TIE New York Tribune says:
"lt is from The highest social
order among us the colored
man will receive social recog-
milton when he deserves it, and
last from the lowest. The mas
ter of the house will invite him
as his hon ored guest long be-
lore Bld1y will cease 10 jeer at
him as a niger
From which we conclude
that the citizens of Macarthur
are of "the highest social or
der" for while other sections
and other people are wrangling
about admitting colored chill
dren TO the public schools with
The white children, our people
settled the question five years
ago by admitting them. True
We have those in our midst
who prosecute and persecute
and wantonly destroy prop
ty TO satisfy prejudice on &C
count of color, but they are
exceptions, and are not of "the
highest social order among u.s."
The schools nor the public
have suffered no deterioration
in morals or self-respect by ex-
tending to all children the ben
eft of our educational institu-
tions; and we laugh at the
doubts and fears of those who
hesitate to be just.
AS a matter Of history it
should be recorded that some
of the Democracy Of our town
were among the foremost in in.
augurating the new era, pri
vately urging colored people
to send their children to school,
hoping thereby to bring the
Republican party into disre-
rute, by practically placing
whites and blacks alongside OF
each other, or compelling the
Board (who all happened to
be Republicans) TO refuse to
"practice what they preached"
by rejecting them. The per
sons Of color who had been ap.
proached consulted with those
in authority, and with their as
surancc, but much fear and
trembling, started their chill
dren to school. The Democ-
racy awaited the outcome with
anxious eye to increased po.
htical prestige, and so conf
dently did they expect the
Board to reject the colored
children that they had permit
ted their own children to &C.
company them to school about
two weeks before any COM
p aint was made. Then, assured
mat the colored children were

J res, they withdrew their chill
ten from school sin high dud-
= or;" only, however, to be
met with a history of the part
/ ay had performed In actively
j ,uguratlng the movement,
y hlch completely silenced
!aem, so that as soon as they
had tested the frmness of the
Board they quietly returned
their children. Thus was their
old, doubly loaded Democratic
fuzee aimed at the good people
of Macarthur. The recoil was
too great. All the damage was
done in the rear Of the gun,
and from the time the old fuzee
was discharged to the present
they have quietly &C
cepted the situation, not even
attempting 10 make the subject
a matter of test in the elec-
tion of a member of the Board.

THE BIT or REA DING.

81 have no time to read" is the COM
mon complaint, and especially of women,
whose occupations are such as to pre-
vent continuous book perusal. They
seem to think, because they cannot de-
vote rs much attention to books as they
are compelled to devote to their avoca-
lions, that they cannot read anything.
But this is a great mistake It isn't the
books VIC finish vt sitting which always
DO us the most good Those we devour
in the odd moments, half dozen pages
at time, often give us moro satisfaction,
and are more thoroughly aigested than
those we make a particular effort to
read. The mon who have made their
matk in The world have generally been
the men who have in boyhood formed
the habit of reading at every available
moment, whether for five minutes or
five hours.
1t is the habit OF reading, rather than
the time at our command, that helps us
on the road to learning. Many of the
most cultivated persons, whose names
have been famous as students, haye
given only two or three hours a Gay to
their books. Ii We make use of spare
minutes in the midst of our work, and
read a little, if but page or para
graph, we shall find orr brains quick
ened and our toll ightened by just so
much increased satisfaction as the book
gives us. Nothing helps along the mo-
notonous daily round so much as fresh
and striking thoughts, to be considered
while our hands are busy. A new idea
from u new volume is like oil which
reduces the friction of the machinery of
life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as II
stimulus to action, and becomes one of
most precious deposits in the treasury
of our recollection. All knowledge is
made up of small parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which, taken together, are valuable
weapons for the mind and substantial
armor for the soul. "Read anything
continuously, says DR.. johnson, and
you will be learned" The odd minutes
which we are inclined to waste, if care
fully availed of fox instruction, will, in
the long run, make Golden hours and
golden days that we shall be ever thank
full for.

A DISTINGUISHED Vermont lawyer has
revived and published the details of
celebrated murder trial which occurred
in that State some sixty years ago,
which form peculiarly interesting
chapter of reading. A man named Col
vim had disappeared, and two brothers
named Boorn were arrested on suspi-
cion of having murdered him. One of
them confessed, but under circumstances
that seem to have amounted to duress.
Both of them were convicted and sen
fenced to be hanged, but the sentence
of one was committed to Imprisonment
for life. Then it occurred to somebody
to advertise for the murdered man. and
this was done almost as thoroughly as
if the advertiser had patent nostrum
to sell. The result was that Colvin was
found in New Jersey in time to save the
life of the condemned man.

RISE or THE NEW YORK "TRIBUNE.


RISE OF THE NEW YORK "TRIBUNE.'
The following brief and lively picture
from Ingersoll's Life Of Greeley shows
us the Tribt0to generation ago:
But not now further to anticipate,
it may be gathered from what has been
set forth as to the history of the journal
founded and conducted by Horace Gree
ley, that it became q great establish
ment within a few years after the stormy,
dark aud dreaIy day on which it made
its first appearance. At the head of it
was he who came to be confessedly the
greatest of journalists. He had about
him. as his lieutenant and his editorial
associates, men of notable intellectual
power, of vast and varied accomplish
ments, of reformatory 81 irit all devoted
to their chief, with singular affection
even more devoted to the Tribune if
possible. And they all knew that he
was more devoted to the Tribune than
he WIS to himself. The Journal, as we
have seen, was in every respect enter
prising. It had correspondents in diff
ferent parts of the republic, and we'll
organized bureau at the national CAPT
tai. Moreover, the character of the
7TibUac was such that it ever had an
army Of volunteer contributors among
the thoughtful men and women of the
country. A new idea did not start it
from its propriety and we have never
had journal SO conspicuously noted
for fair-play. Thus, without injurious
ly abridging intelligence of current
events, it surpassed its contemporaries
in intelligence of current thought, more
especially tho thought of the general
body politic-of the common people,
as We say. Mr.. Coleridgc, had he lived
to see the sight, might have said the
New York Tribune was very great
newspaper both effectively and sub
jectively. Tt gave the best accounts of
things taking place in the world without
and the world within. Many minds Of
all countries paid their willing tribute
TO the Tyidwae, not only because of its
own enterprise, but because from its
origin its paramount object was plainly
manifest-the welfare of the people.
OF its conflicts III this behalf, Oft 'isms'
which were unpopular, of its visions
which have become bcnefcent realities,
we shall have occasion to speak as we
go along the journey of the EDITORS
life"

ALL readers of g East Lynne" will re-
member how startlinsly romantic it
seemed to them that the hero of the
book and his two wives should uncon-
sciously dwell together under the same
roof Real life, however, has produced
more practical situation, with much
the same materials, if the story of an
Eastern journal is to be believed. A
married pair in New York, after living
ogether nine years, and having three
children, discovered there was nothing
congenial between them, and were di-
vorced, the children remaining with the
father, the mother being permitted to
see them at her convenience. The wife
went home to her father, who shortly
afterward died, hopelessly bankrupt.
The woman who, previously, as the
child of luxury and the wife of opu-
lence, had never known what it was to
want for a single thing, suddenly found
herself thrown out upon the world and
forced to seek livelihood as best she
could. At first she undertook sewing
for shops, then attending stores, and
finally keeping a very plain boarding
house, in none of which did Ghe sue
coed. One day, when almost driven to
despair, she mustered up courage and
went to her former home, and asked the
one who had succeeded her us mistress
of the house if she woul / not befriend
her ever so little, as sic was on thepoint
of starving, as her wan and haggard
condition too plainly showed. Womcn's
ears and hearts are always open to the
sutferings of their fellow beings. The
unfortunate was invited to remain until
the husband returned, which she re-
luctantly did, and when he came the
matter was thoroughly discussed. 1t
was mutually agreed for wife No. to
remain and make her home in the house
over which she once ruled as mistress.
And there she is to be found to-day,
seemingly satisfied with the change,
and apparently not caring that the love
that was once pledged solemnly before
God to her alone is now bestowed on
another.

A GOOD ONE ON CHANDLER.

Don Piatt tells the following in the
Washington Capita:
"Not bad story is current among
Americans in Europe in this connection,
concerning our great Michigander, Sen
ator Chandler. While making his grand
tonr of Europe he encountered our
friend, Gen. lie Fevre, distinguished
linguist, then United States Consul at
Nuremberg. The conversation turning
on bills presented by landlords, the
Senator said he could not complain.
His bill, compared to those he had to pay
in Washington, were reasonable enough.
But there is one thing that puzzles me,
he continued; wherever l go, if but
for one night, | am charged with a
buggy. Now the charge is low if | ever
had buggy, but l haven't seen buggy
since left the States" Our Consul was
bothered. He asked at last to look at
the bill, and found the learned Senator
had mistaken the French word 'bougie'
(candle) for the honest American one,

The recent decision of New York
court, in a breach of promise suit, that
10 words are necessary to make a con-
tract Of marriage, but that frequent
kissing, or hugging, or pressing OF the
hand is sufficient, and the affirmation of
the decision by the highest courts, is,
naturally enough, attracting much at
tention The ST. Louis Democrat, COM
menting on the decision, expresses a
fear, now that they have gone thus far,
that the New York judges may presently
discover that since kissing constitutes q
contract of natrimony, the married
man or woman who kisses somebody
else has contracted to commit bigamy,
and SO is liable to punishment as d
criminal. Nor is it quite clear how this
principle will apply to the kissing of
persons who are yet too young to marry.
Coupled with ono other decision, in
itself sufficiently remarkable, rendered
by the New York courts some years ago,
the new theory seems likely to abrogate
forms OF marriage altogether In that
case, woman having sued for the
widows share of the property left by
the deceased, it was decided that no
formal marriage ceremony was necessary
to give her the legal rights of wife.
Now the courts make kissing a contract
OF matrimony, but since no formal ccle-
mony is necessary to make marriage
legal, will not the next decision be that
people who have kissed each other are
legally married already? Then if II
man kisses any other woman than his
wife he has committed bigalnv, and if
an unmarried man kisses an unmarried
woman, she can thereafter demand SUD
port while he lives, and share of his
estate after death. Really, OSCILLATION
. IS getting to be dangerous business.
Nobody can tell how soon these new
doctrines of the New York courts may
extend elsewhere.
