MANY are able to give substantial
help to those who arc in need; money,
TO tide over some financial trouble; food
to keep the family from starving; gifts
that hourish the heart with assurances
of love; something that may be a trihe
in itself, bot helps make up the sum Of
human happiness. But perhaps you
cannot do this; you have a large family
aud a limited income, or are otherwise
prevented from making the hand the
almoner Of the heart. Well, then,
draw on the spiritual treasury. Give
kind words TO those who need them;
comfort those who are bowed down;
speak lovingly to little children, and
encouragngly to those who faint for
this support. Stand ready to help ey.
erybody.

The Free Press takes umbrage at
what the La Crosse Leader says about
Carpenters supporters in the seventh
district. We agree with the Leader,
however, believing Carpenters friends
here to be like angels visiis-few and
far between.

THE La Crosse Leader says that "Mr'
Carpenter was dead weight on the
Republican party during the late can
vass." Whereat the Milwaukee SENT

Leader in nearly Il full column article.
The Leader still lives.
But we would not pass this matter
lightly The people are awake to their
interests, and ii politicians are deter.
mined to foist Mr.. Carpenter upon them
regardless Of their wishes, and reckless
of consequences, it is about time that
the politician" were rebuked. Mr.
Carpenter is positively obnoxious TO IA
majority of the people of this state and
hi. friends ought to know it. But
their secret intention is to rule or ruin,
and the sooner their insoleuce is rebuk.

your gag law, if you choose to do so.

The employees OF this office were, on last
Tuesday, made the happy recipients OF compli-
plmentary card, from our friend, W. S. Stutz,
accompanied by the largest, ripest and most de-
liclous watermelon we have seen this season.
This is not the first time he has served the
''boys'' in this manner, which we and they
think is the embodiment of cleverness. The
midnight toilers' who ply their hard task fol
the diffusion OF knowledge, to world which
other wise would lie entombed in heath
EN- darkness, are not appreciated generally by
those who profit by their arduous labor. We
are glad to see these marks of respect shown
them. The ''devil'' said it was SO large that he
had to geta ''Confed'' saber to open it. Mr..
Stutz has the thanks of the Office for his kind
ness.

At meeting of the members of the Staun-
ton Bar, held in the Court House on Wednes-
day the 10Th of August, 1874, N. K. Trout, ESQ.,,
was called to the chair, and G.. M. Harrison,
ESQ.,, was appointed secretary.
After some appropriate remarks, Judge Shelf
fey offered the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
1. Again have the members Of this bar been
called together to pay the last tribute of frater
ternal regard and kindly respect to one of their
number who has been summoned to the SUI
pfeme tribunal of justice and mercy.
John Burksdale Watts, after lingering and
painful illness, and in the siXty-seventh year
of his age, died in this city on the 18th OF the
present month. In his last hours he was sooth-
ed by the presence aud loving attention OF those
most dear to him, and he was visited and cared
for by friends, full Of warm sympathy with
him in his sufferings, and thus followed to the
portal of death by the love and prayers of those
whom of all others he would have had near him
in his supreme trial, he yielded up his spirit to
God who gave it to our common Father,
whose COMMISSIONS fail not and whose tender
| mercies are over all his creatures.
2. Major Watts was born in the county OF
Albemarle, but for many years has resided III
this city,as a Deputy clerk of the Circuit Court
and afterwards and for about twenty years as
respected member Of this bar.
| Marked as he was by some striking peculiar
tiles, perhaps eccentricities Of character, he was
nevertheless, a true and warm-hearted friend
constant in his devotion to the objects OF his
domestic affections, and amid the reVerses OF
fortune which at times beset him, he was pa
tent, submissive and self-denyng, and with
sturdy resolution sought to retrieve the losses OF
. adversely and above all Ito owe no man any
thing.'' In all the stations he filed he aimed
to discharge his duties with fidelity, with zeal
GUS earnestness and with such skill and ability
as he was endowed with He was true to his
clients and untiling in his efforts to protect
the interests confded to his cane and although
he did not attain the highest rank in the pro-
fession. he was entitled to and enjoyed our
sincere esteem and fraternal good will as
lawyer and man.
3. That we tender to his afflicted family the
expression of coincidence and sincere sympathy
with them in their sorrow, and request the
Secretary Of this meeting to transmit to them
copy of the foregoing resolutions.
A. That we will wear the usual badge OF
mourning for our deceased brother Tor thirty
days.
s. That the courts sitting in this city De re,
uuested to spread upon their minutes copy or
these resolutions and that the same be publish
ed in the city papers.

HEALTH.-What blessing is health, and
how little appreciated, until lost, and as with
Individuals so it is with cities. A city in health,
the authorities seldom think of its sanitary con-

The reprint of the WESTMINSTER REVIEW
for July has just been issued by the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company of New York. The
following are the contents l. ''Butler's Anal
ogy-its strength and weakness" II. 'Emi-
gration'' III. stGoethe and Mill contrast. "
". ''The Admiralty and the Navy" V. ''Mr.
Lewes and Metaphysics" VI. ''The Emanci-
patton of Women VII. ''Lamarck.'' VIII.
''The Naturalization of the Established
Church,
In the review of the Analogy" the writer,
after briefly noting the religious characteristics
of the times in which it was written, and the
general design OF the whole work, confines
| himself, for illustrations of the reasoning, to
| those chapters which deal with the objections
to Christianity prevalent in Buffers day; and
| offers some observations on the method and the
argument, especially with reference to Reyela
! ton and the Atonement. Though the review
er does not accept the conclusion, he gives hgf
praise to this standard text book, and remarks
that 'sneither during his lifetime nor since has
anything which can be called an answer to his
| Analogy been attempted"
The article on >'GOetnc and Mill" is OF unu
sual interest The manner in which the natu-
raj capacities of both were developed, the cir
cumstances in which they lived,and their modes
| of thought and action as developed by those
circumstances, are represented in much de-
| tail.
| Article V. is a review of problems of Life
and Mind" by G.. A. Lewes. The plan and
object of the work are described at some length
and then the reviewer enters into long exam.
/ ination of Mr.. Le.wes's treatment of metaphvs-
ical questions, especially controverting his
claim on behalf of science to control metaphys-
| ical research.
| The writer of the article on ssThe emancipa-
ton of Women takes the position that women
if not actually in state Of slavery at the pres
ent time, are not very far removed from it,
though he admits that many of them are igno-
rant of the fact. He then proceeds to state
their real or fancied grievances, and advocates
female suffrage as the first step toward their
| liberation.
| Although the Improvements in microscopes
within the last fifty years have added so great
! ly to our knowledge of animals and plants as
| to detract much from the value of some OF the
writings of Iamarck, others, especially those
on biology. are Of undoubted interest. His
s'Phlosophie Zoologique," and 'sHistorie Ma
| turelle DIES Animaux sans Verrebres," are re-
viewed in Article VII.
| The notices under the head of ssContempo-
rary literature are as full as usual. No few
er than one hundred and seventy new books
are here ehronicled for the quarter.
