AN anomalous and remarkable change
Is known to take place in the heating and
cooling Of iron wires phenomenon
which has been vsriously accounted for
by chemists and metallurgis,s. While
the iron Is first heating there is sudden

when the heat is cut off, the wire co0ls \
little and then suddenly reheats and glows,
afterward quietly passing down to black

ON THE DOCTRINES OF DEVILS.
We must set down spiritualism the doctrines Of
the devils.
The Revelator says he saw three unclean spirits
come out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast
and false prophet He says they are the spirits
of devils.
We must set down JEWISH the doctrine of devils.
They say the Lord has not come yet, We must
put this down the doctrine of devils.
Unitarianism is the doctrine of devils.
Some of them trying to make out the Lord Is no
more than good man, when lie thought 1t no
robbery to make himself equal with God. We
think this doctrine will not overcome the works
of the devil.
Take all denominations, crecds, instruments,
costly meeting houses, hired priests, without
the spirit of the Lord, we cannot overcome the
worl', flesh and devil
Peter tells us flow it can be done. lie opened his
mouth and said perceiYe God is no respecter of
persons, but in every nation he that fears him
and works Righteousness is accepted.
Such ones can overcome the devil
Let us look at the disease of all mankind-to
doctor them so as to overcome the works of the
devils
To doctor with remedy worse than the disease
10 helping on the work of the devil.
Finally letus hear what the Reveator says : The
devil that deceived them was cast into'a lake of
fire and birthstone with the beasts and false
prophets--shall be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
The true saint of God has the promise of going
into the beloved city and new Jei1lsalenl-the
streets pure gold-to reign with him.

THE GILMORE CoNCERT.--It seems
rather to astonish our eastern brethren
that the services of the great Gilmore
with his wonderful band and his prima
donna and operate corps, should have
been secured for the last Gift Concert of
the Public Library. But it is nevertheless
true. Mr.. Briggs does nothing by halves.
He has promised that the last concert
shall be the greatest, and he will keep his
word. The 9th Of February will be the
most memorable day ever seen in Louis
vile, millions of dollars will be given
away, and the recipients will be greeted
with glorious melodies and rapturous
songs such as never before echoed in any
western city.

FIppant Talk on a serieus Subject.

An evening paper of this city is greatly
exercised that "sOme Of ths New York
papers" as it says, are excessively it,
dignaut at the proposition 70 suspend the
writ Of hab;as corpus in parts OF the
South ten years after the war" Any SEN
si5le newspaper, We Cpine, Whether Of
New York or elsewhere, may well be IL
dignant at proposition 10 throw down
in any part of this country, at the pres
ent time, or under any emergency that is
now threatened, what has been regarded
more than anything else as the bulwark
of English and American liberty. The
excessive indignation which this PROPOSE
ton excites is due to the fact there is no
call for this extraordinary measure, moth
ing to Justify it. 1t is time, after the cx-
elements of the last fifteen years, to be-
gin to exercise a little conservative
spiritregarding the established safeguards
set up to prevent the governing power
from interfering with the rights
of the individual, to insist that all
our citizens alike enjoy their advantages,
and to cease advocating the easy modif-
cation of established principles and
usages, and the suspension, on slight pre-
texts, of the most important guarantees
of personal safety. To eXpatiate on what
circumstances might justify the suspen-
sion is nonsense. The point is that nolg
there is nothing to justify it, and why
should power which only the gravest
emergency ought to call into action be
placed at the discretion of President
Grant? Any one who appreciates the
history of the Anglo-Saxon race and the
struggles that it has passed through in
establishing the safeguards of human lib
erty, and the history of the Gallo race,
and the horrors and wrongs that have re-
suited from the absence of those safe,
guards, will not be willing to forego Eng
lish for French presidents. The outrage
power Of the meanest minions to commit,
if citizens were taken from the protection
of courts and jurieS by the suspension OF
this writ in any section, and which they
would commit where partisan bitterness
was rife, is something which we do not
wish to have mads possible. The propo
sition is simply to use means justitiable
only in an emergency when the very life
of Commonwealth is threatened, for the
purpose Of accomplishing political OBJ
ject, political not in partisan sense, but
still matter Of domestic politics. We
trust there will be Indignation enough to
ire Ient anything of the aort.-Globe.

Unreasonable and Injurious Re-
straints.

A manageable young woman occupies,
or is made to occupy, position Of pecu
liar hardship. Our theory is that a wo-
man should never make advances toward
the man she loves and would marry. Such
q step is deemed inconsistent with maid
en- modesty. do not quarrel with this
but the effect has been to make sensitive
natures hypocrites. 1t ought not to do
it but it does. Every modest young wo-
man, possessing good degree Of sagacity,
plays double part almost always, when
in the society Of young men. The fear
is that by some word or look, or act, she
shall express such degree Of interest in
young man rs shall lead him to believe
that she is after him. Young women
study the effect of language, they often
Shun civiltieS, they put on an artificial
and constrained style of behavior, for
fear that some complacent fool VIII mis-
construe them, or some gentleman whom
they wish to please will deem too forward
and 50 become disguised. Many wo-
man owes life of celibacy and disap-
pointment to the fact that she ncver felt
at liberty to act out herself
Now my idea is that this universal mask
wearing system should be broken up. 1t
does injustice to all parties. If there is,
in society, any poor creaturs in the form
of man whose vanity is so open to fat
terry that young woman cannot treat him
with natural and cordial politeness, with
out his thinking that she would like to
marry him, and is trying to ensnare him,
let him think SO, and trust to time and
circumstances for justice. l have given
my advice without many qualifications,
but do not misconstrue me. Iwrotc upon
the superstition that you have common
s2nSe and know what | mean. / knoH q
large number of fathers and mothers will
think that upon this subject | ought to
guard my language, and be more particu-
lar; but l know very well that if you have
not sense and prudence enough to take
this general counsel, and use it judiciouS-
ly, no qualifications l could make would
be of any service to you.
l trust you, believe you are virtuous
young women, with pure hearts and true
intentions; and knoto there is no danger
to you until you cease to be such. You
have an instinct-God's word in your
own souls-that tells you when a man
takes first wrong step towards you, and
if you do not repel that step in such q
manner that it will never be repeated, do
you think anything l could say to you
would do you any good? | say this, that
perfect frankness and cordially in the
treatment of young men are entirely con-
sistant with the safely of any true woman
from insult or offensive familiarity. Is
your father afraid to trust you out OF
his sight? am not. If were / would
be ashamed 90 confess it, particularly if
you were q daughter of mine. ! believe
you, and believe, moreover, that if this
contemplate idea that men are your nat
ural enemies, and that you must cheat
them and look out for them, could be got
out Of the way and free and entertained
social intercourse established between
you and them, they would be much better
and you altogether safer for -1im0thy

An adjourned caucus Of Republican
Congressman was hel list Friday
evening to consider the proposed new
political measure comforting upon the
President extraordinary powers. No
Senators were present. The bill as
amended was ord red to be reported
to the House. 1t authorizes the Pres
ident to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus in certain cases, additionally
increases the election machinery and
visits with severe penalties all viola
tons Of its provisions.
Speaker Blaine was present and op.
posed tile till. lie remarked that he
could not see why Southern States
like Virginia, North Carlina and Ten
nessee, that were now trying to sus-
tam good Governments, should be
menaced ana excited by o suspension
of the habeas corpus. Moreover til.
pending proposition was unlimited as
to territory and unlimited as to time.
The bill, if it should become II law.
would confer upon the President Of
the United States, for ali time to come
whoever that President might be, the
right and power to suspend the habeas
corpus. at his sole and absolute dis
erection, 10 any city, county, district
or State in the Union.

stood that it costs argc amount OF
money for many, if not most, Of our
higher officers to secure their election
and to offset, they have 90 to draw
all the pcrquisites possible, in order
to get their money back. In other
words, man running for office has
got to pay ont third, half, or the
whole amount of his salary for the
purchase of votes, and not unfre-
euently it occurs that men running
for Office pay out five, ten, fifteen, or
twenty times the amount Of their
salaries to procure their election. a
New York Assembly man gets $500
salary, and yet it is known that in
some districts 1t costs $4,000 for an
election. 1t costs many Congressman
$4,000 to gain an election to an
office that pays only $4,000.
Now to say that this is deplorable
state of things, is using very mild
term. But who is responsible for this
state OF the public franchise? Take
first the olIlce-seeker. Is he so
anxious to spend his money THAI he
checrfLlly pays out the half, or the
whole of his salary for IN election,
without some probability Of getting
his money back? All he means to
make his office pay him; for evidence
look at the political wrecks. 1t not
unfrequcntly happens that gooA pri.
vate citizens are fairly forced to take
nominations because they have got
money, and 10 use the political slang
phrase, "will bleed WE'LL" and also
have party pride, and when once in,
will spend their last dollar rather than
suffer defeat. They are "taken in"
to political gambling bells. are mighty
good fellows rs long IS their money
lasts. Is it surprising that after such
men get into office with empty pockets
they begin to look around to sec when
and where they can get their money
back, or in what way they can judi
cious'y enlarge their perquiSites. Into
whose hands does this enormous
amount go that is paid out for election
purposes? Into the hands Of the
most shiftless and worthless class of
the community, men who are too lazy
TO earn an honest living, bummers,
pushers, droncs, men without morals
or souls, and most Of all into bar
rooms, groceries, saloons, tipping
houses, gambling hells, and all the
places more infamous.
Thus by this system of corrupt
political machinery there is steady
drain on the pockets Of honest, indus
trious tax payers, the only result of
which is to encourage vagabondism,
Incidence and vice, and to subsidizo
all the liquor establishments in the
country.
Where are we drifting? Where is
the hard-pan? Is bribery and fraud
in elections the rule? Is it destroying
all political virtue? Are good,
honest, conscientious voters to be
bought and sold by these polished
vampires? The time has arrived
when the people, and all the people,
should arise and take hold Of this
great evil, and if there are honest
men in the country, put them in the
responsible places and net allow these
polished devils room TO sit down Oh
the political footstool.

The Importance of Good Cooking.

Cooking a potato exactly right so that
it will be Just done, and no more, be
mealy, white, perfect, requires an exer-
else of that talent little short of genius,
so one would think who eats that vege-
table at ordinary tables. The same is
true of onions, that odOrous bulb, which
is almost always served UNDERGONE of
beans, which are either burned in baking
or dried to a choking consistency. Now,
even a hungry epicure, can make a good
meal of three or four things-nicely
cooked meat, perfectly prepared potato, a
dish of ripe fruit, and exemplary bread
and butter. 1t is not variety or quantity
that is SC important as quality, and if
those who cook could only realize this
and precipitate all th'ir powers upon
the perfect preparation of only two dishes
at each meal, those who feeds at their
hands would certainly be the gamers.
1t is a great deal easier, when one has
really made up her mind to do it, to
have everything Just right than it is to
let things drift, for one right thing fits
into another right thing and then the
whole is right. Badly cooked food is not
only sheer waste in nerve, muscle and
soul power. The hungry body vainly
attempts recuperatiOn in trying to digest
and assimilate food not Convenient"
for it, so that what might have been ac-
complished had the food been right re-
mains undonn.

Literature for Children.

We hope we will not be considered a
m~isanthrope if We aver, that of happi-
ness or misery in this life of ours, there
is a prepOnderance of the latter. The
infant in long clothes is not a stranger to
grief; youth is acquainted with anguish
as keen as it is brief; middle ace with
calm endurance suffers continually; and
old age, looking back on all the wears
c~Ontemplates a waste of woes only re-
lieved by an occasional oasis of green
memory.
Since, then, sorrow is the birth-right
and heritage of man, should it not be the
study of the old to shield the impossible
young from emotions that will sadden
the bright spirits? Especially does this
responsibility rest upon the writers of
books, and the editors of magazines and
papers for children. With a majority of
these, a studied effort is made to excite
the emotional nature of the sympathetic
young, the effect Is often the reverse of
salutary-giving them dreary views of
life and discouraging aspects of human
nature, which to an innocent child is
better than it really is.
We were led to these reflections TODAY
by a scene that occurred under our OBJ
servation. A little daughter of nine
summers, OF fine and sensitive organiza-
ton, was reading in another room a re-
Gently published book. She alarmed us
by running into our room, weeping bit
terly, and throwing her arms about us,
sobbed out, "This book is too sad. |
want TO read more, but l cannot" She
would not be comforted, and afterawhile,
her imagination being actively exercised,
she again sobbed out, "Pm so lonesome
to-day, and / don't fel we'll my limbs
ache, and my head hurts me too" Fl
nally she was composed, with face-bath-
ing, caresses and a gentle reprimand, and
was put to bed. In the midst of the
weeping of the little girl, our attention
was called to a wee baby sister Just seven
months old; who, in sympathy was hiding
her head ON her nurses shoulder, and
with %quivering lips was sobbing out her
woes. This was too much. Tears started
10 our own eyes, and we inwardIv de-
