Romance In Real Life.

A STORY has just come to light that reads
like sensation novel. Mr.. John Rodman
a mechanic, was sufferer by the great
fire of 1866, and moved with his family to
Harlem, N. Y, where he had brother
residing-a widower with small property.
Soon after going to Harlem Mr. Rodman
got chance to go to Valparaiso. He
went, leaving his wife, son and daughter
with his brother. At first he sent money
home, and then his letters ceased. Then
the brother died and his little property
was eaten up by lawyers in the settlement.
Mrs. Rodman with her young son and
daughter returned to Portland and became
seamstress. The latter part of 1878 an
English Captain took the son, boy of
fifteen, to sea with him. The vessel was
wrecked in the gulf, and all were sup
posed to be lost. The mother was taken
sick, but physician of this city took
charge of her and afterward rendered her
much aid. A short time ago Mrs. Rod
man saw an advertisement in a New York
paper that if the wife of John ROdman,
formerly Of Portland, would apply to
certain New York firm she would hear of
something to her advantage. Her doctor
advised her to go to New York, and she
went there with her daughter, interviewed
the law firm, discovered her husband had
failed to hear from her before she failed to
hear from him; that he had been with
Myers, the great American railroad spec
ulator, and made his pile," and wanted
his family, fpossible, to join him in New
Orleans, for which place he was about to
sail. The firm had been compelled to adj
vertise, as the family when they left Har-
lem left no traces and no friends. The
mother and daughter left for New Orleans.
They arrived day or two before the YES
sci by which Mr. Rodman was expected.
While out walking the daughter was in
suited by young dandy, who thought the
two women were unprotected. A young
sailor lad knocked the dandy into the
gutter, and as he turned disclosed the
features of the long-lost son. 1t seems
when his vessel was wrecked he was
picked up by a Norwegian vessel and
carried to a port In that country. From
thence he went to Calcutta, thence to
Southampton, and arrived in New Orleans
the day before. A few days afterward the
father arrived and the long-separated
family were reunited and happy.-Portland

Schenckss Mandrake Pills

to the total eradication of all bilious attacks,
prompt to start the secretions of the liver, and
give healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed,
it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to
have invented remedy for these stubborn COM
plants, which develop all the results produced by
a heretofore free use of calomel, mineral justly
dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be de-
structve in the extreme to the human system.
That the properties of certain vegetables comprise
all the virtues of calomel without its injurious ten
denotes is now an admitted fact, rendered indis-
putable by scientific researches; and those who
use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that
the best medicines those provided by nature in
the common herbs and roots of the fields. w
These pills open the bowels and correct all bill
ious arrangements without salvation or any of the
injurious effects of calomel or other poisons.

MITCHELL's NEW SERIES OF GEoGRAPHIEs.-
Although it has not been our good fortune to
see the latest series of Mitchell's Biographies,
We feel perfectly justified in recommending &
them to the Catholic public Of the South. In
old times, MitchelPs Biographies were in use
in most of our educational establish ments
though here and there passages to be met
with which, if not absolutely false, were at least
offensive to Catholics. Still, in their general
excellence, this fault, serious as it was, was
overlooked. In the series which we recommend
however, all Objectionable matter has been
eliminated by Mr.. NJ. r Keegan, OF Chicago
thus removing the only objection that could be
urged against them.
The Cardinal Archbishop of New York, the
hbishops of Cincinnati and Toranto and q
number of other Bishops, have given written
testimony of their approval of Mitche11's Geo
graphies revised by Mr.. Keegan, and we
understand that they are in use in the colleges
and schools of the Jesuit, Redemptorist and
BencdCtine Fathers, in those of the Christian
Brothers, in the Converts of the Sisters oi
Charity (St. Joseph's Emmittsburg among the
rest) and in those of the Sisters of Mercy and
of Eotre Dame.
We have no further space to devot' to this
subject at present, but would recommend that
all interested read carefully Mr.. Keegaus ad-
vertisement on the fifth page of to.day's
MORNING. STAR, and then write to him for fur
ther in Information.

" The Athens of Amefica has arrived at
such "A high degree of culture that men and
women are equal-especially in the street cars.
1t is daily pleasure to see the seats occupied
by strong men, while the centre of the car is
filled with pale, faced girls and old women, who
cling to each other because it tires them to
hold the strap above their heads. The men
generally read newspapers, and never look up.
If they have no paper they pretend to be in so
deep q calculation of business matters tina.
they have utterly forgotten there are women
standing near. On the long routes their pre-
occupation is quite painful to witness. Some
times a weli-dressed young lady gets a seat
from a man who thinks that he has, therefore,
a right to stare at her. But poor girls and old
ladies had better look out for empty cars.
This, from the Boston Pilot. Among the
bandits of New Orleans, a woman, young or
old, whether dressed in silks or in rags, is al
ways sure of seat, respectfully rendered, if
the car she enters is crowded. Bat we are only
semi-civilized, and New Orleans is not the
"Athens of America" And that in morals and
manners she may never deserve that title We
shall ever pray"

RIGHrs OF CLEANERS IN FRANcE.-In
all countries the right or privilege of
cleaning is fruitful source of dispute
Poor folks must appeal to Holy Writ for
their charter in England but in France,
tenceforth, they can rely upon the Court
OF Cessation. Thus the law is laid down ::
"a land owner may not tnrn sheep into
his field until two days after the harvest
has been garnered, so as to allow cleaners
sufficient time for the exercise of their
rights. If proprietor or farmer have the
right, so long as his field is rot wholly
reaped, to pick up for his own profit ears
Of wheat dropped by the harvestmen, he
has no power to cede that right to other
persons, even though it be done in charity,
seeing that the poor would thus be deprived
of resources which the humanity of the
law has reserved for them" Any munich
cal regulation to the contrary will not be
upheld before the tribunals. So the great
question of cleaning is decided for ever in
France.

A Prohibition Speech a Century Ago

The following is taken from debates in
the House of Lords, Feb. 81, 16i2-3-
Lord Harvey, in the course of an eloquent
speech, on altering the duty on spirituous
liquors observed:
Almost every legislator of the world.
my lords from whatever origin he derived
his authority, has exercised it in the pro-
hibition of such food as tended to iniure
the health and destroy the vigor of the peo-
pie for whom he designed his Institutions.
The welfare Of the public, my lords, has
always been allowed to be the supreme law;
and when any governors sacrifice the gem
eral good, either TO private views, or tenn
porary convenience, they dcviatc, Mt once,
from integrity and policy, they betray
their trust and neglect their interest
The prohibition OF those commodities
which are instrumental to vice, is not only
dictated by policy but nature; nor does it
| indeed require much sagaClty, when the
evil is known, TO find the proper remedy
| for even the Indians who have not yet re-
duced the art Of government TO science,
nor learned to make long haraugues upon
the different interests Of foreign powers,
| the necessity of raising supplies, or the i'm
| portance and extent of manufactures have
! yet been able to discover that distilled
| spirits ere pernicOus to society, and that
the use OF them can only be hindered by
prohibiting the sale of them. For this rea-
| son, my lords, they have petitioned that
none of this delicious poison should be i'm
ported from Britain; they have desired US
! to confne this fountain of wickedness and
misery to stream in our country, without
pouring upon them the foundations of de-
bauchery by which we are ourselves over
| flowed.
When we may be sent with justice to
| learn the rude and ignorant Indian, the
! first element of civil wisdom, we have sure
| ~ not much right TO boast of our foresight
and knowledge; we must surely confess.
| that we have hitherto valued ourselvers
upon our arts with very little reason, since
we have not learned how TO preserve either
wealth or virtue, either peace or commerce.

The Best Manure.

IL is an established fact, says the, Sc len
tho Farmer, that no one constituent Of
plant food can keep q soil fertile. Some
farmers buy freely Of phosphate m0nures,
rs bone dust, supcrphosphate Of lime,
and experience good results for a few years,
and praise it accordingly. Then the crops
fall Off and the fertilizer dealer and his
goods are denounced, aud some other
manure Is tried-nitrogcnous probably
The change improves the yield, but this in
time fails. Perhaps, now, the farmer gets
ashes, or other manure containing potash
into the system and with still more mark
ed results, it may be, than with the first
use of the other sorts. But this does not
last, and he returns in disgust to his stable
manure, and again his results are good, for
in barn-yard manure are all the elements
of fertility, though usually insufficient in
quantity to secure the best results.
Now what is the reason2 1t is not that
any one item of plant food is more efficient
than another; but the explanation lies in
the fact that the kind that produced the
favorable effect was that in which the soil
was most lacking. Thus it is that while
crops require food in certain amounts and
proportions, yet the application of potash
for example, in some form, or superphos-
phate Of lime, alone causes a large yield
for year or two, and then the benefcent
action ceases, unless the other requisite
substances are supplied by natural resour-
ces, or by system Of cropping, which is
infrequent.
The best system of manuring far ds,
then, is to supply all the fertili. le-
ments which the soil and crops de in
proper portions and amounts, white the
same time taking care of the physical on
dition of the soil, as by keeping up the
store of humus.
Verify the farmer needs the best educa-
ton, the best judgment, that training and
study can give, while some of them say
they know enough, and have no time to
real. nor any need of light and knowledge.
