The Massachusetts, Sunday Law,

Three years ago Christopher Smith, OF
Boston, broke the Sabbath. Having
been at church in the morning, he
started to walk over to CharlestoWn to
see whether house, into which he was
to move on Monday, had been properly
cleaned. On his return, as he was pass
ing along Austin street, locomotive
struck the gate-the gate-keeper not
getting it open quick enOugh-and the
gate struck him, inflicting a painful in
Jury. Christopher Smith brought his
action against the Boston and Maine
Railroad Company to recover damages.
The defense set up that the plaintiff was
travelling on the Lords Day, not from
necessity or charity. Christopher swore
that he had been at work all the pre-
ceding week. Mrs. Christopher swore
that their furniture was all packed up
at the time, and that they had to move
Monday, as their room had been let to
another person, who was to take possess
sion on that day.
The Superior Court couldn't see where
the necessity for mercy came in here,
and ordered verdict for the defendant.
Christopher appealed, and the Supreme
Judicial Court now alfirms the decision
of the subordinate tribunal, remarking
that there was "no evidence, under our
decisions, which would justify the jury
in finding that the plaintiff was travel
ing at the time of the accident from ne
cessity or charity"
Isn't it nearly time to be thinking
about adjusting our Sunday law to

A friend writing from LaGrande says:
"Our two county paupers voted here on
the 9TH inst. They are 81 years of age,
and of the masculine persuasion, so
suppose it is all right. Not one of the
women in all this county, not even
those who are taxed to help maintain
these free white males, got to vote, how.

and no mistake"

O, Justice, what inconsistencies are
practiced in thy name Manslaughter

CHlLDREN's RIGHTS.

A writer in the Victoria Magazine,
says some important things regarding
children's rights:
The first right of every child IS to be
we'll born; and by this mean that II
has the right to the best conditions,
physical, mental and moral, that il is In
the power of the parents to secure.
w thout this the child is deirauded OF
his rights at the outset, and his life can
hardly fail of beng a painful protest
against broken laws. Centuries OF pre-
paratIon fitted the earth for mans oc-
cupancy, limiting thus the grandeur OF
his destiny. aud suggested that IN an
event Of such magnitude as the lncarna-
ting of soul provision should be exer
cissd, and all the best conditions secured
IN aid of a harmonious and happy result.
Good health, good habits, sound men
tality and reverent love should form the
basis of every new life that is involved.
The mother who gives herself up 10
morbid fancies, who considers her health
an excuse for peIulance and noE-e4erclse
of self-eontroi, proves herself unworthy
of the holy Office OF mother, and ought
not tc be surprised if she reap at later
day the bitter harvest of an nnwlse SOW
ing. Second in importance to none, as
means Of securing the happiness and
best good of childhood and youth, is the
right to be taught obedience 1t is easy to
submit to what We know is inevitable,and
to the little child the requirement OF the
parent should br law without appeal.
The tender, immature being, shut in by
the unknown, where every relation is
mystery and every advance an expert
ment, has right to find itself every
where sustained and directed by the
parent. It should not be tempted to
resistance by laws that are imperiectly
enforced, nor subjected to the injurious
friction Of discussion by having long
list of reasons given for every require
ment.
The habit of obedience to the parents
may be formed before the child is two
years old, and this is a necessary prece,
dent of obedience to lew, the next stage
of true development The child has
right to ask questions aud to be fairly
answered; not to be snubbed as II he
were guilty of an impertinence, nor ige
nored as though his desire for imforma-
ton were of no consequence, nor misled
as if it did not signify whether true or
false impressions were made upon his
mind He has right to be taught
everything he desires to learn, and to be
made certain, when any asked-for infof-
nation is withheld, that it is only defer
red till he is Older and better prepared
to receive it. Answering a child's ques-
jtions is sowing the seeds of its future
character.

BAD EFFECTS OF BEER-DRINKING

The worst result from accidents in the
London Hospitals are said to be among
draymen. Though they are ap-
parently models Of health and strength,
yet, if one of them receives a serious in.
jury, it is nearly always necessary to
amputate, in order to give him the most
distant chance OF life. The draymen
have the unlimited privilege of the
brewery cellar. Sir Ashley Cooper was
orce called to drayman, who was
powerful, fresh colored. healthy looking
man, and haG suffered an injury in his
finger, from small splinter off stave.
The wound, though trifing, suppnrared.
He opened the small abscess with his
lancet. He found, OH retiring, he had
left his lancet Returning for it, he
found the man in dying condition,
The man died IN short time. DIR.
Gordon says, "The moment beeI~drlnkers
are attacked with acute diseases, they
are not able to bear depletion, and die"
DR.. Edwards says of beer-drinkers,
"Thelr diseases are always of danger
Gus character, and in case of accident,
they can never undergo even the most
trifing operation with the security Of
temperate. They almost invariably die
under it." DR.. Buchan says "Malt
liquors render the blood shy and unfit
for circulation hence proceeds obstruc~
tions and Inflammation % the lungs.
There are few great beer drinkers who
are not phthisical, brought on by the
gIutinous and indigestible nature of ale
and porter -. These liquors infiame
the blood, and tear the tender vessels Of
the lungs to pieces" DR.. Maxon says,
Intoxicating drinks, whether taken in
the form of fermented or distilled liquors,
are very fregent predisposing cause Of
disease. The hospitals of New York
show an equally unfavorable record of
the Incorporate, and private practition-
ers everywhere have the same experience,

CHEAP LIVING.

1t is appropriate in this connection
TO call the attention of American
women to most admirable work
done by their German sisters. Ten
years ago two or three ladies OF
wealth and influence in Berlin be-
came impressed with the unnecessary
cost of provision. After considering
the requirements of the case they
began operations by establishing
restaurants somewhat on the plan
Of our holy tree coffee houses where
meals could be procured at little
more than cost price. This was SO
successful that a few years later
the promoters Of the work decided to
form a Housekeeper's Association,
whose object should be the reduction
of the cost of living, the cultivation
of simple and economical habits,
and the improvement of the condition
of servants. The result is that at
latest accounts there were some six
thousand families enrolled in co-ope-
rative associations, purchasing their
supplies direct from their own stores,
and having all their outside work
done at cooperative establishments.
The Genital Bureau imports its sup
plies direct from the producing coun-
try, and furnishes its patrons with
everything at much lower rates than
prevail among general dealers. The
whole of the complicated business
machinery is managed by women;
and its success is so conspicuous
tribute to their business capacities
that some practical way of showing
its methods should be devised for
the benefit Of humanity in general at
Philadelphia next summer.-Janes-
vile Gazette.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see in your issue OF this date
communication headed Female Fight Now, sir,
take the responsibility and hold myself respon-
sible for what say: That the communication
above stated is utterly false, and no truth In 1t.
And the person that wrote it cannot think mucn
of hims elf or word to cause tn same to be put IN

nature to the article. Now Mr.. Editor, will
give you few facts which can prove Mrs. j.
r. Chase came to my house that morning and
while returning home ''Iny wife accompanying
her, as they were passing VIM. Stevens house
his sister Mary came ont with club about two
feet long and ~ inches in diameter in her hand
(instead of soap stick) and commenced using il
very severe on Mrs. Chase's head and shoulders
telling her to the ground. My wife tried to pre-
vent her Mary from striking her again and rails
ed her hands to ward off the blows. At that in
slant she knocked my wife down, falling upon
the frozen ground, which injured her left limb
and she has not been able to use it since The
fiend after my wife was helpless, came back the
second time and dealt her such blows as to cause
fractures and bruises which nearly took her life
Your correspondent says the young woman wa:
scrubbing the steps. He knows better than that
because she was standing on the steps EARNED
with the above mentioned club waiting iol

+" THE BOTs."

Are we "the boys" that used to make
TIE tables ring with noisy follies?
Whose deep-lung'd laughter oft would shake
The ceiling with its thunder-yolleys9
Are we the youths with lips unshorn,
At beauty's feet unwrinkled suitors,
Whose memories reach traditions morn
The days Of prehistoric tutors?
''The boys" we know-but who are these
Whose heads might serve for Plutarch's

Or Fox's martyrs. If you please,
Or hermits OF the dismal ages?
''The bOys'' we knew-can these be those:
Their cheeks with mornings blush were
painted.
Where are the Harrys, Jims, and Joes
With whom we once were well acquainted
If we are they we're not the same;
II they are we, why then they're masking;
Do tell us, neighbor What's your name.

TRAINING GIRLS

For household duties ought to be
considered as necessary as instruc-
tlon in reading, writing and arith-
metic, and quite as universal. We
are in our houses more than half our
existence. and it is the household
surroundings which affect most
largely the happiness or misery Of
domestic life. If the wife knows
how to skeep house, if she under
stands how to "set table," if she
has learned how things ought to be
cooked, how beds should be made,
how carpets should be swept, how
the furniture should be busted, how
the clothing should be repaired,
turned, and altered and renovated
if she knows how purchases can be
made to the best advantage and un-
derstands the laying in ofprovisions,
how to make them SO furthest and
last longest if she appreciates tue
Importance of system, order, tidi-
ness, and the quiet management OF
children and servants, then she
knows how to make little heaven
of home,-how TO win her children
from the streets how to keep her
husband from the clubhouse, the
and the wine cup !;
such family will be trained to social
responsibility, to business success,
and to efficiency and usefulness in
whatever position may be allotted
to them.
It may be safe to say, that not one
girl in ten in our large towns and
cities enters married life, who has
learned to bake loaf of bread, to
purchase roast, to dust painting,
to sweep carpet, or to cut and fit
and make her own dress how much
the perfect knowledge of these
things bears upon the thrift, the
comfort, and the health of families,
may be connected, but not calculated
by figures. It would be an immeas-
arable advantage to make begin
ming by attaching a kitchen to every
girls school in the nation, and have
lessons given daily in the prepare
ton of all the ordinary articles of
food and drink for the table, and
how to purchase them in the market

EDITOR KENosHA TELEGRAPH

I notice in your paper of March %
an account of Female Fight at the
village of Bristol and from the false
hoods therein contained | do not
wonder that the writer withholds
his name to the communication.
First it is asserted that one of the
lpromenaders made some remark
about the young woman which was
not very complimentary. This as
sertion is pronounced by the two
women assailed while travelling
Ipeaceably upon the highway as false.
They assert and will assert upon
oath that not one qoord was spoken
by either of them to the party assail-
ing them nor was there any CONVEX
sation being then CARVED on between
the two women assailed about the
virago that knocked them down in
the street with a club apparently
made for the purpose. And now,
Mr. Editor, | wish to relate the
facts in this case as told by the two
women assailed (Mrs. Chase and
Mrs. Geo. Perrigo). AS these two
women were passing along the high
way quietly and peaceably they
were bounced upon by virago OF
SANDER notoriety and Mrs. Chase
was knocked down upon the rough
and frozen ground and the blows
| being laid on after she was down,
whereupon Mrs. Perrigo attempted
to ward off the blows from Mrs.
Chase and as a penalty for so doing
was herself knocked down and
pounded after she was down, and
both of these women are seriously
injured. DR.. Miller, of Kenosha,
can enlighten any one of the injuries
received by these women. Mrs.
Perrigo was disabled and had to be
carried home, and she is still disabled;
and Mrs. Chase received internal
injuries from which she very proba-
bly will not recover. And while
your anonymous correspondent and
his abettors may treat this matter
lightly they may be convinced ere
long that this is a serSoats matter and
an outraged community will speak
ere long In tones that cannot be
misunderstood. And I consider
your anonymous correspondent not
fit to be classed with the human
race and fit companion for Jackals
and Hyenas. And to those who
laugh down their threats and work
behind the curtain and countenance
such conduct. to those | wish to say
you can aid and abet in trumping
up a SANDER suit against me, you can
put up cats nest and try to have
melarrested for it,you can encourage
v,ragos to kill my wife, but all this
will not drive me from the place
nor stop my selling salt, feed and
-four. And you can distinctly I'M
derstand that when leave Bristol
shall 90 feet foremost.
