Good TempIar Anniversary at FARM
ington. 80
The Farming ton Lodge of Good Templars
celebrated its tenth anniversary on Satur-
day evening last. The exercises were
highly Interesting and exhibited in mark
ed degree, one Of the substantial benefits of
this organization, via. the education Of its
members of conducting business. The ex-.
ercises Of this occasion were presided over
oy young man, who has yet to reach his
majority, aud although the hall (Aspin-
wall's) was crowded with an intelligent au-
dlence of the fathers and mothers of that
thrifty neighborhood, this buy presided in
manner worthy of imitation and emula-
ton by many of our legislative chairmen
Of sCoamittees of the whole Speeches
songs, and instrumental music, select read
ings, with superb oyster supper, at the
Granger rate of ''75 cents per couple" was
the programme of exercises, which taken all
in all, was both Interesting and instructive .
Total Abstinence sentiment, is rapidly
winaing its way among sensible people,
through the agency of such organizations.

was attacked. New England had passed a
law imposing imprisonment for life on Catho-
lie priests, and reward was offered for the
head of Rale. He escaped into the woods,
There he remained thirty-six hours. Then
he returned and with wonderful courage built
another chapel. The English governor sent
word to the Indians that he would rebuild
their chapel if they would agree to receive
the clergy he would choose. The Indian
chief replied: "When you came here no one
OF you spoke of prayer or of the Great Spirit.
You thought only of my skins and furs. But
one day met French black-coat in the for
est. lie did not look at the skins withwhich l
was loaded, but he said words to me of the
Great Spirit, of Paradise and of hell, and of
prayer, by which is the only path to heaven.
So tell you, will hold fast to the PRAYERS of
the French. 1 will keep them until the earth
burn up and perish"
Foiled in this attempt the English resorted
to the Moslem method Of fire and sword, and
perpetrated horror surpassed only by Catho-
lie massacres of Protestants on the other side
of the water. In 1724 the village was attacked
by band of English with their Mohawk allies.
Father Rale was shot dead at the foot of the
cross. Women and children were killed indis-
criminately. The chapel was robbed and then
fired. Next day when the survivors crept
back to their ruined homes they found the
body of Rale not only pierced by hundred
balls. but with the skull crushed by hatchets.
arms and legs broken, and mouth and eyes
filled with dirt. The records of Catholic in
tolerance contain no more shameful and bar
barouS history than this.
For six years after this the mission at Nor
ridgewock was without priest. Then Faith
er James de Sirenne was sent on from Que
bee. But in 1853 the French surrendered
Canada, and the missions went down. Years
after, when the Colonies had separated from
Great Britain, the Catholics of MARYLAND
sent Father Ciquard to the Abnakis of Maine,
and in 1881, resident missionary was estab-
lished among them. A beautiful church was
built, and two years later a monument was
erected to Rale on the spot where he was
slain hundred and nine years before. To
theshame of Maine be it said, that monu-
ment was torn down by a Know-nothing
mob in 1854.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter lays be-
fore its leaders an excellent cut of the build
ing to be occupied by shoe and leather ex-
hibitors at Philadelphia. The building is 100
feet front and 800 feet long, mainly, con-
structed of wood, though glass and iron are
also used. The facade of the building is two
stories in hight. The interior presents an
open space 256 feet long and 100 feet wide.
About 10000 feet of space have already been
applied for, the exhibitors of sole leather
making the largest demand, 5000 feet. The
number of exhibitors will be about 700. A
fine display is promised by the West, and il
is estimated that the foreign demand fol
space will be 5000 feet.

ARBITRATION in international difficulties
still holds in fashion, and England and
France will probably resort to it to settle
their controversy regarding the Newfound-
land fisheries. When France ceded the is.
land to Great Britain, she retained, OF
thought she did, half the shore for purposes
of fishery. But Great Britain says the claim
is untenable. Hence the controversy.

ONE of the more remarkable features of
our export trade is the steadily increasing
traffic in grain. A decade ago "A per cent. of

and one 21 per cent. from Russia. Odessa

Modern Women.

1t is sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization, that the women OF our times
have degenerated in health and physique,
until they are literally a race of invalids-
pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions
in The persons of the robust, buxom ladies,
characteristic of the sex in days gone by.
BY a very large experience, covering pc
riod Of years, and embracing the treatment
of many thousands of cases of those all
ments peculiar to Women, DIR. Pierce, Of
the Worlds Dispensary, Bnffalo, n. Y, has
perfected, by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, natural specific, which
he does not extol as cure-all. but one
which admirably fulflls singlenes Of
remedy for thoee weaknesses and COM
plants that afflict the women of the
present day. This natural specific COM
pound is called DIR. Pierce's Fav.rite Pre-
scription. The following are among those
diseases in which this wonderful medicine
has worked cures As if by magic, and with
. certainty never before attained by any
medicines Weak back, nervous and general
debility, falling and other displacements of
internal organs, resulting from debility and
lack Of strength in natural supports, inter-
nal fever, congestion, Inflammation, and
liberation, and very many other chronic
diseases incident to women, not proper to
mention here, in which, as veil as in the
cases that have been enumerated, the Fa-
voriie Prescription effects cures-the marvel
Of the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state or condition of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid
that severest of ordeals-ihe consulting Of
family physician. Favorite Prescription
is sold by dealers in medicines generally.

THAT swEDE

The Famous Eisenring. Whose Swedish Lam
Language is Understood by the Indians,
Sent Up for Four Years for Horse Stealing
Last tuesday night Sheriff II. W. Dun
ming, OF Sedgwick county. came up from
Wichita with prisoner destined to four
years servitude in the penitentiary for
horse stealing. The name of the prisoner
has become famous, and nearly everybody
who has read the papers is acquainted with
the history of Andrews Eisenring, who came
to Fort Leavenworth at the same time with
the German girls, and was afterward in the
most singular manner discovered to be
able to converse freely in the Indian tongue
without any previous knowledge of it. He
was subsequently appointed to the position
of government interpreter, which position he
held until recently. Whether he was part
Indian, and had hoodwinked the officers in
to the belief that he was a full-blooded
Swede, or whether his story was true, is yet
a matter Of much conjecture. The fact,
however, of his having shown proclivities
decidedly Indian, in the confscation of
horsefiesh, is evidence strongly in support
of the theory that he had Indian
blood in him. He appropriated the horse
sometime last March at Wichita, and escap-
ed TO Fort Reno, where he was captured,
some weeks aiterward, He will now have
a four years' opportunity to improve his
English.

MUTUAL FRIENDS.
How sweet Willism" Got Tripped Up on
that Letter Business.

tnat Letter bpSluese.
1t seems that a prominent lawyer and
married man of this city. now in Washing
ton, has been counting charming widow
also Of this city, through Sweet William"
the honest, virtuous and innocent sheriff Of
this county. But the matter was discovered,
and "Sweet Williams" domestic happiness
placed in jeopardy. TIE letters were sent
to Billy, and he placed them in drawer
in his office. The widow had kee to this
drawer, but always sent another female to
the sherifi's office for her love letters. The
visits OF the woman to Billy's Office attract
ed the attention OF a certain estimable lady,
and she resolved to capture one of the low
ing missiyes. Accordingly she watched the
woman who carried the letters, and when
she went into the Office, unlocked that pri-
waite drawer and took the letter ont, grab
bed her and made her surrender the letter.
We understand that the letter was neither
adore sed nor signed. The absence of both
address and signature made ii little hot
for William, but il was finally discovered
that some Of the language and photography
OF the letter was very respectable. This, of
course, was conclusive evidence that Billy
wasn't the impetuous lover and writer. But
the widow hasn't got that letter yet. We
cannot state for a fact that "Sweet Will
liam" took advantage of the absence OF his
mutual friend in Washington. 1t may be
that he didn't have an opportunity.
