Cooperation in Great Britain.

Cooperation, in it's more particular
Sence, refers to the combination or
union Of number of people, either to
supply themselves with certain staple
articles of consumption, or TO manu-
facture some article that may be sold
for their mutual benefit. When it ha-
to do with selling GOALS, provisions,
and other goods, it is called ':distribu-
tive cooperation" The other kind of
cooperation, the union for work, is
called reproductive cooperation The
aim of both distributive and produc-
tive cooperation is primarily to benfit
the cooperation in a financial sense );
bat it must be noticed that the origi-
nal aim Of distributive cooperation
was not SO much to buy and sell teas
and sugars at a profit as to get good
teas and pure sugars. If the British
shopman resents the advent and prog
ress OF the cooperative movement if
he complains that it is stealing his
trade, and bringing ruin to his door. he
has himself much to blame. Distribu-
tive cooperation began as natural
protest against his sanded sugars and
painted teas, his demoralizing s'gra-
tuities,' and his ruinOus system Of
credits
He had sought to win two profits !;
and the poor. buyers, the fannel-weav-
Ell of Rochdale, the London post-ottice
clerk, rose in rebellion, and bought
their own teas. The city man tucked
his single chest under the back stairs
of the general pOst-office and dOled out
the tea ''after hours.'' The poor
weavers of Toad Lane made the place
famous with their wheel-barrow load
of groceries: To-day the carriage Of
my lord OF the army or navy drives up
to a palace, and his lOrdship actually
buys his own wines and cigars at the
army and navy or civil service stores ;
and every mechanic, miner, and labor
er in the kingdom know the way to the
nearest cooperative store in his town
or village. The British shopman de-
claims loudly and bitterly against the
co operative store, and, at the same
time he adopts it's healthy cash pay
ments and sensible methods of doing
business. Distributive cooperation
began that the house-mother might
have pure tea, that the father might
wear good shoes and that the children
might have sweet milk and bread.
To-day, it accomplishes this and more.
1t seeks to elevate, and educate it
opens readingsroomss and libraries,
gives lectures in the arts and sciences;
it organizes excursions for children
it has it's social conferences and it's
congresses, and, withal, it makes
money. o..

Immediately suffocated.'" After a day
at the falls, the party pursued their
journey down the Canadian bank, and,
embarking at Niagara, went to Mon
treal by water, which they reached in
six days, having experienced on the
way many discomforts and some perils.
Ito have accomplished SO arduous
an undertaking afforded us no small
satisfaction. Mr.. Bigelow writes,
''but it would not be easy to persuade
any of US to repeat this part Of our ex-
cursion.' Montreal, they were told
by gentleman who had travelled in
France, was ''the exact representation
of a French village. It's appearance
was novel to most Of us on account of
it's antiquity. The houses are general
ly small and few in number. The
windows are small and few in number.
The entrance is sometimes through a
court. which is walled against the
street, so that you cannot see the house
door as you pass. The general ap-
pearance of the town, therefore. at
first is gloomy. Many of the roofs here
are covered with timed plates. They
look very well, and are said to be proof
against the weather. A stranger is
much at loss in Montreal to know
where stores and shops of any kind are
kept. There are but few signs to be
seen, and there is no display of wares
in the windows, nor is it easy to dis
cover any difference in the form or ex-
terror appearances between stores and
dwelling houses" The party spent
four or five days in Montreal, very
much to their satisfaction and on
leaving were ''surprised to find that
| our bill for five days entertainment,
including calash hire, washing, etc.,
amounted to but about IS each.''
American travellers in Canada in our
time are not surprised in that way.
There was little familiar social in.

English, but a still greater one to the
people of the United States, all of

travellers returned home by way OF
Rouse's Point, Lake Champlain, and
Burlington, after an absence of just six
weeks. "Thus terminated,' says MI

The Last Chicago Murder Trial.

The trial of Alexander Sullivan for
the murd:r of Francis Hanford in
Chicago, bids fair to take it's place as
one Of the most interesting cases of
the day. The first trial ended on the
25th and the jury was out nearly two
days, they then came into court and
sJudge McAllister that they
we're unable to agree and asked to be
discharged. With this request the
court complied. 1t is understood
that the jury stood II for acquittal
and one for conviction on the charge.
There is much discussion in the city
about the alleged partisan course Of
Judge McAllister during the entire
trial and especially in his instructions
to the jury. Prosecuting Attorney
Reed has openly intimated in court his
opinion of the rulings, and the feeling
issso stroug in town that several petit

After arguments by counsel for de-

McAllister admitted Sullivan to bail on

in Offering an asylum to people OF every race,
securing civil and religious liberty to all

individual alike justice and equality before

to offer our humble prayers to the Father Of

"By reason of all these considerations L,

United States to devote the 30th day Of No

The Military in South Carolina.
Captain Lloyd, of the 18th Infantry,
u. A., who was ordered to the scene OF dis
turbance near Aiken, s. c., makes report to
the army headquarters regarding his investi-
cations. On his arrival at Rouse's Bridge,
Captain Lloyd states he found body OF 800
mounted men, under the command of A. P.
Butler, who had thrown out skirmish lines
surrounding the negroes, and adds: "There
was undoubted evidence of well.digested
plan, which, if carried out, would have re-
suited in the slaughter of nearly all the ne
groes in the place. The presence of troops
brought about an agreement by which both
armed whites and negroes disbanded. On
the march from Rouse's Bridge to Ellenton
the bodies of negroes who had been killed
were found, and information was received
| that five others had also been killed. The ne
groes were completely cowed, and afraid to
leave their hiding places in the woods and
return to work, from fear of being shot down
in the cotton fields. A detachment sent
| down the Barnwell road met body of twenty
or thirty whites, who stated that they were a
detachment OF General Hayward s command,
under orders from Judge Virgins to disarm
and arrest the negroes, and also to protect a
party of negroes while burying colored
member OF the legislature who had been shot
near Ellentown."

To be Preserved.

The main exhibition building, at
the Centennial, is to be preserved. The COM
mission held a meeting on the 23d, as to
whether the main building should be per-
mitted to remain permanently in its position.
After discussion resolution was adopted ar-
thorizing an association of citizens to take
possession OF the main building and employ
it for the purpose of a permanent exhibition.
Much satisfaction is felt at this final decision
to retain the building on the ground.

The Grasshopper Convention.

The convention of the Western gov.
ernors, held at Omaha recently, to consult
upon the grasshopper problem and the
means for their destruction, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
First-that it will be wise and polite Tor
the legislatures OF the States and Territories
most deeply interested to enact a law Offering
bounty per bushel for the collection and de-
struction of eggs and unfledged insects.
Second-That the several legislatures ar-
thorize local taxation for the purpose OF sys-
.temizeS efforts in the way OF ditching, burn
ing, etc. also suggest the repeal OF the game
laws, or q modification of them, so as to pre-
vent the destruction of birds which feed on
insects; the prevention Of prairie fires until a
suitable time for the destruction OF young
grasshoppers by firing the grass encourage
ment of tree culture, promoting moisture and
harboring birds.
Third Recommending as far as possible a
survey be made OF each State during the
coming winter, to ascertain those portions of
each county in which eggs are most thickly
laid.
F,1rther-That they deem it the duty OF the
national government to make some effort to
destroy or counteract the great pest, and
thus prevent its injuries. They recommend
the attachment of special commission to
one OF the government surveys sent annually
tor the purpose OF paying the expense Of the
commission.
1t is ascertained that the grasshoppers
haven't done the amount of damage imagined,
and that they can be encountered aud exter-
minated with much less labor and difficulty
than heretofore supposed by united, concen-
trated efforts at the proper time, and he fears
need be entertained as to serious results the

were requested to transmit to their respective
delegations record OF the proceedings of the
convention, and request them to urge on Con.
gress speedy action in this matter. The pres
ident of the convention was requested tc
draw up and present to the President Of the
United States letter setting forth the urgent
necessity OF action by the general government
in behalf of the sections ravaged.

Cooling off in the European War Feeling.
Since the publication of our, last Eu-
ropean complications have assumed a differ
ent aspect Russia has offered Turkey an Ill
timatum which Germany endorsed, and Tur-
key has signifed a willingness to accept it's
terms. The first condition is six weeks
armistice. Meanwhile fighting continued be-
tween the opposing forces OF Turkey and
Servia, with results greatly in favor Of the
former. There is great suffering ia Servia,
threatening starvation. A financial crisis is
impending in Russia and Austria. Altogether
the prospects of an immediate war are greatly
lessened, and it seems to be most generally
regarded as probable that in case of war Rus
STA and Turkey will do the fighting.

Audible Speech Conveyed Two Miles by Tel
egraph.

The Boston Advertiser of Oct. 10 it
prints an interesting account of an ex-
pertinent in carrying on q conversa-
ton by word Of mouth over tele-
graph-wire, made on the evening of
9th inst. by Alexander Graham Bell
and Thomas Watson. Telephones were
placed at either end of telegraph
line owned by the WalWorth Mandfac-
turing Company, extending from their
office in Boston to their factory in
Cambridgeport, distance of about two
miles. The Company's battery, con-
sisting of nine Daniels cells, were re-
moved from the circuit, and another
of ten carbon elements substituted.
Articulate conversation then took
place through the wire. The sounds,
first faint and indistinct, became sud-
denly quite loud and Ineligible. Mr..
Bell in Boston and Mr.. Watson in Cam
bridgeport took notes of what was said
and heard, and the comparison of the
two records show that the transmits
sion was almost perfectly accurate.
Conversation was carried on for about
half an hour, generally in ordinary
tone of voice, but often in whisper.
The credit of this important discovery
is due to Mr.. Bell.

An exchange gives the following d.
rection concerning the best method of
stopping bleeding of the nose There
are many remedies recommended, such
as putting a large key down the pa
TENTS back, and SO On, but the most
etfectual, based upon scientific princi-
pies, is SO effectual as to be infallible.
The entire blood supply of the face
comes from two little arteries. each
supplying one side of the face, and
each passes over the outside of the
jawbone, about two-thirds Of the way
back from the chin to the angle of the
jaw under the ear. These arteries can
be found by the finger, and in case of
bleeding at the nose can be pressed
against the jaWbone, thus stopping the
flow Of blood from the nostrils. One
Of the arteries supplies the right nos
tril, and the other the left. It can
therefore be easily determined on
which side to apply the pressure,
which should be continued long enough
to allow Of contraction in the finer ar
teries of the nose.''

A Sensation Promised in Georgia

Governor Smith, Of Georgia, lately
submitted to the Attorney General of the State
the question of the constitutionality OF Attor-
ney General Tatt's order and the enforcement
act, which the State attorney believes uncon-
stitutional and has so decided. It is now said
that the Governor Will instruct the Georgia
militia to obey no orders except from its own
commissioned officers, and will relieve any
citizen OF Georgia from becoming part of a
posse when called upon by q United States
deputy marshal.

4 Rogue WHO Would Not Have His Picture
Taken.

From the Troy {N. ~ Times.
Some further "reminiscences have
come out of the eminent house-thief,

Thursday night. Dennis would never,
when arrested, permit the police
photographer to take his carte de visite
for the rogues' album. Several at

Dennis always fought desperately.

victory, as by dint of straps and cords
and three men holding him by the
limbs. ears, and hair, a very remark

lures drawn up and distorted, but
bearing no resemblance, was obtained.

police force could obtain his portrait,

The Cincinnati Commercial has dis.
covered and published Gen. Phil. Ker-
ney's last letter. 1t was written on
the second day of the second battle of
Bull Run, during lull in the battle,
and was addressed to the Baron Won
Steinwher. Its purpose was to ex-
plain and apologize for certain ex-
pressions which X arney had uttered,
and which he feared might be miscon-
strued. The letter shows frankness
and sincerity of spirit which are in
every way credible to the author.
while the solicitude manifested by
him at such time on such subject
is a curious revelation of his fine sense
of honor.

y large number of Methodist min

Southern and Northern branches of the
church, held three meetings in Louisville,

nation than have prevailed since 1874. In
that year, during the session Of the national
conference at the Methodist Episcopal church
in Louisville, differences that grew partly
out of the slavery question caused division
ofthe Methodist church into two branches
which, during the war, became known as the
Northern and Southern Two years ago the
conference of the Southern branch, while in
session at Louisville, took steps looking to
church union. Nothing was definitely ac-
compished. This year at Baltimore the
Northern branch also endeavored to bring
about positive understanding OF feeling be-
tween the two divisions, and now so far as a
union in sentiment of purpose and brotherly
love are concerned, the two churches are in
Union. At the meeting in Louisville, repre-
sentatives Tor the Northern and Southern di-
visions, including Bishop Foster, of Massa-
chusetts, and Bishop Kavanagh, of Kentu ky,
delivered addresses thanking God that the
aforesaid union has been brought about after
thirty-two years of separation of the largest
ecclesiastical denomination in the United
States.

their camps further from the agency, and
evidently communicating with and receiving
hostiles who came in. l am glad to report
complete success, and that it was accomplish

supervision the movement was conducted,
and to Major Gordon, of the Fifth cavalry,
and Captain Mauck, OF the Fourth cavalry,
who commanded the battalions. had sat
istactory council with Spotted Tail, and am
satisfied that he is the only important leader
who has the nerve to be our friend, and have
therefore put him in charge as head chief of
all. The line of the hostiles and the peacably
disposed is now plainly drawn, and we shall
