Friendship.

Friendship has always been deemed
essential to tue happines OF human beings,
and indeed to their very homes for it
would be thought as disgracelul as 1t is
disconsoate to have no friend.
No peculiarly OF condition, nor eeva-
tion oil rank, sets a man above the attIac-
tions and utility Of friendship. Kings
have laid aside their royalties to indulge
IN it, and Alexander would have found u
conquered world kind OF desert with.
out an HcphaeSton. But it is needless OF
enlarge on the eScelcncy and value Of
this blessing. Who Is not ready to ac.
knowledge that friendship is the delight
oiyouth-the pillar of age-thc bloom
dprosperity-the solace of adversity-
the best benetnctor and comforter in this
vale OF tears. But the question is where
IS there friend to be found it will be
allowed that many who wear the name
are worth the title; and that even those
who are sincere in their profession may be
chargeable with intirmities. Yet evenin the
man friendship is not an utopian good,
lie who says all men are liars says it in
us haste, or from heart that Judges OF
'thers by itself He who complains most
are commonly, those the most to be COM
Palned of-for there is real friendship to
DC found on earth.

" Moral Sense"

Herbert Spencer says; 81 believe that

consolidated through all past generations
OF the human race. have been producing
corresponding notifications, which, By
continued transmission onduccumuhion.

which have no appearcnt basis in the

What can this mean! Does the pro.

Inheritance or otherwise, "mOral sense"

might be as good Judge of ri ght or

as mar Of the most brilliant intellect.
1t seems the professor has not been
able to entirely throw off the effects of
early prejudces. This, moral sense" is
presumed to be the principle OF con.
science; and which man in the ages OF
comparative ignorance and barburism
mistook for Il MtOmiHg faculty: and their
definition has descended to us; but like
many other things descended to Us from
the same source--it is purely myth.
To illustrate; let US define anger or re.
sentiment, on the same principle that
conscience is defined.
Anger or resentment; The faculty by
which one decides on the actions Ol an.
other whether they are insulting or not;
the faculty which decides op the motives
of action in one person towards another.
THIS is Just Us proper definition for
anger, or resentment, a5 is the definition

tionaries. Conscience is no more know.
ing faculty than anger: all perceptions of
night or wrong--justice or injustice are
purely intellectual. Anger and con.
science, are both emotions, responsive
only to intcllectu al perceptions, the same
as pity or admiration conscience is but
an emotion, involrntarily responsive to
the intellectual PERCEPTION of right and
wrong and prompts the individual 10 do
the right in preference to the wrong,
The great misfortune of many of the
brightest intellects of the age, who have
tue most keen and approaching perccp.
tions Of right and wrong-justice and
injustice is, that they have inherited so
little of the emotion OF conscience that it
does not respond to their intellectual
perceptions sufficiently strong to cause
them to act honestly. And it is the mis-.
fortune of our country to day that the
government is mostly, or at least, largely,
in the hAuds of this class OF men hence
the stealing. Mr.. Editor, what is con-

Rccsuessness win Rifles.
New York sun


Two brothers named Watson have
been giving remarkable exhibitions
of fool hardness and skill in Tony
Pastors Theater. They are billed as
"noted Western scouts and sharp
shooters and have the look OF
frontiersmen. They began by dis
playing rifles, and shooting bullets
through blocks of wood, to prove
that the ammunition and missilesare
genuine. On both sides Of the stage,
] close to the front, thick wooden pads
are placed, for the bullets to Iodgein.
At the beginning OF the display OF
craftsmanship, one man holds IN
apple in his fingers, and the other
shoots q ball through it from across
the stage; and next the man who has
risked his fingers becomes the shooter
i'm repetition of the feat. Each IN
turn hits the bulls eye Of target ten
times without miss, the bulls eye
being just above the head Of the
brother who holds the apple. A po-
tato is placed on ones head and shot
of by the other, the potato being
split to pieces and the bullet entering
the pad in front Of which the holder
stands. This feat is repeated many
times, the brothers changing att
tudes and holding the rifle in posi-
tion seemingly awkward enough to
Increase the peril. he brothers
wheel quickly and shoot potatoes
simultaneously off each others heads.
n Yesterday one Of the potatoes WAS
barely grazed, but second trial was
successftl. A candle was snufied
with bullet; aud, as elimination,
one held lighted cig2r in his mouth
and the other shot off the ashes, the
Instance being the entire width Of the
stage.
The brothers, who profess to have
acquired their skiii by long practice
on the plains, use breeclt-loading
rifles, and handle them with wonder
full quickness. The younger seems
10 be the best marksman at least he
fires quickest after getting his weap.

The older sometimes misses.

The Government corners 10 much
of the land in Iowa are being des-
troyed or obiiterated. This is Sc
rious matter. The Government GER
ners should be preserved aud perpet-
uated at great sacrifice. 1t will save
trouble, expense and litigation
Owners and road supervisors fire.
quently treat them as triiiing mat
tiers. But who cannot bring to menu
DRY the trouble and harass;ng law
suits among neighbors and even in
almost every neighborlood. where
the land marks have been destroyed
or permitted to perish. There should
be more stringent legislation on this
subject. AS an evidenee OF the cost,
even when it is done peaceahly, one
instance, that Of a case in Howard
county, Iowa, where the county SUR
veyor says he had tosurvey ten days
before he was able to see one corner
of section. The nearest established
corner was five and a half miles OFT
And all this growing out Of the care
Iessness of land owners and road sa-
pervi5ors. We have known road SUI
pervisors to order Government cor
ners pIowed down as though they
were mole hills. When Government
corners are gone, and there are none
to guide the surveyor, he has to hunt
until he finds one, or divide the
township anew. In which case own
ers of land do not find their property
where they supposed it was. II a
farmer wishes to retain exactly the
land he has i'm proved, he SHAH pre-
serve and protect the Government
landmarks as the apple Of his eye
Trouble is rapidly brewing in Iowa
from this source alone, sufficient to
support an army of lawyers and he
who would notcontribute largely 10
their support and who desires MOTTO
die with hard feelings against his
neighbors must preserve and perpe-
trate the original landmarks.
The laws Of Iowa are deficient rel
tive to landmarks, but as ii pro.
vides for proving the locality Of
corners by witnesses, every man who
has yet a plain governmet corner,
should plant IA manument there in
presence of all the neighbors, and cs-
pecially the younger ones old enough
to remember. And the names OF
these witnesses should be filed with
the valuable papers Of the owner OF
the land. The monument should he
something not easily moved and un-
der it should be placed broken brick
or pieces Of crockeTy, all Of which
should be noted along with the list
of witnesses. And if a compass can
be had, witnesses to the corner or
monument should be established by
planting broken crockery or broken
brick deep in the earth in certain di-
rection and noted distance, and re-
cord kept of the same.
There was much notch surveying
done by the Government surveyors,
and when the corners are lost il will
be impossible for lands to he divided
ms they originally were, unless the
corners are perpetuated. We hope
farmers will awake to this subject
while If can be done
