Two years had elapsed during which
no intelligence had been heard of John

rectory were aroused by the deep, melan-

THE famine in India is proving so ex-
tremely disastrous that English statesmen are
busily looking round for means to prevent the
possibility of its future repetition. Over
s32,000,00o have already been spent by the
Indian Government in the effort to relieve
the famine-stricken inhabitants Of the periin-
sula, and the end is not yet. The truth ap-
pears to be that the famine is no worse than
numbers which have occurred before; but as
the country is becoming better known to the
public, more notice is taken of the unfortu-
nate condition of the inhabitants. Before
the English occupation of India famlnes were
of exceedingly frequent occurrence, but the
country was so little known that thousands
might perish and never be missed. 1t is for.
tunate for the natives That they have rich
government to aid them, since otherwise
there would be no succor whatever. As it is
between one and two millions of natives are
now engaged at relief work provided by the
govrnment, while thousands of others re-
ceive daily rations gratultousy distributed.

A Defense Of Boarding House Mis-
frQSSnS.

Nobody who knows anything about it can
have any other feeling than compassion for the
ordinary keeper of a private boarding house.
She has been the prey of small satirists since
clearinghouse and small satirists we're. II
has been customary to represent her as a will
ing and skillful adulterator of yictuals and
drink skinfint and a sharper In noInt of
fact, she is generally an Intelligent and sepsi-
tive woman. who has chosen this mode of
earning her living partly because it is the only
one for whlch her habits life have at ali fitted
ner, ana partly because she has fancied that it
would do less violence to her sensIbllltes than
any otner business open to her. The boarding.
mouse keeper Is commonly a widow, aud her
condition is testimony in the first place, to
male improvideuce. 1t entities her 10 the con-
sderation of all men, and that consideration is
by all decent men cheerfully given to her. If
all boarders were decent persons, her lot would
be much easier than it is Instead of being the
most crafty, she is usually the most guiieless of
women. There is scarcely a boarding-house
keeper who has not been made the victim of
swlnd ers of ali kinds, froIn the swindler who
merely omlts to pay his board, and whom she
is TOO compassionate to turn out at his first fail
ure, to the swlnder who engages board for the
purpose OF robbing the house. 1t Is high time
that these hard working and long suffering
women should receive the commiseratioa and
respect to which they are entitled, instead of
the sneers aud suspicious they oftener encoun-
ter Not one woman out of Thousand who keep
boardlug-houses derives from her business NOR
than bare subsistence, and it is lnhuman auo
indecent to grudge her that Whatever the
price of board in ordinary boardipg-housss may
be, we may be quite sure that II IS Justined and
compelled by the prices the boarding-house
keeper has to pay.

A writer in the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
speaking of stage-struck heroes, years ago
says that Nathaniel P. Banks was once smitteu
with the glories of stage renown, and played
Claude Melnotte and other lea1ing parts at the
first national for a week. He was about
equally imbued with political ardor, and at
that time told a young comp panion, ~ am de-
termined to be either great actor or a great
statesman" Rev. E. 81. Chaplin also once be-
longed to dramatic society in Boston.
He sat alone in her fathers parlor, waiting
for the fair ones appearance, the other evening
when her little brother came cautiously into
the room, and gliding up to the young mans side
held out handful of something aud earnestly
inquired, 81 say, Mister, what're them?''
"fhose?' responded the young man, solemnly
taking up one in his fingers, "those are BEANS"
"rhere?' shouted the boy, turning to his sister
who was just coming in, 81 knew you lied"

Mile. Albani has great success in Paris, even
greater than in London. There is an unneces-

afterward removed to Albany and became con-

Catholic) church, where her voice first attracted
attention, and whence she went abroad to

whom Bishop Conroy was prominent. She

A NEW wrinkle in the Democratic pro-
gramme is made necessary by the exclusion
of evidence going back of the action of the
proper state authorities. The plan regarding
Louisiana is to contest the legality Of the
returning board itself, on the ground that the
law requires five members, whereas but four
acted. 1t will be claimed that in consequence
there was no lawful canvass of the vote of the
state and, therefore, no election of electors.
The object sought is to throw into the House
the election of President. 1t will be remem-
bered that the vacant position in the return
ing board was rendered to several Democrats
all of whom declined to accept, and the board
finally proceeded with but four members,

THE Republicans contend that the consti-
tuition makes each state the final authority in
determining the choice of its electors, and
that there is no power in Congress to 90 be-
hind the certificate of the state. But they
take this ground because it is the true con.
stitutional position and not because they
would be unwilling to enter upon scrutiny
of the election. They believe that the case
of Gov. Hayes is as strong in equity as in
law and that any just examination behind
the returns would give the same result as
appears upon their face.

PROMINENT citizens of New York, in view
of the astonishing temptations with which
the Office of Coroner of that city is hedged
about, are trying to do away with the position
altogether. 1t is SAID that the legitimate fees
of the Office have amounted to $4,000 in a
single year, and that, in addition, brbes of as
high as $4,000 have been approximately
offered for the suppression of the facts in
cases where person of eminent family con-
nection has committed suicide, or met his
death from other causes usually considered
disgraceful

OF Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Mary
Cemmer stoutly says: 81 like Susan. Her
jaw has the resolute grip it would naturally get
in life long tussle to have its own way. Her
eyes are large, round and gray, and look straight
at you She has no end of common sense and
lots OF keen wit, no sentiment, and little cul-
ture In the aesthetic sense. But she is as affec-
tiouate snd as supplemented as child; a
brave, noble womau, who has given her whole
life to her highest convictions, and in battling
for the equality that she does she is simply true
to the traditions of her Quaker birth and edu-
cation. 1 like to look upon her at safe and
silent distance, where she cannot turn and rend
me for my silence on the cause"

tifcate of election or not, the whole people,

tlemanly and dignified bearing from the open

He has done nothing himself and has allowed
no one to do anything for him indelicate or
unbeceming 1t is different with Tilden.
He not only sent out emissaries to secure
delegates to make him candidate, but after
his nomination became the chief manipulation
OF his own canvass. And since the election,
his nephew and confidential clerk has been
scattering money broadcast to bribe electors
to defeat the popular will. This is the differ

to the contrary. Massachusetts is tar from
being exhausted as an agricultural State.

an aggregate value Of $1S2, ,664,1 ,14O. 1t has
has seventy thousand adults engaged in farm

stamps at IA big commission in fact
there is nothing equal to it now sewing
machines are SO cheap, and so many
life insurance companies have barsted,

that is attended with risk-but if post

salary allowed them, they had better

At court held September 3, at the
school house in district No. A, between
John Shores, Sr., and his son, C. A. j.
Shores, there was disgraceful row,
principally between the James boys and
Wesley Emerson. Complaint being en-
tered to the Grand Juror at the last
term of county court, bill was found
against Jabish James for striking En-
erson, and he was placed under 800
bonds to appear at the next term of
county court.
Quite an extensive and systematic
business has been carried on in apple
stealing. Parties were discovered and
caught by C. A. j. Shores in his orchard
Saturday night, Sept. %, and they set
tied by paying IS each to Shores.
An indictment has been found against
six young men of our community for
disturbing the peace (serenading,) at
the house of VIM. James, one night last
summer.

strained hOney-instead of 80 lbs., as
reported. The entire mass of honey
