The Law of New.paper..

/. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary are considered as wishing to
continue their subscriptions.
2 nany subscribers order the discontinuance
Of their newspapers, the publisher may con-
tinue TO send them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Offices to which they are
directed, the law holds them responsible until
they have settled the bills, and ordered them
discontinued.
4. II subscribers remove to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the newspa-

s. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie

The PREACHER ARISTOCRAT.-Henr
Ward Beecher is reported to have used
the following and lot more of similar
language in his sermon the other Sum
day, in relation to the labor strikes:
If a man would insist on drinking
beer and smoking, is not one dollar a
day enough to buy bread? Water costs
nothing. The man who cannot live on
bread and water is not fit to live. When
a man is educated away from the power
of self-denial he is falsely educated. A
family may live on good bread and
water in the morning, and bread at
midday, and good bread and water at
night. Laughter. Such may be called
the bread of affiiction, but it is fit that
man should eat the bread of affiiction.
We have always stuck to and sworn
by Beecher in all his trials and affiic-
tiOns, but if it is true that he used the
language aseribed to him, that lets us
out. 1t would take much less evidence
than ever before to convince us of his
guilt of every charge made against him,
because the man so heartless as to give
utterance to such sentiments is depraved
enough for anything.
twenty-five Thousand dollars a year
for preaching to aristocrats has done its
work on Beecher, and the poor of the
land dOn't want any more gospel from
him.

rage. The two crimes deserve the same
punishment.
In Winchendon, lately, young man
who said be was clerk in a store, went
to farmhouse ''to hire girl" The
farmer had a daughter of fourteen
whom they could spare, and whose
wages would help the family living.
She was TO try the place and return on
Saturday, TO let her father know. But
she was taken to the fields, kept all
night, and left next day In town where
she was a stranger. The case came to
trial. The lawyers for the villain tried
to make 1t appear that this innocent
child of farmhouse was "no better
than she should be-" and altogether it
seemed so trifiing a matter that a COM
paratively short imprisonment was all
that was inflicted for this gravest aud
grossest of all crimes. 1t was not strange,
therefore, that, in the same town, a lit
tie girl of six years was lately outraged,
and the criminal was excused altogether,
under the pretence that the straight
forward story of the child was a case of
ack-mailing. Still less is it strange
that this crime is lightly punished,
when Governor Rice, within a year,
pardoned from our State prison a man
confined there for committing rape.
But our cities are full of orphans and
friendless girls, whom the "hard times''
have driven here in the hope of finding
something to do. Young, ignorant, in
nocent, in the strange Babel of the city
smile and kind word win on the
lonely girl, who accepts the invitation
to walk or ride, without a suspicion
that it is to her ruin. This crime stands
out in the list of crimes without fell
low, overlapping in horror every other.
Think of young girl, your own daugh-
ter, alone in the fields at night with the
wild beast who has decoyed her there
Burglary and arson are small crimes in
comparison. Murder even does not in
fiict the long misery and agony of such
night, nor the despair that follows in
all the after days.
1t remains for women to correct the
! public sense, in regard to this crime
against their sex. Women who cannot
cast vote to put out of office the gov
ernors who pardon men guilty of the
crime of rape, or to elect one who will
not do it, women who are neither judges
nor even jurors in such cases, or any
other, women who are denied all right
to help make or execute laws, can yet
create public sentiment that will go
far to support justice, and to punish
crime as it deserves. The case of Isaac
Sawtelle, Jr., must be watched. His
crime ranks really with that of murder,
and ne should be sentenced accordingly.
1t is a comfort to record that Governor
Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, when the
mother of E. NJ. Vance asked for her
sons pardon, after his sentence to the
penitentiary for the commission of a
revolving and unnatural crime, and
when the Board of Pardons" had rec
commended the pardon, informed her
that so long as he was in Office, he would
not grant pardon to the criminal.
The instances here reported are only
few of many similar ones which crowd
our daily papers, and which show the
need of redeemed public sentiment in
regard to this great crime.-LUcy Stone.

The SLBEPING-RooM. - Air every
sleeping-rOOm thoroughly every morn
ing, and, if possible, let in the sun to
shine on the beds and bed-clothes. Of
ten at night when the heat is well-nigh
unbearable, wet cloth hung in the
window over the blind will cool the
room as if a shower had fallen, and
every one knows how water poured on
the pavement in front of the door will
freshen the hot, dry air. This princi-
pie of the reduction of temperature by
evaporation is capable of much practi-
cal application. In India, and other
tropical countries, where ice is almost
unknown, the natives cool their drink
ing water by suspending earthen jars
filled with it in a brisk current of air,
which process is said to cool it thor
oughly and rapidly. So, also, when ice
is unattainable, butter may be kept
firm and sweet by setting the bowl con-
tanning it in shallow vessel of water,
covering with a napkin, the ends of
which are well immersed in the water
in the bottom dish. A wet handker-
chief or sponge worn in the hat when
exposed to the sun, as in the harvest
field, will prevent sunstroke under the
most intense heat known to our climate,
and will often relieve headache arising
from heat and exhaustion, combined.

LOSS OF CATTLE.

An article in the Denver Tribune quotea
from the Omaha correspondent of the Chi
eago Tribune goes to an extreme in placing
the loss of cattle at one percent. in tho
State. We have had an extraordinary hare
winter and for thirty days there was little il
any feed for stock to subsist upon and the
actual loss among cattle will not fall short
of 5 per cent, up to the present time; and
the condition in which the cattle are left, to-
gether with the fact that they have yet to
go through the worst months inthe year.
1t would be safe to say that there will be
an average loss of Is per e in the State.
The prospects are that the grass will start
early this year, if it does there will be con-
siderable loss among weak cattle by scour-
ing. We make this statement because we
know it is the. opinion OF the best and most
observant cattle men in the State, and we
think it is poor policy for our State press to
disguise the truth.-Colorado Farmer.
