The Chisholm Family.

Mrs. G. Chisholm, of De Kalb
Miss, has written letter to friend
in Washington, in which she says
L intend, if I can 90 from here, tc
take with me the remains of my hus-
band, daughter and little son, if the
North will find me room for the most
faithful citizen Of this country and his
most devoted children She also
says that Mr.. Rush, whose assumed
connection with the murder was the
pretext for the attack on Chisholm, has
sent her affidavit, made by about thir-
ty men, that he was in RuSselville,
Ark, on the Goth of April, the day OF
Gully's death. She closes by saying :
''My husband was ever the friend OF
liberty for all never making distinc-
ton in regard to color. For this he
has often been abused, and often, be-
fore this final consummation, had his
dear life hung by a hair. The vile
murder Of his children and friends was
purely political.

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-Rev Da-
vid Swing never wrote any thing more
beautiful or truthful than the follow
ing:
.'Humnn creeds, whether they are
drawn up by old Catholics or old Prot
estauts, must at once be put out to usu.
~, that they may gather IN more wis
dom in the great market-place of action
and thought. To make them Of hard
iron and then stand guard over the
lump, is to be an enemy of God and
man, for the true wealth of Augustine
or Calvin or Bossaet is to be put out
at interest upon the world, to absorb
new riches just as the rock catches
soil from rain and sun and wind, and
produces each year heavier lichens on
its once naked breast. A stationary
creed is out of tune with nature. 1t is
like standing water, quick to lose its
life and clearness and to become sickly
to the homes on its shore. As the sea
always shakes itself and thus rolls in
perfect freshness through all ages, so
the conclusions of any time in politics
or customs or religion must be tossed
about by all the new days of thought,
and be kept sweet for all dwellers
upon their coasts. A religious creed,
therefore, drawn up by men must not
be stationary water, but a flowing
stream, growing wider as it runs

POPULARITY OF THE New LOAN.
-Advices from Washington say the
popular subscriptions to the new loan
are being made with. greater rapidity
than was anticipated by the Secretary
of the Treasury. At the outset, he
estimated that SO, 100000 would
be taken in that way, but he now
thinks the total will cosiderably ex-
ceed that sum, and may go to $40
100000 or even higher. 1t is proba-
bic that the orders on tho last few days
of the thirty during which the bonds
are offered for sale at par, viii be
greater than those for all the rest of
the time. It naturally takes little
time for the merits Of the loan to be-
come fully appreciated. The advan-
tages of investing idle funds in the
new bonds will scarcely DO fully got
before the public by advertisements
and newspaper articles until the thirty
day limit has nearly expired.

Brother Ginty Of the Chippewa
Herald in his ''Out of the Current
asks:
"Did you ever find lying in some
neglected spot, buried among the grass
perhaps, some old tool, which you re-
men Der sharp and bright and useful ?
To which we respond "You'r
just whistling" Bro. Ginty. Or
rather our good mother found tive
were afraid she would, and We remem-
ber very distinctly how we thought we
bad been sitting down on yaller jack
cts nest and how we sharpened up
that cold tool" among the cabbagea
till it shone like the "dollar of our
daddy and we wished it wer'nt so
'suseful." Excuse US Bro. Ginty for
divesting the beautiful sentiment Of its
poetry your revival of old memories
compels US.

JUDGE HAYDEN, of Grand Rapids,
who, by the way, delivered a very
effective Democratic speech in this
place last fall, received the nomination
!. Attorney General upon the Green
back Ticket. The Judge is yet a
young man, and one ofunusual ability,
and we dislike to see HIM identify
himself with a party which is certain
of defeat. He has been Republican,

you choose-in his day and we fear he
has changed his coat at least once too
often. -TapIor County Ne,cs.

We copy the following from the
Berlin Courad:
WoOD Co ITEMS.
Editor Berlin CoURANr:
1t may be Of interest to some of your
readers to know that there is a coun-
ty in this state that only reaches to
town twenty six, north, and may
therefore be said to occupy position
in the center of the state. 1t is true
that large portion Of our county is
marshy, but it is not a waste, as thou
sands of bushels if cranberries are
raised thereon every year, berries that
in quality are second to none in the
state, they are not so large but are
frmer and consequently heavier than
the Berlin berry.
Notwithstanding the large tract Of
marsh we have there is still over half
of the county that Is good timbcred
farming land land that is not clay
but a fine loan that has produced as
fine Eastwood, maple. elm, black and
white ash, oak, etc. as you wish to see.
Our crops are the very best, no pale
sickly grain but that Of dark green
color. We have as good land for rails
ing potatoes. turnjps &c. as you can
find, the grasses and all kinds of grain
except wheat grow to perfection,
Wheat as yet has not been very sue
cessful owing probably to the fact that
We have no limestone in the land.
All of the water is soft So you see
that the business on washing days
passes of like a wedding-to the salts
faction Of all parties.
Our taxes are not very heavy. |
think no heavier than in other places
of like improvements in the state.
We have just bought S140,000.00 Of
our $500, 100000 railroad bonded in
debtedness at 80 cents on the dollar.
This land is owned by the county and
spectators and can be bought at prices
ranging from $40 to 500 per forty
acres according to whom you buy of.
Our cranberry crop for this year prom
Uses Co be very good.

RECENT DISPATCHES from the seat
of war in the East, confirm the fact
that England intends to take a hand
in the fight now being prosecuted by
Russia against the Turks, giving the
Turk the benefit Of her sympathies
backed by the most powerful naval ar
mazda afoat. A war sentiment has
been growing in England since the
first operations of the Russians, which
has became almost unanimous among
the British ruling classes. The recent
sending Of an English feet to Beslka
Bay meets with but little, if any OPP
position among the hitherto peace men
and the intelligence that England has
actually put her foot in it, to use a
vulgar phrase, may be confirmed at any
moment. England is in sympathy
with Turkey because her fnancies de-
mand that her sympathies should be so
directed, and because series of Rus
sian success would materially jeopardize
her commercial and industrial interests
in the East. A slig hit pretext will be
sufficient to embroil England in the
great conflict, and then there will be
either most sanguinary war, or a
speedy peace. In the meantime Uncle
Samuel looks on oomplacently and
points to the rich harvests of the west
which must speedily bring to our doors
the bullion of bleeding Europe.

WE CANNOT sanction the action OF
the Mississippi Republicans in disband-
ing the party in that state. The &C
ton Of the committee is the fruit of
the pacific policy Of the administra-
ton, a policy which naturally compells
the weaker to succumb to the more
powerful. Intelligence, patriotism,
political integrity, honor and respect
for law and the rights of all men IN
der the law, have no weight against
the rufianism of a dominant party in
which inheres all that is antipodal to
the excellences mentioned. In view
Of these facts the Republican organiza-
ton of Mississippi is broken up, and
the state has virtually been turned over
to the tender mercies of an enemy
whose record is written in the blood of
its victims. Amid all the discourage
ments incident to condition Of things
such as has been brought about by a
surrender to the enemy by the repre-
sentative head of the party through
which has come all that has made US
great as a nation, the organization Of
the party should have been, if posi-
Bile, made more complete. A nucleus
should have been preserved around
which men who love liberty and hate
usurpation, might rally for decisive
action in the future.
The committee before disbanding
the party issued the following address
in justification of their action, claim
ing that the Republican majority of
the state is rendered ''nugatory by
fraud, intimidation and violence; - Tt
looks as though backbone was wanting
among those who represent 10000
Republican majority in the state of
Mississippi and the very tender words
of the address substantially confirm
our conjectures.
The committee says:
eve have confidence in the wisdom
of President Hayes, and paralyzed and
powerless as we are, we profoundly re-
greet any effort from any quarter to
weaken his arm. or which might tend
in the slightest degree to render I'M
successful the high experiment in
craftsmanship which he is now making.
To obliterate the color-line in politics,
to enforce the laws by the civil power.
to reconcile hostile sections, and to
bring into one harmonious national
brotherhood all the conflicting elements
of our common country, is an enter
prise SO holy in its purpose that it
should and, we trust will, command
the admiration and united support of
all good men without regard to person
al or partizan considerations"
This committee may be honest, but
we fear it is more discouraged than
patriotic. 1t virtually endorses with
its words what it condemns by its ac-
ton. 1t is a good thing to have big
hope, and it is digger" thing to
possess the attribute of mercy. This
weakened committee possess both in a
remarkable degree.

Gilbert White tells most dramatic

place where his coops stood The
owner, vexed TO see his flock diminish.

he therefore clipped the hawks wings,
