Hazel Green Fracas.

A Frenchman, sojourning at Ha .
Eel Green, entered the saloon of
Jeffrey 4 Eustice there on Saturday
last and in boisterous manner de-
manded dir nix. He was refused.
Then he asked Thos. Mcdonald to
Join him in forcing the keeper TO
give him drink. Mcdonald declined
to Join in the conspiracy. French
man was put out. When outside he
fred several shots with revolver,
one of the cartridges going into the
house and frightening the inmates
but hurting no one. Mcdonald
went out to see him, and in few
moments thereafter be was found on
top of that Frenchman trying which
could stand the most-the French
mans head or bis knuckles. They
we're separated and the cylinder of
Frenohmsn's revolver was missing.
Sunday morning he went TO the sa-
Ioon 10 get his revolver and the
keeper refused to give it 10 him.

tics tried to quiet him but they were
unsuccessful, lie ran against Nc

The Prodlgal.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from the
mine, refined, end coined, by the labor OF
other hands and the sweat of other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form 10 just estimate OF its value.
When the donor weighed it, he cast into the
balance so many days of unremitting and IA
tiguing toll, so many anxious and sleepiess
nights, so much self-denal and so much care.
But the inheritor into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one, values it for what 1t
cost him the other, for what it will purchase.
Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable, he
thoughtlessly expends it to crafty the caprice
and cravings of his nature. Then comes the
last scene - the misery, the remorse, and the
long and wearisome journey back to the home
of frugal industry But there are other prod
igals On her favorites our bounteous parent,
Nature. has lavished her richest treasure -
health. But the prodigal values it lightly, for
it costs him naught, and recklessly squanders
it il riotous living. Present pleasure obscures
future want Soon the curtain rises on the
last scene We see him helpless, improverish,
ed-the rich treasures OF blood and mind all
lost,-in misery and despair. Remoraeful
Conscience holds up to him the mirror OF
memory. In his own reckless folly he per-
ceives the cause of his present pain. He re-
solves to return. The journey is long and
tedious, but if he perseveringly follows the
right road, he will at length see the haven of
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seeing
her invalid child afar off, will come out to meet
him, and receive him back with love and
blessings. To find the right road homeward,
the suffering prodigal should read 1.-THE Peo-

A New Definition of Religion.

Much of the difficulty encountered
in attempting to harmonic Science
and Religion unquestionably arises
from misconception of the terms
themselves. On the one hand, Science
is made to include theories and n.y.
pothesis, which however convenient
and useful in many ways, are still not
Science in the true Specification OF the
word. On the other hand, Religion
is so encountered with sentiment and
theological dogma that its true char
acter is misunderstood, and men who
have schooled themselves to scientific
methods of thought and investigation
are repealed by the false attitude
which Religion is made to assume.
The great battle between the two is
for the most part sham affair. Sci
ence fights not Religion, but the spu-
rious claims which. are put forth In
her behalf in mistaken zeal. Religion
does not quarrel with the facts and
discoveries of Science. but with the
interpretations put upon them. BE
tween The facts of Religion and the
facts ol Science there can be no serl-
GUS quarrel. Each is bound to ac-
knowledge those of tie other. Fur
Their, both Scientists and Religionists
recognize that all truths are insepara.
bly, connected, and hence that Science
and Religion, regarded simply as ex-
pressions of truth, are twin-sisters,
that ought to dwell together in per-
feet harmony and they will when
each assumes her true character and
function. But how are these to be
determined? Who will give defni-
ton ofScience which shall be accepted
by Religion Who will give a def
milton of Religion which shall be &C
cepted by Science ? For Religion can
make little objection to some of the
definitions of Science which occur in
the books, such as ga knowledge OF
facts" or ga systematic arrange
ment of knowledge" But the defini.
tons of Religion are indefinite and
complicated, and SO extended as
to cover all forms of creeds and
worship in both Christendom and
Pagandom. What wonder that Sci
ence, with her rigid methods, rebels
at the claims put forth in the name Of
Religion Evidently new definition
of Religion is demanded, which shall
enable her to work hand in hand with
Science. The following has occurred
to us, but we would be glad to see il
improved upon by others:
Religion is the rational apprehension
of the existence of a spiritual poNd
and Iove of truth that a0il make us
eager to explore that soorld and prompt
to accept and act upon all discoveries
in that World.
1t may be said in behalf of this
definition that it throws down all par.
titions between Religion and Science,
which is the important work to be
done; for Religion is nothing but the
love of the truth (Which is the love OF
Science) extended into all worlds, in
Guiding the spiritual. 1t offers basis
on which Science can carry her love
of investigation into all the claims OF
Religion, and it should satisfy Relig-
ion by its demand that Science shall
not only explore the visible world,
but accept and act upon its facts.
Who will offer better difinition P

Small Pox at Highland.

DR.. Chas. Eagan, of Highland,
writes under date of Jan, oath to the
Muscoda NeUs the following in rela-
ton to the origin and progress of
small pox in that place
"About Nov. 18th Charles Singpiel
called at my Office, having slight
eruption on his face which [ recog-
nized as smallpox in a very mild
form, and told him to confine himself
to bis room until the eruption had
entirely disappeared. ! warned the
family in which he boarded, and gave
them all necessary precautions; but
as the young man was not sick
enough to be confined to his bed, my
warnings we're entirely UNDECIDED.
The next day | personally notified
the business men of the village that
small pox was in our midst and the
day following 6ingpiel was on the
streets ready to fight anyone who
would say he had the small pox. At
this period DR.. Andrews, now of
Cobb, 6 miles south of here, came TO
town and in presence of large num-
Der Of our best citizens tcld Singpiel
the eruption was not smallpox, and
the doctor made motions of inocula-
ting his own person from the crusts
from Singpiel's face. This high
handed outrageous manner convinc-
ed people that the disease in ques-
ton was not small pox, but "small
pox scare" My lips were then for a
time to be closed and to await the
coming of the greatest of all destroy
ers, smallpox, when the innocent
would suffer and die. In due course
of time four members of the family
where Singpiel boarded were taken
down with the disease; then Bernard,
John and Elizabeth Lynch. Ber-
nard and John, two brothers-most
promising and honored young men
Of our village-died of malignant
smallpox. For a time the disease
continued to spread until there were
twenty-seven cases in all. 1t is now
under control, and has not spread to
other families for ten days. There
was one death last week-a young
son of Thomas Manning. At present
those having the disease who have
not entirely recovered are doing we'll
except Miss Lynch, who is making
a slow convalescence."
