The Way the Wind is Blowing.

At the present time political parties are
in great trouble about the dear working
men. Each party is the especial friend
of the working class, and the relation Of
their efforts in behalf of labor is sufficient
to convince any skeptic that politicians are
the only true friends of the workingmen.
The man who so presistently claims to know
what either party has done for labor, who
insist,on knowing why labor, if so much
has been done for it, is in such miserable
condition; who insist on knowing how eth
er party proposes to benefit the condition
of the working class belongs also to that
crowd who, during election excitement,
love to call one another pet names, and
slander all who are not of the same party,
&C., and all this is done through their in
tense love and aL2iety for the welfare OF
the dear people, and the dear people allow
themselves to BE- blinded, take sides, fight
and vote, and then fer another year curse
the fate that keeps them in poverty and
final pauperism. VIII change ever come!
OF course it will. Either the people will
peacefully smash all political paties and
politicians and take charge of the govern.
ment and run il in the interest of labor
or the politicians will become an .aristocracy
that will hold the people in subsection, and
the semblance of liberty will pass away fol
a time, until, the wrongs of labor will be
righted.

A Virginia Bride's Crime.

4 sensational and horrible murder was
recently enacted in Carroll county, Va,
the particulars of which we CLEAN from the
Richmond papers; "The parties to the af-
fair are Mrs. Maud Travers, bride of a
few days, accomplished, beautiful and
wealthy, who murdered her husband, John
Travers, 20 years Of age, in cold blood, Mrs.
Traverse is not yet 20, and, it seems, mar
ried Traverse, who was one of the wealth
lest men in the State, for his money. Be-
fore the orange blossoms had become disar
ranged she regretted the step. On the day
before the murder the husband attended a
dinner party in the neighborhood. His
attention TO another lady on that occasion
was the subject of sharp reprimand by
the newly made wife on his return home.
Sharp words followed, but none of the
household dreamed of the horrible sequel
that was to follow. About 10 o'clock the
couple retired, apparently in good humor
with each other From what followed it
seems that the wife left her partners side
ing knife from the kitchen, returned to the
chamber on the first floor, and cut her hus-
bands throat from car te ear. The woman,
who is of powerful physical build, then
dragged the body of the murdered man
from the bed to the creek, about fly yards
distant, and threw il in the water, hoping
il is supposed, by this means to conceal her
connection with the Levolting deed. Early
next morning two fishermen who were fish
ing in the brook discovered the body. and
traced the crime by the bloody trail left on
the ground in dragging the body from the
house to the waters edge to the Travers
mansion. An investigation followed, when
it was discovered that the woman bad de-
stroyed the bed clothes, which were doubt
less dredched in gore, by burning them
The instrument Of he bloody crime vas
found in the search that followed driven
down between the hearth stones When
arrested and brought into the presence OF
her murdered spouse Mrs. Travcrs denied
all knowledge of, or connection with, hi:
murder, but later in the day, it is said
when brought before the Coroner's jury
the woman candidly confessed her guilt
and said she had determined to become ths
possessor of her husbands wealth whom
she did not love, in order that she nigh
wed the only man for whom she had any
affection. The jury took a recess in th'
afternoon when the murderess seized the op
portunity, when the attention of the officer
who had her in charge was attracted b,
some one in the crowd, to commit suicide
She drew small knife from her poke
an inflicted several stabs in the chest
but detected and disarmed before she in
fficted any wounds of a serious nature Th
affair has created the most intense excite
ment in the community in which it occur
red.

How to Manage the Boys.

Keep your boys and girls at home, but
don't expect to keep them there by throw
ing to them the ehaff and keeping the grain
yourselves. Don't ask to expect improba-
bic things ofthem. Don't expect them to
love your old hillsides when you have
never given them anything there but hard,
dull work. Don't expect your daughters
will tlove the old homestead when they
have got to leave it to learn the first lesson
in culture or innocent pleasure. Make
your home cheerful and you will make it a
happy one. Instead of making the boy
hoe all day on the hillside for you; let
him hoe a half day there occasionally for
himself. Plow up an acre for sthe boy and
let him have what he raises, and you will
soon find that what little leisure time he
has will be spent there instead Of running
to the village. Dnn't make him put up
all his proceeds in the bank, for he will
soon tire Of working for money which
does him no good. Let him take certain
portion OF it and buy something to read or
to make his room or home pleasant.

A Thriving Institution.

From the ohio Statesman, Dee 20.
About the first of June last, we recorded
the incorporation OF new institution. The
State 81 Mntual aid Association, an insur-
ance association basedon the mutual assess
ment plan.
Since that date we have almost lost sight
of this enterprise, SO quietly and smoothly
has it done its work. A few days ago we
visited the Home Office and found the Pres
ide =, Hon. WM. BELL, j R., the Secretary,
J. :. SAMPsoN, and the assistant. busy
attending TO the duties olstheir offices, and
almost hidden under the immense pic of
applications before them. and Issuing cir
tifcates, answering letters, sending out SUP
plies, ect Upon inquiry we found already
upon their books nearly 600 mem bers, from
every part of Ohio. Taking into consideg-
alton the fact that this Association has been
actively at work only six months, and the
fact that dnring much of Jnly and August,
business of all kinds was suspended for har-
vest ana the great strike, the growth of this
Association has been remarkable The
causes which have led to such encouraging
results are the peculiarly clear, equitable
and popular plan of giving both life and
! endowment insurance at cost, and allowing
the members to control their own money
and use it until actually needed to pay
/ losses A member of this Association does
not have TO pay out large amounts of
money to be squandered by extrava-
/ ganee, nor do they have.to pay their insur-
ance during their whole lives to secure the
| benefit. Those who remain faithful TO the
Association from Is to 25 years receiye
themselves, all the benefits of their insur.
ance Some ofthe features so popular with
this Association, are:
| 1st. Endowment Insurance on The Mu.
tual Assessment plan.
ID Uniform membership fee only 81
for any age or amount taken.
Sd. No annual dues, or other extra char
ges, whatever.
4th. Return of all assessments paid in Il.
to date of claim pro rata, to the number o
irtifcates in force at that date.
5th. No division into classes.
9Th Care in selection of risks, and stric
economy in its management
9TH Charging the members for insur
ance according to what they get
The fact that they have as yet not had /
loss, and are rapidly approaching larg
membership, shows that the plan is not al
experiment, and that good insurance cal
be had at home, where all the officers ar
known, and all the money kept within on
own State.
The officers are men of integrity and en-
ergy, and we have this to say of our owl
confidence in them and their plan, that W
have taken membership in. the associa
ton, and would heartily recommend on
friends to do likewise.
Their Home office is in Rooms 5 and
Capital Block, near the New York Store.
p S. Since the above was publised, til
membership has reached nearly 900, ant
the Association has had one death.
