NO LAND GRANTS-NO sUBsIDIEs-
Men frequently, after making fortune 10y
traficking in whisky and debauching the
community, become temperance lecturers.
This impudence is only excelled by the north
ern politicians, who, after prospecting by land
grants and subsidies, hold up their hands 10
holy horror at the idea of giving the south
either land or money to aid her as the north
has been. aided. In discussing this subject,
the st. Louis Republican shows that tie
policy of granting lands to railroads and to
States in aid Of railroads was inaugurated in
1850 by the grant Of 2,595,053 acres to the
Illinois Central road, and l ,004, $40 acres to
the Mobile and Ohio road. Since then Other
grants have been made, aggregating 209,-
663, 994 acres, or 327, 285 square mile
which, If embraced in one body, would form
a State larger than Texas and nearly as
large as FIVE such States as Missouri. In fact,
the government has granted to railroads
enough land 10 form the area of an en-
pire. classification of the grants by
States shows that the south has received
A, 963, 419 acres, and the north 164. zoo, SIS
acres, the north receiving more than three
and half times as much as the other sec
ton. Mr.. Caldwell, of Kentucky, in a
speech in the house, ON the second instant,
in favor of the Texas and Pacific guaranty,
estimated that the north has, in addition to
receiving this enormous grant of lands,
drawn from the treasury for public works
and buildings SIG. s59, 500, while the south
has drawn only $II.612,O06; the north las
received $40, is, $50 for the construction of
canals and wagon roads, while the south has
received only $6,9S1 .9S2; and that near'y
800, 600, 900 in bonds and interest has been
paid to the several Pacific railroads. These
figures are not presented as basis for a de-
mand for an equalization of grants between
the two sections, for there ought not to be
any distribution of national favors on sec
tional arrangement; but they may be fairly
offered rs an answer to the outcry against the
reasonable request for a government guar
anty of the bonds of the Pacific road, which
is, indeed. a southern line. with many ma
honal characteristics; but the Union and the
Northern Pacific roads are both northern
lines, and if the two latter, with their con-
neetions, have been granted 5000, 900 acres
of land and nearly $90,0O0,000 in bonds
and money, surely ii is not unfair to ask that
the needed southern line shall be assisted by
the simple guaranty of the bonds.

Girls, Beware.

GERMANTOWN, TBNN May SIT is con-
coded by the world that the immortal Shake
speare was not far from the truth when he
asserts that ''the man who has not music in
his soul is fit only for treason, stratagems,
and spoils." Should this deficiency be man
ifested by such treatment of the gentler sex
as might be styled indifference, disdain, or
even rudeness, when one of them makes an
effort to discourse succession of pleasing
sounds, we are forced to blush for the civili-
zation of the nineteenth century. History
tells US that the Spartans, a gallant people in
war, invariably treated their old men, and,
of course, their women, with marked defer
ence. And much later, when we reach the
age of ehivalry, we find that the oath of the
gallant knight devoted his life, with all its
noblest efforts, to the service of the sex of his
mother, his lady-love, and his wife. In
stinctlvely the nobler nature of man is clear
ly brought out, and we are permitted to see
the bright side of dark-visaged war. The
greatest of all gifts to man is woman.
" Grace was In her steps, heaven in her eye,
In every gesture dignity and love-"
We are informed that sweet strains from
the harp, by The skilful hand of the shepherd
boy, David, quoted the savage breast of the
towering Saul, and also that the murderous
instincts of the famished wolves were stayed
by the musical bow of Fiddler Dick"
For there is music in the rippling nils,
There Is melody in the darkys quilts.
Then, my young friends, should you be
approached by man of becoming exterior,
whose heart is not stirred by the smile, win
ming voice, and musical strains of woman, l
say beware. Hesitate before you trust him,
or any like him. implicitly. MUSICIAN.

WHAT THE CHURCH HAS DONE.

1t is an evident and well-known fact, ven
cradle brethren, that the cause OF civilization
is wanting in solid foundation if it does not
rest on the eternal principles of truth and on
the Interchangeable laws of right and justice;
if sincere friendship does not pervade the
sentiments of men, and render moderate the
motives which regulate their reel orocal du-
ties Now, who will dare deny that it is the
church which, by preaching the gospel among
the nations, has carried the light of truth
into the midst of populations who were saw
age and imbued with shameful superstitions,
and which has brought them back to the
knowledge of the Divine Maker of all things,
and to respect for themselves? Who will
say it was not the church which, in suppress
ing the calamity of slavery, recalled man to
the pristine dignity of his noble nature
Was it not the church which, by raising the
standard of redemption in every part of the
world, by drawing toward it and covering
with its protection the arts and sciences, by
organizing those admirable institutions of
charity IN which every misery finds its solace,
and by its foundation of places of benef-
cence, has everywhere civilized the human
race in its private and public feelings,
has lifted it out of its degradation. and
by every effort of care and solicitude, has
led it into a way of life conformable
to the dignity and hopes of man? And
now if a man of common sense compares
the age in which we live-an age inimical to
religion and to the church of Jesus Christ
with those happy times in which the church
was honored as mother, he will be fully
convinced that this present period, full of
troubles and ruin, rushes directly and rap
idly to It's destruction, and that those former
centuries have been the more hourishing in
the excellence of their institutions, the tran
quillity of life, in richness and prosperity, as
the people showed themselves more submits
sive to the government of the church, and
more obserVant of its laws.

taught us in the example and writings of the
great Augustine and other doctors of chris
tan science.
THE CHURCH AND THE FAMILY.
1t is, however, necessary that this excellent
education of youth, In order to insure the
veritable faith and religion, and be real
safeguard to morals, should commence with
the earliest years and in the very interior of
the family. Now, that family, so deplorably
disturbed in our time, can be re-established in
its dignity by no other means than by the laws
according to which the Divine Maker himself
established the church. Jesus Christ in
elevating into the dignity of a sacrament the
ceremony of marriage, which he wishes to
use as a symbol of his union with the church,
has not only rendered more holy the copju-
gal union, but has prepared for the parents
as well as for the children the most effica-
cious aids by which they may more readily
arrive in accomplishing their mutual duties
| at the possession of temporal and eternal fe
hcity. But when impious laws, having no
regard to the respect due to this great sacra-
ment, have placed it in the same category as
purely civil contracts, the result is the de-
plorable consequences that the dignity of the
christian marriage being violated, the citi-
zens have substituted legal concubinage for
the legitimate union, the married couple have
neglected their mutual duties of fidelity, the
children have not observed the respect and
obedience which they owed TO their parents,
the ties of domestic affection have been re-
Taxed, and, what is most detestable exam
pie, the gravest prejudice 10 public morals,
pernicious and rezre able separations have
very often succeeded to an insen sate love. 1t
is impossible, venerable brethren, that the
sight of these lamentable calamities should
not awaken our zeal, and should not excite
you to recommend seriously and constantly
TO the faithful confded to your vigilance, to
lend a docile ear to the doctrines
which treat of the sanctity of chris
tian marriage, and to obey the laws by
which the church regulates the duties of
parents and children. It is thus you will
bring about the desirable reform In the NOR
ais and manner of living Of each man In par
ter branches and miserable fruit, the sad
blot which deprayes families is contagious,

Grated upon at the den on Louise street. Won
Derfhing objected at first, but Nine. Durivage
insisted until he yielded. She took the young
baroness herself to the four doctors, and as
sisted in holding the writhing and shrieking
victim. Won Senfft took two girls to the
American asylum. The father of one of the
girls, Baron Won Stegemann, accidentally
discovered what his daughter had done. He
disowned her, and gave information against
the American doctors to me. / ordered them
to be arrested, and their house searched.
Kraushaar made an attempt to escape, but
was foiled. Maltzberg was absent from the
city at the time of the arrest, and succeeded
in fleeing to America. The imperial govern
ment has taken the necessary steps to bring
about mis- extradition. We found large
quantity of papers at the asylum, the instru
ments with which the doctors had perpe-
trated their crimes, and, horrible to say,
hidden under large dung-hill in the gar
den in the rear of the house numerous
charred human remains. And a sort of
furnace, in which, according to Kraushaar's
confession, the murdered babes had been
burned. Evidence in regard to the agents
and mi1wIves was also obtained, and they
were apprehended. Won Senfft called at the
house, unaware of what had taken place.
He was arrested, and in his terror made
clean breast of what he had done. The ex-
aiming magistrate was unable to elicit any
thing from the American prisoners, except
that they were no physicians at ALL They
gave what they pretended were their true
names, but they inhexibly refused to state
anything about their antecedents. Kraushaar,
on the contrary, made full confession, every
detail of which has been fully verified since
then. Nine. Durivage denied her guilt, but
1t was fully established by the confessions of
Baroness Marie Stauffenb berg, and of the lat
ter's seducer, Won Delffiing. The agents
and midwives made contradictory statements,
but their guilt will be proved to you" Five
days were consumed in the examination Of
witnesses. Every part of the acte d'accusa-
ton was fully confirmed by the evidence.
The prisoners were closely examined by tie
presiding judge. Many exciting scenes oc-
Cured during the examination. Nine. Duri-
wage became hysterlcal upon her conduct be-

How the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw

county without completing the road? is
IA question that has bren often asked. In
answer to letter making inquiries i'm

Root, cashier of the company, answers
the above question. and says that the

jackson, Lansing & Saginaw railroad. ar.
complete in the railroad company. The
lands were granted to the railroad COM

tions per mile for road built and operated

the lands i'm Otsego, Antrim, Charlevoix,

to the company by the United States
govci nment for road built south of Otse.

The propriety of thus giving away
lands of this county without the county
receiving any benefit from the
the grant, we think it is at least
quo stionable. The company. it seems.
have complete title already to the lands
and there is no way to compel them to
construct the road beyond its present ter
minus. They can 60 on and dispose OF
these lands and receive the benefit with
out the county being benefited i'm the
least in way of railroad communica
ton. There is no question but that the
road will eventually be built to the straits,
but when ? is the question which this
county is interestedin. Had the grant
been made contingent upou the compile
tion of the road at certain time we
think there would have been no COM
plant In regard to the grant.

Our HarbOr.

The citizens OF Duluth, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, and i'm fact the whole North
west, have already commenced making
preparations for grand onslaught upon
Congress to secure large appropria-
tion for the further improvement OF the
harhOr at Duluth. They are in earnest
about the matter, and we may safely say
that they will not fail i'm securing what
they ask. They never have failed. The
citizens Of Cheboygan can learn lesson,
and beneficial one, if they will take the
pains to look xat the way the Duluth
people work. We will venture 20 say
that not fact connected with tho COM
meIce of Duluth will fail to be present
ed I'm the best shape to every member of
Congress. Already these statistics are
being collec ed. Since the first efforts
made to secure the commencement of
our harbor improvements what has been
done by the citizeus of Cheboygan to
collect statistics regarding the import
ance of our harbOr TO give our Congress
man a lever to work with. We expect
our member of Congress to work for us,
and have right to expect this. but we
have no right to expect him to spend his
time to ascertain such facts relating to
the importance of our place. Every fact
relating to the business of this place, the
knowledge Of which would give him
material to influence legislation, should
be furnished by our people. IT we ask our
Congressman to work for us, if we ask
Congress to make all appropriation tor
the benefit of this harbor. they have a
ris Int to expect that we " i'll furnish facts
concerning the business transacted here,
as a basis of our claims. If the facts
concerning the business of Cheboygan
and its rapid increase could be properly
presented to Congress we have no fears
but that we shall receive from that body
all that We ask, and what the business of
place demands. The question is. shulI
the 'sinews of var" be furnished to our
Congressman? Many places of less i'm
pOrtance than this are receiving much
larger appropriations simply because
their applications are male in better
shape. Ii we put in such claims rs we
are enabled to. By the business which is
done here, we can secure what we should
have, if not, we cannot.
