A Tribute to Woman.

Capt. r. Kelso Carter recently paid
the following neat and just tribute to
woman, in an impromptu address atthe close
of debate on "Woman's Emancipation, :"
on board the steamer Indiana, fron Phil
adelphia to Liverpool:
'Much has been said upon the subject
of woman's emancipation, but, after all is
she not emancipated already? The hand
that rocks the cradle always sways the scep-
tire in fact if not in name. When the
Spartan mothers trained their sons in ev-
cry sort of warlike pastime, and said tc
them, "Come not back from the battle ex-
cept you come upon your shield, the ma
tion became a nation of warriors, and the
rod of the empire was held by a military
power that shook the world beneath its
tread. But when the Christian mother of
to-day teaches her boy to be kind, to be
gentle and courteous, to be considerate of
the feelings of others, restrains in him the
natural uprising of the ler taLionis, and
inculcates the grand principle of doing
unto others as you would have them do
unto you, then and not until then, we find
men governing with some regard at least
to the tenets of humanity and justice;
then, and not until then, we find liberality,
liberation and liberty.
IL would like to propose toast tonight,
although a total abstinence man myself
toast to woman. To be drunk, not in
liquor of any kind, for we should never
pledge a woman in that which brings her
husband reeling home to abuse where he
should love and cherish, sends her son to
the drunkard's grave, and her daughters
to life of shame. Oh, no, not in that,
but rather in the life-giving water, pure as
her chastity, clear as her intuitions, bright
as her smile, sparkling as the laughter of
her eyes, cheering as her consolation.
strong and sustaining as her love-in the
crystal water would drink to her that
she may remain queen regnant in the en-
pire she has already won, grounded deep
as the universe in love; built up and ex-
ercised in the homes and hearts of the
world; would drink to her the full blown
flower of creations morning, Of which
man was but the bud and blossom, to her
who in childhood clasps our little hands
and teaches us to lisp the first sweet pray
er to the Great All-Father, who comes
to US in youth with good counsel and ad-
vice, who in manhood meets our heart
yearnings with the faithfulness of conju-
gal love, and whose hand, when our feet
90 down into the shadow, smoOths the
rough pillow of death as none other can;
to her who is the flower Of flowers, the
pearl of pearls, Gods latest, best and
brightest gift to man-woman peerless,
pure, sweet, royal woman.

MASTER OF ONE THING.-Jack of all
trades seldom succeed in making much
money. To do one thing extra we'll is
about all man can do. He may aim to
be prince in one line of business. He
cannot be very great merchant, contrac-
tor, manufacturer, farmer, builder, railroad
operator, speculator and cattle-drover, at
one and the same time He must take
some one of these to his heart and head,
and make speciality of that one. It is
the only way that great trade schemes are
pushed ahead and that millionaires are
made. This one-idea theory win hold
good in every calling of life; and no better
advice can be given to youth than that
contained in these words:-'Do some one
thing in life, and do it well"

Mustard was, according to the belief OF
the ancients, first introduced from Egypt,
that country which claims the honor OF
being the birth place of Ceres, the goddess
of seeds, and Esculapius, the god Of med
icine, through whose means this plant was
known to mankind as an agreeable and
wholesome herb in its green state; while
the seed was used as a medicine, and oc-
cupied the first rank among alimentary
substances which exercised a prompt IN
fiuence on the brain. Mustard is men.

in medicine by HippOcrates, B. c. 4S0.

One of the most remarkable things In
human nature is the willingness of women
to sacrifice a girls life for the chance of
saving the morals of scapegrace man.
If pious mother can only marry her Be-
clzebub to some good, religious girl, the
chance of his reformation is greatly in
creased. The girl is neither here nor
there, when one considers the necessity for
saving the dear Beelzebub.

A plant of somewhat remarkable prop
critics is partially described by Major Stu.
art, in his report on Hayti. It's narcotic
properties are so powerful that they can
produce coma of any desired intensity and
duration. A few families only know this
plant, and the knowledge of its properties
is handed down from generation to gener-
alton as un heirloom but it is believed
that an experienced bOtanist may discover
it and make it available for medical pur-
poses.

SOCIAL DIsHoNoR.-GOssip entails on
those who encourage it absolute dishonor
we mean the dishonor of repeating con-
versations, opinions, circumstances, not
made under promises of secrecy, but which
high sense Of honor would treat as con-
fidential, if happily high sense of honor
were the rule. 1t is odd that one of the
best things boy learns at school is to es-
chew tale-beariug and keep faith with his
companions, while one Of the most COM
mon practices of society is to botray the
trust contained in talk, and repeat to all
what has been told in implied confidence
to one. This habit Of repeating what we
hear is as fatal to the best intercourse of
minds as to the finer feelings Of integrity.

To MEASURE Corn IN A CRIB.-This
rule will apply to a crib of any size or
kind Two cubic feet of good, sound, dry
corn, in the ear, will make a bushel Of
shelled corn. To get, then, the quantity
of shelled corn in crib of corn in the ear,
measure the length, breadth and height Of
the crib inside of the rail; multiply the
length by the breadth, and the product by
the height; then divide the product by
two, and you have the number Of bushels
of shelled corn in the crib.
To find the number Of bushels OF ap-
Piles, potatoes, ETC., in bin, multiply the
length, breadth and thickness together,
and this by 8, and point off one figure in
the product for decimals.

n FATAL RIDE.

BY Which Col. Crooks Son and Two 9th
ers Lost Their Lives.
The GLOBE related the sad accident by
which Col. Crooks lost promising son at
the time of the occurrence. Yesterday the
news reached the city, that the body had
been recovered, and in all probability
would reach the home of
the bereaved parent tomorrow.
When the news of young Crooks death
reached here, no details of the lamentable
accident accompanied the bare notification
of his drowning. Since then, and more
particularly, yesterday, Major G. j. Allen,
U. S. Corps Engineers, received full ac-
count of how the mishap and
serious consequences were brought
about. Young Crooks and six others
were on their return to st. Paul from Grand
Rapids. On the homeward trail they
reached Lake Pokegama about noon of Sun
day, the Sd inst. At the point where they
struck the lake, a family of brothers, half
breeds, named Sewell, had farm, and also
had established ferry across the lake-here
one-half mile wide. The party determined
to be ferried across, rather than make de-
tour of several miles around the lake. The
Sewell brothers brought out large birch
DARK canoe 10 Terry Inc party over. AS all
could not be accommodated at once, part re-
NAMED on shore while the others got in to
make the crossing. Young Crooks,
Bliss, Cunningham, and Curtis, with
two ferrymen, constituted the
first load. AS the boat got
we'll out on the water she was found to be
unseaworthy, and fast filling with water.
Near the middle of the lake the passengers
realized the danger and sprung from the
boat; she turned keel upwards. Curtis and
the two Sewalls caught hold of the boat and
were saved. Young Crooks, being good
swimmer, struck for the shore. He swan a
distance of three or four hundred yards, fol-
lowed by his dog, when he was seen to sink,
the dog with him. 1t is supposed he became
numbed as the water was intensely cold.
Cunningham, SO soon as he jumped from the
boat, sank, and was seen no more. The
cries of the Sewalls and Curtis brought the
remainder of the engineer party to the
banks, and also boats to tneir relief from
some lumber camps near at hand. -Four
days ago the body of young Crooks was re-
covered; Cunningham's has not been found,
nor has Bliss, who persisted at the same
time. If the corpse arrives here on Wednes-
day arrangements have been made to have
the interment take place on Thursday.

WHY rs 1T THUS?


The City's Lamps Dismantled by the Dis
appointed Globe Gas Light Company--A
Legal Question Involved.
The Northwestern Globe Gas Light com
pany, of Minneapolis, enjoyed the privileges
and accumulated the profits of lighting the
city of st. Paul for one year. At the expira-
ton of their contract they renewed their
for the money in it. They failed to secure
the contract, both because they had failed to
give satisfaction, and because they were not
the lowest bidder. The successful bidder,
Prof. Saroni, was ready to adjust his burner,
etc., and give the city glow, when it was
discovered that the Globe Gas company had
dismantled all the lamps both of burners and
reservoirs for the gasoline. The query
naturally arose, were they entitled to
do this? Under the reading of
their contract, the city authorities hold to
the contrary. At the time they took charge
the city was lighted with coal oil, eighty
lamps being in use. 1t was stipulated that
these lamps, if removed, should be returned
to the city at the expiration of the Globe gas
company's contract, and it was further con-
tracted that these lamps, posts and fixtures
should be furnished the city at $11 per
post, lamps, etc., complete. The company
during the enjoyment of its contract has
planted eighty-four $1l posts, etc. The
city besides has paid for the apparatus put
in the other lamps. The coal oil lamps have
not been returned to the city at the expira-
ton of the Globe Gas Co.'s contract; the
company has dismantled the city's $11
posts, eighty-four in number, and has
removed all appurtenances to the other
lighting lamps. All these proceedings are
alleged to be contrary to the spirit aud letter
of the law, and the intention is expressed
that the city will learn why this is thus.
And the inquiry, it is stated, will be made
when the company presents $500 bill for
services, at the next regular meeting of the
city council.
