Gods blessing on the workers. Daily
Bible Readings, to be used by us in our
private readings, are to be prepared by
our National President, Mrs. Witten-
myer. These will be published. monthly,
in Our Union. The Badge now adopted
by the National, as well as State and Lo-
cal Unions, is the knot of white ribbon.
Let us not neglect any of these outward
means of bringing our widely scattered
workers into unity of thought and plan;
but above all let US seek to be guided by
the spirit which is ''first pure, then peace
able, gentle, and easy to be entreated, :"
full of charity and faith.
Dear Sisters, do not let it be forgotten
that earnest, hard work alone gives proof
of living faith. Our Unions will no more
win trophies for Christ on prayer without
work, than bird will soar to heaven up
on one wing. Our Master is Him who
''went about doing good.' ''Lo, I am
with you always is His promise. Trust
ing in this, let US walk gently forward,
''without haste, without rest," to meet
the opportunity and duty of the year to
come.

Your Sisters,

About as bold piece of rascality as we
have heard of occurred near New Frank
lin one day last week. Mr.. Hyde Mar
shall, wealthy citizen of that neighbor-
hood, went to Canton and drew 81 600
from one of the banks and took it home.
Soon after two strangers called upon him
and by some reasoning known to the pro-
fession of confidence operators, succeed
ed in getting the 81 900 away from the
old gentleman. Shortly afterward two
other strangers presented themselves and
told Mr.. Marshall that they were detec-
tives, and that the former two who had
got his money were swindlers, and that
if he would give them his due bill for
$500 they would recover his money for
him. Mr.. M. acquiesced to the arrange
ment, gave his due bill for the amount
and the men left. They went to Canton,
and by chance presented the due bill for
discount at the very bank from which
Mr.. M. had drawn the money. The bank
officers suspected something wrong, and
declined to cash it, and the parties left.
Up to this writing Mr.. M. is short 81 800.
with but little hope of its recovery. It is
proper to observe that Mr.. NJ. is not n
newspaper reader, and is not versed in

Township and corporation lines can
be changed, and new townships, election
precincts and school districts can be Gre
ated by the local authorities at a. trining
cost. Such is the law. Yet in the face
of this law, and of the Constitution itself,
there is an annual avalanche of Fbills''
for such purposes precipitated upon the
Legislature, at cost of from 5000 to
$40, 900 to the people of the State, who
have no interest whatever in these special
jobs-for as rule they are nothing but
fjobs." These bills take precedence of
business of more general concern, being
pet measures of individual members, who

BOTANY.

In this world of beautiful grass, flow
ers and trees I must name a few guides
for the study of the plant World. The
first and second books of Botany by ]. Fl.
Bal four, M. D., of the University of Ed
inburgh, and published by Putnams are
good for the teacher who has not studied
the subject and has only small portion
of time to devote to it. These two admira-
bic volumes by Miss Youmans, and pub
lished by the Appletons will serve the
teacher good purpose, and in some re-
speet cover different ground.

GEOLOGY.

The Story of Geology, by Dana, is per-
haps as good book as 1 could commend
to the district teacher. 1t is book of $50
pages. 1t is told, as its name implies in
story like form. If the teacher would
possess himself of the fossils figured there,
would soon obtain some interest for this
most important branch.
Another worthy companion for the
above may name as an Ohio product. It
is from the pen of our esteemed friend,
Prof. E. B. Andrews, Assistant Geologist
of Ohio. tits published by Van Antwerp,
Bragg 6 Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a
very valuable book, fresh and vigorous.

Talk of eating crow. When the Repub-
licans of the Senate crammed the Chinese
immigration bill into the NAV of the
party of great moral ideas and equal hu-
man rights, it was a deal worse than crow
diet. The record is bad enough one for
Democrats, but their whole stock and cap
ital in politics do not rest upon the one
foundation of the universal equality CT
man. How the Republican party can
make any boast of its work in behalf of
the negro after whatit proposes to donow
for the Chinaman is one of the things not
easily understood.-St Louis Republican.

The Chinese anti migration bill is in
direct contravention of the ''great, gem
eral and essential principles of liberty''

ferson and the fathers of Democracy. It
is possible that Senator Thurman learned
his early political lessons in the school
of the old Federalist.-O s. Journal.
And so! Mr.. Fernando Wood is, in the
opinion of well informed Democrats, ready
to enter into combination with the
Greenbackers, inf1ationists and repudia-
tors to dlscredit the Government and
ieopardize specie resumption, professedly
so dear to the Eastern Democratic heart,
in consideration of which he is to be the
next Speaker of the House.-O. S. Journal.
The statement of Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, to the effect that twenty per
cent. of the pensions paid are fraudulent
is worthy of serious attention, especially
| if that statement is backed up by the
Commissioner of Pensions, as Mr.. Davis
alleges. The money paid to crippled
veterans, and to widows and orphans, is
the reward of valor and fidelity but able
bodied bounty-jumpers and dead beats

In passing the Pension bill and the
Chinese bill it seems to have been a con-.
test between the Democrats and Republic
cans which should grub the lowest for
party capitol. There was not particle
of craftsmanship about either. AS re-
CARDS the Chinese bill, it is not possible to
answer the objections made to it by Sen
ators Hamlin, Dawes, Edmunds and 9th
ers that it is un-American, Reputation

THE WORK BEFORE THE TEACHER.
We dismiss this line of thought. The
good judgement of those for whom these
words are intended, will supplement us.
We desire to lay down the following fact,
viz: That all true science teaching in
terrogates nature first. Books, discus
sions, monographs are used only as guides
10 determine the fact in hand. Text
books on science are really only means
TO an end. How true it is, that these are
the beginning, the middle and end
TO many teachers. Nature is the real
text. She must be questioned.
Prof. Huxley, speaking of the study of
nature versus text books, in his excelian+
treatise-"Anatomy of Invertebrated
Animals, . says: "For the student that
which is essential is knowledge of the
facts of Morphology." He should know
real structure. Again he says, "that the
power of repeating classification of
Animals with all the appropriate deflni-
tions, has anything to do with genuine
knowledge, is one of the most common
delusions."
Let us resolve to address ourselves to
the pages of nature. Let rs there read

A shooting affair occurred at Bay
st L0uis on Monday, Which may
result in the death of IA worthy and
esteemed citizen OF that place.
DR.. Latham had been attending
to ii patient in that place, as the
story is told; but owing to carless.
ness and irregularities on the part
of the doctor, DR.. Rhodes, a retired
physician, was called in. This fact
excited the anger of DR.. Latham,
and so yesterday morning hesought
his revenge.
DR. Rhodes and his wife were
passing in the street in front OF his
house, when DR.. Latham, from his
yard, fired at him with a rifle. DR..
Rhodes was shot through the hand,
the ball also passing through his
hip and lodging in his back, near
his spine. The wound is considered
a mortal one.
AS soon rs the affair became
known in the town, the marshal
went up to Latham's house to ar
rest him. He was told Latham
was asleep. He concluded not to
disturb him, but "would come back
later in the day" When he went
back later in the day, Latham was
not to be found, and has not been
found since.
