The historian of the Women's
Rights Society, at its meeting at
Worcester, summed up what has
been done for women since it's first
convention was held at the same
city just thirty years ago. "Every
position to which women has attain
ed she has securely held" said the
speaker. "In every department of
public trust to which she has been
promoted she has shown her faithful
ness and her capacity. Because she
is a woman is no longer any reason
why she cannot do the thing she is
best fitted for" The historian
thought, too, that the signs of the
times indicated that further ad-
vances would speedily be made by
women, not only in n State but in
other States and countries. "From
Japan came the news that q woman
had refused to be taxed because she
could not vote for her tax collector.
The women are up in Arabia, they
have already passed their first step
in Persia, and rejoice that in other
and in far-of lands, as well as in our
own more favored one, the woman's
hour hes struck" And, in truth,
the advance of woman legally and to-
ward freedom of choice as to their
employments has been surprising
since 1850.

A company of burlesque perform
ers, called the Merrymakers, is going
through the country with great fl
nancial success, but dares not visit
N. Y. city for fear ofinterference by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. The members
are all under II years of age, and
he star, Corrinne Kimball, is only

The Rev. George Newbold ran a
bakery while pastor Of the Metho-
dist church at Bartonville, Canada,
and further diversified his pursuits
by forging checks. While serving a
term of imprisonment for his crimes,
at Belleville, he made love to the
Warden's wife, and on his release
eloped with her. On his Wedding
tour he visited Mansfield, Ohio, and
accidently meeting the Rev. Mr..
Gilroy, who had once denounced
him, gave that gentleman a sound
whipping. He is now to be prose
cuted for bigamy, because he has
three wives.

CHICAGO,

The sales of Bromoline in the city of
Chicago, last year, was thousands upon
thousands of bottles. Chicago is a first
class city. Bromoline is a tirst-class
medicine. Do you see the point? If
Bromoline had not been a good medi-
cine for the Blood andLiver, the lead
ing citizens of Chicago would not en-
dorse it by using it as a family medi-
cine. We mention Chicago, particu-
larly, it being a Western city and
Bromoline a Western medicine. When
your Blood is out of order, your appe-
tite gone, you feel weary and listless,
then try Bromoline and be helped.

a Queer Notion.

Many people think it cheaper to buy
% cent sizes of a proprietary medicine.
But they make a mistake. For instance,
DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
contains about eight times the quantity
of ordinary 25 cent cough balsams. Be
sides it takes a less quantity of Wistar's
Balsan to cure a cold. A single dose
is often sufficient. For deep seated
Colds and Consumption it has proven
itself to be the best and quickest cure
ever discovered. For sale by

The Episcopal prayer book will
still stand by the doctrine of the
Trinity. The General Convention
refuses to substitute in the Litany
the words lord God Almighty" for
''the Trinity" and "Holy Ghost, the
Comforter" for "HoIy Ghost pro
ceeding from the Father and the
Son." And yet the mere demand
for the amendments shows that, if
not in the prayer book, at least by
some in the Church, the doctrine of
the Trinity is rejected.

The influence of Dreams ON
Memory.

Memory.
That our dream experience may
now and then lead US to fall into il
lusory recollections has already been
limited. And it is easy to see why
this is so. When dreaming we have
a mental experience which closely
approximates in intensity and reality
to that of waking perception. To
the savage, dreams are as real as
waking perceptions, and it is prob !
able that young children take their
dream-world for real and substan-
tial structure. Consequently, dreams
may leave behind them, for a time,
vivid images which simulate the ap-
pearance of real images of memory.
Most of US. perhaps, have felt this af-
ter effect of dreaming on our waking
thought. How hard it is sometimes
to shake off the impression left by a
vivid dream that a dead friend has
returned to life. During the day
that follows the dream, we have at
intermittent moments something like
an assurance that we have seen the
departed one; and, though we imme-
diately correct the impression by re-
fecting that we are recalling but a
dream, it tends to revive within US a
strange pertinacity.
In addition to this proximate eff
feet of a dream in disturbing the
normal process of recollection, there
is reason to suppose that dreams
may exert a lore remote effect on
our memories. So widely different
, in its form is our dreaming from our
waking experience that our dreams
are rarely recalled as wholes with
perfect distinctness. They revive in
us only as disjointed fragmants, and
for brief moments when some acct,
dental resemblance in the present
happens to stir the latent trace they
have left on III minds. We get sud
den flashes out of our dream-wo-ld
and the process is too rapid, too in.
/ complete for us TO identify the region
f whence these flashes come. 1t is
e highly probable that our dream:
: are, to a large extent, answerable fol
: the sense of familiarity that we some
times experience in visiting a new
locality, or in seeing a new face.
); If, as some of the best authorize!
say, we are, when asleep, Away
e dreaming more or less distinctly, ant
if, as we know, dreaming is a contin
ual process of transformation of on
waking impressions in new combina
tons, it is not surprising that GU
i dreams should sometimes take tn
e form of forecasts of our waking life
and that objects and scenes of thi
G life eve before seen should nov
It and again wear a familiar look. Tha
some instances of this puzzling sens
s of familiarity can be explained i

A German revivalist has come to
the front in the person of the Rev.
F. Won Schleumback. He has been
made a secretary of the. Young
Mems Christian Association of the
United States, and is holding meet
ings in Boston. He is called the
German Moody on account of a
slight resemblance to Moody, but he
is said to be a better speaker and
logician. His strongest point, how
ever, is that he is a converted atheist,
and his most effective assaults are
upon the sin of unbelief.

The elections on last Tuesday
have resulted most disastrously to
the Democratic party. From pres
ent appearances they have not car
ried a single State in the north, and
have probably lost enough Congress

ana in October forshadowed this re-
suit so plainly to almost every re-
fecting man, and seemed to fix it SO
firmly in the minds of the people
that it was impossible for the De-
mocracy of the country to overcome
it. 1t is no use for US again to speak
of the means by which this result
was brought about. They are well
known to the country. Neither need

TO anything wanting in our brave,
heroic, pure and patriotic candidate.

same with any other standard bear

The papers all around us are boasfully
Dragging Of the beauty and attractive
ness Of their respective towns, but, to our
minds eye, Opelousas excels them all
in point Of real, substantial elegance.
No spot on mother earth could possibly
surpass in beauty and pleasantness the
lovely, enchanting town of Opelousas.
Besides this, and still betterthan all, we
assert, without any fear of successful
contradiction, that we have the handsom-
est NEST intellectual and refined ladies,
and host of the most dignifed, accom-
plished and polished gentlemen within
the entire belt of country comprised
between the Mississippi and Sabine
rivers. Such community as ours is
truly an ornament and a credit to any
town or city, and we are proud that it
is within our province to record the
pleasing fact in behalf of Opelousas.
We say this much without the remotest
intention of disparaging other commu-
mites, for we are charitable enough to
believe they are all more OR less gifted
in this respect, but, in our opinion, ours
leads them all.

Last Tuesday we saw an object Of
pity just in front of our office--a poor
horse SO emaciated, worn out and
broken down in appearance, as to 1ivet
our attention and excite our sympathy.
Upon inquiry we learned that he was
one Of the most serviceable animals in
our parish, but received the worse
treatment from his owner than perhaps
any other within the limits of the
State. The unfortunate brute looked
as though he had not seen or smelt a
grain OF corn Or blade of fodder in
the last twelve months. Such acts of
cruelty and negligence to animals should
be held up TO public scorn. We refrain
from giving the name Of the owner, but
he and his poor horse are sufficiently
known in our community to need any
further comment from us to establish
their identity.

Would not a monster murmur of pro.

come suddenly the order of the day

they would all find themselves in pre-
