"POssUM" COss, who is not altogether
stranger to the inside of prison walls,
on Wednesday night, was found by the
proprietor inside the bakery establish
ment of Henry FlOto, at Martins Ferry,
and was taken before Mayor Lupton. on
charge of burglary. In default of bail
for his appearance, he was brought to
the Jail in this place. VIM. Hobbs was
arrested for being connected with the
same breaking, and was brought up to
the Bastile on Tuesday. "Possum" is
the same individual who was tried and
acquitted for throwing stone into a
Democratic procession last fall, striking
a man on the head, from the effects of
which he died.
BETWEEN the hours of one and four
o'clock on Saturday morning burglars
entered the residence of John Morrison,
at Neff's Siding, through a lower story
window from which they cut a pane
of glass and removed the fastenings over
the sash. Passing up stairs into the
sleeping apartments of w. R. Morgan
the operator at Quincy. they chloro-
formed him and Mr.. MOrrison's son
Clem-then into the bedroom of Mr..
Morrison where they served him and
wife with the same prescription, as also
servant girl, after which proceeded to
help themselves to what they wanted to
eat from the pantry, and gathered such
articles of value as they desired. Among
them was the pocket-book of Mr.. Nor
rison which contained S140 in money
and lot of valuable papers. Getting
through in the house thev passed into
the store-room and carried off the till,
which contained small amount. leaving
it down the railroad track short dis
tance. The pocket-book minus the
money was kindly left the next day on a
store-box in front of the door. Among
other incidents was the poisoning of a
little dog which kept up disturbance
retarding the robbers movements. Mr.
Morgan says he could see the man stand
ing at his bed, but the drugs rendered
him helpless.

THE MODEL SUBSCRIBER,

Good morning, sir, Mr. Editor, how are the folks
owe you 70. next years paper-I thought I'd
come and pay;
And Jones is agon to take it, and this is bis money
here;
shut down iendin it to him, and then coaxed him
to try 1t year.
"And here's a few little items that happened las,
week in our town;
thought they'd look good for the paper, so jus,
jotted 'em down;
And here is basket of peaches my wife picked ex-
pressly for you,
And small bunch Of flowers from Jennie-she
thought she must send something, too.
You're dom the politics bully as all of our fam.
lily agree;
just keep your old eoose-quili aappn' and give
And now you are chock full of business and won't

The editor sat in his sancsum, and brought down
his fist with thump:
"God bless that old farmer" he mutsered, "he's =
regular jolly old TRIUMPH
And It's thus with our noble profession and thus il
will ever be still;
There are some who appreciate its labor, and soms
who perhaps never will;
But IN the great time that is coming when Gabriel.

And they who have labored and rested shall come
from the quiverng ground,
When they who have striven and suffered to teach

Shall march the head of the column, each ons

AS they march through the gates of the city with

The editor and his ASSISTANTS will travel not fal

The late number of The Student,
little paper published by the stu.
dents of Hiram College, contains an
article of more than ordinary interest
on the above subject. 1t quotes an
extract from letter written by Mrs.
Garfield to her husband, over ten
years ago, and Intended for no eyes
but bis. 1t fell into the hands of
President Hinsdale, who made use of
it in lecture to the students, and as
it showed the qualities OF Mrs. Gar
fields mind, and her opinions upon
the subject of women's work, he gave
it to the student. The extract is as
follows:
81 am glad to tell that, out of all
the toll and disappointmets of the
summer just ended, have risen up
to victory; that silence of thought
since you have been away has won
for my spirit triumph. 1 read some
thing like this the other day: There
is no healthy thought without labor,
and thought makes the labor happy
Perhaps this is the way I have been
able to climb up higher. 1t came to
me one morning when l was making
bread. l said to myself, Here am,
compelled by inevitable necessity to
make our bread this summer. Why
not consider it pleasant occupation.
and make it so by trying to see what
perfect bread l can make:' 1t seemed
like an inspiration-and the whole of
life grew Brighter. The very sunshine
seemed flowing down through my
spirit into the white loaves; and now
| believe my table is furnished with
better bread than ever beforehand
this truth, old as creation, seems just
now to have becme fully mine, that
need not be the shirking slave to toll,
but its regal master, making whatever
l do yield me its hest fruits. You
have been king of your work so long
that maybe you will laugh at me for
having lived so long without my
crown, but l am too glad to have
found it all to be entirely disconcert-
ed even by your merriment.
Now, l wonder if right here does
not lie the terrible wrong or ut
least some of it, of which the woman
suffragists complain. The wrongly
educated woman thinks her duties q
disgrace, and frets under them, or
shirks them if she can. She sees
man triumplantly pursuing his voca-
tlons, and thinks it is the kind of
work he does which makes him grand
and regnant; whereas it is not Tile
kind of work at all, but the way in
which and the spirit with which he
does it,

The American Girl Abroad.

Here is a -and-ink sketch of an
American girl, which is interesting as
showing how a Yankee girl appears to
French eyes: stylish to the backbone.
Independent as independent can be, but
very pure. Is devoted to pleasure,
dress, spending money, shows her moral
nature nude, just as it is, SO As to deceive
nobody.
Flirts all winter with this or that one,
and dismisses him in the spring, when she
instantly catches another. Goes out
alone, travels alone. When the fancy
catches her she travels with q gentleman
friend, or walks anywhere with him I;
puts boundless confidence in him; con-
jugal intimacy seems to exist between
talks of love from morning till night; T;
but she never gives him permission to
kiss so much as her hand.
He may say anything-he shall do
nothing. She is restless; she gives heart
and soul to amusement before she mar
ries. After marriage she is a mother
annually; is alone all day; hears all
night nothing except discussions about
patent machinery, unexplosive petr0-
leum, and chemical manures. She will
then let her daughters enjoy the privi-
leges she used without grave abuse.
As nothing serious happened to her,
why should Fanny, Mary, Jenny, be less
strong and adroit than their mother?
She originates French fashions. Partisan
women detest her. Provincial women
despise her. Men of all countries adore
her, but will not marry her, unless she
has an immense fortune.
Her hair is vermillion, paler than
golden hair; her black eyes are bold and
frank; she has patent shape which it is
forbidden to counterfeit; she spreads
herself in a carriage as if she were in q
hammock-the natural and thoughtless
posture of her passion for luxurious
ease.
When she walks, she moves briskly,
and throws every glance right and left;
gives many of her thoughts to herself,
and few of them to anybody else. She
is wild plant put In a hot-house,"

Oleprparcarfne,

Francis d. Moulton, President of the
International Dairy Fair Association,
when before the Congressional CON-
mittee, made the following statement on
this loathsome article:
The farmers of twenty-three States,
owning 100000 of milk COWS, sup
ported on land worth many hundred
millions of dollars, and producing be-
tween three and four hundred millions
worth of butter and cheese annually, are
directly interested in this oleomargarine
question; as are also the $4,000, 900 peo-
pie in the United States consuming these
articles.
From the State of Maine in the East
to the Rocky Mountains in the West,
and from the lakes in the North to the
Ohio River in the South, the producers of
butter are calling for protection from
the unfair competition brought upon
them by oleomargarine.
Mixed with butter and sold under a
false name, 1t does greater damage be.
cause Of the dishonest methods employed
in its SALE No State law seems compe.
tent to deal with it properly; acts of the
Legislature, compelling it to be branded,
have seen openly violated by mer-
chants of the highest respectability, who
thought it no harm to brand package
with cold iron upon rough stave so in.
distinctly that they could not even dis
cover the mark themselves. The Legis-
lature of Vermont has come the nearest
to doing something practicle with refer
ence to it, by passing law compelling
everyone who sells it from the package
down to the half pound lump to hand to
| the purchaser a printed note saying:
This is oleomargarine.
Manufactures have been put up in al
sections of the country, and they arr
| managed by the shrewdest and best
manipulators in any branch of business
Vast sums of money have been invested
in the business, and the farmers have tt

being manufactured weekly, which is a,

Sicilian ladies, says correspondent,
are not often seen in public; they are
jealously kept at home, somewhat in
Turkish style. On this occasion how
ever, they freely availed themselves of
their temporary liberty by appearing in
open carriages on the drive, by walking
up and down the streets and promenades,
by going to the theater, and, those who
could get Invitations, by going to the
ball given in honor of the king and
queen; and my friend tells me that they
are mostly very handsome, and dress re-
markabiy we'll.
Their figures" he says, "are admir-
ably developed, and yet are slim and
1.-THE a. a young tigress. They have a
beautiful smile, and eyes full Of coquet-
tjsh fire. They are rather prone to
bright colors, even when they are not in
fashion. At the ball almost every lady
was dressed in red or deep pink. One
of the most admired ladies, however, was
dressed entirely in black, with a high
dress to the neck, short sleeves, and
gloves to the elbow"
My friend says he will recommend all
his lady friends henceforth to dress in
black satin, high to the throat.

hURDErT. COUrTa

The New York Sun says Previous to
his marriage Mr.. W. L. Ashmesd Bart
lett had applied for and obtained the
royal license to assume the name Of
Burdett-C outts. which no elected to bear
before that Of Bartlett. He was un-
willing to allow his family name to dis
appear. a. 1t would probably have done
had 1t been placed before that Of Bur-
dstt. Coutts. This change Of name has
nothing to do with the will Of the
Duchess VI St. Adams. but has been
made in order that Mr.. Bartlett should.
a. 10 not unusual in cases Of marriages
With great heiresses. bear in conjunction
with his own the name OF the lady he
has married. Mr.. Bartlett will apply at
once for the additional name Of Coutts,
In compliance with the injunction laid
down in the Duchess will. to the effect
that any husband Of the posssssor OF
tho bank property shall. within SIX
months after the marriage. ssums the
name Of Coutts. BY this arrangement
Mr.. Bartlett will comply with the
Duchess will. and will, in addition. bear
the name OF the Baroness.
And the New York Tribune makes the
following remarks on the subject
Mr.. William Lehman Ashmsad Bartlett
has the royal license Of Queen Victoria TO
make "Burdstt.C outts" . part Of his own
name. and TO quarter the arms Of "Bur-
dett-Coutts" with those Of his " family.
What would tho late Ellis Bartlett have
said II he had been requested to produce
his coat-of.arms7 That excellent New
Bedford man did not attain to heraldis
dignity.
In regard to this quartering Of the
arms or legs Of the Burdstt.C outts with
his own family. this young Down Easter.

New Bedford or anywhere along the
Eastern coast the ''coot" il considered
