ANOTHER THRusT.-The New York as
sembly is determined that people shall know
one thing, at least, which they are eating.
1t has passed bill requiring boarding house
keepers, if they propose to use oleomargarine
instead of the COW product that is alleged to
be put upon the table now, to put up plac-
ard in the dining-room announcing their in
tention. Whether this will have the effect
to diminish the trade in that article or not,
remains to be seen. Foolish as it may seem,
people have strong prejudice in favor of
butter, aud no matter how closely it may
be initiated, they prefer the genuine thing.
1t is an old-fashioned taste which has grown
with the growth and strengthened with the
strength, and no new product can take the
place of the golden rolls made from rich
cream. ret 1t is fact that oleomargarine

THE "GREAr WEST. An estmable lady who,
ten or fifteen years ago, was compelled, by force
OF family ties, to take up her bed and walk" for
the far west, that Is, Northwestern Wisconsin,
thus expresses her present views OF facts and
prospects Of that section. She was a native OF
Washington county: "The cold and deep snow
has been terrible to encounter, though the
suffering here is nothing to what it has been
in Minnesota. They keep everything as dark as
they can. In some cases several families would
get into one house and burn other houses and
furniture to keep from freezing. Oh the horrors
Of the western country So many have left COM
Portable homes to come here to suffer death

hear. But with all the suffering there has been.
there will still be lots of fools that will go west
during the coming season. cannot see why they
will do 1t. The farmers here do not begin To lay
up money as they do east. II they would think
they had better stay where they are II the east
ern people could see the mortgages that are car
ried here think they would conclude they had
better remain east It Ia awful to see how our
people are In debt You can have no idea OF IT,
Still they crack mp the west. 1t seems to me
there has got to come fearful crash, for cannot
see how the debts are going to be paid

JOHN BRowN's WIDow.-The widow and
daughter Of old John Brown are now living
in obscurity aud poverty on a small farm
near San Jose. The widow is about seventy
years Of age, and the burden of her support
falls entirely upon the daughter, worthy
and cultured lady, who is ill-ftted for rough
farm work, which she is obliged to perform
to exc out scanty maintenance. Their
place is mortgaged for $1,000, and payment
Of interest on this debt seriously embarrasses
them. A local paper, the San Jose Mercury,
calls on residents Of that place, as well as
admirers of the hero of Harper's Ferry else
where in the state and country, to raise a
fund to pay off this debt and assure these
deserving women of competence for the
remainder of their days Contributions for
warded TO the Bank of San Jose, or to the
Mercury office, will be applied to the object
intended. The report has already raised 9
committee in Boston to obtain funds for
their relief.

FLooDs.-Western floods still continue.
The west always does things on grand
scale, even when it comes to intimidation of
her cities and territory The Missouri river
is on the rampage. Council Bluffs, Iowa,
has been partially flooded, the bottom lands
overfiowed, the Union Pacific track sub
merged and its bridges loaded down to save
them from being swept away. At Yankton,
damage to property by the ice gorge has
been fearful. Steamboats, have been carried
inland and stranded on the railroad tracks
one of these wild rovers struck the railroad
machine shops, demolishing them, and the
boat finally anchored out on the prairie, a
mile from the river channel. A number of
houses have been removed from their foup-
dations. Great suffering and restitution
prevail among the settlers. The river ia

IRELAND's TRoUBLEs.-Under the opera
ton Of the coercion act the landlords of Ire.
land are having their own way, as the power
OF the land league is broken. Evictions
occur with frequency. From our American
point of view, 1t is to be regretted that q
measure of justic and mercy, like that which
it was to be presumed Mr. Gladstone would
embody in his land bill, and which appar
emily forms its distinguishing features, could
not have preceded measures of force and re-
preston. The grievances of Ireland are real
and tangible. wise and honest redress
and then, if necessary, coercion and repres
sion, would seem to be more in harmony
with the order in which legislation should
proceed under all the circumstances.

Sitting Bull has solved the question
whether life is worth living afirma-
lively In his own case. He derives
much pleasure from introspection.
He says, for instance, what very few
white men can say, that s.he has al
ways had a reason for everything he
has DONE" and that s'every act of his
life has had an object on view," and
that mo man can say he has neglected
70 think'-a charge which is brought
with great success against white men
nearly every day. He makes one
other assertion which very few of us
would venture on-viz; that ..if he
had no place in the world he would
not be here,n and that s'the fact of his
existence entities him to the exercise
of whatever influence he possesses"
Nor is every one satisfied, as Sitting
Bull is, .'that he was created for a
purpose" In fact, great numbers of
men are puzzled to know what they
were made for, and so are their
friends.
