A NIHILIsT IN AMERICA.-NEw York,
July 29.-The celebrated Nihilist from
Russia Leo Hartmann has arrived in this
city, having evaded the most acute de-
tectives in the world. This hero of
thousand narrow escapes, and the origi-
nator of many desperate and deadly plots
says he means to continue the struggle
against Russia to the bitter end and
will return to that country as soon as
circumstances will permit. owe are
supplied said Hartmann, "with ample
means to battle the watchfulness of the
Russian spies and to pass and repass the
frontier without being known. Even in
Russia itself we are comparatively safe,
for all classes of the population are ON
our side and ready to conceal us from all
pursuit. TO show you how easy it is
for one of our party to elude detectives"
continued Hartmann, 81 don't mind tell
ing you that two weeks ago, after quit
ting London, ostensibly for New York, |
have been on the continent, have passed
through Germany, Berlin included, and
have visited a Russian town about forty
miles distant from the German frontier"

OAT MEAL.-When you have any
heavy work to do do not take either beer
cider or spirits; by far the best drink is
thin oat meal and water, with a little
sugar The proportions are quarter of
a pound of oat meal to two or three
quarts of water, according to the heat of
the day and your work and thirst; it
should be we'll boiled and then an ounce
and half of brown sugar added. If
you find it thicker than you like, add
three quarts Of water. Before you drink,
shake up the oat meal we'll through the
liquid. In summer drink this cold; in
winter hot. You will find it not only
quenches the thirst, but will give you
more strength and endurance than any
other drink. If you can not boil it, you
can take a little oat meal mixed with cold
water and sugar, but this is not so good.
Always boil it if you can fiat any time
you have to make a long day, as in
harves., and cannot stop for meals, in
crease the oat meal to half pound, or
even three-quarters, and the water to
three quarts, if you are likely to be very
thirsty. If you cannot get oat meal,
WneaI HOur VIII w Ditt nOG quite so well.
For quenching the thirst few things are
better than weak coffee and sugar; one
ounce of coffee and half an ounce of
tugar boiled in two quarts of water and
cooled is very thirst quenching drink.
Cold tea has the same effect; but neither
is SO supporting as oat meal. Thin
cocoa is also very refreshing and support
ing likewise but is more extensive than
oat meal.-Dr. Parker.

THE MILITIA AT EAU CLAIRE.

A few political demagogues who know
little or nothing about the matter are
criticising Gov. Smith for ordering the
state militia to Eau Claire on the occas-
ion of the late strike among the mill
hands. Gov. Smith, we believe, is gen.
orally credited with being a cautious,
careful man, one who never acts without
due consideration. He did not call for
the militia until he had visited the scene
of the disturbance and ascertained from
personal observation that there was ne
cessity for more force than the local au-
thorities could muster to insure safety to
life and property The strikers were
marching the streets, from 1000 to 1900
strong, an excited and dangerous mob,
and unless something was Gone to check
this mass of excited humanity, acts of
lawlessness were liable to occur at any
moment. The strikers had already visi-
ted several mills and forcibly stopped the
machinery, and every man who SPOKE of
going to work on the old terms was
threatened. In fact the town was in the
hands of the strikers. This was the state
of affairs when Gov. Smith arrived at
Eau Claire. He was solicited by the
mayor and the best citizens Of the place
to call out force sufficient to protect
the town and its people, and the Cover
nor under the laws Of the state could do
nothing less. All will rejoice that there
was nothing for the militia to do after
they reached Eau Claire; but who will
undertake to say what that large force
strikers, infamed through real or imagin-
ed grievances, would have done had
there been no restraining influences ex-
cept the ordinary police force of the city?
The men might have confined their acts
of lawlessness to forcing mill hands who
were not in sympathy with the strike to
suspend work, but it is more than probable
that destruction Of life and property
would have followed had there not been
some decided action on the part of the
Governor The militia did nothing, it is
true, but their presence had a most sal
utary effect The mills were Immediate
ly stated up; the men who desired to
went to work without fear of molesta-
ton Day by day they were followed
by others until now the large force ofmen
who a short time ago were marching the
streets harboring thoughts of evil towards
their employers are at work earning mon
ey with which to support their families.
1t may be that Gov Smith made mis-
take in ordering the militia to Eau
Claire but the law-abiding portion Of
Wisconsin will be slow to believe it.

PROSPERITY IN lRELAND.-The situa-
ton in Ireland in a material point OF
view is exceedingly encouraging. A
great change has occurred during the
past twelve months, and the dismal tales
Of suffering and famine that were waited
across the Atlantic have been succeeded
by much more cheerful intelligence.
The farmers as rule are we'll off, for
the good and sufficient reason that the
majority of them either pay no rent at all
or only such an amount as they deem
proper. A large number of persons, it is
true have been evicted, but they and
their families are assisted out of the
Land League funds which are so gener-
ously subscribed in this country. The
cable brings information however, that
one portion of the population-namely
the first laborers-arc disconnected, and
in some counties are marching through
the country demanding higher wages
They are in fact on a strike. That is q
good sign of the times A strike always
presupposes that the men engaged in il
are at work and earning at least some
kind Of a living. 1t ,nay be poor one
but half a loaf is better than no bread
which was the condition af a large por-
ton of the population short time ago
Taken all in all Irelrnd is perhaps as
prosperous as she has been at any time
within the past ten years.--Nev York

The Ludington Guards have been
ordered out of the Eau Gale woods, and
the hunt for the Williams brothers is
practically ended. The idea that the
murderers are still in the woods is not
now seriously entertained. 1t is thought
they escaped several days since. The
pursuers were misled by tramp calling
himslf Buffalo Charley, a noted Indian
scout, and he is now under arrest. He
claimed that he would be followed by
several scouts, with pack of blood
hounds, and the pursuers depended on
bus promises until too late to accom-
plish anything.

LINCOLN s SPEECH At GET
TYSRTRG .Et.s

-Four score md seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that all
men aresscreated equal. Now we are en-
gagged III great civil war, testing whether
that nation or any nation so conceived
and dedicated can long endure We are
met on great battlefield of that war
we are met to dedicate portion of it as
the final resting place of those who here
gave up their lives that the nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and proper
that we should GO this But in larger
sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot
consecrate, we cannot hallow, this
sacred ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here consecra-
ted it far above our power to add to or
detract from. The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here
1t is for us, the living, rather to be dedi-
Gated here to the unfinished work that
they have thus far SO nobly carried on.
1t is rather tor us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us;
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to the cause for which
they here gave the last full measure of
devotion, that we here highly resolve
that the dead shall not have died in vain );
that the nation shall, under God, have a
new birth of freedom; and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people, shall not perish from the
earth

shoes, his collar button, his s.s.suspen-

lounged around among the willows all
that day and walked home alone In the
starlight. And the fact was he has
never been able to enjoy a swim very

human nature; but we also see its best and
brightest sides; and we are kept in contact
with the most rich and soul-elevating truths
in the universe. Yes; we are bought into
the daily fellowship OF the Divine Teacher,

Jesus comes to us in our studies His coun
tenance shines on our Bibles. He glorifes

Remember They Are Children.

Don't expect too much of them; it has
taken you forty years, it may be, to make
you what you are, with all your lessons of
experience; and will dare say you are
faulty being at best. Above all, don't ex-
pect judgment in child, or patience under
trial. Sympathizs in their mistakes and
troubles; don't ridicule them. Remember
not to measure child's trials by your stand
ard. GAS one whom his mother comforteth,"
says the inspired writer, and beautifully
does he convey to us the deep, faithful love
that ought to be found in every woman's
heart, the unfailng sympathy with all her
children's griefs. Let the memories of their
childhood be as bright as you can make
them. Grant them every innocent pleasure
in your power. We have often felt our tenn
per rise to see how carelessly their little
plans were thwarted by older persons, when
little trouble on their part would have
given the child pleasure, the memory Of
which would last lifetime. Lastly, do1't
think child hopeless because it betrays
some very bad habits. We have known
children that seemed to have been born
thieves and liars, so early did they display
these undesirable traits, yet we have lived to
see those same children become noble men
and women, and ornaments to society. We
must confess they had wise, affectionate
parents. And whatever else you may be
compelled to deny your child by your cir
cumstances in life, give it what it most
values, plenty of love.-Selected.

A Home Word.

1t is an excellent thing TO have welLkept
house and beautifully appointed table, but
after all, the best cheer Of every home must
come from the heart and manner Of the
home mother. II that is cold, and this un-
gracious. all the wealth of India cannot
make The home pleasant or inviting. Iu-
telligence, too, must lend its charm, If we
would have home an Eden. The severe
style OF house, order, neatness, seldom leave
much margin for intellectual culture. Even
general reading is considered out of the
question for woman SO hurried and wor-
ried with her scrubbing and polishing, and
making up garments. A simpler style Of
living and housefurnishing would set many
a bonded slave at liberty and add vastly to
the comfort OF all houses. Hospitality
rarely prevails in these spotless line and let
ter houses. Company disarranges the books,
and disorders the house, which had work
enough in it before. The mother cannot
throw off her carking cares, and sit down
for real heart 10 heart converse with the
old friend Of her childhood. Still less can
she enter into the JOYS and pleasures, right
aud delightful TO her own children, because
of the extra work of clearing away it will
be likely to make. With all your toll to
make house beautiful do not neglect the
first element Of ALTO bsautify yourself,
body and soul. A sweet loving word, and
a warm clasp Of the hand, are far more TO a
guest than the most elaborate embroidered
lambrequins at your window, or the m ost
exquisite damask on your table. There are
bare cabin homes that have been remsm-
bered with pleasure, because of the beauti.
full, loving presence there; and stately pal
aces which leave the impression of an ice
berg on the mind.-.Selecied.
