Detroit Free Press.
About two year, ago n wealthy man
named Paige, whose wife was still
asleep in the fourth story of Il burning
hotel at O,hkoSh, Wisconsin, offered
any person $4,000 if he would rescue
her dead or alive. Al great peril of his
life, the assistant engineer of the fire
department brought down her dead
sody. After the funeral was over, how
ever, Mr.. Paige did not seem TO appre-
ciate her at the same value which he
put upon her during the panic and cri-
81, of the calamity. So he refused to
lay the reward on the ground that the
fireman was bound to do his official
duty, and could not contract with u
private party for Il reward. The lower
court sustained this view, but lovers of
fair play and haters of curmudgconcy
will be clad to know that the supreme
court reyerses this Judgment, and or
dcrS the reward paid, because his off
cial duty did not compel him TO risk his
own life in order to rescue others.
Firemcn, unlike soldiers, do not con-
tract to risk their lives in the service.
But, although the decision serves the
mean man right, the soundness of its
reason may be questioned. Firemen
are not bound like soldiers to expose
their lives uselessly, but it is clear that
if they never risked their lives their
usefulness would be less than it is now.
As a matter of fact they are willing TO
do it, and do it every week. Otherwise
fires would get beyond their control,
The court should have needed the old
Judges advice about u courts being
generous with opinions, but stingy
with its reasons, for the decision may
be sound, the reasons quite otherwise,

The Salvation Army.

Democrats Monthly
This is very powerful religious
organization in England, though it has
made but little progress in this coun-
try. General Booth, who organized it,
has under his command three hundred
and thirty-one corps, seven hundred
and sixty officers, and fifteen thousand
trained soldiers or speakers, ready to
talk when called upon. More than six
thousand services are held every week,
while over 100000 per annum is ex-
pended in the work of the army. The
creed of this singular organization is
strongly Calvinistic It's adherents be-
lieve in devil and a hell, that man
will be punished for all eternity unless
he believes in a crucified Saviour.
Much of the success of the Salvation
army is due to its military discipline,
with its titles, uniforms, banners, and
brass bands, Booth is an absolute die
tator, and his son will succeed him in
office. Much of the success is due to
Mrs. Booth, who is an impressive and
fervid speaker. She is quaint and
sometimes even grotesque in her pre-
sentation Of religious truths. The
of the Salvation army abstain
from liquor and tobacco, and so far are
oaecting real reforms in social life,

Philadelphia Record.
Nothing better illustrates the lcthargy
of the public conscience than the matter
Of-fact uncOnccrn which is exhibited in
the face of suchan astounding exposure
as that OF the Aims House frauds in
this city. The people have become so
accustomed to the recital of official
dishonesty that it creates no surprise
and leaves no lasting resentment. The
sum of the thefts in this ease is shown
to be enormous. Every man in the
community who pays taxes is an ap-
prcciablc loser, To make the matter
worse still, the money and material
stolen We're public aims. The poor
were dclrauded, babies We're starved,
cripples neglected, and great and
merciful charity turned aside and de-
feated.
There is no circumstance of villainy
wanting in this almshouse business TO
provoke the resentment of all right
thinking men and women, and their
wrath should be righteously manifested.
There is no doubt that every precau-
ton has been taken to defeat investiga
tion. The bookso the almshouse have
been mutilated or destroyed. The lips
of living witnesses have been sealed
But murder will out. Such Il persistaut
and monstrous pcculation it is hard to
cover up. There are hundreds of citi-
zens who might give valuable aid to
the Investigations now going on if they
chose TO speak. Those who could rem
der assistance topublic justice and who
yet remain silent will not be blameless
if any robber escapes punishment
through their default.

partmcnt of agriculture in Washing
ton with their latest report (icptcmbcr
12) Oh the several American crops of
the present year. The wheat crop is
estimated at G5,00O, 600 quarters. which,
after providing for home consumption
and restoration Of depleted stocks,
will, they reckon, leave for export ~
100000 quarters. In the harvest years
ending 3l,t August, 1850 and 1881,
two-thirds of our foreign wheat came
from the United States, but last year
little more than half, the American
crop in the eastern and middle states
having been very defective. In the
present year they can send us all We
require and have something over for
continental wants, should France require
u few million quarters to improve her
imperfect quality. And, as other coun-
tries, both in Europe and the east, will
have u surplus to send, there is every
prospect of an abundant and cheap
supply Of bread if the price does not
fall below the cost of moving the crops
from the more distant sources Of sup
ply. For there can be no doubt that
the rapid increase of supplies last year
from other countries, when the Amcri-
can crop proved so deficient, was due
to the rise of price which made the
transport profitable. The Indian corn
crop in America will be larger than
last year, but still far short of that
of 1870 and 1880. So far as this coun-
try is concerned the consumer will be
richer by the ten or twelve millions
saved in the cost of bread. This is Il
saving specially to the working class,
who are much the largest consumers of
bread. The extraordinary develop
ment of agriculture in America, and
the increase of additional supplies of
food of all kinds from that continent
have raised the comfort and position of
the laborer in Europe by enabling him
thus to share in the teeming abundance
of her rich, uneXhausted, and practi-
cally boundless praires. 1t is a double
blessing, helping both those who emf.

Jay Hubbell has been using some of
his wonderful nerve and spine strength
ening salve down here in Texas. The
republican dog had its little indepen-
dent tail cut of. A little of the Jay
Hubbell wonderful nerve and spine
strengthening salve, applied to the
stump of the republican dogs tail,
caused a new independent tail to grow
out, and an application Of the salve to
the Independent tail caused a new re-
publican dog to grow on to it, and now
II is difficult to say which dog is which.
We do not really believe that any Of
the Jay Hubbell fund is being used in
Texas. Our object in writing the above
is that the democratic stump speakers
may get it OFF as original in their

their speeches are as tame as a cup Of

as long sermon on D hot Sunday.

Tho san md the Moon.

| Cornhll Magazine.
In the German language, as is well
known, the gcnderS of the sun and
moon are respectively feminine and
masculine, contrary to the Iule OF the
Roman language, where, rs in Latin,
the sun is masculine and the moon
feminine. In our own language Shak-
Spcare speaks of the moon as "Shc, :"
and in Egypt and Peru the sun and
moon were regarded both as brother
and sister and rs husband and wife.
In Arabic, Mexican, Lithunian, SlayOnic
and Grcenlandish the moon and sun,
according to Grimm, are related as in
German. The variation Of gender i'm
plies, Of course, difference of thought,
but the fundamental conception that
gave them gcndcrS at all in language
or in legend is clearly the same in eth
er case--namely: that the sun and
moon were actual human beings like
ourselves. This thought still fingers in
the Upper Palatinatc of Bavaria, where
| it is still common, or was recently, TO
hear the sun spoken Of As F'rW SO,1Re
and the moon rs Herr Mont. But yet
more strange than this is the fact that
in the same district the tale should sur
yivc which accounts, in the following
commonplace but suggestive way, for
the gcnders Of the luminaries in QucS-
tiOn: The moon and sun were man aud

We have often expressed the idea
that chemical analysis of turnips and
other root crops, do not fully and fairly
represent their feeding value for stock,
and we think this is borne out by the
experience of most farmers who have
practicCd root culture for feeding pilr-
poses. We have always recognized
| the great value of laboratory work in
the solution of the stock-feGding prob
lem, but where this work is not corrob-
Grated by practical results, we may
fairly infer that the laboratory work is
at fault. We know that the skilled
chemist is able to tell us of what Il
turnip is composed, and the precise
amount Of each component part, but
he cannot put these substances together
and form II turnip. He will tell us
just what proportion of water its juice
contains and Just what other substan-
eos are mixed with it, for he is able TO
sepcratc and weigh them; then let
him put these substances together and
add the water, but he has not produced
the turnip juice; the compound will
neither smell nor taste like turnip
juice; vegetable Juices can only be
elaborated IN natures great inimita-
ole laboratory, and since the laboratory
work and actual feeding practice do not
agree rs 10 the value oir0Ots for stock,
we may fairly suppose that there is
something in the natural combination
Of the substances of which roots are
composed, giving them lutritivc
value that chcmical analysis does not
show. These suggestions are prclimi-
nary to the following from the Rural
New Yorker:
"Vcy little is said in the country

Never sp jlse n Word.

DclnuTests monthly,
There died recently, in Delaware
county, Pa, n wealthy farmer who
never spoke y word to his wife for the
last forty years of his life. 1t seems
the wife became heir to small sum of
money at time when the farmer was
in need of spare cash to meet some
obligations. He asked for loan of il
until such a time as he could pay the
debt, but the wife refused. He became
incensed and threatened that unless
she lent him the money then he would
never speak to her, He kept his word,
and for forty years, up to the day of
his death, this couple ate at the same
table, and slept in the same bed, but
no word passed between them. What
is still more singular, the children took
up the quarrel, some on the side of the
father, others on that of the mother,
and several of them were not on speak
ing terms for years. Nor has the
death of the father made any change in
the household, for they pass each other
in the house oblivious of each others
presence.
