''Put down the rebellion and report
Afterwards" !" said Grant to his Louis.
ana General. "Take the canal and
Egypt, and report afterwards to the
pewers," says England to her Admir-
al and her forces in the East. Right
or wrong, England intends to act aud
use diplomacy afterwards.
And now all the conditions are sup

0ember, was referred to in a number
09 articles in the ADVANCE, during
the years 1877 and 1873. That conflict,
known to readers Of prophecy as the
battle of Armageddon and the war be-
tween Cog and Magog, was to take
place, according to the figures of Bald
win, somewhere near the years 1878 or
1850. And it is thus outlined: The North.
ern nation, or Bear, was to move down
and conquer Asia Minor and E.
gypt, make war upon the lion, or Eng
land. conquer the lion and compel the
ether powers to join her and move
against the United States to crush out
free government. While the greatest con-
1lict IN the history Of the world is going
on in America, the Republicans, Mill
lists, Communists, and all friends Of free
Government. are to rise in Europe,
overthrow the Monarchies and estab-
lish Republics. The old Monarcl'ical
church systems are to be overthr0wn
with the old political systems.
This rather pleasant Interpretation of
the prophecies of Daniel and St. John,

win in 1854 and adopted, improved and
enlarged by Monroe in his ''lnterpreter
and Translator" only few years ago.

VENNoRs ON AUTUMN.-Here is the
outlook for the fall season:
The autumn months will continue
moist. September will probably give
rains and floods In western Canada and
in western and southern sections Of the
United States. October will be much
the same, with early cold and snow
falls November will begin the winter
Of l882.3-a winter likely to be mem
.orable on account of its exceptionally
heavy snow falls and very cold weather
over the whole northern hemisphere.
That ~ cold and wet summer is in
variably followed by cold and stormy
winter is truth now SO well proven
and borne out by the testimony Of
past records that we cannot lightly
put it aside: and il we have good and
sufficient grounds for predicting the
f0rmer-as we most assuredly have at
this time-it is hut right that we should
warn the people Of the latter in good
season.

THE HIGH SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
EDITOR ADVANCE: At au infor-
NAL meeting of the Board of Educa-
tion on the 23rd. ms. Mr.. Hart, Sec.
of the Board, was instructed to proceed
to st. Paul to attend meeting of the
State High School Board and present
tho claims of our school to the appro-
priation of 500 allowed by the State to
High Schools. Mr.. Hart attended the
meeting and went from there to
Cleveland on visit. He writes to me
rs to the result of his mission as fol-
lows:
II found our examination papers un-
opened ut Prof. Folwell's. State Sup't
Kiehle and President Folwell opened
aud examined the papers and expressed
themselves highly pleased with the
work Of our school and commended it.
They expressed much regret that
Prof. DonavOn should have suffered
any suspicion as to incompetency.
The $500 was allowed our school and
will be sent to the Treas. of our Board
as soon AS necessary forms can be at
tended to-"
The delay in the allowance of our
claim was not therefore due to the in.
completeness of the work OF the school
Or the want Of Il State certificate by the
Principal, Tut to the fact that our
school had ten months session when
most schools have had but nine. Our
School closed on the 30th day 0f June
and the High School Board met on the
next day, July 1st. Our papers had not
reached the Board and of course could
not be passed upon at that meeting.
Prof. Folwell and Supt. Keihle went
east and Prof. F. only returned last
Friday, 25th. At the first oplWrtnni-
ty after their return our papers were
promptly acted upon aud allowed as
stated by Mr.. Hart.
Prof. Folwell rs inspector and exam
iner Of the Board visited our school last
winter and in reply to my request for a

school under Prof. Donavan's care

W0R7171NGT0N LIQUOR CASE DEcz-
DED.
St Paul papers of Tuesday contained,
III the Su preme Court reports, the long
expected decision in the J.angdcn liQ-
uor cases. The decision is rs follows:
SUPREME C0URT-APRlL TERN, 1882.
The Of Minnesota. plaintiff, vs. Ben
Langdon, defendant
The incorporating act Of tho village
of Werthington enacts that TO license
shall he granted for the sale Of malt,
spiritnous or Intoxicating liquors rs IA
beverage. 1t tOrbids (as construcd) all
sales for such purpose. and imposes the
penalty Of fine or imprisonment for
violation of such prOhibitory provis-
ions. 1t gives authority to the com
mon council of the village by ordinance
to restrain any person from selling such
liquors. ''nuless duly licensed by the
common council"
Held: ~ That the power Of the board
of county commissioners, conferred by
the general statutes to grant licences
within the village, is not taken away,
but is so limited that licence cannot be
granted only for sales for other pur-
poses than rs 4 beverage.
With the same Limitation che village
council may also grant licences.
Second-That the general law ma
king it crime to sell liquors in less
quantity than five gallons without IL
cense is not ahrogated by the special
act, but for snch unlicensed sales one
may be indicted and punished under
the general law. Order affirmed.

JUSTICE IN VORTlYINGTON.

still here in the house in memory of an
assault and battery con- mitted Aug.
ed. After first being warned to leave
the premises by the lady of the house,
he still preslsted and pushed the lady
over chair and barrel, and came into
the house. AS she recovered, after being
bruised somewhat, she caught hoe
and drove him out of the house and off
the premises, outsiders say in q hurry,
and still there is no remedy. A war.
rant was issued and time fixed for
trial: On appearing for trial the JUS
tice said he could not attend to it un-
til he had made some inquiry Of the
neighbors, for he was a very quiet old
man. 1t would be supposedly most peo-
pie that the time to hear from outsid-
ers would be at the trial when boil,
parties can know what is said. If
there is whiskey row or little bois-
ferrous talk, do you think they wait to
talk with the SONS or any other persons?
No, they rush for warrant imme-
diately and bring the parties before the
justice and then hear testimony. Now
if we have laws, they should make no
distinction as to age or condition.
The Republicans of Mobiles county
are evidently determined to have things
their own way in the matter Of elect
ting a senator and representative. No.
bles county. Of course, wants the sena-
tor and is willing, in order to secure
this, to give the representative to Muir
ray county. To make the thing sure,
however, the representative committee
Of Mobiles county has declined to take
any steps toward calling u representa-
tive convention for the present and is
evidently lOstponing this action until
after the senatorial convention is held
This will enable Mobiles county to force
Murray into submission in the senator.
ial convention and still leaye the NOM
inatiOn of q representative within tine
cOntrUl of Mobiles in case by any mis-.
hap it should not secure the SENATOR
Rock Go. Herald.
The above appears to confirm the ru-
mors We lave heard from time to time
that Rock county intended to make
quite an effort to secure the Senator.
We understood until recently that the
Senator had been conceded to Mobiles
county, in which event Murray of
course would have the representative.
Now if Rock and Pipestone would set
tie upon which county is to have the
representative and not be secretly
working to take the Senator away from
Mobiles, We might have campaign as
harmonious as a lug HANDLE" But
we judge from the above and from
what we have heard from other sources
that Rock issecretly at work to secure
the Senator. We move that Rock he
made a district and given a senator
and representative both once a year.

Giants in These DAYS.

Captain Martin Van Buren, Bates, who
lives ON farm near Seville, Ohio, is
seven feet eleven and half inches high,
seven feet eleven inches high, and
weighs Alb pounds. 1t is difficult mat
ter to convey an adequate idea of thepro-
portions, of such a dwelling as the one
occupied by the Ohio giants. A door
that is six feet six inches high Isl large
sized opening in the side Of a house
that is, a dwelling house, nota cathedral.
But the doors in the domicil of the
Bates giants are ten feet high, and the
knobs are nearly as high as the report
er's head.
The house was built by Captain Bates
in 1876, and is elegantly furnished. In
the main building on the ground floor
are, besides the spacious hall, the bed
chamber of the giants, a sitting room,
and aparlor. The couch upon which
the big couple sleep was made especially
for them, and it is a curiosity to look at.
1t is extensive enough to give the great
people room to stretch in, and it looks as
big as an ordinary sized floor. It's real
ly ten feet long, wide in proportion and
about twice as high as common bed.
The magnificent dressing case is also a
huge affair, with glass upon it nearly
as big as the side of house. In the sit
ting-room is piano of ordinary size
itself, but it is mounted on blocks two
feet high, sothat the instrument is away
up in the air, out of the reach of COM
mon folks. There are two rocking
chairs in this room that are so big that
the reporter had to climb up into one of
them the same as an infant would clam
Der into a "high chair" It is very ex-
pensive for the giants to live. as they
have to pay such an exorbitant price for
everything theywear. For instance, it
costs the Captain $50 for pair of boots.
1t is a most astonishing sight to come
across the two giants out for a drive.
City folks who have seen the ponderous
wagons with wheels reaching to the sec
ond story of a house, used to haul stones
weighing tons and tons, can form an
idea of the vehicle used. 1t is pulled by
six stout Norman horses, and is enough
to make man think he has got 'em
sure, to suddenly meet such spectacle
on the road out in the country. Pass
ing wagons have to let the rails down
and drive into the adjoining fields until
the giants go by Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Match Making Napoleon.

Napoleon could be liberal for his own
sake. to those who could help him, al
ways ON the condition of their absolute
subserviency. But he appars to have
been almost destitute of real generosity
of SOUL he took positive pleasure in
woundingi sensitive natures, and he was
given to indulging in outbursts of bru-
tality which sometimes passed from
rough language into actual violence.
AS for that matchmaking mania of his,
there are two instances among many
which are strikingly suggestive. One
was his actually proposing, after the diz
vorce from Josephine, that she should
bestow her hand on the Prince of Wur-
temburg, who, having come to Paris on
political business, had been greatly taken
by the fascinating Empress. Though
the proposal was certainly made, it
could scarcely have been serious; at all
events, the Prince would have had rea-
son to repent the match, for Napoleon
was in love with Josephine to the last,
and proved his capricious love by his
irritable jealousy -,
In the second instance to which we
refer. a marriage was really brought. off,
in style that reminds us of The Eastern
seraglio or the guard-roorn, and one of
the victims was no less a person than
Davoust. Napoleon suddenly announced
to his brother-in-law, General Leclerc,
that he Oeclerc) was appointed to the
command of the st. Domingo expedi-
ton, and must sail immediately Le-
clerc demonstrated against the hasty
departure. A sacred tie bound him to
France. He had sister who would be
left alone in the world. j.. IYI.Ip
"We must have her married directly
tomorrow, for example" .--.
But have no fortune to give her."
Am | not here? Tomorrow your
sister shall be married. don't know
exactly to whom"

inform Napoleon that he was about to
be married.

These words were uttered by voice
in tiny, unfinished room in the pitch
of the roof. A small piece of tallow
candle spluttered and f1ared on the win

the dim corners and among the rafters

A year had passed by. 1t was the

were flocking toward the little black
school-house. The teacher, who was
seated on high platform behind desk,
wiped his glasses, raped on the desk,
and called the school to order.
He arranged the classes-first the
scholars in advanced arithmetic and ge-
ography and history; then, class in
