make their heads the great depot of thoughts,
and from this send excursions into the broad
field of knowledge, and there secure the golden
ideas whereupon they might sail the ocean of
time and make their journey through life sue
cessful and happy. Yet many give away to
fiattery and fiirtations, and by the cunning
craft of vice and infamy, they are SHARED and
are found floating in the current with moth
ing but leaves". Parents and guardians, who
through gross negligence often fail to give
them the proper training In their youthful
days. Though they may be surrounded by
morality and christianity, still for lack of cul-
ture enter upon the stage of action uncultured
for first-class society, consequently produce
nothing but leaves". Many men engage in
business Nth strong capital, plenty of friends
and with an opening, promising q successful
business, but in short, business fails, capital
and friends both gone: simply because they
have placed as debtors, upon their books who
produced them nothing but leaves" The
drunkard in the gutter, the prisoner before the
bar, the convict in his cell may be counted as
fair samples of those who have yielded bitter
fruit. or nothing but leaves. Youths, you who
are some day to be the leaders of our Grand Re-
public should at once SOW the seed that will
produce the full ripe grain instead of nothing
but leaves.

England. on the S0th of November. 1886, the son
OF the Duke of Devonshire. After his graduation
at Trinity College, Cambridge, he became private
Secretary to Lord Granville. This in 1859
Five years after he left that service and married
the Hon. Lucy Caroline. second daughter of Lord
Lyttleton. He was soon after elected a member
of Parliament by a Yorkshire constituency, and
uniformly voted with the Liberal party, but never
made himself conspicuous as a member of the
House of Commons. The victory of the Liberals
in the general election of 1880 led to his appoint
ment as Junior Lord OF the Treasury, which p0-
sition he held with marked ability and had de-
veloped hopeful promise as debater, when his
assumption OF the Office resigned by Mr.. Forster
led to his most foul murder. He was genial
man, of fine physique and sound common sense,
fond of outdoor sports and respected and beloved
by all classes.

Abe had been silent. He now looked into
his mothers face, hastily closed the Bible
and sprsng up from the log.
"Gracious God my mother is dying" he
hammered, and reeled, pale and trembling,
to her side while Sarah uttered cry, and,
'slling on her knees, buried her face, over

The noble woman endeavored to utter o

in an unintelligible murmur. One more
glance she cast on all around her, and then
her beautiful eyes, formerly so radiant with

The Grand Circus Royal arrived in the
city Thursday morning and pitched its tents
on the lot south of the Vsndalia Freight
Depot. There was performance given
during the afternoon, which was largely
attended by those who are easily gulled into
going to see everything that comes along, NO
matter what style of a show it is The admis-
sion was placed at quarter of dollar, and
it is question whether those in attendance
secured the worth of their money. During
the evening the canvassmen received part of
their wages, and no sooner was this done
than they began TO heave in the Jersey

Torrance began they were all ''half seas

about 10 o clock, few minutes before the
show was over, when several of the drunken

fired four shots in the air, which had the
effect OF scattering the crowd. The police
then appeared and settled the matter by
locking one man up, but this was not done
until Officer John Reed received quitea pain

smoke and dust bad cleared away
it was found that Ed Porter, re-
siding in this city, and who
says he was a quiet looker-on at the fight
was found with his jaw broken and other
wise injured about the head. He was sent
to the City Hospital hostler connected
WITH the show, named Charlie Gates, had
his left ear almost cut of. and another hos
tier, named Heckler, was cut over the head.
A stranger, whose name could not be
learned, was shot in the hand. A canvass
man, nam ed Arthur, who had just joined
the show. was cut on the head. and at late
hour was in an unconscious condition. Just
how many were injured is not known.

The District Canvass,

The st. Adams Messenger comes out
strongly in favor of Ex-Governor
Stewart Tor congressman from the
West side district. 1t says:
We feel satisfied that his candidacy
embodies more elements of personal
fitness and more of the qualities need-
ed in public life, than that of any other
aspirant for the Office, while it would
represent as largely as that of any 9TH
er man the diversified interests of the
district. For these reasons we think
the convention cannot make wiser
choice of a candidate for member of
art. II has BethN at G9yeCnQQr ySteeMHe5
state papers that the name of Judge Ii Z.
Henry Powers will be presented by his
friends to the convention; but all sour
ces of information induce the convic-
ton that Judge Powers prefers to re-
main OIL the bench. OF his eminent
fitness for congressional duties there
can be no question. but until it is def.
nitely announced that he has consent
ed to use his name in the canvass, it
seems hardly proper to make extended
comment in that connection.
1t has been announced, as by antho-
rity, that Congressman Joyce is in the
field for the fifth term. We have little
occasion to dissent from what is being
urged by his friends in his behalf, 81
far as it has reference to his loyalty
and fidelity; and it is conceded that he
has at all times conscieniiously endeav.
ored to fulfil the trust imposed upon
him. But Col. Joyce
has had four terms in Congress, and by
the rule of rotation that has been in
force in this state for many years, he
been accorded to the majority of our
congressman.

eight years of age at the time of her

the Congregational church in this

compelled withdrawal from active
work, she was always among the fore
most and in active sympathy with eve

muni'y. During the later years of her
life, she was placed by Divine order

it all she exhibited great patience and
cheerfulness. Her mind failed, at last,
with her BODY, and finally she passed
away without a struggle, "Safe in the
arms of Jesus" and is at rest. During
the last years of her life she lived with
her brother, Mr.. James a. Severance,
who with his wife kindly watched and

A sad scene, which is said TO be of
frequent occurrence there, was wit.
messed at Castle Garden on Monday.
A Danish family consisting of father,
mother and seven children, three of the
latter daughters from to Is years of
age. were weeping bitterly. On the
passage it would appear the eldest
daughter had contracted an intimacy
with one of The passengers, who proved
to be rascal, inasmuch as soon as they
came ashore he persuaded the girl TO
run away with him. The pair were
soon hunted up by the police, and the
girl was brought back 10 her family.
She insisted, however, in spite of the
piteous appeals of the latter, on being
allowed to return to her acquaintance,
and the officers were using their best
endeavors to show her the folly of her
conduct. The superintendent, how
ever, says entreaties in such cases are
nearly always unavailing, and SO it is
probable this little group will be obliged
to push on to their future homes in the
far West without the wayward bird
that has been enIiced away from the
home nest.
