A CAUCUS of the leading Independents

Mr.. TAYLOR, Gen. Garfield, successor
IN Congress, won the respect Of his asso-
ciates Monday by an earnest and thought
tul speech in opposition to the anti
Chinese bill. The House is more open to
the action of so-called popular forces than
the Senate, and when the conservative
body has yielded TO the clamor of the
Pacific coast, there can be no question of
the lower branch. Mr. Taylor's satisfac
ton will be that of man who is yi~bt
rather successful.
MARY ANN HERMAN. the poor lunatic
who beat Tanner at his own game and
died last week after a sixty-three davis
fast uttered only one cry of suffering
during her long period of torture and that
was shortly before her death, when, sing
ularly enough, Il severe attack of the
mumps was added to her miseries. Dur
ing the last twelve days of her life she
lost twenty pounds in weight and at the
time OF her death weighed scarcely more
than seventy-five pounds, having lost 1O5
pounds in all during the fast.

THE Edison Electrict Light Company
has run IT'S wires into nearly 1000 houses
in New York, and has erected over 14,000
lamps. Work will soon begin on the ap-
paratus for six other districts. The wires
are under ground.
THE best news the wires have brought
for many a day is the gradual subsidence
Of the foods ia the Mississippi. 1t is a re-
lief that is slowly measured by inches, but
it will bring new hope to thousands who
stand on The brink of starvation.
The emperors of Russia and Germany
have exchanged assurances of sympathy
and amity. They declare that they will

looks forward to peace. So far, well.
General Rosecrans has been made chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, as much through sympathy
caused by The publication of the Garfield
letters as else. 1t is felt that under the
circumstances he has been badly treated,
and this is an expression of sympathy and
confidence
The restrictions imposed by certain
States of tie Union upon commercial tray
oilers irgn distant commonwealth arc

LITTLE by little the few renainin 2
traces of the Garfield policy are disappear
ing. Colonel Cooks retirement from the
prosecution Of the Star Route cases marks
the final and complete change in that par
ticular branch of the public service. He
has hung on longer than his chief, but a..

A LIVELY day was st. Patrick's in the
London post offices. The authorities cut
open hundreds of paste-board boxes sent
from Ireland, but it was the green sham
rock and not the deadly dynamite that
mot their gaze. However, the one is
about as bad as the other for English eyes,
the former having apparently the same
effect on John Bull as a red flag has
upon bull in the ring.
TIE Government of the United States
has demanded of the British Government
speedy tiai of American citizens who
have been arrested and imprisoned in
Ireland under the operation of the Coer-
cion act. The British Government ac-
knowledges the reasonableness of the
demand and promises TO comply with it.
fupon trial it shall be found that inius-
lice has been done TO any man entitled to
the protection Of this country the injustice
will doubtless be remedied in so far as
remedy is possible.

val at that place on December 80, 1881.

Journey after leaving the Jeannette June

A TRUE BLESSING.

1t would indeed be a blessing to poor
weak, nervous, debilitated, suffering hu-
mainly, if druggists would stop selling the
many vile purgative pills and cathartic CON-
pounds advertised for the cure of liver COM
plant. Although they afford temporary
relief, at the same time they weaken the
digestive organs, and compel continued
and increasing use OF. the same. Sufferers
from dyspepsia and liver complaint do not
need cathartic, but should use some true
medicinal tonic that will strengthen the
digestive organs, and heal the diseased It's
sues of the stomach, liver and bowels. Such
a remedy is Browns Iron Bitters, and II
never fails to effect a permanent cure. Ii
you continue to live in poor health, and are
determined to die before your time, you
have only yourself to blame.-Courier.

WEEKLY CHRONICLE.
American Women and Family Duties.

A gentleman writes to the 81. James
Gazette, London, the following letter on
the domestic condition of America:
1.-THE foot-note you quoted the other
day from Mr.. Goodwin Smiths paper IN
the Nineteenth Century, and your ar
ticle, Is the Family i'll Danger? are
calculated to give your readers an unfair
impression of American women and
their views of family duty Mr.. Goodwin
Smith might very well have qualified
his remarks by adding that the woman
suffrage movement, about which L offer
no opinion, is in small minority IN the
United States that. it has there much
less hold on the better classes than it has
here; that it has little hold at all on the
vast industrial and agricultural popula-
ton outside of great cities and that the
ideas which, rightly or wrongly, he at
tributes to its leaders as to matrlmony
and maternity are wholly repugnant to
the vast majority of American women.
In fact, his argument pointed to dangers
real or exaggerated the future, not
to the present state Of affairs. Though
my experience of America has not been
so long and continuous as Mr.. Goodwin
Smiths, l have been in America enough,
and have seen enough of the various as
poets of American society, to have some
right to an opinion. And have some
hope that / shall find Mr.. Goodwin
Smith agreeing with me when | say,
without hesitation, that nowhere can
family life, in its simple, honest affec-
tons, the cohesion of its members, the
sense of duty of husband and wife,
no
oped than in New England. And So
ciety in other parts of the States differs
from that in New England more In de-
grees of education and refinement than
in essential habits and principles. Any
one acquainted with American society
knows, for instance, that young married
women live much simpler, more whole
some life than they do in London draw
ing rooms, and give more of their time
to home life, to their husbands and chill
dren, and less to social engagements,
than they do i'll England. The statistics
of the writer in the Century may show
that the relaxation of the divorce law in
some of the States has been unsatisfac-
tory as leading to capricious breaking
up of the marriage tie for unsubstantial
reasons in certain classes OF American
society. The fact, however, remains that
the grosser scandals of married life
which the Divorce Court too frequently
reveals III the higher circles of English
society are strikiDgly rare in families of
similar position in America.
81 shall be glad to be permitted thus
to state what think is the true state of
the case, because many readers who do
rot kpou, 4 marico than Sa1vac MIGHT ba
led by the extract and your article to
hasty and unjust concentrations which
would have about as much solid founda-
ton as similar cancellations suggested
some years ago by the brilliant lucubra-
tons of that industrious book-maker,

Last Wishes.

Some eccentric people trouble them
selves greatly concerning the disposition
of their bodies after death. An English
woman bequeathed a surgeon $1,000
on condition that he should once i'll every
year look upon her face, two witnesses
being present. Another lady, of an
economical turn of mind, desired that if
she should die away from home, her re-
mains, after being placed in coffin,
should be enclosed in plain deal box,
and conveyed by goods train to her ma
tive town. &C. Let no mention" she states,
''be made of contents, as the conveyance
will not then be charged more for than
an ordinary package. " A French traveller,
recently deceased, desired to be buried
in large leather trunk to which he was
attached, as it chad gone around the
world with him three times" and an
English clergyman and Justice Of the
Peace, who, at the age of twenty-three
had married a girl of thirteen, desired
to be buried in an old chest he had Sc
lected for the purpose. In the matter of
burial too, all sorts of whimsical notions
are cherished. One man wished to be
inferred with the bed on which he had
y
far from the haunts of man, where ma
ture may "smile upon his remains"
and third bequeathed his corpse for
dissection, after which it was to be put
into deal box and thrown into the river.
One man does not wish to be buried at
all, but gives his body to gas company,
| to be consumed to ashes in one of their
retorts, adding that should the supersti-
ton of the times prevent the fulfilment
of his bequest, his executors may place
his remains in city cemetery, "to as
sist in poisoning the living in that neigh.
borhood. " A person may approve
himself of cremation, but it is g
little hard when he requires his relatives
to approve of it also. In cases of this
kind, it cannot be incumbent upor
friends to regard the last wishes of the
dying.
