the share capital-a much larger ratio than
the private dealer realizes, the greater profit
arising from the fact that the cooperative
stores are not required to go to any expense
to get Or retain custom, and that their bust
ness is SO regular that they need suffer very
little from dead stock. In 1861 there were
80 English societies. with IS, 1874 member 8,
doing annual trade amounting to about
seven and half million dollars. In ten
years the number of members and sales in
creased fvefold, and the capital was nearly
doubled. In the next decade the member
ship doubled the capital increased threefold
and the sales to moro than half q million
members amounted in 1880 to $500, 900, 600
These are the figures given in returns to the
government of actual business. Scotland
has large number of societies in proportion
to it's population, but they do not seem to
flourish in Ireland. Indeed it is only in GER
tain parts of England that they reach their
highest development, in communities where
the members ara we'll known to each other.
The Parliamentary returns show that coun-
ties where cooperation prevails have the
smallest percentage of pauperism.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has written
the following concerning t'Uncle Tom to the
Indianapolis Times:
In reply to your inquiries I will say that
the character of Uncle Tom was not the bi
ography of any one man. The first sugges
ton of it came to me while in Walnut Hills.
Ohio. I wrote letters for my colored cook
to her husband, a slave in Kentucky. She
told me he was SO faithful his master trusted
him to come alone and unmatched to Cincin-
natl to market his farm produce. Now this,
according to the laws of Ohio, gave the man
his freedom, since if any master brought or
sent his slave into Ohio he became free de
facto. But she said her husband had given
his word as Christian to his master that he
would not take advantage of the law-his
master promising him his freedom. Whether
he ever got it or not know not.
1t was some four or five years after when
the Fugitive Slave law made me DESTROYS of
showing what slavery was. that conceived
the plan of writing the history of faithful
Christian slave. After I had begun the DRY
got at the Anti-Slavery rooms in Boston
troduced some of its most striking incidents
into my story. The good people of England
gave my simple, good friend Josiah enthusi
astic welcome as the Uncle Tom of the story,
although he was alive and we'll, and likely
long to live, and the Uncle Tom of the story
was buried in martyrs grave. So much in
reply to your inquiries. I trust this plain
statement may prevent my answering any
more letters on this subject

Complaint is made that absentee landlord
ism threatens to injure Canada as it has in
jured Ireland. The Toronto Globe says that
the corporations allowed to secure large tracts
of land charge excessively for their property.
One land company asks So per acre for land
which can be matched in Dakota at $3 to $5

Dakota the preference. The rumor that

brighter. In all the southern counties last

much better than was anticipated. It has
turned out that the heavy rains of June and

Mr.. John Bright has been asked by Man
chester gentleman to define his position in
regard to war, and has made reply. He
says he believes that all the English wars
since the time of William III. might have
been avoided on principles which do not re-
quire the absolute condemnation of war in
every possible case that can be suggested or
imagined "The policy and aspect of our
country and the world" he adds, twill be

in which there seems to Christian and ra-
tional men no escape from the naiseries it
intiicts upon mankind"

Many who have been lucky enough to es
cape poverty think that nobody needs to be
poor, and that there is always enough for
those who are willing to work. At O recent
gathering of the London missionaries of the
Established Church twenty-six out of the
twenty mine present said, in answer to a care
fully prepared question, that they did 'of
their own personal knowledge know of in
dustrious, temperate, prudent people. whose
misfortunes could not be charged to their
own fault or folly, lacking enough to eat"
One went on to say that nothing was more
common than for an Industrious, temperate
workman, who had been out of work for any
time, to fall sick soon as he obtained work
again, his strength having been sapped by
under nourishment

The Supreme court of California has
granted a new trial in the case of man con-
victed of murder in the second degree on
the ground that the jury drank so much beer,
etc, during the trial as to unfit them for
proper and serious deliberation of the evil
dence. The trial lasted eight days, and it
was shown that during that time four five
gallon kegs of beer, five gallons of wine, ten
bottles of claret and considerable whisksy
were purchased by the jury at their own OK
pense and consumed by them without the
knowledge of the court
