Excursion to Lakeside.

Sixty-five persons went from Wellington
to Lakeside or Putin Bay last Thursday.
1t was not a promising morning which
fact kept many at home, and the day was
showery, windy and disagreeable until to-
ward night when it became more pleasant
The lake partook of the general distur-
bance of the elements, and small proper
ton of the passengers that crowded the
steamer Jay Cooke succumbed to "diZzi-
ness in the stomach" and the more fortu-
nate were obliged to stagger and catch at
supports in an undignitied way in their
moving about. 1t was rough and squally
when we reached Lakeside, and passen-
gers were given fair warning that if they
left the boat they were liable to have to
remain as the condition of the weather
and water made it improbable that they
could make that dock later in the day.
Mothers who had left babies at home, and
men whose business demanded a speedy
return were thus intimidated to stick to
the boat, while others concluded that if it
was going to be so stormy as that they
would rather be left than not, and risked
their chances of getting home. 1t contin-
ued to grow rougher and the boat upon its
return could not safely come up TO the
Lakeside dock, but made for the lower or
Fox's landing. The crowd who were anx-
iously watching her and shaping their
course accordingly, did not readily inter
pret all her movements, and when after
the first attempt to effect landing with
the lower dock she went in the opposite
direction, the animated marching and
counter marching of the passengers on
shore trying to keep up with her, was very
edifying to their friends on board. Fin
ally when the connection was made, it
took three or four hands to assist every
woman on board the dipping and rolling
craft, but the sail TO Huron was delight
full, and our party reached home well
pleased with their excursion.

Reunion at Carlisle.

The soldiers of Wellington were very
handsomely invited to attend the 4th
annual reunion of "Soldiers and Sailors
Of Lorain County" at Elyria, O., and
was responded to by about 40 old sol
diers who chartered q car, and took in
enough citizens to swell their num-
Der to about 60. Arriving at Elyria we
found no one who could tell us where
the reunion was to be held, SO fell in
line and marched to the Public Square.
making frequent inquiry where said re-
union was TO take place. Finally an
enterprising boy said ''that way" point
ing in the direction of Carlisle. We
then started for Carlisle, and after
marching some distance we met a"Scout'
who kindly piloted Us TO Camp Gear
lisle", while there we were made quite
welcome, ''over the left" The day was
spent in tramping about in the mud try
ing to "kill time" and occasionally list
ming to remarks from Capt. J. II. Hord,
the president, who was the principal
speaker of the day, as neither Major
Mckinley or Gen. Edgarton the adver-
tised speakers were present. The din
ner reminded us OF the man who had
been charged big price for poor din
ner. who after leaving town telegraphed
back to the landlord that he still thought
the beanswere too high. The arrangement
for the disposal of the flags was simply
= farce, as only one OF two delegations
snderstood how or when the affair was
to be determined, until too late. We
predict other parts of the county will be
heard from in this direction. Perhaps
the Treasurer can or will explain in his
report where the $500 raised by the cit
liens of Elyria was used.
One or two more reunions of this kind
and the "Lorsin County Soldiers and
Sailors Reunions" will be numbered
among the things that were.

The Bondage Of English Women.

Marriage means slavery-notwith-
standing the song of 1896, which claims
that .'the wife of every Englishman is
counted blessed" She is blessed if the
Engiishman be a good fellow, but
cursed If he be otherwise.
How dreadful may be the conse-
quences of scandalous legislation was
shown several years ago in the case of
Susannah Palmer, who could not obtain
q legal order to receive her own earn
ings. although her husband kicked her,
knocked her teeth down her throat,
committed every possible outrage on
her and her children, robbed her and
then turned her out into the street, Had
the noble creature deserted his family,
the law at the end of two years could
have given the wife the order necessary
for her existence. Desertion is absence
without cause for two years and upward;
but what brute is idiotic enough TO
desert woman whom he can pound and
torture to his bad hearts content. and
whose money will supply him with gin
and beerP
A wife's clothes and ornaments,
owned by the husband during her life
time, become her property after his
death, provided they are not seized by
his creditors. There is, however, one
magnanimous provision for which
married women can not be too grateful.
A widow is not bound to bury her dead
husband. That duty falls upon his legal
representative. Upon judicial sepa-
ration, all the property subsequently,
acquired by the wife becomes her own.

The Picnic.


The picnic given by the Catholic Society
on the Fair Grounds, yesterday, was at
tended, if not by a numerous, by a throng
exceedingly generous. 1t was a success,
more than hundred dollars having been
realized. The oil painting which was
raffled was, with evident delight and ap-
probation, won by A. NJ. Fitch, Esq. The
most Interesting feature of the occasion,
however, was the contest for Parian
marble bust of President Garfield, num-
ber of popular citizens being at first in the
field. After few ballots Hon. r. A.
Horr's name was presented and soon led
in the race, although the contest was ex-
citing and well maintained. When the
polls were closed twas found he had won
by majority Of 45 votes. The presenta
ton is to be made by a committee consist
ing of Father Calvin and one or two other
gentlemen.
Father Calvin desires most kindly to
thank friends and attendants for their
presence and good wishes. **

The "Bes Lines" What it is. New
Equipment, etc.


A "Bee Line" is the shortest route between
two given points, and this is what the ''Bee
Line" people claim to have between the great
cities or the East, West and South; over the
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati 81 Indian
spolis Railway, the Indianapolis and St
Louis Railroad and the Dayton & Union R. R.
with lines of through cars without change
between Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati,
Indianapolis and st. Louis.
For the benefit OF all travellers and resi-
dents of towns and cities along its Lines the
"Bee Line" management are now running on
all its trains new coaches which in our opin-
ion, cannot be excelled for elegance and
comfort The cars are forty-ive feet long,
set on standard trucks with the Allen paper
wheels, steel tire, (same as used by the Pull
sleeping cars.) The latest pattern, westing-
house air and automatic brakes, Miller Plat
form with safety chain and hooks.
Inside the finish is all solid mahogany,
twenty six seats with reversible backs, ,Iphol-
stored in plain French cherry colored plush,
with springs in cushions and backs; the win
dows are of large French plate glass and
double BLINDS. In one end of the coach, in
addition to the ladies' and gentlemens' toilet
rooms, the Company have placed a wash
room with marble basin, and a large plate
glass mirror, and in which at all times pat
rons of the line will find towels and soap
furnished them by the Company free of cost.
In winter the cars are warmed by Baker S
Smith patcn: heaters with pipes running un-
der the seats. With the most perfect ventil-
alton, and neat, tasty appearance of the whole
interior one feels that travelling by rail is no
longer a burden but pleasant and desirable
recreation.
That the people along the line will appre-
ciate the new departure of this enterprising
Company, VIC have no doubt

Our Lakeside Correspondence.

LAKEsIDE, O., Aug. IA, 1882.
To the Editor Of the ENTERPRISE
The camp meeting closes to-day.
During the past week religious services
have been held almost continuously.
From half past five in morning until ten
at night the time has all been occupied.
Rev. Thomas Harrison until his depart
ure was the chief attraction. The aud
itorium was always filed when it was
known that Mr.. Harrison would conduct
the service. There was no perceptible
decrease of interest when the boy
preacher departed Under the efficient
management of Rev William Taylor and
DIR. Lowry the wheel was kept revolving
at the former speed. Rev. Taylor is
widely known as the evangelist who has
done such wonders in California. This
man, more than any other living person
has spread the gospel in foreign lands.
The efforts of the workers were rewarded
by many conversions.
The Germans also close to-day the
most successful csmpimeeting they have
ever held at Lakeside. Many who are
widely known in German Methodism
have taken part.
As had been anticipated, yesterday
was the great day. We should hate to
say of camp meeting that in several
respects it resembles county fair. 1t
was only the promenaiing and the groups
gathered about the dinner baskets thst
carried US back to scenes gone by.
The steamers Jay Cooke. B. F. Ferris
and R. B. Hayes brought excursionists
from Sandusky City and neighboring
towns. We have no way Of estimating
the number present. We may safely
say that there were several thousands on
the grounds. DR.. Fitzgerald preached
both morning and evening. Rev. T.
Warner delivered the afternoon sermon.

Letter From Mackinac.
MAcKINAc ISLAND.

''Beauteous Isle! sing OF thee,
Thy Lakebound shores love to see,
From Arch Rocks height and shelving steep
To western cliffs and Lovers Leap,
Where memories of the lost one sleep.
Thy northern shores trod British foe,
That day saw gallant Holmes laid low,
Now Freedoms flag above thee wave
And guards the rest Of fallen braves,
Their requiem sung by Huron's waves"

The Complaint of Labor.

The agitation going on at the East
among the laboring classes is awakening
earnest attention, and the Eastern press
is tseming with articles on the subject.
The very temperance and absence OF
violent language which are marked
features of the frequent meetings of the
different trades render the movement all
the more serious. At these meetings
the gist of the speeches is that the en-
ployed are not receiving fair play at the
hands of the employer, and that it is
absolutely necessary for labor to take
steps to defend itself against the DOM
ineering tyranny of capitol. While
those speeches frequently contain exag-
gerated Statements of the case, perhaps
the greater part of them are logical, and
the speakers handle the subject earnest
ly and in a manner showing full
knowledge of the situation. These men
assert that the incomes earned by large
employers, such as railroads and tele-
graphs, are subjected to taxation for the
sole benefitof the Goulds and Vanderbilts.
One of their strong points is the contrast
drawn between the celebrated bank box
of Mr.. Gould, which was said by him
to contain more than fifty millions of
dollars in securities, and the fact that the
wages of men employed by him on the
Wabash road were at the time one and
two months in arrears, and that the cred-
itors were unable to obtain any satisfac-
tory promise concerning their payment.
These men, who form the very foun-
dation on which the security of the ma
tional civilization and prosperity rests,
are, in short, mere playthings in the
hands of few selfish monopolists. 1t
requires no extended argument to show
that this state of affairs is wrong, while
it is equally clear that something must
be done to effect change in the pres
ent relations existing between the work
ing people and the gambler who has
accumulated vast fortune by means of
direct contributions from the labor of
the former. Otherwise our national
prosperity will decline, and even our ma
tional existence be put in jeopardy.

Hurricanes.
[Atlantic.[

In the season of hot weather in the
central part of the Mississippi valley,
there often come SUGGESTIONS of DAYS
when the atmosphere is not stirred by
the winds, but remains as still as the
air of cave. Despite the steady gain
in the heat, the sky stays cloudless, or
at most is fecked by those light clouds
that lie five miles or more above the sur
face of the earth. All nature seems
cowed beneath the fervent heat, yet
there is nothing of distinct portent in
earth or air. At last, toward evening,
there may be seen a sudden curdling of
the western sky; in few minutes the
clouds gather, coming from nowhere,
growing at once into the lurid air. In
less than half an hour the forces of the
storm are organized, and its dreadful
advance begins. If we were just be-
meath the gathering clouds we should
find that the air over space mile or
so in diameter was spinning around in
great whirlpool, and while the
great revolving mass slowly ad-
vanced, the central part moved rap
idly upward Beginning slowly, all
the movements of the storm, the whirl-
ing action, the vertical streaming of the
air, its onward movement, all gain
speed of motion with astonishing rapid
ity. In a minute or two some cubic
miles of air are in state of intense
gyratory movement, mounting upward
as violently as the gases over volcano.
To replace this strong whirling uprush,
there is strong indraught from every
side toward the center of the whirling
wind; and as this center moves quickly
forward, the rush of air is strongest
from behind towards the advancing hur-
ricane. The rate at which the storm
goes forward is very variable, though it
is generally as much as forty to one hun
dred miles an hour; but this is not the
measure of its destructive power. The
rending effect of the storm is much
greater than would be given by a
simple blast of air moving at this
speed. Much of this peculiar capacity
for destruction may perhaps be due to
the gyratory motion of the wind in the
storm center, which on one side of the
whirlwind adds the speed arising from
its circular movement to the translatory
velocity of the whirlwind itself. After
the storm is once developed, it seems
very quickly to acquire its maximum of
destructive power and its speed of trans
lation. At the outlet and during the
period of most efficient action, the strip
of country affected is generally very mar
row, not often exceeding a mile in width
as the storm advances the path seems
gradually to grow WIDER until at last it
fades into an ordinary thunderstorm, or
dies into calm.

Mr.. Arthur's Explanation.

1t is now said that, in point of fact,
the President really signed the anti
Chinese bill on Saturday, but his having
done so was not made known at the
time owing to his desire to send the bill
to the House of Representatives accom-
panied by an Explanatory message" !"
On more mature reflection, however,
Mr.. Arthur decided that no explana-
tory message was necessary. For pub
lie information it is given out that the
cutting down of the period of restric-
tion from twenty years to ten removed
any conscientious scruples which pre-
viously may have agitated the Presiden-
tial mind, and, that while Mr.. Arthur
would have desired changes in some of
the other clauses of the bill, at the same
time he recognized the fact that with
the shaping of legislation the executive
power has no concern, while it is as
plainly his duty not to oppose measure
desired by the people merely because its
provisions are not precisely such as he
might have wished.
1t is a pity that the explanatory
message" did not accompany the bill;
its perusal would have been interesting
in the extreme. Yet, as Mr.. Arthur
an explanation is not neces-
sary; his motives are perfectly evident
to every one. Moreover, although Mr..
Arthur does not in the least resemble
certain predecessor of his, who could
not tell fib, nor even Mr.. Mark Twain,
who can but will not, some faint recol-
lection of parental teachings may have
him in the happy thought
which induced him to refrain from con-
tradicting himself, to put it mildly, in
black and white.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-05-12
A House Divided.

No political party can exist when it
ceases to live up to its principles. Mr..
Wayne MacVeagh, Attorney General in
the Cabinet of the late President, and a
leading Republican of Pennsylvania, in
q speech made at meeting of the Civil
Service Association held recently at
Philadelphia, speech which we COM
mented on at the time, said that the Re-
publican party had but three principles,
and that one of these was "bossism."
The nominations made by Boss Came
ron at Harrisburg on Wednesday, have
caused the abandonment of the princi-
pie of "bossism by the anti-Stalwart
wing of the party, which, under the
lead of Senator Mitchell, will proceed
to nominate ticket of its own. A
house divided against itself, we are told,
can not stand, and, under the circum-
stances, it does not call for the intervep-
ton of prophet to know what the re-
suit will be in the Pennsylvania election.
The off year will be a pretty good
one after all.
