1t will he remembered that a few
weeks ago, Gov. Butler of Massachu-
sets, in his wrath, attempted to re
move Mrs Leonard, a worthy member
of the state board of Health, Lunacy
and Charity, on the pretended ground
that in the eyes of the law she, being
n woman, was not ''person"-the law
calling for board of so many "per-
sons" The real ground however was
because Mrs. Leonard would not be
swcrved from her convictions of right
by any ''persuasions' of the Governor.
The case was taken to the supreme
court and that body declares Mrs.
Leonard to he a member of the board.
Thus another assault of the great Ben
Butler on IL woman has failed.
The awful butchery of the Ruddy
family i'll the quiet and peaceful town
of Laconia, n. H., on Saturday last,
passes all comprehension. Any ade-
quate motive seems to he wanting as
yet. The supposition that Samon butch
cred an entire family, Including a
baby,) against whom he had no grudge,
because they would not assist in the
cOncealment of former crime, is the
only motive yet offered. Whatever
the reason was, these single, double
and triple murders are getting alarm
ingly frequent. Is not the laws delay
and the uncertainty of any adequate
punishment for crime against the per
son, one great cause Let speedy and
sure justice be meted ont for murders
assaults, burglaries, and that class
of crimes, and we believe there will
he fewer of them.

Editorial Notes.

The New York Observer is advertised
been favorite family paper, and where
it has once been introduced into a
household it generally remains from
year to year. 1t is Il very large paper,
containing a great amount of family
and other useful reading. The letters
of the venerable and beloved DR..
Prime, which appear in nearly every
number, are alone of untold value to
the young men and young women of
America.
We have received several numbers
of bio Lewis's Monthly, new maya
zine, the first number of which ap-
peared in August. AS may be inferred
by those who know of the editor, this
magazine is devoted largely to physi-
cal culture and sanitary science. Our
readers do not need to be told over and
over again that one great need of our
times is the training of the body. Our
schools cram the head until our nation
is fast becoming a community of big
headed, stoop- shouldered invalids. Any
one who can elevate the physical
standard without detracting from the
mental or moral is benefactor. Pub

He will give his first lecture in this
place, Tuesday evening, Oct. %, in
Brackets Hall.
1t is with a good deal of pleasure
that the Ladies of the Congregational

lecturer to the people of River Falls.
The entertainment offered is of a
worthy kind, instructive, amusing,
and inyigorating. Last season he had
not a vacant night, so greatly were
his services in demand; and re-engage-
ment after re-engagement was asked
by many towns after furnishing one
course of lectures. This present week
he is finishing his second engage
ment in Oshkosh, this state. His
manager writes, IF we had six lee
ttrers like him we could fill all their

utation, and is universally endorsed
by pulpit, press. and lecture commit
tees. Wherever he goes he creates
perfect enthusiasm in his subject.
Over one thousand engagements could
not be filled last season. In connection
with bis lecture he exhibits perfect
museum of Chinese art and curiosities.
He will appear each night in elegant
costumes, having no equal for artistic
skill in this country. AS historian
of China he is unexcelled, and his wit
and humor place him in the front rank
Of the humorists of the day. He is a
thorough scholar, gentleman of re-
finement and culture, and in every
way worthy of our confidence and pat
ronage.
Beginning on Tuesday evening, Oct,
%, he will lecture each evening of the
week.
On Saturday afternoon he will give
matinee on the 'tBoys and Girls of
China for the benefit of the school
children.

The Dubuque Daily Herald,'' has
this to say about his lectures there:
TANK KEE AT THE TABERNACLE.
TANK KEE has wit as brilliant as
a meteor and fund of humor mex
Facts "dry as a bone
were juicy enough in his hands, and
although he lectured nearly two hours,
still his audience were "fresh as a
rose" and many were surprised when
looking at their watches at finding
that two hours of their life had slipped
so pleasantly by. .

his present position AS their land agent
at Livingston, and will shortly leave

No one who was ever in this city so
favorably impressed the people with
whom he was brought in contact as
TANK KEE, the Chinese lecturer. He
has wonderful nerve, quick insight
tact, and remarkable knowledge of
of men and things, showing that the
education of the Chinese universities
is not Il whit behind their more civil
lied competitors in the development
of all the manlier qualities. As far
as he is concerned himself his leet-
ures are simply wonderful. He pos
sesses a flow of humor aud wealth
of descriptive power that lightens up
the smallest incident and makes it in
teresting. In this respect his man
ner with an audience is fully equal to
Mark Twain, while he is above yield
ing to the temptation of saying a
smart thing merely to get laugh.
The walls of the church were cover
ed with paintings, charts and dia-
grams, and the platforms containing
gods, models of Chinese houses, and
other things necessary to give an idea
of the subject. Ills lectures We're
interesting and entertaining in the
highest degree.-PeOrid (W.) Journal.

A dairy COW produces seven times
her own live weight in milk yearly,
and half her weight in cheese, besides
a large amount of butter. The cheese
and butter are worth as food three
times as much as an equal weight of
beef. And this product is kept up for
ten years. The comparative value of
a DAIRY COW is then equivalent to a
beef animal of three times her weight
every year. and if such a steer could
be killed every year for ten years, it
would be worth as much as a cow and
no more. So that one COW is really
worth as producer of food, as much
as ten fat beeyes of $500 pounds each,
and her calves and her own beef at the
end of her useful life as thrown in
IOWd homestead.
