Temperance has been for many years
one of the leading public questions and has
enlisted the the service OF many of the
best men aud women OF the State. Pro-
hibitiOn has been prominent 10 the politics
OF The State; aud, after an active agitation
through many years, the Maine Law Was
sdOpts 10 1851. The evidence is unmis-
taxable that majority Of our people favor
the policy Of prom 7ltiOu, and there are
few localities which do not favor wise
aud impartial enforcement OF all law re-
lating thereto. There has undoubtedly
been a difference OF opinion among good
and conscientious citizens ia regard TO
the best mode Of eradicaring intempersnce,
but there are few who are unwilling 20 ad-
init that there has been a wonderful
change for tue better in public sentiment

The Perkins Windmill.

Windmills are coming into extensive
use in this vicinity for furnishing water
to dwellings and stock. The Perkins
mill is among those being introduced. 1t
is claimed to be the most durable and the
strongest in the market. Mr.. A. o. Snow
of Brandon, the agent for this State. has
shown them at the fairs this fall and
has erected several in the county. The
following, from the jackson (Mich. }
Patriot. sets forth some of the eXcellen-
ces of the mill. The article is headed
Another Triumph at the State Fair for
the Farmers Favorite:' -
1t will be remembered by readers ofthe Patrio,
that j. ID. Price, of this city, exhibited last year
two of the celebrated Perkins windmills, Tor
which he is agent, and that it was thoroughly
demonstrated then that they 0Ncelled all others.
During the first three days of the fair last year it
was noticed that the Perkins would begin run
ming one or two hours earlier in the morning
than its competitors, and in the evening it could
be seen in motion two or three hours alter its
neighbors had ceased their labors. similar
state of things was witnessed at the exhibition
last week. A good portion of the time there was
scarcely breeze, but yet the Perkins was hardly
ever found idle. In fact while every one of the
other eight or ten mills in close proximity were
| at a standstill the Perkins could be seen in mo-
tion-nlt by two men operating device attached
| below-Dut by the almost imperceptible breeze
which kept the wheel in motion. This ease of
running is of course attributable to no other
| cause than to the superior mode of construction,
| the varions parts of the mill being SO devised
and adapted to each other that it operates with
| the greatest ease and under the most adverse
circumstances. Last year Mr.. Perkins made a
sale of nine OF the Perkins mills upon the ground
during the State fair This year he sold ten to
parties who witnessed the various mills in Oper-
alton side by side and were convinced of the SUI
perority of the Perkins. The purchasers are as
| follows: Geo. Weldon, Parma; Cyrus Cowan,
Parma; Nj. T. Smith, Rives; BENZ. Couston,
Henrietta; John Rush, Leslie; John w. Dewey,
Cambridge, Lenawee county; Oscar McLauth,
Onondaga, Ingham county; Martin French. Bur
| lington, Calhoun county; j. Clemens, Bath,
Ingham county; VIM. ii. Cornelius, Tecumsch,
| Lenawee county.
Since Mr. Price commenced handling the Per
kins Wind Mill IN 1876 he has met with unpreced-
cntcd success In their sales and although he is u
good salesman and good business man, the uu.
precedented sales of this mill are due mainly Ia
its simplicity ami superiority of construction in
every respect. II gives perfect satisfaction to all
who use it, and in neigbborhood where one has
been put up and tested other sales quickly follow
with little or no effort on the part of Mr.. Price

Miss Frances Il. Willard, president of
the National Woman's Christian Temper
| once union, arrived i'm town on Saturday
afternoon, and during her stay here was
| a guest at Dr. Eddy's. Saturday even
| ing reception in her honor was given at
President Hamlin's. 1t was very largely
attended and II pleasant affair. Sunday
evening Miss Willard spoke i'm the Con
grcgational church. The audience was
greater than the house could accommo-
date and seats had to be placed in the
aisles. The address was forcible and al
times eloquent. She believes in mora
suasion rather than too much dependence
upon the law in bringing about the de-
sired reform. Her manner is graceful
and easy and her diction clear ant
straightforward.
Minnie Foster, an actress of promi

Wednesday evening, October 3, in Mad
cap The Brooklyn Duly Union says
"A new sensational play was produced
at the Park last evening. in which the
principal part was taken by the favortt
little soubrette artistic, Miss Minnie Eos
ter. who is engaged rs the special star o
the Park theatre for the present week
The play is entitled 'Madcap,' and its gen
eral purport is the saving of an eXcellen
family from ruin, which treachcrou
villain, who has gained foothold in it
designs to involve it in by younge
daughter, Madcap,' who by her hero
ism is called the household angel ant
fairly earns the title. Miss Foster per
forms with spirit and vivacity, being
young lady of petite figure and pleasing
appearance; her makeup is most excel
lent. In the sequel the 'Madcap' tri
umphs over all, and is transformed into
the real SAVIOR of the household. Every
body is thrilled with agreeable emotion,
at the vindication of virtue and the down
fall of villainy. The play last evening
highly approved itself to the large audi
encc present."

that has come 70 her In these last years,
and her consciousness OF IL, have laid up
on her still stronger bonds to sever. and
the bondage is--love. ''I1e shall be like a
tree" the psalmist sang of the highest
type of the race. Let girl grow as a
tree grows" said Miss Wiliard's excel
lent mother, who held that the measure
of each human beings endowment was
the only reasonable measure of that hui
man beings sphere. The wide spreading
elm that lifts its fearless face to heaven
was never grown in box or clipped by
conventional pruning knives. Both of
Miss Wizards parents were natives of
Caledonian county, VT. She counts
among her ancestors many of revolution
airy fame. One of the Willards was
president of Harvard University, one a
pastor of Old South church, and another
the architect of Bunker Hill monument.
Mrs. Emma Willard, the distinguished
educator (once of Middlebury), is of this
family. The following sketch is from
Johnson's CycIopndia: Frances f..
willard was graduated at the North
Western Female college in 1853, became
directress of the Genesee Wesleyan SEM
mary at Lima. n. Y, in 1867 and was
chosen president of the Evanston college
for ladies in 1871. In lS69--7l she travel
ed in Europe. Egypt and Palestine. She
is the author of biography called
nineteen Beautiful Years. and has
contributed to various periodicals, Hdr-
pers Monthly, The Independent, etc. She
is a type of the larger and diviner wO-
manhood which our land shall yet pro-
duce and which all lands shall call the
| fittcst."
