does not move.
A YOUNG man in New York deserted
his wife and three children in order Il
run away with his mother-in-law. This
Conkling state beats the world fol
furnishing fool tricks.
The Friends have repealed the law
forbidding the marriage Of first cousins
An unwise thing to do, for there are
enough darlings on earth outside oil
cousinship, and enough lunatics with.
out mixing blood with view to their
increase.
THE last congress ordered the publ
cation of the names of individuals pen
stoned by the government, and this list
will be open for the inspection of all, so
that the name of the impOstOr, the
wretch who through Misrepresentation
has secured pension that is only in
tended to support those who bear honor
able scars, hOnOrably received i'm an
honorable conflict can be read. No one
has as much right to the Nations protec-
tiOn and support as those who fought her
battles, and no impOstOr needs exposing
more than one who would use unfair
means to obtain pension that means
certain mark of honor.
TELEGRAPH operators in their bill of
grievances demand that both sexes shall
receive equal pay for equal work. This
is a just requirement, involving the
principle of fair dealing TO all, and is
sure to obtain in the near future i'm all
departments of labor. There is no reason
why the same quality and quantity Of
work performed under the same circum-
stances, should not receive the same
pay. 1t nevertheless remains true that
man is more available for certain kinds
of work than women, yet this should
not prevent her from receiving justice
wherever she gives her talent and work,
and anything less than equal pay for
equal work is robbery.
EUROPEANS think Americans prOfuse
in praise of everything that is American
and yet, strange as it may appear, these
foreigners themselves confirm our ideas
and estimates concerning our prOduc-
tions. Take the American girl, so
severely criticised and condemned for
uncOuthness and other imperfections,
she stands to-day the leader, throughout
civilization, for personal attractions,
correct manners, and polite behavior,
captivating whom she will by her own
superior accomplishments of body and
mind, making her decidedly the most
perfect piece of humanity granted this
earth. The London Truth thus compli-
ments that bewitching creation, the
American girl;
"Since American girls have become
part of the life of European watering
places, they have made sad havoc with
the privileged supremacy of their
English sisters. So facinating, indeed,
have been the winning manners and
elegant attire of the American girls at
TrOuville this season, that the English
women at that famous summer resort
have become nightly enraged, and have
resolved to taboo them, even as New
ports naughty danes threaten to taboo
the most beautiful of English women"
THERE is a possibility that cholera
will visit this country, if it reaches
European ports. Too much precaution
cannot be taken against the fearful
scOurge, and it is time, in view Of its
ravages along the Nile, that American
cities were diligent in preparing against
this destroying angel. The government
should rigidly enforce exclusion CT
vessels from the Mediterranean, and
complete system of quarantine over
goods, baggage, persons, and vessels in
anywise suspected, while every city,
town and family should adopt severe
measures for protection. There is no
time to loose. Now is the time for action
in this matter. The condition of Gel
lars, yards, alleys, and streets, should be
made absolutely clean. Juniper trees,
berries, and tar should be burned in
dwellings, attention should be paid to
diet, and everything done that common
sense would dictate as essential to clean
illness, and helpful in preparing the con-
stitutiOn to throw off disease. There is
too much filth in Cheboygan for the
most healthy period, and in view of the
