All heaven, In every baby born,
All absolute of earthly leaven,
Reveals itself, though man may ecorn
All heaven.
Yet man might feel all sin forgiven,
An grief appeased. all pain Outworn,
BY this one revelation given.
Soul, now forget thy burdens born;
Heart, be thy joys now seven times seven;
Love shows In light more bright than morn
All heaven.
A baby's feet, like sea-sholls pink,
Might temDt should heaven meet.
An angels lips to kiss we think,
A baby's feet.
Like rose. hued sea flowers toward the heat
They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet
No fiower-bells that expand and shrink
Clean half so heavenly sweet
As shine on life's untrodden brink
A baby's feet.

of the children had been knocked down by
a large game cock, which was striking tho
boy about the head with his spurs. The
mother drove off the game cock and res

His face was cut in a shocking manner.
The forehead was laid open to the bone in
several places. The game cock struck the
boy in the left eye, the spur entering the
socket between the ball and bone, pene-
trating over an inch. The boys eye was
put out, but it is thought his wounds will
NOT result fatally.

For Shame!

The most humiliating, shameful
thing in this whole struggle against
the liquor traffic is the attitude as
sumed and course pursued by many
professed Christians.
1t is bad enough, in all con-
science, to see them stand off and
not aid in the struggle against the
hosts of the liquor fend. But it is
a million fold worse for them to
take the side of this fiend, and &C
lively exert themselves to battle
and defeat those striving to free the
country from the ruinous effects of
the legalized whisky business.
There are some who do this.
They are not fictitious people, nor
men of straw, but real folks, and
church members at that. Some of
their class were found on the side
of the saloons in the election lately
held IN a certain Kanawha Valley
town. Four church members were
found on the license ticket for
Councilmen. Some of them had
one excuse for their course and
some of them had another.
1t is to be hoped their actions
proceeded from nothing worse than
a want of sense, and that when
they become wiser they will do bet.
ter, Still the spectacle was humil-
iating and their influence hurtful.
1t would do them good to hear the
comments on their course by the
saloon patrons, and even of the sa-
loon keepers, in whose interest they
were working. Isn't it annoying
that protested Christians : in
fact, any good men = will
allow themselves to be made
cats paws to further the in
terests of a few goddess, heartless
whisky sellers, whose whole end is
gain, regardless Of the sorrow, suf-
fering, degradation and death that
their business entails upon the
community? Why, in the name
of all reason, should not Chris
tians, and sober people generally,
at least let saloon keepers fight their
own battles? JUNIUs, JR.

DEAR FREEMAN About a week
ago we organized a Prohibition So
ciety at Highland,
Last Saturday evening we adopt
ed our Constitution; and elected
the following officers:
S. H. McGregor, President.
Silas McGregor, Vice President.
Emery Mckinney, Secretary.
Callie McGregor, Treasurer
Our object is to keep the people
informed in regard to the move
ments Of the Temperance work, and
to show the increasing evil of the
soul destroying and poverty MAX
ing "infernal stuff"
We have promised our people
temperance lectures without know
ing where to procure them. We hope
the State Temperance Committee
will not forget US in our endeavors
to procure speakers

Huntington Items.

The new City Council, elected by
the Republican party, in their first
business meeting stigmatized their
party by granting license to nine
teen persons to sell whisky.
Then, when it was scarcely pos
sible to demoralize, debauch and
disgrace the town any worse, they
passed an order to prevent anyone
from obtaining license hereafter,
without all the Council being pres
ent.
: Of course this order was intend
ed for nothing but a screen to con-
fceal their "true inwardness."
But while we are to be outraged
most shamefully by both the seller
and the guzzler of the fire of death
and hell, one of the city officials,
who has proved himself sufficient
to meet every emergency, comes
forward with Scriptural remedy
for our troubles.
He quotes from the 9th Psalm {:
''Fret not hysey because Of eua1 do
ers.'
We are told he advises temper
ance people to sit down, supinely
folding their arms, and live in
strict obedience to this Bible in
junction that is, according to has
Interpretation Of the Scripture. As
an individual, he claims to draw
a great deal of comfort from this
text.
Bible students might do well to
avail themselves of the benefit Of
this new phase of theology, start
ing in this city.
l fear the gentleman will have
to give another exegesis of his fay
orite text before he can make il
harmonic with all the other Scrip
lures.
Some new prohibition men have
fallen into ranks, recently.
Prof. Summers was elected
County Superintendent of Schools
Served him right, we think.

Matrimomy and Prohibition.
MARION, WETzEL Co.,
Nav 26,


ED. FREEMAN: On the evening
of May oath, at the residence of Mr..
John Koch, Woodland, Marshall
county, we had the honor and
pleasure of celebrating the mar
rage of Mr.. J. H. Harbisond and
Miss Eliza J. Koch.
The affair was most happy and
pleasant one throughout.
After an excellent supper and
an hours social enjoyment inter
spersed with music, the guests dis
persed with the best wishes for the
happy pair.
We had few copies of the FREE
MAN in our pocket; and by the way
our pocket is quite used to carrying
them. These we introduced to the
company resulting in two yearly
subscribers, the bridegroom as one
of them presenting his bride with
the FREEMAN as a wedding gift,
which was just the right thing to
do. We had secured two subscrib-
ers on our way, making four for the
evening.
Now we suggest to Brother min
listers who are sometimes needed at
weddings, that it were well always
to have the FREEMAN with you.
But let US say in conclusion that
favorable breezes are tanning the
temperance fires in Wetzel Co.
Prohibition is rapidly winning its
way and fast becoming the senti-
ment of the masses.

4 West Virginia1 Back TO his Old
Home
LEXINGTON, VA, May 25.

DEAR FREEMAN The election
here, yesterday, passed off quietly,
and nearly the entire Democratic
ticket was elected. One of my
scholars, years ago, was elected
sheriff. At some of the voting
places, old whisky put ia some of
his best licks, and sent dozen or
so home with black eyes and blast
ed regulations. Some twenty in
town and country have obtained
license to sell liquor, and its fruits
are manifest everywhere. The
yeung city of Roanoake has already
% licensed saloons. The people
will learn after awhile that the
Devil and whisky are in alliance
against them.
The commencement exercises of
Washington and Lee University
will begin on Sunday, June "a,
and will be, no doubt, the grandest
Commencement Exercises" ever
enjoyed by the College or Universe
ty.
My reception back to my old
home and people, has been all that
any one could desire. 1t has been
better, for me, than trip to Europe
and that, too, in more respects than
one. The railroads that have been
and are being built in this Valley
are causing money to flow very free
ly, and the times are pretty good"
with an unusually fine prospect
now for a good wheat crop.
The Natural Bridge Co. have ex-
pended already about 100000 in
improving the Bridge, and they
are still improving. 1t will be a
grand place for "grand folks" and
others, too, to spend the summer in
quietness, and get the benefit of
Cedar breezes, if they should be
fond of them.
The Baptist Church at the
Bridge badly needs new House of
Worship. The one they have is
very old and shabby, not to say
"rickety," and contrasts badly with
the surroundings. There are many
noble Baptists of Virginia who will
willingly help them when they 60
to work in earnest to help them
selves. Yours,
J. c. RICHARDSON.

The German Polar Commission
proposes to establish a scientific
observing station in Labrador, un-
der the charge of some of the Mo
ravian missionaries who live in
that country. This establishment
is designed to be supplementary
to the circumpolar stations, twelve
in number, which have been occu-
pied at points much nearer the
Pole by different nations cooperat-
ing in this way for the advance
ment of knowledge.

It's OF the FREEMAN to our home
nave dor e us much good. We adj
m1re our pluck and straightfor-
ware ness, and more than that, we
ao lnire your work and the noble
Iause in which you are engaged.
while you are endeavoring to
spread the truth and protect the
homes of the people, others are
equally vigilant in spreading de-
vastaten and misery, and they
have the audacity to say so, by
their actions in the Legislative
halls.
/ dc hope that every temperance
man will remember those who vot-
ed against US in the last Legisla-
ture. mean by this, never to
vote for them again. My dear tenn
perance friends, let us put our
hands to the pillow and not look
back, but keep pushing forward in
this good work of delivering our
sons from a drunkard's grave, O!
how sad it is, to see young men who
bic fair for life, running them
selves
want to say this to the young
men who read this: Keep away
from the saloon! Never be caught
in one!
Dear FREEMAN, I hope the time
will soon come when we will be
delivered from the evils Of the traf-
ic.
1t has been said that Jackson
county does not allow any whisky
sold. But it is sad mistake. We
have men who will carry it from
Charleston by the jug-full, and sell
it by the glass. True, the County
Commissioners do not grant any
licenses to sell, and I am glad they
don't, for it would be q great deal
worse than it is. We have one
saloon just across the hill from
where we live, selling beer and
whisky by the glass. Some of our
young men work hard all week for
SOC day, and 60 to the saloon on
Saturday night and spend the last
cent of their money. One young
man was made drunk and then
robbed of his money. We hope
this nuisance will be attended to
by our next Grand Jury.

Snug Harbors for scamen.

From a special telegram to the Chica-
go Inter Ocean, from Washington, we
learn that Representative Mclean, of
Missouri, has prepared a bill which he
will shortly introduce in the House, pro-
viding for the establishment, under the
Supervising Surgeon General of the
Marine Hospital service, of four nation
al snug harbors for seamen. 1t Is pro-
posed to locate these harbors in the
northern, southern, eastern, and west
ern sections of the country, in order to
encourage American seamen, and to pro-
vide for such as become aged, helpless,
and disabled. The expenses for the
maintenance of these institutions are to
be paid from the marine hospital fund,
and a seaman to be eligible to the
benefits is to be required to produce evil
dence of service on United States yes
sci not less than FIVE years. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury, by the terms of
the bill, is authorized to purchase the
sites and cause the necessary buildings
to be erected, the plans of which are to
be prepared by the Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury. alr
We trust the bill will become law.
The occupation of sailor is a very haz-
ardOus one, and as class they are not
very provident, engaged for only por-
tion of the year, and then often at mea-
ger pay, they fail to lay by store for
old age. During the time they are en-
gagged they pay hospital dues and from
this source large sum is derived, much
greater than is expected in providing
treatment for the sick or disabled, in
the marine hospital, and we think in ex-
pending this surplus in providing homes
for them in their old age, the govern,
ment will be doing very wise thing,
and no more than is justly due those en-
gagged in the calling.

esWhat,s In a Name,

Our cotemporary seems to take excep-
tiOn to the name Aftermath" adopted
by the young peoples society of the Con-
gregational church. The name is in
very common use by such societies and
is interpreted as meaning "glea ming
after" and in this sense is very appro-
pirate in connection with such society,
as the efforts are secondary to the regu-
lar organization, in aiding and support
ing the church. But give it the literal
Interpretation as they say, "our diction-
ary makes it stand for second crop Of
grass and wherein 1t is inappropriate?
Does not the bible say: "All flesh is as
grass" then certainly the young people
cannot be considered the first crop, and
hence the "greenness and freshness Is
all the imagination Of the editor.

A Series of Accidents Reported I'm
Crossing the Straits-Tw0 Men Re-
ported DrOwaed.
One of our citizens who came down
from Mackinaw City this morning re-
ported rumOr that Louis P. Trempe, jr.
the well-knOwn clerk of the propeller
Ste. Marie, was lost while crossing the
straits yesterday. We get the following
particulars by telegraph. Mr.. Trempe
started across from st. Ignace with a
team yesterday morning, and neither
have been seen or heard from since, and
as the ice was very treacherous, grave
fears are entertained that Mr.. Trempe
and team broke through and are drown
ed. Although there is possibility that
they may have got bewildered in the
storm, and taking wrong direc-
tion have reached shore in some
other locality. We hope the latter may
be true. MI. Trempe made many ac-
quaintances during his numerous visits
to our port on the steamer Ste. Marie
and should it prove that he is drowned,
all will regret the sad loss.
The mail carriers team broke through
yesterday. and team and mail were lost.
The loss of man between Mackinac and
Ignace is also reported, name not known;
also horse drawing dynamite to re-
lease the Algomah was drowned. Teams
were crossing in safety this forenoon.
The Algomah was still stuck, with
no prospect of her crossing to-day.

A Good Sea BOal.

The sea-going qualities of the A. G.
Van Raalte are well known. The fol-
lowing story, while it may be somewhat
"fishy," all must cOncede is to the point
as illustrating her good qualities in this
respect. On one of her trips up the
north shore she encountered very
severe blow but she kept on her way,
blowing through the waves, some of
which completely drenched her. A gen.
tleman who was on board came down on
the lower deck during the storm and
there discovered two fine specimens
of white fish, and turned to one of the
hands and asked
"JOhn, where did these fish come
frOm?"
"Well, don't know,the fireman threw
them up out of the fire hole few min
utes ago, and said they came down the
smoke stack"

The salt Well.

The work at the salt we'll continues
to progress very satisfactorily, the rock
continuing good and the drilling going
on with good progress, some days cutting
sixteen feet. Wednesday night they
were down 935 feet, at which time they
shut down to put in the four inch cas-
ing. The hole has to be trimmed out
down about fifty feet in the rock, from
where the four inch tubing enters, to
form an offset. This and putting in the
casing occupied the rest Of the week.
The first of the week they struck stream
of mineral water, or some substance that
gave the water brackish taste, which
some thought was indications Of salt,
but since then the water has regained
its pure taste. Monday the drilling will
be resumed and every indication points
to successful completion of the work.
They are bound to have that salt If 1t Is
to be found in that hole.

Differences Among Saints.

The saints of Ignace are considerably
torn up as it were over projects of future
self government, and if they remain in
the end saints by nature as we'll as in
name, We miss our guess. For some
months past they have had wOrdy war
over there as to the best mode Of pro-
cedure. The house seems divided
against itself. Some are in favor of
one village and one supervisor. Some
others are in favor Of three separate viii
lagos with a supervisor lat large while
others are in favor Of one big city or
ganizatiOn with all the name implies,
Except the inhabitantsD three wards,
any quantity of aldermen, and three
supervisors. There may be. some other
schemes, but we have not them in mind
just now. Public meetings have been
held without number, and much elO-
quence gone to waste, and still the
saints are no nearer rest than when they
began to agitate. They have therefore
hied themselves to Lansing, by dele.
CATION, where they hope to get the wise
sOlOns of the state to solve their Difficult.
ties for them. We hope they will sue
ceed for we are satisfied that these
saints can never agree.
