LACK CT INTEREsT.-Wc arc frequently
panied to notice the indifference manifested
in regard to the temperance question by
many excellent Christian women. They
have never felt any personal Inconvenience
on account of the traffic in liquor they have
never come into immediate contact with
any suffering caused by it, and they have
only vague ideas that such suffering exists
Let them once be made to realize what
danger imponds over them and all their
friends, and they will at once become
interested in the matter.
From very earnest appeal made by
Judge Crosby to the women Of Lowell,
Mass, We extract the following:
81 call upon you for your own personal pro.
lection. In lifc's stream there arc cross cur
rents eddics and falls, and though you may
be abstinent yourselves, you know not what
drunkard may meet you on the street, enter
your houses when unprotected, what mis-.
haps may come upon you from drinking
servants, the drivers OF your teams, managers
of cars in which you may ride or boats in
which you may traverse the waters, the mills
and shops in which you work ,-ev everywhere,
and at all times, from fires aud disasters
occasioned by carelessnsss and unfaithful-
ness Of people of irregular habits. Who is
to lose by sobriety? Who does not gain by
abstinence
awe are toiling for you and yours We
desire to chain the he'rumseller instead Of Civ
ing him rope; to shut up his den OF
iniquity, that weak or hardened men
men of appetite and irrcsolution-may find
it difficult to crafty their longings. and oI
necessity must gain time and consideration
to see the awful precipice before them, and
thus be led again in paths of peace, confor,
and prosperity" y."-LcUcr

and ran, and Tcvs himself took to his heels

where the woman afterwards visited him.

taking with her little daughter, the only
fruit of the marriage. Ahcsfse exposure
it came out that Mrs. L. ha4ksss Iaadis,
a rather gay life. Public sympathy was
rather against Igelhart because it was
known that he was a.warm personal friend
of Rush Tevis and visitor at his house.
1t was through this intimacy that he became
acquainted with the in6rmities of Mrs.
Tevis.
In due time Tevis made application for
divorce. Mrs. T. made no resistance
remaining in the East somewhere. The
divorce was granted the woman singu.arly
enough, being given custody of the child.

Apporiionlng the State.

The making Of Congressional and
Legislative aIportion is duty De.
volved upon the Legislature by the
Federal and State Constitutions The
members Of the Legislature are sworn
to support and be bound Toy the Federal
and State Constitutions, which are the
paramount law, So il appcars that the
apporlionment Of the State is a matter
of legal obligation which does not sd
init OF pos,ponement. A failure on the
part Of the Legislature 10 perform its
duty in this behalf would justify the
Governor in calling an extra session for
the specific purpose Of making appor.
tionments.
Pennsylvania is Republican State,
and the fairest basis OF spportionment
is the vote for the Presidency in 1850,
when the full strength of parties, as
near as may be, was brought TO the polls.
In that year the majority of Garfield
over Hancock was over $1,000. The
vote stood
