European. Unrest.

The working population of Europe is in
state of fermeut. Socla,istic outbreaks
are reported in Lyons. Bordeaux, Vienna,
and Flo ence. These are really protests by
the working classes against the military
incubus weighing down Europe. On the
Continent, from the Mediterranean to the
North Sea, and from the Atlantic to the
Ural Mountains, every nation maintains a
huge military establishment. The con-
scription takes the able bodied young man
from his home, and then the poor family is
taxed at a runous rate to keep the.unwill-
ing recruit at n, reproductive labor. =, The
manufactures are largely employed in
turning out machinery for warlike purpo-
ses. This, in itself, is serious impost on
the labor of the several countries. II is
this state of things which brings about So
cialistic outbreaks. The schoolmaster is
abroad, in these days, and the sorely harass-
ed laborer is intelligent enough to under
stand that his.misery is due to human in
situations, which could be modified or
swept aside if the rules of Europe so will
it. The great.mass..o emigrants who come
here do so not only because our untaxel
fields are attractive to them, but also be-
cause OF the cruel burdens which heavy
taxation in their own country imposes up
on them. In this country we are fortunate
in having no great military establishment
Our embarrassments are due to an over
flowing treasury, which tempts our con-
gessmen to make protliSate expenditures.
But, in the mean time, we can at least SYM
pathize with the people of Europe, even if,
as a nation, we cannot interfere it, their be-
half with the several governments.-From

TAD 11sco1s.s FAsr-DAr rrcS1C.

If there was ever q boy in danger OF
being spoiled, it was the youngest SON
of President Lincoln. Much of the
time it was impossible that he should
not be left to run at large. He was
foolishly caressed and petted by people
who wanted favors of his father, and
who took this way of making friend in
the family, as they thought; and he was
living in the midst of most exciting
epoch in the country's history, when q
boy in the White House was in strange
and somewhat unnatural atmosphere.
But I am bound to say that Tad, al
though he doubles shad his wits sharp
ened by being in such strange sur
rounding, was never anything else,
while I knew him, but boisterous, roll
licking and absolutely real boy.
Great was Tad's curiosity, in 1864, to
know what was meant by the Presi-
dents proclamation for day of fasting
and prayer. His inquiries were not
satisfactorily answered, but from the
servants he learned, to his dismay, that
there would be nothing eaten in the
White House from sunrise to sunset on
Fast day. The boy, who was blessed
with vigorous appetite, took measures
to escape from the rigors of the day. 1t
happened that, just before Fast day
came, the family carriage was brought
out of its house to be cleaned and put
in order. Tad stood by, with feelings of
alarm, while general overhauling of
the vehicle went on, the coachman dust
ing, rubbing. and pulling things about,
quite unconscious of Tad's anxious
watch on the proceedings. Pretty soon,
drawing out queer-looking bundle
from one of the boxes under the seat,
the man brought to light part of
loaf of bread, some bits of cold meat,
and various other fragments of food
from the larder. Tad, now ready to
burst with anger and disappointment,
cried, "Oh! Oh! give that up, I say!
That's my Fast-day p;cnic!" The poor
lad, from dread of going hungry, had
cautiously hidden, from day to day,
portion of food against the day of FAST
ing, and had stood by while his hoard
was in danger, hoping that it might es-
cape the eyes of the servants.
He was consoled by a promise from
his mother, to whom he ran with his
tale of woe, that he should not suffer
hunger on Fast day, even though his
father, the President, had proclaimed
day of fasting, humiliation and prayer
for all the people.-Noah Brooks, IN

GREET LITTLE MEN.

Upon examining the biography of the
greatest prose writers OF ancient and
modern times we find many of them
have been little men. One of the great
poets of Athens was so small that his
friends fastened lead to his sandals to
prevent his being toppled over or blown
away. And Pope was SO small and
crooked as to be compared to an interro-
CATION point Able Gallant was the
prettiest little harlequin that Italy ever
produced; but upon the shoulders Of
that harlequin was the head of Machia-
yelii. Moore, the Irish poet, was so
small that George Nv. once threatened
tn clan him into wine cooler.

VOLUME 8. NUMBER IA
ELEcrRICITY.

Prot. Tce is an authority ON electric
ity, which he claims to be the motive
power of the universe. Everything, "
he says, sis moving; nothing stands
still, nothing is stationary, the moving
impulse being electricity. 1t moves
your hand, it moves all the planets in
their orbits. According to some, the
Creator hurled those vast obs into space
and they were set moving, but the prim-
tive impulse was electricity, the prime
cause of all motion. It is unquestiona-
bly, the motive power. We have the
earth moving eighteen miles and six
tenths in second, around it's orbit !;
electricity is the cause. Electricity is
convertible into light and heat, and the
time will come when electricity will be
our fuel. But there is no way of storing
it up for use. It has been given out in
the public press that some one is storing
it That is an impossibility. If he has
done anything he has some chemical
element that will not act on something
else. Electricity viii have to be evolved
by either decomposition or recomposi-
ton, which must be done before electric
ity is evolved. Water will become the
source of fuel; the lakes and rivers will
be reservoirs of fuel wherever you have
a cheap method of producing electricity.
Electricity is the soul of the universe.
You can't tell what it is any more than
you can the soul of man. Your pro-
fessors know nothing about it, except
what they get from books. The so-callei
scientific men retard instead of ad-
vancing truth. The whole theory of the
old hghtning-rod is wrong. They try to
accomplish an impossibility."

TIE CANDIDATE FOR PROBATE
JUDGE.

THE CANDIDATE FOR PROBATE
JUDGE.
1t was election day in Huron. Thu
people of the county had been engaged
in exercising their dearest privilege Al
American citizens. The election wal
over, and the judges were engaged il
ascertaining the result. The bitter
contention of the day had ceased; the
wary maneuyering of politicians, the
shrewd combination of opposing inter
ests to defeat a common enemy had beer
had; and all the excitement of the strug
gle was now concentrated in the sus
pense as to the result.
Crowding aroung the polling place
was a vast multitude. The whole
voting population of the county seemed
TO be gathered there awaiting the an,
nouncement of the result with breath
less interest. There was apparent Gu.
rious feeling of mutual enmity among
those composing the crowd. They re.
garded each other with scowling faces.
and each seemed to regard every other
his bitter rival. While all were alb
sorbed in one interest, and all awaited
the result of the vote, as if depended
upon it all their hopes of happiness,
there seemed to be no sympathy be-
tween them. Each regarded the other
with look as if he saw in him the most
abandoned of villains, and each seemed
to see in his neighbor wretch who was
attempting to rob him of his dearest
rights and honors, and whom to murder
would be Christian duty.
At length the clerk of election arose
and prepared to read the result of the
vote. A solemn stiffness fell upon the
vast assembly, and every voice was
hushed and every ear was strained to
catch his words.
"For County Commissioner, G. Fred
Zimmerman has received"
Bother the County Commissioner
We don't care anything about that. Go
on to the next"
aFor Register of Deeds, I. J. Mouser
has received"
DESCENDANT voices drowned the fig
ures.
aFor Sheriff
"No matter about the Sheriff. Go
on to Probate Judge! Probate Judged
Probate Judged" cried score of voices
from the crowd.
The voice of the clerk became husky.
He seemed to tremble with some strange
emotion, and almost to fear to announce
to the desperate-looking crowd the re-
suit asked for.
Gentlemen" he said at length,
gravely and deliberately, Il am sorry to
be obliged to announce that the vote
for Probate Judge is tie, and that
therefore there is no election to that
Office"
Fierce cries of fraud and treachery
arose from the crowd, and the figures
were demanded.
Gentlemen" said the clerk, there
were 2,378 votes cast. There were 2,378
candidates. Each received one vote.
To an impartial looker-on in Vienna, it
might appear that every man voted for
himself"
With a wild, weird, despairing cry,
2,37S men fell senseless to the ground.
