man who has done more by his whole
eventful life to eradicate this self-same
evil than any one of whom our history
speaks. Prof. Gregory's address VIII
appear next week in full.
MIR. SOL. G. BROWN
responded to agriculture as follows
In response to the toast Agriculture,
can only briefly say that agriculture
is to-day the leading science that con-
Germs every man, woman and child OF
this great and powerful nation, and is
one of its great sources OF wealth, and
it's main contributions to the happiness,
refinement and greatness of its people.
And it may be safely said is the only
true producing scieace upon which man
depends and may be divided into. first,
horticulture; second, husbandry; third,
tlowerculture; fourth, forestry.
From horticulture we derive our art
of kitchen gardening, production and
care of fowl, butter, cheese and the like.
From husbandry we derive our grain,
cattle, sheep and horse.
From flowcrculture we derive our
flowers in thousands of varieties which
goes SO far to add to refinement, beauty
and pleasure.
From forestry we derive all the val
liable woods, lumber, fuel and adorn-
ments in parks and gardens.
And for these in exchange this ma
ton, together with many others are
willing and indeed glad to pour in the
treasuryof the people untold millions of
gold and silver annually, and when we
look abroad over the wide extent OF
this rich country and count the numer-
Gus streams flowing from this science
alone we heve means over which to
rejoice and give thanks to our all-wise
and bountiful Providence for the agrl-
culture of this land.
Without silk, cotton, linen, wool or leather,
Which agriculture gives;
Man would make poor show to WIND or
weather,
In the land in which he lives.

One Of the most significant results
appearing in the recent census bulletin
giving the statistics Of manufactures
in the United States by industries IS
the returns Of COttOnseed oil and CAKE
These returns show that in 1880 there
were forty-6ve establishments Of this
kind in the country, presumably in tne
South, and that the value of products
for that year was nearly eight million
dollars. The cotton seed used was
valued at about five and a half million
dollars. In 1870 there were but TWEEN

life of the whole American nation.
Reflection upon il opens to us vast
wilderness of thought and feeling.
Man is said TO be an animal looking be-
fore and after. To him alone is given
the prophetic vision enabling him to
discern the outline of his future
through the mists and shadows of his
past. The day we celebrate affords us
an eminence from which we may in a
measure survey both the past and the
future. 1t is one of those days which
may well count for thousand years.
Until this day, twenty years ago, there
was vast incubus on the breast of the
American people, which baffled all the
wisdom of American craftsmanship.
Slavery, the sum of all villanies, like
a vulture was gnawing at the heart Of
the Republic until this day there
stretched away behind us an awful
chasm of darkness and despair of more
than two centuries until this day the
American slave, bound in chains,
tossed his fettered arms on high and
groaned for freedoms gift in vain !;
until this day the colored people of the
United States lived in the shadow of
death, hell, and the grave, and had no
visible future. Agonized heart-throbs
convulsed them while sleeping. And
the wind whispered death, while over
them sweeping. Until this day eknew

FATAL FAMILY FEUD.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-There was the usual
Sunday tragedy in this city. The victim
was William A. Paddacks, slain by Andrew
j. Mason his brother-in-law, the scene being
at the corner of Paulina and Walnut streets
Three and half years ago Paddacks was
married to Miss Eva Mason, the daughter
of Charles Mason, 40 Walnut street, and
sister of Andrew Mason. They lived to-
gether until last July, and their married
life was wretched one. PaddackS
proved to be worthless, dissipated fellow,
and failed to contribute to the support of his
wife and child. At last Mrs. Paddacks left
her husband and went to the home of her
parents Paddacks went TO 40 Walnut street
to see his wife and baby, previously threaten
ing to relative named Quanstrum that il
Mason, his father-in-law, interfered there
would be trouble On reaching the house the
first person he met was Andrew Ma
son coming out. Mason was ac-
costed by Paddacks, who, pulling
revolver, said: "Andrew, I've come to see
Eva, and if you stand in my way I'll blow
your - brains out" He then pushed the
muzzle of the revolver against Mason's nose
and pulled the trigger. 1t missed fire, and
the boy, springing forward, grabbed the
weapon, and, after struggle, wrenched 1t
from Pabdacks and shot him twice-once IN
the heart and once in the head. He leaves
two sons, aged 10 and Is, by former mar
riage.

many.
LONDON, Oct 23.-The great increase in
the number of Americans who annually
spend much Of their summer vacation in
different parts of Germany is beginning to
attract notice and newspaper comment.
One of the speakers al the Berlin demonstra-
tions called the attention Of the au-
dience to the growing relationship
between the citizens of the United
States and the people of Germany, arising
from the enormous population Germany
had already given to the republic, and said
the Interchange Of IDEAS resulting from these
ties were rapidly liberalizing the whole Ger-
man people. The speaker pointed to the lib
eralism of England as the result Of the reia-
GoEship which had 50 long and closely existed
between Great Brita IN and the United States
during the period when England was fur
nishing the republic with population and
claimed the title Of Mother Country. Ger
many, the spcaser said, as the result of its
succession to England in the matter of fur
nishing population to the republic would
soon become as thoroughly iberalized, and
now that Germany had taken Englands
place in the one respect, Germany ought also
succeed to the title Mother Country" to the
great republic. This lastremark was greeted
with prolonged applause.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Taking q Walk and stumbling Over
aHuman skeleton.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-About o'clock p. m.
Sunday, Mr.. George c. Campbell, of Hins-
dale, was walking in the woods near Fullers-
burg, when he stumbled over the skeleton OF
man, with some remnants of decayed flesh
still clinging to the bones, and some half
rotted clothing. A few feet apart from
the body lay the skull, in such
position as to indicate that
the man had fallen face down
ward The body was half-covered
with some underbrlsh, and the spot where
the CHASTITY thing was found is about quar-
ter Of mile north of the main road. 1t had
all the appearance of having been there for
long time The coat the man had on was
sack of diagonal pattern, black, with brown
check. The pantaloons were blue flannel
The height of the man was about five feet
eight inches. A few tufts of iron-gray hair
were found clinging to the skull. The feet
were inclosed in white hose and buttoned
shoes. A black stiff hat lay by
the head. In the coat pocket
was found a linen collar, a handkerchief and
black neclltie In the vest pocket were
pair of eyeglasses in case and a railroad
timetable. Near by the remains lay
whisky bottle The general impression
throughout the neighborhood seems to be
that the unfortunate man was tramp, ana
may have fallen down in some sudden spasm
of apoplexy. There is nothing, so far, to
point to its being a case of murder.

Officers of the Next House.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 23.-A member of
the Indiana delegation, interviewed on the
organization of the next house, said: 1.-THE
speakership seems to be much in doubt, as
each one of the candidates, with their friends,
claim to lead in the race. There are appar'
emily very many memRels who have not COM
mitted themselves and This large unknown ele-
ment renders the outcome uncertain. With
regard to the officers, he continued, there Is
the same uncertainty, with one notable ex-
ception 1t is generally conceded that Gen.
J. B. Clark, of Missouri, will be the next
clerk, in fact his friends confidently predict
his election. Considering that Gen. Clark
spent ten years in congress, it is not at all
strange that many men who occupied seats
during that time should welcome him back to
the scene of his former labors, especially as
he possesses in a marked degree the power OF
making lasting friendships"
