President nIadlson,s Ho,ne.

The historic home of President Madison
Montpelier Va, which was purchased two
or three years ago by Louis f. DERRICK, of
Baltimore, and W. L. Brady, of Boston, has
been put in excellent condition. A CORE
spondent of the Baltimore Sun, who lately
visited the estate which contains 1, 065 acres,
writes about it as follows: 1.-THE old man.
sion one of the finest in the South, is 100
feet long, with an average width of forty-five
feet. 1t is two stories above basement,
which is entirely above ground, and is in an
exceptional state of preservation for such an
old building During the past four monthsa
large force of Baltimore artisans and me-
chanics have been engaged in its restoration.
The prime object was to retain every line of
the old colonial style originally used in its
construction. The land has been brought to
a high state of cultivation, and large num-
Der of acres are now in wheat, corn, grass,
etc. There are many points of interest on
this place-the old graveyard, inclosed by
brick wall, where Madison and numerous of
his ancestors rest; the old mill, the barn and
cabins, the garden, containing about four
acres, designed to represent the floor and gal
leries of the old House of Representatives,
and which is pronounced a fac smile, and
also numerous other attractions of great in
terest to visitors"

There is nothing more disgusting nowadays
than the society column of the average
country weekly, and we believe our people
are getting more disguised with this great
nuisance as time rolls on. A young squirt of
a nincompoop can't go out of town but what
his name is paraded before a tired and I'M
happy public, while the s. o. a. n. thinks the
paper would be failure had his name been
omitted Who cares if Miss Doodledine has
gone to spend few days in the country
with her cousin, Miss Persimonsquash? Is
the world going to revolve twice the usual
number of times on account of this great
disaster? We will risk it anyhow and here
after all kind of such trash will be expunged
from these columns. We have traded our So
ciety editor for dude, and now we have one

OF the nome and the mercenary views OF
home life, only, as Joaquin Miller has said,
to be bounced upon and clawed by every
old tabby-cat in town for having bravely
done his duty in pointing out folly, shame
and SIM"
The fact is, we need missionaries from
Africa, from peasant Scotland and from
Germany to enter into our great centers and
convert, or rather revert, our social life.
The intellectual is shutting out the animal.
There is not sufficient appreciation of or
desire for physical excellence among the re-
fined women OF our time. They are willing to
be delicate, fragile and incapable of endur-
ance The glow of health. the beauty of
strength, the comely shape given by the Great
Master to the Venuses of form, are viewed
as coarse and unladylike. Such women as
our higher circles are forming naturally dread
the processes of motherhood as abnormal and
and sufferers. They set bad examples to their
daughters if they have any, and to women
in the lower walks of life. Women and men
are coming to look upon marriage in the
light Of civil contract-a business partner
ship. In many States the divorce list is
nearly half as long as tine marriage list
Without one nature life, aim and interest
there is no joy in marriage. The quarrel in
the Hathaway family" has only revealed
some of the awful results whose causes lie
further back than the Doctors avarice and
cruelty.
CDR" Hathaway has only proved himself
an eminent specialist in the line of prac-
tce he has selected. He has been fortunate
criminal for fifty years. and has centered in
himself the crimes that otherwise would
have been committed by many others of his
ilk. Back OF all lies the falsity of our mar
riage views, the facility of divorce, the insa-
tiate man seeking the INDECENT and dependent
woman. This Hathaway horror is, in fact, an
awful example of the old Scripture, that
"lust having conceived, it bringeth forth sin,
and sin when it is finished bringeth forth
DEATH" But not the doctors alone, nor the
preachers, nor the staid and moral city OF
Philadelphia, nor the brutal and conscience
less inhuman organism that stood back of
the trough but ingenious implement, proba-
bly, made by blacksmith" are to blame.
For the true causes of these sickening crimes
we shall have to cut deeper into the tissues
of modern social life. This is matter
which involves our entire social fabric, and
requires the careful consideration of the
press; of the law, clergy and physicians; Of
every righteous and Christian man and
woman who esteems the home and believes
the perpetuity of civil and Christian institu-
tons to be plvoted on this center.

A MEMBER OF the Iroquois Club of Chicago,
says the members generally prefer Mr.. Nc
Donald as candidate for President, while Mr..
Carlisle is their choice for Speaker of the
House We desire to say that the Demo
cratic party could not arrange matters more
satisfactorily for the Republicans than to put
themselves distinctly upon the free-trade
platform, without any ifs or ands, as these
nominations would. Should Mr.. Carlisle be
elected Speaker of the House the campaign
Of 1884 would be greatly simplifed and the
certainty of the success of the Republican
party, standing for American labor as we'll
as for revenue, greatly enhanced.

''THE war is not thing to be remembered
with satisfaction. The country wants to for
get it. = We are tired of these pa
triotic addresses on the war. Let us have
peace"
The above-quoted paragraphs are from the
New York World. 1t is well enough now
that all the bitterness of the late war be for
gotten, and that hatred and prejudice be
buried to rise no more. But the war, as a
glorious triumph of right over wrong, should
never be forgotten. 1t will never be forgot
ten by all who were on the right side. If
you are tired of patriotic addresses, you
would better go to some country where there
are no patriots, if you think life in such a
place would be tolerable. Let us have peace;
and to have peace, let us have patriotism.

Mr.. SNYDER, living near Glen City, Pa, Is
wealthy farmer an active politician and a pillar
in the Methodist church, but he is not wealthy
nor of such fiawless piety as he was two months
ago. Fifteen years ago Mr.. Snyder's only son ran
away from home and nothing was heard of him
afterward except rumor that he was in Chica-
go. A few weeks ago well-dressed, handsome
young man made his appearance at Glen City,
claiming to be the long-lOst son. Some of the
neiehbors suspected him of being fraud, but
Mr.. Snyder accepted him without hesitation and
placed in him the utmost confidence. The other
night the old gentleman awoke to find himself
gagged and bound while his supposed son broke
open his safe and rihed it of $500 and many val
uables. He thinks now that he was mistaken
about that strong family resemblance which he
thought he bore.
