Ipswich Tribune: The name of Col.
A. B. SIN edley, of Grant county, has
been mentioned in connection with
the presidency of the council at the
coming session OF the legisla ature.
Col. Smedley has had the experience
and has the ability to make al excel.

could do no better than to recognize
the seventh district by choosing him.
Mr.. Scobey, president of the council
at the last session, was not reelected.
Ipswich Tribune: The Trayare Sun
is pitching into an attorney who has
recently located at W:lmot, and states
that lie is from Edmunds county and
under Indictment for some crime com
mited against the laws Of Dakota.
The sun must be mistaken, as we
know of no escaped convict or luna
tic who has shed Dakota dirt from
his feet and gone east to look up a 10.
cation. Edmunds takes pride in be.
ing one of the Cow counties. but re.
flutes the statement that her indicted
citizens are prowling around Roberts
county and opening law offices. Go
further west; try Walworth. We
have heard of parties answering to
the description WHO have recently
left that county.
The Wahpeton Gazette has the
most graceful way Of callinga a contem-
porary polite names that we have yet
seen. Read his retort to the Wahpe-
ton Times and his criticism Of the st.
Paul Globe:
The editor Of the Times persists in
alludlng to the .lying Gazette"
Speaking of deception, it seems that
we have been mutually deceived. He
took us for a liar and we took him for
a gentleman.
Judging from its illustrations, the
st. Paul Globe does not believe in the
DarWinian theory that men are have
developed from monkeys. but, rather.
that they are developed from roosters.
In its issue Of the 18th it gives an IL
lustration, evidently intended to rep
resent Cleveland, developing from a
rooster, the process having extended
only down to the neck-tie. That
would be bad enough, without carry.
ing the matter any further, III view of
all the scandaloas things that have
been said during the recent campaign.
But it emphasizes the scandal by the
addition of a whole Mormon family Of
twenty five smaller roosters, scattered
over different parts of the sheet.

Mother Day." of Summit, N. j.,
aged ninety-eight years, who up to
this time has been hale and hearty fell
the full length of the stairs in the
house of her son, Daniel Day, on Sun
day week ago. She survived until
Monday. She was one of the mothers
of Methodism' in this country, was the
widow of the late Rev. Stephen Day,
and during the itineracy of Bishop
Asbury regularly entertained him at
her home in New Providence. She
was also family connection of Bar
bara Heck, the first Methodist woman
in this country, who landed in New
York in 1850 with her cousin, Philip
Embury, and with him founded the
Methodism of America. Mrs. Day
was the mother of ten sons, nine OF
whom survive her Three of them
were ministers of the Newark Confer
ence and two are still living-Rev
William Day at Hoboken and Rev.
P. d. Day at Hibernica. The latter
preached his semi-centennial sermon
last year.

ONE OF LOGAN'S BAYONET CHARGES.
"A member of the Thirty first tells a
little story of that Belmont attack and
victory, which illustrates Logan's dash
and energy. Said he: 1--WE embarked
at Cairo on transports and landed
secretly few miles above Belmont.
The rebels were in force at Columbus
and at Belmont, nearly opposite Column
bus. We swooped down on the Bel
mont outfit, and, after a sharp fight,
cleaned out the town. In those days
the early part of the war, whenever a
body of Union troops had fight and
won it, it was thought to be the thing
to have great blow out speeches and
bonfres and music and all that. The
Belmont victory was no exception.
We had great time that night. Gen.
McClernand made roaring speech,
and so did Logan, l believe. We had
great bonfires and an extra supper and
all the bands out, and kept it up till
pretty near daylight. Then it was
found that during the night, while we
were celebrating, the rebels had landed
big force from Columbus to our side
of the river, and cut us off completely
from our transports. We were dazed
at this, and in mighty tight place.
Logan was the first to realize it, and,
after some discussion, he got permis-
sion from General McClernand to try
to cut his way through the rebel cor
don and open the road to the trans
ports. This was done in a bayonet
charge, and was one of the most gal
liant feats of the war;

NO. 1893

AT all events she had supported her
self TILL the present time, and the oues-
tlon OF her past was known only to
herself. No one else knew. No one
cared. She was led to the block crv
ing as though her heart would break
When she stepped upon it she walled
IN her anguish: ''My God, l wish that
| could die. Ny husband and son
were killed in the army. Oh. If could
only die" And like the Saviour on
the cross the cry came again almost in
the same language, My God, my God,
why hast Thou forsaken me?n She
was sold to the keeper of a boarding
house at logging camp for 81.
The idiotic girl was sold to a hard
looking mountaineer for the sum of
sixty cents per week.
As the next part of the human goods
and chattels stepped upon the block it
showed the white, curly locks of an
aged colored man, who laughed as he
looked over the throng with his good
humored and jolly eyes. Il golly,"
said be, as he glanced around, dis yer
is like OF times, bress my soul" He
was sold to farmer for $11.
The sale aggregated $113 for the
'able-bodied'' paupers and an average
price OF thirty-two cents per week for
the invalids. At the conclusion of the
sale the jolly auctioneer, with part
ing jest to the crowd, stepped from
his stand and entering the hotel re-
freshed himself after his fatiguing dr,-
ties. The purchasers with their ''bar-
gains" as some of them termed the
unfortunates whom they had bought,
started off homeward.
The stories of crueltyto these people
are numerous and beyond question or
doubt. They are worked to their ut
most capacity. They are fed on refuse,
made to sleep in barns, have to go
barefooted for ten months in the year.
and are whipped, and whipped saw
agely on the slightest pretext. The
tales of Immortality are frequent and
two often true. The children are al
lowed to grow up without education
and, it is said, some of them do not
even know that a God exists. They
are in the most degrading bondage in
the world, bondage which is more
absolute, more terrible and more ap-
palling than that of negro slavery
| They contract diseases which are neg
lected, for in many cases medical aid
is denied them. These poor wretches,
in addition to their other sorrows, are
the butt and jeer of every person not
a pauper. They are looked on as
pieces of goods with only money
value. varied in accordance with their
ability to perform manual labor.
And all this in America, right here
not many miles from the seat of the
United States government, in this day
and in the midst of civilization.

In a decision rendered recently,
granting a divorce to husband in the
case of Ham against Ham, where
the ground alleged was desertion by
the wife, Vice-Chancellor Bird says:
Home may be unpleasant; there
may be unexpected toll; there may be
hardships too much for weak or SEN
sitive nature to bear; there may be
neglect that wounds deeper than
serpent's sting; there may be broken
promises thar turn all the ardent love
of early wedlock to unrelenting hate;
yet neither nor all of these is sufficient
to constitute a legal excuse for a wife
to leave her husband.

Newspapers, says an exchange,
though everybody does not seem to
think so, are always paid for in ad-
vance. If the thoughtful subscriber
does not do it the proprietor of the
paper has to. The paper and ink man
ufacturer and printers will not wait a
year, or perhaps half dozen years,
before they get their pay. The sub
scriber in arrears should think of this.

William S. Taylor, of Burlington.
has recently lost three high-bred Jer-
sey COWS from a disease, which local
surgeon pronounced consumption. A
number of veritnary surgeons and
members of the State Board of Health
have been investigating the cases, and
portions of the lungs of one of the an
imals have been sent to Philadelphia
for microscopic examination The
disease is thought to be the result of
too close confinement and artificial
living.
The Washington headquarters AS
sociation, of Morristown, is making an
effort to secure subscribers to its cap
ital stock, of which $4,000 is allowed
by its charter, but only about one
half of which has been taken, thereby
compelling the carrying of a mortgage
upon the Headquarters property.
The buildings and grounds are kept in
fine order, and were visited last year
by upwards of 10000 persons. The
State appropriates a certain sum year
ly, which about pays the running ex-
penses.
Mrs. T. B. Hance, daughter of the
late Senator Henry r. Kennedy, of
Bloomsbury, Hunterdon county, has
been missing for over a week. On
Tuesday, June 10th, she sold her horse
for $50, and took her jewelry, valued
at $500, and left home. A despatch
from Easton informed her husband
that she was there and evidently in
sane. By the time he reached Easton
she had gone to Bethlehem, Pa, and
to Philadelphia. He followed, but
failed to find her, and returned home.
He again received despatch from a
conductor on the Bound Brook line
that a lady answering her description
had taken his train at Bound Brook
and gone to New York. Mr.. Hance
went to New York and searched for
three days, with the assistance of de-
tectives, but failedto find any trace OF
her. Mrs. Hance is an artist of some
note. By the death of her father she
inherits $25,OOO.

Tho Treatment OF Manuscript by
HRruer & Bros,

The following account of the treatment
of an article or book designed for publ
cation by Harper & Bros. is told by Wal
ter Besant, in London AiheaGum:
Some months ago Mr.. Latham, the Lon
don representative of Harper a. Bros,
Crown buildings, showed me then un-
published article destined for their
magazine. 1t WAS not in manuscript,
but had been printed by tho Remington
Typewriter. / understood Mr. Latiam to
say that it was their custom to set all
manuscripts for the magazine In this way,
and that there already exist two or three
offices in New York for the express pur-
pose of thus setting up manuscripts for
correction. 1t occurred to me that this
custom might prohtably be initiated by
ourselves. The most obvious advantages
are the following: The writer receives
his manuscript already set up, so to
speak; he may alter, add, cut, and hack,
or mend rs he pleases; he may do any
thing he likes with his work; he has only
to hand it back finally revised for the
press, and tho printers have to treat the
corrected proof as n manuscript, which
will receive no further alteration. Now,
II is great deal easier TO correct u
printed proof than ones own manuscript
All kinds of slips, repetitions faults of
style, gramma;, and sense may creep into
the manuscript, and remain there uncor-
rected, only to be detected in the proof
and altered at the cost of printers bill,
which have known to be nearly doubled
for corrections, | had then recently been
connected with tho publication of work
where proofs had to go for revision, first
to Syria, then 10 Australia, and back ward
aud forward to two or three people in
England. The bill for correction Ger.
tainly amounted to double the actual cost
for composition. Now, Mt least three
fourths of these corrections would have
saved could the manuscript in the first
instance have boon given to the type
writer. Had this boon done, the proofs,
annotated, corrected, even cut to pieces,
might have been handed to tho printers
with tho comfortable understanding that
not one penny should be allowed for COR
rections
am sure that if the advantages of the
system can once DO undeTstoOd--and now
it means an immense increase of comfort,
with saving of eyes and labor to the
writer, cheapnoss to the publisher, and an
enormous amount Of trouble taken or tho
composition and reader-it will not DO long
