The New York Tribune in its market re-
port explained why some butter is sold for
such low prices. In speaking Of butter it
said: Light colored goods are very hard
to dispose of and several lots were thought
well sold at 8 to 10 cents" If butter max
ers would get the top price, they should
use the Improved Butter Color, made by
Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, vt.
1t gives pure dandelion color and never
turns red, or rancid, but tends to improve
and preserve the butter.

amateur Sisters Of Mercy who inhabit our
parlors of luxury. Still, the amount Of
poverty that wanders the streets of Phil
adelptia in one day surpasses in numbers
mare than the most extensive imagina-
ton could estimate, and it would require
the fortunes of seventeen Vanderbilts to
allay the misery of these desolate
wretches. Some of Philadelphia street
beggars afford the sympathetic many OPP
portunities for silent mourning and heart
felt pity. Many of those whose bones
now moulder in the paupers' cemetery,
or whose heads are tossed about on tene-
ment house touches, tortured by incur
able diseases, have once been the petted
and pampered sons and daughters of
Pride. Raised in the gilded cradle of
nonsense and society etiquette, they grow
up knowing nothing of the outside world
until they are suddenly launched out
upon it mid the glitter of diamonds, the
sensuous glare of low-necks and short
sleeves, and all the dark temptations that
lewd wealth and ignorance or vice can
possibly offer. They make their debut
with a recklessneSs and lack of fore
thought that would surprise veteran
cut-throat. In two years time their pa
rents fail in business, as general thing,
and these poor wretches who never
turned a hand over, except to twirl
gold-headed cane Or fondle pug nosed
dog, are left absolute beggars and at the
mercy of the public. Many of them
plunge Immediately into wanton and dis
sipated ways, whilst others bear up for a
little while under thir load of mortifica-
ton until they can no longer struggle
against the current of starvation, when
they literally throw themselves, without
one thought for the future, into the wide
ocean of crime. And SO they perish.
These men and women, to whom God
has given hearts and human souls, wan.
der around through the mire of adversely
with no hope of ever reaching clean soil,
all love for truth and honor forever gone
from them; all knowledge of God and
religion driven from their memories by
the curses of their fellow-m and all
thoughts of Heven mingled with the
bastard crazes of their minds. In this
condition they would no doubt remain
until death relieved them, if it was not
for the Incompatible love with which
our charitable women 60 out among
them and strive to bring them back to
some semblance of human beings. There
are many of these women who, at this
season in particular, do nothing but plan
and plot ways 10 alleviate the miseries Of
the poor. The solemn thoughts which
Lent surrounds them with stimulates
them to more extensive efforts.
In the presence of such beings We hold
converse with CANCELS unawares,"
and we can do naught but wish that
their virtues may find broader fields, and
that they may become, if not the leaders
of our government, at least the rulers
and advisers of our political representa-
tives, 50 that when we men lose all hope
of future Paradise we may be assured

LENTEN THOUGHTS.
PHILADELPHIA, March Is.

I'll lo'
DEAR WHtG-Lent seems to have hung
its harp on the willow tree, and is con-
tent to sound its silent anthem on corn
stalk fiddle. 1t has babe long farewell
to all it's former greatness, and rests in
the shade of the fading honors it once
wore blushing on its front. Why, l asked
of Mrs. A., being such good church peo-
pie, do you not observe Lent this season?
"Well, you know" the sweet lady re-
piled, I'VE are poor, and poor people can
not afford to keep Lent" Upon observa-
ton, found this to be veritable fact.
The working man and his family attach
little Importance any more to church fes-
rivals. The man at work all day comes
homo in the evening pretty we'll tired
out, and needs good substantial sup
per; where if his wife was indulging in
"evening meditation at St. Clements
the poor fellow would be woefulIy
cleft" Therefore, the women have to
remain at home so busily engaged in ne
cessary household duties that they do
not even have time to attend one of the
daily thirty minute" services.
With the upper ten thousand it is
quite, differentand am afraid their "medi
tation" does not befit the shadow of rever-
ence cast over the forty days abstinence.
but rather scars with regretful memories
to deserted ball rooms which conscience
and watchful mothers forbid them to
visit until after Easter. Charity is the
child of the Lenten season, and the idea
that it should "begin at home" is now
made to partake of broader meaning,
and human sympathy does not limit the
sense of that sweet wsrd Home to our
own immediate hearthstones; but pity
tears down the back fence and builds her
root over every street and highway
where misery can be found, bringing
penniless and homeless sufferers into the
shelter of her portals, and it does not
need much advertising to secure her
full house, for the poor street beggars
seem to expect more assistance at this
season than any other; and many pitiable
cases are fou yht out and relieved by the

General John 4. Logan.
The E.e.o of the Fisz John Porter OPPOSE
tic His Career as a Lawyer. So
dier, Representative and
Senator.

W r. Curtis in Philadelphia Times.
However men may differ as to the
calibre of John a. Logan's statesman
ship, no one will deny that he is one OF
the most remarkable men in public life,
with a remarkable career behind him
and remarkable hold upon the masses
of the people. His lack of culture is
sneered at by those who are not gener-
Gus enough to consider that it is his
misfortune rather than his fault but
among those who are situated as he
once was he stands as an illustration OF
the possibilities every lad in this coun-
try has before him.
Logan was developed by the war.
The cavalry bugler sounded the key
note of his character. and in an atmUs-
phere Of dust and powder he grew great.
A country lawyer, who found his highest
ambition in stirring the languid blood
of the criminal jury, sprang suddenly
to the head of an army, without previ-
Gus military education, by the mere
force of his courage and his martial in
stincts. He was the representative of
the loyal millions, the beau ideal of the
volunteer soldier, and is such in history
will he live. He rose alone. He was
no mans protege and the satellite of no
sun. His success was won against OPP
position, and was acknowledged be-
cause it was deserved.
If the war had not developed him
some other opportunity would have
brought him out. Even the darkness
of the Illinois Egypt could not have
shroudeI his light. His zeal ard in
dustry, his force of character and the
qualities of leadership with which nature
gifted him could not have been sup
pressed, but the war offered an oppor'
tunity that brought him suddenly ano
favorably to the public view and he
earned place of which the future car
not deprive him.

THE LOGAN ORIGIN.

The story that he has Indian blood
in his veins is 4 myth, founded upon
the color of his skin and hair. and is
totally untrue, unless the tabled kings
of Ireland were related to the North
American savage. His father was a
physician, John Logan by name, and
came to America from Ireland only
three years before the Senator was born.
His mother was Elizabeth Jenkins and
her family lived in Tennessee. Logan
| was born at Murphreysboro,a littletown
| among the hills that hem in the Missis-
sippi river, and was the oldest of eleven
children. On the 9th of February last
Logan was fifty-eight years old.
His early education was such only as
the frontier afforded and was gained al
his mothers knee and at the log school
! house where an itinerant teacher at in
tervals presided. When he was eigh-
teen years old he was sent to the near.
est school, called Shiloh Academy, un.
der the jurisdiction of the Methodist
church, and graduated from it into the
Mexican War. He joined the First
Illinois Regiment as private, but the
military instinct developed and he aft
| erward became lieutenant and selveC
| both as adjutant and quartermaster @
his regiment. At the close of the wa
he went into the law office of his uncle
| Alexander Jenkins, who was grea
| man in Southern Illinois, Jacksoniar
Democrat and at one time Lieutenan
, Governor of his state.
1t was the love of contest that tool
him at once into politics, and in 105
he was elected Clerk of Jackson county
BY means of the revenues of this office
he was enabled to carry on his law
studies and took course of lectures a
Louisville during the following year
which constituted and completed hi:
legal education. At once upon his re
turn from Louisville, in 1852, he wa
elected Prosecuting Attorney of Jack

elected and gaining local Leadership

HIS NATURAL ELOQUENCE.

At this point he began his career as
a stump orator, and his speeches were
considered remarkable examples of elo-
quence, giving him a reputation that
sent him to Congress in 1858. He was
an earnest Douglass man, and being re-
nominated to Congress in 1860, stumped
the state with great success.
Right here came a critical period in
his career, and, although there are men
who still assert that his sympathy was
with the secessionists, there is plenty of
evidence that the South had no claim
upon him that, whatever his original
sentiments may have been, his public
utterances we're always loyal, and that
when the crises came he was on the
right side The country he lived in
was full of Southern sympathizers, his
mothers family were secessonist and
his surroundings made loyalty unpopu-
lar. The story that he rendered his
services to Jefferson Davis is contra
dictsd by that gentleman, who says he

on the subject of internal improve
ments has always voted for liberal ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors and
has given his support to railroad land
grant measures. His personal honesty,
however, has never been doubted and
his poverty is the best evidence Of his
integrity. Having been in public life
almost since he reached his majority
and having given his entire time to
politics, he has had no time to engage
in lucrative employment and his en-
tire property consists Of a residence on
Calumet avenue in Chicago, which is
worth from So, 900 to $50, 900, and a

linois.
LOGAN'S DOMESTIC LIFE.
He resides in Washington at board
ing house on Twelfth street, occupying
two modest rooms, the same in which
he has lived for twelve years. In his
domestic relations General Logan has
been one of the most happy and for
tunate of men. In 1855 he married
Miss Mary Cunningham, of Shawnee
town, ILL.,, and she has proven a most
valuable helpmeet, being as good, if
not better politician than himself,
and lady of great refinement as well
as intellectual force. There is no wo-
man in public life who possesses more
admirable traits than Mrs. Logan, and.
what is unusual, her popularity with her
own sex is quite as great as with the
other She can write a speech on fl
nance or dictate the action of polti-
cal caucus with as much ease and
grace as she can preside at dinner
party or receive the guests at a ball
and has been known to perform all of
these difficult duties on the same day.
No one whose intimacy with the Lo-
gan family has given him knowledge
of its past will deny to Mrs. Logan the
credit of being her husbands most
energetic advocate and judicious adj
wiser, and at the same time a devoted
mother. She has two children, a
daughter, who is the wife of Paymaster
Tucker, of the army, now stationed at
Santa Fe, and son, Manning, who is
a cadet at West Point having inherited
his fathers military ambition. Both Of
them have been educated by her, or
under her personal supervision both
have been constantly at her side; in
the camp, during war time and in the
most exciting political campaigns, she
has never for a moment neglected the
duties of her household or forgotten
Der children's claims. As a society
woman she is graceful and accom-
plished i'll charities she is always &C
tive and generous in religion she is a
devout Methodist and what she can
not do and do we'll has never vet been
discovered.
