The universally of gambling, under
the head of speculation, is n of the
noteworthy features of the times. On
the face the transaction is decorOus
and business like. A clergyman can go
through these forms without staining
the cloth he wears. There is at the mo-
ment an air of intense responsibility
about a proceeding which, in fact, is a
desperate gamble with loaded dice or
stocked cards. The selling of a thing
for delivery at future time, or dealing
in futures, lies at the bottom of the new
system. Wheat and grain gambling,
supplemented by pork has been the pc
culiar feature of Chicago. New York
operates in railroad telegraph and oil
stocks. In London the element of I'M
certainty necessary in gambling is found
in foreign bonds. This is probably the
highest game of the whole lot. The
dealers are diplomats, generals and ru-
lers. New treaties, new combinations,
popular disturbances, rumors of wars
are the tools. They take the place of
the cards and the wheel. Coming
back over the road above trav-
eled, railroad and bank presi-
dents are the dealers in New York.
Ceoked-up statistics and meteorological
surmises form the basis in Chicago.
The whole business wherever it is prac-
tiecd, reposes on a foundation of misrep-
resentation, and foreign complications,
of the results of battles, about railroad
combinations and earnings, about the
damage done to cereals and about every
thing calculated to elevate or depress
the gamble. Nothing is now more sur
prising than the immense mass of that
kind of fabrication that is found in cir
culation. Selling futures of all kinds
has become such a widespread and com
man business, that the utmost difficulty
is experienced in the efforts to read cur
rem events, so great is the distortion Of
every fact, political, industrial and COM
mercial, that can in any way be bent to
the purposes of speculation. So
ciety will in time be forced to pro-
tect itself from this demoralizing tend
ency. So rough is the gambling that
other peoples money is always pre-
ferred by the operator. There will be
no improvement so long as that excuse
is supposed to separate the case from
vulgar theft. What society is going tC
do to remove this cance 10 one car
forecast. That it will have to do some,
thing is beyond question.

The friends of the higher education
of women in England are reioiced over
the fact that Oxford has at last followed
the example of Cambridge, Edinburg
and London Universities in throwing
open examinations to women The
statute, framed to give effect to this
movement toward educational equality,
was recently submitted to "convoca-
tion,' or the great body of registered
graduates, who approved it by a vote
of AGA to 321. The London Times says :
"Henceforth women will be tested by
the same standards as men in the studies
which they pursue in common, and
they will enjoy at Oxford a fair field
and no favor" Woman's rights in
Great Britain, so far as higher educa-
ton is concerned, seem to be ahead of
progress made in that direction in the
United States.

JAMES q. BLAINE,

Mr.. Blaine was born at Indian Hill
Farm, Washington county, Pa, Jan. 81,
1880. His grandfather was with Wash
ington at Valley Forge, and named his
county after his old chief. At fifteen
Blaine went to school at Lancaster,
Ohio, living in the house of Tom Ewing,
then secretary of the treasury. In185O,
he graduated from Washington college
and became tutor in the Blue Lick
Springs, military academy. There he
met Miss Stanwood, a Massachusetts,
girl, teaching in the Millersburg female
seminary, twenty miles off, and mar
ried her. He returned, in a year to
PENNSYLVANIA and studied law, but never
practiced. In 1852 he moved to Maine,
and with aid from the Stanwoods'
became editor, of the Kennebec
Journal, and later of the Port
land Advertiser. In 1858 he was elected
to the legislature; and five times en-
ioyed reelection, beng speaker the last
two terms. In 1862 he went to con-
gress. His first term was spent In
quiet studying, but after that he came
prominently before the country and
was elected speaker of the Forty-frst,
Forty-second and Forty-third con-
crosses. In June, 1876, Mr.. Blaine
was appointed by the governor eff
Maine to fill the vacancy in the senate
caused by the resignation of Lot M.
Morrill,, who had been made secretary
of the treasury. On the meeting of
the Maine legislature in January, 1877,
Mr.. Blaine was promptly elected for
the full term ending March A, 1888. In
both branches he was a persistent and
terrible debater against the South as
massed on the Democratic side of house
and senate. In 1876 Mr.. Blaine's NOM
nation seemed certain at Cincinnati.
His rivals were B. II. Bristow, Roscoe
Conkling and John E. Hartranft, gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. So long as there
was a possibility of Blaine's nomina-
ton, the supporters of Bristow, Conk-
ling and Hartranft remained steadfast.

Explicati0n OF The Law of COmpcn-
satiOn.

BY knowledge the intelligence Of
The world is being called upon by pub
lie Expositions Of Industry and Art,and
on every occasion representatives from
every State and nation confer together
in reference to rising questions, affect
ing the progress Of the moral and So
cial relations OF the human race, to
have the people and industries repre-
sented, and with the knowledge Of
one another, the material prosperity OF
all may be promoted.
Reverhantly propitious in the even
tide Of this century, is the hera]dry OF
peace and good will, so manifestly la
den with compensation. With multi
piled observation let us investigate this
law to find the key exempting al that
will from the complaint Of the I'M
weary and the simple. This conserva-
tive law is ever actively unfolding the
light Of Truth and illuminating anima-
ting principles rs gracefully impulsive

ity Of man, cardinal doctrine pro-
rlamatcd from the acclivity of highest
intelligence, and recognized i'll the
grandeur of its moral beauty and SUI
ticiency, reaching towards the prize of
mans palladium. the generic magma
charta.
Finding in these rcvcries a doctrinal
law OF compensation, with all the
needed support for the expansion Of
the inner and spiritual man-for what
yc SOW, that also shall ye reap, impcn-
,lant and impenetrable. Man cannot
appropriate the umwrought and mex
,,ressible, for here is the line, beyond
which it is impossible for human be-
ings 10 form practical Judgment, for
this reason there is a higher contingent
power that moves all created things
for force Of law Divine.
The purpose Of the omnipotent mind,
10 man has. nor ever will find ont; it
is beyond h'lman understanding while
knowledge embraces this fundamental
law of distrihutive compensation, for
it deals alike with all classes deserving

obedience to this incorruptible pen
sionary law of compensation, for it is
impellently being registered in the
book of remembrances for time and
for eternity, unerring as the magnet,
invariably guiding the voyager through
the labyrinths of time, while the ele-
ments show their unlimited sway.
Man is detcrminative, and dwindles in
the span, indiscriminately proclivous
and at variance with the promptings
Of the higher constitutional endow-
ment, for by the rule Of retrospection
we can only rightfully look for COM
pensation in the direction in which we
move and labor in the audience of
truth. The accomplishment OF this
achievement will suffice to control what
once seemed uncomfortable.
Man must prepare in his prelude Of
caste to meet the new order Of exist
encc, and they that seek shall find the
recOmpensc in the resurrection OF life
ascension OF the spirit. Mans ac-
countability, his accor dance. h,s indi-
vidual agency fully engaged, will op-
portunely satisfy the demands Of soul
life, and SO avoid and overcome arising
false conditions. Therefore, earnestly
work and patiently wait, dwelling
upon this perpetual law; the same yes
terday. to-day, and foreve:, transmit
ting evolutions in its transit over mind.
Thus compliantly is the soul redeemed
for transmigration.
This law of compensation is the
acant courrtur, impressing every mind
with the condition to gain and impart
knowledge, while illiteracy has left its
impress as is SO frequently found in
construction and cOntravention Of jus
ticc and contrariety of Judgment, be-
dragging along the pathway of life
this great and benevolent law unap-
preciated. unvalued. But neverthe-
less, whether man will hear or forbear,
it Is the same conservatory law of
force which moves all creation. We
find it furrows with the farmer in the
field; is the day-book Of the merchant;
is the sheet-anchor of commerce; is
the compass of the trader; is the lab
oratory of the shop; is the tactics of
the soldier; is the gem of the miner;
is the chart OF the mariner; is the

solhers wisdom; is the vade mecum of

The Bullwark of constitEti nlal liberty.
10 all reviewers it matters not v h 1t

Gnicioli was ''yery proud and fond of

poetry, and which ho was in the habit
