PIKE o,c.,la.han

Seldom, ifever, has Kittson Hall been
6tlsd - It was last Tuesday evening,
when the! amusing Irish drama, "Pike
OEallaghan" was presented by our dra-
matte club. Every seat wa; occupied and
the available Standing room did not more
than meet the demand. There were a
few presentffom neighborlng towns, but
the audience were mainly citissns Of
Pembina, and the members Of the club
feel sratiiied for the liberal patronage Of
our people, and the interest they have
manifested in their work. The recent
improvements on the hall and stage adj
[ded not . little to the comfort aud enjoy
ment Of the evening. The stage has been
re6tted and furnished at considerable
cost, and further improvements are con-
templated. Much credit lie certainly due
the management for the enterprise they
are displaying. Although the expense
incurred was not less than 500, the club
will be able to pay one hundred cents on
the dollar. We think our people will
do well to patronise an institution that
is organized and maintained by
homo talent rather than to- con-
tribute to the support Of those who are
mot directly interested in the welfare of
our town. Ofthe play itsclf We have

Editor pIoyrcR-ExfREM:
II may be allowed space would like
to refer TO correspondence BY E. Arm
strong, in late issue of the PIONEER Ex-
PRESS. I infer from the tone Of his COM
Eunication that lie would contend that
the favmers themselves are wholly to
blame for the present depression. and
that If they would bring No. l hard to
market they would yet No. l hard for it.
1t is ut least apparent that Mr.. Armstrong
is not engaged in farining just now. His
Illustrations ntay appear. plausible
enough to the noninterestcd reader, but
when perused by the farmer who is
both interested and experienced in his
business there is something wanting.
When q farmer takes txo loads Of grain
from one bin, knowing that they are Of
the same grMle and takes them to
market and receives different grades for
e,sc!l load. it will require hotter argu.
mcnts than Mr.. A. Y can bring forward
to convince him that he received just
grades for his wheat. Tho price .,
Wheat may vary, but grades should re.
main the same approximately, and farm.
ers from this neighborln,od have been
repeatedly been awarded different grade,
ut the s,,me elevator Tor wheat OF identical
sample. Hoping you will not find me
prag,natic, 1 am yours respectfully,

American Literature.

Why n Republic Is Better Fitted for the
 Growth of Literature Than q Mon-
 archy.
 An audience of between two and three hundred persons, mostly young ladies. gath cred at High School hall Monday evening. The Amateur orchestra of twelve pieces, of this city, rendered some pleasing selections. The lecturer of the evening, Col T. w. Higgin- son, chose for his subject Letters" He was introduced by Dr. Barbour, of Yale col lege. He said that the place of literature in American society is one of honor, but that to be called literary man was compliment that was not quite compliment. American literature has not quite established itself in general recognition. Its quality is all right, but it's quantity is limited. England or Ger many or France yields three or four times as much of good literature year. And much American literature has notstood sitting we'll Few American writers of fifty years ago are destined to last another fifty years. Fame can be secured more easily by literature than by wealth But the work of subduing this great continent must come before the development of literature and art. We have made great studies, considering this fact A republic has the advantage for the develop ment of literature over monarchlcal form of government The greater self rs spect that is developed in republic is seen in the fact that there is no class of nobility to exer- else in definite WAYS it's grasp upon the best writers Voitaire felt the power of the French nobility. In 8 republic there is no ar- tincial society above the man who writes. The tendency among the literary men in London is to divide up into fixed sets aud circles. whereas in republic men are open to all influences. and gain broader kno~l- edge Little barriers of separation remain ir a monarchy which would melt away i'll republic Carlyle was slwsy chaf1ng at the barriers and obstacles he found in the Eng fish society. Our literary men have the advantage of freer efforts and larger life than exist in a monarchy In the vehicle of his ~xpression the writer in 8 republic has an ad- =antaga over tho writer in monarchy Wig orous English comes from the common people. But popular education h necessary to keep popular speech from running into indi crim mate forms where the pronouns and substan- tives are wofully mixed up Only in a re public is real popular education possible. With the advantages mentioned the ultimate success of literature in 8 republic is sure.
 The lecture was amply illustrated by bright anecdotes and tipged with clever terms of satire which greatly amused the audience. he lecture Eas in every way satisfactory and the teachers are to be congratulated 0pon the success of their lecture course thus far.

am not in the habit of speaking strongly on such occasions, r. can say of him in truth. that he lived the life in Christ in consistent way. And, while this consistent life will be bene6cient legacy to his children, it will be no small thing for them to equal his example in the church and the community.
 Our brother loved the house of God and it's worship. gentleman testified to me yesterday of his unfailing regularity in the sanctuary. He might not have said much to others about the keeping of the Sabbath; but these long years of Sabbath worship have | been one powerful sermon on that sub- ject. He will be missed in this neighborhood as friend, neighbor, a wise counselor and good man. He will be ID iss- long an hoHored member. He loved the

 which you see traces on his sleeping face showed how he enjoyed the worship of the Lords house. Our brother was ap patriotic citizen, sending four of his sons into his country's service in the civil war, of
 whom two gave their lives for our nation al life He has left only one brother behind him, who, himself in feeble health, is not able 60 os nere to day and might have expected to

 when I saw him on Monday; but he was sleeping the sleep of exhaustion and from that time he sank quietly away. His life gen. tly closed on Tuesday evening, January 9, at o'clock. The words of the late pr. Leonard Bacon may fitly characterize his life, and especially it's gentle close: 1 SBail, tranquil hour of closing day! l Begone, dis urb ng carei l And ook my ul, from earth away, To him who hsareth prayer. l How sweet the tear of psnitenoe B'fore his thro, @ ot grace While. to the contrite spirits sense, He shows his smnng face. 1 How sweet, thro' long remembered years, 1 His mercfes to recall; And, pressed with wante and e1iefs and fears, l To trust his lOvo for All' How sweet to look, in thoughtful hope, l Be5ol Fhis ding sky, And bear htl. call h 8 children up ] To his fair home on high. l Calmly the day forsakes our heaven To dawn bel oL the vest | So let my soul, iu hfe's lsst even, Retire to glorious reet 7"

 HARTFORD, Jan. 29. Special Correspon6ence of the JOURNAL COURIER
 This was the eighth day of the session of the General Assembly, and it being the first session day of the week, there was compar- atively good attendance of members and twenty. one seats were occupied in the Senate when it was called to order. A few of the committees were in session this afternoon, but the assignments were unimportant. In the Judiciary committee it was voted to hear parties interested in the bill transferring the office of registrar of births, marriages and deaths to Boards of Health on Tuesday next at o'clock. MT. Whedon, clerk of the Board of Health of New Haven, states that he will be ready with witnesses at that time.
 The TemperaI ce committee are getting ready for work and will probably hear evil dence in regard to some proposed amend ments to the present law during the present week
 The other committees show a disposition E0 WOrK promptly gnu 4Ston tO SAy A0'SSAS that are phced before them for copsideration'
 The fact is quite apparent that the session is not to be as short as was an icipated at the opening of the session and that it may be proiong' beyond the limit of former ss- -emblies That this may not be the case every good Christian in any way connected with the Legislature will earnestly pray There is something to bo considered when short session is considered. MT. Harrison Is an excellent speaker, MT Case of Granby is an excellent leader and there is reason why business should not be disposed of in rapid manner, provided the committees are prompt in reporting In the Senate the leader is Senator Scofield, who is prompt in explaining all bills reported from that most important of committees, the Judiciary, and with these gentlemen at the helm it would seem that prolonged session is unnecessary Fnllowin is the business transacted in the ~enste and House to-day
