BILL ARP ON WOMEN.

There is no record anywhere in
any history of happy married state
where a man had more than one wife.
Lamech had two, but the scriptures
say nothing more about him. Adam
didn't have but one and Noah one,
and they started the business of peo-
pling the world. Old Father Abra-
ham had one, and when he took an
other on the sly, old Aunt Sarah got
aftel him and she ''railed out the
second one with thrash pole and
run her off, Jacob had two, and if
ever a man deserved two he did;
but they didn't get along well, even
though they were sisters. Moses
had but one. King David had sew
eral, but he was cursed with 'em,
and actually committed murder to get
rid of one of 'em, and lived in anguish
ever after, for he said, "My sin is
ever before me-" Old Solomon must
have had an awful time of it, for he
had a thousand, and they kept him
so harassed and bedeviled that he
flew to his inkstand and wrote that
he found one good man, but good
woman in a thousand he had not
found. Of course not. How could
woman be good when she was
the thousanth part of wife! But
Solomon repented of his folly and
said it was all vanity, and advised
all men to "live joyfully with the
wife whom thou lowest" and to 'be-
ware of strange women" | never
think of these surplus wives who are
sealed to the Mormons without a
feeling of sadness and pity, for eV-
ery new one causes the others pang
of shame. They are all in prison
and their dependence is like that OF
the Gagged bird that tamely looks to
its keeper for food. There is no es-
cape, for woman IS a proud creature
and will suffer in silence rather than
parade her folly to the world. Did
you ever notice how a woman will
suffer and be strong, especially If
she has a child or children to keep
her company.-"BiN Arp," IN Attdn-
ta Constitution.

HOME TOPICS.

Blue Holland shades, with inser-
ton and edge of antique lace, make
a pleasing change from the red ones
which are and have been so popular.
These shades are especially adapted
for windows in doors, and for bed
room windows. Like the scarlet
ones, they do not show dust, and
wear as we'll as white or cream-color-
ed ones do. Under white muslin
curtains in a bedroom curtains of
common turkey-red calico net only
answer well for lining, and give
softened light to the room, but are
durable also, as they can be washed
without fading.
Tarlatan is much better to embroi-
der on than paper, even than the
thinnest kind the tarlatan can pc
drawn out a thread at a time, so
there is less danger of disturbing the
embroidery. The design may be
transferred to the tarlatan by means
of impression paper. Have the de-
sign neatly and carefully drawn on
tracing paper, then put the impress
sion paper between this and the tar
latan, then go over every line and
dot with sharp pencil. In this way
you save the expense of stamping,
and the cost of the paper is trifiing.
If you are able to make original de-
signs you can use them to good adj
vantage. This method is especially
applicable to embroidery on plush,
velvet or satin.
If your old stand or small table
needs upholstering to make it look
respectable, try this way of doing it !:
Cover the top with dark, double-fac-
ed Canton flannel, then sew or tack
a deep fringe around the edge. This
can be bought in all colors and
widths, and the wider or deeper it is
the prettier.
1t is still "good FORM to ornament
the lamp shade by covering the por-
celain over with thin outer cover
ing of tinted silk and lace, or of lace
alone, put on in rows over tarlatan
or fine net.
1t is actually refreshing sometimes
to 90 into house where economy
must be considered and see how much
may be done with slight expenditure.

A PITIABLE LETTER FROM
MRS. CHISOLM.

An effort is being made to create
fund for the benefit of Mrs. J. P.
Matthews, the widow of the J. P.
Matthews who was recently murder
ed at Hazlehurst, Miss, by his dem
ocratic neighbors, for daring to vote
for the ticket which he thought best
expressed his sentiments. Mrs.
Chisolm, the widow of a Mississippi
man who was murdered under simi-
lar circumstances some years ago,
accompanies her contribution with
the following pitiful letter to Wash
ington paper:
81 see by editorial notice you re-
ceive small contributions for the wife
of the murdered Matthews, of Copi-
ah County, Mississippi. Will you
do me the kindness to accept the en-
closed? 1t is but a mite-would it
were more. My heart bleeds at the
recollection of my own experiences
in Mississippi. At the close of that
dreadful April Sabbath, before me
lay, within space of few feet,
Johnnie, our dear son, with his little
hand shot off and his young heart
shot out; Cornelia, our daughter
baby, bleeding literally from head to
foot, exhausted and with none TO
bind her wounds; my husband, truly
the image of his God murdered by
those eXulting
In cowardice so mean, in infamy so vast,
That hell gives in and devils stand aghast.
Nv husband said to me: NV
death will not 60 unavenged nor be
in vain. The republican party is too
loyal to every principle of freedom.
They of the north will rouse them
from their lethargy, and make it i'm
possible that such crimes can be re-
enacted. My death will effect more
than thus far living [ could do
When / have prayed at the feet of
Justice, kneeling in the very dust of
entreaty, remembering his words, [
have begged for legal retribution for
the sake of the living republicans of
the south. and have been soothingly
told, They dare no more to do such
crime They waited not till the
blood of my beloved had ceased to
voice the Lords question to Cain till
in the same shameless state they
made Henry Gully, the murderer of
my daughter, member of the legis-
lature. The murder of Vance and
at various times and places of many
poor negroes have scarcely been re-
corded. Now the brave Matthews
uneasy sleep in a bloody grave takes
down another committee. No loyal
southerner, whether child, maiden,
OF of glorious manhood, is protected
in life under their own flag. Were
such crimes permitted in other lands
the American congress would be the
first by unanimous vote to utter pro-
test against MANS inhumanity to
man. EMILY S. M. CHIsoLM.

The Martyred Birds.

Though apple boughs are white with bloom,
And cowslips star the marshy mead,
No little lovers build their nests
On leafy limb and swaying reed
The woods are hushed; no martins break
The silence drear of field and glen;
No whir of wings in happy flight
Is heard along the sedgy fen.
By still lagoon and sylvan lake,
And where the laughing brooklets rum,
No tiny bathers plash the waves,
Nor mount to greet the morning sun.
In northern woods and western wilds
Dear Nature weeps her children slain;
From southern groves and isles of spice
Is borne this wandering woes refrain;
o woman, with your tender heart,
How can you take such sacrifice,
And rob the summer of its song,
To make you fairer in mems eyes?
How dare you fiaunt the dear, uead JOY
That caroled once in vale and dell?
Think of the songs it left unsung
When at the hunters feet it fell!
o sisters, let your protest ring
Through all the saddened, songless land,
Lest He who notes the sparrow's fall
Shall ask the slain birds at your hand.

CASTLE GARDEN.

Castle Garden is one of the most !
benefcent institutions in the world,
and owes it's present uses largely to
DR.. Friedrich Kapp, now a member
of the Imperial German Reichsrath,
but formerly a resident of New York.
1t is under the control of nine COM
missioners of emigration, appointed
for the term of six years by the gov
ernor, and confirmed by the senate
Of the state of New York. Thlther
let US follow portion of the 6730
immigrants who arrived by seven diff
ferent steamers on the 10Th of May,
1882. The name of each, the date
of his arrival, place of departure,
number of his family (if any,, with
er bound, his business, and other par
ticulars, are all registered. This re-
cord, together with that of the cabin
passengers, is compared with the
manifest of each captain, which man.
| ifest ought to exhibit the names of
all the persons he had ON board. 1t
thus becomes a check on the greed
of some who have brought more pas
sengers than the law permits, or than
were named in the manifests.
Not only do the commissioners Of
emigration protect their often help
less charges against the extortions,
robberies, and unspeakable villainies
of the human harpies who formerly
infested the docks, and preyed upon
the luckless incomers-not only do
they supply interpreters, maintain an
employment bureau, assist in the ex-
change of funds, purchase of tickets,
forwarding of immigrants and bag
gage-but they also license the board
ing-house runners, and subject them
to rigid supervision. They further
provide for the sick and disabled, the
lunatics, and the pregnant women
whose husbands, if sick, are sent to
the hospital on Wards Island, fur
nish medicine to the ailing and trus-
ses to the ruptured, and preserve re-
corded particulars Of all thus coming
under their special care by which
they may be found and identified il
the future.
Neai the information bureau from
1000 to 2500 people, waiting inquir.
ingly for their friends, have some.
times been congregated at one time.
The grandly benefcent work of the
emigration commissioners deserves
better medical facilities than the mis-
erably inadequate hospital accommo
dations at their immediate command
in Castle Garden. New York does
the work and bears the expense con
nected with foreign immigration, but
the whole country shares in its bene.
fits. The railroads especially profit
by it. The cash value of tickets pur-
chased by inward-bound immigrants
in 1881 was more than five million
dollars. Moneys TO the value of elev-
en- millions were exchanged in Castle
Garden, and the drafts, bonds, and
other representatives of specie value
brought in during the same year was
no less than one hundred million dol
lars. Castle Garden ought to be ;

Hereafter.

Two worlds there are, twin stars / think,
That circle at the misty brink
OF the heavens farthest loveliness;
The one white light glows from their spheres,
The one warm atmosphere appears
To hold them in its close caress.
1 saw them in a vision once,
When my glad being, lit by suns,
Upheld by spirit music, sailed
In an angelic ecstacy
Close to their shores, when l could see
Some portions of their grace unveiled.
L held my hands, my lips to reach,
To kiss their sacred soil, to teach
My eager soul this happiness,
My brain whirled with its deep desire
To penetrate their lambent fire
And all their glories to possess!
But flown the dream! for silently
They circled out of sight from me
Their gentle beauty and their glow
wonder-light, their landscapes fair,
The fragrant mildness of their air
O'er broad expanses white as snow.
feel when my work here is done,
My life of unrest in the sun
Is finished with its wearing task,
That then borne on the wings of love
I'll soar to those twin worlds above
And rule there-it is all 1 ask!
And 1, with power nd peace and love,
No wider realm will want above,
Than bounded by these perfect spheres.
Nor like the angel Ariel,
Nor as the tender Israel
Wish for the universe with tears.
I will alone their motions sway,
And be their light and see their day
In all its bright magnifcence!
Fulfilled the longing of my soul
That 1 enjoy, that I control
Their beauty and their love intense!

some OF the Incidents of Blaine's Early
Career.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
James G. Blaine's parontage and early
life combine in a singular manner the
advantages of both wealth and poverty.
His great-grandfather was commissary
general of Washington's army from l77s
to the close of the war, and his grand.
father bore the treaty Of peace of 1888
from England to tho United States.
They obtained large grants of land
in western Pennsylvania, including the
site of the present cities of Plttsburg and
Allegheny. Had Blaine's grandfather
and father held on to this land with rea.
sonable tenacity, James G. Blaine would
now have been the wealthiest citizen OF
the United States. In fact, how.
ever, James G.. was reared out oi
the profits of the office of prothonotary,
his father being land poor and unable
but for his fees of office, to send his son
to college. James g., therefore. had oil
the advantages of poverty, and began
life teaching school in Kentucky. Yet
he was educated in the family of the
Ewings, Of Ohio, and participated with
one of the Ewings in personal tuition at
the hands of Mr.. Lyons, brother of
Lord Lyons, one Of England's most
prominent ambassadors to the United
States. The sister OF James G.. Blaine
was the wife of Robert J. Walker.
There was everything in the carly as
pirations OF Blaine, therefore, to prepare
as we'll as stimulate him toward great
career. At twenty.eight years of age he
had won the confidence and recognition

Hamlin, and at thirty Thaddeus Stevens
recognized in him the elements of lead
ership III the affairs Of the nation. Read
Blaine's book and biography, and find
out who and what he is from the record
be has made for himself, and not from
the cartoons got mp by conscienceless
fools, who are not worthy to lift james
g. Blaine's shoe.latchet. 1t is becoming
doubtful in many minds, whether the
system of vilitication pursued concerning
statesmen in this country, by men too
ignorant to know anything whatever
about mans life, and too reckless to
inquire into it, will not have to
be corrected by the establishment of a
censorship, and sending villainous car.
