The emigrant war is fast approaching

ocean rate is now $40, including COM
missions, which makes it practically 81

cago is 81. This ought to tempt the
starving millions of Europe to our hos
pitable .prairies. The cut has not extend

roads are making the most of the cheap

advertises a through rate of $4S from
Bremen to Portland, with, Of course,
proportionate rates to points on the

''Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence"
1t may he of some interest to some of
our readers, familiar with the writing of
the late George Elliot, to know the
ideas of the wonderful woman in regard
to Immortality. In an interview with
Robt. Buchanan she said:
We are wandering toward deep waters But ii

of the human faculties and senses, one by one, is
the strongest argument agains the popular concep-
ton of personal Immortality. Not only do men

it Frequently becomes perverted. have seen an
old gentleman, hitherto known as an immaculate
and honest merchant, gradually acquire habits OF
kleptomania, and another. we'll known for his
benevolence, become spiteful, almost homicidal.
We are absolutely the creatures of our secretions.
So true ie this that the slightest disturbance of the

will pervert the entire stream of moral senti-
ments. Structural destruction is absolute and
irremedial. An organism. once destroyed, is in

ism. 1t is very ptiful but absolutely true.
Such a manifestation of wickedness

MISSIONARIES FROM DAKOTA.
Washington, Jan. 2s.-There is a
strong democratic lobby here from Da-
kota, headed by Barney Caultield, of
Deadwood, working for the division bill
before the house. They express conf
dence in effecting desirable result;
which for them is to get rid of North
Dakota domination. One thing they
are especially hopeful of accomplishing
and that is to throw doubt on the au-
thority of Bismarck as the capital of the
territory. The claim to have Governor
Pierce in sympathy with their expecta-
tions, his influence being counted OH to
tie the hands of North Dakota from op-
posing the southern part of the territory
in the effort for division. A good deal

democratic. and some credence is givel

MISS ROSE E. CLEVELAND,
The Presidents Sister I'm the Role of
an Authoress.
Inter-Ocean.

Rose Elizabeth Cleveland was the
youngest of nine children born TO
Richard and Anna Cleveland. Her
native home was in Fayetteville, n.
Y, from whence her parents removed
to Clinton when she was a little girl.
and later 20 Holland Patent, little
hamlet near Utica, where her father
took charge of the Presbyterian
church in 1858. Her father died ia
that year, leaving little Rose an Or
phan at the age of Z. The parsonage
had to be given up, and the education
Of Rose became the mothers life
thought and labor. In later years she
was sent to Houghton Seminary,
where she proved brilliant pupil.
graduating with the highest honors,
"Original People" was the theme of
her graduating essay, her audience
pfonouncing it most happy effort.
Miss Rose then became teacher in
the Houghton Seminary, when, after
remaining in that position two years,
she went to Lafayette, Ind, as prin-
cipal Of the collegiate institute in that
town.
She afterward taught in Pennsyl~
vania at private school for short
time, and then conceived the idea of
lecturlng before classes, and proposed
to the principal of the Houghton Sem
mary to make the beginning at her
Alma Mater.
The latter entering heartily into the
arrangement, Miss Cleveland wrote
course of historical lectures which she
delivered that season. AS she devoted
herself to her aged mother, she was
unable to leave Holland Patent to pur-
sue her work con 5inuously until after
her mothers death ia the summer of
1882.
After this sad event her brothers
and sisters naturally expected that she
would make her home with one of
them, but being of an independent
nature and self-rellant, she preferred
to remain in the old home, where she
continued to live when not away lee
turing until she assumed the position
as mistress of the White House.

Names Gum CrOD.
Portland (Me.) Press.


This IS a great gum year Ia Maine,
especially on the Penobscot, and now
that the sun is climbing up iAto the
north little and the Iumbermen are
coming out, the air is fairly redolent
with the perfume of spruce. The
logs, knees, and bark are not only
valuable parts of the great timber
tree, for the gum is worth consider
able, even in its rough state, just as it
is hacked from the crotches of the
old trees.
There are two or three firms in
Maine which buy large quantities of
it from lumberpoen and gum hunters
for the purpose Of refining it, as they
say, But as a general thing the re-
fning consists of adulterati0n with
resin. They throw it into big kettle,
bark and all, and boil it into about
the consistency of thick nolasses,
sklmming the impurities off as they
rise to the surface. Then, If the pur-
pose be TO adulterate, some lard Or
grease and lot of resin is added. in
some cases little sugar. The mix
ture then becomes thicker, and after
more stirring is poured out on a slab,
while it is yet hot it is rolled out in a
sheet about quarter of an inch thick,
and then chopped with steel die into
pieces half an inch wide and three
quarters of an inch long. These
pieces are wrapped in tissue paper and
packed in wooden boxes. There are
two hundred pieces IN box.
Some gum is treated in this way
without aduIteration. The best gum
comes from no particular locality, but
always from the biggest trees. The
loggers, in their many idle hours by
the camp fire, whittle out miniature
barrels from blocks of cedar or white
pine, hollow them out and fill them
with the choicest gum the woods af
ford for gifts to their sweethearts,
children or friends when they come
down" in the spring.

In an Arkansas town, several nights
ago, a mob, led by desperate man,
marched to the jail, dragged a murder
er from cell, and hurried with him
to the outskirts of the town, Each
man wore an expression of determin-

resolve. The prisoner attempted to
speak, to beg for his life, bat the burly
hands closed around MS throat and the
prayer he would have uttered went
out in an inarticulate gurgle. When
the Infatuated men reached large
oak they halted. One of them threw
a rope over a limb. Gentlemen, ?"
said the prisoner, ''please give me a
chance to say g word" ''Be quick
about it," some one shouted. ''Gen~
