The recent elections in Germany fol
the Reichstag go to show that Socialism
is on the increase. The general suppo-
sition was that onlya few malcontents
in the towns were committed to Social
ism, but $50, 900 votes were cast for the
socialistic candidates has set the gov
eminent to thinking. An analysis OF
the vote ordered by the Imperial Chan
celor shows that the bulk of the new re-
cruits to Socialism are moderate men
who desire redress for the nor cry
ing evils resulting from an oyer-zealous
enforcement of ~repressive laws. Prince
Bismarck has taken the matter IN hand
and promises to make certain moderate
concessions. In this name he has di-
vided the deputies elected by the Social
lists, and will defeat the objects of the
more u~nrelenting of the malcontents.

TfuUne were to read each day the rec
ord of fires throughout the country he
would imagine that the fire fiend" had
full power in the land and the last con
tconfagration was well under way
And so of the reports Of business fail
,ures and wage-troubles which are now
so often to be met with in the newspa-
pers. If these items are noted and col
Iected they make a dismal record, but
we must remember that for every busl'

Iapses there are hundreds if not thous'

rHz POET.

When'er the poet writes a line
Whose final word is sober,
The dullest reader may divine
He sings about October.
Oh. wherefore will he never find
A new rhyme for October!
WHY won't he call the chilly wind
The ~sycamore's disorder?
Why won't he call each squirrel gray
The chestnut's nimble prober,
Wiener he sings his simple lay
OF russet-shod OctoberI
He en- might call the lily dead
The humble bees englober.
When singing of the gold and red
That g~loriies October.
Before I'd use that hackneyed rhyme
I'd sing about a crowbar,
And just for nice be unsublime,
And call the month October.

The dairying business has greatly in
creased in the Northwest, especially in
Iowa and Minnesota, owing in a great
measure to the establishment of cream
cries and the zeal of those who have
profted thereby. But the most sa-
gacious farmers do not advocate dairy
farms exclusively. They realize that
the evils attending exclusive wheat
raising, may follow exclusive dairying,
and that diversified farming is what pays
best in the long run. Cattle, hogs.
sheep, poultry, bees, corn, wheat and
other creals, and dairying with the rest,
afford surer prospects of independence
than any one by itself.

ritory has not yet borne unweIcoms
fruits, if the officials tell the truth.
The governor, In his annual report to
the federal authorities in Washington,
says: Although many of our citizens
are disposed to question the wisdom of
this law, especially when attended with
the requirements that women should
serve is jurors, it meets with the APP
proval of a large majority of the pep
pie. and the women of the territory are
for the most part strongly desirous that
the enactment be retained upon our
statute books. Thus far it seems at-
tended with no important results I'M
favorable ito the welfare of the people
,of the territory. Chief Justice Greene,
Of Washington Territory, in his last
charge to the Grand Jury, bears
the following testimony to the
coed effect Of women serving on juries
Twelve terms at court, ladies and gen
tlemen, I have now held, in which
women have served as grand and pett,
jurors. and it is certainly = fact beyond
dispute that no other twelve termsa,

might not be 50 favorable. But every

A Boston lawyer, Miss Leila j. Rob.
inson, has lately removed to Washing
ton territory which is an excellent field
for a lawyer other sex. Miss Robinson
is not one of the Belya Lockwood yarle-
ty of woman lawyers, who make notorie-
ty q substitute for legal knowledge, but
she has had a careful and thorough
professional education, which, with a
mind naturally acute and forcible, and
a valuable experience in some branches
of practice before leaving Boston,
makes a solid basis for genuine and
Legitimate success in her profession.
The bar of the territory, which includes
some lawyers of more than ordinary

favorable opinion Of her abilities, and
it is said hat she is likely to be elected

the clerk, and he led the way to the

The first cotton bloom of the sea-
son was handed us last Tuesday by
Mr.. s, II. Clement, who has been ex-
perimenting to some extent in order
to ascertain for his own satisfaction
whether cotton would do well in our
prairie lands, aud we are glad to say
he has become thoroughly convinced
that the staple can be made paying
crop on Calcssieu prairie lands, If
properly cultivated. Mr.. Clement also
handed US a stalk of timothy, which
is very fine, and demonstrates the fact
that this, too, can be raised prO6tably
in Calcasieu.

One of the growing principles in
life at the present day, is to reduce
the burdens of labor by expeditions
and convenient methods, to the most
simple form; and in consideration Of
this worldwide acknowledged fact
many eontriyanees have been brought
into requisition to accomplish this de-
sirsble end, some successfully, while
Others only served to make the duties
of every day life more laborious and
cumbersome. Another great object
among all classes Of people is to reduce
and simplify the daily duties of the
housewife, and with this fact in view
the Acme Washing Machine was in
vented for the purpose Of filling the
wants of women and simplifying the
laborious work of washing, one Of the
most arduous duties Of the housewife.
With the "Aeme" the labor Of wash
ing is reduced to mere psstime, as
more washing can be done in one hour
with it than 10 six by the old method
Of the washboard, and il is SO simple
that child Of II years can use II 70
as much advantage as grown person,
Washing, ripsing and wripging may
be done 10 the parlor, as il leaves no
slop or muss where used, and the
whole machine combined does not oe-
cupy as much room as one large sized
washtub, and the extreRous exertioD
Of lifting heavy tubs is entirely done
away with, and one hour and . half is
time enough to do the largest washing
in any private family.
