Women as Editorial Writers.

AS a rule women write, when writing az
editors, with more spirit. and often with more
force, than men. Several editoria! articles
written by women have drawn the fire of nearly
the whole State as being too virile, daring and
strong-and the one particular article that the
editor of the Register has been lampooned for
moro than any other as being so strong as to be-
actually martial and beyond the lines of courage.

Frank Leslie's Weekly.
Mr.. Gould is a man Of information and expert
ence; he has known what it is to be poor he
understands how steep and rugged are the accliv-
tiles by which men climb to comfort and useful
ness; he knows that the needs of the weak, in a
world where all men akin. must be supplied
out of the fullness of the strong. Why should
not he, in harmony with the dominant spirit of
this later day, find some way to invest some of
his fortune for the public, by recalling his mill
ions from their wanderings, and making them in
the only true sense his own-for this life and the
life to come?

Five at a Birth.

A remarkable story comes from
Henry county, Ohio, just west OF
Toledo, which, lift were not thorough
ly substantiated, would be hardly
credible. It's to the effect that sever
al days ago the wife of Wilhelm
Freund, German farmer, gave birth
to five children, all boys, and that all
the infants are well formed and alive.
When a correspondent Investigated
this stupendous increase he found
that the event is but one of series
that have happened in this interest
ing family. Mrs. Freund is thirty
six years ofage, and during her nine
teenth years of married life has given
birth to twenty-one children, eighteen
of whom are now alive. The other
three lived to various ages over q
year.
The mother is described as comely
German. woman, rawboned and spare
and the father short and solid, but
not portly. This happy couple live
on a small farm, which the husband
tills with the assistance of his numer.
GUS progeny. Some of the children

forts of missionaries.
A. c. Doris and A. w. Meacham

OBITUARY.

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN
l returned home this morning from
Canton, in which place I was called
yesterday morning, to preach the fun
eral of Seldom L. Major late of
GAINESVILLE, Tenn. This very estima-
BILE young man was the son of G. I'll.
and M. j. Major, of Canton, Ky.
His early opportunities were good
and he acquired a good business ed
ucation /; for several years, he had been
connected with business firm in
GAINESVILLE, Tenn. Such was his
gentlemanly bearing and honorable
dealing, that he made friends of all
with whom he had business transac-
tions. He was universally popular
among the young people, handsome
in person, polished in manners, re-
fined and cultivated, he made friends
in every circle in which he moved.
A few months since his health began
to decline, and he returned to his
parental home, to spend his last days.
Some months since he protested faith
in Christ, and oil the 18th Of Oct,
last, was baptized by the writer and
received into the Baptist church in
Canton, Ky. His last hours were
peaceful and hopeful, not cloud in
his way, in the midst of loved ones
he breathed his last on the 23rd ult.,
leaving fond parents, brothers and
sisters, and large circle of friends
to mourn his loss. Farewell young
brother:
"Calm on the bosom Of thy God,
Rests thy pure spirit now,
Even while with us thy last steps trod
His was on thy brow.
Dust to its narrow house beneath,
Soul to it's place on high
They that saw thy book in death,
No more may fear to die.
Lone is the path and sad the hour,
Since thy bright smile is gone
But oh a brighter hour than ours,
In Heaven is now thine own"
