How q wife sheuld be Treated.

Only let a woman be sure that she is
precious to her husband-nOt useful not
valuable, not convenient, simply, but
lovely and beloved ;-let her he the re-
cipient of his polite and hearty atten-
tions; let her feel that care and love
are noticed a prteiated and returned ;
let her opinion he asked, her approval
sought, aud her judgment be respected
in matters Of which she is eognizant ;
in short, let her only be loved, honor
ed, and cherished, in fulfillment Of u e
marriage vow, and she will be to her
husband, and her children, and society,
u well-spring of pleasure. She will
bear toll, and pain, and anxiety for
her husbands love is TO her u tower
and fortress. Shielded and sheltered
therein, adversely will have lost its
sting.

to your prejudices against the South.
BY the way, doesn't he nowhere define
Ostracism for you? But, IL to ostracize
Hyperbolus, through whom the Greeks
humbled those in high stations, dis
graced Ostracism in Athens, to what
damnable depth would you reduce 1t
in Kentucky. This is simple problem
in proportion. Please state it thus
1 presume Goodrich has made you an
arithmetic-in proportion as II WAS
greater than SchoOlboy, just in that
proportion s will degrade Ostracism be-
low the point to which II brought it
remembering that Hyperbolus so ut
terly ruined the custom In Greece, that
he was the last ever Ostracized.
II Goodrich hasn't taught you to
make very figures lie, you will find that
when you are ostraeized you will carry
the institution with you so low that
the Devil himself may look for ii to be
set up i'm his domain. Oh, no, % y dear
little Peterkin, lay no such fiatfering
unctiOns to your sickly soul, there is
not the slightest danger of you ever
being ostracized, no difference IL every
State in the Union follows the goodly
work Of New York aud Virginia and
sixty millions Of people around you
turn ranting Democrats you will never
be ostrscized. Some enterprising kid
napper may string you ON a pole and
carry you off for a sign to an asylum of

might be forgot, but never, neuer Ostra-

Educate Them All.
Meade 60. News.l


When a farmer concludes to make "A
lawyer, doctor, preacher or merchant
of one of his sons, he selects the spright-
liest one and sends him to school until
he has learned all he can at home. then
he is sent to college to finish his educa-
tion after that he is given course in
the science of his chosen calling. Is
there any wonder that this class have
worked themselves to the front rank in
influence and social standing and "eat
white bread with a silver fOik?" The
other sons are suffered to grow up with
what little education they can obtain
during few months each winter, when
not needed to work on the farm, for as
they are to he nothing but farmers,
they are taught that education will be
of little benefit to them that the main
point is To work and save. Never a
word is said to them about the i'm
portance of a skilled and educated mind
To direct their labor I'm order that the best
results may follow. They are never
taught that the man who causes two
blades of grass to grow where there
was but one before is public benefac-
tor, ana that there are opportunities for
farmers to elevate themselves in the
scale Of progress. Now why not give
to the one who is to fill such important
positions as bread-raiser for the whole
world, the same chance for success in
life as you do the one who eats the
white bread? Full rs much, if not
more, depends upon his success as the
other. If he raises but half crop, the
world must go on half rations if he
wears out his farm and leaves it poor
and impoverished, the next generation
must suffer in consequence, and il he
starts without an education his mind
will rust out from constant disuse, and
he will raise family to follow in the
same rut, so that instead of raising the
farming interest to higher standard,
1t will gravitate to a lower one.

Lord Bute's Magnificent New Palace
Il


The rebuilding of Mountstuart, Lord
Bute's palace, near Rothesay, has been
completed, and it is one of the most
magnificent mansions in Great Britain
The house covers an acre, and is i'm the
medieval Gothic style of the thirteenth
century. The walls, turrets and bal
conies are built of stone brought from a
quarry in Kirkcudbrightshire. In the
center is all immense tower one hun
dred and twenty feet high, with wide
balcony all around the top.
Tue great hall is constructed entirely
of alabaster and the rarest marbles,
with columns and a gallery and the
grand staircase is also of marble brought
from Sicily and Carrara. The drawing
rooms are paneled with walnut and
beautifully decorated, and 30 are the
dining-rooms, the largest of which ac-
commodities eighty guests. The cell
ing and chimney pieces of all these
rooms are most artistic, and so also are
the windows, the work of which are
extremely elaborate. There are three
immense libraries and billiard-rOom,
all with carved stone fireplaces of an
tique design.
In one wing are Turkish and SWIM
ming baths, and there are large con-
servatOries and private chapel. The
whole house is heated by hOt-water
descent lamps. In the gallery will be
hung the famous Luton Hold collection
of pictures which have recently been
exhibited at Bethnal Green, Glasgow
and Manchester. The building, decor
ating and furnishing of this place have
cost nearly a million.

What a drinking man spends for
whiskey for his own personal use is but
small part of the real cost, compared
with the amount he spends on others
the loss of time, the neglect of business
and his unfitness for labor or business
at all times. Take all these effects, the
natural and inevitable results of exces-
sive drinking and it will ruin any man
financially and degrade him socially,
just In proportion as he indulges in the

The Marriage Of Cousins.
charleston News and Courier.

tndrlcslOn NeWs anu Oouflct-l
That which tends toward evil is evil
in itself, and the undesirability of mar
riages between cousins would appear to
be thus clearly demonstrated. Speak
ing plainly, no man and woman have a
right to marry whose union involves
the risk of physical ruin and lifelong
wretchedness to their children. Ma
ture has set the seal of condemnation
upon such union, and they are little
less than criminals who defy her laws.
The absolute character of this partieu-
lar law is manifested throughout the
animal kingdom. There is no excuse
for ignorance concerning it. So far as
we know, it is dangerous for cousins
to marry" and this acknowledged,
there is but one answer to the question,
shall cousins marry?

THE OKLAHOM4 Soluble.

Capt. Couch, the leader of the Oklahoma
boomers, referring to the recent report of
ex-Secretary LINCOLN, who says ''there are no
cattle runs in the disputed territory asserts
that there is not foot of land in Oklahoma
which is not claimed by cattle companies. He
mentions as occupants Of that territory which
ex-Secretaries LINCOLN and TELLER, in the
innocence of their hearts, represented to be
wholly untenanted, the following, most of
whom have put up buildings and fenced in
their ranges: The BERRY BROTHERS, 200, 900
acres; BURK g. MARTIN, 100000 acres; the
MCCLELLAN Cattle company, 500, 900 acres;
the WYETH Cattle company, 10000 acres;
FITZGERALD BROTHERS, 300, 900 acres, and the
Standard Oil company an immense range
and thousands of head OF cattle branded
"oil.n
If Capt. CoUCH's statements are true, and
they are well vouched for, it looks as if the
only real issue in the Oklahoma matter is
between the cattle syndicates, whose individ-
ual members want hundreds of thousands of
acres each to Craze their cattle upon, and the
individual actual settlers who want 100 acres
each for cultivation. So far the
government authorities have decided with
the syndicate and against the settlers. Sew
eral weeks ago the GLOBE showed that the
Indian title to the territory had been extin-
guished, and the government has the ALSO
lutte right to make disposition of It, The
land was purchased from the Creeks and
Seminoles in 1866 and all the purchase
money has been paid, the government pay
ing 80 cents per acre, more than was ever
before paid in the purchase of any lands
from the Indians. The land is of an excel.
lent quality. 1t is prairie and timbered, and
has a rich alluvial soil which will produce all
kinds of grains aud cereals. The following
varieties Of timber grow along the larger
streams, oak, walnut, pecan, blackberry, ash
and cottonwood, while pine and cedar are
found quite plentifully in the Wichita noun
tains. It seems to be a very harsh policy in
the government to allow cattle syndicates to
enter the territory and have undisturbed
possession of 1t without paying rent
to anybody, and then send gov
erument troops to drive off ex-soldiers Of
the Union army whose only crime is that
they want 100 acres each for cultivation and
for homes for their families. 1t is singular,
to say the least of it, that the government
makes no provision for the perfecting of
titles to actual settlers in the Oklahoma
territory. President CLEVELAND should at
once have an investigation made and the
facts elected to lay before congress at the
next session, with a recommendation to open
the territory for settlement and in the mean
time should use the troops, Il necessary, to
keep out the cattle kings and their vast
herds

CEN. GRANTs Disease.

Our New York dispatches say that the con-
sulting physicians called in by the family
doctors approve the treatment Gen. GRANT
has been receiving for the cancer of the
tongue and mouth, and his condition is re-
ported to be fairly comfortable. The case of
Gen. GRANT has given rise to widespread
discussion among the medical profession and
laty as to the cause Of cancer of the tongue.
The most general belief is that cancer, such
as Gen. GRANT is suffering from, is caused
by the excessive use Of tobacco, infusing
virus beneath the skin of mouth or lip.
There are those, and some of them eminent
physicians, who deny that tobacco ever pro-
duees cancer or can by any possibility do so.
The theory of tobacco containing an irritant
poison is not new one. 1t has been firmly
established by experiments made by surgeons
upon the lower animals during the last half
century. Sir BENJAMIN BRoDIE gave it as
his conviction, after renewed experiments
upon animals, that cancer could be
produced by excessive use of the
weed. The most striking case Of recent date
is that of DIR. THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH, who
has gained a reputation as poet and journal
list as well as physician. DIR. ENGLISH had
been from early manhood a constant
smoker and chewer, always going to bed at
night with quid of tobacco rolled under bis
tongue A short time ago he commenced to
suffer from an irritation of the throat and a
difficulty in breathing. Hearing of Gen.
GRANTS case he began to suspect that he
might also be victim of nicotine poison
and called in a specialist. The laryngoscope
being introduced with great difficulty re-
vealed cancerous tumOr attached to the
right side of the vocal cord. Being possessed
of extraordinary will power DR.. ENGLISH de-
termined to have the tumor cut out, and
yielding to his wishes the surgeons performed
the difficult operation with miraculous sue
cess, and the patient is now getting well.
There is hope that, as Gen. GRANTS coudi-
ton has improved since his mind has been
relieved Of pecuniary anxiety, he may have
the strength to undergo a similar operation
and his life be saved.
