Rev. F. w. Evans, D. D.

Under the auspices Of the M. E.
church society, Rev. F. w. Evans,
d. d., Of Knoxville, has been deliv-
crng a course Of very interesting
lectures at this place, commencing
Monday evening and closing last
night. His subject Monday was
"Facts and Fancies;;" on Tuesday
evening "A Personal Creator, or
Did the World Make Itselt;" and
last evening "Our Country: its
Origin and Mission" In each lee
turc Rev. Evans has discourSed in a
manner to interest and instruct his
hearers and that he has found favor
in the sight Of Audubon people has
been most Faithfully testified in the
increased audiences that have greeted
him on each succeeding evening.
He has the power to discuss these
profound subjects in way that
holds his auditors in rapt attention,
while time passes unnotcd. His
earnestness is impressive and the
vigor Of his intellect is apparent in
his every utterance. He has fairly
won the admiration of all his hear
ers, and the mere announcement of
his return to our city at any time
will insure good attendance.

Two Saloons Raided.

Sheriff Mallory and Marshal
Walkup were given legal warrant
to search the saloons of Lewis Ma
thias and John Mullen, and they
chcerfully proceeded upon that duty
about 7 p. m. Monday. They found
the establishments running on small
margins, about two gallons of whis-
key and eighteen bottles of beer
being all Sin sight" at both places.
They siezed the quantities named
and locked them up in the county

THE superscdeas granted by the
supreme court Of Illinois in the case
of the seven condemned anarchists
in Chicago in no way threatens to
thwart justice in the execution of
the law. The writ merely stays
the execution of the sentence. The
supreme court will review the tcsti-
mony in March next and either
sustain the verdict Of Judge Gary or
allow the cause to be again tried in
the lower court. OF the dastardly
intent of the anarchists there has
never been cause for honest minds
to doubt, and the condemned men
and their fellow workers have almost
daily given additional evidence Of
their desire to give deeper root to
their deplorablc theories. They have
never expressed thought that their
purposes were not just, but have
upbraided the representatives Of the
law, and cursed the people for bring
ing them into the dangerous position
which they have brought upon
themselves by violation and defiance
Of law. Following is an extract
from the ArbcItcy Zcliung, the an
archist organ OF Chicago:
Fright here it may be plainly said
that we consider the mountaineering
justified; it was a necessary act. The
police committed high treason in
attempting to break up i'll violent
fashion a peaceful meeting ofcitizens.
1t is now known that the police
marched to the Haymarlset for the
purpose of extcrminating Socialism;
had not the bomb been thrown, to-
day, in place OF eight police, hun
dreds OF useful citizens, women and
children, would be lying dead.
What will become of the rights of
the citizens of this land when the
latter fall and leave them unprotected,
to be tyrannized and abused by a
horde of hircliugs: What will be-
come Of the right of assembly, Of
free speech, and personal security?
If any one is responsible for the
death of the eight policemen, it is
Bonfeld, Schaak, and the swarm Of
rich opprcssors behind them; the
bomb-thrower bears no responsible
ity, and tar less the condemned
anarchists"
AS that newspaper is the avowed
organ Of anarchy and socialism, it is
fair to suppose that it voices the
sentiments of those bodies. In this
utterance they have forfeited what
ever sympathy humanity may have
been inclined to extend to them, and
proven that they have no conception
of the genius Of American govern
ment and justice. We believe that
a rehearing Of the case will not nit
igate the sentence, but will rather
prove a vindication of the justice
that will be melted out in the deferred
execution of the sentence Of Judge
Gary.

The Eight-Hour Working Day.

The following is from topic in
the December Century: every in
dication points us to the belief that
such a further reduction in the hours
of labor, even below the eight-hour
limit, IS not only possible, but ex-
ceeding probable, if it is allowed to
come naturally, not artificially; that
the progress Of art and science Is
rapidly tending, where tits uncheck-
ed, to make less labor necessary for
mans subsistence. Nothing could
be so certain to check or destroy
this tendency as an organized effort
by labor to gain forced, artificial,
and unfair advantage over its en-
ployers. When hours of labor are
far above the limit possible at the
time, statutory interference can do
comparatively little harm; the nearer
the natural limit, the more does stat.
utory interference tend to drive them
up again. Labor organizations can
do very little by striving for Legal
eight hour day; they can do very
much by striving to sweep away
passion and prejudice, by unfolding
peace, order, and security, the con,
ditions of efficient production, and
by intoxicating an intelligent consider
alton of facts by their members
Only in this way can they gain Oh
approach an eight-hour working
day."

Changein q Popular Business Firm

The personnel Of the firm Of Jones,
Dickey & Co., who have so long
and successfully conducted the i'm
plement house at the west end of
Broadway, will be changed on Jan
uary Ist, 1857, Mr.. 6. II. Jones
retiring, to be succeeded by Mr..
John McFarlane, for several years
engaged in the same business at
Guthrie Center. 1t will be univer-
sally regretted by the citizens of the
county, and especially by the patrons
of the house, that Mr.. Jones has
concluded to sever his connections
herewith, for his business enterprise
and strict integrity have made him
one Of the most desirable members
of the business circle, and his genial
character has always made business
transactions with the house a pleas
ant duty to perform. But his many
friends will be gratificd to know
that while his financial interests will
be severed on January lst he will
remain with the house for a period
of one year from that date, until the
business is entirely settled. Mr..
McFarlane comes from his former
location with excellent repute as
business man and such qualifications
as recommend him to the citizens of
the community.

Swedish Manners.

One great popularity Of travelling in
Sweden is the extreme quiet and lack of
furry. The Swedish are a taciturn and
noiseless sort of people. They do much
by signs, and never shout; a Swedish
crowd makes singularly little sound.
Swedes, even of the lowest class, never
push or iostle 1t is the custom to do
so much bowing and hat-liGting that one
is obliged to move more slowly than in
America to give time for all this cour-
tesy. When train leaves platform or
a steamboat pier all the lookers-on LIT
their hats 10 the departing passengers
and bow to them, compliment returned
by the travellers. If you address the
poorest person in the street you must lift
your hat. a gentleman passing lady on
the stairs of hotel must do the samo.
To enter shop or bank with ones hat
on is terrible breach of good manners.
If YOU enter or leave coilee-room you
must bow TO all the occupants. Passen-
gers on board the little steamers which
ply about Stockholm invariably raise
their hats to the occupants of any other
boat which passes near them. The very
men in charge Of the locks on the canal
bow politely to the sailors as the boats go
through. Imagine American bargees in
dulging in such amenities.

There are various methods of amuse-
ment in different parts of the world
among different people. For instance,
'one of the pastimes among the convicts
an the Georgia prison camps that affords
amusement to the 'trustys" is for one of
them to take three or four mile run
early in the morning to keep the blood
hounds in training. The trusty is al
ways perfectly willing to make the race
If paid for his trouble by the bosses. The
only danger connected with it, says the
Georgia paper from which the item is
taken, is that some thoughtless person
might take a shot at the running negro,
thinking that he was making his escape
from the camp.

Friedrich Siemens, of Dresden, has
succeeded in casting glass in the same
ways as metal is cast and obtaining an
article corresponding to cast metal. This
cast glass is hard, not dearer in produc-
tion than cast iron, and has the advan-
tage of transparency, so that all flaws
can be detected before it is applied to
practical use. 1t will be much less ex-
posed to injury from atmospheric infu-
cnces than iron. The process of pro-
duction is not difficult, the chief feature
being rapid cooling. The hardness and
resisting power of this cast glass are so
great that experiments are now in pro
gress at the Siemens glass foundry at
Dresden with the purpose of ascertaining
whether the material could be employed
for rails on railways.

''bear on your wings a message to the
lonely heart that will grievc for my GO
ing Tell him Athena forgets not his
precepts; that she laments not the end
to which they have brought her, and
that she could go with Joy, could she
feel his dear hand on her head and hear
his voice say as of old, when her school
tasks were done: 1T is welln"
But the moments are short; already
she hears the sound of voices in the tenn
pie courts below. She must silence the
womanly heart that is striving for mas
terry. She turns from the window, and
covering her eyes, strives to recall her
lost courage. 1t returns when once more
on her ear falls the hymn of Sparta's
victory. Yet still through it all one
presence is with her. She secs the old
look of pride tightening up his sad
face when he hears of her sacrifice, and
she knows his great love would not inter-
pose one bar to the sacrifice duty de-
mands. Slowly the old courage swells
back in her heart, and she feels without
tremor a hand on her shoulder and
knows fates messenger has come.
The august head submits to the band
age that shuts from her sweet eyes the
light of day, and she follows with un-
faltering steps the hand that leads her
down through the temples corridors,
the unconscious centre of myriad eyes.
To the portals they come, when the dread
tones of the Pythoness pronounce her
name:
''Lo, maiden, Apollo has given to
Sparta a great victory. Art thou willing
to yield him the promised sacri6cep
The clear voice replies: 81 am will
ing
''Then swear it. Kneel here on the
threshold, with the sun gods eye shining
on you, and swear that of your own free
will you give your life for your country"
She kncels amid the hushed throng,
and raising a steady right hand swears
that in the name of Sparta she offers her
life.
"'Tis enoughl Hear, Spartans, the
will of Apollo. 1t was the poor human
thought that suggested the life of an in
nocent maid for the sacrifice acceptable
as the price of success. But behold how
this is ovcrruled by the wisdom of gods.
BY the death of that pride which was
raising barrier between Athens
and Sparta and poisoning the
memories of friendship you have
won back their favor. Yet know that
forever is this maiden loved of the gods
Her brave spirit already has passed
through the blood of its self-immolation
Her fair form shall be spared many years
to show forth by the side of this high
souled Athenian the twin virtues of cour-
age and patriotism, which have made
Greece immortal.
Approach, thou of Athens, whose act
has made Sparta victorious, and lead
back to life the child who would have
| died for her ransom"
Bewildered by these words, Athena
feels hand gently raise her and draw
the veil from her face. When he sees
her the voice so familiar to her ear rends
the air with a Joyous cry, and darkness
glancing from her sight like cloud, she
sees, not the minister of death, but
around her a host of weeping warriors,
and at her feet the poet
Then, pleased with the scene, Apollo
kissed with his bright beams the lips of
the lovers, and sank to his rest, leaving
over them all fair afterglow like the
smile of approving love.

A Now York corresnondent "details in

A New York correspondent details in,
terestingly an operation performed upon
one Jerry Larkin who had been the vic
tim of gas explosion. His body was SO
badly burned that his life was despaired
of, but with infinite care every burn was
healed and thin film of skin was in
duced to coat it, except the upper part
of the right arm, which was liberated.
All other treatment failing, the physi-
clans resorted to the experiment of sup
plying the flesh which had sloughed of
with flesh from a Newfoundland dog
The experiment has proved successful,
and the arm is gradually regaining the
strength which it seemed at one time
had forever left it with the sloughing
away of the biceps muscles. Before the
operation was performed Jerry could only
raise his hand to his face with the great
est difficulty, but can now raise weights
and continues to improve.

Why the Condnctor,s Jaw FelI.

One of those smart Alexauders who
travel on his cheek and the inability of
the public to change $50 bills for glass
of soda, got on Pennsylvania avenue
car the other day and rendered the afore-
said $50 for his fare. OF course the con-
ductor could not change it and so he got
his ride free. This was repeated until
the conductor got tired of it, and after
the fourth or fifth time of its repetition
he determined to get even with the fell
low. By visiting the dollhouse, and by
other means unknown, the manipulation
of the bell punch managed to scrape up
$40. 80 in pennies.
Placing these in a little bucket he
quietly awaited the appearance of his
victim, having posted the driver and
some other intimate friends who hap
pened to be on board. When the unsus-
pecting man with the plethoric pocket
book put in an appearance and promptly
produced the twenty with many apol-
ogies, the conductor pocketed the bill
and produced his little bucket, and amid
the grins Of the spectators presented it
20 his customer. The young man looked
pretty cheap, and after feeling the heft
of the bucket thoughtfully got off the
car and disappeared around a corner.
Then the conductor took the bill from
his pocket and proceeded to fold it up
nicely 50 that it would fit into a conven-
lent corner of his pOcketbook. Some
thing in the appearance of the bill caught
his eye, and, as he examined it a little
closer, his jaw dropped about a foot.
The bill was counterfeit. The young
man had also been laying for the con
ductor Pitlsbura Commercial

Somebody has been carefully figuring
on Grants memoirs, and arrives at the
conclusion that, while the lowest sub
scription plice is $3.50, the manufac-
turing cost is seventy-five cents a vol
ume, and the distributing cost Just
double-$1.5 The figures make the
entire cost $3.50, or 1925 per volume
OF the profit, SO, Mrs. Grant receives
seventy per cent. and Edward L. Web
ster & Co. thirty per cent. The "a
count at present stands So, $50, 900 re-
ceived for 600, 900 volumes, from which
81, $50, 600 must be deducted for manu-
featuring, distribution and sale, leaving
5000, OO9, of which Mrs. Grant gets
$3.50, coo, and Webster & Co. $3.50, 900.
The foreign and future sales are esti-
mated at 100, 900 more, from which
Mrs. Grant will receive $40, 900, end
the publisher $50, OOO 1t is altogether
probable that the total sale will be fully
200, 900, and the widows share about
$40, 600. 1t is doubtful if anybody has
ever began to realize such profits from
the sale of a work. They are stupen-
dous.

VEGETABLE ROMANCE.

A potato went out on smash
And sought an onion bed;
That's pie for mel" observed the squash,
And all the beets turned red;
"Go way" the onion weeping cried,
"Your love cannot be,
The pumpkin be your lawful bride,
You cantelope with me-"
But onward still the tuber came
And lay down at her feet;
You caulinower by any name
And it will smell as wheat;
And /, too, am an early rose,
And you I've come to see,
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But Spinach at with me.
/ do not care at all to wed,
So go, sir, if you pleasel
The modest onion meekly said,
And lettuce pray have peas;
So think that you have never sef
Myself or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden have been
For favOrs in your rye.
All! spare a cress, the tuber prayed;
My cherry-shed bride you'll be,
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me
And as the willy tuber spoke,
He caught her by surprise,
And, giving her an artichoke, l
Devoured her with his eyes. a

The grnndsire tottered and trembled,
But the grandson sported and ran.
And | thought how the man was just leaving
The life so new to the boy;

And cried in accents wild;

And keep the dear child a child"

Set up a wild squealing,

While her face wore expression Of woe,
Till when rescued she stated,
In voice with fear freighted,
