TOMMY TOPKNOT.

Tom TopSnot was a soldier bold,
Who marched ON dress parade;
His hands were tough as hickory-knon.
Ills arms the finest made.
One day while charging up hill
shell took off his leg;
Now, if before he had been proud,
This brought him down peg.
1t was his left leg that was gone,
His right one then was left.
He said: I'm left a leg see,
Thus am not quite bereft."
So then he made himself crutch,
And could not help but laugh,
To think he once a private was,
But now was on the staff.
Now that the cruel war is DER,
He, like many another man,
Steps down and out upon his crutch,
An offensive partisan"

there was no doubt but that it would

"Of mystery" she repeated, and the
words seemed forced from her in spite
of herself.

doubt was left on my NINA, what hap
pened one morning at breakfast would
have satisfied me. Lance had taken up
the paper. was reading some letters,
and Mrs. Fleming making tea.
Lance looked suddenly from his pa

Have you changed your OpiniOny" l
asked.
II have. think now the crying sin
of the country is child-murder.'
As he uttered the words. his wife was
just in the act of pouring some cream
into my cup; 1t did not surprise me
that the pretty silver Jug and the cream
all fell together. Lance laughed aloud.

There was a low. startled cry and the

OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mrs. Mary Il. welch, Teacher of Domestic
Economy at State University of Iowa

my deliberate Judgment is that tho oven
of tho Range, as compared with others
is not only more equally heated in every
part-front as well as rear-bnt as result
of its superior ventilation the food placed
therein Is better cooked, while retaining
sweeter flavor, and a larger proportion OF
its best juices. 1 have found, also, that the
consumption of fuel In this Range for given
amount of work, Is much less than any other"

The Shirley Shakers.

From the Christian Leader.
A visit few days ago to the Shaker
settlement in Shirley, Mass, has
singularly impressed us. The perusal
Of several pamphlets and a book pre-
scented rs there, which we propose to
look through in yacati94q hours, may
deepen, possibly change, the impress
sions then received. TO human view
the society is Fastening to it's extinc-
ton. Only six men, and these quite
seasibly touched by age, are now in
the Organization, where we spent
several hours, being Through the kind
ness OF the venerable Rev. Seth Chand-
Ter, of Shirley, who is regarded by the
Shakers as sincerity friendly to them,
privileged to make quite an inspection
Of the shops, dwellings and general
premises. Many orphan children are
takap by the society, instructed nthe
rudimeiits Of q common education IN
their excellent schools, and trained to
habits of industry; but few, II any, OF
the boys choose to remain and join
the society after they become Of age,
and only one in ten OF the girls adopt
the celibatc life. There is evident
sin eerjty among those who havetaken
the required VOWS, and strong convic-
ton than they aRe ip the way OF
Christian perfection in Its highest POS
sibie attainment by finite beings; but
there are also confessed by them np-
preheiisfons as to the future OF their

specially noticed by us4tks extrssme
nsatness of their persons and sur
rounding, and the quiet but unmistak.
able cheerfulnsss Of the men and
women. They believe, they told us, in
the possibility Of the final restoration
OF all souls, but they reject no one
from membership who may believe dit
ferently. The practice of celibacy is
their prime requirement, and conneat-
ed with this all honest differences in
other matters are allowed and re-
spected,

Columbia. s. c.. Special six hun
dred refugees have arrived here from Sum-
merville, near Charleston. Az soon as the
train reached Columbia, committee Of
citizens, headed by ox.Gov. Thompson,
who IL ON . visit here, went down
lind Rendered them the Inequalities OF
tho city. They are intensely affriehted-
looking people. They express the utmost
terror when talking about the devas tations
OF their town. It seems, from the state
lnents OF Coils. Gray, Irwin, Walker, and
others, that Summerville was really the
center OF the disturbance. The town SUI
Tered even more severely than Charleston.

Near the village and right in the streets
immense assures are to be seen. One Of
them, Col. Walker avows, is sixty yards
long. From the cracks are minated a
hot fluid OF sulyhurous smell. These
singular phenomena have filled with
the greatest terrors the citizens, who
are flocking to the up-country for safety.
Many OF them have lost their possessions
by the earthquake, and can never again be
induced to return to Summerville. The
shock IL said to have been much more vio-
lent than In Charleston, but the general
characteristics were OF course the same. In
Summeryille, however. the people rushed
aifrighted into an inky blackness and in
the general gloom and despair, the waiting Of
women, the shrieks Of tho children and
frightened voices OF the men made up a
scene and sounds that were equally dis
tressing and appalling. As In Char lesion,
all through the night there was nothing but
sickness, sorrow and suffering, and the con-
slant dread OF utter humiliation. When

tion were found to DO complete There

Farmers Alliance and Knights OF Labor.
Apoliticalgathering occurred in st. Paul
Wednesday, the 1st inst. It was compos-
ed OF leading representatives OF the Farm
ers' alliance; OF tho State grange, OF the
knights oiI.abor and the trades and labor
assemblies Of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
No third party was organized, though
there was a strong feeling toward such
action, but 1T was deferred until the later
meeting to be held on the 23d Sept.
There was a great deal OF discussion, after
which an address to the people was pre-.
sented and signed by Ignatius Donnelly
ana dozen other gentlemen, representing
the Farmers Alliance, Knights Of Labor,
ETC. 1t contained two long series OF resolu-
cions, embodying the demands of the farmers
ana the knights OF Labor, and making pro-
vision for presenting those resolutions to
the conventions OF both thcgreat political
parties, and "ask the adoption OF the
same as part OF the platform OF each OF the
said parties, and that furthermore, as
platforms amount to little II the officers
nominated are secretly or openly hostile

olutions, to earnestly request both Of
said political parties to nominate men

Paul on the 23d day OF September,
1886. to convene at 10 o'clock a.

mary representation shall DO OF tho men,

A New Year Commencing

September is with US now and the school
year of 1S86-87 Is about to begin. Parents
should lose no time therefore in placing
their children in establishments OF we'll
known reputation where they may be
trained to become good and useful men
and women. For girls we can earnestly
recommend st. Joseph's academy, st. Paul,
as the model institution OF the kind in the
northwest. o fact clearly proven by the
long list Of applications the sisters
OF this section. Rarely has o new
year held out brighter promises for the fu-
ture. The many improvements OF all kinds
that have been introduced in the academy
during the past year, not only adding to
the convenience and comfort OF the pupils,
but also aiding them materially in their
studies, give promise OF the most satisfac-
tory results tor the coming scholastic sea-
son, and truly fortunate are the young Ia.
dies whose parents have had the care and
foresight to confide their education to the
well-trained teachers OF St. Joseph's acad-
envy.

The Decline of Duelling in the
South.

The Savannah Morning News bea.
encouraging testimony to the change
that has taken place in public senti-
ment of late years on the subject of
duelling. ''Public opinion" says the
News, overwhelmingly condemns duel
ling, and the number OF those who ad-
yocate or defend this relic of barbarism
is constantly decreasing. The time
when men tried their causes by the or
deal of battle, or by walking over red
hot ploughshares, has long since
passed away, and duelling will soon
be among the customs of the past in
all intelligent countries. The idea of
turning question of veracity, or any
kind of dispute or snarl, into a ques-
ton of courage cannot long survive in
this age ofprogress and common sense.
About the only question a duel can
settle is the fact that the participants
in it have less regard for the enlight-
ened Christian sentiment Of the day
than for the promptlngs OF . mlsgnid-
ed and foolish pride.
1t Is now felony In georgia, as IL Is
in nearly every other State in the
Union, to send or receive challenge
Or to aid in any manner in a duel, and
the man who kills another in a duel is
a murderer in the eyes Of the law as
he is in fact.
There is no reason why the duelling
class alone in this country should ever
have been allowed to make laws for
themselves in regard to homicide
among themselves, and the changed
condition of affairs as respects duel
ling amounts to nothing more, at last,
than stripping OF one class of manslay-
ers of q remarkable privilege too long
accorded them, and placing them on
the same footing with other men who
thirst for the blood OF their neighbours.
