certain amount of dignity and tone that i'm

Lillian understood it and colored deeply.

Mrs. Grey, hastily. And you must blame
me for mOnopolizing so much of LiIian's

So. as Miss Lillian had no desire to offend
her aunt, she overcame her repugnance to
meeting Mr.. West. and. to that gentleman's
great delight. he had the pleasure of taking
her in to dinner that same evening. Two
or three neighbOrS had been invited. But,
although Charlie had an immense fund of
small talk. and was reputed excellent COM
pany, he failed altogether in inspiring any
interest in his fair neighbOr. She appeared,
as she was, thoroughly uncomfortable, and
only responded to his sallies in monasylla-

1t was glorious moonlight night, and
after dinner some OF the young people went

BRADLAUGH, THE ENGLISH
FREE-THINKER.

Many readers will recollect that
Charles Bradlaugh, who had been twice
elected to tho House of Commons in
England, was as often rejected, for the
reason of his being an atheist. This
man Bradlaugh has now succeeded in
winning his way into the New House
of Commons, where he will probably
be allowed to retain his seat. The
English government has been CRITICS,
ed for rejecting an elected member on
account of his atheistical beliefs. That
is not true view of the case. To re-
ject a member elected to our Ameri
can Congress, because of his being an
infidel, would be unwarrantable, for
the reason that the constitution of the
United States has no recognition Of
God. In England it is quite different,
the church and the state are united. The
church is an acknowledged institution
Of the government; therefore if the
church cannot consistently fellowship
atheists, then neither can the state con-
sistently tolerate such persons in the
House of Commons.

MONOPOLIEs.

We have no laws to restrain mono
poles. but perhaps it would be well if
there were. The recent purchases Of
vast tracts of pine lands in northern
Michigan by wealthy New York specu-
lators will shortly place the consumers
of pine lumber in the hands of soulless
spectators. In northern Wisconsin
the same grasping policy of specula.
ton has been in progress. There is
not much hope for legislative interfer-
ence, if it were practicable to restrain
the spirit of monopoly, so long as law.

kind of speculation. The time cannot

of wood can be used, but with much
Inconvenience. But let the substitute
for pine be what it may, the late large
purchases of these lands by eastern
capitalists will in due time enrich the
nonresident buyers at the expense Of
the resident inhabitants of the sever
al states in which they are located
1t will soon be too late to talk of rene
dies for this kind of damaging specu-
lation, provided if any are practicable

A WOMAN FARMER.

A correspondent of the Womon's
Journal tells the following:
Miss Flora Harden, Of Pendleton,
Ind, in connection with her mother,
owns a large farm near the village.
Miss Flora hires men to do the work,
but superintends and manages the farm
very successfully herself. Although
she has demonstrated the fact that she
has the business tact and physical
ability to control the interests of the
farm and realize the money value of
her work, yet the men she hires can
vote the money out of her hands, and
the law classes her with Idiots, pau
pers and insane persons"
Such are the wrongs which indus
trious women, who contribute to the
general stock of the nations wealth,
must endure, until better laws and a
higher sense of justice shall award to
them their just rights. The most con-
summate loafer who is propertyless.
and who never pays a cent of tax for
the support Of the institutions that
protect him, may vote to tax the earn
ings Of an industrious woman for any
object, however unjust. The woman
has no power to protect herself by us
ing the ballot. but must submit quietly
and allow her rights trampled upon.
Such cases are not mythical; they are
found almost everywhere.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

Matters are assuming a threatening
aspect in Ireland. and it now looks as
if home rule for that country has been
set back, and without hope of being
realized. It seems useless for ireland
to demand home rule when such strong
home influences are arrayed against it.
A great meeting was held at Belfast
Ireland, on Monday, at which strong
resolutions were adopted, protesting
against any measure being adopted by
the British Parliament granting home
rule for Ireland. Resolutions were
also adopted declaring unwavering
loyalty to the throne of the Queen, and
If an Irish Parliament were inaugural
ed it would not be respected. How
generally this sentiment may prevail
cannot be stated with certainty, but
that it is the prevailing feeling in the
north of Ireland is doubtless true.
What renders the situation alarming
is, that famine prevails to fearful ex-
tent in some of the provinces. The
people demand bread for starving fami-
lies. and declare if relief is not provid-
ed by the authorities they will by fol &c
seize food wherever they can find it
1t is expected that the decision of Par.
lament in respect to Ireland will be
announced soon.

sional district, doubtless will be pleased
to hear from him since he Telinquish-
ed his situation as Register of the land
office in Dakota, to make room for his
Den ocratic successor. 1t is noticed by
Dakota papers that he recently deliver
Ell lecture, taking for his subject,
+" The American Congress" This is a
theme for which his twelve years ex.
perience in Congress eminently fits
him. The press speak of it with much
praise, and pronounce the lecture of
SURPRISING interest. The treatment
of that subject by Mr.. Williams could
not fail of being highly attractive and
instructive. He has been invited to
repeat the lecture at Huron and Fargo,
and it probably will be in demand in
the principal cities in the Territory.
Our readers need not be told that Mr..
Williams career in Congress was a
successful one. He rose year by year
until he reached the Craftsmanship of
one of the most important committees
in the House. After a Republican in
terregnum of two years, this district is
again represented in Congress by
member of decided talent and influence.
Hon. l.. B. Caswell stands in the front
rank of our congressional representa-
tives. Without instituting any invidi-
Gus comparisons, it may safely be said
that since the organization of Wiscon-
sir as state, this first Congressional
district has been fortunate in having
men of superior ability in the national
House of Representatives.

THE GREAT PYRAMID.

tits somewhat curious fact that the
great pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, the
greatest and most perfect of all in that
land of mystery and antiquity, has never
been completely and carefully examined
as it deserves to ble-that is to say, in
modern times. AS near as can be as
certained, it was built some time prior to
but near the time of the birth of Abra.
ham, or over 1000 years before the
beginning of our Christian era, and is
accordingly near 1000 years old. Some
interesting facts were cleaned few years
since by the Astronomer Royal of Scot
land, who made an examination of such
OF the interior as we know about. The
great structure covers more than thirteen
acres, was originally 485 feet high, and
is estimated to contain five million ton
of hewn stones, brought, as nearly as can
be at present ascertained, nearly or
quite 500 miles from the site of the
pyramid by human contrivances OF
which we know nothing.

MEANING OF CHURCH

Cannon Farrar, during his late visit
to this country, uttered a great many
sayings which attracted much atten-
ton, because of his high position in
the established church of England, and
because Of his liberal catholicity. In
his article in the North American, on
the work Of the church in America, he
defines church to mean:
"AlI the churches in America,
whether Papal, Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterian, Congregational or Epis-
copalian. These churches are far less
separated by differences of organiza-
ton and of opinion than they are
united by common fealty 10 the gospel
of Christ and common allegiance to
the two ancient crecds of universal
Christendom."

JOHN SHERMAN u. 8. SENATOR.
On the assembling Of the Ohio legis-
lature the first business after the or
ganization of the two Houses was to
turn out the nine Observation-Disclosures
members from Hamilton county, in
which the city Of Cincinnati is located,
and put the regularly elected Republi-
cans in their places; the next right
thing was the nomination and election
of John Sherman United States Sena.
tor on joint ballot of the two Houses
John Sherman ranks among the most
reliable of our statesmen, and the at
tempted movement to defeat his cleo
ton, by crowding fraudulently-elected
members in the legislature, proved
abortive. Had the illegal members moi
been ousted, there would still have
been Republicans enough to elect
Sherman.

OLEOMARGARINE AND BUT
TERINE.

The manufacturers of butter known
as oleOmargarine continue to assure the
public that their product is clean and
healthful. The Cleveland Leader has
been investigating these statements,
and finds that dead animals, which died
on the cars from disease or overcrowd-
ing, are sold to the manufacturers of
oleomargarine, and the fat of these
animals eventually finds its way on the
tables of people as pure butter. If
these charges against oleomargarine be
true, the crime of making and selling
it for use, is greater than making coun-
terfeit money. 1t is gross imposition
on dairymen; it cheats and poisons
the people. Since the question of but
ter adulteration is now before the peo-
pie, it is hoped investigations will go
forward until the facts are fully ell
cited. s.a

MUN[FICENT REQUESTS.

tribute his property equally among his
heirs. Mrs. Mary 0. Newell, wife of

$4,000. His requests for religious
and benevolent objects are worthy of
the man. That noble charity, the Old

Missions of the Presbyterian church,

FARMERS INSTITUTES-EDUCA.
TORS.

The friends of farming interests in
this county were no doubt pleased TO
learn of the good degree Of success
which attended the Farmers Institute
held at Union Grove last. week, on
Tuesday and Wednesday. 1t has been
said by some complaining people that
the enthusiasm for farming in this
county has faded out. This is not true.
This opinion was probably based on
the Indifferent success of our agricul-
tural fairs the past few years. When
the interests of agriculture. pure and
simple, are presented to the farmers Of
the county, including dairying. sheep

The Chicago Journal says: "Three.
fourths ofthe butter and cheese sold is
bogus. and the most of the stuff so sold
is a villainous product of adulteration
and impure animal oils" The imposi-
tion of bogus butter is doubtless prac-
tised to much larger extent on the
consumers in the cities than in the
country towns. The perplex!ty arises
from the fact that adulterated butter
cannot readily be distinguished from
dairy butter without scientific tests.
And yet, on the other hand, we are
asked to wait until it is scientifically
demonstrated that oleomargarine but
ter is positively unhealthful.

shall have the value of 100 cents, in
stead Of so cents, as now. This should
never have been a matter of compro
mise; it was wrong in the beginning to
legislate eighty cents worth of silver
to be legal tender for a dollar.
