With a Personal Letter From the

MISS WIZARDS LETTER.
EVANSTON, Ill. Feb. 10, 1885

KIND FRIEND
1 send you copy Of the letter
officially ordered by the last Nation
al Convention of the W. G. L. u,
and now being sent out. We hope
it will find its way into all papers
that colored people see, and also as
many as possible of those read by
the white leaders in the Temper
ance work.
We think that if struck off and
used in the South it will be of spe-
cial value. l would be glad to
have you print this note OF mine
and letter to the colored people, If
you see your way clear to do so.
The South will never secure pro-
hipition until the negro race falls
into line, and that race is being
deceived, bewildered, and betrayed
by the worst element Of society in
the South. .....
The National w. G. T. U. desir-
es to do all in its power to help
shine in on the darkness, and l am
sure you will be glad 10 render it
your aid in this benefcent en-
deavor.
Yours with best wishes,
FRANCES E, WILLARD.
THE APPEAL TO THE COLOR
ED PEOPLE,
H'Do., OF THE N. w. G. T. U.
Chicago, January 1, 1888.
Brothers and Sisters IN Christ
We send you our New Years
greeting, and ask your earnest at
tention to the following facts:
Fourteen years ago this winter, a
mighty power from God came upon
the women of the churches in Ohio,
and they went out from their pleas
ant homes into the saloons and bar
rooms OF almost every village, town
and city in that state, to read the
Bible, sing hymns and offer prayer
to God that He would help the
people to leave off drinking, and to
put away the drink houses that
tempt men to destruction. This
new and blessed way of working for
Christ spread like wild.fre all over
the land. For the first time in the
worlds history, women began
to see that by Gods grace they
could do something for the protec-
tion of their homes and tempted
loved ones. After about two
months spent in visiting the drink
shops, the ladies found that the
better way to work was by train.
ing the children never to touch Ii.
quor, and persuading all good men
to vote against allowing the drink
shops to be opened at all. So they
formed society called the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance I'm
ion, or the w. G. T. U. Some peo-
pie say these four letters
mean, eve Come To Unite" and
"We Come TO Upset." and "We'll
Conquer This Union" llofthese
meanings are good, and help to ex.
plain what we are trying to do.
This society has grown 50 great
that we have now one hundred and
fifty thousand women who are
members, and over six thousand
local Unions. The National W. e.
7. U. has a publishing house of it's
own, that sent out last year from
CHICAGO fifty million nares of tenn

truth. - il Witnessed in the follow
ing, which says:
"The campaign. which will close
this day week, has not been : cam
paign of personal vituperatisn, like
some campaigns in the past; it has
been = campaign of deception on
ono side, and an effort on tho other
to unmask the deception"
The effort on the "other" side to
unnask the deception was fully &C.
cemplished when the Sackville West
letter was made public.

In response to the charge thai
Powning's friends ought to knife
Bartine, for the alleged reason that
the g. A. r. beat Powning when
he ran for Congress, Mr.. Pownine
replies in the Journal:
Every friend of c. c. Powning
in this State should vote for Bartine,
The Republican nominee, who is
fully as we'll qualified to represent
Nevada in Congress as his opponent,
and whose selection means that
s this State is true to itself, and that
the principle of Protection is far
fabove the personality of any indi-
vldual. Nevada should be repre-
:. scented in the lower House by Re-
publican, and wh.tevay political
mistake Mr.. Bartine may have made
in the past, it should be remembered
for him now that he is the nominee
! of the Republican party, and that
: he was a gallant Union soldier, and
having fought for his country on the
field of battle IN time of war, he
{ should now be given an opportunity
' to fight for it in Congress in time of
! peace.
This il square, manly utterance,
it does credit to the author of it,
Z and effectually disposes Of the
Chronicles covert attack.

THE WEST LETTER.

The Democratic journals do moi
dare to defend the West letter, and
all they can now say il that it was q
mean Republican trick to get at
Cleveland's real sentiments. Ac-
cording to their notion, when Mr..
Cleveland wants to make the
American public think that he is
not in cahoots with England, when
he really Is, and some sharp man
devises . means OF unmaskiny the
hypocrit, it must be set down as
mean trick.
1t really makes no difference how
the mask was torn off the face of
the Administration; it was torn off,
and the features of the English
Free Trader scowl at us from the
White House.
Everyone believed it al along,
and nov that the proof is forth
coming, the contest between the
two political parties is as we'll set
tied - if Harrison were already
elected.

Mere Ridieulous Business.
The Examiner devotes several
columns to showing that the uni.
forms used IN the Sacramento Re
publican parade were made by
Chinese labor. The facts of the
case are that these uniforms were
made partly by Cinnamon to deliver
the order in time. The rest were
made by white girls at the Elkuses
factory.
Both of the Klkuses declare that
the Democrats have no complaint
to make on the score Of the Chi
pese-made uniforms. Four years
ago . Committee representing the
Democratic local organizations came
to- 1;skuses' establishment and
hastily said that they wanted 125
uniforms for the next day. They
were informed that it would be i'm
possible for the force of girls to get
the garments out on such short
notice, and that it would be neces-
ssry to utilize Choose labor.

Live Stock N otes.

Nowhere does the hand of the mas
ter appear more proftably than among
his fattening and other stock. If he
sees to their care and feeding, and
keeps them in health anj growth. they
will come out in better condition
in spring at less cost than if trusted
to the most careful man, who has not
the interest of ownership. Give the
pigs a warm, tight pen; corn, or corn
meal is all expensive material with
which to keep out the cold air. Warmth
is a great saver of food in fattening
animals. See that the watering ar
engagements are conveniently reached,
and do not let the young animals
struggle with the older ones for their
share, but let them out first. Sheep
will thrive all the better if, ia addition
to their corn-stalks and other scoarse-
ness" they are given a daily feed of
mixed corn and oats. Waste is often
seen IN the careless use of hay and 9th
er fodder. To throw down these upon
the ground in the barnyard wastes, by
trampling under foot, enough to pay
the cost Of several feed racks !; hay may
be made by saving it--American Agri-
culturist.

Ooeducation al Adelbert.

Adelbert College, Of Western Re
serve University. at Cleveland. o., is
said to be on the point Of abandoning
coeducation, and either closing its
doors to women altogether, or relegat-
ing them 10 an Annex With Ann
Arbor, Cornell, Boston, and almost all
the State Universities of the West, adj
hitting wnmen.-with the dritt of the
age Enthusiastically in that drection,-
if Adelbert likes to make itself q lite
eddy i'll the outward stream of progress,
and turn round and round, or even
run backward Tor time, the friends OF
Adelbert have more occasion TO be DIS
turbed than the friends of coeducatlon.
The reason given for the proposed
change is instructive. Girls have been
admitted TO Adelbert for four J ears. and
according 10 the Cleveland Ne,os and
Herald. they have more than held their
own with the young men in scholar
ship. The Latin salutatory in 1886
was given by young woman, and so
was the valedictory last June. But the
trustees think that conservative young
men, who do not like to study with
young women Especially, perhaps,
when the young women surpass them),
avoid Adelbert because it is coeduca-
tional, and go to Eastern colleges in
stead. To entice in these conservative
young men, they propose to exclude the
girls. We can see only one advantage
in the proposed arrangement. 1t will
keep some of those conservative young
men away from the Eastern colleges,
which are afflicted with too many such
students of their own. Young men OF
that stripe are mediocre ornament to
any college. Woman's Journal.

Hereditary Effects of Cider.

The Clothes That Kill.

The advice to women to promote
their health b. outdoor exercise is
never wanting. But 40 amount of
fresh-air exercise can save women from
the evil effects of their preseu, style of
dress. II is their clothes that Kill
them.
Every step woman takes, her foot
contends with her skirt. She lifts ii
on the instep, aud she lifts it on the
heel. The weight may be ounces or
pounds, but it is taken up at every
step The heavy skirts, with fiounces,
oversIIirt, hustle, braid, beads, and
other trimmings. hang their many
pounds and many yards. tapping
around the feet and legs Of the wear

to take a full breath, aud the tight
sleeves cause the muscles 10 cry for
room.
Dressed 10 this fashion, the wcarer
comes back from her walk for fresh
air and exercise" tired through and
through, and is the worse for it, be-
cause she has lifted and carried hun
dreds OF pounds.
Stand at any city street-corner, and
watch the women as they pass. How
tired they look How their dresses
flap round them Contrast them with
the men. Mems feet lift no weight OF
clothes. Mems steps contend with
nothing. Every muscle has its natural
exercise. Outdoor air and exercise are
good for them.
