Mr.. Enoch Noyes thought the iDhu-

Mr.. Duyckinck thought favorably Of

members of the Club had derived from
it by comparison of views and opinion,

Mr.. Sutton appreciated very highly the

William W. Moore, thought that tn
occupation of the farmer was the mos

too frequently rather selfish, and did no

MIR. Jos. Coudon favored co-operatio
and consolidation of the farmers for mu

differences of political opinions existed
He did not regard very favorably the re

work and must not be afraid to work. That they do not is, perhaps, not 90 much their fault as it is to the fault of society and its standards.
 Women like to share the burdens of those they love. They are willing to put up with very much of inconven- fence, withstand any tribulation, pro- viding it will help along the one that is loved and cause him to feel happy. When it comes to question of sacri- flee, or moral or even physical cour- age, the woman in three cases out of five is superior to the man. She will bear more pain uncomplainingly and will complacently battle with annoy ances that would almost drive man crazy. Most women would be true helpmeets if they had chance. But from their childhood's days they are taught to have a wrong view of life and to ignore the substantial in favor of the artificial.
 This is wholly wrong. Men and women were created to be joined in matrimony. It is wrong to keep them apart. It Is not only wrong to the in- dividuals of the two sexes, but it is fraught with danger to society. Where there are the most happy mar riages there the standard of purity will be the highest. Where there arc the least marriages the standard of im- purity will be the highest. Where there are no marriages at all-but who can imagine the state of society that would follow this2 It is the duty oi young men and young women tc marry. Physical and moral reasons both demand this union of the sexes But young woman cannot put re- volver to mans temple and say ''l love you better than life itself. Prom ise to make me your own beloved wife, or 1 will blow out your brains. That would hardly do. Even in lear year practice ot that kind would not be tolerated. The young woman must wait. Perhaps she will pine like Tennyson's Mariana in the moated grange:
 "He cometh not, she said
 am aweary and wish that were dead"
 The young man must take the az. gressive. 1t is his duty. But tho young woman ought to show hin that matrimony has no quicksandi and that it is perfectly safe as a busi. ness transaction. Let there be nc lining ot twigs to catch the unwary little bird, but legitimate, substantia requirements as we'll as accomplish ments. If the girls would cultivate these there would be less fear of dis. comfort and bankruptcy on the part of the young men.

Tonnage and Revenue Report.

Chairman Midgley, of the south : western statistical bureau, has issued a statement showing the total tonnage and revenue of All tho lines embraced in that association for the month Of June. The most surprising feature of the report to those who have taken stock in the statement that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was doing no business to speak of, is the evidence shown by the figures that the revenue of that road from freight shipments was greater than that of any of the other roads during the month. In the volume of business as measured by tons 1t stands third on the list, but if the business of the Han nibal < St. Joseph road was included in the Burlington figures, e 1t might properly be, the showing of the latter would be even more favorable. Al any rate it is evident that tho Bur- lington has been getting its share of what little business thcrc was for any of the roads. Following arc the to- tals on east and west bound business combined:

 There arc many worse things than sinxlc hlesseSlness, and the condition oi the old maid is 10 lesa honorable to her than is that of matrimony to her welded sister. The old maid may, Il che will, and she generally does, bear noble part In the good work ei mak- Ing the world better and happier place.

Forty-two Years.


 A correspondent of an English paper, writing from Moscow, tells the story of two Russian peasants who have waited forty-two years to be married. They met when the man was twenty and the woman seventeen, but, being serfs and miseably poor, set themselves to work and save, to earn money enough to wed.
 Even after serfdom was abolished, so slow was their progress that. after these forty-two years, they only own between them email wooden house and three hundred roubles. With this fortune they think it safe to marry.
 How many Americans would perse- we're for nearly half a century in lay ing penny to penny before venturing on marriage?
 A clergy man who has married hun- dreds of couples among the fashiona- ble circles of our seabord cities, said lately, "The criticism may seem un- charitable, but it is matter of sober fact that in half of the marriages which come under my observations, there was reason to suppose that tine motive of either bride or bridegroom was to better his or her worldly con- dition."
 The reason of this is, not that the young American Is less capable of deep, unselfish feeling than young men of other nations, but that he has learned to attach more importance than they do to the lnxuries and dis play of life. He has not the money to provide as comfortable or splendid a home for his wife as his father has given him, hence he looks out for 6 "girl with money" who will and can provide it for herself.
 The number of divorces and un- happy marriages in our cities has in- creased of late years to such an alarm ing degree, that the different Chris tian churches have endeavored to discover and to remove the cause.
 It is simply a part of the vast pois- onous outgrowth from the love of luxury and show, which has struck its roots 90 deep into our domestic and social life.
 Every man or woman, every boy or girl who tries to bring life back to its simple, healthy conditions will help to tear up loot of this Upas growth.

How p.ls.a.li Looked.
The CnrrNnA


 In the May number of FraseT's MasasiAe. 1888, there appears DOT trait of D'Israeli accompanied with an essay upon him which stArted out as follows: Oh, reader deari do pray look here, and you win spy the curly hair and forehead fair, and ncse SO high and gleAming eye of Benjs- min D'Is- ra-el-i, the wondrous boy who wrote 'Alroy,'" etc, etc. This Is in supposed imitation of the highly sentimental style of "Alroy." Years later, when the once youthful intel lectual prodigy in the realm of polite literature had become member of the hourc of esbii nous, NC sss;;.s<a sae follow ing description of his personal ap- pearance, then greatly altered by time's oorroding fingers: "A man of middle height, of spare but well-pro- portione,l frame, of scrupulous neat ness ot dress, and possessed of \ conn- tenance which no one can forget who has once looked upon it-this Is Mir, D'fsraeli. as we sec him now quietly walking up the floor of the house 10 take his place on the front opposition bench. Arrived at his seat he re- moves his hat--he alone among the gentlemen upon that bench---and sits down, folding his arms and stretching out his legs, in fashion which TO- calls by gone days, when, out of every twenty honorable gentlemen in the house nineteen of them stretched out their legs in exactly tho same way. Over the high arched forehead--surely the forehead of poet-thsre hangs from the crown of the head a single curl of dark hair, black as Jet, curl which you cannot look at without feeling a touch of pathos In your in. most heart, for 1t is the only thing about the worn and silent man re- minding you of the brilliant youth of Vivian Grey The face below this solitary lock is deeply marked with the furrows left by cares plowshare i; the fine dark eyes look downward, the mouth is closed with firmness that speaks more for this mans tenac- ity of will than pages of culogy would do but what strikes you more than anything else is the utter lack of ex- pression on the countenance. No one, looking at the face, though but for a moment could fall into the error ot supposing that expression and intelli- gence are not there, they arc there but in conccalment.
 ''Much Is said of the power of Na- poleon III, of hiding his thoughts from the keenest scrutiny; but more than once even his power over his countenance has been sorcly taxed, and he has been glad of the grateful shelter of the curling moustache that shades his mouth. Without any such help, however, Mir. D'Israeli has face that is simply inscrutable. Again and again have hundreds of keen eyes been turned at critical times toward that face, to read, If It might be possible, something of the mysterious thoughts of the man himself; but never once, not even in the most exciting crisis of personal Or poli:!ca! conflict, has the face unwittihgly relaxed, or friend or fee been able to read aught there. It Is the face ofa sphinx, inscrutable and unfathomabic it Is as men Of every party will admit, the most remarka- ble face in England"

tary Bayard, in which the latter quoted
statistics gathered by Edward Atkinson,
showing that from 1870 to 1877 the popula
ton of this country increased IS per cent,
while dairy products increased rs per
cent; cotton products, 1l2 per cent. !;
the consumption of wool, 100 per cent. !;
pig iron products, 2S5 per cent the con-
struction of railways, 223 per cent Mr..
Bayard had argued that the small proper
ton Of increase of population to the other
increases proved that the country was pro-
ducing more than the people needed or could
consume. Mr. Blaine, in commenting on
this, said it was better for the people to have
more than they can consume than less One
meant affinence, the other psuperisn He
added to Mr.. Bsyard's figures from Akin

said the steamer was owned by American
stockholders and in the trunks, which num-
bered twenty-five, not thirty three, there
was clothing which could be bought as cheap

Tbs FOX SISTERS CONFESS
That They Have Lived Lives of Deception
Heavy Blow to SpirituaIism

That They Have Lived Lives of Deception
Heavy Blow to spirituaiism.
NEW YORK, Oct 24-The severest blow
spirituaism has ever received was delivered
yesterday through the solemn declaration OF
the greatest medium of the world that it is
all a fraud, q deception and lie. This state
ment is made to The New York World by
Mrs. Margaret Fox-Kane. who has been able,
through long training and early muscular
development, to produce peculiar rappings
and knocks which were affirmed to be spirit
ual manifestations, and which were so skill
fully done as to battle all attempts at dis
covery. 1t was this woman, then Miss Mar.
garet Fox, and the most expert of the world,
famed "Fox sisters" who was first brought
before the public notice as a medium Her
tour of the great cities of the United States
is historical She was seen by most of the
prominent theologians, physicians and pro
fessional men, but there was not one who
could solve the mysterious power thai
seemed to possess her nor initiate her alleged
spiritual rappings.
Now the Fox sisters have come forward
and as matter of long neglected duty tc
the public, and for their own peace of mind
say boldly that theirs has been life of de-
ception and fraud. The rappings, which
made them famous, they declare are pro
duced by striking sounding board with the
great toe, and so skillfully is this done that
no one even now they are giving exhibi
tions) can detect the movement The World
reporter was given "seance" and utterly
failed TO see how it was done.
