TO ENGLAND.

You speak of liberty, but rivet chains; You prate of peace. but fashion shot ana You boast free speech throughout your wide Ye. pisi thrust free speakers in the prison cell. Ton talk of grace and Holy Gospel calm, Yet teach the eavage how to drink your rum You bld your neighbor's siaveS to rise ana But keep your own secure beneath your
 thumb.
 Gold Is your idol, and to 1t you bend, Your proudly -boasted crowned and sceptred
 state;
 Greed is your god-you know no other end; And, as you're rich, you dream that you are
 great.
 To hold your gains, ill gotten though they be, You siay, or threaten when you dare not So You hear the sacred truth that man Is free You hear 1t, and your answer is blow. There are true Englishmen who scorn your Humaaity's apostles, tried and true, Foremost in all their fellow man to raise, Wsc ha.s their ehorts-EnRland.

 creed)
 That thou art but form, limsy show, And that the people must and will be freed

The Work of . Minute.
Pittsburg Dispatch


 A ray ot light travels 11,160,0o0 miles in minute. s=za
 In the United States the telephone is used 595 times, the telegraph l36 times in minute.
 h minute the lowest sound your ear can catch has been made by 990 vibrations, while the highest tone reaches you after making 2,22S, ,000 vi- brations.
 In each minute in the United States, night and day, all the year round, twenty-four barrels of beer have to go down 12,096 throats, and 4 ,S30 bushels of grain have come to bin.
 In minute an express train goes a mile, and a Pittsburg street car thirty-two rods; the fastest trotting horse, 147 9-13 rods, and an average pedestrian of the genus homo has got over sixteen rods.
 Of tobacco, 925 pounds is raised, and part of it has been used in mak- ing 6,673 cigars and some more of it has gone up in the smoke of 2,292 cigarettes, in the United States, in one minute.
 In minute we are whirled around on the outside of the earth by its di- urnal motion a distance of thirteen miles, and at the same time go along with the earth on its journey around the sun 1,080 miles.
 Every minute 600 pounds ot wool grow in this country, and we have to dig sixty-one tons of anthracite coal and POO tons of bituminous coal, while of pig iron we turn out twelve tons and of steel rails three tons. In sixty seconds our country makes fifteen kegs of nails, twelve bales of cotton come from the fields, and thirty-six bushels of grain go into 149 gallons of spirits, while $66 in gold is dug out of the earth. In the same time the United States mint turns out gold and silver coin to the value oi $121, and forty-two acres of the pub lie domain have been sold or given away.

Sunday Thoughts.
Sunday National.

Craft Is merely. the supplement of inferior abilities.
 The fundamental qualities of true friendship are constancy and fidelity.
 The present constitution of human nature cannot bear uninterrupted prosperity without being corrupted by It.
 At whatever period of life friend ships are formed, as long as they con tinue sincere and affectionste. they form undoubtedly one of the greatest blessings we can enjoy.
 The maxim that has been laid down by certain crooked politicians, to be- have to friend with the same gaurded caution as we would do to an enemy, because 1t Is possible that he may one day become such, discloscs q mind that was never made for the en- joyment of friendship.

 "What were you trying to say about MT. Evans?"
 "Nothing," i" replied the landlord who had calmed down, except that Dan Evans is our local fruit dealer. He imports his peaches direct from Dela- ware.

The Professional Humorist's Work.

The task of man who is compelled to get up a certain amount of pointed humor daily is more laborious than that of hod- carrier. 1t is something like it, too. He just carries stuff to the level of the average comprehen- sion, and having deposited it before the person to get the benefit of it., goes after more. How does the hum- orist work? Well, it depends largely upon his temperament and greater or less fitness for his speciality. Some men, although they may have fair ability in some lines of writing, are slow to originate humorous idea, notwithstanding that they can appre- ciate it in others. To such, the writ ing of humorous paragraph or arti- cle is something to be dreaded. 1t would be a violation of newspaper ethics for professional writer to de- cline to get up an article on any sub- ject or from any standpoint. Given a theme and told to treat it humorously, the most sedate member of 8 newspa- per staff will attack it without hesita- tion, and in his own time will do the work well, perhaps as well as the man whose speciality is humor.
 But, ah, the labor of the sedate man 1! How each queer simile, every epigram- matic sentence and every odd expres- sion will wiring his soul and make his brain throbi Fun! Tell him that he ought to enjoy his own fun, and he will probably brain you with the office poker. Ask the regular para grapher whether he enjoys his work and he will think you fool. He does it because it is his work, but the terrible wrestle he has with the Eng fish language every day to evolve these atrccious witticisms of his no one knows but himself. To the young man who thinks of going into news paper work as a funny man, there is only one word of advice to be given, and that, by the way, was used by the most dismal humorist of the present century-London Punch: "Don'tp

A New Contribution Box.

Chicago has now contribution box or rather several churches in Chicago have, which seems destined to make a material change in the amount Oi the Sunday collections. Its appear. ancc and methods are thus described "If one could imagine cigar box apotheosised and put to better uecs with it's cover cut of and partly sunk into the box, with an expectant ex- pression at its front end and long wooden handle at it's rear, one could form a very good idea of its appear ance. It seems to be very harmless ordinary sort of substitute for the common plate, but 1t is in its simplic- ity that it's effectiveness lies. For ina stance, Mir. A. in pew No. 1, at the head of the center aisle, is approached by the collector. He puts upon the fiat, sunken top of the box his contri- bution-say a nickel. The coin re- mains in plain view as the collector carries the box horizontally until pew No. is reached. The box is then passed before MT. R., who Is thus ad- vised of what his neighbor in the seat ahead has given. Before B. can put in his offering the box Is turned up al an angle of forty-hvc degrees, and As coin slides through the opening into the interior of the casket and Is no longer on exhibition. This done, the box returns to the horizontal, with the cover blank and empty for Bis coin to rest upon until the ev0ia- tions are performed once more at C's pew" It ia said that 1t Is working like charm In some of the churches ; but prominent member of one con- gregation is thus quoted: "l can't say 1 like the confounded thing; It Is too much on the drop-in-a-nickel- and Ind out how. much respect the- man-in. the- next pew will have for you plan, but 1t works"

Honoring Hersslf. ExUAaARN.

Every girl knows the value put upon money by schoolgirls, even when they become college girls, and the one who would have the courage to be- como, in a sense, the maid and seam. stress of clAssmate for the sake oi earning money to pay her expenses de- serves the honor, respect aud admlrA- ton of every American girl. She will make her mark, and win any position for which she aims.
 Some of the girls who go to Vassar, says one of our exchanges. arc as help less as babes. They are tho daughters of rich men, and would not have lt supposed that they ever brushed their own hair or sewed a button on their boots In their livcs, They arc only too glad to have some one do these things for them, and that Is how the poorer girls make pocket money, Last year pretty, blue-eyei girl came to the college, and stated during the first week that her tuition and board were paid by kind relative, but every penny for dress, ear fare, and the thousand and one little incldentals she must earn herself.
 Soon after her arrival the following announcement appeared on her door ;
 "Glovcs and shoes neatly mended for ten cents each.
 "BreakfAst brought up for ton eents,
 "ilair brushed each night for twenty-five cents a week.
 "nnsess..s made ar .. ten cents 2 weak "
 That little freshman made one hun. drcd and flfty dollars tho first year, and that paid all of her expenses, and a good part of her tuition fees.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and bafiled the medical profession more than nasal catarrh. While not immediately fatal it is among the most distressing, nanseous and disgusting ills the flesh Is heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical cures of chronic catarrh by any of the multitude of modes of treatment until the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm . few years ago. The success of this preparation has been most gratifying and surprising.

You will please insert the following In your
paper, II you thinkiproper:
TO the charge Of grand jury that had not
kept certain books IN my once & tnat tne Jaw NV
Office In which full entries are made, and
had seen no use to put the county to the eX-
pense of getting these separate books. For
Instance, my Court Journal shows oil about
the number of jurors and constables and num-
ber of days service, and my return to County
Commissioners is made Immediately after ev-
cry Court showing by the stubs IN certlhcate
book the amount Of poy each one has receiy-
ed. This is all entered on County Commits
sioners books, and must correspond with cer-
tificates paid by the treasurer.
And as fines are paid, l turn them over 70 I.
the Treasurer, frequently In the Court hall If
he is in there, II not very soon after, and the
name of the party fined, with amount of PEN
atty is also entered in full on the Court Jour.
nal. and besides enter 1t on the Sessions m
and the County Commissioners are informed
Of the transactions not only one time during
the year but three times. Treasurer's receipts
Ole accessible TO all. And make return to
the Auditor when have anything to return.
Then there Is a book for estrays mentioned.
To this answer that have been In office for
OF two dollars and fifty cents has been paid
me in that time. Trial Justice T. A. Cater
paid that, and returned 1t to the Auditor,
and paid it over to the Treasurer. Receipt for
W0lCl WAS uuly ulcQ, 81 Sau DEC WHCthSA
or not there Is peed for that book.
There Is very nearly one hundred and fifty
books in my Office, greater number than l
have convenient places to put them, besides
various records by the thousands, and I had
thought as the records of all my official mat
tiers were SO fully entered upon the regular
Court Journals that 1t was nothing but right
to save the county the expense Of these addi-
tional books, that consider entirely unnec-
essary. I can prove that by conservative
discretion, I have saved the people Of Able,
have been in office, and that my records are
more full and complete than could be by the
system proposed.

Editor Press and Banner:
DEAR SIR-In the report made by the grand
Jury to the June Court we think there Is some
things that In justice to the present boara 9i
While we commend the grand jury for their
investigation OF the public offices and their
incumbents, yet we do not accept the report
of their expert as correct The present Board
Is not responsible for many OF the defects
he unearthed. We are anxious for the entire
grand jury and every taxpayer TO examine our
books and all papers pertaining to the office,
and we feel satisfied that We can convince ev-
cry one that all the charges made against our
Office can be satisfactorily explained. We can
show that all accounts that we have checked
for are regularly cancelled, and that instead Oh
thousands OF dollars unchecked there Will be
few, If any, that are not cancelled. And as to
the charge that we have audited large
amounts not allowed by law we have this TO
say: II there is onedollur OF such " Is unln'
tentionally done. The constables Ger.
and paid by the Treasurer before the County
Commissioners ever see them.
We feel under great obligations to the grand
jury for their recommendations and hope for
their own satisfaction they Will, before their
term expires, come into the office Of the Coun.
ty Comm 1issioners or allow the County Com.
missioners to exhibit their books and vouch
ers to them so they can see for themselves
We feel that we have tried to discharge ouI
duties to the best OF our abilities, and If we
have committed errors 1t has been errors ol
the head and not of the heart, and have tried
to guard the treasury from imposition, and
we would be under obligations If the exper,
will give us the names Of those who have re
ceived pay for services that were never render.
ed. The business Of all claims are sworn to be
fore audited, and II there Is a single account
during the administration OF the present
Board, audited and not sworn 10 1t Is purely
an oversight while the affidavits of some o
the Trial Justices may not be worded precisely
as the law directs the justness OF the claim IS
sworn TO.
All irregularities can be explained to show
that no evil was intended.
G. NJ. MATTISON, Chairman,
In behalf of the present Board.
