Reference to another item and to the
large bills show that for the coming Six
teenth OF August, the local branch of
this well known temperance society, has
arranged very fine programme. Especi-
ally IS this true OF the plan for the spar
ring contest for 500, between William
Casey Of North Adams. the champion of
Western Massachusetts and Charles
Kroning Of this town, champion OF YER
mont. Also, the wrestling match for
800 and the feather weight champion
ship Of America, both of which will
draU. The latter contest is between
Tommy" feeling Of Milford, Mass, and
mike" Caslin Of our village. Both wrest
lers have fine Record, which we give

has had an experience of five years. He
has won in contests with Grant Lane Of
Barre, and Martin Dempsey OF New
York, wrestled draw with Tom.
Sweeney Of Malboro Mass, and another
draw with Ralph Lord OF Boston. He
says he is ready to meet any man in
America under 100 pouns for $500. The
first and onl y defeat he has met was a
contest at Nashua. N. H, with John
Ralph OF Franklin Falls in that state, and
he weighed 145 pounds. feeling only
had one fall, however, and broke his
ankle after wrestling three hours. This
we should call a good record. Our
townsman (Caslin) has also fine show
ing. He has won in contests with the
following, some OF whom ire noted

Pittsford. Ben. Morris and Jim Sheridan
Of Rutland, William Dooley, New Hamp-

Casiin has never been thrown. With
these two records before the mind, and
the fact that each champion puts up $50,
aside from the Father Matthew society
prize. there cannot fail to be great inter.
est felt in the contest. For full particu-
lars of the whole event the reader is re-

One of the subjects agitating the Eng

issue of the disestablishment Of the
WEIGH Church confessed by members of
the Liberal party to be the torerunner of
a similar attempt upon the English
Church. Apropos to this discussion
nothing could better show the dense ig-
norance in this country, and not alto

either, than the answers usually given
by the press in regard to the Established
Church when the false cry of a Estate

felt obliged to correct the untruths so
maliciously circulated. We quote three

VICIOUS LITERATURE.

The following sensible article on
the subject Of current literature is
from Thursdays Reno Gazette:
Parents generally should under
stand that the present output OF
novels embraces many books of ten
denotes 30 immoral that it is quite
worth their while to supervise cur
rent literature that may fall into the
hands Of their children. Many young
people go to the bookstores and buy
novels innocently, because of titles,
which contain suggestions of the
most unwholesome character, while
in others may be found the bold ad-
vocaoy Of the most vicious doctrines
and theories. The time is ripe for
such public protests as will make the
publishers of these books feel some
sense of shame. A deplorable fea-
ture Of the business is that some
publishers who enjoy high reputa-
tion for the excellence of their litera-
ture in the past boldly aftix their i'm
prints to the most degrading stuff
We repeat that it will not do for
parents to permit their children to
pick and choose Of current fiction for
themselves. A girl or boy, on pur-
chasing a novel, should be required
to submit it to the inspection OF
father or mother, and the seller
should be made to feel the weight o:
parental displeasure if the book be
unfit for the young to read. Thsre il

and there should be q law against
selling novels Of the kind to which
we refer to children. And such lawt
will surely be enacted if these authors
and publishers are not curbed very

Of marriage and jest of the most
sacred relations between the sexes
They instill a doctrine as absolutel,

EMANCIPATION A SUCCESS

The Experiment In Brasil Yields Salts
factory Results.
The year just closed has proved to
every candid observer that the dam
gers and evils predicted of emancipa-
ion we're in a great measure unbound
ID. There has been no breach of the
peace by the freedmen. no effort to
overturu existing institutions, no
threats against tho security of life and
property. On the contrary. the prin-
cipal disturbances of the year have
originated with the military, who are
expected to preserve order, and the
only threats against the peace and es-
taolished institutions have originated
with the Republicans, who were very
generally opposed to emancipation
and are In many places the allies of
the anti-abolitionists. So far as they
have been concerned the abolitionists
and freedmen have worked together
as harmoniously and zealously as cir
cumstances have permitted to main
tain order aud to carry on the indus
tries Of the country without any inter-
ruption.
To great extent-much greater
than was anticipated by many Of their
friends - they have succeeded; and
they would have secured still great
err success had it not been for the act
i've hostility of q faction which pre-
ferred to see the country ruined than
that emancipation should prove a sue
cess. At the outset the freedmen
very generally accepted their newly
acquired freedom quietly, and were
willing to remain on the plantations
to assist in gathering the large coffee
crop. In a great majority OF cases
they remained with their old masters.
Later on, however, through bad treat
ment, the non-payment Of their wages.
the tempting offers of other planters
who were not too scrupulous in tam
pering with a neighbours laborers, and
through not unnatural craving for
change, a very general movement set
in among the freedmen which has re-
suited in a considerable disorganiza-
ton of labor. Instead of trying to
reconcile their differences and to re-
move all causes OF complaint on the
part OF the freedmen, the planters
have done their best to ignore them
as a necessary element OF labor and to
fill their places with colonists. This
has unavoidably caused bad results
and promises to lead to much mischief
in the future. All things considered,
however, the law Of May IS, 1888, has
been productive Of great good to the
country. The justice of the act must
stand unquestioned. Rio de Janeiro

ELECTRICAL TERMS.

Volts and OIms, and How tho Words
Have Been Formed.
A volt Is O unit or standard of cleo
tro-motive force. European electricians
call it an element. 1t is the parts
of which an electric battery is 50 con-
structed, and consists OF plates Of
zinc, copper or prepared carbon,
which are immersed in a liquid con-
tanning one of limited number of
acids employed for the purpose of gen.
Grating electricity by contact with tho
metal or carbon. A battery consists
of number OF volts, the number
varying with the strength Of the cleo
trio current to be generated. The term
'volt" is formed from the Same as
Volta the Italian scientist, whose
name Is prominently connected with
the development OF electrical science.
In the same way the "Ohm" Is
named after Prof. Ohm, who invented
it as a standard or unit for measuring
the resistance to an electric current in
Its transmits sion through a body,
usually a WIRE thereby measuring the
conducting power OF the wire. If
water flows through pipe the slze Of
the pipe represents the resistance to
the flow OF the water, the narrower
the pipe the greater the resistance. In
a similar way the electric current
encounters resistance in its passage
through the wire, the resistance aris-
ing, probably, from the inherent
magnetic and electric properties of
the molecules it traverses. In travel
ing the current loses its force, spend
ing it in overcoming this resistance. as
an engine running along a track
spends it's force in overcoming the
resistance OF friction. Tho "Ohm''
is the unit of resistance. It's quanti-
ty has been determined by expert
ment, and, as In other departments
OF physical science, an arbitrary
standard has been established by
which to measure it-Chicago Trib-
