Old Settlers Meeting.

Attention is once more invited to
the old settlers meeting, to occur on
| Thursday next at Paddock Lake.
There are matters of Importance to
be considered aside from the gener-
al observance of the day. The sug-
gestion of a history of the early set
Element of the county, comprehend
ing each town separately, has often
been made, but thus far no definite
action has been taken. It is unnec-
essary to remind all who feel an in
terest in such an object, that every
year, and in fact every month, it is
delayed, increases the difficulty of
doing the work. If it be omitted
this year, it is less probable it will be
undertaken next. The early history
of the city, first rs Pike, then South
port, has been tolerably we'll secured.
Three histories prepared by different
persons and in different years, are
preserved in the volumes Of
the State Historical Society at Madi-
son. A fourth quite full history of
this town and vicinity was nearly
completed by Rev. H. NJ. Simmons,
intended to be published in pam
phlet or book form, but for reasons
was never finished. It was so far as
written published in numbers in a
and probably no copies
Of the paper have been preserved.
Histories giving many facts in the
early settlement of the towns of
Somers and Bristol have been print
ed in newspapers, but documents in
that form are not convenient for
and are lost. The read
er need not be told of the value at
tached to the early histories of
towns in the older states east, which
were prepared while the country was
yet comparatively new; such histor-
les are highly priced, and SO they
would be here generations hence.

Two Pictures.

Senator Daniel w. Voorhees,, OF
Indiana, a Democratic leader fol-
thirty years, uses the following das-
tardly language:
IF HAD MY WAY WITH MEN
LIKE THE CARNEGIES
WOULD HANG THEM.
Such a brutal remark might be ex-
pected from a man who in the war
cheered over rebel victories and
grieved over Union victories, and it
is not particularly strange that the
Democratic party should keep such
man in high and honorable posi-
ton. Here is another remark, made
by the negress widow of Parsons, the
hanged anarchist. Mrs. Parsons has
long been an avowed anarchist, and
might be expected to indulge in such
treason-breeding language. Here
are Lucy Parsons words, and they
are no worse than the great Demo
cratic Senator's:
THEY, THE PEOPLE, MUST
RISE AND BEAR OUT THE
HEADS OF THOSE DEVILS
THOSE CAPITALISTS = ON
PIKESTAFFS. THE REVOLU-
TION COMES, THE RED FLAG
WAVES.
The widow Parsons should be sent
to an insane asylum, and Dan Voor-
hees deserves to be relegated to pri-
vate life.-Suudny Telegraph.

Brotherhood Of Man has Limi-
tat1OnS.

1t is proclaimed in pulpit and
press that the great brotherhood of
man is not limited by State and Ma
tional lines, but in whatever land
there is found true and honest man,
he is our brother. This is COM
mendable trait of humanity, but there
come times when regard for others
welfare is not so brotherly. The
crop reports from various parts of
this country are generally favorable
for bountiful harvest; this is graft
flying for the farming interest. 1t is
noticed that some of our newspaper
exchanges are anxious to make farm
ers still more happy in the prospect
of good prices for farm produce. 1t
is announced with seeming exulta.
ton that the grain crops in Europe,
also the great wheat producing re-
gions of India, will fall far short of
their usual harvests this year, and
therefore a good market will be open
for the surplus food production in
this country. 1t is conceded that
privation and suffering may follow
as a consequence III some foreign
lands. To what extent the news of
short crops on the other side of the
Atlantic is pleasing to grain produe-
ers in the United States, in view of
its improving the market, cannot be
told. But there is an almost ire
sistible tendency to rejoice over
great calamities when personal gain

The Catholic Temperance Union,

last week, Rev. James NJ. Cleary,
pastor of St. James Catholic church

position he has before held. 1t is
doing Rev. Cleary no more than JUS

in accomplishing great amount Of
work in this State, as we'll as else

are recognized by the friends Of So

Educational Interest Cared For

TIE new states of the Northwest
preparing for admission into the
Union, will have liberal provisions
in their constitutions, for the sup
port free industrial schools. North
Dakota will be the first State in the
Union to provide for a system of
manual training, and industrial edu-
cation. Of the school lands 40, 900
acres, will be set aside for such a
school and the embodiment Of such
a grant in the constitution is re-
ceiving great satisfaction by the
people. 1t is said that the other new
states preparing for admission, are
favorably disposed to similar en-
Couragement for this branch of edu-
cation. When States take this in
terest in hand, the friends of man
ual labor WILL realize they have
power behind them, and success,
will not depend on an unstable pub
lie sentiment.

National Educational Con-
VentiOn


A National Educational Conven-
ton was held at Nashville, Tennes-
see, beginning July 16 and continu
ing five days. 1t is reported to have
been the most interesting meeting of
the kind since the war. Representa-
tives were present from every State,
the largest number were from the
South. Many of the prominent edu-
Gators from all parts of the country
were in attendance. One of the i'm
portant subjects that occupied the
time of the convention was manual
training schools. Our established
systems of common and public
school instruction are among our
grandest institutions for elevating
the standard of intelligence; but
whoever supposes that our schools,
which are justly the pride of the
people, are accomplishing much
more than half they might, with the
same amount of time and labor ex-
pended, has not made this matter a
subject of investigation.
Manual training for schools has
until recently been of slow progress,
but new impulse appears to have
been given it. It had been assumed
that the introduction of trades into
the schools would retard the prog
ress of book studies, but that has
been proven an entire misapprehen-
sion, Where the time of pupils in a
school has been divided between
book studies and manual training.
they have made as good progress in
studies as the pupils who devoted
their time wholly to book studies.
Such is the testimony of teachers
where the trial has been made. It
has also appeared that pupils who
have been accustomed to play hours
at school, do not miss these, if they
are furnished with tools which pro-
vide them with amusement more at
tractive than ordinary games. The
average boy is now but little over
half developed in respect to his in
herent faculties for usefulness. He
can read, write and solve problems
in mathematics, tell something of the
earth on which he dwells, and name
the zone in which he lives. He can
speak of divers things he has learned
in the school, but one of the primary
needs of education, such as is essen
tial to success in life with large
proportion of the people of this
country, he knows but little or moth
ing about-the education of his
hands. In this department of use
fulness there is OF necessity ap-
preaching a new era in this country.

Ao Nose Interesting Aborieinm rswes7sns
'ne Coast Country.
MOI little interest and romance as.
taches itself to the Haida Indians ~
zen Charlotte Islands, from a tra5i-
'ion Which exists, that their ancestors
came originally, in canoes from a
country far to the southwark. r. :.
salo that they were many moons on
the voyage. that they landed at MANY
points on the way-like Eneas and his
lro]ans OF classic story-and that thew
were always repeled by savage natives,
or eVl omens, till finally, they reached
these outlying islands where thew
established themselves, built villages
ana fashioned new canoes from the
huge yellow cedar-trees which here
reach their greatest size.
IL Is supposed by some travellers that
'nese exlles, seeking a home and a
country, were a remnant of the mighty
Ate people of Mexico, conquered by
Cortez and his Spanish cavaliers, and
thai after the tragic fall of Tenochtit-
lar, the Aztec capital of Mexico, a band
OF fugitives made its way down to the
west coast and came northward.
Certain it is that the Haidas excel the
other Indian tribes of the Northwest
coast, in warlike spirit, physique and
ingenuity. They are now often seen
at sitka, Victoria and Puget Sound
ports, but still claim the Queen Char
lotte Islands as their home.
What gives the legend of their origin
some degree of probability is the art
they possess in carving and engraving
In stone, wood, silver, copper and gold.
AS nearly as can be ascertained, the
practice OF carving the huge totem
posts, which form so odd and striking
a feature of the Indian villages along
this coast, originated with the Haidas.
There is something in the ~grotesque
sculpture, and imagery on these totems
suggestive of Aztec art, as seer in the
museum at the City of Mexico. Not
even civilized art exceeds the skill dis
played by the Hiadas in carving plates.
platters, ~tureens, miniature totems and
animal groups of statuary from solid,
fine-grained black slate; for it is done
with such skill, finish and good taste
in design that single platter or group
often commands forty or fifty dollars.
More remarkable yet is the skill ex-
hibsted by these people in the model
ing and construction of Ire canoes
from the trunks of the gigantic yellow
cedars, which. on the Queen Char
lotte Islands, attain a diameter of seven
and even ten or twelve feet-for
Queen Charlotte's is the Lebanon OF
the Northwest coast. From a single
cedar log the Haidas fashion a canoe,
sometimes seventy-ive feet long, with
a breadth of I've or eight feet, a
craft capable of carrying fifty persons,
a good sailor, seaworthy and safe for
a voyage of hundreds of miles on the
open sea- The prows of these huge
canoes are often curved upward in q
formidable war beak, and decorated
like the galieys of classic times.
1t will, indeed, be an interesting dis
covery in ethnology If the arts OF these
west coast Haidas can be traced to
their source in that peculiar Aztec civ
ilization of early Mexico, which Cor
tez and the conqutstadores crushed Sc
ruthlessly three hundred and seventy
years ago.-Youth's Companion.

STAY ON THE FARM.
Views of 8 Man Who Has Tried Agcicul

Views of q Man Who Has Tried Aericult.
ural as Well as Business Life.
The farmers life is one mixed with
toll and pleasure. There is always
work to be done on the farm-a gate
to mend. q fence to reset, an OK in the
ditch, a broken door to repair, a gar
den to pillow, a tank to build, a crop to
plant, q crop to cultivate, a crop to
gather, and a thousand things to keep
the active brain and willing hands and
feet Employed; yet if the farmer wishes
a little recreation, he a leave his
tools and labor and spend a day or two
in the woods with his gun, or a day
with fishing-rod on the lakes and
streams. 1t is not so with the business
man in the city. His business must go
on. He can not shut his door and walk
out. If he takes a day off, he neces-
sarily has to put some n in his place.
Farm-life is a real enjoyable life, il
well planned; but it may be full of
misery if not managed with a view of
making and mixing pleasure with
business. Farmers do more hard
work than business men, and usual
ly live longer and harder. Farm
life is made more tolerable by the
JOY and happiness we get out of it.
The business mar has his bills to meet
every month, and is often puzzled to
know how to make ends meet. He
losaGtS7ours of precious, sweet sleep
over embarrassments that stalk in his
pathway, while the contented farmer,
without the fear of being closed up by
the sheriff, takes his rest. Farmers
have bills to meet, it is true; but they
do not come like rifle balls from a gun,
every week or two. The writer has
tried farm life and loves it. He has
also tried business in the commercial
world, where no allowances are made
for dry weather, wet weather, short
crops or low prices. The commercial
world has no sympathy with a bust.
ness man. The day his bills fall due
he is expected to meet them; if he Is
unable his paper is liable to go to pro-
test, and his business to pieces. Those
who are doing well in agricultural
pursuits should let well enough alone.
The cities are o~vercrowded with pop
ulation and poverty. The most indie
pendent class of people in the world is
| that class that have a good home on a
| good farm and make their own living.
