John Browns Widow.
[Ohio State Journal.


The widow of John G. Fremont
will now take her place with the
widow of John Brown among the
very few relics left of that age of
heroism when men first struck
against the barbarism of slavery.
Congress will doubtless grant PEN
sion to Mrs. Fremont, rs it should.
Why not also make some provision
for the comfort of the venerable Mrs.
Brown?
By the way, the noble movement
that was some time since begun
among the colored citizens to make
n testimonial of thei affection and
respect for the widow of him who
suffered martyrdom for their race,
seems at least temporarily to have
failed. 1t ought not to fail. The
merest pittance from each one of
half the colored people of the United
States would constitute a sum that
would surround Mrs. Brown with
peace and comfort for the remainder
of her days, and would gladden. her
heart by its grateful Significance
even when descending to her grave.
And more than that, Should the
colored people revive and carry out
the design they once began, to pen
sion Mrs. Brown from their own
glad gifts, 1t would induce in the
hearts of all the people of this coun-
try, and of all the friends of human
ity everywhere, loving respect and
appreciation for their race such as
no other single action could induce.

OF Venus which, according tn
Schlaparelli, Is always turned away
rom the sun II Is impossible to say
anything that Is not of a speculative
character, and yet the subject In
most attractive. We have some
thing partially equivalent upon the
earth during the long arctic and
antarctic nights, and we know that
life can exist for time Mt least even
under such conditions. But 1t is
hardly reasonable to conclude, argu-
Ing from purely terrestrial analo-
giles, that the unillumined side of
Venus can possess permanent inhab-
itants. If we chose to indulge our
fancy we might suppose that those
sunless regions, the abode of uncnd-
ing night and unbroken frost, where
tho cloudless skies are ablaze with
stars, which, with the prob
able aid of brilliant auroras,
furnish the only light that falls
ou that side of the globe, would pre-
sent an irresistible temptation to ex-
plorers from the day of Venus.
From the dark hemisphere, looking
out through the clear air
into the black, star-gemmed
concave of the heavens, the adven-
turous visitor would behold spec
tacle Of astonishing magnitlcence.
Next autumn, when Venus has
come between the earth and the sun
and the two planets are only some
70, 100000 miles asunder, such u
spectator would see the earth over
head as u star of overpowering
splcndor, far brighter than Venus
appears to us at its brightest, and
accompanied by another fainter,
but still bright star, the moon, play
ing slowly about its giant neigh bor,
like some brilliantly luminous insect
unable to escape from the charmed
blaze.
Upon Mercury, as we pointed out
some months ago in describing
Schiaparellis discovery that that
planets time of rotation comedies
with its period of revolution around
the sun, there must he two regions
On the east and west borders OF the
sunward hemisphere, where the sun
rises and sets. This Is owing to the
great eccentricity of Mercury's orbit,
which produces q considerable libra
ton, or apparent rocking back and
forth of the planet with reference to
the sun. But, as we have seen, the
orbit of Venus IN almost a circle, and
so there is but small libratiOn, and
the sun must stand almost still di.
rectly overhead at the center of
the sunny side Of the planet, instead
of swinging slowly to and fro along
an arc of many degrees, as In the
case of Mercury. Accordingly, the
border regions between the light
and dark halves Of Venus, where
the sun can be seen to rise and set,
must be narrow, and, probably, too
Insignificant in extent to offer many
advantages as places of dwelling.
But how wonderfully does this
simple discovery of the Italian as
tronomer, If IL Is correct, add to the
known diversity of conditions pre-
vailing in the planetary system.
With the exception, perhaps, Of
Mars, there is no planet beyond the
earth which astronomers have re-
garded rs 50 likely to be an inhab-
tied world as Venus.

How Boys Tied to Got Rid of Their
Leather Trousers.

How Boys Tied to Got Rid of Their
Leather Trousers.
A hundred years ago or more 1t
was customary in some parts of New
England for men and boys to wear
trousers made of leather, says the
Youths Companion. The historian
of the town of Wells, Me-, remarks
that such garments were not alto
gether satisfactory, for the rather
curious reason that they lasted too
long.
We remember hearing a matron
of the olden times tell story of
the two boys of one of their neigh
bors. They had begged of their
mother that they might lay aside
their leather trousers and have a
pair made of domestic cloth, but all
heir entreatie5 were in vain. She
would give them no other encour-
agement than to promise that
when the leather was worn out,
they should have pair of home
spun.
They endured for long time the
veXation ofthe unyielding garments,
which promised to be ns lasting as
the raiment of the 1sraelites in the
wilderness.
Finally all hope failed the boys
and their wits came to their aid.
They took to the grindstone. One
sat upon 1t while the other turned
the crank. In imagination they
saw themselves already clothed in
the long-desired homespun.
But, alas! their hopes were sud
enly blasted. All ut once their
father came round the corner of the
barn aud discovered them thus en-
ployed. They had still to wear the
leather-for how much longer the
historian is unable to say.

does that do, while Louisiana

Wananakor may prohibit lottery
letters going through the mails, but
they will continue to 20 through

The state may prohibit tho sale Of
tickets through agents, but the sale
will go on ms long as the public
press continues to blow the lottery
horn. The bare mention of prize
drawn In town excltes the popula-
tion and stimulates the sale of
tickets to an alarming extent.
When the monthly drawing IL pub

large amounts drawn by the for

ant and the credulous. Half u

Why can't the Georgia Press Asso-
citation take action on this subject
and refuse their columns To this
maelstrom and then the other states
will follow. Is our press so utterly
poor that II can not live without
this pittance-this sop from
Dauphin & Co. Is II so venal
that it will willingly lend Its aid to
this mighty fraud. God forbid. Tho

dorsement. Two years ago IL poor

1t got into the papers, and
1t Is said that 5000 went
from the pay rolls of the
laborers the next month. 1 asked
II young man last night how much
he had invested In lottery tickets.
"Only Sl5 this year" he
said. "Draw anything" said
!. "Not cent? no said. II

thousands who draw nothing, and

conclusion 10 that there is II vast
Held for improvement in this de-
partnent of school work" The
great mass of the manuscripts were
notable chiefly for inaccurate spell
ing, false syntax and lack of precls-
ion In the use of words. Many wrl-
ters showed slovenliness Of con-
strnctlon that disclosed not only
their total lack of knowledge of
grammar but also that this lack had
developed In them chronic mental
slouchiness, They had not acquired
the art OF thi;king clearly, having
failed to acquire the art of using
English correctly. If bad English
We're the sole result of the neglect of
English grammar, the consequences
would be dcplorable. But slovenli-
ness of grammar Is bound to
be accompanied by slouchiness Of
thought.
II IL painful to find English thus
dying at the roots. The hills, the
wales, the fields, the streams that
gave us the literature of the New
Englanders, that constitutes our
highest claim to the respect of the
old Englanders and of the world,
ought not suffer the language of
Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittier,
Holmes aud Lowell to wither.
Wither 1t must If its grammar be
not taught in the common schools,
taught 80 thoroughly that every
child shall know bad English in-
tuitively from good English, and
despise the former while he cher
ishes the latter. 1t Is folly to de-
claim against "technican grammar.
The very term "technicap' is APP
piled to 1t in mischievous and
ignorant derision. In n country
where immigration has planted
tongue spoken In the century; I'm
whose common schools the illiterate
of every race are commingled; where
slang Is the weed that grows inces-
sanity, without serious resistance,
shall we wonder If bad English be-
comes almost universal If 1t be not
taught through its grammar? There
is not technical English grammar
and one that Is not technical. There
is only one English grammar; 1t is
easily acquired If ably taught. Many
of its terms are difficult ut first Of
comprehension, being somewhat
metaphysical; but any intelligent
and persistent teacher can master
English grammar with little effort,
and If devoted to his or her calling,
will soon make students master 1t
also.

How awkward most people are
with their left hands! There Is no
reason, ut least no necessity for this,
but 1t is true. 1t is partly due to
heredity and partly to habit and
practice, but 1t could not be over
come. The left arm and hand
might be cultivated to the same de-
gree OF dexterity, which literally
means right-handedness, as the
right arm and hand, but 1t involves
trouble, time and patience, and
therefore Is neglected. The left
arm has good reason to complain of
this injustice.
