The Farewell Lecture.

series Of meetings held by Mrs. Owen
and Miss Gray. The exercises con-
sisted Of vocal music, recitations by
Miss Gray, one of which, "Whistling
in Heaven" was very fine, and lee
ture by Mrs. Owen on the subject,
"The Force of Habit" to which we
beg leave to take some exceptions.
Habit is fixed, established custom,
or ordinary course Of conduct; hence
habit is the involuntary tendency to
perform certain actions, acquired by
frequent repetition.
"The child, following it's father,
attempts by long strides to place his
little feet in his footsteps. The force
of habit" says Mrs. Owen. Not at
all; for the boy does not form habit
Of taking long strides when walking
simply because at some time he at
tempted to initiate the lengthy steps
taken by his father.
"Among all the people you meet no
two walk alike. The force Of habit"
says the speaker. By no means; for
the difference in gait is accounted
for by the difference in physical
structure. Among all the people you
meet no two look alike, not from force
Of habit, but from difference in the
natural conformation of the physiog-
nomy. The physical construction of
no two persons is alike, hence no two
persons walk alike; for it is impos-
sibie that tall, slim man should
walk in-the same manner that a short,
heavy man does, no matter how much
he may try to do 80.
"There is not man under the
sound OF my voice, OR woman either
for that matter, who has not some
habit of which he is ashamed" says
the lecturess. To this proposition we
most strenuously object; for we be-
lieve there are men and women who
are entirely free from "habits" of
which they are ashamed. To err is
human; and while it is true that there
is none perfect, and all are liable to
go astray at times, no person who is
actuated by the principles Of right
will repeat q known error until it be-
comes habit. An indiscretion COM
mitted in an unguarded moment by a
person who tries to do right often
causes the blush of shame to mantle
the cheek OF him who commits it,
and this fact will prevent him from
repeating the otfense, hence he will
not permit the error to become q
"habit." That many persons Of both
sexes have habits OF which they are
ashamed we are free to admit; but
We have too much faith in humanity
to believe that all are guilty Of know
ingly, willfully and persistently fol-
owing up course of conduct which
they know to be wrong, and Of which
they are ashamed. The lady closed
her lecture with strong appeal for
sympathy for the fallen, especially for
the unfortunate woman now confined
in our County Jail under sentence Of
death for the commission of "a terrible
crime. "She is a woman and a
mother" said the speaker, "and en-
titled to the earnest sympathy Of the
women of this community"
While the general tenor Of Mrs.
Ovens lecture was timely and good,
and we would do we'll to heed the adj
vice given, we have taken the liberty,
with the most kindly feelings, to
criticise those portions Of the address
with which we do not agree, at the
same time wishing her abundant sue.

Brutality to COnvicts.


The sympathy of all humane people has
recently been aroused by the lectures of
George KEENAN, on the barbarism of Russia
in the treatment of criminals and political
prisoners in Siberia. t.z.
While our papers and public speakers
have been denOuncing these atrocities and
demanding in the name of humanity that
there should be change. there has been
greater barbaritv in progress right at our
very doors.
Some of the greatest fortunes which have
been made in the South since the war have
been secured in this manner, and it is a
common thing when you hear of rich man
in some of the Southern States and ask how
he acquired his wealth to learn that he has
had convict leases.
All through the South they have no peni-
tentiarieS, but lease the cOnvicts, and this
system has become one of the political mon
strosities of that section of the country.
The criminals are leased in bulk in their re-
spective states to whoever has the political
pull or represents some political ring. and
that party paying small pittance to the
State. subjects them in gangs to railroads
and other corporations. and to plantations.
Not very long since the New York World
made an exposure of the atrocities of
Georgia under this system, and Mr.. Depew,
who visited that State, was quoted as
speaking of the barbarsm which existed.
1t is not to his credit that when there was
a hue and cry raised in Georgia that he had
come there and partaken of their hospitality
only to abuse them, that he disclaimed
critcsing their peculiar system. The Presi-
dental bee was buzzing too vigorously in
his bonnet to enable him to take the manly
stand and denounce the brutality.
The Memphis Commercial, however, to
its credit. has taken up the cudgel so far
as Mississippi is concerned. and makes sick
ening revelations. The brutality of the
slavery era is far surpassed by the atrocious
treatment of criminals. One of the COM
mOnest occurrences is whipping to death.
The cOnvicts are represented as no more
than half-clothed and lily fed. Though the
winters are not severe they are not pro-
vided with clothing to prevent them from
freezing. They are compelled to work
barefOOted in winter weather. to perform
railroad work in the swamps standing al
most to their waists in water, chained to-
gether. not even allowed to be supplied
with drinking water other than the swampy
liquid in which they stand to work. They
work from half past in the morning until
as late as daylight will permit. with but
thirty minutes respite for dinner and the
most inadequate food.
The details as given are really too re-
voting for publication. and the reader can

similar offenses in Northern states The
death rate among the convicts ia nearly and
some years quite ten times the death rate
among prisoners in Northern penite ntiaries.
and even then the death rate is not really
known, for when it suits a brutal overseer
to shoot convict or whip him to death
they bury him where he falls and report
him as escaped"
No country which had not been brutalized
by the presence of human slavery could
tolerate such inhumanity, and if the South
would give one-half the attention to hn-
manizing her penitentiary system which she
gives to talking over the dead issues of the
war and bOasting of the wonderful fight she
made. the foul blot upon civilization would
be remOved.-St. Paul Daily News.

La Grippe is making rapid strides in this
city as we'll as throughout all of the towns
between New York and Boston. It is estf-
mated that over half the people Of this city
are suffering from bad colds or the grip.
Those who have never been troubled with
colds have fallen easy victims to the dreaded
European visitor. Besides affecting its vic
Tins with all the discomferts of severe cold
1t is accompanied, in severe cases, by disor-
ders Of the nervous system, headaches, fever
and general exhaustion, which becomes al
most unbearable.
II is said that the worst of the epidemic
has passed. This is the opinion of Health
Officer Wright. He thinks tho more recent
cases are generally of milder form than the
first and it looks now more like hard colds,
duo no doubt to the weather. Still, people
will do well to take extraordinary preoau-
tions against taking cold.
