Did you ever meet a college-bred girl who did not love her Alma Materp And why should not she, as well as her brother, think her own "the dear est, and noblest and best"? After reading the charmipgly written and magniticently Illustrated article or Student Life at Wellesley College, n in Demorest's Family Magazine for November, just received, we do not wonder at the enthusiasm of the
 Wellesley alumne and students for the "Welleslev blue"
 Every woman-and every man, too will be interested in tue Illustrated article about "The Fur Seal''--the wo- men, because every blessed one of them loves a handsome sealskiu gar ment; and the men. because they want to know what they pay their money | for, for 'sealskin is sealskinH now, and costs Il pile of money
 Indeed, this number of the maga- zine really takes us all around the
 world Starting at Wellesley, by sim 1 ply turning the leaves we are trans ported to The Land of the Lapps, v and the numerous illustrations and vivid descriptions make us quite familiar with these queer people; then the illustrated serial story carries us to China, and we complete the circuit by visiting the seals in Alaska and Greenland, taking little diversion by the way in reading Chat about society doings, and enjoying in imagination so many good things told about in "Household,H that we wish Thanksgiving were already come. l In fact. if you want to be amused with good stories learn how fn kppp house and make 1t beautiful, how to keep well, or anything else that you want to know, take our advice and send your subsci ,tion lonly g. year. to Landyoigt X Vadakin, Forrt st City Ark

How IN the name of consistency and common sense can a Southern man, or any other man who has the interests of his fellow laborers it heart, vote for MT. Featherston for eonpress, when he casts his votes with the republicans, who have shown determination to oppress us in every way pessihleY With the recent outrages perpetrated and attempted by Reeds congress in our mind. we firmly believe that the man who votes for the return of one of Reeds tools to the national body of lawmakers degrdes his manhood. aids the robbers to steal from his neighbor and his family in the guise of pro tsctive tariif, and allows bis ignorance tor his prejudieel to sway him against the advice of in ligent men and his own better nature and judgment.

THE IxaAu.,.s IDEA.

Taking as text the declaration of Senator John James Ingalls, that "the meanest republican that ever lived is better than the best democrat" the Nashville American says:
 This is doubtless the orthodox repub- lican view and will explain great many things which we otherwise could not understand. We should not other wise be able to explain why corrupt and venal republican politician com mands the enthusiastic support of his party over an honest, able and consci- entious democratic statesman. But we think Mir. Ingalls, might have broaden ed his statement and still not have sin ned against the orthodox view. He might have said that the meanest re- publican that ever lived is considered by such persons as John James Ingalls, as good as the best republican that ever lived. When Il man or party gets to the point of declaring thief and a scoundrel better than an honest man mainly because one votes the republi- can the other the democratic ticket the only conclusion to be drawn is that ill the conscience of that man or party there is no very strong attachment to which Is good, and no very pronounced repugnance to that which is mean. Upon the principle announced by Mir. Ingalls,. the republican party finds ex- cuse for accepting the aid of known and notorious scoundrels, and of re- warding them with high office and influential positions. lift be necessary to put the party in the hands of public thieves, acknowledged boodlers and smug-faced, sanctimonious hypocrites in order to achieve success, why shouldn't it be doney The meanest re- publican is better than the best demo- crat. and hence we have Quay, and Dudley, and Wanamaker. and Tanner. and Ranm. and have had thousand blg and little thieves, who plundered with impunity and stole the peoples s money before the peoples eyes with out punishment or the fear of punish ment.
