The New Comma ndment of the state
Ouida in North American Review.

Ouida in North American Review.
The state has already passed its cold,
hard. irol-plated arms between the parent
and the offspring and is daily dragging
and forcing them asunder. The old moral
law may say, Honor your father and
mother" etc. etc, but the state says. on
the contrary: Leave your mother i'll and
INTENDED whil 1t you attend To your own
education; and summon your father to be
fined and imprisoned If he dare Law hand
on you when you disgrace and deride
him." The other day workingman in
London was sentenced 10 fortnight's i'm
prisonment with hard labor. because, be-
ing justly angry with his little girl for dis
obeying his orders and staying out night
after night IN the streets, ne struck her
twice with leathern strap. and she was
slightly bruised The man asked perti-
nently what was the world coming TO # a
parent might not correct his child as he
thought ut What can be the relations of
this father and daughter when ne leaves
the prison 10 which she sent him? What
authority can he have III her sight? What
obedience will he be able to exact from
her? The bruises from the strap would
soon pass away. but the rupture By the
sentence of the tribunal, OF parental aud
filial ties can never be healed. The moral
injury done 10 the girl by this interference
of the state is irreparable, inefiaceanle.
Tie state has practically told her tina: dis
obedience is no offence. and has allowed
her TO be the accuser and jailer of one
who. bv another canon of law, IS said TO
be set in authority over her both by. God
and man.

A GENERAL TOULOUSE.
Aecomm odd alton for Large Farm ImpIe-
ments and the small Hand Tools.

The leading requisite for general tool
house for the larger farm implements and
machines. according TO Country Gentle
man, is to have it open on both sides, so
that wagons, ~reapers, horserakes. sulky
plows and everything drawn by horses
may be driven in one side for shelter and
out again on the other side for use.
This viii save much labor otherwise
required to pack these machines away
when driven in on one side only. Slid
ing or swinging doors may be pro-
vided, if required, to exclude wind rain
and snow. If the land is level, 1t will be
necessary to have all the places ofentrance
and exit on the same level, but with de-
scent or sloping surface the entrance may
be above for such tools as are used on the
higher fields and the other entrance be-
low opening toward the lower fields. But
this arrangement will prevent the drivin 2
in on one side and out on the other.
The builder will ascertain by measuring
his larger tools what Will be the most
economical width of the building, so as to
receive them all without undue crowding

pressing a lever thus enabling the driver

In the second cut is shown a harness
attachment for holding down a horse that

device of an Indiana genius, and was orig

A suggestive idea About Fences.

The Ohio Farmer makes the following
suggestion, as there is large amount of
wire and picket fencing being built at
present.
Instead of every picket being full
length, let every other one be only one
half length. As the pickets used in such
fences are generally two inches wide,
with spaces from two to three inches, it
can be seen that this fence will turn ali

will be high enough for the story. and one
story will suffice if no straw is to be stored
above, except what is there placed to ex-
clude the cold. few rails laid on the
crossties which bind the building together
will sustain the weight OF the straw. which
will exclude cold and absorb moisture bet

On the inside of the posts which have
been set in the gronud tiattened poles or

Trouble In MOntaininc n Gold BASIS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-ISpcciall-
Secretary Foster made tho following
statement to-day in regard to rounding
operations and the financial situa ton
generally: About SIS, 500, 900 OF the K
per cent bonds have been extended and
applications have been received cover
ing about two and a half millions moro.
What tho final outcome may be, of
course, do not know. 1t is probable
that considerable portion of tho balance
$50, 00c, 600, will be extended.
1t will be no hardship to tho Treasury
to be called upon to pay those not OK
tended. In fact, such paymentwill add,
by the amount paid. to the money in tho
hands OF tho people. By tho extension
wo succeed in preventing decrease of
the National bank notes, and.'in fact.
havo so far increased the circulation
nearly five millions. The outlook i.
that considerable moro Of increase will
be effected. | am not finding fault
with the action of banks, as might be
inferred from recent publications. I
saw Mr. Sherman at Mansfield. al
ways find it protita to discuss money
matters with him.
The statement photographed from
Mansfield regarding our conference is
purely romantic. While there is less
money in tho Treasury than for many
years past, it is in comfortable condi-
ton. Because OF less money in the
Treasury it will always take more
money than ever before is in the hands
OF the people, thus facilitating the con-
duct OF business of the country. We
are on gold basis, and there is no &C.
casion for alarm as to the ability of tho
government to maintain this condition.
The Secretary has ample power to
maintain or increase the present reserve
OF gold. may add that Mr.. sherman
fully agrees with me regarding the legal
power of the Secretary as above ex-
pressed. do not see any occasion for
the exercise OF the power, but do not
hesitate to say, should occasion arise, l
shall not fail to use it.

During the past three or four days q
stranger, who claimed Chattanooga,

faro at the gambling rooms attached to

Wagner to hand over the bank roll. ~

amounting to Sl06 was handed out. and
he cody made his escape, presenting
his revolver at several persons who at
tempted to detain him. No trace of
him has yet been found. He had called
on Wagner earlier in the day asking
for twenty dollars to help him get out
of town.
This money was given to him, and ho
signed the name L. L. Falling to the re-
ceipt, and said he was from CHATTANOOGA

out, and the money be lost playing faro
yesterday was part of tho insurance

caused by the closing of all the gambling
