Homestead Lyceum and Free Mail
Delivery.

The most eminent lecturers and au-
thors in New England and New York,
besides the best readers, concert COM
panies and the like, are now cooperating
in a mighty but intensely practical effort
to supply rural communities with the
same instruction and entertainment that
the cities enjoy and at prices within the
means of these people. This work is
called the Homestead lyceum course, or
ganized by the New England Homestead
of Springfield, Mass. Its issue of Octo-
Der 10 will give the names and addresses
OF several hundred of these parties, with
terms and topics and simple instructions
for organizing a lyceum in every town.
ship. From this great list, a lyceum
committee or the grange, farmers club,
ETC., can pick out course of lectures,
reading, concerts and the like, as may
be desired. No commission is charged
and there is no red tape about it.
Simply write to the lecturers and enter
tanners you want, making all arrange
ments with them individually.
Without exaggeration, this is bring
ing city advantages right to the farmers
door. Nothing like it has ever been
done and 1t Is destined to usher in the
dawn of a new day in the social, literary
and family activity of rural New Eng
land and New York. So great is the
plan in scope and promise that it brings
down an avalanche of praise from such
men as Rev DIR Edward Everett Hale of
Boston, Col Il. w. Higginson of Cam
bridge, Mass, George W.. Cable, the
novelist, Rev Minor j. Savage Of Boston,
President Warren of Boston University,
Prof Lintner, Prof w. w. Cooke and
many others in similar positions, besides
pledges Of support from officers of all
agricultural organizations. Most of the
gentlemen named are included in the list
of speakers and are cooperating in the
Homestead lyceum, besides which may
be named Prof Young, the astronomer,
Bob Burdette, DIR Talmage and others of
national repute. There are also many
professional men who have bright and
funny lectures, scores Of specialists in
agriculture and agricultural science,
lawyers on farm law, doctors on
hygiene-indeed, nearly every phase of
human interest is represented. All
practical lectures will be in the nature Of
talks. with opportunity for queries by
the audience and free discussion.
Side by side with the lyceum, the
Homestead is working might and main
to secure Of the government free deliv-
cry OF mails in farming districts. This
would remove one more of the main dis
advantages Of farm life and increase
business and the circulation Of news
papers to an astonishing degree, besides
aiding greatly in the diffusion of educa-
ton. Taken together, these two move
ments are gigantic stride toward that
which. farmers and their families most
long for--the advantages Of city and
towu life on the farm.

batter of the Can2das. Very few men
have been able to command SO implicitly
submissive following, and no man ever
proved more faithful to his political dis
ciples. His place will be difficult to fill,
but it will be taken. No one falls that
another is not raised up to fill the va
cancy. But it is not of necessity to be
concluded that the new man will pursue
the direct line of the policy concerning
later Canadian questions the late leader
had adopted, and which, it was the judg-
ment of the lookers-on, he must have
materially modified very soon.
The career of Sir John Macdonald was
one of great brilliancy. Before he was
thirty he was Queens Counsel, and ten
years later was bencher. His political
life began in 1874, when he went to the
Canadian House of Assembly, position
he held with scarcely any to dispute un-
til 1867, when the union was formed and
he took his place in the House of Com
mons of Canada, sitting until 1878, when
he met his first defeat after thirty-four
years of continued political success. Four
years later he was bacl: in Parliament.
During one term he was honored by being
made the member for two counties, a
compliment followed later on by two
other counties. He was Receiver-General
as early as 1647, and subsequently Com
missioner of Crown Lands. He was in
the Coalition Cabinet of 1854, and became
Attorney General. In 1856 he became
the leader of his party, the Conservative
forces hailing his accession with delight.
From this position he was never ousted.
1t would occupy too much space to fol-
low down in detail the line Of his public
life, the high positions he held and the
triumphs and defeats in which he partic-
ipated. He was appropriately named
"The Father of the Dominion" for to his
genius and ability was the union of the
colonial governments due. AS Premier,
or as leader of the opposition, he was at
all times the advocate of the oneness of
the British American provinces, and
maintained their individuality even to
the extent Of tariff discriminating in
favor of the Dominion as against the
mother country. He was one of the
High Joint Commission to settle the
Alabama claims, and for his services in
that behalf was called to the Privy Coun-
Gil Of Great Britain, an honor very rarely
conferred upon colonial statesman. 1t
was due to his courage and humanity
that the land laws, charities regulation,
prison reform, criminal laws betterment,
and other improvements in the interest
of men, were accomplished. To his far
seeing, political acumen and broad
humanity the Canadas are indebted for
most of the greater reforms they enjoy,
that move abreast with the most ad-
vanced civilization.

THE LOG DRIVE.
Colonel Cummings Writes That 1t is
Not a Failure.
He Says There is Plenty of Snow to
Swell the River and Bring
Down the Logs.

Colonel G.. w. Cummings, Superin-
tendent of the American River Land and
Lumber Company, writes from his log
ging camp at Mosquito, FL Dorado
County, as follows in relation to an item
recently copied from an El Dorado paper:
EDS. RECoRD-UN Permit me to
correct the statement made in your issue
of the 5th inst, that the log drive of the
American River Land and Lumber Com
pany is practically abandoned for this
season at least.'' The RECORD UNION
has always manifested a most friendly
disposition toward this company, and l
am sure the regret expressed in the para
graph referred to, for the loss of timber,
time and money is honest and sincere.
But am happy to add that the condo
lences of our friends are not yet in order.
The log drive has passed the most diff
cult portion of the river, and if the water
had held its head for four or five days
longer the logs would have safely reached
the boom at Folsom. The unprecedented
cold weather in the mountains checked
the flow of water from the melting SHOWS.
The river fell three feet in as many days.
The log drive was therefore suspended
not abandoned-and the men were sent
back to bring down 10000 railroad ties
and several hundred cords of wood, now
in the river, and which have in most part
already passed, without driving, the diff
ficult portion of the river before referred
to, there being sufficient water for this
work. The cold weather will probably
prove to be blessing in disguise. 1t has
not only held the original snow beyond
the season of probable rainfall, but has
added very measurably to its depth.
In fact there is as much again of snow
in the mountains now as there was at this
time last year tributary to the watershed
of the south fork. We look for a good
flood yet, and our friends may rest as
sured that log driving on the American
River has not been abandoned by our
company for this season or for many sea-
sons to come.
