A two year old girl was broug

A two year old girl was brought to Professor Ranke in the children's hospital at Munich, who was suffer ing from dropsy in consequence of cirrhosis of the the liver. Profes- sor Ranke says that it's fostermoth- CT had confessed that she was in the habit of taking the child with her into the saloon, often in the morn ing,sometimes staying till midnight. The child drank at least a glass and half of beer daily, and the other frequenters of the saloon often made the little one drunk out of sport, It could drink a glass of beer at one draught. The illness had commenced three months pre- vious, and there is no doubt that this is the same liver affection, which is so often a consequence of drinking, and that sooner or later proves fatal.-Balletristisches Jour nal

What Newspapers Do.

No publisher or editor pretends that he risks his capital, gives time, labor. thought and care to the mak- ing of newspaper for charity's $ sake. He publishes his paper as the book publisher publishes his book for profit as a means of living oI making a fortune. Publishing a newspaper is strictly business, though there is no other business on the face of the earth of which plilanthrophy and patriotism are so largely part. The newspaper is the helper of the church and the school, of religion, of science, liter ature, art, industry, agriculture, of everything which concerns the good of society and the state. It is the very prop and stay of charity and public spirit; the greatest enemy of public wrong or injustice, and it must be so necessarily, as it is but public sentiment reflected in type.
 The newspaper depends for it's success upon popular favor, and the aim of everyone connected with it is that of winning popular favor by running on parallel lines with public morality. The newspaper press is generally as high in morals and intelligence as the public con science and mind. It creates the public sentiment that destroys pub lie wrongs and often secure justice by proclaiming injustice-Ex.

Common Law Marriage.

For very needless young persons
 and tor men and women of mature
 growth and depraved tastes "com-
 mon-law marriage" seems to have a
 peculiar attraction. Its obligations
 are easily assumed and easily re-
 pudiated. It imposes very little re- straint on either party to it, for the matrimonial status of both Is apt
 to be too uncertain to permit of the
 one trying to redress by legal means
 the infidelity of the other. But this combination between marriage and
 concubinage has it's drawbacks. A
 woman who is satisfied with the
 fiimsiest kind of marriage contract
 is not likely to have very much eau
 ton or principle. Even when more
 of a mistress than a wife she can be admitted where the partner to
 frankly illicit relation could not go. She is usually endowed with quali- ties which make her a center of so- cial disturbance. Her adventurous disposition furnishes too often the groundwork for a tragedy The complications which arise from free and easy marriage concern Ameri- can society more vitally than did those resulting from polygamy in Utah. It Is a maxim of American jurisprudence that "a marriage good at common law IS good notwith- standing the existence of any stat ute on the subject, unless the stat ute contain express words of null lity." Waiving the question of whether iL be a vital requirement. of liberty to preserve the validity of marriage by consent, without solemnizatIon and without witnesses, it is not too much to de- mand that every marriage should | become q matter of public record, and that unless it is recorded it should be held to be void. It is plain that for it's own protection so- ciety will have to require some less questionable evidence Of marriage than the caprice of the parties to it. The strength ot all matrimon- ial obligations will become fatally | if frivolous or depraved | people are allowed to play fast and loose with them. Individual liber- ty is sacred possession, but indi- vidual license is quite a different thing The two have never been able to exist together, and in this matter of marriage liberty seems to be rapidly degenerating into li- cense.-New York World.

Comparatively a few years ago the Standard Oil Company. now said to be the greatest monopoly in the world, was an Ohio corporation with a capital of only $lC0,000. It now controls nine tenths of the 25,- GOO wells in the United States, and most of those in Canada, Mex leo and South America. Four years ago it began business in England, practically annexing it to this coun- try. Next it secured a monopoly of the oil trade in Germany, Holland and Italy, and is now said to have achieved the conquest of Russia, its most serious rival. The statement is made that enough oil is hidden away in the earth there to supply the world for centuries. Oil is pour ing out of the 400 wells (which can produce as much as our 25,000) in such quantities that it has to be gathered in immense ponds. Where we have to go down 2,00O or 5000 feet the Russians have to go but 500. One of the Baku wells has yielded as much as 100000 gal Ions in twenty-four hours.

Some curious observations were made by MT, Rawlet, of Lyons, on on the skeletons of monkeys among which were 49 chimpanzees, 26 go- rillas and II orang-outangs. There were several examples of epiphyses ) cases of fracture, the same num- Der of deformed joints and cases oi justification. The maladies bore a remarkable resemblance to similar accidents observed in man. In the cases of fracture, although the mon key tribe have neither removable bandages, nor surgeons, the knitting of the bones took place just as well as among human beings. The de- formed joints (attributed to star vation, privations and dampness, were only found among the goril- las, who live on the ground, and not among the monkeys who live in trees. The latter very naturally had more cases of fracture. Ac- cording to the author of this state ments, diseases of the bone are as frequent among monkeys as among men.-Paris la Nature.

the movement. Neither did they assign
the fear of heavy taxation as their only
motive, but gave many and potent rea-
sons for their action.
The same is true of the San Diego
convention lead by Agostin Harazthy,
who by tongue and pen, made an hon.
orable fight for state division.
If the Los Angeles convention had
said that "ruinous taxes would have to
be levied to support the suate," as Mr..
Bancroft's writer makes them say, they
merely expressed fear which has we'll
nigh been proved. But no such words
can be found in the records of the con-
vention.
As the movement for state division
did not end with the Los Angeles con-
vention of 1850, it is to be presumed
from Mr.. Fosters premises that the real
motive of the Santa Barbara convention
OF 1851 was also "the southern interest
in slavery" AS David Jacks, Pacifcus
Ord, J. A. Estudillo, E. W. Morse,
Charles II. Johnson, Abel Stearns,
Frank Mellus, Ygnacio and Antonio f.
Coronel, Pho Pico, Luis Vignes, B. ID.
Wilson, j. o. Wheeler and Nicholas
Den were not the only real but the
ostensible leaders, and their real mo-
tive was the civil liberty of Southern
California, and not the erection of
slave state, Mr.. Fosters charges falls to
the ground. The same is true of like
charge against the movement of 1859.
Mr.. Foster made foolish lapsus stylus.
The charge was denied at the time by
j. j. Ames, editor of the. San Diego
Herald, in the issue OF that paper of
October l, 1853, as follows
"In my examination of the whole
ground, can perceive no reason why
the subject of slavery should be mixed
up with the issue of state division"
Defeated, defrauded and DETAINED,
Southern California was helpless. Pres

ance with their customs, she went out
away from the body of the tribe and
commenced her life anew among defer
ent surroundings. In everything con-
nected with this so-called murder the
participants acted in full accordance
with their tribal traditions and customs,
and to have acted in any other manner
meant death to the derelict.
Now, can any reasoning being claim
for moment that any ends OF justice
will be subserved by the execution of
these three Indians? Will it teach the
remainder Of the tribe any salutary les
son? Will it prevent the recurrence of
such acts? Will it do anybody any

The Visit of tho Legislators.

The members of the legislature will spend
next Saturday in Savannah. 1.-THE weather
/ is fine they will enjoy their visit. There is
no doub: about that. Savannah knows
how to entertain them. Other legislatures
have visited Savannah and they did not
regret that they abandoned the halls of
legislation for day or two, to partake Of
the Inequalities of the chief seaport Of the
state.
The making of arrangements for the en-
tertainment Of the visitors is in competent
hands The programme has teen conf
pleted and it is a satisfactory one. 1t will
occupy fully the time of the visitors, and
if they ore observant and induisitive they
viii learn, doubtless, many things that will
aid them in their legislative work.
A good many of them have the idea, ap-
parently, that there is an irrepressible con-
flict between the farmers aud the mer-
chants-those who make the crops and those
who move and market them. The idea is
an erroneous one. The farmers cannot get
along without the N srchants, and the nler-
chants could do nothing without the farm
ers. They are necessary 70 each other.
And therefore they should become as we'll
acquainted with each other as possible, so
as TO avoid injuring each other through
misunderstanding. And their represen Ia
tives should understand fully the relations
between them, and how dependent the one
class Is upon the other. This knowledge Is
necessary 70 the making of laws thaJ will
contribute TO the general prosperity and
viii not cripple one interest with the ex-
pectation OF benefiting another.
The legislators will nos regret their visit
to Savannah 1t will be brief but pleas
ant relief from their legislative duties. and
they will return to those duties refreshed,
and will, perhaps. carry with them impress
sions that will modify the views that have
guided them in making laws

seated on q barrel in the shade he said;
SIT isn't the being kicked and thrown out
which hurts me, but it's the knowledge that
every one believes me blk and liar. You
tell the truth don't your"
Invariably
so do l. I'm mighty hard up, but I wouldn t
lie to be rich"
whats your case?"
We'll, was working on farm in Rhode

drinking out of spring in field, | swallowed a
frog I'm certain of it, because felt him go
down. and be also croaked when he was going.''
That's queer"
Only two other cases like it ever heard of
sir"
And how has it affected youY"
why, in the first place, he has grown to be a
whopper of frog. II seems to just agree with
him down there His growth distresses me
somewhat, but the worst is he takes fits of want
ing to frisk and play. He wants to stand on his
head. jump over logs, turn somersaults and cut
up circus, and it sets my heart to beating and
throws me into a cold sweat. | may be working
at job at 81 day, but The minute he begiuS |
have to quit
And about the only thing to stop him when
he starts in to have circus is glass of beer" "
THAT'S exactly the case. You understand it
as well as if You had a frog of your own"
II see. The only thing that will quiet him.
And as soon as the sun goes down ne begins
10 croak ana wants 10 get out on grassy hum

He do. sir-he do Why, drat him, he croaks
that loud that CEN sleep. l just imagine that
I'm lying alon yside New Jersey marsh. You
must have had one yourself"
No, never had; but can imagine how il
works. To stop his 'croaking you must have

Exactly, sir. That's what he is croaking
| for"
And the bartender in there won't believe
your"
He won't, sir. He even goes so far as to say
| that I'm doing wrong to humor that frog with
| beer, and that ought to quiet him with Croton
water, He says it's teaching the frog to be ex-
travagant and live beyond his means Do you
| believe that, sir?"
Hardly. 1t seems to me that frog in that
situation ought to be treated with consideration
| If he gets the idea that you trying to palm
