would willingly accept diploma if
brought from the High School OF Man
kato. He referred to President Scar
ing's address as TO throwing out the
olive branch, and hoped it would be
accepted. In the midst of one of his
bursts of eloquence, with appraised
hand he said: what is real life?n
To many it is affection between man
and wife, or between mother and
daughter, or between father and son.
and sometimes between lovers, for
man loves and is loved. Surely educa-
tion makes tender the heart and keen
er the sensibillty." In manner of
increasing interest, he spoke of the
days when our fathers made sacrifices
that are beneiting the present genera
tion. Turning toward Professor a.
f. Bechdolt, who occupied chair on
the platform, he spoke in commenda-
bic terms, and that as the High School
bad such good man at the head
they would keep him in the years to
come. In conclusion he said: And
now that you have an elegant build
ing, fine site, good corps of teach
ers and an excellent superintendent,
go on in the good work, land what God
has joined together, let no man put
asunder.'n
After the singing of America" by
the audience, Rev. John Barbour pro-
nounced the benediction, and the
opening exercises were at an end.
Everybody went to their homes not
only highly pleased with the building
and the opportunities of work to be
performed, but entertained by men
who secured their education in the
.school-houseso of Minnesota. Without
a doubt the building is one Of the fin
est school buildings in the state. Its
location is commanding, slightly
view, opposite the new court house,
and the eye finds.rest in the beautiful
scenery, especially at this season, that
is seen in all directions. Its archi-
tectural design and finish are credit
TO this or any other state in this broad
land of ours. 1t has all the conyen-
fences for comfort and health. The
one hundred pupils attending the
High School proper ought to feel
proud Of such magnificent structure.

A BETTER LIFE.
That is What Frank Wild, of This
City Says He Will Lead From
This Time Forth.
An Affecting Scene in the Court Room.

There was quite a number of specta-
tors in the court room at the city hall
Friday morning at 10 O'Clock, brought
there by the fact that the case of the
State Of Minnesota VS. Frank Wild was
TO be called for trial, on the charge OF
niisdemeanor. Before the time set
for trial a conference was held, and
the prisoner, promising to take care
OF his family in the future, and also
reimburse the city TO the amount of
$3.50 {g Sept. 2lst. was given his
libertY
Judge Porter warned him that if he
failed ia either instance he would be
brought before the court and be tried.
II, after a time the county attorney
is satisfied that the defendant is pro-
viding for his family and is living in
peace a nd harmony. he will move that
the indictment be quashed.
Frank Wild was married three years
ago last June, and is blacksmith by
trade His family live on Second ST.,
near Union Hall. Two children have
been born to them, and up till a few
months ago they had a happy home.
For one cause or another it is said,
he began to neglect his family, failed
to furnish clothing, food or shelter,
and consequently left them destitute.
He forgot the day when he stood
before the hymeneal altar with one OF
Mankato-s young ladies and solemnly
declared he would love her, keep her.
in sickness and in health, and forsake
all others, keep only unto her, so long
as both shall live" When these facts
were brought to the attention Of the
defendent this morning, he hung his
head in shame, and his fair companion
who was sitting inanother part of the
court room, was yisibly affected.
AT the conclusion of the remarks OF
the Judge, Wild left the court room,
resolved to lead a better life: and be-
fore the sun rises on' Saturday morn
ing he says he will be engaged at
threshing at New Ulm where he has
promise Of work.
To a FREE PRESS man he said that
his wife and children from this time
forth shall not want for any Of the
things of life.
. II is to be hoped he will keep his
word.

MISSION Of SUFFERING.
Rev. F. NJ. Rule i'll the IL. E. Church,
Discourses on the Difference
Between Suffering and Sin.

The. Methodist Episcopal church
was comfortably filed Sunday morn
ing by a congrega tion Of attentive
listeners who drank in an interesting
and highly instructive sermon by the
pastor, Rev. T. NJ. Rule.
After the reading ofscripture lesson,
opening hymn and prayer, the preacher
took for his text a part of the fifth
chapter of Romans. His main theme
was the mission of suffering and its
true Interpretation. He began by
saying: mo JOY is like our joy, and
no sorrow like our sorrow. The end
of suffering to individuals as spoken
of by the apostles is discipline, and is
for the purpose OF teaching, training
and better qualifying us for sometime
and somewhere. In highly inter-
esting manner he drew several scrip
tural pictures to show that tribula-
tion had made people stronger, better
and more vigorous, and thus are more
able to cope with the great problems
of this day and generation. After he
had completed one word picture, he
went to another and brought out
what God had done for his people
when everything seemed dark and dis
NAL. Growing eloquent under the in
spiration of the hour, the preacher
cried out with uplifted hands: tBreth-
ern, do we glory in tribulation. in
trial, in sorrow? If we do we are bet
ter fitted to cope with the world, and
being strong and full of courage and
faith, are fit to appear before the
King of Glory! Have we that hope
that never disappoints or makes US
ashamed? If we have, then on this
bright morning of Gods day, we can
rejoice and be glad even in our suffer-
ing. The gospel of Christ is deep,
rich and full of goodness, and when
we are in one of our gloomy moods
we do not SO much want to be delivered
from suffering as from sin. A son
leaves his mother to go out onto the
great sea of life, with all of its activi-
ty, but what she fears more than the
sufferings of life is of the sins he may
commit. What patriot does not fear
national degradation more than suf-
ferlng or death on the field of battle:
When this nation had inscribed lib
erty on her banner and inflicted slav-
cry on class Of her subjects, her
only salvation was in the fact
that there were men and
women found who were ready and
willing to pour out their life's blood
that the nation might live.
1.-THE records Of the inebriate
asylum at Binghamton, y. Y, goes to
prove that no inmate ever went from
that institution a saved man unless
through the prayers of Gods people or
some loved one in a faR away
home Turning his attention toward
the church itself he said: mo church
is lifted up to a higher plane unless
through humiliation, suffering and
sacrifice. Brethren, friends; let us

think Of the great problems OF Christ
and his kingdom: and five do, we will
be brought into a brighter and cleaner
and more glorious atmosphere. Some
grow sick by the wayside and cry out
oh why have the waves and pillows
gone over us?' Let me encourage
you this morning by saying that it
gives US yigor and better things in
Christ; SO that we may walk on
higher plane of liying.''

IT PROMISES WE'LL.

A meeting of the board Of directors
OF the Combination Fair and Horse
Sale Of this city was held in The
Saulpaugh Saturday night, There
were eleven out Of fifteen directors
present. viz: ]. @. Curyer, president;
c. II. Piper, secretary: e. NJ. Weston
c. II. Boynton, Madelia: A. E. Gibbs,
st. James: Geo. E. Case and a.. Karl
son, st. Peter; S. +. Hartman, Rapi-
dan Mills: DR.. Standish, and George
Pond.
The purpose of the meeting was to
make further arrangements for the
sale which will take place October eth
and Sth. Arrangements have been
made with all the railroads running
into Mankato to sell excursion tickets
at one and third fare on Oct 6, I
and s, returnable on or before Oct. 8.
The committee on stable-room re-
ported that they have secured room
for about two hundred horses, and if
necessary can accommodate double
that number. On the whole, the
meeting was highly encouraging, and
those who are furtheung the matter
are looking forward to grand, sue
cessful sale.
1t has been suggested by several of
the directors that the merchants of
Mankato on the two days of sale make
a special reduction in their line of
goods, and advertise that fact, and
thereby attract certain persons who
might not otherwise take advantage
of the low railroad fare.

A Lesson.

The people OF the northern States ought
10 learn lesson from the present compli-
cations between Italy and the United
States. Especially ought this lesson to be
learned by the Republicans and oil other
persons who have held that oursis grand.
consolidated, central despotism, having
power to override all State laws and State
regulations.
Mr., BLAINE writes 60 the representative
of the italian Government that the United
States Government cannot interfere with
Me domestic affairs of the several States,
but. under the operation Of the nation
nj Constitution, must leave il TO them
selves 10 punish all such offences as the
one committed in New Orleans few weeks
ago. Moreover, Mr.. BLAINE says that the
National Government is poweriess in such
matters. Homicides are punishable only
by the State government. The wisdom
OF the fathers Of tho republic was
brought 10 bear upon this question,
and they decided to leave all do
nestle matters to the respective States.
A brief summary Of the true doctrine as to
the dual nature Of our Government may be
made by stating In general terms that
whilst the Federal Congress possesses no
powers not delegated TO 1t, the State ie-
gislatures possess all powers not denied to
them by the State constitutions or the
Federal Constitution. The Federal Gov
eminent exceeds its powers when 1t goes
further. Bearing this summary In mind
whilst we are considering the recent ir-
Irregularities in the administration of JUS
tice in New Orleans, we must see that the
National Government is powerless to pun
ish tho offenders against the State laws
whose crime, if crime it may be called. has
30 disturbed the Italian Government.
But If Mr.. HARRISON sees 80 clearly that
he has no right to put his finger into the
per nj New Orleans, how is it that he can
not see with equal clearness that the United
States Government has no right to be in
yestigating offences against the State laws
committed by white men upon negroes
Surely IL the United States Government
can exercise riehtfully and constitution
ally the powers which the quadrennial
platforms OF the Republican party call
upon it To exercise. il can rightfully and
constitutionally exercise the powers which
King HUMBERT and his representative call
upon the President of the United States to
exercise.
We need not argue this point. We raise
IL as means of causing our northern
brethren to ask themselves whether they
have not often done injustice TO the south
ern States in the matter of charging them
with lawlessness when they were only
standing upon their rights as members of q
confederacy Of united powers.
Before closing we will add that we do
not pretend TO claim that the case OF the
Italians al New Orleans runs on "all
foursn with tho alleged outrages CON-
mitted upon negroes in Mississippi and
elsewhere. Our object is simply to afford
TO our northern friends little food for
reflection which they may digest TO their
advantage.

OF the article referred 10 by Mr. Wood and
whether II was written frcn TINS place or
has seen such an item in the DfsPAToH re-
Gently. However, such an occurrence as
the writer speaks Of certainly took place
and the facts are rs follows:
TEE FACTS.
At Mt. Eagle, the farm OF Mr.. j.. p.
Browning, about eight miles from CHAR
lottesyilIe. and whose post-ofiice 10 Simeon,
Albemarle county, is large and commo-
iious residence situated on an eminence
overlooking tho Rivanna Tiser, and IN tho
wlndow-glass OF bis house can be seen the
phenomenon. The photographs were dis
covered many years ago by several little
negro children, who we're ct play IN the
yard. The family who rented the proper
ty at the time of the discovery were away
from home. One OF the children, looking
UP at one Of the windows, exclaimed
"LooK. rBERE Is MAN IN THE HoUsEl"
and reported his discovery to q neighbor,
who examined tho house. bnt failed TO ind
any one. The child chung TO It's statement
and took the neighbor TO the place from
where he saw the man, and sure enough
there was one, TO all appearances, PLAIN
enough; but IL proved 10 be the photo
graph OF mans head and shoulders; also,
one of the head and shoulders OF a woman
and child; also, in another pane OF glass,
the distinct outlines Of cat. These Pho.
togrsphs" are all in the windows facing
the river, and the theory advanced Is That
the persons (from their appearance) were
looking through the windows at the riyer
during storm and fash of lightning
photographed them indelibly on the glass.
The figures cannot be seen from the inside
of the house. but are distinctly discernaole
from the outside and can be seen to TINS
day. IL is not known who they are. These
are facts and can be vouched for by num-
Der OF prominent citizens OF Charlottesyiiie
and Albemsrle county.

SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLS.
The public schools have been very sue

the age Of ten years that cannot read and
write. The Graded school of this place
has for several years past been conducted
by II. p. Cosby as principal. On last Satur-
day he closed the winter session with very
interesting exercises. The large crowd
present showed the interest OF the people
for educational advancement. The pupils
entertained the audience for several hours
with beautiful plays and tableaux.
