aquiet old farmer or banker or very re-
tired business man here and there is
found, and of the whole lot not one is
quieter than George Schneider, presi-
dent of the National bank of Illinois.
This gray haired Chicagoan is soft

was revolutionist and soldier in Ger

in 1856 for "abolitionism. He was

age and Joined tho Young Germany"
movement of 1S47-S with Carl Schurz,
Dr. kinkel and many Others since noted.
After the defeat of the revolutionists he
escaped to France and thence to Amer
lea, became editor OF The Neue Zeit in
st. Louis, and was one of the most ac-
tive i'll that crusade which brought the
German exiles as body into the anti
slavery movement.
The German editors had two great adj
vantages-all their supporters had been
antislavery men at home, and the Ian
guage in which their papers were pub
hshed prevented any great attention be-
ing drawn to them by the violent men of
the other party. Nevertheless. the office
of The Neue Zeit was attacked in 1856.
Editor Schneider was an active man in
that famous meeting in Chicago, Jan. 90,
1854, which Instructed" Congressman
John Wentworth to fight the Nebraska
bill. The result was that the active
young Democrats of northern Illinois
nearly all became Republicans in 1876.
Mr.. Schneider was delegate at large
from Illinois to the Republican national
convention of 1856. and had much to do
in keeping "Knownothingism" out of
the platform; also in that of 1860. which
nominated Abraham Lincoln, who APP
pointed him consul general to Denmark
After the war he became a banker and
has prospered.

language singularly clear, but the at
tractive feature of his sermons, from an
artistic standpoint, is the rich imagery
drawn from prairie and border life. The
camp fire and the lonely trail, the mus

savage beasts and scarcely less savage
men, all come in as illustrations and
mingle strangely with Biblical sentences
and scenes. 10 his mind Sinai and the

Bible references to the former.

Colonel Lonsdale Hale, of the British
army, is of the opinion that one of the
effects of the many recent improvements
in small arms is TO increase the difficulty
of leading men. Smokeless powder, in
his opinion, will make minor acts Of sur
prise, partaEiag OF the nature Of ambus-
cades, more frequent. Colonel Hale also
thinks that in the future there will he
more intimate relations in action be-
tween the infantry and cavalry, the
latter of which win be employed in very
small bodies. The penetrative power Of
small arms has been increased to such
an extent of lite that all observations in
recent wars arc now practically useless,
and it will require actual fighting to
demonstrate their effectiveness.

There are at this moment in England
oS|ooo more marriageable women than

want them. Lady Henry Somerset, like
other observers who have spoken on the
subject. likes our system of free associa-
ZION between young men and women.
To protect and care for one of the
other sex is an art which this sympa-
thetlc critic thinks man cannot ac-
qulre too early. 1t makes the way to a
matrimonial proposal good deal easier
than a stubbornly conservative, social
convention has made it in England. 1t

why Many Women Take Cold.

Winter is the gay season, the season
of balls and dancing parties. and in
general, of prolonged amuseinents and
excitements. We need not say how
common it is for young ladies to attend
such gatherings imperfectly clad.
The excitement, physical aud mental,
extending to late hour of the night,
renders the surface of the body peculiar
ly susceptible to the outside chill; the
susceptibility is enhanced by the ex.
haustion, which at the same time lessons
the power of resistance
The danger is especially great in rural
districts, where many must ride long
distances to their homes through the icy
air. Tens Of thousands have in this
way laid the foundation of fatal disease.
