my letter. 1t was long epistle,
penned, as l supposed, by Charles Cor
nell's hand, though it came from his
mother and bore her signature. The
letter did me world of good, for every
line of it was fraught with love such as
q mother would express to an absent
daughter, and after reading it felt so
much less alone and friendless. 1t con-
tanned much good advice, too, given in
such delicate way as not to appear in
the least officious; and, besides, it bore
many expressions of motherly solicit
tude.
"Remember," it concluded, "that II
YOU ever stand in need of friends or a
home you have but to come to us.
Both my husband and son beg me to as
sure you that it would afford them the
greatest pleasure to be of service to
you. So, my dear, do not, out of false
modesty or pride, fail to avail yourself
of our assistance should you ever need
It,"
The letter came to- my lodging during
the day and it was after supper that I
tool: it to my room to read its contents.
/ was alone and did not hesitate to shed
tears of gratitude when l had perused
the pages and sat recalling the incidents
of my stay at the home of the Cornells.
! reviewed in detail all the events of
that happy week, dwelling fondly on
each kind word and act, and especially
fondly on those connected with Charles
Cornell.
My mind was so thoroughly taken up
with retrospective thoughts that ] be-
came completely oblivious to my sur
roundings, and for an hour l lived
apart from my physical being. i was
aroused at last by sharp knocking at
my door and standing up discovered
that the night had stolen in, and that
the room was quite dark save for a
faint streak of moonlight that was
falling in through the window. l sup
posed the knocking came from my
landlady, or some one else connected
with the house, and | went immediately
to the door; but started back in sur
prise when l saw who my visitor was,
and for minute stood gazing blanllly
before me, making no effort to utter a
word. My visitor noticed my surprise,
and, allowinghis feelings to relax into a
pleasant smile, said:
"Miss Owens, have startled you by
appearing so unexpectedly at your
home, but trust you will pardon me
for the liberty have taken in coming
unlimited and unannounced. The
thought just came to me an hour since
that ought to see whether you were
comfortably situated, and presuming on
our relationship made bold to come
and see you at home. l beg that you
will not consider my visit an intrusion

to speak and act connectedly. | did
not know what l ought to say or do,
and instead of becoming calm and col
lected, grew more and more confused
every moment. l did not invite my

A STRANGE VISIT.

According to promise wrote to Mrs.
Cornell as soon as was settled, giving
her cheering account of myself and
announcing with considerable pride
that was gaining my own support. I
spoke in my letter Of Mr.. Demands gen.
crosby and praised him highly, but
said little of his wife, knowing nothing
of pleasant nature to say and prefer
ring not to speak of her faults. did
not neglect to express my thanks for
the many kindnesses shown me by the
Cornells, and / begged the good old
lady to believe that was ever grateful
to her, as well as her husband and son,
for their generous consideration of one
who had no claim on them save the
common one of humanity.

THE FIGHT FOR LIFE.

Taras gave me his hand when we met
the next morning down stairs. l took
it in silence, being u%nprepared for this
form of greeting, which l had never be-
fore exchanged with any one, and which
now kindled an emotion in my breast
that threw all my ideas into confusion.
But before l let his warm palm leave

pose / had come TO in the night reaS-

"Here, I'm a-going to begin to-day in

with serious feeling in his deep eyes.

and pint out things, and I'll jist listen

Then, seeing by my troubled look,

There was pain in his face as be

"Nothin 'ticler."I replied with q Sigh

LONDON, November %, 1s93.-Lon-
don resembles Chicago in one respect,
for some OF its most beautiful districts
have been lifted out Of almost bottom
less marshes, and now proud and hand
some structures mark the site OF the
pclliwog's early home. At one time the
Thames ran straight from Lambeth 10
Limehouse, and between the river and
Lydenham and Greenwich TO the south
east shallow lagoons filed with canvas
back ducks covered the ground where
now unbroken rows OF brick and mortar
meet the eve.
The population Of London before the
great plague of l349 numbered 90, 900, Of
whom so, 900 were buried at Spitslcroft
as a result Of this awful harvest Of death.
Other ravages In 1861 and 1869 reduced
the population still farther, until in
1877 the number did not exceed 81, 1871.
Yet Manuel III referred to London ever
in 400 las to be preferred over
every city OF the west for population,
oDulence and luxury" So London 500
years ago was regarded as a western
city, and the star OF empire has been
moving at the rate Of over 1000 miles
per century ever since.
At the present time London is rough
ly estimated to contain about 5000, 600
inhabitants, and nav be said TO have
fully recovered from ths war with the
United States. In fact it is hardly
referred to now, and when l noticed
the fireworks for sale some weeks ago
to be used on Guy Fawkes' day, said to
my friend Slad en- Of the Idler. "Your
Fourth OF July is a little delayed this
year, is it note" He said: "0h, yes,
you c ele brate the Fourth of July in
America, don't you? We, on the con
trary, are trying TO forget it,"

That pretty little speech coming
from the lips Of an elegantly dressed
young lady and the friend Of Taras must
have given Kavanagh quite a shock,
and indeed, despite the s~elf-command
OF good breeding, a flash Of astonish-
ment did pass over his face.
Without waiting TO hear out his re-
joinder, / jerked myself into an upright
position, slowly walked out OF the room
and slammed the door to behind me.

the cover intention of picking a quar-
rel-of imparting TO him something Of
the vindictive misery | felt. Seeing my
condition. he made me sit down,
and having lit a pipe seated himself in
the chair opposite and chatted ABOUT
the friends who were gone, as though
it were the most natural thing In the
world to enter into genial conversation
at that hour.
Little by little he NJ up to my occu-
patton during the evening, and after
bringing me by my own confession TO
see how childishly selfish, weak and
inconsistency foolish my jealousy was
he drew tears Of regret and shame into
my eyes by a sympathetic word and
then inspired me with the consoling
hope that nv own self esteem would
save me from any renewal OF this hui
initiation. A second handkerchief,

myself, shows that l profted by this
lesson later on when the friends met
again. Indeed my temper was every
day growing more amenable to reason,

which my dear friend constantly
brought tt bear upon me.
A day spent in the beautiful country
beyond Working is chronicled 10 this

fresh revelation TO me, for with the ex-
ception Of my memorable wandering TO

EDITOR AGIrAroR = | have just
received a little book entitled,
"Reasons for Pardoning Fielder,
Nebee and Schwab," by John P.
Altgeld, governor of Illinois. 1t is
the most concise and scathing ar
raignment of a judicial murder ever
written. Probably because never
before was there such terrible out
rage perpetuated among a reading
and writing people. 1t is the duty
of every man having a particle of
self.respect, love of truth or sense
of Justice to get that book and read
it. 1t only costs 10 cents, and can
be had of the Chicago Sentinel.
But, | will say, with all the conf
dence of prophet, that John ?.
Altgeld will never be president OF
the United States, for all the powers
of hell, most of which is now locat-
ed in the United States, would be
against him. But, | do not agree
with the Governor that the bomb
was thrown by some one of the
many hundreds who had been brut-
ally dubbed and maltreated by the
Internal police as an act of revenge.
A man seeking revenge would have
thrown at least halfa-dozen bombs.
The authorities never tried to find
the man who threw the bomb, either
before or after the trial. Too we'll
they knew that the man who threw
the bomb was the man they hired to
throw it and he only threw one
because he was only hired to throw
one. And just as well they knew
that Officer Madden, whom they
employed to watch the fellow throw
the bomb and shut his wind off after
he threw the bomb, was found lock.

known" Why was he unknown ?
Simply because they did not, and
do not, want the people to know
who threw the bomb. They Ger
tainly knew who the Pinkerton
thug was that they hired in New
York to come to Chicago and help
them entrap the anarchists, which
they say cost them millions of dol
lars. Pshaw it is the pIainest trail
l ever followed If judicial MUIR
derers could be hung, | could find
the evidence to convict without
packing the jury ; but justice in
this country is not built that way.
Get that book and read it, and
see what will be your doom if you
buck against your masters.

he expresses dissatisfaction with
the result of the late election. He
then goes on as follows:
Now, Brother, do you know of
slaves freeing themselves or others !?
The slavery of to-day is quite diff
ferent from the slavery prior to the
emancipation proclamation. To day
it is quite diversiied-so much so
that seven-tenths are under the
worst slavish tyranny, and yet how
few are willing to admit it. There
is no doubt of the great truth that
capital is producing more suffering,
want and loss of homes than was
caused by the four years war in
freeing the blacks
Now, my good brother, you as
sumo that you are trying to educate
the masses. How are you doing it !
By holding the veil OF superstition
before their mental vision. You
know that slaves or towards
are not the leaders in any great ev-
Olution and where has there been
any greater one than is going on in
the minds of the people at the pres
ent time The flaw Pm picking with
Brother Champe is on some ancient
silly words he has been using lately
to entertain and amuse his readers
! refer to the words "hell" and
"devil'. To impress his readers
with such quotations ] do think is
not becoming an editor who claims
to be lifting the masses from igno-
rance and superstition. A self
independent man or woman who has
freed himself or herself from all
bigotry don't approve of "a two
sided education. No coward is
ever known to become free person.
The worse than useless words, "helP'
and devil" have destroyed, in all
manner of tortures, tens of millions,
and until men and women become
independent thinkers, it is more
than useless to think the masses
will throw off the yoke Of slavery,
bondage and persecution. The same
power they are aiding, assisting and
perpetuating is the endless chain
that holds them down. They can't
and won't stop to think that King
Capital has always used many de-
vices to enslave the masses The
serpent charms its victim before it
swallows its prey.
Brother Cbampe, the moral of the
above can be easily seen. III 1t sets,

David Overmeyer, in his late
TRADE against woman suffrage, said,
Woman's sphere is the realm of
love-" So it is; but, alas and
alas how many of them have had
that realm invaded by the serpent,
and the man she expected to LOVE
and honor all the days of her life is
nothing but debauchee, with all
sense of manhood gone, all honor
gone, aud it is impossible to love
where you can't respect. Isn't it
natural that such a woman should
ask for the power to protect herself!
She has no one else to protect her.

With its victory and strife,
For the darkness and the light along way ;
For the triumph and defeat
For the thorns that pierce our feet,

For the lesson of our crosses,
For the sacred ministry OF pain
For the hope and the desire
That lift our footsteps higher

For the burden of cares,
Bighted hopes and answered prayers
For spirit growth and bodily decay
For idols that shattered
Hoarded treasures that scattered
Thanks to-day.
For the evils turned aside,
For the blessings that abide,
For the dawning of brighter better day,

And deaths sublime transition
