REFORM. The third lecture and entertain
ment of the Allen Mission course takes place
at City Hall this evening. Prof. o. P. Sweet
lectures on Reform. Mr.. Sweet has been for
many years an actor, and his dramatic talent
stands him in good play on the lecture plat
form. At the conclusion of the lecture Mr..
Sweet, assisted by his wife and son, the latter
of whom is only five years old, will give the
thrilling sketch entitledHA life history, or the
danger of being good singer" The enter
tainment will be of no ordinary character, and
all who wish to encourage the temperance cause
and assist one of our most worthy charities
ought to be present. We hope to see the spa,

1t was decided in the affirmative, 118 to so.


Substitutes were suggested by Messrs. Sar-
tee, but Mr.. Spear declined to allow any to be
offered. He proposed to yield half of his hour
to the gentlemen affected by the resolution.


Mr.. Kelley said he asked the House only to
be true to its own honor and the rights of each
member. He had no witness before the select
committee. 1t had not been intimated to him
that he might have witness or that he might
be heard on his own behalf other than the
brief examination made by his counsel or by
himself. He asked, therefore, that his col
leage, Speer, who, in the last five minutes of
the morning debate, had connected his name
with the matter without his tKelley's) having
an opportunity to reply, should bo permitted to
make his speech and present his arrangement
so that having heard whereof he was accused
and the grounds ON which the accusation rested
he might have poor privilege OF saying why
the sentence should not be passed upon him as
he had not the right of being heard before the
committee by witness and counsel.


Mr.. Speer then yielded 15 minutes to Mr.
Butler of Mass, who said that as the poisoned
chalice would be so soon commended to the
lips of the House which had allowed itself to be
misled, he wanted to see whether there were
not on the other side of the House, men who
could DC lashed. If the House was going into
this method OF purgation and publication "a
doctrine which he scorned and desrised as he
almost did its author,) where were they to
stop! There were men in the House who
twenty years ago We're arrested and tried for
crime. By adopting this course the House
would be taking away great palladium Of civil
liberty, the right of trial by jury. He call
ed upon the House to pause. He had voted for
consideration of the resolution just as he had
voted to refer testimony in the case of the
Vice President, to the Judiciary Committee,
but he proposed to have this resolution referred
to committee, not to the same special COM
mittee, for he had not much respect for it,


Mr.. Speer said he was no. insensible to the
gravity of the hour and the occasion, but he
had duty to perform higher than personal
friendship, higher than regard for personal
feeling, aud he rose to perform that duty. re-

Merchants might fnd it to their inter.
ests to deal with the Oranges on the
wholesale plan. The following bylaws
of Yellow River Grange, are to meet such
an occurrence:


"Any member that shall divulge to any
person, not Patron, any proposition
made to Oranges by any person engaged IN
business at trade, shall be suspended fol
definite or indefinite period, or time, as
decided by majority of the Grange, and
if recidivous. expelled from the Grange


ANY member that shall divnlge toany
person, not Patron. the terms of trade
contracted by Oranges with any person
engaged in business or trade, shall he sus-
! ended for definite or indefinite period
as decided by majority of the Grange
and if recidivous expelled from the
Grange"


As these bylaws will be submitted
to the newly organized Oranges, and
without doubt, adopted by them, those il
may interest may govern themselves ac
cordirgly


There is false impression among some
of the merchants that the Patrons con
template the opening of store of theil
own. Newly organized Oranges have
enough important business of the frs
order requiring all their attention and Ell
ergy, and will not take into consideration
such a secondary question.


Patrons are, and wish to stay the
friends of the merchants.

all that he owns, yet would remorse-

There's many woman who would

There's many a man who would

who will do the same.


There's many a person who does

There's many person who would

There's many person who tries to

There's many person who aims

matters of each day, has no honor at

By WIZ. CULLEN BRYANT.
How shall know thee in the sphere which keeps
The disembodied spirits of the dead,
When all of thee that time could wither sleeps,
And perishes among the dust we tread?
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain 2
If there meet thy gentle presence not,
Nor hear the voice love, nor read again


In thy serenest eyes the tender thought. p
Win not thy own meek heart demand me there
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were given
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
And wilt thou never utter it in Heaven? --..
The love that lived through all the stormy past,
And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer, to the last,
Shall it expire with life, and be no more?
A happier lot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there, for thou hast bowed thy viii,
In cheerful homage to the rule of right, @ O.
And lowest al, and renderest good for i'll.
Yet, though thou wear'st the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair, thoughtful brow, and gentle eye.
Lovelier in Heavens sweet cline, and yet the


same?


Shalt thou not teach me, in that calmer home,
The wisdom that learnt so i'll in this
The wisdom which is love-tin become
Thy fit companion in the land of bliss?

Besides Mr.. Plester, I know sever

who have sold out preparatory to
leaving the country, and others who
will leave, at whatever sacrifice, un-

Something must be done, and that

An armed troop ought to fall on
the cowardly villains like a thunder
bolt. Fifty men of nerve, citizens of
Kentucky, could wipe them out in a

soldiery, and at less cost to the State,
both in money and in reputation.
But if our laws are so restrictive that
we must call on the General Govern
ment to save our throats from the
knife, and our bare backs from the
lash, then, in Gods name, let them
come at once.


HOW THEY DRESS AND WHERE THEY MEET.


On a raid the X. K. dresses in a
long calico gown, with mask of
cloth drawn over the face, leaving an
opening for each eye and the mouth.
They now call their order 'the Know
Nothing party" and when on the wit
ness stand they are sworn to know
nothing. For instance, John Smith
joins by the name of Richard Roe,
and in the lodge, or on raids, is
known only by that name.


Of course, though the witness be
known to the court as a Ku-Klux, he
can swear (John Smith being on
trial) that 'tno such name is on the
roll" The last copy of the Owen
News (the 2Oth) calls earnestly, as
that paper has done time and again,
for protection, and details the doings
of squad which visited Owentown a
night or two before.

None but the teacher realizes the
beneficial effects of frequent visits
from parents and guardians to the
school. They stimulate the teacher
to greater efforts and encourage
pupils to more diligence. Nothing
helps more to make children take an

persuaded that their parents take
deep interest in their progress. Do
not go to school especially on Friday,
but go any day you can get an hour

school officers can do much, but they
cannot perform the duty you indi-
yidually owe your children and your
