Tho farmers daughters are soon to be

Il glorious race of women which no other
land can show. | seek not to fatter them
for before they can become this, they will
have 10 make an earnest effort for one or
two things. There are some who de-
preciate their condition, and some who
have false pride in it, because they de-
mand more consideration than they merit.

of the day and OF refined education is no
more excusable in country than in
town bred GIRL in these days Of many
books and newspapers.


MANY girls are discouraged because
they cannot be sent away from home TO
boarding schools; but men of superior
minds and knowledge of the world, would
rather have for wives women well and
properly educated at home. And this
education can be had whenever the de-
sire is not wanting. a taste for reading
does wonders and an earnest thirst alter
knowledge is almost certain TO attain a
sweet draught from the 'Picrian sprin gs.

education under difficulties which would

THINK BEFORE YOU Buy. Do you real
ly need the article? 1t is probable a
pretty dress or some piece of furniture,
but what solid benefit will il be to you?
Or is it some luxury for the table that
you can rs well do without. Think, there
fore, before you spend your money. Or,
need n new carpet, new couch, new chairs
or new dress; you are tempted to buy
something little handsomer than you at
first intended; and while you hesitate,
the dealer says to you; "Tis only trifle
more, and sec how far prcttier it s.' But
before you purchase stop to think. Will
you be better Il year hence, especially in
old age, for having squandered your
money? Is it not wiser TO lay by some
thing for rainy day? All these luXu-
ries will crafty you only for a moment.
You sorn tire of them, and their ownper-
manent effect is to consume your means.
1t is by such little extravagances-not
much separately. but ruinous in the aggre-
gate-that the great majority of families
are kept comparatively poor. The first
lesson is to deny yoursolfnseless expenses
and the first step toward learning this
lesson is to think before you spend.

M. THEIRS has his say regarding the recent
armistice negotiations with Bismarck. He
claimed the revictualling of Paris for at least
the time the armistice might be pending, as
he held that otherwise starvation would 60 on,
and at the close of the armistice the Prus-
SLAMS would have advanced by so much in
the prosecution of the war and the French
would have retrograded. In other words
Prussia would continue the war by starving
Paris, and France alone be debarred from
striking blow in return. All this is clear
enough and SO is Count Bismarck's statement
on the other side; but the statements Of both
are Of little Importance now except as they
show that Paris is In dread Of starvation and
that Prussia looks to 1t as her most effective
weapon.

Scarcely month passes over without the car
drivers on some of the many street railroads
having strike. Often these strikes last for
days. occasionally for weeks, causing consider
able trouble and inconvenience to persons
who use that particular line on which the strike
occurs as means of transfer from one part of
the city to another. The cause of these
strikes has not yet been very satisfactorily set
tied. The car drivers have their story to tell
as well as the officers of the company. One
party has complaint Of unjust treatment and
the other Of arbitrary dictation. These state
ments or charges are made upon the most
reliable authority on both sides. Be the mat
ter as it may, the public are interested in these
troubles to some extent, and it would be well
to know at whose door to lay the blame for the
inconvenience the citizens are compelled to
bear during the existence Of these disturbances.
The Belt Railroad drivers have now been on
strike for some days. When the trouble will
be ended we cannot say, but the sooner the
better. In view of the disturbance which took
place yesterday it is not very consoling to any
one accustomed to travel by that line to know
that, although the driver is guarded by brace
Of policemen, q passengers head stands in
danger Of coming In contact with paving
stone intended for the driver; and then the
uncertainty Of reaching the proper destination
is another consideration not to be overlooked.
So long as the drivers are compelled to work
the long hours they do at present-numbering
in many instances, sixteen hours out Of the
twenty y-four-we are inclined to think that
there will be no abatement Of these nuisances
Of strikes on our city railroads.

And so, for distance ofabout three
hundred miles, lying partly in Kansas,
partly in Nebraska, and partly in the

it, to railroad corporations. And this
leads me to observe that you must not
suppose that because all the land grab
bing bills that passed the Senate did
not go through the House, therefore
they are dead. In view of the ap-

fearful of the people, the House laid

And now, in conclusion, my fellow
Democrats, let me exhort you to do
your whole duty. You have as great
stake in this land as any other equal
number of men. What benefits the
Republic will benefit you-what in
juries it will as surely injure you. Up
on the prepetuity of free institutions
and existence of good government, de-
pend the happiness of yourselves and
your posterity. Democratic principles
have achieved glorious past for our
country, and will work out an equally
glorious future if they he preserved in
their vigor and purity. Let us all,
then, resolve that they shall not fail for,
want of our support, that they shall
suffer no dishonor from our hands.

Mr.. DsraeIi's book, ''Lothar' is again
noticed, and the stealthy political and party
effort which is just now being made to revive
the spirit Of religious feud in England still
further unveiled. The anmus of the author
and of his Parliamentary adherents and advis-
ers in this direction were almost certain to fail,
however, particularly after the open and
pointed declaration OF the Prince of Wales to
the effect that in the matter of religious tole-
ration and freedom of worship the English
people should initiate the American practice.

creditable both to the tone of mind and per-

Too MUoH INsANITY.-The city has been
aroused by fresh deed Of blood. Broad
well bids fair to become second McFar-
land. IF the unfortunate woman whom he
calls his wife dies Of the wound she
has received from her husbands hand there
can be no doubt that an attempt will be made
to save his life on the ground that he was in
sane when he committed the fatal act. There
are many who will regard this outrage as the
first fruit of the Mcfarland acquittal. We
cannot wholly agree with them; but neither
can we say they are wholly wrong. We do
not as yet know the merits Of the case. But
whatever shape this case may ultimately
assume we must protest against this insanity
cry. We must also protest against the idea
that man is master of his wife, as the
Southern planter was wont to be Of his slave
that he can starve her and strike her and in a
thousand ways make her life miserable, and
that when she fees from him in despair he can
then follow and shoot her with impunity. We
have had already too much insanity. We
must now have some justice.
