Otte Allen has at last solved the problem with which the human race nas been struggling for six thousand fetife; "Wha t is Life." Mr. Alkm sayrf: "Life is merely one par t icular set of Correlated movements occurring nndW the influence of solar radiation in a certain peculiar group of materal bodies on the surface of one small and uuimportat planet in a minor solar system; hidden away on the skirts of a galaxy in some lost corner of a bound­less oosmos." He has evidently been fooling with some cipher or other.

The "new theology" isn't so ver) new after all. / I n 1783 the Ref. Robert Breek, pastor of the First church of Springfield, said: "What will become ©f the heathen who never heard of the g o s p e l / I do not protend to say; but I cannot but indulge a hope that God in his boundless benevolence'will hnd out a/way whereby those heathens who act op to the light they have may be saved." Mr. Beck was called to task for the utterance but nothing camo of it, and he occupied the Snringfiel pulpit for half a eentury.

Lord Stair was just a little puzzled as t# now he should proceed; he was quite determined to see her -the end, he de ­clared to himself, justified the means. He was miserable, his daughter uncom­fortable; a wretched sense of mystery end perplexity hung over them all, and II oooid only be relieved by the identifi­cation of this woman.

He nad a long interview with the

Swernor, Captain Mayne; he told him at his sole idea was to identify the

woman, and the governor agreed with the lawyer, that as the prisoner had declined to see him, his only resource was to have a glimpse of her as he pasted down the prison corridor, as he could see her through the grat ing of tho oeli door •'

He consented to it at last, and that Ju ly afternoon, while the sun shone over the land and the world rejoiced in OMsfo and fragrance, he went along the gloomy corridors that led to tho oeli of No. 14. Tho matron was with him and the governor. He had taken with him the two lockets; he hardly knew why; he had taken with him the letter writ ten so long ago, in which his wife Marguerite, Lady Stair, bad bidden him farewell.

The matron came behind him and silently opened the small slide through which one could see the cell and its occupant. She stood silent for one half moment, them moved aside gently, with a look on her face as though she had seen something that was pleasing and beautiful.

Slowly she made way for him. Lord Stair could never, in after days, explain or express the curious sensation that oame over him as he took her place. A figure, seated where the light from the small window fell upon her, a woman's figure that, in spite of the stiff prison dress, was full of gracious lines and curves. He watchea it for some min­utes with dazed eyes; there was no sound; the governor had turned away; the matron was watching him intently as he watched her. Slowly, with soft sweet grace, the woman rose. She turned from the window to the table. Then it seemed to h ;m that he must have suddenly gone mad, for out of the shadow -the" soft luminous s h a d o w -he saw clearly and distinctly, advancing oward him, his wife Marguerite Stair.

There was the beautiful face, the soft rings of golden hair, the eyes like wet violets, there was the beautiful mouth, with its sweet curves. For one moment Lord Stair thought he had gone mad.

His wife—she was unconscious of his rresence and stood looking*, at some work that she held in her hands.

Marguerite Nairne, fair almost as when he had first seen her in the garden of Inisfail, but with such sadness in her face and eyes as he had never seen

He tried to cry out, but his lips were closed and dumb; they had grown white and cold; he could not open them.

It was Marguerite Nairne ' Why should tho memory of the scene in the garden at 'nisfail come back to him?— why should the symphony of Bach's seem to ring through his heart and brain; he could almost feel the light touch of the acacia leaves as 1hey fell; he co"ld hear his own voice saying.

" I will take the risk of your happi­ness and your life I will answer to Heaven for them." '" That was what he had said- those wero tho words he hail registered in Heaven, and the words that stood there against him even then.

Tha t was his promise —this the fulfill merit. He would take the whole re­sponsibility of her life and happiness-, she was here in a prison '> ell.

He would have laughed aloud at his madness if those white locked lips of his could have opened. His wife Mar­guerite was dead: he h a d s e ' n her lying dead in that ghastly room at Cliffe Station; he had followed her to her last resting-place jn the family vault at Cliffe "

Who. then, in/Heaven 's name, was this woman with his lost wife's fair face and eyes? /

CHAPTER LIIT. •YOU ARE MAIKiUEKITE STAIR." f

The next moment there came before his eyeg the marble tablet raised to her memoty in Cliffe Church. • 'Sacred to the memory of Marguerite Lady Stair ." Yet here—if there was truth in the noonday sun—here was the face of his wife, the face that he believed had long been buried from the sight of man.

He was so completely bewildered, so utterly dazed, that he could hardly form a thought Jus t then the beautiful face was raised to the window, as though somewhat impatiently seeking more light, and then when the light fell more fatly upon it, and every sweet line was plainly shown, he knew no matter who lay buried in the vaults at Cliffe, that this was Marguerite Stair. He tried to ut ter the name Marguerite; he tried to cry out, but his lips were still locked and dumb; after a time the paralysis left him, and he turned to the door. He went up to the matron, who looked in wonder at his pale face

>'ou must open that door ," he said; " this woman there is one risen from the dead ."

The matron in a quiet voice spoke to the governor, who came to Lord Stair.

'•Have you identified he r?" he asked. " Y P S , " was the reply, "she is a wom­

an risen from the dead . " Captain Mayne looked at him, half

thinking he must be mad. " I tell you ," cried Lord Stair, " that

you must open the door, that I must see her, must speak to her. If the sun shines in the skies if there be truth in Heaven, if I am not mad but sane and well, the woman shut up as a thief

and a prisoner there is my wife. M a r ­guerite Stair; my wife whom I believed I saw dead more than seventeen years a g o " <

• I t is impossible," cried the matron. " I t is t r u e , " repeated Lord Stair,

"open that door; I must see her - m u s t speak to her a lone."

The matron looked at the governor as though silently asking what she should do.

"Under the circumstances," said Captain Mayne, " i t will bo best to do as Lord Stair wishes. Open the door ."

" I am sure it is right." he cried ea­gerly. "You can see there ia some great mistake, some terrible mystery. My wife has been dead >nore than sev­enteen years—yet she lives there. If there should be any informality, never mind; 1 will mako it all right. Open the door and let me go in a lone ."

Both the governor and n atron were too surprised to offer any ress tance ; they were accustomed to every kind of eccentricity, but a woman said to be risin from the dead was certainly a novelty to them.

Lord Stair watched like a man in a dream while the door was slowly open­ed. He went in alone, tho governor and the matron both drew back. He closed the door. No human eyes should look on that scene if this woman were really his wife Marguerite Stair.

She was sitting with her back to the door, and her face to the window, the better to catch the light for her work. It was a strange coincidence that the sur , which had not until this moment reached the window of the cell, should, at this very instant, suddenly shine full upon it, and send a golden light upon the bare walls, for, blessed be the good­ness of Heaven, the sun shines every­where. Neither workhouse gates nor prison bars can shut him out.

He went up to her. Only Heaven knew the agitation, the emotion, the passion of pain and suspense that tore his heart—only Heaven knew

"Marguer i te ," he said, slowly. He saw the sudden tension of her figure, the sudden shudder. "Marguer i te , " he repeated, "for Heaven's sake rise, and let me see if it be you . "

He never forgot the cry of despair that camo from her lips I t was not of ioy at his cominjr, at his recoznition of her; it was a cry of unutterable despair. She rose as he rereated^her name, the work dropped from <Fier n e r e l e s s hands. She stood quite-still; then, with another most bitter cry. she buried her face in her hands.

"Marguer i te ," he repeated, "you are in very deed, and truth my Wife, whom all these years I have mourned as dead."

"No , n o . " she cried; " l a m - " But he interrupted her with passion­

ate eagerness. "You are my wife—you are Mar­

guerite; it is useless to deny ft .--4 know your voice your face. I have seen you watched you. I know you. Ob> ray Marguerite why Vol find you here? What is this mystery? Why are you here? I wonder that the iirst shock of seeing you did not kill m e . "

She did not answer or stir. He went nearer to her. He tried to draw her hands from her face.

' Marguerite, let me see you. It is useless to struggle with me. I will see you—I will speak to you—I will under­stand this my»tery."

Slowly he drew her hands away. It was useless to contend with him," or to make any further effort. He had found her.

"Marguer i te ," he cried; " the same, yet how changed. Oh, Marguerite, my love!"

"Marguer i te ," he said slowly, "put me out of this pain and torture of sus­pense. Tell me that I am not carried away by any delusion-• that T am not mad—that I am not cruelly deceived by a likeness -to—the-only woman -I—have ever loved in my life. Tell me —speak to me--sure ly to Heaven I have suffered enough. Are you Marguerite Nairne whom I wooed and won at Tnisfail? Are you the wife who made the sun­shine of my home— the mother of ma child tho fair sweet woman for whom I ha-e mourned all my life? Speak to me, tell m e . "

He will ncre.r forget how she stood up before him. the faint sunlight falling over her, wringing her hands with a gesture of almost sublime despair as she answered him.

' I am that most unhappy of women, Marguerite Stair ," she said slowly.

His face Hushed; a strange light came into his eyes.

"You can say that calmly,W he cried. "Oh, Marguerite how cruel you have been to me You have left me all these years, left me without hope or comfort left me to think you dead; you have darkened eighteen years of my life, and for what 9 Answer me that question if you can, for wha t?"

" I can easily answer i t , " she replied. " I was driven from home, and I would rather have suffered d ath a thousand times than have been d ra /ged , as you would have dragged me, through the horrors of the divorce court ."

"Why do you suppose tha t T would have done tha t?" he asked, angrily.

"Lady Perth told me that you Would do so , " she replied.

•And you hftliflVrd hnr, Marguorito? There was infinite tenderness" and infi­nite reproach in his voice. "You be­lieved that of me?"

" I never doubted what she sa id ," was the low reply.

"My Marguerite, you could not think that 1 was really jealous, jealous of rmorDarcy? Never! I was glad that he was there; he was a fitting compan­ion for you ."

"And you," she replied, "never stopped to think whether it was well that 1 should have so fitting a compan­ion ."

" I did no t , " he replied; "I confi-ss honestly my faults. I have never loved

anyone but you; I loved yOu, with a deep, earnest passionate love. I was the happiest man on earth when I had won you, bur I did wrong in allowing Ladv Perth to live with us, and did a greater wrong still in shutting myself up and allowing myself to become ab­sorbed in my books, in my studies. I have felt inclined since then to curse the tastes and habits that led me fo seem to neglect you; mind. Marguerite, it was but seeming; in my heart I loved you just as much as when I first saw y o u a t l n i s f a l « trusted Parcy Este, and I trusted you no jealousy ever dawned across me. Do you believe th is?"

••Iraust, since you say so , " she re­plied.

"To th ink tha t anything so monstrous should be said," he cr ied—"that you should believe anything so monstrous its that I, who loved and honored you above all women, should ever dream of the divorce court. Oh. Marguerite, how coh'ly and cruelly you misjudge^ me. Wha t reason did you think I hadP Surely you were not foolish enough to think that I should divorce you because you kissed Darcv Este when you bade him farewell? You might have known me better—you rai^ht have trusted me more. Was it really because you wero afraid of the divorce court that you left me, Marguer i te?"

4 It was t ha t , " and she added in a low voice, " I think I was m a d . "

•'! think you were indeed." he replied gravely. • Why did you not wait at least until I returned home - until I had spoken to you, until you knew what 1 intended, or thought or wished? Why take Lady Perth's words for gospel vuthP How cruel you have been t o m e . "

"Ho you realize," he continued, "all that I have suffered? When I reached home and found you gone, I went mad with my own misery. My house has been like a grave to me ever since. 1 read the letter you left for mo—see, it is here now. The paper is worn, tho ink faded but the words burn my eyes when I see them, just as they did years ago "

Once more she sees the letter, wri t ­ten in such fatal haste that December evening. He holds it b"fore her, and the sunlight falls on it. Once more she reads the words that cut her adrift from him.

" I own that I should have waited to see you ," she said; "bu t I believed Lady Perth, and I was mad with my own misery. I had but one thought, and it was to escape before I fell into your power ." ^

" I t must, in some measure, have been my faul t ," he said slowly. "If I had thought less of my books and more of you, it would not have happened. Mar guerite, will you tell me your own story? Tell me all tha t happened to you from the hour you left home until this hour in which I find you here ."

He listened in silence, and when she haU ended he said to her;

"Yen* are a noble woman, Marguerite I never knew how noble until now."

CHAPTER LTV. Ho knew the whole story now in all

its sad details, the cruel treachery of Lady Perth, the madness of misery into which his beautiful young wife had been^ plunged; he understood all she had felt and sacriticed in all >wing herself to be thought dead—her generosity in prefer­r ing imprisonment ra ther than bring the least shadow on her daughter 's life.

"You are a noble woman, Marguer-, i te ," he repeated; then he drew her nearer to him; he took off tho prison cap and flung it on the gr und; he ca ressed with loving hands the rings of golden curls.

"My Marguerite!" he cried, passion­ately. "You look as youn.r and beau­tiful as when I first saw you in the gafden at Inisfail. Oh, love-t—if—we-couldSonly live our lives over again all would be so different. Oh, love! will you forgive mc—will you let the past be blotted out— wilkvou take it iis it is — will you let me begin 4i(e again with you and let me atone to "v<m for the p a s t ? " * " -.,

For all answer she laid her arms round his neck and kissed him. A great light came over Lord Stair 's face,- and in that moment the past was forgotten, and the new life began.

To Lord Stair the darkest part of the whole business was that he could not take his wife away with him. The usual routine had to be gone through; the whole matter had to be laid before the authorities and in due course of time Lady Stair was released.

* * * * •- nr

Not at once did Lord Stair tell the story to his daughter; she did not know it for sume raonhs. He evaded all her inquiries about Mrs. Grey, and told her that in time the whole mystery would be solved for her.

He did the wisest thing under the circumstances; he went abroad and took his beautiful wife with the summer time, he returned with her" to Oakcliffe. The time had come/in which he thought it wise to tell his daughter the story

Wha t she felt, what she thought, could never be told. She wa/d i s t rac t -ed between love, admiration and t egret. A hundred times each day she would

to it Darey Este was dead and forgot-t e n - t b e brief story of his love was never told Even when Lady Stair toid ©very deta 1 of her life to b e r d a u g h t e r she d* elt lightly on that. The wonder of it died away, a* all wonders die; only the happiness remained.

i t was the most beautiful sight in the world to see mother and daughter, the two faces both so lovely, yet so differ­ent Lady Stair so fair aud sweet, the duchess with all the dark, bright loveli­ness of t^e Stairs; they i ever tirod of each other, and the duchess would proclaim triumphantly how true her instinct had been.

"My hear t went out to you, mother, she would say. "when 1 saw you look­ing at the bluebells through the ga te s . "

it was bcauti 'ul to see the great love between' the two. The sensation of the event was when the Marchioness of Holte heard what had happened, and we- t over to Oakcliffe to see if it were true. The meeting between the m a r ­chioness and Lady Stair was a scene never to be forgotten.

The day came, also, when Lord Stair fave baoK to mother and daughter the Fockets, set in diamonds, which had belonged to them, and as the sunbeams flashed once more in the brilliant gems, mother an < child kissed each other.

The most touching scene was when Lord Stair took his wife to Inisfail, where Cyril Nairne, grown old and feeble, still lived. They could never make him understand who she was: he thought it was his own wife come back from Paradise to fetch him. They all made much of him, loved and esteemed him. but he had forgotten everything except the songs of Paradise. He loved the duchess—the third Daisy he had called her o n c e - b u t he was always p /.zled as to who she was, he could never quite understand.

"Duchess E the l , " he called her; and he would say to her "Sing Dai ly 's song to m e , " and she would sing to him of the beautiiui Paradise, where the many find rest; of whuh hisfavoritp lines are these:

«'0 Paradise! 0 Paradise! I fe«l 'twill not be long;

Patience: 1 almost think I hear Sweet fragments or thy song."

tat* of several buildings. A fire start­ed aatly one Monday morning in a ataatt in which the painters had tJUrown their overalls, these garments Wing presumably loaded with linseed Oil and turpentine. This caused the Ojeatruction of a fine block cf buildings. In 1861,'there was a great fir* in Liver-.pooi, caused by the burning ot wet cot­ton* The two English ships, Itnogene an4Talavera were burned by a spon­taneous combustion of the oakum and tow used m wiping the greasy machin­ery.

fctpenraents have been made, and it ia found that cotton waste, wet in boiled linseed oil, placed where it was warm, took fire in one hour and a quarter. Haw linseed oil on cotton required four or five hours; olive oil, ail hours; and castor oil, two days. Lard oil with the cotton produces igni­tion in tour hours; seal oil, in or, he i r and twenty minutes; and spirm oil mixed with petroleum did not fire in two days. The mineral oils are not liable to aid in spontaneous combus­tion.

There are other causes of spontan­eous combustion. Hay and^rain pil^d into stacks while damp or partially cured, generate heat enough to caus-e combustion. Some of the supposed in­cendiary fires, by which barns have been burned, hare been traced to this cause. A quantity of oat* stored in a barn had been consumed by fir*, and the proprietor suspected incendiaries. But several things pointed to the con­clusion that it was spontaneous com­bustion. Some of the sheaves that had been removed the day previous were charred, the center was burnt and blackened, while the outside ot th^ sheaves retained tbeir natural color.

A large establishment for the manu­facture of machinery was fired from a heap of iron turnings, greasy cotton cleaning waste being intermixed. It is not necessary, however, to have the greasy cotton waste, in order to pro­duce fire from a heap o.f iron turnings, clippings and filinas. The mass ol fine iron and its oil are enough to in­cite heat and combustion. And e;ir*-fnl observers can sometiiu-js sea, in the dark shivers of flame over a heap of iron drillings, chips, shavings and fil­ings, adjacent.to machine shop-;. As far back as 1780, a Russian naval ves­sel took fire and caused many super­stitious surmises, The fire was traced to a package of" matting containing lampblack made trom the smoke of fir and hftmp oil varnish. An experiment was made and it was found that a parcel of this mixture ot lampblack and oil took fire within seventeen hours. The disastrous conflagration which destroyed in a lew minutes thf buildings ot the great Pittsburg Ex­position, with all their contents, was

--explained by allieory which is, to say

'to flV* subject has received more or discussion since our mysterious and we here give a few observa-frona t i e pen ot It. Eaton in The

veoo'olix'sCompanion: Fire wilt break

the least, very plausible. It seems that Mr. Warner, the aeronaut, spent the d,y before the fire in re-Viirmshingthe canvas of his baloon with linseed oil. He worked in the boiler room, and after the varnishing was completed the balloon nas rolled up and put to dty. A more reckless operation it would be difficult to conceive, The only thing that could have made the canvas more certain to taKe fire, would have been to sprinkle it with water before roll-it up, but this is by no means essential.

Richard Reid, of this village, was fouud dead in his bed Saturday morn­ing about eight o'clock, aged 73 years. Mr. Reid was not feeling very well Friday night and his daughter Mary fixed him some hot tea and he retired about th« usual time. Justice D. C. Carr impaneled a coroner's jury con­sisting ot Messrs, F. D. Parker, W. 13. Gale, G. D. Hamilton, C. H. Hopkins, 8. Durfee and S, S. Abbott, who re turned a verdict of death from chronic rheumatism resulting in heart disease. The post mortem examination" held tended to show that he must have died sometime during the early part of the night. Mr. fteid was born in Ireland, of Scotch parents, June 14, 1814, came to this country 16 years ago, where he ha» since resided. A letter from the physician in charge of the asylum at Pontiac says that the condition of Mrs. Reid, who was taken there a few weeks ago, is greatly improved. He was the father of seven children, one dying in

opinion from the Attorney General, Judge Harriman, George 3. Wheeler and August Lode man, the man appoint­ed by Judge Harriman a few days ago, in place of E. C. Warner of Ypsilanti, resigned, in order that he (Warner) might be eligible to the position of Secretary, thus giving Judge Harri­man in realiiy two votes and power of naming the Secretary, thought it pru­dent to meet and designate(?) the Sec­retary in the person of E. C, Warner of Ypsilanti.

There is much dissatisfaction we understand throughout the county in consiquence of this procedure, espec­ially because when Mr. Warner resign­ed, Judge Harriman saw fit to take it upon himself to appoint a man just 16 days before the new law came into ex­istence, a man whom he deemed, through his appointment, better enti­tled to the office than one who was duly e ected by the townships of thejjounty on the 1st Tuesday in August. In Ionia, Ingham and other counties which we might mention, a member of the board was elected as in Washtenaw, and holds his office for a terra of three years as is provided by law. In none of the above named counties did the Judge of Probate grasp at the oppor­tunity of making an appointment, al­though similar vacancies existed, just a fortnight before the selecting of Sec­retary. VVashtenaw may be an excep­tion and subject to different law, when taken in connection with otber coun­ties in the state, although it was the m-tentof the Legislature to-have this oper­ate alike throughout the state. We wonder at th« inconsistency of the Judge's position. It must be that our patrician Judge wants to pluck a tew laurels from the J udicial brow of Min­erva, by his interpretation of the law,

Tho Sub-Treusury l tobhsd. Henry M. Jacksen, cashier of tha sub-

The matter has been kept very oulet by Treasurer Canda, al­though it is understood that he has pur­sued inquiries sufficiently to assure him­self tha t Jackson is in Toronto. Mr. Cauda is, under the law, responsible for the amount of the defalcation.

I t has been many years since there has been a dollar lost in the sub-treasury be­fore this occurrence. The sub-treasury methods are such as to make it apparent ly very difficult to steal. No clerk could, it was supposed, enter any of the vaults alone. Jackson must have evaded this rule in souie manner. The combinations of the locks are known only to two or three men, and the vaults have two doors which must be opeued by different clerks. Tho books are supposed to be made up to the last cent every night, and though millions are deposited in tha sub-treasury, and many thousands paid over its counter eve­ry day, there have, as said, been no losses for many years unt i l now.

[Circular No, LJ To the rank and file of the order of the

Knights of Labor: Tadigisnf at the usurpation of power,

the gross violation ef the laws of onr order by these high in authority; dis­gusted with these whose loyalty to the J>resent ring has been gained by the pick, ngs they receive as a reward for their

8erviceB; incensed at the fawning syco­phants who crawl on their knees in slavish submission to the most corrupt, the moat Hypocritical, the moat autocratic aud tyrannical clique that has ever controlled any labor organization, vfe therefore arbrm the xnott < ot our order that "when bad men combine, the good must associate else they fall an unpitled sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." We assert that the hour has come when as honest men and women wo must de­clare ourselves independent of those who have abused the confidence reposed in them by our order. Onr dnty to the workingmen and women demands that we at onoe reorganise the Knights of La­bor en a baais which wUl secure the au­tonomy of the trades and tke sovereignty of the districts in all pertaining to their trade and local affairs, and to prevent it from being used in the future as a machine to fill the colors of designing and unscru­pulous men, as it is by theeenow in power.

We aflrm the foil* wing to he the reasons that have compelled this ser^eua action on our part.

1. The general office has become a Inxu Hens haunt for men whose ohief aim is te benefit self, pecuniarily and otherwise, and is no longer the Jerusalem of the hum­ble and honest knight.

2. There has been far mora than a year (beginning prior to the Richmond session) an understanding whioh, far lack of a bet­ter word, we oall a conspiracy, for the purpose ef holding the salaried positions elective and appointive in and under the General Assembly.

8. This conspiracy has used the se­cret channels and the funds oi the order to manufacture sentiment for certain members and against ethers. Cer­tain persons, sometimes called "general lecturers, "general organizers," "general instructor*" and general many other things have been paid extravagant sums, both as wages and expense*, when their <mly work was to "fix" certain districts. The lobbyists of railroad corporation! would turn green with envy did they know the superlative excellence attained by those blood-suckers of the Knights ot Labor.

4. Organizers' commissions have been refusedto members who were known to disagree with the methods of the ring, though the applications were indorsed by the District Assembly to which the appli­cant belonged, and commissions were re-recalled because of the refusal of the hold­ers to /all dewa and worship the powers that be.

5. District and local assemblies have been suspended or expelled and deprived of a voice in the General Assembly because they were known as opponents of the i policy of the censiprators.

6. Conspiracies have been] hatched j against dissenting members by the aid o) ! corrupt teols in the district assemblies oi j labor assemblies^e* bath ef suoh. |

7. The records ot the genoral office have ; been fixed and doctored so as to rule out or admit, as the. case might be, Genoral Assembly representatives. j

8. Men have been admitted as delegates ; to the cor«titutional right to seats while others were refused upon technicalities contrary to precedent and established ; custom. In all cas>es the test wa? foi er against the ring.

9. Many thousands of dollars of the order's funds have been illegally expended. \ frequently against the earnest protests oi bonest and law-abiding members.

U. Extravagant hotel bills contracted by the families of general ofheors have been paid out of the order's funds, as have been faMily laundry and bar bills.

O. Funds have been donated and loaned" to oflicera and their friends for their own personal use.

D. (Jeneral officers or organizers and lecturers have not only heen paid liberal salaries and allowed heavy expenses from the general treasury, bat have charged additional sums to the locals and districts.

10. Hoaest men devoted lo the cause ot labor have been made the scape-goats of blundering high officials and driven in disgrace from the movements.

11. Efforts made by assemblies to better their condition have heen strangled by the ring ; it is charity to say for no mean­er reaaon than in response te the clamor of the common enemy of labor.

12. The boycott i a s been used to injure the labor press, union establi-hments and the products of Knights ef Labor and un­ion labor for the sole purpose of '"down­ing" workingmen ana women who could not be used by the conspirators.

IS. Persons who were not members of the o: der have been provided, for personal reasons, with lucrative positions in the j general office. j

14. The constitution has heen altered in an illegal manner; it has been tampered with and measures inimical to the order, enlarge b*v» b*aa railroaded into what is_ called "law." j

15. The war has been waged by the ad­ministration ring against trades' unions and trades' districts. The motto of the ring has been down with trades' districts, exterminate trades' unions This in spite of OW obligation to extend a helping hand to ail branches of honorable toil. I . W. Moony every important strike or fltokoot In which the general officers have iatorforod has been lost. i

Tho Plaintiff, Mrs. Lcander Sharp, brought suit against Samuel Herron for $50,000 damages for "kissing her in a rude, disgraceful, and un­lawful manner, so that life bocamo a burden and death desirable; and the dosnestlc hap pi ness and marital felicity and relations between tbe plaintiffs aa husband and wife were Habe to be destroyed."

A most remarkable imitation of" black walnut has lately been manufactured from poor pine, the quality and appearanco of the article beinij such as to defy detection except upon very close examination. To accomplish this, one part of walnut peel extract is mixed with six parts of water, and with thl9 solution the wood is coated. When the material is half dry, a solution of bichromate of potash with water is rubbed en it, and the made walnut is ready for use.

The fattest piece of humanity in Atlanta, Ga., is School Commissioner Blanchard. Last Thursday he visited the schools, and about the first thing he heard was tbe exclamation of a amaii boy of "Ferecojncs hla fatleta." Tbe small boy's friend* had hardly got through laughing at the remark before "his fatleta" had cohered the future president of the re­public and yanked him serosa the room by the hair, tore some ef it oat ia tbe scuffle, gen­erally disfigured his clothes, and turned htm over to the teacher for a whipping. The fath­er has sworn out a warrant for the commis­sioner's arrest.

Ex-Mlnlater Washbnroe Dead. The Hon. K. B. Waahburne, ex-mtalater

to France, died at the home of his son, Hempstead Washburno, in Chicago, Oct 32d, of congestion of the heart and liver.

Elihu B. Washburn* was born at Liv­er more, Me., In the year 1816. After re­ceiving a good education he was appren­ticed to tho journalistic profession at Kennebec. He then studied law at Har­vard aud waa admitted to the bar. He began practice at Galena, ill., where he became acquainted with Gen. Grant He was sent to congress a> a Whig in 185% When the republican party was organized be became one of its members. He con­tinued to be a member of the house of representatives until 1869, when he was appointed secretary of state by President Grant His health compelled his resigna­tion of this office and he accepted that ot minister to France. He remained in Paris throughout the siege and the terrible events which followed it, the only foreign minister who did so. His latest act of public service was his presidency of tho American exhibition in London.

Mr. Washburne had been ill for some time, but had about recovered from his last attack of brain congestion, and on the morning of the day of his death, arose feeling much better. Soon after breakfast he was seized with a sudden pain in the region of the heart, which rendered him for a time speechless. He was assisted to bed and a physician summoned. In a short time the patient experienced great lellef, and rested quietly until about 4 o'clock when he arose without assistance to take a drink a water. He was imme­diately seized with a recurrence of the pain in the heart Restoratives were ad­ministered, but were of no avail and he expired without any indication of further pain. %

The sudden death was an unexpected blow to the family, as his general improve­ment had led to the belief that he had quite recovered, and wnuid be spared seveial years yet

Funeral services were held in Chicago on the 26th Inst, and the remains taken to Galena,ill., for final Interment.

Ma Wrashburne's wife, it will be re­membered, died a few months ago. He leaves five children; Hempstead Wash-burue, City Attorney of Chicago; William P. Washburne of LIvermore, Me.; Mrs. W. D.

— - • • filler's Report.

From the annual report of John B. Riley, Superintendent of Indian schools, lo the secretary of the interior, it appears that the aggregate expenditure, by the government, for the education of Indian children, during the yfcar was Si,095,379, of which 3719,833 was expended on ac­count of the government boarding schools and $308,299 for the support and education of pupils at contract boarding schools, most of which are under control of relig­ious denominations, as the chief items. The whole number of Indian children be­tween the ages of 6 and 16 years is 39,821; of this number 14,932, or about thirty-seven and one-half per cent., attended school some portion of the year. A uni­form system of text books aud study, and teaching cf English only are recommend­ed, and the report says 1hat too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of preparing native teacherB, and to this end suggests that a normal .school depart­ment be established at some of the larger schools. On the whole the report shows an appreciable advance during the year in Indian fducation.

Blaok Nominated. The socialist wing of tho unitod labor

party held a convention at Union hall In Chicago tho other night, about 250 dele­gates being pieseut. Capt Black was nominated for superior court judge and

J^rancis T. Colby for state's attorney. A petition asking Gov. Ogleshy for

clemency for the anarchists was adopted by a vote of 1.V2 to 20. it recites that tho delegates wore not anarchists, but they believe tho execution of the condemned men, "while satisfying for a few days the insane clamor for blood." will extend and intensify tho bitterness and hate alreiuly existing between the extremes of society. Fault is found with the trial and a com­mittee was appointed to present the peti­tion to Gov. Ogleshy.

Roported Kvlctlons Denied. The assistant manager of the Hocking

Chair ranch, in Collinsworth, Tex., denies that notice has been given to settlers t< leave the rancli. The ranchmon had nc lea.se of tho lands when the two men com­plained to Ihe governor, and tfie managers did not believe their Please would justify eviction. They believe there are men on the ranch having more cattle on it than the- law allows them, but it will require strict legal process to evict them. Gov. Ross and Land Commissioner Hail are in accord in their determination to protect all bona fide actual settlers.

Worse Then the Benders yhe discovery has been made that a

ferryman on the lower Danube river, who has been in the habit of conveying .across the river workman from Roumania, to avoid producing certificates that they paid taxerfn Roumania, took them to a small island, where he murdered them and robbed them of their salaries. Inquiry shows that hundreds .of, workmen have been murdered and their bodies burned or thrown into tho river. /

Lawrence iron worksat lronton, Ohio, exploded the other mbrning. Portions of the boilers were blown half a mile away. Thfl'RintHl are Mk'haei mid James Dyei, brothers, Thomas Davis and Pete Clay. Twenty mcti were wounded. If the boil­ers had gone upward through the mill, the loss of Ufa would have been fearful. The west part of the mill is a total wreck.

PEN PICTURES OF DUBLIN.

Seme ef the Striking Ctiaraeterlettes) of tho Irish C*P*t«l.

I was in Ireland bat two nights and a day, writes a oorresdondent of The New Ywk World, but dttring that time I came in coatact with a great number of people, and, although my visit was short, perhaps obtained some Impres­sion of tbe impression oi tbe situation there which may be of interest

There was a horse-show during the week of my visit This brought an uuusual number of people to Dublin, and in certain quarters gave the city a ficticious appearance of life. Bat the moment one went outside the prin­cipal streets, where the visitors were to be found, there was nothing but dullness, depression and great business stagna­tion. Tbe city appears to be under a blight. The people are doing nothing. There is no money coming in from the country districts. Business is nearly at n standstill. Although there is great poverty and suffering among the poor in London, I think there, is greater poverty and suffering in tbe streets of Dublin. I do not think I Have ever sewn in any o i e day as many ragged men, women, and children as I saw in the streets of Dublin last Wednesday.

The wretohedJy poor were everywhere, borne of the dress of these poor people was the merest cover for their naked­ness. How they managed to keep their rajs from falling off was a myste­ry. One little boy in particular I noticed. He was as handsome a child as I ever saw. He had bright blue eyes, a splendid complexion, regular features, short, dark, curly hair, and teeth as white as snow. He wore a I dark calico shirt, torn into pieces, so that it just hung on in little strips over his brown shoulders. His only other garment was a pair of torn trousers, which were rolled up above the knees of his bare legs. He had no hat He was engaged in selling little books of Irish scenery. He had the most con­tented, cheerful face I have ever seen. He looked as saucy, self-reliant, and good-natured as if he were the child of prosperity instead of the offspring of poverty. Indeed, this look ef the child was the common one worn by the poor­est of tbe people. I saw everywhere sigue of the most terrible destitution, but I do not think I saw a downcast face in Dublin. Even the poorest look­ed saucy and good-natured, and ap­peared to have the keenest sense of anything funny or enjoyable within range of their sharp, wickedly observ­ant eyes.

The interest these people take in pol­itics is universal. From the highest to the lowest politics is the one subject Indeed, it is a matter in Ireland large­ly of life and death. It is the most serious subject possible in view of tho

Sosition that Uie English government as lately assumed toward this people.

When it was announced that a meeting was to be held in the rotunda to protest against the notion of the government in proclaiming the National league, there was sueh a demand for places that the secretary of the league decided not to issue aay tickets, but to open the ball to everyone. I had a special curd from Mr. Herrington, secretary of the league, directing the doorkeep­ers to let uie in in advance of the crowd.

When I saw Mr. Harrington ho said: "You follow me and keep with •'me, and we will get in all right.11 With the exception of one or two, who went with the lord mayor in his carriage, tbe little crowd with Mr. Harrington jumped on to jaunting-cars thai were in waiting, and quickly disappeared up a back street. The driver of the j:mnting-car to which I clung us it trav­eled alternately on its left and right wheel over the lumny pavement was a strong, resolute fellow, who drove as if it was a matter of life and death. H s horse was a powerful white gelding with a tremendous stride. The driver neither turned his head to the right nor to the left, as" ho received his orders. He never touched his horse with the whip, but called out now and then in a low voice, and each t me that lie d d the nnimal would lungo forward as if he had been struck. By perfectly frightful driving the jaunting-cars reached the private entrance into the grounds sur­rounding the rotunda five minutes in advance of tho crowd, and were safely behind its locked gates when the roar of tbe following crowd was heard down the streets, and a moment later were rattling at the jrates trying to follow. It seemed all of tire time as if we were flying from en«mies instead of friends.

The hall within live minutes from the opening of the doors was packed to suffocation. Half of the people in this andience were in rags, but their enthus­iasm, their attention, and their appre­ciation could not have*been surpassed by any audience.

I noticed a great number ©f Catholic priests. They appeared to fairly revel in the excitement of the meeting. I noticed one priest who sat duflRg the speaking with his head bent forward, while his lips fa rly twitched with ex­citement He was perfectly uncon-sc ous of the workings of his face. His upper lip would pull back nearly to the base of the nostrils, leaving his teeth and gums uncovered so as to give him a most hideous expression. And yet it was nothing but mere nervousness, for when his faoe was in normal condition it was- mild and peaceful aud inoffen­sive >n its lines. The priests, however, are very great politic ans, and are as devoted to the cause of home rule as it is possible for anyone to imagine.

Tho defereiite paid to the priests in

wsjka ^f We with the same respeet is poidjhy a private soldier to his suj rior oAoor. The first night I arrive* in VwktfB I noticed the superior position of th# priests. The guaxd who came along ft Kingstown to take up the tickets was an energetic Irishman who snatched the tickets from the hand* of the passengers without a word until he came to the one priest in the cojopftrV ment, a mere boy, not over 19, evi­dently, iust from the theological col­lege. To him be bowed and said, "Thank you. as he gently took bis tickets from bis outstretched hand.

I went to the horse-show daring ihe afternoon for the purpose of see inathe people more than the horses. The people I saw there were in such marked contrast to the political audience of the night before. Throughout the great gathering at this show I did net see a single sign of poverty or lack of com­fort It was an exceptionally hand­some, well dressed crowd. It was a much better looking gathering than those I saw at the Ascot or the Derby. The ladies in particular were much handsomer, and dressed with much better taste. The material of their dresses was not more expensive, but the colors were harmonious, and the, dresses were well made. I saw more pretty girls at this horse-show in one day than I have seen in all England during the last five months. The Irish' girls as a class havo fine, straight'. willowy figures, regular features, andi intensely fair complexions. These fair,: delicate complexions, however, break1

early, so that the old ladies of Ireland are quite as ugly and plain as those of i England. It was a splendid looking, crowd. They appeared very much like English people in their quiet ways and matter-of-fact enjoyment of the jump­ing of tho horses, but they spoke much better English than their English couelns, and where any brogue was heard it was so slight as to add piquaney to the manner of speaking.-

There was one thing that I specially noticed in my short visit, and that waa the common use of tbe word 'Tat1' and 'Paddy,'7 to indicate the members of the common class. Pat is employed in Ireland as is John Bull in England or Brother Jonathan in the United States. No newspaper of the United State* would venture to speak of an Irishman as a Paddy, but the Irish newspapers in Dublin speak constantly of the Paddies, just as we would speak of the Brother Jonathan of the Yankees. You see in nearly every picture store funny illustrations of the wit of ••Pat" in his roles of car-driver, day laborer, or agriculturist I remember one particularly which represented Pat as a jaunting car-driver standing in front of bis horse, holding his great coat over his head as his very fat lady patron stands holding out her fare. She asks him why he holds his coat in that posi­tion, and Pat replies: "Sure, I do not want him to see what a load he has been carrying for such a small fare, else the poor baste might beeome dis­couraged." This class of pictures and stories is much more appreciated by the cult vated Irish people than by any other nationalitv.

He Wanted Fleas. A singular advertisement attracted

my attention the other day. It was a call for 100,000 live fleas to be deliv­ered in parcels of not less than 5.000 each at a certain address. I confess my curiosity to know what a man could waut with such a vast number of these interesting insects led mo to go and make personal inquirv. I iound the man was a flea trainer, and I gathered these iacts, that it takes three months to teach a flea-to-do any- -thing worthy of a public performance. That onlv one flea in a thousand can DO taught anything. That a performing flea usually lives a year, with great care, and that in response to his adver­tisement he hail only received in three days one package, estimated to contain 3,000 fleas, and they came from tbe dog pound. He paid twenty-five dollars for tbem, and they were very good fleas.—New York Truth.

Thafs tbe course taken byPinckney Exchange Bank—one of the pleasant, punctual and permanent business in­dustries of this village. Quietly, but proudly, wo arise to remark that that institution has become one of our necessities; and bow it "got there" we claim to know. It was in tbe usual, best approved, and really only way. A due admixture of grit, energy and integrity, combined with "hustling" qualities has been the open sesame. It had its inception in a 7x7 corner in the rear of the brick store now owned by Mann bratbers, and first asked recognition on April 29, 1884. From there it soon graduated to a neat little frame building, 14x26, linilt especially for it on the north side of Main street. Last spring fire laid that in ashes, but the power behind it was unscathed, and anon it rose, Phoenix-like, to its present development. On the spot where the other stood now rests a handsome brick structure, 22x36, bright as a new dolfer, with brown stone and plate glass front. Inside the arrange­ment is superb, having a general recep- | tion room private pa

by one of the Hall Safe & Lock .Cos." vault fronts and contains an improved fire and burglar proof, 3-ton, time-lock •safe of Detroit manufacture. The private parlor is well furnished and carpeted—just the place to be com fort-able in the transaction of ones own business, and is approached by a door "from each of the first rooms.

From tbe New York Tribune. Boston has purchased 155,000 so-

called Gladstone bricks, to be used in fcbe construction of a part of the new courthouse. They are from the kilns ot W. E. Gladstone <fe Son^ Haward-en, Wales. Their Trade name is "The Premier Brand," first called so pro'-iably when Gladstone was prem­ier of England. The brick is seven times larger tlmn the ordinary Amer­ican brick and weighs six or seven pounds. Its exact dimensions are 9x4 3-8x3 1-4 inches. On both top and bottom ,^re crooves 6 3-4x1 3-4 inches in size and about 1 ipnh iu depth. The bricks are of alight buff col­or. The prica paid delivered is $45.50 a thousand. The making of these bricks occupied thirty days instead of fourteen, the usual time lor common brick. The only other article used in constructing the courthouse which had to be imported was the iron beams. They came from Antwerp. The contract p^ice is $08,023, and the difference between this and the best American bid for an equal crad* of iron was several thousand dollars.

The country adjacent to Norfolk, i Va., has become a great trucking re­gion since the war. When a season of good yields and fair prices is struck there is a large pecuniary reward in the business, and the present seema to have been a season of that sort. A correspondent a t Norfolk mentions

; one trucker who, onjtwohundred and sixty-five acres of land, has netted a

. handsome fortune this season, with 1 an immense crop ol potatoes.
