H., was held yesterday afternoon at Martin's hall, and considerable business of interest to the order was transacted. The Irish-American Social club will give a dance to-night at Market hall. As it is the last dance before Lent, which commences next Wednesday, a large party is sure to as semble to trip it on the "light "fantastic." Last evening it was reported that a New- York commercial man had eloped with a Minneapolis girl named Sanger or Langen*. The city directory gives the name of Hattie Langen, clerk in H. O. Peterson's store, 1,229 South Washington avenue. No further particulars are known. Next Wednesday being Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenton season, there will be mass at the church of the Immaculate Conception at 9 o'clock and devotional ex ercises in the evening.

An independent political club, composed entirely of French-Canadians, was organized in this city on Saturday night. The officers are D. Garon, president; George Peltier, secretary, and Arthur Menard, treasurer. The French vote in Minneapolis Is over 1,200, and in the quadrangular contest in the near future the French vote will count. The magnificent chair voted for the most popular clergyman at the Armory fair last Saturday night was carried by Father James McGolrick with an overwhelming majority, the number of votes cast for him being up ward of 270 while his competitor, Dr. Tuttlc, received about one fifth that number. The < Irusaders were determined to carry the prize for their pastor and they will have much pleasure iu presenting it to the popular cler gyman to-day. The lrish?Xatio>ial League. The Irish National league last evening de bated the question: lie^olved, That manhood suffrage in the British island would aid the abolition of landlordism." There were three contestants on either side, and Dr. Finncgan was appointed judge on the merits of their arguments. He gave his decision in favor of those supporting the affirmative of the question. Mr. Roberts rendered the young Ireland song, ''Who fears to speak ol '98?" and Messrs. Hall and Hopkins rendered vo cal and Instrumental selections. The meet ing was large and enthusiastic. The GeWiard-Hunter Squabble. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Xf.w YoKK.Feb. 24—The Gebhard-Hunter wrangle has at last taken a definite shape. It has been withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the Jockey club, before which it had no busi ness to be brought at all, being substantially a private money transaction, bearing but an incidental relation to racing or betting con tracts between two members of the club. The case has been submitted to arbitrators. The gossip in sporting circles is that Hunter has possession of telegrams and letters which make his case stronger tUan at first anticipated. The amount involved is said to be about §10,000, and friends of both say the dispute would never have occurred had the young men not been a little hard up -just now. One of the oldest sportsmen remarked the other day: "Hunter was never a rich man, but Freddy was always well off and as it is well known that he neither gambles nor speculates, everybody wonders what he has done with his money, unless he gave it away." The Validity of Slave Marriages. Toledo, O., Feb. 24.—A peculiar case has been decided in the common pleas court, in volving the validity of slave marriages. A colored man, married here in 1S83, named Anderson, but was arrested for bigamy, it being charged that he was married while a slave to a slave woman in Belford county, Ya.. in 1866. The case has hinged on the validity of the slave marriage. The judge instructed the jury, that slaves, being prop erty, could not make . a legal contract, but that courts have decided that a slave marri age became valid by cohabitation as man and wife after the emanc ipation proclama tion went into effect in 1864. The case then turned on the question of the fact, whether the pair had so cohabited, or not, as shown by the evidence. The jury rendered a ver dict of not guilty. ■ . A Mormon editor was proselytizing in In diana and a plot was formed to seize him while he was addressing a public meeting, take him to a seccluded spot and maltreat him with tar and feathers. Being informed of his peril in advance, he did not run away, but boldly appeared according to appoint ment, preached Mormonism in the most el oquent manner, and by his oratory so im impressed the eonspirators that they gave up the intention of mobbing him. There are now forty-eight lady students in the Harvard Annex, and it is the testimony of some of the Harvard professors that the average scholarship of the classes in the An nex is above that of the classes in the college. This year, thirty-five out of the forty-eight ladies have chosen Greek electives. Two en thusiastic girls from Texas sold land and traveled two thousand miles to get to the college. An old-time clergyman was a very shrewd man, and quick at rapartee. Once, when preaching in a strange church, he was an noyed to find the place so dark, and, beck oning to a person sitting near the pulpit, he asked him to open the blinds and let in more light. "We expect light from you," said the gentleman. "But I must get it from heaven first," was the quiek rejoinder. MORE TRICHINOSIS. A Family of Five Stricken With the Dread Disease. At Least Two Members are Dangerously 111. The Disease Defined in a Comprehensive Treatise. On Friday Dr. Koehl, of 113 Nicollet av enue, Was called to the residence of A. Voelker, No. 518 Adams street, on the East side, where he found the family consisting of five members, stricken by some peculiar dis ease, the symptoms of which were of an ex traordinary character. After making a most careful and competent diagnosis of the re spective cases. Dr. Koehl determined that the family were stricken with the dread trichinosis, and at once began treatment for that disease. Hapily he made no error in his conclusions, as subsequent investigations established the fact that it was absolutely trichinosis. The family had partaken of ham which looked exception ally good and was considered the best in the mar ket. Dr. Koehl took a piece of the meat in question and assisted by Dr. J. T. Moore, of No. 31 South Washington avenue, who pos sesses probably the finest and most powerful microscope in Minneapolis, placed the ham under it, where trichinae in great numbers were discovered. The father was first afflicted with the para site; he was followed by the eldest son, John ny, about sixteen years of age; then Minnie ten years old, became seriously ill, and is still in a critical condition ; a little girl of six years is also very sick, while the mother is affected but not dangerously. There were others who also ate the meat inhabited by trichirne, being visitors at Mr. Voelker's house, and Dr. Koehl has sent to them lo inquire their condition. Mr. Voelker is a well-to-do miller, who lives in a comfortable home, and is the head of an especially bright, inteligent and beautiful family of children. So it is seen that trich inosis does not afflict only the poorer classes, as it has been alleged, but that it is develop ed In the better families. The peculiar disease, which is attracting such general attention, both of our physicians and citizens ta pretty clearly defined and described in the following: ITS DISCOVERT, ETC. Henry Hartshorne, M. D., in an exhaustive article upon Trichinae says: This parasite be longs with the round or thread-like nematoid worms. It was discovered by Tiedemann in L822, and independently by Hilton in 1S32. Owen in 1835 discovered and classified it. Leuckurt ascertained its character in the mature condition. * * * When mature the male is 1-18 of an inch long; the female of at least twice this length. The eggs are about 1-200 of an inch in diameter. Each female contains from three to five hundred ova. These after fertilization and six or eight days of gestation arc developed in embryos; which, when extruded within the intestines of an animal, commence at once their migra tions. Finding their way through the intes tinal walls, they travel on until they locate themselves in or between the fibers of some of the muscles. There they coil into a spiral form and become gradually surrounded by a calcareous cyst. This has an ovoid or lemon like shape and is visible to the naked eye as a whitish or gray speck. The muscular fibers of the part so inhabited undergo degeneration. In the dissecting room such altered muscles have not infrequently been observed in this country, as well as in Europe. The muscles mostly affected are differently stated by va rious authors, but any or all of the red striated muscles may be involved. * * * * The hog is especially liable to trichind, but it has been found also in the ox, horse, sheep, dog, cat, badger, hedgehog, mole, pigeon and eel. Experimentally, by feeding in fected meat, it has been communis bated to the bat, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig and other creatures. Sometimes death follows this infectation, but it is astonishing how little disturbance of health occurs in a large number of instances. Stiffness of movement aud hoarseness of voice, in a cer tain number of cases, show the affection in swine. Much more often, however, they ap pear to be, during life, in as good a condition as active animals not so inhabited. The number of the parasites in the muscles of an animal may be immense. As many as 10,000 to 18,000 have been found in a cubic inch of hog's flesh. Prof. Dalton estimated the number of them in a human subject at 85,000 to the cubic inch. From 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 may ex ist in a single human body, according to ex aminations made in several cases. It was not until 1S60 that the morbid ef fects of this parasite when inhabiting the body of man, were distinctly recognized. Zenker then found trichime in ham and sau sages eaten by those effected by them. Wunderlich saw two cases in Leipsic in 1863. Several persons died from this cause the same year in Plauen, Saxony. In 1863 occurred the most startling example of it in Hettstadt, Prussia. Of 103 persons there dining together on a festive occasion, twenty died and thirty others were for some time ill. A part of their dinner consisted of sausages, smoked and warmed, but not cooked. Some of tbe saus ages left were examined and found swarming with trichinie. * * * The first case of trichinosis recorded in America was seen by Dr. Schnetter, of New York, in 1864. Near the same tyne, Dr. Bass of the same city, saw four persons so affected on a steamer from Bremen. Afterward cases were reported by Drs. Lothrop, of Buffalo, Wilson and Riestine, of Marion, Iowa, and others. In Chicago in 1865-6 a committee of physi cians on examining more than 1,000 hogs from different packing establishments, re ported that one in fifty of those animals re ceived at Chicago were trichinous. * * * Hav ing fed a rat with trichinous pork, Dr. Bel field ate a portion of the rat's flesh, which had been ascertained by the micro scope to contain twelve trichinse. At the end of more than a month, he had suffered no inconvenience. This confirms what has of ten been established by many other observa tions, that a few trichinae may, even in man, be harmless inhabitants of the body, while if they number, as is often the case, hundreds of thousands, disease and frequently death will result. THE SYMPTOMS. In the first stages, general discomfort, weakness, indigestion, vomiting, and loose ness of the bowels, show that some cause of serious gastro-enteric irritation exists. This stage lasts usually about a week; then fever supervenes, not disappearing under free perspirations, pufliness of the face, hoarse ness, sometimes marked dyspcea, difficulty in swallowing, pain on moving the eyeballs, tenderness of the abdomen, more or less diarrhoea, and most character istic of all—pain and rigidity of the muscles of the neck, back, arms and* lee:s. Exhaus tion follows and insomnia; in some cases deliriums, with scantiness and high color of the urine. Intercurrent pneumonia is not rare. Death may happen from three to six weeks, but seldom after. It has been shown that a temperature of 122 degrees Fahr. will destroy the vitality of trichina?. Fielder asserts that eneapsuled trichinae require a heat approaching 150 to 160 degrees, to kill them. Never, however, will they survive through cooking, of the flesh in which they exist, either free or in the cysts. It is not enough to cook them slightly. Nor will cold smoking, even when protracted, be sure to destroy them. Hot smoking, thoroughly done, may suffice, but it is best not to trust to it. Practically, then, our precept must he, that no pork, ham or sausage should be eaten without it has been thoroughly cooked, through and through. Provision dealers and butchers and sanitary authorities also, owe it to the public as well as to themselves, to or ganize and insist upon more competent in spection and selection of animals to be slaughtered. Dr. Kohl visited the family of Conrad Voelker, stricken by trichinosis, and found the five mentioned lying very low. Mrs. Voelker's sister, a young girl aged about eighteen years, is also in a critical condition. The temperature of each patient is rising and the doctor last night was unable to offer any opinion respecting the probable results. THE ST! PAUL DAILY GLOBE, MONDAY ■ MORXiyq FEBRUARY 25, 1884. DAKOTA&MOHTANA. Xews Gleanings and Points Specially Collected and Forwarded by Tele graph to the Daily Globe. [Fargo Special Telegrams, Feb. 23, to the St. Paul Globe. 1 Dakota & Montana Nexes. Some of the young men whom no one sus pects of indulging in Moon literature, seek to draw the public eye by publishing vehement denials. The family of J. F. Caxruther's Grand Forks Herald, barely escaped death from coal gas on a recent night. All were taken vio lently ill. Capt. Parker, of Devil's Lake, has gone to Bowling Green, Mo., to superintend the immigration of a colony from that section to Devil's Lake. The railroad agent at Blunt anticipates the arrival of 500 cars of emigrant goods and 1,500 people in the spring if the Sioux reser votions is not opened. The commissioners of the new county of Tower, from whom young Connelia was squeezed out in dubious way, have appointed Col. Percial, sheriff, and fixed a location for the county seat. Geo. Bale, of Lisbon, shows what a young man can do in Dakota. In the last eighteen months he secured a preemption, homestead, tree claim aad wife, sold the tree claim and proved up on the other three. A geologist from Champaign university in 111., and several capitalists from Ohio, are exploring the Turtle mountain region for coal and iron, which are believed to be found there in paying quantities. In a recent case at the land office at Hu ron, it was decided that a woman could hold a claim under the homestead law even with a living husband, provided the man was of no account and the woman supported the family. Bismarck Leader: The United States grand jury at Fargo has been discharged. Of the sixteen Sibley island wood choppers taken before the jury not one was indicted. How about the king of France who "marched up a hill and then marched down again?" Ward G. Leavitt, the farmer near Grand Forks, who, with a neighbor, were frozen to death in a storm last week, furnish jrood points for temperance lecturers, as their deaths were no doubt due to having drank too much whisky before starting home. Col. Plummer has assumed the position of editor-in-chief of the Itepublican, for which he is well litted, and A. C. Jordan late of the Minneapolis Tribune is bnsiness manager, the Halls all retiring. Many will regret the peparture of the Dr. and Ed. Hall as they were personally quite popular. The boom or immigration edition of the Jamestown Alert, is a handsome sheet and full of the best sort of desctiptive literature relating to that city and the fertile valley of the James. It is a fine exhibition of enter prise and skill. The only disappointing fea ture is that no inflation is given the Logan boom. Lisbon Clipper: Mr. Griswold, of the Shcy enne gold mines, is now in Colorado having more rock crushed, and writes that he will be here inside of four weeks with money, mules and moss-agates—we mean with new ma chinery and renewed confidence. Doubtless many improvements will be made along the valley of the Sheycnne within the next six months. There is general sympathy in this section with the people of Manitoba in their contest with the government, and all will be glad to see a revolt from the Canadian rule. Ma terial aid will be given so far as practicable. It is not, however, desired that a new state shall be added to the Union in that direction at present. That will of course be the final issue, but the feeling here is that Manitoba should act on its own hook for a time at first. Bad Lands Cow Boy: Game has had a hard time of it this winter. So many buffalo hunters were thrown out of employment by the absence of their favorite game, that they had to kill deer, elk and mountain sheep or give up hunting. The Sioux have held the buffalo down on the reservation closely but it seems thht one bull was unwilling to die there. He strayed toward Little Missouri and was shot within twenty rods of the Custer Trail home ranch. Rev. Father Stephan reached home at Jamestown from Washington on the 22d. He reports that Col. Doran stands high with the administration and that he will stand a good chance to be appointed governor, if he really wants it. The reverend father had personal interviews with the president and many of the leading senators and congress men. It is thought that the Harrison bill, for the admission of south Dackota, after the presidential election, is the most hopeful of all the Dakota bills. This is an improved version of the story told by the Devil's Lake Inter-Ocean: John A. Logan's candidacy for the presidency is bringing out a great many things concern ing his political career in Illinois. The lat est compaign scandal is to the effect that while running for office in the Sucker state some years ago he found it necessary to join two churches in the southern part of the state at the same time. He was in Chicago and there was no time to lose; so he joined the Methodist church by telegraph and sent his photograph to the Baptist' brethren with the request that it be baptised ai once. Through the efforts and seductive aroma of the five cigars carried by the deacons, three of the young men at Lisbon who were to forfeit $25 to the churches for smoking since January 1, have broken their high re rolves and the Baptist treasury has gained $25 and the Presbyterian $50. Deacon C. W. Butts, the attorney who has reported to have reported to have planted canned to matoes the past season, claims most of the credit, and says that his missionary efforts have just commenced. The three young men were Adams, Allen and Van Pelt. Bad Lands Cow Boy: A man stopped off here on his way back to Michigan from the Cceur d'Alene mines yesterday morning, and his account was anything but rosy. He was utterly disgusted with#the mines, claiming that it was a huge swindle. There is very little gold in paying quantities, he claims", and the whole plan is a gigantic speculation for the purpose of gulling people out of their money. That it will be a success there is not much doubt. The excitement is at fever heat everywhere, and thousands will hurry into the mines in the spring and will soon not have money enough to hire a mule to kick them out. Major Free, who has just mustered in a post of the G. A. R. at Fargo, in an interview, says that the sudden activity in the order is not due to the presidential aspirations of any man—that the order is strictly non-political, but the members will naturally give the preference to one of their number for presi dent. They are specially friendly to Logan from the fact that he has shown great inter est in the order, and is in favor of all bills that increase the pension lists. He regards these posts and the publicity given the n»mes and fact of so large a soldier popula tion as the finest advertisement possible for the localities where the posts are established. In his opinion the new post at Fargo will be the means of bringing at leat 3.000 soldiers to this section. There are about fifty posts n ow in the territory and the number is grow ing rapidly. As both sides on the capital commission question have been so confident that they have got their man in Judge Palmer, this statement of an interview with him by the Yankton Press is of interest: The judge was spoken to .regarding the numerous news paper comments concerning his position on the capital question. In reply he au thorized the statement that he had never given an oral or written expression of opin ion on the constitutionality of the capital commission act; that he had never read the bill and had listened to none of the argu ments in the case. He said he owed no man or set of men any favor for political support, and though individuals might have endorsed him for the appointment, such en dorsement placed him under no obligations. He is much annoyed at the general newspa per discussion going on over him, and says it is entirely uncalled for. The judge has not yet decided where he will reside in the dis trict to which he ha3 been appointed. As he has just filed a homestead claim at ©evib Lake, the last statement is a little surprising. It cannot be supposed that he will attempt any of the equivocations sometimes attribu ted to the unscrupulous. The Broadaxe, the new evening paper in Fargo, did not appear on the 20th, as an nounced, the delay being caused by the disa greement among the members of the staff as to the details of an elaborate vignette being prepared for the head. Atl the managers and staff wanted to be pictured in it, and there was crowding for position, with the re sult that none of them will appear. It is known that the paper will come to the pub lic eye to-morrow, (Monday) even ing. It will be a neat, hand some sheet, snappv and lively- The editor in-chief will be Mr. Arford, an able and spicy writer who has had experience on east ern papers. T. B. Holmes will be city ed itor, and there will be no monkeying around where he is. Although the sheet has had a hard time "aborning." it gives lusty prom ise of rustling life. The excellent and prosperous Jamestown Capital has just entered upon its third year and is one of the most readable of the Da kota dailies. It has this sensible paragraph: A false and foolish alarm was telegraphed from LaMoure to the Minneapolis papers, and thence sent all over the country, to the effect that several stages had been lost in Monday nighfs storm. Some of the stages on the valley line were caught out in the storm, but the drivers had sense enough to wait at the nearest houses until it was blown over, which was but a few hours. Because they did not reach LaMoure on time the crank who gives the news of that part of the country to the world telegraphed that they were lost. If the drivers had had as little sense as the news man who gave currency to the report, they would have been lost. The fact is, the men who drive on the valley line ar.- old stagers and know too much to be lost in a squall like that of Monday night. A night or two ago, when quite a little crowd of Bismarck people were in Fargo, a somewhat cruel joke was played upon a noted and wealthy, but amorous capitalist of Bismarck. The aged and wealthy Bismarck er was mashed on a pretty waiter girl at one of the leading hotels. He cast sheep's eyes aud soft glances, and finally handed her a $10 bill, requesting her to call at his room at night. She took the money and told a boy. The boy told the other Bismarckers and they employed the boy to dress in the girl's clothes and visit the old fellow. A note was sent him as if from the girl, telling him to retire at a certain time and leave bis door unlocked and the light turned very low. The programme was carried out to perfection aud after the lapse of quite a time the waiting crowd were treated to the sight of the old gent in dishabille, kicking a boy, in equal dishabille, out of the room. The next scene was at the hotel bar, where Bismarck was largely represented, and more than $10 was passed over the counter,, with pledges of re ticence, "Don't let it out at Bismarck, boys." Delegate Raymond has furnished this state ment from his ledger in regard to the bonan za farm in which he has an interest: "Be fore we received a return from our crop we invested$55,000. That includes' the pur chase of our land, the erection of five barns, a dwelling house, an elevator capable of hold ing 100,000 bushels of wheat and oats, all the stock and machinery to run the farm, and all the cost of breaking the laud, plant ing aud reaping the crop and delivering it at the market. We had 2,000 acres in wh^at, and enough oats to keep our stock. We got about twenty-live bushels to the acre, which would be 50,000 bushels from the entire plaee. We shall save out our seed wheat for next year and can then sell the crop for about $50,000." That is a return of about 90 per cent, upon the investment, or a dividend of 45 per cent, a year, for the farm lay idle the first twelve months after its purchase. To the question, "Do you consider it an ad vantage to own your own stock and do your own work'" Mr. Raymond replies: "There are as many ways of farming as there are of going to heaven, and you will find every farmer likes his own method best. I con sider it 25 per cent, cheaper to own my ma chinery and stock, and believe it is more economical to borrow money to buy stock and machinery than to hire the work done." THE QCIZICAL WOULD. "Yes," said the reverend gentleman, "I am rector of the church, my mother-in-law is director, and my wife is corrector." Student (to Parker house barber) —"What, twenty cents for a shave! Why, I can get shaved twice at Cambridge for twenty cents." (Barber, consolingly)—"Oh, well, sir, ten cents a year ain't much of a saving." □ Tommy (whose papa has just bought him a dog)—"Mamma, is bady thoroughbred?" Fond mamma—"What an extraordinary question, why?" Tommy—"Then please hold her up by her ears, and see if she'll howl.''— Siftings. "Yes, sir," said the hungry man, as he en tered the New Jersey hotel, "I want dinner; I want it bad." From what we know of New Jersey hotels, we haven't the infinitesimal atom of a shadow of a doubt that he got it bad."— Boston Post. "I have more trouble than any living man or dead one, for that matter." "What's wrong now?" inquired a friend. "Why, you see, about two months ago, I was trying to put a note in bank." "Yes." "Well, now I am trying to take it out. Just why there should be trouble at both ends of such an affair I don't understand." At a grand dinner. A very heedless gen tleman who talks a great deal forgets that his neighbor, a young lady, is prematurely large, and cries out: "I do not like large women*." The lady bites her lips; the gentleman sees he has made a blunder, and to repair it as gallantly as possible he adds: "When they are young, madam!"— French Fun. Pastor—"You have not been to church for some time?". Member—"Well, no. You see, I go to the theatre every Saturday night, and coming out of that hot auditorium into the cold air always gives me 6uch a cold that I have to stay at home all day Sunday to nurse it." Pastor—"But, the question of theatre-going aside, why not, if you wiil go, select Monday night instead of* Saturday?" Member—"I am afraid I might catch cold at church and that would prevent me from at tending the theatre."— Philadelphia CaU. Gladstone and the Boston Girl [American Queen.] A Boston girl of unusually ingenious man ners and frank nature has, we learn from the other side, added to the already hand some list of natural possessions and graces strong evidences of diplomacy. A party of tourists, our sweet Portia among them, en tered one morning the private grounds of Mr. Gladstone, craving, of course, the good fortune of seeing the great statesman. For tune smiled on their wishes; the coachman espied the gentleman approaching and so obligingly and ostentatiously stopped his horses that there was no alternative, had he indeed wished any, to the host's advancing and greeting his visitors. "Have you been long in England?" he in quired graciously. "Oh, no," 6aid that darling B. G., "we only landed this morning, and we came right here the first thing." Now who, I ask, could withstand such flat tery as that? Surely not a man, and cer tainly not Mr. Gladstone. He kindly forgot that there were only two possible drives out of Liverpool; one a very long one and this short one; he remembered only the Boston girl and her artlessness, and nothing that he or his wife or his household could offer was too good or too distinctive to lay at her feet. "Yursanchurs." The expression used by Mrs. Florence of "yursanchurs ago" is an exact adaptation from the address of an English bishop, whom the Florences heard talk to a Sunday school when they were last in Fngland. The bishop's address ran on in this fashion: "My dear children,it has been your custom for 'yursan churs' to meet here in this place. I have watched your progress for 'yursanchurs,' you know. We are going to talk this morning about the prodigal son. He lived many 'yurs anchurs' ago. I want to call your attention to the loving picture of his return after an absence of 'yursanchurs.' His father killed for him the fatted calf which he had been fat ting for 'yursanchurs,' " etc. Mrs. Florence captured this favorite phrase of the bishop's and has since used it with great effect. THE DIMPLE ON HER CHEEK. Within a nest of rose*. Half hidden from sight, Until a smile discloses Its loveliness aright, Behold the work of Cnpid, Who wrought it in a freak, The witching little dimple— The dimple on her cheek! The Sirens' lays and slances To lure the sailor ni^'h ; The perilous romances Of fabled Lorelei, And all the spells of Circe Are reft of oharm and weak, Beside the dainty dimple— The dimple on her cheek! Were these the golden ages Or knights and troubadours, Who brighten olden pages With tourneys and amours. What lances would be broken— What silver lutes would speak, In honor of the dimple— The dimple on her check ! — Samuel Minturn Peck in t/a- Manhattan. TIMELY TOPICS. Joseph Cooke in one of his late lectures in Fremont Temple paid a glowing tribute to the late Wendell Phillips. ''Boston,''said Mr. Cooke "mobbed Wendell Phillips; let the city now honorably, gladly, penitently, build his monument." Lord Mansfield in a speech of unsurpassed eloquence delivered in the British House of Peers over a ceutury ago said, ''many who have been saluted with huzzas of the crowd one day have received their execrations the next," and it may be said with equal point and force that those who received the execrations of the crowd one day may be made the objects of unlimit ed applause the next. "Wendell Phillips fully illustrates this. Fifty years ago, the object of popular condemnation and persecution; to-day, honored, applauded, glo rified fur his persistent and powerful labors in behalf of the great rights of man and of humanity. A corrected public sentiment bestows an apotheosis upon the consistent, able and eloquent champion of rights once unpopular but no\V admitted to be sacred. Whatever may be said or thought of the allege! "fraud" which landed Rutherford Bircbard Hayes into the Presidency, he seems to be spending his retirement from public life with dignity and grace and is using a portion of his wealth in a beneficent manner for the public good. The following is what Col. Mahlon Chance of Ohio' says of Ex-President Hayes: "He inherited *?*200,UOO or §300,000 from his uncle, Mr. Bircbard, besides having saved considerable during his administration. He is a careful, prudent business man and devotes the principal por tion of his time to the management of the John F. Slater fund for the cause of educa tion in the South. He is also interested in the promotion of tree planting on the high ways, and is the patron of all historical and agricultural matters. The Methodists of Fremont are at present erecting a church at a cost of SI8,000; Mr. Hayes contributes one-fourth of the sum. He takes no part in pulitics, refuses to be interviewed, and at tends strictly to his own business." It is pleasing to note thut women are tak ing rank in high literary and editorial po.sir tions, as well as in other fields of intellectual activity, Large numbers are thus leaving the realms of more monotonous, unlntelleetual drudgery. To see women competing with men for positions in the higher walks of cultivated activity is pe culiarly gratifying, and their success is an incentive to others to go and do likewise. The "Hub" illustrates the capacity and capa bility of women for high culture and intellect ual employment. A Boston correspondent writes: "I doubt, if there is another city in which women have entered journalism in as large numbers as they have here. There is not a daily in the city and not a weekly of any importance that has not at least one woman and in several cases two or three women on tlie staff as reporters, editorial writers, critics or special writers." Rugby, Morgan county, Tennessee, is a comparatively new town, yet, for its healthi ness and the salubrity of the climate must have many attractions. It is 1,400 feet above the level of the sea on the Cumberland plateau. It is 221 miles directly south from Cincinnati, and 114 miles north of Chatta nooga. The mean temperature in summer is 72 degrees, and in winter 37 degrees. Water is abundant; the soil is good for gen eral purposes, but is especially adapted to fruits and vegetables. Sweet potatoes yield 300 bushels to the acre, Irish potatoes 250, and onions about 500, and so on. Consump tion is never known on the plateau. This place in the future is no doubt destined to be a considerable resort, both in Bummer and winter for health seekers, where expenses are not burdensome. In appealing to his congregation on a re cent Sabbath Father Clark of Baltimore said: "I remember a short time ago a collection was taken up for the benefit of the altar in a prominent Catholic church in Washington and in the boxes were found besides about $600 in money and a number of gold orna ments a diamond cross and a pair of valua ble bracelets belonging to the wife of a United States senator. The next day the lady called at the church and redeemed her pledges with a$100 note." Thus the virtuous, cultivated and pious of the sex, are ready for every "good word and work," and deem no self denial or personal sacrifice too great to ad vance the interests or welfare of our common humanity. The too prevalent vicious hurtful and de structive "cramming" system in vogue in our public schools is sadly iilustrited in the following: A sad case of over-study is re ported in the Boston schools. A girl of thir teen years of age died last week of brain fe ver, during the delirium of which, her father reports, she recited page after page of history, and struggled with the notes of music, pa thetically crying to her other parent: "O, mother, if I could only get these notes out of my head," The father returns to the city register, in his certificate of death: "Due to the Boston school system of cramming." The London Graphic says the Island of Cyprus has yielded a rich harvest to arch aeologists of late. The Cesnola collection of antiquities was an earnest of the treasures awaiting further laborers" in the same field; and within the last eighteen months two dis tinct series of excavations have been carried on by England, producing valuable fruit. Mr. George Hake was busy for the South Ken sington museum, and Herr Max Richter was at work privately for Mr. Newton of the British museum, both with great success, and their collections are now on exhibition in London. Oxfoud's university's income for the past year was £53,900, including £13,300 from estates, £4,000 from the press, £24,700 from fees ane* dues, and £11,300 from miscella neous sources. The expenditure was £51,267, including £4,200 for interest and sinking fund or loans. The .examination fees amounted to £5,000 and the payment to ex aminers came to £4,067. Proctorial fines only produced £267; degree fees, 9,000; univeriity dues, £8,100 matriculation fees, £1,900. Professors cost£8,063, and univer sity officers £4,5®. The London correspondent of the Dublin Freeman's Journal says: "I learn on good authority that the will of Mrs. Stapleton Bretherton, who recently bequeathed a sum of £400,000 to the Pope, is likely to become the subject of litigation. Some of the rela tives most nearly interested have already taken the initial step toward contesting the validity of the instrument on the ground of testamentary capacity.
