SIR EDWARD COKE.
Tbo nnnio of Coko orCook na now
pronounced, and occasionally ao wriW
ten in bis own times, is tumiliar to
every lawyer and to ninny that bold
no positiou in the profession of law. All
lawyers know somowhnt of Cuok, or
Coko, uponLiltlelon.altboUKbtow bavt)
ordoreud his work ; they know him also
thronrrb the many sententious max
ims, wilb which discussions upon
points of law have been enlivened;
they know him, or rather of him, by
his having the rvputnlion of being a
narrow. minded, bad-hearted pedant,
while enjoying the better reputation
of being a great jurist.
Many persons, ottlnido of tin profes
sion ot law, knew htm to b a perverse
and testy man, and wanting true ior
tilmlo anil dignity of cburacter. A
few have heard the name repeated, or
by their chanco reading have stum
bled on it.
liut of his inner life, of bis domestic
history, ol bis peculiar style ot dis
course, and of his yet inoru cocentrio
conduct, bow few are conversant wilb
it. The circumstances surrounding
bis lilo tiro deeply interesting, as ho
was in more senses than one a peculiar
man, and tbey have tbo rare virtue ot
being above the ordinary circumstan
ces which surround tbo average man.
Coko was preeminently a lawyer, or
as ho was tailed in his duy, "an oracle
of law," but, liko too many great law
yers, tie was so completely olio as to
have been nothing clnu. He hived tbo
iuw, and cured tor nothing eUu. lie
introduced it as "bis subject" at all
times and with great eagerness. He
hud a confirmed habit of declaiming
upon it wherever bo was, without con
sulting tbo wishes of others. lie was
also a great pedant. Ho would tell you
of caoes at Weatminster, wrangle
wilb you upon the most indillcretil
circumstances of bib; was not to be
convinced ol the disiuneo of place or
of tbo most Iriviut poitil ol conversation
but by dintol argument, if you men
tioned law, ho talked notably. If sci
once or nature, ho was silent Armed
with the law, great and many were
the wrongs eotnmittod, and olten in
stead of being the exponent of that
justice, wbir?h is i Use If llio groat stand
ing policy ol civil society, no was us
usurper. With him when earriud away
by voboment bate, tho Sumvmm jut
became the Summum Injuria. Ollicial
violence brutalixed, and political am
bition extinguished, every spark of na
ture's native gill, when be struck at
his victims, public or doineBtic. His
solitary knowledge, had perhaps dead
ened bis judgment in other studies.
Baconian philosophy was bis abhor
rence. The English systems of theolo
gy he despised. For him science had
no charms. Ol tho philosophy of ni
luro be knew nothing. The birds sang,
but not for him ; the leaves rustled un
der tho trees, but Cook took no notico.
Law only was his mistress, at whoso
shrine no man over wursbipud more
devoutly, and lir whom no man ever
had greater vunoration. He wus thor
oughly enamoured of her.
And yot his narrow spirit could
shrink with jealousy at the celebrity
obtained by those who indulged in moro
liherul pursuits thun bis own. The
errors ol the great are as inxtrucliveas
their virtues, "ond tho secret history of
tho outrageous lawyer may havo at
least the merit of novelty, although not
of panegyric
The limes in which Coke lived hail
much lo do in the formation of his
character. James tho 1st was but a
weak man, having no mind ot his own,
and a star-chuniber ruled bun. Every
thing at homo and abroad was mis
managed ; the w tr of linheinia wus at
its full height. The success of Sully
and Spinola wore flaunt.! to a greedy
and turbulent mob. Tho bouo ol
Austria, with gronstioss and vulgarity,
was holding levees on llio comment ;
the i'rotcstant religion was all but
dead, and tho cowardly polity of a
miserable King was the ohjuct ol (Jo
riidon at home and tbo contempt ot
tbo nations abroad. Such was the ago
in which Coko woro the wool sat k,and
was preserving order and ansimulating
differences. His mind, in such s timu,
was clear and consistent; ho held but
to one policy, and that was to invigo
rato a system which was beginning lo
show signs of decay, and to defend al
all baiards llio dignity untl Honor 01
tho robe which ho wore. W hen no
other man dared, bo cast bravadoes in
the teeth and face of the Mato, and
with bis sharp and acrid style, whip
ped the courtiers that followed the in
significant James. And yot this man
was moroso, uncharitable, haughty,
nsolcnt: and while bo defended and
bohllv asserted the riirhl of tho sub
ject, bad no other paternal notion of
tbo duties ot a wile and a child man
their obedience.
Coke, already enriched by his first
marriage, combined power with added
wealth in bla union with tho relict or
William Hutton, tho sister of Thomas,
then Lord, Uurleigh. He regretted
verv soon this marriage. Avariro and
ambition, whirh bad instigated Coke
lo form this alhanoo, punished thsir
cicaturo, by mating him to a sbo devil
shrew a woman who was as
haughty and as proud as himself, and,
if it were possible, as intractable.
Coke's performance in this marriage
does not reflect much rrodit upon him.
Tbe marriage was illegal, in that lio
was married without brums or license.
and in addition it was had at a time
hon the archbishop was vigilantly
prosecuting informal and irregular
marriarcs. Cuke, the lawyer, conde-
scended to plead Ignorance of the
laws; ho Imagined, with his habitual
and arrogant pride, that tho ranks of
the parties would protect mom, ana
that the law which ho administered
had their indulgent exception for tbe
oirat. Whltirilt, hnwerer, was an
ELD Isll
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
original, primiliro, Chriatiiih. He knew
no exceptions to the rulo, and he in
volvcdCoko, wilb all that wore present,
in a prosecution before the Jielesi
usticul Court. J. hoy escapod, by
technical course of pleading, the sever
est penalties. It was this same arch
bishop, who, on another occasion, to
show Uoke his appreciation ot bis over
bearing temper, sent him a Greek Tes
tament with this message, that "ho
bad studied the common law long
enough, and should henceforward study
the luw ol liou.
J bo stirring gemus oi Coko was
varied much by tbo atmosphere of the
Court. As a constitutional lawyer, he
was at times the stern asserter of the
kingly power, and again its intrepid
impugnor. liut when personal ambi
tion was at stake, he wielded his great
power against those who were obsta
cles to bis success! olten, the vory law
ho pleaded, was to biin, at another
time, usurped. 1 bo philosopher, Bacon,
and tha then Lord keeper ol the seal,
said to him in his admonitory letter :
"You make tho laws lean too much to
your opinion, whoroby you show your
self a legal tyrant." He cared noth
ing for the opinions of thoso Judges
with whom ho sat; ho knew he was
their superior, and when removed from
tho greut Council Board allurwards,
and Bacon took his place, he was more
humiliated by being compelled to ap
pear beforo these same Judges, than
by the studied insults of the members
of tho Board. It embittered bis soul,
and when ho appeared bo manfully
stood np against tho King and the
King's favorites, and not one of these
men opened his lips to reply to him.
Sometimes tho power was great
enough to bond even his proud spirit,
as in tbo Peachman trial, when, after a
stubborn resistance, he finally gave his
consent and tho old mun was racked to
extort c ititessioiis which wirj not given,
and eventually they released biin from
prison after wasting away his life
there. He was an innocent man, and
Coko knew it.
In 1011!, King James dismissed Coke
from the Council Hoard as he suys
"ml corrcviowm, not "ad itcstructionan,
and alturwttids spoke of him with so
many good words, as it bo meant to
hung li i in with a silken linker. In this
temporary alienation ot the King's fa
vor, Coko betook himself to thinking
how he could rcguin iu At lost he
camo to Ibo conclusion that it would
involve, a doincstio sacrifice. The King
was now in Scotland. Lord Bacon sut
at tho head of affairs and was on terms
not tho most pleasant with Secretary
Winwixs, whom Coko persuaded to
aHsist him in marrying hisdattghlor to
I he favorite's eldest brother, Kir John
Villiers. Before, Coko had scornfully
refused this mutch, but now ambition
was his master, and tho poor girl bo
came an instrument to satisfy a des
perate and wily politician. Bacon op
posed it; tbo plot wns, to him, certain
ilestrnction. lie wrote a letter lo tho
King. Tbo King replied by calling
him "Mr. Bacon," with tho suggestion
lo intend to hiB own afTairs. Buck
ingham was inniiltcd ; his wife raged ;
bis daughter fled the bouse. However,
all this and the violence to which the
towering spirits of tbo conflicting par
ties proceeded, did not avail against
Coke. He, armed with the law, and
what was equally potent at that
time, tho King's favor, forced open
tbe door, took possession of hia daugh
ter's person, and confined bor in a safe
plate. The mother also was imprison
od, and Coke, who in tho proceeding
year, to the world's surprise, was si
lent in the presence of his wife, now,
to employ bis own words, "got upon
bis wings again," and the haughty and
insolent lady becatno submissive and
quiet. Law thundered from his lipi
to justify the deed, and law won. Yot
we cannot blame Coke for this act. as
but a littlo while before she had aban
doned him. Sho had soir.od all the
goods ot tho Chief Justices' house and
removed them, and all this wben the
statesman had fallen from bis high es
tate. At llolborn and at Stoke he was
left with empty houses and no com
forter. At all times sho was arrogant
and offensive. His acting under these
circumstances loses much of what
would othorwiso appear to be wanton
cruelty, and it was but the natural re
venge for the tortured acknowledg
ment that his "crushed heart hath been
forced to yield to moro thun hoover
meant." Finally he released horfrom
confinement; tho daughter was mar
ried, and Coko was again at tbe head
of the Council Board. Lady Coke
guvo a reception, but Coke was not
present. . Tbo daughter lived in misery
with tho loan she despised, and looked
upon him as the batoftil object ot a
forced union, and gavo vent to hor before-contracted
passions ; became looso
in conduct, and finally was divorced.
This much lor his doinesiio life.
fbe style of Coke's addresses at tbo
bur was of a 'kind that has not died
out with our moro modern lawyors.
Ho was given to railing, and invoctive
of the bitlerest nature. 1 do not know
that 1 cttii more forcibly set forth his
vituperative style, than by tho follow
ing dialogue. Raleigh had been ar
raigned lor an obscure conspiracy ; the
Attorney General had tampered with
tho case, and the hero ot his ago was
Indicted. Cecil, by an ambidextrous
policy, betrayed him Into tho hands of
James, and Coko prosecuted him. 1

This stylo waa prevalent with the
lawyers for a long period. It was re
vived by the notorious Judgo Jeffreys,
but was finally extinguished by the
bench of Judges in tho reign of William
and Anne. They taught a due respect
even to criminals, and settled that
great principle of law, that "crim

THE IMPROVED KENTUCKY
SHEEP.
It is a matter of exporicneo with
Bheep-brcodera and fanners, that the
most profitable khoep are those of cross
bred races. By judicious, or what is
greatly moro probahlo, fortuitous or
lucky crossing, the most profitable
Kuropean sheep have boon produced.
Tho Oxford-downs, tho Hampshire
downs, tho Leicester, and oven the
supposed purely bred Cotawolds and
Soulhdowns ot England, as they exist
at llio present time, bavo all been more
or less erosseil wilb one or anotbor ot
these broods. Tbo first three named
aro truly cross-breds, having been pro
dticed from the union of different races.
Tho last two have been "refined" by
mixtures of other blood, and have
doubtless been wonderfully improved
thereby. In Franco tbe Leicester Me
rino is a vory successful cross-bred
sheep. In Germany, the Cotswold
llcrino, and theSotitbdown-MorinoaVo
also successful instances ol tbe crossing
of breeds. In Australia, tho crossing
of established broods is a matter of
prom ising oxporimenl,and there is a pro
bability, that ere long a breed may bo
produced, that will bo more permanent
ly suited to tho peculiar necessities of
tbe country and climato, than any old
established, but foreign breed. It ia
equally truo with regard to the origin
ot the American-Merino, and all these
instances go to ahow, that it is easier
and more profitablo to procure a satis- j
factory race ol sbeep by crossing breeds,
than by a course of acclimatizing a
single raoe by close broeding. The
fact Is, that almost overy established
breed, has gained its valuable qualities
in a comparatively narrow and closely
bounded locality. The quality of soil
and water, and peculiarities of climate,
bavo bad much to do with forming tho
character of the breed, and when by
emigration, difference in these neces
sarily occur, tho established character
cannot bo maintained, but almost uni
versally rapidly deteriorates. There
are isolated instances, in which the re
Bult of tho chungo has been favorable,
and the character of tbe breed has im
proved in tbo change ; aa for instance,
in the case of the American-Merino
among sheep, and the Jersey and Short
horn among cattle. In these instances,
the influences of our climato and soils
have boon remarkably tavorable, and
the descendants ot imported animals
bavo greatly surpassed their ancestors
in valuable qualities. It is no deroga
tion to the skill of American breeders
to say this ; on the contrary, it is by
their skillful management that those
influences have been made to tell ao
favorably. There aro amply sufficient
examples of failure, that could be point
ed out, to show that it is not every
breeder hero who succeeds, and that,
although our climate may ho a help,
yet it is not alone sufficient tor success.
With regard to sheep, there is yet an
extensive field lor enterprise, in tho
way of breeding what may eomo, in
time, to bo American races. Wo havo
a wonderful diversity of soil, climate,
locality, and pastumgo. Wo have tbe
hills and mountains ol Wales and Scot
land ; the rich meadows, the seaside
pastures, nnd "downs" of England ; the
plains of Hungary ; the Sleics of Rus
sia ; tho dry pastures, both hill nnd
pluin, of Hpain ; the arid plains of Aus
tralia. All theso ate within our terri
tory, und within our borders overy
race of sheep, noted for its valuable
floeco, or acceptable mutton, can find
a counterpart, it tune ana axill aro
turned towards the business ol breed
ing such as may be suited to each lo
cality. As an insunco of a worthy at
tempt at the production ol a native
raco, suited to a very peculiar locality,
viz., the rich Blue-grass region of Ken
tucky, wo notico the Improved Ken
tucky Hhoop. which have boon bred by
Mr. Robert Scott, of Frankfort, Ky.,
sinoe 1832, or during 45 years. In
a communication, lor tho whole ot
which wo rogrot wo havo not space,
Mr. Scott writes as follows,
"The grand dmidonitum for tho West
and the South, is a sheep ol a largo
size, heavy floeco of medium wool, ear
ly maturity, active habit, and with a
constitution strong enough to subsist,
in tho large pastures and open wood
lands and prairies, both during summer
and winter, without shelter or stull
teodtng, whk.'h last will always be ro
ecrvodlor other animals ol greater
value, and which require greater caro.
"While all the various and excellent
English breeds have their peculiar mer
its of form, nnd flesh, and flcoco, and
will always be In demand fur them, yet
any breed, which will possess tho above
qualities in the highest degreo, can not
fail to stand tho highest in the estima
tion of practical shoep raisers. Theso
qualities may be largely, if not fully,
combined in tho samu animal, by blend
ing tbe different breeds which possess
them in the highest dogroo. In brood
ing my flock 1 have, in turn, used all
of the most popular English breeds, at
different times ; procuring new rams
every two years, seleeting such aa poa
sessod, in the highest degree, the qual
ities which I wished to transplant, and
choosing lor each male the females
which were most in need of thoso quali
ties, or others which would develop
them most highly. Since tba early
Saxooy cross, I have been to no horn
ed sheep; and 1 have always nsed tbe
rama of the pareat blood which 1 could
obtain, as, in them, tbe qoslitios which
1 wished to transplant, were most deep
ly imbedded, and would therefore most
likely he transmitted to their offspring.
REPUBLICAN.
Thus it appears that tbo 'Improved
Kentucky' aro about as purobred as
other popular breeds; and tho more
especially, as they havo in them but
one (tbo original) crop of native or
common sheep, all other blood in them
being called pure. To produce the
greatest Uniformity, and to oblitorato
all differences of form, fleece, or flesh,
I have several timos bred to my own
'Improved Kentucky' rams, selecting
them for tho ewes so as to most suc
cessfully accomplish tho desired objuvt ;
and the flock is as uniform as the flock
of any other breod.

American Agriculturist
STICK to'rilE FARM.
The tendency of young men roared
in agricultural pursuits to seek somo
other vocation with the hope of better
ing their condition, has been growing
alarmingly during tbe last fifteen years,
and the bitter fruits of. tho orror aro
gathered to day by the enforced idle
ness and consequent suffering of thous
ands who have mistuken their calling.
It was a natural error for young farm
ers to commit when eoso and luxury
hoc mod to be within the roach of all as
tbe diseased prosperity ot inflated val
ues and rock lens speculation reached
the humblest homos. Thoro was no
class that escaped the poisonous ntmos
phoro that paralyzed frugul industry
and excited dazzling hopes which nov
or can be realized in any condition ol
society. Tho plodding ways of tho once
contented youth, and idleness, profliga
cy and olten dissipation insennbly as
served their mastery. Then the sud
den and unexpected gains of the farm
er helped along in the work of demor
alizing tho sober industry that alono
can givo tho wealth of worldly goods
hand in hand with tho unspeakable
wealth of contentment. His lands were
apparently doubled in value; his boun
tiful crops commanded fabulous prices
in the markets, and luxury sowed tares
in the fields of economy and thrift.
Tho young farmer must bavo bis filly
for the sadillo and his carriage and
trappings for the road. When posses
sed, the love of display bred idleness;
idleness becamo tbo parent of unrest,
and unrest studied for some vocation
that promised sudden riches or political
honors and their attendant luxuries.
Tho country grew tame and uninterest
ingdull, monotonous and unpalatable.
It was plow and sow and reap and
thresh Irom year to year ; it was work
in all seasons, and wealth camo slowly,
whilo In the towns and cities fortunes
seemed to bo mado as if by mngio, and
the poor of yesterday reveled in wealth
to day. Thousands and tens of tboua
andsofonco industrious young men
were thus insonsibly lured from their
farms and tbo contented and requited
industry of thoir fathers to Ventura in
tbe breakers ot speculation or to dream
ot wealth and luxury in tho cities. In
the tide of speculation, when money
was unvalued, because easily possessed,
many ot those who were thus misled
Boomed to prosper; but oven then the
vast preponderance had to accept fail
ure and sorrow as tho fruition of their
dreams. But now, when the stern rn.
ali lies of tho inexorable rovulsion of all
business back to tho truo standard of
values, confronts them, and distress is
felt and bankruptcy iacrashinglhrough
all circles, tho most unfortunate of all
is the Ill-starred agriculturist, who lias
wandered Irom his friendly and gener
ous fields to feast on the husks of dis
appointment. Young men are tempted
from their farms by tho few instances
of conspicuous success attained by
those who loft their own ranks lo bat
lie with the world. Tbey are forget
ful, however, that only the fortunuto
are noted, whilo the hundreds who full
by the wayside and strow tho paths of
tho sitccosslul thickly with shattered
idols and withered hopes, aro not among
those who aro horaldod to the world.
As a rule, not one in a acoro of thoso
who leave agricultural and mechanical
pursuits for tho supposod easier life of
commerce or speculation, oscaos pdisap
pointmont or uttor failure, nnd tho few
who can claim to have fulfilled thoir
dreams, sigh for tho contont and sub
stantial prosperity of tho uncomely
homos they descried in tho wayward
ambition of youth. To day there is
actual and almost universal distress in
every chnnnel of industry and trade
outsiilo of the tillers of the soil. Tbey
have their lonsnns also ; thoy have been
taught that simulated wealth is not
prosperity ; that the riches which come
with inflated prices perish as speedily
as they come, and that tho oldtimo
frugality and steady labor is iho only
true fountain of tho wealth that defies
the mutations of trade, tbe revulsions
of values and tbo gnawing of broken
pcaco, Tho world has no escape from
tho immutable law of (iod that man
shall labor, and all appearances of ex
ceptions to tbo manduto of tho (front
Law giver aro but mockorios. The
idler is a curse to himsolf and to his
fellows wherever ho is to bo found, and
the most successful in life would appal
the day laborer wilb the truthful story
of tho ceaseless lalror that is tho price
of his achievement. Let none bo de
luded with tho dream that thero aro
paths to wealth and happiness which
do not lio through the rugged way of
toil, and tho labor that gives plenty
and peace as its reward is not to he
discarded for the fickle fortune that
loads tke unwary into tho bitterest dis
apwiiitment. Stick to the farm ; it ia
tho generous friend of industry, and its
harvests ever follow seed time amidst
all Ih convulsions and disasters of
speculation anil trade. Philadelphia

Tho Alliance says: Human nnturo
has not only a beautiful samcnessabout
it, but also a painful rosemblanco of
present and past. Uut ol the eartb
comes regularly a supply of generals
and statesmen and Inventors and toil
ers, and with almost frightful regular
ity a supply of thieves, murderers, and
?;mcral villains. It seems that no
iirm of civilization or of religion ia
ablt to limit or al least cut off the sup
ply of robbers and beggars and assas
sin. As nature at last become weary
of growing the same plant on the same
ground, and sends her briar and this
tle to take posHOssion ol the valley
and bill which have long grown the
peach or the grape, ao ahe love to ring
change in humanity and to turn from
th production ol poet and heroes to
the vile task of setting np In bnsinrw
a pack of midnight marauders anl
freebooter. Tho man who wrote "My
Summor in a Garden," act forth the
fact that nature love to see a hot con
flict, and henoo order into each gar-
don or plantation a squad of Canada
thistlos or a grand army of "puitly."
Any observer must perceive mat in
it dealing with man nature follows
tba same law, and plant bore a pui
losopher and there a robber ; hero a
poet and thero a cut-throat; here a
Madonna, there a dirty tramp ; hore a
Samaritan, there a chicken-thief or a
pirate. In harmony with this law of
things, brigand have appeared in our
own America.
In the early year of all our oldest
readers, the house in the country was
nevor locked. All day Sunday whilo
the family were all away at church
service, which continued from morn
ing until evening, tbe farm-bouse was
simply shut; and all night long all
through the summer time the windows
wore open, and were only a few foot
above tbo good mother eartb. in that
good olden time if a school girl met
any man on her way lo the log school
house, it was either old Mr. Jones on
his way to mill, or it was Undo Epb
looking for sheep which had not come
home for salt sinco "last Saturday
'twas a week." All knew all, and no
one feared any one. But nature was
holding tho tramp in the back ground.
Mature loves conflict. Tbo garden
must be sown with weeds. Tho farm
house, the school-girl, tho helpless wo
men, tbe family must havo its onomy.
The brigand must come.
Theologians explain all these things
by the word depravity. Adam ato an
apple, and all this followed. That is a
very general statement ot the case. If,
however, the eating of that applo im
paired the humun constitution, yot it
must bo confessed that there aro condi
tions under which tho latent disease
become active again alter a repose of
generation. As meadow lands awaken
ibe sleeping energies of a hay fever,
and as high mountain air, which can
not carry foreign elements, compel the
seeds of the malady to lie in inaction,
so thero aro conditions which make
the "applo" which Adam ato aot very
powerfully, almost like an Asiutic
cholera, upon tho mental and spiritual
and physical man. A long war which
turns young men away from trades
and industry, and which also hardens
tho nature; hard times, which make
tho strugglo for bread a difficult one ;
immigration, which brings to a now
land tho worst citizens from old State ;
tho growth of cities, which is always
a growth of temptation and crimo ; all
these agencies como in to make the
scene change and to placo overy coun
try home ut tho mercy of that itiner
ant monster, the brigand.
With the growth of crime the pcaco
regulations of cities have become every
f ear more strict, and this has compet
ed many criminals to fly from the eye
and club of tbe police and ply their
avocation among tho isolated homos ol
the whole country. Tho homes being
often a mile apart, and the fact that
the male members of the houso will be
almost certainly away from tbe bouse
in working hours, offer the modern
American brigand peculiar invitation
to leave city life; and that they are
accepting tho invitations is made evi
dent by every day'a report. IS'ot only
in Pennsylvania, but from one end of
the land to tbe otbor, the brigand wan
dors, differing from the brigand in
Italy or Mexico in dress only, and not
in bloody atrocity. Tho railway bos
mado tho brigand a footman rather
than a mounted robber with boot and
spur, and has made him assume the
rags of a beggar rather than dash along
in military trappings; but witbin, the
Mexican cut-throat, the Spanish ban
dit, and our own brigand aro one and
the same personage
And now every isolated home stands
exposod to them. Tho path of the
school girl has along it a new enemy
little belter than tbo red man of tbe
former century, and the mother who
is alone in hor bouse with hur littlo
ones may a well recall Ihe day ot her
groat grand-mother and keep a muskot
ready, not for tho Indian, but for tho
brigand. She must shooL
It is not easy to exaggerate this evil.
Tho life and person of each daughter
and mother aro worthy of all the
warnings that can be given, and of all
tho preparations that can bo made
aguinst such foes. Tho homes that
woro left alone by tho father and sons
should be no longer trusted thus to
goodness of tho times. Tho tramp is
about. Tbo school girl should no lon
gor go along her path alono singing
und swinging her basket as in former
times. Tbo limes havo changed, and
whilo much is for tho better, much is
also for tbo worse. The nation, whilo
it is strong in tho department of in
dustry and educatiun, and is marked
by a progress of tho majority, is wenk
in llio work of detecting and punish
ing a criminal. Against the criminal
tramp each bouse must be its own
guardian, at least for tho present. It
may bo that tbo deeds of those crimi
nals will soon arouse each Stato, and
that all theso itinerants will bo placed
upon government farms, and in gov

AMERICAN ARD EUROPEAN
WURKMEX.
It was a matter to stir one's patriot
ic pride, but not less to move one's pity,
to observo tbe commotion in business
circles in Switzerland, as tho reports
of tho Swiss commissioners lo the Phil
adelphia Exhibition wore made public.
Affairs were not in a cheerful stuto at
the time.- Tbe "hard times" that had
begun in America were already sorely
lell in the centre ol Europe. Product
tion waa slackened in all the factories,
and tbe values of many lavorito invest
ment had shrunk to one-half. When
the report of M. Favre-Perruton Ame
rican watch-making was read to crowd
ed meetings of watch-makers at Neu
cbatol and Geneva, tbe general expres
sion waa that of abject despair. . Work
was suspended for months on the cost
ly building of tho School of Watch
making founded by tho Geneva gov
ernment. A commission was appoint
ed by the cantonal legislature to in
qniro .what now industry could be
introduced in place ol that which must
honccforth be abandoned to American
com pet i torn.
Among those interested in the other
leading manufacture of Switzerland
the silk factories ol Basle and Zurich
there were like searching of heart.
Tbia same report of M. lavre-Perret
warned hi fellow-Ciliaena that th ailk
business was a aura to bo run away
with by the Yankees a Ihewaleb bus
inesa. Tho wonder in both case is
that fact which bad long been accu
mulating, and which bad never been
hid in a oornor, shnnld have takon any

has been dwindling regularly, and ia
now reduced to one sixth of what it
was only four year ago. Hi obvious
that tho next step fur tho American,
after supplying their own market, i to
com polo in other markets.
The production of tho Swiss dairies

are pnzeu in an tue marKeis oi i-.uruj'c.
Last January, M. Grcnier, at a meet
ing of tho Agricultural Society of tbo
Canton de Vaud, informed hi associ
ates to what extent the dairy produc
tions of tho groat establishments ol the
Northern States and Canada were over
flowing the homo market. "Thoro aro
thousands ot theso establishments," he
said, "with capital amounting to 1 25,
000,000, already producing to the
amount ol 131,000,000 annually. The
export of choose was 38,000,000 pounds
in 1803, and 06,000,000 pounds in 1874.
Tbe export of butter has grown to 25
000,000 pounds a year. Tbe competi
tion ia gotting formidable, for the man
ufacture of cheese has been so perfected
in America that, unless wo look out, it
will bo utterly impossible for us to
compete with it."
A vory largo dealer in leather, M.
Bally, declares thai the same is truo of
this article. "European no longer
control the leather market. Prices
aro now set by Amorica. cry little
tannery feel the influence oi the Im
portations from America; ourown ex
portation to tbe New World has dwin
dled almost to nothing."
At first thought it was supposed that
tho surporior advantages of tbe Ameri
can manufacturer arose from bis use
of machinery for operation that con
tinue in tho Old World to be wrought
out by handwork. It this wore all, or
nearly all, it would be an easy matter
to import or to imitate tbe machinery
there are no patent law in Switzer
land and, by combining capital in
great establishments, to go oo with
their business with Ibo double advan
tage ol the low wages and abundant
skilled labor of the Old World and the
organization and appliance of the
New. "
One eminent American house, how
ever, with ample capital, hud made this
hopeful but exiensive experiment. The
finest business edifice in Genera was
built, three or four years ago, by A mcri
cans, and stocked with the best Ameri
can watch-making machinery. Tho
most skillful Geneva watch-makers
wero so ugnt lor at nign wagos-mgn,
that is, lor Switzerland but low for
Amorica and the world looked for a
splendid success. But the hcaulitul
building is now let out in lodgings, and
tho machines aro advertised liir sulo.
Evidently tho secret of American suc
cess lay in something else.
1 have followed tbo conjectures and
proposal of the Swiss newspapers on
this point with great interest. They
demand patent laws for the encourage
ment of invention, schools of technical
instruction for artisans, relief from the
interruption of work by militia service,
and other governmental palliatives; but
tbey do not touch too main point ot
the superiority of tbe American manu
factories, and that is t htperional tupcri
oritij of the American workman.
Tho secret is revealed in an extraor
dinary pamphlet by M. Bally, whom
we nave- already quoted, and who is
tho proprietor of tho groat boot and
shoe factory at Schoenenworth, in Ger
man Switzerland lbe pamphlot Is
printed both in German and in French,
and baa mado a profound impression
abroad. It gives, I will not say the
impressions, but the shrewd and care
ful observations, of a practical man on
his visit to tbe United Slates during the
Centennial year. Tbe titlo is sensa
tional Garde a Youtl ("Look out
for Yourselves") but tho matter of it
is solid.
Our travolor's first wonder In Amor
ica is to sco time much is made nf a man,
in a business point of view. Ho gets
into a atago on Broaiiway, "tbo most
crowded thoroughfare in the world,"
and is struck by the contrivance of fare
box and door strap, which enables one
man to do the business of three on a
Paris line. In a horse-car he admires
the bell-punch, which save tho com
pany tbo salary of a controlcur, and doc
his work moro effectually. On a rail
road train he is amazed to find only
one conductor, and nothing of the
army ot watchmen who on Kuropean
roads stuiul guard at every curve and
crossing. He recalls the starting of a
Swiss train : each one ot a series ot con
ductors cries successively, " Fertig ! "
thon Iho chef de train calls, "rortr
then bo whistles ; then the boll ring ;
thon tho locomotive whistles ; finally
tbo train starts. In America, tho con
ductor surveys the whole train. When
all is ready, bo makes a sign to the
engineer, and off sho goes. It is the
traveler's business to know the timo ot
starting, and if ho gel left onco, ho is
likely to tako bolter care another time.
All this by way of howing how,
everywhere in Amorica, each man'
labor is mado lo go as tar as possible.
You find tho same distinction between
the manufactories of the Old World and
and those of the Now. "In Kuropo,
as business increases, tbe proprietor en
larges his establishment ; in dull times
huconlracts it. When competition com
pels, lie improves his machinery, so fur
as ho is driven to. It wages aro too
high, ho moves bis concern into tho
country, or lo somo region where manu
factures do not abound. The American
pursues anot hor course. He contrives
to incrcuso the amount of production.
His question is how to got tbo utmost
out ol his bunds and his machinery.
Ho does not delay improving his tools
until bo is driven to it, if the improve
ment is going to save time and money.
If wages are high, ho compensates him
self by mean of improved arrange
ment. It is not the incio inachino
that give tbo American hi advanlsgo
both in quantity and in quality, it i
tho way ho use it." Leonard Bacon,
in llarper't Magazine for September.
TuiCiHCt Dodo g. A simple mind
ed man wrote to the Burlington Hawk-
eye to know whether a Christian can
go lo a circus. 1 be editor banded tbe
inquiry over to that solemn individual
who watches the bedside ot an invalid

swered tho anxious inquiry: "Why,
yes, bo ran go to tho circus easily

where the shoo pinches. You see a

And I slept and dreamed again, and

llrigbam Young's will wa read a
few days since in tho presence of all
his wives and children and a few
triMe Ilrighavvt Young Jr.. George
O. Cannon and Albert Carngion are'
named as his executors. Tbo estate ia
largely real estutc, and is probably
worth $2,000,000. The will waa made
four years ago, and the youngest child.
born of Mary Van Cott, was then throe
year old. Brigham Young waa tbe
fulhor of fifty-six children, and left
seventeen wives, sixteen ions and
twenty-eight daughters. Tho will aim
to make an cquilablo division of the
property between all the wive and
children, with no preference to any.
Most of them have already had some
thing deeded to them. On this a valu
ation was set and it is to be charged to
tbo recipients as part of their share,
though not neccssurily at the valuation
be put on it. That is to bo equitably
adjusted wbon the estato ia divided,
upon the youngest child coming of age,
Meanwhile the incomo is to go to the
various mothers according to the num
ber of their children, and they can
withhold it if the children behavo badly.
All aro provided for as far as their
present needs aro concerned. Deceased
held many interests in trust for the
church and for individuals. His oxecu-
tor aro directed to turn them over
firoperly. 'The church is forbidden by
aw lo bold more than $50,00(1 world
of property ; and so it was largely held

friends will not entertain tbe notion
that ho ever abused that trust. Thero
is no inventory of the property on the
estate, and it is widely scattered. With
tho country prosperous and full of
money, it would be worth twice tho
above valuation. Recently Brigham
Young endowed an academy with lands
at Provo and another at Logan, the
latter with 12.000 acres. He bad de
termined to endow one at Salt Lake,
but be did not live long enough to do
A person present at tbe reading
of the will says it seemed to be vory
satisfactory to all concerned. It will
be probated as soon as possible, it will
be wonderful if somo dissatisfaction
does not creep in witbin the next thir
teen ycore.
Oil. Ii VLLIOS ! B OILOS I
A correspondent of one ol our ex
changes, who has made a pilgrimage to
thut oil Mecca, tbo liuilion district, in
Venango county, describes the morals
of tho placo in this way :
1 now live not in the wickedest but
tho most lawless place in America.
Springing into existence within a year,
ullio1 ,,a, popuation of five or ,ix
tll0ua,(J m0Hty mcn-the
roughest, tho most irreligious, most
immoral, and most licentious of tho
world. It is a placo where evory con
ceivable inducement is openly pre
sented to seduce tho innocent and un
sophisticated, or to beat tho uninitiated
when bucking tho "tiger;" wbero
every street-corner is decorated with
a gambling table ; whore every chink
in tbo street-wall is graced with a
chuck-luck ; where a pavillion tbealro
may render a choice play Sunday even
ing to a crowded house, and advertise
by having its brass band out playing
an hour or two before opening ; wbere
base ball matches are played on Sun
day afternoon, viewed by a couple
of hundred spectators, while a minister
exhort in a small out-of-the-way ball
to less than a scoro within hearing dis
tance ; without a licensed house, it is a
place wbero every other front room is
an open gin-mill, where the joyful
tanglefoot is dished nut to the thirsty
and whore the weary are at rest;
whero tho bewitching strains from
Terpsichore' dishonored halls, known
as " Free and Kasios," lure and lull tbe
unrestrained. All these are as open
and convenient as tho vending of wares
in your roligioua and moral village.
Thus all go on hero, the good and bad
in common herd, all ravenous lor tbe
almighty dollar. Good people un
blushingly wink at the people and evil
doings surrounding them. Almost
overy crime in the code, aa well aa
overy oflenso in tho category of sin, is
of a common placo, of every day occur
rence Thus may be described Bullion,
the last and liveliest of tho Pennsylva
nia oil towns tho most lawless place
in Amorica.
A CoolReuuist. When Sir Samuel
liaker, the African traveler, wns tak
ing leave ol Kamrasi, King of Vnyoro,
thut potentate asked him, as a partic
ular fuvor to leave Lady Baker behind.
This cool request raised Sir Samael's
ire and in high indignation ho told the
King that if ho over mado such a re
quest again he would shoot him. Lady
Baker, loo, who overheard and under
stood tho offer, fell that a word from
her would not be out oi placo, and
gavo the monarch a pioce of her mind
in the strongest languago ahe could
command. 1 1 is Majesty for a whilo
was greatly astonished, being uncon
scious of having given any ofVonco. At
last, seeing that his guests were really
angry, bo said, in a deprecating tone,
"Don't bo angrv. I did not mean to
offend you by asking for your wife. I
will give you a wife it yon want one,
and 1 thought you would have no ob
jections to givo mo yours. It is my
custom to givo to my visitor pretty
wives, and 1 thought you would liko
to exchange. Don't make a fuss about
it; If you don't liko to do as other do
there an end of it."
A Second Love ArrAiH. The Beav
er Argus relate tho following : "Seven
teen years ago, Mr. and Mr. J. T. Wil
son, of Bridgeport, Beaver county, Pa.,
concluded to dissolve partnership. Mr.
Wilson went West, and whon toe war
broke out enlisted in the Union army.
In the meantime, hia wife secured a di
vorce No comma nication passed be
tween the two until a few month ago.
A few day ago Wilson returned to
Bi idL'i'irarl. went to see his former wife.
fi ll in lore, a minister was sent for and
a marriago ceremony wa again per
formed. 1 hey expect to nave better
luck this time."
Mr. Partington insult the doctor,
" Yes, doctor, and a few day previous
feeling somewhat predisposed, and hav
ing a grouping pain in the abandon, I
took some patient medicine, and I lct-1
convicted that it seriously repaired my
constituent. I suppose I'm of an exora
ble temperature, for I'm worrying evor
since Betsy Smith died of the congre
gation of the lungs, or some tonsonrtl
affection ; but, to toll th truth, 1'vs
always dreaded an internal rumor."
A "commercial" traveler, by mis
take, handed a merchant, upon whom
ho had called, a portrait of bia be
trothed instead ol his business ran),
saying he represented that establish
ment. The merchant examined it
carefully, remarked that it waa a fine
establishment, and returned It to the as
toiiiahod and blushing traveler, saying:
" I hope that yon will noon be ad
mitted into partnership."
Remember that Friday, October 8th
I the last day on which lo pay State
and county tax.
