Because the family relation wltb all Its com

safely be legislated for by human enact

love for children. So did bis beloved dis

Inhumanity of every kind. The school sys
tem on tba contrary is tba sreature of law.
It owes Its exlstenoe to it, and as all human
law is conceded to be fallible, therefore it
is open for amendment always, and especi
ally when contrary to the teachings of our

A Whole Hotel Turned l'p
aido Down by a Sudden Cry
at jViglit that the ''Lord was
Coming." . ) i !
From tbe Dubuque Hernld.
The guests at tbe Lorlmer House br,d a
lively shaking up about five o'clock on Fri
day morning which lor a few minntes was'
of a serious nature In tbo great fright it pro
di'Ced, but which fortunately turned out to
be of,a harmless nature, and, to lonk buck
upon, rather ludicrous. For about five
minutes, however, times were lively, and
there was the fastest gutting out of bed tbat
has been witnessed in Dubuque since the
cold weather set in. Tbe cauae was a lady
who bad been seized wi'h insanity . during
tbe night, aod insanity of a religious nature
too; she stationed herself In the ball near
tbe bead of lfie stairs, and suddenly, In a
loud a-jd piercing voice, called everybody
to repentance, for tbe Day Star bad come,
saints, sinners and all. The lady is the
wife ot an old citizen of Platteville, Wis.
uuubiu. iter, nusoana is among tbe most
respectable citizens ol that place, and she is
described as a lady ef mote than ordluarr
ability and culture. It seems that ten or a
dozen years ago she was insane, and beeu
treated in an asylum, but bad recovered,
as was supposed, yars ago. On Tuesday
last aha came to Dubuque Mo make some
purchases, and while hers hail tha mtslor

were peculiar, but untniug was thought o
tbem at the lime. But her conversation
ran wholly to religion and Its kindred ton-
ice. After she had retired, it seems that
uer insanity came violently upon her
ouce more, and she got up, kindled her fire,
burned up a wood box ot wood, aud devoted
herself to writing incoherently upon the
subject uppermost iu her mind. At the
hour above mentioned, she lost all control
of betself, and going into the hall ia ber
night dress, she lifted up her vote-, crying
for all to seek repentance. "See," euye she,
"the Star of the Et appears; the wise men
are coming. Get ye ra.ty to meet litem.
