The Legislature proposes to ad
journ in December.
A woman challenged Bob Ingersoll
to a discussion. No, I thank you.
The surplus distribution question
may be settled by Congress repeal
ing the internal revenue system.
Co5ore.su will convene on the first
Monday in December. The Senate
is Republican. The House is Dem
ocratic. A great struggle is going on be
tween through railroad lines to get
mastery of the shortest through rout
from the west to New York.
Ravdaxl, Carlisle, Cox and other
Democrats, are making things lively
among the Democracy by their con
test for the Speakership of the lower
House of Congress.
The Legislature proposes to ad
journ on the 5th day of December.
They propose to take the pay of 10
per day for the extra session. It
will take a half million to pay them.
Bohtox has a sensation in the fact
a wife aged forty years, is asking a
divorce from her husband aged sev
enty years, for the reason that she
caught him hugging her house maid.
The white ant is eating the tim
bers in the Massachusetts state
hoube. It is feared that the wood
work has been so worked through
by the ant that the building is no
longer a safe one.
General ShEkmax, who went to
New York some days ago, was invit
ed to accept the honors of a public
reception, which he declined, prefer
ring the comforts of a quiet coming
and departure rather than the honors
of a pompous display.
Governor Pattisox went on a hunt
to the woods of Columbia and Brad
ford counties, a few days before the
election. Since the election, the Ev
erett Press suggests, that, "the Gov
ernor should take another hnnt after
sap suckers and porcupines.'
Befobe the election almost every
Democratic paper in the Common
wealth, had a line or two standing
which read, "Turn the rascals out."
They meant the Republicans. Sinoe
the election they have taken the sen
tence in and are ashamed of their
slang.
ForaTEEX inches of snow fell in
Canada last Friday, and in some
parts of the northwest the thermom
eter' was down to 40 degrees below
zero. At Bismark, Dakota, the ther
mometer went down to 30 degrees
below zero. It was no wonder that
it was cold bere among the hills of
Pennsylvania.
Tbe Philadelphia Record says, a
proposition to regulate the pay of
members of the Legislature by the
time of their actual attendance at
the Capitol in the performance of
their duties was hooted down in the
House viva voce. Only two mem
bers voted for it When the jolly
representatives ask the people to
send them back to Harrisburg no
doubt there will be similar acclaim
of dissent. Times go by turns.
It is said that Secretary Folger,
Treasurer of the United States Treas
ury, will, in his forth coming report
recommend the retirement of all
trade dollars offered the Government
in exchange for the standard silver
dollar. The mass of the people will
say amen to that That will be giv
ing protection to the people that
hold the trade dollar. A protection
that Government is doubly bound to
give because it coined and gave per
mission for the issue of the trade dol
lar. Ox Friday, Nov. 16th, the Phila
delphia Times stated that the mem
bers of the House got frightened
last night for fear the Senate would
block the half million grab and re
considered their resolution of final
adjournment. There can be but one
interpretation of this action, and
that is that the House proposes to
hold the Senate in session until its
tn -dollars a-day measure is agreed
to. This makes the date of final ad
journment aa uncertain as the com
pletion of the Eeely motor. There
appears to be absolutely no limit to
the greed or nselessness of- the low
er branch of the Legislature.
The Philadelphia Record says it is
settled by a decision of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania that when a
passenger goes into a sleeping-ear,
and occupies a berth and pays for it,
the valuables and portable property
he may have in his possession, after
he is asleep, are in the charge of the
sleeping-car company. It is bound
to exercise a reasonable vigilance in
looking out for the welfare of the
passenger, who is no longer in a con
dition to look out for himself. If
the passenger is robbed under such
circumstances the company mast foot
the bill The decision does not seem
to be unreasonable. The charge for
the sleeping-car service is large
enough to cover the cost of insur
ance against robbery.
The marriage question is always
an important question, but the ques
tion of compatibility with the que
tion of marriage is said by some peo
ple to be the larger question of the
two. Without stopping to examine
either one, or both of the questions,
it may be stated that 'marriage for
those who live in the Siberian "mines
has peculiar features. When a pris
oner desires to undertake it the on
ly thing necessary for him to do U
to send in an application to the over
seer, who forthwith allots him a wife.
Three days of probation are then al
lowed, and if any incompatibility of
temper seems likely to arise the ap
plicant may receive twenty-five lashes
and another wife. This process is
continued until he gets a wife to
suit him."
Tbe North American remarks: Our
Legislature is evidently determined
to make the most of it opportuni
ties. Its members probably have a
kind of presentment that this is the
the last time they will have a ehance
to get their hands into the bag, and
they propose to play the great grab
game for all it is worth. There is
nothing mean about them so far as
they Lave gone. Having voted them
selves ten dollars a day, Sundays in
cluded, for doing nothing, they gen
erously propose to give those who
helped them therein a little share in
the great divide. The clerks of the
House and Senate are to be taken
care of, and $ 16.380 of the people's
money has been appropriated for that
purpose. It is true that these offi
cials receive an annual salary which
is supposed to compensate them for
the discharge of their onerous duties,
but what of that ? This session is an
extra.
Johx Swtstox, of New York, has
started a new paper. It Beems to
be started for the purpose of agitat
ing the question of capital against
labor and labor against capital. John
Swinton, in his writings loses sight
of the fact that the way the laws in
this county are constructed, the la
borer may become a capitalist em
ploying men, and the capitalist may
become a laborer employed by the
man who he had formerly in his em
ploy. The every day life in the Re
public reveals many such cases. A
change of fortune is probable in the
line of the life of almost every one in
this country. People in changed
circumstances are met with every day,
and in all probability Swinton's own
paper, within the last ten days re
corded this statement, that "Judge
Hoover, who once npon a time was
Chief Justice of Arizona, is now chief
waiter in a restaurant in Southern
California. Judge Satterthwaite, al
so from Arizona, is now doing tink
er's jobs for a living." But with all
such facts looking him in the face he
cares little just so that he squeezes
his bread and butter out of the ques
tion of agitation.
The New York Independent of No
vember 15, speaks as follows of Mar
tin Luther :
The tributes to Luther's memory
from all quarters, Protestant lands
and Catholic, show tbe amazing mag
nitude of the force he has exerted in
the world. We are surprised that
the world so readily catches the real
point of Luther s work and charac
ter. He was so strong and willful a
man. and he lived so earlv in the
days of the Reformation, and he
made so many mistakes, that it would
be easy for all the religious and so
cial cranks to claim him as their own.
He was lawless and rude in language ;
he was lax in his notions of divorce ;
his theory of the Sacrament would
be almost too ritualistic for the Ritu
alist, and would be charged with Ro
manism to-day ; be was the father of
the higher criticism and accepted and
adopted its conclusions, without for
mulating its principles. We have
almost feared that he would be adopt
ed an their apostle by German ration
alists. But we remember that he
was born four hundred years ago,
and that as you recede from a vast
mountain which dominates the land
scape, you lose sight of the ugly
cliffs and chasms, and retain only the
vast and truthful massiveness of
form which gives it character. Such
was Luther, the great reformer, who
taught Europe that the Church does
not rule, and that from Church, Pope,
Council or Fathers, the appeal lies
to God's word and each man's con
science ; and that God is really good,
and can be approached by every man
directly, with no saint or Mary Moth
er to intercede, and that God will ac
cept him on his faith alone. These
great facts the world sees when it
looks at Luther.
The Chicago Weekly News of No
vember 1st, says, the years are vin
dicating Gen. Grant's administration
in more respects than one, and they
will continue to vindicate him as
time mellows the personal antagon
isms which he excited. It is more
than a decade since Grant, then pres
ident, ad viced the annexation of San
Domingo. The island came to us
begging protection and asking that
the s?gis of our government be
thrown over its weak and harrassed
community. It would have been a
most valuable acquisition and we
could have taken it honorably and
without dispute ; but a number of
our public men, determined to op
pose any scheme suggested by
Grant, violently assailed the propo
sition, and even went so far aa to
question the motives of the piesi-
dent in presenting the plan. For
weeks a contest waged in the United
States senate over the question of
annexation, and finally the project
was defeated. Thus was a territory,
one of the richest under the sun, ca
pable of supporting 10,000,000 of
people and containing all told bat
120,000 population, thrown away.
It would have ennabled us to com
mand the entrance to the Caribbean
sea and in case of war would have
formed a most valuable depot for
supplies and for the rendezvous of
oar commerce. But, as before said,
the chance was thrown away and the
opportunity lost. Now, when per
sonal jealousy of Gen. Grant has
somewhat cooled, we find newspa
pers which at that time violently de
nounced him for favoring the
scheme lamenting that so fine an
opportunity was neglected.

And then remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle a
pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set
of books, digging ditobes or editing a
paper, wringing an auction bell or
writing fanny things, jou mast work.
If you look around, son, jou will see
tbe men who ars most able to live the
rest of their days without woek are tbe
men who work tbe bardett. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over,
work, so. It is beyond your power to
do that, on tho tunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but it's because
they quit work at 6 P. M. and don't
get home until 2 A. M. It'i tbe inter
val that kills, my son.. Tbe work gives
yon an appetite for your meals, it leads
solidity to yoor slumbers, it gives yon
a perfect and grateful appreciation of a
holiday. There are young men wbo do
not work, my son ; bat the world is not
proad of them. It does not know their
names, even ; it simply tpeaks of them
as old so-and-so's boys. Nobody likes
them; the great busy world doesn't
know tbat they are there. So find oat
what yon want to be and do, my son,
and take off your coat and make a dost
in the world. Tbe busier you are tbe
leas deviltry yon will be apt to get in
to, the swseter will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays,
