received a cane bearing this inscription: "To 
the Hon. Galusha A. Grow, Speaker of Con¬ 
gress 1861-8, This cane grew on the first 
homestead in the United States. Presented 
by the first homesteader, Daniel Freeman, 
Beatrice, Neb.” 
Billy MoGlory, one of the most notorious 
New York dive-keepers, who tried farming 
about a year ago, after serving out a seutenee 
in prison for selling liquor iu bis disreputable 
dancing hell, has retired from the calling of 
agriculturist in disgust. His farmer neigh- 
bom in Westchester County, N. Y., would not 
speak to him and begot lonesome. 
The President has appointed Professor G. 
Brown Goode, Assistant Director of the 
National Museum, to be Commissioner of 
Fish ami Fisheries, eice Professor S. F. 
Baird deceased. Judge McC'ue, Solicitor of

character. 
Wiggins, weather-wise Wiggins, predicts 
the most violent blow of the century on Sept. 
19. The storm, which will originate in the 
arctic circle, will cross the meridau of Lon¬ 
don, England, on the Pith. Moving westward 
across tin* Atlantic, the wind on the 19th will 
he southeast at Halifax. A counter wave 
sweeping across the great lakes from the 
northwest, will roar over half the continent, 
the gale being at its bight along the Atlantic 
on the 19th, when the storms meet. An¬ 
other quack, down in Mexico, predicted 
a terrible earthquake in the Mexican capital, 
the other day, and as it didn’t come, the peo¬ 
ple mobbed uud the authorities jailed him. To 
frighten timid old women is a more serious 
offence in Mexico than in Canada. 
LITERARY NOTES. 
Lee A' Shepard issue a new edition of “The 
Life and Times of Wendell Phillips.” This 
excellent book should be read by all thought¬ 
ful people, Wendell Phillips was the most 
remarkable orator America has ever pro¬ 
duced. Had he been a politician and schemed 
for political honors lie would have rivalled 
Daniel Webster iu political prominence. 
These who study this book will tie well repaid. 
The life of a pure and unselfish patriot must, 
contain many useful lessons. 
An article ou “Physiology of Freezing” iu 
the September Popular Science Monthly is 
very sensible. Many persons are peculiarly 
sensitive to cold. Such sufi'er greatly from 
chilblains and frozen joints. In most cases 
the harm comes not so much from the freezing 
as from the thawing. It is our first thought 
when very cold to get to the lire at once. 
When portions of the body are actually frost¬ 
bitten this is a very unwise move. ICeopaway 
from the fire. Rub the exposed parts with 
snow or pluee them in ice-cold water until the 
feeling returns. When this is faithfully done 
there will be little trouble with slightly frost¬ 
ed llesh. Some persons are oftentimes badly 
troubled by frosted noses. Long aud thin 
noses Irequeutly turn red from the effects of 
freezing and hasty thawing. “Such noses dis¬ 
figure the face aud cause great annoyance. 
The author of the article in the Popular Sci- 
euce Monthly gives a treatment for these red 
noses. The nose is to be bathed for several 
minutes n water as hot as the flesh caostand. 
It is then washed in a mixture of one part 
hydrochloric acid to six parts water. At night 
a-salve composed of eight parte of vaseline aud 
one part ichthyol is put upon the red parts. 
In the September number of the Forum, 
Senator lugalls has a caustic article on “ The 
Sixteenth Amendment.” The next amend¬ 
ment to the Constitution which he thinks 
most likely to be urged, is that granting the 
rights of suffrage to women. He gives the 
old arguments against such suffrage aud 
makes some new points Here is one:— 
“The question of suffrage belongs, uuder 
the Constitution, exclusively to the States. 
Congress has no power to confer or limit 
suffrage except in t he Territories and the Dis¬ 
trict of Columbia, Each State now has the 
rigtit to grant full suffrage to women when¬ 
ever a majority of its electors desire. No 
amendment to the Constitution is necessary, 
nor could it have any other effect except to 
force bite enfranchisement of women upon re¬ 
luctant States that are not prepared for it, 
aud do not wish tor it, under the penalty of a 
reduction of representation iu Congress and 
the Electoral College Way the proponents 
of equal suffrage appeal to Congress, rather 
than to the Stale legislatures, by whom alone 
the appeal can lie made effectual, is uot clearly 
perceptible. Their reply to this interrogation 
is tnat woman has as much right to the ballot 
as tin- negro. .Nothing could be more irra¬ 
tional than this pretext. Tne fifteenth amend¬ 
ment was as much a war measure as the draft, 
or the legal tender act. The alternative made 
the process compulsory for obvious reasons; 
but those who pretend that there is utjv simi¬ 
larity between the present condition of Ameri¬ 
can women and the status of the freed men at 
the close of the war are either ignorant or in¬ 
sincere.” 
In attempting to dispose of the favorite ar¬ 
gument that woman's suffrage would tend 
to counteract the vote of illiterate mule votes 
Senator Ingalls says:— 
By the statistics of the tenth census, we are 
informed that, the colored males in the United 
States above the age of 21, who were unable 
to write, innnliered 1.022,151, or AS 9-10 per. 
cent, of the entire class. The white males 
similarly disqualified were 886.659, or 7 8-10 
per rent. ..f tne voting population. It is an ap¬ 
palling reflection that, iu a government theor¬ 
etically has* d upon intelligent citizensliipysueh 
an enormous proportion of the electors are 
destitute of the rudiments of education The 
adoption ol the proposed 16th. amendment 
would a Id to this stupendous mass of illiter¬ 
acy, colored females 1,125,749, or 77 6-10 per 
cent, ot those who would be enfranchised, and 
white females 1.169, Si*4, being II per cent, of 
those who would lie entitled to the ballot; a 
grand total of nearly 2 306,600 illiterate aud 
disqualified electors, iu addition to the exist¬ 
ing millions whose condition is a confessed 
menace to the perpetuity aud stability of 
free popular government.”

LETTERS FROM THE COUSINS. 
Dear Uncle Mark: I hardly know wheth¬ 
er 1 am counted as oue of the Cousius or not. 
1 have written to you once and my name was 
printed, though my letter was not; but I 
should like to join the Y. H. 0., if I am not 
too old. 1 am 15. \Ye have been having very 
dry weather here this summer, aud the eoru 
crop will not amount to much. Papa has cut 
about half of his for fodder. The wheat iu 
this part of the country did very well. We 
have just finished thrashing, and our wheat 
averaged about 20 bushels to the acre, though 
two acres of it went 25; that was the Hybrid - 
Mediterraueau variety', and the seed came 
from New York last year. Our oats make 55 
bushels to the acre. All of the Cousins write 
about their pets, but l have uot any to write 
about, except such common things as colts, 
calves and cats. We have two tine colts; one 
a two-year-old, which we expect to break 
next winter; aud next summer we will work 
her some. We have horses that will weigh 
I,2u0 pounds, and she is nearly as large as 
any of them. We have two tluve-footed cats. 
We tlduk that they were caught in steel traps. 
Papa has been taking the R, N.-Y. for several 
years, and we all like it very much. Mamma 
has just been reading about your political 
speech, aud we had a good laugh at your ex¬ 
pense. I think 1 have said about enough for 
this time, so i will close, hoping that this let¬ 
ter will uot see the waste basket. 
Your frieud, annie da vis. 
Reuo, Kau. 
Dear Uncle Mark: I was going to write a 
long time ago, but never got around to it. I 
would like to join the Y. IT. C. Iam 11 
years old. 1 received the Garden Treasures 
and eujoyed them very much. I sent some of 
them to my little cousin in Dakota, so she 
might enjoy them too. Our school was out 
the 26th ot July. We have three mouths’ va¬ 
cation. For pets I have a dog named Prince, 
a cat named Tom, and a bird named Fred. 
No. East Pa. alice grimshaw. 
Dear Uncle Mark: I am a little girl five 
years old next April and can’t write, but want 
my Papa to ask you if you haven’t any more 
stones like “The Mouse, the Louse, and the 
Little Red Hen.” I think that was justsplen- 
did. I like those flowers you sent. Mamma 
Jets me pick all the poppies aud petunias I 
want. Good-bye. ali.ie wade. 
Afton. 
(Uncle Mark has some more stories iu bis 
head. They will all come out iu time. 
Dear Uncle Mark: I am eight years old 
and went to school last winter for the first 
time I live on a high hill overlooking the 
little village of Snowville, in which my 
Grandmother lives. 1 go to see her every 
day. We have a cow, a cat and a little dog 
named Jip. Papa takas the Rural. I like to 
read the letters. I have a hen with four little 
chickens. I have a brother older than myself. 
I must close for this time. 
Yours truly, nannie bishop.
