A, Fifth regi- ment L N, C has received from Adjutant General Beeson the report of Brigide In- spector J. dson, on the muster inspoc- tion at Red Oak during the aunual encamp- ment, August 14, 1880, The percentage credited to Company A is as follows for the forty-three men and two oftl : Disciplin 0; instruction, S0: mitlitary appearance, 80; arms, 85; accoutrements, i5; uniform, 85; average, 82.5. It must be understood that this is a very #0od average, as the reporis of the state ofti- cers show that the highest average secured by any company in the regiment in 1855 was and in 1856 was The hizhest aver- ' of any regimen At of the First regiment, which as 53 in 1855 and 4 25-54 i 1886, The Sec regiment se- mark of 82 5.0 in 1856, which makes three times that the mark of company s been beaten, The average of the en- Mifth regiment, however, was 75 10-27 in 85 and but 68 in 1886, which shows their present standing 14! per cent better than the regimental average three years ago. The comvany,'s average this yecar was cut down by the failure to rank high in accou- trements, as the inspector got hold of two or three old soldicrs who had just been relieved from guard duty, and their accoutrements were dusty, which cut down the marking. 1t is, Loweyer, an average of which to be proud, and the boys feel highly elated that their showing was so satisfactor, It is another demoustration, if one was needed, that the Bluffs company can hold its own ag ainst all cowers, Dempse; B L Steam and hot water heating, first-class plumbing, Work done in both citi Jobn Gilbert, cor.

Poivtdiih 4 et To the Citizens of o il Bluffs and Vicinity. We were in hopes that the coal dealers whose names have appeared in a cortain card published in various local papers at different dates trom October 4, would have on calm reflection soen the folly of their position without taking wto consideration {ts utter falsity and have asserted their individual manhood, business intogrity and honesty of purpose by withdrawing from a combination that has been productive of no good to them- selves, either findividually or collectively. But 1t is a matter of supreme indifference to us if they wish to sacrifice their business - terests to their blind personal prejudices. We reiterato the statement we have al- ready published, and brand their whole arti- cle as n wilful falsehood and the parties wero peafectly aware of that fact when they signed it.

The most scusational case ever tried in Newaygo county closed to-day with a verdict acquitting Oregon Hamilton of the muvderof hischild, saysa Newaygo, Mich., special. Hamilton was accused of whipning his child to death, and in March, 1888, was sentenced to Jackson prison for life. He had no means with which fomake o defenseand no friends. While” n prison he secured a ponsion, with $1,200 arrcarage, and with this moncy he employed attorneys who se- cured him & now trial, which ended to-day. Hamilton = was a poor man, and when his wife died he employed Mary Marston to care for hischild. It was upon her evidence he was convicted afterthe child’s death. The new evidence upon which the trial was sccured was that the woman was dissolute and depraved; that she is now living a life of shame; that she was crucl to the child placed in her cave, and that she. instead of the father, was respousible for its death. The second trial has continued five days and the in- srest in the easo has been so great and the attendancs so large that the vro- ¢ gs were conducted 1n the opera E the chief s in the drama eupying the stage and the spoectators filling the se Bear Hunt Australia, The Australian koala, or native hear, has its favorite haunts in the gigantic cucalyptus trees, in which, the of its fur being so like that of their itisnot, when at_any great ily distinguishable from it. mainly upon the tender shoots and buds, climbs with great rapidity, and clings to the bark with wonderful tenacity; the females while climbing, carrying their young upon their bucks.

The bear’s ery of distress, when in danger, is curiously like that of a terri- fied baby. In size they are small, and resemble the sloth bear species, so com- mon in the jungles ot India.

The impeession created upon the minds of the many linemen employed in this city by John Feekss horrible death has been vory deep, says the New York Sun, Many of them have become melancholy and imbued with unpleas- ant presentiments.

Burprised at this, he examined his tackle and found that there were no hooks on his line, When he returned he bought several dollars’ worth of fish and sent them around to his friends, That night at the club he began boast- ing about his success and was laughed at., The same men who received the fish had cut the hooks from his lines, —— A Novel Method of Inspection.

To say that women have no sins that are not shared by men, that there are no distinctively feminine sins, is but to declaro a platitude. ‘Without doubt the sins of women are the sins of humanity; there are none g0 peculiae to themselves as to deserve mention; and they differ only from the sins of men in being of a minor degree. “Woman is the lesser man, and all her mo- tions matched with mind® Are as moonlight unto sunlight, and as water unto wine,” says one of the men in splenetic mood; but so fur as fact has anything to do with his lines, it is in reference to her sins only that she is tho lessor man, sinco they are in general as much slighter than her brother’s sins us her body is weaker and her temptations smaller. In general, letit be said, because once in o while there comes a Frodegonde, a Brinvilliers, & Theroigne, to show us of what, under fostering circums women are capable, und where, in doing nothing but what many men huve al- roady done, they appear so much worse because 80 mu more is looked for from them. or indeed iftheir sins are generally less, their virtues are gener- ally greater than those of the other half of humanity, and there is every reason why they should be, in th nature, their education, and theirseclusion. If, according to the new theory, wo- man 1s the race and man the vaviation, woman should be the conserver of THE VIRTUE OF THE RACE; and certainly nothing bends more strongly to this than the urgency of the duties of motherhood and the tender- ness that motherhood evokes; indeed, duty and tenderness belong to all femi- nine human nature that is true to its law of being and its first development. The bahy does not go alone before she 18 nursing and loving another baby in her dolliany two little girlsin the su will have their arms about h othe shoulders; the boys of a family are off at their play when the girls are at home helping their mother; the son marries when ho will, the girls as frequently let love go by because the old rents need her; and she is not praisedfor any of it; no one expects it to be otherwisel duty, kindness, love and sacrifice are recog- nized to be parts of her personality, and sho would not be hersolf if she did dif- ferently. And ‘when motherhood is ealled in question, doos not every child know to what the moth qual, save in excep- tional cases where she chances to be what gardeners call a freak? It is not, perhaps, her virtue that she lives in her child; that she would die for himj it is her nature; and it oniy shows how near her nature isto virtue that, in view of it, it is strange that when we think of the creative and sus taining force of the universe it is our habit to say father and not mother. Not that recognition of the strength and care and generosity of tho father 18 at all impaired by rendering the mother her meed; it does not follow that one is not good becavss another is better, and he himsell is the first to ac- knowledge it on cecasion. It is in ap- profthing these virtues, and in cacry ing them to a point bevond the custom- ary feminine experience, that men are often finest; as in the missionary who forgets himself for his who dies for his Luth, and in the phy cian who equally forgets himself, en- countering loathliest disease, giving tireless days and slaepless nights to the sufferingz, and who brings help and healing with him in such wise that he seems to be the very vicegerent of God and of creation. Yet 1t may be said that women are so guarded from their ¢ s from knowl- edgo of evil and the contamination of the worser world that anything else than purity, temperance and such posi- tive forms of goodness becomes diflicult for them, and there has to be SOMETIING INHERENTLY WRONG in a woman for her to go astray; while she learns 1n the home atmosphere the necessity of self-denial and self-repros- sion, and all her power for love is daily strengthened there. Were she out in the world us her brother 18, she might by possibility lose much that now seems hers by right, although she might gatn in breadth of view and in large nobility. It is close upon large nobility indeed, that women find their weakest point; the narrow view hinders them from the wide, as one’s hand held up before the eyes can obscure the sunj they do notlook at the good of the race so much as thatof their own home, and where not them- selves but thoso they love are injured they find it all but impossible to forgive; if this is all the concentrated sweet- ness of their boing hus gone to make a crust round that sin, In fact, there is but one sin of which women are possibly more guilty than men, and for that men avre more re- sponsibie than theys it is the cowardice which, where it exists—and, thank the heavenly powers, it does not oxist among 21l women—makes some women subtle, cunning, treacherous, false, The capture of the strong arm in primitive times, their only recourse has been to please; their only weapons have been amiability, concession, craft. They would not have been made of flesh and blood and have been without desires and endeavors to attain theend of such desires. Their sense of justico told them they had a human rignt to attain these ends, and, of course, they neglected no means in their power to do so. They had abuses and punish- ments, too, 1o escape; they had chil- dren to be shielded from cruelty; th had faults to be hidden from hard mas ters: they availed themselves, then, of what in great commande 18 CALLED STRATEGY, in great statesmen diplomacy, butin ethics is called decert, Woeuk in body and timd by conse- quence, & captive, a slave, a drudge for generations that became ages, the sen- timent of the communivy, with all its later enlightenment, never to the pres- ent day quite relinquishing the essence of the idea of the slave in connceti with her, although cherishing it per- haps unconseiously, woman has had to resort to eraft to carry her ends till she has found herself indanger of becomin sly as a matter of second nature. With this acquired predisposition of hers from the ancest bond-slave, & man has only needed to be of atoo domineer- ing and autocratic turn in hus family in order to develop the objectionable qual- ity in wife and daughters, till brutality has brought about shufilng, evasion, ¢ oncealment and dissembling, and tyr- anny has been followed by cunning, as the whale is followed by the sword-fish. The man who will not let his wife do what sho wishes and _innocently might, without worrying all peaco out of the house, without a storm, without abuse, without the withdrawal of his good will and a condign punishment of ono sort or another, forces his wife, unless she 18 a spiritloss shadow, into doing what she would, and deceiving him in fela- tion to it very likely to the point of lying. Guilty asshe horsell may be, yot if his childrea ave born liars,he has imself to vhank for it. The man who, able to meat expenso, denies his wifo righteous money for her necds, should not be surprised if the whispering serpent supplies his defic- iency, and his wile debases herself and her blood enough to filch money from his pocket. If his childven are born thicves, the fault is in the first instance his. If to any the statement seems shameful, and women recoil at tho lie and the thoft, or at the bare idea, the virtue is theirs, But it is owing to the great tyrannies of old days, the small tyrannios of modorn days, that decep- tion, and arts and wiles HAVE BECOME THE FAMILIAR DEMONS, of 5o many women who have no other faults than these and those to which they lead. As tho woman stands up more and more on equal ground with the man, as the husband acknowledgos the rights of the wife, as the community comes to expect and exact it of him, there will be less and less to eall this artitice into use, its eapacity will become dormant and atrophiod, honest will vise upper- most, the fearlessness of tho descendant will have conquered the pusillanimity of the grandam, unfaltering truth will shine out on her forehead, and woman will have annihilated possibly the only sin that was ever hers, HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD. b irhtuloln Modern Mistakes 1n Grammar, Faults aro pardonable in conversa- tion, which are not pardonable in writ- ten compositions, says the Ladies’ Home Journal. But we must be careful not to take too much leeway in this regard, and not to make mistakes in grammar or pronunciation. Some people are ' grammatical blunders, through s, Thus, a lady of my acquaintance, who understands trigro- metry, and can translato Virgil, often saystome, “‘you was,” and yet she knows perfectly well that this un 1nexcusable mistake. Other people who ought to know bet- ter, say “*he don’t” for “*ine doesn't,” I don’t know as I do,” instead of *‘I don’t know that I do.” *‘Aint” and ‘‘taint” are not often used now by educated peo- ple, unless in a jesting way. Itisan unwise thing. however, to be careless or inaccurato in one’s pronunciation or use of language, since tricks of speech are cusily caught, and very hard to get rid of. Thus, when one is talking to servants, or other uneducated people, one is often tempted to adopt their phraseology, in order to be readily un- derstood by them, but it is better to withstand the temptation, even if one should be obliged in conseauence to take more trouble to express one’s meaning clearly. What shall be said of the woman who says “I done it"? She has certainly placed herself between the horons of a dilemma. Her hearers will infer, cither that her early education was neglected, or that she” associated with uneducated people during her child- Tood. And yet this isa grammatical fautt, which seems hard to get rid_of. Persons who never say *'[ n it,” or “he has went,” or “‘them things,” will ionally betray themselves by let- slip the fatal *I done it.” It is quite as incorrect to use ‘‘he” and 1”7 for “him” and ‘‘me,” or vice versa, us 1t is to say 1 done it,” and yot the first named class of il hat of using the wrong prono: s some- times committed by educated people. Indeed, I have heard the phrase ‘i is me” jus d, on the ground th was a literal translation of the French “clest moi.” But our English gram- mar does not, like its French name- sake, justify the employment of certain pronouncial forms, merely for the value of euphony. *‘He is older than 1" may not .soluni so well as *“he is older than me,” yet the former is the correct form. It isa ver, mmon mistake to say “*Between you and I.” and yet a moment’s reflection should cor anyone who has ever studied that ho should say ‘‘Between you and Confl Felin Low to the stars she whispers a name— to the listening stars; 'ns she blushes flaime, on Lier maidealy shame— Guard well the secret, oh stars!
