casual visitors into the kitchen ; they would feel insulted now please tell me if you can what \ is the matter with that parlor the whole of the matter is that you ' don't live in it i answered ifyou | had your bird your cat your sewing i machine and your flowers in there | you would soon feel at home in the room and find it pleasant but six i chairs a sofa a carpet and a small j fable vith a half dozen ujcely bound volumes of poetry lying on it don't i make a home habitable then vou i keep the outside blinds closed and the shades down making it like a dun 1 geon all the time the sun never penetrates there and consequently itl is always chilly i think it would be just as well if not better if we housekeepers dispen i sed with parlors altogether said nei j lie what is the use of furnishing a room which is to be kept nice for the bake ofa few acquaintances for whom you cars nothing and who call per haps once a mouth and slay about ten ' minutes my friends can always be invited into my kitchen or small din i ing-room where we can be merry and i at ease i don't believe i have ever \ laughed in that parlor i believe a laugh would sound out of place and j what shall we do when it grows too warm to sit in tiie kitchen the fire will make it uncomfortable here in j summer take my advice and move your flowers machine and bird into the parlor i answered you are natur ally orderly and the room will al | ways be nice enough to receive visitors ! don't keep an expensively furnished | room for the sake ofa few acquaintances j whose opinion good or b;ul will not ! affect you at all your first duty is j to make a home for your husband and '■every part of the house should be home to him in uo room should he feel ill at ease i believe you are right said nei j lie who is never hard to convince i having a very amiable disposition and i will try your plan and will j certainly let you know how it works having no mother or sister to advise i me i have to judge for myself iu i everything and sometimes it is very i hard to know what to decide on ! there are so many duties and annoy ances in housekeeping that one is apt to grow discouraged occasionally lint j after all i like t better than board ing one is never at home in a board ing-hous 1 answered and i spoke from a sad experience t think the newly married make a great mistake in boarding they argue tlmtit is the easiest and the mosteconom ical there is uo furniture to buy no coal and flour to lay in no stock of house linen to purchase no water tax no gas bill no servant's hire jjut to offset all there is no freedom or do mestic comfort and both husband and wife have to submit to all sorts of j tiresome restraints then the dishes for which they have a particular lik ing arc never on the table though they could be easily prepared ifthey were housekeeping and thev miss the great pleasure ofa joint proprie torship in their own home then com plications in the shape of children arise and who would want to bring a child up in a boarding-house and oh ! the gossip ! the women are for ever meeting for a good talk which j inevitably ends in the discussion of j scandal and this is only too bdt to affect very seriously the tone of any woman even if she only listens aud is not drawn into joining in it which in nine cases out of ten she will be when people say to me they can't af ford to go to housekeeping i feel like laughing at them they mean that they cannot bear to humble their foolish pride sufficiently to keep house as their grandmothers did when first married they could furnish two rooms if not a whole house and only with such plain simple articles as they can afford a little taste and a good deal of industry will soon make them attractive and no real friends will be lost by the move sensible people will respect them for tlielr in dependence and for not being ashamed of their poverty just then the cry of the strawber ry man was heard at the door and nellie sprang up and ran out to get two boxes for a quarter leaving me to digest her sensible remarks american cultivator influence of w_.__u.e cardinal manning addressed an au dience of about four thousand people recently iu liverpool on the influence of women of all the powers upon earth he said there was in the hands of mothers and daughters and sisters a power which could control the great est strength of man and this was the power of good example of a good life f true christian love the persuasion of their patience in waiting until the faultsoftlio.se whom they tried to win to better ways should be wiped out men might rca.-oii and wrangle and might convince one another but they had not the power of persuasion that a mother or sister or daughter possessed over a son a father or a brother they could sometimes do what priests could not the good bishop of ferns who had gone to his rest had told them that he had often seen women kneeling beside men and taking the pledge along with them fur the pur pose of giving them courage and strength to do that which many of them were so cowardly that they dare not promise to do many a man had been brought to heaven and the sac rament ami a holy death by the influ ence of wife or mother or sister it was most certain that the character of man was formed for life by the moth er aud he had rarely known a good mother who had a bad daughter or a bad son speaking of drunkenness he described it as the sin of the chris tian world saying that among the af ricans and the people of the east drunkenness only came in when we brought it dining all the time he spent abroad in fiance or italy or rome he never saw a drunken wo man though here aud there a drunk en man but very few when french men and italians came over to eng land they often for lhe first time saw men and women drunk in the streets towards ihe conclusion of his remarks lie condemucd the employment of married women outside of their own households saying that when a wo man married she entered into a sol emn contract

jacob's well where his tomb i.s still shown there never has been any doubt about the identity of the spot such caves are as everlasting as the hills to which they belong the sto ry of machpelah is singularly touching with what solemnity and carefulness did father abraham acquire this his only property in'the holy land from his heath en friend ephron and make it sure for ever by that first legal contract recorded iu history gen xxiii:3-20 the scene comes back to us in all its cir cumstantial details as dr thomson shows so graphically from his own experience of bargaining among the orientals of the present day how simple and impres sive is the record of the successive inter ments ofthe patriarchal families and the burial of enmities between brothers over the graves of their fathers first sarah was buried gen xxiii : id t,u '" abraham by isaac and i.hniael xxv:9 iu then isaac by his sous esau and ja cob xxxv:2.-29 : and last we read the dying request of jacob in egypt : and he charged

j sixty-thousand dollar parents george augustus sala i coming to this country at once it is said for a ! winter tour in the southern states news items trade mark laws the supreme court declaring them to bt invalid and unconstitutional washington nov 17 — the supreme court to day decided the case ofthe united states against emil steffens and adolph witteman of new york and w w john son et al of cincinnati which are prosecu tions for violations of what are known as the trade mark laws the cases came be fore the supreme court on certificates of division from the circuit courts ofthe uni ted states for the southern district of new york aud the southern district of ohio — the question upon which the judges ofthe lower courts were divided in opinion . is whether the acts of congress on the sub ject of trade marks are founded on any rightful authority in the constitution ofthe united states it was maintained by counsel who sought an affirmative answer to this question that there are two clauses ofthe federal consti tution which furnish a sufficient warrant for the legislation in dispute the first is the eighth clause of section 8 article 1 which provides that congress shall have power to puss laws to promote the progress of sci ence and the useful arts by securing for lim ited times to authors and inventors the ex clusive right to their writings and discover ies with regard to this point the court holds that the ordinary trade mark has no necessary relation to invention or discovery the court is therefore ofthe opinion that such legislation is not authorized by the constitutional provision concerning authors and inventors and their writings and dis coveries the other clause of the constitution relied on to support this legislation is the third of the same section which provides tiiat con gress shall have power to regulate com merce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the indian tribes with regard to this the court says that this legislation contemplates the establishment ofa universal system of trade-mark registra tion for the benefit of all who have already used a trade mark or who wish to adopt oue in the future without regard to the character ofthe trade to which it is to b applied or locality of the owner such legis lation is in the opinion of this court in ex cess of congressional power the court wishes however to be understood as leav ing the whole question ofthe treaty-making power of the general government over trade marks and the duty of congress to pass any laws necessary to carry such treaties into effect untouched the question in each of these cases viz whether tliese statutes can be upheld in whole or in part as constitu tional must be answered iu the negative and it will be so certified to the circuit court under the provisions of the laws which have thus been declared unconstitutional about 8,000 trade marks have been register ed at the patent office and about 200 appli cations for registry are now pending home from liberia from the charlotte observer several colored families from this county went to liberia on the ship azor whicb sail ed from charleston easter sunday 1878 with a large number of colored people on board and many others wanted to go but cou'.d not to the friends of those who went as well as to those who were.so warm ly interested at one lime in the libcrian exodus project it will be interesting to know that the bark monrovia arrived at new york last week having left liberia september 21st and that it brought eighteen colored passengers a part ofthe ship load carried out bytheazor we copy now from the herald ofthe 19th : as soon as the returning pilgrims arriv ed in new york they were transferred to . the cars and started at once for their old homes in south carolina yesterday capt . richardson gave a reporter many details of ■their long story of suffering and unhappi ness only the opening chapters of which have been published in this country the returning party included three families and j several single adults their friends in this j country sent them money with which to pay , their passage back to their old homes they ! say there's not one ofthe azor's party that j would not gladly come back if they could raise funds for the journey a more discon ■tented miserable lot of people can hardly be imagined than tho?e unfortunates who have found many more graves than homes in the young colored republic l tt will bo remembered that of the 370 exodists who started on the azor twenty nine died for lack of proper provisions for j their health and comfort before they reach ed monrovia some thirty or forty have been able to return to this country of the three hundred and over remaining there are now only about sixty persons alive explosions in a tunnel thirty chinamen killed and a mountain shaken to its center san fiiancisco november 18 an ex plosion occurred in tunnel no :. on the nar row-gauge railroad from san jose to santa cruza early this morning from the mea gre accounts thus far received it seems that a blast wus let off about 2,700 feet from the mouth ofthe tunnel which caused an ex plosion of the gases generated by the filt ering of eoal oil through the roof and sides ofthe tunnel twenty-one chinamen and two white men were at work in the tunnel at the time immediately about twenty more chinamen rushed into the tunnel with torches to aid their comrades and when they had penetrated about 1,500 feet their torches caused a second explosion more vio lent than the first shaking the mountain to its centre the white men lindle and johnson were brought out terribly burned and about ten chinamen all seriously in jured as near as can be learned some thir ty chinamen were killed the second ex plosion wrecked the engines and works — physicians have been dispatched to the scene from san jose and everything possi ble is being done for the sufferers from additional reports concerning the explosion it seems that three explosions oc curred—the first at 11:50 p m the second at 11:55 p m and the third at 12:20 a m the men were changing shifts at thetimeof the first explosion seven chinamen have been taken out all horribly burned twen ty-four dead remain in the tunnel a chin aman named ah wo was taken out burn ed about the dies and injured internally he was found dead in his cabin an hour af terward strangled with a silk scarf the chinamen say that he hanged himself but the indications are that he was strangled by his friends to put him out of his misery there is a terrible scene of suffering in the camp and ruin all around the route of the tunnel the engine for pumping air is dis abled pipes are broken sheds wrecked and broken timbers mattered all around the gas prevents any attempt to
