General Grant has begun talking freely on the political outlook. He has been silent many years, but judging from his remarks, which are published in the telegraph this morning, he is capable of saying some very wise things.

There are too many signs of a serious and deplorable discussion of the propriety of preaching what are commonly called sensational sermons. We hope our contemporaries will join the Express, the only religious daily in the city, in frowning down this tendency.

Spring is supposed to begin with the 21st of March, when the day and night are of equal length. Friday was the 21st and since then everyone has had spring fever, including the spring poet, whose attack this year is of a more fatal character than usual. This last bit of information is thrown out as a warning.

The rush to the new gold fields in Idaho has had no equal since the California fever in '49. The investigations made by experts show that there is undoubtedly a vast deposit of gold along Trout creek and already the best evidence of the rich resources of the country has been given in the actual product of the diggings. Of course the region is filled up with that marvelous growth that is a natural result of a mining fever. Buildings are being erected by the hundreds and the population is of that heterogenous character which, perhaps, never settles down into a well regulated community.

There is no doubt that tbe iron industry is moving away from its location in Pennsylvania and on the other side of the Alleghenies to the west and south. The Philadelphia Record says: "A Pottstown (Pa.) dispatch says: Another colony of nailers and employes of the Pottstown Iron company have left here. These men have gone to Lynchburg, Ya., where they have secured lucrative positions. Altogeteer some eighty skilled workmen have left here since the strike of the Pottstown Iron Company's nailerB was inaugurated in December last.' These movements of iron workers are significant. They point the way in which the iron business is traveling. Both the cotton business and the iron business are ao'ving southward and westward. Dear coals and dear ores are driving iron makers away from Pennsylvania to the neighborhood of cheaper raw material."

vety neatly turns the jwspapers which have

The Current point on those news. been affecting to be solicitous lest the liberty of the press be interfered with by the passage of the law excluding from the mails newspapers containing lottery advertisements. The Current says: "Some of the newspapers are denouncing the measure before congress, providing for the exclusion from the mails of all newspapers containing lottery advertisements and all other publications containing matter promoting the lottery business. It is characterized as "an attempt to destroy the liberty of the press," and Americans are called upon to hold fast to the "segis of their liberties," etc. As a matter of fact, the bill referred to is a conspicuously lawful one, and is designed not to curtail in any way the liberty of the press. The liberty of the press is a very different thing from the license of the press. Liberty does not mean liberty to corrupt and plunder men and women and injure society, and when the press undertakes to go outside the lines of liberty it should be subjected to police regulations. If the press aids in the circulation of obscene literature or swindling lottery literature, it should not be aided by the government in the matter of transportation."

The public has been more or less informed of the rapid increase in the manutacture of oleomargarine, but as the article is put upon the market as a counterfeit of butter there has been much secresy in regard to its manufacture and sale, so that the publicf while actually using it, has had no adequate knowledge of the full extent of the sale of the article. The recent investigation by a committee of the New York legislature has brought out some startling facte, and the question now is •whether the traffic in the stuff is to be allowed under any circumstances. It is such a complete substitute that none but an expert can detect it. Jhe investigation in New York

shows that it is unwholesome and that it is sold everywhere for butter. There is no questioning the fact that the public does not want it and it iB equally true that the public should not be imposed upon by fraudulent practices into buying what it does not want. The committee-has reported a verv stringent measure for the suppression of the Bale of the article, and other states will be given the benefit of the experience thus to be obtained to the end that laws may be framed which will effectually put an end to one of the most systematic frauds that has been perpetuated at the expense of the people.

YOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Let Him Alono.

To the Editor of the Express. SIR: The Reverend Kummer may have "awoke and found himself famous"—and he may not.

Mrs. Harper's calm, dispassionate article In the "Mail" brings with it a train of thoughts which promises much for the future. In the first place, it is only by coming in contact with anything of that sort that one can understand It, and if the reverend gentleman has always had such a holy horror of the theater, how can he possibly iudge of its influence, for either good or bad, upon the people?

In his position, he should be above prejudice, and should deal fairly, honestly and thoughtfully with, even what he well understands, but when one who has made a life study of the Bible, comes forward with such ridiculous and groundless assertions, it brings us suddenly face to face with our own ideas and convlclions.

And after all perhaps the Rev. Kummer is doing (unconciously of course) the work that was intended for him by a higher power. The world has closed Its eyes and accepted all that was offered, long enough. It has followed in blindness and darkness the narrow beaten path because of those who preceded, making no effort to penetrate the gloom, asking not one question of its own soul, which it would be Just as able to answer as they are to answer for us.

The truth is, It is more a fight for bread, than principle. They Judge and misrepresent God dally by telling what lie'will do and what he will not do, and what more do they know than the rest of mankind?

The time is fast approaching when the trammels that have bound the world will be rent assunder, we will look at life and death, In the natural way, that it must have been intended—life to make the most of, to cull the brightest flowers as we pass along, and not to scourge ourselves with doubts and fears—and death, the sweetest sleep that can come to us to prepare us for that grand march upward ana onward.

ENGAGEMENT AND MARRIAGE.

Written for the Express. There is no act of life upon which young woman shouU. enter with more deliberation. Too many unhappy marriages are the result of haste and imprudence. The young woman is in a great measure responsible for her happiness or unhappiness in married life/ She is responsible if she does not prudently consider her choice—not deciding hastily, or upon the dictates of mere sentiment or selfishness. If she will look closely she may detect already in the character of her husband the marks of the unfaithful and dissipated husband. She may from the first discover that melancholy, peevish and heartless temperament which would render married life miserable, and then, if through the desire of wealth or pride or unreasonable attachment she links herself to these liabilities, surely the evil is of her own selection.

Again, she is responsible for the miseries of her mariied lot if she does nor duly examine her own disposition —her own fitness for that lot and for his companionship whom she is about to chose. Let the young woman view her prospect of married life with a thoughtful mind. Let her reflect upon its obligations and consider the relations which it establishes and her fitness and dispositirn for these relations. Let her not expect too much happiness, too little care. She will see many a green nook of happiness, many a spot of domestic sunshine and winding through every change a companionship that becomes more necessary and beautiful as the dreams of youth and the .outward supports of life break and vanish. A companionship made genial by prosperity and strengthened by suffering. But there also open before her, occasions of trial, in which she must do and endure and sacrifice and she can only ensnre a happy married life by entering upon that state with a mind prudently forecasting its contingencies and a heart consecrated to all its obligations.

I do believe that the wife has more influence toward making married life happy or unhappy than the husband has. Let him return home from the perplexities of the world to find his hearth cheerless and his comfort uncared for, and the very opportunities

which might be employed as means of counsel, encouragement and help are turned into occasions of heartlessness, neglect and rebuke. When the wife fiills the home with melancholy and the discord of a vexed and peevish temper when she wastes her time in indolence or devotes it to fashionable folly, when she is extravagant, when she chafes at her husband's disappointments, taunts him with his disgrace, and in the day of adversity, instead of lightening his sorrows, turns npon him with bitterness and reproaches, who can wonder if his disposition becomes soured, his moral standard low and his conduct reckless These are no sketches of fancy—their counterpart may be found among the every-day realities around us.

The husband and wite should not prattle abroad the happenings of home. They should never allow a third person to come between them nor to speak in a disrespectful manner of the absent one. "They should multiply their joys by sharing them and lessen their troubles by dividing them." The wife should be cleanly, industrious, intelligent and cheerful to retain her husband's love, and so with the husband. She should make home pleasant to him, and make him feel that his presence is gladly welcomed, and that he is appreciated and his short-comings forgotton or unseen. Let each be patient with the other's faults, remembering that they themselves are faulty. Let them teach each other with the same courtesy and respect aiter marriage that they did before.

Marriage is not merely a scheme of happiness, it is also a bond of mutual service, each should serve the other, each without the other is insufficient, each yields a support and ministers gifts which the other needs.

We only attain the true idea of marriage when we consider it as a spiritual union.. But it is not spiritual union when the contracting partieB are not equals mentally and morally. The eagle does not mate with the wren nor the raven with the dove. No woman should marry a man whom she cannot fully trust and for whom she has not the highest respect. Nor should she marry one with tbe idea of reforming him for she seldom succeeds. She should choose her equal mentally, morally and socially, a man who can walk with her "in the glorious relms of thought," one who is strong and brave and steadfast in the right, one who can be a companion to her in the truest sense of the word. She should not marry an inferior, on whom she must exert all her moral strength to lift him up to her own level and then in nine cases out of ten fail. Neither should a man marry a woman who is his inferior, for the same reasons.

Therefore I earnestly entreat the engaged young woman who may read this to pause and consider her choice well before she takes the final step which will make or mar her life forevor, and let no false sense of honor keep her from breaking her engagement if she sees, after prudent consideration, that its termination in marriage would cause her to lead an unhappy life.

PASTOR AND PEOPLE.

"Christian Diligence" the Subject of the Sunday School Lesson* for To-Day.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.*

Lesson for March 23—Subject: "Christian Diligence."—ii. Thes. Hi., 1-18.

In his first Epistle to the ThesBalonians, Paul spoke of the second comining of the Lord, and dwelt at considerable length on the glorious circumstances which were to attend that important event. It is Baid that not long after the receipt of this letter there was another came to this people, purporting to be also from Paul, in which they were notified that the second advent was near at hand. We can readily Bee how such an announcement would excite a people, when accepted as from one who spoke with authority, as they believed Paul did. This meant to them a complete revolution, and ali earthly things should pass away, to be succeeded by the heavenly reign. Several times in later times there have been such prophecies made, and the people have not been proof against them more than were the Thessalonians. Like them, many stopped all work and waited for the glorious coming of the Lord. The Millerites, as they were called, no doubt caused as great excitement as did the extremists among the Thessalonians. But this letter of prophecy was a forgery. It did not come from Paul any more than did the message Dr. Miller delivered to the people come from God. But, hearing ot its effect, Paul did write a second epistle to his church members at Thessalonica, and a part of that is the lesson for this day. It is the closing passages of the epistle that are to be carefully studied. Prayer was the first thing impressed upon the people— ita importance at all times, and especially at such times as this, when they were looking for the coming of the Lord. He exhoited them to pray not only for themselves but to pray for him, that he might always be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, and prove faithful. He did not consider himself a teacher perfectly infallible. He realized that he needed the help of his brethren—that the church, pastor and people must unite in prayer. This exhortation was a brotherly appeal for help in a common cause. He was a brother with them in Christ. But this exhortation is followed quickly by a command—the word of the teacher and pastor placed over the little church by divine right. He spoke with -authority, as does a general or a king. The church was to withdraw from those who walked disorderly, and have nothing to do with these teachers of false doctrine. Those who were using the church and the Christian faith to get up a disturbance and create a class of idle loungers, waiting for an important event that was to sweep them into heaven, were to be discouraged and not fellowshipped with. He laid down the law against idleness, and referred to his own case. He had asked nothing of them when teacher. He had earned his own living, as did they, by working at his. trade. Then he-advanced the doctrine that only those who worked should eat, and the Christian, no matter what was coming, should never tire in welldoing. This is the golden text of the lesson. Whatever you are doing, whether it be to your liking or not, continue to do it well until something better offers. It is not the slothiul who succeed and find things to their liking, but those who labor and wait. We make our opportunities rather than wait for them, and then when they are made take advantage of them.

N. Y.,

March

21.—

St. Patrick's Day passed off very quietly, and although our patriotic board of aldermen gave the day a sort of official and legal importance by postponing their regular meeting till the following day, the reverers of the memory of the good saint made themselves less conspicuous than in former yeaiB. The procession was not nearly as long,-nor the "obstruction it caused to public traffic as serious as in by gone days- Hence there was far less profanity on the part of the stage drivers in Broadway and other adepts in the art of using Billingsgate. Nor was there much consumption of fire water. There was an air of seriousness about the holiday makers which seemed to signify that they were thinking more ot the state of affairs in Ireland, and the condition of their friends and relatives in old Erin, and hence the scenes of riotousness and dissipation which once disgraced the observance of the feast of the Saint were missing.

A queer kind of scandal is being quietly circulated in fashionable circles. It concerns Monsignor Capel, and has caused many society people who once received the distinguished prelate with the utmost cordiality to keep somewhat aloof. The story runs that he has induced seven or eight wealthy and well connected young ladiqp to leave their parents and homes and go to Spain, there to enter convents. He promised to pay the cost of their voyages, as well as their outfits, and to furnish them- with a matron to take care of them until they reached their destination. The story it is said leaked out by one of the young ladies informing a gentleman of the proposal, and consequently much indignation is said to be felt by the families affected. I have endeavored to see the Monsignor about this matter, but have thus far failed, but on general principles, I do not think that he should be charged with intending any underhand"-action. I believe that if there is any truth at all at the bottom of the rumor, that it is simply a piece of romanticism on the part of silly girls. From time immemorial distinguished priests have always inspired a species of religious sentiment in the hearts of young ladies with plenty of time and no material wants. Every young woman not eaten up by the whirl of fashionable amusement thinks that she has some mission in life, and in the case of Catholic young ladies, this naturally vents itself in the ideal desire to do good as a Sister of Charity, or some other kind of nun. Among these young ladies in question, Monsignor Capel is regarded as a holy man. They may have brought the question of convents up in conversation and he may have spoken in favor of it. Then the question of wheie to do most good may have arisen, and from the fund of his vast information gained as a traveller and man of the world, Capel may have said something about the deplorable condition of religion in Spain, and the rest was imagined. From what I have heard and seen of the prelate since he has been in this country, I am sure that as a gentleman he is unable to be guilty of such treacherous conduct as to induce a number of young ladies to run away from home to enter a convent in a foreign and far away country.

Roller skating has been one of the most fashionable and most thorough indoor winter amusements. The Olympian club which leased the American Institute and fitted it up with a splendidly adapted floor, has had remarkable patronage. It is no uncommon thing for them to have an attendance of two thousand persons a day, and the receipts sometimes reach as high as $800 per diem. They charge 35 cents admission and fifteen cents for the use of skates. The whole art of using them consists in keeping your feet on the floor. This may appear easy, but when you try it on a floor which is shinier and slipprier than a first class dancing floor it requires but a few falls to convince you of the contrary. Some of the people one sees at the rink are remarkable experts and for grace and elegance, as well as skill in cutting different figures are models. In a week a grand carnival on rollers is to be given, and the affair is to be one of the most remarkable events of the season.

Many "proper" people who wish to keep Lent, refrain from going to theatres. But as Barnum's show is not a theatre or opera house, one sees as many of the fashionables at Madison Square Garden on afternoons and evenings as in church on Sunday. The latest agony is to make up "Barnum parties," clubs ot twenty or thirty engaging adjoining Beats. After the performance a collation at the Brunswick or Delmonico's "winds up the sport," as the sporting writers Bay.

Hon. Robert Dixon, a special commissioner from South Australia, has been in town for several days, and has been going around among merchants and manufacturers to call their attention to the coming,international exposition in" Adelaide in 1887, and although his work has thus far been necessarily of a preliminary nature, he expresses himself as extremely gratified with its results. He proposes to visit all the leading cities of the country, and he expects to see the United States well represented. Australia is a great country, and it people are of tbe go-ahead kind which makes speedy progress. Its population is speedily growing up—in some localities at a larger ratio than even in our own west. "You may imagine what kind of a people we are," said he, "when at the last race for the Melbourne cup, which iB to Australia what the Derby is to England, we turned out 230,000 strong to see Martini win."

The investigation began by Senator Low's committee on the adulteration of food is ended, and it has developed facts which almost make one shudder at the stuff that we eat. Really it is impossible to see how the dairy interests of the country ean be maintained if the adulteration of butter is allowed to continue in this way. When men who worked in oleomargarine factories testify that their finger nails were rotted off, that their hair fell out, that their bodies were covered with sores, and that they "were seized with hemmorhages of the lungs in consequence of nitric acid poisoning, one can hardly continue to eat butter. And what is most remarkable, is that all the dealers in this staff say that the boarding houses keep up the sale of the material. Mr. F. B. Thurber, the free trader, the anti-mo-nopolist and the friend of the workingman, wisely went out of the way before this investigation. He had the best of reasons, for MB house handled most of thia villainous adulterated stuff, and made fortunes out of it.

store, and deals oat poisons to be used in the arts and trades. They fill physicians' peremptions, and furnish the people with local remedies for themselves and for the domestic animals. Certainly every druggist should have such a knowledge of chemistry, the action of drags upon the systein, poisons and their antidotes, that he can fill prescriptions intelligently and make no blunders with death-dealing drags.

Should the next legislature pass a law compelling pharmacists to be graduates of speaai schools, provisions should certainly be made by the state for their education. The public health is a matter which concerns every citizen. There are enough schools for the education of physicians, and tbe state would do well to suppress some of those which now exist under state charter, by appointing an examining board independent of all medical colleges and faculties, to examine and confer license to practice upon all would-be doctors. But the state has heretofore afforded no opportunity for apothecaries to gain an .adequate education, although pharmaceutical practice is a matter which concerns every citizen and demands state aid and regulation quite as much as medical practice. Indiana students have heretofore been compelled to seek a knowledge in Ann Arbor, Cincinnati or Philadelphia. Purdue is the state industrial school. Under President Smart Purdne has eliminated the dead languages, thrown overboard the normal school department, given metaphysics the grand bounce, and is making the school something more than a pile of bricks and a catalogue. The state a normal school at Terre Haute, and a school of general science, art and literature at Bloomiagton. These are under the presidency of eminent edacators, and are well officered and conducted. The place for teachers to be educated at the state expense and for the public schools is in the State Normal School, at Terre Haute. Graduates of high schools wishing to attain the higher education under the patronage and at the expense of the state, will find the doors of the State University always open to them, and can graduate in either arts, science or philosophy. But Purdue is of a different stripe, and looks to other ends. It is a school of agriculture and the mechanic arts by profession and by the intent of its endowers. Its mathematics and drawing are with reference to mechanics and engineering its botany and zoology are made economic and practical its chemistry looks beyond theory to practical application in pharmacy and agriculture. It is quite right that Purdue should also take to itself the education of pharmacists. The school is well equipped with lecture rooms, laboratories, museums and apparatus. Its botanical laboratory is better fitted with microscopical apparatus, for objective study, than that of any school the west. Its chemical laboratories are ample. At the head of both these departments are able, practical and successful instructors. The expense to the state of a pharmacuetical department will be small in proportion to the conrse of instruction offered. The board and faculty have determined to maintain a school of a high degree of excellence, and Bhould, therefore, secure the hearty good will, not only of the pharmacists, but also of the people of the state at large, as the necessity for such a school is apparent, and its formation in sympathy with the present energetic and efficient^ management of the university. lit rf iSs What Science Offers You.

Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first successful restorer of faded or gray hair to its natural color, growth, and youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, but none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. HALL'S HAIR RENEWER has steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its unparalleled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises.

The proprietors have often been surprised •j, the receipt of orders from remote coun-i-i us, where they had never made an effort for ts introduction.

The use for a short time of HALL'S HAIR ,: -..\EWER wonderfully improves the personal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from •ill impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic preparations, but remain along time, which makes its use a matter of economy.
