A Visitor from the Other ‘WOrld. A Dead Man Visits a Living Friend---Embraces and Talks to Him, SR From the San Francisco Morning Call. ~ Our business is to tell a story as it was told to ns, by the gentleman who underwent the experience, and who, by the way, iz a plain, sensible buainess man, guiltless of either practical or verbal jaiing, whose only care is to increase his store, and to faithfully discharge all the duties and obligations imposed upon him as a good citizen.— There is not a particle of sentiment in his composition; and’ he disbelieves the spiritnalistic theories. So much for the man; not for his story. ~ On Saturday evening last he arrived at his hotel, the American Exchange, late for dinner, and so had to take tie meal ata French restaurant. This was about half past seven o’clock.— With his dinner‘;m took about half a bottle of claret. He ate or drank nothing more during the evening. [lt is well to bear this fact in mind, as it shows his system was in a perfectly normal condition, and his brain clear, at the time of the visitation.] Feeling very much fatigued as the evening drew on, on account of attention to businegs during the day, and for several days preceding, he came to the conclusion that his great need was a gound and undisturbed night’s rest.— "To obtain this, he detgrmined to leave his room in thé hotel for that night, and occupy a furnished apartment in the building where his store is situated. S kL He changed his room to escape the inevitable morning noises at the hotel, and thus be allowed to;sleep as late into Sunday morning as he choose.— He is not conscious of any other motive for doing so, though some spiritua-. lists may say that he was impressed to make the change. He reached his room about eleven o’clock, it the gas, and set about preparing for bed. He ‘had divested himself of his day clothing, and was standing in front of a large mirror, buttoning the neck-tie of his night-shirt, with his face at /the same time towards the door of the room leading to the hall way. His mind was dwelling on nothing particular at the time, and he was humming an operatie air. : : Suddenly he became conscious of a ‘presence other than his own, and then was clasped about the body so tightly that the pressure was almost euffocating. ' He found himself face -to tace with Frank ——, who died about three months ago, and with whom he was on intimate terms during his life time. There stood his friend fronting. him, looking straight at him. The face was closely shaven, the ‘eyes bright, and the lips parted with a half gmile as in life. Even the clothes in which he was dressed were the same as worn by him on the day preceding his- death. Still holding him in his embrace, Frank spoke to his friend ; . | « Harry, you are a good soul. You have been kind to me, and good to my wife gince I left.”” - [He spoke further about some business matters, but we do not feel at liberty to repeat the words: ] s By this time Harry had withdrawn from Frank’s embrace, when the latter grasped his hand and said : «(Good bye, Harry. Thereis much happiness in store for you.” ‘ glere he had partially recovered | himself, and was about to speak, but before he could frame the words, Frank was gone, melted into thin air. The door did not move on its hinges ; there were no foot-fallsin the hallway outside; but as suddenly as . this gtrange visitor had come, he degarted, and Harry was left alone, filled with astonishment, but, as he declares without any feeling of fear, : _ ~ The result of the interview was such that, for a moment, he had doubted if his friend were dead ; but he had been resent at his funeral, and dropped a Eandful of earth on ‘the coffin lid that he was sure covered his mortal remains. Then he thought some one had played a practical joke to terrify him; but there was no one besides himself in the building, and all the doors were: securely locked and barred. ' In despair at the task of accounting for this strange affair, he lit a cigar to aid him in his perplexity ; and finally sought his conch, where he slumbered peacefully for the rest of the night. ' The ghost, .if such a high pressure visitor can be called ghostly, left a momento of his visit behind him.— Harry declares that atthe moment he was go tightly embraced, his thumb came in contact with a button on Frank’s coat, and he experienced congiderable pain. In the morning, on awakening, he again felt the pain, and, looking at his thumb, found the skin slightly abraded. - i b This was the story as it was told to us. Harry, as we said before, is a sensible, practical, unromantic business ‘man and po believer in spiritualism.— He has nothing to- accomplish in de: ceiving his friends, and, as a gokez it would be sorry enough to be beneath contempt.’ It may be considered one of the marvels of the latter days—not to b&believedibir many, and incapable “of solution byall. :

. ~“MARRIAGE ALA MODE NOUVELIE.'—An old Dutch farmer, just arrived at the dignity of Justice of the Peace, had his first marriage case. He dished it up in this way. He first said to the man: . “Vell, you vants to be marrit, do you? Vell, you love dis woman 2o goot. a 8 any woman you have ever gee 1"’ : Ll “Yes,” anawered the ‘nan. oo Then to the woman: - r | “Vell, do you love dis man so better a 8 no man you never seef”’ .

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 15690.

A LPRP LR g - The purchase of Alaska by the late administration was made the subject of a good deal of newspaper talk at the time of its consummation, and adverse criticism was indulged by many persons who knew nothing of the soil, climate or productions of the acquisition. In fact the best informed ﬁnew but little of the country, but many persons had sufficient confidence in the sagacilgr ot Mr. Seward to believe that he had arrived at a reasonable estimate of the value of his purchase before he concluded the negotiation.’ Mr. Seward has himself made a summer tour to Alaska, andin a ?yeech delivered by him at a public eception tendered him in Sitka City, he gives the world the result of his personal examination of our new possessions in the far northwest. It seems that the investment is one by no means to be despised. The territory presents ample attractions for emigration, in its inexhaustible mineral wealth, its waters teeming with fish, its forests with game, 'with a sea-coast twice as long as that of the United States, with a climate warmerin winter and cooler in summer than that of New Yorl, with a scenery “which surpasses i sublimity that of either the Alps, the Apennines, the Alleghanies, or the Rocky mountains.”

Speaking of the productions of Alaska in detail, Mr. Seward tells us that the rivers are broad, shallow and rapid; the seas are deep and tranquil. The marine treasures of the territory are incalculable. The whale abounds, besides the'sea otterythe fur seal, hair -seal and the walrus, .in the waters which enrivon"the western islands, while the seas lying 'shoreward, and surrounding the islands near the coast, are teeming with cod, salmon and ocher fishes which constitute luxuries in all the markets of the civilized world. Mr. Beward grows eloquent over what he has himself seen, and says the riches of the seas and rivers of Alaska have almost made him ‘“a convert to the theory of some naturalists, that the waters of the globe are filled with stores for the sustenance of animal life, surpassing :the available productions of the soil.” The fisheries on the banks of Newfoundland are destined, at no distant day, to be outstripped by the productions of those along the shores of Alaska. 3 :

The forests of this country are eomposed of the choicest timbers of the world, valuable for lumber, building and ‘cabinet work. . Among the species of timber enumerated by Mr. Seward areinne,A cedar, spruce, fir, larch and hemlock. The forests begin almost at the water’s edge, and rise with regular ‘gradation to the height of 2,000 féet. Within these vast unbroken solitudes of nature is found an abundance of elk. and deer, so plentiful, in fact, as not to be valued by the natives for purposes of food, and are only hunted for their gsking. The fur boaring animals are’ the black and grizzly bear, mountain sheep, almost inestimable on account of their fleece; the wolf; fox, beaver, otter, mink, raccoon, marten, ermine, and vadious species of the squirrel.— The furs here found have, for more than a hundred years, been the chief element for the profitable commerce of the Hudson’s Bay company. - = ‘lt is stated, as a remarkable fact, that the increasing mildness of the winters has been almost fatal to the ice crop for several years, though the country lies so far to the north we would naturally suppose ' that a per: petual winter wounld prevail. ‘ In addition to the wealth of the geas, the rivers and the forests, the earth contains unlimited treasures of rich ores, which will attract a large immigration | when facilities to travel, and a good government have been provided. If Mr. Seward’s picture ofthe future of Alaska ghould seem a little rose-colored, the following paragraph from his speech will show that he has ‘a reason for the faith which is in him:

“ Within the period of my own re- ] collection I have seen twenty new States added to the eighteen which before that time constituted the American Union, and now see beside Alaska ten territories in a forward condition of preparation for entering into the same great political family.. I have seen in my own time not only the first electric telegraph, but even the first railroad and the first steamboat invented by man. And even on this present voyage.of mine I .have fallen in with the first steamboat " still afloat, that thirty-five years ago lighted her fires on the Pacific ocean.— These, citizens of Sitka, are the guarantees not only that Alaska has a future, but that that future has already begun.” s 16 : Mzr, Seward recommends that a territorial government be at once provided for the country, in order that immigration obeying its great laws of attraction, may safgly take its way hither. At the time of life of the late ‘secretary of state we do not’ believe that he is spinning the yarn of fancy; on the contrary he evidently believes the truth has not half been told. A recent writer in Harper’s Magazine confirms all that Mr. Seward has said of the vast amount of animal life within the waters and the forests of Alaska, and of the wealth of the forests themselves as a lumber region. = = We have no donbt,!.ﬁ; the purchase will be found to be a valuable one, and that it will be a historical monument-to Mr. Seward’s foresight a 8 & statesman. g

Martin Allen, of New York, supplanted William J. Hamilten in the affections of Emma Reid, and began educating her in the gentle profession of panel thief., William undertook to ‘cook Martin’s goose for him, but shot “and killed William Madden, who had ‘the misfortune to look like Allen.— Hamilton apoclogized handesomely when he discovered the mistake. . ' A tour round the world may now ‘be made in eighty days. The only portion of the route on which steam is not used is about 140 miles between Allahabad and Bombay, and that interruption will ghortly cease, as the works for. completing the railway are carried on actively. .

; . TOBACCO. S l; / It does me good to see boys chew "{obacco. It is o interesting to see ( them gquirt. Drive out the ducks.— How much puke is spilt before chewing is learned. But what’s that compared with the glorious privilege of paying iaternal revenue tax? How much dogleg, black-strap and musty fine cut can you “chaw” in nineteen or twenty years? Does your maternal ancestors sometimes accuse you of using the dirty stuff and don’t you lie? She .points to your shirt front. Oh that’s walnut juice or something.— Such charming teeth as white as albaster, and breath like the rose bush.— Have you learned to take a drink of water without taking your wad out? If not yon must do it. That’s a great triumph. Stunted growth, trembling form and diseased action of the heart 'are nothing, The -best reason ever ‘given for chewing tobacco is, to get the juice out, - Does your father sometimes. hire you notto “chaw?’ Asa matter of course you don’t do it when you're down by the éreek or in the ‘hay mow. Did he ever choke you 'suddenly to find the quid? You can’t get goody tobacco anyhow. The tax is so high. Dreadful is’nt it? What ‘willbedone? We'll have a law passed making it a penal offence to put dirty molasses, spoiled licorice, copperas and other hurtful subBtances in tobacco, Its unfriendly to associate common « material with ambrosia, ‘geach and honey, and fleur de luce.— Bquirt- your dye stuff boys. An umberella is most always needed at such a time and a good boat would sometimes come handy. A person can generally avoid the disgusting puddle when found in a car the neauseating abomination must be endured. ' A good gized hog-wallow is by far preferable. CHALLOPS.

‘ © Vigorous Women. e Physically our” American women of to-day present a striking contrast with those of ten years ago. Wasp-like waists have disappeared. Delicate limbs, langnid countenances, and frail constitutions generally have ceased to be at a premium, and in their places we have strong limbs, ruddy cheeks, and robust constitutions. The English women are yearly becoming the model. Without becoming strong‘minded, in the common acceptation of the term, our wives, daughters, and sisters are becoming stronger physically. We do not allude, of course, to those whose lives are devoted to-a round of fashionable gayety and dissipation. This encouraging change is to a considerable extent due to our outdoor pastimes inaugurated among the women. - Horseback riding, ten-pins, croquet, billiards, skating, and walking have ceased to be confined' to the sterner sex. Women eagerly embrace these amusements, and seemingly derive all the enjoyment thoy are c“apable of yielding. The English girl, who thinks noth-. ing of doing a five-mile walk" before breakfast, now finds a competitor in her- Amgrican cousin... Many of the most devoted and skillful disciples of the curling art belong to the other sex. Women wield their croquetmallets, pocket billiard balls, and make ten strikes with all the enthusiasm of the male sex. A fondness and taste for these pastimes should be fostered and developed, instead of being repressed and checked, through fear of their making women unwomenly.— “Marriage,” says Michelet, “is the chief end of woman.” If such be the cage, she can attain it in no quicker way than by presenting a robust physique, overflowing with animal life and spirits, in contrast to a weak, puny constitution, bending before an adverse wind.—FEzx.

Farmers’ Odds and Ends. A man may fleece his sheep, but not his land. The farmer’s game is “give and take.” ey 3 It is not a lazy farmer who takes to his bed in the morning and stays till night—if the bed is in his garden. - Plowshares are the best investments, ibe dividends are sure in the fall. Fawning is not commendable, but there is no objection to currying favor with one’s cattle. . The best motto for dealing in stock hay is—never sell short. . I't.is sheer nonsense to shear sheep tog early ; take off your own and your fleck’s overcoats at about .the same time. : /Now is the time for the farmer to wend ‘his ways—highways and bywaos Fences should be looked to. Defence of the crops is often staked on a gingle post. k. ok j ﬁaise all you can.

- e s e o e Hudson one g@‘wﬁ%’a bay on the river to shoot ducks or geese, When he came to the river he saw six geese beyond shot. He determined to wait for them to agproaeh the ghore. While sitting there he saw a fox coming down to the shore, and stand some time to observe the geese. At length he turned and went into the woods, and came out with a very large bunch of moss in his mouth. He then entered the water very silently, sank himself, and then keeping the moss above the water—himself - concealed—he floated among the geese. Suddenly one of them was drawn under the water, and the fox soon appeared on the shore with the goose on his back. o He ascended the bank, and found a hole made by the tearing up of a tree. This he cleared, placed in the goose, and gevered it with great care, strewing leaves over it. Thefox then left ; and while he was away the hunter unburied the goose, .and closed the hole, and then he resolved to await the issue. -

In‘about half an hour the fox returned with.another fox in compdny. They went directly to the place where the goose had been buried, and threw out the earth. The goose could not be found. 'They stood regarding each other for some time. when sndsenly, the second fox attacked the other furiously, as if offended by the trick of a friend. During the battle he shot ‘them both.—Murray's Creation. el it The Prénd,ent’l Father. The Louisville Courier-Journal narrates the following incident, which it says'recently occurred in Covington : A gentleman—4 stranger, of course —met old Jesse in the street, and degiring to break a iten dollar bill, stopped him and asked him to change it.— Old “Jesse said he thought he could do so, opened his pocket book and began to fumble overits contents. As he 'did so he cast a side glance at .the stranger, and muttered, in a quick, jerky, gutgeral tone of voice: “Do you know who lam sir?’ . “No,” replied the stranger, “I do not ; who are you?” : « Sir,"” said old Jesse, straightening himselt, “I am the father of the greatest soldier who ever lived.” | “Then,” said the stranger, “your name must be Jacksow; and I thought Stonewall Jackson’s father was dead.”” That ended the interview. |

: | ¢ - Ominous, 1 . It may be regarded as somewhat significant that we are rapidly approaching the important October elections, and yet theve is an almost en: tire absence of the usually heartrending howls for the abused negro. We have looked over our Republican exchanges with due care, and are struck with profound surprise to find a plentiful lacking of horrible accounts of skinned niggers in Texas and roasted loyalists in Mississippi. The barbarous and beastly slave drivers of the South, seem to have lost their unholy lust for the colored virgins, and a strange quiet reigas in the ranks of the terrible Klu-Klux. This may be considered very remarkable. It is certainly ominous, and. we conclude that we are either standing on the verge of a radical volcano, or that the thunder of negro abuses has lost its effect and the loil correspondents’! occupation is gone. Itis hard to keep the people in such anxious expectancy; we ask for at least one “loyal” shriek. The hideless African tarries strangely ; let him reappear by all means. i

" Has the President yet Come? - The hour of death has come. Only a Yew brief moments remain to John A. Rawlins. “Has the President yet come ?’ he anxiously asked. The hysician was sitting by :the bedside, golding his wrist, and carefully noting the fluctuation of his rapid pulse, so as to vary the stimulants, and prolong to the. utmost. . There was such a deep féeling—so much of agony—in the tone of the dying Secretary, that the strong men who were gathered around him, from their spontaneous sympathy with the sufferer, promptly renewed their oft repeated assurances sthat the President would soon-be there. _ «I hope I may see him before all is over,” said-the dying Rawlins. “You ghall, my dear friend, you shall,”" responded General- Sherman, deeply moved., oo fie s _ ; But General Grant came not.” He had lingered too long in the lap of pleasure to receive the last blessing of his expiring comrade. Yet Rawlins was never missing when Grant wanted him. And itis probably safe to say to-day—with all the solemnity of history—that had there never been a Rawlins, there would never have been a Grant.—New York Sun.

T WHOIDA GENTLEI=a® e A gentleman is not merely a person, acquaioted with certain forms and ctiquette of life, easy and self-possessed in society, able to speak’'and act and’ move in the world without awkwird-" ness, and free from habits which are’ vulgar and in bad taste. ' A ﬁﬁtﬂléﬁiz’m is something beyond this; that which lies at the root of all .his pleasing is the same spirit which lies at the root of every Ciristian virtne. It is the thoughtful desire of doing in every.instance to others as he would: that others should do unto him. He is constantly thinking, not indeed how he may give pleasure to others for the mere sense of pleasing, but how he can show respect to others—how he may avoid hurting their feelings. When he is in society, he scrupulously ascertains the position and relations of every one Witg(')whom" he comes in contact, that he may give to each his due honor,-hig proper position. . He studies how he may avoid touching in eonversation upon any subject which may needlessly Enrt their feelings—how he may abstain-from any allusions which may call up a disagreeable or offensive association. A gentleman never alludes to, never even appears conscious of any person’s defect, bodily deformity, inferiority of talent, of rank, of reputation of the person in whose society he is placed. He never assumes asr superiority to himself—never ridicules, never sneers, never bhoasts, never makes a display of his.own power, or rank, or advantages—sguch ag is implied in ridicule or sarcasm, or abuse—aB he never indulges in habits, or tricks, or! inclinations which may be offensive to others. g ! ity 4 R g : . - Indigestion. o Indigestion consists in a diminution of secretion from the gastric and intestinal mucous surface, so that the assimilative process is interfered with, and the animal suffers congequently in health. Indigestion may be caused by disease of the teeth preventing the. groper mastication of food, or by deective quality or deficiency in: quantity of -the secretion of -bile. i In the horse, indigestion is indicated by unthriftiness of the coat and dryness of the'skin; the-belly has a tuckedap ?pearance ; the appetite'is diminished, but sometimes the. animal feeds as usual, or may éven eat more than usual. . Hay appears impacted in the dung balls which he voids, or grains ot oats appear entire in them, and the smell oF his dung is generdlly very disagreeable. He purges sometimes, especially when heated or worked ; perspires readily, and is easily fatigued. In cows we observe a diminisﬂd appetite,’and a desire to pick up and swallow dirt, sand, lime, ete. The feeces "are hard, scanty and coated with mucus. The animal falls out of condition, and the secretion of milk is very poor and scanty, . . Attention must be directed to the proper regulation of the animal’s diet; to'the proper ventilation of the stable, and also to the moderate working of the animal, as ¢ircumstances which must receive due attentibn in treating this disorder. Turning the animal out to grass in ‘the spring of the year,. when it can benefit by exercise and fresh air, will' be found ‘to be very beneficial. During the winter, carrots, turnips and boiled oats, may be given to horses ; and when their appetite is. fastidious, an ounce of a mixture of equal parts of bruised coriander seeds, and common salt may be given at each meal.—Prairie Farmer. = - -

oy From the Neo. York Sui. A book in defense of polygamy, by a writer: prbiis,sﬁzg‘zto be ‘st'eghrigti‘uu,‘ is certainly ‘& hovelty calculated to awaken attention, “Buch abook is Polygamy and HMonogamy Cempared, just published. by James Campbell, of Boston.” Of theauthor we know no more than that he styles himself*in the title page “A’ Chngm' tian ‘Philanthropist,” and says afterward: that ‘he is a native of New England, was bro’t up a strict Puritan, and in his youth became a memberof the church. ITe went through college,’ and was studying law ‘when his health broke down, and he was obliged to take s situation in a DBoston mercantile house.. In the course of his employment Lo was sent to the East Indieg, where he resided for a long fime, being now, as' it would seem from the periods of time mentioned, sixty years of age. It was while in the East that his® attention ‘was called to the subject on which he writes. He was' surprised to find some of the American missionaries allowing the native converts to-have a plurality of wives, and still more to be fotd by them that ‘the bible did not forbid the practice. This set him to inquiring into the matter, and the result’ was a convictioh on. his part, not only that polygamy id permissible, but that enforced monogamy s “the joint offspring of paganism and Remanism,” and should be abolished. He therefore gives this" book to the world in order to help remove the popular prejudices of Christians against what he regards as a good and useful in: stitation. raah =

. On the Scriptural and historical side ‘of the argument our author is of course rrefutable. - Polygamy is recognized and -approved over and over againin the Old Testament, ,and not condemned in. the New. Ind®ed, theinjunction of the apostle, that a bishop should bethe husband of one wife, would seem-to imply that it was the custom for other persons in the Church at:that day to have more than one. The practice of the world from the: earliest historical period is alse in fayor of polygamy. All the great nations of antiquity = were polygamists, and it was not until - comparatively modern ‘ times that - limiting men to a single wifc was ‘thought of. £ st Practical considerations, our author says, also require that the restrictions upon marriage be removed. 'ln many communities, such as Massachusetts, women greatly outnumber men; dnd; besides, many of the men are engaged in occupations which preyent their marrying, thus lessening still further women’s chances of obtaining husbands. The resnlt is an immense number of old maids pining away in solitude, who might become happy wives and mothers if men able to support them were allowed to matry several of them, instead of one only. Prostitution also, “he asserts, would be greatly diminished by the introduction of polygamy.— ‘A dissatisfied husband would simply take a second or third wife instead of resorting to an irregular connection. . ' ... o - In meeting the oljjection ;bat,*polygab = my causes dissension and jealousy between the wives, the author denies that it does 80 any more than monogamy. He also denies that it is any more ‘degrading, to. women than the dependence upon & liusband that a monogamical marriage en tails. On the contrary, it is one of woman’s- rights to have, and be dependent on, & husband, and none the less because another wife is also dependent upon that same husband. ‘“For example, there are two female friends residing together, and mubually dépendent upon each other for ‘many of their social enjoyments and for much of their intellectual, moral culture. ‘A wealthy young man of their acquaint‘ance calls upon them frequently and ad‘mires them both, and they enjoy his visits, for neither of them has any other male associates. ‘At length he invites them 'both to a public entertainment— Neither of them " would be willing to leave her friend and go with him alone, nor could he well endure the thought of ‘enjoying himself abroad with one while the other would be deserted and negleet‘ed at home—the other who ,%ould enjoy the entertainment so much, and whose enjoyment would so much enhance theirs,.— Now, if this triple companionship s‘ha‘:i ripen into friendship, and the friendship’ iuty love; and the' love shall . resuléin a triple marriage, where is the degradation ? : ‘Would. it not be still more heartless to - desert eitlier of the friends now when each heart is thrilling with the harmoni'ous music of the triple love” = = =

In.the course of his argument our friend goeg into an exposition of theimmoralities and licentiousness of society, both in the Roman Empire and in médern Christen‘domy;. which'is unfit to be repeated. ' The gist of his reasoning is, that if polygamy were, allowed, there would be more prosti‘tution, adultery,or licentiousness, and no . ~ugeless old maids. .The rich men would make up’ the deficiencies of the poor by taking to wife the women the poor men . failed to marry, and thus the admirable order-of the patriarchal age would be re-: ‘stored to the world. v ; As we have said, the Bible and the testimony of history are:all.on the side of: the-author. Nor is it' certain that there ‘are any practical difficulties in the way of the. change he proposes. -Surely polygamy is, as ha says, better than the -prostitution enforeed by want in which so many ' women are ‘now -éngaged, ‘ahd it certainly would be no worse if sanctioned by law and custom..than as now: secretly practiced by many men under aunother name. If it be saidfﬁ!iat it‘degrades maeriages to a mere relation of animals, and ! ‘makes of women only conveniences for brutal lusts of men, it can be replied that - the Christian religion, taught by most sects, does the same in monogamical mat‘riage. ' Are “we not told over and over - again, that sex extends only to the body. ‘and that its distinctions cease in the next: world?. Do not religious’ writers and preachers insist upon it that the. sensual, pleasures of matrimony are in themselves ¢ impure and evil? In the marriage service of the Church it is distinctly said that marriage "was ordained by ‘God for ' ‘the procreation ofoffspring and the avoid: ance of fornication; and the Queen of England had to hear this utterance as i he tood at the lar il Prinos Albr. ‘Those, w’ha'mlgg marriage in this way have m«,sthin%“ to do but to keep silence when the po ﬁ@ ime ply carrying out the ‘;%;ZZ iples to thet Tlogieal results, and they eannot meet him RSO M OB ORI E .
