THE MARRIAGE PROBLEM.

It is the Most Important for the Safety of the Social Fabric. W. E. Gladstone in the Nineteenth Century. __ 'JL'hegreatest and deepest of all human controversies is the marriage controversy. It appears to be surging up on all sides around us, and every book which helps definitely to map out its lines has on that account both interest and value. It is in America that from* whatever canre, this controversy has peached a stage of development .more advanced than elsewhere. Moreover, the present social life us America offers at all points a profoundly important field of observation. toward which European eyes have hardly yet begun to be turned. This social life, if it doesnot already embrace the largest province of the entire social life of civilized man, will shortly embrace notthe largest only, but the largeest beyond all comparison, and will form, in constantly growing proportions, a telling element in the general condition of Christendom and even of humanity at large. The present social life of America may be said to be a new formation and to have begun at a date which would warrant our applying to it the alternative title of Waverly, “ ’Tis Sixty Years Since.” Mrs. Stowe must have drawn upon the experience of her early days in her admirable New England hovels, such as “The Minister’s Wooing,” but the Parity i life which she describes appears to have vanished. ht, least from the wealthier circles of American society. The true meaning of a discussion which calls into question the ancient and specially Chiistian Constitution of the family is that it is a vast upthrow in the world of thought and fact which, if consumated, will change in time the whole moral surface of the earth, and shift, in a revolutionary sense, the polarity of life. The chief spur thrown out laterally from the great upthrow is in America. Many a'reader on this side of the water will be startled when be learns that in the old Stale of Connecticut one marriage is dissolved in every ten, and the new State of California one in every seven. He may learn with equal surprise that in South Carolina there is (as I am informed; no legal divorce whatever; I mean, of course, divorce which leads the way to remarriage. Again, it is necessary to bear in mind that the divorces, as well as the marriages, of anyone State are acknowledged in the courts of every other. I understand that the experience of America, as well as of this country tends to show that divorce is largeiy associated with that portion of communities which is lacking in solid and stable conditions of life generally America may suffer specially from the shiftings of relative position and circumstances incidental to a forward movement in things material of an unexampled rapidity, and it may also be true that a State like Connecticut has to answer for many offenses not her own, though she can not be exempted from full responsibility for the laws she has chosen to enact. We must beware of all sweeping and premature conclusions. But it seems indisputable that America is the arena on which many of the problems connected with the marriage state are in course of being rapidly, painfully and perilously tried out. In so far she is intrusted, like a prerogativa tribus, with the destinies of others and may do much by her example to make or mar them.

A Boy’s Logical argument. b.'wMon Journal. The Up River News gives the following reminiscence of an incident in an Oldtown lyceum forty years ago, te which all the doctors, lawyers and ministers of the town belonged. One evening capital punishment was the question being discussed, and called out the best forces on both sides. During the evening a young boy, who had been a constant member, replied to Deacon Rigby upon this question. The deacon was for hanging. The ooy opposed. Said the deacon, quoting from the Mosaic law: “Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed.” Thinking this to be a bombshell to his opponents, he dwelt upon it till his time expired, when the boy Sprang to his feet and said: “Supposing we take the law which the gentleman has quoted, and which in a philosophical sense has been abrogated as null and void since the birth of our Saviour, and see what the logical deduction would come to. For example, one man kills another, another man kills him and so on until we come to tbs last man on earth. Who’s going to kill hhn? He dare not suicide, for that same law forbids it. Now deacon,” said the boy, “what are you going to do with last man?” Thnboy’s logic called out rounds of applause and vanquished the deacon. The boy is now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Melville W. Fuller.

This is the first appearance of a descendant of the cave dwellers as a lecturer among A) yans. Nothing is heard from Washington of the appeal to Congress for the coinage of half-cent pieces that was adopted by the Convention of the Newsdealers’ National Association. These coins are greatly needed in trade, according to this appeal, which says that “the American cent represents a higher value than that of the smaller European coinage, higher than. English farthings, French centimes, German or Dutch halve centen, and that the difference in value between the American cent and the small Asiatic coin is still larger.” It is understood that Senator Blair of New Hampshire favors the coinage desired by the Newsdealers’ National Association, but he has few backers. St. Nicholas has a good account of the JEpyornis maximus, the largest bird ever known to exist. It was a sort of gigantic ostrich, taller than our largest animal, and almost as bulky. It was wingless, depending for safety on its speed and strength. It is estimated to have traveled at the rate of a mile in two minutes, which is good time for steam. The bird is extinct, and the only complete known egg is in the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris. It is cracked, but complete. It measures 3 feet in circumference, and holds 8 quarts, with a shell of half an inch in thickness. The evolution of the earth has been stoadily toward a reduction of the size of living creatures, and a perfection of organic power and function. The humming bird of to-day ranks vastly higher than the uEpyornis of the older ages. ‘ : : ___ - ~"' j-' Senator Cullom, Chairman of the Inter State Commerce Committee of the United States Senate,who put Chauncey M.

With the natural resemblance of a long and lean figure and a strong-featured face enhanced by shaving his upper lip, and leaving his beard to grow, the Illinois Senator really does look at firstg lance a good deal like the great President, or rather as Lincoln might have looked if he had less trouble on his mind during his public life, for there is nothing indicative of an over-weight of official burdens about the feature of Senator Cullom. Those who knew him well accuse him of carrying his desire to appear a second Lincoln even further than looks, and say that he affects mannerisms that are populary supposed to have been peculiar to Lincoln, and that he tries to tell stories like those of the immortal Abe.—N.

THE WORST WRECK, PHYSICALLY

Of any Man this Country ever saw, CUBED. * Jackson Mien., October. 1885. Rheumatic Syrup Co. Gentlemen: —ln November, 1884, I was cut in the wrist by a broken bottle, from which I suffered extreme pain I called doctor who pronounced it sciatic rheumatism. He gave me a morphine injection in my right shoulder, which resulted in paralyzing my right side. - I was kept under the influence of morphine until last March. My right leg and arm had become badly withered and my joints were so stiff that there was but little action in them. About that time I discontinued the use of morphine. About six weeks ago I first heard of your Rheumatic Syrup and was advised to try it. And here let me impress this fact upon your mind, that my right arm and leg were shrunken, paralyzed, and withered se much that I could hardly walk or swing along, and that but little, and attended with great effort and pain. Since I have been taking your Syrup I have left off the use of crutohos entirely, and only use a cane, and for the past few days I often forgetit and walk without any aid. To say that lam happy, and that it has greatly benefited me, but poorly expresses my idea of your Rheumatic Svrup. Yours trulv, C. D. DENIO. Dealer in General Groceries, corner Trail and Mechanic Streets. Mr. C. D. Denio is a man well known in this community, and was probably the worst wreck, physically, of any man this country ever saw. He waaparalyzed from rheumatic poison, and no one ever expected he would get well. He is well, and it is simply marvelous. The above statement made by h>m is true, and may be fully relied upon.

STATE SCHOOLL-BOOK LEGISLATION.

New England Journal. A crisis has been reached in the condition of the public mind in a few Western States, concerning th** publication of school books. There will be, hereafter, a better understanding, amors healthy conditioffof public sentiment. With the origin of the agitation we have nothing to do. Suffice it to say that the buoyancy of spirit and temper of criticism that they have Characterized a half-dozen rapidly exploded and early forgotten agitations directed itself to the publication of school books with rare fury. It was useless for any one to protest,or express an opinion. Nothing less than an “official investigation,” full and genuine, would answer the case. It was fortunate, therefore, that the legislative commission recently appointed by the Senate and the House of Ohio to investigate “busts,” visited Cincinnati for the purpose of summoning a ’arge number of witnesses, publishers, booksellers, agents, and others, who were examined under oath as to the alleged “school book trust.” Full reports of the testimony were published in the city papers. As this is more than a local issue, and as it is the first official utterance upon a matter regarding which there has been much heedless talk, we give the result in detail: It was proven by the sworn testimony that there is not now, and never has been, any “school book trust,’’ or any “pooling of issues,” or anything else in the nature of a trust, or any arrangement to lessen competition in prices. But there is, however, a “School Book Publishers’ Association,” organized and susta:ned solely for the purpose of bringing the business of introducing books under wholesome regulations and proper restrictions, having reference only to the operations of traveling agents and resulting in the best interests of the public.

It was proved that there is not now, and has never been, any combination among publishers for the purpose of maintaining, or “keeping up,” or in any manner controlling, or tending to control the prices; but on the contrary, its avowed object is to “cheapen the price of school books,” and that such has been the result, every house, member of the association, being free to make tbeir prices and terms as low as they please, change them as often as they please, reduce them as much as they please, and sell their books as cheaply as they can afford. and never has been, as alleged, a division of territory among publishers, such as assigning one State, or a portion of a State, to one firm, and another to another; but that on the contrary, all publishers are at a perfect liberty to compete patronage in any State or county where competition is not prohibited by law, and that the only reason why the publications of certain houses are more largely used in one section of the country, while those of other houses are more largely used in other sections, is the natural result of choice in selection, local preference, and the natural desire for uniformity. It was proved that there is not now, and never has been, as alleged, any such thing as “school book monopoly” in any State, county or territory.-except where such ‘ monopoly” has been forced upon communities by unwholesome Jaws creating sucn monopoly; but that on the contrary, with these exceptions, every State, county and city is open alike to the competition of ail school book publishers whenever they desire to submit their publications upon their merits, together with their most liberal terms. Boards of education are at liberty at all times, and have the privilege of selecting, according to their choice, from all the great number of series published, and can be supplied at the very lowest exchange introduction, wholesale or contract prices, and upon the most favorable terms afforded to any State, county or city. It was proved that since the organization of the “School-book Publishers’ Association” the evils resulting from the sharp competition among rival publishers, such as strife and disagreement among the boards of education and factions in communities, haye been almost entirely obviated, and at the same time the prices of school books materially reduced. For instance, that the retail prices of school books have in most places been lessened fully 20 per cent., and where they are sold at the publishers’ net contract prices? from 33j to 4 > per cent, and that these contract prices are lower than the prices of any books published by State appropriation at the expense of tax payers.

This will do much toward calling a halt in the injudicious actemps of legislatures to set up a book publishing establishment of their own, supplying, at public expense, that which' private enterprise has done much better and at lower rates. Tbe educational sentimen', so far as we know it, is most decidedly opposed to any step backward in educational progress, such as seems inevitable under the machine-like way of maxing text-books by the State. It is nnt out of regard to the publishers, great has been their service to the cause of education by their alertness in embodying in text-book from every advance in methods of instruction; every latest fact in science, history, nature, and philosophy, but out of regard to the cause of education, which means the best good of the country in every respect. It would be practically impossible for any man to do as good, independent, prettrt ssive work for the Btate seeking economy through monopoly as for a publishing house pushed to the utmost generosity by competition. ... Tbe American school-book is recognized throughout the wr rld as a model of good taste and beauty, because competition has led publishers to command the highest skill and the best thought, not es One State dr county, bub of the world. The educational influence of these text-books is felt in every home into which they enter. For these reasons we hold that the school publishers should be considered as essential auxiliaries in the promotion es the highest usefulness of the public schools, and while they engage in their work from a business stand-point, they deserve to be regarded as helpers in the advancement of education, and to g* treated like other honorable business men.
