Anarchist John Most annonnges that he will go to England to live.' This at last one thing * which pleases John Most and also pleases this couns try most. Tmreyßtem of patting tiie best foot forward—of showing the sunny side of your character— is ail richt, if it is not prompted by frspirit of deception. It isman's highest duty to weed out the evil and cultivate the noble germs of his manhood. Rkv. Heber Ne'vivn. of New York. Is one of the politico-religionists of which there is about one part of religion to nine parts of politics. We presume it requires all kinds of pdfople to make a world, otherwise we would be in doubt as to Rev. Mr. Newton's in life. - bt the vaunted progress and- unchaining liberties of the present age are we properly guarding the sacred realms of home? There is no higher vocation in life than the building Of homes wherein noble man and woman, hood are moulded. Draw a picture from the realism of life and then der upon the vitalism of this subjectThe recent outbreak in Oklahoma. Which at one time threatened the life of the Governor, was the outcome of an unholy alliance in which a few of the members played Judas for a very small mess of pottage. We are not caring a cent what town gets the capital, but we do regret that the new Territory should have acquired so much political dishonesty in so short a time as it seems to have acquired. The Prince of W ales has given a portrait of himself, clad in Austrian Hussar uniform, to the Francis Joseph, who, presumably, wil. add it to his collection of curiosities The number of pictures of himself which Albert Edward, who is not painfully pretty, has had painted must be great enough by this time to fill the National Gallery, and the togs, frills, dresses, undresses, and uniforms in Which he has cased himself for the purpose of attracting the admiration or the pity of posterity would fill all the shops in W ardour street to the rafters. For a gentleman who never goes to war his propensity for being painted in all his armor dresses is droll enough,- ■

A Charleston merchant recently described the political situation in South Carolina in the following language: “We have hot times now in the politics of South Carolina. ” They are even hotter than they were thirty years ago, when we were preparing to fight, for our people then were ail unfted in favor of secession, and neighbor did not rise up against neighbor, as is the case at this time. There is danger that the peace will be disturbed. Why, the boycotting is going on so that business, trade, and industry are interfered with. The red sniris are out, too, and the negroes have taken the alarm. Your campaign .in New York is a quiet and pleasant affair compared with ours in the Palmetto State. I wish the election was over, for our country dealers cannot carry on their regular business while the storm rages.”

Am Enormous Raft.

The steamer Novo which ait. \ed S&n Francisco recently from No had in tow no less than 5,000,0uv of lumber, The enormous size of this raft can be judged when it would take lat least seven schooners, carrying 800.000 feet each, to bring this load ,£n the ordinary manner. This raft is built on a patent owned by the Fort Bragg Redwood Company and Novo Lumber Company, and was ussd for the first time on this occasion. Unlike the famous Joggins raft, these logs ,are not strapped together. They are contained within a huge boom made of a number of smaller booms of peculiar construction. Each boom is 82 feet long, and composed of seven pieces of timber. Four of these are 12 inches square, and bolted at the end to fourfoot pieces, 16 inches square, and projecting sufficiently to allow of the attachment of a cable to which the booms are joined. The booms are joined and so arranged as to form a pear-shaped figure, into which are placed the logs, all loose. The whole is towed by a 2,000 foot tow line. On the passage down not a single log was lost. Average trips are made in two days, while the Noyo was only four days. To a man a woman’s dress is the surest index to her character. He at onoa associates simplicity in dress with a deal of common sense, and, whether all men will acknowledge it or no, that is the one qqality above all others which they most admire in a wo, man, and wish her to possess. In many respects this is a very short life, •bat, short as it may be, it is a vast ,deal too longer a man to have noth ing but a butterfly of fashion for a wile

Twenty-five years ago two waifs, mere babes, brother and sister, were abandoned by German immigrants at Castle Garden.

BARTTELOT’S CRUELTY.

IJonney, Who Was His Companion in Africa, Tells the Terrible {^tory* The London Times, Sunday, publishes a three column signed statement from Mr. Bonney. The writer opens by regretting that Barttelot’s brother has forced thedis' closure of a painful story. Bonney says that Stanley only heard of the poisoning suspicions from him on the 26th of last October, in the course of conversation on Barttelot’s book. Bonney testifies that when Barttelot and Jameson after questioning Arabs belonging to Stanley’s pres" vious expedition as to the fate of Pococke and others expressed—the opinion thatStanley would poison anybody. He adTnit.tcd that rumors to that effect werecurrentln Europe. Nothing waseveragainst ” Stanley. Barttelot and Jameson agreed not to partake of liis hospitality Bonney confirms the report that Barttelot asked him for a tasteless poison with which to remove the Tippoe Tibs nephew, Selim, with whom he had a quarrel. Bonny protended to search for such person, but hid all the poisons. Ho then told Barttelot, who was angry, that he procured cyanide of potasium, but rejected it as useless for the purpose on acs count of its salinity. Barttelot did not make further attempts to poison Selim. Bonny confirms the statement that Barttelot deliberately hit a woman, and that ho prodded the natives frequently with a steel pointed staff. He says the boy Soudi died from a kick of Barttelot’s and that John Heam, the interpreter, died from a flogging of 300 bushes given by Barttelot. Four soudeuese oach gave him seventy«five lashes, the boy [becoming in. sensible, his body swelling twice its natural size. On the same night he prodded a Manyemathirty times and ended by beating his brains out. He says that he can only account for the cruelty by the belief that Maj. Barttelot wus insane.

Making Money Anywhere.

Having read Mr. Mporehead’s experience in plating with gold, silver and nickel, I sent for a plater and have , more work than I can do. It is sur- j prising the spoons, casters and jewelry * that people want plated. The first J week I cleared $87.10, and in three weeks $119.85, and my wife has made about as much as I have. By addressing W. H. Griffith & Co., Zanesville, Ohio, you can get circulars. A plater only costs $3. You can learn to use it in an hour. - Can plate large or small articles, and can make money any-

where.
