Some time ago. while hotanizinj along the Osage River, iu central Missouri, the writer stopped over night at ' 1 n /I ctAn a n f oil f An?n Sn f llii CA1lfh< I viiaunivut, cL ouiau >V II ill lUf; ouuv*? ( era part of Morgan County. The lot quacious landlord of the little inn, In his anxious endeavors to make the time pass agreeably, recited many war rem- * iniscences, and incidentally dropped the information that an old surveyor's compass, with an interesting history, was a greatly prized relic of a family of that vicinity. Interest in the story . was intensified when he further stated j. that the ccmpass was once the prop- g erty of William Penn, and that there g was much tradition and some recorded evidence to prove that it was the iden- t tlcal instrument with which the nu- ^ cleus of the present city of Philadel- ^ phia was first surveyed. v "xue name 01 me wlul-u uwua this rare historical treasure." said the ^ landlord, "is McNeal, and they live upon a small farm in the northern part of Camden County, sis miles south of tbi's place.". On the following day the pleasures 0 of the botaincal fields were forsaken, t f | ! WILLIAM PENN'S COMPASS. t , g the-McXeal home visited and the Penn n compass, with its attending parapher- | f i nalia, carefully inspected. t The instrument consists of a block i of walnut wood, about three and a half [ inchcs-broad and nine inches long, hollowed into a box.

A heavy steel needle is accurate- n i" ly balanced, and a glass top set in * cement covers the compasa. The move- * ment of the needle is quite limited, as c can be seen in the accompanying mem- | c ory pieture, the swing being through | an arc of only about forty degrees. : a The compass, with the instruments ^ with it, such as rulers, dividers, efc., * ( bears the unmistakable marks of age. The family in possession of this | ^ curious relic has resided in Missouri | * . for many years. Among its numbers c , have been some of the pioneer Meth- s odist ministers of the State, and also 5 General John McXeal, ft Federal com- i1 mander. S According to the documentary history of the instrument, it is claimed that William Penn and his co-worker used the instrument in the survey of Philadelphia, and a few notes were given in the old document. p Whether the compass is a genuine 0 : relic or not could only be determined 8 by comparing the historical data which f accompany it with the old records of ^ i the city of Philadelphia, but the odd e . form and mechanical excellence of the i instrument tend to inspire the casual a i inspector with confidence in the gen- e uineness of its history.?Philadelphia s i Record. o * o A Correct Obituary. c A country editor says: "A properly ( written obituary contains the age, name, relation, date of demise and time of funeral in the first paragraph, p and the rest should be left to a kind n Providence.

It U Done at the Counter?That Is th? Place Where Diseased Bodies. Rninc?l Homes and Crowded Jail* and Almshouses Are Dispensed. I have lately seen in an English newsEaper the announcement that a publie ou3e is for*. sale> and the advertisement contains the following sentence: "These premises are surrounded br numerous manufactories, employing thousands of well-paid hands, who inhabit numberless dwellings in this dense neighborhood. The trade is large, full priced, and mostly done at the counter, approaching $2000 (?400) per month." $3 This coldblooded announcement smells of the pit. Beelzebub himself could not frame a more infernal sentence than this one, in which the dram dealer tells hovr cunningly he has planted his death trap between those laborers' wages and all their needy wives and children. He has reared. his toll gate right in the very track of these well paid hands, so that he may . levy on tnem at tne rate 01 ?zuw jiermonth! For this sum he retails to these operatives disease, poverty, disgrace and endless destruction. We feel ~ ir fingers instinctively twitching to get such a scoundrel by the,jugular, and gripping it until he is as purple in the countenance as anx, of his victims.. But why spend .our righteous indignation upon a foreign liquor seller, .when this same conspiracy against the wage* and honor and lives of workinjmien is being carried on in our land? Precisely the crime which that Englishman so shamelessly advertised is being perpetrat- >. {$ ed here in all our factory towns, in all . our cities, and in a great majority of our villages. At this time the labor question' -v v"j i3 one of the foremost questions of the hour. Discussions about labor, about wages, and about r.he needs of the laboring t 3? classes are engaging the pens 'and the tongues of the ablest writers of the country. Both patriotism and philanthrope are studying the problem: "How shall the laborer be elevated?" and "How shall the inequalities in a degree be remedied?" After all, the chief problem, to my mind. is to teach the laborer how to save and how to use aright' the money which he cams. High wages are not always a blessing. They are often a curse. Master Mechanics tell me that' in the "inflation times," when they paid their hands hid* wages, the increased pay was a terrible i xemptauon. vvuu auuu wages, a mutu i larger traffic in tobacco and rum was "done j at the counter," when wages are low, and work is scarce, he ia tempted to drink, in order to drown worry and sorrow. All winds seem to blow towards the dram shop. This traffic in intoxicants is sometimes tremendous. How else could high rents be paid on so many corners, and so many glittering bars be kept up in th- fashionab'" saloons aa<i hotels? Multitudes of ?he humbler classes may' be rescued from the clutch of the dram. shop by personal effort. This is the line of effort in which the Sawyers, Mood.vs, ! Murphys, Reynolds, Goughs and Williarda j did their best service. Father Mathew j saved thousands of his fellow-countrymen | from the whisky shop by his own personal effort. My Irish gardener refused to touch whisky even as medicine when he was sick. He belonged to a "Father Mathew Abstinence Societv." The dead hand of the Irish apostle held him back. There ? i ia an immense field for this Christian | temperance propaganda among the work- . , ing classes, ana the educated Christian class ought to go into it. Horace Greeley ! told me that none of his work paid better I than this?to open temperance coffee houses, holly tree inns and reading rooms. It i3 a vast boon to the poorer class, who have been done at the counter of the dram dens. Many of even the better grade of la. boring people are pitiably ignorant as to ; the very nature and effect of alcoholic ' stimulants. Patrick or Sandy really be' live that a glass of whisky gives warmthi / / v ^ j and strength. This error is Being corrected in the public schools by teaching every j child the principles of true temperance. : If the commonwealth suffers by the pov! erty. crime and demoralization causea by I the bottle, then the commonwealth is a? | much bound to save its children from I the bottle as to teach them to read and j write. All attempts to break down the counter# are balked as long as costly bars are sua tained by the upper classes. The drinking usage of workingmen will continue just as long as their employers practice the same. Social influences work downj ward. And in the highest tier of society j the decanter is slaying its thousands, too. j Alcohol is no respecter of persons. I Perhaps some of my readers, who will j redden with indignation at that English. J ! rumseller's advertisement, will themselves 'fy j offer wine at their own tables! They pet out liquors at weddings and on New Year's 1 day. Practically, they put their own tables on a par with the dram shop counter! Fashion tempts them to do what avarice tempts the liquor seller to do. Are they any less guilty? Before they warm into I indignation at the temptation set before the poor laborer, let their cheeks crim' son with shame at the example they them' selves are setting.?The Rev. Theodore L? ! Cuyler, D. D., in the National Advocate. Labor and Liquor. m The following extracts are from an article on the subject read by Mrs. Bosworth, of Evanston, 111., before a recent meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Society: i r;v? "Daring a conversation with a manazer I of one of the factories at Chicago Heights i the other day, he told me that the averI age wages of their laborers were from $L 'to $2.25 per day; that ,the majority received about $1.65 per day, and that twothirds of their employes were foreigners, and the average family of children was live, and about one-half of their earnings these men spent in the saloons. "Chicago Heights is a typical factory town, twenty-*even miles from Chicago, on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail- .'3 road. It has a population of about SOOO inhabitants, and yet seventy-two saloons; live and thrive within its limits and ar? able to pay $500 per year liquor license." Arthur Told the Truth. The Religious Telescope, Daytoa, Ohio, effectively comments: "When thoughtful people look at the figures which represent the enormous liquor bill of this country they are wont i to say within themselves, 'Where does all the money come from?' A statement recently made by P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is at least a partial answer to tnat question. He said: 'If it were not for the sa'.oon, do you know, I think that seven-umtd* of the workin^men would have th<dr own. homes instead of paying rent. ^ Ruin i# at the bottom of the whole trouble.'" The Cra?ade in Brief. B'luffton, Ind., U making a big G;jht against the saloon. Public sentiment at Fairfield, Ind.. a Prohibition town, has driven its one jointist out of the place. Lizzie Lawler, aged eleven years, was employed as tarcenaer in a sa'.oon at New Haven. Coan. Her employer was toned $200 and costs. Four little boys from ns many different families of Greensburg, Ind., were made drunk on liquor sold them by a saloon, keeper on Sunday, and the jury that decided the case let the rascal who sold it go scot free. A sharp contest between the temperance and saloon forces in Lyons, Ind.. has been, carried on all year. Already five applications for license have been defeated. Friends of a man who was prevented bv remonstrance from opening a saloon. in Bear Creek township, Ind., refuse to hire as school teacher any one whom. Trustee Whitman has engaged. They declare they will filibuster until the saloon, keeper gets a license.
