Bu-- somehow the proposal v/?s r.*?l that day. CHAPTER V. VAT ITV CAN" VAX?T.TISH I.OV3?. Thc following morning Mr. Brent received a letter from his son in Australia, announc? ing his ir.teution of returning to England for a few months. Thc reason of this return the letter went on to furnish. Tho son said he feared his father would think him very foolish: but love was bringing him home, and her..- was tho worst of the mutter-love under very peculiar oirs-umstanoes. He bad fallen in love with-a picture! H?- had seen tho portrait of a girl whose face had iinp?vssed him as nev.?r the living face of any woman had, and having ascertained1 that the original of the picture really lived-, and was English, and not a_dnehes< or a princess, which well site might bt-. l>nt a girl of his own rank in hie. young Brent was determined to find her out ami try to secure h-r for himself. The letter wound np in very ingenuous iangiing?; admitting tho apparent absurdity of tho . whole proceeding: but protesting that tho pas? sion was true and deon, and that nothing cor.M end. i? except realization or absoluta and ascertained kopeh'SsTiess. Rector Brent was a gt-*?d natured man and a kind father: so h-^ sh'-ok his head and ahiled over his s<>u*s folly, being a sage him? self. But he wrote a kind reply, saying . that hisson would !?'always welcome home tinder any conceivable rirrtunstanoos, and that'though'ho mus? confess th*- i.-xpr-dirioh , seemed lather wi] 1. yet he well know that fri '. the latter.scone? of the affair his s.>n would; : be ruled by his ow:: good sense au-; his father's counsc !. : -And now." rho rector said, ns ho foaled this praiseworthy '-pfc-fio. "I think Wfore Per- . cival *-bnv-S;hv>:nc 1 had better havo my af? fairssetth ti." This Tv; said, and as ho spoke ;he'doo??T;at.;his own likeness.in the chimney glass. Something struck him.

Mr. Powderly's Letter. ..1 li ?j ll rid Ch ron ide. If anything were needed to prove the strength aad sound sense of Must-, r Workman Powderly, his last letter to tire Knights of Labor would establish those distinctions for him lie realizes that to wield this great body with elf..cfc iveness they must be controlled with conservative, counsels in the beginning. Tlie Older has been losrog ground in public opinion for some timra and ali because :hings hare been allowed te- go cn in the name of the Knights ofLabcr for which that body was not responsible. Mr. Powderly asks his members to "keep a jealous eye on labor mo?: who never labor." Ile condemns boycott? ing as lie repudiates the use of guns and dynamite, and warns every work- ' man tu at retonns winch cai: net ne work- ; cd out by bauds and brains can never j be effected bv violence and bloodshed. I "it is better to ma?te a convert o' au . enemy than a corpse." Criticism must i bo met in a liberal ami diguiSed wa v. 1 The capitalist is not thc enemy of the j laborer. The two must be brought i nearer together aad not driven further ! apart. The toiler to-day is the capi- ? talist of next year, fer. after all, each i laborer is striving to learn how te win ; and ru wield capital. If there ar* any members of the ; Labor Order in ihis country who har j bored ideas cf bloodshed and destruction \ of property they should not only be j reprimanded by the . Assemblies, but j dismissed from the Order aad turned j over to the police ns public enemies. ! This part Mr. Powderly did not say, but the go"d rd* :hc Order-even thees- j istencc of tho Order-would be pre-, served by such a course. j _ Cc'erfM Ad-irtver. \ ?n our opinion there never was a case j iii this country since thc Government j was restored to docer.? men tin;'justified : a resort ;o lynch law. In all cases iris ? better tn resort to the process of thc j courts whatever may be our feelings. j We are glad tu learn that one of thc judges of ou: State has had the courage j to speak oat on this question. Judge j Kershaw in his charge to the grand ? jurv at Spartau burg some time ago i spoke freely and impressively cn this subject.

We publish the leading particulars of an outbreak in Chicago of a sst of anarchist?, in which they murdered a number of the police of that city. It ! was a most murderous proceeding, with- i out the slightest ground of jdistincation, : lhere being no provocation therefor. A popular encyclopedia stares that the anarchists arc men who ore opposed to thc present organization of society, and j seek to introduce a new distribution of! property and labor, ia which organized co-operation rather than competition i? lo be the dominant principle : but their recent actions at Chicago belie this They ari contemned by a!! civilized so? ciety. It is hard to conceive how thc people of Chicngo restrained themselves from fellowing them and shooting them down and killing them as they would have done rabid dogs. These anar? chists arc exotic*, from Europe whose hatred of nil government they have brought with them to this country A reporter of one of the Chicage newspa? pers interviewed one of the Bohemian anarchists last Thursday and gained from him his views as follows : This Bohemian could not understand why it is that men could not do as they think best. He had come to this country be? cause the emigrant agent who had told him to emigrate had promised him he would come tj a free country. Ile liad come here with the idea that America was a free one, in which he coull do as he pleased. Xow he had found out that the police in this coun? try were just, as bad as those in Europe and protected the property of the rich, which the workingmen wanted to ces c troy because they wanted to compel the rich to become their equals Therefore he hated the American police as much as he did the o ulcers iu Europe and thought it just to kill them. This will give an idea of the cause of thc lat: outbreak in Chicago. It is but just to say that this conduct of the anarchists is very different from that of the workingmen of this country, with which the Iaiter Lave no identification v; hate ver. Shall We Have Water Works. Carolin <z Spa r (-in. Por a iong time some of our citizens have beeu discussing this matter and hoping somehow that some company would undertake the enterprise. Up to this time there has been no general need of water works except in case of iire. It is well known that ifalai'ge lire was to break out here that our cis? terns contain an inadequate supply of water. We have never had any ma- j chinery that exhausted an ordinary weil ? until the building of the ice factory by I Captain Hallett. He has not water sufficient to run his engine and make ice. Even with a pipe, running to a branch for water for his engine, he feels that he cannot depend en his wells for a steady and sure supply. Good water wot ks with a cheap rate weald; induce the erection of machinery re- j quiring water. A foundry is badly 1 r needed here, and a certain supply of ; water might help some man to decide | to come. A good supply of water with ^ hydrants all over town would reduce in- , surat)ce somewhat. It has been the ! history of ail towns, building water j works, that their insurance decreased i twenty to forty per cent. At tho low 1 ..st rare, there would bc a saving to our : citizens, who insure, of ?3.?30 t; each ; year.

See Journal R. W. G. L. page 7'J. Beer. The century has proved that those who devote tr?cir earnings largely to beer, with the idea that it affords them food and strength, are "spend? ing their money forthat which is not bread, and their labor for that which satis?eth not/* which is one of the chief causes why so many of the poor, remain poor, and grow poorer in this prosperous land. Lcibig the great German chemist, says that "if a man will drink eight or len Hasses of beer daily for twelve months, he will take only as much nourishment as he would get in a five pound loaf of broad.'' Drinking beer for nour? ish rn cut is shown in au illustrated lec? ture by Kev. S. S. Ostrander, of Brooklyn, to be equivalent to buying Hour at 1-5 00 per barrel. The nour? ishment of a five-cent glass of beer is only one sixteenth as much as that of a five-cent loaf. As to wine, Dr. Richardson has recently shown that sixteen seven? teenths of an average wine-glass can be evaporated as water, so that in the iinest "winos*" (so called) one pays '27.59 dollar for a pint and a half of spirits" and drugs. The nourishment in alcoholics is about as hard to discover as the warmth of the moon, which is found by delicate instruments to be one twelfth of an ordinary candle twelve feet away.-The i empcrance Century.
