I take great interest in boys. While in Africa we had four native boys in our family hose names I have given you pefore. lhey loved so well to sing, aud soon learned the very songs you know.

THE TARIFF AND THE HOME. Abstract from an Article in Woman's Column by Lucy Stone. A writr in the Minneapolis Specta-or iiecries the voting of women, because she has lound women who do not understand about the tariff and free trade. Most woman are not experts in matters relating to the home. tsiness interests are carefully and promptly guarded by law.

But questions iu which the interests of the home are involved, which are the most important questions of ail, are constantly postponed, or disregarded, or settled the wrong way. A few years ago thimayor of Louisville, tried to enfo'ce the law against the gam tiling dens of that A petition signed by many prominent business men was brought to him, begging him to desist, because the "business interents" of the city would suffer if the gamblers were driven t. Trade would go said, if the traders who came to Louisville could not enliven their business trips with gambling. How many of the wives of those prominent merchants, with boys and girls to bring up, would have signed such a petition? The mayor oi another city made a resolute effort to enforce the ordinances against houses ot ill-fame. He was met with a similar petition from prominent citizens, protesting on the same ground the "business interests." The mayorjof still a third he was a canidte for re-election, addressing a political meeting.

He thought there were only men present. In asking them for tueir votes, he boasted of the fact that these evil resorts been protected and had prospered under his administration.

There's many a sorrow Weuld vanish to morrow, Were we but willing to furulsn the wings: So sadly intruding, And quietly brooding, It hatches all sorts of horrible things, AimnUoneU oy Man.

A move is being made to improve tne condition and give better treat ment to female prisoners in the Bridewell at Chicago. Miss Lizzie Brown, it seems, paid this pest house a visit and reported the most inhuman treatment given to the wretcued females, who, pertiaps through no faultof theirs have been dragged to this black spot, where men half human and the othei half fiend (if we are to believe the re ports of th.m) hold the keys whicii lock them safe, from any one's protection but the majesty of these law appointed officials. The crying sins which there thrivt ana blot our fair escutcheou are un-namable for their atrocity and devil-ishness; and if any argument were needed stronger than that, to give woman a place every where women may be, in prisons, asylums, hospital 6 for whatever cause she may be theie or wuoruever she may be, I haidiv know what condition would call forth such argument. I knew a poor woman once who married a man in early youth aud bore a large family of children by him; lu was a drunkard; abused her always; but the church aid it was holy marriage and must not be broken; the state said the saint thing, unless per chance he shou commit some crime of a certain magnitude, and even then should she declare the marriage voia society would defame her, and drag her down if possible. So she went on living with him, rearing those unbalanced children the oldest of whom, a girl, inherited the beastly appetite for drink.

Well, as they were very poor this girl, when about sixteen summers was compelled to go to work to earn hf bread aud cloti-es. She was firs apprenticed in a book bindery where th foreman soon discovered aud love of drink She was very beautiful in body, her eyes looked out of their lids like the fringed gentian and she was very modest, but oh, the inborn thirst. Reader you may know the rest. This man decoyed her out in the evening, she ftli "Fell as the snowflake from heaven to hell." The anxious, true mother did not, as some mothers do, tuni her out, to go down deeper; no! but she kept trying to save her, alone and unaided she tried every means to win ner back to virtue aud honor; but the maddening thirst operating with the sense ot harm and shame were stronger than God's love, stronger than her mother's love, and she at last began to resort to morphine to still the pain and remorse. One night in her delirious wanderings she was picked up by the police, carted off.

to the station, though she protested, knowing every thing that was said and done, telling where her home was and regging to be carried to it. Wnat did these male officers, what they would have done by a man? No they gave her more morphine aud she slept that night not in the station, but in a disreputable house where one of the officers ou guard bad enticed or lorced.her to go. This is a true story related by the mother of this poor girl to the writer. And do you thing this au isolated one? This terrible incident occurred in a city far removed from this, but uouowess ine same and tar worse occurs in every city on earth every hour of the day aud night. Would it occur it women were on guard? We affirm not.

The argument, that because these women are abandoned they need no protection, is as silly as it is wicked. ho abandons them? Does God? Should we who expt-ct mercy aud for giveness from the Heavenly Father not be willing to go to any depths to ex. end it to others? Oh, God! speed the day of equality to woman. Express July 27, 1889. Mrs.

Stanton' Speech. Thus far we have had a distinctively masculine civilization based on the idea that society is constructed for the nest interests of man alone. As he has been the dominant power thus far during the reign of physical force he has naturally in all his arrangements consulted his own tasets and inclinations. Our best legal authorities from Blacksoue down to Ke.it and Story, all take the ground that man aud woman are not to be judged by the same moral code. This idea runs through all our laws and judicial decisions in all cases iu which man and woman os plaintiff and defeudant ap- pear in our courts, and the popular sentiment iu society life reflect these decisions.

Dedicated to the discussion of all matters of interest to the hi. heruu- foldntent aud greater usefulness of mankind. Will our readers send us short letters relating to everything which wy occur lu their neighborhood and is of valuo, whether it be political, social or domestic. THE INDEPENDENT. We do not mean by independent that we are neutral.

Webster defines It as not relying on others; not subject to control. We mean by this we are fearless and outspoken in defense of right and justice, and cannot be con trolled or muzzled by any corporation We hold an individual opinion. We are aggressive in advocat ng the rights of humanity. Yet we do not assume to condemn individuals and societies for not accepting our opinions. For any fair and logical discussion, tern pered with tolerance for your opp- nent, our columns are open.

We will publish both sides of a question, as every independent journalist should oo. It is the independent papur that leads in the conflict against the liquor poffer, and we are confident that it will continue to be a necessity in all other reforms. It would be a great calamity if all the publishing interests of the country were under the control of any one party. lu discussing the proj osition to loan money from government on real estate security, some bankers aie trying to divert attention by asking this question: "Why leud money to farmers and not to butchers and bakers?" These gentlemen are so habituated to looking through pin holes that they cannot see a hole through a ladder. They are unable to comprehend a broad principle.

The proposal contemplates lending the bestmoney that ever was or can be devised, in on thebestsecurity ever kuown, real estate, whether belonging to the farmer, the butche. or the baker; and in limited quantity to eiwjh borrower, so it be used in active business, but not in large speculations. We can ask these gentlemen, who are so torn up by fears of class legislation, why has government for nearly thirty years loaned money to bankers at 1 per cent per annum, and refused the saie to the armor, and the butcher, and the baker, even when the latter had a better security than bonds of the government? Some of the millionaires and mot op-olists of the east, who want to be regarded as par excellence prohibitionists, are just now preaching the doctrine that the alconolic drink habit is the cause of all the loss and poverty under which the country is now suffering. The two Dakotas, Iowa, and Kansas are among the states where the very worst financial and industrial depression exists. These par excellence prohibitionists thus put themselves in a box of their own making.

How does liquor drinking make hard times in the prohibition states? Do these gilt edged prohibitionists take sides with theliquor sellers and declare that prohibition does not prohibit? Mr. E. Evans, as seen in our "chat column" says: "God is with us now, the people will be by and by." God helps those who help themselves, and nowhere do we have or ought we to have promise of victory without earnest and individual effort. Readers, those in hearty sympathy with tiie great movement for St. Louis on September 3 are now numbered in thousands.

Sympathy is valuable, indispensable; but, what are you doing by personal effort to spread the light among your neighbors, by your voice and your money? Secretary Windom in a recent letter uses these words: 'Purchases of bonds by the department begun August 3, 1887. The amount paid as premiums on bonds purchased to March 1, 1890, is $42,063,633.69." Let the peoplo remember that the above sum is a free jrift to bondholders, solely because the law leaves it wholly to his discretion whether to pay bonds at their face or buy them on the market and make a free gift to holders. Wo must have a repeal of that law and must elect a congress to do it. Express. Congressman Spiuola, of New York, condensed a mountain of truth into a paragraph the other day when he said: "Railroad commissioneis don't do the people any good at all.

I nave lived under two boards of railroad commissioners, and the railroads owned them both. The people need not expect to hold the railroads down with any such thing as a board of commissioners."

VOICE8 AND TINTS OF NATURE.

Bow They Differ in the Cold and Hot Months of the Tear. Many readers have probably at various times observed two phenomena and perhaps never given the subjects but little thought afterward. First, that natural sounds are very different in the colder than iu the warmer months of the year; aud, secondly, that waters have different tints during tht colder and warmer months. In illustration of the first we will take a number of examples. Many of us have noticed the contrast in the noise of the wind in different seasons when it blows around the corner of the house; in summer what a soft, mellow tone it has, and in winter what a harsh, rough whistle! Then, again, let us stroll along the banks of a stream in May, June or July, apd we will observe that the water will then make a gentle, babbling sound, while in November or winter it will, with no greater volume, make a hoarse, gurgling noise.

Still again, if we ramble in the woods durirg late spring or early summer, we cannot but notice what a softness and mildness the wind has when blowing through the tops of the trees. On the other hand, what a roaring it makes in cold weather. Perhaps the trees being with or without foliage may cause some difference, but it will be observed in May, before the leaves are out to any extent, there is even then a marked difference betwsen that time and December. Often we have heard it along telegraph wires during summer and winter, and have noted the contrast. Again, listen to the waterfall on mill dams.

The water in the warm season seems to fall in smooth, murmuring tones, but in cold weather it seems harsh enough to make chills run down one's spine. Then take the ocean; many of us know while strolling along the beach or sitting on the sand during the warm season with what a mellow sound the waves splash upon the sandy beach, while in winter, with no higher tide, what a roaring and hissing they make! Even among birds we observe a contrast in their notes, being mellow in spring and summer, but harsh in cold weather; it may be owing to the difference in their love, feeding, call or migration notes. There is also a corresponding difference in the notes of insects. A musician once told me that to his ear the sounds of winds and waters were nearly all in the key of flat. Perhaps some readers who have good ears for music could tell us if they are so.

Then, secondly, we will take notes of the various tints that waters have during different seasons. For example, let us commence by taking the brook again. As we ramble along its banks in June or July we see that the water has a silvery white look as it merrily dances ou its way, but in cold weather it has more or less of a bluish tint, on some days quite a dark blue. The same is true of lakes and ponds. What a soft silvery appearance they have in early summer; tbn in November or December what a dull leaden color! Still again, take waterfalls or mill dams, then the waters seem to fall in a glistening white sheet during the warm season, but in winter they have more or less of the blue tint again, sometimes real dark; although at Niagara Falls I never recollect of seeing any other but the two colors, emerald green and white the white greatly predominating in the summer, but more of the green in late fall.

I have never seen the falls later in the year than November; even they, too, may have the bluish tints during the winter. And lastly, take the ocean; we have noted particularly the difference in aspect there, in summer pale green and silvery; in winter a much darker shade of green or a dark blue. But whichever way these voices and tints of nature are, we all like to hear and to see them, don't we? Forest and Stream. Rapid Doubling. A physician of New York, at a little gathering there recently, told of one of the first professional calls made by a fellow practitioner.

He was sent for by a rich but avaricious man who had dislocated his The young surgeon promptly put the-memlwr in place. "What is your bill, asked the patient. "Fifty dollars, sir." "Great heavens!" And the man opened his mouth so wide as to dislocate his jaw a second time. Tho physician again put things to rights. "What did you say your bill was?" again asked the patient.

"I said it was fifty dollars; now it it one hundred." The man grumbled, but paid it.

While seeing their bad behavior and disrespect for God's woid and the good people who were trying togetthrfmto love Jesus, who died for them, my thoughts ran back to Africa, and I remember how the dear little unclothed heathen children, and big one too, sat so quietly on the sand iu their own little villages and looked up so earnestly in our faces while we "God plaver" to them, as they call it when we speak of Jesus. I thought what a contrast! Thft wirltArl tvt.

Fight if you Vote. "euator Ingal Is, of Kansas, said in a speech against woman suffrage tnat no one who could no' fight ia time of war should be illo ved to vote. How wise! This rule would prevent many men om voting, and, ifitis to include men who could fight and would not, it would ut off this great senatorial simpleton himself from voting. It mien were to vote there would soon be no ffghtiug to be done. No two nations would ever go to war iu both of which women vote fully and equally with men.

hhg Express Ed. Servant Wages in England. A butler seldom gets nice than $20 a month, and a cook must bo a good one to get $15. A laundress gets $10 to $12.50, and a very good one $13 a month. A footman may get $12.50, but the price runs from $8 upward, and housemaids can be had in shoals at $5 to $10 a month, and excellent servants they are.

Kitchen maids at first get but little, sometimes $2 or $3 a month, but they rise gradually until they become cooks. Coachmen get about the same as butlers and grooms, and helpers the same as footmen. The head gardener will get about $350 to $500 a year and a house, and under gardeners about $3 to $5 a week and a certain amount of vegetables and frnit in season. The household servants always receive washing' expenses. These vary according to the grade of the servant.
