Capital aaJ CoUeges.
One of our Chicago contemporaries
sees in the munificent gifts of our ricl
men to colleges a refutation of tb<
charge by labor agitators that capital i-
selfish. It cites the several conspicuou-
ca^ed in which large su ns have been giv-
en to found or to sustain colleges, and
draws the conclusion that this applica-
tion of rapital has been practical nu<"
useful. It is not worth while to spcm!
time in proving that capital is selfish.
In fact it is not worth while to wast«
time in proving that both the rich udc
poor are selfish. If there is any o <
thing that establishes itself .vithout am
outside aid it is human selfishness. Thai
is what is the matter with the world
That is the exciting causc of all the con
flict between labor and capitr.l, and i)
there is a newspaper that has uo bettei
use for its space than to endeavor to de-
cide which is really the most selfish it
esteems the value of space much les.-
than the Rural does. One thing we do
know among the many other things that
we do not: if we could induce every
employer and every employe to adopt
as a ruling principle the injunction, Dn
unto others as ye would that others
should do unto you, we should put an
end to strikes and lockouts at once and
forever. It is sheer folly to talk of
capital not being selfish; and the en-
dowment of colleges does not even te«il
to prove that it is not. There is but
one college in all this land that is found-
ed even in a semblance of pure charity
and even that has been credited to an
uneasy conscience. We refer to Girard
College. For all practical purposes,
however, that is a charity. The orphan
may be educated there without expense.
But wherein are Cornell College, the
Indiana University, the Johns Hopkins,
Vassar or Wellesley institutions chari-
ties? What do either one of them do for
the poor man's boy or the poor man's
girl? What particular credit is Leland
Stanford entitled to for giving the mil-
lions of property for the erection of a
Uniyersity to commemorate the memo-
ry of his dead boy? Is that what you
call unselfish? Is that the sort of work
which is to appease the clamor of the
poor fathers of poor children for a
more equal distribution of wealth? It
strikes us that all such monnments to
the absorption ot wealth through selfish
greed is not calculated to be considered
much of a tribute to unselfishness or
have much of a tendency to allay the
feeling of unrest that exists among the
poor. Leland Stanford was so high
toned even in his grief that he felt com-
pelled to import a minister from the
other side of the continent at heavy ex-
pense to preach a ridiculous funeral
sermon over the remains of his boy.
Mow he is going to erect a "palatial insti-
tution of learning as a monument to
him, and the man who wiil bury his
child amidst an absurd glow of costly
splendor and afterwards erect a ten
million dollar monument to his memo-
ry. will not care to have the poor boy
soiling the monument with his touch or
disfiguring it with his presence; and he
has not the slightest idea of having him
do it either. The Stanford University
or whatever it is to be called, is to be
an institution for the education of those
who would get an education if there
was not a college in the whole world
The boys who go to college, as a rule,
are fortunate enough to have fathei-9
who are able to educate them under any
circumstances. IT" there is anybody
who thinks that the man who is shovel-
ling dirt in the street at a dollar a day
to support a half dozen children, will
throw up his hat over Leland Stanford's
magnificent gift in establishing an insti-
tution of learning in which this poor
man's children can no more hope to en
ter than they can hope to fly to the
moon, he has got a novel idea of men's
appreciation of things.
If these rich men mean to do any-
thing for the poor—but they do not—
why not do something for the education
of the poor? Why not open institutions
of learning at which poor cbidren may
come? Why not spend their money to
improve our imperfect common school
system? We have fifty per cent more
colleges than we need already, unless"
they were htttci. We are not suffer
in? for colleges. A good many of the
colleges, however, arc suffering for
support. But we are suffering for a
better system of education both in oui
common schools and in our colleges.
The average man however, who is desi-
rous of perpetuating his name—and
that is the kind of unselfishness that us-
ually is back of such enterprises—by es-
tablishing a college, does not know
enough to be even an incidental blessing
to mankind. It is a reckless man who
will asseit, without qualification, that
our present system of collegiate educa
tion is a blessing at nil. It is an unset-
tled question, to say the least, whether
it is or not; and yet these college
founders, without any conception of
wh.it a system of education ought to be,
dump their money into college InTild-
ings, and college endowments hit or
miss. They hit one thing: their own
glory; and that is what they arc usually
after.—[Western Rural.

The following is the full text of the
lifitol law:
. "Art. 818. Ii any person in thi-

tub liquor law.i
No whisky can be sold to a minor, to
i stude".L or habitual drunkard, or to
any person whose wife, mother, daugh-
ter or sister objects. It is not permit-
ted that any minor can enter or remain
:n a saloon, nor is any game of chancc
dlowed to be played there; no vulgar
pictures are permitted. The saloon
must be orderly and quiet, and no adul-
terated liquors can be sold. And to
better enforce this law it is provided
that the saloon keeper must give a bond
of $5000, which may be sued on at the
instance of any person aggrieved by any
violation of its provisions; such person,
on conviction, recovering the sum of
$500 for each infraction of the condi-
tions of such bond. Screens are also
prohibited, and it was the intention of
;he law that the bar should be in plain
view of the street, but it is so worded
that that point can be dodged. The law
■says: An open house, in the meaning of
this act, is one 111 which no screen or
other device is used or placed, either in-
side or outside of such house or place of
business, tor the purpose of or that will
obstruct the view through the open
door or place of entrance into any such
bouse.
There is an impression among the sa-
loon men that the prohibition of screens
does not go into effect until their
ent license expires.
THE SUNDAY LAW.
The Dallas News thus epitomizes the
Sunday law:
<<

As amended it provides that "any
person who shall labor, or compel,
force or oblige his employees, workmen
or apprentices to labor on Sunday, or
any person who shall hereafter hunt
game of auy kind whatsoever on Sun-
day within one-half mile of any church,
school house or private residence, shall
be fined not less than $10 nor more than
$50." This may be construed to mean
labor of cve.y kind except that named
by tho law, which says this act shall not
apply to markets or dealers in provis-
ions as to sales of provisions made by
them before 9 o'clock a. m., nor to the
sale of burial or shrouding material,

THE MAGNETIC APPLIANCE CO
134 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill-
New Orleans, July 8.—A few days ago
Wcrlein hall, the old National theatre, was
burned, being completely destroyed except
a portion of the walls. These walls, which
rose to the height of over eighty feet, were
very thin and threatening, standing as they
did on two important business thorough-
fares, and the Mayor notified Mr. Wcrlein
to have tliein removed. Yesterday morn-
ing two contractors, W. 11. Krohn and J.
AV. McDonald set to work to tear down the
building. They had just got their tackle
in readiness and the men were preparing to
liegiti work when a storm came up, accom-
panied liy a heavy wind. The rear wall
fell over on the gang under McDonald,
burying nine men under a mass of brick
and wood. A large crowd was present wit
nesting the operation, which set to work at
once removing the debri'j and rescuing the
men, but it was more than three hours be-
fore the men were got out.
Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispacth: Yesterday
Thomas Ballard, the famous counterfeiter,
and probably llie most skillful engraver in
the world, walked out of the Albany Peni-
tent itry a free man. Th r.een years ago
lie was arrested at Buffalo by Detective
Perkins of this city. A few days ago, as
has already been published, he was par-
doned bj' President Clevelaud.
When Detective Perkins was asked about
Pallaru and the capture yesterday he said:
"I am glad the man is free, because, from
all I can learn, he is thoroughly reformed.
He is a genial, goodnalured fellow, and one
>f the most intelligent men I ever ran
across. There isn't a man iu the world
who is his equal as an engraver. He is one
of five brothers, every one of whom was a
ekilfull counterfeiter.
Chicago, July 7.—A Perham, Minn.,
special says the country is alive with lO'
custs. Trees, walls and buildings are
covered with the creatures. They are
crushed under foot on the sidewalks an<
in the streets. High in the air every
clear day when the wind is strong mil
iions of them can be seen going as the
wind cairies them. The crops at Per-
ham are a dead loss. Ten thousand
acres can already be counted as destroy-
ed. Vegetation in places is eaten to the
root. Elsewhere the leaf is stripped off
and the kernel bored, leaving the bare
stalk and husk withering in the sun.
Everything is eaten except the wild
glass and foliage. Iu some places the
currant bushes and young trees are
stripped of bark and foliage. Numer-
ous as these insects are, this is only a
beginning of their ravages. Their in-
crease is something beyond computa-
tion. It is said that after hatching in
spring they keep together in swarms
and at that time may be caught
tarred sheet and cremated.

The fioyal .Romance.
Iris; Times.
There is something of me enchantmeiil
of fairy lore about the story of the court-
ship and betrothal of Queeu Victoria. King
Leopold of Belgium, the favorite uncle of
the young Queen, who had always exer-
cised a loving supervision of her early
training, brought about a visit of Prince
Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gothaand hi3 broth-
er to England, in order that Victoria, who
was then but 20 years old,might be brought
in eont:ict with them. It was not then hint-
ed that she was expected to look upon one
of the princes as a possible husband. Her
good uncle intended that in case affection
developed, love should take its course His
plans resulted most happily and a sympa-
thy of dispositions and tastes soon led to a
stronger bond between Victoria and Albert.
Their "irst meeting was at a ball. flu-
youthful Queen and the Prince were both
there, and the Queen gave the Prince a bo-
qnet. What to do wUh the gift was a puz-
zle to the possessor, but it was only a mo-
ment that he stood in doubt. Taking out
his knife he cut a slit in the tunic of the
uniform he wore, aud right there—ever his
heart—placed seenrely the blossom the roy-
al lady had given him. He had just a few
days before come from his home over the
sea, and the Queen asked him how he liked
Kngland, "Oh very much." Next day
the question was asked again, and once or
twice oftener it was put, until at length the
Queen with a sweet tremor iu her voice,and
mautling blush of the rose in her face ven-
tured to say, "Would you not like to stay
iu Eogtaud?"It was in this way that the or-
dinary conditions of the momentous event
were reversed, and the man said "Yes," to
the woman's question.
The Queen wrote to King Leopold:
"I told Albert this morning of it. The
warm affection he showed me on learning
this gave me great pleasure. He seems
perfection; and I think that I havj the
prospect of very great happiness before
me. I love him more than I can say, and
I shall do everything in my power to ren-
der this sacrifice, (for such, in my opinion
it is) as small as I can. He seems to have
great tact—a very necessary thing in his
position. These few days have passed
like a dream to me, and I am so bewildered
by it all that I hardly know how to write;
but I do feel very happy."
Albert's letter home.
Prince Albert wrote as follows to his
grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Go-
tha,who had filled a mother's place to him;
'The Queen sent for me alone to her
room a few days ago and declared to me,
in a genuine outburst of love and affection,
that I had gained her whole heart,andwould
make her supremely happy if I would
make her the sacrifice of sharing her life
with her; for she s\id she looked on it as a
sacrifice. The only thing that troubled
her was that she did not think she was
worthy of me. The joyous openness of
the manner in *vhich she told me this quite
euch&ated me, and I was qui to carried
away by it. She is really most good and
amiable and I am quite sure that we shall
be happy together."
Then the Queen called her council and
announced her marriage. In herdiary she
wrote:
"The room was full, but I hardly knew
who was there. Lord Melbourne I saw
looking kindly at me with tears in bi3 eyes,
but he was not near me. I then read my
short declaration. I felt that my hands
shook, but I did not make one mistake. I
felt almost happy and thankful when it was
over."
One of the ladies excusably curious on
the matter, asked the Queen afterwards if
it did not make her nervous to have to
make such an announccmcut to the council.
We are told that her reply was: "Oh, no;
that I considered simply as a matter of
business; but I did feel some embarrass-
ment in making known to the Prince my
feelings in his regards."
Next came the era of love letters, while
the Prince was making his preparations
in Coburg to become an Englishman. He
could but use the words of every true lover
in high or low estate: "All I have to say is,
that while I possess your love they cannot
make me unhappy." And so the weeks
passed,and when February came the Prince
landed at Dover, to be wedded now to
England as well as to England's Queen,
and was received joyously by the people.
When he drove up to Buckingham palace,
it was to find his bride "standing at the
outer door eager to welcome him." He was
naturalized on the following day and crea-
ted a field marshal of England.
the marriage ceremony.
There was great brilliancy and display at'
the marriage ceremony, but it was not1
without its simple touches. The Queen her-
self acted with excellent taste. Sh j was
wiser than some of her courtiers. The Arch-
bishop of Canterbury came to her with
some perturbation and and the suggestion
that as she was Queen the passage in the
ritual bringing in the vow of obedience
should be altered in her case. "I do not
mean to be the less a wife though I am a
Queen," said the bride firmly and sensibly,
and on no account would she allow any
tamperiug with the responses at the altar.
Nor would she have the customary hour of
service altered. Former royal marriages
had taken place at night. The Queen in-
sisted that hers should be by daylight and
not later than noon, and she stipulated also
that there should be nothing fanciful about
the symbol for her finger—"it must," she
said, "be an ordinary wedding ring."

Office of Sliavv & Baldwin's Wholesale No- >
tion House, Toledo, O., Dec 11,1879. j
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.—Dear Sirs :
About three months ago, noticing a letter
addressed to you in the Bee from Gen.Slevin,
in reference to Jiecitre of his son by the use
of Hall's Catarrh Cure, we were induced to
commence the use of it for our daughter Nel-
lie now fourteen years old, who has been suf-
fering from catarrh for about eight years,
during which time she has beeu treated by
one of the best physicians in the city. We
have also tried the use of almost all the known
remedies for catarrh, with tut more success
than temporary relief. Many nights have we
laid awake to bold her mouth .open to keep
her from strangling. Her hearing had also
become affected. We were afraid that she
would never recover. We have now used six
bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure,and we believe
Nellie to be entirely cured. In a few days af-
ter commencing the use of it we noticed a de-
cided change for the better, and from that
right along she has improved, until now she
breathes as easily as any one. She sleeps well
and her hearing is perfectly good. We feel
that tlie disease is entirely removed. We
write ti'.is unsolicited letter, feeling that it is
due you. and with the hope that others may
be benefitted in like manner. We can hard-
ly realize that such a change could be effected
in so short a time after battling with the dis-
ease so long. We are stili nsing the remedy
at intervals, as it seems to build up lier sys-
tem. You are at liberty to use this in any
manner yon see proper. We are yours, truly,

is His Love of Long Ago.
Years ago in his native village, a
wealthy German living in this city had a
sweetheart to whom he was devotedly
attached. But a tide ot emigration
landed him when a young man m Amer-
ica. A false friend brought him news
that his Lena was engaged to another.
In pique he married the handsome daugh-
ter ot his employer. In due time he en
tered the firm, and, later on, had the
business to himself, making a fortune.
For ten happy years everything prosper
ed. His wife was a beauty, and half a
dozen handsome children blessed their
anion. The only cloud that dimmed the
father's horizon was the know'edge that
Lena had never been false—that the re-
port of her engagement was untrue • and
m her father's house, unmarried and dis-
consolate, the sweetheart of his youth
lived alone. However, a year or more
ago, by a sudden and fatal illness, the
wife was laid low, and our triend found
himself a widower with six children.
Rich, respectable, a model citizen and
personally a fine-looking man, he was the
object of many solicitous attentions. A
dozen lovely women ot his acquaintance
looked at their autographs and thought
how well his name would come in at the
end of them. But as soon as he began
to think ot such things the image of Le-
na, his sweet, flaxen haired Marguerite,
came in, and, after a year's decorous
mourning, he wrote to Germany and pro-
posed that if she could forgive his readi-
ness to be deceived in the past, and
would bridge the twelve years of seeming
indifference with her enduring love, they
should renew the love of their youth.
Back came the response. Lena the faitk-
Jul, Lena the constant, would take to the
sea per next boat. The widower with-
drew to his library, day after day, and
thought up the past, fanned each little
recollection till it sprang into a flame,
and when finally the Fulda was in the
bay he started tor the wharf.
In the first communication with Lena
after his good-looking wife's decease, he
had dwelt much on the need his little
children had of a mother's tender care.
Iu succeeding epistles he let the children
down one by one till their names were
never heard. His first intention was to
be waiting on the wharf with Rachel,
Leah and 8.-rah on one side, and Abe,
Sol and Isaac on the other, but when the
day came he had arrived at another con-
clusion. He discarded a mourning suit,
and in a jaunty rig of Saratoga blue and
a light hat the widower paced with beat-
ing heart the confines of the wharf till the
gang plank was run out. "After all,"
he said to himself, "there's nothing stirs
the pulses like first love—the same sweet
passion of youth puts the ineffaceable
brand on the human heart." He was
about to clasp the early Marguerite with
the dove-like eyes and the flaxen braids
to his well-developed bosom.
Our widower, as we have said, was
handsome. No thread of gray had
touched his raven curls. His eyes were
undimmed, his complexion good, and,
best of all, he had kept his waist. Buoy-
ant with excitement he plowed into the
ship. To the stewardess he said : "You
have a Miss Lena Strauss on board ?''
"Oh, yes ; Fraulein Strauss lias been
ill, but she is dressed and up. Step this
way."
How he stepped ! There were several
ladies on the sofas of the salom. To
one of these the stewardess led him.
"Your triend has come, Miss Strauss,"
said she.
A pudgy, doughy-faced, heavy-look-
ing woman, whose figure resembled an
8 more than any other, rose with a little
squeal of joy and cast herself upon his
bosom. Lena had been a fairy. She
was as broad as she was long. Lena's
hair had been bright, and so luxuriant
that her Marguerite braids were as thick
as his wrist. Lena's stock of hairs hard-
ly covered her protuberant temples, and
was a dirty ash color. Lena in '75 had
been a fragile poem in petticoats ; Lena
in '87 was a churn with a bonnet on.
Who shall depict tho cyclone of disap-
pointment that .swept over the widower's
soul ? But the poor man was as brave
and chivalric a spirit as ever went out to
do battle in Palestine. He took her
home, and according to agreement, he
married her.—[Chicago Herald.
Skirmish at Colbert-
Mornstown, N. J., July l.—A horri-
ble murder occurred in the pleasant vil-
lage of Chatham at 7:15 o'clock this
morning. John Wilson, who has of
late been out of work, owing to his dis-
solute habits, went to his home last
night in an intoxicated condition, and
gave his wife a beating. He was finally
quieted, and prevailed upon to go to
bed.
On arising this morning he was in a
quarrelsome mood, and became infuria-
ted with his little daughter. Seizing an
old double-barreled shot gun he fired at
the girl, but fortunately missed his aim,
and she made her escape from the
house. Wilson's wife remonstrated
with him, whereupon he fired at her,
shootmg her through the heart. Mrs.
\A llson started to run out through the
iear door, but fell in her tracks and 1111-
mediately expired.
Being now thoroughly frenzied, Wil-
son reloaded the gun and placing it to
the left side of his head blew out his
biains. hews of the double tragedy
soon spread and crowds flocked to the
scene.

The costliest necklace of diamonds
ever owned in this country, says Harp-
er's Weekly, was worn by the late Mrs.
Mary Jane Morgan. She had a real
passion for diamonds and wore them in
hairpins, brooches, bracelets, and rings
as well, but her special pet was a neck-
lace, a riviere of diamonds, which cost
I her originally perhaps $30,000, and to
which she had made various additions
until its total value was $200,000. One
day she astonished a clerk at Tiffany's
by buying a diamond for $48,000 and
ordering it to be set in her riviere as the
centre stone. Diamonds that once glis
j tened in her brooches, hairpins,
j bracelets were transferred to this neck
i lace, and diamonds that no longer pleas
ed her in the necklace were reset in th<
brooches, hairpins or bracelets. To her
it was a perpetual pleasuie to see the
magnificent necklace increasing its mag-
nificence. When she died the largest of
the stones were sold singly; but
necklace without them was so valuable
that Messrs. Tiffany bought it for $00
000. Soon afterward they broke it 1
and for man}' months it has ceased
exist.

Among the interesting episodes v. !iich
took place in the Territory during the
past week the attempted arrest of the
well known desperado Willis Moore, by
officers of the Indian Police, at Colbert
on Monday, deserves mention. A grand
Fourth of July picnic and barbecue was
being held in a grove near Colbert Sta-
tion and which Moore had threatened to
attend, and which he had further threat-
ened to break up. He was wanted by
the officers for the shooting of a mar
named Sprangle about two weeks ago
and several members r! the Indian Po-
lice were present to receive bim. About
the middle of the forenoon he made his
appearance in the neighborhood of tb<
picnic grounds, and Officers Murray
Gooding, Thomas and others were noli
fied. They immediately started to pm
into execution the project of effecting
his arrest, but when he saw the officer-
coming he rode to the edge of a corn
field and dismounted. Here a general
skirmish took place, shots being freely
exchanged between Moore and the offi-
cers, but at such long range that no one
was hurt, save Moore's horse, which
was hit, and stampeded, leaving him on
foot. A section of the police started to
make a detour of the cornfield to cut off
his retreat, observing which he struck
out through the field and for the time
made good his escape. Will and Joe
Burris and a man named Massey, who
were present at the killing of Sprangler
were arrested vpon the picnic grounds,
and taken to Muskogee to stand an ex-
amination before U. S. Commissioner
Tuft, on a charge of complicity in the
murder.—rSunday Gazetteer.

A ccntury ago British workmen were
serfs upon estates handed down from
this dissolute peer to that infamous
scoundrel, but in the march of time la-
bor triumphed, and the workmen could
now sell tneir labor to whom they pleas-

The Greatest Newspaper Success
OF THE AGE-
Columbia, S. C., July 6.—Floyd Bat- j
son \s as killed yesterday in Greenville
county by Ben Duncan, both white.
Batsop had made insulting propositions
to Duncan's young wife, and the latter
coming upon him suddenly anil findinsr
Batson with his hands on Mrs. Duncan
opened fire with a shotgun, putting thir-
ty-five buckshot in Batson'.s body. No
arrest. Yesterday John D. Sheahan
killed Rutus K Bishop in Lauren's
court house. Bishop had called Shedian
a thief. The murderer surrendered.
Both were prominent young men.
Bailey's Saline Aperient.—What is it?
It is a elieap, mild, effective and delightful
laxative, far superior to nauseating pills,
while it is cooling and refreshing. For dys-
pepsia it is superior, and for siekheadaehe, ac
id stomach, indigestion,etc., it counot be ex-
celled. It is a delicious fever drink, and acts
finely upon the skin. 34
Advice to young ladies about to gradu-
ate: Be just as sweet you can. The
man who doe3 not like to look upon a sweet
girl graduate is a villain—or married. Tie
your es?ay with a blueiihbon, and he pric
tical in the choice of a subject. We sug-
gest "The coining tnau." Advice to young
men about to graduate: Don t mind the
newspapers. Whoop it up for all you are
worth on commencement day about "The
Scholar in Politics," "The Ideal Republic"
and "The Political Destiny of Patagonia."
About five years from now read your ora-
tion over to yourself slowly.—Buffalo Ex-
press.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Not long since a ba
ker on Penn avenue, was annoyed very
much by the presence of mice, and a friend
gave him a cat which he guaranteed would
clear out the pests. One evening the ba-
ker opened a dough tray and saw several
mice in it. He called the cat, which at
once caught one in its mouth and another
under its paw. In the tussle the one under
the paw got aw.ty, aud the mouse iu the
mouth made a jump down th * cat's throat,
lodging about half way down. Thecal be-
gan to choke and was all but dead, when
the baker caught it by the tail and shook
the mouse loose.
