Indiana -is a bad place for the

Pana, Ihd., will have none of the
negro and has once more served
notice to that effect in unmistak¬

were set upon by men, women, and

The question, “what ought to be
done with the trusts?” has beetfs an¬
swered in this way: Well, the pea¬
nut trust should be roasted, the
flour trust should lie sifted to the
bottom; the cigar trust should be
smoked out; the ping tobacco trust

hammered thin, tfie twine trust

punctured; the mule trust kicked to
death, and tlie coffin trust buried.

thought to have had it seasoned as
near like mother used to fix it as an
amateur could reasonably expect to
approach perfection. However,
when hubby made his first attack on
the smoking that pie, a frown spread
over his face called for an in¬
vestigation which revealed the fact
that she used salts instead of salt.—

WOMEN PREACHERS.
Editor Dispatch: I am moved
to this writing by frequent articles
in our religious papers on this sub¬
ject.
There seems to he a growing
tendency with a certain class of
women to put themselves forward
upon the public rostrum, Not
satisfied with the bounds fixed by
their sex, they think that their
higher endowment should have full
masculine latitude. They seem to
not remember that it is the natural
restricted sphere of woman that
gives her hold on public sym¬
pathy ami guarantees her protection.
The criminal courts are shorn of
one-half of their vigor when they
attack a woman. The witness must
step softly—the jury must remem¬
ber that defendant is a woman—the
court must extend every inch of
clemency—“defendant is a woman,”
Hut those aspiring females who
thirst for a wider range may re¬
member that when they overleap
their restricted sphere they leave
these public sympathies and pro¬
tections behind them. When they
assume the masculine, they may
expect to stand on masculine ground
in the courts and every where else,
I chanced to see and hear one of
those female preachers. She stop¬
ped off at Chauncev. 1 lived there.
She sent her cavils around that “a
lady evangelist was at the depot
awaiting accommodations,” but no
response came, She had been there
once before and no one wanted her.
Finally, a Methodist preacher con¬
ducted her to his home, and sick
enough he was of it. The churches
all closed their doors against her
and she preached next, day standing
at the door of a barroom, and the
little group that usually loafed
around was her principal hearers. I
sat at the depot with two or three
others and heard her. Her words,
clear and distinct,—her arguments
forcible—it was an all-round able
discourse. Nor did she neglect both
in her sermon and prayer, to take
all the bark off the Chauncey church
people for “closing their churches
against the gospel.” She had her
lesson well and brass for any oc¬
casion. She left the next morning,
and at least one Methodist preacher
was glad when she went, Her final
benediction was a shower of fire on
Chauncev. Since then I never
hear of a woman preacher but I
think of this woman and another.
who eame through preaching and
begging for the heathen, and when
she made sufficient collections she
bought a milliner stove.
I have never known a southern
raised woman to aspire to the public
stage. But they will do it. These
things drift down from the north,
where all the new fashions and in¬
ventions come from, and our people
practically acknowledge the super¬
iorly of the northern people by im¬
itating their examples and accept¬
ing all of their styles and fashions.
Jf Boston ladies were to wear a
bird’s nest for a hat our women
would do it too. If their dresses
drag six feet behind, or cut off at
half mast, it is all right—it comes
from Boston!
These fast goers are drifting down
among us, with their brood of
money traps, and they know how
to bait them to catch southern
people.

HOME.
[(’out hi nod from last issue.]
In the majority of cases it will
found that those who
saloons and places of low resort the
most have not pleasant, happy
homes. W hen a young man enters
such a pla ec, docs he think
home? lie surely must not, al-
though ’tis said there is one vision
that never leaves a human soul,
and that is home and mother; hut
could he think of home and mother
and enter such places? He would
have little regard for either to do
so. Then, what of a man with a
family that will go home drunk to
his wife and children, lie is ruin¬
ing his home, barring from it all
happiness and pleasure and filling
it with grief and misery, causing
his innocent wife and children to
suffer more than himself, for he
does not care much what becomes
of them. He is not fit to be a hus¬
band and father—he cares nothing
for his family and is ruining his
children, for a drunkard’s home
might he called no home. There
is no peace there, nothing but
shame and misery.
Parents should earnestly consider
the importance of home happiness,
home’ love and everything that will
make the home entertaining, for
what is comparable to a well regu¬
lated, happy home? Nothing, for
it’s a heaven below. And such a
home is ruled by love, and not fear,
and each one has confidence in the
other.
A constant endeavor should be
made to render every home cheer¬
ful and haj^iy: then inocent joy and
peace will reign in every heart.
There can be found plenty of amuse¬
ments. Make the home pleasant,
and then the youthful would not he
obliged to look some where else for
joy- Let there be pleasant looks,
kind words and affectionate acts,
and see what a difference it will
make. The home is certainly made
more pleasant by adding daily light¬
ness and brightness, and life will
be more endurable.
Young men should think of home
oftencr. If they had one of theif
own they could understand more
thoroughly the happiness needed;
but I suppose they must all have
experience to understand.
There is sure to be content in a
home where flowers are found.
They brighten the home more than
one would think. A home may be
humble, but it can be happy; it may
bo costly and elegant, and be miser¬
able. An humble home is very
often the happiest home. It’s not
the handsomest homes that are the
happiest and pleasantest, but the
ones where the most love is shown,
and the most pleasant words spok¬
en, where every thing harmonizes,
where brothers and sisters arc kind
and gentle with each other and sym¬
pathise with each other in their sor¬
rows and caves, where parents and
children sympathise one with an¬
other, where husband and wife live
together in peace and harmony,
where the father and mother strive
to amuse the little- ones and teach
them to love and obey them. In
such a home there is no difficulties
or harsh words, no decit, no com¬
pulsion or any thing of the kind.
It will draw friends to enjoy the
grandest scene on earth—a happy
home.
Girls, you can do more towards
making the home happy than you
are aware of, if you will try. Your
brothers will help you if you use
the right kind of influence.
you aro gentle and kind to them
and strive to make the home a
pleasant resort for them, they will
join in after a while, Alake it
pleasant for them all the time, and
they will stay there more. They
will enjoy your company if you are
cheerful aiid pleasant. They will
be happier if they find comfort and
pleasure under the family roof-tree
and will see how delighted their
sisters are to have them stay at home
more.
