from the tyranny of England, she
grew rapidly, untl her greatest danger
consisted in her departure from the
real republican form. As we have
stated, repeatedly, in the past, the
government of the United States was
a peoples' government. Monarchy
and Aristocracy were overthrown.—
Tyrants shed the blood of the people,
and under the guidance of brave men
and greut statesmen the people rose
in their might, shed the blood of
their oppressors and became the free-
est aud happiest people of the habi
table globe. Tyrants had shed the
blood of the people and they thed the
blood of the tyrants. In America the
people, triumphant in war and every
department of social life, laid the
foundation of social institutions that
rejected the gaudy titles, badges,
stars and garters, aud all the other
fopperies and gaudy insignia of roy
alty. Our rulers were elected by the
people aud selected by the people for
their supposed capacity and political
virtues, and for the sake of security
were limited in the terms of their of
ficial stations. Fortunately the sim
plicity of our government enables ev
ery citizeu to comprehend its nature
and all of its operations as clearly as
lie does the management of his house
hold affairs. No citizen cau be igno
rant of our public affairs except from
an utter disregard of passing events.
The man is guilty of a great public
crime who does not watch the pro- i
gress of events in our public economy
and political affairs, whether they re
gard the rights of the government,
federative or separate. It is the sim
plicity of tlie system that enables ev
ery citizen to know at a glance wheth
er officials are performing their duty
or individuals or states are deprived
of tlieir rights.
Great events have occurred invol
ving the rights of individuals as well
as states before our present system of
government was a hundred years old.
Our great and unnatural war Is
over, and many of our people do not
clearly comprehend the cause of it.
It is common for writers and speak
ers to say they acquiesce in the re
sults of the war without having a
clear view of the results to which
they allude. We look aud listen, in
vain, for an explicit declaration of
their views. It is very important that
these matters should be clearly under
stood and rightfully settled, for
some dangerous inferences and con
clusions may be adopted that, gener
ally accepted, might lead to results of
a serious and even dangerous charac
ter. As we would require more space
than we can readily occupy at this
writing, we look and listen for an ex
plicit declaration of their views. If
they mean that slavery was abolished
and the colored people^ were made
citizens with the right to vote at elec-
tion*!; if they mean that the secedefs
yielded to the power of the majority
and agreed to remain in the Union
and make tlie best of this compulso
ry situation, we uiay agree with them
and even go a step further and say,
it is the duty of the seceders to take
up arms and light under the old flag
for the comtilon rights cf all the
States of the Union.
Anil if a man did what was right
In his own mind, and In the sight

Determined on his business.

There has been no line of foot-wear
placed on the market in recent years
that Jhus caused so,much favorable
comment as lias the new line of shoe
specialties for gentlemen and ladies
which are being., so extensively adver
tUed by M. A. Packard Si Co. of
Brockton, Mass.
During the past few years this firm
devoted itself to the manufacture of
Special Shoes for the retail trade,
and the price that the Bhoe is to
be Bold for is stamped on the bottom
before the goods leave the factory.
The name of M. A. Packard & Co. is
a guarantee of quality, and the figures
on the bottom insures the buyer
agAinst paying an exorbitant price
for the,'goods. It is a plan which the
public has been quick to appre
ciate, as the popularity of the
goods attest. The prices of the shoes
are #5, |3.50, $2.50 and $3, and
among them can be found foot-wear
for all classes, from the poorest to
the richest. There are no better
shoes made for the money. The $2,09
Shoe lias been for years an unrivalled
leader. Ask your dealer for them.

tlie •ancient Egyptians before and iu
the days of Moses, it is stated that
there are Forty-two Inquisitors, who
examine tlie soul before the tribunal
of Osiris tlie Judge of All, and accord
ing to the answers, the soul is either
blessed or damned. Many of the
questions are of local importance and
about tlie Kingdom. Others embrace
the moral code, showing that the an
cient Egyptians had a nice sense of
right and wrong.
As Moses was brought up in that
school, and had the education of
learned Egyptians, we can see a trace
in the ten commandments iu the Egyp
tian code. Says the soul to Osiris, the
Judge of all when questioned:
“Placer of Spirits, Lord of Truth is
thy name:
I have not privily done evil against
mankind.
I have not told falsehoods.
I have not done what is hateful to
the Gods.
I have not murdered.
1 have not smitten men privily.
I have not stolen.
I have not been idle.
I have not committed adultery.
I have not corrupted women or
men,
I have not polluted myself.
I have not blasphemed a god.
I have not falsified measures.
I have not cheated in the weight of
the balance.
I have given food, to the hungry,
drink to the thirsty, clothes to the
naked.
If the spirit can answer tlie ques
tions that he or she has not done evil,
tlien they are blessed by Osiris. Man’s
relationship to his fellow man, is close
ly examined into and it wlil be seen
from the above questions, that a nice
sense of honor, truth and virtue and
reverence for the gods are demanded
The questions - as answered above
were found on an Egyptian mummy,
who had been laid away some three
thousand years. His record as a good
oitizen was found upon his person
written on papyrus, and he had given
his answers in advance, or a3 he ex
pected to give them when put on
trial.
It may be well to state that Moses
was raised In the palace of Ramessu
II or Ramses. It was lie who knew
not Joseph. He reigned (17 years, and
had 60 daughters and 59 sons. Min-
eptali was the pharaoh or king, who
went after the Israelites. He was not
drowned, for his body or mummy is
now seen iu Egypt. Meri, which
means dear, was the daughter, who
had Moses taken out of the water. In
Jewish traditions, she is called Tlier
nmt his.
It wilt be seen that the Egyptians
made man’s future happiness depend
upon good deeds anil fair dealing
They were a very pious people and
had great reverence for their Gods
Jesus put right liviqg in a nut-shell,
when He said: “Blessed are the pure
in heart for they shall see God “
Good morals always lead to a good
religion, aud a good religion leads to
piety; aud piety lifts the soul up to
God. A man’s faith, unless strength
eneil and upheld by good works, is all
stuff. God demands good deeds, as
well us good words. Faith, friend
ship ana forgiveness are the three
links in life’s chain, and prayer, puri
ty and patience, three graces which
adorn life.
The Egyptians had a practical re
ligion, and lived up to it, anil it

Freaks, Follies and Fancies.
Editor I’nion-Recordsb.
Your writer, J. H. N., in an Interesting
article on “Freaks, Follies, Fuss," holds tne
following:
“There seeius to bo an Innate, almost
organic disposition In men and women!
and the brute creation, too, to have “spells,’’
some In one way some in another. In
other words, men and women mako tools
of themselves periodically.” Your writer
was right, when he said “organic disposi

was almost like that of a gun. The exper-,

The hotels at "The H1U” are not all tilled.
However, the season Is accounted a fair
one by the majority of the proprietors.— }
Thera Is no more beautiful view In the
world than that which can be seen any
pleasant day from the piazza or the Ocean
House. Across the bay Is the quaint, his- !
torlcand lovely old town of Stonington.
The houses ard mostly white and the ten
der haze which usually envelopes them,
gives the scene a fairy like appearence Im
possible to describe. The blue water In
front, the blue sky above, with Its fleecy ,
clouds and the great tossing everebanging I
ocean at the loft, makes a picture of beau- j
ty Impossible to describe- “I’kore should
be no oare in this place," I told rnyselt as I
leaned back In one of the big rockers, nnd | stomach la inflamed with liquor, and the
surveyed the heavenly scene. But even as ■-• * — ’
1 spoke care was at my side. “I shall go
back to night,” I heard a young Iman re
mark to a very pretty girl who sat by one
of the parlor windows. “Oh, well,” was
the hard response "If you want to be a fool
It is your own lookout.” “I don’t want to
be fooled, nnd that’s the reason I ani go
ing,” was the somewhat sad response. At
that point an elderly couple passed me.
'He has brought disgrace enough upon us,’
said the man In low troubled tones, which
the wind blew eight to my ears. "Yos but
he is our own son, you know," tho wife re- j
Viz: Stomach, liver, kidneys, heart burns,
or some special organ of the brain.
Tho "spells" are periodical diseases, and
so groat with some, as to lead to Insanity
for tho time being. They take in all kinds
of characters and dispositions, according
to lo temperaments. Tho child born Into
the world, with alcoholic brain calls, in
herited from a father or mother who
habitually drink, and they needjnot drink
■to drunkenness—will have spells for liquor.
The stomach and brain cells are both In
flamed lor the time being, and until there
Is a healthful reaction, you must look out
for some sort of out break, or meixly dis
position. Tho poor dyspeptic, who has
his turns of a weak stomach knows all
about snch feelings. With some It leads to
suicide, with others to drink, with others
to melancholy; justas tho blood effects the
different brain cells.
Look at u half dozen men drink and see
how differently they will act. One will
want to light; another be very sociable;
another very humorous; another very
moody; another very musical ect., eet. The
blood playing with more force than usual
upon the brain and certain organs of the
brain, mako men act and talk as they then
feel. The man is in an abnormal condition,
ha has lost control of his mental equili
brium and Is not blraseir. A drunken man
Is crazy to alt Intents and purposes for the
tlmo being. lie Is not really himself, and
when he sobers up ho will say: "I was
drunk—I did not know what 1 was saying
or doing, or if I did, there was some sort
of influence upon me that I cohid not con

their heartache and care. In tlie midst of
all this outward loveliness I could hare ]
wept bitterly. “But he is our own son you
know,” touched the depths of my souk— j
What comfort could nature, art, wealth or j
heal*’ - bring to this father and mother un-1
der such circumstances? The death of
our loved ones Is hard to bear, and it is
agony to see them suffer, but thero can be
no pain so sharp as that which comes to
the loving and faithful parents heart
when a child goes wrong. “How sharper
than a serpent’s tooth it is," I quoted soft
ly to myself, and then with another wistful
look at Stonington, which someway seemed
shorn of half Its glory, I went down to the
beach to see some new - PortugP6e men of
War, that the breakers had tossed upon the
shore. It was pleasure to think that these
creatures had no sons to turn day Into
night, and sunshine Into clouds. But who
knows? Their families may be exceedingly
troublesome. Didlteveroccurto'my read
ers how little we know of these things?
To the gentlemen who read my letters,
and to the wives of the men who do not, I
would like to say that flannel shirts are
not only fashionable for sea shore and
mountain wear, but these garments are
now all the rage for city use. They are
certainly more economical besides looking
quite as well. At home a man can wear a
gauze flannel next to his skin-but let It be
flannel and a handsome flannel shirt over
that. White collars and cuffs are entirely
abandoned by the man about town who
knows what Is what. Tho costumes of the
men at “The Hill" are very picturesque.
There seems to bo no end to the variety in
flannel suits. The rod and black stripe,
with “Tam" to match, is however too sug-
gestivool Mephistophlles. Hut these suite
are much worn, especially oy men with
dark ooraplexlons. ’ . ,
There r re some visitors at this beautiful
summer resort who are called 'The Bucket
Whop Women." They are wide awake,
vivacious and good looking, and evidently
know how to Invest tho mighty dollar to
as good advantage as any of the shrewd
brokers of the other sex. These women
aro somewhat over-dressed, a trifle coarse
in tone and carriage, and convey the Im
pression that they have not always been
accustomed to diamonds nnd pate do fois
gras. It leaked out as such things usually
a<>, that this feminine clique had combined
their power and resources in such a way
as to mako several thousand dollars
apiece in a "bucket shop" speculation. To
those of my readers who do not know the
meaning of this term, I would say that It
was bestowed upon tho brokers who do
business on small margins by some mem
Powell will so tell you, and If tho inflam
ed organ esu be cured, the person is sane
enough. But chronic insanity Is chronic
disease of some special organ—the stom
ach, the heart, the liver, the lungs, or some
lesion of a certain brain organ. Every or
gan of the body Is intimately connected
with the brain. Beliglous Insanity Is the
playing of tho blood, with unusual force,
upon the organ of spirituality or rever
ence, just as the blood plays upon the or-
8 an of combativeness in some men when
runk, anu they are full of light. The
blood cannot be controlled In Its flow, that
and nothing more, any more than you can
stop the effects of the bite of a rattlesnake.
When a man Is sober himself, naturally,
ho then can control Ills blood, and pump
it to the mental organ desired. Your wri
ter is now forcing his blood upon bis rea
soning faculties und giving his Idea of the
strange treuks, so-called which sometimes
possess men and women. A man In a fine
aud healthy physical condition is nevor
given to “freaks or follies" of nny kind.
It Is only your diseased persons who do
such things. I have talked with men who
had tholr rreaks, they said, their diseases
Tlioir systems were out of order, aud as
one told me, that medicine did him no
good, aud that after a “spree” of about a
week throwing off bile, etc., he felt like a
new man, and would not touch liquor for
perhaps a year, or until surlng time, the
usual time for a change In Ins system. He
understood his disease and knew what to
do. His family understood his disease
aud know what to do for him. With some
men, “sprees” are once a year or twice or
quarterly, according to their physical con
ditton and temperament.
"Man Is fearfully aud wonderfully
made,” and no mistake, “and the study of
mankind Is man." What we sometimes
call faults, frailties and fancies, are the
outward signs of a diseased nature, for
which one is more to be pitied than con
demned. Wo have “spasms" of religious
feeling, of benevolence, of sociability, of
charity and all tho virtues; and then wo
hear the expression so slgntflpaut,—“the
devil has got into him.” When one can
account for his dreams, ho may account
for many of his actions. Do not confound
habits with constitutional tendencies.
Habits are cultivated, just as thought is
