ItliALt
When a woman nnd a man nland
before a maBdttrate or mlnWter of re
Hj;eon and promise to love and honor
each other for lifv(uot to consider the
ijroml to obey, which U gem rally
Included on one Mile), i-t it a liiudinit
obligation? N it founded on reason
and the logical coiitluwioim reached
by human experience, or Is it an un
reasonable iHnise foundwl on some
niUiconei'pUon of liuman relations?
Ther queationa Hre prompted by a
train of thought HUKKestetl by the h
rusal in the column of a daily pa r
of the account of a terrible tm ;iily in
Kentucky, lu which a "wrontfil
huHbauil terribly avenged his doniea-
ticdir.honor," by Hhootlng to death
hit wife and her eompanlon in a
place of evil resort. The coroner'
Jury promptly rendered a verdict of
"Jusiitiuble homicide," which is
probably a correct verdict under the
Kentucky "tatutcH applicable to such
case. The verdict, as well a the
public opinion, which will shield the
perpetrator or the tragedy In any
event, clearly show that it Is the
sentiment of the community that
man ban a right to kill his wife and
any man with whom she may be
guilty of the violation of the mar
rioge vow, when the proof of the
guilt ia clear.
In such canes all the sympathy is
with the "wronged husband." The
wife goes to the dishonored grave
aud the husband walks back into so.
tiety to find heruccess r, and society
receives him with open arms and ap
plauds him as a man of honor and
courage.
All of this belongs to the dark ages.
Sin is bad, but fighting, killing, ap
plauding the killing is worse. It ail
grows out of the theory that the
woman is the chattel of the man;
that she is his property, and that uo
matter what the mau does, he may
be forgiven, but the woman who has
fallen has no rights which a man is
bound to respect. Before tills coro
ner's jury rendered a verdict of "jus
tillable homicide," wouldn't it have
been an interesting pre-requisite to
acquittal that the husband should
have been shown to have been with
out sin ia the same direction. It is
possible that (his husbaml might
have stood this test, but so fe.v men
can that the Issue is never raised.
In most cases when wives go
wrong, it Is because the husband Is
at fault. If he cannot make his per
sonal presence and inarltul associa
tion so attractive to his wife that she
lean have no reasonable excuse lor
transferring her affections, he has no
right to complain when she does. If
he Is unloving, disagreeable, tyran
nical, or in fact anything but a clean,
lovable, affectionate, considerate
and intelligent man, lie lias uo right
to claim the allegiance of any woman
for a day, and any display of force or
attempt at homicide can never be
"Justifiable" until these facts are
clearly established, and it is in evi
dence that he is himself constant.
Right here is where the entire
theory of the marriage contract is
radically wrong. Men and women
promise to love each other. In many
cases this is impossible. The consort
is not lovable, and the knowledge
that his partner has promised to love
him anyhow makes him all the more
indifferent. The promise to honor is
equally absurd. No man or woman
who is sane can honor that the best
representatives of the sex have long
since revolted against the promise to
"obey."
K, instead of rubbish, the parties
would promise to be honorable and
render themselves as lovable as possi
ble, and each endeavor to carry out
the spirit of this compact, honor and
love would follow as natural results.
The true dishonor of the domestic
henrlh is not In the fact that one of
the parties has loved another, but
that the other party has been so de
r..ltil as tn ncrmit this to become
possible. Tut the blame where it
belongs. Then let us learn that mur
der Is always wrong, and that the
man who wreaks vengeance Is yield
ing to the most despicable of human
passions. Any fool can use a gun,
but it takes a man to stand before
the world, holding up clean hands,
saying: "I have done my best; 1
have lived aright; I have been
wronged; I have suffered; I have for
given." The Phrenologist.

HIXLEY AM) AS AMATEUR.
Your paper. will no doubt be pres
ently full of memories of Prof. Hux
ley. 1 should,. like, with your per
misHion, to add one while his loss is
so frenh with us. Some time ago I
received a letter from an unknown
correspondent asking me for an ac
count of a parishioner of mine, a cas.
ual laborer in a large dockyard. I
found out the man, aud gathered
that he was socially of the laboring
class politically a socialist and theo
logically a free thinker; but that all
his spare time was devoted to origi
nal research, aided by a sixpenny
magnifying glass. So I reported ac
cordingly, and in a few days received
a letter from Prof. Huxley, thanking
me for my exhaustive report, and
-aylng that this mau had sent him a
paper containing a most vivid and
scientifically accurate description of
the multiplication by fission of a
lowly organism observed by him In
an infusion of his own preparation.
The professor's object in writing was
to ask me how best such a mau could
be heljied, J being at his Biaxial re
queat the Intermediary. o I sug
gested in the meantime a microscope
and a few scientific books. In the
course of a lew days 1 recti ve a
splendid achromatic compound mi
croscope and gome books which I
duly handed over to my friend, tell
ing him it was from an unknown
hand. "Ah," he said, "I know who
that must be; it can be no other than
the greatest of living scientists; it is
just like him to help a tyro.".
I need hardly say how well and
truly my friend has profited by the
professor's generosity; still more hy
the thought of his Interest and sym
pathy. It was Prof. Huxley's wish,
I know, to try to find him a post in
a marine laboratory or some simllar
lv ei.iiLreiiial occupation. But this
plan, I fear, will never now be car-
ried out. Still, the fact remains of
true genius, though obscure, having
been discovered and fostered by him
whose death has caused so great a
blank in the roll of great English
savants. Londou Spectator.

The cape of which we are saking
is Cape Canaveral, on the coast of
the United States. Its promenades
have not been very extended, to lie
sure, but the hydrographic surveys
have precisely indicated their direc
tion and speed. It is a santly cape,
whose form is regulated by the action
of two opposing currents, and as the
currents can vary in strength con
siderable variations in form are thus
produced. The cape seems to have
moved from tiny to sixty kilometers
(thirty to thirty-five inllcs) north to
the point where it is now rounu
According to. all probability this
movement would have continued
steadily if the works built on the
coast to facilitate the digging and
transjiort of sand had not modified
the natural currents.' New modifica

a new movement toward the south
of about fifteen kilometers (nine
miles) and apparently these move
ments are not at an end. The cape

L. V. Briggs, of Heppner, writes
a sensible paragraph to the Oregonian
on the recent Jackson Hole Indian
scare. The hints therein given are
nearly or quite sufficient to free us
from Iudian wars. He says:
"The statemeut of Uoveruor Rich
ards, of Wyoming, as reported In
the 'Oregoulau' of the 3d inst., tempts
me to give the results of my own
observation.
"I came to this coast in 1808, aud,
having been among the Indians a
great deal, know something of their
habits and mode of life.
"Years ago, when game was plenty,
the hunting Indians allowed no part
of the carcass of deer, elk, antelope,
etc., killed by them to go to waste,
utilizing every portion possible, even
to cleaning and preserving the
stomach and intestiues. They dried
and stored all meats not required for
Immediate consumption, and It is
unreasonable to accuse them of kill
ing game for the bides only, now
that game Is getting scarce and diffi
cult to obtain.
"The Indians have two hunting
seasons in the year; a short one in
Juue or July and the other running
through two or three months in the
fall. The surplus meat Is dried and
stored for use during other isirtions
of the year.
"The Bannocks have undoubtedly
been depending upon the fall hunt
for their winter supplies, and If pre
vented from exercising the privileges
granted them by their treaty with
the government, starvation must In
evitably result.
"1 have been an observer in our
Indian wars since coming West, and
have never seen an Indian outbreak
that was not brought about by the
meanness and deviltryof unprincipled
aud lawless whites. Even when
compelled to flee from home, and
take up arms against the Indians in
defense of life, my sympathies were
real I v with them, though I did not
approve of their method of warfare
or propose to stand and lie killed by
them out of sympathy.
"Let us do Justice to the Indians,
treating them honestly, and we will
nut need to butcher them in order lo
have pace,"

the lals.rs of astronomers, although

Saturn's ring has always been popu

Prof. Keeler, ol the Allegheny Ob
servatory, has lust published a very
interesting paper, In which he dem
onstrates by a widely different method
that of the sisH-troseope, the meteoric
constitution of Saturn's rings. Ma
thematical Investigation had shown
that a solid or fluid ring could not
exist under the circumstance in
which the actual ring la placed.
To distinguish between the two
hypotheses, that the ring la a rigid
body, and thai il is a s.varni of
satellites, It Is necessary to Snd a
method of great delicacy by which to
bring the quesliou within the province
of the spectroscope. The relative ve-
locitiesof different purls of the ring
would be essentially different under
each condition. If the riug rotated
as a whole, the velocity of the outer ,
edge would exceed that of the inner; ,
bat if the ring is uu aggregate of re
volving satellites, the speed would be
greatest at the inner ede. The In
clination of lines iu the siicctra of
the ansae would be reversi-d in
the respective cases. If, again,
the ring rotates a a whole,
the displacement of lines in its
spectrum would follow the same
laws as for a rotating sphere. But
the lines now actually photographed
by Prof. Keeler successfully in these
experiments prove conclusively that
tlw velocity of the Inner edge of the
ring exceeds that of the outer, and
that the relative velocities at different
parts satisfy Kepler's third law.
Everything iM-rtainiug to the mu
nificent system of Saturn is of great
Interest, and the actual aspect of the
lines in Prof. Keelcr's photographs
is in exact accordance with that re
quired by the theory that the rings
are composed of a swarm of meteoric
podies, or small satellites, revolving
about the planet. These swiftly
moving particles, then, in the outer
edge of the ring travel round Saturn
in twelve hours and live minutes, a
peri. si slightly larger than that of
Jupiter's fifth satellite; while the
meteoric bodies composing the inner
edge of the ring go completely round
the planet in the astonishingly short
interval of five hours and fifty min
utes, nearly two hours less than the
period of Phobos, the inner moon of
Mars.
I.a)lug hii Army Telephone.
An interesting experiment of in.
stalling a telepone by trotting caval
ry was recently successfully under
taken by some Prussian I'hlans le-
tween Berlin and Potsdam. Two
sets of one officer and two non-com-
misloned officers proceeded in the
early morning respectively from Ber
lin and Potsdam. Ivtch set was
equipped with a complete telephone
apparatus which one of the men car
in a leather case on his chest, be.-idi
the requisite quantity of thin win .
The end of the wire was lounecieii
With the respi Cli ve lowim' tcli-plmm
station, and Hie wire w.is, i.y i...; ..
of a fork fixed at the end of Hie Loire,
Ihrowu over the tops of iiu tree
along the road. As eaih I-. i I. . n-t i
ol wire was thus i-u-pen .'eil a hall
was made, and it was ascerl ii. ed
whether there was cinnccti n with
the station. A new kilometer of
wire was then connected with the
former, and on went the men. The
two sets met at Teltow. Tho wires,
having been respectively tested with
their respective stations, were con
nected, and telephone connection le
tween Berlin and Potsdam, was es
tablished. The distance is about
tweuty miles, and the whole thing
was done iu about four hours.
Kirty Per Cent In Ills Favor.
I came along to the gate of a hum
ble cabin in a town In Alabama Just
as an old negro hunded a couple of
jugs to his son, who was alsiut lo
years of age, and said :
"Now, Julius, yo' gwan down to
the grocery an' git a quart of 'lassie
In one ob dem jugs an' hurry back."
When the boy had gone I saiJ to
the father :
"You didn't tell him to get any
thing in the other jug. Is ho going
to leave it at the grocery?''
"No, sah gwan to bring it right
back home," he replied.
"But why send two jugs to get a
quart of molasses?"
"It's jess dis way, sah. II lie only
took one )ug, he'd lc powcrfu' suah
to bump it or dr p it an' lose de
