The Iowa prohibitionists are displaying much tact in their efforts to secure prohibition in that state. They are not discouraged by the decision of the supreme court annulling the amendments, but are determined to yet make it the law of the state. Until the next legislature meets they intend to devote their time to educating the people on the temperance question. They refuse to allow the question to become a party one.
It is the commonly accepted doctrine that no man should be condemned unheard, and it is in pursuance of this just belief that the correspondents are giving Wiggins, the Canadian weather prophet, the benefit. iiis explanation for the failure of his prediction for a great storm on Friday last. He says he overlooked the fact that the astronomical day begins at noon on the meridian of London, and our day begins at 12 at night, consequently the storm fell on the Pacific instead of the Atlantic, and will strike particularly heavy in Africa. He thinks we will get the tail end of it yet in this country.
Governor Butler, if lie is actuated by the spirit of the demagogue, has been very shrewd in his movement for a reform in the management of the state prison ^Massachusetts. There is no subject upon which people can be moved more than the abuses in prisons and asylums. Nearly everyone is more or less of the belief that the inmates of these institutions are victims of brutal treatment. Novels have been written to show the manner of treatment of convicts and insane persons, and newspapers are constantly using every means to cxnloro the secrecies of prisons and asylums. During the last year there have been a number of exposures of inhuman conduct on the part of those in charge of insane hospitals in several states, and in each instance the management has been enabled by use of influence uLone kkid and another to secure a coat of whitewash and continue with renewed license to maltreat the unfortunate beings consigned to their c:tre. Those who have given the subject much attention assert that the most humane person becomes hardened bv vears of continued isolation within the walls of a prison or an asylum, and continued association with men and women who are absolutely powerless to resent any treatment that may be bestowed upon them. The fact that the world never sees the inside workings of these places, except on set occasions, increases the suspicion aroused in the first place by chance disclosures. Governor Butler took a peculiar method of gaining information, when he had it announced to the assembled convicts in the

A well-known lawyer once said to a when pa came home he would search for me. So I slept in the back hall on a cot. But I didn't want pa to have all his trouble for nothing, so I borrowed an old torn cat that toy chum's old maid aunt owns, juid put.thecaf.in my bed. I thought if, pa-'came in my room after, me, and found that by his unkindness that I had changed to a torn cat, he would be sorry. That is the biggest cat you ever see, and the worst fighter in our ward. It isn't afraid of anything, and can whip a
to submit to the jury, I departed from custom and read a carefully prepared, speech. No sooner had I don'e so than I regretted that I bad liot thrown aside mv notes. I found that I could not get at the jury." Scores of ministers are constantly complaining that they cannot "get at" their congregations. They are not ministers who are independent of their manuscripts. Show us a minister who is reckoned the most successful and we will show you one who preaches without notes. There is much sense in the eulogium passed upon a popular divine by an old hunter, "I like him," said Nimrod, "because he shoots without a rest."
The preaching that is philosophic, refiective, metaphysical, possibly without serious disadvantage, may be done from the closely followed written page. So, too, may that preaching be which is to interest a cultivated audience as a fine lecture would. But the preaching which is calculated to arouse and quicken must follow not that method nor yet the extemporaneous method, which, except in rare instances, has its outcome in loose and inconsecutive thought, but a method which leaves the preacher as free to come iDto personal, persuasive relations with his hearers as if lie were a lawyer or a stump-speaker. »Ve are aware that some ministers say that they cannot trust themselves to get up in their pulpits without a firm reliance upon their notes. The implication of coursc is that thov hold that they had better preach with notes than not preach at all. But it is a question whether poor preaching, preaching that dies not take hold, is not worse than no preaching. No man would feel that he had a call to be a jury lawyer who found that he could not "shoot without a rest" in court. Why should a man with similar limitations feel that he has a call to address his fellows in relation to matters of the first importance? A few weeks ago a minister in a neighboring city who preaches to more emptv than occupied pews, took for the subject of bis discourse the decline of religion. He proved the decline by reference to a mass of suggestive statistics and concluded by an urgent appeal to his hearers to join him in supplications to the throne of gi-ace for a revival. The matter of the sermon was excellent, but the manner! From first to last the speaker was closely confined to his notes, and the urgent appeal with which he concluded was shorn of nearly all its force since it came from the lips of a man not leaning toward his hearers, but bending over his desk not looking into the eyes of those whom he desired to touch, but upon the printed page. The sermon ought to have produced a deep impression. Apparently it produced none. There was no magnetism in it.

MYSTERIOUS CHARM OF MANNER.

Just as there are certain indelible traits in the British national character, so there are hundreds of English families whose members are mutually connected not more by ties of kindred than by the common possessioh of so hie peculiarity of physiognomy or deportment. Extreme urbanity is the W.aliion of one house .a certa^ most brutal br'^tjUCI.egs ^ie patrimony of another. Nobody belonging to the ancient race of Cambas was ever known to be able to eat cold tongue with coinfort.

liea. I of the house was a contemporary of Falkland, and eclipsed that accomplished and interesting nobleman— toward whom the English public of the present day is beginning to entertain something of the same kind of sentiment as was experienced by the Athenians in the case of Aristid,es—in urbanity and all courtly and knightly virtues.
He was anything but an Apostel, but it was said of him that given half an hour's start, he could cut out any man in England in the affections of a woman. Since then this mysterious cliann of manner lias never been wanting to any son or daughter of the race. It has adhered to parents and children with a tenacity worthy of the gout. It has never found a place in any of Mr. Galton's treatises on heredity but it no more departs out of the household than have hitherto done the family jewels or the silver spoons and forks. The scions of one ancient stock are born to good looks, of another to good luck, and every member of a fourth rides apeculiarjand different hobby horse of his own or her own. The charm of manner is just as tangible an attribute as any other. It is a jewel above price but its virtues are not without certain accompanying perils which are peculiarly their own.
It is said of the present Lord Napier and Ettrick that when, at the height of his diplomatic popularity, he was asked who was the pleasantest man i^ Europe, he naively replied, "I am. The consciousness of such a reputation is a tremendous burden and is not given to every one to bear it with the grace and ease of our sometime ambassador at St. Petersburg and Ber-

I think pa took the torn cat right by the neck, the way he does me, and that left all the cat's feet free to get in their work. By the way the cat squalled as though it was being choked, I know pa had him by the neck. I suppose thereat thought pa was a whole flock of New Foundland dogs, and the cat had a record on dogs, and it kicked awful. Pa's shirt was no protection at all in a cat fight, and the cat just walked all around pa's stomach, and pa yelled 'police,' and 'fire,' and 'turn on the hose,' and he called ma, and the cat yowled. If pa had had presence of mind enough to have dropped the cat, or rolled it up in the mattrass, it would have been all right, but a man alwavs gets rattled in time of danger, and "lie held onto the cat and started down stairs yelling murder, and he met ma coming up. I guess ma's night-cap, or something, frightened the cat some more, cause he stabbed ma on the night-shirt with one foot, and ma said 'mercy on us,' and she went back, and pa stumbled on a hand-sled that was on the stairs, and they all fell down, and the cat got away and went down in the coal bin and" vowled all night. Pa and ma went into their room, and I guess they anointed themselves with vasalino and Pond's extract, and went and got into my bed, cause it was cold out in" the hall, and the cat had warmed my bed as well as
Death of Tambcrlik, the Tenor. Philadelphia Times. The death is announced at Cadiz of Henri Tamberlik, the once famous Italian tenor, who since his retirement from the stage has been carrying on the manufacture of fire-arms near Madrid. Tamberlik was born in Rome in 18^0 and made his debut at Naples in 1841 in "1 Capuletti." Heappeared successively at Lisbon, Madrid and London, where he sang with great success in "William Tell," Kobert" and "Les Huguenots." At St. Petersburg, where lie sang also "Le Prophete" and "Dinorah," he was attached to the court.

FOR CHINAMEN.
NEW YEAR'S
the teculiaritie* of Their Observance of Their One Great Itnported Holiday. ,, New Tprk the Chinese setUenjent in. Mott and Pell streets wore a gala appearance yesterday in h6nor of the new year. The house fronts were decked with crimson streamers, and gaudy plumes of peacock feathers and gilt fringe nodded above the business signs. Having conscientiously paid all their last year's dobts with silver coin the Chinese residents entered with enthusiasm into the celebration of the day. Business among them wasentirely suspended. The hosts made elaborate preparations. Collations of imported Chinese fruits were spread on gorgeously lacquered trays. There were sweet beans, a candy that much resembled American taffy, and raisins, nutS) and citrioiis-looking. cakfs. Decaliters of wine flanked the trays. A lighted candle burned on each table, and joss sticks, .which filled the air with clouds of the perfume of burning sandal wood, smouldered in burnished holders. The callers shook hands and exchanged genial greeting with their hosts in pure Chinese, and then fell to eating and drinking. The tea had a delicious taste. Caucusian callers were given some excellent gin in addition.
The Mott street restaurant had a full Mongolian brass band in attendance, and crowds stood outside listening. Gongs were beaten with great energy, drums thumped, files blown until they nearly burst, and string instruments scraped until the building echoed as if it were full of unhappy cats.
After nightfall the houses were hung with glimmering lanterns, and more uproarious music was indulged in. Deputy Sheriff Tom Lee had huge illuminated, balloonns hliiig from his balcoliy. Wong Ching Foo, the editor of the Chinese American, received a load of invitations, and sen^-' tnneqno c»H: tarn. "To-day is only part of the festival," said lie. "To-morrow and Friday are the most jubilant days. They will be given tip to feasting and merrymaking. The Chinalnen Will eat the luxuries they offfered as |sacrificial teas' for the gods on New Teat's evev The roast pigs and ducks and chickens will be eaten witb great cerehiony, and wine glasses will be drained to the success of the New Year. In China this feasting is kept up a fortnight, but the Chinamen in America" are too busy to to'prolong it beyond three days."
Many pious Chinamen quitted town •to-day to go to Belleville to participate in the religious ceremonies which begin at sunrise to-day. The only Joss house in the eastern part of the country In thei'Bi and Chinamen from all parts of the East go there once a year to worship in the temple.
Building Skyward.
The growth of New Yook skyward is full of surprises to the visitor of the metropolis and, indeed, to hot a few long-time residents. The lofty buildings wJiich are springing up all over the city-, have introduced various startling innovations. The establishment of a first-class restaurant nine stories above the ground, for example. "Come up stairs to lunch with me," said a friend whom I found established in fine quarters on the sixth floor of the immense Mills building, the other day. "Up stairs, did you say?" I inquired in some amazement, "Why, yes," he replied,as he led the way to the elevator, which quickly whisked us three stories further up in the air "our restaurant is on the ninth floor and there, sure enough, I found as nice a little French restaurant as one could ask for, with an elaborate bill of fare, excellent cooking, careful service and reasonable prices, to say nothing of the delightful quietness of" freedom from the noises of the street many scores of feet below. "What supports a restaurant at this remarkable elevation?" I queried, as we ate a table d'hote lunch that was wonderfullv go jd for the money. "In the "first place," my friend explained, "here is a community to draw patronage from in this building large enough to make a sizeable town. 1 suppose there must be some five hundred people in the offices on the various floors, a good proportion of whom come here for lunch every day, Then, too, I observe a good" many men who have their otlices in other buildings in this quarter of the town, and who like to escape the commotion of most down town restaurants." And as I contrasted the comfort of the place with the hurlyburly of some other restaurants in the neighborhood which I had patronized on other occasions, it did not seem quite so strange as at first that a thrifty Frenchmen should have pitched his gastronomical tent at such an altitude.
Dangerons Improvements. Brooklyn Eagle. The advance of civilization has done much to prolong the average duration of human life. Better food, better houses, a greater security agairfet violence of any sort have made life more comfortable and reduced the danger of an early death. But there is such a thing as going too far. Many new inventions and improvements arc positively dangerous to human life. Our streets have become unsafe for foot passengers and vehicles. The air above them is filled with a net work of wires carrying electric currents of deadly power. If they should break and fall in the street, as might easily happen at a fire, by a load of ice or other causes, it might be instant death for a man to touch them. If a stream from I'.e engine should play against two broken ends of the wire the electricity would follow the stream of water and kill the firemen. Again, the wires are so numerous in many localities that it would be almost impossible to raise ladders for the rescue of the people out of the flam s. This is tho danger overhead. Thereare other dangers underfoot. A few feet underground are pipes charged theirwhole length with a pressure which only a boiler is fitted to withstand. The result is that these pipes burst and create havoc by irrup tion of the street. This has already happened several times. Again, the gas pipes leak so that the ground becomes saturated with gas. This collects in the manholes of the steam companies and explodes with terrific violence when a spark reaches it. This happened twice last we«k. More common dangers arethe difficulty in crossin streets through a jam of vehicles, the slipperyness of the coal-hole, covers and the explosions of boilers under sidewalks. We are getting civilized out of existence.

down and guns. Everything~was a? at should,be in the first rank. The culprit in Lhe second rank began to tremble all the more for his safety, inasmuch as his promotion to a lieutenancy was at stake, in case he should be found out. This Bismarck realized, and while his friend was on the point of voluntarily denouncing himself in order to clear the rest of the men from an unjust suspicion, he whispered to him: 'Look sharp, take your gun in the left arm, I'll throw you mine.' No sooner said than done, BO quickly in fact, that the inspecting officer did not notice it, and ihe case of the killed stork remained an unexplained mystery. Over a mug of beer that night Private Bismarck declined to receive the thanks of his comrade for a service 'which was not worth talking about to this day the two are pleasant neighbors and 6worn friends.
A HAT PULL OP MOLASSES.
Novel Ruse by Which a Groecryman Was liubbed. New York Times.
A robber)- in which the comic element predominated was leported at the central office yesterday. John II. Yon Dolilen, a German, who keeps a grocery store at Washington and West Eleventh streets, was the unfortunate victim. A well-dressed young man entered his store on Friday afternoon and asked Van Dbhl'ch to change a ten dollar bill. In making change for the bill the groceryman incautiously exhibited a roll of bills containing $275. Shortly lifter the departure of the stranger two other young men entered the store laughing uproariously. Yon Do'ilem who Wa5 alone in the place, asked'then the cause of their merriment, and one of them said that he had made a most ridi'*"1— bet with
cumpanion,
and thev
wanted YoriDohlen to decide it. The stranger said that he had a wager that his hat would hold more molasses than the one worn by his companion, and they wanted the grocer to decide it by filling their hats with molasjses. Yon Doluen thought that the men were inclined to poke fun at him, and at first told them he had nothing to do with k, btiij they alsitred him. that they v. ei-e serioUs, and would pay for the molasses used in deciding the bet. One of the men handed him his hat, and Yon Dolilen filled it with molasses. As he handed the hat back to the man from whom he had taken it, his arms were suddenly seized from behind by one of the men, while the other slapped the hat filled with molasses on the head of the unfortunate grocer and pulled it well down over his ears. The molasses ran down over his face and into his eyes, completely blinding him for the time, and while in that helpless condition the thieves, for such they proved to be, stole the roll of bills fr.om iliis pocket and fled. When Von Dohlen succeeded, after considerable trouble, ih removing the hat and clearing his eyes and face from the sticky rUoiasses,. the men had disappeared with his money. Yon Dohlen yesterday received many calls from sympathizing friends and neighboring tradesman,, but he was not inclined to be communicative on the subject of the robbery, and eyed with suspicion customers calling for molasses.
THE BLACIt ARTILLERY.
A Now York Girl's Experience in Maisnchusctts Seminary. Extract from a Letter to a Schoolmate.
You know they fit us for life here— teach us French, music, ceramics and housework. To-day I took my first real lesson in housework. Heretofore I had had a taste of it in being detailed to pare apples for half an hour after supper. To-day I was "called off"—that is, instead of working regularly after supper at the apple business, I had to take another girl's work after dinnci. It was my first experiwith what the girls call "the artillery," and may it be the "The black artillery," you must are great black iron steam ketwhich they cook our meals.
ence black last! know. ties There are six of them. They are ugly looking vats. They had been used for dinner, and of course they had to be cleaned. I had never seen the girls cleaning them, and I hadn't the remotest idea of how the thing was done. 1 was too proud to ask. So I set to work with two mops, an iron dishcloth, a dishtowel and some soap. The things arc so deep that 1 had to balance myself on their r'tmsi With heels waving in the air, every now and then 1 made a frantic dip at the bottom. Tiic result of these gymnastics was a smuttered apron, a sprained back, and a very unsettled temper.
When I got through .diving^ into the kettle I tried to regain my equilibrium. Shades of misery! my luckless heels capsized a great pail of dirty water used in cleaning the \at. This brought the matron down on me in the "shake of a goat's foot." She ordered me to mop it up instanter, and not to track around in it and I was actually forced to come down to the indignity of mopping up that dirty, greasy stuff. I flopped around wildly with the pail and mop for about twenty minutes, but my spirit was broken. I was ten minutes late for hall, having worked like a slave for an hour and a half and got one kettle cleaned. Wild horses couldn't have dragged me back to attack the other five.
The Price of a Burglar's Kit. Cleveland Ilerakl. Bank burglars' tools are generally of a vcryfui-crior order, ntliprel ijate. and piecemeal until tho kit is made up. A full kit of the best order is worth $2,000. This may all go in the event of a failure of a job by disturbance, and generally does go when a successful piece of work is accomplished, as the booty is heavy enough to carry away in itself, so that tools are left behind. Mechanics of a superior class exist in larger cities who make a specialty of fashioning burglars'tools. In the absence of such a mechanic the tools are collected in parts, but as this is a risky way of obtaining then, it is avoided if possible.
Kits of the tobyman's tools are kept on hand for hire, and a good collection can be obtained in the centres of the business for from $100 to S200. These tool renters are generally tool makers also, but often the fence has them on hand, and it is part of the business of old cracksmen to keep them. Fifty per cent, of the noted burglars are practical smiths, and thoroughly understand 1 lie temper and capacity of their ov 11 tools. Sometimes a gang, each owning implements of various kinds, pool tlieir possessions, and thus make up a full "kit." The tool makers have their specialties. Some are famous for chisels, others for punches or jimmies, and one maker made a national reputation for a sledge of lead and cop per tluit entirely superseded that for merly used of steel,because of the dull almost noiseless, blow it strikes.
An Anecdote of Bismarck. A good Bismarck anecdote, showing the prince to have been a good comrade from his youth up, is the following: "In 1838, he entered the Potsdam battalion of 'Garde Jaeger' as a one-year volunteer, and six months later, at his own request, he was transferred to the 'Second Jaegers' at Greifswald, in order to be able to profit by the lectures in tlie agricultural school of Eldena. One of the comrades in the battalion was a young man, who at the present day still counts among the great landed proprietors of the province of Pomerania. He then stood in the second rank immediately behind Bismarck. In spite of stringent orders to the contrary, the Jaegers persisted Savoy in frequently firing a shot at- the nu-! for a battery or accumulator to be con-

PALACE BUILDING
The Glass Honaei .Erected by OnrStatesmen. Washington Correspondence of the Zs'ew
York Sun.
Politicians who build palaces at Washington, after going to congress poor originally, are very apt to come to grief in the end. Mr. Windom is an illustration in point. His ambition to display wealth, acquired without any ostensible business, aud while serving as a member of the senate or of the house of representatives, contributed largely toward his receut defeat. Plain people who knew all about his career and his affairs at home, could not understand where thfi money came from that enabled him to live in .pomp and they were hot Batified with his lame explanations.
Mr. Blaine has outstripped all his rivals in palace building. He boasts of having the grandest mansion at the capital, overtopping that of Mr. Corcoran, a millionaire of years standing, and almost alone in its glory, in tliej new west endcreated by the Washington King. The ex-secretary is said to have become suddenly rich. He is known to have many irons in the fire, and they must all be kept hot for immediate use.
The paper on which these schemes and ventures may be wrtt'eh or print-! ed has doubtless very large figures on it. But suppose a "bad tnrn in the market ana no demand for this sort of paper, what then? The palace might turn out to be an elephant on Mr. Blaines' hands, like that of liir rival, Mr. Windom, over whose rejection he lias been rejoicing.
Mr. Sherman .has been the nloat' thrifty and ddi'oit of this class of patriots. He was in no haste to parade the wealth accumulated on salaries of S3,000 and So,000 a y^nr as a ljieinber Ci Congress. Tie waited patiently and cunningly for a time when the sources of this large fortune might be possibly forgotten. But he had no sooner splurged than the story of these illgotten grains was told.
Secor Robeson built a palace among those of the congressional nabobs, and lie, too, has been spurned by an honest constituency. There was no secret about the way in which he acquired riches. The attempt to ihctcase his! store, by the defiance of public opinion, carried" him down, and the party he fitly led in the house justly shared in his deserved disgrace.
Mr. Pendleton's Queen Ann structure stands in the midst of these gay surroundings with a snobbish tone outside and inside. He is said to have four residences at Cincinnati, Washington, Newport and Conway. He affects much style, and is lavish in expenditure.
An old scandle was revived in a recent suit, brought by the widow of one of his sister's children, to recovor a quarter of a million of dollars, alleged to liave been withheld from her in the settlement of the estate, of which Mr. Pendleton and his brother were executors. After making a formal answer Mr. Pendleton compromised the suit by paying $200,000, and in this way avonled the production of the accounts in court.
Palace building at Washington is evidently not a profitable political industry.
A Onc-Lcsscd Wild Nan. South Australian Chronicle. A wild man of fierce aspect and peculiar shape has been discovered by travelers in a forest sixty miles west of Onkaparings. The trunk of his body terminates in a single leg, which is more than twice the thickness of an ordinary leg. The heel of a single foot projects some five or six inches behind the ankle bones, while the foot itself is broad and flat and of extraordinary length. So quick is the man in his actions that he can get over the gjound with much greater rapidity than a man can run blessed with two stout legs. He moves in a series of long hops, and he has been seen to hop across streams twelve and fifteen feet wide. The attempts of travelers to cffect the man's capture proved ineffectual.
