Marital infelicity, the domestic complication i, and the increase of divorce, which are outgrowth1 of the contradictory marriage and divoi ce laws of the different states, pass computation. Should Senator Edmunds succeed in his efforts to mahe one law common to every state, he would be remembered as one of the grea^ett moral reformers of the age. The New York Tribune, in commenting upon it, however, observes that tboH« polii ift about which there is the least dispute are the hardest to develop, and such raeac ares are difficult to pass. Bat the growtii of public opiaion is co»niiiUail« in tbe rig'it direction. The wotlo seems to g'tin, as time advances, a broader view of purely moral questions, and legislation bos b.?en always it harmony «ith reform, and not opposeo t) it. Any legislation to re-establish slavery, to protect and foter polygamy, to encourage any evil whose force hat been broken, would be futile. Tht wrong aud injustice that still exist will be eradicated as certainly as others ol tbe same nature have been overthrown The advance of truth and right is undeniable, comparing laws that have beeu enacted within the past twenty yean with those previous to that time, especially those which directly afl ct the domestic life of the nation. A uniform carriage and divorce law will be enforced within ten years, or possibly, within a much shorter time.

Dr. Morgan Dix continues to emulate the old woman in her contest with tht Atlantic. Two years ago he proceeded to demolish those beld and shameltst females who have gone into business, pre ferring to be independent self-support ing and helpful to others, rather lhai, unwelcome dependents upon the bounty of their thrifty relatives. He preached a series of Lenten sermonB on the subject, but, so for as is known, not one of the individuals to whom his efforts were addressed threw up her position and

promised repentently never to do so any

more. The fruits of his labors would certainly not encourage any other man to continue in warring against the uncon querable, but the v. tforzan believes keeping right on- He is .w condemning what he calls the indecencies oi female apparel. But, as a milinary reformer he has failed as inglorioudy as ht did in his crusade against "unsexed women." Up to date, there is as laviBb a display of necks, shoulder blades and bosoms as there was before hicondemnation, not a scrap of lace, nor a concealing ribbon, nor an additional button has been added to the corsage which he not unreasonably considers shameful. The doctor's proper field is church hinory, the rubrics and vestments, where change is not necessary, cannot be expected, and never will be made. As a practical rt former he lacks the necessary and extended knowledge of the class at whhh he aims. Those whe jncceed in reforming the evil tend ncy or behavior of the raoe must be real, live ib-and-blood men, not ascetics, who have, for some mysterious reason, faileJ in liieir vocation.

A WAR INCIDENT.

Why Sadly Obarch was built toy New Ha»p-hlre Yankees—A BemftikaMa Incl'le Memphis Appeal* a

The Manassas Gszetteof Saturday last has a relation by Mr. J. Rice of a war incident that ie tar ou' of the common way. Briefly stated, at the battle of Bull Run Colonel Rice, then a private in tbe Second New Hampshire regiment, was shot through the luogs. He was carried to Sudley Church, where the surgeons were attending to tbe wounded. The approach of the enemy drove tfiem away, leaving him, apparently dead, and lying under a fence. Two days after the battle he recovered consciousness. He could not move the flits clustered about the wound, and he lay alone, suffering and hopeless. Atnoa Benson and his wife, returning from Sudley Cburcb, where they had been assisting the wounded Yankee boys, caught sight of him. On discovering that he was alive, tbe services of a doctor was asked, bnt he said he had too many to attrnd to give time to so hopeless a case. The good Bensons, however, stood by him,' bathed,fed and attended to him until in ten days he was well enough to be taken from the fence and gain attention from the doctor, and eventually he recovered and was sent to Libby prison. For twenty five years Mr. Rice thought of those who had saved him, but lining an excursionist party lo Gettysburg a few weeks ago, he hastened on to Bull Run to ask after his deliverers. They were still living, and it is hard to tell whether their joy or bis was greatest at the meeting. They tcId him that when they had found him they regarded him as an enemy whom they might neoiect, then came the thought that tbe Christian must do tcood, even to his enemy, and they gave him th»ir tenierest care Before returning Colonel Rice a«ke what he could do to t»stif tie gratitude. They declared notoiug W"S due to them, but on his persisting

Rev. Benson said their, church had beei destroyed in the war. With much difficult for the neighborhood is poor, they had rebuilt it, but a debt of $2u0 on it hung a heavy weight on tbe ngregstion, and if he could help a little theie nis helpers wuld think themselve* xmply paid. On reaubing his hom* Colan»l Rice gave a narrative of what tbe Benson's had done for him, and asked if any would join nim in paying off the chmcb d.-bt. These Easterrers, once so despised in Old Virginia, responded heartily, and in a few days $235 was sent to Sudley Church, tbe very creed xnd denomination of which Colonel Rice was entirely ignorant of but he wye that be knew that a church that produceu such Christiano was a good and trne church. And the Yankees of New Hampshire that so promptly raised the money for a church in tne South, is no credit due to them? Here also we have another instance ot the happy fact that we are »gain one people, of one nation, with one government and glorying in one fl»g We cannot but think of the worde 'the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and a child shall lead them."

AFTER BREAKFAST CHAT

David Swing is one of the most Mo* quent of American clergyman. He preaches every Sunday to an audience— which assembles in Central Music hall, Chicago, and is distinguished from a congregation in a church. His constUuents are largely board of trade men, and professional men equally well endowed with this world's good*. There is congregational singing, so that his soul ia never tormented with the squabbles of rival sopranos and centraltie. No collection is taken up, and he has no Obca sion tJ fe*l the diepointment that must follow when the offering pint out unusn ally rick in nickeb, pennies and button*.

He has no anxiey about his salary. Not only is the fnll subscription paid promptly, but it is supplemented front time to tme, by additional sums which are designated "pnrsei," *nd which are privately tendered, or publicly, at banquets and dinners, with the usual excnange of sentiments, and after the discusaioo of an epicurean bill of fare.

The name uf tbe most popular l-.ader of thegerman does not appear in the encie'y columns of the newspapers oftener than his. And he is conspicuous at all the opera festivals, and ia a mnat competent critic of histrionic tol-nt. He, therefore, decidedly practises what b«preacbe*. for be has just anuouneed, officially, that the puisuit of happioeee.is th« highest and noblest occupation in which the human rate engage.

Tne puisuit of happiness, among the class with which Mr Being is identifi-d, has for its object^ hat which is denominated pleasure. Its outward manifestations are dainty fa re, luxurious raiment, ease and perpetual entertainment. Hap pin ess of this sort contrasts forcibly with the life and poverty, ttie mental, spirit usl and physical suffering of the man of sorrows, who was acquainted with giief, and whose teachings Mr. Being may be xuppoeed to inculcate into the hearts of men, to-day.

It also contrasts strongly with a remark which I once heard Myron Ra make. It was to the effect that no man in this world had a right to be happy. Whoever said he wis happy admitted that he was utterly indifferent to tbe misery of .humanity which confronts him at every turn. He regarded the moral situation of tbe race aa something spalling, and those who were capable of compiebending it, were nt happy. Canyle, George Eliot—all the gnat thinkers—were moved with profound sorrow, and wete not impelled to the punnit of happiness by their study of the treat social problems of the present. Mr. 8wing, however, belongs to a more modern school of theology.

I hesitate to say a word that may deprive worthy class of any ptivilege necessary to their comfort tnd wellbeing. But the public, also, has rights that should be respected, and the obligations are, by no means, all on one side. In certain occupations there are employes who think, apparently, that all courtesy and consideration are due them, without making the slightest return.

In Terre Haute, this is especially true in the shops, and I regret to say that I have seen neglect and ill-breeding displayed here, thot can be paralelled only in one or two Chicsgo establishments and at a place in New York which will occur immediately to tbe mind, of any one who has ever been there. I allude in particular to the habit that clerks, both male aod female, have of discussing their private affairs with each other across tue counters while the purchaser, who is probably in a hurry, is passively waiting until they hive finished. I have heard, since I came here, fiagmentary talks concerning tfhoes, loves, "fellows," "tbe dance la-t iigbt,""the theater to-morrow oighi," and, on one occasion, waited until two you. women concluded a spirited quirrel which threatened to come to blows.

At another time I went into a place to buy a pair of mit'eis for a boy if 16, and the tlerk placed before me asise adapted to the nerds of a child of 10 She is obat ing glibly with her sistercl rk in regard to some personal affair, and when 1 repeated the request, to which she not pay the slightest attention, she substituted for tbem collection intended for infants of exceedingly tender ears. Then 1 mildly hinted th she was not attending to her business which tiroutht her to her senses, and caused her Cheeks to flush with indignation Were a peison to come to an office upon bunoess and the employes entirrly ignore his prese ce, continue tneir tasks, or proceed with the conversation which he nad interrupted, there would be a epeedy demand for an explanation. Why different treatment should be accorded to customeis in shops it is difficult to understand. Heretofore I have always firiuly believed that clerks were a much-im pueed upon class. But my residence here has forced me to conclude that there are occasions when the purchaser is likewise entitled to sympathy. ,r

Utilitarianism is the most prominent characteristic of the present century. Ia the middle ages poets dreamed of the ideal, and painters found inspiration in viaions of the supernatural and the miraculous. It is true that Christ and the Madonna still furnifeb studies for the few, but the modern countenances that look down from tbe canvass belong to this century and to no former one.

In Holman Hunt's great masterpiece the realism of tools and shavings are more impretsive than the central figure. The Christ in Munckacsy'e pic tare is said to be much more picture of Barrabas than of Jesus. The same spirit permeates literatu e. Fancy, imagey, all tbe qualities that distin guisbed romance from unadorned fact, have ceased to be. "The Heart of Midlothian," "The M«steries of Udolpho," "Tbe Last of the irons," "Henrv Esmond" and "Bleak douse,'' have been succeeded by a series •if' studies" bearing such titles as "The Elevator," "The Register," the "Mouse Trap," "The Spe king Tube." We have another extreme, which is only a phase of the same fault, in theeligi -rentimentalism Miss Phelp-' titles in g-ner 1, 'Burglars in Paradise" and "TheMadonna of the Tubs" in Darticular.

MRS LAK1N S ADDRESS

Delivei ed Before t- brws Star at ike erst tnet .11* ton.

The fallowing ie the address delivered by Mrs Aunie V. Lakin at the iu*t«lle tion of officers of the Order of Eastern Star. Sitter* and BroUurt ej the Terre Haute

Chester: 8iuce our last ymef delightful meeting at whidb we entertained not onlj our grand matron, but the grand matron uf our sist state of Iltnwi% my ume has been spent in attending on' the sick. I arvse myself thia evening from abed ot sickness to come here and preside, for the last time as your VoiJiy matron, over your deitberaiiona ineae ftcta will account for the absence of the formal address, which I had expected to present to yon on this occasion, in this address I had proposed to trace, aa I see it, the progress of onr chapter dm ing the three years in which I, by your suftiages, have been the presiding officer of this body. But the few biief words which are offend for your consideration now are but tbe merest outline of events during the trinity of veats which Will close to-nighi.

A little less th four years ago 1 became a member, of this chapter, entered the order, it must be confessed, somewnat reluctantly, and only in deference to the wishes of one whom it ia my duty, aa ll as my gieat pleasure, to consult in alt things. Bat my prejudice soon melted away under tbe bright beams of our Guiding Star, and now I can truly say that I love the work of the order. 1 love it with a love that ia ever increasing. I admire its beautiful ceremonials, its noble and elevating sentiments, and its high and holy purposes.

I see in it, for the iuture, grand possibilities of good for woman, and, through her influence, foi all humanity. Aod iu bshalf of womanhood, I gratefully and sincerely thank tbe venerable patriarch of our order, whose pictured face, so full of Christian beneficence, looksdown upon us from the west, for his earnest and persistent efforts in our cause—efforts which have already been crowned with abundant succSse, and which are destined yet to bring aoout such grand results as shall carry hts name down to posterity, covered with blessings and honor. I thank you, my brothers of i'erre Haute Chapter, Who have so nobly aided and encouraged us—who have given us of your wisdom and strength and larger experience, generously aud freely. And" I am sure that I voice the sentiment of all tuy sisters when 1 say that we hold in high reverence, and eeteein all good Masons, whom we look upon as the exponents of the bent elements of Chiistian manhood—the guaidians of sacred homes, the world over, the upholdeis and defenders of truth and rgit in all places and under all circuiuett. ces.. All honor to tbe noble brotherbo.'01 and, as it has come down to us thn ugb centuries spent the terv -of humanity, BO it ou to the end of ume, sin enlarging its binders, still doing it» -ueticei work

In our chapter, uUiii the last t-.rre years, we have nor, nad perpe'ual «uusnin*-, but the clouds aod storms wnica darkened our sky for a ssasou have ai p&tSrd away, leaving the whole membership better and stronger tbau briore. 'S«eetare tbe uces of adversity," for Uuder itxstern tutelage w*- bave learned lessons of wisdom and forebearmce.

The ciaius ol our chaptrr to consideration among the cnp era of our uwo and otber stat.es is oo louger t»aSHi upn tbe sole f.-ct of numerical superior iy bur, while maintaining that, we have icaiued the reputation of being as wide awake as our neiahb irs, far or near. In short, Terre Haute Chapter has at last taken ber proper place, in view of tbe aise and importance of our city, gnd the exalted position of several ot her members in tbe M-sonic irgamxtionsof the state and henceforth need bs led by none.

We are prosperous and harmooious, and all things are ready for a year of unprecedented growth and activity. I venture to predict that wiih the strong corps of officeis which you will doubtless elect to-nigbt, we shall enter upon an era of success such as sh*ll draw upon us the eyes of the whoie or^ei—and I congratulate you beforehand.

The Order of tbeEietern Bar is no longer an experiment By the firey trials through which it has passed, and the deep-rooted pr« judices it has overcome.it i* proved that the older hits come to stay Not only has it come to say but it has come for a purjtose. It has a mission to perform a good wjrk to do which only the women of free America, bound to getherby tbe solemn obligations of our order, and undsr the protection of the moat powerful secular organisation the world has ever known, can accomplish. It is destined to become a potent factor in the new civilisation by means of which the inhabitants of earth shall be uplifted and "bound by golden chains about the feet of God." And I earnestly appeal to yon, my sisters ot. Terre Haute Chapter, to make the most Of the opportunity which is before you. Come out to tbe chapter meetings and take psrt in the proceedings. Give us the benefit of yenr couosel and assistance, prepare yourselves for tbe wore that lies bcf re yoo, and, due time, our field of labor will be opened to us, and we shall be ready to enter therein, and reap for the Master's cause.

Japanese children have an infinite variety of i-p irt3, too varied for mention in an article of this length. Boys devote themselves to kite-flying in the si-ring months, when the winds prevail. There are singing and #hist ing kites in tie shape of birds, animals and men. Men even spend days fiyiog monster kites, so large that it takes a stout rope to hold hem. Boys also tpin tops, play soldier, wrestle and practice all sorts of athletic exeieises. Tbe fifth days tbe fifth months of every year are boys festival days, on which the youmr»r sons of th f.tmilv have presents of flags decorated with representations of the daring deedof the great men of the country, and especially those of their ancestors who have been noted for bravery or wisdom On this day, and for weeks afterward, the whole country presents a Btrange appearance. Every house that has boys in the family erects a flagstaff, to which a large cloth fish is suspended. Some of tbese are thirty or forty feet in length, and when they are inflated by the breeze look like a fish swimming iu the water. Th-se fishfl-gs represnt the carp, whit has the reputation of being the most active, dariog and persistent of all fish. Tbese are the qualities wbich boys are taught toemultie. Girls play battledore, and beCome very skillful at it, and tbey are as much.devoted to their dolls as thei' little sisters of other races. The tiird Jday of the third month is the doll festi I val, when every little tfirl receives pres.enis of dot's from all her friends and has a doll show in ber bouse. There are also beautiful exhibitions of dressed dolls on certain stretti in all tbe towntand cities, md the wbole poonlation turn out to celebrate the day and entertain the little folks.

le do not realise their danger. They seen comparatively sm»li expenditures iu making lake harboiS and ports result in buiidin* up a commerce which rivals that of the entire seacoast.

They do not realise that, while under existing treaties ntithei England nor tbe Uniteo States can maintain anv naval force on the lakes, yet on the oniDieak of war, England can send through the W»l land canal 111 vessels, with over 400 guns, while we are absolutely powerless. T. Welland canal can carry' vesaels of thirteen feet draught, the Erie only seven feet. So long as we leave the Erie canal in its present condition we leave it in England power on the outbreak of war to destroy Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, and a number of smaller cities, and, ut-l-ss the Eogliah vessels could be slopped by toipedoe* iu tbe Detroit river, Chicago and Milwaukee as well.

The question finally resolves itself to this: Our harbors on the ocean and lake shores are dtfer seless against existing navies. Is it wise to leave them so when we bave the means to protect them it never has been so considered nntil within tbe last few years. Who can name any reasons why such a risk is more justifiable now than it has been in the J^-t? Does not th* enormous increase in property valu rt-i-dor the risk greater now than it ever 'ias been before?
