Humanity is as prone to be humbug eed as are the sparks to fly upward Pretense, loud of month, bold and irresistible, elbows ita way into notice, while deseiving and genuine merit waits mod estly and frsquentlv in vain for recognition. The country swarms with mediocre artists, who spread their own testim niala far and wide, and because the public has no eye for color or perspective skill for their misdirected energy, and assist in readjusting affairs fiom bad to worse. The writers of bad poetry and still more meretricious novels are legion. Yet their opinions are oracular and their books sell, whil« the real poet starvas in his garret and the real novelist waits in misery for the recognition that will come only with future generations. The mounte bank preacher, dealing as uiuch in sensationalism as the stage which h« exwates, sifting the Bible for the most abstruse and farfetched t«xt that hs can find, shaking his fists and writhing like an acrobat, lives luxuriously on a splendid salary and lectures between times for a $100 a night, white those who ars immeasurably his superior aw picked to pieces by a dissatisfied congregation, and finally sent to other fields by an inexorable board of tru&tefs. Last week a roan died in EvacsviHe in the hnuss of a wo'uan of the town who atonul for a few of her sins by nursing and caring for him through his tin*! tlitiefs He had posed before .ttittiences £3 s. reformed bandit, and had enroled the blood

However, his pretended wicked ness was hid capital, and thanks to the increoulity of his more exemplary fel low men, it yielded him ft good living, and he died infinitely better off than mf.nv a prosaic, honest blacksmith or shoemaker.

BBS— views ad'»J P*' h'.bit!-mUtf the more moderate aiid practical measures proposed by the high license faction, there is not a point in the entire question that has not been canvassed thoroughly. Ordinarily the citieens of a town would not walk across the street to bear a plain statement of the truths of temperance, with wh?tever the orator may have to add in the way of sensible advice, he be a man who has had no kn jwledge of the effects of "rum" as a beverage. But if he should be an individual who sobers up at intervals, loug enongh to describe the symptoms of delirium tremens in 11 its stages, throngs will crewd to bear him, and listen with avidity to sill the details of debauchery which he is able to narrate from personal experience. They hang upon the descriptions of his degradation, h's depravity, which he recites wilh enthusiasm, as if it were the fire of eloquence, the utterance of wisdom, the inspiration of genius. It is not difficult to comprehend why the multitude, condemning the man whose ministry had been characterized by unfailing mercy, compassion and tenderness, -Vmanded the release of Barrabas. It was an expression of defective judgment, inherent in human nature, and as appar-nt to day as it was eighteen hun dred years ago.

A series of articles on European politics is now appearing anonymously in the Fortnightly Eeview, which are reputed to be from the pen of Sir Charles Dilke One of the most interesting was on Russia, and breathed a breath of de. spair for the deBtiny of Western civilisation. The writer regards Eussia as invincible, and will eventually conquer everything, with the possible exception of India. The London Spectator, a Liberal weekly, publishes an able article in reply to the Fortnightly article, and says:
Rusiia at home is practically unassailable bat then «o many a fortress be, yet be enable to conquer anything. The point is not whether fineeia defend herself, but whether Germany or Austria cannot defend themselves. The nnmber of her eoldiers en paper does not signify, and we will leave its discussion to professionals, bat can Russia find men, transport, commissariat and competent leaders for an invading army which Germany or Aaptria coald not deetroy—that is, in fact, an invading army of at least half a million men? There is no proof whatever of the assertion. She has had every mutiye in her more recent wars, beginning with the Crimeaa and ending with the war of 1877, to display snch strength, and she has not done it. She did not drive oat the English and French armies. She had to summon aid in erder tw take Plevna.
The Spectator then proceeds to consider the quality of the Russian army: Then, quality oounts as well as mass and where, as yet, the evidenoe of superior quality? The Baasian soldier is brave, obedient and tenaoious but he isnnderfed, ill-provided, and, ontsine the Gaard, ill iastruoted in the nse of his arms. Above all, he diee quickly, ns qoickly aa a Frenoh censoript in the Eaat. All consoripts are wasted, bcoause they can ba replacen, and Russian conscripts are wasttd more than any. It is the specialty of the Russian armies to melt away jast as their work seema done, and the melting, observed ia nil ancient invasions of Turkey, in SnrarofFs wonderful march into Switzerland, in the defense of the Crimea, and in the latost Turkish war, is due to the Russian liability to sickness, alike on the march and in the encampment. The corrnp. tiou which cripples the commissariat is declared not to be extinct, while economy of the honest kind ia neoessarily owing to the fright ful numbers to be supported, pushed to a pint at which overworked men, and especially overworked man with an inherent tendency toward despair, oannot be kept in health. \s to the fighting qualities of the rank and tile, nobody has ever questioned them since Zortidoff but why should they be greater than those of the Germans, who surpass Bussians—by the admission of the latter—in ererv department of the oiyil life or than those of "Austrian" Boldiers, two-thirds of whom are as Slav as the Russians ihemselveef
On the subject of commanders the article says: Of the great generals, none are visible in Russia, or can be visible, for the imperial hoQse must stand alone, and no absolute coart can got rid of favoritism and the minor generals will not by any rule of nature be betthan those opposed to them.
On the other hand, it iB pointed out, stands— The coaleboed strength of Central Europe, with its millions of drilled men'actually present in barracks, commanded by generals of whom some at least have no rivals, and armed with what we fear will prove the moat destructive implement of war yet plaoed'ln soldiers'hands' It is the rifle, not tie cannon, which kills thousands, and the power of the rifle since the last war has at least been triple !. Attacking Germany and Austria so armrd may prove to be an effort, even with the assistance of France, beyond tLs power of Russia.
The article concludes with the following: Russia enn bear dafeat better than any powor ir. existence, for the true souroes of her strength are an assailable bat that is not true of the government which alons makes her so completely a military power. A great defeat youlu compel Bnssia to remodel her institntinn?, and a remodeled Russia would be a power with new aims, new alliances, aad probably anew destiny.
Judge Cooley regards the interstate commerce eommissionersitip as a stepping stone to a ohief justiceship or the presidency.

Richard Townshend, oi the 8haw neetown (111.) district, during a short stay here tOrday, and then he observed: "Mr. Cox, of New York, is probably most prominently mentioned for chairman of the ways and means committee, and that appointment will give him the leadership for which fe is emiuentl fitted. He understands the tariff question thoroughly, and his long service ir congress makes him r'ainly available. I consider the inter-state commission bill, as passed, a wise and excellent measure, and one that will be of great benefit both to the railroads and the people. Of course, much will derend on the way it is enforced by the commis-sion, but the president's appointments in this regard have struck the p?ople favorably, and they are regarded .a conservative and fair."

MARVELOUSCHANGS5
Whattbe Fotnro Will be to TISM whs Refuse to Believe. Is this country unconsciously undergo ing a wonderful change, is the change to take place before we are aware of the fnc!, and when it has taken place will we wonder why we did not see it before it was too late?
Those that see the changes early avail themselves early, and thereby receive benefit.
The shrewd iron man sees the iron interest transferred from Pittsburg and Pennsylvania to Birmingham, Alabama, and in his far-sightedness sees the fur•aces in Pennsylvania torn down and de serted for this new and prolific field. It is claimed by the ir*n men of Alabama that the low price at which iron can be produced there will revolutionise the iron interests of the world.
We have seen the grain-growing centers of this country shifted to the .'est. We have seen the pork-packing industry flit from Cincinnati to Chicago, and from thence to Kansas City and Omaha. Southern eotton mills undersell 'cw England and American market--, and challenge the world.
We have seen and are seeing all this take plaee before our eyts, and know that pother changes are taking place equally as prominent, and we wonder as we behold them. Ten years ago the in surance companies only required an analysis of the fluids when they were taking insurance for very large amounts. To-day no firat-clsss company will insure any amount unless they have a rigid anelyeis of the flnids passed, and if any traces of certain disorders are apparent, the application is rejected. In their reports they show that the death of sixty of every 100 people in this country, isdae either directly or indirectly to such disorder. The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, London," England, reports that sixty of every 100 victims of consumption also have serious disorders of the kidneys.
Among scientists for the treatment of this dread malady the question is being discussed "Is not this disorder the real cause of consumption
Ten years ago the microscope was something Beldom found in a physician's office now every physician of standing has one, and seldom visits his patients withoutcaliing for a sample ef fluids for examination.
W hv is all this Is it possible that we of the present generation-are to die of diseases caused by kidney disorders, or shall we master the cause by Warner's safe cure, the only recognised specific, and thus remove tbe effects? All dealers keep it. It is within the reach of all. It is established beyond a doubt that a very large percentage of deaths in this country are^traceable to[diseased kidneys. For years the- proprietors of Warner's safe cure have been insisting that there is no sound health when the kidneys are diseased, and they enthusiastically prtss their specifie for this terrible disorder upon public attention. We are continually hearing its p:aises sounded.
This means wenders! Cannot the proprietors of this great remedy, who have been warning us of the danger, tell us how to avoid a disease that is at first so unimportant, and is so fatal in its termination* Are we to hope against hope, and wait without 'our reward.
The raost significant of a'l changes, however, that we of to-day can note in this radical change of view to which the public has been educated: It was formerly thought tbat the kidneys weie of very small importance to day,we believe it is generally admitted that there can be no such thing as sound health in any organ if they are in the least degree deranged.
AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
A Notorious Burglar and $300,000 Worth of Securities Captured In York,
NEW YORK, April 2 —John Talbot, one of the most dangerous and notorious burglars in the country, was arrested early yesterday morning by Central office detectives on a charge of being implicated in numerous robberies which have been committed in different parts of the United Sutes and Canada during the p.ist year, the principal one being the robbery from Miller 4 Co's safe several weeks ago, at Philadelphia, of $400 in cash and 309,000 in bonds and securities among which were first-mortgage bonds of the New York Central railroad, bonds the Reading, the Pennsylvania and other roads. At 5 o'clock in the morning Detectives Hansen and King learned (hat Talbot was hiding at 163 East Onehundred, and fifty-third street. The officers forced an entrance into the house, and ascending to the second floor they found their roan in bed. When the detectives entered the room, Talbot seised a revolver that lay by his sideband attempted to shoot, but was dissrmed, handcuffed and drivtn iu a cosch to polic* headquarters. The $300,000 wor'h of bonds were fonnd in a trunk under Talbot's bed. Although they were perfectly good, the prisoner said he would gladly have taken $10,000 in money for them. Talbot had a hearing this afternoon and was remanded to await the arrival of Philadelphia officers

General Harrison's friends say he is not out of politics, notwithstanding his recent defeat for the senatorehip. He will be a candidate for the presidency in 1888, and the Indiana delegation will enter the next convention solidly in his favor."

Excitement at Portland.
PORTLAND, Ind., April 2.—Seal estate is at a fever heat here. The sales yesterday amounted to $100,000.
There are said to be 09,000 opium eaten in the United States.
It is stated that the popularity of General Bonlaager is due to th* fact tbat be has restored the use of epaulettes in the French army, which were abolished in 1884 It has beeome sustosiary to credit women, exclusively, with a love for gay colors and fine raiment. The male of the human rpeeies has many traits and instincts in common with the same sex in the lower orders. Of these are noticesable, courage and strength superior to tbat of his weaker mate. In the lower orders, also, nature has been more lavish in the bestowal of gifts to thess that add to grace and beauty. The fessale in all species of birds is lees brilliant in plumage and, in many iastancee is devoid of ciest and other decorations that diversify the attractions of its mate. Compared to the lion with his splendid head and mane, the lioness is a plain and ordinary beast. Naturalists tell as that wherever nature has bestowed these marks of especial favor upon the males among birda and animals they, are highly appreciated. The pheasant and pea fowl strut and preen themselves in undisguised vanity, and all the others pose and promenade to show their best points to an advantage. There is no doubt that in men there is the same regard for appearance, and it is is interesting to study that evolution which has progressed through ancient Oriental splendors, the elaborate and gorgeous costuming of the medieval period, to the hideous hifur cated garment, silk hat and Prince
Albert coat of the present. The perfect man, now-a days, is not lees dimly defined in the winged and crawling monsters of the Pliocene period, than are these hideous garments in the apparel of King Soloman. It seems incredible that a race that once appropriated silken trunks and hose, and doublets of velvet, lace ruffles and jeweled buckles should have voluntarily relinquished them for the swallow-tail coat and its accessories. But the love for plumes and silken sashes and gay colors has not been extinguished it still burns warmly iu the masculine bosom and is the true and real reason for the existence and increase of secret sooietiee from whioh women aro excluded. The/ are given the drawing roocs in which to display their brilliant toilets, while their better halves revel in like enjoymebt within ths secret and sscred confines of the lode room. On rare occasions, wKeu a brother dies, or an anniverssry is to be celebrated, they show themselves in public, and men who, in their ordinary pursuits, are plain and unpretentious, step along
Tht same is inie of dressmakers, in en a greater degree. Like men in busi ness they are obliged to pay employe*, and to ask credit of the merchants. Every Saturday evening tbpir girls ex pect th^'ir wages, and few like 10 have their bills remain unsettled longer than the end of the nonth Yet, wealthy women will order perhaps three and four dresses, sending them back repeatedly and refusing to accept them until every fold and loop and button has been put in place with mathematical precision. They know tr-.eir own importance and take a very mean and contemptible advantage of their position as a customer who is able to pay. The dressmaker pressed for money, needing it for a hundred things, dares no', insist upon prompt settlement ltst she lose their custom.
A good many women of this sort would be greatly shocked if they were charged with dishonesty, some even pride themselves on their ptety, find arc prominent in all manner by philanthropic benevolent and religious work. They should remember that charity begins at home, and cannot be m«nifeeted in a more practical way than is the immediate payment of working women, whose earnings, at beet, sre small, in oomparison to the amonct and quality of work exacted. It stay be taken for granted that every woman who' works for money, does so because she and her family seed her earnings, which are either their fole dependence or supplement the insufficient income of the busbard an I father
The practice is sll the more reprehensible because tbe prompt payment of their bills involves, to the rich, no curtai'ment of the comforts aad necessaries of life. It means only a little deprivation in the matter of ribbons aad flowers, and the neglect is unpardonable as well as unfeeling

premely conscious of the feathered chapeau, the glittering belt, the effect of which he observes out of the corners of his eyes. It is not the viriues of charity and brotherly love that hold these or ganisotions together it is because they furnish an outlet for that love for finery which still exists in the masculine soul.
Were Odd Fellows, Masons, Red Men, Knights of Pythias and all the' rest of them, stripped of their insigna, and sent to celebrations and funerals like common mourners, without any distinguishing feature in their dress, they would, like the grass of the field, dry up and wither.
Women of abundant means, through thoughtlessness or selfishness, are sometimes guilty GI of a practio? that occasions much inconvenience, if not suffering, to other womea who are in all particulars worthy of better treatment. I refer to dressmakers and washwomen, who invariably depend upon their earnings to provide for their families, and who, above all other people, 6houid be paid promptly. I have known instances where the wash has been sent home, done faultlessly, and the laundress, who, perhaps, needed the money for the actual necessaries of life, to bay bread with, or fuel, has gone away empty handed. The money due her had been cquandered for some trifle, and in the selfish indulgence ot a whim, hrr employer bad been crue'lv unjast.

Mr, Cornelias TanderblltW Generosity to the Martens Family. Mew York Morning Journal.
The fashion is growing very fast ot rich people having private entertainments furnished by well known artists at their houses. The fashion has perhaps not been accepted by those who consider themselves the moet exclusive, but as it is a familiar cuBtom in England among the higher circlee, it can safely be don? here even by those who arrogate to themselves the poeseesion of the bluest possible blood.
At any rate, among others the Vanderbilts are exceedingly fond of these lit le entertainments, which they not only appear to enjoy, but for which they are very generous as well. As an instance: A touple of weeks ago the Marteus family were requested to go to the mansion of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt one evening and appear befor a select company in their songs and specialties They were told that thev wottld have to work but for a half honr, for which they would get $250- by no means a poor price, considering their regular tariff for appearing at theaters.
However, it turned out when they were there that they pleased the cotr pany assembled so much that they were kep' singing continuously to encores for neatly two hours. They were treated very hospitably, however, Being taken through tbe rooms by Mr. Vanderbilt himself and introduced to a number of those presen As they left Mr. Martens felt a check slipped into hie hand by Mr. Vanderbilt. When he got home he examined its denomination, and found that it wss for $«00.
AMERICAN COOKS
TsUng tbe Places Formerly Held by the Frsaeli. In the way of native industries that flouish without protection, says the Philadelphia Times, there are the constantly increasing number of Americans who have turned their attention to the art of oooking. Some few years ago the managers of nearly every leading hotel in the country ccnsidered it part of their duty to have a forei'ner with rn unpro. nounceable name in charge of the heated rooa 8 from which is-med the dishes poncocted to tempt en's ap petite Usually the individual was a Frenchman with but little wer to oxpress himself in our ehruele" lsnsjuap". although an Italian was ncosiooally found with talent enough for 'h- place. But the order of procedtve is clanging In Boston Yankee ingenuity is taking the place of French afei'l, a'.d Chicago and Cincinnati native ho \meric^ns have charge of the holei kitchei Diey are no less capable in a'l that 'he word implies, and in many caivs they 3re fourd to be more hoorat.

STERLING, III., August 22, 1886. We feel we must write something of the success of Hop Bitters. Their sale is thribble that of any other article of medicine. Hence we feel it but justios to you and your Bitters to say that it ia a medicine of real merit and virtue, and doing much good and effecting great cures. Yours, J. F. A H. B. UTLWT.
HAYWVILLI, OHIO, Feb. 11, 1884. I am very glsd to say I have tried Hop Bitters, and never took anything that did me as much good. I only toek two bottles and I would not take $10t for the good they did me. I recommend them to my patients, and get the best of results from their use.

KALAMABOO, Mich., Feb. 2,1888. Ho* BITTERS MFG Co: I know Hop Bitters will bear recommendation honestlv. All who use them confer upon them toe highest encomiums and give them credit for making cares—all the proprietors claim for them. I have kept them since they were first offered to the public. They took high rank fron the first, and maintained it, and are more called for than all others combined. Bo long as they keep up their high reputation for purity and'usefulness I shall continue to recommend them—-something I have never done before with any patent medicine. J. J. BABOOCX,
