Tho high license idea grows more aud more popular. Pennsylvania has just adopted it, believing that if an evil cannot be eradicated, it may b? controlled, and that if tho whole losf cannot be obtained, uine-tenths of it aro not to be despised.
In some ways the power of tho rresi Bhows up convincingly, and, ia other instances, there appears to be nothing in it. The slight effect the persistent savage attacks of the Tory press upon Parnell shows that man can etatid a good deal of vilification end live.
Preachers, as a general thing, are paid starvation wages. A St. Paul divine undertook to piece out an inadequate snlsry by turning the ve3try room of his church into rfal sj'ate office, nnd was imiri-dialely ordt rod to resign. His people wculdn't stay him, and wouldn't let him psy himst'f.
Thft assistant rector of i-.o richest Episcopal Chnrco iu Chicago recently became insane from want std starvation. The rrctor w«g away on a vacation, having a E'.cd timo, snd the congregation were not paying the supply preacher enough to live upon. Modern Chsistian-! ity runs largely to church decoration, paid choirs and stiined glass, and hundreds of pretcbere in the country are made to pay for these ou'.ward manifestations of inward spiritual pracc. The laborer is quite ts worthy of his hire, in the present age, as he was ,ia tlis daj3 when this truth was first promulgated.
The lecture of Colonel Thompson on Lincoln was an sddross that will be long remembered. To have heard it was a privilege, and to have missed it was an irreparable loss, from a literary point of view, it had the finish, the fiae qualities the literature of their country, with the
literature. Much of the matter was wholly new, which seems almort incredible in view of all that has been said and written upon the subject. The personal nature of many of the incidents related give them a freshness and interest that the ordinary eulogy or biography do not poeaess, and that portion of it relating to the war was incomparably superior to that which is now filling all the leading magazines.
"Pagan Boh" Iogerecll made the mistake of his life when he quit the lecture platform and took up the profession of corporation lawyer. As a lecturer he held undisputed possession of the plat, form and instead of advene courts and an array of opposing attornies a sympa' thetic audience listened to his beautiful phrases. At the box office he always found a satchel filled with money. Oa $1-5,000 a year, he was jovial even tempered and could afford to be virtuous. He was happy and he made his heme a happy one anol we beard much that stemed to bear out the truth of his doctrines as applied to himself. But cow, that he is in among railroad wrtckerp, affidavits are flying around, tending to show that be does dishonorable things, and that, in fact, he is no better thaB a Christian.
Jr. McGlynn has been fcrmally excommunicated. He will probably go about as usual, eating, drinking, sleep' iug, attending to his duties with the ease and enjoyment of a healthy msn who is troubled by no qualms of conscience. Excommunication is not what it was 300 yesrs ago, when kings guarded their coasis and frontiers to prevent the arrival of the pope's legate with the terrible decree that separated him from his race, and doomed him to a living death. The world has advanced considerably beyond th8 tyranny of feudalism, in church and state. And the grasp of the succeisor of St. Petejr upon the keyawf .heaven, grows more and more relaxed. Dr. McGlynn will live his allotted time, and go to heaven when he dies, if he behaves himself precisely as if he had never been exconoonunicated.
Real distinguished American citizens must go from home to be properly ap predated. There are persons in the United States who 'aave steadfastly refused to believe that William Cody is as great a m»n ns Edwin Booth or Allan Thorndykes Eice. They will now admit the error of their opinion, and even acknowledge the Wild West as the greateat nUow on earth, Mr. Barntjm to the cor'?ary nytwithstanding. And why? All because Buffalo Bill has been or deied to appear at Windsor with hisponiei and Indians, and give an exhibition especially for the quten. The royal car rinrrcs drove up to the arena at 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon and the cable in formed us that the queen was accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenburg. She was attended by iho Dowager Duchess of Alhole, lady in waiting acd Miss Cadcgan, maid of Tcnor.

A country town has its decided a var.??iges and its equal disadvantages. There is a degree of enjoyment to ba obtained from social life that is denied residents of the city, who either cannot afford it, or when he can, finds it so mixed with conventionality, that its real spirit has evaporated. There are kindliness and helpfulness that spring from personal knowledge and personal interest. The prtcocio'S fcoy is stimulated to make the most of himself by hia fellow-towns, men who taka a sincere interest in his efforts. The ambitious girl has equal recognition, but the aid must end then, since opportunities cannot be supplied, or afield created in which ability can be fully called into action. Distinguished men and women, village born and bred, have speDt their boyhood and irihood there, but were finally forced into cities, where they have the whoifFome discipline and incentive that come from shp.rp competition. In the city the promising yoiiDg man, no longer backed by admirers ami friends who praise not wisely but too numb, h'.s a-', opportunity ti measure hihiselt by hia equals, and to iearn frcm his superiors. He is not tempted to be content with do ing nsso'.'.ibly well, to adopt a lower etandard, or to relinquish his ambitioi satisfied with commonplace rewards There is not a town in the country that cannot furni«h examples of nun who have sunk into obscuiity where they might have risen to eminence, had they taken themselves away from where email ttiumphs wfcre e?silv achieved to other spheres in which greater success might have been won, with the greater exertion which the city life enjoins. There are .uen who are influential in village politics, who should represent the state men who read papers before gentlemen's clubs who might have been capable of making lasting contributions to

Sharp conflict, the healthful effects of occasional failure, disappointment and sharp criticism are necessary to strengthen mind and character, and these are to be best experienced among those who seek their fortunes in cities.

To the Editor of the Express:
8IB—Can it be possible that either political party can afford to carry out tho wishes of tho kickersf Are he kickers working for the best interest of the city Do they clf.im to or ganizd a more thorough and competent polico force'andfire department than the present ones? How does their names appear upon the taxlist of the treasurer's docket compared with the cit— iiens who are not in favor oI 11 change? What do they want in the way of a chanqef The Democrats to go or do they want fail control of both departmentsf They claim the system to be a monopoly. Is it true? Is i? oensideied so by fair- minded people, who really have something at stake? How about their olaim of having the political away of the city within their erasp? And if so, how about the oit's fataref Is not this kicking an insalt to the men w' deemed it wise in making laws, in administering what they considered right, a duty they owed their eonstitnents when the present system was constructed? 0f the two classes judge for yourself and now, to the fair-minded, upright and good people of our beautiful growing city, I wish to say a few words: l'he departments ift question have made as good a showing since their organization as any in the country. Boports from different cities will prove this. I: was understood when the change was made that it was for the better, an that it should remain so for all time to come. The city has grown to snch a size of late years that the most compe ant and experienced men should be employed to till these positions, regardless of politios, ar.d it is to be regretted that tho whole Bystem, including the leads of both departments, Were not di vided in such a manner as to be entirely free from politics. The sooner this is done, the better. And then this wrangling after each May election would be done away with. As one who is tired and sick of this dissatisfaction, year after year, I would like to see the council, at their next meeting, arrange this matter according to their own judgment, and for the best interests of all concerned. Kiokers will then pass into oblivion Hoping that this mattfr may bj freely and openly discussed by our leading oitizens, and pnt before the new council in propershape, I remain,

Courier-Journal. The president, as was to have been expected, has selected an eastern man as treasurer of the United States to succeed Mr. Jordan. Mr. Hyatt is at least a Democrat. But the administration seems incapable of any fiscal policy not taken from the East, and is wholly unconscious of "the existence of an empire this side of the Alleghenies.

He will find that the bnffalo, albeit a likely beast, doos not browse on the outskirts of Chicago, uor the noble red-mKU conduct all of the cigar stands in St. Pan!.

FAIRY GINGERBREAD.
Far away where the wooden nutmeg grows And the pumpkin-peach ia oaoned, Where the brow of the saw-dust ginger
By the salt sea-breesj is fanned Far away, far away where the door-knob sgg And the poplar ham are sold. There dwelt a lady and danghter, both Ii 80 gladsome, so gay and bold.
Far away, far away to the rolling west A beautiful maiden dwelt, Her first came "Sarah," her other one »v
With several letters spelt, She was fair as a dream of summer-morn,' And as geod as she was fair, In the whole wide world no other maid
With this maid conld compare,
"What shall we send her?" the mother asked, Nor silk nor gold nor gem, Wonid prove cur love, and then besides,
She wonld have no use for them For of gold she has enough, in sooth, And silk wears every day, And diamonds she to the grocery man
And hired girl givea away. 1
For pictures, and china and bric-a-brac She likewise has no need, We'send her a book, but then, alas!
We know that she canaot read. "O, mother, mother!" in eager tones, The joyous danghter said, "I know what will pleas9 her the bast of all,
Sand Fairy gingerbread."
So eggs and sugar and other things, They mix, they mould, they bake, And the rushing trein bore from that town
A fiae, large box of cake. And when it came the western maid Asked: "What is this, I pray?" She opened the box and gasped for breath,
And then she swooned away.
She swormed, she gurgled, she lay like death, And all in pure surprise, Then murmured, sheddir two happy tears,
As she opened ber lovely eyes, 'Tis cake—of the kind that I love best, I will only eat a part, And send tho rest to tha loved at home,
Who share my inmost heart."
She took the cake to her glittering room, IBnt she nibbled it morn and night Until, alas, aud fie for shame,
The last orumb vanished quite. "What shall I do? O woe is me!" Sho wept in deep remorse, And pined and pined until, at last,
She was a cold, cold corse.
•AFTER BREAKFAST CHAT.
The huge and boisterous Walter Savpg3 Landor was a genuine lover of flowers. He threw the cook out of tbe window, iu one of his characteristic fits of a sudden rage, and then exclaimed remorsefully. "Good God, I forgot the violets."
He has spoken of hew flowers are to be found, year after year, springing up in '.he old familiar places, the primrose in the shadow of the hedges and hyacinths in the haunts that they love. This is why it givf one precisely the p.ame fealtliat he experiences when be suddenly coioes upon a familiar iace ill the* crowded streets of a city, to find plants and trees growing in places whol.'y unlike those To which they are indigenous.

The tensciou3 roots of the old-fash-ioned flowera have fixed themselves more Grm'7 in their native soil than the roots ^beeu in the babit
of th fsinily tree. While children and grandchildren are scattered far and wide, seeking their fortunes in remote coun trie', or have, cessed wholly from their labors, these stiil spring up, year after year, thriving in the rains of April, glittering with the dew of midsummer nights, fiding, wilting with the first ftosis ar.d waiting their perrenial resurrection, under ihe sheltering protec tion of the »inter snow.

The assurance of the professional reformer is peculiar, if not refreshing. He think? that tJiere is nothing that may not be effected by "agnation." It is true tLst. tiiis very self confidence, zeal and enthupiRsm have carried jaauy a forlorn hope to gloricus realization. Yet, "to the r.pathsUc icoker-on, it becomes bore when it is not amusing.

Several years 3so I made a journey with a lady who hsd been conducting a series of temperance meetings in a western city. She was as elcqusnt off the rostrum as she was on it, and was voluble upon the subject cf her labors. In the course of the conversation we discussed tbe approaching marriage cf the daughter of a VV. C. T. U. president with a man cf hopelessly intemperate habits. I happened to know him personally acd spoke of bis intelligence, his refinement and cultivation, and regretted that co many good qualities should have been made u^eleea bv his one vice. Mrs. X.

I have since thought what afield snch a suggestion might open np. Think what an effect the preacher might produce upon the minds of his congregation, intensifying any possible mental picture of an nndesinble hereafter, by the means of "charts." The evil effects of gambling might have been demonstrated in the same way, and the thoughtless faro man "brought to a realising sense of his nnworthioess."
"A snail's pace need not be used any longer as a- term more or less indefinite. By an interesting experiment at the Polytechnic the other day, it was ascertained exactly, and reduced to figures which may now be quoted by persons who favor the use of exact terms. A half dozen of tbe mollnsks were permitted to crawl between two points, ten feet apart, and the average pace was aacertsined. From this it was easy enough to calculate that one snail can crawl a mile in just fourteen daya.
AN EVENING PBOMISK.
Along the grey horison's rim, There shines a glimmering line of gold, The sanset's tardy spleadors dim,
The mountain's farthest summit folds. 4 The rain h«s fallen all day long,
Like the slow drops of filial tears, But now the robin's vesper song The deap'ning dusk of «v nii cheers.
In tbe dull east, where, hanging law, The sullen rifts r^fn^e to break, The pallid clonds shall blush and glow
When the triumphant mom shall wake.
It shall bestow what Night denies— All that theeerth has nsktd in vain: Songs and sunshine aud tranquil skies,
Scents of blossoms born of rain.
And, like the faint, prophetio gleam, Whioh brightens all tbe dark'ntng West, I dimly see, as iu a dream,
The years' sweet recompense and rest.
Patienoe, O Heart! Though they oppress The burdens of the present bear. For, crowned with jova that yet shall bless,
The promised Fatnre wants somewhere.

ROCHE'S WORK.
Ha la Cleansing Chicago's Slams, and Enforcing the Law.
CHICAGO,
May
14—It
impression in saloon circles that the city authorities are determined to enforce the ordinances relative to closing the barrooms at midnight. In Captain Buckley's district, which embraces that sec fion of Chicago known as the "Levee," there have scarcely been any disturbances $ince Mayor Roche took the reins of office. Yesterday a warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Jacob Miller, a aaloonkeeper at No.
2700
It is estimated that the effect of Mayor Roche's order will be io cut eff at least 100 saloons. May 1 3,800 were running usder license. Between Van Buren street end th« ii7er there were 480 saloons and thirty of these have been closed. Not only is there a decrease in tbe number of saloons, but there has been a msrlied falling off in the receipts over the bar. Capt. Hubbard, of the Central detail, thinks ibia shrinkage will lie 25 per cent. In explaining this the captain said: "Dissolute people who spent money freely aro kept out and many others who were good customers av afraid logo in. The 12 o'clock rule is clearing the streets at night, and the Bioney usually speat after that hour is tatan'home. If the gambling houses ate all closed up the salooa keepers will have anotho? heavy loss, RB "a large prccentags oflbeir night trade comes from these plats a."
In speaking of the purification of the Levea an officer eaid that, the ends of justice sometimes demand that certain disreputable resorts be permitted to exist under police supervision. When a known thief, "flush" with "stuff" from his IatB3t "job." turns np at any of these pkces, or a young girl on the threshold of a life of shame, word is quietly sent to the nearest station, and a crock is captured or a young girl saved. There are several of these houses in the Levee district, and they will probably be let alone. Meantime an effort io break up street- walking will be made, and disreputable houses kept cut of respectable neighborhoods, where many of them have bf en started.
The Chicago Liquor Dealers' Protective association is making no effort to help the dive-keepers. As a rule, the blacklisted /el-ows are not members of the association, and the men who are members say they are glad of the cleaning out of the doggeries. The association has of expelling members
who have been classed as dive keepeis. Wednesday there was a meeting of the District Liquor Dealers' Protective association, within Cook county, at Randolph and La Salle streets, and during the session a committee from the blacklisted saloonkeepers waited upon the bod They contemplated, they said, a against the city for existence, and begged the r.esociation to lend them moral support and substantial aid. "If you run 'dives,' as alleged by the authoritie.*," said a member of the association to the committee, "the sooner jou are closed up the better. This association will not recognize your claims upon it for support. It is such men as you who bring reproach upon the liquor business, and the sooner you make yourself conspicuous by your absence in this room, the better." That settled it.

A cripple waa released from jail custody the other day. He had served a sentence on a charge of drunkenness. The next day he waa in Police conrt oa the same charge. After his release he had, within a short time, become intoxicated and waa taken into custody. Justice Wildy aaees.ed a fine of 96 and costs against O Brien and sent him to jail. There are number of habitual drunkards who are very often arrested and locked up. Some of them spend about half their time in jail. The aMeasment of heavy fines does not seem to have any effect, for upon being released from enstody another drunc is indulged in. Soma time since, Judge Mack issued an order to saloonkeepers to quit the practice of. selling liquors to habitual drinkers. The instructions were accompanied by a threat that unless they were complied with the salocnists would get into serious trouble. The instructions seemed to have some effect at the time, but they have been forgotten and numerous eases of drunkenness come up in Police court •gainst habitual drunkards. HV*^I--

The residents of the Sixtb ward are more desirous than ever of securing a line of railway. They secured an order of the council to tho effect that the Street Railway company should build a line on Poplar street to Thirteenth. Thus far no attention has been paid to the irder. Thn residents of that par' of town will probably offer the company some inducements to build the extensions. They say if Collett park has secured a line the Sixth ward should be able to have an extension also.
