MISSIONARIES IN POLITICS

Vhat an Er-Ministcrof State for Hawaii Says About the Killers of the Island, Fmciers ca Sunday and Politicians and Cabinet Officers on Week D3)s Mr. Wilcox's Revolution and How It Terminated. Staff CorTesrondT.r of t7 TruTianaDOliS Journal. Washington, April 11. There are few osm kmIIiJ. t - Lava in Wa 0T1 ? n trtnn than Mr. Celso . Ciesar Moreno, a distingnif hea Italian soldier, and whilom Minister of State for Hawaii. For many years Mr. Moreno ras King Kalakua's most trusted and intimate friend, but some years ago there was a revolt which resulted in the overthrow of the Moreno rale and the subsequent hasty departure of Mr. Moreno. He liasneVer quite given up the hope of setting back to Hawaii, and while hero is incidentally trying to collect $45,000 which he claims the government owes him. - Several little revolutions in which he baa had more or less interest have failed, and up to to-day the missionaries who were sent there to Christianize the people, but are now. running the politics of the place, W A nave Kept on top. iney are in supreme control, and it is against them that Mr. Moreno's efforts are primarily directed. with his friends in Hawaii. At the head of the opposition is Robert Wilcox, a native . Hawaiian, -ho has been thoroaghly educated abroad. One of Mr. . "Wilcox's first acts when he returned home, some six months ago, was to start up an armed revolution against the missionary rule, but the Christian missionaries whipped him, and he had an exceedingly close call for his life. He was conueznnea xo aeain. DDL public sentiment; proved too strong, and whilo the missionaries were putting up the gallows lor Mr. Wilcox he was elected by an overwhelming Tote to represent a district in the native Parliament, which meets next May. The Ministry very wisely bowed to public 6enT T m a n t " TTn er T f n re s vapa ?alrsn f3sri - mw mm- - w i 0 a w a AW - ft and Mr. Wilcox will go to the Legislature, there to make life a burden to the Ministry. There have been some interesting letters passing between Wilcox, who is now in Hawaii, and Moreno, who is still here in Washington. These extracts from the last one sent by Moreno to Wilcox are the most interesting because they contain the entire , programmer "My Dear Mr. Wilcox Your letters of the 14th of February and of the 14th of March are at hand and the contents read and digested. 1 am of the opinion and warmly desire' that you should be a Cabinet minister, with the firm resolution to entirely deliver your country and countrymen from the grasp of the greedy aud unscrupulous missionaries and their accomplices, who conjointly ' preach in their churches on Sunday and do all kinds of worldly tricks and traftio in their shops , through the week and meddle with politicsall the year round; beside they monopolize the commerce, the finances, all the government -offices, -the justices, the police, and have grabbed all the best land of the kingdom. The missionary fraternity in Hawaii is a calamity wone than leprosy for the Hawaiians. My fervid wishes are for your success; but 1 fear that you and your native colleagues will fail in the end. The missionaries and their confederates are too deep, too acute, too intriguing, and too able -for you and all your native Hawaiians to successfully contend with them. You Hawaiians are too good-natured, too honest, and too generous; the sentiment prevails over reason, interest and everything else, while in the missionaries, your antagonists, interest and greediness reign supreme. Next May, when" the Hawaiian Parliament meets, yon. yourself, must without delay and without reserve make a motion of want of confidence in the present missionary Ministry, followed by another for tho impeachment of the ministers. Chief of Justice Judd and Kev. Carter, minister of Hawaii to Washington, for having- betrayed the confidence of the Hawaiian King and people in framing and proposing a treaty, in lbc'J, to the American government for the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States. Minister H. A. P. Carter Is the publio laughing stock in Washington, and his principal aim in the above-mentioned treaty of annexation, was to become himself, and his brother-in-law. Judd, both Senators tq the United States Senate in Washington from the State of Hawaii, and he (Carter) and his missionary wife are for several' years uoasunz or u. i nave good reasons to believe that President Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine not only did not give any encouragement to Minister Carter in his annexation scheme against the will of the Hawaiian King and people, but they and their party will prevent any other nation, as it was done in Samoa, to tako possession of the Hawaiian islands. Therefore Hawaiianindependenceand neutrality are assureu lor the present, much against the will of the missionary ring in Hawaii." The letter concludes with some recommendations as to the other members of the - u' nuu aia uirrcicu Bimpiy iu compass a peaceful overthrow of the present missionary Ministry by the perfectly legitimate means: that of a vote of "lack of confidence." This government cannot, of course, interfere, but if it should ever occur to Mr. Moreno or his friends to organize an armed force, or in any way form plans looking to the disturbance of .the peace of Hawaii, the State Department will interfere in the most decisive manner. Meantime it will be of interest to wait for the proceedings of the next session of the Hawaiian Parliament. With singular and significant regularity it has been the custom of the two houses of Congress to divide upon important issues that fa, the Senate Is far away from the noitiou of the House, and vice versa. If the House decides to appropriate a certain sum of money for a stipulated purpose the Senate is sure to fix another amount. If the Senate concludes to declare a forfeiture f a. eartain number of nrre f - - - - V4 taiuuuu land, the House, with strict regularity, fixes the figures differently. If the Hoika provides for the construction of a certain number of war-ships or cruisers, the Senate is snre to decide that the number shall b difiereut. When the Senate, the other day, passed the dependent pension bill, fixing the pensions nt $12 a month, the House said it should be $3. When the House committee adopted a speci f:c food adulteration bill, tho Senate committee reTmrted a measure of general character. When the Senate committee on Indian affairs made certain stipulation by which tribes of Indians were to yield np their reservations for public settlement, the Home committee fixea different terms, and Terms very materially ditlerent. So it goes. The two houses come together nnd make an agreement only after negotiations and piany sacrifices. The Senate generally has its own way, however. .eminent were there so many conflicting in4Tatfe l.fn.. f ITM iv.vma vhujd wumjicsi as now. mere is scarcely a general subject pending which has not two strong sides and two formidable factions fighting for and against it. A member of Congress is nowadays constantly between two fires. He is suro- to be enrsed if he supports a measure, and damned if he does not. It is not the tarming interests against tho city and corporation Interests alone that . brings about these conflicts. The farmers are divided when they attempt to stand for or against a measure, and there is scarcely a ward-in any city of the United States where a great majority favor or oppoeo a measure of general interest. Promlneutmen in Congress representing all parties are wondering what this all means. Most of them conclude it is the outcropping of a stringent money market and a plut in the xaaxkeU for farm products; conflicting in.

terests and divisions among laborers; the split on the t a rill and internal revenue, and a general contention over political economy. The circumstances all considered, it will bo a wouder if the work of this Congreaswill please tho majority of the people, for there is scarcely a State delegation hero there stand together. Even the two Senators from many States separate on questions, one voting for and the other against a measure. This is an "oil period," and surprises in elections are no more unusual than surprises in Congress. It seems to be a period when everybody is "going it upon his own hook.". Perry S. Heath. ASSAULT OX A SCHOOL-TEACHER.

Yonnff Woman Hobbed by a Tramp and Beaten and Cruelly Treated by Negroes. Ellsworth. Kan., April 12. Miss Myrtle Hill, teacher of a conntry school about eight miles from here, on the Union Pacific railroad, was assaulted, this morning, in a most brutal manner by one f white and two colored tramps. The assault occurred at a lonely spot on the road. , She was thrown to the ground and fearfully maltreated. Her assailants filled her mouth with acid 60 as to prevent her outcry. During the struggle with her assailants three of her ribs were . broken. When discovered she was in an unconscious condition, and it is feared that she may die. A searching party was made up as soon as the news of the assault became generally known. Hnndreds of men are now searching for the tramps, and if they are found they will be lynched. Another dispatch states that the assault upon Myrtle Hill was made in the schoolhouse by two negroes. Sho had been 4held up" just a few minutes before by a tramp, who had robbed her of her jewelry and a little money. When she arrived at the school-house she was attacked immediately upon opening the door. She was thrown to the floor, and her assailants forced her to take a large dose of belladonna. Her assailants then searched her and, chagrined in finding nothing of value about her, beat her cruelly, breaking several -of her ribs. The approach of two men alarmed the negroes and they tied. Thesearch for them is still in progress this evening. m Havoc Caused by a Runaway Engine, Terue Haute. Ind., April 12. At 8 o'clock this morning, a heavy Yandalia freight train, coming into the city, collided at the Third-street curve with an Evansille & Terre Haute engine pushing six freight and coal earn. The engineers and firemen jumped, with the exception of John Crosby, Yandalia engineer, who remained in the cab. and was terribly mangled. He cannot recover. His engine, under fall head of steam, broke loose from the train and pushed the E. & T. IL engine and cars at terrific speed through the city. No obstruction was met for threo-qnarters of a mile. ' The wild trains ran around the Y" into the Union Depot, where . a Terre Haute & Peoria passenger train was standing, ready to leave. The Evansville & Terre Haute engine collided with the passenger engine, and both were demolished. The coal cars were thrown through a portion of the depot and crashed through the walls of the waiting-room and ticket-office, partially wreck ing the Yandalia train-dispatcher's office, ou the second fioor. Ticket agent Bell had a narrow escape, as did many others about the station. , . Belt Road for New Albany. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Albany, Ind., April 12. At a special meeting of the City Council to-night an ordinance was passed granting to the New Albany Belt and Terminal railroad a right of way across certain described streets and alleys, and private property. The line will run from a junction with the 0. & M. railroad along the bank of the Ohio river to connect with the Air-line, afiording ample shipping facilities to all the large inannfactories of the city, and placing the Airline company in such a position thatit will bo enabled to cross its trains over the Indiana and Kentucky bridge, and rendering that property very valuable. The company having the grant is composed of leading capitalists of New Albany, and the work of laying the track will be commenced as soon as the preliminary surveys are made. Fatally Crushed by the Cars. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind.. April 12. Mrs. Jennie Pullen, wife of Will Pullen, a Central Iron ard Steel Company employe, was fataliiy crushed under the tender of a Chicago & Indiana coal-road engine, at the Mainstreet crossing, at 0:80 o'clock, this morning. She had driven to town, and was crossing the track. The buggy was demol ished and she was thrown nnder the tender. Both limbs were severed from the body and internal injuries were snstained. She is yet alive, but cannot survive. She is the mother of seven children, and an estimable lady. Her age was about thirty years. . r Bold Highway Robbery. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Albany, Ind., April 12. Mary and Georgia Briggs, two prominent young ladies, were assaulted and robbed in one of the principal thoroughfares of this city to-night. They were passing a pile of lumber when an unknown white man attacked them, grabbing the necklace and purse of the younger. He then turned to the older and relieved her of a fine gold watch and charm valued at about $100. The necklace was worth 25 and the purse contained about $20 in bills and adiamondring. After securing his booty the robber fled in the darkness. There is no clew. Fortune Smiles on a Blacksmith. WABA8H. Ind., April 12. Will Scott, of this citv, to-day received intelligence that an uncle in Los Angeles, Cal., nad died, leaving him and his two sisters his entire estate, valued at nearly $50,000. A few days ago information reached him that a great-uncle, who had retained possession of his father's property in Fort Wayne, and who recently sold the same, would settle in full with the heirs, and from that source he will secure $20,000, making all told about $40,000. Scott, who is a blacksmith, has knocked off, and is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his fortune. The Gas Problem at Crawfordsville. Spfclal to the Indianapolis Journal Crawfordsville, Ind., April 12. The People's Natural-gas Company, of this city, has leased twelve gas farms in Washington township, Hamilton county, where several wells will.be put down. The piping to this city will run along roads, and two plans are in view. . One is to corao by Lebanon, and make an ofi-shoot to Thorntown. The other is to pass about half-way between Lebanon and Thorntown, and make offshoots to both places. Short and Bloody Prize-Flght. SrniNGFiELD, 111., April 12. A short but desperate prize-fient took place nearthis city last night. The shippers were Martin Brophy, a local pugilist of some note, and Jimmy Bates, who came here a few days aero from California. Brophy had the best of the fight from tbe start and laid out his antagonist in the fifth round with a blow in the neck. Bates was brought back to town in an insensible condition, with blood running from his nose, mouth and ears. The fight lasted seventeen minutes. Shot at a Colored postal Clerk. Washington. April 12. Chief Postoffice Inspector Rathbone has received information of the arrest at McCool, Miss., of James Johnson, A. S. Roweli and Bob Bowie, charged with being concerned in the shoot.ing at Postal Clerk Blovins some weeks ago while on duty in his car. The orficers are in pursuit of Frank Scatborongh, who is said to' have been one of the party. Blevins is a colored man, and the attack upon him is believed to have been dne to this fact. : Village Clerk Short OO.OOO. Saratoga, April 12. The Board of Village Tmateea deposed Samuel F. Corey, who had served for seven or eight years as villago clerk, and have been investigating his accounts. It is now ascertained that there is a shortage of $0,000 in Corey'a otlice. The method used to raise money "by the clerk was to discount at a bank auditor's warrants which had been signed in blank by the auditors and then filled In by Corey as he pleased.

QUESTIONS FOR CHURCHES

United Presbyterians Who Refuse toTa- ' boo Tobacco Using Anions the Elders. Factions of the Evangelical Association Go Their Wajs In Peace Interstate 1". M. C. A. Conference Religions Matters. Fptcial to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomingtox, Ind., April 12. The Princeton Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church closed Its session at Somerville to-day. In addition to regular routine business, among the matters of importance was the. discussion and vote upon the propositions submitted to all the presbyteries of the church by the last General Assembly. On licensure of students the question was, shall Part I, Chapter 5, Section 2 of the Book of Government and Discipline be changed so that it it shall read: 'In ordinary cases no student of theology for licensure, until ho he has completed a course of theological study of two full years after the time of his admission by the presbytery, and produced testimonials of good conduct and proficiency in his studies, and shall be required to spend a third year at the seminary." Upon this, after a lengthy discussion, the presbytery voted, ten to one, in favor of the change. The second was upon the use of tobacco, in which it is proposed to add to the Book of Hulcs that no ono shall be elisible to tbe office ot ruling elder who is addicted to the use of tobacco in any form. This cansed a heated and long debate, but the vote was ten to one against the proposed change. There was little difference of opinion by the clergy about the evil of tobacco using by any one, especially by the pastors and elders, but such a rule, it was agreed, wonld make one standard of morals for church officers and another for private members. Neither would it give any option to presbyteries that alone recommended the fitness of students. It would also be dictating by specific rule and in a matter in which all members should bo governed by general principles. The German Evangelical Conferences. Chicago, April 12. There were no constables and no police at the sessions of tbe two rival claimants to the title of Illinois Conference of the German Evangelical Association this morning, and, from a militant stand-point, the proceedings were tame. . At the Sheffield-avenue Church tbe opponents of Bishop Esher fulminated-a mild manifesto to his followers. It ran as follows: v Bear Brethren Grace and peace to you. Inasmuch as, according: to our Discipline, the stationing committee has to assign preachers to their fields of labor, and cannot do this unless every minister makes known his intention, so that he will be assigned according to the directions of tbe Discipline, now, therefore, dear brethren, we entreat jou to make known to us your intentions by Monday morning. Contrariwise, we, as the Illinois Conference, will be obliged to consider you as standing iu . our conference connections -without appointment, and thus to carry your names on our record. The conference received no response to their message, and probably expected none. After considerable debate it was agreed that all those missionaries who seceded should be paid for their last year's work when they came and asked for their pay. At the Wisconsin-street Church Bishop Esher presided, and the morning session was devoted to routine business. The presiding elders' districts were increased from two to four, and W. Loessele and J. G. Kleinknecht elected elders. Six trustees of the general corporation were elected to fill the place of the seceders, as follows: G. Vetter, W. Schmus, F. Neitz, John Wellner and W. Freeden. Interstate Conference of Christian Students. Chicago, April 12. The Interstate Students' Conference of the Young Men's Christian Association, being held in the ladies' ordinary of the Southern Hotel, : will adjourn to-morrow night. The States of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio are represented, each State sending two or three delegates. In each of the colleges of these States are members of the Young Men's Christian Association. They compose what is known as college associations. The object of the conference is to take the students through a special course of instructions with reference to the association movement among the young men of the Western colleges. They are to act under the instructions of the State executive boards, and when qualified will be delegated to visit the dificrent college associations of their States. The instructors at the conference are C. K. Ober - and J. It. Mott, college secretaries of the international committee. Catholics Denounced by a Prohibitionist OswkGO, April 12. Dr. A. B. Leonard, who once ran on the Prohibition ticket for Governor of Ohio, addressed the missionary meeting of the Northern New York Conference last evening, and his remarks aronsed considerable enthusiasm. He denounced the attempts of tho Roman Catholic Church to control the politics of its members, and said that no member of that church could ever fill the presidential chair as long as it was known ' that the mouth nearest his ear would be that of the man on the Tiber. He vigorously attacked Mormonism and condemned the exclusion of Chinamen fr m this country. i .ii mm . i . a,i Favor of Revision. Atchison, Kan., April 12. The Highland Presbytery, which is composed of the Presbyterian churches in northwesteru Kansas, yesterday voted almost unanimously in favor of a revision of the Confession of Faith. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. It is tho intention of the Canadian government to provide that hereafter no salmon nets shall be used in Canada. The unusually mild winter and spring has considerably shortened the sugsr season in northern Vermont, and much less than the usual quantity of sugar and syrup is being made. Charles V. Byran. a Detroit grain-broker, was badly squeezed in the wheat corner. It is thought, however, he will be able to carry on his business. He is said to be "short" on two million bushels. Among the passengers on tbe steamer Eider, which left New York yesterday, was Hon. John Dillon, on his way from Australia in improved health, to resume his duties in the British House of Commons. Judge Barrett, of the New York Supreme Court, has appointed William H. . Baker permanent receiver of the Commercial Telegraph Company in sequestration proceedings by John W. Mackay. who has a judgment of $287,821 against the company. Mrs. C. Levering and her guest, Miss Hill, of Needmore, Pa., were driving south of Mansfield, O.. Friday evening; when the horse ran away, throwing both ladies out of the buggy. Miss Hill was instantly killed, and Mrs. Levering probably fatally injured. Petroleum has been discovered on the farm of Mrs. Chauncey Downe, at Richville, St, Lawrence county. New York. Lately it has appeared in increasing abundance on springs and streams there. The geological formation is the same as that of the Pennsylvania region, and every indication points to oil in paying Quantities. The postal employes at Belgrade, Servia, have gone on a strike against low wages, long hours and unjust treatment, and for several days past the mail system has been practically useless to tbe public. No mails are forwarded and those received remain in the post otlice awaiting the time when there shall be a sufficient force to distribute and deliver them. Three bodies were found in the Lachine caual, at Montreal, yesterday. One was that of Patrick Cahil, a well-to-do sodawater manufacturer of Point St. Charles, who disappeared on St Patrick's day; another was that of M. Jolly, who was lost three weeks ago, and the other that of an old man who has not yet been identified. A party of Australian laborers, employed on the Grant smelter, at Denver, Col, became involved in a row in a saloon near the works. They were driven from the saloon, and then wt-ut to a boarding-house. The quarrel wa.i renewed and ended in an allround fight, during which chairs, tables

and broken furniture were used. John Popperl received injuries on the headland will die. Several others were badly injured i - ABOUT ELEPHANTS.

Characteristics of .These Big Beasts Their Delicate Sense of Smell. IL IL F. Donne, In Xew York Mall and Express. Elephants are found in Africa and Asia, the African elephant being larger than the Indian species. In a stato of nature the elephant is not savage, but when molested becomes extremely formidable. They are. generally seen in herds of from thirty to fifty, or oven a hundred. When fodderis not plentiful they will divide into parties of from ten to twenty, taking care, however, to keep themself informed of each others' whereabouts, chieily by their fine sense of smell. So keen is this' sense that tame elephants can discover the presence of wild ones at a distance of three miles, when the wind is favorable. When a herd of elephants is moving along, the females with their calves always go first, and the herd is led by a female; the reason for this arrangement no doubt being that the mothers know best how to fit the length and time of their marches, and the places in which they, . rest or feed to the needs of their young ones. On their way from one tract of forest to another they march in Strict Indian file, in showery, cool weather being often on the move all day long, aud seldom staying more than one or two days at the same place, as the fodder 6oon becomes exhausted. During tho middle hours of the night they rest, rising at about 3 o'clock in the morning to feed or march; and by 10 o'clock ia the day they are again collected and rest till the afternoon; then they rouse themselves once more and are on the ruovo till about 11 o'clock at night, when they again rest. When a calf is born the herd stays with the mother for two days, at the end of which time the little one is able to move with the rest. The youngest climb hills ,and cross rivers, being supported in swimming by their mothers' trunks, and held in front of them. Should an alarm occur during the march, they, vanish under their mothers, and are then seldom seen again. When a few months old they scramble on their mother's shoulders to cross a river, helping themselves by holding on with their, legs, or they swim alone. Elephants swim perhaps better than any other animal. I have heard of a number of elephants that were sent from oue part of India to the other, having the Ganges and several of its tributary streams to cross. In one swim they were six hours without touching the bottom, and, after resting on a sand-bank, they swam for three more. I have said that elephants are usually seen in herds, but there is the rogue, or solitary elephant, that loves to wander about alone, spending its days and nights in making excursions into the extensive ricegrounds that abound in the neighborhood of Indian villages, and doing a vast deal of mischief. Elephants are also remarkable for their timidity. A female elephant was onco employed in a Ceylon forest to push down large trees when only half cut through, in order to lessen the labor of the men. On one occasion a squall ' of wind suddenly broke a tree close oy, causing it to fall upon the elephant's back, and ever afterward she would at once rush off through tho forest if she heard the slightest crack while the felling was going on. Another large elephant, after being capsized with a vessel, could never be got to enter a ship. As you may suppose, elephants eat a great deal. . Iho government allowance in Bengal for an elephant of full size is four hundred pounds a day of green fodder, viz., grasses, branches, of tre3s. sugar-cane and such like, or 240 pbuuds of dry fodder, viz., stalks of grain. ; Water is as necessary to them as food itself. They delight to live along the sides of rivers and to keep in the most shady forest and watery places. In communicating with each other and in expressing their wants and feeling, elephants make use of a great variety of sounds, some of which are uttered by the trunk and some by the . throat. Anger and fear are expressed by a shrill roar, or trumpet, but if enraged by wounds, or brooding in solitude, they express their feelings by a continuous hoarse grumbling from the throat, Pleasure is expressed by a continuous low squeaking through the trunk; want, as when a calf calls its mother, is chiefiy expressed by the throat. i - . -4-- ' r a GALLANTRY. It Is Said to De Declining, and There Is No Reason to Regret the Fact. New York Mall and Express. ' There is a decay of gallantry. The ladies say so. The gentlemen admit it. The newspapers lament it. This decay of gallantry is not wholly to be lamented. Gallantry of the old school was a very curious thing indeed. It kissed a lady's hand, but it refused to allow that hand, however skillful, to make itself useful. It worshiped womanhood, and insisted on keeping its idols in a state of beggary, or at loast of dependence. It wrote odes to women's eyebrows, and denied them a chance to get an education. It gave women a shadowy homage, and denied them all real benefits, because they were only fit to be done up in lavender. Gallantry has been one of the chief obstacles in the way of the improvement of the condition of women. Let a woman get a position as correspondent in a commercial house, as reporter on a newspaper, as clerk in a government department, and, unless she is a woman of unusual sense, she is apt to expect a gallant treatment of her associates. Her mistakes must be condoned, her faults pass uncorrected, because she is a woman. Or, if she have too much good sense to expect anything of the sort, her gentlemen associates will yet put her upon this footing, and presently crowd her from her place, because "you never can correct a woman, you know." Now, a truly modest and earnest woman does not desire this sort of treatment. If she is a clerk, she wants to be a clerk. She is too proud to ask or receive any odds in competition. It is better, therefore, for the independent women, who have to carry on the struggle of life for themselves, that the old gallantry should die or change its form. And every step taken in the direction of woman's independence is a step toward the destruction ot that chivalrousness that exempts woman, or women, from some of the burdens of life. Seeing that this old courtliness was in some sense a sham, denying to womanhood more than it gave, we bow it out without a regret. It isbetter for the useful women that it should go, and all the lamentation of the ornamental wallflowers cannot excite in us any sympathetic sorrow. We shall not even weep if tho ornamental wallflowers disappear also. True gallantry will not ao out; it is only the sham chivalry that disappears. True gallantry is something Christian, manly and noble. It is not atribnteto fine clothes, to social position, to beauty of face. It is the tribute of a man to a woman, of manhood to womanhood. True gallantry does not give bows instead of bread, nor courtesies in place of liberty. But, says some sharp-penned woman writing in the papers, men do not give up their seats to ladies as they once did. Our observation is that most men never did; or, if they did, it was under a compulsion from publio sentiment. We believe that quite as many men stand for the sake of ladies in these days as at any time heretofore. . But what is gallantry bnt a tribnte from the stronger to the weaker! What right has a frcsn-faced. ruddy eirl, abounding in strength, to plant herself iu front of a weary man in a way that indicates her expectation that he will yield his seat? What right has she to take it, indeed!" Reseedlng for Permanent Meadows. American Agriculturist. The question was recently raised in the Delaware County (N. Y.) Dairymen's Association, at their annual meeting, . why meadows run out so 6oon. The president remarked that thev now need frequent plowing and reseeding; though, when the country was new they remained much longer, yielding good crops annually of clover and timothy. There were present several of the best farmers in the county, and they freely acknowledged the truth of the statement. One farmer said the land is being robbed of its elements, which produce large crops of grass and are not returned; consequently, the land is becoming poor and would produce lesa and less. Others responded that top-dressing did not keep tbe meadows good. It was the decided opinion that meadows, as well as pastures, must be plowed, cultivated and reseeded to obtain a full growth. The writer well rembers an experiment in this direction. Ameadow on the "Homestead" farm, in the days when the mower was unknown, was made almost perfect, so smooth was it and free from stones. Each year it was given a heavy top-dressing. The sod became very hard aud solid. The grass

was fine, and a fair crop was obtained, but not near what should have been grown, as it was the most natural grass-land on the farm. This was carried on for years long enough to demonstrate whether that was the right way to manage the meadow. It was finally broken up and a crop of corn raised, followrd by spring wheat, aud then seeded to clover. A finer crop of clover never grew. GIVE BOYS A CHANCE.

Effect of the Stand Taken by Many Labor Unions In Regard to Apprentices. Chicago New s. That trades-unions as a rule take a harmful stand on the subject of the employment of apprentices is admitted by many labor leaders. The plea which is advanced for the limiting of the number of boys who are permitted to learn a trade is that of self-protection. The men say that they have no time to teach boys how to work, and besides it is to their advantage not to let too many competitors enter the labor field. The American boy has to compete with all Europe when he tries to become a skilled workman. The natural growth of industries in this country is offset by the vast number of foreign craftsman who come here well equipped for the tasks for which the yoong man of the United States has had no chance to prepare himself. Thus it comes about that the best workmen, and those who command high prices as specialists in fine work, and foremen in shops are mainly of European birth and training. The trades-unions are swelled in membership by foreigners, and so the number of apprentices is kept down as low as possible. The chief sufferer by this is the American boy. For some years there has been a studied disregard for his interests. He is forced to the wall by the inrush of craftsmen who have learned their trades in Europe. The master builders of this city say that one of the most obnoxious demands made on them by the striking carpenters is for authority to regulate the employment of apprentices. The builders contend that tney have the right to employ as many apprentices as they choose. As this is a question involving also the right of the American boy to earn a living as a skilled workman, its importance will be conceded by all. Whenever trades-unions try to advance the interests of their members at the expense of other occupants of the labor field their influence is bad. Organization has done much for workingmen. but when it strikes at the boy who is ambitious)to learn a trade it plays tbe part of a bully. The American boy does not have a fair chance in cities like Chicago. This is a very shameful condition of affairs. A remedy ought to be apElied. The boy is here and he must earn is own living or he will become a tramp or a criminal. Give him work. Newly-Dug Trees. Tick's Magazine. More than one-half the failures in getting a "stand" of any kind of fruit are the reeult of careless digging and neglect while the roots are out of their native element. There is no class of planters who do their work so rapidly and with such . 6ecniing carelessness as nurserymen, yet their losses are comparatively small, simply because they know that the proper place for roots is in the earth, and take every precaution to make their condition when out of tbe earth as similar to the natural one as possible. In the earth the roots are moist and subject to very slow variations of temperature, nnd are also in darkness. As usually handled, these natural conditions attending the life of a root are all disregarded. The tree is rudely dug from tho gronnd, where it has had a temperature cf 40 or 60 for weeks, loaded on a wagon exposed to a drying wind and a hot sun, carted for miles without even a blanket to protect it, then driven into a barn at night, with the thermometer at 2S the next morning, to stay, on the wagon until weath er and convenience permit planting. I knew one old farmer to keep a load of cherry and peach trees on his wagon in the barn for a week, without any sort of protection, through a snow storm, and then refuse payment because the trees nearly all failed to grow. He was so ignorant of the probable cause of the failure that he was going to stand a law-suit, but his lawyer bad some knowledge of horticulture, and advised him to pay up, charging him $5 for knowledge that the farmer of seventy years ought to have acquired by intuition, associated, as he had been all his life, with growing trees and plants. The G. A. R. and Its Work. Interview with General Alger at St. Louis. "Have you been directing your attention to politics lately!" was asked the General. No," replied ho most emphatically. I have not paid the least attention to matters political since 1 1 was elected commander-in-chief. There is no politics in Grand Army circles, and, being at tbe bead of such a powerful organization, it would be unwise for me to mingle in politics. We have a great work before us in the G. A. R., and I take great pleasure in promoting the great interests of the great body of patriots to which I belong. There ro many of these patriots who are now in want, and some even in misery. To such as these I am directing my attention, and doing all that I possibly can to alloviate their sufferings and fulfill their wants. We do not desire to see legislation blocked where it may be turned in behalf of these veterans. There is nothing unreasonable in our demands, but we do most emphatically declare ourselves to be in favor of a pension for the needy soldier." Mine. Patti and the Phonograph. Chicago News. Mme, Patti has always resolutely refused to sing into a phonograph, even for reproduction before the most exclusive audiences. The madame was recently outwitted in San Francisco. howevert for one of Edison's agents caught the priceless notes of "Home, Sweet Home," on a waxen cylinder. He placed the machine underneath tho stage among the gas-pipes and connected it with the prompter's box, where the diva's voice fully penetrated. It would seem as if the phonograph is destined to arouse as much enmity among great artists as tbe photograph fiend. It will be a terrible profanation of sacred art when a song which a prima donna is paid $5,000 to sing can be reproduced on a phonographic attachment to a hand-organ, a monkey meanwhile collecting pennies in a tin cup. How Timothy Grass Was Named. Timothy or herd grass is the most common grass of continental Europe, growing wild throughout all that vast region between the Mediterranean sea on the south, and tho North sea in the direction the name implies. It is not known exactly when it was first introduced into the United States, but this much is known, it takes its name from Timothy Hanson, a farmer of Maryland, who brought it into general notice as a hay grass, after he had cultivated it extensively for his own use for jears. The botanical name for the grass is phleum prateuse. It is a curious fact that, although its native home is Europe, the United States is the first country in which it was grown, cut and cured for hay. Not longer ago than 1785 some timothy heads and seeds were taken to England and exhibited as curiosities. The Peculiar Figure Nine. Did you ever notice the peculiarity in the figure 9!- When an error has arisen from any transposition of figures the difference between such transposed numbers is universally a multiple of the numeral 9. For an instance: Suppose an error occurs in bringing out a trial balance or cash settlement, or that tbe sum short can be divided by 0 without any remainder. If it has occurred in this way there is a strong probability that the mistake has been made by transposing figures; at any rate.-if such mistake takes place by reason of transposition, the sum in question will always divide by 9 without remainder. To illustrate this: If 97 has bpen put down as 79 the error will be 18, or twice 9, exactly; if S22 be set down as 223 the error will be 99, or 11x9. and so on between any transposed numbers. Try it and prove it. Gen. Lew Wallace's Pension. Chleago Herald. General Lew Wallace will devote his Mexico pension to an orphans' home in Crawfordsville. He is already rich, thanks to MBen-Hur." and does not need the paltry $8 a month. As author and soldier. General Wallace is an honor to the country. Green foods make more milk and better milk, provided they are mixed with the proper proportion of rich, dry foods. But it must be remembered that green foods diilor widely. There are good, better, best and tbe reverse. Even the same species of grass will vary in valne with climate, soil and season. Indeed, there are no permanently fixed values in foods.
