The imports of foreign merchandise at the port of New York last week were comparatively large, the tctal being $3,0!l,4y of which ?3,892, 414 were general merchandise, and the remainder, $2 199.05, dry goods.

But, really, we think jUt this way that President Arthur ii as good A man as the Emperor of Austria. t:e sporting cbaze. There isio disguising the fact that American clTil:-5ition ia radly compromised by the encouragement accorded the brutal fistic exhibition? of the sporting ring. It is a morbid sentiment that pays monetary tribute tu and?ets up as a anbject of national discussion, a drunkard, a woman beater and ruffian such as John L. Sullivan. It is not creditable to our taste that the Sullivans, Paddy ByEf, Pete McCoys and Mitchells can, In an5" city, draw larger paying audiences to witness their slnggin eet-tos than can a talfnted lecturer cr an intelligent performance of Hamlet. But snch la the dcxntjj&d for information concerning these worthies that the Associated Press and the newsipers must ipers must needs tell ot their goirgs in -'and comings out.

Brio ball is rnquc slicnably a detccraHzIrg rport, and the country is the worse off for the craze it his err ated. How far roller skating is behind bae ball in pernicious influenca can not definitely be deterrnisfd. With tte mad infatuation thousands and tome . net dangerously youE3 ore demonstrating for the rinks Ihey are anre'y doing much bsrni. They are exciting if that bo a recommendation. But they are not healthful, and where there is such promiscuous mingling of the refined with the coarse, the former must

certainly suffer, A popular revulsion from puplism, base S ball and skating rinks is inevitable, sooner or later, and it can not cimo too eoon. WHOLESOME AMÜSEMENTS. A meeting of a dciea Metbc Jiat minista fifty year3 ago would not have dncuised the subject of "Proper Amujemnt3," as did the Methodist mifsters of Indijuapcln at their meeting on last Mondsy Time hts been when Methcdhra aril Prefcbyterianism anathfcaat'zul any and every form of pleasnrab'e entertammt-nt. even other dtnominatiocs, also, thsre have been spiritual teachers whcsQ rigid views were no compromise npon those of old ''David Deans," of the Heart of Midlothian." Not only were children restrained from any asaemblas for good cheer, but their homes were prisons with guards stationed to arrest any natural ebulition ot merriment. For g'ai3ome songs the young were commended such as bejin with "Hark from the tombs a doleful sound," or "No room for mirth cr trifling here." But in the discussion by the Indianapolis Methodist ministers one is quoted as saying parents "ought to open their homes to their children's friends, even if carpets are soiled and brie a-brac displaced." Sail another, " 'Laugh and grow fit' i3not entirely an Irreligious sajing. There is a vein ofhumorinthe nature of every one all the way from 'Peck's Bed Boy' to tbe most ttaid old Christian Imf ginable." There were expre! sions of like tenor from others, while there were several to condemn amusements as hurtful in tendency to morality and spirituality. But the discussion as a whoU indicates a growth of liberality in the Methodist Church, and the same Is true of other cenominations, as to amusements. It shows a spirit for regulating rather than prohibiting resources for pleas ure. With such teachings from the ministry, parents will be found considering and adopting measures for providing home amusements for their children. When they do this and take part themselves in the retimes their boys Kill not be found so anxious to be from home at night. There will be a happier community of feeling between the several members of the family. When evening comes let music, readings and social games lend cheer to the sitting-room. These enlivening features captivate and make horn? something more than a place of abode. Oae of the most devout and successful ministers of the Methodist Church wa3 recently found by a visitor engrossed in a game of backgammon with his better half. In the parlor their three sons and three daughter, ranging from tea to twenty-three years, were singing, one of the boys skillfully accompanying tbe piano with a violin. An hour later the entire family, with the visitor, was engaged in a social game, which afforded much merriment, at the conclusion of which family prajers were held, the evening hymn being sung to piano and violin accompani ment. h.very member or. that laoawy is esteemed in the community for irreproachable life and lovable qualities. Thestage often affords amusement, instruction and entertainment, improving to the mind and promotive of good in the heart. This is now recognized by niaiy ministers, and the day is not far distant when instead of prohibiting pl8y-?roing the ministry, or at ' least a large portion ot it, will look only to ths class of plays. Whatever tends t) the cultivation of cheerfulness, eo that it does not debauch morals, is conducive of good. Tha growing plant which knows only darkness or clouds or cold will be dwarfed, odorless and colorless; warmth, light and freshening dews are needed to make them strong, brilliant and fragrant. Tha creature who frowns, is melancholy, denounces harmless cheer, is not a good advertisement for religion. He is not our ideal of an inhabitant of the celestial realm. Nor are those whose precepts favor Well spread looks and Ions, wry faces." most influential in winning the human family to tbe better life. Amusement is not a synonym of evil, and when recognizing this and aiding in drawing the line between demoralizing end innocent recreation, the ministry is taking a great step forward. 8Ü3QESTIVE. The latest achievement in scientific surgery is the removal of a living man's bowels for the purpose of removing foreign substances from the abdominal cavity. The replacing of the bonels was followed by the recovery of the patient. We are led to hope that this Is but the forerunner of greater achievements, and that it will be possible to remove the brains of a living man, and after having mended them put them back again. We are of the opinion that in this manner the brains cf some people we know could be much improved. The main difficulty would be, how ever, to find the brains, but by meaus of a microscope they might be discovered. HIS EXCELLENCY. The New York Run hai been investigating tbe subject and discovers that in but two States in the Union is the Governor constitutionally entitled to be styled "His Excellency." These are Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The title of the chief executive cf the former is "His Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," and the title of the Governor of the latter 4 His Excellency the Governor of the Stats of New Hampshire." In treaty-

six Slates tbe executive is Mmp'y Mthe Governor;" in eight 8rate.. including Indiana, ' "tbe Gov rror of tbe State of in one. "the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky," and in another "the Governor cf Florida" Tbe San's research was prcmpted by th fact that the Civil Service SCcmmifficn of New York City had errone'cntly tcdreft ed the Governor of that Stataa "His Excellency" when his constitutional ! title is 'the Governor."

AN EXULTING BROTHER. According to rtcent data furnished by icr-e of the papers cf the Baptist faith coacernirg foreign missionary work among .heathen ratines, we aie led to note that the Baptists term at least to be more successful in missionary work tban other Christian chcichcf. The total number of heathen converts connected at present with missionary stations under charge cf the Presbyterians, Ccngregationalists, Methodists, Christians atd Episcopalians number 78,711, - vitile the Baptists alone have 113.203 heathen to their credit. Thus the Baptists have made 31, G19 more converts than have bean i msde by all the other prominent religions bodies, and, as will be presently shon, at an extremely cheap rate. The Baptist i-aper in passiDg to the dtcnfeion of the coet of converts prints the following table:

a p v. -. - aS a w e o . ! , Consifkaiionalists. 2,371; 24-4 14 Cr.riRtian (Canpbtlliic) '.','t 72 S4 Epiccor alian. -VS mi (3 Methodist . 2.7SI 117 91 Prtfcbjteilau.......... 3.C37 21S 14 TTo t &1 . ?i ( $ Baptist li.S.tl 37 0

From this table it appears that Baptist heathen cost less than those converted by any other denomination. It costs 2.03 to turn a pagan into an Episcopalian, and $218.14 to make a Presbvtiian out ot an average heathen. The Baptists, however, can convert a heathen for only $.'7.00, aid at that price can secure more than Ciu be secured by all tbc;r rivals put together. As our Baptist contemporary exultingly remarks, ' One dollar givn by American Baptists to foreign missions" accomplishes as much as "six dollars" given by other denominations. However, let tbe brother rejoica. Immortal happinesiischeapat any price. Some old and healtny tinners not in heathen lands, waste millions of dollars in riotous living and never reach conversion. THE PA33UV1SK. In about two weeks more the first of the five great feasts of ths Jews, Tesach," will be ushered tn. "Pesach" is better known as the Paesover to English and Americans. The orthodox Hebrews, in obedience of the Mosaic law aa laid down in Exodus xili., 7, abstain from tbe eating bread, substituting therefor a peculiar cake known as "matzo." The custom is explained as follows in the verse above quoted: "Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days, and there shall bs no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in ail tby qaaiters." When the Jews left Egypt Pharoah was in such a hurry to see them depart that he gave them no time to prepare their food and they had to resort to unleavened breai. The matzo is made from sifted floor and filtered water, is round in form, about one foot in diameter and one-eighth of an inch thick. The price varies from eight to ten cants a pound. NO SHOCK. The Western Christian Advocate is move! tc the expression cf tbe fcllowing sensible Christian-spirited words: "Tha transition rom one administration to another as so quietly made that no shoe's was felt ia any part of the country. From the discussions oflast fall one might have been lei to almost drt ad an earthquake on the 4th of March, but cone carce. The March winds blew and the March sun shone as usual. Presithnts come and go, and parties rise and fall, but tbe P.rpublic moves on its majestic way. It has survived tbe shock of the most gizantic war of the century, ani has thus proved its stability. None need despair. If we know enough, and are good enough, the careful providence of God will guard our way and establish us forever. Th8 only thing we need to tireal is sin." Written for the Sentiae;. Temperance. Shall a man drink between It and 12 o'clock at night? A more important question has not been presented to the Indiana Senate this session. It was gratifying to a plain constituent to see that the Senators reccgni zed the importance of this question. Few gentlemen voted without explaining their votes. Seme gentlemen lost the chance of explaining by being suddenly called out. The question applied to one city. Evansvilie being on the border, we are compelled to accommodate the Kentuckians and Tennesreeans. There .is no help for us. We must keep open all night. But the little inland town of Indianapolis fought bravely for its rights. It was apparent at the beginning of the fight that Indianapolia would be disfranchised. I could see that, somehow, an idea pervaded tbe Senate that it was not necessary to keep open after 11 o'clock. O! course when you talk of necessities, wa can only quote King Lear: "O, reason not the need ; our bawst be?? Are In the poorest things fcuperHaoui." When a man went to Texas without a re volver, they told him that he migat not want it at all, but if he did, he would want it mighty bad. Itmaybethat man may not want a drink between Hand 12 at night; but if he does, he will want it awful had Still, it ia beginning to be understood in this country that the drinking man has no rights which the cold water man is bound to respect. I can plainly see that the days of the liquor man are numbered. The liqaor man is going, like the buffalo or the old Whig party. When a lady claimed to bs an old Whig, John Vau Baren said: ''Look well at her the male of this species is ex tinct." It will not be long before a genuine liquor man will be a curioelty. Is it too late to enter a protest against the destruction of this representative of American life? The liquor man and the cold-water man together built up Indiana. For many years they toiled together to redeem the land from the forest, tc put up Insane Asylums and Penitentiaries. When the work was done, and every county had a railroad, the cold-water men anncuccedthat the liquor men must go. It is anderste od in law that one tenant In common can not eject bia co-tenant Bit

tbe exception is that he may ej?ct him If h drinks. Where shall the liquor man g? There is local ootion in Idioois and Ken

tucky. What the law of Ohio is no human being knows not even the Judges. Wnat a begira it would be if all the liquor men moved away together. I honestly believe ibattbey would be more numerous than ttose who remained behind. My deliberate conviction is that no com munity would receive and entertain thatu for any great length of time. We must therefore stay. How would it do for the 1 4gilature to require drug stores tt keep tetter whisky? The meanness of drugstore wlmky has parsed inty a proverb. When I heard a fine flood of eloquence th other day on the subject of "Buttcrine," I thought how much nearer to the masses would the ora'or ccme who would denouncs "drag store whifky." I know that temperance paoDle are fond of eaying that the remedy is to bay ia quanti ties. But this is satire. are unable now to pay our rent when Saturday comes how can we buy in quantities? If we were all bondholders, we would be independent alike of tke saloons and the drug store. Bat it Is a barren boon to offer us rales in quantities. Wfcat then shall we do? If the liquor man has a friend in the Gen eral Assembly I invite him to prepare a b;ll which shall delay at least until after the next election the decay of this once powerful race of men. X. X.

A fine, life-size portrait in oil has just been ehown ns of Mrs. J. C. Btranghan, deceased, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. J; C. Shoemaker. It was executed by Clinton W. Manker, of M cores ville, a rising young; artist whose pro traits are attracting considerable well-merited attention. The picture just shown ut is a fine work of art. While getting the features and expression of countenance almost exactly as conveyed by the card photo from which he copied, the artist has at the same time gotten the coloring admirably, f 0 that the result is a likeness strikingly life-like in all resrects. Among Mr. Manker's productions we have ten one cf the late It. N.Todd, M. D., which was selected as being the best, by a competent committee, from among four portraits which had been painted cf that gentleman by different artists of note, each cf whom competed for the honor of having his work adorn tbe walls of the medical college of thla city, and of obtaining the substantial prize that was offered for the best likeness 0 the dcctor. These are butt roof many of Mr. Manker's oil portraits, and we can recommend him to all wanting satisfactory wort in his line. Golden Wedding.

Knox, of Lebanon, Ind.. was. on account of ill health, unable to attend. The only immediate relatives pretcnt were their son, Mr. George J. Abbott, and daughter, Mrs. Lizzie H. Phillips, of this city, with their families, wbo, together with a few of the oldest and roost intimate relatives and friends, enjoyed atypical golden wedding. Tbe fact that the wedding and the golden weddirr; both occurred on the eame day of tbe wcex, that the weather oa both days "was similar, and tbat precisely the eame number (eighteen) was presenton each occasion. Is considered a rather jemarkable coincidence. The presents were numerous and of the use ful tind, among which were a large ea-y-chair, clothing and gold an! silver cola. The Military Carnival. A large number ot tcbccl children visited the Armory yfsterJay atternooa and viewed tbe various xelics and curiosities on exhibition there, besides witnessing au excellent Punch and Jndy show. 0ing to tbe failure of the management to properly advertise tbe evening entertainment but a handful cf persons were present, aud Cook's Comedy Company did not give a performance as was anticipated.
