Great Excitement In the Commons Sas pension of Sir. Heady. L0XD05, April 15. Sir William Vernon Harcoart, resuming the debate on the coercion bill in the House of Commons this afternoon, said the present alliance between the Liberals and Parneilites was based on the Liberal recognition of the fact that the wisest policy in Irish affairs lay in the acceptance of some form of Irish government which would tend to satisfy the Irish people. He twitted Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Chamberlain with having recently consulted Mr. Parnell, seeling to make an alliance with him for their own purposes- Referring to the conspiracy and Whiteboy clauses of the proposed act. Sir William declared that - they sapped the foundation of all personal liberty, and would even debar Irishmen from forming business combinations to defend their existing rights. The spirit in which the Government would administer the coercion act if it were passed was sufficiently shown in the appointment of Colonel Kins Barman to the Parliamentary Undersecretaryship for Ireland. By this appointment the Government had declared itself to be a partisan of the landlords, and determined to administer the bill as the agent of the land owners in Ireland, thus becoming an instrument to stimulate the worst passions of the people and their bitterest religious prejudices. The bill would fail to suppress the Irish National League, because the people of Ireland believed in the League and trusted it. The effect of the enforcement of the bill would be to make the Government more detested and the League more popular than ever. As to the Tory and Liberal Union taunts about American gold fostering Irish discontent, Sir William Vernon Harcourt said: "There are none who have les3 reason to complain of American gold than the Irish landlords, for none get more of it. They pet through it their poor tenants' rents' The proposal to make the bill permanent Sir William characterized as a breach of the fundamental conditions of the union between Ireland and Great Britain. The Government professed to reverence this union, but was doing its be?t to violate it. If the Government earnestly desired to maintain the union, let it abandon the policy of exasperating the Irish people and adopt the policy of justice and conciliation. Cheers. Mai or Saunderson (Conservative) said the National League was supported mainly by the criminals, dynamiters and murderers across the Atlantic He did not charge the gentlemen opposite with imbruing their hands in blood, but he did charge them with associating with man whom they knew to be murderers. Mr. Healy rosa to a point of order. , The Speaker replied that Major Saunderson had made the gravest of charges, but these could be met in debate. He himself was unable to interfere. Mr. Healy responded that he would say what he thought of Saunderson, regardless of consequences. If Msjor Saunderson referred to him he had no hesitation in saying that Saunderson was a liar. This remark was greeted with rousing ParneiJite cheers. The Speaker called upon Mr. Ilealy to withdraw the expression. Jlr. Healy replied: "lam not entitled to rise until you sit down." The chetring was renewed and the Speaker re'Utr.ed the chair. Mr. Healy again took the floor and said: "I am only able to nuet the charge in one way. If you rule Major Saunderson in order my expression is equally in order. If you rule him out of order I shall withdraw my expression." , The Speaker That's not so. Msjor Saunderson made a charge of the gravest nature. The responsibility rests entirely with hlrustlf. It is his duty to prove it if he can cheers, but I can not allo the exprt sion you used. Mr. Healy repeated that Major Saunderson was a liar. A great uproar arose ana the Speaker again called upon Mr. Healy to withdraw. Mr. Healy refased. The. Speslrer thereupon named him, and W. H. Smith first Lord of the Treasury, moved that Mr. Healy be suspended. Mr. Redmond jamped up and shouted: "I say he is a liar, too!'' The House then divided on the motion to suspend Mr. Healy and the motion was carried ; IIS to 52. When the voie was announced Mr. Healy walked out of the House applauded by all of the Parneilites, who stood up waving their hats and raising oheer after cheer. Msjor Saunderson, upon attempting to resume his speech, was interrupted by loud cries of "withdraw," "withdraw." Mr. Sexton, interrupting, asked whether he (Saunderson) persisted in his statement or would he withdraw it Major Saunderson replied that Sheridan was a member of the Executive Committee, of which the member from W.est Belfast (Mr. Sexton) was also a member.
Loud cries of "withdraw," Mr. Sexton Did I know him to be a murderer? Did I ever associate with a roan whom I knew to be a murderer? Cheers and a voice, "Withdraw, you murderer." Major Saunderson I said Sheridan was on the committee, and against him a true bill wu found for complicity in the ric-'-rx Park neuters. The committee mast have ktoAU what kind of a man he Was. Here Mr. Sexton, springing to hiä feet, shouted: "I say jou are a wilful, cowardly liar!M Then there was another uproar. The Parneilites all rose and cheered frantically, waving their hats. As soon as there was a chance to be heard Mr. Sexton, again addressing Major Saunderson, exclaimed : "If I only could meet you outside the door of this house I would thrash vou within an inch of your life." The excitement was asain renewel The Speaker arose and addressed the House, but bis voice was inaudible above the din. When quiet was somewhat restored the Speaker said that unless Mr. Sexton withdrew the expression he would be compelled to name him. lie appealed to the House to assist him in his dnty, adding that he was willine to do anything in his power to allay bad feeling. rCbeers.1 The Speaker then asked Major Saunderson whether he charged Mr. Sexton with associating with murderer?. Major Saunderson after several evasive answers which were Interrupted by loud cries of "answer, answer the Speaker's question," etc., eventually withdrew the woTds he used. The Speaker then asked Mr. Sexton to withdraw hü expression, at the same time adding "I can sot conceal from in y seil tha
feet that the provocation has been very great." Loud cheer? Mr. Sexton then formally withdrew his expression. Mr. Leake, member for Lancashire, suggested that Mr. Healy be recalled. The Speaker said nothing could be done in the matter until the next sitting. Mr. Sexton gave notice that at the next sitting of the House he would move that suspension of Mr. Healy be revoked. Cheers. Major Saunderson then resumed his speech. He aaid : "Mr. Sexton was present at the meeting at which Mr. Egan was made secretary of the ClanXa-Gael, which was a murder society of America." Mr. Sexton rose to a point of order. The Speaker advised Major Saunderson to withdraw the offensive expression. Another scene of confusion ensued, Major Saunderson repeating his words, whereupon Mr. Sexton shouted: "The honorable gentleman is again a liar." The Speaker called upon both members to withdraw their offensive remarks, which they did. Major Saunderson again resumed his speech, and charged the Parneilites with various connections with Egan, Ford and other advocates of murder.
At the conclusion of his speech Major Saunderson was greeted with cheers from the Conservative benches. Adjourned. LATE NEWS FROM EMIN BET. He Was Established When the Messenger Lett Ulm at Wadelal. Zaszibar, April 15. A Somila trader from the Unganda country has arrived here bearing advices from Eniin Iey. He was established, when the trader left, at Wadelal, north of Albert Nyanze. He had two small steamers plying on the White Is ue and on the lake, in November, which was four months later than the advices brought by Dr. Junker, Emin Bey visited King Unyoro, which was a six days' journey from Uganda. Emin Bey wa3 accompanied on his journey by Dr. Vita Hassan, ten Egyptian officers, three Greeks and four neeroes. Subsequently he asked Mwanga, King of the Uganda, to receive him. The King said he would willingly receive him if he came without followers. Emin Bey thereupon went to King Mwan ga, accompanied by Dr. Vita and three Greets. He and his companions remained with the King seventeen days. Emin asked the King for permission to pasa thronen his territory toward Zanzibar. The King, upon hearing this re quest, ordered the visitors to return the way they came and declared be would have nothing more to do with Europeans. King Mwanga is a youth eighteen years of age. He has 1,000 wives. Sometimes he wears a Turkish and other times an Arab costume, and often reverts to the na tive simplicity in the matter of dress. Emin Bey, when tne King ordered him to return the way he came, went back to Wadelai and was glad to escape from Mwanga's country. The Somali states that the messengers dispatched from Zanzibar to carry information to Emm Uey that Mr. Stanley had gone with an expedition by way ot the Congo River to ellect his rescue, were detained in Unyanyembo bv the King, who was indisposed to allow them to proceed.

Flourens, Minister of Foreign Af fairs, and protested against the Newfound land fisheriei bill, which they declared was inimical to the interests of French fisheimen. M. Flourens pao raised to give the matter his serious attention. A HARANGUE ON HELL. The Theory of an Alabama Negro Concern ing the Infernal Region. IBaltlmore Special.l Lasar A. Taylor, of Alabama, a young colored man, is delivering lectures here on "Hell." He has made several addresses. and at each succeeding one becomes more than ever convinced of the correctness of Lis theory regarding the location of the in f einal regions- Finding that he can at tract larger audiences on the street than by hiring a ball, he delivers his harangues on the public highway, usually, however, selecting a neighborhood in which colored people predominate. He announces by advertisement that he will appear at a certain place at a certain hour, and at the appointed time drives up in a hack, jumps out, pulls out a box, and starts oil describing the exact location of hell. His aim, he says, is to reverse th theory of the globe's origin, and give a scie itific location of hell, harmonizing with the Bible. He is bitterly opposed to Bob Inger oil. Here is bis argument: "The bottomless pit, I say, is sealed up. if not how are thinking si a ners and christians to believe that it can hold anything? Why do you gull the congregations on the doctrine of a hell when you admit that yon have no substantial evidence and will not accept any. If hell is bottomless, don't tell us there is anything in it. The torrid zone, as a belt of heat forty -seven miles in width, encircles tne center of the earth, and I hold that vol canic eruptions result from the bottun of the basins of water tailing out, thus letting in the water which it contains all at once upon the internal heat and generat ing steam, and occasioning great roaring and general blowing out eruption, this internal fire compares with the l.ible bota as to location and description. Is it hell? Drop into it and see. It can be mathemit Icallv proven that the earth's crust is be tween fifty and seventy-five miles thick to a temperature that would melt iron. After close figuring I estimated it to be nearly fifty-two miles thick. The main diameter of the earth being 7,'JJ'i miles, nuy-two from each end 101 would leave t.bsz miles as a diameter, the square of which multiplied by three 14.15J gives the spherical surface measure 1D2.1S2.G31 snnare miles, to find the solid contents of which we multiply by one-third the radius of the sphere, which is 230,512,01)3,8.33 cubic miles of space for the molten lake of hell." Taylor uses a diagram when ex plaining his theory. Marder and Suicide. Lima, Ohio, April 11. Early yesterday morning Joseph Bnrcb, a well-to-do farmer living six miles from this place, killed tils sick wife with a hammer and then went to the woods near by, twisted some bark into a noose and hanged himself. His son coming home soma time later found his mother dying and gave the alarm. Some neighbors, soon after this discovery, found the body of the murderer and suicide hanzine quite dead. He was temperate but weak-minded and the pair had fre quent quarrels. A Great Event In Chlcag Journalism. " Pittsburg Diapatch.l f" ira cm Tnnrtpr ftftt a hiff Herniation. City Editor Good.

NEW YORK'S LAST DRAFT.
How President Lincoln Lightened th? Barden bat Demanded Hn tn Boots. Watertoirn Times.) In the winter of 1361-5 there were several calls for men from the War Department to fill the New York regiments that had been depleted by the three-and-a-half years' war for the Union. One was issued In December for 61.000 men ; it being considered ex cessive by the authorities at Albany. Governor Fenton and General Palmer, of his military stall, went to see if a reduction in the number asked for could -not be obtained. The Governor was unable to make any impression upon becretary btanton, wno was more than firm. He was rigid in adherirg to the allotment fcr New York as then made. Not doubting the right and justice of his claim for a reduction and a reassignment as iu iuu uiaixiia, tuy uuernor called on Mr. Lincoln, who listened attentively and patiectly to all he had to sav. At the close the President remarked: "I guess yon have the best of it, and I must advise Stanton and Fry to ease up a little." He wrote upon a card to Mr. Stanton, and gave it to the Governor to carry to him, the following: The Governor had a pretty good case. I feel nre he is more than half rfcht. We don't want him to feel cross and we in the wrong. Try and fix it with him. A. Lincoln. The result was the quota as finally ar ranged was fully i,000 less and the equality between the several districts was in a great inB!-ure restored. There was subsequently another call of the same kind, ana it being made before the quota above referred to was filled, it W83 beginning to De a question wnetner the men could be found. Indeed, it was known that there were districts that had sent forward every man who was duly qualified for the service. The trouble lay In the fact that one week there was a requisition for 47,000 men and shortly afterward a demand for G2.000. Our friends at the State capital could not understand this, and the Legislature appointed a committee consisting of two Senators and three mem bers of Assembly to visit Washington, obtain an explanation, and if possible a reduction in the number of men asked for. I do not remember the names of all the Assemblymen: I only know that Thomas B. Van Buren, of New York, was one of them, and that the Senators were James A. Bell, of this district, and George It. An drews, of the Otsego District. Tne committee went to Washington, and at the earliest opportunity called on the Secretary of War. Mr. Van Buren de sired to present the case to Secretary Stanton, and his colleagues assented to the proposition. He was a man who prided himself on his capacity for making a tine speech, and on this occasion he intended to and did spread himself considerably. Before he was half throuzu the great War Secretary became uneasy and told him he knew all about the dimculties in iNew York, that they were always wanting something in that State, that they had more grievances than all the other btates, and that to listen to them would be a waste of time. He frankly and bluntly told the committee that their wishes could hot be complied with. "The mea are all needed," he said, "to replenish the armies, and the Government must have them." 'But suppose thev can not be obtained,"' said Mr. Van Buren. 'Don't you tell me they can t be ob tained," answered Secretary btanton in a firm and measured voice. "I will find a war to eet them." 'Well. Mr. Secretary, if you will not grant us relief, nor even hear us. we shall have to go to the President" And thus saying, the committee, who had not been asaed to take seats, bade the Secretary Rood dav. and were about leaving the room, when, following them 'to tne door, Mr. Stanton said to Mr. Bell, "What do you gentlemen want ." That eentleman told mm tuattaecom mittee had been trying to tell him, and re iterated the points in the case. They were told that they couia see tne President, of course: "but I say to you," said the Secretary, "we must have the men ; I could not erant your request if I would, and I would not if I could." The Secretary was decidedly eruX and the committee left him with no very high opinion of his courtesy. They did not consider that they had been civilly treated. They were not asked to repeat the call. They subsequently called on the f resi dent, who received them kindly, patiently listened to what they had tossy, and while assuring the committee that the men were sorelv needed, was a good deal more reas onable than the Secretary of War. "If there are not men enough in the distrctto fill the Quota, of course it can not be nr.ea there," were the President's words. He said he would see Mr. Stanton, and pro posed that the committee should come to the White House in the evening of the dsy following. By this time General Fry, the Provost Marshal-General, having been snt for, had entered the room. The President questioned him as to the discrepancy in the two allotments for New York State 47,000 and 02,000 having been ligured out under the same call for men. "I made a mistake in the 47,000," answered General Fry. "But are you now sure," asked Mr. Lincoln. "that you have not made a mistake in the 62,000?' This seemed rather to confuse the Provost Marshal General, and in a few words it was arranged that the committee should go with him to his oihee and see what discoveries could be made as to tne manner of making up the quotas for the di Herein States and districts, borne mem bers of the committee intimated that not much faith was reposed in General Fry, but the President guessed he would be found disposed to do what would be right in tne case, and commended him to their confidence. So the committee proceeded to ins oth:e, told their errand, when General Fry sent for his great mathematician, who undertook to enlighten the committee as to the manner of doing business in that depart ment. The committee desired to understand why It was that New York had been asked to finished 47,000 men one day and (12,000 shortly afterward. The great mathe matician took up his pencil and Degaa to make figures, and bo did the committee, and as they proceeded they now and then threw In a Question. "By the time he had been before us half an hour," says Mr. Bell, "he became so mixed up and confused that he was unable to determine with any degree of certainty that two and two would make four." As a matter of fact he was wholly unable to eive a reason for raising the figures from 47 000 to 62,000, and the committor left the cilice in as much darkness as they had entered it. A majority of the committee, offended with the reception given them by the Sec retary of War, and despairing of obtaining the reliet desired, returned to A-many. But Mr. Bell remained, as did benator An drews. These gentlemen met at the White House, pursuant to the President's Invita tion. Secretary Stanton was there, and as 'Where are the rest of the New York com mittee? When that State sends a delega tion here a whole platoon comes. Where is the man that cave the stump speech?" He was told that the other members of the committee had departed, which seemed to afford him great relief. He had a great horror of stump speeches that had been re peated over and over again in some polit ical campaign. Messrs. Bell and Andrews were asked to be seated, when Mr. Lincoln, occupying a chair, one arm of which was a writing desk, took up a piece of blotting paper, about six Inches long and four in width, and wrote the following as New York's griev ance. A part of the document was written with a black pencil and the rest in blue. It covered one aide of the sheet of paper and four lines were written on the back. Mr. Bell preserved and brought hoaia the piece 9l paper and I presume iUU huiU
He loaned it to me and I had a copy male.
This is it: The draft matter complained of bv Governor Fenton is this: That in (riving- cred it-, for tst calls, one three years' man is counted equal to three oae year'.s man, while oa tne penliu? call each man is counted one, and only one vhether ueeniut lor one, two, or tnree year. me prac tical diflitulty may be iuustrated by tae follow ing supposed Case: The towns of A. and B. be fore aDy eniited, have eaca . iwi men. On the late call A Rave 00 one-year men. leaviuz oMt Si at home, while B eave ö3 three-years' men, leav ing 67 at home; on the peadin? call each owes 100 men, subject to its credit, but while A gets credit lor 60 it owes Si, taking tne last man in it, wniie a gets creait xor y. owes i. ana nas to left quietly at home. This ugly conjuncture occurs in some sort accidentally, some towns putting in one year's men, and otheri three years' men, attaching no consequence to this difference, lut which now burdens the one c lass beyond their immediate power to boar. While the above is only a suppose! case. I am told there are real ones that are even stroaser. where there are not men enough in the t-iwn to answer its quota. It gives no present relief that the one year men are to come home sooner than the three years' men. as the present call dop not wait until thev come. Up to this time it had not been an easy matter to state the precise difficulty under which our State labored. Mr. Lincoln made the case so clear that the ordinary mind could comprehend it The truth was, so much had been done in the sending of short-term men to the war, from some localities, that there were no men left to re spond, x or that reason tns number mentioned in the first call (17.000) was much preferred to the larger one. it may be stated nere, parentneticany, that about this time it was currently reported that there were good numbers of colored men to be had at the South, and a large number of commissions were issued from tne Executive Department at Albany for their enlistment; but so far as I know few were ever obtained. The committee desired to get rid of rais ing the number of men called for under the amended call G2,0u0, The authorities of the State were willing- to undertake to raise three-quarters of the number, but it was not clear to them now the whole were to be obtained. The War Department would not consent to release the State Irom securing the larger number; for, said Mr. Lincoln, "we shall have all the other btates here in twenty-four hours, oegging the same favor." After a full discussion it was settled that the committee should call the next morning and obtain a decision of the War Orhce. At the appointed hour Mr. lieu and his colleague repaired to the hite House. The President met tnem, but his counte nance wore an inexpressibly sad look, it was the morniDgon which the President, Secretary Seward, and one or two other Government ooicials were to meet icerie8ident Stephens, of the Confederacy. with Judan P. Benjamin and one or two others on the Confederate side of the James River, and the President was dres'd for the journey. Being asked what he thought would be the outcome of it, he re plied: "Probably nothing." Addressing Mr. tseii, tne rresiueui saia: 'Suppose you were in mv place and I phould tome here from the State of New York making the request you are making with the war yet unfinished and the ranks badly thinned, what would yon do.' ' Mr. Bell confessed that tnis was about tne moat troublesome cooundrum that was ever put to him. and be did not reply. The President tnen told him that tlie authorities had decided to allow New York to put in three-fourths of the men called for and that the other fourth might stand for the present. "But," said the President, "we must have men; Mr. Stan ton tells me your State has a way of making up part of her quotas with paper men." . "Pater men queried Mr. Bell; "why, what does he mean by paper men? ' The President answered, in substance, like this "Well, voa have a way iu Isew York State of procuring the number of men shipped in the navy at New ort, and at Buffalo and at Oswego, and getting them credited to you on your allotment under the next call for the army. This time we must have no paper men ; we want men In boots." He then handed Mr. Bell or Mr. Andrews a folded paper inclosing another paper, tne outside one naving written on it: Grant the within rennest II not Incompatible with the exigeucies oi the service. A. LIMOI.N, They were to present these at the War Department. They took their final leave of President Lincoln and were soon before Secretary Stanton again. "Yes, you have won the point, re marked Mr. Stanton. Then glancing at the outside paper, he said: "Oh, there's nothing incompatible with it; nothing in compatible; but we need all tne men.'' Thus It was that the drait was postponed in resnect to one-fourth of the men called for. This was satisfactory to the commit tee and they returned :o Albany. But beore all wss in readiness lor making tne draft, and before any considerable number of men were raised, the rebellion collapsed and there was general rejoicing throughout the North, not only on account of the close of the war. bat a:so because there were to be no more drafts to worry the people. Grant's Great Grandfather. Hartford Courant, April .. In his very interesting volume of the Colony Records, just published by State Librarian Charles J. lioadiey, appears tne following record of the October session of 1773, which was held at New Haven: I'Don the memorial of Susannah Grant, of Coventry, in Windham County, showiug to this Assembly that in the tprmgot the year a. u. 1756, her husband, Captain Kosh Grant, went Into the war, from wheuce he never returned nor hath been heard of 6lnce, and was probably slain in battle, and that his estate is greatly in solvent: that none ot nia creditors tnius n worth their while to take administration thereon, and that there are some small debts due to paid estate, particularly said Noah's wages in his last and fatal campaign, which would be beneficial to the memorialist and her chLdren in her low circumstances, and praying for an set of this Assembly to enable her to recover said debts without being liable to said Noah's creditors, etc., as per memorial, etc.: Re solved by this Assembly mat tne memorialist advertise in the Hartlord, New London, and one of the New York newspapers three weeks successively this act of Assembly, and after three months from her having advertised as aforesaid, if no creditor or creditors ot said Noah appear to take administration on said estate, the memorialist Is hereby enabled to take administration upon said estate witnoui being accountable or liable to any of the credit ors of said Noah, and the Court of Probate for the district ot Windham is hereby empowered and directed to grant administration to the memorialist as aforesaid, and the memorialist is to account to the Court of Prjbate aforesaid for her proceeding in collecting said debts.

BOY TOILERS WHO RISE.
Itojs With Homes and Without Homes Ho it Bright Doya Succeed. New Yoik Star. When the business men of New York made their Saturday afternoon parades up Broadway during the last Presidential campaign, the demonstrations .were rightfully classed among the most notable in the history of the city. To see 40.0U0 men marching in solid column for two or three hours in a continuous procession several miles in length was indeed a remarkable spectacle. Yet the working boys of New York could iqnal it were they assembled for that purpose. The last census placed the population of New York at 1.200.000, and atatis- , cians tell hs that fully 709,000 of the num ber are children. Uy further subdivision we reach the starling fact that the number of New Yoik bovs who earn their own riv ing, or contribute to it, i3 fully 40,Oh), quite an a:niy in itself. There is no exaggeration in t.ese figures. These working boys may be divided into two c:asses those with nomes and those without. The first comprise about 33.000. for there are fully 7,000 who, having no parents or beiDg driven from home by cruelty or neglect or bad conduct, have no abiding place except the lodging houses tablished for their benefit or such holes and corners as they may find. The boy with a home has an immense advantage over his homeless brother, for in the event of his being thrown out of employment he can fall back upon his parents or other relatives for food and shelter until he n. ..- anotber place; yet the homeless oid?s iura out a larger percentage of smart ami iodustrious men than the more fovtr.l c'as The life of a working boy usna ly Whirls between the ages of twelve and fourtepn, though the street boys often begin at au earlier age. The problem of work be is presented to him, he usually seeks employment in an office. Like the driftwood in a turbulent river, the boy is the creature of accident, for three or four may start out tosether and by the mere3t chance find their paths diverging without any effort on their part. A well-known stock broker once told the writer that he and a boy neighbor left school at tne same time to begin the real struggle of life. ,lWe came down town," said he, "on a horse-car to the City Hall and looked for an opening. As my companion was the younger we had agreed that he should make the first eifort. Passing down Nassau street, we noticed a placard in a stationery store window announcing the want of a boy. Tom went in only to find that another b?y bad just secured the position. As he turned, with a disappointed face, to leave the store a customer asked him a few questions and engaged him on condition that his references proved satisfactory. The gentleman was a lawyer, with an oihee near by, and as they came out I learned how fortunate Tom had been. I suppose there was a bit of envy in my face, for the lawyer asked if I was also looking for employment, and being answered in the &ihrniative he told me of a stock-broker who wanted bright, active boy. Well, Tom and I both got places that day. He went on his line, 1 on mine, and in time he studied law, was admitted to the bar and became a leading politician, finally going to Congress. 1 remained in the street, learned the mysteries of puts and calls and all the rest of the ways of Wall street, and as you see am now a broker myself and this morning engaged another oSice boy, his predecessor having risen to the dignitv of clerk, as I did once myself." This is the history of many a man who is now prosperous and respected. Of course a sreat deal depends upon the character of the boy whether he succeeds or not. If he is intelligent, active, good tempered and really industrious, that boy's future is assured, for, youns as he is, his employer soon learns that he may be trusted, and as he grows older he is promoted or a better opening it found for him. A boy once walked into the office of John Roach and asked for employment. The famous ship builder, though once a poor boy himself, was so busy with some important estimates that he gave the applicant rather an abrupt and negative answer. The boy had met with several similar an swers that day, yet he was not discouraged. On the walls of the oflice were hang drawings of ships and steamers, and almost on a level with his own head was the sectional plan of an ocean steamer. Iloy-like, he examined these drawings with interest, and there happening to be a piece of paper cn the table, he fell to c ipying the wctioral drawing. While thus employed, Mr. Poach, supposing himself to be alone, began calculating aloud. 'Let me see," said be: "that makes a total of eighty-six tons of steel; now four times eighty-six is " "Three hundred and forty-four," said the boy, imagining himself in school for th j moment. "So it is," replied Mr. Roach, looking at the boy in surprise, for he had forgotten all about him. "Who are you?" "I'm the boy who asked you if you didn't want one." -"Ab, yes; but didn't I say no?" ' Yes, sir." "What have you been doing there?" de manded the ehip-builder, seeing that the boy had defaced the back of a valuable drawins. thoueh the little fellow had to Idea the sheet of paper had anything on the under side. "1 was copvine that drawing, sir: was it any harm?" Mr. Roach, naturally kind hearted, looked at the paper and saw that the boy was a good draughtsman for his age. This and his faniLiarity with the multiplica tion table induced the ship-builder to make further inquiries, which finally led to the boy being given a place. He was sent to the engineer a room, wnere ms laiem aoon developed, and by the time he reached manhood young "oil," as Mr. P.oach humorously called him. became a thorough en gineer, and is now a famous naval designer. An office-boy in the employ of a maker of models for inventors once sat by the stove and listened to a customer describe machine he wished made. The machinist pvamined the drawinzs and saw a defect which would defeat the end in view. Being an honest man, he called attention to the fact, and suggested iuruier siuujr. x uc inventor laid down his plans in disgust, and remarking that he would call for them, went away. Being idle for the moment the boy took the drawings and examined them. When the inventor came back the boy was alone. "I wonder how I can get over the diöculty?" said the man to himself, as he glanced over the plans before putting them in his pocket. "The principle is correct if I can only adopt it." . . "That's easy enough, sir," said the boy. "Eh?" "All you have to do is to lengthen the arm of your crank and so increase your power." It was an inspiratkn, and thus one o the most important improvements in steam engines was decided by the discovery of an office boy, who became a noted in.yen tor himself in after years. Thtre is a great deal of petty crime among boys, the result of bad acquaintances. A boy is noticed by his fellows to have more spending money than they can afford, which, like all ill-gotten wealth, he rncanders in fruit, pies and confectionery. When asked about it he talks about stray postese stamps and similar small plunder, the consequence being more peculations in otter offices. The stealing of postage stamps was at one time a serious matter, the fact beicg discovered in the arrest of a sidewalk peddler in Fulton street, who wa fnuna to db DUViDZ nearly iw wuiw a day from office boys, who received only half the face value of the stamps, inepo lite found that nearly 300 boys were oa th:atddl8r tlist.

When the district messenger service was o-farized it was rightly considered a public toon, but the public has almost ruinei this important field of boy service. At first the boys were contented with the weekly stipend paid then by the company, bit
when customers would throw down a quarter or half a dollar and tell the messenger he mfght keep the change these boys grew demoralized. Then began a sene3 of small overcharges and next an avoidance of payirg car fares. Boys in uniform may be seen acy day stealicg rides cn horse cars or sittirg on trucks to enable them to pocket the fares given them. This creates delay and explains the cause tor the present disfatisfaction with the messenger service Tre companies are not to blame, for it is impossible to watch several hundred bojs scattered aroand the city on erranda. How often it happens that a gentleman sends his wife a message about some domestic matter, only to reach home before the boy who started an hour ahead of him. The reason for these messengers becoming bad i3 the fact that they go into all sorts of places. Younar as they are, they are compelled to deliver messages at vile resort, bar-rooms or gambling dens, and become familiar with every phase of Jow life. There is no worse scaool for a boy than the duty of a uniformed messenger. The ßtreet boys are a peculiar clas?. Dependent entirely upon their own resources, and having no references, they live by their wits. Some tak to selling newspapers, and there are nearly 3 OOJ in that branch of business, two-thirds of them being without homes except the lodrlnghcuses. These boys also work in the markets or black boots in the hours when there are no newspapers to sei1., thoueh this latter employment is now almost entirely sb?oibed by the Italians. The homeless bey is self-reliant and generally honest, but sharp by his constant rubbing on the stern side of city ife. Fieiuently a homeless boy makes his mark in the world. One of this class became a newsboy, and being industrious and frugal, saved money enough to start a street stacd. His business grew, and he emplojed other boys on cars and in the street. F nally he purchased the exclusive lieht for his boys to enter the Third avenue cars. They wore a lettered ribbon in their caps to distinguish tnem. and at one time this boy, though only fourteen years of age, had over fifty boys on his pay-roll. Then he contracted for the right to sell newspape rs on a leading trunk railway from Jent-y City to Buflalo. but his career was suddenly cut short by his being killed on a train. It was then found that he had some $13,000 in bank, and he lived long enough to make a will and appoint trustees, so that his savings might support and educate a youneer sister. This boy died in his eighteenth year, and had he lived he would undoubtedly have been a very rich man. Knough has here been written, however, to show tha1 the working boys of New York are an important element of our city life, for the majority of them become use ful citizens, and frequently successful members of society. lenatlonalled Americans. Loudon Letter to the World. Some of the Americans here who are the most conspicuous do not represent in a complimentary way their own country. People who are asbamel of their own country, or who are disposed to go about apologizing for it, belong to the class of people ashamed of their own families. I heard a conversation illustrating this type in front of the Haymarket Theater last night between a denationalized American and an Lnglishman, while we were waiting for the doors to be opened for the perform ance of "Man and Wife." I did not know that the denationalized was an American until he admitted the disgraceful fact with great deprecation and numerous apologies. He bad the most exaggerated accent, and employed the broadest a's where even ordinary Englishmen flat them, and used with ereat frequency the greatest variety of Loudon colloquialisms. Ia the course of the conversation the denationalized began to discuss Mrs. Fotter, and be said: "Some of these Americans are wonderfully clever, and this woman may make a hit." The English man replied in a sort of doubtful way: "You speak of her as if she were a foreigner. Is she not a eountry-woman of yours? Some one told me that you are an American." The denationalized hastened to respond: "Yes: I am an American born, but I have been fifteen years away from my country, and have completely lost all of my corir.f crious and acquaintance there. The greater part of the time I have lived in Loncon. I believe to-day that I am more of a genuine Londoner than you are. I am such a devoted admirer of the English and their customs, and I have lived their life so long, that I often forget, unless ren.ir.ded of it by a question, that I am an American." The Board of Trustees of Chattanooga University ha9 decided to respect and obey the admonition of the Board of Managers of the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At the beginning of the next school year, therefore, negro scholars will be admitted and Professor Caulkins will be dismissed. Nevertheless, the trustees are understood to feel very sore over the way in which their policy had been overturned by the church, end though they say nothin about resigning, it is quite possible they may do so, but whether they do or not, it is the opinion of many intelligent Methodists that the success of the university has been eeriouslv impaired, for in the present stato of feeling in the South no institution which admits colored pupils can hope to retain aDy white pupils. . The French Protestants have not hitherto been famous in connection with foreign missions. They have had. perhaps, too mnch to do with themselves. The Congo has for sometime been claiming their attention, but they have been slow to act. The Paris Missionary Society has at length taken the initial step toward founding a mission on the Congo. It has sent a fitting man to exolore the district and to fiz upon a suitable place for the establishment of headquarters. Some anxiety is manifested by the members ot tne society wno nave thus taken action as to the needed lanas. It remains to be seen whether those amoag the Protestant party who have so long been urging the missionary society to begin the work will now give proof of their zeal by the liberality of their contribu tions.
