MINISTERIAL VACATIONS, cation is to help Ubrarians^
The question of ministerial vacations
is before the oountry, and whether or
In spite of the annual outpouring of cheap wit and drivel against the 'practice of clergymen leaving their churches for a time in mid-Bummer, the practice continues and is becoming more prevalent, we believe, each year. As the Lafayette Leader, sensibly, remarks the which goes up against the clergyman's re£f- iS mainly from those who

themselves. But the n^tt®11* doors of the church are closed religious longings are not to be appeased Bbort of two or three sermonB a day." They suddenly become aware of the minister's power (whigh they never recognized before) and are in convulsions of terror lest the devil get th6 upper hand in the deadly contest.
If wo were a minister we are morally certain that we should want a vacation, and we think that most right minded people will agree that the minister is entitled to a brief respite from his labors in the torrid heat of midsummer. If he is a faithful and sincere pastor he has had severe draughts upon his intellectual resources,and his mind requires a season of rest in which to recuperate. No man can do intellectual work of a high order if he is kept on a "grind" continually. It haa never yet been done ^successfully, and never will be. When an author finishes a book or a story, he cannot plunge immediately Into another, but has to take a season of rest. So the lawyer, when he has come out of along and hotly contested trial, finds himself prostrated for a time, and gains strength for a new contest by going on a hunting or fishing excursion. He is compelled to reet. This is true of the worker in any department of intellectual labor.
It is not true then—the ad captmdum mtlffus argument—that the church loses by the temporary absence of the pastor. It, as well as he, is the gainer, since he comes back rested and refreshed and able to administer with increased efficiency to the wants of his people. Therefore we say let the minister have his vacation, not an unreasonable one, but such a rest as will give him a sense of refreshment and strength for the arduous duties of his calling. The churches will not be the worse for K, nor the devil the stronger.
CONVENTION OF LIBRARIANS. Last week a body known as the American Library Association held a lour days meeting In Boston. It seems that this is the first body of the kind that was ever organised, and is one of the results of the centennial year. It is really a convention of librarians, and his been found so valuable in its results that a similar association has been formed In England. The originator of the enterprise, and present secretary, is Mr. Melv\l Dlney, an enthusiastic, and self-de-nying Boston gentleman. The object of the association is two fold. The first Is economical, that Is, "to enable libra riaas to do their work more easily and at less expense." When the Terre Haute Free library shall be established, by paying two dollar*, the librarian, or any que else, may beoome a member of the association and procure ail library supplies (cards, shelf lists, accession books, book covers, book supports, revolving book shelves, binders, number*, call slips, in fact everything necsssaryto manage a library) at greatly reduced prises. It is easy bo see that by co-oper-stion among libraries all these articles could be procured much cheaper than if

And whatever is saved in running expenses leaves so much the more With which to bny books. Another object of the asso-
work»
-not the preachers ought to have a rest Is a matter of discussion among clergy- .. men and in the religious and secular ®®c
press. The question was considered
both pro and con, in a recent conference of Baptist ministers in New York. One of the speakers was of the opinion that ministers do not work harder than other professional men and can not rightfully claim a vacation on that ground neither was it true that they could not get con' gregations in summer. Some preachers be asserted, close their churches in summer in order to give the impression that their churches are stylish and their congregations able to give them a couple months of idle pleasure without deducting anything frcm their salaries. He further deprecated what he was pleased to term the "abominable occu pation" of fishing by those who did take a vacation. He thonght they could put their time to better use in helping some "weak country church. It is not hazarding much tojpresume that the reverend gentleman who advanced these views is one of the kind of preachers whose congregations would cheerfully spare them for about six months in the year. Two other speakers maintained with the first that the ministerial calling was not more exhausting than secular pursuits, while a fourth made the startling and, we fear, somewhat exaggerated declaration, that "in three months a a minister does harder work than any lawyer in New York City does in a year." Manifestly this worker in the vineyard knows much more about his own calling than he does about the profession of law. Other speakers were firm believers in vacations, finding in them beneficial results both physical and mental. These declared their intention, not only of taking vacations, but of including iishing in theiij list of re re at on

The Secretary says, very sensibly: "It is only too evident that public libraries are not yet all they should be and to develop and improve them is the task to which the association now addresses itself. How this is to be done there is not space to set forth here, even if all that is possible could be foreseen. But one thing may be just mentioned. The association intends to prepare (by means of a oommittee) and to publish from time to time hand books of the best reading on various subjects, with short explanatory and critical notes. Expert ence has amply shown that nothing (ex eept personal influence, which the asso elation also hopes to foster) tends so much to raise the character of the read ing in any community as showing that oommunity what is the best reading There are plenty of persons who wish to improve themselves if tbey only knew how and the association believes that it is the duty, and that it is within the power of the libraries as a whole to show them hww. Single libraries work ing by themselves find that impossible which all working together can easily accomplish."
The reports of the doings of this association have interested us, and so led to this editorial notice, because there are evidently practical benefits to be derived from it by those who are interested in library matters here. It will give us pleasure to put any who desire it in communication with the officers.
AND now Nast is after our Dan. In Harper's Weekly of this week he represents Daniel as dismissing from the service of the country, anJ of the Democratic party, Senators Bayard and Kernan, two of the purest men and ablest statesmen in the party—excepting, of course, Daniel himself—because of their opposition to the Silver Bill. The breeches area little short, and there is an unseemly yawn between the vest and the pants, but in spite oi these defects one who has seen Mr. Voorhees cannot fail to recognize the whiskers,
plaintive piety so habitual to Daniel when he is pleading the cause of the poor tax payer, and the downtrodden South, and repelling the charge that he i« ,not the very dearest and most patriotic and self sacrificing friend the soldier ever With tbls look of ipjmrcfl Innocence and piety there Is mingled an expression of firmness which speaks, not only in the countenance, but also the attitude and gesture. Without deigning to look at his former companions, he gracefully but firmly waves them away, seeming to say, "Gentlemen, there is no use in making any fuss about the matter, you must go." Probably at no time ia his life, except from 1861 to 1865, has the name of the "Tall Sycamore" been so prominently before the American people as at present. Doubtless he esteems it an honor to be caricatured by Nast.
GOING off to the seashore or the mountains is very well for those who can go, but the majority have to stay at home and sweat it through. What can be said to these? Well, in the first place, don't aggravate your misery by constantly contrasting your lot with that of the fortunate few who have been able to get away. It is doubtful whether you are muoh worse off than they after all. Many people have learned how to get through the "hot season" with tolerable comfort at home indeed we have heard oertain persons go so far as to insist that "there is no place like home" in hot weather, and that they prefer to stay there. Great advantage may be gained from oorrect habits of mind and body. Avoid heating food and stimulating drinks, bathe frequently, take plenty of sleep at regular hours, use no iced drinks of any kind, and keep in an equable and temperate frame of mind. A faithful observance of these simple rules will go far towards banishing the terror and dread which hang over the dog days. The time will soon spin by and in a month from now the worst will be over. The cooler nights of August and September will bring refreshing sleep and you will quickly and gracefully round into the glorious autumn none the worse for "the heated term."
THKRK is sound sense and practical wisdom in the declaration of Harper's Weekly, that "The first thing even for party meo to do towards the correction of whatever endangers the party is to refuse to 'swallow things' merely be cause they have a party label, and plainly to condemn any leader who shows himself unfit to lead." A Judi dons exercise of the divine rights of grumbling and of bolting is one of the best correctives that can be applied to parties, and there are times when all parties need the application.

THE forthcoming rejjort of the signal service bureau on the subject of tornadoes will show that it prefers the valleys to the high ground and that frame houses are safer from its attaoks than brick or stone ones. The former are oarried away bodily, leaving the inhabitants uninjured in the cellar, provided they were thoughtful enough to go there, while the brick or stone houses are tumbled down with strong chances in favor of the inmates being buried in the ruins. _______
Rev. T. DeWitt TaImage having converted all the sinners in his own country, and, thirsting for more religious glory, is at present engaged upon an extensive raidjagainst the cohorts of Satan in England. He preached to 20,000 people in London last Sunday. The press is divided in its views upon him. If tbey can appreciate the modern style of sensational preaching he will doubtless give them of plenty of it.
DICK THOMPSON may. be a thorough going navigator upon the briny deep, but his Mississippi venture has, thus far, proved very unsuccessful. The Wachusett is now lying at Vicksburg, being unable to proceed further, from the shallowness of the water. After all the trouble and expense it is probable the St. Louis people will not yet get a sight of a real ocean steamer. And the thousands of boys who yearn with a passionate longing for "a life on the ocean wave," will be doomed to disappointment and the miserable existence of a life on shore. f,
A WRITER in the New York Sun gives some valuable information as to the best means of keeping out of the way of the lightning. Briefly stated it is this: go into the house when a storm is rising, as the lightning frequently strikes before the rain falls shut the doors and windows and keep away from them, also from bell-wires, stove pipes, chimneys, heaters and mirrors. The dry air in the house is a better conductor of lightning than the damp air outside and any draught of air invites it. A good lightning rod three-quarters of an inch through, with a point above the chimney or pinnacle of the roof, and running into the ground to permanetly moist soil, is an effectual protector.

THB Athenseum Bureau of Literature in New York city, and its objects, may not be known to many writers who would like to avail themselves of its assistance. It was established in 1877 and its purpose is to act as an agent between authors and publiahers. The author sends his MSS. to the bureau, which, by printed lists, advises the whole publishing fraternity of the title of the article or book, the class—as art, criticism, fiction, poetry, etc.—to which it belongs, the name or nom de plume of the author, about the length of the MSS., and the prioe, if desired, for which it is offered. For this service a fee of from 50 oents to f3 is charged on ordinary MSS. and from |2 to
f6
on book
MSS., and if a sale is effeoted a commission of ten per cent is charged. The Bareau also undertakes to find employment for writers, either in journalism or otherwise, for a fee of fifty cents, and ten per oent. on the proceeds of the first month's engagement. The current list of MSS. sent out embraoes articles on various subjects, ranging in price from |2.00 to |200. Full information can be obtained by those desiring it by addressing the Bureau, at 37 Park Row, New York.
THB current number of Harper's Weekly contains an illustration in Nast's happiest vein. It represents the artist himself, seated In his study, with slippers on his feet, a fan in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. A student lamp is on the table beside him, about which the bugs are flying wildly* Before him lie several bills from the butcher, tailor, etc., and a note containing these words: "Sir: We want yon to draw something funny for the next issue of the weekly." On the book shelves are heavy volumes marked ^'Congressional record," "Debates," etc., while allattmodhim tibedSoor is littered with newspapers filled with accounts of suicides, railroad accidents, murders, political news, tornadoes and similar solemnities. In the midst of it all sits Nast, the picture of distress, his eyes al mart starting from their sockets in the intensity of his effort to conjure np something funny to make a drawing of. Theoarlea'ure Is simply inimitable.

THE most beautiful woman in all England is said to be Mrs. Laughtry, who has, among other charms, a brow delicately arched, eyes of sapphire blue "set in an orb of tender curve," and soft brown hair.

AMERICA never bad better crops than those of this year, while the reports from Europe state they are almost a failure in that part of the world, the result of which news has been a speedy rise in the price of wheat in this country, some people predicting that in six months it will be fl.25 per bushel. Times are improving here, notwithstanding the fact that the balance of trade is in our favor. 4 I
ENGLAND'S hard times continue and grow worse instead of better. A writer in a London paper states that he went into two business houses of long standing and in the busiest streets of London, whose proprietors told him that not a single customer had entered their doors during the day—a foct unparalleled in their experience. The trouble is largely attributed to the inefficiency of the Disraeli government,, and public attention is again turning to Gladstone,

DESTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS. Harper's Magazine for August. Of a desolation which is recorded far back of the days of Roman or even of Grecian glory2 we read that "a man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick tree'." In the days when American forests were considered practically limitless, our fathers were far too famous for lifting up axes upon the thick trees, and the resultant destruction is even now upon ns like the Philistines upon Sampson. This destruction comes upon us in many forms, most of which are, in fact, rapidly and terribly cumulative. Here is a beautiful stream of water, for example, which was a great element of wealth to the region through which it flowed. It migbt not only have continued to be so, but to have gained in usefulness of being either dead or surely and swiftly passing away. The numberless little hollows on the hills where were the springs which grew into rivulets to feed it have been stripped of the moistureeconomizing verdure with which the Creator clothed them, and so the springs are dry, and the rills no longer murmur their once glad songs of labor as they hastened down the valleys to turn the mill-wheels of mechanical industry. In thiB one matter of destruction of hydraulic power with which we have been already smitten, hundreds of millions of dollars of annual damage has been and is the actual result. That this drying up of the streams is attributable not only chiefly to deforesting, but almost solely to it, com-mon-aense—which is, in fact, the very es sence of both fact and philosophy—must .lain to very candid mind. Rain feeds the springs. To feed them economically. it should be gentle and frequent, not violent and at long intervals. Intelligent forest engineering would require that such portion of hills be clothed with a mantle of green trees as by its cooling influence it Would more frequently so contract the aerial sponge as togive us showers at short intervals. This is the case in forest-clothed, beautiful Britain.

They will soon find their counterpart in all the* characteristics in America, unless we rouse ourselves with a will Wmiderstand and to master these evils. Forite streams available for our icturing interests, also, by and almost innumerable ,_aves and of moss, which sat on the earth like a huge overlying sponge, to check the sudden rash of the JZinfhi into the vallers and down Into the streams. Very rapidly in recent years are mournful instances multiplying in which these manufacturing gtrcams are transformed by freshets
of service. Thus the forest, by increasing "D T^IVT A T\ TVT T7 the frequency of the gentle rains, and so ill i^i 1 J\ 1 I decreasing the volume and the length of intervals between showers, also by regulating their too sudden plunge into tha streams, is the great regulator provided by nature for their control in the service of man. All over the manufacturing portions of our country we may find instances where large amounts of capital have been invested to develop and make available oar once magnificent and almost numberless hydraulic powers. Trusting in what seemed a eertainty of employment for themselves and their families, thousands of skilled laborers have in many cases confidingly made their hom& at a point where tie stream seemed abundantly powerful and permanent. Then, as the summers came and went, the river seemed to sicken, and grow more and more feeble, till there would be a week or two each year in which the spindles and the looms would be idlent. As time went on these periods of idleness have lengthened into months, in which the labor struggle for bread and clothing, for means to pay for the humble little home, or debts incurred in sickness, was compelled to be suspended. The cause of all this was that the sources of the river's life had been destroyed or injured by the ignorance, cupidity, or recklessness of men who "lifted up axes on the thick trees" far up the mountains, where the mill-streams had their birth.
