THERE

are now eighteen regular lines

Yet notwithstanding this immense fleet, the capacities of Che lines are so crowded at certain seasons of the year that tourists are already purchasing tickets for the spring voyages. The stream of travel from this •ountry was very large last year but is expected to be even greater this.

Faw persons have any adequate oonoeptlon^of tho magnitude of the life insurance business In this country. The statement that between thirty and forty millions of dollars are paid annually In losses seems almost Incredible and yet this vast sum is distributed each year among the holders of policies in the various companies. It is a great business, Involving vast amounts of capital and giving employment to many thousands of people.

THB fact can no longer be disguised that Don Cameron cannot carry out his programme of giving Pennsylvania to •Grant in the Chicago convention. A powerful anti-Grant party has developed

AFTER having been set on three times by the 8upreme Court of Maine, the Fusion Legislature has finally concluded to discontinue the farce of meeting and adjourning as the legislative assembly of the State, and bsfe adjourned until August, which probably means forever.

A CONVENTION of persons Interested in prison reform work has been called to meet at Indianapolis on February 12th. The object to be considered is the establishment of an industrial home for ex-oonvicts. It is said a similar institution in New York City Is accomplishing great good in the way of reolaiming hardened criminals. The work is a worthy one and should enlist the sympathy and services of all bumarltarians.

A SUIT is pending in New York for 100,000 damages for Injuries sustained from eating ham sold by the defendant in which were trichines. The defendant sets up as defences that the plaintiff was gnilty of negligence in eating the ham raw, while ordinary cooking would have destroyed the trichinsa. The plaintiff moved to strike out this defense upon the ground that raw meat will not produce trichinosis, but is good and wholesome food that ordinary eooking will not destroy triohinae and that meats sold for domestio use are presumed to be sound and wholesome and the purchaser is not bound to analyze and inspect them to see if they are fit for use. The court reserved its decision.

THE

Rev. John Hall, of New York,

having been charged (or rather credited) with receiving about $10,000 in wedding fees in addition to his regular salary, the good doctor makes haste to say that he has never seen a larger wedding fee than $100 and that his perquisities from this source have been estimated at about $9,500 too large. Dr. Hall is not the first or only man who has been overestimated in this way, nothing being more common than to exaggerate the fees of professional men of all classes. If lawyers actually received all the large fees with which common rumor credits them they would be able to retire on a com petency after a few years of practice, instead of pegging away industriously to gain a livelihood until old age robs them their powers. But rumor delights in such stories and makes them often tiineB out of very small pieces of cloth

sands of small speculators throughout the country have been swamped. As usual 'the market was controlled by a few large gamblers who permitted the

ily by continued purchases, until, as of course they foresaw,',the,market should finally break and they would reap the benefit. It is the old story over again and it seems as if it would go on to endless repetition. Men of small means imagine they see a short road to fortune in dealing in margins, and before they know it they are bankrupts. An experienced operator on 'change was heard to remark recently that of all those who were engaged in the margin business a few years ago hardly one survived. They had gone to the wall. He said farther that/^the chances of making or losing in this sort of speculation were about evenly balanced, and that the gratification realized from making a few hundred dollars did not begin to equal the regret'experienced when a similar loss was sustained. For that reason he said it was a bad game to play at. But as with the lottery business, it is hard to get some people to see that margins are not a profitable kind of investment. §»\C

THE

new light which is being thrown

upon Charles Dickens' life by the publication of certain of his letters not hitherto given to the world, reveals noble qualities in the great novelist's heart which have been denied to him by many. For Instanoe, Dickens has been severely condemned for his attitude towards religion and has been denounced as a scoffer and an infidel. The publication of a letter to his son Harry, who bad then Just left home for college, shows bow unjust are any such charges. The closing words of that letter ought to be familiar to every lover of Dickens. He says: "Asyour brothers have gone away one by one,

have written to each

of them what 1 am now going to write to you. You know that you have never been hampered with religious forms of restraint, and that with mere unmeaning forms

have no sympathy. But

must strongly and afiectlonately im press upon you the priceless value of the New Testament, and the study of that book as the one unfailing guide in life. Deeply respecting it, and bowing down before the character of our Saviour as separated from the vain constructions and inventions of men, you can not go very wrong, and will always preserve at heart a true spirit of veneration and hnmUlty. Similarly I impress upon yon the habit of saying a Christian prayer every night and morning. These things have stood by mo all through my life, and remember that I Med to render the New Testament intelligible to you and lovable by you when yon were a mere baby." These are golden words, and such as the most devout Christians may speak to their sons for all time to come, without hope of being able to Improve upon them.

Beecher is of the opinion that "if a man can learn to love tobacco he can learn to love anything under God's heaven."

OVERWORK.

It was James Stifling who Bald that "the American works himself to death." What with overworking his brain and overexclting his nervous system, he brings down upon him a whole brood of fell disorders, of which dyspepsia, consumption, and insanity are among the worst. That excessive workjwithout sufficient exercise and reoreatlon, proves the physical ruin oflmsny men, there can be no doubt. Having put from them the old fashioned notion that labor is a curse, the people of to-day have gone to the opposite extreme o! consld ering it an unmixed blessing. Foreign era have remarked for years past that Americans have few holidays, and do not seem to know what£to do with the few they have. We know|how to work but are poor|hands at',pi ay. The profes slonal or business man becomes so absorbed in hiB work that he carries it with him to his home and has three quarters of his mind on it white talking to his wife or playing with his children. He dreams about it, and if he wakes during the night (and this class Of men are proverbially light sleepers) the business of yesterday and of the.'morrow rushes upon his mind like an avtelanoba.

His mind, thus kept in a state {^constant tension,{loses its elasticMjJr' and buoyancy, and refuses to work with the easy vigor which characterizes a Jfcprfsetly healthy one. His spirits, too, DeoapM depressed by this treadmill fetyle of living, and the world,takes on ^somber and gloomy aspect.

Nor is it difficult to fall into*such a habit of living. Our work grows upon us, we become interested int thing! in proportion to our knowledge of thgn»| and as our knowledge of any busiries| increases we find ourselves becoming more absorbed in it. Then there is the stimulus of ambition and the pressure of enlarging demands upon our means to urge us forward. What wonder that the struggle is not to keep ourselves at work but to keep from work? The young man promises himself and his sweetheart before marriage that be will make it a rule of his wedded life to leave the cares of business at the door of his office or counting room when he turns from it to his home but how soon the promise is broken. The clouded brow and abstracted air speak plainer than words and his wife soon finds the trouble and worry of the.day written upon his face in unmistakable charac-: ters.

That this method of living is not wise and does not pay, we all know. But, like the poet, "We know the right, and we approve it, too:

Abhor the wrong, and still the wrong pursue." Instead of tnaking our business the support and minister of our happiness, we make ourselves the slaves of our business. That was ar fine tho

onght to regard our calling as dier does his SWOB$, to be worn there is occasion for its use, and ac other times to be laid aside. We shall come to this idea more and more as the years go by, and shall learn to work in reason and rest betimes and enjoy the good things which our labor brings us.

SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS. Speaking of the ^coming of the season of Lent, and the closing of£the ball and party season, and the general suspension of soolal entertainments, the N. Y. Sun says:

But though fashionable society is now so brilliant, and its gatherings are so distinguished by real elegance, there never was a time when the social entertainments of New Yorkjwere so simple as this winter, in large part. The most frequent form of entertainment continues to be the afternoon tea. These teas are now occurring by the score every day, and they enable people to fulfil social duties and return social oourtesies without the burden of anxiety and labor which was the vexation of the hospitable in the old days when a party might destroy the order and peace of a household for a week together.

The number of weddings, too, already over and about to come off, is remarkably large. With the improvement in the financial market there has come a renewed and most delightful aotlvity in the matrimonial exchange, and the number of eligible bachelors will be decreased this year to an extent which has bad BO parallel since the dark days of 1873. This is not at all surprising. The wonder rather Is, with society so blossoming with maidenly loveliness, that even business distress could restrain the ardor of sentiment.

Added to the boundless charms and the infinite variety of graces of mind and person with which nature has so generodsly endowed them, these young women have their attractiveness so increased and enhanced by the most tasteful raiment we have known for a generation, that to resist the appeal they make to the masculine appreciation of beauty is to confess you reel a dolt and a mole, unworthy to enjoy the best fruits of civilization. _____

SOLID TR VTH. '. Lafayette Journal.

The great bulk of the taxes are paid by the multitude of small taxpayers. This, too, Is the class upon whom the burdens of taxation bear most heavily. It is not the capitalist who finds it hardest to raise the money to pay bis taxes, but the small farmer, and tradesman, and mechanic—the widow, with her five acre field, and the small fermer, with his lorty or eighty acres, off of the !arge

roducts of which he must support a and increasing femily, and who, perhaps, has lost one or two crops through past unfavorable seasons, which have involved him in debt.

A LAW OF HUMAN NATURE. Rockville Tribune. The student of human nature will find much food for thought in the lately published interviews on the presidency. Observe that nearly all the Quakers and Methodist preachers are for Grant, while at least half, probably more, of the soldiers are for a man who was not in the army, as Blaine or Sherman. By operation of the same law of nature, women who can't fight are fascinated by a man who can and timid children select the biggest and roughest man about the house for their particular admiration.

DBATH ON TBBBTAQE. Various are the methods by whioh dramatists nowadays take the lives 'of actors, but the people will never tire of tbe|good old-fashioned slam-whanging stage fight. It is like no other fight in the world. The hero pulls out his sword, stamps, and yells "Aha-a-a, villian, we have met at last. Now sirrsh-b, I have thee upon the hip." Then the hettvy vllliaa draws, glares upon the hero, and strikes an attitude, while the boys in the gallery hold their breath. Then they work around eaoh other, glaring and chewing. Then they approach and begin whanging eaoh others swords as no fighters everjfcdid or will do in the world off the stage. There must be plenty of noise,( dashing of swords, stamping, and no end of fire flying. Then the hero makes a terrific lunge, and holds his sword I opposition while they glare some more at each other. Then the villain thrusts, sfter some more slamwhanglng. The hero slips down and on his^back clear across the stage, pounds swords with the villain, amid the frantic yells and cat calls of the wildly excited gods. Then he struggles up and the slamwhanging Jtegins again, till at last the hero sticks his sword under the arm of the villain, who gives a spasmodic "ugh I ouch I ungbl and whirls around three times, elntches at bis throat, grabs a handful ofJWaistcoat on the left side, and finally fens with as great a slap as possible to the floor, after which the hero places his foot upon him and holds up his reeking blade, while the curtain slowly fells. Such istbe old fashioned stage death, varied occas3ionally with the poisoned cup. Now the public, in its insatiable demands for newness and originality, often puzzles the dramatist to devise a way to kill off his victim. In reply to the question, the other day, of a New York Star reporter: "How do actors die on the stage?" Mr. G. A. Graver, stage manager of Haverly's

Brooklyn Theater, said: In shooting scenes, young and inexperienced actors will fall before you see the flash or bear the report of the pistol shot. To stand without flinching while a pistol is aimed at you is not very easy. In our early days we fired cork balls at each other, to overcome our nervousness. Shooting accidents are numerous on the stage. 1 need not remind you of the latest fatal case in Baltimore. Once we took six muskets from the property room and found slugs in every one of them. As to myself I have suffered all manners of death, figuratively, in the past twenty-five years. This is the first season in that long period that I am not acting. There were heavy pieces in which I had to die every night for weeks. I do not approve of Salvini's death scenes, nor of the hospital atmosphere on the stage. Death from corrosive poison is preceded by excruciating pains. W. Goodall personated, at Barnum's Museum, a drunkard suffering from delirium tremens.

No doubt theaotor who has to die oonslders it his duty to study the character of his particular ailment. Miss Croizette, a French actress, who died of poison in "Sphinx," made special studies In hospitals. She munobed soap or chalk to produce foam at the corners of the mouth, and had green light thrown on her face. It was a ghastly sight. Hanging is too revolting, and therefore no longer represented on the stage—at least not on ours. In classical tragedies in France no death is allewed to take place in the open scene.

HE WILL WED.

REV. DB. MADEIRA'S PARISHIONERS REFUSE TO LET HIM MARRY THE WOMAN OF HIS

OHOIOE.

A sensational flutter has been occasioned in church circles in Kansas City by theaotion which has been taken regarding the proposed marriage of a pulpit divine. Not very long ago Rev. Dr. A. D. Madeira, pastor of the Central Presbyterian churon, announced that he contemplated wedding Mrs. Rebecca Diggs, of Boonville. The reverend gentleman has twice before been in wedlock, and has a family of nine children, all of whom reside in the city, and several of whom are grown up and are highly respected members of sooiety. Mrs. Diggs is tbe daughter of Judge C. H. Smith, of Cooper county, and is a sister of Mrs. Thomas E. Tutt, of St. Louis. She is about thirty years of age, and is spoken of as a very handsome and fascinating woman. Her family connections are of the very best, and she has always moved In the first society in Central Missouri. Tbe Rev. Madeira is somewhat over fifty years old. When It became understood that he intended marrying Mrs. Diggs serious objections were interposed by members of his congregation on tbe ground that Mrs. Diggs had been divorced from a former husband. The feeling against this prospective matrimonial alliance assumed such proportions and Buch a shape that it was deemed best to have a church session on the subject, and this was accordingly done. Arguments pro and con were made, then the pastor was heard in defense of his contemplated change of life. He made voluminous scriptural quotations, and cited other secular authority to show that marriage with a divorced woman was right in the eyes of God and man. His defense was not only able but pathetic. Many of his hearers wept. Still there remains a strong feeling against the marriage, and it is probable that still further action will be taken by the church. Dr. Madeira has filled his pastorage for a number of years, and is highly respected, his congregation is one of the largest and most fashionable in that city. The affair above stated has caused much talk. It Is believed tbe doctor will pursue his purpose regardless of consequences.

I went to see six Chinese pirates be headed yesterday. The open square

ditlons, and a few Europeans among them. The prisoners were the most forlorn starvling ever saw, and betray ed no more fear at their approaching fate than if they were to be spectators of an execution. A huge Tartar officiated as executioner. He was armed with a native sword, and stood on small platform in the center of the square. After the criminals, with their hands tied behind, had been taken upon the stage, the executioner took one of the pirates by the arm, brought him to the edge of the platform, hit him a sharp rap with his hand on the head, which caused the poor fellow to bow his head, and then the executioner's sword went up, was poised in the air a full half minute, and with a sweep the glittering blade descended, and the poor criminal's head went flying off in one direction and the body in another. One by one the others met their fete in the same way, the Tartar making a very short, business like lob of it, merely turning to receive the plaudits of the crowd after each head rolled off, and responded bv a grin which showed every one of his teeth. Bat the stolidity of the poor wretches was beyond description. Not a muscle quivered, and even when waiting for blade of the executioner to fell, I oould not detect a sign of emotion. The crowd seemed to enjoy the sight immensely, and set up a yell of delight at each cut of the Tartar's sword. VANDERBILT AS A HIGH LIVER

Correspondence Philadelphia Times. I took a good look at William H. Vanderbilt yesterday. He waxeth stout and grows old apace. You see the old commodore kept his son on that Staten Island farm, where be dus and delved while bis good wife milked and churned, until the meridian of life was passed and tbe first half of their century was gone. Coming to New York, wealth and position at a bound, with a repressed nature and rural go-to-bed-at-9-o'clock habits, our friend William gazed in amazement at tbe expansive opportunity that unfolded itself before him. He was fond of eating, and anew bill of fare was on bis table—be ate. He was fond of drinking, and hitherto unexplored cellars disclosed their choicest vintage to bis thirsty throat—he drank. He had without knowing It a social temperament, and suddenly men and women were at bis service—he plunged. The consequences are perceptible, for be Is a big eater, a good drinker, and one of the lolliest dogs in tbe pound. He works like a beaver—desk work—and Is fast pegging ont. His obituary was long ago placed in well regulated pigeon holes.
