A COMPLIMENT TO AMERICAN DIPLOMACY
The British Government is at last waking up
to the necessity of having talented representa-
tves at Washington to compete with our Amer
lean statesmen. Hitherto. superannuated old
fogies. or younger sons. with no particular
merit but capacity for pale ale and roast beef,
have been thought by self-sufficient John Bull
fully able to twirl the Yankee nation around
their thumbs. Now, however. they see their
mistake, and the policy is urged of raising the
British embassy at Washington to that dignity
which rightfully belongs to it. They say that
it is of no use to consider Washington of less
consequence than Lisbon or Munich and de-
mand that the next ambassador shall be man
of acknowledged talent and ofhigh rank Lord
Carlisle. Lord Granville and Lord John Russell
are spoken off each of these would be recon-
mended to the American people by high talents
and estimable characters.

super-excellent. Woodwork seemed inspired
by it; for. after taking draught he set his glass
upon the table, and smacking his lips declared
that Mallory's sQu de uie was superior TO any
that he had ever tasted. No" said Mallory,

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOREToID N
THE BIBLE This was the subject of lecture
delivered by Mr. Pitts, in the Tabernacle New
York ntly. The lecture demonstrated that
the rise OF great nationality was promised in
an age of intelligence. energy and locomotion,
and argued that this was not literally the res
toration Of the Jews, but the prophecy was rea-
lied in the political and religious organization
of the United States. That this country arose
when and where it was promised, at the end Of
1890 prophetic days from the destruction OF
Jerusalem. which period terminated on the 4th
of fully. I776. He said that the land pictured
in the prophecy of Daniel, was to be inhabited
by people gathered out of all nations: that it
was to be located bewteen two seas-the Eastern
and Western--that its cities and village should
have neither walls nor gates. nor bars. and that
ii was to be first visited by the ships of Spain !:
that emigration should come for the freedom OF
worshipping God. and that ii was to be ieepub-
C, and that this Republic should pc an epoch
in the history of humanity. to learning. agri-
culture. commerce and trade: that the United
States was the stone kingdom promised by
Danie-the man child born of the Virgin woman
Of the Wilderness-the land shadowing with
wings. In fact. that this great country and
Government was a child Of Providence, and
was nurtured and raised up as the model Gov
eminent of the world. to which the empires Of
the earth would finally conform. Bnt before
Republicanism became worldwide. the great
battle of civil and religious liberty or one side,
and ecclesiastical despotsm on the other would
come off on the field of Arma geddon. True or
false. the speaker evidently placed his argu-
ments clearly and logically before an appre-
ciating audience.-Neo York Paper

''The Pen and the Press BLESSED alliance, combined
To soften the heart and enlghten the mind;
For that to the treasures Of knowledge gave birth,
And this sent them forth to the ends of the earth;
Their battles for truth were triumphant indeed
And the rod Of the tyrant was snapped like reed.

WHY SATAN NEVER DIsTURBs A WOMAN
Mahommedans relate the following story as
an authentic aud Veritable piece of tradition,
Illustrative of the fact that the Devil himself
has duties to perform in the world, and all
things would go wrong if be were idle, and ne
glectd them
In the days of Mahommed, there was an
Arab who had pretty wife The devil form
ed himself into so exact and accurate a like
ness of her husband, that she could not for the
life of her tell which of the two was her hus-
band Both claimed her, that is the real hus-
band and the devil in bis likeness. The case
excited much interest in the neighhorhood, but
no solution of the difficulty could be obtained
At length the case was brought before his
Majesty the Prophet Mahommed, after lit
tie reflection held up certain earthen pot in his
hand, with spout Ike teapot and said TO them
both:
g Now, whichever is the real husband will
enter This vessel by the spout, and thus estab-
lish his claim to the woman
The Devil, as having more capacity in that
way than the Arap of real flesh and bones en-
tered ct once in the pot as suggested. The mo-
ment he entered. Mahommed closed the ton of
the spout and kept him shut in. By the time
Mahommed had kept him shut up for a few
days, it was ascertained that the world was
getting wrong in all its machinery. Mahommed
was therefore constrained to let the Devil out
of his confinement. to take his necessary manage
ment Of the affairs OF the world But before
restoring him to liberty again, Mahommed ex-
Jorted q solemn promise from him, that he
would never trouble the "fair SEX auy more.
but conine himself to what be could do among
the male sex"
