MORE ON THE WOMAN QUESTION
We quote the subjoined just and earnest
remarks from the Springfield, Mass,
Republican:
It is all incontrovertible fact that man
as man, woman as woman, each have
their distinctive sphere, and it is mon
strosity for either sex to intrude upon the
peculiar duties and privileges of the
other But it is also true that there is
world of endeavor, of thought, of as
piration, alike common to both, where
men and women meet simply as souls.
In its apprehension Of the beautiful, its
yearning for light, its longing for the
spiritual, its wild outcry for the immor-
tai, the soul has no SEX But sex must
control the habits and the destiny of hu-
man life. In outdoor activity, men
expend the superfuous energy Of their
thought. Women chafe in solitude.
Disquieted, restless, worn by pain, bound
by the contracting duties of negative
life, thousands secretly cry for destiny
equal TO their ambition, great as their
powers. Sometimes such break every
barrier, trample upon the worlds propri-
eties, and madly strive to win from the
stony heart of custom the promise of a
public career. Men, whose sensitive
nerves are usually painfully stirred when
women scold upon the forum and grow
rampant about their "rights," can do
much to allay the evil. Open the gate,
take down every bar. Stretch out the
hand of brother, and lead your sister
into the serene world of science, of art;
of literature, of religion. Encourage
her, help her, smile upon her. Let her
walk by your side, not as rival, but as
friend. Don't be condescending and
grand, as if you gave her the privilege.
Here she has right. Let her feel that
here she has her place, her home. Here
she may be, grow, blossom in beautiful
and symetrical beauty. Don't fret about
her affections; their growth will be COM
mensurate with that of her entire nature.
Her heart will not shrivel and run to
seed in brain. To grow, every faculty
of the soul must be fed. Man needs
sustenance for his head as well as his
heart, and so does woman. Who can
subsist upon one diet all their life and
become vigorous, healthy? "Heart" is
delicious, but woman can't cat heart,
heart, heart, every day of her life, with
nothing beside, and still the souls hun
ger be satisfied.

THE DRUM DRUMMED OUT.-Mighty
is the drum, raising as 1t does lust OF
glory in the Christians heart, stirring
him to slaughter, and making bloodshed
beautiful; sending him forth terrible
reaper in the fields of carnage, and
smearing him with human gore as earth's
best painting! And yet the drum
though beat by,a destroying angel
sounds not so musical to us as the pant
ing and snorting of the railway engine.
The piston is more noble weapon than
the sword; the whirl and rush and
thunder of the train grinder, more truly
sublime, more suggestive of all that
ennobles man in his purest thoughts and
deepest sympathies towards his fellow,
than the tramp and measured step Of
glistening thousands, shaking the earth
they too soon are about to defle with
fire and sword. ..Jerrold.

Our BEST PARLoRs.-Don't keep a
solemn parlor, into which you go but
once month, with the parson or sewing
society. Hang around your walls pic
lures which shall tell stories of mercy,
hope, courage, faith, and charity. Make
your living-room the largest and most
cheerful in the house. Let the place
be such that when your boy has gone to
distant lands, or even when, perhaps, he
clings to a single plank in the lonely
waters of the wide ocean, the thought
of the still homestead shall come across
the desolation, bringing always light,
hope and love. Have no dungeon about
your house-no room you never open
no blinds that are always shut.

The Swedes have a peculiar mode of
saying grace. The company stand around
the table, and at a considerable distance
from it, the gentlemen, for the most
part, if not always, with their hands
clasped and held ON their breasts Pro-
found silence ensues perhaps for min
ute, OF it may be two, when the ladies
drop curtsey, and the gentlemen make
a bow, and then the company take their
seats. After dinner there is sometimes
an addition, one of the party striking up
verse of some we'll known hymn, when
all join in singing it.

SOME FACTS ABOUT MExICo.-M
Lerdo, Mexican statesman, and the
author of the law of the Commonfort
administration for secularizing the
church property, has published some
general statistics of that country, ex-
hibiting it's resources and capacities.
The population in 1854, when the last
census was taken, was 7,S59,564, and
has not much increased since then. The
whole area of the country is 834, l40
square miles. Sonora and Chihuahua,
the states we covet, on our southwestern
border, are the two largest in extent,
covering 124 900 square miles, or one
fourth of the whole country. The pop
ulation of these states is 294 900, Or
one twenty-ffth Of the whole population,
showing that they are very sparsely pop
ulated as compared with the other states.
Not one-eighth of the arabic land in
Mexico has been put under cultivation;
the annual agricultural products are
about $500, 100000; the annual yield of
gold and silver s24, 100000; and of
manufactured articles 800, 100000. The
annual exports amount to $4,000, 900,
and the imports to S2S,OOO,O ,OOO-very
small amounts for SO fertile and populous
a country. Nearly half the imports are
from Great Britain, and only one fifth
from the United States. The expenses
of the government are about S25, 5,000,-
600 per year, and the national debt has
increased lately at the rate of ten mil
lions annually. The church property is
$500, 100000 and its revenue $80,000,-
900 per year. Mexico has every mate
rial resource for prosperous country.
With permanent government, even if
it were not very good one, provided it
maintained public order and protected the
lives and property of its citizens, it
might become rich country. Fleeced
by corrupt hierarchy and left ungov-
erned by the struggles of its ambi-
tious factions, its decay is rapid, and it
offers itself an easy prey to the rapacity
of its stronger neighbors.

Books IN TURKEY.-A correspon-
dent Of the Ssientitic american writes
on this subject as follows:
1t may be interesting for your readers
to know that the first and last work ON
medicine, in the Turkish language, was
printed in Scutari in 1920. 1t was cal
led: "Mirror of the Bodies" a folio
sheet, with 800 pages, containing Sc ana
tomical plates. The publication of this
work was hailed in Europe as great
event, considering that the Koran for
Bids to make plates of the human body.
1t is never allowed to open body, even
if, as the Koran expresses it, ''the dead
person should have swallowed the most
precious pearl, which did not belong to
him." The author was Cham-Zadeh,
Mehemmed-Ata-U Ula, member of the
Ulemas. 1t is remarkable that partic-
ular Hatte-Sherif-an edict of the Sui
tan-was required to allow it's publica-
ton.
Printing was first introduced in Con-
stantinople in 1925. 1t was Interrupt
ted again from 1743 till 1884, and since
its introduction until the late war broke
out-that is in period of over 100 years
only about sixty books have been pub
lished! What stupendous fact to
dwell upon, considering one years issue
in the United States!

METHODIsM ON THE PACIFIC.-From
the report of sermon delivered in Will
mington, Delaware, by Bishop Scott,
who recently returned from his mission
to Oregon and Washington Territories,
we gather the following facts:
The first Methodist missionaries to the
Pacific were Jason and Daniel Lee, who
arrived at Fort Vancouver on the Co
lumbia River, September 18th, 1884
The first sermon ever preached in Ore
gon Territory was preached by Jason Lee
on the 20th of the same month, to a
company of whites, half-breeds and In
dians; and in November following, at
the same place, the foundation of the
Christian church was laid, by the same
missionary, by the baptism Of four adults
and fifteen children.
In 1S4S, Rev. W. Taylor, of the Bal
timOre Conference, and Rev. l. Owen,
of the Indiana Conference, were sent as
missionaries to California--the former
around the Horn, the latter across the
continent. They arrived in the country
about the same time, and by a strange
coincidence opened their commission on
the same day in different and distant
parts Of the country.
There are now on this coast two an
nual conferences, fully organized, and
covering, with their network of dis
tricts, circuits and stations, the whole
settled portion of that vast country,
from San Diego, on the south, to Puget
Sound on the north, andfrom the Ocean
to Carson Valley and Salt Lake City.
In these conferences, according to the
late minutes we have 140 itinerant and
90 local preachers; 6,3sS members and
probationers; 1887 children in the
Sunday schools, and 2S,2O0 volumes in
the libraries, SO churches, some of them
very creditable buildings, and nearly all
of them out of debt; besides numerous
preaching places in school and private
houses; 80 parsonages, also mostly out
Of debt, besides many hired houses; 2
universities and 6 academies

ENDURING PERFUMES.

ENDURING PERFUMEs.-Among the
curiosities shown at Alnwick Castle, in
England, is vase taken from an Egyp-
tian catacomb, and which contains a
mixture of resins, that send forth an
agreeable odor, although said to be three
thousand years old.
The mosque of Omar in Constantine
pie, is highly perfumea with musk,
which was mixed with the mortar in its
walls during the time of their erection
several hundred years ago.

remembrancer, in token ofthe high re-
gard in which thy hold them, and in ac-
acknowledgement Of the valuable services
they had rendered them during their
imprisonmeut-to their counsel for legal
aid, and to the others for services scarce
~ less valuable. And he wished to re-
quest their wives TO place the gift before
their husbands, at meals, three times a
day while they lived, that they might, at
such times, when surrounded by their
families and those dear to them, when
noble and generous feelings were sure to
come, look upon the memento and re-
member the exciting scenes through
which they had just passed-that although
they were intended for their husbands,
like all other dear things they W ould be
in the keeping of the ladies'.
Judge Spalding replied in behalf of
the ladies and others, in few eloquent
and appropriate remarks. Mr.. Peck re-
marked that portion of the first hour in
jail had been spent in imploring the bless
ing of God, and it would be consonant
with their feelings to spend the last mo-
ments in thanksgiving to their protector
and preserver of themselves and families,
and the Good Deliverer who had been
sheir hope and support during the many
days and nights of their confinement.
The news spread rapidly that the
government officials had cared. Hun
dreds Immediately called on the company
TO tender their congratulations. In the
afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a hundred
guns were fred, and several hundreds OF
our citizens gathered at the Jail to escort
the Rescuers to the depot. At IL
o'clock, the whole company, headed by
Hecker's Band, marched two and two tc
the depot, through Superior and Water
streets, the band playing Hail Columbia,
Hail to the Chief Yankee Doodle &c.
On arriving at the depot, three stentoriaT
cheers were given with good will fol
the Rescuers, when Judge Brayton o
Newburgh was called upon for speech
which he gave in his vivid and eloquen
style. After this the company babe fare
well to their friends and took their seat
in the cars, and the train started amids
the hurrahs of the people, the band play
ing that peculiarly appropriate air TO
the occasion, Home, Sweet Home. :
Thus has ended the great Oberlin Res
cue Case.

The Great Revival in Ireland.

The following is a more detailed &C
count than We have before seen of the re-
Hgious movement which is now in pro
gress in Ireland. 1t is from the Dublin
correspondent of the New York Courier
and Enquirer:
This movement was not produced by
ths preaching of the English celebrities,
Spurgeon, or Guinness, or McNeille, or
Puncheon, on their visits to this country,
nor did it commence in any of our large
towns, under the ministry of any of our
own men of renown' for talents and elo-
quence.
There is, nearly in the centre of An
trim County, a quiet rural parish named
Conner, whose population mostly Pres
byterian, have long enjoyed sound, Scrip
tural teaching, and have been accustomed
TO cherish spirit of unostentatiouS piety
in their praying societies. In these an
unusual earnestness manifested itself
producing unwonted anxiety for the sal
walton of others; the result was general
awakening of peoples minds to religious
realities.
The spirit of zeal thus enkindled, spread
into the neighboring towns and villages.
The people of Ahoghill, Brougshane and
Ballymena we're brought under the same
influence. The ministers opened the
churches daily, for meetings for prayer
and praise. These were crowded; and
soon others began to be held in private
houses, the streets and the fields. A
these, amid deep solemnity which perSa
ded all, and an excited awakening which
stirred many, some were so affected
stricken, as they phrased it--as to cry
out audibly after which, there was bod
lily prostration, as well as mental agony
which continued, III some a longer, Il
some shorter time, before peace wa
enjoyed.
The news of these strange doings sprea
abroad in all directions. Visitors fror
Belfast, on the East, and Coleraine, 0
the West, came to see and hear; an
some of those who had felt the influence
visited these and intermediate and adj;
cent towns. From village to village, an
from huulet it has spread, and not on
is the whole Of Antrim pervaded by
bu. it extends far into the neighbour
counties. Newtonlimavady and Derr
westward; Antrim and Carrickfergr
eastward; Cookstown, Cungannon al
Armagh, southwark, are all mentions
in the newspapers, now filed with repol
of the movement, as visited, more Or L
strikingly, with these singular rnanites
lions.
Belfast, as the largest town, with
greatest number of churches and zealc
ministers, with band Of devoted aux
aries in the form Of town missionari'
IS now the most conspicuous scene OF I
extraordinary visitation and there,
elsewhere, it is not confined TO one
