A COOP MAXIM.-''Aim at perfection in
everything, though in most things it is IN
attained; however, they who aim at it, and
persevere, will come much nearer to it than
those whose laziness and despondency make
them give it up as unattainable. The
above is particularly applicable to the sub
jeet of health-all should do everything in
their power to attain perfection, as near as
gossble in that This can be secured by a
regular and continued use of Zingari Bitters.
SELF INFLICTED INJURY.-We should be
lost without Webster's new Illustrated Die
tiOnary. There is no work that can at all
compare with it, and the student who fails
to get a Webster can have no idea of the
loss he iaficts upon himself Here, knowl-
tedge in it, most accessible form, lies within
the reach of all, and we hope the time will
soon come when every family will obtain
this work. With its numerous pictures and
explanations it is like fairy tale for the
children. Christian Monitor For sale by

ST. VALENTINES DAY.-This day, which
causes so much huttering among the young
ladies', comes on Sunday this year, February
18th. For the benefit of our fair friends,
We would state that the custom of sending
Valentines originated many hundred
years ago. st. Valentine was, according to
some writer's, a bishop, while others insist
that he was presbyter, who was beheaded
at Rome in the reign of the Emperor Claud-
lus, A. d., go. Historians remark that ''he
vas man of admirable parts, and so ia
nous for his love and charity that the Gus
tomof choosing Valentines upon his festi-
val took its rise from thence "

THE Irish Church Bill.
over i.

The House of Commons Of the British
Parliament took up the bill for the dis-
establishment of the Irish Church on FIJI
day last. Mr.. DIsRAELI opened the DEBATE
against the bill. He considered the ques-
ton one of the most gigantic which had ever
been brought before the House. he argued
that the connection between Church ana
State was q necessary one. The Church
rendered the State religious and invested
it's authority with the highest sanction.
The bill, he contended, would probably ae--
stroy religious freedom and toleratlon-a
proposition which it will be hard WORK 1or
the distinguished debater to maintain. he
proceeded at great length to show that the
bill proposed to violate vested rights g.,
tithes and comforts to Church and preach-
ers-and contended that the strength Oh
Ireland was in her connection with Eng
land He concluded by declaring that.the
bill was dangerous to the country, but ne
placed faith in the prudence Of Parliament.
Mr.. WILLIAM II. GREGORY, member for
Galway, Ireland, followed in reply. He
tainted Mr.. DIsRAELI with inconsistency
comparing the speech he had just made
with his former declaration that the Irish
Church was monstrous grievance to Ire
land Mr.. GREGORY did not unreserVedly
support the bill. he objected to some OF
its features. He is not SO very. Irish.

Thomas and Sheridan.

We have frequently said that of all the
Federal Generals of the civil war General
SHERIDAN had the greatest reputation on
the smallest capital. His achievements
were nothing extraordinary-hardly .suffi-
cient to have saved him from being over
slaughed; and it is great injustice to
other officers that he should be promoted
over their heads. There was no brilliancy
in anything he did save the conhagrations
he lighted up in the Valley. he did not
gain single victory that was worthy of
remark for being achieved under disadvan-
tage, where intrepidity and tact triumphed
over superior force, means, and position.
Not one. General THOMAS is greatly his
superior as warrior, and sHERIDAN's
feats sink into absolute insigni6oance COM
pared with THoMAs's solid achievements.
Don PIATr, the independent and enter
tanning correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, thus justly complains Of the
overslaughing Of the superior with the In.
fsrior officer:
"No better illustration Of the personal.
popularity Of little Phil. Sheridan can be
had than the quiet way the people have
acquiesced in the promotion Of the idol over
the real hero Of the war. II was very
oruel, unjust piece Of fayoritism, but it is
favoritism Of the impulsiVe public. /
- have no wish to undsrrete the admira-
BILE qualities Of the oficer4who rode up the
Shenandoah into popular favor. / feel the
same enthusiasm over his military career
as that animating the masses. Yet can
not, in the face OF unmistakable facts, help
regarding his promotion over General
Thomas with sorrow. II 1t is not turning
from the gold Ger busted to the gold DER
gilded, it is one of those specimens of
injustice that dishesrtens honorable effort.

The Queen of the Antilles.

The rebellion |" in Cuba hes been daily
put down, and daily it has not been put
down. To-day it is in occupation of more
ground than it was month ago, and rebel
ambassador is in Washington urging the
recognition of the rebels ct least as bel
Ggerents. .
We are of opinion that the Federal Gov
eminent cannot and should not keep out Of
this scrape. 1t is very clear that Cuba is
part of the effects of very sick Govern
ment, and must pass away to others. Il is
Of vital Importance to US, and when the ripe
fruit falls it should foil into the lap Of the
United States. This is SO plainly the no
tional interest that it will probably force
itself irresistibly upon the Government.
Spain can hardly hold Cuba. She is far
away, reduced in resources, and is herself
in an intermediate condition, between
anarchy and organized government. Her
rich island is near the American coast,
from whence swarm recruits, and are
readily conveyed munitions of war for the
rebels. When we add to the moral force Of
the situation and the physical powero these
aids the abolition of slavery by the rebel
government We can hardly see how Spain
can put down the rebellion.
We imagine this must be the conviction
of our statesmen. This, then, is the favor
able moment, the very 81 nick of "time," to
get possession Of the best island Of the
West Indies, which is Indispensable to the
United States.
