george Peabody's Return 10 America,

10 those who were abroad at an early bour
yesterday morning it must have occurred
mat nature had not left it to man to provide
oil the decorations in honor of the dead
pnilanthropist whose ashes had just been
borne to his native land. A more glorious
sunrise never Illuminated the harbor, and the
Hoods OF light falling upon the ice-encrusted
trees and upon all the objects of the land
scape, welcomed him who loved his fellow
men, with more than imperial spendors IF
diamonds had been suspended from every
twlg OF every tree the scene could not have
been more magnificent
Presently all the people Of the country act
ing by their representatives " i'll pay with more
formal ceremonial, their respect to the illustri-
Gus dead. They will receive with subdued and
solemn enthusiasm one whose name is in that
too short list of those who are illustrions
solely by reason of their humanity and love
of their kind. How short that list is no one
can realize till he has attempted an enumera-
ton. Only one historical name, that of
Toward, has hitherto been thought worthy of
descriptive title signifying that philanthropy
was the distinctive characteristic OF his mind
anu Oh MS career. Others have deserved it,
perhaps, as thoroughly as Howard, but they
either did not carry on their work on sufi-
cient'y large scale to attract the attention of
mankind, or were unappreciated Florence
Nightingale, Clara Barton, hundreds of Sis
tiers OF Charity and kindred associations.
have done much in their sphere, but the
world has not taken especial note OF them
Mr.. Peabody, owing to the immense wealth
which he was enabled to control, has obtain
ed place among the great names of history,
and obtains the honors of burial at which
nations appear as mourners.
The occasion will be proftless one if its
true significance is lost. Its meaning is that
men are now chiefly 10 rely for their fame not
on the success of their schemes for selfag-
grandizement, but on their efforts in behalf of
their fellow men. Each year teaches this les
son more and more plainly. 1t begins to be
thought an infamous thing that the comforts
and necessaries of life should be monopoliz-
ed. 1t begins to be held crime for one man
to withhold for luxurious indulgence or for
misery boarding that which would buy a
starving man bread or freezing man clothes.
The prompt recognition of these facts by cap
italists like Peabody will prevent any attempt
to bring about more equitable distribution
OF property through mad agrarian or commu-
nistic schemes. Mr.. Peabody's example wide
ly initiated will prevent that attack upon the
very foundations of social order that has often
been imminent and under favoring circum-
stances might be actually made. There is no
opportunity for contest between labor and
capital when capital voluntarily divides its
gains with indulgence

EMIGRATION FROM DENMARR.-The emigra-
ton from Denmark to this country has become
70 large as to excite the apprehension OF the
leading citizens and the government, foe it is
not only the superabundant and least useful
part of the population that now emigrate, but
some of the most useful classes of society, in
cluding skilled laborers, whilst the last census
shows that the number of inhabitants is sensi-
bly, diminishing from year to year. AtCopen-
hagen committee has been formed with the
sanction and support of the government, to
see what can be done to prevent the country
being drained of her agricultural and mechan-
ical population. 1t is proposed to endeavor to
ihduce intending emigrants to remain in the
eoun'fy and settle in the western part of Jut-

a SERMON IN BILLIARD HAIL.-THE
PREACHER TREATS HIS AUDIENRE TO BEER
In Center Point, Iowa, a week ago. Mr..
John ferguson an Advent preacher, announc-
en- that he would deliver sermon in support
OF his views in Manahan's saloon. Out of Gu
rlosity and a natural desire to see the termina-
ton OF so novel an affair, about fifty persons
assembled at the place designated and anx-
iously awaited the arrival of the preacher
The first thing the preacher did on his arrival
was to step up to the bar and order beer for all
the house, after which he made fervent prayer
to God, and then proceeded to commence his
sermon. He opened his Bible, laid it on one
OF the billiard tables, and announced his text,
and then for the space of about one hour he
addressed the attentive audience, setting
forth in glowing terms the doctrine which he
adhered to. AT the close, he again gave ut.
terance to short prayer, and then requested
the audience to rise while he delivered the
benedictlon, after which he announced that be
would deliver another sermon at the same
place and hour on the next Sunday. He then
again requested all present to come forward
and have something 10 drink, at bis expense
and considerable number obeyed the sum.

sit 1.-THE Press) should have known that by
the 14th amendment of the Constitution, rat
flied nearly two years ago, it was declared
that 'All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and
of the State wherein they reside'" So saws
the Advertiser. Very true, but that does not
make Mr.. Revels eligible as Senator unless
the amendment is retroactive and makes him
citizen of nine years standing.

ACT REPEATING THE UsURY LAWs.-The
opponents of the usury laws now on the stat
ute books of Maine are of the opinion that
by persistent effort they can effect their over
throw. Accordingly we find that bill has
already been introduced in The House, as has
been done for several years Immediately pre-
iceding, providing as follows:
Section 1. When there is no agreement for
different rate of interest money, the same
shall continue to be at the rate of six dollars
upon one hundred dollars for year, and at
the srme rate for greater or less sum and for
longer or shorter time.
Section 2 1t shall be lawful to contract to
pay or reserve discount at any rate, and to
contract for payment and receipt of any rate
OF interest; prouided, ho,oever, thas no great
er rate of interegt than six per centum shall
be recovered in any action, except where the
agreement to pay such greater rate of interest
Is In writing.
The third section saves existing contracts
from the operation of the law, and provides
that it shall go into effect on the 1st day of
July.

SIR JOHN YoUNG, Governor General of
Canada, is an exceedingly pleasant sort of
gentleman. An Irish paper says that he owns
an estate in Cavan County, ireland, which un-
til recently was occupied by Rev. Mr.. Bell
presbyterian clergyman, now deceased. Mr..
Bell LETT two very aged and infrm sisters and
a niece, the latter being charged with the
maintenance of the two sisters, and manage
ment of the estate. Contrary to all precedent
and to the intense indignation of the people
dwelling in the vicinity, notice of eviction has
been served upon the ladies' The St. John
Globe, commenting on these facts, says: "We
can very readily understand that Fenian out
RACES of the worst description would not ap-
pear Ito persons used to such acts as Sir John
Young proposes to commit,) SO very dreadful
as they do to u.s."
