their zeal in caring for the relics. On this

where the mother of Constantine found
the cross is under the roof of this church

If | could. Here also is the post to
which the Saviour was chained, the stone
on which Peter stood when the cock
reminded him of his cowardice. There
are many other notable scenes and places,
but the last, and the one. which turned
the stomach of my credulity inside out,

tomb of the father of US all, the husband
of the woman who did SO much mischief.
| have always felt deep sympathy for
Adam because of the way in which Eve
treated him, but had never expected to be
able to give vent to that sympathy over
his tomb. However, he has been dead
too long TO need any tears, so | refrained. 4
AT the entrance to the church | found a
much greater cause for tears than Adams
trouble. Here stood a guard adorned
with the crescent and star, real Mussel-
man guarding the church to prevent the
Christians, who own the church from
cutting each others throats; certainly this
is real with vim. A strange example
for the followers of Christ to give those
of Mahommed. But have I'VE not the |
same disposition in our own land as
that shown by Greeks, Catholics and
Armenians.

around the Holy City to be seen, and

the brilliant addresses which he has de-
liyered On the several occasions on which
he has assumed the honorary positions
which have been conferred upon him in
connection with many of the literary and
| educational institutions of the country.
All these addresses, although full of no.
bic thoughts, expressed in eloquent
language, were thrown off with almost
as much ease as that which Mr. Gladstone
displays when he winds up debate; and
of one of the most remarkable of them it
is said that it was entirely composed in
the train while its illustrious author was
travelling down To Glasgow to deliver it.
HIGH POSITION.
When we see man thus strangely
gifted, we need not wonder at the fact
that he fairly dazzled the eyes of the gem
Grafton which first knew him, and that in
his younger days it was believed that he
was destined to attain place, not among
the great men of his own day only, but
among the deathless great memo of all time
That he has not fully realized all the ex-
pectations formed with regard to him, he
himself would, we presume, be thefrst to
dCknOWlcuSe. OplSHulu % ID tuC ASpuloIlOu
which he has achieved, and high the rank
which he has taken, he has neverthe-
less fallen short of the mark which he
might have gained. He is not the great
man of the day; and there was
time when the best judges believed
that he was capable of becoming this. 1t
is not for US to inquire into all the causes
which have led to this partial failure in
great career. Ill-health, which is now,
we fear confirmed, has unquestionably
had much to do with it, and perhaps the
very extent of his genius, which led him
to wander over many fields instead of
de voting himself to the cultivation of
one, has not been without its share in
bringing about the result. Be this as it
may, no one knows Lord Lytt0n will deny
that the influence which he has exercised
upon his contemporaries, great though it
has been, and the place which he has
earned in the temple of fame-splendid
though it is-are not equal to the expec
tations which were justly formed with
respect to him.

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.
From the Brownsville Bee.


Nominations have always been, and
always will be, as long as there are polit-
ical parties. 1t will not do for every
man to decide for himself whether or not
he is the man to lead his party. His
party must decide that matter for him.
You see it keeps men from stopping
over" Put too many Democrats, or too
many of any other strong party in the
field, and some one of them is powerful
apt to lose confidence in his chances for
success, in his own party, and "slop
over to carry the strength of the OPP
position, just like our lovely and adora-
bic Gov. Senter did, last summer. That
kind of "doings" are not good. Why,
we voted for Mr.. Senter last August. He
allowed US to vote, and we owed him one,
but we did write on the top of our ticket,
"Good for this trip and train only"
Now, ere the roses fade, we expect to
vote for some other man, one of
our own choice, to Gust him out
of his seat. 1t does look hard, but
then, ''the way of the transgressOr is
hard" anyhow, this year. we do not
want anybody playing the Senter game in
our party. We really cannot afford it.
As for the honesty of conventions, we
suppose that depends, in q great measure,
upon the men who compose them. If
the "great mass of the true people," or
the Individual atoms of this "great mass"
do not admire the style in which nomi-
mating convention is about to be conduct
ed, why not the Hgreat mass of the true
people" hold the convention themselves,
and nominate the right man. 1t is just
all pushmataha, my boy. You have some
rooster in your minds eye for the Office,
and you do not think he has strength
enough to be nominated or elected in his
own party. So you oppose conventions
with the hope that possibly other men
will get out of the way of your favorite,
or else the opposition will center upon
him, and run him in under false colors.
We will support no man who is not
worthy to bear his party banner, and we
have not the talent to follow a dozen
I leaders at once

lecturer with her address on Woman il

MRS. HGMLEr's soLmoouE

Hamlet, the question Of female suffrage:
To vote, or not to VOTE that's the question;
Whether it's nobler to forego the suffrage
And bears the arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against our sexs troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To hve-to we'd
No more; and by marriage say we end
The heartache, only to nurse the little lis
Women are heir tots contamination
Not for Joseph, if the Court herself doth know;
And that she doth is most indu bitable,
To vote-to act-to act, perchance, farce; aye,
There's the rub; for by this act what flights may
come,
When we have sufIled off our crinoline?
This makes us pause; this, too, is the respect
That makes calamity of woman's suffrage;
For who would bear the kicks and cuffs OF men,
The oppressor's fist, our lords contumely,
Assault and battery, and the laws delay;
The insolence of bummers, and the spurns
That patient women from rough loafers take,
When, to avoid it, she could stay at home
And use her bodnn? Who would mako beer,
Or groan sweat under mechanics life,
But for the pleasures of emancipation
The rich Golconda, from whose gaping jaws
The flesh pots yawn in tantalizing plenty
But there's the afterclapsl This puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear the ills we have,
Than fly to the horrid inexpressibles.
Thus cowardice makes babies Of us all;
And thus our petted suffrage resolutions
Are sicklied DER with the pale cast of fear;
And enterprise Of glorious ballot stufing
Must fade, alas, because our sufferingse sex
Dare not imbibe the soul-inspiring rye
To give US vim and action.

THE wives of men of sentiment are not
always the most appreciative of women.
Jean Paul represents Siebenkas as reading
of his beautiful Imaginings to his wife,
who listened with eyelids cast down and
bated breath. As he closed, the sharer of
his joys beamed forth, ''Don't put on
your left stocking, to morrow, dear;
must mend that hole IN it.n So, when
Sir Walter and Lady Scott were rambling
about their estate, and came upon some
playful lambs frisking in a meadow,
"Ah, said Sir Walter, "'tis no wonder
that poets, from the earliest ages, have
made the lamb the emblem of peace
and innocence. ''They are, indeed, de-
lightful animals" answered her ladyship,
especially with mint sauce"

One of the bathing-placc gentry writes:
'Did you ever see thin girl take bath
in the surf and come out with her bathing
dress sticking tight to her like poor
woman's plaster? Funny, wasn't it!
Well, it's nothing compared to fat girl

comical sights in the wide world, the fun
niest is fat girl when she comes out of
the surf. have seen puppy dogs with
blue ribbons on their tails, and neatly en-
broidered flannel shirts on their dear little
necks, and I've seen Horace Greeley at a
party, but they are as nought, and the
dust in the balance, alongside of wet,
fat woman in her bathing clothes.
