yet 1t seems to me of such transcendent
importance, as to underlie all Others.
mean the subject of Humane Education.
Every observer of children indeed every
teacher, must have noticed that the mani.
festatiOn of a cruel disposition crops out
very early. 1t begins with pulling off the
wings of flies and teasing the lower ami
mails. It.impels the young urchn to look
about him for stone whenever he hears
the lone bird singing on twig, or sees a
poor wandering pig by the way side. 1t
would, perhaps, be not easy to define very
philosophically, or with anything like psy-
Geological accuracy, how il Is that children
so often act with cruelty to the world of
life around them. Tie poor crushed fly,
the wretched pelted kitten; the tortured
toad with stomach filed with shot, the poor
turtle either lying helpless on his back, or
carrying upon 1t burning coal, all rise ia
mlliarly enough 10 our memories as instan-
ces OF this cruel, uuthiuking wantonness,
this early and miserable misuse of our mys-
teriously given lordship over the creatures
around us These things, however, account
for them as we may, exist, and most GER
tainly lead on to cruelty more or less delib-
crate in after life For cruelty in the child,
if unchecked, will most certainly lead to
blneful results in the man Now, few
things can be taught moro easily, or learnt
more readily, than tenderness and mercy
to the animal world, if the teaching begins
early enough, and is conducted in the right
way. Give the child an insight into the
habits and useful characteristics Of some of
the animals most Immediately at the mercy
of childish cruelty. Bring out the concep-
ton of each poor Tutoring or crawling
thing being an individual, hdving as oocR
indicidudI sy6erings and often showing
its own pity-moving apprehensions en-
courage the larger boys in our schools to
write essays about kindness to animals let
the intellectual and humane be combined !;
have prizes for humanity as well as Schot-

the young, | would place most prominent

THE STRIKE.
The colored labOrers gathered in various
places in small groups, but with apparently Il
less aggressive spirit than yesterday. A num-
Der Of the strikers are anxious to resume work
but fear violence. The board of public works
have decided that dollar and half day is as
much as Taxpayers can afford to give, and yes
terday recommended the contractors to suspend
work for fear of violence, but now promise to
protect the just interests of all, and will not
yield to violence or countenance any attempt to
ntimidate or interfere with honest laborers by
mobs or gangs of armed men.
The police hold themselves in readiness TO
move in any direction, in case disturbances
shall be caused by the colored strikers. There
is also a strike in Georgetown. The companies
are determined to hold out and the principal
agents have been ordered to send all their car
goes to Alexandria, Virginia, hereafter and no
more coal will be shipped from Cumberland to
Georgetown, by canal, for the present. Fight
ing took place, this afternoon, at the coal
wharves, between the strikers and the men at
work. The police arrested some of the rioters.

Kentucky, from San Francisco from Melbourne,

and had his wife with him. The City of Mel

The New South Wales parliament had passed
a bill authorizing the enrolment of defense
corps. The governor had forwarded petition
to England, praying the English government to
annex the FIJI islands to New South Wales.
Great floods had devastated large portion of
the colony. The losses were immense, the early
wheat crop being almost entirely ruined.
The government intends to propose loan of
.f500, 900 for railway extension. The gold yield
of the colony has improved 10 the extent of
nearly fifteen thousand ounces. A new disease
has broken out among the sheep, which is de-
stroying them by thousands. No remedy has
yet been discovered
The monitor Cerberus has arrived safely, and
been prepared for purposes of defence. A sci
entiic expedition has been projected, to 20 to
Cape York, next December, TO watch the solar
eclipse. The government has proposed REIN
Producing the lash as criminal punishment.
In South Australia heavy floods in the interior
have put stop to the operations of the con-
structors of the overland telegraph.
In Queensland Lord Normandy, the new gov
ernor, is expected in June. The remains of
three men, supposed to have been part of an eX-
ploring party, have been found far in the into
rior. Great efforts are being made to complete
the telegraph joining the Java cable before the
Adelaide line is finished.
In New Zealand, the Tekootis rebels were de-

was the southern lodges, of which the celebrated
rebel general Albert Pike of Arkansas was one
of the chiefs, which precipitated and organized
the rebellion, WHILE on the other hand, it was
among the anti-Masonic ranks of forty years
ago that were found the earliest champions of
the anti-slavery movement. Free Masonry, he
said, was one of the most unmtigated despot-
isms on the face of the earth, in support
of which statement he proceeded to read
at length from a variety of documents
purporting to be authentic and official descrip-
tive of the obligations assumed and the author
ity and discipline enforced in the lodges, com
pellfng what he called disgusting degradation
of individual freedom, akin to slavery The
ant-Masonic speeches and writings of John
Quincy Adams, Writ, Seward Granger, Fill
more and others, of former times, were alluded
to and selections read in support of the posi-
tons assumed
In addition to the above objections, said the
speaker the institution in question discarded
the Christian religion, claiming, as a religious
body, to save its devotees from sin without the
blood of Christ, without the holy ghost, with
out the atonement. Taking the ground that
the soul of man needed nothing of this kind for
salvation, it was complete substitute for the
Christian religion, and one of the anti-Christs
prophecied in scripture.
The convention then adjourned, to meet this
morning at half-past eight o'clock, when Prof.
Sloan Of Allegheny City, Pa, will speak, and
others will follow. The sermons will continue
during to-day and tomorrow.

hundred or SO were present. Prayer was offered
by Rev. DIR. Mcclellan of Geneva, NY Presi-
dent Blanchard of Wheaton College ill.,. then
delivered written address, occupying about an
hour and a half, to show the anti. Christian ma
ture and tendency of the Masonic institution.
He began by allusion to the fact of this not
being his first appearance before a Worcester
audience, as he had formerly on several occa-
sions preached from the pulpits of Rev Drs.
Sweetser and Cutler and at the Mission chapel.
He traced the origin OF our country's difficult.
ties on the slavery question, eliminating in the
civil war; TO the Masonic lodges of forty and
fifty years ago, in which the fires of rebellion
against the political as well as the religious in
situations of the country, were enkinded and fed.
The slavery question was the Aaron's serpent,
which from its magnitude swallowed up all 9TH
er political questions. No country could long re-
main free with such an element as Free Masonry
or slavery, kindred institutions, in it. Slavery
while it existed protected Free Masonry, and
Free Masonry had ever since protected slavery.
There was something in the very nature of the
one which Of necessity protected the other, IT
