bayonets, leaving the question of damages to be
settled afterwards. The smallest offence shou
be punished as quickly and as severely as
greater one, and in case like that of the plum
der of the steamer Don instant reprisal should
be had. If this course is adopted a cure will,
In great measure, be effected and it can be
done in no other way. The Chinese government
should be given to understand by the great
Powers that peace with it will only be main
tanned so long as it carries out every treaty to
the letter, and that the slightest violation will
be considered casus belZi. And it further
more should be told that if it cannot punish
those Of its own people guilty of ontrages
against foreigners that foreigners will take
the case into their own hands, and become the
police, judge, jury and lawyers. To this end
the great Powers, who are SO largely inte-
rested in the trade with China, should act
jointly. An offence on the part Of the Chinese
against one should DO considered as against
all ; and in this manner the Celestials would
effectually be held in check.
We are anxious to see what action the
British government will take in reference to
this recent outrage upon one of its commercial
vessels. 1t is usually very prompt and deci-
sive in such matters, but in this instance we
hope to see it 60 beyond mere gunboat pun
ishment, and seek redress from headquarters.
In former years it made war against China
because China interfered with an illegitimate
traffic. Now, let us see if it will be equally

Now it has right on it's side, and the severest
measures it can take to punish all concerned
will be heartily applauded by all who are
opposed to the piratical outrages so frequent
on the coast of China. Oar own government
should pay attention to this case, for an Ameri
can vessel may be the next victim of Chinese
barbarity. Oar squadron in those waters
should be composed of vessels fitted to act
against the piratical craft, and the admiral
commanding should be directed to assume the
responsibility of Immediately Furnishing any
act of hostility against our mercantile marine.
Our minister should be instructed to follow up
the matter at Pekn, but the punishment should
be given first and the explanation come after
wards. This is the only course to pursue in
order to insure safety and command respect.
Our people are now pushing themselves into
every quarter of the Chinese empire that is
open to them. They are extending their
trade and influence, and it is due to them that
every means should be taken in order to rem
der them secure and make them feel that they
are as much protected by the Stars and Stripes
when in China as when within the limits of
their own country.

EARL DE GREY on Saturday evening gave q
magnificent entertainment in Washington,
which is considered among competent authori-
ties TO indicate an early departure of the
British Commissioners, being In the form Of a
farewell appearance. The matters before the
Joint High Commission, as our Washington
dispatches stated some days ago, have been
all adjusted or adjudicated upon, and the
work that now remains is nothing more than
to tie up the ragged edges of the negotis-
ton. Whatever future consideration may
lead us to think of the conclusions of the
Commission, we cannot entertain aught but
the heartiest regard for the departing Com
mssioners, who, amid all the vexations and
labors of negotiation, have kept manfully and
discreetly to their work, unru0ied by delays or
bubbles, and vigiant to guard the honor OF
their own country, while possibly conceding
all that could rghtfuly be demanded by ours.

What is a Gentlemang 2

In the course Of an address to the
Leeds Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, delivered lately by the Bishop of
Manchester, his lordship said
"Some people think gentleman
means man Of independent fortune-a
man who has clothes made in the height
offashiou by the most expensive tailor--a
man who fares sumptuously every day; a
man who need not work hard for his
daily bread. None of these things make
gentleman-not one of them-nor all
of them together. I have known men
when l was brought closer in contact
with workingmen than, from my changed
position, / am brought now-I have known
men of the toughest exterior, who had
been accustomed all their lives to follow
the plough and to look after horses, as
thorough gentlemen in heart as any noble
man that ever wore ducal coronet.
mean I have known them as unselfsh, [
have known them as truthful, | have
known them as tender, [ have known
them as kind, have known them as
sympathizing; and all these qualities go
to make what l understand by the term
"a gentleman" 1t is noble privilege
which has been sadly prostituted, and
what | want to tell you is that the humb-
lest man in Leeds who has the lowest
work to do, yet, fhis heart be tender,
and pure, and true, can be, in the most
emphatic sense of the word, gentleman"

Plain Talk to Girls.

A girl who looks like "fury" or
"sloyen" in the morning is not to be
trusted however finely she may look in
the evening, No matter how humble
your room may be, there are eight things
it should contain, viz A mirror, wash
stand, soap and towel, comb, hair, nail
and toothbrushes, Parents who fail to
provide such appliances not only make a
great mistake, but commit sin Of
omission. Look tidy in the morning,
and after the dinner work is over improve
your toilet. Make it rule ofyour daily
life to "dress up" for the afternoon.
Your dress may or need not be anything
better than calico but with ribbon or
flower or some bit of ornament. you can
have an air of selfrespect and satisfaction
that invariably comes with being well
dressed. A girl with fine sensibilities
cannot help feeling embarrassed and awk-
ward in a ragged and dirty dress, with
her hair unkempt, should neighbor
come in. Moreover your selfrespect
should command decent appareling of
your body. You should make it point
to look as well us you can, even if you
know nobody will see you but yourself

BD- A startling event recently took
place in a church where the clergyman
adopts rather strange style of admon-
ition. Speaking of the devil going about
like roaring lion, he said Satan was
everywhere in the world--in the camp,
in the court, in the theater, in the pri-
yate houses and rising with his subject,
he said He is in this church at this
very moment J" upon which sharp cry
was raised by a little boy in a pew be-
longing to one of the leading families in
the congregation "Aunty, aunty," he
shouted, take me out. l want TO get
away" And auuty had to take him out,
the boy rushing in terror from the
church, not having the heart to stay any
longer under the same roof with a per-
sonage of whom he had formed so terri

"GO Home, Bubby."

A young man, whose moustache is Wis
ihle by the aid of a microscope was VIC
tim of misplaced confidence short time
ago. He had been particularly sweet on
a very young lady, and had previously
paid her several visits. The girls pa
rents, thinking both too young to begin
keeping company with each other, gave
them a gentle hint to that effect-frst by
calling the girl out Of the room and send
ing her to bed and second, by the lady
of the house bringing into the room a
huge slice of bread and butter with mo
lasses attachment, and saying to the
youth, in her kindest manner, There,
Bubby, take this, and go home it's a
long way, and your mother will be anx-
ious." -,

Shaking Hands.

There are two small churches in
little village which l know about All
the new people who come to stop in the
village go to one Of the churches and not
to the other Both are neat, both are
pretty, both have the pure gospel preach
ed to them, both have good pastors, both
have good members.
Now, what draws strangers and outsi-
ders to one church more than to the
other Can you think ? Because the
people shake hands with them, and are
glad to see them. When stranger
comes to town, they take pains to hunt
him up and ask him to come to church
with them, and make room for them in
their pews.
