to conquer

Except that the question has been raised by con-
Trajectory statements we mach doubt whether the
general public is deeply concerned to whether or
not the American and Foreign Christian Union
exists But there is something rather odd in the
circumstance that, while the gentleman who was till
recently the President of that Society declares that
it is in a state of dissolution, its Secretaries and
Treasurer insist that it is active and yvaciOus. We
are informed that the management of the Society
has never worked harmoniously, and that the differ
ent secs whose joint interests in foreign missions 1t
has represented are gradually Withdrawing and set
ting up separate missions of their own. Nothing
seems more likely in the abstract than preference
ON the part of each sect for such separate establish
ments since il is because of their differences that
sects as snch exist but it would be greatly to their
credit as Christians if they could work together in
harmony 1t will be quite unnecessary to pronounce
in advance upon the life death of the Missionary
Union. 1t is not necessary with corporate as with
corporal bodies to raise blister upon them in order
to determine whether they should be buried not.

is a matter of bOOkkeeping-nOt OF discussion.

New-York tribune., 1871-05-31

An odd commentary on the doctrine of infallible
maternal instinct is offered by the 1ichborne case
now before the English courts. A certain Roger
Tcbborne heir to a baronetcy ran OFF when boy TO
Australia, and was lost in the bush. In 1866, he or
his counterfeit. reappeared with a wife and three
children, claiming his title and estates. His mother
recognized him. and acknowledged him as her son.
The executors of the Tchborne property refused to
admit his claims however and still refuse, on the
ground that the persons of the real and fegned Sir
Roger entirely unlike, and that whereas the boy
who disappeared was educated, and gentleman, the
present claimant is an ignorant and vulgar boor, not
even able to spell construct sentence correctly
in his own language. Every day brings mp fresh
witnesses who for or against his identity with
equal pertnacity, and with feverish haste the coun
sci goadng them on either side, as the plaintiff,
whether real or sham, is in dying condition, and
uncertain as he is while living there will be less
chance Of identifying him as ghost.

TIE MAYOR IND THE CAR CONP1NIES.
II is so seldom that we have q chance to
say good word for Mayor Hall, that when
he does sensible thing it is peculiarly graft
fying to be able to praise him for it. His let
ter to the City Railroad Presidents on the sub
ject of protection for passengers commands
our hearty approval. He asks that policemen
ia uniform be allowed to ride free on the
front platforms of cars, and that detectives III
citizens dress be provided with coupon tickets
Roth these requests seem to be entirely reason
allie At present there is no place in which a
nioLnockct or n bruiser is less likely to en-
counter an officer than city horse-car. Prac-
tically the cars are parts OF the thoro"gh-
fares but parts over which the police nave no
supervision, though the dangerous classes nave
free access to them II used to be the GUS
tom ON some of the roads, if not all, to let
officers in uniform ride free. This practice
was broken up, and the result was seen in a
rapid increase of thievery and ruffanism. AS
soon as the lolice got Off the pickpockets
got on. Now, let an officer feel at liberty to
Jump upon the platform of any car that he
pleases Except, of course, when he Is on pa
troll duty), and the thieves will at once be de-
pliyed of the comparative security which Is
now their great encouragement in crime.
Mayor Hall also advises the companies to
give their drivers and conductors more dis
cretion in checking disordcrly conduct among
passengers. We agree with him in this also.
Is is impossible to define exactly what conSti-
tutes disorder or intoXication; that must be
left to the judgment of the conductor; but no
magistrate is likely to take a very harsh view
of his legal powers when a little wholesome
authority is eXerted in the cause OF pubic
safety and decorum. Certainly the domestic
economy of the New-York horse-car is In the
greatest need of reform, and reform is impos-
sible except through the hearty cooperation OF
the companies with the police and the public.

A Severely Proper Person.

thought of telling her a secret, or of

was one of those happy, fat women

she caught me stealing apples, she
would take me into the house as if
for castigation, and then would put
the apples in the drawer and give
them to me one by one, and when |
was put to bed without my supper
which for a boy growing at the
rate Of ten knots an hour WAS no
small thing-she would bring me
bread and cheese while mother was
praying. | felt guilty for liking
the bread and cheese better than the
prayer, but | did Once my father
said to me, ''Henry, do you want to
go hunting with me-" 1t was a
moment of transcendcnt JOY But
Aunt Chandler, not knowing Of the
invitation, asked me to go to Collins

too well to refuse. l raced down

hour in my life, and | look back

who sympathized with me, though
she had no claim on me. This illus
trates Scripture: Scarcely for
righteous man would one die; yet
for good man one would dare to

much that we want as goodness.

PnYisian Boys.

In France you do not meet man,
of the better class Of boys about tho
streets; nor are scapc-graces--tho
ganins of Paris-as conspicuous III
quiet times as the descriptions OF
some travellers would lead you to
suppose. You find some specimens
Of the French boy so peculiar as to
puzzle you to know where to place
them. Look, for instance, at those
two fellows that are coming into the
famous church of St. Germain, and
who arc as dirty as chimney-swecps,
and with sharpness of eye and
quickness of motion that might
mark them as adopts at thieving or
any sort of mischief. What are
they about there; to say their prayers
or to pick pockets: They seem to
settle the doubt and define their po-
sition by going to the great basin
Of holy water, which stands thin
an iron railing, and by reaching for
ward toward the consccratcd elc-
ment there; but only one of them is
long enough in the arms to reach
the water, and his shorter-limbed
companion is content with touching
the others wet fingers, then cross
ing himself, and so taking the bless
ing by proxy. This looked to me
like an honest proceeding, and the
dirt OF these boys did not blind me
to their act Of devotion, for there is
ample historical proof that devotces
may be very dirty, and that loss of
cleanliness is not loss Of church
caste. But the pompous bcadlc did
not seem to take so mild view of
their presence, and before his up
lifted staff and ominous frown the
poor fellows took to their hccls.-
Who they were | could not tell; but
they evidently had their school
books with them. Yet to an Amer
lean it was wholly incomprehcnsi-
bic how such begrimed hands and
faces could have passed muster in
any place called school. How
they should seem so to love the
church and yet be rcpellcd by its
officials, was also puzzle to me-
In fact, the whole relation Of the
Romish Church to the people of
Paris is riddle; for nowhere in
Europe does the Church appear to
be so beautiful, aud so fully and
freely open to the people, and no.
where does there appear to be less
hearty affection between the Church
and the masses ofthe people (espec-
tally the men) than there. These
beautiful editices, whose doors are
actually opened wide in summer a
great part of the day, SO that you
can see the alter from the street,
and thus you are called to read as
you run and worship as you work,
have been again and again assaied
and pillagcd by the populace, and
this, too, not merely in the old reign
Of terror, but in these new DAYS of
liberality and toleration. Whether
these dirty boys would have liked
to crack the crown of that domi-
nccring beadlc, or lift their hands
against the priests of st. Gcrmain
Church, from which they were
driven, | cannot say, although no
love went with that rapid exodus, l
am sure.-From "Specimcns of Boys

A Story from Ono Of Jos roys."

Mrs. 10 had just been trapped and
made to pay her forfeit, when little
tivc-ycar-old tobby came in, having
got out of bed to see what was the
matter, and dragged his bed cover
with him. He was about to be
turned ignominiously out, as one
who could not pay the forfeit, when
he protested vigorously against this
sentence without trial, and dc
clared that he could tell dots of
oncs' when he had ''fnked." lIav
deeply cogitatcd for a moment,
pcrchcd on his mothers knee, and
wrapped in the gray coverlet, he told
the following brief but tragic tale,
with an carncstness that made it
funny:

We have received from the dead
letter Office ofthc Post Office Depart
ment small book in an open wrap
per addressed, "Miss Mary Dare
No. 81 Howard street, New York."
and bearing the following post
marks: "Champaign, ILL.,, March
A." "New York Post Office, advcr-
tised March IL" "New York, April
22;" Cannot be found" The book
is a copy Of Hardcc's Rife and In
fantry Tactics, volume /, edition of
1861, and upon the inside of the
cover is a card photograph Of a
soldierly looking man, apparently
about twenty eight or thirty years
of age, dressed in the uniform Of
line officer Of the United States
Army. Under the picture is writ
ten, "Captain NJ. Dare, 64tb United
States volunteers" Near the upper
rieht-hand corner Of the book is Il
bullct-hole, the ball having appar-
emily been fired from muskct at
short range, as it passed through
the entire thickness Of the book
(254 pages), cutting away portions
OF the running title and text. On
fly leaf of the book is written:
"Wounded February 9, 1868, at
Moscow, Tenn, while in command
Of the picket guard" The book
was evidently in a breast pocket of
Captain Dare's coat when the fatal
shot was fired that gave him his
death wound. After the lapse Of
more than eight years this touching
memento of a brave soldiers life
and death is sent by some friend or
comrade to find the sister or other
relative Of the dead hero, but loses
its way in the mails, and ends its
journey III the dead-letter office.
We trust this notice may fall under
the eye Of Miss Dare, if she be liv-
ing, or be brought to the notice Of
some other friend or acquaintance
of Captain Dare, onr dead but not
forgotten comradc. Will not the

Mr.. Seward was renewing his per
cinial youth under the skies OF
India, at Allahabad, when last heard
from in extended mention, and the
account of his honorings, pleasur-
ings and other doings there come
hither in the shape Of a journal kept
by Miss Olive Risley, one of his
travelling companions and his adopt
ed daughter. lie was invited to
Patealla by a note from the Mahar-
ajah, the precious missivc coming
III gold embroidered silk envelope
tied with cord, to which hung a
seal cas- large as the palm Of my
hand" says the fair writer. Blue
velvet carriages were sent for the
party, the Maharajah himself com
ing to meet them, and they were
escorted to the city gates amid an
escort Of soldiery, calcium lights,
music and cannon. There twenty
four elephants stood in line, with
"housings Of goldcloth and earrings
that came to their feet" Mr.. Sew
ard and the ladies climbed up the
sides of those magnificent animals
by ladders of silver, and seated
themselves in howdahs Of gold
cushioned with crimson velvet;
thus they entered the city. Three
miles they rode the elephant,
through avenues of torches, until
they alightcd at gorgeous palace.
''This is yours" said the Maharaiah
to Mr.. Seward AS they entered. The
next day they were treated to an
elephant fight, and held a reception,
where they sat Oh gold chairs, and
saw dancing girls, and the Mahara
al gave Mr.. Seward turban and
each Of the ladies a cashmere shawl.
The Maharajah did not wear his
best clothes on this occasion, but he
showed them to the ladies, telling
them that one coat cost $4,000. To
do them honor, he wore his turban
with thirty-six diamonds Gas big as
the ends Of my fingers" and neck
lace Of the same. They each had
an elephant to ride home on in the
moonlight. Reading this account,
one is at loss to know which to
consider the most fortunate, the
ladies in having such a travelling
companion as Mr.. Seward, or the
lively ex-Secretary in having such
sprightly chroniclcrs ofhis triumph
al progress.
