/ ALondon clergyman, the Rev. Mr.. Machon-
chic, head of the Ritualistic movement, gives
q dreadful account of the profligacy existing
in the British metropolis. Speaking of his
own parish, he says: g 1t is no exaggeration
for me to state that am surrounded by 5000
prostitutes and thieves; the remainder is made
up OF the poorest class of venders of fish and
vegetables, a sprlngling of Irish, and num-
bers of Italians, and other foreigners Young
and old, male and female, eat, drink and sleep
together indiscriminately, in places so filthy
that farmer would consider them unfit for
pigs His hearer inquired if the dwellings,
of the people were not under the surveillance
of the police. The parson said: "No. I
look upon this dreadful system of living as
the bottom of .learly all the evils in our social
system; from it spring all the other evils by
which we are. afflicted, but the government
seems unwilling Or unable to assist us. in put
ting it down." T ''"a ,,'" s''.',.@ ~ .'t
/ "IEcould not describe to you," says the
same reverend gentleman, ''the scenes of
horror which might be constantly witnessed
from our own window, and nothing short of
a cry Of murder brings the police to otr aid
So long as decencv and order reign in tho
great thoroughfaress they seem to care moth
ing for the deeds of darkness p which are per-
petrated in open day in these back slums
THE other Iday 7 Vas Compelled to wit
ness acts of dreadfull brutality sent for
the officers, who seemed ito treat the matter
very ,coolly, and when / expostulated with
them for permitting such acts of horror and
inhumanity, they actually told me that 1t
served as right, and that we had ought to
have known better than to build church and
schools in SO, low a nelghborhood.' A state
of affairs such as this preceded the first revo-
luton of France in 1889, and much Of the
brutality of this arose from the neglect with
which the suffering of the poor had been pre-

The upper classes meanwhile are revelling in

Queen with the fortune of $35, ZOO, 600 which
she had amassed, is the only one who exhibits
any sign of thrift or economy. The Prince
of Wales is head and shoulders in debt, and
the Dukes of Hamilton and Newcastle, with
many of the other leading mobiles, are in
yolyed in bankruptcy by their extravaganza,

A writer of an English magazine remarks /;
OF daily newspapers there are one hundred
and twenty in the United Kingdom, of which
eighty eight are in England: one in, Wales
eleven in Scotland; nineteen In Ireland; and
one in the Channel Island. Sixty-one are

much greater than our own. There are, at
least, five thousand two hundred newspapers
published in the United States, of which Eve
hundred and fifty are daily papers. tits diff

ish every year. as. ,tf,. .s,.r lgrss /.
But what of the quality of American jour
nalism? have no hesitation in affirming
that, on the whole, it is as high as our own.
They have no daily paper like our Times, but
they have hundred as good as our best pa
pers, except the Times. The s1eyeling upn
effect by education and public opinion, which
has raised the mass, of the American people
above that of England, he's also raised the
press to q higher average standard. II would
be easy to contradict this Sy citing many ex-
amples of coarseness, scurrility, and bad
taste, culled from five thousand papers; but
the fact remains as to the general high tone

Press. ! affirm this from personal study of

7Explanation Of IsIushing.

An emotion sometimes pleasdrabie, some
times painful takes possession of themind,
and thereupone a hot flush is felt, the skin
grows hot and according to the intensity of
the emotion the changes are confined to the
cheek only, or extend to the stroots Of the
hail, /" .ora.Sall overt @aYlS btl 5n'3GJIH5
What is the cause of these changes? The
blood is red and hot fluid; the skin. .reddens
and grows hot because its vessels, suddenly
contain an increased quantity of this red and
hot fluid; and its vessels contain more be-
cause the small arteries suddenly dilate, the
natural moderate contraction of their muscles
being superseded by . state of relaxation.
On the other hand, In many people extreme
terror causes the skin to grow cold, and the
face to appear pale and apinched. Under
these circumstances the supply; of blood to
the skin is greatly diminished In consequence
Of an excessive stimulation of the nerves of
the small arteries, which causes them to con.
tract, and 50 cut off the supply of blood.

PATAGONIA INFANTS .-Their superstitions
make them regard as divinities all phenome-
nal children, principally such as are born
with larger number of fingers or toes than
is natural. According to their belief such
child is presage of great happiness for their
family. As to those that are altogether de-
formed-such cases are very rare--or whose
constitution does not appear to fit them for
the kind of life they would have to lead,
they make away with them, either breaking
their limbs or smothering them; they then
abandon them, without burial, to the wild
hogs and birds of prey. If the innocent
little creature is considered worthy to live,
it becomes from that instant the object of the
entire love of its parents; who, if necessary,
will submit to the greatest privations to satisfy
its least wants or exactions. They place
their newborn on small ladder, which
serves it instead of cradle. The upper por-
ton of its little body rests on the cross pieces
or rounds, ranged close together and covered
with sheepskin, while the lower part is en-
closed in sort of hollow, formed by other
cross pieces below the uprights. The child
is held in this position by soft cords wound
above the skins, which serve it instead of
linen.-1hree Years AnaOng the PatagOaians

Of young men determined to reform him, and
one day read an imaginary paragraph from

ears at this, and requested that the paragraph,

as that of the Kellenberg Bridge overthe Leck,

ENERGY OF Whit is energy Of viii that
is the soul of the intellect; wherever It is,
there Is life, where it ID not, all iB dullness,
dependency and desolation. People who
have no experience of it imagine that it is
destructive to the nerves, exhaustive of the
animal spirits that it agravates the wear and
tear of life excessively. But this is an idle
notion, as idle as the habits and humOrs of
those who entertain it. We leave 1t to any
man who knows its real effects, to strike the
balanceLto compare IN exhaustion Of an in
dolent day with that of an active oney to say
IN which of the two cases the subject is in
better heart for work and filter to undergo it,
Whatever we may be about, one thing we
believe is certain, that If the spirits are spent
by energy they are utterly wasted by idleIiess;
at worst energy can only end In relaxation
II Is superior 70 II for o while, and possibly
actual relaxation from first to last, and can
be nothing else, But even this view, favora-
BILE as it is, is yet not favorable enough to be
just The fact is that violence is not neces-
sary to energy any more than tyranny is to
kingship; on the contrary, IL Is the greatest
energy that does the most work. Energy,
literally from the Greek, means inward work
ingness; the blooming of the, flower Is en-
ergy, the increase Of fruit is energy, the
growth of the body is energy yet in all
these there are no violence !; the efficacy is
not destructive but vital; without 1t the
whole frame must fall at once into corrup,
ton, with it, instead of corruption we have
life. But this, II may be said, is refine4
rnent 1t may be so, but it is true in fact
nevertheless. The gainsaycr win find it diff
cult to produce anything from the subject of
surer or more essential truth. ~ ..t'~

1t really appears, says an English magazine
writer, that men may have serious attacks of
disease an. know little or nothing about it.
Here is curious instance: Some gentlemen
had been supping together and had after
wards taken to pipes. y One ofthem laid down
his pipe and said he was struck with paralyl
sis. His friends declared that they could see
nothing of 1t, but he persisted that his mouth
was draMn on one side. and lie asked a friend
to accompany him home Il This friend called
to see him next day, but found him, very, an
cry with his barber for not seeing any change
in him. But in the Course of the day his I'M

rare that an anonymous account of it was
published in medical work. AT this time

We do not vouch for the truth of the fol-
lowing, which we clip from an exchange /.
There is a. banker in Philadelphia, by the side
of whose handwriting even the pennanship
of Horace Greeley seems symmetrical and
beautiful. Well, this banker was prosecuted
by life-insurance agent who wanted him to
take out policy. The victim stood it for n
while, but finally one day he kicked the agent
out of the office, Then the tormentor began
to send notes to the unhappy wretch, explain
ing the endowment system, and asking If any
of his aunts ever suffered from torpidity of
the liver. AT last the banker wrote to the
heartless fiend as follows: "You diabolical
scoundrel, if you send another line to me
will come around to your office and blow out
what little brains you haye!" When the life
insurance man received this he turned it up
and down, and held it sideways and stood
before mirror with it, and examined it with
a microscope, and called in six or seven ex-
perts; but, after all, he couldn't determine
with any degree of certainty what it meant.
To ascertain, he presented it at the paying
teller's desk in the bank, and that worthy,
without moment hesitation, paid $5, 900 on
it, believing it to be check for. that amount
There is one agent less in that city than there
was week or two ago, and one more banker
who betrays symptoms of insanity when the
subject of ife-insurance is mentioned in his
presence.
