A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-The following
beautiful sentiment was recently uttered by
Judge l.. L. Snead: j.
''fhe idea that the judicial officer is sup.
posed to be vested with ermiDe, though fabu-
fous and mythical, is yet more eloquent in its
significance. We are told that the little crea
ture called ermine is so acutey sensitive as to
its own cleanliness that it becomes paralyzed
and powerless at the slightest touch of dehle-
ment upon its snow white fur. When the
hunters are pursuing it they spread with mire
the pass leading to it's haunts,' toward which
they then draw it, knowing that it will submit
to be captured rather than de6le itself. And
like sensibiity should belong to him who
comes to exercise the august functions of
Judge"

The Herald Presses In Working Order
Again-A Word to Our Advertisers
and Subscribers.
1t is hardly necessary to call the attention
OF our subscribers, advertisers and readers to
the fact that our presses are in working order
again, for the appearance Of the HERALD this
morning shows that. The interruption and
inconvenience caused by the breaking Of the
shaft in our press machinery, the night before
last were relieved in part by the kind con-
sderation of some of our contemporaries.
Through availing ourselves of the offer of the
presses of the World, Tribune Sunday Dispatch
and Standard, we were able to issue the paper
yesterday morning. But with this aid we

deficient and quaint appearance, like that Of

The British Parliament and tho Race
for the Derby.
~ - s,--s. -. ;. !.

u s-s- 'e.-
The session Of the English House Of Com
mons was enlivened last night by the occurrence
of an animated debate on the congenial national
subject of horse racing. Premier Gladstone,
having ridden his favorite hobby on the Wash
ington Treaty and indirect damages stakes
question to what he regards as an agreeable
and profitable winning post, has determined
to enjoy veritable relaxation on EPSON Downs
by Witnessing the race for the Derby. The
great turf event comes off to-day, SO the Pre-
mier moved that the Parliament adjourn from
yesterday to Thursday, in order that the
members should be able to attend the famous
equine contest The motion was opposed by
Tom Hughes. The author of 'sTom Browns
School Days aud of the "Scouring Of
the White Horse championed the cause of
the social reformers. He endeavored to
draw the national mind back TO the
bearing of its first religious standpoint He
pointed to the fact that the Legislature de-
voted two hours only to the observance of AS
cension Day, while the Chief of the Ministry
proposed to give four and twenty hours to the
Derby. He asserted that the English race
course had introduced an insidiously corrupt
system of gambling in the land. He professed
his admiration of the more manly sports of
international boat racing, cricket and the like.
Mr.. Gladstone's motion was carried, despite
the opposing reasons by u vote Of 2l2 to So;
so that Mr.. Hughes effort was rendered futile
by the popular reverence for the traditions Of

or deems possible the early restoration OF the
empire. In these circumstances, If the repub-
hcans play their cards wisely, the game must
De admitted to be in their hands.
A republic in France, well launched and
Wen guided and resulting in success, is the
one thing which is wanted to stir up the slum-
Derlng republican sentiment in the other ma
tions OF Europe. Spain waits her opportu-
nifty, and looks hopefully to France for encour-
agement and support. Italy, although not
dissatisfied with the progress she has made
towards national unity and consolidation, has
warm republican heart beating in her breast
and dourshing republic across the Alps
would soon nerve her arm and arouse her 70
action. A republic in reconstructed GERMANY
is pronounced by some q remote possibility.
In this view we do not concur Those who
remember 1848 know how warm and how gene
raj then was the republican sentiment and
how strong was the republican arm. The con-
dition of Germany to-day is more favorable
for great republican effort than it was in
1848. The progress of German unity has
been republican gain. The governments are
fewer, and the barriers, consequently, to
united national effort are less The republic
in Germany may not be near; but
German intelligence will, sooner or later de-
mand it, and healthful and peace-loving repub-
lie on her border would encourage the demand.
Were the contagion beginning to spread Aus
tria would find herself impotent to offer re-
sistance, and even Russia in due time would
be compelled to succumb. The Scandinavian
nations are naturally lovers Of liberty and
equal rights and Sweden and Denmark would
not be slow to follow the common example.
In the event of great wave of republican SEN
timent passing over and revolutionizing
Europe, Belgium and Holland would disap-
pear from the map of Europe. The one would
be lost in France and the other in Germany
AS for England, she is rushing already with
railroad speed towards the republican goal
What is wanted, as we have said, to revolu-
tionize Europe is good example. In the
United States the peoples Of Europe behold
successful experiment. glorious example
But they need an example nearer home. That
example can best be presented by France for
France, in spite Of her fall, is still the pivotal
nation Of Europe Believing, as we do, that the
successful establishment Of the republic in
France will be the salvation of France and
the commencement Of q happier era for the
peoples Of Europe, we wish the experiment
early and complete success. Let the better day
dawn. It cannot dawn too soon, for the night
Of oligarchical tyranny has been long and
dreary. Let the peoples triumph. Let right,
not might, prevail.

The Recent Tugboat Explosion.

A terrible warning was given to the owners
and captains Of the numerous tugboats that
ply on the river and bay in the explosion Of
the Epsilon on Monday. Ordinarily defec-
tive boiler is the cause of these frightful dsas-
ters; but in this case the calamity is said to
have its origin in carelessness and neglect,
allowing the water in the boiler to run low
while the fires were in full blast. It is hard to
imagine how an engineer can be SO remiss in
his duty knowing that he must be the first
victim should the imprisoned giant over which
he is sole keeper escape from his iron cell; yet
it is we ore told, not uncommon for engineers
and firemen to let the water supply take care
Of itself, and thus brave death in its most
dreadful form. The boiler of the Epsilon was
considered one of the strongest on the river
and was inspected few days ago with salts
factory results; therefore nothing but gross
carelessness could have caused such fright
full disaster. The question naturally occurs
whether engineers Of ferryboats and excursion
steamers are liable to similar forgetfulness of
their duty, and whether the thousands that
venture their lives on the river may not be
sacrificed at any moment by such criminal
recklessness Steamboat owners should there
fore, exercise considerable caution and iudg-
ment in the selection Of engineers. 1t is bad
enough to have rotten boilers without the addi-
tional curse Of incompetent or rash engineers.
Carelessness is not confined to tugboats, but may
he found on some Of the principal railroads.
About the same time that the Epsilon blew up
q collision occurred between two trains on the
New Jersey and New Jersey Central Railroads,
crossing at Elizabeth, in which there was a
hairsbreadth escape from frightful loss of life.
A broken brake and q misunderstanding in
regard to time caused the collision. Thus on
land or water we find nothing but criminal
recklessness, by which human life is constantly
placed in jeopardy. Conductors and engineers
are solely responsible in many cases, and as
their duties gre plainly marked out for them
they should not forget that thsig own lives are
.. Stake as well as those entrusted to their care

The Labor Movement.

For some weeks peaceful struggle has been
in progress in our midst which promises to
modify considerably the relations Of working
men and their employers. With peril
nacity seldom exhibited by popular bodies,
except in the pursuit of great social ideas
which have taken firm hold of the people, the
trades men of this city have year after year
made efforts to force the adoption of the eight
hour system. Until the present moment
those efforts have been made in vain; but it
would appear that the time has at last come
when the workingmen are about to achieve a
final triumph. In some trades the employers
have accepted the terms proposed by the men,
and the success SO achieved has encouraged
other trades to claim similar advantages.
So far the movement has been conducted
with discretion and forethought creditable to
the good sense both of the men and their en-
ployers. In some instances ill-considered
words were spoken by hot-headed advocates
on both sides, but no attempt has been made
to interfere with the free action of individuals
The men on strike have done wisely in eschcw-
ing all violence or intimidation. BY their
judicious conduct they have attracted an
amount of popular sympathy which would
have been turned against them had any resort
been made to bludgeon arguments. They cam
not do better than continue in the way they
have entered upon, and whether final success
attends them or not they will at least have
secured the good will of their fellow citizens.
1t may not be desirable thing to have re-
course TO strikes, and no doubt their frequent
recurrence has tendency to unsettle trade,
but as no other means are at the disposal Of

essential. AS for war we don't

only three boys here under S
months old and one girl. But

ly and fine, and as for the war
question, we hear but little, and
instead Of that we have prayer
meetings twice and sometimes
thrice & week. We think this is
one of the best meetings that the
children of God enj"y in this
world. We have no church house
in this place, but the Baptist
brethren have one about a quarter
of II mile from here. Their pas,
| tor is u nice man. There are two
young Baptist preachers who
preach here when their brother is
absent. Mr.. Power, a Cumber-
land, breaches here sometimes,
and a young brother. The Bah
list brethren have opened their
church doors and bid them come
IN ana preach. Inns speaks wei
for them.
A. S. Sloan's church is about l ]
miles from Molino. He Is n fine
man. His people stcrmed him
with the good things OF this life,
which he received with a heart
full of thanks to his people, and
more to God, who gave them the
heart to do so.
A. B. Coleman is preaching at
Lebanon church weekly, which is
about two miles from the village.
