and appreciatiye compensation OF the

The present position of President
Grants administration, is summed up in
leading editorial of one of the most in
fluential daily journals in the country as
satisfactory to the large majority of the
American people. 1t says the ''people
stand off like spectators on the
shore They look upon their Presi-
dent as a rugged rock, firm as the ''per-
petual hills" against which the waves
of hate and passion lash most angry
but Intellectual fury. Sternly, relent-
lessly, every shock is received and beat
en- back without diminution of its
strength. More than this the people
have learned. They already know that
this rugged, unyielding rock is scanned
with richest veins of gold and silver, and
that within it is full of precious gems;
the heart to which tie country may ap-
peal; the affection in which the dis
tressed may confide; the integrity that
is like FURNISHED steel the patriotism
that is like the emblems on the banners
of the brave and free-all this is includ-
ed in the life, in the will of the Presi-
dent" With such Endorsement and with
the pages of history already filled with
the record of great achievements in war
and peace, and an unparalleled admins
trative success the nation may well be
proud of their soldier President.

Does not our brother Spencer see that

acknowledged that a ta{s6bo0d oft re-

rather wear sackcloth and sit in ashes

And. then again, though our brother
Spencer may never see any practical
carrying out of the open communion
principle, by the members of different
denominations falling into each others
arms in loving embrace, or crowding
each others communion table, nay,
though there should not be, Gas there
probably is noD an interchange of

does he not know that in
our times high-sounding platitudes are

PERFECT FEET THINGS OF THE PAST.
Many exquisites of both sexes claim
admiration for their pedal extremities,
but it is the boots and shoes which cover
them that we are called on to admire.
Their feet, if barred, would present a
very great divergence from the classical
idea of beauty. The firmly planted foot,
neither too large nor too small, but just
ly proportioned to the hight and weight
it sustains, the smooth surface and reg
ularly curved lines, the distinctness of
the divisions, and the perfect formation
of each toe, with its well-marked sepa-
rateness and its graduation of size and
regularity of detail to the tip of the
nail, are now to be seen only in art.

INSECTS TO END THE HUMAN RACE.
DR.. LIE Conte, the new president OF
the a. @sociation, read paper on the
enormous increase and destructive
ness of injurious insects. The pre-
sent actual annual damage done by
insects to crops in the United
States is over three millions of dol
lars, yet these figures give but an
inkling of what the increase pro
misses for the future. just now,
says DR.. LIE Conte, "a portion OF
the insect tribe are sufficiently nu-
merous by nature 10 infict injury
upon man and his possessions; but
civilization destroys the balances OF
life which naturally keep down in
crease, and permits in the case Of
insects-those previously insigni6-
can't in numbers-to become promi-
nent actors in work of destruc-
tion."
The only methods suggested by
this scientist to avert q calanlitous
plague were "to abandon the crops
and starre out the noxious insects. "
. or to establish "a system of checks
: On theissincrease equivalent to those
: existing before civilization interfer-
cd" Either of these plans are OF
course, impracticable. The impend-
ing dilemma seems 10 be an in
crease of insects so vast that the
plaques Of Egypt will be more
than produced, and that all vegeta-
ton, and finally starving and help
less man himself, Will be eaten"
All Of which argues an early
dropping Of the curtain upon the
feeting show Of life. We quote:
II would not live always; I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark DER the
way;
The few lu id mornings that dawn on US
here
Are enough for lfe's wocs-full enough for
