FAMILY CLAssES-Thsre are many neigh
borhoods, both in city and country, where II
10 not practicable to gather a sufficient number
or children to make Sunday school, but yet
where Sunday. school work can te proatably
pursued. Some parents, who do not care enough
for religious instruction TO encourage their chi-
dren TO attend large school at little distance,
would be quite willing that a neIgbbor should
Invite them to her own house for an hour on
Sunday afternoon. BY this means single
class might be taught with more freedom than
Is otherwise possible. A woman of tact and
real teaching ability could In many cases do
more good by such method than In the ordi-
nary one. Being well acquainted with the par
ents, and having constant opportunity to note
the influence which surround their little ones,
she could adapt herself more readily to special
needs. Some Of the restraints which aio nee
oessary for the good Of the whole In large
school could safely be ignored In this family
class, and a little management, with a great
deal OF heart, would secure the spontaneo
devotion Of the children.
Another advantage would be the utilizing of
VIII al may be called the stay-st home talent of
manv Christian women. Some women, abuu-
denlly abls to instruct children In All inior-
NAL, social way, fail when put in charge OF a
class In the Sunday school. The methods
which prove best Tor the majority OF teachers
are not suited TO them-they are what Saul's
arnlor was to David. Moreover mothers are
frequently kept at home by the care of young
children, and, unless they cau take class in
their own house, cannot take one at all.

A WARNING TO SrRIKERs.--The case OF
James o. Chambers, indicted during the season
Of strikes last summer for feionious assault up
on James Brownlee, a non-strlker, was dis.
posed Of In General Sessions few days ago,
the prisoner being sentenced for seven years.
The history of the case Is as follows: On the
9th of June last James Brownlee, a carpenter,
went to work in a shop on East Forty-irst ST.,
| near First Avenue, when Chambers and auoth-
er man, both members OF trades-unions, enter
ed the shop and accused him Of recreancy to
| the cause in working for less than the Union
prices. Chambers then drew pistol aud men-
aced Brewnlee with It, Next he threw Brown
lees tools from the window, and again drew his
| pistol, but was dissuaded from using II by his
] companion, who then went In search Of other
| strikers, leaving Brownlee In Chambers charge
The latter then compelled Brownlee to leave
his work and come with him into the street,
| when hn drew his pistol u third time, and pre-
senled it al Ills head, with the words, "This Is
the way We treat such sort as yotl,' and fired,
| the ball entering Brownlee's cheek, and carrying
away porlisn Of his jaw.
Chambers plead not guilty, contrary tO the
| advice of his counsel, who wished him TO pload
TO the charge Of miuor assault, for which five
"aaiz Il th9 maximum sentence, Being exam
H., ia witness In his own behalf,
, ined ms the sv.- ~ nf cemplalnants .
Chambers confessed the tru... WAR
story, alleging, however, that during his Cow.
| sation with complainant the latter had struck
HIN witha saw upon the head. This was be-
| for, the parties went into the street. In sum-
| ming up the case, District Attorney Sullivan
said: The first consideration of the juy, after
! satisfying themselves Of the facts, is to so de-
eide the case as to vindicate the law and pre-.
serve The public peace and order. These work
men, misguided as they may have been, were
engaged In an unlawful act they were tres
passing in the building they bad entered, and
MT peacefully assembling, as the law entities
lhpm 10 do, 10 consider matters Of their rights
and Interests. They visited the complainant
while at his work, TO intimidate him and drive
him from it, The assault was therefore = great
offence, not against the complainant only, but
OF character 10 iutertcrc with tue rights Of the
whole people. IL was a9 attempt to prevent
men from pushing their daiiy labor for the sup
port of their families, aud as such amounted TO
nothing less than riot, violent aud dangerous,
which made it imperatively the office Of the
law to vindicate the public order and peace.
The Jury remained out about halt an hour
and brought in verdict of guilty, with TO
commentator TO mercy, and Recorder Hackett
sentenccd Chambers as above.

A Good story Is told of Judge Rice. About
the commencement Of the war he made
speech in North Alabama In which he said
that the Southern soldiers could whip the
yankees with pop guns. Since the war, he chan

A big double jointed fellow was present who
heard and remembered the former speech. and
being In 10 admirable frame of mind, concluded
to go for Sam. Rolling up his sleeves and put
ting his fist in tho PLAN of his hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question:
''Sam Rice, didn't you make speech hers
