Some tima in 1872, store robbery was COM
uitted in Cedar County. Missouri, and created
much excitement. The sufferers By the robbery
seem disposed never to forget nor forgive the
crime Legal prosecutions and trials are out OF
style in that county. The first man suspected
was named Box, and Box was seized in the night
and hung from limb Of tree. 4 little while
after man named Stegall was suspected and
he was hanged in the same manner. 4 third
person, named Cook, was accused, and Cook was
also summarily hanged. After long lapse OF
time the avengers wont beyond their county
line, and. On the 10th Of July, entered the Torn
of Nevadn at night, seized one Oliver Fraker IN
his bed, carried him mile away, and hanged
hum from tree. They robbed Fraker OF S!o IN
silver coin he had On his person, but overlooked
$40 in greenbacks he hnd in one Of bis pockets
The last victim WAS q harmless, inoffensiEe per-
SOD, and all thought Of his guilt is 1epudiatsd
by his neighbors. Is it not time, however. to
declare that the ends of justice have been satis
fed with the hanging OF four man for the rob-
berry Of country store?

While the International Congress- at Brussels
is discussing the laws OF war, there is another
Congress sitting at Vienua engaged on the in
ternational laws OF health. It is presided over
BY Count AdrasHy. The first Sanitary Congress
was held at ConBtantinop1e in 1866. No prac-
tical steps, however, were taken by that Con-
gress, and the experience Of the last eight years
has demonstrated that, if the second would be
moro successful than tho first, its members must
not contine themselves to tho elaboration OF fin
ished scientific essays. One Of the subjects un-
der discussion Ut the last Congress WAS the
quarantine regulations in cases Of chol-
era. It vas then hoped that the sev-
eral Governments would adopt some COM
mon measures OF quarantine. Unfortu-
nately, their representatives at Constanti-
nople could not agree on matter OF suc.l i'm
portance. The consequence was, each Govern
ment adopted its own quarantine measures,
much to tho annoyance Of other Governments md
Of travellers. 4 rumor that the cholera pre-
vailed in certain quarters has often been sudi-
cient to stop traffic along lines Of roads between
two countries. Numberless instances Of the in
convenience to which travellers have been sub
jected on account Ct toe want of system of
quarantine between contiguous States might be
adduced. The evil at last grew to such dimen-
eions that another Sanitary Conference became
necessity. Invitations we're. therefore, sent by
tho Austrian and Russian Governments to all
the States Of Europe, and to Persia and Egypt,
to participate in a now Congress. In no case
Was the invitation declined. The object
Of the present Congress IS to draw up
general quarantine regulations, but mainly to
Of cholera. trace it to it's sources and through
NIL Its various phases. Count Andrassy is san-
guino that organized effort is equal to accom-
plishing this. This body. it is proposed, shall
be known rs the International Epidemic Com
mission. Stations are to be established for the
study Of the disease and for means to ward it
of. The Constantinople Sanitary Congress
were divided on the question whether cholera
was contagious or rot. Tho present Congress
will probably leave that n,ntter undecided, al
though it assumes in practice that it is.
Great good cannot fail to come from study
OF cholera in the manner proposed. 1t may be
that no infallible remedy will be found ngainst
it. It will, however, be 4 matter Of rejoicing to
know that tho subject has been thoroughly in
yestigated, and that what can be done has been
dono to enlighten uB on its real nature.

There was m interesting debate in the English
Parliament q few days ago, on the Sunday-qucs-
tion. Mr. Peter Taylor moved that sit is de-
moral and intellectual character, by permitting
the opening Of museums libraries, and aiu,ilar
institutions, on Sunday" The motion was
probably an indirect result Of the popular
Museum. Bethuq1 Green is the Five Points
of London. The iberality Of Sir Richard Wal
lace put magnificent museum there. Tho IL
habitants were agog with delight. When SUM-
day came and gave them an opportunity to use
water aud clean linen, they trooped in thousands
to the museum, and found it shut. Their dis
appointment was aggravated, later in the day,
by tie appearance Of scores of carriages carry
ing privileged people to the museum.
SO those who could 60 sightseeing every
day were admitted On Sunday, and those
who had that day alone to spare had
the doors shut in their faces. TIE belief in
the advisability Of modifying tho arbitrary Sun
day laws has since been gaining ground. Mr.
Taylo1s motion was d 'feeler." He made
clover speech in support OF it, He showed Par
lament that the great reformers, Luther and
Calvin, were earnestly opposed to Sabbatariau-
ism. They accepted instead Of ignoring, tho
teachings Of the New Testament on this subject.
Luther passed his Sunday evenings with - Ncin,
Webb, und Gcsang." Calvin played bowls
on Sunday afternoon, on the green in
front Of the church in which he had
thundered out threats against sinners in
the morning. The revival of the Jewish
Sabbath was tho work Of later day. It
was due to Scotland and New England. Mr.
Taylor quoted an Aberdeen elder who eaid that
he would not prohibit walking on Sunday until
GONE substitute for it had been devised" He
instanced the case Of Lord Shaftesbury,
who WAS bitterly attacked by a Scotch
man for writing some verse in which there
Was reference to the laboring claeees
''6ispolting themselves" on Sunday. Lord
Shafteshu1y felt bound to explain that the otrcn-
siye expression referred only to children. Mr..
Taylor might have found parallel absurdities in
New England customs and laws. The decisions
OF the Massachusetts courts are rich in ref
efences to Sabbath legislation. At the
close Of Mr. Taylor's speech, his motion
WAS rejected b. yery heavy major

ity. OF course, the High Church party
voted against it, but the main cause of its 1steat
is said to have been the opposition shown to It
by wozLingmen themselves. They feared that
thu opcninc OF the museums libraries. ETC.,
would be but q prelude to tho opening Of shops
and stores, and that their day of rest would thus
disappear. Yet the two workingmen who are

Mr. Taylor. The question is to be revived at
the next session Of Parliament.

| British CoIumbia ioined her fortunes to the
Dominion of Canada three years ago. One OF
the conditions Of the union was that the Do
| minion should commence grand continental
railway to the Pacific coast within two years, and
| that it should be completed in ten. Then came
| the Canadian Credit 3Iobilier scandal; change
in the Ministry followed; and it looks now as if
the contamination Of the contract On the part Of
the Dominion WAS postponed, and wisely go, to
| the indefinite future. Meantime Columbia is 3
part Of the Dominion; she has her representa-
tiyes in Parliament; and the question is, What is
she going to do about the failure OF the present
| Government to carry out the promises Of the
preceding Ministry? As yet, no definite action
has been taken on either eide. Mr. Mackenzie,
the present Premier, pleads the physical impos-
sibiity Of building the road within the
| time specified and hence the Dominion must
perforce be released from that part OF the obi
CATION; but he and his associates seem to be
| making no arrangements to even commence the
| work at any definite time in the future.
Our advces from the Pacific Coast intimate
that some OF tue Columbians are becoming rest
i've under this state Of things. Previous to the
union, 3 very considerable party we're urging the
annexation Of their territory to the United
States The Rocky Mountains and vast
stretches OF country, much OF it utterly WORTH
less and desolate, isolated them perfectly from
ali other English subjects in North America.

voyage around half the world, wero with our Pa

Same language and being under virtually the
same laws, they could see hundred reasons for
asking for admission into the American Union to
one for remaining under the British flag. Pride
OF loyalty probably Kept thom from max
ing any open movement; but that it
was likely soon to make itself felt there can be
no doubt It was a knowledge of that fact chat
probably induced Canadian statesmen promptly
to grant all TINT the Columbians asked. With the
union all disahection ceased. for they were great

German.American School.

The annual examination of this sterling
institution was held last evening at the
Globe Theatre. The attendance was quite
large, and it is pleasant to note that fact,
for all efforts and every exertion put for
ward in the cause Of the training of the
youth OF the land are so many steps toward
achieving lasting benefits for the present
and future generations.
The German American School has now in
daily attendance about 23O pupils, boys and
girls. The curriculum is divided into four
classes-preparatory, third, second and first
class. The examination last evening demon
strated that the system of tuition adopted
by the directors is very successful. The
pupils showed remarkable proficiency and
aptness, and the result OF :he exam ination
reflects the highest credit upon the pro-
fessors in charge of the various depart
ments.
This evening the various exhibition exer-
cises will be held. The programme, which
is lengthy and varied, will include some
musical performances, recitations, dialogues
and declamations.
Parents and friends are earnestly invited
to attend. The exercises will begin at half
past six o'clock.
