Whatever sins the Bcecher-Tilton sean
dial may finally disclose, it will probably
have one good result 1t will check the
great intimacy that now prevails, as IL rule,
between popular preacher and his femi-
nine parishioners. Women are more pi
Gus than men. They idealize more than
men. The church means more to them.
They are its main stay. They are apt
to worship God rs embodied in his ser
want who ministers to their spiritual COM
fort, or they hate the devil as embodied in
the ministers whom they dislike. When
a church is divided into two factions. one
for and one against the pastor the women
are ever the tiercest foes. They love or
they hate. Witness the Mccarthy trial
during which separate entrances had to
be provided for the two factions. because
the feminine church members fought so
bitterly. A minister who was driven
from Chicago church. some years ago,
by the active efforts of one lady, said that
he had never believed in Il personal devil
until he met Mrs. . But we are
taking the case of Il popular preacher, Il
Phillips Brooks, with his barrel-fu of
slippers, Dillingham; of Aldrich's fiction,
who would have had to be 4 centipede to
wear all the slippers and hydra to wear
all the smoking-caps he received from adj
miring ladies of his congregation.
Such Il man is, perforce, on very init
mate terms with women. He comes to
them as messenger of the Being they
worship and revere. Their ready fancy
invests him with some Of the attributes of

THE SILVER BELLs.-1n Eastern poetry
they tell of wondrous tree, on which
grew golden apples and silver bells; and
every time the breeze went by and tossed
the fragrant branches, shower Of those
golden apples fell. and the living bells
chimed and tinkled forth their airy
r:,vishment. On the gospel tree therr
grow melodious blossoms, sweeter bells
than those which mingled with the pome-
granates on Aaron's vest: holy feelings.
heaven-taught joys; and when the wind
bloweth where it listeth, the south wind
waketh, when the Holy spirit breathes
upon that soul, there is the shaking down
of mellow fruits, and the flow of healthy
odors all around, and the gush of sweet
est music, where gentle tones and joyful
echoings are waited through the recesses
of the soul. Not easily explained to 9th
ers, and too ethereal to define, these joys
are on that account but the more delight
ful. The sweet sense of forgiveness; the
conscious exercise of all the devout affec-
tions. and grateful and adoring emotions
Godward; the lull of sinful passions, itself
ecstatic music; an exulting sense of the
security of the well-ordered covenant
the oladness of surety, righteousness, and
the Kind spirit of adoption, encouraging
to say, Abba, Father" all the delightful
feelings which the Spirit of God increases
or creates, and which are summed up in
that comprehensive word. Joy in the
Holy Ghost. DR.. James Hamilton.

RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT Our neigh
bors of Her Majesty's dominions, have
much to say of responsible govern
ment," the meaning of which we now
have some prehension of, by recent
events in Victoria, from which the con-
clusion is, that it means mob govern
ment. Mr.. Amos De Cosmos, the edit
or of the Standard, is the premier Of
the Colonial government. and also a
member of tt Canadian Parliament and
the local Parliament. Mr.. D. w. Hig-
gins, the publisher of the ColoniSt, leads
the opposition. and the rivalry of the
two newspapers appears to be the only
question at issue in any of their cleo
tions. Mr.. De Cosmos, being a candi-
date for reelection in the elections now
pending. attempted to address his con.
stituents at a public meeting called for
that purpose, when the opposition as
sembled in force and broke up his meet,
ing by shouts, Kisses and the most black
guard language and demonstrations -
The same mob invaded the House OF
Parliament when in session, forced the
doors, overcame the police, and broke
up the session. These facts we learn
from the Colonist, which defends and
glorifies in them as popular disapproval

BE ECONOMICAL. Look most to your
spending. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money, but in
keeping it. Little expenses, like mice
in barn, when they are many, make
great waste. Hair by hair heads get
bald; straw by staw the thatch goes off
the cottage, and drop by drop the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel is
soon empty, if the tap leaks but drop
a minute. When you mean to save, be-
gin with your mouth; many thieves pass
down the red lane. The ale jug is a
great waste. In all other things keep
within compass. Never stretch your
legs further than your blankets will
reach or you will soon be cold. In
clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff
and not tawdry fneries. To be warm
is the main thing; never mind the looks.
A fool may make money, but it needs
wise man to spend it. Remember, it is
easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one going. If you give all to the
back and board, there is nothing left for
the savings bank. Fare hard and work
hard while you are young, and you will
have chance to rest when you are old.

and equipped, at S17S.033 IL; wide
gauge, $266, ,S76 IA. Subscriptions were
then opened by the Company organized
for that purpose, and within few days
the following were received Lands;
5.406 acres; town lots, 81; cash and
material, $500. These subscriptions.
at low estimate, amount to 25 per cent
of the cost of a wide guage road, which
is considered by railroad capitalists as d
very safe basis upon which to make
advances to be used in construction and
equipment.
In addition to this, Mr.. L. P. Venen:
a responsible property owner in Olym-
pia, makes written proposition to the
Company to be one of sixty to clear and
grade one-fourth of mile each. and
take stock of the Company in payment,
at the engineers estimate of the cost,
which is $44, ,S39 02 for narrow gauge,
and $61. $40 72 for broad guage. This
is very practical proposition, and if
adopted, will insure the completion of
the road in very short time. Judge
K. D. Rice got his first reputation as a
railroad manager by procuring the build
ing of a railroad in that way, (from
Portland to Augusta, if we remember
rightly.) Every land owner on the line
graded and laid the superstructure o
the road through his own land and res
ceived the cost of the same in stock.
That being done, iron and rolling stock
can always be procured on long time
and easy terms on a first mortgage on
the road, as was done in that case.
The report mentions the fact that
the Mp. Railroad now discriminates in
its charges very largely t. favor of
Tacoma. The distance from Kalama to
Tenino &c miles; from Kalama to Taco
ma 1O5 miles; passenger fares from Ka~
lama to Tenino SIS 90; to Tacoma Sc 90.
Freight per 10O1bs, to Tenlno 25 cents
to Tacoma 80 cents. Under an act of
the Territorial Legislature, passed at
the last session, such unjust discrimina-
ton is prohibited under heavy penalties.
No railroad is allowed to charge more
per mile to one place on its line than to
another. If the fare is Sc to Tacoma, it
must be no more in proportion-say
SO 90-to Tenino, and at the same rate
81 80 to Olympia. and freigAts must be
equaiized in the same proportion. This
will give Olympia an advantage of over
20 per cent. over Tacoma in the trans~
portation of passengers and freight be-
tween the Columbia River and Puget
Sound. That advantage is worth utili-
zing.

dren live through the generosity of their
friends" TO many people of Missouri,
says the st. Louis Dispatch, this brief
paragraph will convey more than pass
ing interest. Nine or ten years ago
Baron Boileau was the French Consul
at New York City, trusted and respected
by his government, and popular and ac-
complished in his intercourse with the
people of America.
He married while Consul at New York,
Susan, daughter of Colonel Thomas II.
Benton. The marriage was most hap
py one. But Boileau, while acting in
the capacity of an official agent of the
French Government, violated the laws
of his country by recommending the me-
gotiation of the Memphis and Ell Paso
Railroad bonds. In this he violated the
plain law Of his country. Rigid in all
such matters the French Government
carried out the law to its utmost and i'm
prisoned him. eFremont is a brother
in-law of the Baron, and the same court
which tried and found his connection
guilty, also sentenced the General to
serve number of years. He made
good his escape tlom France, however,
and in the absence of anything like an,
extra dtion treaty will probably keep it
good. There was once period in the
political affairs of Missouri when Col.
Benton was its political autocrat. Trou
bles not few had come to those whom
he uurtured and loved Mrs. Fremont
is thewife of man who has been de-
clared felon, because of a speculation
which had ruined his brother.in-la law,
bankrupted his family, and consigned
his wife and children to charity. An
other daughter, Mrs. William Cary
Jones, now widow. residing in San
Francisco, California, has felt most bit
terly the misfortunes of life and though
not enduring all the privations of ex-
treme poverty, is supporting herself and
children on the small wages paid her as
teacher in the public schools.-Swd

ANOTHER WoRD.-Our attention has
been called to the fact that we did not
specifically deny the charge harped upon
by the Intelligencer, that we had been
guilty of breach of trust in exposing
the telegraphic dispatch from General
Cass to Hon. A. A. Denny. We did not
deem it necessary to do SO, and should
not now but in Difference to others, who
think that silence might appear like a
confession. Every intelligent man,
woman and youth in this community
knows that this dispatch was matter of
public notoriety and discussion for days
before we published it; if there was any
thing private about it, that privacy had
been exposed to the world and exploded
and with it all obligations of secrecy.
In fact it never was private matter;
it was proposition of a Railroad Com
pany through its official head to the
people of Seattle through one of its
representative citizens. 1t was the right
of the Railroad Directors to know it,
and tie right of the people of Seattle to
know it. Otherwise it was dishonora-
BILE and clardestins intrigue, carried on
between General Cass and Mr.. Denny,
broken up by being brought to the
knowledge of the parties most interest
ed, as the Intelligencer represents it.
Neither Mr.. Denny or General Cass
were ever before represented as being
engaged in any disreputable under
handed intrigue, involving the rights of
others without their knowledge or con-
sent. We agreed with Nj. Denny, when
be first showed us the dispatch, that it
would be prudent not to bruit the mat
ter about until consultation could be
had with some of the leading men of the
town as to what answer it would be
proper to return. That compact We
kept; and the statement we
subsequently published was only what
was in possession Of the public, and
belonged to The public. The charge
that we betrayed any confidence, is the
pure invention of an old prostitute hired
to malign private character, more dis
as he is more sneaking and
cowardly than the professional bravo
who stabs for ducat.
