eral Pavia. True, the transmission of
private kilograms has been suspended and
the government reports only what it pleases,
and every point in Madrid is occupied by the
military The revolution, though complete
SO far, has only commenced as regards the
future Of Spain. Undoubtedly the restoration
of monarchy is contemplated, but that may be
accomplished only through much bloodshed
and a prolonged civil war. Nor is it likely
that could last long. Spain, from one end
to the other, is upheaved by a political and
moral earthquake.
With regard to this revolution in Spain we
have despatch from Washington showing
that the administration is diplomatically sor-
rowful, or pretends to be so, at the fall of
CASTELAR,. 1t was not supposed, it is said, that
the CASTELAR, government would be of long
duration, and change was expected,
but not in the manner shown by
the news from Madrid. How won
derfully sagacious our government is
How far-seeing our State Department
The American people cannot have
forgotten that it is only few days since
confidence was expressed in the CASTELAR, gov
eminent and since Secretary Fish sacrificed
the honor of the country and claims of hu-
manity in order, as pretended, to sustain
CASTELAR, andI the Spanish Republic. That
was the whole argument used to justify the
most shameful surrender in the virginius
affair. The Republic of Cuba, republi-
canism on American soil, the slavery

Shad and Herring Fisheries.

The season for the prosecution of shad
and herring fishing in North Carolina
waters has already commenced. The
Baltimore American says the supply will
gradually increase, until it reaches fifty
and then one hundred barrels per day.
The first North Carolina shad are caught
in Albemarle and Pamico sounds, in
stake nets, each thirty six feet long, and
$4,000 or 10000 of these nets are set,
and fished by men in small boats, 200
GETS being managed by one boat From
FIVE hundred thousand to a million shad
are caught in this way every season
These fish are at once packed in ice and
in fifteen hours are in Norfolk, and in
twenty four hours after being caught in
Baltimore. From there many are shipped
to points in the West In March the
North Carolina fisheries about Edenton
are in full blast, the enormous hauls of
shad and herring being landed by means
of seines At least one million shad and
many more herring are caught, the ship
ments reaching from one hundred to FIVE
hundred large boxes each day. The
North Carolina fish are considered
superior, because they are caught as soon
as they leave the sea, aud are always fat
and in excellent condition. Shad first
reached Baltimore this season early in
January, having been caught ia the St.
river, Florida, and brought to
Baltimore by the Savannah steamers.
These fish are generally poor, and while
North Carolina shad now sell at $50 per
hundred, the Florida article commands
but $50. The Potomac and Maryland
shad and herring fishermen commence
operations about the lst OF April, and the
same fish are caught in the waters north
of Baltimore until as late as May and
June

Why People Don't Go to Church.

Why do not people go to church more !?
One thinks it is this, and another thinks
it is that. You may open church in a
hovel and let voice go forth that has the
power of touching men, and you will fnd
it crowded and thronged. You do not
went the cobs that used to have corn.
That which man wants is sapppy food,
refreshing food. Men are willing to be
dealt with, to have their sins flashed in
their faces, willing to have their con
scieuces aroused, but do not want to be
handled they want a preacher that takes
hold of them in some way, and if he can
do more than that /; if he can give to them
that which every man consciously needs
some men have aspiration, and some
more indulge in superficial thought-and
if he can give him strength to bear his
burden, men that are sore in life, men
who are in sorrow, women who don't know
how to bring up their children, and who
are continually having more and more
added to their flock people who want to
know where the next hod of coal is com
ing from; people who are afraid of the
sheriff ; men who are pricked with the
ten thousand nettles of human hfe-they
come to church and hear a long discussion
on the fall of Adam. Well, that is not
inopportune, but still they're so fat them
selves that they feel as If they would like
to know something that deadens the
struggle that is going on with them they
want some one who will take part with
them, minister who brings God down to
the side of men, not as an everlasting 9
coudemner, but one who brings God
down as present held in time oi

Methodism in this Country.

The eighty seventh annual meeting oil
the Philadelphia Methodist Episcopal
Conference at Easton, serves to call at
tention to the remarkable growth of this
denomination. All the other churches
are increasing in fellowship, wealth, and
Influence, but Methodism is like the grain
OF mustard seed, and multiplies beyond
all measure. The Philadelphia confer
ence includes this city and few neigh
boring counties, and has nearly 10000
members, 294 church buildings, 800
preachers, 6,14I teachers and officers Of
Sunday schools, and 40, lS2 scholars iu
the same. When we come to look at the
denomination in the nation, the Fl lures
are even more amazing because their re
lative proportions are greater At the
present time the Methodist Episcopal
Church, including her various branches
IN the United States, numbers, nineteen
thousand regular ministers and twenty
four thousand local preachers, with three
million members in her common, and hav.
ing direct spiritual influence over ten
millions Of the population.
1t is the privilege of the secular news
paper, which goef into every home, and
is read by persons of all shades of reli
gious belief, to discuss the principles and
practice of the several churches into
which the great body of Christians are
divided, as well as the other forms Of
mems faith, without subjecting its mo
tives to criticism and having its imparti
ality questioned. The development of
Methodism certainly invites comment
1t is building churches at every corner
Of the cities and in every hamlet, and
thousands are daily seeking its fold 1t
was Methodsm that inspired the Ohio
temperance crusade, and the women who
go about from saloon to saloon, proving
that "prayer is mighty and must prevail"
arc Mcthodsts There must be some
cause underlying these facts, and it is
easy of discovery.
Methodism is essentially suited to the
lowly. 1t was made for the masses. 1t
appeals directly to the sympathics and
passions of the human heart, and it re
qui:es 20 vast degree of learning to com
prehened is simple tenets. Indeed, it
may be said to be the democracy of de
nomlnationalism, being wholly free from
the stiff Journalism Of some other sects,
and worshipping the Saviour with almost
the simplicity with which he held those
first open air services on the Mount of
Olives nearly two thousand years ago
There is no ritual and no symbolism, and
the sinner is brought face to face with
his God. 1t requires no long penaucc,
and 30 pledge but faith. For these rea
sons it must always remain the popular

Balky Horses.

Tie Society for the Prevention of Cru
city 20 Animals puts forth the following
rules for the treatment of balky horses,
which will bear reproduction
L Pat the horse upon the neck
examine the harness carefully, first on
one side and then on the other, speaking
encouragingly while doing so then jump
into the wagon and give the word to go
generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking him
out Of the shafts and making him 90
around in a narrow circle till he is giddy
If the first dance OF this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
3. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and sh at
off his wind until lie wants to go, and
then let him go.
f. The brain of horse seems to enter,
taiu but one idea at time therefore con
tinued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him new subject to think
of, you will generally have no trouble in
starting him \ simple remedy is to take
couple of turns of stout twine around
the fore leg, just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel, and tie in q
bow knot. At the first check he will
generally go dancing off, and after going
short distance you can get out and re
move the string, to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive
Take the tail Of the horse between
the hind legs, and tia it by cord to the
saddle girth.
g. Tie string around the horses ear
close to his head.

Details Of the Great Famine in India.

A correspondent of the London Ncps,
in letter to that paper descriptive Of the
India famine, says: The scarcity
spreads over wide track along the foot
of the Himalays boundaries of Nepaul
stretching FROM Dude to near Darjeeiing,
remote districts removed from the rail
roads and other means Of unication,
and difficult of approach Lord North
brook informs me that the most serious
distress is threatened in fifteen districts
in addition to the Teras, comprising a
total population of &c, ,000,000
"This is not all Twelve other districts,
with 100000 people, are threatened
and are described as almost entirely with
out roads and water The coolies and
laborers feel the pinch most, owing to the
total suspension of work in the rice fields
The government contemplated prior to
the outbreak of the distress, certain public
works. First irriGating canals secondly,
the Northern Bengal Railroad aud lastly
the embankmcnt of the Gunkuck river
In the first named, $4,000 labores have
been employed. Their wages were paid,
and money exchanged for food at the
adjacent government store. Lord North
brook says the government has arranged
for sufficient food till May, with large
reserves to meet any contingency.
"The calculations are based on former
famines, but it seems doubtful whether
they will prove adequate, owing to the
fact that in previous famines large num-
bers died without asking for relief. Tho
district at present is more remote, and
transportation is growing difficult for want
of food for the cattle" The correspondent
concludes as follows: From what | have
seen since my arrival believe "First.
That neither the government nor the
people can tell the precise actual position,
nor proguosticate there future. Secondly
The government is most fully alive to its
responsibility, and measures have been
! taken to fully cope with the difficulties
Thirdly. The absence of railroads in the
remote districts is mostly dreaded, as the
government is thus without means for the
avoidance of grave obstacles"
DR.. Paul Schoeppe was again brought
! before Judge Brown, of Baltimore, Satur-
day morning on writ of habeas corpus.
| An immense throng was around aud IN
the courthouse. A police officer from
Chicago arrived and made oath that
Schoeppe, alias Schulenberg, was charged
with forgery in Chicago of various checks
also, in attempting forgery. He identified
the prisoner. After arguments of counsel
pro can con, Judge Brown remanded
Schoeppe to Jail to await reasonable
time for the requstioD of the Governor
of Illinois, which is now coming.

How the Apaches Pop the Question.

Even those copper celored cut throats,
the Apache Indians, have a touch OF de.
ieacy and romance in them Colonel
John c. Cremony gives the following ao-
count of their courtinS custom Every
young girl is at liberty to refuse a sptor
for her hand The father, mother and
brother are prohibited from interfering
in her choice. Her person is at her own
disposal. After a brief conrtship ths
lover makes formal proposal by Offering
so many horses. Horses are a standard
of value among Indians. As the squsy
does all the work, horses are accepted as
an equivalent for her labor. Whsn
young warrior becomes enamored, he ias-
tens bis horse near the wigwam of the
squaw whose hand lie seeks, where he la
left four days If she fails TO feed and
water the horse during that time, the
waster is rejected but if she accepts his
offer she grooms and kindly cares for ths
horse, and then ties him to the wiswan
of her lover, as much as to say am
willing to be your slave and Do your work"

At a recent meeting OF Wisconsin
farmers club, the relative profits Of cows
and sheep came up for discussion-on
man kept % cows on ferm of ll5 acres,
and received from $40 to $50 each from
them each year, furnishing milk for
cheese factory. He generally ploughed
from % to 80 acres, moved about 25
acres, and pastured 50 to 60 acres each
year. Another received last season $50
Sd per COW for milk taken to the factory,
and made 20 pounds Of butter each extra
He kept 20 cows on % acres Of pasture,
feeding grain and corn fodder during the
summer Another said he could keep
20 COW as easily as 100 sheep but mas,
much as the dogs killed about half the
sheep every year, and the same grass fed
to cows would yield as much again profit
as if fed to sheep, the question appeared
one sided.

CHARTER PERPETUAL.

The Bylaws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re-
Gently been very materially changed, pla-
cling il upon a basis equal to that of any
Fire Insurance Company in the State.
Important among these changes are the
following, viz:
Policies, instead of being perpetual, are
Issued for five years.
All property is classified and the rate Of
premium is fixed according to the risk of
the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all as
sessments are made on the notes.
Property is insured for not more than
two thirds of it's actual cash value, and the
full amount of insurance paid in case OF loss,
provided the loss be equal TO the amount OF
insurance.
"Annual assessments" only are made, ex-
cept in cases Of heavy loss, and where
special assessment is necessary.
The Company is therefore prepared to in
sure property upon terms much more desIra-
Bile than under the old system.
Applications may be made to any of the
Managers, Surveyors, or Secretary.

And one dollar for Foley.
No other charges will be made at any
time, excepting one dollar and ten cents for
each member who dies.
The advantages of this COMPANY over
the ordinary Life Insurance Companies are,
that the fees are so small that the man of
moderate means can secure competency
to his family at trifling cost, and payable
at such long intervals, and such sma II sums,
that no person can be inconvenienced by
them. This company cannot fail; no
panlcs can affect it. Persons holding Ger
uticates Of membership in this Company,
are sure IN case of death that their families
or heirs will get as many dollars as there
are members in the Company.
No restrictions are placed upon travelling
or residence.

Life Supporting Death.

From the Hartford Courant
The last census gives some interesting
figures and shows somewhat, at least, the
extent to which death supports life upon
its peculiar globe. In 1870 there were
in the United States 1896 professional
undertakers, Of whom 20 were women.
The deaths in that time were 260,613. so
that to the average undertaken there fell
l3l eases Beside the undertakers there
were 2 ,365 coffin makers, who, of course,
depend upon the undertakers for sales.
These classes together make 1851 per-
sons who lived by the deaths Of 260,673
persons. Doctors and dressmakers aside,
therefore, under our present methods,
about 60 deaths avail to keep ore person
alive for year, or one dead body is a
guaranty of six days sustsuance to one
persOn, or one days support for six per-
sons. Or, to take another view of the
case, if each Of these bodies were allowed
full sized grave, the whole would oc-
eupy about 202 acres, and each of those
acres would support about % persons for
a year, which is better yield than that
