sfSPlRITUAL' AUTHORS.

The London "Globe" is not at all
satisfied with the genius who kindly
agrce cd to finish "Edwin Drood." It
says: eft has long been known that
an American compositor was engaged
in completing sThe Mystery Of Edwin
Drood,' under the direct dlctation Of
the spirit of Charles Dickens. After
the labor of many months, during
which the amanu" isis wrote In q state
of trance for an hour or two day, the
work has been at last finished, pub
lished at place called Brattieboro,
and noticed at some length in the New
York Times. The reviewer Is chiefly
struck by the contrast between the
power OF the corporeal Charles Dickens
and the miserable incapacity of the
spiritual Charles Dickens. He thinks
it quite clear that mems minds are by
no reans improved by being freed
from the body, and that thus the bad
spelling and general ignorance of the
citizens of spirit land arc fully account
ed for. In one OF the choice extracts
quoted from the volume while in man.
uscript Llention was made of q trades
man who used to open his "store" in
Chancery lane at five O'Clock in the
morning, SO we must conclude that
departed Engl'shmen use the Ameri-
can language, nd that the man who
of all Others knew London best has
carried with him a very confused re-
collection of its ways and hours.
There Is probably no country but the
United States in which such q flight Of
impudence would have found pub
Usher: but 1t Is fair to the publisher to
add that the pretensions of the medium
have been supported and encouraged
by hundrenls Of educated people, who
are, no doubt, pleased, to find In death
| a leveller bringing down genius to an
equality with their own WISDOM"

a novel claim has been presented to
Congress. DIR. Zacharie, a chiropodist,
aIledged that he removed forty-six
thousand dollars worth of corns from
the aching feet of our patriotic soldiers
during the late war. The testimony of
a number of Federal officers is adduced
in support of the claim. Every Con-
eressman who suffers from corns is ex-
pected to vote for it. Stranger and
more absurd claims than this have
been allowed by Congress.

EARL RUSSELL AND THE POPE.

iag letter:
PEMBROKE LODGE, RICHMOND,
PARK, January 10, 1S74.-Dear Sir
John Murray: have already inform
ed you of the cause which will prevent
me from presiding Mt the meeting OF
the 9th of January. Let us now con-
slider what is the object of the meeting.
Archbishop Manning states his doc
trines very clearly and very boldly,
thus: t'The Church is seperate and
supreme. Let us, then, ascertain some
what further what is the meaning of
supreme. Any power which is inde-
pendent and can alone fix the limit of
its own jurisdiction, and can thereby
fix the limits of all other Jurisdictions,
is, ipso tacto, supreme. But the Church
of Jesus Christ, within the sphere of
revelation of faith and morals, is all
this, or is nothing, or worse than moth
ing, an imposture and usurpatiol-
that is, it is Christ or Antichrist."
Archbishop Manning goes on to say,
eff it be Antichrist, every Caesar, from
Nero to this day, is justified" So we
may say, on the other side, if the
Church of Rome be Christ, every Pope,
from Rodigo Borgia to this day, is tusti-
fed, and must be accounted Christ.
y ~
career in Parliament We're devoted to
the promotion Of religious liberty.
From 1918 to 1929 constantly voted
for the admission of Roman Catholics
to Parliament and to Office. In 1928 I
took the foremost part in relieving Pro-
testant dissenters from the disabilities
of the Corporation and Test acts. For
many years afterwards I labored for
the liberation of the Jews. But neither
for Roman Catholics, for Protestant
dissenters, nor for Jews, did ! osk for
more than equal privileges and equal
laws. Archbishop Manning says of tho
Church, Gift be Christ, it is the supreme
power among men that is to say: l,
1t holds its commission and authority
from God; 2, it holds in custody the
faith and law of Jesus Christ; 8, it is
the sole Interpretation ofthat faith, and
the so e eXpositor of that law, it has
within the sphere of that commission a
power to 1egislate with authority-to
oind tho consciences of all men born
again in baptism Of Jesus Christ" This
is not liberty, civil or religious. It is
to bow the knee to a despotic and falli-
ble priesthood. The very same princi-
freedom for the Roman Catholic, the
l. AoSSoSNA4o A/AoSShSSA3 eSi>A SAS oO" OAASA
me to protest against a conspiracy
which aims at combining the German
Empire in chains never, it is hoped,
to be shaken off. 1 hasten to declare
with all friends of freedom, ,and, I trust,
with the great majority of the English
nation, that I could no longer call myself
a lover of civil and religious liberty
were not to proclaim my sympathy
with the Emperor of Germany in the
noble struggle in which he is engaged.
We have nothing to do with the details
of the German laws; they may be Just,
they may be harsh; we can only leave
it to the German people to decide for
themselves, as we have decided for our
selves. AT all events, we are able to
see that the cause of the German EN-
peror is the cause of liberty, and the
cause of the Pope is the cause of slavery.
remain, dear Sir John Murray, yours
very truly. RUSSELL.

TIE REPORT ER'S WORK.

tFrom a Sermon by Rev. A. =. Stone.l
The newspaper is more feared to-day
in congressional halls, and the high
places of corruption and villiany, than
laws and courts, the sungs of con-
science, and the thunder of divine
wrath. God is a great way of, and the
judgment waits, but the ubiquitous re-
porter thrusts his sharp gaze into all
covert and hidden schemcs-an unerr-
ing detective. The pestilcnt spy will
tell all he sces-tclI it on the housetops
print it for nation of readers.
Good! Give us more of this. Long
live the reporter. Let every public
man who meditates little piece of
gainful fraud understand that he is
"shadowed" at each step by this un-
bought espionage, and though he may
not be converted, he will be restrained.

Receipts ofproducc during the month
Of January have been heavier than for
number of years past. The open

bring out the cotton and sugar much
faster than otherwise would have been
the case.

Egypt, succeeded to the heritage of his
grandfather, Mohammed Ali. Since then,
the Suez Canal has been completed, and
for more than four years has been opened

of Ismailia and Port Said have grown up
with the rapidity Of Kansas or Nebraska
towns; the Delta is covered with railways,

motive; the regions of Soudan have be-
come safe, orderly and easily accessible
and Cairo and Alexandria have their stat
ues and thea:ers, their paved, sp-inkled
and gas.llghted streets. More significant
than this, the area Of cultivated land has
increased from 20 to 80 per cent through
out the country, the extension Of the
canals and the growth of trees have pro-
duced marked influence on the rainfall,
and thus climate as well as industry are
coming to resemble the European rather
than the former African conditions. ln
Cairo, for instance, where the. average
was until recently, four or five rainy days
in year, it has now Increased to Fl IN
the Delta, where it was 8, it is now 40
This change correspondingly di'ninishes
the temperature of the Winter months;
and fires for warmth. although still un-
known, are already necessity. This
year the Spring is not more forward than

A MOTHERS DREAM.
In the midst of my slumbers,
saw great numbers
0fmothers of the lost
Their grief was great,
Because too late;-
Their souls with agony tossed.
0! sad was their wailing,
In tones so despairing,-
sour girls, our girls are lost,
In folly we led them,
With iattery fed them
Alas! Alas! at what cost"
In anguish calling
My boys, my boys
o! where are our dear little boys,
Come back, we say,
With all your play
Come back with all of your noise"
"You drove us away,
They jeeringly say
And now we don't wish to come back,
When we wanted to stay
Twas run out of the way;-
Now please get off from our track
"Your hearts are all breaking,
In sorrow arc achingl
May be, twill do them good;-
Too late too late
For ours to ache;-
You should kept us when you could"
Again am dreaming,
Before man knceling,
Mothers, the faithful, and true,
They are praying
For all straying,
But 0. their numbers are few.
They earnestly pray,
The good Father will stay,
The tide of vice and DIM
The hour is late,
But still they wait,
Their favor they must join.
The dawn is fastening,
But still, they are wrestling;
Their faith will not take no.
Like Jacob of old
They're growing bold,
'Tis "we will not let thee CO."
For the dear Savior's sake,
Their plea they now make;
The father cannot say nay;
If we do believe
We shall receive,
SIS his own dear word," they say.
Their answer comes" " Go CALI
If your nation would not fall,
Bid the mothers take their stand,
In earnest to-day,
And do what they may
With the children in your land"
The mothers, from fashions's way
Shall lead your dear ones astray;-
Linger not, in all her train.--
Break off her chains,
With their weary pains,

Bremen; City OF Montreal, for Liverpool; Cali

and Liverpool, and ashngton, Tor Havre. They
had not only large list Of FIRST cabin passengers,
but the steerage Of every ship was full. This may
be accounted for by the very low fares now charged
by the several companies.
