what IL Really Means.

The movement of Mr.. BEEcnrR, in
calling an advisory council 10 meet so
early rs the 11th Of January. Is OF course
intended to anticipate the mutual or cr
pdrc councils asked for by Mrs. MoULroS
and Deacon WEST 1t Is another deter
mined effort TO ward of fair invcstiga-
tion. The time between the call and the
meeting is made so short that Mr.. BEECH

any other can be convened.

testimony, altogether irrelevant to the
question OF Mr.. BEEcnER's guilt, and the

mously increase the bulk of the testimony

Women for the Country.

A remarkable statement about the def
Gent supply of female labor in these times
is made by {. l.. HoDGEs, of the Free
Training school for Women. lie says that
this institution has now on file over three
hundred applications for women TO work
In the country, without being able to fll
the rcqWsiton, rs the work is often not of
The kind desired.
We cannot suppose that this fact is
known TO the numerous women in this
city who are out of employment, or sufl'r-
Ing from dostitution. Many of these WOO
men are iong and healthy, and claim to
be willing 10 do anything that will furnish
them living. Cases of hardship among
working women OF various kinds, who
have been thrown out of employment Ivy
the dun times are frequent, aud II is dis
trcssing 10 hear OF the number OF such wo-
men who apply for relief to charitable In
situations. We are persuaded that there
would Ice fewer Of such applicants if they
knew that they could any where hnd hon
est work. r,ihap. the work offered them
might not be of the kind TO which they
have been accustomed; but all of them
who have n spark OF spirit would rather
earn Il livelihood I'm any decent way than
eat the bread of charity. II is work IN the
country that is available for them. Well,
surely, It is better 10 enjoy abundance in
the country than suffer starvation in tue
city.
We presume that, when the deficient
supply Of female labor, announced by the
Free Training school, is made known
throughout the city, there viii be q SUM-
cheney Of applicants. We suppose that the
institution deals with unemployed and
willing womon in practical and sensible
way-uot making any demands that they
cannot meet. not requiring them to sub
mt 10 conditions which are unreasonable.
there should he such n large demand for
female labor when there are so many wo-
men ont Of work.
Mr.. IlopGEs says that the institution in
question finds cmployu cnt for three thou
said women year; but il seems that the
demand Is always beyond the supply. and
he adds that It's managers can promise to
give employment to thousands OF women
this winter.
1t is mistake to distribute charity
among any class Of people able TO work,
and who are offered work. There are but
few poor people, male or female, who do
not prefer wages TO aims, and those few

TyndaIl and the TheoIogians.

Prof. TYNDALL shows no signs Of weak
ness in hs controversy with the theo-
logans. His latest article, published in the
FornjghNy Rcrier for November, is bold,
defiant, aud strong. He reasscr,s the famous
declaration of his Belfast address, that he
"sees in matter the promise aud potency
Ofnll terrestrial life, and supports 1t 10y
course Of reasoning which brings the whole
dispute down to a very narrow issue. He

the human being from the tiny ovum,

II possible that Brother RAYMOND Is Jealous
OF the love the pastor has for the mighty pious

more than any other man, only that he loved
him IA much az any other man. Perhaps he

that sum to be added TO the municipal
