Didn't Know His Business,

well-known Clergyman was crossing
Lake Erie, many years ago, upon one OF
the lake steamers, aud, seeing a small lad
at the wheel, steering the boat, accosted
HIM as follows:
MY son, you appear to be small boy
to steer 20 large a boat"
Eyes, sir; but you see that can do it,
though"
"Do you think you understand your bust
ness, my son2'
Yes, Sir, think do"
Can you box the compass?'
"Yes, sir"
.'Let me hear you box it."
Bow boxes the compass.
"Well, really, you can do il, Let me hear
you box it backward"
Boy boxes it backward.
Il declare, my son, you do seem to un-
derstand your business"
The boy now took his turn question ask
ing.

Clergyman says he can not do it.
"You can't do it, ehf Now, you see,
understand my business great deal better
than you do yours"
Clergyman acknowledged himself beaten
and retired.

Bret Harte was lecturing in Pennsylyapi,
snort time ago. At one of his appoint.
ments he felt very much depressed. It is a
popularity of humorists, we are told, to be
unacconntably melancholy and gloomy at
times. Harte was In this mood now, One
of the committee went in back of the scenes
to see him, and the depressed humorist wei
coined him as CLEAN OF unusual good sun
shine. They shook hands--Harte earnestly
and the committee man decorOusly.
"Mr. Harte," he said gravely, 'you will
find this an unusually city"
"Ah!' said the pleased humorist.
Yes. The death rate is only one day."
At this juncture Harte took the commit
tee man by the hand, and hurriedly asked:
"Is he dead"
Dead" calculated the committee man.
"Whe deadp
why, the man for today" was the
grave reply.
The committee man stared with all his
might into the immovsble face of the leo
turer.
"Isn't there a clerk here, or registrar, or
coroner, or something like that, Of whom
you could find out whether man for this
day had dieda"
why, yes, suppose 3d." slowly replied
the committee man.
Would you be so good, then, to find out,
and before commence the lecture, if Dos
sible, whether the man is deadi II he is
dead, then l am all right, for leave the
city early tomorrow morning; but if he
isn't dead can not help but feel uneasy
about myself, and am not we'll tonight
The kind hearted committeeman imme-
diately hurried away to get the iaforma-
ton. 5000.
When in his room at the hotel that night

Woman Suffrage md the Rum Power.

In lecture on the rum power, delivered
on Sunday evening, by Rev. David O..
Mears, of Cambridge, Massachusetts,, he
considered the relations of men and women
as citizens, toward this dangerous evil, and
aid:
1t is not our purpose to discuss the merits
OF prohibition and license. Prohibition has
not been success because Of the loose,
public opinion relative to it's execution.
The licensing of evil can never BIZ approved
at the bar of truth aud Justice. The ma
jority of voters in our own commonwealth
are on the side of the rum power. For
proof, witness the results of the election
year ago; but q reaction is evidently taking
remains to be seen. The legislative
power is vested in the male citizenship;
$4,000 men write our laws in this
commonwealth of more than ,i00, 900
people. Let US analyze this power. The
records show that there are four male Grim
inals to every male criminal, and the same
ratio holds as 10 arrests for drunkenness.
1t must be conceded that men are far more
instrumental in keeping up the traffic than
are women. Men are TOR the most part
the producers in this traffic, and they are
the chief consumers. This very class, 80
strongly interested in this traffic, make the
laws regulating it. The chief offenders are
ihOA3 dlu uuiy lutu our ltklblAtOTH, anu
men are not likely to punish themselves. The
odds are against US when we appeal to our
Legislatures. The strong and honest convic-
ton is forced upon me that Legislation can
never avail against the run power and it's
twin sister, the social evil, until woman in
her purity, and for selfprotection shall cast
her ballot upon these greag qdestlobs. 1t is
said this would be only the doubling of
votes, but the balance of the numbers of
the sex would be felt against the evil. it
ia objected that this course would bring di
vision into families-but the division 10 al
ready there; . drunken husband and father
divided against wife and children. His bal
lot says free rum; her ballot says no license.
We can not claim that woman suffrage is
the panacea for every i'll in the body polite;
yet applying the objections urged against it
to their part touching this great domestic
evil We may receive some light, 1t is said
that men will vote as their families would
have them. 1t is never true in the case of
the drunkard and his family.
Our only hope of salvation from this aw-
full scourge is in wOman's efforts. Ii woman
will only speak out, although our laws com
pei almost silence, she will accomplish
much. The movements of the mothers and
daughters and sisters agAinst the curse in
different sections of our land arc efforts in
the right direction. And whittier do they
movef Their common institutions give the
snswer-they strike ut the bar-r0oms and
saloons. The rum power thinks 1t indeli-

-sme objects are fines taken in the several
'"n'ta, amounting in the aggregate to about
sio.N0 and say $500 received from the
'usds-say IN oil $40, 800.
WAT commentary is this upon the
~ -i.tul extravaganza with which the peo-
pes money is expended! Three individuals
lar clerks hire alone in the three courts
ahs.'rh from the city Golfers fraction short
of $4,000, without any return whatever OF
benefit.
1t is unnecessary to go into the other
branches of this vicious system. The figures
are given, and they are all in keeping with
the above clerkly extravaganza.
In this matter of Justice" alone, under
proper administration, here might be q say
ing of not less than S20O00O.
The drains upon our city finances dis
cussed in this article can be stopped only
by fitting legislation.
1t is clear that the expenditures for the
present administration of the affairs OF the
city are TOO great. The old system was
even better than the present, in many re.
spects. We have tro many officials, too
little responsibility. Never was city more
il need of wise legislation than New Or.
leans. Nothing hut radical change in her
form OF government can restore HEALTHY
action.
IL is certain, too, that there is necessity
for reduction of the fees of certain officials
These extortionate tees can be ended only
hy payment OF fixed salaries; the revenue
beyond salaries to be accounted for to the
city. Our whole aystem under the head of
Justice is u crying evil, for which there
should be prompt remedy.
In the three matters already discussed
police, administration and justice-we find
that there is nearly 81 100000 employed in
useless expenditure. The unfortunate re-
lations of the State 70 the city account to
certain extent for this. The city must
assist hersAlf and her citizens must awake
to the necessity of striking Oft the incubus

Church Troubles at Montreal.
A dispatch from Montreal, December |

A dispatch from Montreal, December IL,
to the New York Herald, says:
Considerable ill-feeling exists here in con-
sequence of the bells OF the French churches
not being tolled during the funeral process
sion OF Fathers Murphy and Lynch. On
inquiry being made at the office of the
fabrique as to the reason for the omission,
the officer In charge said it was customary
for the members of congregation to sub
scribe certain sum required for tOlling the
bells for funeral, which was not done in
this case. Even priests' funerals are no ex-
ception to this rule. He further said that
no insult was intended to the Irish popula-
ton BY the omission.
The president of the st. Patrick's Society
has called special meeting of the members
for Monday evening. The call reads as fol.
lows:
"The opinion widely prevails that slight
was offered to the memory OF the deceased
priests, involving an insult to the Irish
Catholics of the Dominion, in the apparent
~ willful omission to toll the1 funeral bells
of the Catholic churches of this city, an
omission considered more CALLING owing to
its never having happened bsfofe on such
solemn occasion. Our national self ssser.
tiOo and eAe pssssrvstion Of she respect we
eve our church demand an expression Of
eur sentiment and an explaustiou Of this
strange and painful circumstsnce."

On last Saturday morning the cotton gin
belonging to Messrs. X. Segura g. G. Del
stroyed, together with about fifty bales of
cotton, the most of which was the crop of
the last named gentleman. This untoward
accident is more to be regretted from the
fact that Mr.. Deiahoussaye being one of our
most Intelligent and industrious colored
men, had by his labor and energy acquired
q modest competency, and now he has to
begin anew under circumstances less ad-
vantaseous than formerly. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Not insured.
