There was very loud disturbance in
the Methodist church on the Hockanum
border, East Hartford, Conn, on Sunday
evening. Prayer anU praise services
were being held, when a young man
named David L. Curtis left his seat and
started to leave the church. Just as he
got near the door he was stepped by Mr..
Ralph Risley, who insisted that be should
not retire. The young man said that it
was necessary that he should leave, and
started to do so, when Mr.. Risley took
him by the collar to prevent him. Mr..
Curtis thereupon, to break the hold upon
him, struck Mr. Risley in the face, and
then the excitement began in good earn
est. The boys in the audience shouted
all sorts OF impious things, and the pas.
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Morse, left the pulpit
and Joined the crowd about the door in
vain endeavor to still the disturbance.
Finally the young man Curtis was COM
PEELED to take seat and remain there
till Mr., Thomas DOwd, justice OF the
peace, had been sent for, the pastor an
nouncing that trial would be held then
and there to punish the offender. Upon
the arrival Of Mr.. Dowd an effort was
made to clear the house of all the young
people, in order that the trial might pro-
ceed, but there was a general refusal to
stir, and finally the young man was held
under bail, to be proceeded against on a
secular day.

Sunday-Scho0l Times.
A late editorial in leading daily pa
per, headed Certain Holiday Books,
attributes the mutiny on the school.shiJ
to the inaamed ambition of some of thl
lads who had been reading the adven
lures of a certain cheap hero Of the Bow
cry variety. The same article goes OF
to show that the modern parents guilty
neglect, if not positive misdirection Of
the boys taste for reading" i" is the fruit

of late has startled thinking people into
closer observation-and finally it adds
these very suggestive words:

thirds of the juvenile criminals in the
next year, if he could Danish certain
plays from the boards of the variety the
aters, and put certain books out of print.
We only suggest these facts to mothers
and fathers. 1t is their part to clear the
jails in future. No Mayor can help
them.
Now, it will not do to take fascinating
and bad literature out OF these boys
hands, and give them in its place Mrs.
Barbauld and Peter Farley, or worse
still, the sentimental dribblings of those
writers who think that any "good.y''
talk will do for children. We must give
them good, strong interesting reading,
with the blood and sinew of real life in
it-heRrtsome, pleasant reading, that
will waken them to closer observation
OF the best things about them.
The great mental evil Of the day is
the impression invariably given to young
minds that seeing the world necessarily
means seeing the badness of the world.
Oace let boy understand that to see
the world in fair, manly way, one must
see all its good side, its noblehess and
true progress, and you at.once put his
soul in the way Of a wholesome growth.
1t is right and natural for boy to
want to see the world. 1t is right and
natural for him to want to read books
that, according to his light, show him
what the world is.
The wrong and the unnaturalness are
IN the careless way In which parents and
guardians ignore this want, ore fail to
meet.it in proper manner.
Vile writer's and worse publishers are
fattening on this tendency Of boys and
the carelessnesS of parents.
Good writer's and honest publishers
are offering the means Of remedying the
great evil, and are showing the boys of
this country how they may see the
world and yet remain pure and true.
Parents must decide which class of
writer's and publishers shall win the
race.

ON to say that whatever i'm.
paired the sinking fund by one dollar
impaired the faith Of the nation at home
and abroad, and that the sinking fund
lacked two thirds of the amount, which
should been paid into it, had told on the
credit OF the nation and the value of its
bonds in the markets of the world to an
aggregate amount more than was sought
to be raised under this bill. lie did not
see where the expenditures could be cut
down substantially, and therefore the
question before the House was, how could
the government raise thirty millions In
creased revenue with the least deleterious
effect. Ii Congress had not two or three
years ago abolished the duty on tea and
coffee, there would be now no necessity
for the measure.
Mr.. Cox-Why didn't your committee
report measure to restore that taxi
Mr.. Dawes. That would require another
consideration. What would the govern.
ment get by restoring that tax Since
the LIST oil December, when it was sug.
gested in the Presidents message that
that duty should be restored, the entire
tea trade of the country had turned it's
attention to the importation OF tea, and it
is the uniform testimony of all having
knowledge of the tea that is in tho coun-
try to-day more than years stock of
tea is in hand; therefore, to impose
duty OF 10 cents pound on tea would be
to put money into the pockets of import
ers without corresponding advantage to
government. Mr.. Dawes went on to give
statistics in regard to the manufacture of
whisky, and the stock on hand in dis
tilleries and bonded warehouses, and
to defend and advocate the recommends.
ton of the committee Of ways and means
in regard to taxation of whisky. He es-
timated the increased revenue which the
government derived from the bill as fol-
lows: Whisky, Sl5,S40,000; tobacco, a.
o0O,OOO; sugar, $S,2l3,000; the restora.
ton of the 10 per cent. on manufactured
goods, $4,000 900; in all about $37,750,.
600. From this was to be deducted about
two-and-a.half millions, loss by the re.
peal OF the tax on matches, leaving a net
increase of 1886, 10000. which would lust
about meet the estimated requirements
of the government.
In conclusion he said: 1t remains, there.
fore, for the House to say, first, whether
it will meet the deficit; i'm the second.
whether it will meet it by seeking out new
sources Of revenue, as the committee on
ways and means has recommended, or
whether it will turn its attention to some
other method of meeting it.
THE HONOR OF THE GOVERNMENT
is involved in this question. The ability
TO meet its current expenses, as well as to
keep its faith, is involved in the question.
