SALVATION OF CH1LDREN.-I hate to hear
people say, "They have received pack of
children into the church" "a pack of chill
dren" Yes, and if Jesus carries them in his
bosom, surely you are not initiating Christ,
nor exhibiting much of his spirit, when
you look down upon them or despise them.
To me one soul is as good as another. l re-
ioice as much in the addition Of the poorest
mechanic to this church as if he were peer
of the realm; am grateful to God when |
hear of repentance in the young as in the
aged for souls, after all, are not affected in
value by rank or age Immortal spirits are
all priceless, and not to be weighed in the
scale with worlds. pray you, therefore, re-
oice if the Spirit of God dwells in the lowly
or in the great, in the young or in the DID,
He is the selfsame spirit; he makes each
renewed person equally his temple, and each
saved one is equally jewel Of Christ, dear
to the heart of the Eternal Father, beloved
by him who redeemed all his people alike
with his most precious blood.-Spurgeon.

boys, crowded out of school, are still deter,

Room AT THE ToP.-Young men look
about them and see great measure Of world
ly success awarded to men without principle
All this is a demoralizing puzzle and fear
full temptation; and multitudes of young men
are not strong enough to stand before it
They ought to understand that in this wicked
world there is a great deal of room where
there is integrity. Great trusts may be
sought by scoundrels, but great trusts never
seek them; and perfect integrity is at pre-
MUM, even among scoundrels. There are
some trusts that they will never confer on
each other. There are occasions when they
need the services of true men, and they do not
find them in shoals and in the mud, but alone
and in pure water.
In the realm of eminent requirements and
eminent integrity there is always room enough
Let no young man Of industry and perfect
honesty despair because his profession or call
ing is crowded. Let him always remember
that there is room enough at the top, and the
question whether he is ever to reach the top,
will be decided by the way in which he i'm
proves the first ten years of his active life in
securing to himself thorough knowledge OF
his profession, and sound moral and intel.

Mr., Speaker Blaine,

IFrom the Camden sunday Argus.
1t may be considered certain than Hon. Jas.
G. Blaine has strong attachments to the at
mosphere Of Washington. But when he ap-
pears there again it is to be, he expects, not as
any of your mean Congressman, but as Presi-
dent of the United States. To break this
news quietly to the people at large, Mr..
Henry Il. Bingham, an ex-pOstmaster of Phila-
delphia, and at present clerk of the Court of
Quarter Sessions of that city, asked Mr..
Blaine to partake of the hospitality of his
(Bingham's) house, which, of course, was at
once accepted. Whereupon Mr.. Bingham in
yites' the heads Of all the city departments to
a dinner, at which they are to sit in company
with Mr.. Blaine. The papers got hold of moth
ing to warrant them in saying that Mr.. Blaine,
the late Speaker, was nominated at that raw
ishing caucus; but in fOrty-eight hours there
after the wire-workers Of the Seventh ward of
Philadelphia announced that they had ban
nered James G. Blaine as their candidate for
the Presidency in 1876, and as such the fact
was telegraphed over the continent. The only
difficulty appears to be that the "trail of the
serpent" is over every movement of these bad
men in the Quaker City. Mr.. Blaine could
not have secured locality that would have
done greater injury to his reputation and to
his opportunity. 1t would indeed be a ma
tional calamity to have this Republic governed
by the class of creatures who have literally
murdered Philadelphia. That city is nearly
bankrupt. What evidence is there that the
country would have any more money in its
Treasury after these men had gorged them
selves; as they have locally, to the utter ruin
of the second American city? The Hermit of
the Crusaders, in giving advice to the two
knights who were to see Rinaldo, advised
them particularly not to drink of the crystal
waters, for they were deadly poison; not to
Gull flowers, for they were Upas leaves-traps
TO gull the unwary. But Blaine has done
both, and in doing so has lost his Rinaldo

WE LEARN-by mail, of course, because
the Associated Press agents in the South
are opposed to giving US that kind of in
formation which will expose the sins Of the
Democracy-that the Ku-Klux are again
giving the people of Kentucky no small
amount of trouble. In Tod county, where
the outbreaks have occurred, an attempt
was made to assassinate prominent wit
ness, whose testimony, it was expected,
would aid to secure the conviction of the
accused. But the strangest feature Of the
case is that the militia of the city of Louis
vile has been sent to Tod county, the au-
thorities being afraid to trust citizens of
other sections of the State with the duty of
preserving the peace and protecting the
courts and witnesses while the trial is in
progress. While this condition of affairs
may reflect especial credit on the Louis
vile militia, it suggests the probability
that outside of the immediate influence of
the intelligence and education of that city,
there exists deplorable condition of things.
When people become so degraded and be-
sotted by partisan prejudice that men of
their own party will not trust them to
manage their own local affairs, it is time to
admit, in Kentucky, at least self government
is a doubtful experiment Free schools,
and readin' and 'Titin' are required in that
dark and bloody ground.

The Caban Situation.


The news from Cuba shows that the return
of Valmaseda to the island has had the effect
of rendering the insurgents more active than
ever. 1t is evident that they are not to be
frightened into submission by the presence of
the man whose worst malignity was exhibited
in his treatment of the defenceless relatives of
the armed insurgents. 1t must astonish the
returned Captain General to find that the in
surrection which he proclaimed to the world
as extinguished has gradually won its way
back from the sterile mountains of the East
ern Department to the rich plains of the East.
1t must sometimes cause the worthy gentle
man who represents the power and majesty of
King Alfonso some qualms of conscience to
think that he 1t was who taught the rebels the
tactics they now use with such effect against
Spanish power. If the success which has
hitherto attended the insurgents in their cam
paien against the plantations should continue
the Cinco Villas will soon be reduced to the
condition Of Camasuey, and there is no Sc
curity that the operations of the Cuban raiders
may not be pushed close to Havana. The
losses already inflicted on the sugar-producing
industry of the country il immense. By ad-
vices from Sagua we learn that fourteen of
the largest estates in that jurisdiction had
been destroyed, and the flames of the burning
estates were plainly visible from the town.
The slaves, too, are flying from their masters,
and everything looks as If Cuba were TO be
turned into q new St. Domingo. One thing
is pretty certain, SPANS chance of sub1uing
the island is at an end Had the Spanish
generals leen able to shut the insurgents into
the wasted Central and Eastern Departments
the insurrection might eventually have been
starved out. But under the new conditions of
the struggle their chance Of crushing the

ONE Of the most ordinary proceedings
everywhere amid Anglo-Saxon people is
the summoning of witness to testify and
the truth to speak in cases before the judi
cial tribunals Of the country. To be called
as a witness or summoned as a juror is an
event that to the average American is
thought of as little as getting shaved or
pulling on over-shoes. But the hate of ILL
doors for all the machinery Of courts of
Justice is like that which it is said the devil
has for holy water. The sight of the
sheriff sets them shivering, and they scent
an Indictment in the simplest missive that
comes to them from the courts. 1t so hap
pens that the presence of Charles A. Dana
is needed before the grand jury here in the
case of Snyder, who is charged with steal
ing q letter of General Schencks from
Norman Wizard, and the usual summons
for that purpose is sent to him at New York.
For the first time in the annals of the
courts Of this District, an attorney is EN-
ployed to take care of his interests in this
connection. The very words grand jury"
and Washington" awake the terrors for
him. He remembers Whitelaw Reid, and
sends for a lawyer. 'The wicked flee
when no man pursueth, and Dana's Office
is a nest of wicked fieas and other back
biters.
