National Reform Convention.

ST. LOUIS, January 2S.-The National
Reform Convention met again To day
and President Wells on taking the chair
offered his resignation on the grounds
that he had been lead to believe from
what he heard last night that he was not
in full sympathy with the views and OBJ
ircts of the convention, and had been
severely censured for the basis upon
which he had placed the movement in
his opening address. He then proceed
cd to define his position. He said he did
not regard this as political movement.
1t was moral in its character and object,
and had no political significance. He
did not believe there is such II crisis that
such a movement is all that stands be-
tween civilization and barbarism. The
government of Greece, Rome and Egypt
we're all wanting in this same respect
vet the absence of Christianity did not eff
feet their prosperity He did not believe
the object of the movement was to place
our Chaistian institutions on an
"undeniable legal basis This pet
phrase had great iallacy in it. The
basis of these institutions is in God, and
hence lneN require no leSal DaSs. Hc
phrase causes one to lose sight of Divine
authority by giving prominence to hu-
man enactments 1t is simply desired to
secure To these institutions the protection
of the law, not basis. Instead of pla-
cling our religious institutions on legal
basis We should aim to place our civil in
! StitutiOns on moral basis The nation
! should recognize the Divine Being u Il
moral duty, and not IL a political meas
ure. If the religious amendment is to be
secured rs mere matter of cXpediency,
the work might as well be left undon".
The movement should be one Of the
Christians of the country, and there
should be no effort to enlist the support
of half and half Christians merely to
attain the end
1t was stated that there was no neces-
sity for the Presidents reSigning, and he
finally concluded to retain the char.
The resolutions introduced last night
were then up and discussed one by one.
Various verbal amendments were offered,
some of which were adopted, some re-
iected, and the whole series finally passed
substantially aS pre- sentcd.

Breaking ofthc Ice Gorge AT Cincin

CGScINNATI, January 2s.-About one
o'clock this afternoon, the ice gorge in
the river below this city gave way, and
all the afternoon and evening considcra-
bic heavy ice has been passing here. The
steamers Mt the wharf escaped without
damage but the coal barges lying on the
other side below the city suffered consid-
cradle damage. About forty loaded and
empty barges were torcd loose some
sunk, and many carried down the river,
and may be secured at points below here.
Among the heaviest losers are the f"me'

Jos. Walton, of Pittsburgh, fifteen empty

however, may be decreased by the re-

WHAT DO WITH THE INDIANS.

The Alta California suggests that the
remainder of our wars Tor the eXtermi-
nation of the Indians be waged by Indian
soldiers trained as part of the United
States army.
We improve upon this, by proposing to
prepare for a total substitution of red
for white soldiers for all the ordinary
purposes OF standing army. OF course,
where the nation gets into great peril
we shall all have either to fight or work
for the support of those who do fight,
lust as we did during the rebellion-in
horn, for in fact the workers toiled more
for few grabbers OF profit and plunder
than for the million Of soldiers constant

diers, for. they fear everything except
death, while we fear nothing but danger

Mrs. Fidget on ShipbOard.

Amusing people are frequently met
with on ipboard-people who are con-
tinually getting involved in difficulties
from awkw ardness, nervousness, and
,ottentimes ignorance. There was Mrs.
Fidget, who crossed in the Inman line last
season. She never could get her ''sea
legs on" (nauticaI phrase, pleasel and
always walked the deck on all tours,
went down the cabin stairs head first,
and would precipitate herself upon the
table at meal time in a style invariably
rumpling the cloth and scattering the
dishes promiscuously. Her fellow-pas-
sengers used to grumble and pray that
she might get sick enough to remain in
her berth, but she was Ubiquitous, and
tumbled around the ship mass of torn
and tattered polonaise humanity. One
night during terrible s,orm the ship
labored heavily, and the stewards in the
pantry were startled to hear the eXcla-
nation, "Steward, steward, for Heay-
ems sake" uttered in suppressed tones
from the direction of Mrs. Fidgets state
room. Hurrying thither the stewards
found the old lady securely fastened by
the head under the heavy lid of her
trunk behind the stateroom door. She
was eXtricated and found to be unin-
jured. Then she explained that deslr-
ing bottle Of lavender in her trunk she
had pulled IL out from underneath tne
berth and had placed it on the couch be-
meath the port. While engaged in a
frantic search for the bottle the ship
gave lurch, the trunk lid fell upon her
neck, and the first lurch being supple
mented by second, the combination OF
sole-leather and humanity had tumbled
into confused pile in the corner. Anoth-
er night she called the stewardess and
insisted that the captain should ''have
that hose ON deck turned of, as her
room was flooded" 1t was ascertained
that bottle of water she had placed in
the upper berth during the day, and had
| forgotten to replace in the stand, had
decided to stand Oh its head, and the re-
suit was, that the water trickled nicely
down through the Stats and ON to Mrs.
Fidget reclining in spotless white di-
rectly underneath. Mrs. Fidget is only
one of large class who afford ocean
travellers great deal Of amusement.
When the excellent lady to whom we
have referred went ashore at Queens
town (she left the ship as soon as she
| could her face and hands were irescoed
in dark blue and black, she wore court
plaster over her right eve and on the
back of her neck, had her left arm in a
sling and walked quite lame.-N. Y.

Wonderful Calculation.

When the game of chess was first in
vented, the Emperor of China sent for
the inventor, and desired him to teach
it to him. The Emperor was so delight.
ed with the game, that he told the invent
or whatever he should demand should be
coyery: to which he replied that il his
Majesty would but give him grain of
corn for the first square of the chess
board, and keep doubling it every check
until he arrived at the end, he would be
satisfied. At first the Emperor was as
tonished at what lie thought the mans
modesty, and instantly ordered the re-
quest to be granted. The following is
the sum total of number OF grains of
corn, and also the number of times they
would reach round the world, which is

GOYERNMENT IN CHINA.

The system of government III emma
secures so peaceful transition from
one reign to another that the people feel
no concern, and the death of the EN-
peror creates no commotion. The late
Emperor was but nineteen years OF age
when he died. His uncle, Prince hung,
was the acting Emperor. The Empress
Mother, though not the mother of the
late Sovereign, was the principal wife OF
his father. There is also the Empress
Dowager, the mother of the late nominal
ruler.
One would suppose that between two
such women and divers uncles, besides
numerous other relatives to the throne,
there could exist no peace at the capital
nor in the Empire: but on the contrary
not ripple has for fifteen years, since
the death of the old Emperor, disturbed
the placid surface of Celestial sover
eighty. Prince Kung is sort of Bis
marck to the Empire, and he has ruled
in the name of the boy-king without any
one to dispute his authority. The EN-
peror selects his successor. The choice
is inclosed and kept secret in order tc
avoid the temptation to assassinate the
designated successor.
A boy three years old is again Emperor
of 400,00O,0O0 people and Prince Kung
continues to rule, and will do so for
twenty years more if he lives. He is
about torty-three years of age. The
widow of the late Emperor still lives, the
report of suicide being contradicted
She finds herself in her youth doomed
to close confinement under vigilan
ewes during life. Such is the custom
OF the country lest an Empress widow
should enter into other alliances ant
possibly bring scandalupon the Imperia
family.

The Nasty Compounds Sold under the Name Of
CiieWing-Gum.

One Of the commonest and most inju-
rious practices INDUCED in by many
thousands of women and children is that
of maSticating one or more of the prepa-
rations known as chewing-gum. Tne
extent to which these compounds are
used is astonishing, and in some Of the
New England States there are several
large chcWing-gum manufactures,
which afford employment to scores Of
operatives. A. practical chemist, in con-
versation with the writer, remarked
that he didn't believe one of the hun.
dreus Of thousands who "champ-champ-
ed. d.champed" from morning till night
over these preparations had the slightest
idna of the nature of the material to
which they so assiduously devoted
themselves. The practice originated
down East, and the article first used,
harmless enough in itseli, was the gum
my eXudations from spruce and hemlock
trees.
From boys who gathered and chewed
the gum in feeble imitation of old "to-
bacco chewers," it was taken up by wo-
men. The practice increased to such an
extent that eventually chewing-gum
manufactures were started, and, as
the product of nature was inadequate
to the demand, other substances were
brought into requisition, until now a
preparation Of gutta percha Is largely
used.
SIS not the practice of chewing the 30
called gums very injuriousr' asked the
writer of physician the other day.
"Most assuredly it is" was the reply;
"inasmuch as it disturbs the secretions,
and exercises beyond their natural pow
er several of the glands. The waste Of
saliva is also detrimental tofheaith. Be-
ii hnrrI nastV sIlbE tnnapg
of which these cheWing-gums are COM
posed, are in themselves injurious. L
regard the worst as the rubber or gum
elastic, and the pitch and rosin and par
affin. The constitutions OF thousands Of
children are undermined by the use OF
chewing gums, which they take with
them to school or chew elsewhere, away
from the observation OF parents OF other
relatives"
The most injurious of these chewing
gums is that made from gutta percha or
gum-elastic, and; its 'snapping sand
stretching" properties are lauded by the
manufacturers. 1t is made up in rolls
about three inches long, and about as
large round as ones third finger. Each
roll is marked into pieces as large as Il
hoarhound candy drop. 1t is somewhat
of French gray color, and looks not
unlike a piece of putty. When thrown
into the fire it burns with lurid flame,
and the smell of burning rubber can be
detected. Those who have seen the
large, dirty and filthy balls of caoutch-
QUO, or gumelastic, as it Is thrown from
vessels bringing it hither upon the
docks, would almost sicken at the
thought of placing a scrap Of it in their
| mouths. The use OF this stuff is ex-
tremely injurious to the health of both
young and old, and cases in which it
has been accidentally swallowed have
resulted fatally. Another physician
said there was no doubt as to the injury
to health of persons using these articles,
and he believed that the death of many
children might be traced to the mode
rate use of these compositions designat-
ed as chewing -gum.-N. Y. Sunday
