'ls there any remedy for the hard times,
then: Yes; the remedy has been found, and
and people have to take it whether they will
or no. The hard times are working out their
own cure. But the slow operation is hard to
bear. Can it not be accelerated? 1t can if
the business public can be inspired with more
courage and confidence. The torpor that fol-
lows a commercial crash usually prolongs
itself beyond the time when its existence is
necessity, and thus the conditions for re-
neWal of activity exist for months, and per-
haps for year or two, before people venture
to take advantage of them. Timidity holds
them back and makes them take gloomy
view of a situation which is rapidly brighten

coming Spring ought to witness decided re-
vigal in many branches of trade. 1t is unfor-
tnnate that the Presidential campaign comes
just at this time, for it is always disturbing
influence in the channels of business, but on
the other hand we have the Centennial Exhi-

IT is well for the Democratic party that its
leaders in Congress pursue the bottling up
policy with reference to most of the Southern
members. 1t turns out that Blackburn. OF
Kentucky, VINO was SO extremely anxious to
get at Blaine, commanded guerrilla company
during the war, and made a business of mur
dering women and children on the Kentucky
border. His brother was DIR. Lewis Black
burn, who introduced the yellow fever cloth
ing into New York in 1868, and his sister was
Mrs. Morris, who was tried in Cincinnati for
the Chicago conspiracy. Had he been let
loose he would have smashed the party into
smithereens in his blinded Bourbon fury.

Easter.

In answer to inquiries made concern
ing the matter, the Churchman ex-
plains why Easter will fall this yesr on
The 10Th rather than on the 9th of April,
by saying that Easter Day is regulated
not by solar but by a lunar cycle
the cycle that regulates the Golden
Number. Now, by solar calculation
a day always begins at midnight; but
by lunar calculation il begins ut noon.
If, therefore, the Paschal full moon falls
on Saturday after II m, it is counted
as falling on Sunday; and then Easter
Day is, under the rule in the Prayer
Boog, the Sunday following. That is
what happens in the present year. The
Paschal full moon falls ON Saturday,
April 8, at 2:43 p. IN. 1t is, therefore.
counted as falling on Sunday, April 8,
and Easter Day is the Sunday follow
ing, /. e., April l6. 1t may be added
that should the full moon fall on March
q before 12m., that full moon Counted
as falling ON March 20 would not regu-
late Easter Day, but the one following
This happened in 1910.

How TO Get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If YOU have q place of business be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
Never "foOl" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity and
also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
knew nothing OF.
Do not kick everyone in your pain.
More miles can be made in day Dy
going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
Help Others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.
Learn TO say no. No necessity Oh
Swapping it out dog fashion, but say IL
firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather tnnn
those OF others. =,
Learn to think and act for yourself;
Keep ahead rather than behind tne
times.
Young men, cut. this out, and II there
be any fallscy in the argument, let US
know.

/ We have no sympathy with that shrinking
| sentimentalism which protests against Mr.
| Blaine's interposition in the amnesty debate,
or his terrible philippe against JEFF. Davis
We are told by the men who propose to bury
all memories of the war in a silence as mute as
the graves of Andersonville, that it is unwse
to renew these memories. 1t is unwise to for
get them, however rich we may be in forgive
ness. They are black chapter in history, a
lesson in the laws of war, and ought to live as
long as the story of the Duke of Alva And
Mr. Blaine, as we understand it, is only ac-
cused of having paSsionately declared before
God that Andersonville was an infamous
crime and that the one man most responsible
for it should stand ostracised forever That
man means to come back to the United States
Senate an insult TO all the true feaity of the
nation. He lciU come back if Mr. Randaii's
bill is passed, and we say with reverence 10
the truth that no event could happen more
demOralizing 1t would make our great war
a jest and by-word, the suffering Of our pris-
oners jibe. We can not forget these things.
When we do, when we permit the central fig
ure of the rebellion, mean as he is, and his
very littieness is the argument for lis amnes-

States as he hopes to, and will, should Ran

Mr.. G. G.. BONNEY explains the doc
trines of the New Jerusalem Church
(Swedenborgian) at follows: "Jesus
Christ is not only Deity. but the only
Deity, holding in himself the trinity Of
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Man
must repent of sin, be regenerated by
the Holy Spirit and live the new life OF
love to God and good to the neighbor.
The sacred Scriptures are inspired, 'ac-
cording to the divine science Of CORE
spondence between natural and spirit
ual things Swedenborg was not a
prophet, but he was specially prepared
and called by the Lord Jesus Christ to
witness the fulfillment of the revela-
ton and the execution of the judgment
in the spiritual world, in the year 1757, /,
and to declare the second coming of the
Lord which followed. The New
Church, or Church of the New Jeru-
salem, is so named in the twenty-fiTst
chapter of Revelations. 1t is not new
sect. but new dispensation of divine
truth. 1t will endure forever; all other
churcher will pass away. Immediate
ly after death the soul rises into the
world of spirits, which is between
heaven and hell, where it is attended
by angles, and, in due time, is judged
and goes to its proper society in heaven
or in hell, according to the real quality
of its life in the world. All infants are
saved. The material body is not raised,
but the soul rises in spiritual body,
in which it lives forever"

came nnder my observation, and L will
begin here at home, where the Confed-
crate authorities drove the Union pris-
oners into the Jail of Knoxville at the
point of the bayOnet, and overcome
with hunger and thirst they were de-
denied the privilege of drinking out of
the creeks through which they had to
wade. The rebel authorities hauled
water from the river and filled barrels,
and when they would take occasion TO
wash their hands and faces over the
mouth of the barrel and we would re-
monstrate against it, telling them the
water was to drink, they would reply,

that they did not exterminate their

better for Governor Hayes and the

Ritualism Run to Seed.

1t is reported that one hundred ritu-
alistic clergymen of England, with q
constituency of $4,000 men and thrice
that number of women, have memOri-
allied the Pope to recognize their Cath
Olicity. They repudiate the authority
of the false Bishops of the Established
Church, recognize the Pope as the head
of Gods Church on earth, and accept
all his teachings, the Vatican decress
not excepted. In view of the facts that
many OF the petitioners are married,
and their folds are not ready to go over
in body, they ask that United An
glican Church be formed in commu-
nion with Rome, but with National
independence. They are willing to be
conditionally reordained, but ask that
dipensatiOn be granted to those al
ready married 10 remain so, celibicy to
be the rule hereafter, and desire that
they may read the service in English,
except that in the mass they will use
Latin. If these concessions are made,
tie petitioners will firm United An
glican Church, seeding from the Es-
lishment.
This programme was published in
the London Morning Post, of Satur-
day, and naturally enough created ex-
IcItement in religious circles. The Lon
don correspondent of the Now York
Herald says, however, 81 have author
ty for stating that theIe is little prOba-
bility OF the Pope's concurring; nor
does the movement get the support of
the English Catholic Bishops"
This statement is doubtless true. 1t
would be folly to make concessions to
men who are so nearly ready to seeede
without persuasion. "Then, too, the
Pope can see with half an eye that
these one hundred clergymen could
not carry any property belonging to the
Ests blishment with them, while, as
they admit themselves, they are BY no
means sure of being accompanied by
their congregations. These things be-
ing SO, they are doubly useful to the
Vatican Just where they are. In their
present position they are OF great val
ue as decoy ducks, while as denomi-
national appendage to the Church OF
Rome, they would have little infiu-
ence. If they choose to make an une-
quivOcsl reconciliation of their Protes-
tant (?) faith they will not be rejected,
but if they do not do this, they are
much better off as they are, and just as
Catholic as a recognized auxiliary
corps could be. Their cause Is illustra-
tive of the tendencies of ritualism, but
it is astonishing that so few OF the ul-
ira wing OF the Establishment could De
induced to join in the movement.

THE Atlanta Herald is enthusiastic in its
admiration of Mr.. Hill 1t says: 1T does
not weaken our faith in his effort one whit, to
hear that certain Democratic members think
Mr.. Hill went too far and said exactly what
Mr.. Blaine wished him to say. We have been
perfectly well aware that certain Democratic
es, patiently awaiting the opening OF Mr..
Hills mouth, in order that they might make
this very remark. Mr.. Hill has plenty of en-
emies. He is too great man to be without
them. 1t is fortunate for him that he has a
personal character sterling enough to surround
him with devoted friends, and genius pow
erful enough to compel the admiration of even
those who hate him. ~

Ar the close of his series of six Christmas

Ar the close of his series of six Christina:
lectures, in London, On electricity, Prof.
Tyndall remarked that five of them had been
illustrated with apparatus which any teacher
could make of the commonest material, at
scarcely any cost. He hoped the example
thus set would be followed, for the future of
science depended to some extent on teachers
in the public schools. The masters of schools,
he said, should look the problem of scientific
education straight in the face, for science was
growing day by day, and hour by hour, and
although he would deprecate any change from
without in the public school system he would
advi:e the masters to make the change from
within, before the outside pressure became too
strong.
