Traffic being interrupted between Vera Cruz
and Mexico, it is probable the insurgents have
carried into effect their threat to destroy the
great bridges on the railroad between the two
cities These works, constructed at great cx-
pense by British capital, cannot be easily re-
placed. Their wanton destruction ought TO
bring infamy on the insurgents.

The WinslOw case is assuming more favor
able aspect Yesterday the British Govern
ment had the prisoner again remanded, and
Welding to the Liberal demand, promised to
lay the correspondence on the subject before
Parliament. At the same time the C0nserva-
tive organ declared that Mr.. Fish is right and
made fun of the distorted meaning which the
law advisers have given the Extradtion act OF
1870. 1t likewise intimated that the Govern
ment will submit the matter to the Court OF
Queens Bench. These circumstances betray
the weakness of the British position, and indi-
cate that the authorities are preparing to back
down. The "masterly inactivity" our Gov
ernment has observed since it defined its
course is proving successful.

The County Courthouse has been fright
fully expensive building. Not even the millions
squandered nominally upon it by the Ring, nor
the funds yet needed to complete the structure
represent its total cost. TO all else must be
added the injury which it has inflicted
upon the courts compelled to sit in the
building. The odor of corruption has lit
orally hung about it, and the unscientiiic
ventilation attempted has made bad worse
till nearly all the Judges of the Supreme
Court arc now on tho sick list, poisoned by
foul air. 1t would have been good economy
to burn down the Courthouse years ago.

1t appears to be generally conceded that the
President. by the nomination of Don Cameron,
has indicated tho purpose of an active support
to Mr.. Conkling. But according to our wash

capital that such support, to be OF efficient
service, should have been given before the
Republican Conventions were held in the lead
ing States.

A Knowing Bird.

Where do you think bird once built it's
nest? On the edge of quarry of slate so
near that when the rock was blasted, a piece
of the flying and falling slate frightened and
incommoded the poor bird very much. 1t
was a thrush. Yet she did not change her
quarters. But being pretty observing
bird, she noticed that at the ringing of bell
the men started and ran. "Ah," thought
the bird, "I'll run too" So the next time
the train was fired and the bell rang to warn
the men away, the thrush few from her nest
and lighted among them,-indeed, close un-
der their feet. The explosion over, she re-
turned to her nest and they to their work.
This she did whenever they blasted. Of
course it highly diverted the men, and visi-
tors were told of her sensible and discerning
conduct. They were anxious to see the
thrush. The slate could not be blasted to
crafty visitors, but the bell could be easily
rung, and it was. The bird heard it and
down she few. After few times she saw
herself hoaxed, and when the ellrang again,
she peeped over her nest to see if the men
left. If they did not, she sat still and cock
ed her head, IS much as to say, "NO, gentle
men, am not to be cheated again. Life In
my nest is too serious to be trfad away fol

The complete excavations will reveal curl

the genuineness of the relics, and the age to
which they belong. A high ecclesiastical
authority Of the Jesuit order in New York
believes that Schlemann has made more
valuable discovery than that which he au-
nounced some years ago in ancient Troy
The poet Bryant is of opinion that, if the
discovery is true, it will effect " complete
restoration Of the Homerc heroes. You know
that some very learned men had come to
look upon the whole story of the seige Of
Troy as fabulous. If DR.. Schliemann can

Repetilions of the Bible.

"God Speaketh once, yea, twice, yet man
perceiveth it not" Even children must have
noticed the repetitions of the Bible. There
appears no attempt to economic room, for
the Book of Numbers could have been COM
pressed into twelfth of the space. Here
everything is related with the precision of a
catalogue or legal document. The same
might be said of the Acts, where space, so to
speak, is more precious. In measure this
is due to the fact that the Bible, as far as it's
human writer's were concerned, is not one
book, but collection Of hooks, covering q
long space of time in their production, and
without any mutual understanding, each au
thor putting down what he considered neces-
sary for his own purpose. Then, again, re-
iteration was characteristic of the Orientals,
as seen in their poems, of which the Bible is
the most beautiful specimen. The reason of
all this is obvious. Are not children taught
by iteration and reiteration? We impress
knowledge and conviction on their minds BY
repeating many times the same thought in
the same words. To complain of this repeti-
GlOu III bu6 DiUlo 10 LuO5G Jul OooOpoul0' IL
proves conclusively that the Bible is an old
and genuine book, and that it was neither
written in our time nor country. The OBJ.
ject the inspired writers had in view was to
render deeper impression. 1t is in the
words of the text" God speaking once,
yea, twice." The Lord in ancient times
would send prophet again AID again with
the same message to warn the people, and
this heaping up of line upon line left them
without excuse in the day of their trouble.
1t was the same in gospel times, and it is so
in our own day. God sends to the people
preacher after preacher, saying the same
things, and there's nothing more grievOuS to
God and to the minister than to see people
growing hard under an awakening ministry.
Every preacher repeats, or ought to repeat,
his testimony, although a skilIful preacher
will vary his method and language. This is
rendered necessary by the very nature of
moral and religious truth, and the inaptitude

a Little Every Day.

The longest life Is made up of simple
dsys,-few or many; but the days grow into
years, and give the measures of our lives at
the last.
The life is at last what the days have been.
Let the children therefore look after the
days,-One day at a time,-and put into
each one something that will last-souething
worth doing, something worth remembering,
something worth initiating by those who fol-
low us.

Three thousand six hundred and fifty facts

2. Every day a little self-denial. The
thing that IS difficult to do to-day, will be an
easy thing to do three hundred and sixty
days hence, if each day 1t shall have been
repeated. What power Of self mastery shall

seeks every day to practice the grace he
pays for!

TRUST.

A good woman was visiting among the
poor in London one cold winters day, She
was trying to open the door of third.stOry
room in wretched looking house, when she
heard little voice inside say, "Pull the
string up high-pull the string up high.
She looked up and saw string. She pulled
it, when i; lifted the latch, and the door
opened into room where she found two lit
tie half-nakod children, all alone. They
looked cold and hungry.
Do you take care of yourselves, little
OnesH" said the good woman.
"No, mA'am; God takes care of US, re-
piled the elder of the children.
"You have no FIRE on this cold day. Are
you not very cOld?"

der the quilt, and put my arms round

Sand what do you have to eat, pray? "
asked the visitor.
"When granny comes home she brings us
something. Granny says we are Gods spar
rows, and he has enough for US; and so we
say, '0ur Father" and daily bread every
day. God IS our Father"
Tears came into the eyes Of this good
woman. She had sometimes felt afraid that
she might be left TO stsrVe; but these little
"sparrows, perehed alone in that cold up
per room, tsught her sweet lesson of trust
in the power cf God, which she felt that she
should not soon fOrget.-Rev. DR.. Hall.
