Crime in the United States.

It has been estimated by Mr.. q. An
geII. of Massachusetts, that the annual
cost of crime in this country is two hun
dred millions of dollars. 1t has more
than doubled in the past ten years.
Crime in Massachusetts, is thirty-three
per cent. greater than in Ireland and
the great question now for all good citi-
zens is, how are we going to stop this
increase of crime? The education of the
intellect will not do it; the churches can
not stop it, for not half the people of the
United States ever go to church. The
Sunday schools can not stop 1T. There
are ONLY two remedies: One is to multi
ply iails, police courts, judges, peniten-
tiaries, cOnstabulary, etc, and the other,
in the words of DIR. Holland:
eff you want to stop rascals, you must
stop raising them"
The columns of the newspapers Will
not cease to be filed with the records OF
crime and misery while thousands oi
children are allowed to grow up without
moral, religious or mental education,
and the only way to reach these children
is through the public schools.
For the safety of republican instltu-
tions we need in our public school edu-
cation the teaching of the higher truths
of religion. One of the best ways to
reach the hearts of children and ennoble
them, is to teach them kindness to ami
mails. Every step taken in this direction
promotes an education which elevates
human souls and prepares the way for
Him who came preaching Peace on
earth, good will to men," l believe we
should begin to talk in our schools about
God and humanity, and then the teach
er's profession will be the noblest in the
land.

TEACHING COURAGE. - Courage Is a
vital element of christian chivalry.
Without it, indeed, neither truth nor
fidelity to promise can be hoped for.
The coward is sure to lie when truth
means punishment, and sure TO retreat
from his ENGAGEMENTS when they involve
periI. We need valiant souls that have
learned to endure aud scOrn pain, and To
face danger fearlesly and promptly when
duty requires. Some parents evade the
vital part of training by glos5eS and de-
ception. A mother who has taken her
bow TO the dentists TO get tooth out,
will often say, if he is shrinking, Sit
still. nv boy, IL won't hurt you" Now
she knows it will hurt him, but thinks
if she can only get him by this device to
sit still and let the dentist get hold oi
the tooth. then his discovery OF the PAIN
will not hinder it's extraction. 1hi5 -
n double mistake il destroys her boys
confidence in her for he detects her in a
lie. And though il gets the boy this
time. TO sit still, IL is under the delusien
that there is to be no pain, whereas he
should be taught 10 face the PAIN ana
seorn il. This makes the difference be
tween the towards and heroes. A Tegi-
ment of poltroons could march up to a
battery AS cheerfully as .. regiment OF
heroes, if they thought there was no
enemy at the guns. The difference IL
that heroes know the danger and YET
face it valiantly.

No FEMININE LAWYERS FOR Wi-'oN-
sIN.-Chief Justice Ryan has rendered
the decision of the supreme court dehy-
ing the application made some weeks
since by Miss Goodell, of Janesyille, u
practice in that court. The opinion w.S
elaborate. and critically examines the
statutes and fortifies and illustrates the
oninions advanced. IL is held that, ii
the legislature has power TO prescribe ihe
terms of admission TO practice III the
courts-and that is legislative and not
judicial power-there is no Wisconsiln
statute authorizing the admission OF ie-
males To a bar which the common law
has aIwavs excluded them. IL - held
that Tho rule of construction applying
the words masculine gender TO females is
only permitted 10 aid in constituting
statutes according to legislative intent,
and that neither in nor out Of the statute
can anv such legislative intent TO admit
women TO the bar be found. If tins RUE
of construction were applied to the
statutes, TO which it is equally appilca-
bIe. IL would break down all distinctions
of sex i'm state government, ana ADMIT
women TO nearly all public offices, exec
utiye, legislative and Judicial. The
court saws it is not sorry no statute can
be found admitting women to the bar OF
state courts, for il does not think 1t
proper place Tor the exercise OF her pecu-
liar qualities or for the preservation oi
her purity.

WELL-MANNERED-Japanese women
are charming in manner, and would be
in appearance, were it not for their un-
calmly forms, which are ruined by
clumsy mode of dress, and, among the
poorer classes, the practice of carrying
burdens on the back. When Japanese
girl reaches the. age of sixteen years
without having undergone either of the
processes Of detormity, she is a wonder
to the eye, and remains so until twenty.
five, or possibly little later. Then she
ceases to charm for a certain period, in
any way excepting by her manner, and
that Is generally preserved to the last.
But as she grows old she has a chance of
becoming quite delightful again. There
is nothing nicer than a dignified and
white haired old japanese lady. She is
always happy, for She is always much
respected and cherished by her youngers,
and at certain age the natural high
breeding of the race appears in her to
attain its crystalization.

RRowN PAPER AND HAVANA CIGARS.
1t is stated that not a steamer leaves
New York for Havana that does not take
out from 1000 to 5000 reams, or in oc-
casionaI instances as high as 81, 900 reams,
of coarse brown wrapping paper. W hat
this paper was used for was for long
time a mystery; but it has recently been
revealed that it enters into the manu-
facture of "pure Havana cigars" 1t
Is said that when saturated in the Jnice
of tobacco stems, the straw paper makes
a " filling" almost equal, if not superior,
to the genuine leaf. In fact, it is some
times impossible to detect the delicate
film of paper interlapped with leaves in
the finished cigar, or neatly folding the
exterior. For this purpose, we are told,
it serves admirably, the paper, under
combustion, leaving no residium other
than a pure white ash. TO such a refine
ment of art has this business been carried
that by the use of machines rolled over
the sheet of paper an almost perfect inn
preston of the tobacco leaf is obtained,
the peculiar "spots" being printed as ON
calico. Smokers of Havana cigars will
no doubt consume their tweed with
added zest after learning of what it Is
probably composed.

VALUABLE II TEUE.--The Fincastlee
Herald has been informed that a piece OF
iron hung IN fruit trees will efectuaily
prevent the ravages of frost. The in
iormant states that the night before the
freeze in April, last, he hung several
niaces of old iron in ten of his peach
trees. and the trees were loaded with
neacbes. the yield being not less than
speTentv,five SEVENTY bushels. The fruit of the
remaining trees (sixty-ive in number)
in the orchard was all killed. A piece
of horseshoe was hung in cherTy-tIee
in the same orchard, and the yield was
abundant, while on the three adjacent
trees the fruit was entirely killed. He

The War on Abyssinia.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Alexandria on the fifteenth
of January, says: 81 cannot report, as
I hoped, the end of the AbysSinian war.
The tapttfe Of Get. Kirkham Is, hUw-
ever, confirmed, and it occurred under
the circumstances l detailed last week.
With him were also taken two English
men of the name Of Hampton. The lat
ter two protest against their detention on
the gIojff1d that war had not been regti-
larly declared at the time they were
taken. 1t is difficult to see how they
can seriously maintain this conviction if
it be true, as is stated, that they went
out with the Abyssinians. They are, by
order of the khedive, to be sent to Eng
land, but Kirkham is to be detained at
Massowah until the campaign IS over.
While the prisoners are left at Massowah,
the main Egyptian army has marched to
the heights of the Harnaseen territory,
which is one of the cdsus betti, each coun-
try claiming 1t as its own. The small
Egyptian force which was cut to pieces
some few weeks ago took the same fottte.
The Abyssinians fell back, trusting to
the natural defense afforded by their
country, which is not untruly called the
African Switzerland. Even on the
Hamaseen frontier there are mountains
six and seven thousand feet high. The
Egyptians followed their opponents, al
lowed themselves to be divided, and met
with the disaster now well known. But
there are is no fear that the present army
will fall into a similar trap. Their num-
bers are tenfold; they are armed with
the Remington rife, and several corps
of field artillery are with them; they
are supplied with all that is necessary for
long campaign proper cofhmissariat
and transport service has been organized;
large numbers of camels and mules, and
even few elephants, have gone forward;
and what is more important than all the
expedition is under the command of the
best tactician and most experienced gen.
eral Egypt possesses. Provided that she
will be satisfied with Furnishing the Abys-
sinians, and not be tempted to annex
Abyssinia, there is every probability that
Egypt will succeed"

The financial difficulties Of Turkey
have not checked the work upon the
mosque which the sultan is building near
his palace at Dolmahbagcheh, and which
it is estimated will cost f2,OO0,O0O. The
correspondent of the London Times says
that the expediency of deposing the
sultan, on account chiefly OF his lavish
expenditure, is freely discussed by both
his Mohammedan and his christian sub
iects.

How A FAT Boy INFLUENCED THE
BUILDING OF THE SUEz CANAL.-The
Suez canal was an old scheme of NJ. de
Lesseps, and by 1852 he had submitted
plans for its construction to the porte,
but the porte decided that Turkey was
not concerned. However, when Mo
hammed Said came to be Viceroy of
Egypt the Frenchman had friend in
power, and the work was ordered to go
on. When NJ. de Lesseps was consul
in Egypt, Said was great fat boy, and
his father, Mehemet Ali, annoyed at
seeing this fatness increase, had him put
on restricted diet, and used to send him
for two hours day to walk round the
city, to skip with rope, to row and to
climb the masts of ships. The boy made
friends with NJ. de Lesseps and got secret
meals of maccaroni from his servants.
This was the beginning of friendship
which led to such memorable results (;
and it is a curious instance of how great
things and small are interviewer in the
web of life, that if Said Pasha had not
been a fat boy with a severe father NJ.
de Lesseps' scheme might have been
treated by him with as little attention
as it was by the porte, and we should
have had no SueZ canal.

laid her young child down on the beach.
A frightful cry told the mother that all

A MODEL for a wonderful ferry across
the British channel and the Atlantic
has been tried in England. The struc-
ture consists of three parallel tubes, far
enough apart to allow paddles to work
between them, the whole being linked
together to form a single vessel, covered
by deck, on which the inventor, Mr..
Edgarton, proposes to carry railroad
trains and a thousand head of cattle at
time. The channel passage is to be
