TINT will undoubtedly be hard to overcome
The Canadians ore hard at work, and have,
we understand, in many instances adopted
an American brecch-loader in preference to
the English muzzle-loading weapons they
used in former contests. OF our American
shots we hope to'see most of the names ia
nous at Creedmoor and Dollymount reap
pear in the coming contests for places on
the American team. Judge Gildersleeve,
we believe, has stated that he will not COM
pete, but with this exception wo have heard
of no others likely to desert the victorious
standard. 1t is scarcely worth saying at
this late day that long range rihemen are
not TO be produced in a month, but among
our aspirants to long range honors who have
not appeared on the American team or re-
serves we expect to see such arduous stu
dents of the rifle rs Messrs. Farwell, Jewell,
Rathbone, Geiger, Weber and Hyde give
the veterans close push in the contests for
places on the team.

example of this evil. He is accused Of

company forty thousand dollars for

The amnesty debate having been wound
up in feu de joie Of oratorical firecrackers
Paris finds plenty besides to amuse itself
with in the varied announcements Of new
plays and operas, which. are faithfully de-
scribed in our letter. Another amusement is
offered in the efforts of the Partisan students
to organize Oil international Congress Of
students, to which We suppose America will
be asked to contribute her quota. In this
favored land, where the convention is terri
bic instrument within the reach of every
body, this congress would not excite sur
prise but before we pass any very profound
comment on its advisability we would like
to know what the boys Of the Latin Quarter
will lay before their fellow students
from beyond tho Rhine, tho Pc and
Thames as fit subjects for discussion.
The most pressing needs Of the puys latin
arc generally understood to be. how to make
months paternal allowance last over ten
days; how to live during the remaining
twenty; how to dance from night till
morning and come up fresh at class !;
how to make professors teach them
according to their own pet prejudices !;
how to bamboozle parents by getting
extra money for books, and, gcner-
ally. how to keep up tho war on that enemy
OF culture, the creditor class. With these
subjects to start on, and some philosophic
treatises from the German students on HARM
less duelling and meerschaum pipes, Europe
might reap some benefit through parents
and guardians reading the reports. Our cor
respondent thinks they will turn out to be
body Of sclf-conscious young prigs. This is
very likely.

Tho Religious Press and tho Exhis
bitiOn.

The Centennial Exhibition is a living
and fruitful topic OF thought for our re-
ligious contemporaries The Christian Leader
is delighted with the ''send off, which the
big show received ten days ago. 1t thinks
nothing was lacking to add to the interest
and glory of the day, and it contrasts the oc-
casion with what might have been witnessed a.
century ago. The Je,cish Messenger is opposed
to the absolute closing of the Centennial
grounds and buildings on the Lords Day,
and thinks that on this point the popular
sentiment will make itself understood. The
Messenger thinks the Art Gallery, Main and
horticultural Halls might very profitably be
opened on Sunday, and the working people
thus given an opportunity which they may
not have at any other time. 1t would, how
ever, have the machinery quiet, the liquor
stands and the showcases closed, md such
other marks Of respect shown to the day az
are fitting; but it is opposed to this much
recognition of Christianity as tho law Of the
land. The sJe,cish Times holds similar
view, and adds that if the great mass Of our
population had the Sunday free to them and
access to all sources Of instructive as well as
refreshing amusement, most Of the people
who are now complained of as Sabbath
breakers would lose all desire for riotous
dissipation on that or on any other
day. The sources of education and
rational pleasure in the Exhibition should
be opened to the hundreds of thousands on
Sundays who have no other day for them,
and it would promote the spirit of a pure re-
ligion, an elevated morality and higher
social refinement, and would materially adj
vance the cause Of true temperance. How
differently the same thing strikes other
minds may be inferred from what the Bap-
fist Weekly says on the subject. In connec-
ton with the Centennial the Weekly says
that that Of which we, MS q Christian nation,
have most reason to congratulate ourselves
is, that we have shown to the nations that
we have Sabbath day of sacred rest
To shut tho Exhibition on Sunday has
caused hard battle. 1t is not over yet but
we believe it will be done, and this will bt
worth more to the world than all it has cost
The Tablet seconds the proposition that the
sixty thousand ministers in the United
States gather in Philadelphia during the
summer, as the old Councils of the Church
gathered, and decide by vote the truth and
falsity of doctrines, and That until it is de-
cided what truth is no more churches be
built nor preachers employed. The moral is
a contrast with tho fxity of truth in the Ro-
man Catholic Church.

When the capital of England seriously
puts on it's garments of pomp the resulting
exhibition is likely to be very brilliant and
impressive, and of late years apt to be grace
full Half century Of imported aesthetic
culture has, indeed done more to make the
enormous wealth of England tell in this
direction than seven centuries of insular
development would lead to. Without either
the warm sky or warm natures of the peoples
Of Southern Europe Englishmen struggle
somewhat against Providence in at
tempting sensuous ostentation in pub
lie display. With money-power and
the effect of foreign travel, now SO COM
mon, it is not, however, surprising that the
most worshipful city magnates, just for the
occasion of prince coming east of Temple
Bar should build palace OF Aladdin around
the structure over which hovers the story of
Dick Wilmington and which enshrines rep
resentative English ugliness in the per-
sons of Cog and Magog. Perhaps the
Lord Mayors ambition was infamed
by tho pictures in the illustrated papers
of the Princes progress in the gorgeous
East, and he was resolved not to be outdone
by heather Hindoos. At any rate, the flu
ture Emperor of India had a magnificent
civic pageant prepared for his delectation,
and if his royal mother makes Lord Mayor
Cotton baronet, as our despatch hints is
probable, all hands will be satisfied. The
parade of the Coaching Club by the banks
of the Serpentine, in Hyde Park was pub
lie display of another kind, and, unlike
the semi-O Oriental city celebration, thor
oughly English. A procession Of thirty
coaches, horsed by magnificent ami
mails and driven with faultless skill,
is surely sight that the great god
Apollo himself could look down on from his
heavenly chariot with q throb of pleasure.
1t was certainly worthy of the "subdued
applause" discriminatory bestowed by the
fashionable loungers who looked up at the
drivers as the cavalcade whirled past. The
success of the American artistes, who are
either making their d6buts in London or
reaping fresh lyric honors, will be read
with pleasure here.

This is the Centennial season, not only
with the nation but with the churches, and
to-day Willett street Methodist Episcopal
church will commemorate one half century
of its existence the New England Congrega-
tional church of Brooklyn, E. D., will glory
in it's quarter century life, and DR.. Bowling
will review in a general WY century's
growth of the Baptist Church in this city.
OF course it will not be supposed that the
Doctor will speak from experience. Though
one of the oldest Baptist ministers in New
York he is yet young man in
heart and thought and one of the most
acceptable preachers in the denomination.
In this centennial year, and while so many
representatives of hoary nations Of the Old
World are here, it is eminently fitting that
the brotherhood Of humanity should be
recognized; and as it is a demand Of Christ
that this should be done Mr.. Leavell will
consider both to-day. Here, too, woman's
true sphere and influence are felt and recog-
nized, and Mr.. Lightbourn will have some
thing Of interest to women to say on the sub
ject. But neither the nation nor the indi-
vidual could have attained to their present
position of eminence and glory except
through suffering. and DIR. Hatfield
and Mr.. Seitz will show how oil glory
comes thus But this suffering must
be made profitable by Christian ac-
tivity, as Mr.. Rowell will demonstrate and
not by supineness and being ashamed Of the
Gospel. Nations and individuals should live
= 49,
there is promise and prospect that they
shall be changed into His image, and this
Mr.. Thomas will encourage his church to do.
This was Paul's anticipation as he looked
back in his old age over his busy and useful
life, and this is the theme that will occupy
Mr.. Lloyd's thought this morning. 1t has
often been question with thoughtful stu
dents of the Bible why it was that Jesus
always spoke in parallels. Mr. Ager
will explain the reason, and will de-
monstrate that by no other means could
spiritual truths have been preserved among
the people. Mr.. Alger will present the
claims OF liberal Christianity to support in
this city. and Mr.. J. M. Pullman will show the
influence that church work excrts on social
order. Mr.. Herr will describe model
home, and Mr. Selleck will expand Gods
thoughts to show their preciousncss, ard
will condemn SANDER and evii-speakinr.
Dr. Armitage notifies his congregation that
there's knocking at their doors, and he will
advise them to open and let tho visitor CONS
in. Mr.. Moment will rear his discourse
upon the corner stone, and Mr.. II. H. Pull
man will base his upon the spring songs Of
tho birds and the blossoms. Mr. Johns will
vindicatc the character of Queen Mary. and
Bishop Snow and Mrs. Schertz will expound
prophecies.

Lutte war against tho hordes that might be
brought up from Asia But it is hoped to
pacify the country, and they who do not be-
lieve in patched up peeces have assented
that Austria, which is most interested in the
preservation of the integrity Of Turkey.
shall mako the effort. She was intrusted
with the preparation of bill of reform, be-
cause it was understood that she would
make its terms as easy for Turkey As her
own responsibility to European opinion
would permit. She has certainly in that
bill demanded the least that could satisfy
the mountaineers in revolt.
But what is the result? The least that
can be demanded is too much for the Sultan
to give and preserve his relations with
Islam, as is shown by the revolt at Constanti-
nople. Such reforms must be conceded at
the capital as will pacify the provinces and
induce the rayahs to lay down their arms.
Otherwise the war will continue and there
will be summer of butchory or an armed
occupation. But the indication of any dis
position to concede these reforms provokes
revolt from tho other side of the religious
division. Revolt of the Christians, if there
are no reforms ; if reforms arc conceded, re-
volt of the Mohammedans. Between these
elements, therefore, tho conflict is neces-
sarily irreprcssible, and tho inevitable
consequence must be the expulsion OF tho
Sultan from Europe This fact may be
smothcred for a time yet in the negotiations,
but no other can permanently pacify the
country.

Fancy Pauperisrn.

Starvation is horrible fate, and the hor-
ror Of it is SO commonly recognized that acts
committed to prevent death of this sort are
category of crimes in virtue of their cause.
All laws, all moralitics, almost the deepest
prejudiccs, even OF society--are set aside in
favor of n human creature who can plead
the terrible pangs of hunger as the impulse
that led to offences against laws, moralities
or prejudices. There is no doubt that in
the midst of plenty men and women and
children have died from this cause but they
have had very little to say about it, pride
generally having led them to scorn, in the
battle for life, to acknowledge the great de-
feat that is involved in the call for help
But there is another starving class, one
that makes an uncommon noise about it,
endures n tremendous amount of starvation
and does not die, but keeps on forever in
nm intcrminable series of begging letters
DULLES all public men in station and criti-
cises with bitter severity every charity that
cannot be perverted to machinery for the
cultivation of fancy pauperism. 1t is some
eAAhSo - AAA"AA, oieSASA - Wouiuu, tuut IcpIc-
sents this class. There have been misfor-
tunes ; his health has broken down, if it is a
man; her husband is dead, if it is o
woman, and she has been robbed of her
property by her husbands relations. Some
consideration is claimed for her former sta
ton, and the assistance given is expected to
be gilt-edged. Employment is not precisely
what she wants; yet sympathy does not ap-
pease her appetite. In fact, the letter she
hos brought from distinguished man, who
vouches for the truth of her statements,
ought to secure liberal contribution in
ready money, she fancies and if it fails
woe to those who refuse her-that is, if they
care for offensive statements of the case
made to their prejudice in print or other
wise.
Parasites of this sort will be found and
will flourish in every society where the pco-
pie are generously charitable and cannot
always take time to discriminate nicely the
subjects of their charity and thus these
pauper Adventures and adventuresses tap
and thrive upon the streams that are
nourished for the really needy and hungry.

The WAR IN CUBA progresses with un-
abatcd vigor on the part of the insurgents.
According to the latest dispatches from Ha-
vana the scene of active operations against
tho spaniards has been transferred from tho
Eastern to the Central Department. Of the
island, and We may therefore safely assume
that success has crowned the patriot arm,
during the past few months. Taking the &C.
count coming from Spanish sources as re-
liable basis of opinion we find that tho in
surgent leaders have abandoned the defen-
sive and have assumed the offensive along
their entire line of operations. The finan-
cial necessities of the Havana govern
ment are shown by the rumored intcn-
ton to increase the duties on the cx-
port of sugar and leaf tobacco. With burn
ing plantations around them and decreasing
trade, owing to revenue cxactions, tho posi-
ton of the Spaniards in Cuba is rapidly be-
coming untenable.
