THE WAY o. THE WIND.

"Why does the East Wind always complain p
Because heis married TO the Rain.
"Why is the North Winds breath so strong9-
He has wrestled with icebergs fierce and long.
why is the South Winds step so Iight9-
Out Of a sleeping land in fight
"why is the West Winds touch aaame?-
Out Of a sunset cloud he came"
Lying under a summer tree
This is what Zephyr sang tome.
Zephyr, with hattering words and low,
Tells but half the truth 1 know
Four great boys in an ancient hall,
They grew mp thinking their win was all.
Sweet Mother Nature. the dearest dame
fear her softness is much 10 blame
Lovely and quiet, year out. year in,
Her soft white blankets she sits to spin;
Rose-hued curtains. and carpets green,
Broidered cushions Of satin sheen
Her guests are bidden. her house is fair
For wild rovers have entrance there.
Never's an hour so still and sweet
But may be broken by trampling feet;
But when from the ruin they turn away,
Oh, who so gentle and blithe as they?
They rock the cradles in tall tree-tops.
They run with the tripping water-drops;
Daintily cOurting, they sigh and pine
Round the fower-ladies so pure and fine.
Well they love pleasure but mischief best
Too swift and subtle and strong for rest
Up and down in the world they 90,
And mock us with every voice we know.
They pipe 10 the dreamers OF even-sOng;
They mourn TO the watchers all night long.
Then down the chimney they shout and roar
Shrek at the lattice and shake the door.
The old man, signing. repeateth still,
"The viii o the wind is bOyhood's will;"
The boy, with wondering, silent lips,
Thinks Of the sea and the waited ships;
And each In his DIM heart longs to find
Out Of his world the way o. the wind.

THE WORLDS POPULATION.
The latest estimate of the number of
people in, the world and their division
into religions, may be thus tabulated:
l.2ss.Oh.MO


This is largely an estimate only, as
many of the countries are very made
quately enumerated by census. Parts of
Africa and Asia must be guessed at,
with very few data to go upon. But if
we drop the surplus above the thousand
millions, supposing that the heathan ma
tions are less correctly counted than the
others, we still have the apalling fact
that at least OO,O00,000 of the human
race are in the midst of Pagan or Mo-
hammedan darkness. and are in the
ways of sin and death.
The thought is eloquent A matter
Of-fact people and age, ought to be move
ed more by its statement than by the
most exciting appeals. With the pow
ers of civilization, with wealth aud
means of making the money instrumen-
tai in conveying our civilization and
Christianity to the darkest and most
distant parts of the earth. why should
we not evangelize the world without de-
lay? All the real power Of the world is
in the hands of nominal Christians.
They ought to give their religion to the
rest.

to farmers and others accustomed to deal
in cattle. man sold COW to a farmer,
warranting that she was free from the foot
and mouth disease, Of late years 80 preva-
lent in Great Britain. The purchaser
turned the COW out with other cows which
he owned. She had the foot and mouth
disease when he bought her, as 1t proved,
and not only died herself, but infected a
number of the other cows, and they also
died. Thereupon the farmer sued for
breach of warranty, and sought TO recover
ms damages not only the value of the par
ticular COW sold to him, but that OF the
Others to which she had fatally communi-
Gated the disease. He recovered damages
for ALL and the defendant moved in the
Common Pleas Division for new trial, on
the ground that the case being simply
breach Of warranty, without fraud or mis-
representation, the true measure of dam
ages was the sum paid for the animal, and
that only. The other damages claimed
were said to be too remote.
But the Court held otherwise, and APP
proved the direction given to the jury at
the assizes by Mr.. Justice ARCHIBALD,
brother Of the British Consul ut this port.
He told them that In estimating the dam
ages they might take into consideration
the fact that the buyer was a farmer. and
that the seller knew, or must be held 10
have known, that In the ordinary course Of
his business rs n farmer he would place
the diseased COW with other cows. The loss
Of the other cows would thus be the nntu-
raj consequence of n breach OF tho war
ranty, and IT is only reasonable 10 presume
that it was In the contemplation of the
parties when the contract was made. All
the Judges concurred i'm denying the APP
plication for new trial. Their view
ought to commend itself to farmers; es-
pecially rs it seems 10 involve the legal
presumption that every farmer has more
than one COW.

No man was ever nominated for Presi-
dcut without the cordial support in tue
National Convention Of The delegates from
h.s own state and the portion Of the Union
of which he claimed to he the representa-
tive. This rule is not only IN accordance
with the precedents of history, but is
based on solid reasons, for if an aspirant
to the Presidency is not strong in his own

other portions of the country?

tains him, though even there we have seen
no proofs of extraordinary efforts in his
behalf. But Maine is small, inconsi lera-
bic State. OF the 1872 delegates in the Gin
cinnati Convention it will have only IL.
The friends of BLAINE were well aware
that they must find n broader foundation
whereon to rest his towering pretcnsiCus
than this handful of votes. Hence they
brought him forward as the New England
candidate. They showed tact in this, for
while the six New England states had
given large majorties for every Repubh-
can nominee for President, the candidate
had never been selected from that region.

fall with the exception Of Connecticut
and their aggregate vote in the National
Convention would be eighty, and nearly
equal to that of New York and New Jersey

a glance over the field would show that
these considerations must give great
weight to the voice of New England in the
Convention, and would impress a shrewd
political strategist like BLAINE with the
prime importance OF securing all the del
egates to Cincinnati from that Republican
stronghold. And how has he Jared there?
Though there is an utter absence of en-
thusiasm for him in the little corner State

the fourteen delegates from Maine. Yet

on the subject; but we are sure that not
even the most optimistic observer will as
sert that these many ages Of preaching by
millions OF clergymen have covered the
community with the fruitage which ought
to have grown from the seeds planted by
the apostolic preachers.
1t does not seem to us that this subject Is
unworthy the attention OF the rulers Of
the largest denomination in this country,
now in session at Baltimore. They would
surely find the study profitable one. If
it should appear to them that their preach
ing, or their ideas, or their ways, or their
practices, are In any respect different
from those inculcated by the Founder of
Christianity; or If II should seem to them

whose ingenuity, when he was Governor the pco-
pie Of that state are indebted for the Returning
Board which has been so efectually used 10 re-
construct election returns, is undertaking the
arduous task OF regulating the political ma
chinery of both parties in the approaching cleo
tion. His plans, II is alleged, are to obtain the
nomination Of the Republican party for Gov
ernor. and then 20 organize Fusion party,
which shall be nominally Democratic or Con-
servativc. This IA precisely the same pro-
eramme which CHAMBFRI AIN has In view, ex
cept that the latter modesty expects that hts
Fusion party will absorb the whole Democratic
vote, Instead Of part of II. The argument for
fusion put forth In both States is that the Dem
ocrate cannot elect Governor Of their own po-
ltical faith, and, therefore. IL Ia expedient for
them 10 make the best possible bargain with
their opponents. Leaving out OF view the i'm
morality OF such bargaining for oflce, the argu-
ment so far as Louisiana is concerned, has no
basis whatever. The Democrats, at the last two
elections, legally elected their candidates for
State officers under far less favorable circum-
stances than now exist, and no intelligent esti-
mate Of the Presidential vote In November
places that OF Louisiana anywhere except IN the
Democratic column. For the Democrats to
surrender TO any such inducements rs WAR

pidity, andthey are net likely to fall into such
an open trap. The New Orleans Democrat says

There lie outside work of various kinds,
including the Congressional kind, before the

author OF the protest On Thursday and yestcr-
day they took up the Indian question, under n
body Of resolutions which condemned and pro-
tested against the bill now before Congress,
traneferring the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment. The subject WAS introduced 10 the
Conference by the Rev. J. II. W ILnrR Of Oregon.

ference has given precedence 10 political bust
ness, and we understand that many more ques-

ton, so that they may guard themselves against
being used men who have interests to serve
that are not religious.

The Naval Ilumbug.

many millions moro, TO s12,100OOo, against
about sl7.000,0 600 last year. This Il well, so
far rs il goes, but II the navy was put back
where il was before the war, and made us

more could be saved

big estimates this year for an opposition
House TO cut down, and II is n significant
circumstance that he approved the lop-
ping on The ap propriations for the navy,
If they reached slO,OOo,OO0, would he high.
1t is absurd for us to attempt to keep up q
navy TO compete with those of European
Powers. In the event Of war our navy
would be of insignificant use 10 us. To
defend our coast line with ships we should
need the combined navies of Europe, and
then it would be insuflicicntly guarded
AS 1t is, we have not vessel that amounts
to anything against ircnclnds like the
In1exible and n dozen others of the
British Navy, and our guns bear no COM
parison with those afoat by the hundred
in foreign nGvies. They are mere pop
guns compared with the big rifles Of the
other great Powers.
Nor is there need that we should keep
up great display of ironclads and heavy
ordnance. What we require Is lot of
effective movable torpedocs to protect our
harbors, and they can be had at q small
expense. AS for the navy, If it is deemed
necessary to send ships cruising about the
world, the slow tubs SEcoR RoBnERsoS
has now will be equal to the purpose. A
great navy Is for us nothing more than an
expensive toy. What we have got now is
the laughing stock of the world, and vet
we propose TO spend next year nearly thir-
teen millions on II.
The Committee on Appropriations should
have abolished all the navy yards except
one on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific
coast. That is all we need. The navy

knows, are all seats Of political corrup-
