The Mexican Rev elutien.

HAyAxA, April S'.-The French 1t 'amel
has arrived from Mexico with dates - 18th
inst. The revolution in Jalisco has madt
little progress. The government troops
have been generally successful. Rosendc
MarqueG has been taken prisoner and was
being tried by court martial. The Pro.
nunciados occupied the entire State OF
Moreles. The revolution in Sonora and
Sinaloa confined. In the interior States
the revolutionary movements were of no
consequence. General Escobedo was raising
troope in San Luis Poto.i. He was pressing
men into the service, which caused much
ill-feeling. Tho seat of war was in the
States of Oxaca and Peubla. Generals Al
aterre and Corelia had retired to Tenuacan.
General Alatorre was unsuccessful in his
efforts to take the city of Oxaca, having
met with q reverse. He abandoned bis
wounded on bis retreat. It was supposed
he was awaiting reinforcements. Il was
rumored be had rendered his resignation.
General Lobezs, at the head of l 500 troops,
had occupied Chaichicomula, in the State
Of Puebla, the rebels flying. The revo-
lutiouists had reoccupied Jalapa. The
rebels had again cut the railway between
Vera Cruz and the city Of Mexico, and
trains were only running to Puebla. Gen.
eral Figuera, at the heap of a body of revo-
luti0nists, had destroyed the railway at
OriSaba and Pass del Macho, demanding
$34, 900 from the directors.

Remember the parable Of the
talents-one had ten, another five,
another two, and another one. So
it is among them to-day. Our
"talents" may be compared with
money, with education acquired
art, natural gifts, or with an OPP
portunity to do good. If we use
our one, two, or five talents to be
the best of our ability, we shall be
accepted, and learn the approval
of Him who judges righteously.
Are we so living to-day that we
can ask or hope for Gods blessing
on the course we are pursuing ?
Thisis our right, Jour privilege land
eur duty. We may count our pas
sing moment as unimpertaut, as
they may appear to be uneventful.
But ''time flies" and we must fly
to keen up, or be left behind each
second, like the tick of a clock,
makes its record. We do not rea-
lie this until we come into mid
die life or old age, then if our time
has been frittered away, we are
punished in ''hell" of regrets, for

The classification of Sheep.

Delaine is the generic French
word for wool, though it has be-
come used to designate a fabric
composed of cotton and worsteds,
which is known in the market by
the formation of colored patterns
similar to calico on two or more
fabrics composed ofcotton, worst d
or silk. The fabric original i
mainly In the effort of the Frerch
TO rival the English in the produc-
ton of combing wool from the ram
boulett flock, which originated
from the Spanish merino. The
rambouletts produced wool
which wor. ed well under the
comb, and was too fine for the Or
binary hosiery and stuff goods for
which the English goods were so
admirably suited. The French
struck a new industry from their
own wool which the English
could not initiate because they did
not have a supply of combing
wool of merino blood.

and the English manufacturers are
stimulating the wool growers to
develope a new industry and they
are now producing very desira-
BILE delaine wool by crossing the
Cotswold or Leicester ram on the
merino eve. The result Is a heavy
carcass, heavier fleece, a longer
staple and altogether more prof.

kind of wool has been imported to
New York from New Zealand
during the past year, and has COM

The Road to Ruin.

The road to ruin is paved with
good intentions. 1t is Strewn with
broken resolutions, and all along
its crooked and winding ways are
scattered the wrecks of what might
have been the noblest specimens
of manhood and womanhood.
Fraility and fallib' y are COM
mon to human nature. "There are
prssiOns strong and ambitions
Wild" that lead life's wayfarers,
step by step dowd the long grade,
until demoralized and weaked,
both in body and mind, they fall
by the way, and in there distress
and .helplessness they find none to
comfort them.
God knows we all need mend
ing, for it is as impossible for men
or women to attain absolute hui
man perfection as it is for them to
touch with their hapless hands the
stars that CLEAN in the broad arch
Of the universe. Our lives go on
and fail we are tempted and we
fall.
