A MAN BOILED TO DEATH.-At an early
hour yesterday morning, the fireman IN
Roemmelt & Leicht's brewery, on Jersey
City Heights, built fire under one of
the large tanks used for boiling water.
A short time afterward lie returned to
to the tank-having been attending to
same other duty in the meantime and
was surprised at hearing splash OF
water, as if heavy body had fallen
into it. Then he heard groan, as OF
human being in agony. He imre-
diately turned the faucet to draw of the
water, and hastily raked out the fire.
Some of the men of the brewery then
mounted the ladder, by which access to
the tank is gained, and looking over the
edge. saw man lying at the bottom.
Ropes were promptly procured. and the
man was hoisted out, but life Was ex :
tinct. His features we're 80 disfgured
that it was next to impossible to recog-
him, but from his clothing he is sup
posed to be a man named Muell, a
painter, who resided in Washington
village, and who was in the habit OF
visiting the brewery occasionally. How
he got into the tank is mystery, un-
less, as some of the worknen suppose.
he climbed up to the top to look IN for
the purpose of gratifying his curiosity
That he made desperate attempts to
get out is evident from the fact of the
fireman hearing the splash in the water.
The tank is nearly ten high. and per-
fectly smooth on the inside. County
Physician Stout examined the body and
expressed the opinion that the man was
steamed to death.-N, 7. Times, Dec. l.

A VISION OF UNIVERSAL BRoTHERHOOD-l am
sometimes called an enthusiast and a dreamer.
Perhaps | am. At least l shall enter into no dis
cussion about it. But / confess that [ look for
ward to or dream of the coming of that hour when
the bully among the nations will be treated as the
bully among individuals is treated; when the true
glory of a people will be their industrial, social
and intellectual progress and their peaceful con-
quests; and when aggressive war will be condemn
ed by the universal voice of civilized men. The
first great step toward this consummate end is the
cordial understanding of England and AMERICA.
Let these nations comprising all the English speak
ing people on the face of the earth, agree in this
one sentiment, that war between them shall never
be, and that their misunderstanding, if unhappily
misunderstanding arise, shall be settled by i'm
partial arbiters and an influence of incalculable
force will be created in favor of peace all over the
world. For my own part, | would have not merely
an understanding put into words, a treaty of in
definite duration, though revOcable on notice
pledging the faith Of the two nations that when
ever a point of difference may spring up between
them, upon which they cannot come to an agree
ment, the difference shall be determined by the
arbitrament of others. Then, indeed, should we
behold the dawn of a new day; the two freest and
strongest of the nations would set an example to
all the rest, and whatever might happen on the
Continent of Europe, it is almost certain that, at
the very worst, the greater part ofthe world would
remain in peace. This is, if you please my dream.
May the dream turn cut to be prophecy. and the
prophecy ripen speedily to fulfllment.-Daui

MID-UCEAN TELEGRAPH STATIONS.-Seyeral
foreign naval Powers are directing their atten-
tion t. the practicability Of establishing telegraph
stations in mid-ocean, by which messages can be
sent from any part Of the sea along the line Of
the cable 10 the terminal points on shore, and
yice teTSa. - that communication with irOnclads,
mail-stcaiuers, aud other vessels, when out at sea,
may be established. The invention consists Of a
hollow sectional column, with a base plate attach
ed by ball-and-socket joint, which column is
lowered into the water, and anchored rigidly to
the ground. The branch cable is coupled TO the
main cable, and carried along the column TO the
surface Of the water, to be there connected with
instruments on board the vessels. BY this inven-
ton it is proposed to control naval and STRATEGY
cal movements, whilst n ship in distress could
communicate her exact position, the nature OF
her disasters, and thus procure assistance.

The STRENGTH OF ENGLAND.-The Poster LLoyd,
referring to the alleged acquisition by England of
the harbour of Mohammerah, at the mouth of the
Tigris and Euphrates, says that this is probably
the first step towards the construction of the
Euphrates Valley railway, and the continuation
of the policy which led to the purchase of the
Suez Canal shares. England has now one foot
in the stirrup at Suez on the other at Mohamme-
rah. Russia will have to lower her flag she has
neither the material power nor the spirit to beat
England out OF the field. Was it to be expected
that, while Russia was advancing towards India,
the statesmen of the richest and most cultivated
nation of the world should look on with folded
arms? The truth is that England is now as strong,
and her policy is as great, as ever-as in the time
Of William the III, or of Wellington. She does
not make any show of military strength, but she
will get that when she wants it. 4 country
which has so much money and so many resources,
whose people are inspired with so grand a patri-
otism, and whose Government acts with such a
mastery policy, does not meet with the difficult
ties of Continental nations in raising an army.
Let the English people only be convinced that
their army requires developing-as seems to be
the case since the Duke Of Cambridge's last
speech-and the thing is as good as done"

TOMBSTONE TRoUBLEs.-The first line fthe well
known hymn, CLARK, from the TOmbs,' - applies
very well to a certain class of items which are
quite frequent of late in England, for those writer's
whose contributions in literature are confined
chiefly to tombstone Inscriptions find as much
opposition to freedom ofexpression as newspapers
did prior to the establishment of freedom of the
press during the rein of George III. The latest
trouble in that direction is the Bishop of Ripon's
refusal to sanction the use of the words Requies-
cat IN pace on a grayestone, inasmuch as they are
in fact a prayer for the dead, and contrary to the
doctrines Of the Church of England. Of course a
controversy is the result, and one opponent to
the Bishop, in a letter to the London Times quotes
a case decided in 1888 or 80, when it was
sought to prevent the inscription of the words
- Pray for the repose Of the soul of j. W" upon
a tombstone. In that case the court held that the
primitive usage of prayers for the dead was to be
distinguished from the modern doctrine Of purga-
tory, and declared the inscription to be lawful;
with this observation, that while prayers for the
departed were not favoured, neither were they
any where prohibited by the Church of England.
y good way out Of the difficulty would be to con-
slider 50 Requescat IN pace simply an injunction
to body snatchcrs and gossips to let the dead per-
son alone, restricting neither his body nor his
faults.

The ladies are destined to meet some new and
vigorous opponents to their present pullback
fashion of dress in the ministers. Two of them
have already blown vigorous blasts against the
;mproprieties Of the fashion, one Of them asserting
that it produces sensual suggestions. The other
approaches the subject as if he were walking on
eggs: with unfeigned and ineffable respect,
in tender reverence, we say to our fair readers
this fashion is essentially indicate, however
modified and restrained, and is often grossly
indecent.l If they doubt, let them ask husbands,
fathers, elder brothers, for a thoughtful and
candid opinion There are two very touching
facts connected with this ministerial reproof:
First, that a minister should suppose that any
woman would consult with her father or husband
about the fashion of her dress; and, second. that
the ministers have noticed the "pullback" at
all.

MoRRIssEY FOR COMMON SCHooLs.-John Norris
sey made a good speech recently in the New York
Senate. Though representing the most Catholic
district in the United States. being himself a
kind of a Catholic, he frankly committed himself to
the support of the common school system. There is
something both manly and touching in this extract
FROM his maiden effort at speech-making; "Iam not
here to represent any religious creed. l have no pref
udices inthat way. As far as the common schools are
concerned, what education have got, Mr.. President.

ciate the want of education more, perhaps, than any

school system than l will. - ittSburgh Leader.
