The New Party Movement.

Talk Of new party is revived on many
sides. AS it all comes from ono party, It
shows that that one is in its own opinion
not in good form. With this talk the
Eagle has had little to do. Newspapers
DO no not make or unmako parties.
The obituaries of parties in newspapers
nearly always fail to find tho corpse
ready. Parties grow out of public ex-
igencies or die because they miss or mis-.
conceive them. The Republican organs
have killed and buried tho Democratic
party every six months for seventeen
years. That organization is, however,
indestructible, for it is founded on prin-
ciples which are permanent, uniform and
universal. They must last ,as long Us hu-
man nature endures. The opposition to
the sway of these principles is only a
proof of the raw development of society
or Of the inferiority Of Democrats to the
full duty Of tho only true principle they
have In custody. Society improves aud
Democracy comes to power. Democrats
fail to rise to the >full measure of their
principles, and they go out of power
while new men are voted in to administer
on the came principles in another name.
These men themselves fail in turn, and
back come the Democrats bettered by
adyersity.
Democracy has given the union oil tbs

To MEASURE LAND.---A progressive
farmer says the most simple way to mens-
aTe land is to. take two stats about six
feet long, sharpen one end of each, lev
them upon q floor like pair Of open
conpasses, 40 that the points shall be ex-
actly five feet ard six inches apart; now
mil tho other two ends together and 8
piece across the middle, so that It will
look like the letter a, and the measure is
flnishea. 20 measure land, place one
point at tho starting place, and the other
also on!ths gtouhd In aet.aight line for
destnntinn :stand alonRside the machine
with one hand on top Of It.; take one
step forward, tip up the point that is be-
hind, swing it around (ffom you) on the
other point and Sos it in o line also. A
person In this manner can measure cor
Eectly as faas as he eau walk. Three
out stopping, count the spaces, divide
these by three, and you have the rods.

The trustees are very watchful lest

years ago they decided to introduce the
Bible for the use Of the pupils. not deem
ing such a step at variance with the will
of the founder.
We write this crude biographical
sketch at the suggestion of a little lady
at our elbow, who very recently has
become interested in all that related to
this singular man. We ask her il the
marble statue of Girard was fine look.
ing. "Not by any means" she replies
with shudder. "His head was fat
where yeneration should have been,
and his countannneeznneMGoa0faGFes -
possessing. He was life size, and-I
didn't see his white wall eye, because
the snowy marble favored the poor old
man."
Don't forget" she adds. "that his
latter generosity covered multitude OF
sins, and that his wealth was what
brought him up before a carping. criti-
cal, scrutinizing public, always ready
TO detect flaws"
1t is gratifying to know that the pres
ent President OF that noble and humane
institution is the President OF the Amer
ican Bible Society, an Ii. d., and a
man OF unblemished Christian charac-
ter.
A very homely man once stepped up
to Girard and handed him huge oldjack-
knife, saying, That knife was gin to
me, stranger, for being the humliest
man at anybody ever seed. but gor a
nifty! take 1t an may peace 60 with
ye!"
The donor was glad to get away with
out any broken bones. Girard swore
and spu.tered in villainous English the
wrath that boiled over Indignantly.
Ministers OF the gospel are not even
allowed to visit this institution-to step
their unhalowed feet over princely
sills of polished marble, and for this
reason the utmost watchfulness is pre-
served.

3Sik yesr d Henry YIN. tkere were
not any means OF knowing the number
of births, deaths and marriages in the
course of a year. In 1886 Thomas
Cromwell, Earl Of Essex, was Vicar
General Of England, and caused Regis
ters to be kept in every parish in the
kingdom. At that time the aid Of the
church was necessarily invoked for the
rite of christening, to which all sought
to be admitted, and for the rites of mar
rage and Christian burial. II. there
fore, note were made of every occas-
ion on which any of these rites We're
celebrated, there would be, it was con-
ceived, complete list of all births.
deaths, and marriages, that had taken
place. The parish register system was
obviously an improvement on the total
absence OF registers, afIording, as i. did,
the means Of tracing descent-of prov
ing all the important personal events of
a family-as well as source of infor-
nation to the government upon the
question of the number of its subjects.
But as time went on, it was found that
parish registers were not 10 be implicit
ly relied on; there were manv-Roman
Catholic and Protestant Disscnters-
who did not bring their children TO be
baptised in the State church, and though
they had to come thither for marriages.
they did not seek its aid on occasion OF
funeral. Then the clergy were lax in
keeping their books, and the govern
ment was lax in calling for them: so
that, from a variety Of causes, the sys-
tenn devised by Thomas Cromwell failed
to secure the registration of more than
large section OF the people protesting
the State religion. So inefficient, in
deed, had the parish register scheme
become, by the beginning of the pres
ent reign, that it was found necessary
to leglslate airesh, and with regard to
the many new exigencies of the public
need. By several acts of Parliament,
known as the Births and Death Reg
istration Acts, 1886 to 1854" the reg
istration of births, deaths and marriages
is now regulated. By the las. of these
acts (the Births and Deaths Reg,~tra-
tion Act, 1870 it is made the duty of
the father and mother. and, in default
OF them, o! The occupier of the house in
which the birth takes place, and of each
person present thereat, and of the per-
son having charge of the child, to give
to the registrar within forty-two DAYS
next after birth information of p.rticu-
lars to be registered, and in the pres
ence Of the registrar to sign the regis
