sideration by all decent men is cheerfully
given to her. If all boarders we're decent

is. Instead Of being the most crafty, she is
usually the most guileless of women. There

not been made the victim of swindlers of all

pay his board, and whom she is too compass

swindler who engages board for the purpose of
robbing the house. 1t is high time that these
hard.working and long-sufering women
should receive the commiseretion and respect
to which they are entitled, instead of the
sneers and suspicious they oftener encounter.

more than bare subsistence, and it is inhu-

WHO WAS GAINS WIFE?

The Rev. G. P. McCarty, who breaches
every Sunday in the University Building,
Washington Square, New York, as Pastor Of
what is called the American Free Church,
endeavored to answer the question Of "who
was Gains wifef" Sunday evening February
1S. He took his text from the fourth chap
ter of Genesis, and the seventeenth verse.
The preacher said that he had selected the
peculiar subject announced at the request of
several members of bis congregation. Main.
tanning that the old theories as to the mean
ing of the Bible stories had ceased to be ten
able because of the increased light Of science,
he said that the theory held by many as to
Gains wife would also have to be abandoned.
"The orthodox answer to the question" said
he, "is perhaps Cain married his sister.
Well, 1 don't think he did. Now, l am not
going to shirk the answering of this question.
l have theory of our race which others do
not believe in. Nine out Of ten believe that
the human race came from one pair. I don't
believe it. Do you say that is heretical ?
Perhaps it is, but this is not question to be
answered by those who cling to the old theo-
ries. That old theory can never answer it.
In the first place, Cain could not have mar.
ried his sister when departed to the land of
Nod, because he had no sister. When Seth
was born, Adam was only one hundred and
thirty years old, very young man for those
days, and Seth was his third child. There is
no mention of daughters. In the second
place, Cain departed to country where there
were people, and he feared these people would
say him because of his crime, and the Lord
recognized the reality of this danger and set
a mark on him that he might be saved. The
Bible nowhere states that there were only
two people originally created. Adam was
the generic name for human race, and male
and female created he them. Do you believe
that negroes and Chinese are the descendants
of the same progenitors with ourselves? l
don't. Cain went over to the land of Nod,
and there became the chief of race which
he found there He built a city. He could
not have done this alone. This, then, must
be my answer to the question there were
races of people upon the earth at the time
Cain was driven out vagabond, and from
this race Cain took bis wife"

A GAME AT DREAMING.

While Sir William johnson was superin-
tendent of Indian affairs in the Mohawk VAL
ley, in 1855, one of his staunchest friends was
the old Mohawk sachem, Hendrick. Sir
William had great confidence in the old
chiefs judgment. and seldom made move
against the hostile Indians and French with
out consulting him. "If they are to fight,
they are too few; if they are to be killed,
they are too many" was his laconic response
to Johnson's question touching the propriety
of sending out small body of men which he
had organized against an expected invasion.
On certain occasion, Sir William was un-
packing large box of clothing which he had
Just received from England. Hendrick
chanced to be present, and was particularly
attracted by richly embroidered coat which
he saw brought forth and shaken out in all
its glittering splendor of gold lace and gilded
buttons and bright silk facing. The old In.
dian's eyes sparkled, and he could scarcely
keep his hands from the coveted prize. But
he held back. and held his peace for the time.
On the following morning, however, the
chieftain waited upon the Governor for a pur-
pose, as was evident from the intensity Of bis
look.
"Sir William" said be, with wide-open eyes,
and a general expression of wonder, "me have
a great dream last night. Me dream that
you say to me, Good Hendrick, you have been
my friend, and now I will reward you. And
you gave me the new coat, with the bright
gold on it, that came in the box"
The baronet reflected few moments, and
finally said:
"It is true, Hendrick, you have been my
friend. The coat is yours"
The chief went away fairly beside himself
with delight.
A few days after that Sir William said to
his dusky ally:
"Hendrick, had dream last night"
"Ah! and what did my white brother
dream p =
81 dreamed that you took me by the hand,
and said to me, "Sir William johnson, you
have been my true friend, and I will give you
proof of my great love for you. And you
gave to me the tract of land on the great riv-
er and Canada creek" describing square
territory embracing nearly one hundred thous-
and acres of choice land.
The old chieftain was for little time ut
terly confounded. This was the fairest of bis
domain. But be was not to be outdone in
generosity.
"My pale.faced brother" he at length said,
"the land is yours"
And after pause he added, with a signif-
cant nod:
"Sir William, We won't dream any more.
You dream too big for me-"
The title of the land was confirmed to Sir
William by the British government, and
called the Royal grant. The land was north
of the Mohawk, and lay mostly in what is
now Herkimer county.

SULPHUR FOR SCARLET FEvER-Dr. Hen

follows: "The marvellous success which has

able to apply the same remedy without de-

sulphur was burned twice daily (on Goals on

and, of course, was thoroughly inhaled BY
the patient. Under this mode of treatment

Having had large experience in scarlet fe-
yer last year and this, I feel some confidence
in my own judgment, and am of the opin.
ion that the very mildest cases ever saw do
not do half so we'll as bad cases do by the
sulphur treatment, and, as far as can judge,
sulphur is as near specific for scarlet fever

A DEFENSE OF BoARD1Ne-HoUsE MIS-

it, can have any other feeling than compassion
for the ordinary keeper Of private boarding
house. She has been the prey of small sati-
rists since boarding g-houses and small satirists
were. 1t has been customary to represent her
as willing and skillful adullerator of victuals
and drink, skinAint and sharper. In point
of fact, she is generally an intelligent and
sensitive woman, who has chosen this mode Of
earning living partly because it is the only
one for which her habits of life have at all
fitted her, and partly because she has fancied
that it would do less violence to her seusbili'
ties than any other business open to her. The
boarding house keeper is commonly widow,

-'e.r FORK Sua, Feb. u.
The Methodist ministers had an exciting
meeting yesterday. One OF the most important
Of its features was the formal exclusion Of news
paper reporters. 4 week ago yesterday the
Rev. Dr.. Crawford, in view Of the fact that some
Of the ministers speecVes arc sometimes gro-
tcSQue, offered resolution to exclude reporters
One brother said that at these meetings " cx-
pressions were made use OF BY thoughtless
preachers which, instead of being an honor to
the Lord, We're positive disgrace to the Chris
tian rellsisa." It WAS decided that the question
Ut TIE prop-cty vi shutting out the Representa-
tiyes OF the newspapers should bc passed upon
t'y committee OF nine. The committee report
ed yesterday that the meetings should hereafter
lie composed cntlreiy OF ministers. Tbereat the
rev. DR.. True politely siSniacd to the reporters
tiiat it wa: the sense Ut the meeting tnat the
press should not te represented, and the report
crs retired in good order. Their retirement was
cicrgy,len. There was still Philistinc III the
camp in the persou Of 4 gentleman WHO is both
clergyman aud reporter, anu who stood upon
his Fight to remain. He was at length excluded
It was feared that there might be still other
Philistines in the camp, and to make sure that
the meeting should be composed entirely Of
clerCymen, it was proposed that all the ministers
should go.into the antc-ro0m. and march in sin
gle file oack into the meeting-room, while the
Rev. Dr. Crawford stood at the door and admit
ted none but clergymen.
After the clergylnen had all entered, the Rev.
Dr.. Crawford tried TO lock the door, hut the key
