A Sermon.

Rev. Mr.. Stubs preached stirring
sermon to his Methodist brethren last
Sunday evening. He spoke in the
most emphatic terms against the lack
of personal sacrifice and self devotion
of church members Cited the case
of the three boys in Jail, and ar
raigned the christian community for
its negligence in regard to these and
other children who are running to the
bad in Vancouver, because of the great
lack of that kind and persistent inter-
est in their behalf, which all true Chris
tians should manifest. His words are
deserving of consideration. The over
weening selfishness of mankind is
fastening the ruin of many young men
and women. Too many of those peo-
pie, who can and should both speak
and act for truth and virtue among the
young, are too busy making money to
give this subject the attention its i'm
portance demands. Let no man object
to the methods which Mr. Stubs, and
others like him would adopt to reform
deplorable conditions of society, unless
he is able to propose and willing to fol-
low a good, wholesome plan of his own
There is great need that the moral armo-
ny should be ransacked for weapons and
ammunition, and that general forward
movement should be made against the
cohorts of hoodlumism

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALs.-Five boys
were arrestedlast Saturday charged with
oh ,tructing the sidewalk with a rope in
violation of City Ordinance. They
were tried before Justice Gridley, and
the evidence adduced convicted three of
the boys of the ofense charged, and also
of depradations committed to annoy
the writing school at the public school
house. The Justice gave the boys a
sound reprimand, but did not dismiss
them, as is usual in such cases; he fined
them $50 each in lieu of which they
could go to Jail for five days. The
money, as the justice expected, was not
forthcoming and the boys were escorted
to the calaboose These boys are
among the most notorious hoodlums of
town, and Justice Gridley has the
thanks of the people for his decisive ac-
ton in the matter. The resources of
moral suasion have been pretty much
exhausted with them, and the time for
punishment had fully arrived.

Examination of School Teachers.

The following is an extract from the
last annual report of Mr.. j. j. Browne,
School Superintendent of Multnomah
County. 1t contains several valuable
hints on the examination of teachers
which deserve the consideration of
teachers and others interested in the
schools of Clarke County:
Since I become Superintendent of
this county, less than a year ago, there
have been l03 applicants for teachers
certificates examined. Certificates have
been granted to those deemed worthy
to receive them as follows: first grade,
90; second grade, 81; rejected 26.
In order to elevate the standard Of
teachers, l have discontinued the per-
nicious system of renewing certificates,
but require each teacher, when his GER
tifcate has expired by lapse of time, as
well as new applicants, to go through
the ordeal of an examination. Some
little dissatisfaction has been expressed
at this course, and because the standard
has been placed too high. Of course
objections to thorough examinations
come only from those who are not
really qualified to teach. And the fire.
quency of the examinations depends
wholly upon the ability and qualifca-
tions of the applicants. To obtain
certificate good for two years, it is only
necessary to answer correctly eighty
per cent of all questions asked: To OBJ
tain a certificate good for six months,
sixty per cent. And the examination
embraces only the common English
branches, and confined almost if not
entirely to general principles, while
State certificates, good for six years,
and life diplomas, during the life of the
holder, may be issued by the State
Board where the applicant possesses the
required qualifications. And the rules
and regulations prescribed by the State
Board for the issuing of certificates,
both county and State, and also diplo-
mas, are so liberal that no teacher
ought to complain if they are strictly
enforced; and if the law and the
rules, ETC., were rigidly enforced by the
superintendent throughout the State,
the scholarship and efficiency of the
teachers would be greatly improved, the
poorly qualified would either advance
to higher attainments, or give place to
more worthy successors, and the cause
of education itself would receive new
impetus. Those teachers who are wor-
thy of their high calling will encourage
any movement that has been or will be
inaugurated to elevate the standard of
their profession, and the patrons of the
public schools, at least in this
county, are loudly calling for we'll
qualified teachers. A teacher recently
made application in one of our country
schools. The directors were well pleased
with his general appearance, and in
formed him that they desired teacher,
and if he could obtain a first class GER
tificate they were willing to pay him
$50 per month, but if he could not OBJ
tain such certificate they did not want
him at any price. A number of SINH
lar incidents have come under my obser-
walton. The people are becoming alive
to their true interests in this matter.

The latest dispatches from Western
Turkey state that the Montenegrins have
resumed operations against Turkey, ana
have captured village and invested a
fortress in Duga pass. They have been
supplying the Miridites with arms and
ammunition, and encouraging them to
hold out against the Turks. and the most
that the soldiers of the Porte have been
able to do in Albania has been to burn
few novels. The Montenegrins, since
the aTn1istice was concluded late in 1876,
have been recognizing their army, and
undoubtedly will renew hostilities with
earnestness and vigor as soon as the
Russians cross the Danube. During the
war, from July to October, 1876, Monte
negro brought into action about $1,000
men, and the Turkish forces directed
against them numbered 100000 Mukh-
tar Pasha, who is at present command
ing the Turkish forces in Armenia, was
unable to cope with these hardy nottn-
taineers In the first battle with them
he lost 1000 men, and Osman Pasha,
who is now in command of the Turkish
camp at Widin, was taken prisoner.
On Oct. his army of $4,000 men was
defeated by force of 5000 Harmed
mountaineers. The northern Turkish
army during these operations was re-
duced from 30, 900 to 49, 600 men. Dur
ing the same campaign, the southern
Turkish army was repeatedly defeated,
and it's strength was cut down from As
600 to $4,000 men. Goptchevitch, the
best-informed writer on this campaign,
who is quoted by Mr.. Gladstone in a re-
cent article in the Nineteenth Century,
reckons the slain on the Turkish side at
$4,000; on the Montenegrin side at
1000. These figures seem almost in
credible, but, as Mr. Gladstone shows in
his eloquent recital of the exploits of
these heroic mountaineers, they are In
close conformity with the general, the
nearly unbroken, tenor of series of
wars reaching over four centuries. Dur
ing their last campaign against the
Turks. the Montenegrins captured 1,50O
horses and II, 600 breech-loaders. They
will have improved arms and a cavalry
service when they take the field against
their old foes.-Ne,O York Tribune.

The assumed name of MacAlpin brings
us to the whole order of Macs, now
spread out in all directions. Mac is the
Gaelic equivalent for son, and; accord
ingly, Mr.. MacAlpin would in an English
dress be Mr.. Alpinson. There happen
to be two distinct classes of Macs, those
with Highland origin, such as Mackay,
Macpherson, Matgfego+, Macheil, Mac
farlane, Macleod and Macdonald-all
great clans in the olden time and the
Macs Of Galloway, where Gaelic is now
extinct and the races are somewhat diff
ferent from the Highland septs-per-
haps with little Manx and Irish blood
in them. Among the Galloway Macs are
found the names Maclumpha, Macletchie
and MacCandfish, which evidently do not
sound with the true Highland ring
The Irish have likewise their form of
expression fof sol. They use the single
letter o, as O'Connel1 and O'Dot1neli.
The O, however, signifies grandson, as
it continues to do in the old Lowland
vernaclllar in Scotland, where an aged
woman in humble life may be heard say
ing of her grandchild, ''That is my o. %
Prefxes OF terihinatiohB fof son are cofii-
mon among names in every civilized
country in Europe. AS is well known,
the Norman conquest gave a new char
acter to English names. From that time
many of The taoet notable Of e,,r s'tr-
names are to be dated, not only in En-
gland, where the conquest made itself
cruelty felt, but in Scotland, where fam
lilies of Norman origin gradually effected
a settlement by invitation and otherwise.
Names traceable to the Norman families
are very commonly derived from, hetitas
BILE possessions, and till this day bear a
certain aristocratic air, though altered in
various ways. On the original names
borne by noted families in England and
Scotland time has effected conspicuous
changes. The prefix "de," which was
once held in high esteem, has been gen
orally dropped.
