Real estate dealers at st. Louis think
they can detect at last "Quickcning OF

make contracts for new buildings, and
sales of property that are now making

are coming from other Western cities.

\ supposed Ashtabula victim. man

had seen Weber take the fated train at
Buffalo. and the discovery Of certain ar
ticlcs believed to belong to him among
the ashes Of the burned cal, at Ashta-

destruction, and the railroad company
offered to compromise suit for 5000
damages by paying $4,000, Mrs. web

The railroad company is the gamer but

report statement prepared by
me to show what the probable re

be it extended tor twelve months up
gu the basis Of the reports received.
This amount will be S24l, lll,27. 1t
will be observed that the reports are
IN from twelve cities and from thirty
three counties, and bu! partially from
some of the largest OF these counties
There are ninety nine counties IN
the State, from sixty,six OF which
there have been no returns. In many
OF them The registers have not been
put up, and of course are not in opera
ton and can show nothing.
Taking the S241, ll1,27 as the la
sis of calculatlou,I think we may safe
ly estimate that the s:xty-six counties
not reported, together with those
which have only reported in part,
would yield a revenue OF $4,000

ted in former reports. From the re-
suits as shown in the foregoing state
mainly conjectural, it is true
Il have every confidence that the
law, with some amendments, and iars
ly carried out, will yield to the State
an annual revenue of at least $780,

WHAT CmIs11AN1rY MAY YET ACCOMPLISH.
Christianity has only begun its conquests
with the poorer classes of civilized countries
II will yet orguui2a its forces so as to reach all
the outcast, ignorant and destitute persons
who form the great army of unfortunates in
every Christian country. II will found and
establish Industrial Schools Reading Rooms.
Lodging Houses Model Tenements. and Chap
els for the poor-all guided not merely by re-
ligious impulse, but by the great principles of
political economy and will produce such ef-
fects with these and similar iustrumentalities
that the great tide Of vice and misery in civ
ilized lands will be ARRESTED and turned back.
We have not at all seen yetthe in the worlds
history what can be accomplished by Chris
tianity supported by science Il is not at all
incredible that even in this century, prosti-
tuition may be diminished by combined ef-
fort in civilized countries. rs much as intem-
pcrancc has been, and that the great evil of
organized pauperisn may receive as heavy
blow as that Of organized slavery has done in
this generation. The world, since the time of
Christ. has seen certain habitual unnatural
vices completely pass away from civilized so
ciety. under The influence of the teachings of
Christ, until they are scarcely known even by
name. Why, in another two thousand years.
may i not see the more open evils of Pauper-
ism, Prostitution. IutoIperance and Slavery
completely disappear: Or if this be too
short period tu expect 50 great changes
Tor great is the leisure Of htaven"-we may
still look forward at the close of yet other cen
turics to n more complete Christian social re-
form. and be assured that the prayer of ages
will. at length, be answered, and tho will of
God be- done on earth us it is in heaven. ~

A Coon DEkL DEPENDS on THE WOMAN
Mr. Marooney is foreman in foundry and
gets thirty dollars a week. With this salary
the family ought to get along well and save
money, but they do not. Mr.. Marooney has
n cousin, a shoemaker, who gets fifteen dol
lars a week, yet sails right along in lightning
express style, while Marooney comes tagging
along in a freight with hot box. "How do
You manage it, Jack z" he would frequently
ask, ''to get along the way you do : Here
you actually keep your family and save mon
ey on fifteen dollars n week, while it takes cv-
cry cent | make to live, and ! get double the
pay" "Oh, don't manage it Mt all, says
Jack, Il just take my money home to the old
woman on Saturday night and she takes her
five dollars to run the house with and puts
the rest away" DO you give her ali the
money!" asks Mr.. 8Iarooney, musngly.
oh no, not quite; l keep out a trife to
keep me from being lonesome. If l kept il
all in my pocket would spend it sure, but
Mary keeps it tight and safe" Mr.. Marco
ney talked it over with his wife that night.
and they concluded to try Jacks plan The
following Saturday night he brought bis $50,
and keeping back one, put the rest in her
care, and she promised to do her level best TO
set the table on five. The first week she
squeezed through somehow, and got along
with six and half Mr.. Marooney was quite
pleased, and began lying awake at night
thinking what kind Of house lie would build.
lie thought plain rustic cottage with bay
window would be about right. The next
week her expense account only footed up five
dollars and eighty cents, and Marooney
changed his designs for future residence
from frame to brick The next week she
brought it down thirty cents more and he ad-
ded q wing with a wash-house. Then she
made a superhuman effort quit buying milk,
and came within two shillings of the goal for
which she had been striving. Mr.. Marooney
decided on an iron fence in front of his prem
ises. The next week she lost ground, slip
ped and came out at the dollar post Mr..
Marooney thought neat paling fence was
good enough for anybody, but when the en-
suing week she came in with flying coors and
struck the five dollar mark in both eyes, Mr.
Marooney had the iron railing reinstated and
granite steps running up to the door. The
next week she took the money she had saved
and bought her a love of hat too cute for
anything black silk dress and cherub Of a
cloak, that made the woman next door cry
with envy till her nose got sore, and Mr.. Ma
rooney came to the conclusion that it didn't
pay to live in ones own property, keeping up
repairs, insurance, etc, and the earthquakes
more than countcrhalanced any ,rihing ad-
yantnges there might be-

True hospitality is a thing that touches The
heart and never goes beyond the circle of
generous impulses Entertainment with the
truly hospitabc man means more than the
mere feeding of the body it means an inter
change Of soul gifts Still it should have its
laws as all things good must have laws to gov
ern them.
The obligation to be hosptable is a sacred
one, emphasized by every moral code known
to the world, and practical outcome Of the
second great commandment
There should never be guest in the house
whose presence requires any considerable
change in the domestic economy
Howeyep much the circumstances of bust
ness or mutual interests may demand in en-
tertaning a stranger, he should never be TAX
On into the family circle unless lac is known
to be wholly worthy of n place in that saRc-
tlm sdHctOrUm Of social life but when once
IL man is admitted to the home firesde lac
should be treated as if the place had been his
always.
The fact of an invitation gives neither host
or guest the right to be master of the others
time, and docs not require even temporary
sacrifice of ones entire individuality or pur-
suits.

when he cntc crtains n friend.

cial robbery.
To abide unlimited in friends home is as
much a misdemcanor as borrowing his coat
without his permission. 1t is debasing the
coin Of friendship to mere dross when man
attempts to make it pay his hotel bills.
The fact of two men having the same occu-
patton and interests in life gives to neither a
social right to the others bed and board. A
travelling minister has no more right to 60 un-
invited to fellow preachers house than
travelling shopkeeper or shoemaker has to 90
unlimited 10 the house of his fellow craftsman.
Men ARE ordained to the ministry as preach
ers, teachers and pastors. and not AS private
