Jones OF Oneida and Jasper OF vir-
gfnfa.

Men are often respected for the courage
with which they express their opinions,
even when the opinions themselves do not
command much respect. This was the case
with Brother Jasper, of Virginia, who holds
that the sun goes round the world every
day; and will it be denied to Assemblyman
Jones, OF Oneida, who holds that whiskey
is not intoxicating? Jasper relies on the
Bible and the evidence of his eyes; Jones
on tho evidence of his stomach and the par
able of the turkey. Jasper's Bible tells him
that the sun rises and his eyes convince him
that the world stands STILL Jones knows
that roast turkey is not ''gluttonous, while
man may make glutton of himself on
the flesh of the bird. Whiskey. therefore.
he holds, is not intoxicating. although he
admits q man may get drunk on it. AS for
himself, he takes rs much Of it rs comes in
his way, and yet he cannot get drunk. The
popular belief may be the other way. Your
meddling scientist has convinced mankind
that the sun stands while the earth re-
wolves. Your Father Mathews and your
Murphys are convincing people that whis-
key is fiddler. But Jasper goes back to
first principles. "Where was de sun dis
mornin' ?" he asks. 'Why, dat side O. my
house. Where is it now2 Why, dis side
O. my house darfur de sun must ha' got
roun' it, an it couldn't do dat standin'
STILL" Says Jones, ''Where was that quart
of whiskey this morning? Why. outside Of
me. Where is it now? Why. inside of me.
Am I drunksh? Not't'all. How could
that be if whiskey was intoxi-drunking 7"
We do not propose to pick critical holes in
these arguments. But in m age pulled up
with its science we wish to point out that
the victory over revelation and rum is not
quite assured while live and breathe such
sturdy champions of the standing still of
the world and the running still of whiskey.

Germany nnd the Pope.

1t is noted by people who watch events
in Rome that the new Pope is brushing
away to n very great extent the cobwebs
with which che Papal world became some
what overgrown in the time of his pred
ecessor. He seems TO have no respect for
venerable rubbish; and usages, Offices, ex-
penses and quarrels which have no other
excuse for existence than that they
were countenanced and continued by the
infalliblo prelate who lived long enough
to dote are oil swept away with ruthless
hand. This course seems very likely to be
followed in the case of the quarrel with
Germany. Not even the promulgation of
the dogma of infallibility was greater
blunder than the quarrel with the great
man who ruled in the new empire
Such quarrel was never justified
but once in the history of the Church,
and that was when Rome was strong,
her enemy helpless and human
reason buried in the moral miro of the Mid
die Ages. To repeat such quarrel in this
age, with Rome at tho mercy of every
breeze, and her enemy the one absolutely
resistless Power in Europe. was piece OF

Tha Mexican News.

In the news from Mexico there is, it will
be observed, q remarkable silence on an inn
portant point. There is no account Of any
revolution. The absence OF an account of o
recent revolution from any pretended news
from Mexico might ordinarily be deemed q
sufficient ground for suspecting the genuine
ness Of the news but this news is genuine
nevertheless 1t will be remembered by the
constant reader that it has now been the case
ior some mon tbs that the Mexican news has
been without this evidence that the Mexican
people were in their customary health and
spirits. This disappearance from Mexican
chronicles Of their liveliest item dates
from about the time when Diaz became
the supreme ruler of the country, and
evidently one fact is related to the other.
Diaz makes stupidity and calls it peace.
He wants the outside world to recognize
him as the ruler Of his countrymen because
he prevents them from indulging in those
airy antics that have hitherto made them an
inexhaustible source Of entertainment to
everybody. 1t is great mistake to allege
as reason for doing anything the precise
reason why we ought not to do it. Diaz is
q dull nuisance. He does not amuse us
himself and will not let the other Mexicans
amuse us. He seems to pretend that
Mexican history. ought to be part of
the sober political story of nations.
Now, the true purpose of Mexican history
is to indicate the absurd side of all history.
1t has been parody and should be o
parody to the end, and to attempt to give
it any other character is like singing "Jim
Grow" to music from Norma" But
though there is no revolution in this last
news there is something almost as lively
there is general advance all along the
lines on the United States Minister. We
have no doubt he deserves it, though we
cannot say what he has done. We sin
cerely hope the Mexicans will make it hot
for him and lively fol. everybody. This
dulness in the Mexican news is intolerable.

THE WEATnER.--With the exception of the
Northwestern region all the districts Of the
United States east of the Rocky Mountains have
q low barometer. The centre of lowest pressure is
moving ENTHUSIASTICALLY over the Lower Missouri
and Central Mississippi valleys, and the axis
OF the barometric trough lies from south
west to northeast from Texas to Upper
Canada. Rains have fallen west Of tho
Allegheny range and in the northern
part Of the Middle and New England States,
as we'll rs on the Gulf coast. Snow fell ut few
places in the West and Northeast during the
early hours Of yesterday, when the tenn
pcraturc was lowest. Beyond the Missis-
dppi River the temperature has fallen
somewhat, with gradually clearing weather
and brisk to very high northerly winds In the
upper lake region the temperature is low, but
has risen. The winds circulate around the
centre Of disturbance in the Mississippi
Valley, those to the eastward of the centre

CoNcREss.-The unusual spectacle was pre-
scnted in the House yesterday of members on
both sides voting against their party in con
tested election case. In the Massachusetts con-
test Of Field versus Dcane General Butler voted
against the republican contestant, Mr.. Field,
while several democrats voted for his admis-
sion. At the close of the roll call it was found
that Mr.. Field had majority of one, but the
Speaker tied the vote and defeated him. The
passage of bill to prevent the introduction of
contagious diseases and of the Consular and
Diplomatic bill formed the only other important
business Of the session.

Your argument, in the main, seems TO be

although it would be perversiof, OF the

themselves are concerned.
But, while limiting at the possibility
that this suffering may be perpetuated

can readily conceive that while the
mere act of baptism effects no immediate
change whatever upon the infant, either
physical, intellectual, moral or spiritual,
the ceremonial attending it, consisting OF
scripture reading, prayers, exhortstion,

upon the minds of parents, imposing on

When parents bring their children to
baptism, they consecrste them to Christ,

The Week OF Prayer.

Correspondence OF the Daily Register.
The idea OF approprlating the first full
week in the year to prayer Tor specified
objects was conceived by some mission
aries. The evangelical alliance embraced
it, and it has become almost universal
But while many pray, the great masses
show little concern. The play goes
merrily on. They marry and arc given
in marriage. What Thompson calls "the
gay licentious crowd" think but little OF
those who suffer or those VINO pray.
Among The topics suggested for
Wednesday evening was for "Fsmllies, "
aud some of the remarks and petitions l
heard are worthy OF q wider circulation,
than the assemblsge in which they were
uttered, and l offer what l remember
of them to your many readers
The Importance OF the subject cannot
be measured. These varied homes are
the springs from whence flow the streams
that gladden. or sadden society, and our
Savior directs us to purify the fountain,
that there may be corresponding issues.
Home, whether grand or humble,
should be, to its inmates, the dearest spot
on earth. But i'll managed affairs here
have driven many INTO the streets and
tsverns Tor that required compsnlonship
which WAS denied at home. Many sor-
rowing wife and mother might trace their
grief TO some mistakes made in earlier
arrangements OF domestic comforts by
themselves.
No matter how much man is tossed on
the rough waves of fortune, or rougheT
speculstions of unbellet, memory will
ever retain impressions OF the consistent
family altar, where plous parents wor-
shipped, and sought Gods blessing on
their otispring-where impiety, even,
will uncover It's head and reverence the
act. But our homes sre rot churches;
they are consecrsted to our entire good.
BODILY labor requires some relieving
pleasure, else the lsborer becomes a mere
machine and his soul is bruitlhed. Our
homes demand intelligent energies, and
merit all they demand. Whatever ele-
Yates these raises all. Then pray and
work for them. HERMoN.
