enre. 1t is nowoRder that England hesi-
tates, and postpones till spring her march
against country SO fortified by nature
7 and defended by such people.
But, behind Afghan on the north
stands the Russian power bordering di-
rectly on her frontiers. The neutral
ity" that England observed as between
Russia and Turkey, Russia would now
observe as between England and Afghan,
Il, e. tie neutrality of defending the
weaker power in behalf of Russian
Interests. Persia, too, On the West, is
grumbling at this British advance upon
her eastern frontiers. The "Hill Tribes"
on the East, 9111GGaFying the mountainous
regions toward Kashgar, are all inimical
to this British advance beyond the Pun
jaub. So that, with all these menacing
circumstances attending, this Afghan war
which England has herself invoked as a
balm to her wounded pride, is quite
enough to cause the British people to
question that Imperial policy" that is
adding so much to her other troubles.
And yet, in the midst of her misfor-
tunes, England has the audacity to warn
our Government against permitting the
sale of steamships by our private citizens
to the Russian Government. If England
and Russia were actually at war, this re-
quirement might be proper for England
to make, But to make such demand in
time of peace, is to assume control over
our private affairs that sayors more of
audaeity than of wisdom That a war
between England and Russia is probable
at some time in the future, does not in
any manner confer upon England the
right to make such demand at our
hands at the present. She may direct
her own policy in view of such a contin-
gency, but she can not be permitted to
direct ours. Even her own citizens, be-
fore state of war exists, may sell ships
to Russia, or to any other power; and
surely our people can not be hindered by
England's demands from exercising
the same privilege. Should England in
sist upon this, it may be set down as GER
tain that her troubles will not be dimin-
ished,

TIE FIRST GREAT TRIPLE ON MAN
HAITIAN ISLAND.

There was tradition a hundred years
ago among some of the neighboring
tribes, that an old chief said had been
handed down from generation to genera
ton in which it was stated that when
the Indians here first saw the ship,
which seemed huge white thing
moving up, they thought it was some
monstrous fish, but finally concluded it
to be the canoe of the great Manitou Wis
iting his children. Runners were inn
mediately sert to the neighborins tribes
who Hocked to the place Of rendezvous.
Sacrifices were prepared, and a grand
dance ordered for his reception. Hdd-
son, dressed in scarlet, and attended by
portion of his crew, came ashore, and
the chiefs, grave and respectful, gathered
in a semi-circle around him. Hudson, to
show his friendly feelings, poured out a
glass of brandy, and tasting it himself,
handed it to the nearest chief. He
gravely smelled of it, and handed it to
the next one, who did the same and
passed it on. In this way it went tde
entire circle without being tasted. At
last young brave declared it was an in
suit to the great Manitou not to drink
after he had shown them an example,
and if no one else would drink 1t he
would, let the consequences be what
they might. So, bidding them all a
| solemn farewell, he drained the goblet
at draught. The chiefs watched him
with anxiety, wondering what the effect
would be. The young brave very soon
began to stagger, till at length, overcome
by the heavy dose, he sunk on the
ground in drunken stupor. The chiefs
looked on at first in still terror, and then
a low, wild death wall rose on the air.
But after q while the apparently dead
man began to rally, and at length jump
ing on his feet, capered ronnd in the
most excited, grotesque manner, declar-
ing he never felt SO happy in his life, and
asked for more liquor. The other chiefs
no longer hesitated, and following his
example, the first great tipple on New
York Island took place, ending in scene
Of beastly intoxication.
From that time OH, the name Of the
island in the Delaware language signi-
fed "the place of the big drunk
Many people think it would be good
name for it now, or at least portions OF
it, not only where the "sachems' do con-
gregate, but other places.-Haper's

Measure the BABY.


We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
Ally grew at the threshold
And the boy was Just as tall;
Aroyal tiger-lily,
With spots Of purple and gold.
And heart like jewelled chalice
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbirds whistle
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees, .-t
And the wee pink fists of the baby
We're never moment still
Snatching at shine Snd shadow
That danced on the window sill.
Bis eyes were wide as blue bells,
His mouth like flower unblown--
Tive little bare feet like funny white mice,
peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill ofrapture,
That yet had touch ofpain,
When June,rolls round with her roses,
Wen measure the boy again.
All mel in darhened chamber,
With thesunshine shut away;
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured our baby to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dimpfed,
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In the hush Of long reposc.
Up from the dainty pillow, -
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light OF heaven thereon; -.
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from the rose, lay still.
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill 90
We measured the sleeping baby, .'..
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out ofthe darkened charnb
We went with childless moan
70 the height Of the sinless angels
Our little one has grown.
