Reform by Assassination. "
[London Mayfair.]

Some strange kind Of divinity, after all
does seem to hedge king and shield
him from the danger and the bullet.
Over fifty attempts on the lives Of rulers
and royal personages have been recorded
during the last thirty years, and Of these
very few have succeeded. From an ex
animation, however, of the statistics of
assassination the curious conclusion is
drawn that the republican element seems
as much to arouse the assassin's fury as
the monarchicaE Within the last thir
teen years the Presidents of the United
States, of Peru, of Bolivia, Of Ecuador,
and of Paraguay have fallen by the W
erring dagger or the bullet; yet the
crowned heads of Europe have nearly all
run the gauntlet Of fire. Assassination is
one Of the inevitable peri's which strew
the paths Of princes. Not to mention
minor instances, our own Queen has been
shot at again and again the Emperor Of
Austria has been twice openly attacked
the Gar has been thrice in imminent
danger Of his life; lha @ 'een Of Greece
has been scorched with powder. and the
Queen of Spain had to thank the thick
ness of her stays for breaking the thrust
of a sti|etto; King ferdinand Of Naples
was stabbed, and King Victor Emmanuel
in his graver moments admitted he had to
thank the Almighty for his providentiaI
escape from sudden death Napoleon Ill
was so frequently assailed by cut throats
that he never stirred abroad without
circling Gordon of out'iders and private
police to protect his person from daggers,
bullets and Orsini bombs; the Emperor
Of Germany has been so frequently und er
fire that he has now come to regard the
report Of a pistol close to his ear as an
incident Of his daily life.
As for. Prince Bismarck. he would pro
baby never have lived to achieve the
nnifcation of Germany had he not, in
1866, on Unter den Linden, grasped
julius Cohen by the throat and wrested
from him a smoking revolver.

Monseigneur Capel, whose portrait is

Monseigneur Catesby. has Catholic dog,
to whom Charles Warren S,oldard was
recently introduced at Cedar Villa, the
former home Of Mr.. So,hern. When the
San Francisco traveller was formally pres

the visitor with short, low bark "Bep

A huge bite Of cake was placed under the
nose Of the dog, who refused even to look
at it. Being urged to eat it, he turned
away and ret1eated in the deepest disgust.
"The Pope sends it," cried B.ppos mas

when the cake disappeared in flash.

Kind and True.

The New York Evening Post says:
The fact is that with all the uhstinted
lberality which has been and is pouring
out money like water, there is still Ia
mentable suffering for want Of money in
all the yellow fever cities. The distress is
not merely that Of persons with the fever
in their houses. The class to be relieved
includes not only the poor, as we ordna-
rily use that word, but everybody who is
dependent for support upon earnings Of
any sort, because all business is at an end
in the stricken cities and all earnings are
stopped. Men who in ordinary circum
stances are accounted thrifty and we'll to-
do-lawyers. clerks, salesmep, shopkeep-
ers--are left without resource, with the
means Of livelihood cut off, and al these
men with their families are in state Of
destitution to which such men in ordiua
~ circumstances never come. Into the
ranks Of the poor are thus thrust tens of
thousands Of persons who are not thought
Of commonly, even as possible subjects of
charity. The need is overwhelming, the
helpessness appalling, and in the ordna
~ course OF nature the cause of ali this
suffering must continue its activity for
five or six weeks yet at the least. Every
dollar that pity can spare is sorey needed,
and literally as good people have every
where given to the cause, they must give
more literally yet, else all the horrors of
famine will be added to those Of pesti
lence.

How M1ss SADIE MADE THE MEN
ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES An interest
ing incident occurred at the late fire of
the Putt in Bay House. While Mr.. West
was endeayoring to form bucket line to
the lake, and, on account of the great
excitement, was meeting with poor sue
cess, beautiful young lady, neatly and
elegantly dressed for the ball which was
to have come off at the Putin Bay House
that evening. placed herself in the line
down near the lake, where it seemed diff
fenl, to get men, and soon filled that
end Of :he line up by her eloquent appeals
to the bystanders to come and join her in
passing buckets Of water. Mr.. Richmond,
son of the owner Of the Museum, noticed
her: Madame, you will catch your death
cold working this way in the water"
She replied: 4 wish to set these men,
who are standing around doing nothing,
An example, / cannot see such elegant
property burned without doing all | can
to prevent it," Aud she kept working on,
passing buckets as quickly and steadily
as any one, looking ike an angel of light
dressed iii her beautiful party array, her
diamonds glisteniug in the light from the
burning hotel. Her name, AS Mr. r ch-
mond had it on his shirt cuff, is Miss

CRUELTY IN YoUNG CnlLDREN.-Therc
is a strange vein of hard heartedness that
may often be noticed with young children,
and that requires care Of its early removal
Sometimes it appears with children who
are not by any means to be reckoned as
on the whole peculiarly depraved. They
are careless, unaccountably and shocking
ly, of one another's feeling. and do not
mind taunting one another with poverty
or shabbiness Of dress, or with respect to
the vices Or the misfortunes Of their par
ents or friends, or with regard to whatever
else that is disagreeable may come in their
way. Much Of this i'll behavior comes, no
doubt, Of inexperience and thoughtless
ness; but it is not all due to that. And
whatever the cause may be, the disposi
'ion IS one that should not be neglected
and suffered to strengthen itself Pains
ought to be taken when such actions are
observed. to cause the child to understand
the real hatefulness and wrongfulness Of
what he is doing. He should be put 10 a
way to see how the other child is aft cted
by ii; aud both his conscience and his
power Of sympathy should thus be called
into play. Children being but AS they
are, need guidance and help, sometimes
even the help Of \ wise severity, in such
matters. And the mischief is one that
t achers, as we'll as parents, may often
have opportunity to correct.-Congrega-

Owing to the pressing demands from
all parts OF the country for the i'm
mediate organization of the National
party, the executive committee of the
National party of the United States
has adopted the following means of
action, out OF which it is believed will
grow perfect and uniformed
organization of the party in the diff
ferent states.
Upon the application of ten or more
voters who have organized council

together with the names of the said

issue to Snch organization Al engraved
charter emblematic of the principles
and objects Of the National party. and
i constitution and directions for the
organization and government ofthe
council. Each application must be
accompanied by the sum OF one dollar.
This sum will cover the expense of
issuing the charter. and will secure to
each council the privilege ofohtaining

formation of young mems councils is
10 inspire the youths of the country

gle upon which the nation has now
entered. and 10 educate them in the
vital questions of political economy
and good government.

secure the organization of states now
unOrganiZed. From these local cOun-
ellis the organization of counties, cities
and states will be developed as the ne
cessities of each locality may demand.
The National committee will pub
fish promptly campaign song book,
and it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music, or should be set
to popular airs. The committee feel,
that this crisis should bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly, and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
ship, or in village, is often the key
to more important victories. The re-
cent gratifying successes of the Ma
tional party in local contests in New
York and Pennsylvania are encour-
aging to the workers in the cause
everywhere. These gains in the east
may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and jealous work.
The committee respectfully requests
that Greenback and Labor local Or
CARNATIONS now in existence apply for
charters as National councils that the
unification of interests secured with
such harmony and enthusiasm by the
Toledo convention may be utilized.
The national committee invites
communications from the executive
officers of all state organizations of
the National party, that there may
be cooperation and harmonious ac-
ton.
All communications should be adj
