THAT PRINCESS.

We may expect some new nunkey-
ism to be developed with the sojourn
of Princess LOUISE on this continent.
The Canadian people will learn the
social distinction between a Princess
and Marquis, and between every other
degree of nobility; and society will, to a
greater extent than hitherto, be divided
according to the etiquette OF the Eng
lish court. And as We are so near, ana
have so much intercourse with Canada,
we may expect that some OF our I'M
pressibles will be likewise influenced
by these distinctions, and try to initiate
them. 1t will be the pride OF many an
American society woman in little
while that she has met the Princess and
been shown distinction that has ele-
waited her above some one or more OF
the lower classes. 1t is the first time
that we have had a genuine Princess
resident in North America, and We
await with some curiosity the result OF
the elevation of her social throne on the
continent.

GOOD FAITH ON THE CAPITAL
QUESTION.

Some time ago we took occasion to re-
fer to the insinuations and charges
made by certain State papers upon the
attitude of the delegates from thiscoun-
ty.on the subject OF the location OF the
capital, as well as to refute the assertion
that there was disposition here to re
omen that question at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature. We then said,
as We say now:
"Our interests neither require nor
suggest it. The Capital is located here
for the next seven years, and 1t will re-
main here for that period OF time. we
are not going to send 1t away sooner,
nor have it taken from us Being IN
possession, we have no occasion to agl,
tate. We are on the defensive, and
want quiet"
The "hue and cry" was raised all over
n certain section OF the State that the
defeat OF Judge FERGUSON buried all
hopes of carrying out the provisions for
the removal OF the capital to Charleston,
but the evident meaning was, either that
there were disappointed hopes through
his defeat OF an immediate re.hoval, or
that the Ohio delegation would have no
worthy opposition in a plan to entirely
abroeate the provisions for removal at
any time.
Commenting on the position thus az
vanced by us the Wayne Adrocate very
Justly expresses the proper position upon
this question, and that which, We doubt
not, is held by the majority OF the people
throughout the State:
THE kernel in this nut, not 50 far as
the disappointment OF the Charltsto-
mans is concerned. lies in the fact that
it was expected that Judge Ferguson
could effect the passage Of some meas
ure looking to the immediate removal OF
the seat of government OF this State to
Charleston instead ofleavingit ut Wheel
ing until so, as it now stands. Whether
any such movement could be carried
lust now is a very open question, as that
would imply want OF keeping faith,
incompatible with sense of honor that
many would hesitate long before COM
hitting themselves to. In submitting
the matter to a vote of the people 1t was
part of the contract that the Capital
should remain ut Wheeling Tor the term
of ten years 1t is very natural that the
people of Charleston should desire the
permanent location i'll their city, at as
early day as possible, still, there is that
in this compact which requires good
faith to be kept all around il all parties
interested wish these chickering's to
cease and 90 out OF our State affairs for
ever. In this view OF il Charleston
can well afford to wait until the time
for the removal oi the seat Of govern
ment 10 her limit expires according to
the terms of the contract We hope no
effort will be made at the coming session
Of the legislature to reopen aqucstion
which most people ri the State regard
as settled permanently. All agitation
of the subject is sure to bury the pro-
motors OF it in obscurity, in so far as
public life is concerned, rs the tempter
of the people will not permit any fur
Their schemes in this behalf to carry to a
successful issue.

CHAs. w. ANGEL, cashier OF the Pull
man Palace Car Company at Chicago,
who decamped recently, leaving his
accounts about one hundred and
yenty thousand dollars short, has been
captured at Lisbon, Portugal. De
tectives have been on his track for
some time, but no clue was believed to
be had to him. The mysteries con
nectcd with his departure and the ap-
parent Indifference of his late associates
rs to his whereabouts, led some people
to believe that he was not really wanted,
but that having involved others in his
crimes he was voluntarily allowed to
90 away as scape goat for all and would
not be brought back To "Squcal." We
havenoextradition treaty with Portugal,
and 80 cannot demand OF that govern
ment his return, although the State De-
partment expects, through the courtesy
of diplomacy, to get him back as they
did TWEED.

A CHURCH TRIAL.

Quite an interesting church trial has
just been closed in Chicago. The de-
PENDANTS, Mrs. ANDERSON, and daughter,
members OF Trinity VI. T.. Church, have
been tried for leasing property which
they knew would be used for a beer
garden. Trinity is one OF the most fash
ionable churches in the city, and its
pastor one OF the most eloquent workers
in temperance. 1t was query with
the public whether the church would
dare either to order or decline the trial.
Public sentiment in Chicago is consider.
ably arousedo IL temperance, but
somehow churchmCn think il not
a proper subject for church discipline.
The mere leasingof property for drinking
purposes is believed to he too remote a
connection of the lessor with the vice
of intemperance. The trial, which has
been long and notorious one, has re-
suited in verdict OF guilty, against the
defendants The ground of the prose
cution has been that TO make people
drunk or to contribute to il, makes one
particeps crimmis, as much as contribu-
ton to any other crime. Certain it is
that intemperancc is too much of an
evil to be winked at by the church,
whose object is to remove the evils OF
society. And trial for such an otfense
seems more in place than the usual
ones for heresy OF non-conformity
on points that do not affect in the least
either public or private morality.
Churches are of little value except as
they remedy practical evils and promote
practical virtues, and to shirk their re-
sponsibility in this matter is TO miss
thier mission most decidedly. Iftheyca can
find some better means to effect the
same end, all right, but they should see
in some way that they are success.

AMERICAN COMMERCE AND MAN
uFACTURE.

There appears to be a great activity In
the questioned extending and enlarging
our American commerce. The time has
come when our people believe that we
should get back our shipping, which
was destroyed during the war; and
men talk about bodybuilding, ship
building material, new lines, the
Brazilian trade, the South American
trade and kindred subject more COM
monty than almost any other in COM
mercial circles. There is no longer any
sufficient reason why American com
merce should not be carried on under
the American flag; why American YES
sells should not be built in American
ports, and why American materials
should not be used in their construc-
ton, all of which could be done without
any very great subsidy or special pro-
lection from the government. There Is
no adequate reason why we should not
supply the entire American continent
with manufactured articles, now that
our industries are fairly developed. In
stead of Mexico and South America
shipping their products to England and
have them manufactured and then re-
turned las We used to do in the United
StatesJ, they might as well have all this
done on their own continent,
if not within their own
borders. We import vast quantities
OF merchandise from these neighboring
countries and. should be able To send
back much more in manufactures than
enough to pay for it. At present,
though our exports exceed our imports,
it is largely exports OF raw materials
az grain, cotton and meat. We are
very far yet from exporting manutac-
tured articles in equal proportions with
our imports. We still allow England
to take the principal markets from us,
though our proximity and natural IA
cilites in most cases would indicate
that they should be ours.
1t is therefore with pleasure that We
see the recent activity OF our manufac-
turing and business men in regard to
our markets and greater facilities for
commerce. We shall have some
thing hereafter to say now about the
new lines to the Pacific, the revision
OF our tariffs, the subsidy OF mail steam
ship lines, and several projected ship
canals. At present we may call at
tention to the direction in which public
opinion has recently set in, which is OF
great interest particularly in manufac-
turing city like Wheeling, and in State
like West Virginia, with its vast capa-
bilities not only for raw productions,
but for home manufacturing.

REVIVAL MEETlNGs.-Th meeting at First
Free Baptist church last evening was slimly
attended owing to the storm. Services COM
menced by singing hymn No. 80, followed by
Scripture reading by Rev. Mr.. lyric of Saco,
after which the choir sang the hymn "What
shall we do to be saved" Rev. Mr.. lyric then
spoke, taking his text from the 18th verse of
the 10th chapter of Mark-"Aud when he was
gone forth into the way, there me one run
ming, and kneeled to him, and asked him, good
master, what shall do that may inherit eter-
nal life." Mr.. lyrics remarks were addressed
to the young men especially, urging them to
give up all and follow Christ while they were
young, pointing out the temptations young
mau meets who does not embrace the religion
of Christ, and telling of the satisfaction expe-
rienced by the acceptance of the same.
Meetings will held every evening except Sat-
urday at half-past seven. Sermon tonight by
Rev. Mr.. Day of Chestnut street church.

THE STUDIOS.


Avery pleasant way of passing spare hour
on Saturdays, and profitable one too, is to pay
visit to Harry Browns studio. Saturdays
are reception days there, and the Artist extends
a cordial welcome to all who may come Just
now he has on his walls some of his best work.
During the winter months he devoted himself
to the easel, and the result of his labors is an
unusually large number of good paintings.
The studio itself is the work of an artist, and
its rival is not to be found in New England.
Certainly it is prodigal in the wealth of its
hangings, the beauty of its canvas walls.
Mr.. Brown now as heretofore finds his favor
lite subjects on the coast of Maine and gives
US many admirable pictures of our wild and
rugged scenery. One of the most noticeable of
these is scene off Grand Menau which has
been on exhibition at Schumacher's the last
few days, representing fishing boats drawn up
on narrow strip of sand at the foot of a
beadlaud. The painting is noticeable for its
rich warm color aud its peculiarly fine atmos-
pberic effects. Along with delpeatio rs of
bold and striking scenery. like this we find

CELESTIAL KNsFoLK. Child pride is COM
ical thing The other day two urchins, aged
five and six, were engaged in animated discus
sion or the respective merits of their houses.
So far as wealth and station were concerned
there was little to choose, and as for pedigree
we'll, they had a common origin in Asia, six
thousand years ago or more. At last one of
the youngsters, bethinking himself of other
worlds than ours, triumphantly cried out ST. We
got two aunts in heaven, aud you haven't. I'sh
be ashamed f'y's you" Aud the other aoas
ashamed. In vain he called the bead-roll of
his house. So far as he knew, all, grandfathers,
grandmothers, and others, were yet with the
minority. He gave up the contest He went
home, and silently sat himself down to the
MONDAY meal. Suddenly thought struck
him. Certainly there was one of his people ne
had never seen. "Where's grandfather C-.?'
he abruptly asked. "He is dead, he is in
heaveD," the mother explained. With whoop
the little inquirer was up from the table and
out of the door in search of his antagonist.
The other boy could no longer twit him Of hav-
ing no celestial relations.
