such as alteration or kissing the cross, the

English kings used to hallow rings to preserve
the wearers from epilepsy. 1t is generally
observed in many churches i'll this country
and is the only day in the year on which mass
is not regularly said The knights Templar
regularly observe the day by attending divine
service in a body. The custom Of keeping
the day is good one. Certainly no harm
can come and some good may be done by
haliowing week day whcrin the attention of
men is called to one of the greatest events in
time and they are thus reminded of their
duty in the midst of the hurry and hustle and
temptation of daily lie.

EsespecIabIe Poverir.

We have for several years experienc
ed pretty hard times in this country
and many families that formerly enioved
afHuence are now suffering the trials
of actual poverty. Every who
has a wide acquaintance can call to mind
instances OF this,sort, and some of them
of a very painful kind Stocks which
ten years ago paid handsome dividends
and we're regarded as investments
which might safely be chosen by the
managers of the funds of widows aud
orph ans, now yield nothing to their
owners. The list of false trustees who
have robbed the estates thew were
selected to guard is very long. and
unfortunately, few of them are in State
prison.
The case with Us, however is not
worse than it is in Great Britain.
Indeed it is not so bad. Mr.. Alsager
Hay Hill, a barrister, contributes to
the University Magazine of London q
very suggestive article on Middle
Class Destitution, His purpose is to
show that the area of pauperzation is
steadily charging in England and
taking in people hitherto not inc luded
in it, He starts out by defining "A
panper a. one who owes his continued
existence to the charity of others; aud
he finds that there are many paupers
in what is known as tho middle class
of England, thar IS the people who
rank between the nobility at the top
aud the workingmen at the bottom
We have no such social distinction In
this republic, though there are snobs
who would like to make it.

Repeating nanKrupt Law.

in New York, to secure the repeal Of
the present Bankrupt law. Petitions
are circulating aud being generally

The second bankrupt law was enact

about two years and was then sum

Several attempts were made to enact
another without success until 1862,
after the civil war had become fairly
under way when the present law was
carried through Congress. Although
since then it has never been brought

Chicago Is waking up to the impor
tant fact that the Mississippi river Is
reality-a valuable highway which
was not put in the center OF this great
country simply to toll on its way to
the sea as huge drain. All the rail-
roads of the East and North, and all
the commercial cities whose prosperity
depends upon lake trade or direct com
muoication eastward with the Atlantic,
appear to have acted on the assumption
that the Mississippi is merely an ex
ceIlent open drain, which has lost It's
value as means of communication.

thirds OF her trade aud prosperity
upon an area Of country whose trade II

of the RAILWAYS of the East aud the
West depend for their earnings on car

large trade from the seaboard direct to
