CHAPTER III.
ETrIE MENTwOETH.

Elite Wentworth, or Elite Hepburn, as she
was more frequently called, was the adopted
daughter of lady by that name. Mr.. Hep
burn was an East India merchant, and was
thought to be very wealthy. The Hepburns
could have moved in the first circle, but Mrs.
Hepburn was an invalid, and seldom gave or
received calls.
Visiting the Home one day she first saw Et-
tie Wentworth. The little wistful face franz
ed in brown curls particularly attracted her
attention, and Elite, who had just entered the
Home, having been only few days an orphan,
somehow thought the sweet gentle lady re-
sembled her own mamma, and when Mrs.
Hepburn smoothed down her brown curls, Et-
tie took one of the fair delicate hands and
kissed 1t softly. This simple act Of childish
affection touched the lady's heart, she took
the child home, and adopted her as her own,
and ere long learned to love her as well and
when, some years after, her own little Lille
came to gladden. her heart she knew no differ
ence between them. Elite always loved Lille

/" THEY SAYp

Why MINISTERS SHoULD Nor ATTACK
SCIENTIFIC INFrDELrTY.v--Th Pres5gser.-
ian Journal has this note of warming to min
listers who are fond of combating " scientific
inndelity" In their pulpits
An Influential elder in one of our church,
es recently told us that he intended to remove
his daughter from the church in which she
had been worshipping to another, unless her
pastor will stop preaching about Darwinism,
Huxleyism, Spencerism and Ingersollism. She
has been raised, he informs us, In family in
which no doubt Of the Divine origin of tho
Scriptures was ever heard expressed, and now
that the doubts Of disbelief of men who claim
distinction are thrust upon her almost every
Sabbath from the pulpit, whether to show
scholarship in exploding them or for any 9TH
er reason, her mind has become seriously dis
turbed as to the truth of Christianity. His
idea is, that, when people go to church, they
do so to have the Gospel preached to them,
not to hear what iniidels say against the sys-
tenn. Who will deny that his opinion is right 3?
In our Judgment, ministers assume most
fearful responsibility when they introduce
such topics as those mentioned into the sacred
desk. They arc not only introducing bad
books, but sowing seeds of skepticism which
will soon yield a wretched crop. In firing off
a gun which has been loaded to kill Ingersoll-
ism fifty persons may be fatally injured for
one that is benefited. Why then, why pur-
sue so dangerous q course

Fiji NAPOLEON DYNASTY,

Since the death of Napoleon, the
w., who fell a victim TO an ambus-
cade while accommodating in the Brit
ish service in Zululand, there has
been much conjecture as to who
would succeed HIM and assume the
title of Napoleon V. The telegraph
informs Us that 1he Bonepartists in
France are under considerable en-
barrassment. While determining to
keep up the empire, they are at loss
for an Emperor. Paul de Cassagnac
is reproached with indiscretion in
putting forth the name of Prince Vic
tor Boneparte as pretendcr to the
imperial succession. Cassagaac re-
plies that nothing has been officially
determined on, though perhaps Il de-
cision may be arrived at in n few
days. 1t is believed that Rouher re-
CARDS the alleged will conferrIng that
honor Oh victor to be q fabrication. 1t
is thought that Prince jerome will
not become a pretender himself Dor
allow either Of his sons to assume
such a position, and in that event the
Bonapartists must fall back upon
Prince Charles Napoleon who is
President of the Corsican Council
General who is about 40 years old
and has neither sons nor royal con-
ncctions, and is a much less eligible
candidate than Prince Victor.
The death of the young Prince in
all probability is an irretrievable loss
to the Empire Of France and will
most likely lead TO its abandonment
as a political organization. Both
the Compile De Chambord and the
Compile De Paris have ceased to be
dangerous to the Republic, and they
are not likely to be revived as pre-
tenders.
While it is natural to lament the
untimely taking off of his youth and
s~ympathise with his unfortunate and
bereaved mother. France is not
likely to lose much from the disap-
pearance of the claims of a Pretender
from her Legislature and from her
journalism.

ELECTION DAY.
BY SENATOR BAYARD.

Some propositions are too clear
to be debated, they are so strong in
their simple statement as to have
no need of discussion. Daniel Web
ster spoke of certain popular rights
as fireside rights that no man could
safely suffer to be drawn into ques-
ton, and the right of the people
peaceably to assemble and hold their
elections free and undismayed by the
presence of armed force or intimida-
ton under any pretense whatever is
an essential right without which all
others are insecure. Election dav
is the one day of freedom; the dav
of days for the citizen. If a man
may not be free on that day he shall
be a slave for the remaining DAYS of
the year. On that day comes the
opportunity to retrieve mistakes, to
lnaugurate reform, to redress griev-
ances, to withdraw power that has
been abused; it is the day to which
men oflaw-abiding spirit lcok forward

THE VETO.

AS has been expected for several
days the President has returned to
Congress the ''army appropriation
bill" and the ''act making appropria-
tions for certain judicial expenses
with messages approving the for
mer and Withholding his assent from
the latter. The reason given for
vetoing the judicial expenses bill is
based upon the ground that if allow
ed to become law the bill would de-
feat enforcement of the congressional
election laws by Withholding the
means to pay the marshals and their
deputies. The President and the adj
ADMINISTRATION are determined to hold
on to the power given them by law to
interfere with elections. They
do not seek to justly their use Of
marshals and the army. They seem
to think that the propriety of employ
ing the civil and military arms rs has
been done is ~self-evldent and needs
neither apology nor bolstering. They
maintain that it is the duty of Con-
grcss to make appropriations to exc
cute every law that is in the statute
books, whether that be constitutional
or not, political or not, just CT not.
condemned by the poopie OF not.
'"oh f.neiple never obtained in
THIS or any other government that
had. Legislative body empowered to
make appropriations. The idea that
representative is bound to regard
an act either constitutional, just, or
expedient because it is in the statute
book is ridiculous. There never
were laws more clearly unconstitu-
ton and oppressive than COMPRESSION
al election laws and the right of Con-
gress to defeat them IN any manne
it pleases is quite as clear. No law
can be executed without employment
OF money, and the constitution vests
in the lower House of Congress the
right to withhold it. No other
branch of the government can as
much as originate a bill to take money
out of the treasury. 1t is difficult to
sec how any Representative can ap-
proprIate money to support unconsti-
tutional measures without violation
of his official oath. The bill that has
been vetoed appropriates all the mon
cy that has been demanded for the sup
port of the judiciary, and when the
President yetps it because it does not
go further and provide for the enforce
of unconstitutional and oppres-
;ive laws, he not only withholds sup
bort from judges and courts, but aims
'lso a seyerer blow at representative
government than has ever been launch
'd at it before. If submitted to and
onfirmed by the people it will not

with patient endurance of present evil
because it is the day of their deliver
ance. Sir, it is the day when power
is to return to the people from whom
it eminated or it may never return.
Free election is the great safety
valve of human discomfort; it is the
wise substitute of our %forefathers for
desperate and forcible revolt of mis-
cry against expressions OF constituted
authority. Election day brings the
ruler back to judgment at the hands
of his people to be deprived of tenn
porary power or to receive renewed
expression of public confidence.
My object at this time is to warn
this Senate and the people of the
United States against the doctrine of
permitting under the pretext of civil
rule, the establishment of q military
power that necessarily must become
superior to them. If this law author
izing the President of the United States
in his discretion to bring the army
of the United States to the polls Of
the several states under preteXt Of
keeping the peace-if such a law q
be sustained then will our elections
become military forms merely and
the party that can obtain control of a
government possessing such powers
will.inevitably possess the meaus for
its W perpetuation and the liberties
of our people will rest only in a gov
eminent of men and not of laws, in
the conscience or degree OF audacity
military capacity which any Presi-
dent or administration can possess or

THE FISH STANDS IN WASHINGTON MARKET
Mr.. N. G. Ordway, superintendent Washing
ton Market Company, has addressed note to
the health officer in relation to the removal of
fish stalls In that market house and submits
plan to obViate the necessity for removing them
10 the opposite side OF street, as suggested by
the health officer for sanitary reasons. He
states that the market company will build some
refrigerator fish stalls and stands next to the
wall on the south side of the street wing,
under the shed erected by the company, SINH
lar to those On the north side OF the same wing,
The pavement Is sixteen feet wide and five or
six feet-the amount OF space allowed for bay
windows and areas-could be used for these re-
frigerators and fish stalls without interfering
with the travel and use of the sidewalk.
He encloses diagram showing the plan of
the stalls, and states II the same Is approved
by the District authorities the market company
viii commence the construction of the stands
at once. The permits issued by the company
to the present occupants provide that they can
only occupy the stands In the market SO long
as the board OF health or District authorities
stands could be removed from inside of the
market building 1t would be an Improvement to
the sanitary condition OF that structure, and it
Is probable that this change will be made.
