THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
Ministers Meeting Inquiry Tor
Statutes and Ordinances-ln-
augural MOvement-The Min
ister's True Position 49, Let
Fyery Man Do His DUTY.

INHfN .fldIi AgO
Corre>uoudeuce OF the Register.
On all questions OF social reform, the
writer of this article is every ready to
do what he can, by pen or tongue, to-
wards cultivating a correct public sen
timent as TO all matters Of geral interest
and seeing that that sentiment is carried
into good effect. For this reason, he is
i'm perfect accord with the ministers
movement on Monday last, for the pur-
pose of securing an enforcement OF the
Sundap laws and ordinances. And here,
speaking of enforcement, let it be un-
derstood at the onset, that when public
sentiment takes the form OF law, coer-
ton takes the place of persuasion. Let
not the friends of law and order, there
fore, be alarmed at the silly cry OF COM
munistic croakers against enforcing the
laws.
The inaugural movement at the Min
isters' meeting has taken the right direc-
ton, in first making the very proper In
quiry for "the statutes and ordinances
bearing on the Sunday question.
As to the position that ministers OF
the gospel ought to occupy in this mat
ter, the writer is very clear IN
his opinion, that the true office OF
the minister OF the gospel, III this,
as i'm other cases, is to create a sound
public sentiment, not only as to the
question OF morals, but as to the duty OF
inaugurating and enforcing wholesome
laws, and, except in voting, leave the
execution of the work TO the laity. With
the details Of political maneuvering and
manipulating, he ought to have nothing
10 do. Whenever he goes too far in this
direction, he soils his garments, loses his
hold on public confidence and necesSa-
rilv impairs his usefulness. The pulpit
and the parish are his legitimate sphere.
Within this sphere, letno man make him
afraid. Let him speak forth the words
of truth and sobeness, and a
true hearted and honest laity will always
sustain him.
And now to the work. Let every man
do his duty, relying upon the Strong
Arm. Thus 1t will soon be seen whether
the Christian minister is not still apOwer
in the land, and whether the Christian
Sabbath is to be overturned and tram

Among the Chinese.


 A Chinese woman named QEy Ngun in San Francisco, was murderously assaulted by Chinaman. The as. sailant stabbed her in the back with a large knife, which he left in the wound. Several persons, attracted to her room by cries for help, went in and attempted to remove the knife, but found that the blade had been driven into the bone, and was immovable. One man, in endeavoring to take the knife out, stood on the bed on which the woman was lying, and taking hold of the handle of the knife with both hands, pulled, but was unable to extract the weapon, and in pulling lifted the woman from the bed. Finally physician who had been sent for came, and, by placing his knees against the woman's back, and drawing on the knife with all his might, succeeded in extracting it. In course of time the woman recovered from the effects of the wound, and the man who stabbed her was arrested and sent to the State Prison for five years.

A Strange State of Affairs.

A remarkable statement has been made to the New York Legislature Banking Committee by James Mclean, one of the trustees of the Manhattan Association for Savings of New York City, which was robbed of large amount of funds. After detailing some of the circumstances of the robbery of the bank he stated that the bank officials had been approached by lawyers "of prominence and respectable standing" in New York City, who assumed to rep resent the robbers and who offered to return the stolen securities for 8 reward named by them. The amount demanded was so large that the bank officers re- fused to epter into the negotiation. He did not name "the lawyers of respectable standing" who represented the robbers, but admitted that it was we'll known to the members of tho Bar of New York who are the legal gentle men who act as the agents of thieves, it having become an extensive business.

A Dinner Interference.

When the late General Bligb of the British army was @ captain in march ing regiment he and his lady were tray cling in Yorkshire, and put up at an inn, where there happened to be only as much in the larder as would serve them for dinner, which was immediately or dered. In the meantime some sport ing gentlemen of the country came in, and finding there was nothing in the house but what was getting ready for another company, asked who they were. The landlord told them he did not di- rectly know, but he believed the gentle man an Irish officer.
 "Oh, well, if he's Irish," said one of the company, ''a potato will serve him. Here, waiter, take this watch" "-(pulling out an elegant gold watch)-" carry it upstairs, and ask this gentleman what's o'clock"
 Mir. Bligh, as may well be imagined, was not pleased at such an. impudent message, but recolIecting himself a mo- ment, took the watch from the waiter, and desired him to present his compli- ments to the, company, and he would tell them before he parted. This mes sage, however, caused his dinner to be sent up to him in quiet after eating which, he clapped couple of large horse-pistols under his arm, and going down stairs introduced himself into the company by telling them he was come to let them know what o'clock it was but first begged to be informed to which of the gentlemen the watch belonged. Here dead silence ensued. MT. Bligh then began on his right hand by asking them severally the question. Each oi them denied knowing anything of the circumstance.
 "Oh, then, gentlemen" says he, "1 find I have mistaken the company. The waiter while ago brought me an impu' dent message from some people in this house, which came, as you see-(point ing to his pistols) s)-properly to resent but find I have mistaken the room."
 Saying this he wished them goo6 evening, which they as politely re turned. He paid his bill, stepped into his carriage and drove off with the watcl in his pocket, which he kept to his death and left it by will, with a large fortune
 to his brother, the Dean of Elphin.

accounts have from day ito day become more alarming. In certain districts the mortality at the present time is 10 per centum of the population. The last ap- pearance of the plague in Europe was in 1844. Before then it invaded England in 1865, Merseilles in 172O, Moscow in 1771 and 1772. some points in the Nea- politan dominions in 1915 and 1916, and Persia in 1882.
 Every once in while we run across counterfeit bill or piece of silver. The amount of counterfeit coin in circu- lation in the United States is said to be $2, ,000,0 ,000, besides the great number of genuine pieces made fraudulent by the removal of part of the metal. Wholly spurious coins are almost always lighter than the good ones, but an exception is 8 $5 piece made of gold and silver, and really costing the eounterfeiter $3 40 each. Various ingenious modes are used in stealing gold from coins, The most common is sweating," which is done by using the coin as an anode in an electro plating bath, the gold being ab- stracted from it and deposited on anoth- CT surface. As much as two dollars worth of gold can be taken in that way from double eagle, without making a difference that is readily detected except by weight. A less scientific plan is to file the smooth parts of the surface, and reburnish the spots. The most ex- tensive fraud is "splitting." The oper- ator saws the coin through neatly, gouges out the centre until only thin shelf is left, substitutes base metal, and joins the parts again. The ring of the coin is destroyed and the weight lessened. Sometimes holes are bored into the edge, and plugs of lead put in.
 A Society has been incorporated in New York city with the title, "The Bus mess Mems Society for the Encourage ment of Moderation" The purposes of the society, so the certificate says, are to encourage moderation in the use of alcoholic beverages, to promote knowl- edge of sciences and statistics relative to the manufacture of alcoholic liquors, to disseminate among the people useful information regarding the principles of moderation, and the means of carrying such principles into practical effect. There are three kinds of pledges, of three colors, red, white and blue. The signer of the white pledge pledges his " sacred honor" not to drink during business hours for certain specified time. The blue pledge is "not to treat any one or to be treated by any one." That, the society believes, will strike at the fash ion of " My turn next" The red pledge
 is total abstinence"
