EMPLOYMENT of Rich Young Men.

One of our difficulties of the future, :
not of the present, is the rich yof.s 8.
man (; what shall we do with him ? Here
is an admirable theme for Charles Fran
els Adams, Jr. England is about the
only land where the rich young man is
turned to some useful account. There
he travels, or goes into the Guards, then
into Parliament, attends Quarter Ses-
sions, raises big gooseberries, monster
turnips and prize cattle. Here, on the
other hand, he only plays poker, polo,
whist and billiards, belongs to the Union
and Knickerbocker, goes abroad, passes
the winter at Nice or Monaco, CANDLES,
drinks, keeps fast horses, and perhaps
other fast cattle, and "does no good, ;" as
his elderly spinster relatives have it. If,
on the other hand, he goes into business,
the chances are he loses every cent he
has. Perhaps the very best thing he
could do would be to go into politics.
There is a great and growing respect in
this country forfany man who goes into
politics with honest intent, and ''not ON
the make" and, once In politics, man
soon grows interested In them.-Ne,U
York Times.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.

His Debt About $4,000, OOO-None of the
Money Applied.
CINCINNATI, o., May 6.-Depositions have
been taken of Archbishop Purcell and of
Father Edward Purcell, his brother, in q
suit brought by one of the creditors of the
archbishop. Father Edwards deposition,
which is very clear, is to the effect that he
acted solely as business and financial agent
of the archbishop for the benefit of the do
cese, and had done 80 since 1886. He said
he did a sort of banking business, re-
ceiving money on deposit and paying interest.
The money was not used for his or the arch
bishops personal benefit, but for building
churches, orphan asylums, for charity, and
to educate priests in Rome, France and other
places. The amount of indebtedness was
over three millions of dollars. With the
exceptions of few important ones who got
mortgages, the debts were all unsecured, it
being understood that the diocese was liable.
The archbishop has testified that none of
the money received from the depositors was
applied to any personal use.

METHODISM.

Relations of the Church South and North.
CINCINNATI, May 8.-Bishop Simpson
presided at a session of the general confer
ence to-day. The report of the commits
sion on formal fraternity with the Metho-
dist Episcopal church South was read by
Clinton B. Fisk, of Kentucky. 1t recog-
nizes the church South as legitimate
branch of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and fixes rules for the determination of the
ownership of church property which has
been in dispute between the two bodies. DR..
Pierce, of Virginia, moved to consider 30
much of the report as related to certain
church in Virginia. This brought up the
question of whether the commission had
final jurisdiction over the matter, or whether
its acts were subject to review by the con-
ference. After long debate vote was
taken, and it was decided that the commits
sion had final jurisdiction. The report of
the commission on ecclesiastical code was
referred to tho committee on ecclesiastical
code with instructions TO make certain YER
bal changes. Adjourned.

Alleged Naturalization Frauds In New York
City.

New YORK, May SIN the Wallace in YES
tigation to-day Thomas Stapleton, of the
Andrew Jackson Democratic association,
testified he was in Judge Batnard's court in
October, 1858, and answered the per diem of
seventy-five or eighty applicants for natur-
alization, as the names were read from a
list by the Judge. Didn't know who fur
nished the list. There were about forty or
fifty other men present from various wards
of the city, and as the names were read out
they made responses in the capacity of wit
nesses. Witness knew only few of the ap-
plicants for naturalization in whose behalf he
responded. No oaths were administered
and the certificates of naturalization received
were distributed on three nights afterwards
by his association. He couldn't recall sin
ole name he answered for. There were about
200 or 800 names answered for altogether.
Several witnesses testified that they had
their naturalization papers handed then on
the streets or sent to their houses, they had
never made any applications or signed any
paper or been to court.
James A. Early, clerk of the supre me
court in 1868, testifes that men represent
ing persons desiring to be naturalized went
before the supreme court and had the papers
signed by Judge McCunn; he spoke to the
judge about it, and the judge said it was
outrageous that the judges had to DO this
naturalization business. Witness and sever
al other clerks had signed the name of James
M. Sweeny, clerk of the court, to the jurats.
Commissioner Davenport occupied the re-
mainder of to-day presenting to the commit
tee about four hundred irregularly made ap-
plications for naturalization in 1868.

A Stray BiIlet.DOux.

Three ministers sat in the pulpit of
East Liberty Church, on Sunday even
ing. A rising young artist who has 8
comfortable studio-if studios are very
comfortable street running from
Water to Liberty, who is one of the
workers in said church, walked bravely
to the pulpit before service and gave
one of the ministers notice to read
before benediction. The services were
about being closed, when the young
artist again went forward and reminded
the minister that he must not forget the
notice of the temperance meeting down
town. The minister begged pardon for
his remissness, took the slip of paper
from his vest pocket, read it, looked
dazed, rubbed his eyes, then smiled.
He passed the note to brother minis
ter, and he smiled. Then he passed it
to the other minister, and he smiled.
Then ansmiled. Then No. l remarked
that he you'd like to speak to the
young artist. The latter advanced to
the pulpit, received the notice, looked
at it, colored very red, and looked as
though he would like to jump through
the window. He had given the pastor
a notice of temperance meeting which
read something like this:
DEAR JOHN: am sorry can't let you come
to see me as frequently as usual, but papa and
mamma think should not receive even my
very dear friends during the Lenten season.
It's awfully disagreeable If not positively cruel,
but you know we Episcopalians can't 60 back
on Lent Ishall see you oftener than usual, I
hope, when the holy season is gone where the
woodbine twineth. Yours with friendship,

A COMMON THEME.
By EMILE CLARE.

There's not the least doubt you'll succeed Jon Try
To utter your thoughts In magnificent rhymes;
Rhetorical rules of course you'll descry
Are the key to success into metrical chimes.
With subjects 80 plenty don't linger to seek,
And nibble your pencil like one in q dream;
Just go to the volume Of nature, then speak
OF her radiant beauty of forest and stream.
Don't listen to critics, who clamor for song
Translucent and free from that olden estate,
When its dew-spangled garlands, though woven so
long,
Are lovelier now than the robes Of the great
You win hear it no doubt from the sage's own lips,
"The theme is too common" "No novelty wove;"
When the nectar the bee from the lily cup sips,
Has gemmed it for centuries out In the grove.
Less lovely, less rare, dare the creature complain
OF the author who writ out the poem divine
The tremulous measures of soft-falling rain
The babbling brooklets that sing as they shine?
Not soon shall the poem Of nature grow old,
Not soon they grow weary who list to the strain;
Though ages and ages together have rolled,
Each page of the seasons is welcomed again.
From emerald to gold whether hut'ring or prone,
1t hangs in its beauty aloft on the tree,
Or lying in autumn neglected, alone,
The autograph lines of its author you see.
Then write out your sentences graceful of course,
And pure as the lakelet that mirrors the sky;
Leave the critics their nag, tits privileged horse,
And, without an old hobby to ride they would die.

A Fight for the Standard.

Shortly after the civil war had ended,
young rustic in army blue, with a
musket, stopped on his homeward way
at our house. That faded dingy blue
was the most interesting color in the
world then, and, as this soldier, scarcely
more than a boy, ate his dinner we felt
grateful to him. He had simple, mar
row mind, which all his experiences of
camp and field had not deeply i'm
pressed. Presently he said he'd got
somethin' he didn't know but we'd like
to see, and pulled out OF breast-pockeb
a leather case, which he opened, dis
closing large bronze medal. We read
the inscription; it was to the effect that
the Congress of the United States pre-
sented this medal to Corporal - for
bravery in the field. Then, of course,
he had to tell us the story, something
after this fashion:

When "Pitman George" had become
sold George" to his friends, and "Mr.
George Stephenson, the great railroad
engineer, to the public, he was noted for
his plainness in dress.
Though often in contact with Lords
and Dukes, he fastened his white neck
tie with large brass pin, and wore no
ornament-w atch-chain, breast-pin or
ring.
Mr.. Stephenson hated foppery in
young men-"peacock fnery," he called
it-as one youth learned to his sorrow.
He was "Old Georges" private secre-
tary, and loved to dress in snowy
style, though, when in the old mans
presence, he restrained his propensity.
But one unlucky day, intending to take
a stroll with two "swell friends,
through the fashionable quarter of
London, he dressed himself as dandy.
His costume was patent-leather boots,
ight-colored trousers, and tightly
buttoned coat of blue cloth, within
which was seen a line of q white vest,
with pink shade under it; white wrist

coat-sleeves, black satin scarf, from
which glistened two diamond breast
pins, connected by a delicate gold chain,
light gloves. and shiny silk hat and
small cane.
AS he was saunteling through the
street, filed with promenade1s, who
should he meet but "Old Georgep' The
two friends left, but Mr.. Stephenson,
taking his secretary by the button,
turned him round and round, as if
showing him off to the passers-by.
A crowd collected. At last, releasing
the youth, sold George" blurted out,
in his strongest Northumbrian accent:
young man, you have lived five
years at my house, but I never knew I
was harboring an American jackadaw."
What an american jackadaw" was
the youth knew mot, save that it was
sometime indicative of contempt. OF
course he was mad, but as his en-
ployer never referred to the sight" he
was wise enough to remain silent. It
worked, however, change in his @pea-
cock fnery."

A WinGOW.Garden.

Those who appreciate the possession
of window-garden may find the follow
ing suggestions, by writer in the Prac-
tical Farmer, useful in preparing it:
A bay-window, next to a greenhouse,
is the very best to grow plants In, be-
cause in this manner they get the light
all around them, thus causing them to
grow symmetrical, for plants will in
stinctively grow to the light.
Before cold weather sets in, select the
best window you have suitable for plant
culture.
One having a southern exposure is to
be preferred; next to that, one looking
east or west; but it is useless to attempt
growing anything in north window.
Go over every inch in the window
sash, and with strips of paper or putty
stop every crack and crevice where
Jack Frost is liable to make his en-
trance.
While it is of the utmost Importance
to keep out frost, we must be equally
careful to keep our plants in moist at
mosphere. Remember that the dry air
of sitting groom is particularly unfayor-
able to growing plants.
To counterfeit this, moisture should be
frequently applied by means of fine
sprinkler.
have one made of rubber, with a
brass perforated nozzle, which es-
pecially recommend for indoor garden
ing.
Another way to get the damp air so
necessary to the welfare of plants is to
set them upon bed of sand, which
should be frequently watered.
IF you keep the temperature about 65
degrees by day, and 80 to 55 by night,
you will be little troubled with green
fly or red spider; but, if your plants be-
come infested, go at them at once.
Fumigation and washing are the means
of prevention and cure.
Look over your plants every day,
watering thoroughly such as needi it, leav-
ing the others till the next day.
Give all the light and air you possibly
can. Most plants will luxuriate in the
sunlight, but such as rex begonia can
be arranged in the shade Of some of
the others.
There are sach large number of
plants for winter Towering, I will only
name such as anyone may succeed
with.
Additions produce large bell-shaped
flowers. Boule de niege, white, of dwarf
habit. John Hopkins is a new yellow
variety.
Begonias, with their pretty flowers and
handsome foliage combined, make one of
the most popular classes of plants.
Carnations are fine winter blossoms.
Peter Henderson, a new white variety,
is in my opinion the very best.
Geraniums are abundant boomers,
and will grow for almost everybody.
Either the single Or double varieties
bloom freely in winter. I have over fifty
varieties, and, Like Oliver Twist, want
more.
Ivy may be grown in any part of the
room, and the vines trained to wreath a
picture, or in any way fancy may sug-
gest.
The above are only few of the plants
suitable for a window garden. Hanging
baskets filed with trailing plants add
much to the adornment of a bay
window.
Do not attempt to grow all I have
named; select such as are best suited to
your windows, and my word for it you
will never regret starting a window
garden.

When the pilot wheel was pulled down the

much more than midship, but the captain
thought he could get along all right
to Duluth. Everything went
smoothly until about forty miles from here.
A heavy northeast storm was prevailing at
the time, the waves being mountains. Her
rudder would not manage her so she Yves left
to the mercy of the sea. After being tossed
and rolled she lost her smokestack, making
it still worse. All this time the Winnipeg

drifted forty miles, but at last succeeded IN
working herself in shore, where she laid as
safe as in our harbor. After arriving here
work was at once commenced repairing
her.

This square is formed by the move Of
8 knight across chess-board. Starting
from 1, he touches every square on the
board, and no square more than once,
bringing up at GA. It viii be seen that
each horizontal and vertical column
sums up 26O. Divide the board into
four quarters, and the horizontal and
vertical columns of each quarter will
sum up 100. Divide the board into Is
equal squares, and the figures of each
square will sum up $50. Thus: 1x30x
48x51-130. Take horizontal column.
Add the odd numbers of the left half to
the even numbers of the right half, and
vice versa, and the result is 100. Thus !:

dreds of other wonderful features about
