school IIy mns aud Music

It saams t us high time that the
songs Of the Sunday school, the prayer
meeting and the regular church service
should become more closely allied to
each other, SO that while the latter
shall be made more hearty and earnest,
the two former shall be less unworthy
of place in the mind and heart with
the grand truths and magnificent lit
erature of the Bible.
Too much oountenanoe has heretofore
been given in the Sunday school to
"hymns" which are mere rhymes with
out reason, with here and there dash
Of sweet sentimentalism in place Of Wig
orous thought-fippant In style and
irreverent 10 expression, and set to
tunes Of little merit.
Rev. DR.. Charles s. Robinson, the
author of "songs for the Sanctuary"
rendered a valuable service to the
churches when he added to his later
work, spiritual Songs for the Church
and Choir" a most excellent edition
called Spiritual Songs for Social Wor-
ship" and now continuation Of the
series is to be issued, spiritual Songs
for the Sunday School," by the same
accomplished author, who has been as
sisted in the work by Mr.. W. F. Sher'
win, the we'll known musical conductor,
composer and general Sunday school
worker.
The title of the book is hopefully
suggestive, and the names Of DR.. Rob
inson and Mr.. Sherwin give such pro
mice Of thoroughly sensible and attrac'
tive work that the advent Of the new
volume will be watched with eager in.

Blaine and COnkling to be Heard
RtNA FrOms

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says +: "senators
Blaine and Conkling are both in town,
and If reports from Republican head
quarters are correct, both will be heard
at the next Republican meeting to be
held here in response 10 Mr.. Garfsld's
letter. Mr.. Conkling's health for the
moment is not what it ought to be, and
he will probably 60 down to Long
Branch or Brighton Beach to recruit.
He is reported to take a very hopeful
view Of Republican prospects, and
speaks Of the pending Hancock boom
as a sign that the Democrats are wear
ing themselves out before the campaign
has really begun. He advises the Re-
publicans to reserve their strength un-
til later in the season."

INTIMIDATION IN ALABAMA.
Republican Candidates Compelled
TO Withdraw,

Alabama papers contain cards from
two Republican candidates for local
offices Withdrawing their names. The
cards bear internal evidence that the
work OF intimidation has begun in one
locality at least or probably it has
never ended since it was first introduc-
ed from Mississippi.
Tho first card is from Mr.. M. L. Bow
ie, oDe-legged ex.Confederate soldier,
whom the Republicans proposed to
place on their local county ticket. Mr..
Bowie says:
desire to say that am not candi-
date for any. Office in Dallas county.
For anything l have done to obtain
one l alone am responsible, and not
Judge Craig or any other man. My
condition, and my duty to my family,
which demands an honest effort for
their support, alone prompted me.
If by expressing desire for public
uffice have committed sin, l for one
am ready to bear my part of the conse-
quences, whatever others may see ht to
do. e,,. e...~ -sst7
The second letter is from Z. Il. Craig,
Republican candidate for Circuit Judge.
He says:
Ihave endeavored always to do my
duty as citizen and an officer, but il
my candidacy for an ONCE Is to have
this effect upon the community /
ought not to longer continue in the
contest, and l withdraw from it, be-
lieving that with the prejudices excit-
ed against me by the individuals who
are managing the campaign on the
other side, my influence for good in
the Office would be destroyed.

The Liberal Victory.

1t is no longer matter of doubt that the
Liberals will have large majority in the
next Parliament over the Conservatives
uencies not yet heard from vote as at the
last election, the Liberal majority will be
greater than that of the Conservatives in the
last House of COMMONS. The Liberals
therefore have it in their power to map out a
policy to suit themselves and will not be un-
der the disagreeable necessity, as at one
time seemed probable, of making concessions
to the HOmerulers to avoid defeat at the
very threshold of power.
But Notwithstanding their liberation from
a threatened combination against them, the
Liberals are by no means freed from diff
culties. At the very outset they seem to
have encountered perplexing .problem in
the question of the formation of the new
ministry. Gladstone is the recognized lead
er of The Liberal party and large majority
of the voters of that party desire his recall to
power. There are, however, several obsta-
cles in the way Of gratifying. the popular
will in this regard, the most serious of
which is his own refusal to accept the Lib
eral leadership. There are other men in
the party capable of leading, it is true, but
they are embarrassed by the fact that while
Gladstone sits in the House of Commons he
will be recognized as the actual leader,
whether he is officially styled so or not.
Naturally enough, therefore, they hesitate
to assume an honor which can be but an
empty one. Several ways, none of which
have yet been agreed upon, have been sug-
gested for the solution of this problem. One
is that Gladstone shall soon retire altogeth-
er from Parliament and another that he
shall be elevated to the House of Lords and
become first lord of the Treasury. Perhaps
Mr.. Gladstone will settle the difficulty by
submitting to the popular wish and assum-
ing the leadership in name as well a. in fact.
The questions which the new Parliament
will have to grapple with are very weighty
ones and will need most discreet handling.
How to retire from Afghanistan without
wounding the national pride, to surrender
and yet not to appear to surrender; how to
settle the complicated questions in the East
without appearing to yield to Russia; and
last bit not least how to introduce the need
ed reforms in land tenure in Ireland without
arousing fatal hostility in England are all
questions that call for the exercise of great
skill and tact. Too sweeping reforms may
at any time arouse the hostility of the mod
crate wing of the Liberal party, while on the
other hand too great moderation may drive
the radicals into open revolt.

A "Reminiscences of General Scott.


One evening during the early days of our
"late unpleasantness' there was to be an ex hi
bition of Grammar School No A in New York
City. arrived late at the school building and
found several distinguished looking visitors on
the platform of the hall. Among them there
was one whom l at once recognized by the por-
traits l had seen of hint was Major General
Scott, the hero of the Mexican war. He was
in full regimentals, and sat in an armchair a
little to the right of the centre of the stage-a
very grand, large man, with snowy hair and
whiskers. He gave the most fattering, the
most rapt attention to the reading of every
composition, to all the singing, defamation
every exhibition of skill, however perfectly or
imperfectly done. The presence of so distin-
guished visitor stimulated some to do their
best, while it scared others into doing their
very worst 1t was ON the whole, however, q
brilliant success.
After the exercises the president of our local
board of school officers approached the gener-
ais Chair and said something to him. We
knew he was asked to make a few remarks"
and wondered if he would consent To our
great delight there were evident signs of COM
pliance; the old hero commenced to RISE One
OF the school officers approaching his chair on
the opposite side offered to assist him He de-
clined assistance, but when the gentleman per-
sisted and made an attempt to take hold of his
arm, General Scott impatiently and Imperative
ly put him aside. Those near the platform heard
him say, II need no assstance-no assistance
only give me little time" The process of get
ting Strengthened up on the part of the general
was very slow, but not jerky or trembling one,
and suggested rather rheumatic infirmity than
the stiffness of age, though he must have been
over seventy. How immensely tall he seemed
as he stretched his majestic figure higher and
higher until he lowered half a foot or more
above the men around him! Then he was in
troduced to the children, and the tumultuous
applause of hundreds of small hands greeted
him from every part of the immense hail.
The applause continued until the principal
touched the bell. The General waited until
the silence was perfect, and then he said in
clear, ringing voice, youths and maidens,"
and for over half an hour he held forth in a
majestic simplicity of style never to be for
gotten by sny boy or girl who heard him,
though there was nothing very remarkable or
very original about anything he said. He
praised and encouraged the pupils and
aroused them to new effort. be compared

lands and with those of this country fifty years

A citizen of Watertown, N. Y, received
through the post office in that place, last Sat-

post-mark OF Is years ago, but penny stamp
had been placed over the Scent stamp and the
word City written on the envelope, Alexan-
dria being erased. The presumption is that
some Watertown soldier was intrusted at
Washington with the delivery of the letter,
and forgot so to do, and while looking over
his old papere, discovered it, and dropped it
into the Watertown post office.

lest it might revive the questions of the

the W. E. Crockett who signed the letter en-

the same W. E. Crockett who in the Adju-
tant Generals report is set down as de-
serter from the Fourth Maine Regiment,
that gentleman replies that he is the same.
He states. however, that the record given
him in the report is false that he served in
various capacities throughout the war,
though not with the Fourth Maine, and that
he has honorable discharge papers. He
attributes his unfortunate record in the re-
port above alluded to to personal hostility on
the part of the Adjutant General. Mr..
