An Ideal Government.

Parties are only means to an end.
IF the cause Is a ,oorthy one, Of course
every soorthy means that aoould tend to
make 1t succeed is to be cherished.-
If politics is to become mere matter
Of personal ambitions and partisan
scrangle, then the future Of the co@m-
try is not soorth talking about.
But my sense Of admiration for
oar system Of government soas accom-
panied By an apprehensiue realization
of the conditions Wndey achich only 1t
can be practically and permanently
maintained. And the conviction
gro,os stronger and clearer daily that
such a government can only be main
tanned By the exercise and employment
of the higher and better qualities Of
human nature. 1t is q government
of lasos emanatimg from popular soill,
but that soiu must be for honest and
scorthy ends, accomplished By homorG
BILE means. 1t Is controlled by public
opinion, bat that opinion mast be the
Intelligent result Of knowledge careful
~ acquired, and elaboration, and not
the unstable froth of tunuH and gusty
passion. And to make public primci-
piles secure they mast be; engratted on
private honor; the aoiskes Of an intelli-
gent and upright constituency mast be
reflected by an intelligent and wprsght
| representatives. A faithful represen
tatire should rather dispIease has con-
| st;tuents than consent to that achich
i,.jures them. 1t is has duty fully
| and freely to account to them, but not
to conceal has true opiniows for fear
oftheir displeasure, for his enlightened
conscience cannot be disregarded soith-
out injury to them and his entire loss
of usefulness. TO msaimtasn this gov-
ernment of ours such are some Of the
| conditions, and 1t is upon the sell pro
tecting elements Of society that zoe
must rely. As Burke, the great irish
statesman and philosopher, finely said,
"Flatteyy is not friendship, and to
nsisJead is not to sesUe."- SENATOR
RAYARD.

LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN JAPAN.
illustrated. BY E. w. Clark.
New York: American Tract So
ciety. S1.25.
This handsomely printed little
volume is an interesting statement Of
life in Japan, by gentleman who
spent four years in that country. 1t
contains good deal Of history, the
manner of life of the people, and the
adventures of a stranger among
them. What he saw and experience
ed he relates graphically. He talks
in straightforward manner, view
ing the people honestly, as he claims,
from Christian standpoint, without
prejudice. The book is published
with an outline map, aud the illus
tratiOns are woodcuts taken from
photographs. The volume in the
hands of young people will not only
prove deeply interesting, but profit
BILE in the knowledge it imparts.
Last Summer when the question
was in every ones mind whether
the Crescent City was again to be
afflicted with yellow fever, the whole
country was startled by the an
nouncement that among its half
dozen or more victims were first the
lovely young wife of the brave Con-
federate General j. B. Hood, fol-
lowed by the death of the General
himself, leaving ten little babes to
the cold mercies of the world. The
women of the South and North alike
arose TO this appeal to their charity
and subscription list was opened,
but with no great result compare
lively. The late warrior was on the
point of publishing his Narrative Of
Personal Experiences in the United
States and Confederate States Ar
mics. The book has just been pub
lished by his comrade General G.
T. Beauregard, the entire proceeds
going to the sole use and benefit Of
The Hood Orphan Memorial Fund,
as is set forth in another column.
