MIR. EDITOR In your last issue "Ju- nius" takes issue with the usual phrase olo,y of hiring a Rector" Printers we'll know that it Is short, plain state ment of bargain. Will "Junius deny that a rector is hired More than two thousand years ago the Prophet foretold thnt the time should come when they should "no more teach every man his brother" etc., etc. That time has ar rived. It is no longer done between man and man, but the people hire their preach ing done by wholesale. When they erase to hire then teaching will cease. Print ing will take its place. The preacher does not practice what he preaeEes--he cant. But the Printer can. He is the coming man." The three qualities that the Sunday speakers reprore the people of the most they have not half enough of-pride, selfshness and unhelief. They ought to have enough to claim their just right to be on an equality with their hired servants on Sunday. The greatest criminal in our Courts Of Justice is grante 1 the right of self-defenee denied to the poor sinner. JONATHAN.

According to correspondent of the
Press of Vienna, the czar is now to all
intents and purposes prisoner in his
own palace. Ten officers of the guard
are charged with the protection of the
building, and their duty is to keep
watch over all its inhabitants and re-
port their dcings at stated times.
Special regulations are issued for the
surveillance of each floor of the palace.
It is ordered that the officers on guard
at the floor where the emperor and
empress reside, shall turn back every
one who is found there without special
authority and does not belong to the
imperial family. Between II at night
and 6 in the morning not even the
czarowitch is admitted without spec
ial pass, to be obtained from the court
martial, Won Grote. This regulation
is SO strictly carried out that DR.. Bot
kin, the empress body physician, had
to wait one night for a pass before he
was admitted to his patient, and the
medicine he had sent for was also kept
back until authority for its admission
was obtained. The subterranean apart
ments have all been bricked up, it hav
ing been decided that they shall no
longer be inhabitated.

Musical Influences.

We may collect engravings, and pho
tographs, and china, and make our
selves learned in the history of art; we
may found amusements and institutes,
and spread casts of Venus and Apollo
through the land; We may give thou
sands of pounds for pieces of clever
vulgarity; but We shall not make
English life much more beautiful or
more joyous unless we can produce art
which will educate the nation to see
with its eyes and to hear with its ears
the country in which it dwells and the
history which it inherits. 1t is in music,
perhaps, that the outlook is the least
discouraging. Here there is pos
sibility of acting upon large masses
with some effect; here social distinctions
are less felt; here, too, the English
nature seems to show more aptitude
and susceptibility. We can hardly
hope to make our great towns beauti-
full, but it is not chimerical to look
forward to time when they may each
have their orchestry and chorus, and
adequate provision for hearing them.
There is no need to quarrel about the
precise educational effect which modern
music has or may have. That it mas
some such effect will not be denied
except by those who wish to keep it to
themselves, or by those who are irri-
tated at the stupidity of its would-be
advocates. The apparent vagueness of
its influence, arising from the difficulty
OF formulating it, is neither proof of
its unreality nor an argument against
utilizing it. Everybody who is at all
susceptible to music knows that he is
better for having it, and worse for
being without it; he also probably
knows that the composers whom the
world has agreed to call great are, some
Or all of them, those to whose music
he most likes to listen; more than this
he need not be able to say, for fact is
not made more of fact by being
talked or written about. If it be once
fully recognized that music has great
emotional power over a considerable
portion of English people, the proper
application of the power becomes a
public duty, and it is only a question
of time to discover the best way of
doing it.-HELLENICA.

HindOO Women.

The Hindoo women, when young,
are delicate and beautiful, so far as we
can reconcile beauty with the olive
complexion. They are finely proper
toned, their limbs small, their features
soft and regular, and their eyes black
and languishing; but the bloom of
youth soon decays, and age makes rapid
progress before they have seen thirty
years. This may be accounted for from
the heat of the country, as they are
often mothers at twelve years of age.
No vomen can be more attentive to
cleanliness tnan the Hindoos; they
take every method to render their per-
sons delicate, soft, and attractive; their
dress is peculiarly becoming, consist
ing OF 8 long piece of silk or cotton
tied around the waist and hanging in a
graceful manner to the feet; it is after
ward brought over the body in negli-
gent folds. then they cover the bosom
with c short waistcoat of satin. but
wear no linen. Their long black hair
is adorned with jewels and wreaths of
flowers; their ears are bored in many
places and loaded with pearls; variety
Of gold chains, strings of pearls and
precious stones, fall from the neck over
the bosom; and the arms are covered
with bracelets from the wrist to the ell
bow. They have also gold and silver
chains round the ankles; and an abun-
dance Of rings on their fingers and toes;
among those on their fingers is fre-
quently seen small mirror. I think
the richer the dress the less becoming
it appears, and a Hindoo woman of
distinction always seems to be over
loaded with fnery, while the village
nymphs. with fewer ornaments, but in
the same elegant drapery, are more
captivating there are few
women. even of the lowest families,
who have not some jewels at their mar
riage.

Emerson and His Home.

Near the village, and standing close
by the fork of the road, is Mr.. Emer-
sons. A plain fence comes we'll into
the street, and not many feet back
stands the large, square-built house.
To the left of the house is an overgrown
wood-pile, that speaks of long winters
and untold comfort in front of CHEEKY
fire-places. mount the porch, and
ring, and the servant ushers me into a
roomy hallway and thence into Mr..
Emerson's room at the right, most
pleasant apartment, not too large, but
just large enough. To the left as l
enter stands a bookcase stretching
from the floor to the ceiling. Upon
one of the lower shelves are the five vol
umes which Mr.. Emerson has given to
the world.
The furnishing of the room is plain
to homliness. In the center stands a
square-built mahogany table, and at
its side an old-fashioned 'Boston
rocker" Upon the table are a few
books, a pen-andinkstand, and much
worn portfolio. Between the two win
dows looking to the street is square
built lounge. A chest Of drawers is at
the right of the lounge, and the win
dowsills toward the village are full of
newspapers. A conch shell, such as
our grandm others used to think so
highly ornamental, occupies an henored
place upon the shelf over the fireplace.
A few portraits are scattered upon the
walls, and a fair bust of Charles Sum-
ner is given conspicuous position.
Presently Mr.. Emerson enters. His
thin, white hair is carefully combed
over his bald crown, and his old-fash-
ioned turnover collar barely copceals
the edge of his black silk handkerchief
He is dressed in a Prince Albert coat,
black vest and light pantaloons, and
bangles his "eyes," as he calls them,
in his left hand. He eagerly and per-
sistently asks questions about the busy
world outside, and seems to look upon
his visitor as a messenger come to give
him glimpses of that grosser existence
the slightest noise of whose tireles life
scarcely reaches him.
l! has been said of late that Mr..
Emerson was growing old very fast,
and was losing, in some respect, the
use of hfs faculties. found, in the
two hours l remained with him, the
only indication of this to be that mat
ters of contemporaneous worldly i'm
portance are apt to be forgotten, and
that very often he finds it difficult to
recall the word that hewishes to use; but
his intellect, when turned to the illumi-
nation of the themes in the contempla-
ton of which his life has been spent,
is as clear, as grasping, as unap-
preached and unapproachable as ever.
When asked if he had undergone a
change of religious belief, he replied
that he had seen no reason whatever
for modifying the views he had held
for SO many years. He accompanied
me to the door as took my departure,
putting me under additional obliga-
tions for his kindness by saying that he
was ''an old man and saw very few
visitors" and left him whose genius
as a philosopher is unrivaled save by
his virtues as man.-Concord Letter..

Reliable Testimony.

Where testimonials give the residence of
the parties 1t is an easy matter for any per-
son to verify them. Thousands of people
from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and
have expressed the opinion that there is no
other article in the world equal to PHOS-
PHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A
great many people have tested this soap for
skin diseases. Among others we give. the
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:
OAKLAND, Cal, April 5, 1880.
STANDARD SOAP COMPANY-GENTs:
Some two or three months ago, had boy
about two years old that had suffered for
year with a severe eruption on the head and
face, caused by teethipg. The child was in
such misery that it would often be awakened
out of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything we could find, but nothing
seemed to give any permanent relief until
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we
had used one cake, the child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there has been no
appearance ofthe di ease since.
MICHAEL KANE No. 1O6S Kirkham st.
Fort VERDE, Arizona, Dec. 12, 1879.
STANDARD SOAP COMPANY-GENTs:
Having received your box of PHOSPHATE
SOAP, and having used only one cake of
SOAP out of the three, l am happy to say
that it has completely cured my sore eyelids
which was caused By the akali dust in Idaho
Territory, in 1877, and have been ore ever
since until l used PHOSPHATE SOAP.
