A mule with seven legs was added to

should dismiss his Cossacks and stable
him in his outer chamber. A mule with

A Word for the Little Ones.

l hate to see children forced TO do
things that are disagreeable to them.
merely for the purpose of making them
obey. Where any good end is to be an
swered it is different. Little ones often
object to what is good for them, and
when firmness is necessary. people should
of course be firm. But, if little, pow
erless creature has strong fancy or a
great repugnance. parent or a guar
dian abuses his power in ignoring it,
Why should your little boy be made
to eat the fat of his meat, if he loathes
it, or anything, no matter what, that is
repulsive to him? 1t may be necessary
to refuse some things at the table, but
seldom, if ever, to force things upon
them.
Why make child, either girl or boy,
miserable by forcing it to wear articles
of clothing of which its taste does not
approve or ut which other girls laugh ?
L think little girls suffer more from this
than from any other thing. Almost all
of us have some such memory. i know
of a lady whose childish life was made
very wretched for year by an obsolete
old bag in which she was forced to carry
her books to school; and another whose
mother forced her to wear some old lace
which, though costly, was laughed at
by ignorant children who made her
world, and declared that she actually
wished herself dead, until that lace was
banished from her wardrobe.
If you can afford it, it is wiser to give
your boy the particular top or knife he
wants and yOur girl the very doll she
covets or the blue ribbon she admires.
And, at any rate, you need not uselessly
force them to anything from which they
shrink or which makes them unhappy.

vegetable Iramps.

One is tempted to say that the most
human plants are the weeds. They are
natures makeshifts. Germs lie in the
soil and resist the stimulating effect of
the sun and the rain for years, and show
no sign. Presently something whispers
to them, Arise, your chance has come;
the coast is clear, and they are up and
doing in twinkling.
Weeds are the tramps of the vegetable
world. They go east, west, north and
south; they walk, they fly, they swim,
they steal ride; they travel by rail, by
flood, 10y wind; they go under ground,
across lots and by the highway.
But weeds have this nature: They are
not easily discouraged; they never lose
heart entirely; they die game. If they
cannot hove the best, they will take up
with the poorest; if they cannot lord it
over a corn hill, they will sit humbly at
its foot and accept what comes. In all
cases they make the most of their oppor-
tunities.

Russian Railways.

The cars on Russian railways are con-
structed after patent furnished by the
Government. They are different from
English cars, though they have COM
partments, In having passage way ia
the middle running the entire length
of the car, the doors leading into the car
being at the side, and one near each end
on opposite sides of the car. They are
now having cars with doors in the end
introduced. The different classes of cars
are finished differently, the first class be-
ing finely upholstered, the second hav-
ing a poorer quality of cloth, and the
third having no upholstering ut all. They
are heated in winter by two wood stoves,
one at each end of the car, but are very
cold. The compartments will seat from
four to six persons, but in the frst-class
cars a passenger can hire whole COM
partment, the seats of which are capable
of being arranged 80 as TO make q COM
Portable bed. The engines are mostly
fired with wood. Only the woikmen
and peasants travel in third-class cars.
The cost of travelling in Russia for 100
miles is six paper rubles in the first class,
four in the second and two in the third.
ln Finland the rates are nearly the same,
but are on specie basis. Since 1860
the Government has exacted tax of 25
per cent. on passenger fares, which Is
added to the regular rates. Children

Surgeons Preaching.

In the vast throng the eye soon rec
ognizes the central figure of the whole.
Ii he were not there, the pastor OF this
immense dock, one might speculate, ig-
norant of his absence, Is not that per-
haps he, or the other? But, being
there, no doubt can exist. The one fig
ure comes out, to which all others are
setting-a full, pallid face, with thick
ron-gray hair and fringe of dark
beard. AS the clock overhead shows
the half-hour the pastor comes forward,
and at once the confused sound ceases
the shutting of feet, the frou-frou of
dresses, the nervous cough that runs
over the area like the rattle of file-firing
and a profound stiffness greets the
first words of prayer. The voice is worn
with much service, even husky In the
higher notes, but admirably managed
and modulated SO as to reach every cor
ner of the wide arena. We feel at once
that we are in the presence of born
orator. Without book or scrap of pa
per, there is, from the first, confident,
easy flow of well-chosen words. Some
distinguished orators put you in cold
perspiration till they have fairly warmed
to their work but, with Mr.. Spurgeon
all is easy and self-conscious power
which inspires confidence in the listener.
1t is part of the preachers system not to
spare himself in any way, but to give
the whole service the emphasis of his
own unaided powers. His reading of
scripture is accompanied by running
commentary that is kind OF prelimina-
ry sermon, and he gives out each verse
of the hymn with appropriate feeling
and action. There is no organ, and it
excites certain feeling of disparity of
means to end, when an elderly precentor
leans forward from the tribune and
sounds a tuning fork to lead off the
psalmody-the assemblage Is 80 big and
the tuning fork 30 small. But the sing
ing itself is disappointing. There is
not that grand outpouring one might
expect from such an assemblage.
A great deal of the charm of MIR.
Surgeons discourse-and there is q
powerful charm about it, causing time
to flow on unperceived, and the risk of
losing train to be disregarded-is due
to the ease and certainty of delivery,
and the good old English in which it is
expressed. If the preacher In former
days sometimes sacrificed good taste to
force of expression, time and experience
have toned down such exuberances.
But much of the ancient fire still smoul-
ders beneath the surface, and, perhaps,
the expectation of the breaking forth OF
some sudden flash of electric nature
still further increases the before-men-
toned charm. But, really, the time one
likes Mr.. Spurgeon best is when he met
aphorically descends altogether from
the platform, and, taking his audience
by the button-hole, so to speak, recounts
some telling little story or epigrammat-
ic saying. the Year Round.

Since Dean Stanley died, story he
often told of Carlyle has been recalled
by many who heard him tell it. Some
years ago, when the Queen was at
Windsor, she said to Lady Augusta
Stanley that she would like to meet, in
way that would not be ceremonious, q
few eminent men of letters, and soon
afterward the day was fixed. The guests
were to be seven in number, two of them
to be ladies, and, in al, were as follows:
Sir Charles and Lady Lyell, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Grote, Robert Browning,
Charles Dickens and Mr.. Carlyle. Her
Majesty had before met them all except
Carlyle. Him she had often read and
appreciated, and her interest chiefly
centered in him. She started as the
subject Of conversation the probable flu
ture of the second French empire-a
subject on which Carlyle was greatly at
home, for, in those days, he was pre-
dieting, with singular clearness of vision,
how the whole Napoleonic drama would
be extinguished in flame and smoke from
beneath the stage on which it is acted.
Both were standing when the talk be-
gan, and, as he warmed with his subject,
the Queen still remained ON her feet
He desired greatly to sit down was, in
fact, weary, and finally said to her: "Ii
your Majesty would be seated we could
carry on the discussion with more ease. I"
OF course, she had never realized his
fatigue, but at once the Queen of En-
gland-and, probably, for the first time
in her life as Queen-took "A seat at the

The American Canal HoVement-Whaf
They Think OF IL.
The De Lesseps Canal scheme mas evidently been
pushed in Paris on the representation that the
Americans are idle and Indifferent spectators.
The following from La Rerue FIRGRciere, of Paris,
shows that the movement by Americans toward
Nicaragua Is surprise to the people who have
only heard the din of de LesSeps
"a telegram states that an act of Incorporation
for Nicaragua canal has been presented IN Con-
greSS in Washington and referred to committee.
The Importance of this telegram Will not escape
attention. Prior TO this we had received the re-
port of the executive committee of the PROVISIONAL
Society for the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal, announcing that on the meeting of Con-
greSs an act of incorporation would be asked.
The dispatch shows this to be fact, and that the
success of the subscriptions to the Panama Canal
has not arrested action on the Nicaragua Canal
The report referred to contains figures which war
rant this persistence. 1t makes comparisons in
double point of view, as to location and cost of
construction, not at all favorable 10 the Panama
Canal. The direct consequence of the con-
siderable relative cost of the Panama Canal with
that of Nicaragua is forced excess of the rates of
transit through it. Taking for base of cal
cuaton three million tons of transit the tariff of
$3.50 per ton for all dues at Panama will give one
and halfper cent and by Nicaragua eight per
cent on the investment
"If 6,OOOOOO tons be assumed, supposed by II. de
Lesseps, the Panama Canal would pay little over
four per cent, while this tonnage will permit the
Nicaragua Canal lower the transit dues to 81 20
per ton and still pay ten per cent. on the invest
ment
"Such are the principal figures presented by the
executive committee. Whatever may be their
actnesS, this report and the dispatch which we
publish demonstrate peremptorily that the AmeTi-
cans do not readily rcnOuuce the idea of creating
to their profit navigable route at a small cost,
which, if made will be terrible 10 the Panama
project 1t is necessary to oaWait the action of Con-
greSS as to whether it will sustain and encourage
an American enterprise binding more directly the
States of North America, and through which the
Government of the United States would be able TO
exercise an immediate control and an effective
supervision"

Leaders and Bosses.
Saws the New York World:

|
The real struggle at Albany over the choice of q
candidate for Senator by the Republican party is
between the Spois-Boss system on the one sids, as
represented by Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Arthur, and
the better element of the Republican party, which
deplores and would be rid of that system, on The
| other side. All good Democrats who sincerely
commend the civilservice plank in the st. Louis
Democratic platform will sympathize with the Re-
publican protest against the Boss system in the
Republican party. no matter how inadequate that
protest may prove to be.
| As one mans meat is another mans
poison, so is one mans "leader" another
mans boss" In the eyes of Tammany
Hall Kelly was "leader" and Tilden a
"boss." But Irving Hall knew Tilden
only as a "leader" and Kelly as the "boss."
In all Democratic discussions of Republic
can leaders, of course if there is man
whose friends embrace ninety-nine hun
dredths of his party he is a " boss" and
the helpless minority, who are small
minority because they are indecent
in their methods of opposition, are
the better element" That the pure
and undefled Democrats of New York,
"who sincerely commend the ciyil-service
plank in the ST. Louis Democratic plat
form" of 1876, are "honing," as our Irish
friends would say, after the better ele
ment" of the New York Republicans is
not to be wondered at. The association
would be step forward for them, and
each could fill the aching void in the
others heart.
Think of SamueI-J. Tilden, the boss
no, we mean the leader of those civil ser
vice reform Demonstrating up to Miss
Nancy, the self-styled "better element"
of the Republican party personifed, and
finally exchanging marriage VOWS with
her. We think We can imagine the priest
asking: "Who gives this woman away?"
And then from among the beer barrels at
the rear of the scene we hear the voice of
one who knows the shamminess of Miss
Nancy's pretensions muttering below his
breath, L could, but l won't" Oh, how
touching is the wooing between Demo-
cratic and Republican civil service pre-
tenders.

explanation which the circumstances
seem to require.
