TIMELY TOPICS.
MINISTER YosH1DA and his retiring suite
exhibited touching bit of courtesy on their
departure from Washington the other day.
As each passed the silver star which marks
the spot In the railway station where Garfield
fell, he paused, uncovered his head, and bowed
low.
THE Archbishop of Toronto, with his Aux
iliary, and the clergy of his cathedral, have
sung TIE Deum for the mercy of God in
bringing towards an end the troubles
OF the Church in Germany. The
archbishop attributes his great triumph of the
church to the prayers of the faithful during
the jubilee just closed
THE Emperor Francis Joseph is not content
He has been personally inspecting every part
of the Burg theater in Vienna, and has given
orders for adding to and widening the doors of
egress, and constructing an additional stair
case. He also directed the removal of the last
two rows of seats in the fourth gallery.
THEY have no bowels in Toronto. They
have no due regard fors "the man and the
brother" The pale-faces exclude from their
skating Kinks the class "guilty of skin not
colored like their own" Soon there will be
an ''exodus" from the Dominion, to land
where equality of rights" in skating Kinks
ha ;oo md oy,A nd oil
the year around.
A CHICAGO divine has recently been giving
the theaters of that city especial fits, whetting
the curiosity of his auditors to ego in" and
see the practical workings of such alleged
sinks of wickedness for themselves, instead of
taking his word for it. He, also, proclaims
that everything that had been put on the Chi
cagO stage the past year was trash, and in this
branch OF his militant theology he may not be
far amiss.
Mr.. R. H. GIVEN, Of Chicago, Mr.. James
family of the late Judge Burnside, OF Penn
sylvania, are the claimants to the estate of
eight millions left by John Burnside, of
Louisiana. Mr.. Given says that he is grand
son of Mr.. Burnside's sister; while a repre-
sentative of Judge Burnside's heirs says that
| the judge was John Burnside's uncle and that
the latter had no brothers nor sisters
A RoLL1CKING wise one suggests that ''cOld
bed rooms compel one to use too many bed
| clothes. Consequently, one feels very tired in
the morning. Sleeping in warm bed rooms
produces lassitude. The golden mean would
| seem to be to sleep with ones feet out doors
and with the head inside, the temperature of
| the chamber being at 80 degrees. Queer that
no doctor has yet recommended this course.
Most everything else has been suggested"
| CHARLES SUMNER is quoted by Mr.. G. II.
Brainard, in the Washington Star, as saying
of Mr.. Wendell Phillips conversation, that it
was full Of numerous and witty sayings.
''And they sometimes crop out in his
| speeches." Sumner added, "but they never de
in mine. Did you ever see a joke in one of
my speeches." Mr.. Bralnard confessed that
he never had seen one. "Of coarse vou never
did," said Sumner. "You might as we'll look
F.! for Joke in the book of Revelations.''
FIEND1sH ingenuity seems to be brought
into requisition sometimes for the punish
ment of children by those who have them in
charge. The Harvey institute in Montreal,
is home for young children, where Mrs.
Craig, the matron, has been in the habit OF
applying mustard poultices, by way Of pun
| ishment, and SO blistering the children that
l eff Tho ~uordionc nf
| tender, helpless childhood, seem often to act
the parts of fiends, In tortaring the bodies OF
| the unprotected innocents, by way of alleged
| punishment
| THE Hour: When Gen. Grant paid his $1,000
| for pew in the Madison Avenue Church, he
discovered, il is SAID, that Russell Sage was to
| be Immediately in front of him. Now, it
| happens that, although the deacon did contr;-
butte to "that funds the ex-President was not
| pleased to be so near the mueh-privileged
operator. The kindly, sanity face of Jay
| Gould's partner somehow disturbed the hero
of Appomattox in his devotions. The matter
was explained to the church committee, and a
change was made. In effect, the general said,
'Get thee behind me, Sage"
GEN. HAzEN is acquiring Vennorish rep
utation by his weather predictions. The other
day he promised us eight rain or snow."
| and the sky, which was clear at the time,
didn't show cloud for two days. This is
only one of numerous instances of the kind.
| It strikes disinterested observer that to pre-
dict the same weather for the upper Missis-
sippi and lower Missouri valleys, each day, is
covering too much country. Perhaps regu-
| lar division of the district, with more careful
! study of the barometric and thermometric
| symptoms, and separate prediction for each,
| would have tendency to greater accuracy in
| forecasting onr weather, matter of consider
| able Importance, by the way.
WHAT to do with the crown jewels, which
| there is nobody to wear, is a question that has
| bothered the French government for some
| time A committee having the matter in
charge proposes to sell the whole stock except
few presents from foreign monarchs and a
sword worth S50,000. Among the jewels to
| be thrown on the market is the Regent dia-
mond, bought in Madras for Louis XIV for
| S65O,000, which is accounted the most perfect
brilliant in Europe, though not the most val
uable Doubtless it will find a purchaser
