-SAD-FAoED WoMEN.-M Marguerite OF
Italy has lost much of that bright, blonde
beauty which once rivaled the charms of
the Empress Eugene. She has grown a
little stout, and her sad expression and
frequently noticed redness Of the eyelids
gives emphasis to the rumor that she often
weeps. All the royal beauties of Europe
have had trouble. Eugene, the Princess
of Wales, and her pale, frightened sister,
the white dove" Of the Russians, all know
what sorrow is; and Queen Isabella, one
of the ugjest women in Europe, has not
had very happy life. It is said that
she left Madrid in tears last month, when
State reasons forbade 'Alphonso to ask
her to extend the visit Of ceremony she
IS allowed to make to her native land

= INCREASE OF DRUNKENNESS The
number OF persons charged before magis-
trates In England and Wales in the fast
year with being drunk and disorderly, is
more than double the number charged in
1868, nearly twenty years ago. The in
crease was chiefly from 1867 to 1878, the
first year Of the Intoxicating Liquors Act,
since which time the number has been
nearly stationary. In 1867 the number
was l00,357 in 1868, III ,465; in 1859,
l22,3l0; in 1870, 131, $40; in 1871, 142.,
343 in 1872, 151,O84; and in 1873 it
leaped to 1894, whereabouts it has
stood. The increase Of drunkenness is
reported as among men; the crime has
diminished among women. ss

REVIVAL IN THE WESLEYAN CHURCH.
Es.-A correspondent writes to the Lon
don Christian as follows:
1.-THE tidal wave of salvation, which
we reported few weeks since as having
set in upon the Methodist churches, is
rolling on with ever-increasing power and
blessing. The denominational papers are
giving from week to week full accounts OF
this remarkable work of grace, The re-
cent Day of Prayer for Sunday schools was
the commencement of a powerful revival
among the young in all parts of the coun-
try while the more recent Temperance
Sunday was generally observed, and made
the means of great good not only in the
advancement of the temperance move
ment, but also in the salvation of many
souls. Ingatherings of souls for Christ
are reported from Southwark, Castleford
Darlington, Greetland, Grantham, Great
Yarmouth, Noteworthy, Luton, Liam.
dilo, Widnes, Newton Abbot, Ampthill,
Clitheroe, Dudley, Selby, Runcorn, Har
tlepool, Richmond, Abingdon, Bolton,
Chippenham, Skipton, Holbeach, Port
land, Houghton-le Spring, Reeth Santry
(Hunts), Thame, Tarporley, Mansfield
Whitchurch. In all these places and in
others evangelistic services have been
held in many cases the towns have been
missioned by singing bands, and hundreds
who seldom, if ever, hear the Gospel have
been brought under the power of the
Word
The Methodist Recorder of December
23d has the following with respect to
Geurnsey:
under the heading "A Revival One
Thousand Souls added to the Lord, the
French Methodist monthly, LIE MaqaSin
1Hethodiste deS Ties de Ia Manche for Jan
uary gives deeply interesting account
OF an extensive revival of religion which
as now taking place in the country chap
els of the Wesleyan French circuit and in
the town by the efforts of the Salvation
Army. 1t is chiefly to the Methodist por-
ton of the work that the article in LIE
MagGSan refers. 1t appears to have com
menced early in October at the CapezLeS,
first among the teachers and the elder
scholars of the Sabbath School, and then
1T spread Immediately, east and west, to
the neighboring chapels of the Yale and
JIG CtbSCSC. LII Is now extending to those
portions of the island called the Upper
Parishes. Nearly five hundred persons
have been received on trial or admitted
into preparatory classes during the quar-
ter. Persons varying in age from ten to
seventy, and of almost every station in
country life, have been awakened and
converted, and in many cases whole fam
lilies have covenanted together to be the
Lords. Men and women at their work,
either in the quarry, the field, the shop,
or at home, have been suddenly awak-
ened, and many dwelling has been the
spiritual birthplace of souls. This work
of God has been carried on by special
meetings under the direction of the cir
cult ministers, with local help only. Lo-
cal preachers and class-leaders have in
many cases, conducted the meeting them
selves, with an occasional visit from their
overworked ministers The people have
had mind to work, and God has great
~ honored their faith and rewarded their
labor.

Judge Folger has formally accepted the nom

subject of the alleged irregularities at the Sara

of many republicans. He deprecates the stu
alton, but considers that it would be ruination
to his party for him to withdraw at present and
although threatened with disappointment and
political death, must stand before the people.

THE CAUCUS INvADEs ENGLAND.

According to writer In recent issue
of the st. James Gazette, our cousins
across the sea have taken several notions
from us in a political way, which he re-
CARDS as altogether unnecessary and un-
suited to the situation of affairs in that
country, and contrary to the spirit of
her institutions. One of these things
is the caucus, which he says has been
organized by the Birmingham party
managers. He considers the main OBJ
jects of the caucus to be two: one, to
keep up political interest in popula-
ton among whom it constantly tends to
die out through the minute subdivision
of political power; the other, to main
tain vigilant watch on not too honest
political representative who is discharg
ing his duties at a great distance from
his constituency. These objects, he
thinks, are fairly well attained by the
American political machine. In Eng
land he considers the caucus un-
necessary, because these objects do
not exist. He says there is rarely
or never reason to doubt the integ-
rity of the regular parliamentary repre-
sentative and that In England the eau
Gus becomes simple expedient for con-
trolling the more intelligent, the better
informed, and, on the whole, the more
honest, by the more ignorant, the more
stupidity factious, and, on the whole, the
less upright. He says the secret ballot
is an open secret, that taxation in the
United States has become enormous,
and concludes that self-government on
this side the Atlantic is on the whole a
failure. He regards the adoption of
the "previous question as one Of the
rules of parliament in the light of a
great calamity, and laments the loss of
prestige which England has lately suf-
fered from the American policy of at
tending to her own business and letting
her neighbors attend to theirs. Such
ieremiad from one of the ultra conserva-
tive journals, says the New York Ex-
press, is instructive as well as amusing
reading. 1t indicates the drift Ct opinion
IN that country toward a freer constitu-
ton and a reform of the rest of the
abuses and relics of past
age, SO many of which Mr.. Gladstone
has, by his influence and power already
buried in oblivion. The world moves,
and Great Britain must move with it,
such journals as the Gazette to the co1l-
| trarY notwithstanding.

REQUISITES for a Physician.

TO be successful physician woman
must be lady, a womanly woman. No
aping of masculine habits, dress or
foibles will conduce to success. She
must have an affinity for the work, feel
at home in the sick room, with desire
and tact to relieve suffering, devoid of
any morbid sensibility at sight of pain,
offensive deformities, and CHASTITY in
iuries and operations. She must be born
to command, firm in purpose and quick
to execute, at the same time have dignity
and self-control. Nothing must escape
her observation. She must be able to
reason from cause to effect, strong in
convictions, but slow to give an opinion.
She needs love for scientific research,
and the ability to apply herself to study.

IMPENITENT MURDERERs.

There is seldom Saturday, says the
Atlanta Californian, on which the
reader of the morning paper is not
greeted with the announcement of oneor
more hangings occurring The day before
In some part of the United States, and
by all odds the most remarkable feature
of these events is the number of men
who die protesting their innocence.
Last Saturday there was an account of
one of these obstinate criminals; not a
great many weeks ago, three out of five
murderers who were hanged IN single
day died with solemn affirmations of in
noeence upon their lips, and during the
last six months fully third of all who
have died upon the gallows have done so
in the same way. There are about $50
legal hangings per year in the United
States, and of these quarter or third,
or to say forty or fifty, annually go to
their graves obstinately denying their
guilt and refusing to ask the pardon of
God and their fellow-men. This pre-
sents very curious psychological prob
lem. We may assume that the number
of really innocent men hanged is infni-
tessimal. Perhaps one out of thousand
or two thousand is victim of circum-
stances, and wholly innocent of crime.
Bearing in mind the leaning of both law
and iuries to the side of mercy, we can
not estimate the average higher than the
figures we have given, and if this as
sumption is correct, practically all the
men who swear their innocence with

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER II, 1882.
OF INTEREST TO FOREIGNERS.

A question of citizenship of wide in
terest to persons of foreign birth has
been decided by Justice Harlan In
Springfield, III. A young man named
Kellar was indicted for illegal voting on
the ground that he was not naturalized
citizen of the United States. He was
born in Prussia, of which country his
parents were subjects. His father died
there in 1866, and subsequently the
mother with the son came to the United
States where, in 1868, she married
Michael Gaschka, natUralized citizen.
Young Kellar attained his majority in
May, 1880, and in the following Novem-
Der, without having been naturalized or
having saken any steps toward natural
ization, voted at the congressional cleo
tion in Illinois. The district attorney
claimed that no person of foreign birth
and parentage could become citizen
entitled to vote until he had been natur-
allied IN accordance with section 2, 167
of the revised statutes, regulating the
naturalization of foreign born minors.
Justice Harlan decides that such is not
the law. He finds other sections in the
revised statutes which have an important
bearing on the citizenship of foreign
born persons who come to this country.
He holds that the marriage of Mrs.
Kellar with a naturalized citizen of the
United States conferred citizenship both
upon her and her minor son, and that
therefore the latter, on reaching the
requisite age, became entitled to vote
without being naturalized.

Frank !yames Surreuders.

The Missouri public were considerably excit-
ed on the 9Th inst, by the announcement made
by Gov. Crittenden that Frank James, the out
law, had surrendered to the authorities. It
seems that both James and his wife have been
in correspondence with the governor for some
time trying to secure a promise of pardon in
case the outlaw surrendered himself and prom
ised to lead an upright life in the future. The
governor maintained that all talk concerning
amnesty was out of place until James had an
swered the charges against him in the courts.
IF, after a verdict had been rendered, con-
sideration of a question of pardon seemed
justifable. he would take it under Amusement.
Accordingly James gave himself up and was
sent to- Independence to be tried. When
James appeared before the governor he de-
liyered up his pistols with the statement that
he Cthe governor) was the only man except
himself who had touched the weapons for
twenty years. 1t is generally believed that he
will be pardoned after conviction by the courts
