to save them and keep them. remember one
Of the darkest nights in my life. I was all
alone in my room, and had received a letter

not sleep, feeling as though I were forsaken
by all. About o'clock cat crept into my

THE Russian government papers comment
angrily on the agitation in England concern

time for christendom to arise and crusade
Russia to stop the slaughter and
persecution Of this innocent and helpless race.

DIR. HERRIcK JOHNSON, il communities

biting presentation of the case, attempts 10
prove from the daily papers the degradation OF
| the Chicago theater It Is claimed by many
that his onslaught, though tremendous, is
unanswerable. At any rate it would seem
that the citizens well inclined to good morals,
and the virtue and proprieties Of social life in
the "Garden City, should give the subject
their heedful attention.
! A CONTEMPORARY says: Oscar Wilde is
hum Juggling our people with his knee-breech-
es. He is going it on his "shape." He is
trading on his eccentricities. These latter
are put on for notoriety and gain among his
''Yankee cousins and dupes. He never re-
sorts to the knee breeehes eccentricity in Eng
land. In his native land he goes into society
in the habit and manner Of an ordinary NOR
tai. Here he presents himself as an exagger-
ated sample of humanity. His course in this
country will beget for him ridicule, and he
will fail in acquiring social standing or in
gaining personal respect.
| WALTER SCOTT is said once TO have asked his
amanuensis, William Laidlaw, what he
| thought the moral influence of his writings
had been. Laidlaw replied that, his works
were the delight of the young, and to have
| reached their hearts was surely good work
to have done. Scott was deeply affected by
this reply, almost to tears. To have produced
such beneficial influence on youthful hearts,
| was, indeed, ample reward for such remarka-
BILE authorship, as was his.
| THERE has been no little excitement in the
English possession OF Gibralter over the ap-
pointment of DR.. Gonzale Camilla as Vicar
Apostolic over The fifteen thousand Roman
Catholics there. The laymen of Gibralter
possess the right of administering the tempo
raj affairs in connection with the Vicar
Apostolic. The present appointee is young
and is not regarded by the laymen as possess
ing the dignity and rank that should belong
to the Office. His attempts to take possession
have been resisted by force and he has not
been allowed to take possession of the official
residence attached to the cathedral.
"THE wise man. said the preacher, in his
sermon to young men, 'makes It a point to
learn something wherever he is, and from
everybody he meets. no matter Now uninYit-
| ing the place or person may seem. II he hap
pens into cobbler's shop, he picks up there
bit OF information that will serve for an Illus
tration. This trait of picking up knowledge
from everybody is difference between the
wise man and the unwise. But then, another
difference quite as important, the wise man
knows just how and when to arrange and use
what he gets. It is possible to have great
| deal of learning and a very little Of wisdom"

that every sermon should be full of Biblical
