THE Russians always do things
on large scale. In one Of their
custom houses there has been
steal amounting to fortv-six mil
lion dollars. There are a good
many people in the United States
who have an idea that everything
is honest ins the. civil service of
other countries, because it is not
often that there are public sean
dals. The occasional glimpses
that are given justify the belief
that there are q thousand times
more corruption in Europe. It is
to be borne in mind that the Eu-
ropean press does not take upon
itself the functions of an accnser
or grand jury, and that when any
thing is said about rascality, it has
already been proven by the rep
resentatives Of the government
who made the investigation. In
our own land, considerable part
of the press is always trying 10
prove that the public men on the
other side are great rascals; and
the majority Of the, accusations
are without foundation.

The noise about South

The noise about South Ameri-
can matters was evidently started
for the purpose of injuring Blaine,
and the first reports were we'll cal
culated to effect that object.
Since he commenced TO talk back,
Affairs present very different ap-'
pearance, and it now seems as if
those who began the onslaught
would have been better pleased
had they kept silent. 1t is un-
fortunate that his opponents
should attempt to raise a question
of veracity between him and the
President! 1t must result badly.
1t was long since predicted that
Blaine might be abused into a
nomination, and it begins to look
that way. His enemies could not
aid him more materially than by
keeping him before the public by
their constant onslaughts. Il viii
naturally force him into the posi-
ton of that great clement of the
Republican party who are opposed
to any third term and the regency
of the Conkling-C Caineron-Logau
triumvirate.

The New Appertionment.

THE number of Representatives
in the next House has been fixed
at three hundred and twenty-five.
This was the highest number men
tined in the calculations of the
Superintendent of the Census.
Several were of the opinion that
the House was too large now, with
two hundred and ninety-three
members, and, that instead of in
creasing the size, the number
should be made less. Others
argued that there should be at least
six hundred members in our Ma
tional Legislature and worked
hard to have high figures named
in the bill. Under the present re-
gime the ratio of representation is
$4,000. Under the new it will
be 151, ,906. The following States
are affected:
Gains-Arkansas, l; California,
2; Georgia, l; Illinois, 1; Iowa, 2;
Kansas, A; Kentucky. 1; Massa-
chusetts, /; Michigan, 2; Mime
sofa, L; Mississippi, 1; Missouri, l.;
Nebraska, 2; New York, /; North
Carolina, i; Ohio, /; Pennsyl-
vania, 1; South Carolina, 2; Texas,
5; Virginia, 1; West Virginia, l.,
and Wisconsin l.
Losses-Maine, /; New Hamp'
shire 1, and Vermont l.
No other States are changed.
1t will be noticed that the loss
falls on New England. Tins will
give thirty-Gve new seats in the
next House. OF these the South
will get fifteen, the North twenty
and those last figures come pretty
near showing how it will affect the
next House politically.

The Drift Towards Prohibition.
s. s. Magazine.

Few people realize the progress
that is being made in this country
in the Temperance cause. DIR. Dan
iel Dorchester shows by facts in
the Christian Advocate how strong
is the drift towards Prohibition.
He cites, first, the long record for
Prohibition of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, the shorter record
of Kansas, and the recent Prohibi-
ton victory in Iowa. Probably not
less than ten other States, he adds,
are moving for Constitutional
Amendment similar to that lately
adopted by Iowa. Under ''local
optionn Prohibition; obtains in
quite a number of towns and
cities in New Jersey; in Logan
county, Media, and other places in
Pennsylvania; in nearly all the ru-
raj districts in South Carolina; in
fOrty-two counties, besides church
and school neighborhoods in Geor-
gia, equal in all to one-half the area
of the State; in ten to fifteen cOun-
ties and numerous districts in Ala
bama; in large districts in Missis-
sippi; in many parishes in Louisi-
ana; in about One-half the State,
under the "four-mile law" in Ten
nessee; in large sections in Arkan-
sas; in several counties in Texas.
The votes given in various State
Legislatures in 1881, cited by DIR.
Dorchester also, are significant.
In Wisconsin the vote in the House
stood 81 yeas to 80 nays. In that
State in 1873, $4,000 people petition
ed for Prohibition; in 1879, 10000;
in 1880, 100000; and a still larger
number in 1881. In Pennsylvania
the vote in the House was 100 to 50,
the measure failing in the Senate.
In Michigan the House voted 63 to
33, the Senate 21 to 10--the neces-
sary two-thirds being wanting by
only one vote in the House and by
three votes in the Senate. In Ne
braska the record was 40 to %; in
Ohio, in the House II to Is, in the
Senate 20 to ii (lost by four votes
in Illinois, House 46 to 81, Senate
Is to 81; in Nebraska, 49 to 2S; in
West Virginia, 40 to 20 in the
House; in Arkansas, House 66 to
IT; in Texas, House 81 to 81, Senate
% tot. Here are a large number of
majorities that bid fair before long
to increase to the requisite two
thirds. The Temperance skies evil
IDENTIFY are Frightening. t f..

A Plea for Your WIfe.

Do you know the secret anxieties
and suflerings ofy wife? IL
you do not you should. For years
she has toiled indoors. She has
cooked and washed and sewed and
busted and swept and waited AMI
watched for the small pittauce you
have dOled out to her. That pitt
tance has not been simply u con.
temptible trifie in money, but
more contemplate trifle Of genuine
out-spoken sympathy and tender
ness. You are butfetted and crowd
ed in the business places OF life,
You have learned amid hard usage
to grow sturdy and muscular. You
are accustomed every day TO deal
ing with things which require from
you the voice of authority and de-
cision. In all this there IL nothing
to cultivate tenderness OF feeling, of
tone or Of manner. When you
come into your house you meet
timid, retiring woman who has
been shut in all the long hours
struggling against dependency.
She has waited for you. The tears
are already in her eyes. II tho
husband cannot sympalhize, who
will? Now can you not drop your
gruff manner aud voice for the few
moments you must spend at home,
and be tender, gentlen and contlding ?
Why do you not sit down and draw
your wife to you as you did when
you first sought her in that home
which you robbed her OF but never
replaced? 1t Is not enough that
you mean all this. She sees your
look and manner and hears your
voice. If these are gentle and ten
der and wOjing, she will open her
heart 10 you, but If otherwise she
will reprcss the tear for the mo-
ment, but IL Will flow when you
are gone. tt .HF Ir.
The world is full of unspOken
bitterness, all because men take
things for granted. OF course sho
will find sympathy If she will
bring her burdens and unravel
them. OF course she is loved and
thought of and planned for. All
this Is not enough but thousands
never find il out until the black
horses and the hearse convey the
tired and worn out body Of the long
waiting one to the only rest she has
ever had. ..F ............

Sermon to the C. C. G.,s

The Rev. p. A. Fits, chaplain of
the G. g. G.'s, preached an eloquent
and impressive sermon to the COM
pany on Sunday, the 18th ult., at
Trinity Episcopal Church. His
text was taken from the 18th chap
ter of Proverbs, part of the nth
verse:
"7e that a.uIeth his oa0R spirit as
greatey. than he Who taketh q city,"
The text was aptly chosen, clo-
quently, forcibly and beautifully
expounded. lie admonished them
that this was not the age OF person
al proves, OF physical courage, 10
matter how admirable those quail
ties were. That age had passed,
the history of the world was replete
with acts of heroic physical courage
and endurance. Men had no lon-'
ger to establish such reputation.
The subject had been exhausted, it
was no longer an open question;
no man longer doubted these things,
but this was emphatieally an age of
moral courage, of Christian chival-
ry, an illustration of the text, "that
he that ruleth his own spirit is
greater than he who taketh
city," f'i41+ =
He showed how the life of sol
dier was not inconsistent with that
a chivalrous Christian gentleman,
pointing to the illustrious examples
of Lee, Jackson and others. This
was an age of peace, but they still
had great warfare to wage against
appetite, against passion, against
the Kingdoms, powers and rrinci-
palities of evil. If their organiaa-
ton meant good to themselves if
their brilliant and beautiful uni
forms meant that they were to be
the guardians of good government
and society, they must also be the
soldiers or Christ. They were in the
midst of a great battle, real and earn
est, ,ifthey were to conquer they must
put on the armor OF God. The bat
tie of Christ was waging and they
must go forth to fight in his cause,
&C., &c.
His sermon was one OF the most
and stirring the COM
pany has listened to since it has
been in organization, and was at
tentively listened to by the soldier
boys, as well as very large congre-
CATION.
