Workers Training Glass.

At recent Young Mems Meeting eight
young men requested to be remembered in
prayer Some were backsliders, some uncon
verified, and some weak in faith, and weak in
works. After the close of the meeting the Sec
rotary noticed that no effort was made by any
one to follow up, by private conversation the
good impressions produced. The imperative
necessity of an intelligent corps of workers to
deal with inquirers was apparent, and calling a
few young men into an adjoining room the sub
iect was laid before them.
They were asked what they would do in the
case of being approached by seeker after truth
who had intellectual difficulties" or one who
had stood aghast at the inconsistencies of
Christians" or one who wished to know the
way but did not wish to follow it to night :" or
if they approached some one and he answered
that 4" he was afraid he could not hold out" and
so on. They were able to give general re-
sPonses to the questions, but were entirely at
sea when requested to assign scriptural reasons
and to show where such could be found in Gods
word. A class was formed at once and the class,
which will be limited to twelve for the present
will meet every Tuesday night at $50 in the
Committee Room.-AssociGtjon Ne,cs Rich

Earl Spencer

The World is responsible for the following
extraordinary statement" Lord Spencer must
lead a terrible life at the Viceregal Lodge he
is, in fact, very much in the position of the Car
of Russia. All visitors are watched closely
from the Phoenix Park gates until they arrive
at the Viceregal Lodge door. Mounted police
men patrol the avenues and roads of the park :;
detectives Turk in the bushes and soldiers guard
the approaches. Not long ago there was a
cricket match on the Viceregal ground. In
times gone by the public were freely admitted
inside the haha fence but not a soul was per
mitted in the demesne upon this OCCASION No
wonder that Lord Spencer has lost his old pirits
and manner. When he drives to the Castle IN
Dublin he is not even allowed to 90 by the same
road two days following A Dublin CORES.
pendent sends an account of the state of things
when his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant goes
out for drive on his drag. Lord Spencer has
lately taken to driving tour in hand, but must
still be escorted by the dragons. who have to
follow the coach and-really it is rather absurd
all who have the honor of accompanying the
Lord Lieutenant are warned not to start with
out their revolvers Surely his Excellency
would be an easy shot in his elevated position
though the rest of the party could take very
good aim in return"

A fRIGllTfUL AFFAIR.

In the suburbs of Scranton at one
o'clock last Friday morning, a miner
named Cook was dying of smallpox.
His wife and babe were in the same
room on the ground floor. Mrs Cook,
in accordance with her belief as Cath
olic, placed lighted candle in the hand
of the dying man. and then knelt beside
him to pray. Being overcome by the
fatigue and worry of several days and
nights of constant attendance on her
husband, she fell asleep. The candle
burned down between the rigid fingers
of the dying man and set the bed on fire.
Mrs. Cook and the babe were soon over
come by suffocation. A crowd gathered
at the window outside, but no one would
90 in, so great was their terror of the
pestilence AT length two men broke
through the door and carried out the
mother and child in state of stupor
Cook was dead and the flesh was falling
from his bones because of the heat.
The body was removed with difficulty
and the fire extinguished. His wife IL
now able to tell of the circumstance
leading to the tragic affair, but it II
thought that she cannot recover, and the
child will also die.

Nothing of importance has been done
in Congress during the past week. On
Monday bill was introduced in the
House prohibiting Chinese immigration
and one to reduce the salaries of public
officers. 1t fixes the salary of the presi-
dent at $4,000; members of congress,
$1,000; heads of departments, $1,000;
chief Justice of the supreme court, 3d.
5OO assistant justice, $4,000. The day
in the Senate was devoted to eulogies on
the dead Senator from Rhode Island,
General Burnside. Senator Anthony of
fered fitting resolutions, and addresses
were made by Messrs. Hampton, Ed
munds, Ransom, Hawley, Harrison,
Jones of Florida, Hale and Aldrich In
the House addresses were made by sew
eral members aud there was an early
adjournment.
The House passed the fortification bill
on Tuesday, appropriating S395,OOO
The department estimate was S4,O0O,0OO
In the senate, Senator. elect Dill, of Iowa
was sworn in, and the credentials oi
Senator-elect Wilson, of the same state
were referred.
Mr.. Bell introduced bill appropriat
ing $4,000 for the present wants OF the
widow of President Lincoln, and increas
ing her present pension to $4,000 pei
annum; which was adopted.
The debate on the Sherman three pei
cent bill was then resumed and con
tinued to adjournment.
On Wednesday there was a lively de
bate over the bill to relieve Justice Hunt
of the Supreme Court, and the bill final
ly passed by a vote of 1877 to 80. There
can be no doubt that the place of Judge
Hunt should be filled by some one com
petent to perform judicial duties, but il
is an outrage that the people are com

The New York Tribune, which had
previously indicated its disposition to
make war on Mr.. Arthur by styling him
the "ad interim" president, under the
guise of circuit of the worlds history
for 1881 gives him another stab under
the fifth rib. 1t declares in this review
that the American year begins with the
date of Mr.. Garfelds assassination and
ends with his death, and most artfully
ascribes the crime to Stalwartism by
noting that when the New York Sena-
tors resigned "this insignificant creature
named Guiteau began to look about for
a pistol" While the balloting for their
successors was goirg on 'the insignificant
creature named Guiteau had, meanwhile,
bought a pistol and used it. When ar
rested he exclaimed: 81 am Stalwart
and want Arthur for president" In his
coat pocket letter was found addressed
''to the White House" in which he de-
clared that the presidents death was
necessary ''to unite the Republican party
and save the republic" Arthurs ap-
pointment of New York secretary of
the treasury VIRTUALLY involved the re.
tirement of the best equipped postmas-
ter general the country has ever had,
although his retention was particularly
desirable owing to the disclosures made
in the mail service. Further, says the
Tribune: "Perhaps the greatest shock
which he has given to the public con-
seriousness was the substitution Of ex
Senator Howe for the ideal postmaster
general whom President Garfield had
selected.
President Garfield had taken four men,
bers of his cabinet from the main body
that nominated him and three from he
powerful minority that had voted for a
third term. In recognizing that cal i
net, President Arthur has retired three
of the majority wing; substituted for
them representatives, of the minority fac.
ton; aud he has also replaced one
member of the minority by a more com
plant representative. The completion
of this work has been deferred to the
new year"

"BUCKwHEAT CAKES AND THE MEASLES.
When a young husband had gone
from heme, and with fond solicitude tel
egraphed his little wife,-"what have
you for breakfast, and how's the baby?'
he received the brief, suggestive re-
ply,-"Buckwheat Cakes and the Mea
sles." We have the report of case in
our midst, not where Measles was in the
bill of fare, but where Sciatic Rheuma
tism confined Mr.. J. Dawson, the well
known druggist, to his room for long
period. 1t was stated to our reporter IL
the following words: The senior of thi.
firm was attacked with Sciatic Rheuma
tism December last, and for four weeks
could scarcely leave his room. He used
st. Jacobs Oil, and is now able to be al
his place of business, feeling no worse
for his recent afiiiction. The inference
is convincing.
