Tho New English Sunday

Little by little tho dismal gravity of the
English Sunday is being broken up. Last
Sunday, by invitation, attended the Gros-
vcnor gallery, wherein the winter exhibit
ton, principally of Watts pictures, is being
held. A more delighted set of countenances
i never beheld than those of the persons
assembled there. They were principally OF
the middle and lower classes, and il is ex-
sctly for these people that the exertions to-
ward Sunday opening are being made.
Well.to-do folk can spare an afternoon and
ashilling when they like to go see pictures;
but Woodworking people have neither
the time nor the money TO devote to
pleasuring on week days. / had tickets for
three and took my two maid.servants, who
were simply delighted with what they saw
and have worked all the better in the house
every day since, in appreciation, am sure
OF their gratitude for the treat.-[Olivt

Sunday Advertising,

The Philadelphia American Times says
"There is sound reason in this disposition
Of advertisers to patroiize most literally
the Sunday papers. In the first place
they reach larger circle of readers; for
as a rule, papers which appear on every day
of the publish their largest edition on Sun.
day. Then, too, there are not only more
readers on other days, but their greater
leisure allows them to peruse the paper
more thoroughly. Many man who finds

that he scarcely give. glance to the adj
vertlsements will read them with cousid-
cradle care on bis day Of rest.n

How the Maiicy Boys Received tho News OF
Their Approaching Trial.

The news that their trial was set down
for next Tuesday was brought to the NAL
ley by Union reporter, who, on entering
their parlor cell, found Walter engaged in
writing in his note book, while James was
amusing himself by scrbbllng on a sheet of
legal cap. al am glad to hear that, said
both the boys together. ~ am glad, for it
makes the end so much nearear," added
Walter when ! came here | did not
think we would have to stay longer than a
week, and we have been here now eight
months"
James added that it had seemed long
while for them, and he was glad that at last
the trial would commence, for when over
they would be released With considerable
eagerness he inquired how long the reporter
thought the trial would last; aud when told
not less than six weeks, his look and tone
told plainly that he considered it altogether
too long
I'VE have stood it so long, and j guess
We can stand it a little while longer" said
Walter, consolingly, who then inquired ii
there would be many out-of-town reporters
in attendance. When told that in an prob
ability there would he, he expressed dis
gust, and said that he could see no reason
for it, as the testimony would only be the

Mr.. ROBERT T. VAN HORN, of Missouri,
delivered on the 18th instant the ablest,
clearest and most comprehensive speech
that was made on the question of the inn
provement Of the Mississippi River He
showed, in manner at once simple and
lucid, that the problem of the upper Mis-
sissippi is too little water, and the problem
Of the lower Mississippi too much, from
(which he deducted the very plain and COM
mon-sense axiom that what was required
for lhe upper river wonld not answer for
the lower. The thing to do in the upper
river, he demonstrated, was to conflne the
scanty water in such narrow banks natural
or artificial, as to make deep.water chan
mel. The thing to do in the lower river, he
showed, was to create such outlets as would
act as iood-mouths and carry of tho sur
plus waters In time of food. This is the
whole problem, stated in tho clear, concise
and compact terms of skilled journalist
and level-headed man.
