day addressed, Mis- Sallle Eiuns, pustoffice,
Philadelphia" aud which npon being open
ed by the clerks was found to contain oue
of Jay Hubbell's circulars calling upon
Miss Sallie Tor per cent. Of her salary.
No une seemed to be acquainted with Miss
Binns, and the postofice authorities were at
q loss as to how to locate her until one of
the colored attaches informed the postmas
ter that Miss Sallie Binus was one of tho fel.
line guardians OF the cellar. The cat was
at once brought up and the circular read TO
her, but she was evidently not good Re.
publican, for she made several efforts IN es.
caps while it was being read, aud finally
burst through the assembled crowd and re
joined her associates in the cellar, where
her story was greeted with many expires
sions of earnest sympathy. 1t is feared that
Miss Sallie Binns will soon b. pronounced u
bad mouser and asked to give way to a cat
that understands better the Hubbel prlnci-
pie of division.

The First Bishop of Newcastle, England,
is Rev Ernest Roland WiIbcrforc,, third
son ofthe well-known Dr. Samuel Wilber-
force. OF him an English paper says -
He is recognized leader Of thought in the
National Church, and has become famous
for his earnest advocacy Of those swce L.
ing reforms which have lent such strong
vitality to our ecclesiastical system" One
for which he has done heroic work by the
side OF his brother Basil. One of his best
speeches for the cause was given at Lambeth
Palace, at the annual meeting Of the Church
of England Temperance Society. April 25th
In this remarkably fine address he likens
the growth aud existence Of this society to
that of the Church OF Christ born in insigni
fcance, kindling light at first 10 the hearts
of few which gradually burned its way into
the life of the nation. Like the Church,
also, it has won its way up)n the in telicc-
tual p@rt Of the people, and lastly, as the
Church's last great triumph was won in the
Legislative assembly, so this beuefcent re-
form shall, in Gods time, pass into law by
the will of the nation With such men as
Canon Farrar and the Wilberforces at the
helm the Temperance cause Of England
must steer into tie harbor Of that good

The END or SIN.-"Many have yielded
to 90 n mile with Satan who never intended
to go with him twain; but, when once on

LACK OF INTEREsT.-We are frequently
panied to notice the indifference, manifested
In regard to the temperance question by
many excellent Christian women. They,
have never felt any Inconvenience on ac.
count ofthe traffic in liquor; they have never
come into immediate contact with any
suffering caused By it, and they have only
vague ideas that such suffering exists. Let
them once be made to realize what danger
lmpcnds over them and all their friends,
and they will at once become interested in
the matter.
FROM veay earnest appeal made by
Judge Crosby to the women of Lowell Mass.
we extract the following: 81 call upon you
for your own personal protection. In life s
stream there are cross currents, eddies and
falls, and though you may be abstihent your.
selves, you know not what drunkard may
meet you on the street, enter your houses
when unprotected, what mishaps may come
upon you from drinking servants, the drivers
VI your teams, managers OF cars IN which you
may ride or boats in which you may traverse
the waters. the mills and shops 10 which you
work,-everywhere and at at all times from
hres aud disasters occlsioDed by carelcssne s
and unfaithfulness of people of irregular
habits Who is to lose by sobriety? Who
does not gain by abstinence?
"We are toling for you and yours We
desire to chain the rumseller instead of Civ
ing him rope; to shut up his den ofin;quity
that weak or hardened men-men of appe
titc and irrosolution-- find it difficult
to crafty their longngs, and Of necessity
must gain time and consideration to see the
awful precipice before them, and thus be
led again in paths of peace, comfort and
prosperity. y."-LeOer

WOMAN'S WORK.

The time has gone BY when men can ask
with sneer what is womau's work ? Her
field of labor has been wonderfully enlarged
and her power and usefulness become too
well recognized to be ignored The mark :
cd Improvement in he. education has not
only given tone and strength 20 her charac.
ter but it has placed ia her hands that Won
derful lever which intellect and culture on
ls can supply. She thiuks for herself and
acts for herself, tied down by no couven.
tional ideas of what it is proper for her 20
do
The only one great question that presents
itself, is she right? Is it womauly? She
has learned to use her wit and her pen in
TIC reform Of humanity aud dares to step to
the front and speak out, not in words of
scorn and bitterness but in rds Of tcudcr
ness and love, to scducs the wauderer from
those ways that lead to ruin.
Who has better right to make appeals
than che mother who rocked the cradle. or
the sister who has felt the burning shame, or
wife who has endured the torture of a
drunkard's home. 1t is WON ems work and
women's ri sht to do and dare all she can to
save society from this hdeous leprosy which
Is the curse Of the age.

The PLAGUE OF STRONG DRINK. The
annals of this dreaicd plague speak to u.s.
in tones which cannot but M oSe, and deeply
move US, with its increase and the misery
that marks its progress The pencil Of tbo
painter and the creations of the poet repro
duce fer us the sad spectacle Of the waste
aud DISSOLUTION Of war. Men die, and the
cause for which they die takes from us tho
sense of privation; death reflects back its
balo on their lives. The waste Of homes and
the sufferings that hostile armies produce,
are like the elements that rage, but spend
their rage, and peace resumes her place.
But strong drink brings no glory with it.
Its waste and its desolation are never relieved
And the death which follows its indulgence
is connected only with the picture of the de-
graded victim it has compassed within its
merciless fnlds.
1t ne Ids not that I should tell you of this
great and growing and death-causiug evil
| need not lift the curtain so closely drawn
around many hearthstone and show you
the sad picture it tries to conceal
The man himself, so nobly fashioned in
form, in reason admirable, in apprehen sion
s, like god, sunk to the lowest point Of
social degradation, pointed at, scoffed at,
dead, while living, to every noble and
honorable impulse.
The wife so proud Of him who was the
light of her eye, whose life was only in his
wretched, heart broken, sick, wasting her
ebbiug strength in waiting his return to his
homc-tha return that comes ut last, bu
such a return better bad it never come.
Aud when the light of morning COMES, it
reveals to her his dctormity aud her misery
greater than the merciful night had allow,
ed her to realize.
And the child, startlinsly aroused from
its sleep, gazes with wondering, aching eyes
upon the sad spectacle of its father, and
crouching, buries its head that it may shut
out frou, its sight the picture Of its parent.
Honor, that was dearcr than life, is to
him an unmcaning word. Trust, that no
human power could have forced him to
betray, is to him only worth the barter
he may make of it for his indulgence
Human responsibility he has ceased TO
understand, and tba, which is due to a
Higher Power his druyged and distempered
reason torbids him to comprehend
His home is gone, his hope is lost and
the prayer of his family is that this mercy
may be vouchsafed to them-tha, his
grave, dishonored as it must be, may be not
marked as that of teion.
Is this not So? Look round you. Your
eyes will not travel far. Your power of
association will not be taxed too much to
recall the living instances Of the truth of
this picture.
There is scarce one who in the experience
OF life has not seen and known some, per-
haps all of these sad phases of Il life given
this to indulgence Hon A. G.. .MryraM

every 90, aad California, with one for every
49, From this point there is jump to
New York, New Jersey and Oregon, each
OF which has one saloon to few less than
200 inhabitants. The least number of
saloons is found in South Carolina, where
there is one to every 910 inhabitants; Kan

The investigation has developed the fact
that the assets Of companies under investi-
cation, in December preceding their failure.

tain legitimate reductions should be made
amounting to 81, 7s3 1893, leaving $40, 234. $40

Out of this sum the receivers have paid divi-
dends amounting to 81. 1926 900, and further
dividends aggregating 81, 900 are vet ex-
pected. This is q total of 81, zoo. 900 divi-
dends and is to be divided among the cred
itors, taken from the total assets originally in
