TIE American rife team, who are now
in England, are receiving the most defer
entail treatment. The coming match at
Wimbledon is expected to be the most
successful in many years. The Americana
need to be successful this year, as during
last year they were left badly by the Eng
lish shooters.

Magazine Notices.

The leading articles of The Magazine of
American History for December "a. s. Barnes
& Coz are devoted to the Pilgrim Fathers,
thus forming substantially New England
number, and one not only of special interest to
New England Societies on the recurrence of
the anniversary of the Landing OF the Pilgrims,
but to the country at large. Prof. Adams, of
the Johns Hopkins University, writes very
pleasantly of Plymouth Rock Restored, giving
some new views of Plymouth history. Dr. De
Costa has an article on a fresh subject Ply
mouth before the Pilgrims, showing what will
be new to many, that this place has a history
beginning with the year 1908, having received
its present name in 1916. Mr.. r. K Sewall,
of the Maine Historical Society, gives valu-
able sketch of the chief Samoset in his Rela-
ton to New England History. Prof. Newcomb
of the New York Free College, gives an ad-
mirable review of Summers Life of Andrew
Jackson; Mr.. Johnston has a sketch of The
Evacuation of s Charleston, s. c., 1888"
There is also valuable reprint of The Voyag
of Martin Pring, and documents showing VIII
the Pilgrims came over and what they be-
lieved; with original documents on William
Penn. The Notes and Queries will be found
fresh and timely, like the literary notices, A
beautiful steel portrait of Captain John Smith
forms the frontispiece, and variety of illus
tratiVe engrayings are added, including the
portrait of Miles Standish, view of Plymouth
Rock, the Blaskowitz Map, Champlains Plan
of Plymouth Harbof, etc. This number is ey-
cry way fresh, unique, important and timely.
while the magazine deserves the support of al
cultivated classes of society
The Continent opens the first number of Its
third volume with an illustrated article on the
group OF earnest men and women who made
Philadelphia an important station on the "Un-
derground Railway" in the early anti-slavery
days. Portraits Of DR.. Furness, Isaac T. Hop.
per, Lewis Tappan, Lucretia Mott J. Miller
McKim, Mary Grew and Grace Anna Lewis
have been especially engraved to accompany
the article, and will be highly valued by the
many who cherish the memory of these de-
parted champions of freedom. The second
illustrated paper is devoted to Art in the Qua
ker City, with drawings by number of the
artists who are represented in the present ex-
hibition of the Philadelphia Society. A note
worthy poem, entitled The Hearts Angel, is
by Philip Bourke Marston, the blind English
poet, who, as has recently been discovered, was
the subject of Mrs. Mulock Craik well-known
lyric, Philip, Ny King. The Old Year has an
page, with poem by Elizabeth W.
Griswold, and 1888 is welcomed by series of

by II. G.. Faulkner, in which the months ap-

THE trustees of a Baptist church IN
Poughkeepsie, New York, a few days ago
compelled their pastor to resign because an
'inhuential minority did not like him.
Exactly what the Influential minority"
which had more to say about the manage
ment of the society than the numerical but
not Influential majority, took umbrage
at does not clearly appear; but the local pa
pers say that, among other things, they
charged that once while riding in street
car he sharply rebuked two men who were
smoking cigars; that he wore flannel shirt
at watering place; that he put his food
into his mouth with knife instead of a
fork; and that he was seen sitting on sofa
with his wife, both eating from the same
banana. This goes to show that the "infu-
entail minority had very small soul and a
very un-Christian spirit. The lesson, how
ever, to be learned from the event has a
wider application Influential and power

style, the scribes and Pharisees of society

THERE appears to be no doubt of the de-
termination of the French Government to
take full advantage of De Brazzas claims in
its behalf in the Congo region. A mission
10 TO be sent out under the auspices of the
Ministries of Foreign affairs and Public In
struction. The latter department is con-
nected with the project to live it a civilizing
character. A number of trading stations
will probably be instituted with regular lines
of communication. The Administration
asks the Chamber for credit of 1,275,000
francs in behalf of the enterprise. Mean
while Stanley, to whom in poetic justice the
leadership in opening up the country to the
civilized world belongs, is compelled to see
his Belgian company virtually squelched.
Belgium will scarcely care to enter into Sc
rious trouble with so powerful a nation as
France about African matters.

IT seems that Cetewayo is not to have
his kingdom back again after all, according
to the present official programme. Zulu
land is to be partitioned among several claim
ants, and the ex-king is only to have moi
ETY. of his former dominions, while even in
the section over which he is to reign his au-
thority will not be paramount. He is to
play some such part as that assigned to the
K edive of Egypt, and serve as stalking
horse for the convenience of his British
friends. In other words, they are to be the
real rulers of the country, and Cetewayo
will only be one of their employees. That is
not very dignified role for the ex-sover-
eign to take, but he will probably accept it
on the ground that half loaf is better than
no bread; and it is not an easy thing for
kings who lose their situations to get new
place.

knows it all. Enter tired man, who drops
into seat, and says that he wants treatment.
The doctor puts on his eye glasses, looks at his
tongue, feels his pulse, sounds his chest, and
then draws up to his full height and says:
''Same old story, my friend. Men can't live
without fresh air. No use trying it, could
make myself corpse, like you are doing by de-

long walks, and brace up by staying out doors.

BoTH Tilden and Tammany desire Gov.
Cleveland to pass out the few Republican
clerks now in the employ of the State Sen

John Kelley has nothing to regret in the

For condition of profound peace there
is good deal of coming and going, fetching
and carrying, ordering of guns, comforting
and assuring, between the ministerial agents
of Russia and the German court. Russia is
SO peaceful that she has just ordered a new
stock of guns from Herr Krupp, of Essen.
Germany, we are humorously assured,
makes no objection to this peaceful traffic,
but is pushing the military railways vigor-
ously toward the Russian frontier.

The Republican element in Italy seems
to be very foolishly mixed up with the ma
tional hostility to the Austrian Empire, and
to be regarded as somewhat dangerous by
reason of its leadership of the national pro-
pensities toward territorial annexation in
the direction of the Austrian province of Is
tria and portion of the Tyrol, in which the
italian language is spoken. Very probably
some bargain may have been made with Ger
many on that subject that is still unful-

THE considerable degree of civilization
attained by the Yankton Sioux Indians
naturally encourages the much despised hui
manitarians. These people have been set
tied on reservation in Dakota for good
many years; they have learned to support
themselves by farming, and have taken up
parts of their reservation in severalty. The
tribe numbers about 500 families, and occu-
pies sc, 600 of the 400 600 acres in the reserva-
ton. The Indians are now disposed to sur
render the rest of their territory to the Gov
eminent, which will open it to white settlers.
What has been done in the case of these ma
tives can be done with others. How much
better this plan is than cheating the red
skins, and then shooting them because they
resent it!

ANOTHER outbreak of unreasoning and
oppressive violence against the Jews on the
part of the Russian authorities is reported,
and it looks as though the intention was to
drive them into exile. 1t is not very polite
on the part of the St Petersburg officials to
indulge in such envious and malignant pas
sion against a patient and prosperous race.
The finances Of Europe are largely in the
hands of Hebrew bankers, andin case Russia
wanted to raise a forced loan in hurry,
the goodwill Of the Rothschilds would be
worth having. It is true that money is not
lent on sentiment, but when the balance is
is nearly even, SO light a thing as senti-
ment will sometimes suffice to turn the

gives rise to thoughts that the
author never visited the sanctum
when business was in full blast. If
he had called about midnight, for
instance, he would have seen two
Sandstone porting over proof-slip,
the other holding the copy; and the

Editors Herald:
The suggestion of Hon. D. H.
Wells, in the City Council a few
days ago, that the rock piled up at
a bridge on Fifth East street, south
of Liberty Park, be used promptly
for the repair or enlargement of the
bridge, as evidantly intended, is
good, except that it is a little too
soon or a little too late. The time
Of high water is not a good time to
build bridge. After high water is
better.
There ought to be substantial
guard rails at the sides of bridges
where the streams or the chasms
are deep and consequently danger
ous-such bridges as one on the
canal that crosses Jordan street, and
one on the State road near the
city.
There ought to be good wagon
bridge over that streem, that feeds
Pugsley's mill, on Second West
street.
The bridging or flaming of streams
where they cross roads is an excel
lent thing anywhere, especially in
or near a city. But the bridges OF
fumes should be kept in
good repair for in this
as in many other matters, "a stitch
in time saves nine" There are
several fumes in the city that have
holes in the tops of them, as well
as at the ends-tWo or three on
fifth East street. in which con
dition they have bean more thar
one week or two. On the State
Road the planking Of bridge, just
Isouth of the city, is beginning tt
break up. Further south, near the
"Budweiser," whatever that may
mean, there is a bridge, the grave
on which has been working off
without hindrance or replacement
for several weeks, and now, as
natural consequence, the plankin!
is beginning to give way. Eterna
| vigilence is the price of gOOC
| bridges, fumes, and roads generally
