FATHER HYACINTHE PRAISES NATRI.
H0NY.

Father Hyacinthe is slipping away
from orthodoxy. He declared in the
Theater des Nations that Gambetta's
obsequies were to be regarded as re-
ligious ceremony. The funeral was
the negation of every kind of religion
that the father has habitually
preached. Republican freethinkers
vaunted their gay, bright paganism.
As l have no idea what the mis-en-
scene of an Athenian funeral in the
time of Pericles was like, / shall con-
tent myself with saying that the pro-
cession which escorted Gambetta's re-
mains to Pere la Chaise was thor
oughly Partisan.
Hyacinthe. in delivering his lecture
or sermon, stood behind a table that
was placed over the prompter's box.
The stage resembled drawing room
in the first empire style. Personal
friends and newspaper reporters were
ranged like choristers neaI the wings.
The father dresses like a priest. Do
mestic happiness shows itself in
burly figure. He might in Flemish
town pass for burgomaster. His
eyes have now a calm-an almost
placid expression.
In coming on the stage Hyacinthe
wore spectacles. which he took off
when he was lecturing. He had a
manuscript before him, on which he
now and then looked, as if to refresh
his memory. The friends near the
wings We're applausive, but the audi
tors in the pit and boxes were cold.
Hyacinthe extolled matrimony, aud
deplored the inveterate bachelorhood
of Gambetta. At this passage of the
lecture mild hear, hears were ut
tered in different parts of the house

what more than one child, for it had
two heads, two chests and four arms,

Each head has control of the leg on
its own side. The two faces are

THE QUIET LEVEL"

SAID Gen. Garfield in public dlrc-s.
One year after the uttcrance of these
words the lips that spoke them were
silent III death. And there are those
who remember that: he originator of
those words has said many things not
only worthy of passing notice, but
also which offer food for almost an
llllmltable amount Of thought. From
the years of life in that lowly log
cabin in the Ohio forest. and no
doubt from the influences fostered
IN the young mind by that noble mo-
ther, sprung mind whose works
shall so down in history as worthy of
a place beside those of Washington
and Lincoln; and how similar to the
latter has been the life of James \.
Garfield.
The Widow Garfield had prayed
that bright things might come through

Wished him to lead, but 1t seemed al
most hopeless when the boy left the

but still the mother hoped and prayed
for her boy. James came near losing
his life one night on the canal; he fell

ed him to try and make the rope kink
over the gunwale again; but we let
him tell what followed:
L have thrown TINS rope 600 times;
| might have thrown it ten times 600
without its catching; ten times GOO

against my life. Against such odds
Providence alone could have saved it.
Providence, therefore, thinks it is
worth saving; and if that's SO won't
throw it away on a canal boat. I'll
go and get an education and become
man.
We all know that our country has
been better off for the salvation of
that life; if in nothing else, it shows
the chances which lay before the
poorest and most lowly.

THE G.cLS IN A PANTOMIME.

Whilst the principals are being re-

women who have been collected to

of them are pretty enough, but many
more are exactly the reverse L can

classifying them III my mind i should
say they extended from the sewing
machine girl to tho daily governess
who is out of work Not dozen of
them are really we'll or cxpcnsively
dressed. The great majority adopt
that hideously vulgar English fashion
of imitation. The costume is shah
by imitation of the material used by Il
rich woman sham sealskins, sham
furs, Newmarkets made i'll wretched
stuff, and trumpery ornaments. For
| more attention Is paid to outside
smartness than to petticoats and
boots. A French woman would soon
cr wear clean petticoat and a smart
pair of boots than gay gown; but
these six hundred girls were for the
most part of the draggle-tail order,
and disgracefully shod. They were
members, most probably, of large
families, and necessity made them
contribute to the general purse. L
observe no fastness or frivolity at
all in this congregation of girls; they
were no more forward than the young
women who stream out of city ware
houses when work is done Some of
them were SO gentle and refined in
manner, that it seemed painful they
should be subjected to the rough Ian
guage that seems to be inseparable
from stage teaching.

discipline and example in a theater."
Yes, that is all very well, no doubt;
but L saw the blush start to one poor
girls's face when she was removed. l
saw her vince when she failed again
and again; and when she was sent
abont her business. and went tc the
back of the crowd, the tears fell
down her cheeks in showers. No

think of the disappointment of that
poor girl when she had to get back

friends she had been dismissed!

DOING AND NOT DOING.

Two things indicate character
what we have done and what we have
refrained from doing. The former
shows force, the latter self restraint.
as the following anecdote illustrates
Sir" said lad. coming down to
one of the wharves in Boston, and ad-
dressing a well known merchant, Sir,
have you any berth on your ship? l
want to earn something"
What can yon dog asked the gen
tleman.
II can try my best to do whatever
am put to do" answered the boy.
What have you done?"
Il have sawed and split all mothers
wood for nigh on two years"
What have you not done?' asked
the gentleman, who was queer sort
of questioner.
"Well, SIR answered the boy, after
a moments pause, Il have not wnis-
pered in school once for a whole
year"
That's enough" said the gentle
man; you may ship aboard this YES
sci, and hope to see you the master
of her some day. A boy who oan mas
ter a woodpile, and bride his tongue,
must be made of good stuff"
How MONTREAL GIRLS DREss-"I
must tell you how these girls dress"
said New York woman to her hus-
band. First, they start with flannel
from head to foot-and such flannel.
Why, it's an eighth of an inch thick.
Then they go on like other women,
except that they put on moro skirts.
and usually a quilted one that's warm
as wood fire. Then they put on a
dress. and over that chamois jacket
that fits like a shoe in the mud. Then
they put ribbed woolen stockings
over their stockings and arctics over
their shoes. They don't care any
more about the looks of their feet
than the St. Louis women do. Then
they put on their knit wristlets, then
gloves, then fur or cloth dolman.
then a fur cap, and finally a coil of
worsted comforters. When they are
dressed, if they are hurled at speed
of a mile a minute from a toboggan
they are unhurt. Ifthey fall through
the ice they are not wet. If the ther-
mometer drops to fifteen below zero
they read of it next day and wish
they had known it at the time

MILLI0NAIRES.

To be the richest man in America
is. next to becoming President of the
United States. probably the most
universal ambition that fills the
American breast. Before tho pres
ent era of stock watering and stock
swindling set in, this proud place was
universally conceded to Astor Com
modore Nanderbilt's high operations
with the New York Central, in donb-
ling the stocks as we'll rs doubling
the taxes imposed upon the shipping
and travelling pubic, changed all
that The Astors took the second
rank The Vanderbilts became the
richest people of the country. That
was a position which the Commodore,
and after him his son,the present out
spoken damner of the public. hugely
enjoyed. But the little sly fellow wEo
came there with n mousetrap, and
from catching mice turned to gob-
bling up railroads and telegraphs =
Jay Gould-changed all that. 1t soon
became whispered about that he was
the richest man of the country, par
ticularly when he made that famous
exhibition of $50, ,000,0 600 worth of Sc
curities. Ever since a very keen riv
airy and bitter jealousy has sprung
up between the two moguls.
When Vanderbilt is asked il Gould
is not a very rich man. he shakes his
head in very doleful fashion, as
though he meant to say. That man
will come to grief yet" Somebody
once told him about the report that
Gould was worth S15,00O.000 and
asked Vanderbilt whether he thought
it was true. Vanderbilt shook his
head as usual in an ominous manner
and said: We'll, L tell you STA, ,000,-
600 is good deal of money" As he
did so he stuck his legs on the table
of his sitting room, in his most beau
tiful palace, and went on to tell about
his own operations in stocks.
He does not relish being outdone
by Gould. He wants to be the very
first man-not the second; and the
thought fact, the mere suggestion
that Gould is plucking the laurels
as we'll as the dollars from him sets
him wild Whether it be this annoy
ance, or other disappointments in not
having made another 500, 100000 as
he expected, it is quite certain that
Eanderbilt's health has been very
poor of late His digestion is very
bad; and his diet has to be of the
most frugal sort. He dimes at six, is
hardly an hour at dinner, and at 8 he
already goes to bed. But even this
virtuous and humdrum life cannot
keep the keen, gnawing pangs of jeal-
ousy away from him. The big steam
yacht which Gould has been building
himself has given him renewed
