1t is said by some philosophers that
periodical wars are necessary to keep
down an over population--to reduce
the surplus Of humanity, as it were.
This being true, we have in mind no
other country ON the globe which
could so well afford to have a war as
China. Here IS an idea for the Pa
GIfic coast congressman to prevent
Chinese immigration: Let them
encourage the French to decimate
the population Of the Celestial empire

Lincoln and the Quakeress.

During the war Mrs. Gurney, an emil
Rent Quakeress, sought an interview
with Mr.. Lincoln IN ocder to animate his
spirit by exhOrtation and prayer. One
rainy Sunday ming she, in company
with three Friends, saw the President in
his private room at the White House
In a short address she assured him of the
sympathy which she and the Friends felt
for the burden-bearing Executive. She
then knelt IN fervent prayer for him and
the country. AS Mrs. Quincy was leav-
in the President took her hand, and,
holding it for a few moments in silence,
said II am glad of this interview. In
the very responsible situation In which
am placed, as an humble instrument In
the hands of my Heavenly Father, ]
have desired that all my words and &C
tions may be in accordance with His
will but il, after endeavoring to do my
best with the light which He affords me,
find my efforts fail, then I must believe
that for some purpose unknown to me
He wills it otherwise. Ii [ had had my
way this war would never have been,
but nevertheless it came. If / had had
my way the war would have ended before
this, but nevertheless it still continues
We must conclude that He permits il
for some wise purpose, though We may
not be able to comprehend it. For we
can not but believe that He who made the
world still governs it. !"

There's some trouble again about
the authorship Of Beautiful Snow"
1t may be remarked, just mere, paren-
theticaliy, that the question of the
authorship Of ''Blighted Hopes" has
been satisfactorily settled and the
wave Of ''mclanoholy despair" that
surged along Second street has gone
up the spout, But that does not help
to elucidate the Beautiful Snow
mystery. The Chicago Tribune
achieved a journalistic sensation the
otherday by printing it rs a new and
original poem. It's highly probable
however, that the poetical editor of
the Appeal will, "bv reason of his
broad culture and extended literary
experience be allie 10 Ge.e.t the
fraud and give the public the name of
the real author Of beautiful Snow"
