SUNDAY TRAVEL.

large number of people in this country
 really believe that it is wrong to run railroad
 trains on Sunday and therefore that it is mol
 necessary to do so. large number think 1 that it is necessary and therefore right.
 Meanwhile Sunday trains continue to run,
 and there is no sign that they will soon be
 discontinued or their number lessened.
 This question and also the whole Sunday question has recently been considered by the
 Supreme court of Kentucky. The suit WAS a
 prosecution by the Attorney-G General, on be-
 half of the State, against the Louisville and
 Nashville railroad company. seeking to sup
 press the general Sunday business The
 court decided that the exigencies of modern
 commerce render some movement of trains
 on Sunday necessary work. The opinion
 contained the following: Railroad oompan-
 ies nov furnish meals and sleeping apart
 ments, and to require train to delay it's journey that passengers may go to a hotel
 to enjoy the Sabbath, where the same labor
 must be performed for them, or to require them to remain on the train where the con- pany must provide for them as hotel would
 will not effect the purpose of dimin ishine Sunday labor. Besides, a necessity for reaching the place of destination must exist in many instances. Also, to detain trains carrying live stock, fruits, vegetables, etc., would work great injury. Similar consider ations support the use of street railroads in towns. Persons who have not their own vehicles travel by street cars to places of worship, etc. And there are so many in- stances of necessity that no inquiry can be permitted as to the business or destination of any individual traveller by either kind of road or as to the character of any particular kind of freight. Nor should person desir- ing to hire horse be compelled to disclose his purpose in order to protect the livery man. Such employments are necessary and not within the prohibition of the statute. The common sense as well as the moral sen- timent of the country says that the merchant who sells, the farmer who blows, the carpen- ter who builds, or the saloon keeper who supplies liquor on Sunday, are each violating the Sunday law. The ordinary customs of the country teach them that to pursue such employments on the Sabbath is wrong But everyone can realize the distinction between such avocations and that of transporting traveller to his home, or others demanded by the practical wants of trade.
 This is very sensible and forcible presen- tation of what may be called the practical side of the matter. Those who do not think it sound will have much difficulty in proving it to be unsound.

and missionary stations. In Scotland there are bishops, 306 priests and 295 chapels. For England and Wales there is archbishop, with 14 suffragans and ? auxiliary bishops, and for Scotland archbishops, with suffra- gans. These numbers are about double those in the directory published just before the constitution of the hierarchy in 1850. Farther, there are 29 Roman Catholic peers who have seats in the House of Lords, Ro- man Catholic Privy Councillors, and 47 Ro- man Catholic Baronets At present the Sa- cred College of Cardinals consists of 6 Cardi- nal Bishops, 46 Cardinal Priests, (among whom stand Cardinals Manning, Howard and McCabe), and 13 Cardinal Deacons eighth among whom is Dr. John Henry Newman.

What is a Creole :.

MT. Cables long promised historical sketches on old New Orleans are begun in the January Century with illustrated an swer to the query, 'Who are the Creoles ?'' in part as follows: 'Even in Louisiana the question would be variously answered. The title did not, here, first belong to the de. scendants of Spanish but of French settlers.
 But such @ meaning implied a certain excel lence of origin, and so came early to include any native, of French or Spanish descent by either parent, whose non alliance with the ! slave race entitled him to social rank Later, the term was adopted by-not conceded to the natives of mixed blood, and it is still so used among themselves. At length the spirit of commerce saw the money value of so honorsd title, and breadened it's meaning to take in any creature or thing of variety of manufacture peculiar to Louisiana that might become an object of sale; as creole ponies,
 chickens, COWS, shoes, eggs, wagons, baskets, cabbages, negroes, etc. Yet the creoles proper will not share their distinction with the worthy "Acadian." He is creole only by courtesy, and in the second person. Be- sides French and Spanish there are even, for convenience of speech, 'tcoIored" creoles !; but there no Italian, or Sicilian, nor any English, Scotch, Irish or "Yankee' creoles, unless of percentage married into, and them
 selves thoroughly proselyted in, creole socie- ty. Neither Spanish nor American domina- ton has taken away from the creoIes their ffencn Vernacular. Fms, also, IS part or their title, and, in fine, there seems to be no more seryiceable definition of the Creoles of Louisiana than this: that they are the French speaking, native, ruling class. There is no need to distinguish between the higher and humber grades of those from whom they sprang. A few settlers only were persons of rank and station. Many were the children of the casket girls, and many were of such stock as society pronounces less than nothing, yet, in view of that state of society which the French revolution later overturned, any present overplus of honor may as well fail to the children of those who filled the pris. ons before ss of those who filled them dur. ing that bloody convulsion

She Knew Her Rights.

On Monday afternoon, just as the gas was being lighted, young man entered the for ward ladies' cabin of a Fulton ferryboat, New York. All the seats were occupied ex- cept one, and he made his way unsteadiIy to it. He had evidently been making too many New Years calls. As the boat started he placed his hat on the seat and went to look at himself in the mirror. In his absence a colored woman with basket of clothes en- tered and took the vacated seat. The young man saw her and rushed to get ahead of her, but WAS too late.
 That's my seat '" he exclaimed
 ''No, sah dis yar's der ladies' cabbing'
 But I had the seat before, and you are sitting on"
 "Yessar. Yo' wus heah befo, but is heah behind, and it's none O yer bizness what I's sottin' on.'

 He was compelled to wait until the boat reached the slip before he could obtain his tile, and, when he recovered it, it looked like a concertina in repose, and he had to try it on his foot before he could use it.

 During the war I was in jured int the stomach by a piece of a shell, and have suffered from it ever since. About four years agoit brought on paraly- sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. Suffered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not eat solid food and for a large portion of the time was unableto retiin even liquid nourishment. I tried Browns Iron Bitters and now after taking two bottles I am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving.

ism, or dependent upon apparatus liable to damage-which, if they fail in any degree, fail utterly, and bring the professor to ire trievable grief. Buatier's dissolying bird cage is an example. This is small oblong cage about twelve inches in length by five in depth and breadth, made apparently of wire on all side, which is held in the two hands right in front of, or even among, the audi
 ence, away from any table or screen. One, 2 two threei and it is gone, and the perfor- mer allows the spectators to examine him, to ascertain thereby that the cage has not been folded up flat by any means and concealed an his person. The effect is extraordinary, os the cage-innocent of the very possibility of mechanical deceit-seems to have melted into thin air under the very eyes of the au- dience. The explanation is that there Is double rotating hinge or joint in the eight corners of the brass framework, which per nits it to fold together endwise or rather, cornerwise, in the form of 8 spindle, the ''wire'' of the sides-really black elastic-aid- ing this collapse by it's tension when the framework is released from the oblong shape which is maintained by the hands. Around the right wrist is fastened strong silk cord, which passes up the arm inside the shirt, across the back and down the left arm, to be
 attached to tiny ring, hidden by the ball of
 the thumb, at the lower and inner 1eft-hand corner of the cage, which forms one extrem-
 ity of the middle when collapsed. This cord
 is of just such length that when the hands are holding the cage in front of the chest,
 the arms being bent and elbows close to the sides, it is comfortably taut Now, it will be
 seen that if the arms are extended, as they
 are suddenly and violently at the word
 ''Three l" the cage being instantly collapsed
 at the same moment, the latter must neces-
 sarily be drawn up the shirt sleeve, where it
 will lie along the arm and allow the coat to
 be removed by the audience without fear of
 detection. But it has happened more than
 once to the inventor himself to experience
 hitch at the cuff and to have the mortified
 ton of seeing his collapsed cage dangling ig-
 unanimously therefrom, amid the roars of all
 present. There is no possibility of covering
 such failure; the only thing to do is to
 turn away as rapidly as may be and confess
 to disaster before every one has discovered
 it's precise nature

It is a popular notion that a person falling from great height is asphyxiated by the rapid motion through the air. The matter has recently been investigated by Arthur Stradling in England, who has made some experiments in falling. He concludes that it is improbable that asphyxiation occurs in such cases. and that if the person who falls is ever killed before striking the ground it is most likely the result of nervous shock. In Maine the liquor agents sell only for medicinal purposes, but it is found there, as it has been everywhere where the same sys- tenn has been tried, that people are very un- healthy. In Machias, for instance, last year the agent had calls for $2, 962. r worth, or more than $1 worth for every man, woman and child in the town. Portland invalids consumed $19, 300 worth, about fifty cents worth for each inhabitant. The total sales of liquor to the sick footed up nearly $6O,- GOO.
 Dyspeptics find encouragement in some remarks by the London Lancet, which says that elderly people are often able to 
 family in the enjoyment of Christmas cheer in a manner which amazes their middle aged relations The explanation is that the di- gestive elements are long preserved, so that man who, in the prime of manhood, was a martyr to dyspepsia by reason of the sensi- tiveness of his gastric nerves, eats and drinks with the courage and success of 8 boy in his later years, when his nerves are blunted, and when, therefore, his peptie cells are able to pursue their chemical work undisturbed by nervous worries.
 The National Republican committee, which meets in Washington to morrow to settle the question of representation on the District plan, in accordance with the resolution of the national convention of 1880, will have three plans submitted to it, namely: MT. Chand- ler's, for four delegates st large for every State, two delegates from each district and three delegates for every Republican Senator and Representative, making total of 1.306 MT. Forbes, for two delegates at large for each State, one delegate for each district and one for every Republican Senator and Rep resentative, a total of 671, and MT. Martins, for four delegates at large for each State, one delegate for each district and one for every IF, 900 Republican votes or major fraction thereof, a total of 867 on the basis of the last election. The Martin scheme is regarded in Washington as 8 compromise upon which the extremes may meet.

Get the Best"
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
TIE LEADING PAPER.

HEARTILY REPUBLICAN IN PoLTICs.
The Tribune this year is cheaper than
ever, and it promises to be better than ever.
Unlike some of its would-be rivals, it has
not reduced character with price. Ii does
not seek increased circulation by pandcring
to the tastes of the vicious or the purient.
A trusted, clean, wholesome family paper, it
has long enjoyed the largest circulation
among the best people--the Industrious, fru-
gal and moral, whom every community rec
ognizes as its best citizens--and it means to
keep and increase this circulation by con-
tinuingssto deserve il.
The Tribune is the leading New York
daily--cemplete in its news, strong and
sound in comment, pure in tone, large and
legible in print--spending money lavishly for
news, and as lavishly for brains to hadle it..
IL gives with absolute fairness and all posi-
bic ACCURACY, the news of the whole world,
best worth the attention of intelligent men
and women: and is recognized as the author
ity on political, business, band, railroad and
financial, literary, educational, scientific,
and religious intelligence.
The Tribune is heartily Republican,; and
believes that the restoration OF the Demo.
cratic party to power, after twenty-iour years
exile, would be rs disastrous as revolution.
Every important material interest in the
country breads such change in 1884 The
Tribune confidently believes il can be pre-
vented, and to that end asks your aid.
The Tribune is always on tue side OF NOR
ality, good order, reform and progress. Ii
warmly sympathites wife every practical EFF.
fort 10 restrict the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. II always favors the cause of hon
est labor; and in the interest OF American
Workmcn suppotsla Protective Tariff. It
has no interest, FOR or against corporations.

vidual who was considerably 'corned, I"
and as he was attempting to balance
on his heels and take in the show at
the same time along came woman
and child and halted beside him. Both
were poorly dressed and evidently hard
up, and the child's exclamation of de-
light soon attracted the attention of
the befuddled individual.

replied.

and then returned, carrying doll by

said

The woman and child hurried away,
and they were only well out of sight
when the man was arrested and walked
off for stealing the doll. He went
willingly, calling back to the crowd:
