GENTLEMEN NOF .iTD IN THE
PAST.

From the London Pau Mall Gazette.
What is gentleman? 1t is a very
old question and has been answered in
very different ways, but it is clear that
the word has at least relative and not
an absolute meaning. as some insist,
and that it varies with the times.
Here is what Lord Chesterfield says,
which the members of the Four-in-
Hand Club will read with interest
g gentleman always attends even to
the choice of his amusements. If at
cards he will not play cribbage, all
tours, OF putt; or in sports of exercise
be seen at skittles, leap-frog, football,
cricket, driving of coaches, ETC., for he
knows that such an imitation of the
manners of the mob will indelibly
stamp him with vulgarity" In anoth-
or of his letters to his son he says,
there are liberal and ill-liberal arts.
Scottish drunkenness, indiscriminate
gluttony, driving coaches, rustic sports,
such as fox chases, horse races, ETC.,
are infinitely below the honest and in
dustrious professions of a tailor and a
shoemaker" And yet people who call
themselves gentlemen do most of these
things nowadays, and even those who
are not gentlemen consider themselves
such in consequence of doing some of
them.

cognition by the largest body Of Catho-
lie friends of temperance in the United

PASSION PLAY.

Every one has heard of the " Passion
Play" so called. 1t has been the sub
Ject of various comment in Europe
and in this country. Some have con-
demned it as sacrilegious, and
demanded its suppression; others
have insisted that it was in
tended to impress important religious
truths, and that on its original intro
duction it did serve an excellent pur-
pose. Rev. Frank T. Lee, during his
tour in Europe, visited the CITY of ObeI
Ammergan, where the representation
of this scriptural history was originally
given, and where it is still continued,
at stated periods. Mr.. Lee witnessed
it, where it is invested with none of the
modern aspects which have rendered
it Objectionable elsewhere. He care
fully studied its merits and its influ-
ence, and has since embodied his OBJ
seryations in the form Of a lecture.
This lecture he has delivered in his
own church III Salt Lake City, and by
general request repeated it in the opera
house. that being the largest gentle
audience room ohtainable in the city,
to an overlooking congregation, at
which were present the leading clergy
men of the different evangelical de-.
nominations. Mr.. Lee has signifed
his willingness to deliver the lecture
in this city before his return to Utah.
should the people desire it. The lee
ture would serve the purpose of con-
yeying a correct understanding of a
subject on which conflicting opinions
have been expressed.

UTAH ELECTION.

The election for members of the leg
islature in Utah was held on Tuesday
last; the Mormons very generally
elected their candidates. opolygam-
lists were nominated, but polygamists
dictated the nominations, so it was all
the same. The Edmunds law passed
by Congress at the last session, which
it was hoped would prevent Mormon
ascendency, failed to produce the ex-
pected esult. There are more Difficult.
ties in establishing decency in Utah by
congressional enactments than most
people suppose.

The Waukegan Republican says the
young men of that city contemplate
the organization of a young mems club
for the following object
"The object of the club will be to
advance the interests of the place in
every way possible. Young men, legal
voters, who mean business and are not
afraid to take hold of the wheel of
progress and help to give it a turn
ahead, will be benefited by joining this
society"
That is the right kind of progress,
and far more sensible than clubs, fit
ting up rooms for billiard and card
playing, and laying in stock of Hav-
ana cigars.

POETRY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A German National teachers con-
vention met in Chicago last week.
The subject of poetic instruction in
schools was presented forcibly. 1t
was maintained that the failure to
cultivate the heart as we'll as the mind
was one of the defects in American
schools. The cultivation of nothing
but practical knowledge, to the exclu-
sion of love for the beautiful and
grand, is not conducive to nation of
good citizens. Whatever merit there
may be in the German theory of poet
ic instruction in common schools, the
American people are too much utilitar-
ian to give attention to it at present.
The convention also favored instruc-
ton in manual labor in connection
with the usual studies in public schools.
This sentiment is deservedly growing
popular, and important movements
are now making in various quarters to
secure this object. 1t is bound to Sc.
cure a new order of things in the
schools of this country.

TELEGRAPH IN CANADA

Government control of the telegraph
lines is now agitated in Canada. The
public interest demands a change.
There is no good reason why telegraph
communication should not be as con-
trollable by the government as the
mail. There are no strikes to interrupt
business communications on the mail
routes, nor is there danger of any.
The people get their mail matter at the
lowest possible rates to cover costs !:
but they allow monopolists to dictate
to them the terms on which telegraph
communications can be sent. Were
the government to take control Of the
telegraphs, communications would be
sent over the wires at price as low
as would leave only a margin to pay
the cost of service. There would be
no declaring of dividends to voracious
stockholders.

The musical and dramatic enter
tainment. under the direction of Miss
Lily RunalS, at Apollo Hall on Sat
urday evening, was highly creditable,
and gave satisfaction to the large
audience present. The proceeds OF
the entertainment were for the benefit
of Mrs. A. G. Northway, whose
house was damaged by fire a short
time since. Miss Runals was assisted
by Mrs. DIR. A. Farr and Mrs. G. c.
Brown. Mrs. FAIR enjoys the repu-
tation of being one of the best sing
ers in this vicinity. Miss Runals is.
distinguished for voice of much
sweetness. Miss Runals, in addition
to her rare musical powers. is probab-
ly the best lady elocutionist ever heard
in this city. Included in the enter
tainment, was pantomime under the
direction of Mrs. DR.. n. A. Pennoyer.

drugs. BY an order which will go in
to effect on the 18th of this month.

der oath the ingredients they use in
the manufacture of their beer. This

Oh, MyBack!.

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, Of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: "Mywife
has for many years been trou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and I can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi.
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT-
TIERS. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.
