CHARACTERISTIC.

Whenever the Democrats get foot
hold in any department of the govern
ment, the South makes rush for the
offices. The Democrats now having
obtained the control of the House
of Representatives, the South was
promptly on band at the opening
Of the session, claiming all the import
tant offices and obtained them. The
northern Democratic members made
only a feeble resistance and allowed
their southern brethren to carry off the
spoils.

ABOUT CHURCH. GOERS.

There is certain class of dreamers
who are always averring that Chris
tianity is either dying or dead. Such
things as facts meyer, of course, enter
their heads. A few figures, however
put the matter on an arithmetical
basis from which there is no appeal.
In the United States there are nearly
100000 persons, 1860 churches
more than we ever had before and
they are being built at the rate of more
than one per day. This gives a gloomy
outlook to atheism and to those ex-

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

Much is being accomplished by
Superintendent Parker, of the Chicago
schools, in preparing the way for in
dustrial education. He is hard at
work in getting his industrial depart
ment in running order. Five hundred
dollars have been placed at his dis
posal, by friends of the movement, the
funds appropriated for contingencies
Of this kind being insufficient to carry
his plans into execution. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected he will be able to
demonstrate the advantages and the
practicability Of this department of
education, in connection with public
school studies, and that in future
liberal appropriations will be made by
the proper authorities. Superinten-
dent Parker is engaged in no untried
experiment; others have gone before
him and given the plan thorough
test. 1t is not surprising that there
should be unbelievers, even among
teachers, who should keep themselves
better informed Of the educational
progress of the times. New departures
have always been regarded with dis
trust by a certain class of mind. No
reforms ever come from sleepy con-
seryatlves. Some persons are per-
picked to understand how industrial
trades can be applied to the smaller
country schools? Whenever public
opinion becomes satisfied of the desir.
ability of educating the hand as we'll
as the head the problem will be easily
solved as to the method of its accom-
plishment.

DISTURBED CONDITION OF IRE.
LAND.

In portions of Ireland the hostility
between Catholics and Professionals is
intense; neither side can plead exemp-
ton from being aggressors. Major
Whipple, the distinguished reviyalist,
of Chicago, has been holding religious
meetings in Wexford. The building in
which the meetings were being held
was attacked by a mob, the congrega-
tion dispersed, and bonfire made of all
the bibles and hymn books. The ladies
who attended the services had their
dresses torn and the men maltreated.
1t would be unjust to attribute out
RACES of this kind to the better classes
of the Irish people; they are doubtless
chargeable to the,lower orders Of So
ciety.

SEPARATION.

A wall was grown up between the two
A strong, thick wall, though all unseen;
None knew when the first stones were laid,
Nor how the wall was built, ween.
And so their lives were wide apart,
Although they shared one board, one bed,
A careless eye saw naught amiss,
Yet each was to the other dead.
He, much absorbed in work and gain,
Grew soon unmindful Of his loss;
A hard Indifference worse than hate
Changed loves pure gold to worthless
dross.
She suffered tortures all untold;
Too proud to mourn, too strong to die;
The wall pressed heavily on her heart;
Her white face showed her misery.
Such walls are growing day by day
'Twixt man and wife, 'twixt friend and
friend;
Would they could know, who lightly build,
How sad and bitter is the end.
A careless word, an unkind thought,
A slight neglect, haunting tone
Such things as these, before we know,
Have laid the Wallis foundation stone.

THE BooK-KEEPER.

1t was an ancient book-keeper,
And he was tall and slim;
Though his face was mild, he rarely smiled.
His clothes were dark and prim,
And everything about his desk
He kept exceeding trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upon the self-same hooks,
And laid his ruler, pen and ink
Ia their respective hooks,
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books,
Each day upon the self-same hour
He took his lofty seat,
And bent his body and his mind
His labors to complete;
And blots were neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet. .
The music of his pen was heard
From morn till eventide;
Up columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride; 81.
Quite pleased was he though he saw his work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that o'er his fingers came
Each day was something grand,
And yet no schemes to bear 1t of
By him were ever planned,
Although he saw with half an eye
That he wrote sloping hand.
He had no wife, he made no friends,
His joys and cares were few,
And his dearest hope from day
Was to keep his balance true.
A good world this if every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little Ills
His way Of life would cross;
And o'er the errors of his youth
He showed no vain remorse;
But set down all that came along
To profit or to loss.
One day the creditor of all
Dropped in for his account;
He found the old man ut his post,
Though low ran nature fount;
The books were closed and he was borne
Up to his last account.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
WASHINGTON, November A local

sive.

yer, and makes about 1000 in the prac-
tice of law.
Garland, of Arkansas, is worth about
$4,000. made by planting and LIE prac-
tice of law.
Walker, Garland's colleague, is worth
$4,000.
Lamar, of Mississippi, has real estate
worth about 5000, and if he were
able to attend to it, would have the best
law practice in the state. AS it is, he
has all he cares to attend to, which
bring MIN about $4,000 year.
Senator George has made his moder-
ate fortune by the law and planting, and
in this way has accumulated $4,000.

he is worth, but those most likely to
know put his fortune at Sc, 900, 900,
which is increasing every year.
Gibson, OF Louisiana, is the second
in the matter of wealth of the southern
senators. His property, estimated at

sisting Of real estate and securities, of

hair flowed in white waves over his
shoulders, while his beard was bnsby
and long, and his wide-brimmed, soft
hat and strange garb told that he was a
stranger. He was Judge n. Banning
Norton, from Dallas, Texas, and wears
ago he was u violent whig. When
Henry Clay made his first great race
for the presidency Judge Norton SOL
EMMY vowed that he would never cut

these years since 1912 the Judges hair
mas been growing and growing and win
