Warrington, 9.-The examination OF
Frank K Foster, Massachusetts, was
continued this merning before heSenate
committee on education and labor. Fos-
ter said most efthe tenement houses in
manufacturing cities of Massachusetts
were owned By mill ewners, and the les
sees were compelled to furnish 10 many
operatives. The houses were generally
small, ill-ventilated and uncomfortable,
and the operatives were compelled 10
live in these houses or be dismissed. The
sewerage and sanitary facilities are ter
ribly bad and the summer nights stencil
from cess pools is nearly Overpowering.
French Canadians are to New England
what the Chinese are to California and
the Pacific Coast. Their morals are
lower. necessities fewer, and their only
aim seems to be to see how much money
they can get to take out Of the country.
They DO lot wish their children 10 at end
schools, and when c. mpelied to send
them often move to another place They
seldom accept the light Of franchise.
Out Of population OF 8S, 253 in thirty
two cities in New England, only 1856
are nAturslized and 2 S59 property
owners.

Out Of this they are expected TO board

Society demands that they should be
virtuous. yet with the meagre stipend re-
ceived and the snares often thrown
around them by those over them, it is no
wonder that many fall. There are some
noble exceptions to the general rule, con-
corning the treatment Of employees.
One firm in Boston provided a
large hall, The commercial rent value
of which is $4,000 per year, in which
the employees can meet in 3 social way,
and use it as q reading room, or give
dancing parties in it. Over a year ago
the frIn established q fund to which
each week each employee contributed q
very small sum. Last summer they all
drew lois, and the lucky ones went to
Europe, under the direction OF q mem
Der of the firm. The condition of the

often among the deprsved of both sexes,
in low tenement houses, what wonder is
it that their morals are 60 low? Il

there and u better object than in build

The Growing Temperance Senti-
ment,

In England, no less than in this
country, there has for several years
past been a growing sentiment in favor
of temperance in the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors. As the London Standard
expresses it, "for the first time in the
history of this country, intoxicatiOn,
irrespective of the social level ON
which it may be seen, carries with it
a lasting stigma. The whole tendency
of the day" it adds, sis opposed to ex-
cessive drinking"
The House of Commons last week
gave majority in favor of Sir Wilfrid
Lawson's Local Option resolution and
that is very significant step. 1t furn-
ishes another proof of the increased
favor III which the temperance move
ment is held in England, where once
the few temperance agitators were
treated with ridicule in all classes.
Now, however, even actual teetotalers
begin to be numerous among the most
intelligent men, and in the more cult
waited society the quantity of wine and
spirituOus liquors used has much de-
creased as compared with the past.
The same tendency to abstinence or
moderation is observable here, and
among the people who were never in
fluenced by the wild temperance agita-
tors who treated the drinking of any
thing alcoholic as Veritable sin against
God. The Dude, of whom we hear so
much in these days, is a very slight
consumer of alcohol. In fact, absti-
ncnce from excess in the expression of
JUNCTION and of ideas, in dress and in
eating and drinking, is necessary to
the maintenance of the character
The Dude must be moderate in all
things, even to the total sacrifice Of
spOntaneity.
But men Of more Virile ambitions
are not less abstemiOus about the ust
Of alcoholic beverages in these days
men Of leisure, men of business, pro
fessional men, and wOrkingmen, We
are glad to say. AS it is in England
so it is here. Drunkenness is not re
garded as the pardonable offence it wai
once held to be. 1t degrades man
, and casts doubt on his trustworthines
both socially and in q business sense.
And the people of this city, for in
stance, were never so prepared as nov
5 to sustain sensible and practica
! movement for the regulation of tn
sale Of spirituous liquors so as to pro
: tect the general welfare. The grea
majority of the population Throughout

Sublime man,
The law defines every mans house
to be his " castle"
Consequently he Is lord of the castle.
That is, if his wife lets him rule SO.
Most men don't object to their wives
being lord of the castle, as it includes
getting up in the morning to make the
fire.
There is but a step between the sub
lime and the ridiculous.
Some say all that is useful is sublime.
On some occasions a man asks the doc
tor what he can be useful in.
Most doctors would tell him to go
out and dig the garden.
Does he go?
NO.
Where is he found if wanted? At
his Rlother's.
Suppose he has no mother-where
then?
Nearly always leaning against the
back end of the smoke-house wishing
there was transit of Venus
What is the nearest approach that he
sees to a transit of Venus?
His mother-in-law.
How near?

A NORTHERN MAY.

The robe oflace that decks her rounded form
Is donnd too early for the spring-tide FEAST
Her cheek is pale, and on her bosom warm
wind is blowing from the chill northeast.
In futile search for downy shelter there
Her shvring arms upon her breast are cross'd
The airy veil above her golden hair
Is all aglOw with diamonds of frost.
And from her hands a wreath of daisies slips,
And at her feet, in blightcd beauty lies:
Tho smile is frozen On her lovely lips:
An icy terror dims her dewy eyes
Turn back, o May! turn back and warm thy
wings
In Times old cave, at Winters funeral pyre,
And come not forth till Earth, thy bridegroom
springs
To clasp thee, glowing to his heart of fire!

1t is noticed, says a New York paper,
that the judges of Delaware are all old
men, the youngest on the Supreme
Bench, Associate Justice Wales, being
more than sixty. Chief Justice Com
eggs is far past seventy, and is rarely
in good health. Justice Houston is
nearly seventy and is failing fast.
Chancellor Salisbury is sixty-six and
is almost a physical wreck, having
nearly lost all use of his limbs. The
sprightliest of them all is also the old
est, Justice Wootten, who is nearly
eighty. He has just recovered from
the first attack Of sickness suffered by
him for many years.

Prof. George p. Fisher of Yale says
that the prevalence of religious skep-
ticism and disbelief is by no means con-
fined to communities in which newspa-
pers and magazines abound, but is
manifest in the furtherest frontier set
Elements. He thinks that the concen-
tration of attention upon the study Of
material nature, the wondrous inVeR-
tions and improvements, the increase
of material comfort and prosperity, are
among the influences which have in
directly produced the existing state of
thiRgs. The direct incubation of the
truth of Christianity, in his opinion,
especially as to the need and way of
salvation, is the most powerful means
of reformation.

The Cynic.
A PEN-PICTCRE OF ONE OF THE MOST
DIsAGREEABLE OF HUMAN BEINGS.

One Of the most disagreeable human
beings is the cynic who does not believe
in good or disinterested motives. He
distrusts every man. He is skeptical
as to the sincerity of all men, and he
believes that self-interest prompts all
their actions.
Whenever you see one of these men
you see one who is so filled with self
ishness that there is not room enough
inside him for it and for all the egotism
he tries to carry, and you will see it
oozing out of him at every pore. These
two attributes crowd his soul into
small compass, press on his heart until
there is not room for it to develop a
generous impulse, and take possession
of his mind until liberal or noble
thoughts cease to exist there.
lie is liberal enough in one way
liberal in unheliefs-but a narrow
minded bigot in his beliefs. When he
hears of some unselfish act, he begins
hunting for selfish motive, and should
he fail to find it, he says:
"Well, cannot understand what it
is for, but he must expect benefit by it
somehow"
Certainly, he cannot understand a
disinterested act of kindness, because
all his own motives are prompted by
self-interest. He knows of no higher
motives.
The cynic is simply what he believes
all other men-who are not fools-to
be. His heart is not large enough to
conceive chivalrous act; his brain is
not of sufficient dimensions to beget oil
be delivered of a noble or generous
thought, and his little soul SO shriveled
that if it were possible that it could
ever get to Heaven, and if Peter should
smile q welcome as he left it in, il
would Immediately suspect the sanity
gateman of having some interested
motive in being so friendly.
Whenever you meet man of thi
kind, who suspects that everybody il
the world is trying to take adVantag,
of him, you may be sure that the maj
would beat everybody in the world
f he could. Whenever you see a maj
attribute mean or sordid motives t,
. others, you have found a man VIII,
himself is mean at heart, and you hav
/ discovered a man who may have man,
. acquaintance, but very few fFleAds.

The city of Elizabeth, New Jersey, is
an unhappy illustration of overgrowth.
For several years it has been bankrupt.
To-day it is a city with q property
value of twelve and half millions of
dollars, and debt of about seven mil-
lions. A creditor threatens mandam-
us to compel payment, This would
raise the city assessment to about four
teen per cent, or fourteen dollars on
the hundred annually. The Duke of
Alva, after the conquest of the Neither
lands, imposed a tax on a conquered
province of ten per cent. The tax was
resisted, nor could torch or sword COM
pei its payment. But Alva is eclipsed
by the public improvement mania of
Elizabeth. A proud city Of many
thousand people owned by its creditors
is a wreeking sight, but fortunately
one that need convey no lesson here
Elkten's engine house is safe nonu'
ment that our .festiRG lente city fathers
will not repeat the folly of the Jersey
city of a queenly name. Perhaps they
will inquire whether wisdom and pru
dence do not dwell between the two
and perhaps they will nOt.-Cecil Whig
