The Work Of the ChiIdren's Aid
Society

Among the papers read at the session
OF the American Social Science assOcia-
ton at Saratoga, on Friday, was a re
view by G.. l.. Brace of the work of the
Children's Aid society for the last
thirty years. During this time the
society have transplantcd 10000 child
rem from New York to country homes
in the west and south. and each year
1000 are now being sent out, more
than onc-third of whom are girls. The
fact that these children are the society's
up in their respective localities to he
respected men and women and occupy
good positions in society. The society
for the first few years keeps a careful
inspection of these children. The local
committees write in regard to them /;
local pastors are employed to visit
them and correspondence is kept
up with the employers and the child
rem. During the past year 1857 per
sons were placed in homes and en-
ployment-at an expense of SO, $40 for
all salaries, railroad fares, clothing and
other expenses connected with this
branch of the charity. This would
make the average cost for each child
placed in a home Ss.97. The same
boy or girl supported in a Poor-house,
retormatory or prison at public eX-
pensc, would have cost probably about
$40 per annum.

The American Exposition.
A GRAND DISPLAY OF ONR COUNTRY's
PRODUCTS.

BOsTON, Sept. 6, 1883.
Boston has never boosted of CEN
tennial, nor even of Vienna or Paris
exposition, but for real consolidated
interestedness, the Club of the Uni
verse" can claim the controlling pivot
of American exhibitions. This wear
Boston places the foreign world and
our country side by side. We have
two great eXpositions, in independent
buildings; both open, and each, in
itself, an interesting world of products.
One letter cannot do justice to both.
nor can one letter do full Justice to one
of the great exhibitions but neverthe-
less, | am going to try to Gro wd one of
the great fairs into one letter: and
that fair, this time, shall be the one
which opened under the "Stars and
Stripes"
The fair opened yesterday, preceded
by an imposing military display, Gov
ernOr Butler making the opening ad-
ress of welcome. Distinguished guests
from the South were present, and as |
stood with the multitude, crowding for
nearer view of the platform, it seem
ed as though Estates rights were for
gotten, and the North and South were
indeed grasping hands in common
prosperity. | took a bird's-eye view
from the gallery, and saw America.
There was large pile of North Caro-
lima ores, beyond doomed up a big
display from Tennessee, while further

".(suSIl."

The average country paper is full of
"gush," and Just in the proportion in
which it Is used is the influence of the
paper lost. Notably is this the case in
the personal" department, and every
body who comes to town OF goes away
for a few days have their real or sup
posed virtues immortalizcd with cold
type. Even greater latitude is allowed
in the obituary" articles. Not in
frequently are these 50 glowing that,
if the subjects could read them. they
would almost wish they had died be
fore, in order that they might know
how good they really were.
This principle of ''gush" is not con-
fined to the editorial columns of such
papers the local correspondents catch
the contagion and dilate upon the most
trivial events, in which a vast amount
of rhetoric is displayed. As a result,
local journalism is brought into disre-
putc, and it Is not tn he wondered mt
that the local paper has come to he
synonymous with gushing sentimental
ity. There is no reason why the local
journal cannot occupy a higher plane,
and he less provincial. The less that
it, columns are filled with indiscrim-
mate praise, the greater weight its
words Of praise will possess when
praise Is given.
As an instance of this principle of
"gush'- although an extreme case
we give the following extract from the
half-column "valedictoryn of one of
these gushing correspondents, who had
Severed his connection with the
paper to which he had contributed the
usual batch of local news and gossip:
Kindred spirits are thrown together
for pleasure and labor, the tide licks
our feet, and with the web of life all
unwoven, the delicate silken threads
are swapping asunder. We exchange
farewells, and pass out on the tide.
Readers of the Vermont Tribune, we
have sailed our heaven bound crafts
"A few days together. We are in sound
of the breakers! Give me your hand

Deaths Of Missionaries.

Mrs. Henry A. Schauffier, wife of the
well-known missionary, died in Cleve-
land, Ohio, Aug. %, after a long ill
ness. She was one of the four child
rem of the late DR.. Gray, who lost his
life in the famous Norwalk bridge dis
aster many years ago. She married in
1862 and went to Europe with her hus-
band first for study at Heidelberg and
later to COnstantinOple, where Mr.
Schautfier was a professor in Robert
college. subsequently he became a
missionary of the American board and
was employed i'll the eastern countries
where his wife rendered him very eff
cient help. Two years ago they came
back to Springfield to educate their
children and fOI the benefit of their
health. Mrs. Schauffier was an earnest
Christian woman of strong character
and high capabilities, who made her
life blessing to others. She leaves a
family of seven children.
Mrs. Lucy E. 5. Hartwell, wife of
Rev. Charles Hartwell, of the Foreign
mission at FOOchow, China, died July
10, aged tifty-six years. The deceased
was native of New Ipswich, n. II. e,
"Hio Siduudltu Ut MI iIOlN ohC sciHlH-
AIRY in 1919; taught at Wheaton semin-
airy, Newton, Mass, two years was
married in 1852, and the following
spring Rev. c. Hartwell and she sailed
for their mission field i'll China, where
they have both since labOred with as
siduity in interpreting the Scriptures
and in ameliorating the sufferings of
those with whom they came in contact.
Mrs. Hartwell taught in the schools at
China, and until thirteen days before
her death was as active as ever in at
tending school examinations and max
ing visits upon the native women with
in her vicinity. During her entire
service in the American mission ser
vice she made but two visits to this
country. She leaves a son and two
daughters.

Tammany Extends the Olive
Branch.

Tammany Is in a position where 1t
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose. 1t can, therefore, afford to be
very magnanimous. A meeting of the
general committee was held on Friday
evening to make arrangements to at
tend the state convention at Buffalo on
the 9th. 1t was arranged that the
Tammany braves should go trolling
into Buffalo" in parlOr cars, the ex-
pense of the parlor cars to be paid out
of the contingent fund. So, as far as
will go and return in style. The re-
port says the parlOr-car resolution was
received with applause" A series of
resolutions we're unanimously adopted,
which are to be presented to Irving
hall and the County democracy, invit-
ing them to unite with Tammany in
sending united delegation to the state
convention. The resolutions directly
traced the party's former defeats "tO
divided counsels, personal animosities,
private strifes and political ambitions
wholly unworthy of the great cause we
advocate, and of the high purposes of
our party, while our glories and our
victories have followed hard upon
mutual concessions, upon the sinking
of personal interests, and upon peace,
union and harmony in our ranks"
After promising to make every CON
cession consistent with honor" the
olive branch was extended in the form
of "the right hand of fellowship" to
the other representative bodies of the
party, and asked for "a single, united
representative delegation"
And Tammany will gain its point,
too. After accusing John Kelly of be-
traying Lucius Robinson and General
Hancock, and stigmatizing him as Il
deep-dyed rascal, the regular democ-
racy will open their arms at the state
convention, in an Outburst of enthu-
siasm and gush, and the Cincinnati
love-fcas will be rc-enacted. Kelly
controls 10000 votes, and the demo-
Gratis will think that they.cannot afford,
at whatever sacrifice, to let New York
elect republican state ticket, by
means of dissensions in their own
ranks, ut the last election before the
presidential convention and election.

why the Syndicate did not TAX e
the southeastern.
AND CHECKMATE THE CANADIAN PA
CIFIC.

AND CHECKMATE THE CANADIAN PA
CIFIC.
A st. Adams correspondent of the
Springfield Republican explains the
failure of the syndicate to buy the
Southeastern. The final act of the
Canadian Pacific was to transmit to the
syndicate its ultimatum, which was
that its claim of 81 100000 must be
paid at once and in full and that in
future there would be no interchange
of business whatever between the Ca
madam Pacific and the Southeastern.
As the first clause of this defeated at
once the proposed compromise with
the creditors and the last would at
once take away twO-thirds or more of
the business of the Southeastern, it of
course terminated the negotiations of
the New York syndicate and forced it
to retire from the field. The Canadian
Pacific coupled its ultimatum to the
syndicate with notice of immediate
proceedings to fOreclose the mort
gage-nearly all the bonds secured by
which it holds as collaboration default
in the payment of interest as provided
in the deed of trust and mortgage. OF
course the result of this will be Just
what the Canadian Pacific has been
for many months working to bring
about, and for which Barlow's failure
was precipitated, namely, the obtain
ing of the road by foreclosure for the
amount of the mortgage, 81 100000, by
the Canadian Pacific syndicate. This
has evidently been their purpose from
tbn Stort and tho of tba
formation of Il Canadian Pacific line
via ROuses Point and the st. Johns
bury and Lake ChamplaIn and Port
land and Ogdensburg roads, which, by
the way, has been n source of much
merriment to railroad men, was Il mere
ruse to cover their real purpose.
This situation alarms the PassumpSic
and Boston, Concord and Montreal in
terests, us they anticipate that if the
Southeastern fall into the hands of the
Canadian Pacific the Portland and
Ogdensburg will follow, as it can be
purchased or leased at low figure,
and the business, as far as possible, be
turned toward Portland, thus depriving
the Passumpsic of its mileage from st.
Johnsbury to White River Junction
and the Boston, Concord and Montreal
and lower roads of the rest of the dis
tance to Boston. The result is stated
on good authority to be, that Il move
ment is now vigorously inaugurated
by the PasSumpsic and Boston, Con-
cord and Montreal to form Il syndicate
and take the Southeastern themselves,
and it is likely to succeed. This will
he complete check to the Canadian
Pacific rs evan Shonld tho RouspS
Point line be attempted, it can be
blocked by these roads, which, owing
to their peculiar situation, have con
troll of both horns of the dilemma,
If they choose to exercise their power.
