English People at Church.

Religion is not dead in England. Is
is not dying in England. Nor has the
Established Church in England in the
least lost its hold upon the reverence
and affections of the people of England.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock st.
Paul's Cathedral was literally thronged
in every inch of seeing or hearing room.
There We're, at rough guess, from 10,
900 to $4,000 souls under the earnest
and scholarly voice of Cannon Liddon.
And who were these people from what
classes and conditions of society do
they come? My answer is simple, COM
prehensive and accurate. They were
all sorts of people, and from all classes
and conditions of society. Among the
1000 people whom / saw standing,
remarked men, women and youths who
evidently belonged to the laboring and
artisan classes, and in a chair two rows
in front of where L sat l recognized
Mr.. James Anthony Froude, and sitting
near him was young lady whom took
to be his daughter, as the illustrious
historian and litterateur frequently re-
ferred to her Book of Common Prayer,
as if to keep the order of service, which
he outwardly followed and observed
with signs of deepest devoutness.
1t was refreshing to see poor people
in q grand church! One always sees
such people in the churches of Great
Britain and everywhere on the CONT
nent. When Marshal Mcmahon was
President of the Republic l remember
to have seen him in st. Roch's Church,
in Paris, at high mass, kneeling upon
his flag bottomed chair, and next him a
nurse in her pretty white cap-she as
self-respecting as the great soldier and
civilian. But, remember, / was just
back in London from America. No
doubt poor people do go to church in
America. Of course they do. But it
has been my misfortune my
shame-not to see them. I attended
religious worship six Sundays the last
fall, in five different churches, of three
different denominations, and in different
arts of the United States, and on no
occasion did | see man, a woman, or
youth whom / took to be q laborer or
an artisan, with the exception of one
Sunday in New England village.
America is the exception to the rule in
all Christendom. The poorer classes
do not, as such, attend churches in
America know the reasons of this
exception. If were to state them my
statement would be at least doubted,
likely contested, by nine-tenths of tho
church-going people in the States. But
l have lived now so many years in Eng
land, and been also In Germany and
France so much, that it is perfectly
plain to me why these classes of people
do attend religious worship in these
countries, and, as a rule, do not at
home. Not only at st. Paul's, but in
every fashionable West End church of
London, will be found at every service
a given number of worshipers from the
so-called lower ranks of life. Robert
Laird Collier, IN Chicago Tribune.

John Adams and Editor Jarvis.

John Quincy Adams Private Secre-
tary was ms son, John Adams, who had
inherited many of his fathers peculiar
tiles, and who soon made himself very
obnoxious to the friends of Gen. Jack
SON. One morning Mr.. Russell Jarvis,
who then edited the E'Gshiiiqton Tel
egraph, newspaper which advocated
Jackson's election, attended drawing
room" at the White House, escorting
his wife and a party of visiting friends
from Boston. Mr.. Jarvis introduced
those who were with him to Mrs.
Adams, who received them eourteously.
and passed on into the east room. Soon
afterward they found themselves stand
ing opposite TO Mr.. John Adams, who
was eonve'sing with the Rev. Mr.. Stet-
son. Who is that lady?" asked Mr..
Stetson. THAT" replied Mr.. John
Adams, in tone so loud that the party
y" Il it, is the wife of one Russell
and if he knew how contempt
is viewed in this house they
4 not be here" The Bostonians
pIce paid their parting respects to
air. Adams and withdrew, Mr.. Jarvis,
having first ascertained from Mr.. Stet-
son that it was Mr.. John Adams who
had insulted them. A few DAYS after
ward Mr. Jarvis sent note to Mr..
Adams 10y friend of his, Mr. Mclean,
demanding an explanation. Mr. Adams
told Mr.. Mclean that he had no apol-
ogy to make to Mr.. Jarvis, and that he
wished no correspondence with him.
Considering his personal relations with
the President he had no right to be at
the drawing-room.
A week later Mr.. John Adams went
to the Capitol to deliver messages from
the President to each member of Con-
gress. Having delivered that address
to the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, he was going through the
rotunda toward the Senate chamber,
when he was overtaken by Mr.. Jarvis,
who pulled his nose and slapped his
face. A scuffle ensued, but they were
quietly parted by Mr.. Dorsey, Rep
resentatiye from Maryland. President
Adams notified Congress in special
message of the occurrence, and the
House appointed select committee of
investigation. Witnesses were exam
med and elaborate reports were drawn
up, but neither the majority nor the
minority recommended that any pun
ishment be inflicted upon Mr.. jarvis

Carter Harrison, Chicago's Mayor,
and Rev. A. +. Kittredge do not seem
to look at matters moral in the great
metropolis in the same light. DIR. Kit
tredge lays the blame Of Chicago'S loose
morals upon the Mayor, and Harrison
gets back on him in this style: abr.
Kittredge is simply crank. 1t seems
TO me that when the Great Jehovah
cried out for preacher, DIR. kittredge
heard the echo and answered Here |

with me than he does, he would make
rs good pastor as he now does. and
an infinitely better preacher" 1t is
not reported what dialect the Mayor
expressed himself in, but it is fair to
presume he used Arabic.

No great work was ever accomplished
without system. Did you ever stop to
consider how much time is lost in this
world for lack of system? A house
keeper will for lack of system fool away
the morning hours and dinner time
comes before the breakfast dishes are
washed, simply because half dozen
things are under way at the same time,
and no one thing accomplished. You
sometimes ask a young man whom you
know ought to have plenty of leisure,
why he did not do such and such a
thing, only to be answered: 81 didn't
have time" Why did he not have time?
He was idling with Few friends, may
be, telling stories or what may be
worse, doing nothing, and before he is
aware of it his spare time was up-it
had been wasted. You have no idea
how much work can be accomplished in
a day if there is only system and appli-
cation. A few moments work at GER
tain time each day ON some special OBJ
ject will accomplish that object before
the worker is fairly aware of it, and at
the same time will not interfere with
the regular duties of the hour. Every
moment is precious and under some
systematic plan can be utilized for bust.
ness or pleasure. The merchant who
does business in slip-shod way is not
the man who succeeds. The mechanic
who only works to kill time and lacks
system in what he does is the one who
always plods along in the same old rut.
No matter how hard may be your work
it can be made much easier by taking
advantage of every minute of time and
systemizing your operations according
to the time you have and the work on
hand. You can't let up on job begun
without danger of complicating affairs
and increasing your work. You can't
attend to half dozen different things
at the same time without sighting all OF
them. The only sure plan OF success in
life is to systemic your every action
so that every move counts toward the
object you would accomplishments

A Serpent in the Cupboard.

FANDALIA, Illinois. May 20.-Mrs. a.
G. Campbell. living short distance in
the country, had her attention attracted
by an unusual sound, which seemed TO
come from the top of the cupboard.
Wishing TO learn the cause. she climbed
upon chair and was in the act of look
ing over when huge black snake thrust
its head up and began sticking out its
fangs at her. She hastily ran to the field
and called her husband, who quickly
disposed OF the reptile. 1t measured
nearly FIVE feet. Mrs. Campbell was at
a loss to know how the unwelcome Wis
itor got into the house unnoticed, as she
had been Que very little during the day.

Senator Foote'S Wig.

A Washington Post writer tells of
the following incident which occurred
when Hale. of Hew Hampshire, and
Foote, of Mississippi, were in the Sen
ate: Foote was baldheaded. with a
venerable fringe of snowy white hair
running around the base of the shining
dome of his skull. One day he startled
the Senate by walking in with a dead
black curly wS covering his head.
Hale arose at once to a question of
the highest privilege" He said, in ex-
PLANTATION, that the Senate was too
familiar with the venerable and dis
tinguished features of the Senator from
Mississippi to be for an instant de-
ceived by the impudent and audacious
interloper who, upon the basis of a
mere facial resemblance to Mr.. Foote,
had introduced himself into the Senate
and into the very seat o. the venerable
Senator. Look" said he. amid great
laughter, "at this youthful impostor,"
and then, with characteristic flourish
of satirical suggestion, the New Hamp-
shire Senator moved the appointment
of a special committee to investigate
the case When he concluded, Foote
turned very coolly toward Hale, and,
lifting his black wig from his head, said !:
.Do you recognize me now? Do you
think it is necessary to have a special
committee?' Hale withdrew his mo-
ton.

Why She Was Refused.

Mrs. Kilgore applied for admission to
the bar as a praeticing attorney in Phil
adelphia recently. Judge Ludlow, re-
fusing TO admit her, took occasion to
say: 1T may be admitted at once that
no inherent reason exists why woman
married or single, may not engage in
any business which man may lawfully
follow. 1t ought, however. to be re-
membered that the Creator of the uni
verse, for reason which any reason
able being ought to consider seIf-evident,
make a distinction between the sexes.
and saw fit, in the propagation of the
species, to protect the physically weak
er sex by laws as iniexible as other and
general laws governing the universe,
and TO place under the protection of the
male sex the female, simply because,
as general and universal law, apple
able to all created living organisms, the
female requires protection. OF except
ional cases we do not speak, but of gen
eral laws, by which alone we must de-
feminine principles of universal
application. Again, experience. If it
proves anything, establishes the fact
that, while dividing line cannot be
accurately drawn between duties chiefly
pertaining to the male and female, the
laws of God, or for those who deny his
existence, the laws of nature, distinctly
point to the female for the performance
of the duties-to my mind of the highest
and noblest nature which may be per-
formed by her-lf not in private-at
least away from public glare and pub
lie exposure. These duties are so var
ious and many that it isl needless to
enumerate them. | am opposed to the
admission of this lady. who is a married
woman of unquestionable character and
ability, first, because no law or custom
sanctions. but, on the contrary. con-
temporaneous exposition and universal
practice condemn it; second, to grant
this motion would be in the present
condition of the law, an act of judicial
legislation, and therefore of judicial
usurpation; third, because in this in
stance the applicant, being q married
woman, cannot enter into those con-
tracts, without ability to make which
she cannot legally practice as an attor-
ney of the courts; fourth, because the
question is one peculiarly the subject
of legislation, and therefore must be
solved by Legislative and not by judicial
authority -

Kissing in Ye Olden Time.

The custom of kissing was unknown
in England till 449, when the Princess
Rowena, daughter of Hengist, King of
Friesland, pressed her lips to the cup
and saluted Vortigern with "a little
kiss"
From passage in "Evelyn's Diary"
it appears that men kissed each other
in the streets of London toward the
end of the seventeenth century. The
Spanish conqueror found it the custom
prevalent in the new world. The kiss
of peace was anciently given by the
faithful, one to the other, as testimony
of cordial love and affection. After the
priest had given the salutation of peace
the deacon ordered the people to salute
one another with holy kiss. II was
also given before the eucharist until
the twelfth or thirteenth century.
| Toward the end of the third century
the kiss of peace was given in baptism.
Henry III. OF England refused to give
Beckett the kiss of peace, at that time
the usual pledge of reconciliation, in
1869.
Shakespeare was very fond of kissing.
You cannot read q single play of the
/
abundance of talk about lips and kisses.
The following is taken from one of his
deep tragedies:
He kissed-the last Of many double kisses
Wen cen but kiss Octavia, and wen follow.
There is gold. and here
/ Nv bluest veins to kiss: hand that kings
/ Have lipp'd. and trembling kissing.
Give me kiss cen this repay me
| I shall return once more to kiss these lips.
This is a soldiers kiss
Commend unto his lips thy favoring hand;
| Kiss IT., my warrior.
| Come. then. and take the last warmth OF my
lips.
| And in "Cymbeline" he says:
Or ere coul
| Give him that parting kiss which ] had set
Betwixt two charming words, comes in my
father,
| And, like the tyrannous breathing Of the North,
| Shakes all our buds from growing.

A Thames Fisherman.

Cumnor Hurst rears its picturesque
head by-and-by on the Berkshire banks
of the river, fitting scene for the
troubles of Amy Rosbart, whose ro-
mantle life Sir Walter Scott has blend
ed with the local history of Cumnor.
"Never heard of the lady, as / know
on, said fisherman who was trolling
for pike close by; you'd better inquire
of yon chap on the bank there; he
knows.
We inquired of the chap on the bank.
He was setting some night lines, he
said. Oh yes, he had heard tell of
Kenilworth, but it was not anywhere
hereabouts; he believed it was some
where in Scotland; but it was quite
true that Amy Robsart, Countess of
Leicester, was prisoner at Cumnor
he had always under
stood so. Old King Harry the Eighth
had good deal to do with this neigh
borhood, he had always been told, but
that was before his day, and he had
quite enough to do TO get living with
out bothering his head about such
things.
So he turned to his night lines for
fish, and we pulled away. His head
was rough one, and he scratched it as
he talked to us. He wore an old velvet
shooting coat. pair of jack-boots, and
a colored neckerchief, and as we drew
away he stood up to watch us with a
stolid gaze and farewell nod, as much
as to say, eff pulling boat down
stream were honest labor, you loafers
would be doing something else. >
