The following curious scene was en-
acted in the mayors court in o certain
town in Lincolnshire: unfortunately
for the mayor, his duties on the bench
claim his attention as he rises from the
table. A man was brought up before
him on the charge of being drunk and
incapable. The mayor, who had pre-
Viously been smiling benignly around
Oh the crowd assembled in the court,
looked at the man unsteadily for mo-
ment with blinking eyes, and on the
completion of the evidence said: 'Prish-
ner, you-you ora be 'shamed o yer
self! You'll ave a pay four and ten
pence Ora month"; The prisoner was
removed by the constable, and the
magistrate was assisted out by his
cIerk.-PaH Mall Gazette.

Slavery bids fair soon to be a thing
of the past in Cuba. Sixteen wears
ago law was passed providing for the
gradual manumission OF slaves on the
island. of whom there were at that
time about 3S5, $50. So well has this
law been administered, the planters in
many cases showing willingness to
acteven in anticipation of its provisions,
that 2S5, 600 slaves have been already
set free, aad there are good grounds
for hoping that during the year the
trade viii be entirely wiped out.

MUST READ AND WRITE.
An Educational Act for the Illiterate
Class.

An Educational ACT 1Or the lIIItefNtc
Class.
OF the various matters OF educational inter-
est considered By the Massachusetts Legislature
the present session, none, 1t appears, has pro-
voked more comment, attracted more general
intelligent interest and public opinion favorable
to legislative action tn n the bill providing for
the compulsory education of llilerate minors
By the census of 1880 it is seen that 90, ,o65
persons in the commonwealth Of 10 years OF
age and over were unable, in that year, to
write their names, which number, it is pre-
sumcd, is greater to-day, and, unless some re-
medal steps are TAKEN. will doubtless increase
from year to year. By the same census 9040
minors between th' ages Of 10 and 20 were re-
ported as ilit,rate, the enumeration being
made on their inability to write. Upon a unani-
nous report of the joint committee on educa-
ton, The. legislature last year enacted the
present law for evening schools, retaining,
however, the then permissive statute, and en-
larging its provisions so as to compel all towns
of 10000 or more inhabitants to maintain even
ing schools for the education of persons IA years
of age and over in the common school branch
IS. To complete the work begun, this year
the legislature is asked to make the education
of all illitetate minors compulsory. The bill
which was passed last week by the House and
is now pending in the Senate provides that any
person who employs. orpermits to be employ
ed, minor IA years of age who cannot read
and write shall forfeit not less than $40 nor
more than $50; and and any person who en-
ploys, Or permits to be employed, MINOR
over IA years of age who cannot read and
write, providing such has been one year resi-
dent OF city or town wherein free evening
schools are maintained, shull, for every such
offense, forfeit not less than $50 nor more than
500 for the use OF the evening schools of such
city or town. A provision in cases OF hard.
ship is embodied in the bill which gives school
committees full authority to exempt for n rea-
sonablc time minor from the law when it is
found that his labor is neccs sary for hi5 own
support Or that OF his family.

ECONOMICALLY ENSLAVED.
The Condition of the Modern Laborer
Described.

recent Boston socialist lecture, by Mr..
Florian Paul, consisted of a historical review of
the various attempts at emancipation which the
loboring classes in different parts of the world
have made at different times. In the great
French revolution it was not the liberty OF the
people in the true sense; it was what they
cal cd the liberty of the 'rhiid estate" which
was fought for--the freedom of the people from
the direct oppre sion of aristocrats. Passing
on in this way to the pre- sent time the lecturer
condemned the present social system in the
strongest terms. 1t makes but little difference
whether the form Of government is that OF a
republic or monarchy as long as the present
labor system exists. Under. this system the
class who have to sell their labor and have
nothing else to sell are economically ensaved
So long as the laboring class are thus enslaved
real liberty of the people is impossible. Sys-
TENS grow and perish; our present system OF
oapitalistic accumulation has seen its best days
Many forces are working for its destruction
The Inconsistencies between production and
eon=f;,af!ion are among these forces. The
evils OF over-production, or rather under con-
sumption, are becoming more and mo1e grave.
The laboring classes have the desire to consume
the products of the worlds industry, but are
kept below the rational standard of consump-
iion by the small purchasing power Of their
wages.

A STARTLING PROPOSITION.
Sunday Services In Syna2o gues AdvO-
Gated by New York Rabbi.

At a recent meeting of committees on the
condition of the Hebrew Temple Emanuel, in
New York, those present were startled by the
radical ideas expressed in letter from Rabbi
Gustav Gottheil. The Rabbi admitted that the
attendance upon worship was decreasing and
the interest in The congregations affairs wan
ing. He then proceeded to state what he con-
sidered the causes. Rabbi Gottheil's views are
interesting, as being those of the most popular
preachers of the advanced school of Hebrew
theology. The rabbi, fer referring to the
matcrialistic tendencies of the age, declares
that the Hebrew ritual has ouli, ed its useful
ness, has become hindrarce to devotion, and
should n, once be revised He thinks the SER
vice should be conducted in the vernacular
with Just sufficient Hebrew to show respect for
the vene able language. There should be less
monot ny in the service, and new and congre-
gational music should be introduced. The
holding of tho weekly service on Saturday
makes it Impossible for many to be present,
and leads to failure of attendance and the
weakening of religious influence. From this
cause the younger generation is in danger of
breaking away entirely from the ancestral fai h.
The only remedy was to hold Sunday services
as we'll us those of Saturday. He q mitted the
gravity of the question, and advise d the careful
action always required in crises.

manner ofbural and the articles found with the
mummies, and claimed that many of the dis

tributed by them to different nces,
were the work of one race, but that ac-

A few months ago, Capt, Ebon Williams, the
