The puzzle column this week contains some
certainly hard articles. We are aware that our
solvers do not like to attempt to solve very diff
cult puzzles, still we dislike to reject a puzzle
from any of our old contributors on account OF
its hardness. We do not favor too intricate
puzzles, ard would be pleased if our friends
would make their work a little less difficult We
offer this week a fair list of premiums, so we
hope our solvers will attempt to solve our puz-
zles, even though they may not succeed in solv-
ing all of them.
E. L. Dive are pleased to receive your let
ter of the 18th ult. containing your list of
answers. OF course, they came late. but we
have given you credit therefor. We should be
pleased to receive some contributions from your
pen ere long.
DoDo-We have changed the meaning of your
answer to your enigma, as Webster Tour author
ityl does not seem to define it as you did. We
hope you will excuse US, and come often with
your good work.
SEE U. U.-Your puzzles are splendidly writ
ten and very correctly constructed; but if you
will please make them a little less difficult, we
know they would be perused with more interest.
UNCLE THEo.--You have given our solvers a
enigma; still we wish you would not make your
work quite so hard. There hundreds of readers
of the Journal who are young and inexperienced
in puzzle solving, while there are only a few ex-
perts, who would attempt to solve difficult puz-
zles.
Ruth Davisis square contains two words,
which will give the solver a key to the other
two, which are pretty difficult terms. 1t is q
good square. We hope Ruth will call again
soon, and bring with her another supply of mat
ter for the puzzle column.

has the modification of seeing the government
and Tory leaders hobnobbing in compromise.
With the death of Mr. Fawcett, a Liberal,
he renewed his attacks on the Ministry by
supporting the fair trade" candidate for the
vacant seat against the ministerial 'free-trade"
candidate. The result was the triumph of the
Liberal cause by about two votes to one. Lord
Randolph Churchill now gives up fighting the
government for a long time, leaves the House
OF Commons while Parliament is i'll session and
sails for New York, on Il tour around the world,
III which his intention is to visit Australia,
Egypt and India, as well as this continent
necessarily, therefore, along absence.
The dashing young statesman Is well known
in New York, the home in her maiden years of
his lovely young wife, a daughter of Mr.. Leonard
jerome. He is popular in society at home as
well as in this country, being a genial and &C
complished young man with n bright and
fascinating wife to assist his s~prightly genius for
entertainment. His course, naturally, is re-
garded with particular interest in this country,
and his many admirers cherish the opinion
that he will yet attain reputation in the councils
OF a great party. which, on some occasions, has
thought it expedient to honor him with extraor-
binary distinctions, setting him up in public
meetings as a speaker with the Marquis of Sails
bury, for example.
A recent writer. Mr.. Anderson, who has pro
duced an interesting book of pen sketches of
British statesmen. draws the following portrait
of Lord Randolph Churchill: Scarcely above

dellcate constitution, LORD handoldh mas s1nooth'

ever, the most conspicuous object of his
personal appearance. 1t is the large blonde
mustache of the zouaye of politics. From 4
o'clock in the afternoon, all through the dreary
session time, he sits impatiently in his place,
gently agitating his left knee, nursed above his
right, and atfectionately caressing his mustache.

THE Effect of Woman Suffrage.

Correspondence New York Post.
/ arrived in Seattle last Sunday. Outside Of
the Sand wich islands, 1 do not believe there exists
such absolute Sunday cessation Of activities and
enioyments as l found here then. Not q place Of
business was open. Not only the saloons and
cigar-booths, but even the bars of the hotels
were closed. A lumberman from somewhere
down the sound was seen coming out of q Fourth
street store with a paper parcel. The parcel was
Immediately examined by one Of the special
police. 1t contained a new hat. The offending
logger escaped the penalty of the law by claim
ing that the hat been given him. OF course
one need not say, after narrating the
above, that law and order of the most pro
nounced type prevail here. And this
was the worst town in the Territory, except
Ainsworth, when 1 first saw it. Now its uproar-
ious theaters, dance houses, squaw brothels and
Sunday fights are a thing of the pact. The fe-
male grand jurors caused every ~unclean house
texcept those managed by women) to be indicted,
and they have been promptly suppressed. Not
a g~ambling-house exists. The same results have
not, however, attended the infusion of the fe-
male element into the body polite elsewhere.

The True Theory of Amusements.

Sermon by DR.. Ro~ssiter, Presbyterian.
The true theory of amnsements is one which
recognizes the play elment in mar. 1t is there.
for God has placed it there. Jesus played as
well as prayed, and man is to do the same, and
no church can reform play out of existence The
Methodist Conference in Ohio which condemned
croquet did a very foolish thing. The true
theory also demands that amusement shall be
such as as may be INDUCED in everywhere. The
boy coming home from an evenings enjoyment
should not DO afraid to tell his mother every de-
tail. The minister who visits lewd places does
more harm by his example than he can possibly
do good by his sermon. Another point in the
true theory is that it must allow self-contrOl in
all amusement Dancing is a capital form of en-
joyment, but carried into late hours, in public
places and with questionable surroundings and
companionship, it ceases to he a pure AMUSEMENT
and becomes a snare of the evil one. TIT last
requisite of a true theory of amusement is that it
should lead to higher things. Such relaxation is
found in the pursuit of charity or in the training
and teaching of a class of young people. With
out some such form of relaxation a person might
give all his days to amusement and yet be dead
to real enjoyment, for God will not give that
peace of mind and co~ntentment of spirit which
is essential to any feeling of rest and ~satisfac-
ton.

BISHOP WILEY.
His Last Work in China-PremOnitiOns of
Coming Death.

O
Letter Of Rev. J. Ii. ryke.
We were greatly delighted to have Bishop
Wiley with us again. He came in great feeble
ness of body and in much physical suffering, but
in the fullness of the gospel in the spirit. Ali
the way from Japan to Picking he was quite sick,
little in liquid form, and often his stomach re-
iected that, consequently, he was much pros
trated. He was not able to preside over the
regular sessions of the meeting, bat saw the
missionaries each afternoon i'll his room. Once
with characteristic VIII power he left his room
and came into the church where the meeting
was assembled.
No one who was present that morning will ever
forget the impressions of that hour. as the Bishop
walked up the aisle slowly. and with difficulty.
The business was suspended, and the assembly
rose and remained standing until he was seated
on the platform. One member suggested that
we ought to sing the long-meter doxology that
we were permitted to see our dear bishop with
us once more. He replied; "No, brethren, go
on with your work; we will sing the doxology on
the other side After resting a short time the
Bishop arose and addressed the conference.
He spoke of his life interest in this work and
his labor and love for it; of, his great desire to
see his brethren in China once more before he
went to heaven. He dwelt for a moment on the
vastness of the country. the magnitude and
difficulties of the work, and the certainty of final
triumph. Speaking of his own life, he said:
Now, brethren, my little part in this work
is about done. My life has been an ar
duous one; not much pleasure, not much
Joy, but a great deal of work and much peace.
The end is now at hand, but it is no matter; l
am ready. If can get down to central China
and arrange matters there, and then reach Foo
chow and hold the conference, if it is Gods will
l can lay down my life and sleep quietly where l
began this work, thirty-four years ago"
While the Bishop was speaking there was not
a dry eye in the house, and every heart was
deeply moved. sorrowing most of all for the
words that he spake that we should see his face
M more.
