A Pitts5urg woman suggested tina
the way for women to go into The
pulpit is to cut down the ministers
salaries to $l2 week. She thinks
almost any employment which pays
as low as $12 week would prompt

A Connecticut editor asks; 'In

Daniel Manning, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee of New

lS0O,addressed to the delegates from
the state of New York 10 the demo-
cratic national convention, | said:
Having now borne faithfully nv

public service. and wearing the
marks OF its burdens, l desire moth
ing SO much as an honorable dis.
charge. l wish to lay down the
hOnors and tolls Of even quasi party

private life. In renouncing a re.
nomination of the presidency, do
so with no doubt in my mind as to
the vote of New York, or the Unit.
ed States. l believe that it is a re-
nunclation of an election to the
presidency. To those who think my
denomination and election indispen-
sable to any effectual yindication of
the right of the people to elect their
ruler, violated in my person, 1 have
accorded as long a reserve of
my decision as possible, but I can
not overcome my repugnance to en-
ter into new engagement which in
wolves four years of ceaseless toll.
The dignity of the presidents Office
is above merely personal ambition,
but it creates in me no illusion. Its
value is as a great power for good to
the country. | said four years ago
in accepting the no'sination: ''Know
ing as | do therefore, from fresh ex-
perience, the great difference be-
tween gliding through an official
routine and working out a reform of
systems and policies, it is impossible
Tor me to contemplate what needs to
be done in the federal administration
without an anxious sense Of ths diff
fculties of the undertaking. If
summoned by the suffrages of my
countrymen to attempt this work, I
shall endeavor with Gods help to be
the official instrument of their will.
Such a work Of renovation, after
many years of misrule, such re-
form of systems and policies to which
l would cheerfully have sacrificed all
that remained to me-health and life
is now, l fear, beyond my

CAPTAIN MAYNE REID.

OF Captain Wayne Reid's boyhood w,
hear little, except that his father, a Presby
terrain minister, designed him also for the
pulpit.
The clerical profession was not to his
taste, and at the age Of twenty he left his
tutors and his tasks, to cross the sea.
Landing in New Orleans, he began a
career of adventure in the wilds of America.
He made two excursions up the Red River,
and ascending the Missouri, explored the
vast prairies which the wave of civilization
had not then reached. He afterward travel
ed extensively in the States, writing de
scriptions of his journeys for the newspaper
press.
He was thus employed when, in 1915
war between the United States and Mexico
broke out, and young Reid threw himself
ardently into the struggle as volunteer.
He greatly distinguished himself by his
bravery at the storming of Chapultepec,
where he received painful wound, from
the effects of which he even now frequently
suffers
The war over, Captain Reid resigned his
commission. But the spirit of adventure
was reused in him again when the Hungar
ian struggle for freedom enlisted the sym
pathies of liberty-loying people everywhere
and in 1S49 he organized, in New York, a
body of men toJoin it. He had arrived in
Paris, ION his way to Hungary, when news
reached him of the failure of the insurrec-
ton.
Reid then retired 10 England and settled
down to literary work, and there in his
home he lives the life CT q quiet country
gentleman, deyoting himself to literature
and rural pursuits. z. IrO.obr3dge, in

:" There is one person who could give uf
the information" said the astute statesman
question. d" The Duca d.? Oh, yes,
/ remember perfectly" the Queen is re-
ported to have said, and forthwith gave
sketch of his family history, whom he had
married, and whom his father had married,
and how his importance came aboat. The
huinblest person who has this gift becomes
most amusing companion, and consider
ing that the Queen has in her life received
almost everybody of importance in the
civilized world, the extent of her informa-
ton in this particular only must be pro-
digious, as well as of the deepest interest.
She has acquired many other kinds OF
knowledge during the long period of her
reign, and it is said is more deeply learned
in the noble craft of craftsmanship than any
of her councillors. She knows precedents
and examples as lawyer who has pleaded
half the cases in the records knows those
that belong to his trade. Every public
document and all the correspondence and
negotiations going on throughout the world
have to pass through her hands {; and if the
Blue Books afford occupation for all the

Queen has to work through, whose Office
does not permit her to dwell upon one

been retarded by post, never failed at the

are no holidays for the Queen. There is
always something going on in one part or
other of her great dominions, always some
foreign event to keep attention yigilant,
even when the most profound tranquility
may reign at home. A prime minister even
is occasionally out of office, though not
perhaps with his own will but the sover-
eign is constantly in Office and, wherever
she goes, has always messenger in waiting
and dispatches and State papers pursuing
her. Thus, of all the laborious professions
in the world, that of constitutional monarch
may be reckoned among the most arduous

monies to which the presence of the Queen
lends dignity, are not at all matters of plny
