The SOCIAL organization connected with
the church Of the r 'deemer had an unusually
pleasant and profitable entertainment in
the ante-room of their church last evening.
These meetings were instituted for the pur-
pose of giving church attendants an oppor-
tunty of getting better acquainted, one
with the other, and also for the establishing
of higher grade of social intercourse. Top
les are discussed, upon these occasions
which not only edify but they also beget
taste for the better class of literature.
This organization is recent feature o
the church, and of opportunities ar

The Chinese as House Servants.

Notwithstanding the strong opposition
that exists in almost every quarter to th'
idea of the introduction of the Mongoliai
as domestic help in American households
John Cinnamon appears to make steady
progress as au exemplar in that modest pro
fession.
An extremely interesting letter from 0
lady, living at Vancouver, on the Pacific
Coast, to friend in this city, y,affords graphic
illustration of the estimation the almond
eyed heather has gained for himself in that
distant land.
Some of the passages, in the writer's
words, are as follows:
''Last Tuesday the Chnaman came, and
since that time have not touched thing
in the kitchen. If thee wants perfect bliss
in housekeeping get Chinaman-he never
asks for anything, nor where anything is
and, us for cooking-the most delicious
dishes are prepared for every meal. His
kitchen, as we'll as himself is spotless. He
wears regular low Chinese shoes, ith white
stockings that are snow white
His outer-garment is of green brocaded
satin, quilted; over that is a white apron.
He makes no noise, but quietly tells one
that "meals are ready" We are Just now
through with lunch-had very nice porter
house steak broiled. Every particle of the
trimmings are saved for soup. Stewed
apples, cake that will just melt in your
mouth-celery-tea and the most delicious
homemade bread, white as snow. He will
do cooking, washing, ironing, take care of
three fires, sweep the house once in week,
and sweeps the porch every morning for
s25 month am told by everyone that
if they are good they remain. A friend of
mine who has just as good one got this
for me. The Cinnamon say that the "NTel-
lean woman talkee too muchee." So, We
made vow to look out of window all day
if he will only do the work! To-day, Sunday, he
asked for the clothes-line, had bought him
some clothes pins yesterday-all The rope we
had was that around our trunks and bun
dies. He washed and boiled that rope and
clothes-pins, rinsed them, and has them
ready drying for tomorrow He is so out
of the usual, in every way from anything
we have ever had that We feel blessed. He
cooks SO little, barely enough, lamb, chops
broiled, (there are three in the iamily) 4
pieces of cake, 8 hot rolls or Graham muf-
fins, just barely enough, and not particle
of waste. He makes his soup stock, and
tIis viii oniy continue, and all say II VIII
shall feel that have had new lease o.
life."

The Sun as a SOporific.

Sleepless people-and there are too many
of them in America-should court the sun.
The very worst soporific is laudanum and
the very best is sunshine. Therefore it is
plain that the poor sleepers should pass as
many hours of the day in the sunshine and
as few in the shade as possible. The injur-
ious effects of shade is very noticeable III
plants growing in secluded places, and
ladies' who are accustomed to carrying sun
shades. The invigorating power of sun
light is infinite, and he whose skin is taN NJ

TO THE LAND OF FLOWERS.

Those of our citizens (masonic, or other
wise), who contemplate visiting New Orleans
during the "Cottnn Exposition" caunot
afford to allow the st. Johns Commandery
excursion to go by without improving their
opportunities.
President Garrett of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad has given directions that
every comfort of those, who participate in
this excursion, shall be anticipated. A
number of ladies' of the elite society of Phil
adelphia have chartered a palace sleeping
coach and the party will be chaperoned by
well-known and most estimable lady.
Another pleasing feature of this expedition
is that friends and families can, by early
application, secure sections in the coach SO
as to have the same privacy that they would
in their drawing rooms at home.
The menu will be under the direct super
vision of Col. G.. 7. Wood, who has the
reputation of catering to the most epicurean
4 tastes. When the party reaches New
Orleans, the cars will be quartered in the
heart of the city, directly accessible to the
street cars which will lead to and from the
Exposition, and at nights the excursionists
will occupy the sleepers, and thus they will
not be exposed to the hotel cormoTauts who
expect to fatten on every visitor to the Ex-
position.
The Dining Car attached to the train will
obviate the necessity of taking meals by the
wayside, which will materially enhance the
pleasures of the trip. Mr.. g. r. Mackenzie,
passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will give his personal supervision
to the interests of the exc cursionists and this
means that if the party do not have a grand,
good and an enjoyable time, it will be no
fault OF Mr. Mackenze's.
The whole affair promises to be one of the
most royal pageants ever seen on wheels,
and a large number of prominent Philadel-
phians have already signified their intention
to participate in the most elaborately plann-
ed excursion that has ever gone out from
Philadelphia.

1t Will be remembered by the readers of |

to the process of an ignomlnlous

Under-Paid Cabinet Officers.

In order that Senator Bayard may accept
the secretaryship of the Treasury, the Phila'
delphia Times querulously asserts, in his in
terest, that the salary $4,000 year is INSULT
cient for the demands of that position.
Now let us meet this point straightly, as
American citizens. Let us not be accused
of demagogism in asking what are the
demands of such position What are they
when considered in the elevated tone of ma
tional Amer icanism as demonstrated by out
Senator's high moral ideal of the spirit ano
intention, even tie very existence of such
form of government as ours. among the
nations of the earth.
Mr.. Bayard claims that it is democracy
And as pure democratic community it must
be maintained. A ligid abnegation of the
manners and customs of monarchical forms
of government with their attendant condi-
tons of outward display and profusion, is
desirable, they tend to an insidious, bni
gradual and SIRE transition from the dis
tinctiye position laid down by the Fathers
of cur country to an assimilation to that
which they had discarded.
"Straws show the way the wind blows =
and undoubtedly some will be found accus-
ing us of desire for policy of parsimony in
respect to the salaries Of cabinet officers.
But, in spite of any accusation of demago-
gism, we ask is the salary of a cabinet officer,
at $4,000 year, a niggardly solatium when
millions of our fellow citizens maintain
an existence, an economical one to be sure,
