A LITTLE REPRovAL,

To state the fact pointedly and yet pleas
antly, the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives has seemed to be
confused as to its duty in certain important
matters until spurred by the Democratic
leaders or chided by the Democratic press,
and on one or two occasions it has narrowly
missed scandaizing the party.

HOW THEY TALK TO THEIR CHILDREN.
[Salt Lake Tribune.I

Apostle Teardel, in an address to the Nor
mons at Nephi, Utah, counselled the children
as follows: Il want to caution the children.
There's men around asking the children
how many wives their fathers have. If they
ask you, tell them you don't know. I'd
rather you tell lie to defend your friends
and parents than tell the truth that will
bring trouble upon them.'

DREAM OF FRENCH CANADIANS.
Montreal Canada Minervel
We are to-day good million and half of
French speaking people who know what it
means to speak French, and who will hand
over our language to our children, who in
half century will number at least $4,000,
900. Our children, be assured, will speak
French without the need of any whip to
force them. We intend to keep up our
language for all time, and so we have faith
in our future. Our hard times have passed,
and there is now in Canada French centre
which will never be destroyed or kept down.
Our 300 st. Jean Baptiste societies make
this sure; our 100000 co-patriots emigrated
to the United States prove it. See their
attachment to the French language in a
place SO fatal to every tongue but the Eng
lish. Is it when we have spread over On
tario and the United States, when we have
made large holes in all English countries of
the province of Quebec, when the Franco
Arcadian race is so visibly enlarglng itself in
the maritime provinces, that prophet of
evil, taking his desire for realities, dares TO
predict our future absorption.

A severe epidemic Of Spiritualism has
broken out in the New England States.
and it is reported that there are villages
in which the whole population has ap'
parently gone mad over it, and where
the only talk is of seances and mediums.
The other day in st Louis the Millers,
alleged S~piritualistic mediums, were ar.
rested and held under bonds to answer
an indictment before a grand jury for
fraud, one of them having been caught
in the act of playing . trick. The same

Spiritualist, was treated to a dose Of
analine and then exposed.

NEXT QUARTER GEN.
TURY.

Mr.. Neesima, the young Japanese
whose history is more thrilling than any
tale of fiction, is now in New York, and
with the utmost earnestness he declares
his conviction that the fate Of Japan will
be decided during the next twenty-five
years. His opinion ought to produce a
deep impression upon the people OF
America who wish to see the best
civilization established in the great in
sular empire of the Orient, whose popula-
ton in 1882 was Sc, 700, lis, or a little
greater than that of Great Britain. It
was our Commodore Perry who, present.
inqithe demand of the United States,
supported by Great Britain. Russia.
France and other nations, secured from
the Tycoon the FIRST commercial treaty
with Japan, signed in 1858. and thus
America opened the door through which
30 much Of what until then had been .
hermit nation. The revolution of 1868
broke the power OF the Shotgun, and the
Emperor, released from his throne, vol
unfairly took q sacred oath to regard
public assemblies and follow the wish OF
the majority. He established q Senate
of his appointment, then an assembly
of governors, q few years later provincial
assemblies, and on October IL, 1881, he
issued . solemn decree that ten years
thereafter the empire shall have . na-
tional assembly.
Mr.. Neesima says that the people are
rapidly abandoning heather institutions,
and unless they soon receive Christianity,
Japan is likely to become an in6del ma
ton. Educated in America, he received,
in response to an impromptu appeal at a
meeting of the American Board, the
money with which to found, ten years
ago, . school in Kioto. the old capital Of
the empire, and he hopes to raise $50, 600
with which to endow several professor
as q feature of the celebration Of
the great event promised by the Emperor
in 1891. He ought to receive the money,
without solicitation, before he returns to
his own country next Autumn. He
~perceives that the education Of
natives to be teachers and preachers is
the best method of missionary work, and
the institution in Kioto is devoted to
that purpose. About IS per cent of jap
anese children enjoy the advantages Of
government schools conducted OIL modern
principles, but the empire contains no
institution which is likely to have q
greater influence upon its future than the
school founded by Rev. Joseph Hardy
Neesima.

The Earth Older Than the Sun.

NJ. Faye, a French astronomer,
maintains that the earth is older
than the sun. All of the planets
from Mercury to Neptune were
formed first. The sun was a nebular
mass far outside their orbits. Suisse
quently it passed over to the center of
the planetary system, and collected
there into the grand luminary which
we know. Uranus and Neptune were
then evolved from the scattering
fragments, having satellites with
retrograde motion. In the present
period life may have existed first in
the northern regions, as the fauna
and fora found there indicate. Then
there were no arctic winters, the loco
motion Of the nebulous mass being such
as to radiate most heat upon the
poles and that part Of the earth's
surface 80 sadly neglected in our
present calorifc arrangement

Luxurious Students.

"There's a fellow rooms there whose
furniture alone is insured for SIS, OOO,'
remarked Achilles as we passed it.
Giles one Of those New York swells."
The luxurious conditions, indeed,
under which learning is pursued at
Harvard is enough to make one be-
lieve that it has a royal road, and that
the regime of Harvard has secured a
patent on it. Whether the luxurious.
ly padded methods just now in vogue
there, with the addition of the sPar-
ker House Annex" will produce men
of superior force to those that Har-
ward turned out fifty years ago, is a
problem that may, in the near future,
present itself for solution. While
there is an atmosphere of strong, gen.
uine work, under noble professors, by
noble and earnest undergraduates at
Harvard, there is also this element of
the sybarite luxuries which one may
fear might prove that .'cushion of ad-
vantages on which a boy goes to Sleep"
as Emerson puts it.-Boston Letter.

John Randolph's Sarcasm.


On the death of a certain Senator
his place was filed by a young man,
with more courage than Judgment.
He determined to do up the Bald
Eagle of the American Congress-" and
in his maiden speech" proceeded to
carry out his intention. The House
listened, amazed, and waited in eager
expectation that Randolph would rise
and with his formidable foretinger and
whitening wit, demolish the young as
pirant for oratorical honors. But
nothing Of the kind occurred. Ran
dolph of Roanoke kept on writing,
making no sign that he even heard
the speech. A few days after, how.
ever, resolutions were passed on the
death Of the late Senator. Randolph
rose and said that the House had met
to eulogize and pass resolutions of re-
spect upon the late great Senator from
-, ",rhose seat" he added, pointing
to where his successor sat; as still
Cacont" This was all the notice he
ever took of the young man who had
attempted to "do up Old Randolph

Very Absent. Minded.

It is a very awkward thing to be ab.
sent-minded. The story is told of a
certain gentleman, who discovered
this at his cost. 1t so happened the
other day that the dining-room of
the club which he frequented was
quite full, when a man who CHANGED
to know his particular failing came in
very hungry. The waiter told the
newcomer there vas no room at pres
ent. Spying his absent-minded friend
comfortably seated and reading the
newspaper, a brilliant idea struck the
hungry man. HAS Mr.. A. dined yet?"
he questioned. mo sir" replied the
waiter. "Well, never mind; take him a
card, and tell him he has had his din
ner." The waiter hesitated u moment,
and then, approaching the situation,
went over to Mr.. A. and handed him
a card. "What is this for?" quoth the
poor fellow. For your dinner, sir"
"My dinner-ah Have I really had
it," Eyes, sir" rejoined the waiter,
in all innocence. "Dear me; 1 had an
idea 1 was waiting for it. What a
curious mistake" And, with a con-
templative smile, Mr.. A. sauntered out
of the room, leaving his table for the
use of the genius who had profited by
his Observation-Disclosures
