The outlook tor war between England
and Russia grows remarkably brilliant
The demand made by England for ex-
PLANTATION of the recent attack by the Rus
slams upon the Afghsns has excited a re-
ply which is said to be a very weak justif-
cation, or explanation rather, of the at
tack. 1t is reported that England has
now given Russia twenty-four hours to
withdraw her forces under General Komar-
of or fight, and the answer is expected to
be that Russia will fight. From all
sources Russia can draw an army of
nearly three million men Englands ef-
fective force is 577, 1884, to which must be
added her Indian establishment OF lOO.-
900 men, which could be increased by her
India and colonial population. England
has a great advantage in naval force, hsv-
ing about thirty powerful ironclads and
ten under construction. Russia has
twenty-six ironclads, some of which are
the most formidable in the world. Thus
strongly equipped for war the conflict
would be prolonged possibly into years,
and would be one OF the most sauguinary
and destructive in the annals of warfare.

1t was q very remarkabl piece of news
paper viiliany that gave TO the country the
report that Mrs. Garfield was about to
marry again. Its mitigation comes how
ever in the following noble words from
that noble woman:
This cruel rumor, which seems to have
been afioat for two or three months, did not
reach me till three days ago. Nothing that
has ever been said about me has so hurt and
offended me as this, and the deepest humilis-
ton lie that 50 many are ready to believe il.
To me it seems just as much an insult to be
ssked whether il is true, es it would be were
the dear general still here. That any one can
think me capable OF being false TO his mem
ory seems like being regarded criminal. A
diguified denial by my friends, suppose, can
do no harm. Still it hurts me to feel that
any denial is needed"

given forth in order to settle the question

that if he dies it will be because of failing

The Home Shrine.

Domestic events are certainly our affairs.
WHAT are called public events may, or may
not be ours.
The household is, or should be, the home
of the man as well of the child, and the
events which occur there affect him more
than those which happen him in bis public
life.
The moment q man comes from the outer
world his whole being changes. and for the
better if his home is Of the right sort. If
thrift and cleanliness prevail, progress and
pleasure follow. But think you there sre
not a multitude OF particulars to be accom-
plished?
To many persons perfect housekeeping
seems impossible. Something must go un-
done. II the children ave well dressed. well
fed and properly schooled, the aelf-sacrifcing
parent must suffer. II the meals are punc-
tual, the apartments are slovenly. II the in
side furniture and decorations are fine, the
yard and fences are neglected.
That the difficulties to be overcome are nu-
merous. all will freely admit. Many wives
complain of lack OF means, and in this way
apologize for the unattrsctiveness OF their
homes
This should not be. Few have wealth, but
all must have homes. Men are not born rich.
and very often sacrifice themselves in obtain
ing the coveted wealth. The greatest men in
history were the poorest.
Economy is TOO often scorne3. True hos
pi slity does not mean layishuess. 1t is not
necessary 10 play prince to every stranger
hat crosses your threshold.
Let man say: "Here is my house, open
at all times TO my friends can not afford
a rich dinner, nor costly bed-chamber-
these things can BE- bought at any public
house; but in my house are found pleasures
that can not be bought at any price, and for
which friend may well travel fifty miles to
enjoy From it love, honor and courtesy
flow sbundantly."
There is n, other country where this can
be said 30 easily as ours. Here all are on
par-sll struggling for wealth and fame.
There is many a humble honse in every
city where talent and taste dwell with pow
erty and labor. Perhaps there Is a lack Of
ornament, but let the friends be of such a
character ttat they can fill that vacancy
Every individual nature has its own beauty.
One is struck in every company with the
truth Of this assertion. There is scarcely a
lace that We cannot associate in imagination
with some generous de d. Not aloof from
this homage to beauty, but in strict connec-
lion with it, the house will cOue TO be
esteemed a sanctuary, Or perhaps more COZ
rectly, shrine.
Your economy, your labor, your good or
bad fortune, your health and manners are all
laid thereon. When this is not the case,
society is weak.

men how to lead clean and heroic life, and
deal with men without any shame following,

the triumph of the Republican party, and

The manner of the reception of the
Prince and Princess Of Wales in Ireland
has been the object of public attention on
both sides of the Atlantic. Notwithstand,
ing some threats were made by Irish Ma
tionalists, and some serious apprehensions
were felt in England, the reception seems
to have gratifed the latter, and to have
been not altogether disappointing to the
former. At Dublin the programme was
carried out without any disturbance save
a few harmless Kisses which are said to
have been directed to Earl Spencer rather
than to the royal visitors The effect Of
this reception, it is claimed, will smooth
the future progress Of the Prince, which
may now be reasonably expected not to
meet with any great excess OF popular
vindictiveness. However, it is q well
known characteristic of the Irish that
they are generously given to hospitality,
and this demonstration of welcome, if it
may be so called, is probably as much due
to this natural trait SIS to any particular
love for the British crown. 1t may be
more SO. While it was certainly not ex-
pected that the Irish were ready to signal
ize their determination for revolution BY q
violent demonstration against the Prince
who came as q guest to their homes, it
should not escape the observer that the
Irish keenness of insight had probably
recognized the fact that behind this pro-
pitiatory visit there was the secret desire
of the Crown to test the matter and de-
termine, if possible, whether or not any
smouldering fire Of revolution was hot be-
meath the surface of the Emerald Isle.
England, as the war maps indicate, has
very important business on lhands, and it
is matter of policy with her to dazzle the
eyes of the Irish with propiatory visits Of
the heir of England's throne, with his
Princess arrayed in Irish green. With
ireland quiet England can use more con-
centrated effort where, from present indi-
cations, it is very much needed. Then
again, the programmes of the receptions
were arranged and carried out BY the gov
ernment officials ani machinery, and the
Irish may have been attracted to the show
and surprised the beef-eaters by maintain
ing sufficient responsibility to keep their
mouths shut.
