Dr. COiiycr on Husbands and Wives.

Rev. DIR. Robert COllycr spoke to ms
! congregation in New York last SUNDAY
on the subject Of marriage. He began
| with the statement that men chose wO-
men because of their outward rather
than their inward gruccs. He added:
"liOw many lives have been wrecked
by marriage How many sons of God
have recklessly, capririously mated
themselves to daughters of earth! |
knew two great men whose lives were
ruined in this manner. They married
women whom they supposed to be an
gels, and ever lived lonely aud dcsolate
lives in world into which their wives
! could not enter. 1t is a man, doom to
take the world as he finds it, and wO-
man ) as the man makes it for her.
Men are too often like stranded hulks
until good wives or mothers take them
10 the deep waters, where they can
breathe clear spiritual air. ] know
many such men who would be no more
than mud banks were it not for their
wives. The lives Of these noble women
may be hard, but their work is noble
and their children at least will surely
rise up and call them blessed. For 1t
Is only IN such women that We find an
| instinct for good books, delight in
holy thoughts, and that charity which
thinketh no evil. | have heard of AN
eminent man Of science who placed his
marriage certificate at the beginning of
book containing forty five diplomas
which he had received from the great
scientific societies Of Europe, and who
wrote under it that, highly rs he priced
his diplomas, he priced his marriage
certificate far higher lie was, Of
course, man unusually blessed, At
the same time, his wife was unumally
blessed. They were not two people
with no more fitness to live together
than two ill-tcmpercd tOmcats.

Queer Arguments of omce.seekers.

QuCCE arguments u OlnCC'SCCASNSs
Some curious notions exist among office
seekers. They seem to think that if a
man happens to occupy an important
Office at Washington through one admin
istratiOn, or longer, the office belongs to
the State to which its occupant belongs.
For instance, it was urged in behalf of
Hon. Phil Thompson, of Kentucky, that
he ought to have the office of Commission
er Of Internal Revenue because its occu-
pant was a kentucky man. With refer
ence To the Office of Solicitor of the Treas
ury North Carolina politicians claim that
their State ought to furnish the man for
that place because Mr.. Raynor, who held
it for so many years, was a North Caro-
linian. 1t would be easy to give other ex-
amples.
Attention is drawn to this matter at
this time because colored men who pro-
fess to be Democrats are claiming four
important offices under the government
because they are already filled by colored
men. These offices are the Recorder of
Deeds for the District Of Columbia, the
Registry of the Treasury, Minister to
Hayti, and Minister to Liberia. The first
of these offices is filed by Fred. Douglass,
Of Washington, the second by Bruce, of
Mississippi, the third by Langston, of
Virginia, and the fourth by Smith, of
Illinois.
There is reason, perhaps, why the mis-
sions to HaytI and Liberia should be given
to colored men, but there is none why the
CHI no l. 81 70 hot from
in connection with the offices now held
by Bruce and Douglass. There is no rea-
son why colored men should not hold
these offices if they have the necessary
qualifications; not, however, 5eca-se of
their color. The main argument, it
seems, that is used by the applicants for
those places is that, having been occupied
by cOlored men, they ought to continue
to be occupied by cOlored men.
Those who use this argument do not
take into consideration the fact that if
it is sound cOlOred men would never get
any more places under the government
than they now have, and that if it had
been regarded in the past as legitimate
they never would have got an Office at all.
1t is probable that the present admins
tration will appoint few colored men to
office, not because they are entitled TO
anything, but because there is DISPOSE
ton to make the cOlored people under
stand that the Democratic party does not
desire that there should be any color line
in politics. If the cOlored people had
given the Democratic party any support
worth considering in the last campaign
it is pretty certain that they would be
given fair share of whatever patronage
the administration may determine to dis
tribute.

President CleveIand,s Policy.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press.


On Friday night two leading Minnesota
Democrats visited the President. He
took them all over the White House,
showed them the cellars, the kitchen, the
conservatory, the east room, red room,
blue room, the executive offices, and final
ly took them to his bed room. Drawing
out a box of cigars he passed them, and
then pulled off his coat and Topped down
on the bed. 'Now, l suppose we are 60
ing to talk politics." said he. The Min
nesotians admitted that such might be
the case. "Well, what do you want, any
way?'' said the Chief Magistrate. The
MinnesOtians giving polite and eYasiVe
answer, the President took the conversa-
tion into his own control and went on :
81 believe" SAID he, sin civil service
reform. l believe the Democratic party
should support me, if l should commit
nv administration to that policy. The
situation for Democrats is a choice be-
tween rushing in and taking all the patron
age now as soon as they can get it, and
waiting and gradually filling the Offices as
they become vacant by natural and due
course of time and circumstances. If we
pursue the former course we may be
elected out Of power in 1888. If we take
the latter, we will give the country not
only good, business-like administration.
but deserve to be retained in power. /
say this for the party, not for myself.
Now, l think / shall practice civil service
reform, pure and simple, and with that de-
termination, ] want my Democratic
friends to help me by standing between
the administration and Ofice-seekeTs, to
keep them off as far as possible. That is
the sum and substance of my policy.
What do you think of itW The two Min
nesota Democrats assured the President
of their most cordial cooperation, and
some time later departed.

HosEFoR THE SULLIVAN GIRLS.
An Array of Irish Beauty which Startled
a Customs Officer from His DntH

An array OF lr1an Beauty W0lCn STARTLED
aCustOms Officer from His Duty.
Mrs. Johanna Sullivan, one OF those re-
markable women of the Emerald Isle
who look as young at 45 as thousands of
women Of other natiOnalities do at 80,
says the New York Journal, landed at
Castle Garden yesterday.
She was accompanied by her six chill
dren, three Of whom were interesting
grown-up daughters. Mrs. Sullivan had
several trunks, all packed with fine WOOL
en- blankets, the besl Belfast linen and
the most expensive Balbriggan hosiery.
ooh, no! Not much!" said the custom
house officer to Mrs. Sullivan after he
had opened the trunks, F'yOu will have to
pay duty on all this or else you will for
felt it,"
''But it's all for myself" said Mrs. Sui
Ivan, "and was told that 1 would not
have to pay duty on my personal prop
ertv."
"WhatG Is this all for youY' said the
officer, tapping a large trunk full of
blankets with the toe of his boot, and is
this all for youw he continued, tapping
another trunk that was filled with white
linen; ''and l suppose these are all for
you, too?" he concluded, as he opened a
bundle containing six dozen pairs of long
white balbriggan hose.
''All for me and my daughters" said
Mrs. Sullivan.
"Oh, daughters" said the officer; s'wen,
where are your daughters? You'll have
TO produce them and they'll have to make
affidavits.'
The three interesting grown-up girls
soon appeared, and Father Riordan, hav-
ing heard that Mrs. Sullivan was in
trouble, came also.
The custom house men looked at the
yirIG of nj of hn
linen, then at the hose and then at the
girls again.
81 guess it's all right" he murmured,
vainly trying to suppress a sigh.
The trunks were closed and marked as
Ftpassed."

The Southern Immigration COnven-
tim

The Immigration Convention at New
Orleans completed its business last Thurs
day. The Southern immigration Associa-
ton was consolidated with the Southern
and Western immigration Bureau, and
board of directors, which is composed of
representatives from all the Southern
States and California, was elected. The
office of the new organization is to be at
New Orleans, and an attempt is to be
made to establish an institution in that
city something like Castle Garden at New
York.
About enough has been written relative
to immigration societies in the South, and
it is time that something practical was
being done by them. The country has
heard all it wants to hear about the socie-
ties until it hears something about the
immigrants.
There is no disposition to throw obstruc-
tons in the way Of those who are trying
to get an immigration association organ
lied that will do effective work, but it does
seem as if there is not as much anxiety
in the South to encourage immigration as
there ought to he. OF course Texas and
Florida must be excepted because they
have made commendable efforts to increase
their wealth and population by means Of
immigration, and they have succeeded
beyond reasonable expectations.
There is no reason why Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and
Louisiana should not be as popular with
immigrants as Florida and Texas are.
All that is needed to make them so is
judicious advertising and work. The
money that Florida and Texas have
spent in bringing settlers within their
borders has been repaid hundred fold.
If the Southern States want their I'M
cultivated lands turned into productive
farms and their towns and villages made
prosperous. they must make their re-
sources known, and draw within their
borders willing workers from other States
and other countries.
Those from the North and West who
have visited the New Orleans Exposition,
and witnessed the exhibits of the South
ern States there, have expressed their
surprise at the undeveloped wealth Of the
South. Very few of them knew that pig
iron, as good as the best in the world, was
being made in Alabama, IN fourth-rate
furnaces, for Sc a ton less than an inferior
pig iron could be made in Pennsylvania,
and still fewer knew how rapidly the
manufacturing interests Of the South had
grown within the last ten years.
There is plenty of work for an immigra-
tiOn socIety-in fact, for any number of
immigration sOcieties-in the South.
Southern Legislatures will not be faithful
to the trusts reposed in them if they do
not deal with the question of immigration
literally. The South ought to draw
strength from the Northern and Western
States of this country and from Europe,
and she can, if she makes the right
sort of an effort.
