The Shirley Shakers.
ON the Christian Leader.

From the Christian Leader.
A visit few days ago to the Shaker
settlement in Shirley, Mass, has
singularly impressed us. The perusal
OF several pamphlets and book pre-
sented Us there, which we propose to
look through in vacation hours, may
deepen, possibly cnange, the impress
sions then received. TO human view
the society is fastening to its extinc-
ton. Only six men, and these quite
seAsibly touched by age, are now i'll
the Organization, where we spent
several hours, being Through the kind
ness OF the venerable Rev. Seth Chand-
Ter, ofShirley, who is regarded by the
Shakers as sincerity friendly to them,
privileged to make quite an inspection
of the shops, dwellings and general
premises. Many orphan children are
fakan by The society, instructed in the
rudimelits Of e. common education In
their excellent schools, hna trained to
habits OF industry; but few, If any, OF
the boys choose to remain and join
the society after they become OF age,
and only one in ten OF the girls adopt
the celibatc life. There is evident

the required Vows, and strong convic.

there ore also confessed by them ap-
prehensions DIS to the future OF their
organization. Tive things were
specially noticed by us-the ext1sne
neatness of their persons and sur
roundings and the quiet but unmistak
able cheerfulness Of the men and
women They believe, they told us, in
the possibility OF the final restoration
of all souls, but they reject no one
from membership who may believe diff
ferently. The practice Of celibacy is
their prime requirement, and CONNECT
ed with this all honest differences i'll
other matters are allowed and re-

A New Year Commencing

September is with US now and the school
year of 1SS6-97 is about to begin. Parents
should lose no time therefore in placing
their children In cstabls hments OF well
known reputation where they may be
trained to become good and useful men
and women. For girls we can earnestly
recommend st. Joseph academy, st. Paul,
as the model institution OF the kind in the
northwest. o fact clearly proven by the
long list OF applications the sisters
have already received from oil parts
OF this section. Rarely has new
year held out brighter promises for the fu-
ture. The many improvements of all kinds
that have been introduced in the academy
during the past year, not only adding to
the convenience and comfort OF the pupils,
but also aiding them materially in their
studies give promise OF the most satisfac,
tory results tor the coming scholastic sea-
son, and truly fortunate are the young Ia.

foresight to confide their education to the
well-trained teachers OF st. Joseph's acad
envy.

The Decline of Duelling in the
South,

The Savannah Morning News bea.
encouraging testimony to the change
that has taken place in public senti-
ment of late years on the subject of
duelling. ''Public opinion" says the
News, overwhelmingly condemns duel
ling, and the number OF those who ad-
vocate or defend this relic of barbarism
is constantly decreasing. The time
when men tried their causes by the or
deal of battle, Or by walking over red
hot ploughshares, has long 81 nee
passed away, and duelling will soon
be among the customs OF the past In
all intelligent countries. The idea OF
| turning Il question OF veraclty, or any
kind of dispute or snarl, into a ques-
| ton of courage cannot long survive in
this age ofprogress and common sense.
About the only question a duel can
settle is the fact that the participants
| in it have less "egard for the enlight-
ennd Christian sentiment of the day
than for the promptings OF q mlsgnid-
ed and foolish pride"
1t is now a felony in Georgia, as it is
in nearly every other State in the
Union, to send or receive q challenge
Or to aid in any manner in a duel, and
| Che man who kills another in duel is
a murderer in the eyes OF the law as
he is III fact.
There is no reason why the duellina
class alone in this country should ever
have been allowed to make laws for
themselves in regard to homicide
among themselves, and the changed
condition of affairs as respects duel
ling amounts to nothing more, at last,
than stripping Of one class OF manslay-
ers of remarkable privilege too long
accorded them, and placing them On
the same footing with other men who
thirst for the blood OF their neighbors

Flemish Lace Makers.

The coarse but strong and useful lace
called Torchon is much made i'll Bruges,
also thick Guipure; and III some parts
OF the town at every door one may see
women and girls busy at their lace
cushions, throwing the bobbins about
with the most wonderful rapidity and
chanting in harsh, cultural voices, an
anything but musical accompaniment
to their labors. The pattern is prick
ed on strip OF green parchment or
stiff material, and given t o the worker,
who finds her own thread, and, when
finished, returns it to her employer.
Not less than five aunes Is bought by
the shops, but lace can always be had
from the workers direct at very
moderate price. Black Guipure and
Black Brussels lace are also made; he
latter is very delicate and beautiful.
The cushion and bobbins in use now are
the same i'll form as those used in the
seventeenth century. The cushion is
nearly square. and has two drawers,
one into which the piece of lace is put
as it is gradually worked Off the cush-
ion, and the other for spare bobbins
and pins. A small soft cushion is fast
ened at the top for pins, and a nova
BILE piece fits in, which can be used to
lengthen the cushion as the worker may
require.
The lace-workers complain sadly
that their industry is failing i'll value
that little money can now be made at
| 1t; the markets are so flooded by imi-
tation machine made laees of great
beauty, and the fashion as to the
make of lace to be worn each season

suits may follow the effort which has
been made to bring the beautiful
cushion and handmade laces of Bel
GUM into notice, as the industry is
one which deserves constant and sub
stantial support. The women earn
