The Chnttaroi Camp Meeting.

According to announcement the
the Campmeeting should have be-
gun last Friday, but there was no
service until Saturday night, and
| il was not until Sunday morning
that the people began to attend in
numbers. Even then the crowd
was the smallest ever seen on the
grounds on Sunday. AT no time
during the day was the Tabernacle
more than half or two-thirds full.
The smallness OF the crowd can
be accounted for in several ways.
The weather was intensely hot Sun
day. Money is scarcer than ever
before, and it seems to us that the
meeting had not been advertised as
literally as il has been in times
past.
Rev. DR.. Young, of Winchester,
KY, was not known by reputation
lin this Section, and the announce
ment Of his name was, therefore,
not sufficient 20 draw o large mum

Proud Of His Sister.

The Chicago Tribune relates thecase
OF a young man who was regarded as
a phenomenon, because he took his
sister to all the best entertainments,
and actually devoted himself to her
during the lecture and opera season.
Being praised for his unusual atten-
ton to his sister, the young man
promptly and proudly replied:
''No, there's nothing wonderful or
extraordinary about it. She is the
only woman | know in whom l have
the most thorough confidence. She is
always the same, always pleased and
afectionate, and to tell you the can
did truth, I'm afraid she'll go and
marry some of those imitation men
around here, and be unhappy all her
life.
"She has nobody else to look to,
and I'll take care she does not have
to look to anybody else. / suppose
some day genuine man will come
along. If he's a genuine man, won't
object. Until he does come, she's
good enough for me, and i'll ever find
as good girl, I'll marry her.
The example is most commendable.
A young man would do we'll to seek his
sisters society until be finds another
lady as good as his sister.

Tinkerlng With the Land Laws.

Washington special:-Maj Strait is en-
gagged with Judge Edgerton and another
Dakota gentleman on a bill to remedy the
defects in our public land laws, which have
been the source OF so much distress and APP
prehension to Western settlers oflate. The
aim is to secure the law and the practice OF
the general land Office under the law in re-
spect to the hearing Of contests over en-
tries. The members OF the committee
who are here from Dakota will have sew
eral conferences with Secretary Lamar
and Assistant Secretary jerks before it is
introduced. The law is to be curative in
it's features, and is not to be subversive OF
the present land system. The feature
which is OF the first Importance is that all
proceedings in entries are to be final after
the entryman has proved up, and can only
be opened by judicial proceedings in a court
OF record. Before final proof the
entryman will be required to give
six weeks advertisement OF his in
tention to do SO, and name his wit
nesses. II the government fail to object
after this notice, the entrvman's title is to
be safe from cancellation by the land office
One proposition under consideration is to
subpoena witnesses by the secretary OF the
interior in such cases. It is also considered
necessary that a tribunal to be made up OF
as good lawyers as are appointed to the
district court OF the United States should
be created as part OF the interior depart
ment for the decision OF appealed cases
which are now left to clerks who have not
the legal ability to decide them properly.

Commissioner Harris OF the Con.
necticut bureau of labor statistics,
makes the same point against large
portion OF the foreign population OF
New England, that is made against
the Chinese in the Pacific states. In
the eastern part Of the state Of Con-
necticut the French Canadians form
"aperplexing element in thelabor,prob-
lems," and "the Italians are perhaps
destined to form still more perplex-
ingelement in other parts OF thestate. !"
One-ffth OF the population OF Wind
ham county are Canadians-a larger
proportion than exists in any county
OF Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire or New York-larger, in
fact, than in any other county in the
United States, except the border coun-
ty Of Aroostook, in Maine.

Thirty-Seyen Lives Lost.

An explosion offire damp occurred recent
ly in the shaft OF the Newburg Oriel Coal
company, at Newburg, w. Va, which shook
the buildings in the immediate vicinity, and
caused CONSERVATION and alarm among the
relatives and friends OF the miners employed
there. Immediately following the sound Of
the explosion a flame of fire arose far
above the mouth OF the shaft and timber
and debris of all kinds were strewn around.
The theory advanced as to the cause OF
the explosion is that fire damp had &C.
cumulated in one OF these rooms and
was accidentally ignited by a miners lamp,
but nothing positive has yet been learned.
No one would venture in the main heading
to ascertain the fate Of the imprisoned men
until an air passage could be established.
1t is supposed that thirty-seven men are
imprisoned. The prevailing opinion is that
all are dead, although few express the
hope that some ofthem may escape the eff
feet OF the explosion, and have been able
to reach place from the fatal black damp,
which always follows an explosion of this
kind.

Three times during the past thirty.
two years there has been rise, fol
lowed by corresponding fall, in the
tide OF immigration. In 1854 the
number OF alien passengers arriving
at our ports was 427, S33, yet in 1862
the number Of immigrants reported
was only 89,O07. The nextyear there
was q change for the better, and the
increase continued until 1873, when
the total was 459, 1903. But in 1874
the ebb began, only $4,000 persons
landing, and it continued until 1878,
when there were only 138, 900 arrivals.
Then the current turned, and in 1882
the astonishing total OF 1885, 92 was
recorded. Since 1882 each year has
shown a decrease, until 1885 the az
gregate OF the arrivals was 395, 346.
The first great wave OF immigration
eliminated in 1854, the second in
1873, the third in. 1882. The first
diminution in the tide after 1854
ceased in 1852, and the second in
1878, The third isnotyet checked.

Letter from Parneu.

Rev. Charles O'Reilly, Treasurer OF the
Irish National League OF America, has re-
ceived a letter from Charles Stewart Parnell,
OF which thefollowing is an extract: Ihave
to thank you and through you the great
organization Of which you are the treasur-
er for the remarkable''and most valuable
exertions which have been made for the last
few months in aid OF our movement. Had it
not been for the prompt assistance which
reached us almost daily from America dur
ing the progress OF the election campaign,
fear many OF our nominations must have
fallen through for want OF funds. The con-
tinued growth OF the movement throughout
the Union and Cunada affords us on this
side the greatest possible encouragement,
and we feel assured that nothing will be
left undone by America to enable US speed
lily and surely to win the legislative indie
pendence OF Ireland. Wishing you all the
happiness and compliments OF che season,
l am, dear DR.. O'Reilly, yours very truly.

Mr.. Howells, the novelist, tells a
good story about his own writings.
After he had published "The Lady Of
the Aroostook," hereceived a letter
from an unknown friend, AN old salt,
who knew whereof he spoke; and in
this letter Mr.. Howells was informed
that if he allowed the Aroostook to 90
out to sea in the rig he had given her
she would be lost before she had
fairly cleared the harbor. This frank
nautical criticism was recognized BY
Mr.. Howells, and in the next edition
the vessel sailed forth under her pro1r
er rig.

To the Credit of His Conscience.

The secretary OF the treasury has re-
ceived letter postmarkd New York, con-
tanning SO. 500 in United States notes OF
large Nominations. all OF which were cut in
two, with small pieces removed from the
inside edges. The word Cancelled" was
written in ink across the face OF the notes.
The: envelope also contained note which
read:

mutilated so as to insure the governments
getting the money. Whatsoever man
sows that shall he also reap. have SOW

from the United States is so constant
and SO regular as to furnish the basis
for a profitable business. According
to the statements of the detectives en-
gagged in the case referred to, certain

this business will be restricted by en-

The New sub-Treasurer at New York.

Charles j. Cando is forty-eight years old
and a native OF France, but came to this
country when an infant. lnhis early man
hood he was engaged in the banking bust
ness until he became the private secretary Of
the late w. B.Ogden, at that time president
OF the Northwestern railway. Mr.. Ogden and
S. J. Tilden were great friends. and it was
while in the employ OF Mr.. Odgen that Mr..
Cando formed the acquaintance OF Mr.. Til
den, which has since rfpened into friendship.
In 1875 Mr.. Cando was appointed mem
Der OF the rapid transit committee, which
laid out the system OF elevated railroad
transit now in New York city. Since then
he has been engaged in recognizing rail-
road companies in the west. During the
past year he was chairman of the commit

Ohio Central railroad and is now president
OF the reorganized company, the Toledo g.
Ohio Central. With S. J. Tilden he is in
terested in some mines. During the last
presidential campaign he was the treasurer

A SUNDAY AT SEA.
Persons Who Never Go to Church Attend.
ing Service.

Persons Who Never Go to Church Attend.
ing Service.
Sunday at sea on board an English
ship has been described an infinite num-
Der OF times, and yet Mr.. Sala contrives
to give the subject touch OF novelty
in his latest newspaper letters. There
is nothing more impressive than a SER
vice on the open waters in the saloon
of a vessel and some OF these who new
er go to church ashore are, he says,
drawn to bear apart in the simplicity
and pathos of this maritime act OF
reverence. The table draped with the
union jack, the books of worship de-
corously laid out by the quartermas-
ter for the captains use, the captain
himself, gallant, solemn, his hair
'sable-silvered," his gold eye-glass
rugged to tackle the psalms and pray
ers, the lonerows ofbeautful or gentle
or high-bred feminine faces, OF brave
and dutiful English gentlemen bound
on the service of the Queen, or the
honorable tolls Of business abroad
all these assembled on the great deep
for worship combine into noble rict-
ure Of British gravity and veneration.
Near to the illustrious general who re-
stored our name in Afghanistan by
his wonderful march from Cabul to
! Candahar kneel veteran colonies with
every one an honorable history, and
young officers who will make it, and
when the captain has finished his sup
plication for the safety Of all those
who sail in this ship" the harmoni-
UNI touched by skillful fingers, leads of
a hymn Of praise, and the sound Of a
hundred blended voices passes with
the wind over the blue expanse upon
which we are speeding. The little chill
dren, kneeling around their mothers,
the dark-skinned ayahs in their gay
saris, cropped outside the saloon
doors, the punkahs waving to
and fro, the Indian boys at the win
dow, in snow-white garments and
scarlet turbans dreamily working
them, the beat of the tire
less screw, the hiss of the
sweeping seas, the rattle of cordage
and chains, and the ships bell strik-
ing the watches, furnish elements to
the little floating church which deepen
the solemn effect when the good cap
tain's voice is heard praying for the
peace and welfare of the Queen, and
| OF that glorious British empire, Of
which we are here little moving, iso-
lated fragment. No wild theorist has
yet proposed to democratize a ship.
There are famous men in plenty on
board the Parramatta, men with
names known all over the civilized
world, but the authority of Capt. An
derson is disputed in nothing. What
he says and does is law for all alike;
we live under a benevolent but abso-
Lutte monarchy, our accepted sover-
eign being the man who, by 40 years
OF experience, knows better than any
body what is safe for the ship, and
has, humanity speaking, the lives OF
all in his hands. The caucus would
have no chance OF influence upon the
deep sea, where people come face to
face with the elemental powers and
with the eternal law that the wisest
ought to command and the unwise
ought to obey.
