WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND SAY.
OyERCROwDED CHILDREN's HOMES.

To TIE Editor OF The Tribune.
sm Now that you are directing public notice
TO tho overcrowding Of children IN certain institutions,
would like to add that this Is the condition of things
I'm almost ali chidrens asylums and homes throughout
the State and that II Is due mainly to two causes These
arc first the retention OF children who should pass
through the asylum to family homo where they VIII
find the best development for their selfsusaining facu
ties The further child with vagrant or vicious tenden-
ces ia removed from his native surroundings the greater
is his chance for an upright and sefsupportng futre
therefore homes In the West which can be obtained
through the medium OF the Cldrens Aid Society," are
perhaps the best solution OF the problem. However
homes are being found every day In MASSACHUSETTS, 10
Connecticut and In Pennsylvania and wherever II mas
been tried in own State.
The second Is tho reception Of children placed
temporarily In institutions by parents or relatives wishing
TO be relieved Of their One OF the largest items In
the yearly of children at institution comes under
head returned TO parents and there Is clesrV
the part OF the aforesaid parents OF phc
ing children the public cost while they are charge
and OF Withdrawing them MS they can contribute
to the family fund An investigation OF persons placing
children In Brooklyn institutions last year resulted IN tne
discharge OF 800 children illegally committed. more
where thought desirable to receive child temporarily
board should be exactcd from the parent or wnen
ever there is possibility OF payment f. MINIos,

Newspapers in Asia.

Japan possesses at this moment
1000 newspapers. Considering that
not single journal of any kind ex-
listed, or was thought OF, in the coun-
try twenty-five years ago, this rapid
rise and spread of the newspaper
press there is one of the most remark.
able facts in the history Of journalism.
japan now boasts of a greater num-
Der of newspapers than either Italy or
Australia, of more than Spain and
Russia taken together, and Of twice as
many as the whole continent OF Asia.
The appetite of the Chinese for news
is sufficiently fed by the Pekin Gazette
which is, in fact, not a newspaper at
all--and two small sheets published
at Shanghai. Corea possesses an Of
fetal gazette since 1854, and nothing
else resembling a newspaper exists.
The French have already started a.
paper in their new colony-L' Avenir
de Tong-king; but as it is purely
French sheet, it can hardly contribute
much to the enlightenment of the ma
tives. The Persians are comparative
ly insensible to the destinations of the
daily paper. The six papers which
they possess owe their existence to
the reigning Shah, who is man OF let
ters himself, and composes poetry in
his spare hours. The natives of India
have 1000 newspapers. r.. !.

pair that the outer door had to be

Henry stopped up hole in the floor
Then there was DR.. Douglas, of Gal
ashiels, who combined brewing and
money-lending with his ministerial
functions. At aftersynod meetings,
when some of the brethren We're loath
to leave whist-playlngeven for supper,
he might be heard exclaiming, "Gen-
tlemen, hold up your hands till the
grace is said" The elder DR.. Russell
himself wore long flowing curls. con-
cocted carefully overnig ht in paper, till
once the adjusting of them made him

Henry Ward Beecher.

The following is an extract from Rev
Henry Ward Beecher's new lecture OF
| "Conscience:'
The conscience has been called {,
judge, q sentiment, an emotion. Thu
conscience ordinarily acts as an append
age. The conscience is one of thos,
things that men cannot do without, and
yet sometimes wish they could. Whe1
a child is born into life he does moi
know one thing from another. People
have found out the laws Of safety, bu:
the child has to learn all those laws.
The child is rot competent to Judge OF
right OF wrong. The intellect, from
habit, discerns what is right or wrong.
To some, custom determines what is
right or wrong. 1t is not the only
guide. People come to determine what
is right or wrong by philosophical in.
vestigation. The quality of intuition,
moral intuition, helps some to deter.
mine the question also. Aman's nature
is the result of the company his facul.
ties keep.
AS society unfolds more and more tc
our nature, the idea of right and wrong
is cultivated. The best that a primitive
race can find out may be relatively
right then. The right of an early day
is superseded by the better understand
ing of a later day. Some say slavery is
right, for it existed years ago and is
spoken of in the Bible; some say polyg.
amy is right, because it existed years
ago: A thing may be right in one age
and wrong in another. The very same
act may be right and wrong. Let a
man plunge knife into his neighbor
and be is a murderer, unless he is 9
surgeon. Where men are ignorant
their consciences are in bondage.
There are weak consciences and SUI
perstitious ones / have heard of men
with political conscience, but / never
saw one yet. Laughter. There arc
corporation consciences. Some men in
corporations allow things to be done in
the name of the corporation that would
blast them with infamy if they did it in.
'dividually:: Some men have shifting
consciences. Some men are real good
at home, but they are not SO good in
legislatures. Some men in business are
graceful, pleasant, polite and good, but
when they 60 home they are cross and
sour, and their families have to take it.
Iii the play OF thought and emotion we
are iii danger of bringing men up g act
from taste. That which we need most
is instruction in what is right and
wrong. and we not only. need instruc.

Novelist Howells and His Dainty
Wife.

Washington Letter to the Savannah News
Howells is dunpy little man, with
a fat brown face, full jaws, hand
some chin, eyes that ooze warm,
bright light from their hanging lids,
and wearing his hair parted in the
middle and banged squarely and most
delightfully."- over his brow. That bang
is a touch of nature that makes all
women:s hearts kind to him. He is
understood, walks with little lunpity
gait most fetching, and has boyish
manners hard to harmonic with those
stories OF his Boston exclusiveness.
Mrs. Howells, his dainty little wife,
looks like a precious bit of old China
like fragile, creamy tinted cup, sprigged
all over with blue forget-me-nots,

Through the lucid atmosphere of fine
