Persons Who Never Go to Church Attena.
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 a 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 60 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 long rows ofbeautisul 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 q 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 off
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.

There are famous men in plenty q

he says and does is law for all alike
we live under a benevolent but absc

of experience, knows better than any

never go to war except OH some point that
or the other-and even an offense of that
magnitude we agreed in 1871 to settle by
arbitration and not by gage of battle.-
| But the country is weary in hearing in
| Nr- Webster's phrase that Canadian con-
stables are arresting American crews and
! the Canadian gunboats are capturing the
American flag. And all this on the as
sumption of treaty power which the
United States denies and upon a technical
construction put forward quarter of
century after the treaty went into opera
ton and had received peaceful and fair
construction. We shall await the pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Bayards correspondence
with Great Britain on the subject of the
seizure Of American fishing vessels with
deep interest-shall wait with the hope, if
not the expectation. that he will leave his
country in a better position at the close of
negotiation than he has thus far main
tanned for her.
OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
" He referred to another international
trouble which has increased our sense of
chagrin and humiliation. ''In contrast
with our patient endurance of Canadian
outrage toward American fishermen he
said, I'VE have made an unnecessary and
undignified display of insolence and bra
vado towards Mexico. There is no ade-
quate cause for the demonstration. l do
not stop at this point to narrate the pre-
else facts attending the Imprisonment of
Mr.. Cutting. | know that we cannot
without loss of character for honor and
chivalry begin our negotiations with
threats of war. 1 maintain that when the
United States agreed to arbitration as the
means of adjusting our grave difficulties
with England we came under bonds to
public opinion of the world to offer arbi-
tration to any weaker power as the means
Of settling difficulties in all cases where
we cannot adjust them by direct negotia-
tion. If we are not willing to accept that
conclusion we place ourselves in the dis
reputable attitude of accepting arbitration
with strong power and resorting to force
with weak power. l am sure no Ameri-
can citizen of self-respect desires to see
his country subjected to that degradation.
For the United States to attack Mexico
without giving her an opportunity to be
heard before an impartial tribunal of arbi-
tration would be for great nation of I'M
limited power toput herself to open shame
before the world

moral influence in favor of the Democ-
