RIDICuLoUs CHURCaMEN.

1t will be remembered that the Apostle
PAUL once rebuked the people of city.
whittier he had gone to preach, because
their principal occupation seemed to be to
gather on the street corners in search of
some thing new. The Apostle PAUL is
badly needed in Philadelphia religious cir
cles just at this time. The Philadelphia
papers are discussing the peculiar jealous
les and rivalries which exist between the
congregations of two of the most fashion
able churches in that city. 1t is a peculi-
arity of Philadelphia church-going people
to want sensation, and IN consequence
the pulpit that can present the newest at
traction attracts the largest congregations.
Recently the church officials of one of the
rival fashionable churches gave the rector
a vacation ard lie started off on journey
to Palestine. AS soon as the officers of the
other church heard of it they at once con-
cluded that it would never do to have the
rival rector return with budget OF stories
about the holy land. as it would he drawing
advertisement. So they posted their pastor
off in full haste with instructions TO
tarry not by the way. but to use every
effort to head his clerical competitor off and
get into the Holy City first. Now it is
nip and tuck race between the clergymen as
to which will finish the tour of Judea
first and get back home to relate his expert
ence. In the meantime the rival congrega-
tons are holding daily caucuses, appoint
ing committees and raising and forwarding
large sums of money to their respective
shepherds to meet travelling expenses. All
Philadelphia society is in an uproar over it.
And yet the heathens are unconverted and
women and children are dying in Phla-
delphia from cold and hunger. 1t is no
wonder that religious work makes slow
progress when religious people are guilty Of
such ridiculous conduct. The Apostle
PAUL is needed back here on earth, and
needed badly

BLAINE AND LOGAN.

''ME and JACK" are out. The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York World
says that, although Mr.. BLAINE and Gen.
LOGAN were in Washington few days
ago and both stopped at the same hotel,
neither of the distinguished Republican
leaders called on the other. This remarka-
bic circumstance could only be accounted
for upon the ground that GOODNESS has
sprung up between them. COlOring is
given to this view of it by the fact that all
of Gen. LoGAN's personal friends in Wash
ngtOn take Mr.. EDMUNDS' side in their
talk over the recent BLAINE -EDMUNDs epi-
sOde in New York. 1t is given out that
EDMUNDs looks kindly on LoGAN's aspir-
atiOns. 1t is also stated that Mr.. BLAINE
has sgnitied a partiality for Senator ALLI-
SON, and in case he cannot win the nomi-
nation in 1888. it is thought his influence
will go to the Iowa senator. But whatever
may be the result in 1888. from present in
dicatiOns it is safe to assert that the Re-
publican ticket will not be BLAINE and
LOGAN again. The firm has dissolved

MOURNING sTALwARTs.

The New York StalwartS are said to be
in despair because they have no MOSES.
Since CoNKLING's retirement and AR
THURS death they have 10 leader. There
is no man among them who has the ability
to plan, or the strength to combine men to-
gether to carry out plan. 1t is lamenta-
bic state of affairs for the Stalwarts, but a
most wholesome condition for the country.
The New York Stalwarts are largely re-
sponsibIe for the free use of the machine
in American politics. Roscoe CONKLING'S
imperious leadership had demOralizing
effect, in that it stihed independence in po-
lltical affairs. CoNKLING was free from
the suspicion of corruption. yet he was a
more dangerous man to our institutions
than other leaders who were motor OuSly
corrupt. 1t is possible that CoNKLING may
be recalled to resume his former suprem-
acy over the Stalwarts, but he will never
lead them to victory again. The days OF
StalwartiSm are numbered.

PREsIDENs> HE PAST.
Where hey Are a.aried and the
Amount of Their Wealth.

Of the twenty presidents who have passed
away, Gen. Arthur is only the fourth to be
buried within the borders of the Empire
state. James Monroe died at his daughters
house in New York city. and was buried
with civic and military h0nOrS in the old
cemetery on Second avenue. His grave
was unmarked by monument for several
years, and then the legislature of Virginia
had his remains disinterred and con-
veved to Richmond, where they were
afterward buried in Hollywood cemetery.
Martin Van Buren. the eighth president,
was bnried in the old church burying
ground at Undertook, and was the first of
the nations chief magistrates to find a per-
manent resting place in New York. A
handsome granite shaft, erected by his
sons. marks his grave. Millard Fillmore's
grave is beside those of his two wives and
and daughters i'll Forest Lawn cemetery.
Buffalo. The remains of Gen. Grant,
whose funeral was the most i'm
posing ever seen in the United
States. lie in splendid tomb at
Riverside. and Gen. Arthurs body was in
TERED in Rural cemetery. near Albany.
In point OF aye. Gen. Arthur was the sixth
youngest of the presidents. Gen. Grant
attained the dignity of chief magistrate at
the age of Al. Franklin Pierce was next
youngest being 48 years old at the time of
the Inauguration. James K. Polk was
only 40 when he attained presidential
hon0rs. Garfield was inaugurated in his 10th
year. When called to the nobleSt position
known to the American form of govern
ment. Gen. Arthur had just turned So
President Cleveland was made chief ruler
at the age of Al. Gen. Arthur was the
first of the presidents who wore side-w whsk
ers. None of the other presidents wore
any hair on their faces until Abraham Lin
coins time. and Grant, Hayes and Garfield
were the only ones who had full boards.
President Cleveland is the first and only
president who has worn a mustache only.
Gen. Arthur was regarded as the best
dressed of the nations presidents. In
the matter of wealth. Gen.
Arthur comes about fourth on
the list. Washington died worth about
$3.50, 900; Madison left at his death some
thing like $3.50, 0OO and Van Buren's estate
was valued at $500. 600. Jefferson was
wealthy when he became president but
died insOlvent, as did also James Monroe.
Buchanan had about 100000 when he
died. while Lincoln left less than 500, 900.
Grant was ruined by the failure of Grant q
Ward. The sale of his memoirs, however,
has netted his widow half million. The
estate left by President Garfield was not
worth more than $40, 900. Numerous gifts
made to his widow have increased this
amount tenfOld.

WIPE 1T OUT.

Now that congress is about to resume
work at the old stand, it may not be out
of place to call the attention of the senate
to the fact that the popular demand for the
abolition of that travesty on free govern
ment known as the executive session, is
just as strong as it was last winter. Star
chamber proceedings are not suited to our
institutions. And. more than that the
secret sessions of the senate are really the
hot-beds of the bulk of congressional cor
ruption. 1t is time that the infamy should
be wiped out. And. to make sure that ii
shall be done in the near future, it would
be good idea for the several state legisla-
lures to adopt resolutions requesting the
senators to vote to abolish executive ses-
siOns. If the senators refused to obey the
instructions it would be at their peril.

They are too childlike themselves. When
a girl is born to sultan they fire seven
guns; when boy. twenty one. The boys
die early; the girls are apt to live. This is
supposed to be a divine interpostiOn of
Providence to prevent too many claimants
to the throne. Babies are dressed like
mumnies in swadding clothes for six
months; tn en- the boys are put IN trousers,
some in generals or colonels' uniforms reg

When the sultan takes wife no cere-
mony is considered necessary more than TO
present his bride. The new sultan inheritS
all the widows and slaves of his predt-
ce5sor, and every year of his reign, at the
Teast of the Ramazan. he receives a new
one from his mother, and takes any other
girl or woman to his harem who happens to
strike his fancy. Slaves who become
mothers are instantly promoted to the rank
of sultana. Six months before the feast Of
RamaZan, the valide Sultana orders that all
the young candidates be brought to her.
and she chooses fifteen and sometimes
more of the lot. These are Immediately
put under diet and training. and
at the beginning of the great feast
she again chooses, and this time
the choee is final At the evening of the
appointed day the sultan. upon retiring,
finds his new bride standing nude, with
folded hands and lowered eyes. at the foot
of his bed. After he has retired she must
lift the bed clothes at the foot and crawl
into bed in that way as sign of subjec-
ton.
Girls arrive at legal majority at years of
age, and are frequently married at 10.
Children of 70 and - are often seen with
babies of their own. They are old at 25.
The old Turkish women have hard lot Of
it. Beyond a respect for age which they
contrive to inspire by tooth and nail among
other wives younger than they, their lives
are not happy. Still. they are provided for,
and as long as man lives he feeds his
family, one and all alike.

table in this portion of the country, are old
timers They all dealt in cattle, and were
making thousands, when newcomers rushed
in and horse and cattle thieves became
abundant. These old-timerS organized
vigilance committee and strung
men up by the dozen. Gran.
vile Stuart. who is also a millionaire. is
yet president of the committee, and is cred
tied with passing Judgment of death on
thirty-five stock thieves during 1885. These
pioneers had their annual banquet about a
month ago. when many exciting instances
were discussed. One incident was very
curious. The vigilance committee was on
the trail of a half-breed. who had been
committing depredations in stock. The
moose in the lariat was already tied, and the
men were all thirsty for the robbers blood
About sundOwn one day they came across
a man who was the ideal picture of half
breed His face was very dark and very
dirty, and his long coarse hair hung in
lavish abandonment over his shoulders.
He was driving some horses when
he was commanded to halt, and the
man with the lariat tossed it about
the half breeds neck. They accused him
of being the th eff, and were making for the
nearest tree The man made piteOus plea
for his life. and assured them he was not
half breed, but a full blooded Englishnan.
A BritiSher who was foremost among the
viglantes thought he would, as a matter of
form, ask him few questions. He asked
the seem ny half-breed what part OF Eng
land he came from. The answer was Lon
don, and the university he attended was
Oxford. The wild mans interrogatOr then
asked him to repeat something he had
learned there. The thoroughly frightened
man repeated something of VirgiPs Eneid
in Latin. and the Britsher threw up his
hat. fired off his revolver and disengaged
his captor from the lariat They had
good laugh over the matter afterward. and
the Englishman who came so near being
ushered into eternity is now more careful
in caring for his personal annearance.

boom in mining stocks as evidence of tide
of prosperity that is about to sweep over

to observe rapid advance in any sort of

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 5.-Please allow me
space for few words concerning the fail
ure of A. p. Martin & Co., of Boston,
Mass. The reason assigned is that the
Knights of Labor had made unreasonable
demands of said firm. which demands. hay-
ing been granted, threw the firm into bank
ruptcy. The average weekly wages of
boot and shoe employees in Massachusetts
was lin 1889 S9.73, or S505.96 yearly.
SupDOsing the boot and shoe workers asked
for and received and increase OF 10 per
cent, their yearly income would then be
$685. 55. We find that the total average
earnings of mechanics family (Of nve
workers) is $S03.47; total expense for liy-
ing, S754, 40; balance. $40. 05-S49. 05 TO

charitable purposes. etc. 1t must cost the
boot and shoe employees as much to live as
the mechanics. But they have not so
much pay by $297.5l. How do they get
along? Now. if Martin q Co. are honor
able men let them acknowledge that they
have been baukrupted by many different
causes, a few of which l will name.
First, by havi g to maintain too high liy-
ing, in order t. rank as one of the elite of

which has forced the laborer's wages so
low that many cannot buy boots and shoes
and only have some old cast-of things given
by some charitable institution; which state
of affairs causes an under-cOnsumption OF
boots and shoes. Fourth. by having to
compete with states prison goods. Fifth.

ATURKusH WEDDING.
Marriage Customs 4 norg the Fai itl.-
fuI Servants of the Sultan.


All weddings in Turkey, among Turks.
whether in provinces or cities, are arranged
bv old women. and are complicated, tedious
affairs. The bridegroom holds fete several
davs at his home for his men friends, and
the prospective bride at her home with her
Young friends-girls, of course. The night
before the wedding the married women of
her acquaintance come and eat the married
woman's dinner with her, which consists
principally, as Sam Weller would say. of
'.swarry'' of leg of mutton and trimmings.
The next day the bride is taken to the
bridegroonls house in a sedan chair, with a
retinue of slaves carrying her wedding
presents on trays on their heads, covered
with colored tarlatau. The procession is
sometimes quite imposing. The brides
female relatives are also there in the new
harem until nIghtfall. and they retire to
their homes. leaving the bride sitting on
sort of throne, veiled. The bridegroom is
then admitted, and he is to throw himself
at the brides feet and offer her his wedding
present of scane handsome jewelry, and
beg her to raise her veil and strike him
blind by her beauty. Sometimes he is
struck dumb by her uglness. for he never
looks on her face until after the wedding.

is great rejoicing if It b boy, less il a

Turkish women are not good mothers.

You ask me why love my love,
All, think not love needs proving,
She swa me like the breeze above
That keeps the tree-tops moving.
In her fair face find a bloom
Life would not know without it,
Which. like rose that sheds perfume,
Makes sweet the world about it.
In her deep eyes I see a light
That makes her slightest glances
As bright, TO light. as stars a. night,
My life's dark fears and faEeies-
Through her dear voice there sounds charH
That gives my life attraction,
That bids my stoutest doubt dlsarm,
And nerves my noblest action.
Of all life's hues is she the sun;
Nor whittier could doves be
Than hers to me, for all are one,
And that one is, she loves me.
