Perhaps the criticisms made by CORE
spondent elsewhere of wild cooperative
scheme at Seattle, w. t., are applicable to a
similar project which has its origin in Mime
apolis, and which has been condemned by
many warm friends and lifelong adherents to
the plan Of cooperation as impractcable and
altogether unsatisfactory.

Grand street is an overflow of the Bowery
at one end, and the outlet of tenement life its
whole length Night and day, at midnight
and early morning, the crowds never cease,
and scarcely seem to grow less at any hour.
The side streets are lined with crumbling,
filth-drenched houses, in which live the for
eign population. Italians crowd the door
ways, women and babies lounge on the curb
stones, and the older children play in the
cutters.
Here and there Spaniard stands in the
shadow of some post, while his eyes search
your face with baleful gleam that makes
you shudder. In the evening, while the street
bands play on the corners, French girls
dance on the sidewalk, and the narrow street
seems to be playground rather than thor
oughfare, for the people empty themselves
into the street even before the sun goes
down. IriShmen, Germans, Chinese and
banished Russians live here side by side, and
mingle day and night in the throng.
But the day brings some curious features to
Grand street, a half sembance to an air of
reSpectability, that it possesses at no other
time, for after sundown the time for proprie-
ties is over, and all restraint is laid aside

Upright walking is sure walking.

Upright walking is sure walking.
Follow after holiness; 1t will repay
your pursuit.
1t is good thing to learn caution by
the misfortune of others.
1t is not our beliefs that frighten US
half so much as our fancies.
If the power to do hard work is not
talent, it is the best possible substitute
for it.
Let man try faithfully, manfully, to
be right, he will grow more and more
right.
He that can feast upon another'S mis-
cry, vexation, or disappointment has
most unhealthy soul.
Every man throws on his surrounds
ings the sunshine or the shadow that ex-
lists in his own soul.
We can only have the highest happi>
ness by having wide thoughts and as
much feeling for the rest of the world
as ourselves.
Don't spoil to-day by thinking of to-
morrow, OF mar your breakfast By spec
ulating on what you shall have for din
ner.
Keep your eyes open wherever you
may go and wherever you may happen
to be. Train yourself to observe quick+
ly and justly.
We.instinctively applaud the courage
of self. assertion we should honor with
still higher approval the courage of
self-restTaint.
To reprove small faults with undue
yehemence is as absurd as if man
should take great hammer because he
saw fly on his friends forehead.
A wise man knows an ignorant one
because be has been ignorant himself;
but the ignorant cannot recognize the
wise, because he has never been wise.
The only freedom care about is the
freedom to do right; the freedom to dc
wrong am ready to part with on the
cheapest terms to any one who will
take it.
No one need hope to rise above his
present situation who suffers small
things to pass by unheeded, or who ne
elects. metaphorically speaking, to pick
up a farthing because it is not shilling.

morning after the great calamity finds people
as badly scared as just after the first EARTH
quake shock. They are panicNstTicken and at
loss which way to turn. They are afraid of
another shock and do not dare to go into their
houses. They camped out in the streets and
on the hills and IN lots last night, huddled
together to keep warm. Half-clad women
held their babes in their arms, while the older
children clutched at their clothing and buried
their heads in the folds of the few garments
family endeavored to keep its members to-
gether. Those whe had rushed out into the
streets half clothed when the first shock star
tied them, were afraid to return to dress.
They were in momentary dread of another
shock. Women moaned and babies cried, and
strong men stood still with fear. As each
shock was felt, women clutched their children
TO their breasts and then fell on their knees
and prayed frantically to God to save them.
Wherever hslf>dozen persons were gathered
together they stood in fear and trembling.
They looked in wild manner in every direc>
tion, and started at every noise.
No pen can picture the sufferings of these
people. Young children suffered greatly from
cold and hunger. Fathers and mothers we're
afraid to go in search of food and clothing.
They did not know what minute another
shock would come, and they dreaded separa>
tion.
Wherever the eye rests ruin and desolation
are seen. Houses are scattered on all sides.
The stores, which were deserted all day yes
terday ARE now being opened by their owners.
The hotels were all deserted, too, but the Oc>
cupants are coming back to day, The streets
are filled with debris. Horses are running
about without owners. No movement has
yet been made to bury the dead. The coroners
are furnishing certificates of accidental death
and victims will probably be buried toNmor-
row. The injured are to. day receiving better
attention than yesterday. Some cf them are
fatally hurt. The! total loss cannot be given
accurately but it will be in the neighborhood
of $1,000, ,000 Communication with the out
side world, which, up to to-day, has been by
single telegraph wire will be resumed by
evening. Telegraph facilities are also prom-
ised. AS soon as trains begin to run regularly
many persons viii leave the city.

The Highest Observatory on Record.

The Tyrolese are going 10 do the highest OBJ
servatory on record The advantages of regu-
lar accounts of what goes on few thousand
feet above US have long been recognized by
meteorologists. The difficulty is, how to get

may be gathered from the description of the
kind of quarters in process of construction for

But although his wooden habitation Is con-
structed as strongly and solidly as possible,
and anchored to the rock by steel wire ropes,
it is anticipated that Of stormy night the
whole structure may slip its cable and cruise
off bodily into the valley. In such emergen-
cies the man of science in possession Is rec
commended to retire to a massive stone tower
of refuge, with walls Of enormous thickness,
which, it is thought, will resist the very worst

why New Orleans Wasn't Bombarded.
Before Butler arrived with his troops, Ad-
miral Farragut steamed up in his flagship, the
Hartford followed by his fleet, and took pos
session of the city in the name of the United
States government. A company of marines
was sent on shore, and shortly after the Stars
and Stripes were floating over the custom
house. The city was captured but not sub
jected, and Admiral Farragut, apprehending
some attempt might be made to take down the
colors, arranged plan of action in case the
attempt should be made. A couple of howit-
zers were fastened in the rigging of the Hart
ford, and a man stationed at each one. From
this elevated position the lookouts could COM
mand good view of the custom house and
the town. They We're instructed at the first
indication of an attempt to haul down the
flag to fire their guns. A broadside from the
Hartford would follow, and this would be the
signal for the whole fleet to open fire on the
city.
The next day was Sunday. Farragut, who
was very religious man, had ordered all
hands below for prayers, only the officer of
the day and the two lookouts remaining above
deck. Rain threatened at the time and the
fuses for igniting the big guns when in place
were exposed to the weather. The officer
wishing to save the fuses from being spoiled,
went around to each gun and removed them
to place of shelter. Suddenly the flag was
seen to go down from the custom house. The
lookouts fired their howitzers, and their pray
ers below came to an abrupt ending. Officers
and men rushed upon deck and took their
places The thoughtfulneSs of the officer of
the day in removing the fuses caused slight
delay, and before the broadside could be de-
hvered the lookouts reported to the admiral
that they saw no indications of disturbance
or unusual excitement in the streets, and Far
ragut concluded that the hauling down of the
flag was the act of some reckless person and
not revolt of the city, as it was afterward
found. He therefore decided to investigate
the matter first, and gave the order to hold
the fire. Nothing could have prevented the to-
tai destruction of New Orleans if the fleet had
once commenced to shell the town. Farra-
CUTS religious habits saved the city. Had he
remained on deck the fuses would not have
been touched and the broadside signal would
have been given without delay.-New York

Expense. of a Parliamentary Candidate.


A most important provision is contained in
the statute of the 25 and 26 Victoria, chap.
%: "No payment shall be made by or on be-
half of any candidate, otherwise than
through his authorized agents." This rule
still holds, and the little paragraph is prac-
tically the basis upon which the British cleo
ton laws stand.
When person wishes to stand for a con-
stituency, he first secures the services of an
election agent, through whose hands must
pass every penny spent by the candidate to
secure his return, who, at the end of the
campaign, must account, upon oath, for
every penny he has expended on behalf of his
employer. Nor are his expenses capable of
indefinite initiation. Statute after statute has
fixed what shall be paid by the candidate for
each step his agent takes in his behalf. Al
though the allowances, in view of the cheaper
rate of living in England, are calculated on
a most liberal scale, yet almost any candi-
date in this country who "gets off" as easily
as his English brother might congratulate
