Opium smokers Caught.

On Monday evening Officer Marcos
and Station House Keeper Crabbe
caught two opium smokers in a house on
Smith street. There were three men in
the room when they entered it, but one
escaped through a window. The pipe
used by the smokers had been thrown
out Of the window and was found in the
yard. The two men were taken to the
Station House along with a small guam
tits OF opium and other paraphernalia.

I'VE do not 90 the full length with our
correspondent in condemning what is
certainly a reprehensible practice. The
Government might certainly carry all its
proposals by force of numbers, but if it
refused select committees when asked
for by the Opposition, it would be
charged with an attempt at conceal
ment, and of sitting discussion and in
quiry. The truth is, the Opposition
members have been Systematically OBJ
structing business, creating unnecessary
delay by perpetual references to select
committees Inasmuch as committees
cannot sit while the Assembly is in
session without special permission, it
follows that the bulk of the legislative
business may be indefinitely chung up"
waiting for the reports of committees,
and when these come in the whole affair
is open for discussion, because the Legis-
lature is not bound to accept the finding
of committee or TO be guided by its
line of investigation. 1t is quite clear
that a point has been reached in the
business of the session when the Gov
eminent should lead the Legislature,
and not give way, to the detriment of
public business, to the plans of irrespon-
sible Obstructives.-ED. p c.. ADvER-

Government by scIset Committees.

ED. p. c. ADvERrIsER-Sir: Many
years ago lived in a British colony, in
whose Legislature during one session
the mania Tor referring all sorts
OF things to select committees pre-
vailed TO an extent which l have
only since seen equalled by the Ha-
waiian Legislature OF 1886. There as
here were to be found supporters OF the
Government who permitted this assump-
ton Of executive duties by the Legisla-
ture on the plea that it was better to
allow the fullest investigation OF every
thing. The plea is good enough in sup
port of the prerogative of the Legislature
10 criticise to its hearts content any
thing and everything the Government
proposes. But it is altogether absurd
when it is carried to the length of dele
eating to select committees of the House
the functions OF the Cabinet. Ministers
knowledge as to what is needed to carry
on the business OF the country. Their
estimates ought TO be accepted in regard
to all mere departmental details, or else
they ought to be turned out 'neck and
crop" The references to select COM
mittees of items of departmental ex-
penditure which have been made in the
Legislature this session ought never to
have been permitted by Ministers. In
the case of the Colonial Legislature
Which l have spoken of above, it was
tie fact that Ministers had difficulty in
commanding any majority at all that
made them weakly succumb to the refer
ence OF all sorts OF things to select com
mittees OF the House. Every one of the
questions, however, which were SO re-
ferred, involved points of policy. The
propriety of things to attempt to deal in
such way with departmental details,
and had they attempted it the Ministers
would either have won the day or re-
tempt to absorb the functions OF the
Executive by the Legislature was hOtly
resented by the people of the colony in
question. The press of the colony, by
satire and argument combined, coerced
the Assembly into reviewing its own
conduct, and such an attempt at "gov-
eminent by select committees" has
never been repeated there. Here mat
tiers are far worse than they were in that
colony. The veriest details of depart
mental expenditure are referred to select
committees, and the Government, l re-
gret to see, looks on and sometimes
smilingly approves. This style OF things
is an absolute farce-it is playing at gov
eminent; and the sooner Ministers put
their feet down and withstand it the
better for themselves and for the coun-
try. They are well supported in the
House, and it is sheer waste of time for
them not to use their majority to carry
items which they have carefully con-
sidered beforehand and know to be
necessary. y.

Hor.e stealing a. a Rusip-...

The Greenfield Gazette of last week
says; Few people are aware to what extent
horse stealing is carried on. A gentleman,
who after the stealing OF the horse from the
Montague town farm few weeks ago spent
considerable time in trying to get trace OF the
missing property, informs US that to his sur.
prise he found IN going from town to town
that depredAtions of the kind had been sys-
temAtically going on for long time. The
horses taken are seldom valuable. The thieves
want only such animals as can be easily trad
ed OF. There is narrow section of coun.
try, commencing in the state OF Rhode Island,
extending north through sparsely settled towns
in Massachusetts and terminating in New
Hampshire, which is overrun by these thieves
When a horse is stolen it is 'swapped' and
passed from hand TO hand 30 that It is very
difficult, even il the animal is recovered, to
fasten upon the original thief. Many Of
these men, who belong to decidedly rough
class, rest under suspicion, but they are sell
dom convicted and sent to prison. There is
a man in Worcester county town VINO car.
ries on a regular horse and carriage exchange.
He buys whatever property Of the kind is
brought to him without asking questions II
a stolen horse or wagon is found at his place
he gives it up without opposition, his profits
in the way of trade being sufficient to allow
of occasional losses in that way. Horses
that come to him are fed and groomed while
carriages and sleighs go through a transfor-
nation in the paint shop. He is making
money and claims to be doing a Legitimate
business"

sue their journey, and at nightfall they
reached the haystack where they had had
their only sleep. The dog was still alive, but
unable to rise, and was mere skeleton.
The desire OF life once more revived In
their breasts, aud they ate with rsvenous ap.
pettes a large quantity Of the inner bark Of q
species OF elm. This soon produced deliri-
um, and they lay down amid the hay in the
greatest mental agony. BY daylight the
next morning they were better, and would
have risen but recolecting that their mate
rials for making FIRE we're exhausted they
resolved to roll themselves up ia the hay
again, aud await the hour of death. Scarce
ly had this resolution been formed, when
they heard the sound Of a cow-bell, coming
apparently from the opposite side OF the riv.
err The sound of a COW. bell, they knew, was
a certain sign of a human habitaton at no
great distance; they therefore arose at once,
as il gifted with new energy, and soon per-
ceived og-house, as IL recently erected, but
no sign of inhabitant. They could hardly
believe their eyes, thinking the log house
might be, after all. creature Of their imag-
ination, disordered by long abstinence. At
length, convinced of its reality, they began
to search for means to ford the river, which
turned out 10 be the Au Sable. Finding q
crossing place, they we're not long in reach
ing the opposite shore where they we're met
by white man and two Indians, who took
them to the house OF a man named Towns
end who was well known to them, and from
whom they received every mark Of kindness
their forlorn condition required.
The ringing of the cow-bell was happy
circumstances for them. The river flowed in
TO Lake Huron at point 100 miles from any
settlement, and they we're only 80 miles from
the lake when, meeting with the swamp,
they had inadver emily bent their steps back
into the woods along their own track. Towns
ends log hut was so miles from their home,
and had only recently been erected near
salt spring be had discovered some time be-
fore.
Mrs Townsend attended to the frozen feet
of Nowlau; and after they had rested and
sufficiently recovered strength, they started
for their own settlement by the aid of a blazed
line-bark taken from trees with an axe by
previous traveler-snd on Christmas eve, 13
days after they had left them, they had once
more the happiness of entering their own
homes and enjoying the comforts of their
own fresides. II -Chdm5erSs Journal.

PracticaI Teaching.

1t is gratifying to learn that one school
superintendent has set about giving instruc-
tions in the important matter of "how to get
living" An Iowa paper states that Mr..
Leigh Hunt, superintendent of the schools in
East Des Moines, has adopted plan of CIV
ing practical instructions in earning and saw
ing money. In the first place be has encour-
aged all the children to open bank account,
and learn how to do business at a bank. In
order that they might have something to de.
posit, he advised them all to do something to
enable them to earn money. Boys with rich
fathers, boys with poor fathers and boys
without fathers or mothers are encouraged
to earn money in an honest and manly sort
of way. II accounts are to be relied upon,
they black all the boots, carry all the papers,
shovel all snow from sidewalks and carry in
all the coal, Many have contracted to make
gardens and set trees next spring. Some
are learning to paint houses, others to lay
brick, tend mason" whitewash rooms, put
on wall paper, vsrnish furniture, repair shoes
and put knives and saws in order. Nearly
every boy is becoming accomplished in some
department of useful labor. Not q few are
learning trades during odd hours" and
many have tools with which they work at
home. Those who are learning trades and
doing mechanical work that requires consid-
cradle skill meet and compare the articles
they have made. There is a friendly rivalry
to see who will have the largest bank account
and furnish the best specimens of handicraft.
The work out of school is said to have a good
effect on the work done in school. Boys are
getting reputation for thrift, skill and econ
omy, as well as for scholarship. They are
learning to do busine,s in a business way
Years ago Plato advised teaching boys the
things they would require when they be-
came men. 1t is pleasant TO know that this
advice has been needed at last.-IHe South

Spiritual Preaching the Cure for Mer-
cantilism.

The Rev. Edward Hungerford, in an essay
entitled Spiritual Preaching for our Times, !"
in the January Century, says: "Scienoe has
grsndly stimulated industry by increasing its
rewards. The prizes of enterprising labor
are great, often gittering. The power of
wealth is fascinating. The successful pro-
ducer or dealer of to day is a prince. The
industrious laborer is rich. And the result
of all this is that laziness is ceasing to be
fashionable the nobility of England are
learning to make themselves useful. Science
sets the world astir. The goal of its motion
is gain. The race is eager. Hence NAM
mon-worship. Hence mercsntilism, the in
ordinate estimate of wealth the grading of
all things at a value in cash society graded
on a cash basis; ideslity sacrificed to material
good virtue, patriotism, heroism, manhood
counting for less, money counting for more !;
votes, offices, justice having their price.
This is mercantilism, the great danger
to society; greater because more subtle
than nihilism. 1t creeps into literature,
science, art politics, the state, the church (;
and here arises the demand for that spiritual
teaching which fell from the lips of Jesus
the antidote for inordinate worldly care and
worldly striving; the lofty view of a life
which is more than meat: God coming in
among the elements of this world, clothing
lilies, feeding birds, summoning man to the
glory of an ideal kingdom and to the attain
ment first and foremost of character, rooted
in God and Gods righteousness. The cure
for the mercantile spirit is not ethics but
faith. 1t is not a moral code but the divine
Fatherhood. 1t is not even the golden rule
except as the golden rule is formulated out
of the spirit of Christian Brotherhood"

Two young Detroiters, who are acquainted
with a country schoolmaster having a school
about twelve miles from the city, were invt-
ed out to a spelling school a few nights
since, and they took horse and buggy and
drove out. There was large gathering of
farmers, and an exciting contest was looked
for. just previous 10 the beginning of the
exercise young fellow, whose head would
have bumped a six-foot mark, and whose
weight was about l60 pounds, called one of
the DetroiteTs aside and asked
"Are you two fellows going to spell ?"

"Purty good at it ?"

They stood up with him until all the Others
went down, and then with look full of the
deepest meaning both missed and left him
victor. When he had carried off the honors
he came around and said
