WHAT AILS 1.-THE SCNc'

Twice within week we have re-
ceived from the Baltimore Sim office
marke ed copies of that excellent daily,
directing our attention TO special arti
cles unusually laudatCry of itself. Last
week we received one copy containing
an article under the caption ''ihe
Baltimore .SuR IS TIE Exponent of
the Business Community" indicated
by blue pencil marks. Fulsome al
though the article was in praise of it
self we read it entirely, eminating from
so respectable a source, and had not
space been al a premium in THE WIG,
should have copied ',as It was evidently
desired we like all other contemporaries
similarly complimented should do.
This week (Tuesday) another specially
marked copy is sent US, directing at
tention to another tllttering editorial
on itself "The Paper of the People, >
while as we write Wednesday, we
notice that i, turns to similar account
the neat designs of the Pope Manu-
featuring Company of Boston in their
advertising pamphlet OF clippings from
newspapers by remarhing of itself
'that the Sun of course occupies a
prominent place in the collection"
Now this stvle of self-advertising
seems pardonaJle enough in the case
of new journal seeking popular favor,
but really seems inconsistent and quite
the other thing, in the case CT an old
established daily newspaper like the
SIN whose proprietor, Mir. Abel, counts
his wealth by the million, and who
probably holds the title of more val
liable real estate than any newspaper
millionaire in this country.
We have always thought that the po-
sition OF the Baltimore SIN as a lead
ing commercial and political journal
was SO well assured that nobody ever
questioned the fact. Everybody knows
it Is all excellent newspaper. We
freely coucede that It is the first eX-
change we looa for every morning, but
this everlasting AMI eternal self praise
gets tiresome even when so respectfully
associated. We have always noticed
in the world that people assured Of
their own respectability are never ner-
vous or concerned either about it OF
that of others. If the .SuU is the lead
ing journal OF Baltimore, the people of
that city know it without being told
50 over and over again in the .NHN' $
own columns.
This is an exhibition of weakness.
If it is not the leading journal, 10
amount of assertion on Its part will
change the fact.

i IN the present crisis of the labor
agtation, one of the encouraging signs
is the earnestness with which the clergy
as class are taking hold of the matter
sNct long ago one of the professional
labor reformers made the assertion
that there were but one or two clergy
men in the country who had given any
serious attention to the labor question.
The remark was very far from being
true at the time when it was made
apart from the professors of political
economy, the ministers of the Gospel
have given the subject more intelligent
study than any other class OF profes
sional men. But during the last year
their interest in the matter has been
greatly quickened ; it is the uppermost
theme in their assemblies and the
duty of the Christian church to en-
torce the Obligations which wealth and
power involve, and to preach to all
classes the gospel of good will, is clearly
discerned. Whatever reason there may
have been for the charge that the
church was on the side of capital in
this conflict, it is evident that the pas
tors of the churches are now generally
land heartily endeavoring to remove
that reproach and to assert with all
fidelity the rights Of the weak ana the
duties of the strong. The fact that the
moral power of the Christian church
is now exerted in behalf Of justice and
humanity encourages the hope that a
peaceful solution of the difficulty may
be reached in due season.-7He Cen

FOX AND FOWL.
Cute Reynard's sagacity In the Role Of an
Undertaken.

Cute Reynard's Sagacity In the Role Of an
Undertaken.
A pleasing incident, that adds to the
fox's reputation for shrewdness that is
somewhat better than cunning, appears
in the Liverpool Courier. A Scotch
correspondent writes to that journal:
lone of the stalkers in the deer forest
here has a young fox which he caught
when quite cub, and which he keeps
chained to a kennel near his cottage.
The other day he gave the creature
dead crow, thinking he might like the
amusement of eating it; but Reynard,
after careful consideration, thought the
birds condition rather called for decent
burial, and therefore he dug with his
forepaws large enough hole in front
OF his kennel, and when finished he but
the bird into it, laying it on its back,
with its claws in the air.
The stalker, who was watching the
animal, saw him then scrape the loose
earth over the bird SO as to quite cover
its body; but the legs still stuck up in
the air. These legs seemed to annoy
ism good deal, and he tried to press
ssem down with his nose. Failing in
this, and after evidently turning the
matter over in his mind. he bit the legs
off, laid them fiat beside the bird and
then covered everything over. with
earth.
