The rclstioiss Of labor aud capital and OF labor

THE CIVIL snhvtcE.

vincing proofs of its necessity and usefulness.

staunchest friends are found among those who
understand it best. sne its warnest supporters
are those who are restrained and protected by
its requirements The meaning OF such restraint
and projection is not appreciated by those who
want places under the government regardless Of
merit and efficiency, nor by those who insist
that the selection for such places should rest
upon proper credentiai showing active partisan

How 4 Bore was Prayed For.

How Beecher's Chicago brother went
of in huif and how a barber prayed
for him is told by the Chicago Herald:
Henry Ward Beecher's venerable
brother attends the prayer meetings
held every Wednesday evening in one
OF the principal West Side churches.
He sits away down in front, and, as a
rule, has a good deal to say. His gar
rulousness has often had the effect OF
making the congregation little bit
drowsy, but being an old man and the
brother of the distinguished Brooklyn
divine, no organized effort has been
made to choke him of At the meet
ing held recently Mr.. Beecher made
two addresses and had arisen to de-
liver third when the preacher gently
requested him to be as brief as posi-
bic. This was too much for the old
man. He grew red in the face, glared
savagely at the occupants ofthe pews
and finally clinched things by march
ing out of the church IN a huff.
Tony Delight, the reformed hair
dresser, now arose and asked that a
prayer be offered up for Mr.. Beeeher.
No one in the audiance evincing de-
sire to lead in the snpplication, the
pastor asked Mr.. Delight TO reform
the work With charming. modu-
lated voice the good barber began, and
ended in about this style:
"0h, God, thou knowest that our
good brother, Mr.. Beecher, has left us
sore in heart. Oh, God. thou know
est that he is long-winded and tire
some; teach him, oh God, to be brief
er in his remarks, and to thee sh all be
glory, amen

AGRicULTuRE.


The department of agriculture, representing
the oldest and largest of our national industries,

farming enterprise and by opening new sources
of agricultural wealth and the disseminance of

prices. 1t has contributed largely to the coun.
try's prospects, though this agency, advanced
through Investigation touching the subjects 1t

practically applied to the home production at a
low cost of articles of food which are now i'm
ported from abroad. Such an innovation will
necessarily. of course, in the beginning,
be within the domain of intelligent
experiments. and the subject in every stage
should receive all possible announcement from
the government The interests of millions of
our citizens engaged in agriculture are involved
IN an enlargement and improvement OF the re-
suits OF theIr labor; and jealous regard for
their welfare should be willing tribute to those
whose productive returns are main source of
our progress and power. The existence of pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle of various states

and is doing for the world. The sun
that rises on that day in our Northern

it for assauging enmities, and re-
yiving tender memories, and drawing

the gulf between classes. During this
