CHESTER A. ARTHUR.

The TELEGRAPH was printed last
week before the news of ex-President
Arthur's death was received. It pro-
duced surprise everywhere, because
his dangerous illness had not been re-
ported. The announcement of his
death was less a sensation than in the
case of many other prominent men in
this country, for the reason that since
the termination of his office his name
has seldom been before the public. It
is possible and even probable that Mr..
Arthur deserves higher praise than
will be awarded him. It was never
his habit to court display or notoriety
he was rather of the retiring kind.
He was nominated by the Republican
convention in 1880 for Vice President
at the same time with Garfield for
President. On the death of the latter
he was unexpectedly invested with the
highest office in the gift of the Ameri-
can people. Whatever fears may have
been entertained as to his competency
to fill the responsible position, he was
found to be fully adequate to the duties
of the Office. He was not President
alone of the Republican party, but of
the whole people. He was sudden
ly stricken down by death on the 10th
of November, inst, at the age of fifty
six years. Ex-President Arthur,
while he occupied the White House at
Washington, was the representative of
a healthy-appearing man, as all who
saw him during his Presidential term
well know. He was above the medium
height, well proportional, always neat
ly dressed, and passed for fine-look-
ing man. His habits of life were not
known to be Objectionable, unless it
was too great fondness for state din
ners, which is one of the fashionable
indulgences OF men in high position in
the national capital.

FAMILY DIARY.

The Springfield, Mass, Homestead
makes suggestions ON the subject of a
family diary, which are worthy of con.
sideration. It has advantages in sever
al respects which readily appear. The
plan is this: Appoint one of the fam
lily as journalist; if there are several
children of suitable age, let each take
the duty in turn for month or less at
a time; if the children are too; young,
let the father or mother take the mat
ter in hand. The family diary should
briefly chronicle important incidents
each day, n)tice changes at home, fam
lily sickness, deaths in the neighbour
hood, the arrival of friends and the
purchases of family supplies, including
wearing apparel. It should briefly tell
what has been accomplished each day.
Details of no present Importance will
be read with interest in after years
perhaps generations hence. A resident
in this vicinity has fragmentary por-
ton of a family diary kept over seven
ty years ago by an ancestor, which
records events and incidents that
perhaps were not thought particularly
interesting at the time, but at this dis
lance furnish curious reading. How
many persons there are who would pay
liberal price to possess the family
life of their ancestors, and what were
some of the chief events in their early
history, or what were some of the char
acteristics in their own boyhood or
girlhood days, now forgotten.
But the chief advantage of keeping
a family diary, where the children
take charge of it, is daily exercise
which improves their education, in
some respects, more than attending
school. 1t learns them not only to
write, but to frame their ideas, improve
their descriptive powers, and fit them
to state facts intelligently. These
necessary qualifications are not always
gained in the public schools; but many
scholars leave the schools after gradu.
alton, incapable of writing an article
in well-arranged sentences and in good
English. A literally educated teacher,
not many miles away, was in the prac-
tice of employing friend to write
what he designed for publication. He
was in most respects a scholarly man,
but evidently had not given attention
in early life to the right choice of
words and putting them into sentences
in good taste.

CRISIS OF THE CHICAGO AN
ARCHTSTS.

An amnesty association has been
formed in Chicago TO secure the deliv-
erance of the condemned anarchists
from the penalty of the law. Threats
are made if the sentence of the anarch-
lists is not committed disastrous conse-
quences will ensue. Surprise is mani
tested among order-loving citizens that
so many men holding official positions
should be found willing to shield the
condemned criminals from the punish
ment of the crime of which they are
found guilty.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

A friend of Sunday schools sends us
a selected article relating to schools of
this description, requesting it's publica-
ton. The request is cheerfully COM
piled with. Sunday schools are now
common in every Christian land, and
encouraged by all denominations, Pro-
testant and Catholic. 1t is estimated
there are from seven to eight hundred
children attending the various Sunday
schools in Kenosha county. If these
schools are wisely conducted, it is reas-
enable to conclude they will prove an
immense power for good in coming
years. What is said by the writer in
respect to treating Sunday scholars as
social beings is particularly commend
ed to notice.
THE SOCIAL PHASE OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL WORK.
"Sunday schools prosper most in
those communities where attention is
paid to the social element in our ma
lures by those engaged in Sunday school
work. Misapprehension of sacred
teachings is a fruitful source of failure
in attempting to advance Christian
work. We are taught that we are to
live as pilgrims and strangers in this
wilderness world; and too often re-
ligion is presented in such way that
it appears like desert spot in will
derness of mental and social depression
Scarcely could greater mistake be
made than to represent the Christian
as unsocial morality. Such represen-
tation is most dlstasteful to youth.
Our Sunday schools are pre-eminently
for the children, and the children are
pre-eminently social; hence the social
element in their natures should be ap-
pealed to in such a way as to interest
them in the work of the Sunday school
room. The dry routine of following a
dry programme is exceedingly distaste-
full to bright, active children and youth.
Being pilgrims and strangers is not to
be presented as excluding ourselves
from the world, morally and socially,
but rather as using our powers in the
best possible way to make the journey
of life and reach our future destiny ia
the highest possible degree of perfec-
ton.
Without stopping to discuss this
question, it may be stated that children
should be taken as we find them. and

and evening in the Congregational
church in this city last Sunday. The
morning discourse was from The plain
tive words of the Psalmist, " We all do
fade as a leaf" This is not a new
theme for the pulpit, but was invested
by the preacher with freshness and
rare figures of beauty and impressive
ness.
Rev. Mr.. Stein preached forcible
and highly practical sermon in the
Methodist church on Sunday morning,
on the subject, "The relation of Chris
tians to the world"
Rev. w. L. Bray, of this city, sup

cine on Sunday last.

~ the powers they have. We find
them loving society, loving the curious,
loving history and nature. The social,
mysterious, historical and natural ele-
ments in the Christian religion, or in
Sunday school work, are of especial in
terest to youth, ard only that teacher
fails to interest his class who fails to
notice and cultivate these tendencies
in the minds of his pupils.
"The civilizations and social customs
OF contemporary nations should be
made known to pupils studying the
Bible, in order that their social SYM
pathies may be enlisted in their work."

THE INTER OCEAN
OF * CHICAGO x
In Circulation and Political influence is the
Leading Republican Newspaper
IN THE NORTHWEST.

THE INTER OCEAN has from the beginning been
the defender of home institutions and American
ideas 1t is the advocate of equal rights for all be-
fore the law, of protection to American labor and
of the idea that America is for Am ericansnot nee
essary Americans by BIRTH but true citizens of the
Republic. 1t believes in the West and Western
men, holds to the idea that the future seat of en-
pire will be in the Mississippi Valley, and is bold
and aggressive in it's opposition to the unholy al-
ance between the money changers of New York
City and the States lately in rebellion.
THE INTER OCEAN is earnestly in favor of the
Republican party because it believes the principles
of that party correct, and that honestly car
ried out they will best protect the rights and adj
the interests of the whole people. 1t is not
however, a blind follower, but is always ready to
denounce Republican wrong-doing, either in high
or low places
THE INTER OCEAN has always maintained that
the Nation is under an obligation to the soldiers OF
the late war; who jeopardized their lives to protect
it from armed treason, which it can never repay,
and, consequently, has advocated the establish
ment of Soldiers Homes and the enactment of
such pension laws would leave no disabled vet
eran in want.
AS q Newspaper THE INTER OCEAN is not ex-
celled in the United States. Aside from the service
of the Associated Press, in which it holds a men,
bership, it keeps large body of Special Core

that afternoon and found him weak. He said he
