In the collections recently taken to
Denmark from the east coast of Green
land by Capt. Holm are several objects
that have excited the astonishmont of
European geographers. They are maps
made by the natives. The maps are en-

ments on boards hat drifted ashore.
They were found among the natives who

Elements in south Greenland, owing to a
stretch of glaciers and ice fields which
have so nearly isolated them from the
world that their existence was not known
until recently. They had never seen a
white man until Holm and DIR. Knutzen
came among them.
Some of these curious maps, Capt.
Holm says, represent quite accurately
the contour of the coast, with all its
many big and little indentations, along
which they live. Other maps give the
outlines Of islands lying near the coast.

w~orkingmen to meet this question squareiy
aud give answer as the truth shall de-
mand. for on it exists the paramount i'm
portance Of what it will be impentively
their best interest TO accomplish.
Any candid workman at all qualified to

the great body of those who earn subsist-
ence by manual labor are uneducated. and
large numbers Of them grossly ignorant
Of e~en the rudiments of useful knowl-
edge; and assuredly the patriotism that
lacks enlightened intelligence can have
little Of value to recommend 1t. Char.
aeter must stand equally apart from ig-
norance. Ii is born of such elevation of
moral sentiment and clear insight into
that which is right as can alone come
from an educated understanding. Not
that the poorest laborer may not have
sincere love for his country, but it is not
the carefully weighed principle that can
be depended on to stand by the country
10 its hour of neel. Ignorant men are
ever at the mercy Of scheming dema-
gogues, aud when their passions are ex-
cited to acts of VIOLENCE, character and
patriotic feeling are alike cast to the
winds and mere brute instinct carries the
day -
1t is important, therefore, that the
young men of education should prepare
themselves to meet these dangerous times
ahead: and is il not vastly more neces-
sary hat the w~orkingmen. especially
the young men in the ranks of labor,
should set themselves to acquire cduca-

very nature of things, it ought to rule.
As Carlyle well said 1T is the everlast-
ing privilege OF the foolish to be governed
by the wise
No nation was ever yet successfully and
prosperously ruled except by the combined
wisdom OF its best educated intelligence.
Nor has any nation ever fallen into the
control Of mob rule without paving the
way to despotism. Indeed, SO inevitable
is this, that the sincerest friends Of the
labor cause to day, in view of the unwise
procedure in strikes and violence, and the
lack CT intelligence displayed in many of
the movements Of the labor organizations,
must look with grave Apprehension at the
possible asccndency of such an uneducated
element in control OF the government.
Such control would be alike disastrous to
the welfare of society as to workingmen
themselves. Workingmen, therefore,
have need to prepare themselves by edu-
cation to carry intelligent conviction to the

IT Is not the pleasantest feature Of our
extremely free and democratic republic
that 50 many Of the newspapers make so
free with the presidents asserted inten.
ton of getting married, and even with the
young lady herself who is said to be the
expeclant bride. Some of the newspapers
even parade pictures from the pot metal
engraving bureau, as portraits of Miss
Folsom, aud publish a variety Of alleged
incidents in the brides early life, which.
however yaluelcss in themselves, eau
hardly be called proper subjects for parad-
iug 10 the press. The president has
sought to keep the matter of his marriage
strictly private. but some Of the enterpris-
ing newspapers won't lct him. Good
taste would dictate a different course, but
what sensational journal ever showed any
perception Of such a thing as good taste?

rus GREATEST NEED on ALL,


The New York Tribune Of a recent date
says: The young men Of education, pa
triotism and character need to prepare
themselves by an active, earnest interest
in politics for the stirring times whose
iorecas,cd shadow already rests upon the
earth
If thoughtful workingmen will carefully
weigh the real meaning Of this pertinent
paragraph. they will sec that the warning
offered to young men Of education and
cha.. Icicr is against the forecastine shadow
of danger to the country from working
men themselves. The stirring times
alluded to is the probable outcome Of the
recent disturbances in the labor field the
wide spread series of strikes aud their at
tendant violence against person and pro
perry. aud consequent depression Of trade
and commeres. 1t is q warning that a

Steps are being taken to pass laws in
every state OF the Union to make it a
criminal offense to kill birds for any pur-
pose, except strictly game birds used for
o and such birds as arc needed for
scientific purposes"
~How can you make a crime out of a
matter of sentiment
This is something more than a matter
Of sentiment, something much more.
The loss Of the birds which are almost
tnsectivorous has already caused a quite
appreciable los on the farmers crops,
and we are destined to see a plague of
insect life so great as to entail important
commercial consequences to the country
at large. Nothing but birds can regulate
the increase of insects and keep it within
bounds, and to destroy the birds as we
have done is n crime of the highest order
against society, and will cause loss and
waste incalculable.r
as this g%uesswork or verifable hypo-
thesis!-
Fact, siri France once, in a paroxysm
Of folly, allowed the destruction of a
proportion of hers. The result in disaster
to fields and crops and in positive famine
and distress was so apparently the result
of this folly that now France and
Germany protect the birds with jealous
care. For every wing on a woman's hat
to-day some one will suffer loss, some
one will go hungry and lose some joy
out of life. II it would be a crime to
destroy the grass of the fields and hills,
because grass is necessary for the support
of life, so it is a crime to destroy that
which nature has provided as the sole
protector Of that and its kindred grain,
the birds. Nothing can make it less than
a crime; n crime against the order of the
world, against human society and well
fare.-Chicago Tribune Interview.

-backer' In police vernacuiar-tnat Is, he
advances money TO burglars n thieves
who need to do n job that requires fine
tools or one in which n bank clerk is to be
bribed. He backs gambling games and
lottery Offices, and all that sort of thing rs
well. Ostensibly he is a retired capitalist.
He says he made his money in sugar in
Louisiana before the war.
He has for n family a beautiful, lady-like
woman, whom he calls his wife, and two
lovely little girls, to whom he speaks only
German in the morning, only French In
the afternoon. and only English between
6-o'clock dinner and bedtime. They are
good little children and say their prayers
at his knees whenever he Il at home to
hear them. Now this old man Is

of Justice. He deals with the prin-
cipal thieves, burglars, forgers,
terfelters, and knhves Of all kinds
constantly. Suppose one OF them does not
deal fairly with him-cheats him, quarrels
with him, blabs about him, takes to

does anything that makes the old gentle
AM angry or uneasy. Well, what them

that the morgue was free to all curiosity
mongers, and that the school children
were in the habit Of trooping into that
horrible place to gaze upon the CHASTITY
objects exposed to general view for identi-
f%ication. The effects OF such sights upon
adults Is bad, but upon children II Is ex-
~ceptionnlly pernicious. 1t demoralizes
mankind to familiarize them with the
things that are %inseparably associated
with DEATH All things connected with
death are repugnant othe healthy mind.
Disease is one OF these, and vice, which is
but a type Of disease and death, is an
other.
The danger which arises from n famil.
iarity with these morbid conditions of ex.
istence lies in the fact that the same
taste which familiarizes itself without suf-
lcient reason with signs OF physical death
-and sufferings in disease, could readily be
made familiar with vice and wick edness.
After maturity we have n degree OF elias
ticity and power OF self-assertion which
enables us to Withstand disease OF the in
sidious effect upon the mind of things we
see. Adults, In a measure, however, are
affected by everything they see and hear,
but with children everything they see and
hear goes to form character.-Jesuit
