Worth Your Attention.

There are great many things which
may be worth attention under certain
circun stances and conditions, which,
under different circumstances, would
not be worth minding at tall. To great
many people Greek and Latin are not
worth attention at all; 4 great many
interesting scientific processes are Of
use to every body in practical applica-
ton, but it would be- waste Of time
Tor everybody to try and find out the
why and wherefore of them. But
everybody travels more or less and any
information about the best and safest
railroad communications is conse-
quently worth the attention of every-
one. Especially is this the case with
regard to "The Burlington, = Chicago,
Burlington & Northern Railroad "a
leading Northwestern line, and, by its
connection with the six thousand miles
of the great Burlington System ., q

with all the big cities Of the West. No

The Southern Recorder, is to be ad
mired for it's charming frankness, and
perhaps COR it's fearless criticism of men
and measures, but it's editor is some
times to hasty. The issue of March End
pronounces the church extension
scheme, offered by j. M. Henderson
A. M, in Christian Recorder, impractic-
able. We do not believe the S. Re-
corder has given the plan careful ex-
animation, for we know enough of the
financial abilities of the protector, to
feel assured that he does not indulge
in dreams, there are few men, young or
old, in the great A. M E. church, who
are better qualified to plan and execute
financial plans than is this same ]. M.
Henderson. There are few preachers
who have had wider and more success
full experience in secular affairs and
business ventures, then he. He is one
of those young men who honor age.
It would not be natural to suppose that
man of his type would svmpathize
very keenly with ignorance, but he is
too considerate to harshly condemn
men old or young, who are honestly
doing their best, he, also, has often
said "The earnest men of God, though
often uneducated, are prominently the
safeguard of society,"" if the church had
few more just such men, it would be
the means of bringing to her ranks,
hundreds Of the talented young ladies
and gentlemen, who stay away from
disgust at presumptious ignorance.
Rev. Henderson has been with us
about seven months, and during that
time the church has gained 8S members
and raised nearly $5,OO0-The Southern
Recorder will please take notice Of our
protest. We offer this correction in a
spirit of kindness-As an orator, s,c-
cording to the Evening Journal of
Minneapolis, Rev. Henderson stands
foremost among the ministers Of all
races in the Northwest, as reviyalist,
financer and pastor, we say to the
Recorder, you would have to undergo
long and tedious journey to find a
match for him. So please qualify
your defence of those devout tellers Of
dreams. We also add, this gentlemen,
though one of the most successful and
talented men in his connection, is also
one of the most polite and least preten-
tious.

On last Saturday, 'sThe Messenger"
made its first appearance on the stage,
al Springfield, ILL.,, and is candidate
for journalistic honors, and emolu-
ments. The Messenger declares that
it shall be Democratic, for the same
reason that papers run by white men
are Democratic. The most of the
Democratic journals, are Democratic
for money, and that's what The Mes
sengeris after. It will be compelled.
as matter Of course, to get all its sup
port from white people, as there are
not enough Colored people in the
United States, who are Democratic
enough to support one newspaper.

Peddlers of the Metropolis.

There are in New York about 1900 per.
sons who have licenses to sell from
wagons and about 5000 who have simple
licenses. On the occasion of any ceremony
or celebration-such as the Grant funeral
or the Bartholdi procession-many new
licenses are taken out. Otherwise the
number of licenses issued varies with the
tide of emigration, being greatest in years
when most emigrants and at this port.
The peddlers generally live in the quarter
affected by their respective races. 1t is
difficult to form an idea of what their
profits are. Some of the fakirs say they
make an average of SO a day the year
round, and others that they make only
one-third as much. From the fact tina
while the So or wagon licenses generally
are renewed, while the 81 ones are in a
majority Of cases allowed to lapse, it is
fair to presume that In the latter case, at
all events, the profits are not tempting

Walter Irving Hardy, n of the par
Elephants in the shooting scrape, was born
In Sumter, S. c., in April, 1860. He took
the law cours ut the Military academy at
Warrenton, Va, from which he was
graduated in 1877, after which he re-
turned to Sumter and was admitted to the
bar by n special act of the legislature, as
he was below the required age for admis-
sion. On graduating from the academy
he received the medals for law, essays and
debate, the first time in the history of the
institution that one person had ever taken
the three medals. In the fall of '7S he
had some trouble with Sam Lee, the
former postmaster of Sumter and Repub-
lican candidate for congressional honors;
he afterward went to the west, but re-
turned in 1884. Since that time he has
practiced lnw in Sumter. Hardy is
reckoned one of the most brilliant young

A recent article by Herr r. SendtneI
in the Intercollegiate Zeitschrift"
tends to prove that the works of art in
the streets n squares of cities are more
liable to decay than those in the country,
and that this ~decaying process is more
rapid nowadays than it was forty or fifty
years ago. The writer attributes it not only
to the changes of temperature in general,
but more especially to the variations of
temperature near the freezing point, the
freezing of the water in the pores of the
work of art fastening the decay, in con-
sequence of the sulphurous and sulphuric
acids, arising from the increased use of
coal. These deleterious ingredients mix
ing with the rain, fog and dew act like
diluted sulphuric acid on the surfaces Of
statues, monuments, ETC., be they of
stone or bronze.
Worse than all these, however, is the
effect of the snow, which absorbs those
acids to q remarkable degree. Fresh
fallen snow in Munich, for instance, con-
tanned seven to eight m~illigrammes of
acid to each kilo of snow; and the same
proportion was noticeable at Forstenried,
about eight kilometers from the city. The
anne quantity of snow, after having re-
manned or the ground a fortnight, showed
in Munich siXty-one m~illigrammes, while
at Forstenried the proportion had not
altered in the least; hence the snow in
the city must needs have a more delete
rious effect than that in the country.
This also is the reason why the public
monuments in Berlin are always covered

representatives in Spain. No for
eign minister to the United States is
housed so gorgeously ms the Chi
nese, with the exception Of Minister West,
of England, and, in fact, there are few
finer houses in Washington than the
Stewart castle, which Chang Yen Hoon
occupies. The Stewart castle has a
history of its own hidden behind its
brown stone walls, and its interior is
fitted up in the most gorgeous manner.
There are stained glass windows galore to
shed mellow light over the richly uphol-
stored furniture, the few articles of art
from far Cathay, the well selected paint
ings of the western world and the silver
and crystal of the table services. Great
smooth mirrors reflect in duplicate, tripli-
cate md q~uadruplicatc whoever enters the
reception and drawing rooms. One would
hardly hazard the supposition on entering
the house that 1t was occupied by Chinese
unless the dwellers therein were present,
for there are very few articles of Chinese
maket to be seen, in fact, not so many as
in most houses occupied by people of
means and aesthetic tastes. But tho min
lister and all the attaches OF the legation
dress in Celestial fashion.
Before Chang Yen Hoon was made
minister to America he held many i'm
portant offices in China. Among other
high posts were the governorship of the
province OF Che-Foo and that of Woo-Roo,
inspector of the salt revenue, grand judge
of the Gu Whang province and attache
OF the foreign Office at Pekin. He is so
years old and his home is at Canton, a
city larger than New York, for it has
1.900, 900 inhabitants. His forefathers
We're merchants and they bequeathed him
great wealth. His Canton palace is n
most magnificent building, and his library
there ontains from go, 0 to 10000 vol
umes. OF course he is n man of literary
ability and training, for in China the
road to political preferment lies only
through the most severe literary training.
OF course such a legation as this has
many attaches Of high rank, but we have
only space for mention of two of
these officials. One is the interpreter,
Liang Shung, and there is Vow Jiar Shee,
or DIR. Vow, rs he is known in Washing
ton. The interpreter always accompanies
the minister on visits Of diplomacy. But
that fuuctIonnry himself is now studying
English and is making good progress.
DIR. Vow is very popular among those who
know him.
