Justice to the Country Editor.

It is regarded as something quite
smart for metropolitan newspaper scrib-
blers TO sneer at country editors. Horace
Greeley's old remark is trotted out
whenever city editor wishes to crush
his rural brother. II is true that some
fools and some knaves edit country
journals. but as rule these ''proyin-
cial'' editors are Woodworking. shrewd.
fair-minded, and influential men. They
come nearer representing public senti-
ment than their city brethren, because
they are closer To- the people. The
metropolitan press owes its distinction
chiefly TO men who have been raised in
country newspaper offices. In fact, few
men are properly equipped to even at
tempt to represent sentiment in this re-
public who have not lived in the coun-
try. So much for those who sneer et
the rural rooster.''-N eso York World

Lyman Abbott, D. D., accepted the
permanent passionate of Plymouth
Church to-day. at the close of the

took the temporary passionate he had no
idea that he would be called to remain

action of the church Friday night had
determined him to accept position
which he, as we'll as all others, knew
he was not completely fitted for. So
far from being surprised that there

Darky Stories.

The darby stories in the Drawer for
January remind the writer OF the fol-
lowing incident:
A few wears after the war he had oc-
casion to visit Richmond with his fam
lily, and living at the time in the coun-
ty of Patrick, fifty miles from any
railroad station, very few of the dar-
kies in that county had ever seen a
railroad train. A nurse was a neces-
sary part of the family equipage, and
he had secured the services of coal
black specimen, about fifteen years OF
age, who was as quick-witted as usual
but was as veritable a Topsy as ever
''growed." The party took the train
at the nearest station and after few
hours run a broken rail threw the train
off the track. Some of the cars made
a revolution down an embankment,
and some were lodged on its incline
at an angle of forty-tive degrees. Great
CONSERVATION, of course, ensued; the
men were shouting, and the women
and children screaming. After great
difficulty our party scrambled out OF
the coach on the steep incline OF the
embankment. Finding no bones brok-
en- with wife or little one, the writer,
who was surprised 1T the placid, undis-
turbed appearance of the nurse, who,
holding the baby in her arms. looked
upon the scene as if nothing had hap
pened, said:
..Milly, were you much frightened?''
'.No, sah,'' she said; II thought Il
had to stop that scdy."
Joe, the colored waiting-man, came
in early one morning to make fire
for Elisha Carr, sort of evangelist,
who was stopping with Joe's master:
1t was cold, and the ground covered
| with snow.

asked Mr.. Carr.

''Weil, you'd better want to get it
You'd better want to get TO heaven

The idea struck Joe with force, ant
he studied over it for a while; then
looking up with a puzzled expression
he asked, Tell me, Mr.. Carr, is de!

Irish Catholics Protest.

CHICAGO, May 28.-To-day at meet
ing of nearly 200 delegates of the Irish
Catholic societies of Chicago, gathered
to make arrangements for the annual
reunion and outing of the societies, a
motion of Importance was offered re-
lating to the mass meeting of Irish
Catholics to be held at Battery d ar
mory on Thursday night next. The
mass meeting will have for its object
the consideration of the famous papal
rescript condemning the use in Ireland
of the plan of campaign and boycott
ting. The motion, in effect, was that
it be the sense of all Irish Catholics
that they could manage their own
political affairs, and that all the
Societies in the city should attend the
mass-meeting to lend their voice to this
belief. The motion was carried with
out dissenting vote. UNLESS all do
what they can in this direction and
assert themselves sQuarely on this pro-
position, the meeting will have cal
amitous effect on the cause in Ireland, -
said John M. Smith, prominent mer-
chant, who presided at the meeting.
I'VE are to come together TO announce
our political independence, and if the
gathering is not a representative one,
the claim will be set up that the Irish
Catholics in Chicago are not free in
spirit, and in their home trouble are
not controlled by foreigners"

Dumb ague and ague cake, no less
than the actively febrile forms of ma
larial desease, are promptly relieved
and ultimately uprooted by it. In
the tropics, where febrile complaints
of this sort are more virulent than in
the temperate zone, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has established a reputa-
ton for preventive and remedial eff

able to effect prejudicially nay, has
even served to strengthen. Disorders
of the stomach and bowels, particularly
those to which malaria gives rise, are
speedily relieved by it. Kidney COM
plants, rheumatism, nervousness,
and sleeplessness, sick headache, and
constipation yield to it. Appetite
and sleep are both improved by it.

young men on their way to work
here this morning discovered the
body of Henry Whitehouse, aged TWEEN
ty-two, an employe of the Electric Light
works, lying on Mobiles Island, on the
shore near the blacksmith shop. The
body was terribly dis6gured. The throat
was cut from ear to ear and the head
contained ten or twelve wounds in
fIcted with a blunt instrument. A
machinist's hammer was found near
the body. Whitehouse had been pay

from the track was discernable. Su-
perintendent Palmer of the Electric
Light company, when shown the ham
mer, exclaimed: ''My Godl that settles
