of the Roman Empire" no one thing strikes us
more forcibly than the craze among all classes OF
the people, both high and low, from the emperor
to the pauper, for the gladiator shows, where man
was pitted against man, or man against beast, IN
mortal strife Who, in the innocence OF youth,
before the contact of the world had rubbed away
the finer feelings and sensibiities OF life, has not
felt horror and disgust at such brutal exhibition
of the utter depravty of mankind as was there
exhibited And yet in this great century, justly
celebrated for its scientific achievements it moral
and religious advancement, its educational posi-
bilities, and it's apparent refinement, we find the
same feelings and passions actuating all classes.
Not long ago the associated press scattered
through the whole civilized world the intelligence
that Boston, city which claims to represent the
refinement and scientific attainments OF our coun-
try, had sent off John Sullivan, the pugilist or
gladiator" whichever you may choose to call
him, with the greatest honors. And when he
landed upon English shores the same homage
awaited him all classes, from royalty to the
roust-about, fastened to do him honor. What
commentary on the civilization of the age! What
repetition of history, with hundreds OF years in
tervening And, above all, what lesson for the
young minds now maturing; minds that, in the
natural course of events, are to shape the destiny
Of the next century, But underlying all this is
one great source of consolation, which is that the
woman of this age has not made copy of her
Roman sister, and does not enthuse or try to
make heroes of such material as our boosted Sulli
van. It is to be hoped she will use her influence
upon the young minds she is now molding and
bending so as to eradicate such ideas and stop
this great disgrace.

We are in receipt Of number of newspapers in

airy notices of WoMAN's CHRONICLE. Our space
utterly precludes the publication Of these articles,
which we value none the less on that account.
Moreover, away down in the heart of the average
man there is an idea that compliments are the staff
of life to woman, and we like to sometimes make
comparison between the two sexes, particularly
as in this case we show ourselves less susceptible
of fattery than the other sex. We will cherish
these words of cheer in our hearts but not blazon
them to the world.

TINS NATIVE LAND.

remember in my early childhood, when at
school, there was little boy among the pupils
whose name was Tim, and for whom all the girls
entertained quite liking; his eyes were so blue,
his voice so CHEEKY, and his tongue so ready of
wit. Few indeed were the boys willing to under
take war of either words or blows with Tim, and
fewer still were those who would not have called
upon this sturdy little fellow to help them out of
boyish scrape. True, Tins fists were ever ready
to respond at the slightest CALL but his heart was
equally responsive, and he never failed to lend
them both to his little comrades in distress. One
day when the class in geography was reciting, the
teacher called upon Tim to point out upon the
map the land Of his birth. Tim did so with a
birch pole, which stood in the corner and served
a triple purpose; raped against the window, it
answered the place of bell to call the school to-
gether in winter used as poker; and-well it
was sometimes, on occasions, used as an instru-
ment with which to point moral, but this was
rare. "That little spot upon the map" ex-
planned the teacher, with the wavy light blue
lines, representing the water all round it, is Ire
land" And looking at the spot, so small indeed
that saucer would have completely covered it,
then glancing at Tins brogans-and remember
ing, too, how that Tim had father and mother
and ever so many little sisters and brothers, be-
sides his Aunt Bridget, a very large person, who
had turned up nose and red hair-I wondered
how thav could all have uad IN 60 small q enooa
without getting their feet wet Tim continued to

What expression could more fully denote the
noblest sentiment of womanhood. When Napoleon
was asked for his idea of nobility in woman, he
said, 1.-The one who has the most sons" 1t was
fine sentiment; but he was in need of men for
his army so his motive detracts in a measure.
That is comprehensive truth, the hand that

to be only indifferent children of the earth, and
her daughters to be inefficient mothers, in turn to
do their work imperfectly, rocks and rules with

unanswerable question, and that we know less
about bringing up our little ones to-day than

how to bring them up in the fear of the Lord ex-

that the Creator should have endowed with this
peculiar wisdom only those who are called to some
other vocation.

PERHAPS the most important woman's conven-
ton ever held since the agitation Of the female
suffrage movement is that which begins March 25th
at Washington, D. c., and which is intended as
jubilee in celebration of the fortieth anniversary
of the first step taken toward the establishment of
woman suffrage in our country. If the program
announced is carried out, it will doubtless be one
of the most peculiar and interesting meetings of
women the world has yet known; indeed, moth
ing less than general overhauling Of social,
moral, domestic and political institutions, with
view to many needed reforms and the extension of
woman's influence. Literary and art clubs, tenn
perance unions, labor leagues, moral purity societies,
missionary, charitable, educational and industrial
associations are invited to attend In Short all sorts
of combinations in which women work or have
general interest are invited to be represented by
delegates. Many Of the most talented women Of
the world are to be there the earnest untirng
workers in the cause of woman and humanity.
As to whether they are working in the right drec-
ton is question argued far and wide. There are
legions of believers, while there probably are as
many who doubt. However people may differ in
opinion, surely none deny that the earnestness
and fidelity shown by these women to the cause
which they espouse is worthy the admiration of
the whole world, and no doubt the proceedings Of
this convention will be watched with the greatest
interest by majority Of people throughout the
country.

The Commissioners say that in their opin-

polygamy should be abandoned. We are
thoroughly satisfied" say the Commission
ers. that the work of reformation in Utah
is progressing rapidly. and it will soon re-

legislation that is proscriptive of religious

The commissioners are averse TO any fur
ther restrictive legislation by Congress-. be-
leving that the present laws are sufficiently
stringent and will accomplish all that can be
reasonably required by legal coercion.
The report recommends the adoption of
an amendment 10 the Federal Constitution
prohibiting the institution or practice OF
polygamy in any form in the States or Ter
ritories or other places over which the
United States has exclusive jurisdiction.
The commissioners, in conclusion. say;

"One of the quickest marriages ever

Wabash, "was performed by Rev. DR.
Aaron Turner, now in the Minnesotl

"Dr. Turner was in charge of the
Vincennes circuit at the time. One
evening he was hurrying his toilet in
preparation for marriage that he was
to perform at o'clock at the home OF
one of his flock. He was late and very
much afraid that he couldn't reach the
place of appointment in time. Just as
he got his white tie adjusted and was
settling himself into his coat knock
was heard on the parsonage door. Dr.
Turner took up his hat, stepped to the
door and opened il. A young man
stood outside. DIR. Turner asked his

An Oddly Named Family.

Names are sometimes oddly thrown
on the heads of unoffending babes at
the birth or christening, and they hang
TO them all their lives, The Kumler
family are remarkable for their names
as well as their good luck. One child
was called Theodore, King of Abys-
sinia;" another Jeremiah, Prophet
Elisha;" a third, "Martha's Vineyard :"
while fourth went through the world
as "Terra Del Fuego," or Del" for
short. There was also a "Sir Walter
Scott Kumler," and "Festus, King
Agrippa," shortened as "Fes." When
they signed their names they generally
wrote the initials. Two of the family
were prominent men of Toledo. One,
j. p. f., generally had fat charge,
and was for years pastor of the Seventh
Street Church; another is Judge, and
another is the handsomest man in
Northern Ohio.
