The Lords want No Reform.

LONDON, April 26.-There was long
discussion in tie House of Lords, this
evening, on Earl Dunraven's bill to re-
form that body. The main features of
the bill are that the peers Of creation
shall be entitled to a seat in the Lords
by election; that they may resign their
seats to become eligible to the Com
mons. Provision is also made for the
admission of colonial, Catholic, dis
senting ana scientific representatives.
Lord Salisbury object ted to the bill, as
an abandonment of the firm rock of
experience for a plunge into the an
known. Government were willing to
consider the admission of life peers and
otner needful reforms, for which they
would introduce seperate bill. Lord
Dunraven thereupon Withdrew his bill.

Some Suggestions ,
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

If you will publish suggestion
which L respectfully submit in the in
terest of the spiritual well-being of one
class of your citizens and the temporal
welfare of another class, l think it
would tend to the editioation of a third
party.
That the wages of horse-car drivers
on the streets of the city be increased to
an amount satisfactory to them.
That drivers refuse to accept cash
from employers to be given in change
to passengers unless such cash is in
sealed envelopes with the amount in
each package specified thereon.
These suggestions are offered in goad
faith, and if either of the classes affected
by them desire the reason you can give
my address. Yours, etc,

A Clergyman who Believed in Brevity

.
 In 176s the B Blptist church of Hale- town, now Weare, N. H., "voted desire (which was unanimouO that Pclatiah Tinglcy settle among us in the work of the gospel ministry" H, was gradu- ate of Yale college, had studied theol- ogy two years, and was notei for short prayers and short sermons. The brevity of some of his sermons-they were not moro than eight minutes in length made him notable preacher in an age when micistcrs discoursed for an hour, and even longer Oac', being called upon to lead in prayer at a public meet iag, ho fell on his knocs and said: 70 Lord, teach us to feel the need of Thy grace and to seek it; to know Thy will and to do it, to find our place and to keep it. Amen" The historian of Weare tclls this anccdote of tho laconic minister's wit: A young minister being in company where several clergymen were present so engrossed the conversa- tion that all feared that his volu bility was limitless. At last, turning to Father Tingley, ho said, with an alr of familiarity: "Sir we read of Judas part of tho ministry; and what part do you think it was2" II think it was the talkative part, sir" answered tho old man; and the young mans loquacity departed for season.

Locomotive Engineers.

The engineer whose humanity is not hardened has his feelings narrowed oc- casionally by pedestrians who risk their lives on the track. Tramps and other careless persons are so numerous that tho casual passenger in a locomotive cab generally cannot ride fifty miles without seeing what seems to him a hair breadth escape, but whichis ever- theless treated by the engineer as a commonplace occurrence. These heed- less wayfarers do, however, occasional ly carry their indifference to danger too far, and they are tossed in the air like feathers. Doubtless there arc thoso who, like the fireman who talked with the tendcr-h hearted young lady, regret the killing of a man chiefly "bccause it musses up the engine so:'' but, taking the fraternity as whole, warmth of heart and tenderness of feeling may be called not only wol.- developed but prom inent traits of character. The great strike on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road last spring, which proved to have been i'll advised, would have been possible only in body of mon act . uated by the most loyal friendship. Undoubtedly large conservative ele- ment in the Brotherhood of Engineers belived tho move in judicious, but they joined in it out of an intense spirit of fidelity to their brethren a2d leaders. - [Scribner.

A Warning to Parents.

A writer in a late mum Der of Harper 8 B4zar gives this piece of warning, and many parents would do we'll to lay it Q heart: ''Oae of Browning's most beau tiful and pathetic poems, and one intel liyent to whomsoever runs, commemo- rates tho act of an 4afl.of Arundel, who, having struck his ssittle child on the head, had the picture of himself and tho child painted, the child, as he be. G mo in after years, imbccile from tho effects of that blow. It would be well, we think, for every parent, and for all those having children on their hands, 10 commit these verses 10 memory, and toput the lesson in practice, for tho in- jury dono to children by thu quick and carele ss box on tho ear that is thought nothing of at the time is something in- calculable. It is impossible to hit a tender child blow upon SO delicate an organ as the ear, and one having such c'oso connection with the brain, with out doing an evil and unseen work, even when tho blow is given with the flat of the open hand. The action, it has been fully asccrtained, has produced violent inflammation in the ear, and running di charges for years; blood has been known to follow it immediately; and when this has not happened, partial and even total deafness has been the conse- quences in many instances"

Relics of Robinson Crusoe.

Great care, says w. E. Curtis, in his recent book on Spanish American capi- tals, has been taken to preserve the rel ics of Alexander Selkirk's stay upon the island, and his cave and huts remain
 just as he left them. In 1868 tho of- 6cers of the British man. of-war Topaz erected mar ble tablet to mark tho fa nous outlook from which MT. Crusoe,
 like tho ancient mariner, used to watch for sail. The inscription reads: 'In memory of Alexander Selkirk, mariner,
 native of Largo, County of Fife, Scot land, who lived upon this island i, com plcte solitude for four years and four months. He was landed from the Clin- que ports. galley, 96 tons, 46 guns, A.

Raw Silk.

Raw (recledD sllk-that is to say, silk as reelcd from the cocoon and imported for the use of our silk mills-is really a manufactured article, and moreover an article, tho value of which depends very largely upon tho excellence of the man ufacturing process through which it has gone.

A Queer Chinese Belief.

In various parts of China there IS a belief that tho souls of very atrocious criminals who have either becn exc cuted or died in prison arc sent b2ck from Hades by Yenlo, the judge there, to undergo further term of imprison ment, ono death not being enough to expiato their crimes. When the second term of imprisonment IS jud 5ed to havo expired, the district magistrate be- seeches the tutclary deity of the city to accompany him to the prison in order to acquaint the ghost with his release. The order is supposed to reach the inn prisoned by burning it, ceremony which is solcmuly carried out Tn the jail. On August 19 last the district magistrate of the city of Soochow had placards posted up inviting subscrip- tions of imitation money for tke ghosts then in the city jail. Thi, was all duly burned, and thus converted into
 currency, which would be useful to the ghosts on tho long journey before them.

Travelling on His Trunk,

Gold watches that never keep timo have long been favorite means of sc- curing transportation; but tho American trunk is now coming into fashion as a medium of railroad communication. The paddock critic of the Indianapolis Qud.) Journal says:
 "Do you know that if man has a heavy truak he can sometimes travel a long distance on railroad without a ticket or any money?' said young man yesterday, who had recently made his way back to Texas with but few dollars. "When reached St. Louis I had but five cents in my pocket, and did not know a man thcro could ask for loan. I went to tho ticket agent and making known my condition, asked him how I could get to Indian apolis. IIavo you trunka' he asked. told him had, and he said he would introduce mo to tho conductor. When the conductor came up I WIS intro- duced, and he asked m, for my check to my trunk, which gave him, and he then gav, mo smaller ticket, which he saii would get my truak In Indian apolia. I asked him how much tho trunk would cost mo when went tc get It out, and he said $7. We'll, got through all right, but when I presented tho ticket for the trunk it cost mo $9 instead of $7. havo bcca wondcring g ever since who got the money; but didn't care, for l was glad to get back to Indianapolis, even on those tcrms.'

Brazilian MiStletOe.

A traveller ia Brazil writes to hor- ticultural paper telling of tho crop of mistlctoe that ho found growing on tel egraph wires near Rio Janoiro. When he first saw it he thought that floods had left weeds hanging to tho wires but nearer inspection and tho height of the wires convinced him that the ap. parent weeds were thousands of littlo mistletoes firmly fixed to tho wires. Many species of this plant grow in Brazil, and some, called "bird woeds," bear berries which arc eaton by birds. Tho seeds are deposited on tho tolo- graph wires and take root.

Black Bread.

It is said, remarks the Chicago News, that tho consumptivo of rye flour has increased enormously since the late rise in the price of wheat flour. The ma. terial for black bread now costs only about half as much as that from which white bread is made. Consequently black bread is finding place on many tables where it was never seen before.
 Weil-:ed Americans doubtless deem it a hardship to give up their dainty loaf. Perhaps the following para. phrase of some lines from Goethe will make the substitute more palatablc:
 Poor man, what have you to dreads
 Whites your record, black your bread.
 Many rich mans life is checkered;
 His breads white and black his record.
