From the proceeding of a Meeting OF
the American Peace Society, held in
Pilgrim Hall, Boston, Jan. %, as re-
ported in the Boston Evening Trans.
script, the following items are extract,
ed:
Rcsolvcol, That in pursuance of our
mission viz, to do what is in our power
to prevent an appeal to arms for the
settlement of international difficulties,
we would hereby express our satisfac-
ton at the subsidence of excitement
and the absence Of new causes of irrit;l-
ton between Great Britain and the
United States Oh the subject of the
fisheries also, the increasingly friend
ly relations between the people of the
United States and Canada, as manifest
ed in propositions emanating from
citizens of each country, for the COM
mercial and even the political union OF
the two countries.
RcsOtUeti, That the recent accounts
of savage warfare carried Oh by the
natives of.the island of Samoa, said to
have been participated in by the citi-
zens Of this and other civilized nations,
have caused us pain and anxiety; but
we see no reason why the differences
which have arisen under the treaty
with Germany and between the citi-
zens of this republic and those of the
German empire should not be settled
by negotiation or, if necessary, by arbi-
tration. The guarantee of neutrality
entered into by treaty between Ger
many and Great Britain gives us conf
dence that peace will be restored and Il
stable government maintained, under
which the rights of American citizens
and those Of other nations will be re-
spcctcd.
If our country does no more than her
duty and Claims no more than her
treaty rights in Samoa, Germany must
concede the latter, especially as she
ioined England in guaranteeing the
neutrality of the islands. Unless the
latter is again ''perlidious Albion" she
must insist on non-interterence in ma
tive wars by any foreign powers.
The resolution on taxation for MILL
tary purposes, especially for immense
CO;lSl lOIlluCdtlOllS, u SlCoG navy CIV
the l50, 1000 soldiers necessary to man
the new forts and ships was sharply
debated, criticised and controverted:
The propositions made by the United
States army and naval officers before
the Beacon Club OH the 10Th inst.
were quoted, especially the SlO,OOO,Oo
for the immediate defence of Boston,
against an imagined enemy, and the
s., ,OO0,O 600 proposed to fortify the
whole country. The speakers pointed
out that our country must initiate
Europe in it's taxes and its conscription
for military purposes, and the policy
by Washington, and hitherto
pcrsucd, be reversed, and Amerioa
become, like Europe, a great camp,
and that, too, with no enemy among
the nations of the world.
We would have 4 little more light if
the meeting OF the reporter had given
the difference between "savage', war-
fare and the same thing done by

PrOprietOrS and FOremen.

A correspondent Of Wood and Iron
asks what he shall do under the follow
ing circumstances: He says that he is
foreman Of certain shop, but that he
is foreman only in name. The pro-
prietor, who, he says, has no mechahi-
cal knowledge, continually interferes
with the men, giving them orders con-
trary to his directions. He asks our
advice as to whether he had "better
quit or kick him out of the shop"
We have been, says the editor, in pre-
cisely that situation ourselves, and we
think on the whole he had better seek
pastures new" Where q proprietor
of that kind interferes in the manage
ment of the shop at all, he will contin-
ue to do it, and the less he eknows about
mechanics, the more he will interfere.
a little incident in the life of the
late President Rutter, of the Lake
Shore Railroad, may not be out of place
as illustrating the relative positions of
proprietors and foremen. When Mr..
Rutter first became general baggage
agent for the Vanderbilt system, he
came upon a very knotty problem, and
not knowing what decision to give, he
went to Vanderbilt for advice on the
subject. When he had stated the case,
Mr.. Vanderbilt turned to him and ask
cd: "What salary do we pay you?"
Eight thousand dollars year.
"What do we pay it to you for?"
"For acting as general baggage agent"
"Well, do you want me to earn your
salary for you?" Mr.. Rutter immedi-
ately came to a decision, and never
again troubled Mr.. Vanderbilt with
his conundrums.

Charity.

4 beggar died last night, his soul
Went up TO God, and said:
81 come uncallcd; forgive it, Lord;
died for want Of bread
Then answered him the Lord of heaven,
''Son, how can this thing be?
Are not my saints on earth? and they
Had surely succored thee
"Thy saints, o Lord" the beggar said,
Live holy lives of prayer:
How shall they know of such as we?
We perish unaware
"They strive to save our wicked souls,
And I'll them for the sky;
Meanwhile, not having bread to eat,
(Forgive y our bodies die"
Then the Lord God spake out of heaven
In wrath and angry pain:
go men, for whom my Son hath died,
My Son hath lived in vain y

"A certain old lady down in Maine

inal of that famous character for all
the Boston Transcript Listener knows
Not long ago she was telling of the
wild times in the woods down there
before the country was settled.
"Why," said she, "the folks used to
be walked up in the night by the howl
of the pamphlets in the woods"
tits to be inferred that CHE meant
"panthers," though no doubt there
have been such things as bowling

WITH A SMALL Give notice thai
some of our exchanges spell "Christi-
an" with a small c, and then, some
times they mangle "Christmas" by
putting it Xmas. These same news
papers, we presume, would spell Mo-
hammed with the proper number OF
lettors, and begin Mohammcdanism
with u capital NJ.
And it was formerly the "rule' to
begin all pronouns standing for the
name of Deity with a capital letter.
Now we rarely see this done. why?

SuperStitiOHS About Babies.

Harper's Bazaar has collected the fol-
lowing interesting superstitions about
babies. Some of them are familiar
sayings in every country, others arc
new:
1t is believed by many that if child
cries at its birth, and lifts up only one
hand, it is born to command.
1t is thought very unlucl1y not to
weigh the baby before it is dressed
When first dressed the clothes should
not be put on over the head, but drawn
on over the feet, for luck.
When first taken from the room in
which it was born, it must be carried
up stairs before going down, so that il
will rise in the world. In any case, ii
must be carried up stairs or up the
street, not down stairs or down the
street, the first time it is taken out.
1t is also considered in England and
Scotland unlucky to cut the babies
nails or hair before it is twelve months
old.
Born on Monday, fair in face;
Born on Tuesday. full Of Gods grace;
Born OH Wednesday, the best to be had;
Born on Thursday, merry and glad;
Born on Friday, worthily given;
Born on Saturday, work hard for living;
Born on Sunday, shall never know want.

The child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and good, and blithe and gay;

And
He that Is born on Easter morn
Shall never know care or want or harm.

Not In Germany but OF B0nhan
Island

The following telegram shows thai
Malietoa, the King of Samoa, was moi
sent to Germany as our correspondent
states in his letter, but hid away? in
another place.
San Francisco, January 26. The
American schooner H. l.. i'ieman ar.
rived here from Marshall Island, the
place of Punishment of Malietoa, the
deposed King of Samoa. Malietoa ar.
rived at Jaliot, on Bonham Island
about November 25 en- the German
war ship Olga. He was accorded the
liberty Of the Island, but was guarded
by German soldiers anu prevented
from holding intercourse with the
white people of Jaliot. L. NJ. Morgan,
United States consul at Jaliot, endeav-
ored to get into conversation with
the deposed King, but was prevented
from doing so. Malietoa has aged
considerably since being placed in cap.
tivity, and wanders aimlessly about
Jaliot as if he had given up all hope OF
escape.
The discrepancy between the state
ment of our correspondent and the
telegram was probably occasioned(-
such is the duplicity of tyranny-)
by giving out that Malietoa would be
carried to Germany when it was the
purpose of his captors to locate him
elsewhere. Our correspondent doubt.
less had authority for saying that the
King had been deported to Germany.

During the years 1886, Y and g, on account Of
the dreuth, but little was grown, and the
farmers had to mortgage their farms and stock
to support their families, and consequently are
at present in very needy circumstances.
As Spring approaches, these farmers desire to
save their homesteads aud stock, which thew
have toiled hard TO acquire through four sea-
sons of drouth, and they consequently make an
appeal to their friends of the East for aid Unless
seed can be obtained in this way the majority
OF these farmers cannot put in the next years

County many viii be compelled to leave. while
other industrious but poor and unfortunate
families, who have mortgaged everything and
cannot get away, will have to suffer-
These people have put off asking aid as long
as it was possible TO obtain enough TO live
upon, but as now starvation is staring MANY of
them in the face, they are compelled to ask for
aid, as many other Counties have done in years
past There is no work being done in the
County, and, as natural consequence, these
farmers are unable to earn a dollar for their
support. For further information address

6. The .Arnl.ments.

j. The sOnl IS worth all else worth sacrifice,
cross bearing, suffering. There is nothing so
much to a man as his soul. Make the soul
first. Be most anxious for spiritual riches
Never exchange the soul for anything All
else is of less value, and hence your exchange
would be bad bargain. The lesson shows the
relative importance of religion as compared
with all else. Here is thought for the bust
ness man. Your soul is your greatest asset
bonds, mortgages, money being as nothing in
comparison.
2 If your soul be saved you shall have reCog-
milton of God when he comes to Judgment.
You will be one of his Kingdom. The power
of God will be used for instead of against you.
(9:1.)
z. Conclusion.
We must change our ideas of values. We
must not count ourselves possessed of any Sc
curities unless the salvation of our souls be Sc
cure.
We must form new ideas as to selEdenial,
cross bearing. We have thought these against
when indeed they are for our good. Bond
says: If we accustom ourselves to lfdenial,
we break the force OF most temptations" And
Walter Scott wrote: "There never did and
there never will exist anything permanently
noble and excellent in the character which is a
stranger to the exercise of resolute selfdenial"
