MURAT H.iLSTEAD.

Murat Halstead is the managing
editor Of the Commercial Gazette, o.
Cincinnati. The Gazette is one Of th,
most influential papers, Halstead one
Of the strongest and most brilliant
writer's in the country. During the
past two years Halstead has handled
the United States senate without gloves
He has piled fiery denunciations on
struggling metaphors aud prodded indi-
vidual senators up with steel pointed
OK goads most mercilessly. But his
worst enemy dare not say that there has
been in his fiery diatribes a single par
ticle Of personal feeling or aught else
save sense Of duty to his country.
He may have been mistaken but his
sincerity is undoubted. The presi-
dent sent in the name Of Murat Hal
stead, editor, to tho senate as minister
to Germany, and the senate knitted
him.
There is good deal in this which
hepublic may we'll reflect upon. 1t is a
fair warning on the part Of the million
aires Of the senate that no man who
criticizes the senate can get its vote
for Office under the government. Sena-
tors voting against Halstead explained
that it was not criticism they objected
to but the nature Of the criticism.
Not one Of them claimed that it was
personal or dishonest criticism but that
it was too fierce and too strong, which
is in effect the same as saying that no
criticism will be allowed, because, in
any case, the senate is the Judge Of the
degree. An editor. therefore, who
dares to question the United States
senate, thereby bars his own path to
official recognition, and this deal Of the
senate is censorship of the press un-
der new form.
Murat Halstead belongs to the old
style Of journalism, which is rapid ly
becoming extinct. Newspapers are
wholly changed in character. The ed
itorial is becoming daily smaller and
smaller, and the papers are becoming
mere newspapers full of news and
sparse of ideas. The editor no longer
sits on the watch towers Of liberty to
point out corruption, fraud and vici-
Gus principles in government or gov
eminent officials, but is far more con-
cerned in getting the earliest informa-
ton about prize fight, or one negro
killing another, hundreds of miles
away, than he is in unearthing schemes
threatening public integrity or public
liberty. There are few old fashion
ed papers, and few old fashioned edi-
tors left and the senate has given fair
warning to this few that the times are
out Of joint for those editors who do
not bend the pregnant hinges of the
knee.

FdLSEHOOD AND DECEIT OF
JACOB.
GENESIS XVI

GENESIS XVII
The cause of Rebekah $ treachery was
ambition. But here is trait of female
character: it is a woman's ambition,
not a mans. She desired nothing for
herself, but for Jacob; doing wrong
not for her own advantage, but for the
sake of one she loved. so that he might
gain. She did noArare. Upon me be
thy curse, my son.
There are persons who would roman
tically admire this devotion of Rebekah
and call it beautiful TO sacrifice all,
even principle, for another. What
higher proof of affection can there DO !!
o miserable so2histryl the only true
affection is that which is subordinate
to a higher. Be sure he cannot love
another much, who loves not honor
more.
A mother 8 affection is called by many
religious people idolatry because 1t is
intense. Do not mistake. No one ever
loved child. brother or sister too much.
1t is not the intensity OF affection, but
its interference WITH truth aud duty
that makes it idolAtry. Compare Re-
bekah's love with that Of Abraham = for
his son. Abraham was ready to sacri-
fee his son to duty-she sacrificed truth
and duty to her son. Which loved a
son the most 7 Which was the nobler
lovey Even as a question Of perma-
manence, which would last the longer /!
For consider what respect this guilty
son and guilty mother could retain for
each other after this.
Jacob was a pliable. weak man, be-
cause he became the tool Of another.
He was more afraid Of doing the de-
cit than anxious the deceit should not
be done. He had obtained the birth
right, and doubtless longed for the
blessing, though not bad enough to
form plan like his mothers. All
temptation and occasions OF Elm are

TRAMPS WITH TAMBOURINE'S.
Alabama Advocate.

alabama Advocated
We do not hesitate TO say that the
Salvation Army, in our judgment, was
not embraced in Christ's plans for the
eyangelizaton of the world. If it is
proper for young ladies to parade the
streets, enter saloons and dives, ard
herd together without regard to sex,
and sleep on benches, in what they call
barracks, - at night. then the Salvation
Army is entitled to the respect and sup
port of good people,: but if womanly
modesty and safety, as well as COM
mon decency, is required in religious
matters, then they are not entitled to
the respect Of those who seek to advance,
ia legitimate way, the interests OF
Christi kingdcm. 1t is amazing to see
how men, who ere worthless in the
Church, suddenly become infatuated
with every little side-show that passes
along, and to see with what readiness
they pour out their abuse upon every
man who refuses to throw up his hat
and hurrah for the thing they bavs SC
recently learned to admire. We have
;ust found out that we have some
members who are wonderfully
strengthened in their religious faith
and quickened in their zeal by seeing

THE STARS AND FLOWERS.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

When Eve had led her lord away,
And cain had slain his brother.
The stars and flowers the poets say
Agreed with one another
To cheat the cunning temptois art
And teach the race It's duty.
By keeping on It's wicked heart
Their eyes OF light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids they say
VIII be at least n warning.
And so the flowers will watch oy day,
The stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn
Their dewy eyes upturning,
The flowers still watch from reddening daWi
TIL western skies are burning.
Alasi etch hour OF daylight tells
A tale Of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea. blcached shells
While some are always blushina
But when the patient stars look down
on all their light discovers
The traitors smile. the murderer Is frown,
The lips OF lying lovers
They try to shut their saddenlng eyes.
And In the vain endeavOr
We see them twinlllng In the skies,
And so they wink forever.

JEWS LEADERS OF LONDON SO
Getty.

The Inauguration OF a wealthy and
highly esteemed Hebrew merchant as
Lord Mayor OF London Is not SO re-
markable as it would have seemed
few years ago. before the rich Hebrews
of London attained the social promi
nence and power that they have to-day.
They have become the most exclusive
circle in London. and their cards are
sought for with as much eagernsss as
the coveted bid to the yearly garden
party at Marlborough House-"to meet
III II. the Queen.
The Oppenheims recently gave din
ner, a concert and ball the same even
ing. At the dinner only royalties were
invited. The concert was more gener
al, but was limited to duchesses, mar
chionesses and cOuntesses, while the
ball was for grand society in general.
Mrs. Oppenheim is an Irishwoman, and
her husband one of the most popular
men in society.
The great rivals of the Oppenbeims
are the observation-disclosures. The face of
Mrs b. is we'll known here frcm the
engravings and prints that have been
published in our different art journals
of the superb portrait Millais painted Of
her, which was exhibited at the Royal
Academy, the Paris Salon. and is con.
sidered one of his finest works. She
has = mature but splendid beauty and
dresses with great art. She is woman
of the world, thoroughly continental in
manners, sparkling and brilliant. She
spends much Of Der time and most of
her money in Paris, but thoroughly en-
joys the position that great wealth and
royal favor give her in London.
1t is a singular fact that these two
untitled Jewesses, Mrs. Oppenheim and
Mrs. BischoffscheIm. are the only
women who can really claim to be lead
ers of fashion in London. They both
have great original taste, both are ex-
travagant and luxurious dressers, and
both send to Paris for everything, not
caring for the affected Redfern tailor
made simplicity so much adopted by the
Princess of Wales and her followers.
OF course the old conservatives lock
upon all that with horror. Ii did not
seem SO bad when the Rothschilds be-
gan it; they had so long been the conf
dents of kings. they were at least titled,
and their name itself had grand ring.
The ich London Jews seems to have
formed syndicate for the capture of
foreign royalty. for when the Shah Of
Persia was in London he was scarcely
ever out Of their hands. The most gor-
geous receptions and dinners were
given him IN town, aud he was also
royalty entertained at their country
seats He dined with Lady Roseberry,
Alfred ard Ferdinand dc Rothschild !;
but the recept ion given him by Sir Al
bert Sassoon. an Oriental Jew, at the
Empire Theatre, was the most marvel
lous affair Of the season. On this &C.
caslon coronels glittered even in the
gallery. There were dozens OF prin-
cesses present and each was presented
with magnificent bouquet Of the rarest
orchids by Sir A lbcrt. The supper cost

man, having got access to his chamber,
walked around his bed, repeating the
words which the bishop had pro-
nounced when walking round the COW,
and which she believed had cured the

A BISHOP AFTER THE APOSTOLIC
PAT ~PN.

Bishop Talbot, OF Idaho and Wyou~
ing, recently made ali address in Buf
falo, in which he told his bearers Just
what work Far West" Bishop has TO
do. He amusipgly said that he some
times felt sorry for Bishops in the Eas-
tern States. who had such small do.
ceses to look after. Now he has a do
cese to look after as large in area ss
New York, all OF New England. and
three or four Southern States thrown
in, and there is some spur to n man in
his work when he has to ride 800 miles
from one point to another. Some
OF the Bishops stories were very enter
tanning, eplisting the earnest attention
Of every person. even to the smallest
child. lie related that on one occasion
he went to mining town in which
nearly all the public buildings were
saloons, and rather an unpromising
place to hold meetings" He went on
to the street; his clerical garb betrayed
him, and almost every man he tried to
meet slipped into saloon. SO the
Bishop finally decided to follow the
men into the saloons. and did 50.
The proprietor received him courte
ously and called out, Boys. stay your
game for while, drop your chips; the
parson wants to speak to you" Intro
ductions followed: the Bishop stated his
desire to hold services. He was imme-
diately promised that the best hall in
the place should be opened for him.
That night the room was packed, and
after the meeting resolutions were
passed that led to the building Of q
church. Of parsonage and the pledg-
ing of handsome salary to a regular
minister.
On another occasion the Bishop asked
at a saloon in town where u minister

The Bishop. laughing, asked him TO try
aud get up some music for the evening.
The result was that the Bishop found a
dozen men assembled ready to ring
some Moody and SaDkey hymns, and
never had he heard better music. There
also permanent and furnishing church
was founded.
Bishop Talbot said that even these
rough men Of the mining camps are

.n' TACT That she is not willing that a

brethren in Persia have found their
journey much shortened by taking the

RUSSIA instead Of the long horseback
ride through Turkey; but the other day
the Russian Embassy here gave an alb
'olute refusal to an application for per-
mission for Rev. Mr.. Wright and his
FAMILY to pass through Russia. Per
mission was secured only through our
Embassy in st. Petersburg. If the
Russian Government is so unwilling o

several murders and several
