OF freedom. That it is entirely practic-
able scheme, we believe. The fears men
have had Of Equatorial Africa have been
greatly diminished by the knowledge
gained through the explorations of Liv-
ingstone, Stanley and the Belgian explor-
ers. We know now how to outfit in resist
ance to natural enemies on the route, and
how to move to avoid obstacles once
thought to be insurmountable. The Car
dinal. who has, by the way, the indorse-
ment for his scheme of all creeds and civil
lized nations, and before whose humane
enterprise all distinctions and jealousies
have been sunk out of sight, has had such
encouragement and such liberal offers of
moneyed aid, and so many volunteers
offer, that he is filed with enthusiasm
for the work, and this, backed by the spirit
of the missionary and the courage of the
soldier, warrants the belief that he will

ton, that the employee may be able to do
better service the remainder of the term.
The "days off" are always greater gain to
the employer, unless the employee spends
them in way to make his discharge the
right reward for his behavior. The law of
vacation. says the contemporary named,
began to assert itself about twenty-five
years ago, and as an unwritten law, let it
be added, it has attained avigor that many
OF the statutory mandates have not. This
vacation period has grown into more than
custom, it is need; We live and labor at
such rate of speed in this age, that "the
pause" is necessity, if we would keep up
the full head of steam. The vacation re-
news vitality, freshens the heart, and re-
stores the acuteness of the mental vision.
1t inspires anew the Imagination, con-
serves content with labor, and enlarges the
capacity to accomplish, so that in the short
as well as the long run the vacation Is the
gain of the employer. If for no other rea-
son, the fact that the vacation is relief
from the weary round and grind of labor,
and thus strengthens and refreshes, it is a
wise investment by the employer, and
hence should not be stigmatized and shorn
of its character by being rated as gift

The North China Herald comments upon
the fact that in one day at soochow, re-
Gently, eleven criminals were executed. 1t
says:
1.-THE reader might exclaim, What a wicked
city but one field OF blood answers for
Kiangsu. In the home lands the murderer has
the day fixed. He is regularly visited by the
Clergyman and the reporter, and for the brief
time receives much attention from the public
Under pressure of petitions the fatal day is de-
ferred for a month Here all is different. Had
the Hebrew prophets lived IN China they
would certainly have chosen an execution as
an emblem Of sudden destruction
The question suggests itself, Is not the
Chinese system-with some modification
preferable to ours ?r In China so soon as
the final condemnation takes place, the
death warrant issues, is forwarded to the
War Office, receives the requisite indorse-
ment and the messenger dashes back post
haste to the prison. He spares neither
whip nor spur, has fresh relays of trans
portation, and sleeping and eating as he
goes he makes for his destiHation with all
possible haste. On his arrival messengers
with equal haste summon the district
magistrate, a squad of executioners and
guards is turned out, aud with utmost
dispatch the criminal is taken to the
ground selected and dispatched. This is
altogether too speedy for the humane
sentiment, at the same time our delays
run to the other extreme. We might well
modify our system SO that the swiftness of
the application of the penalty would have
more of terror for the evil-doers who are
expected to be deferred in their career by
the severity of the law.

AFRICAN SLAVERY.

The Archbishop of Carthage, the cour-
ageous Cardinal Lavigerie, has revived his
scheme for the suppression of the slave
trade in Africa. Je said recently, in speak
ing of the conference of friends of the
scheme now in session at Brussels to plan
international action for the furtherance of
the enterprise:
Never since the day of the gallant Christian,
Livingstone has the slave trade been so active,
so widespread, as at this very moment.
young girl brings $40. pretty girl. however,
is often run up to 100 and even go piasters. A
child goes for $40 or S30 the scale of prices vary
ing with its health, beauty and strength Some
times this slave market, which the simple
minded would have US believe does not exist,
I becomes glutted and prices fall The wealthy
firms buy up slaves of their lesser competitors
and make corner in living merchandise, We
will aim at the fountain head of this Shiny
stream Of slavery. With a strong hand and
an armed force we propose to treat this malady
this heart disease OF the Dark Continent
sureically, and only against considerable force
and only after some sanguinary examples have
been made, will these tribes see their game is
up and listen TO reason.
His plan is to move into Central Africa
with a body of one thousand well-armed
and stalwart men, who are willing to take
their lives in their hands and assume the
risk of death by poisoned arrows, the river
fever and the sting of venomous reptiles.
They must not expect go out as conquerers,
nor are they to be permitted to bring away
spoils. On the contrary, fire arms and the
sword will be the last resort. The good
will of the tribes will be sought, and they
will be shown that the enterprise is in
tended to aid them to freedom from the
forays of the slave-traders. All that can
be won over by the arts of peace viii be
enrolled as allies, and so far as is possible
they will be rewarded. The force thus
gathered will be stationed along the three
great routes of the slave-traders and the
passage of the latter disputed. If it comes
to a conflict of arms, the party will not
hesitate to ply them to the utmost. In
the meantime the tribes that have been
the victims of the slavers will be educated
to the understanding of the friendliness
and pure philanthropy of the Cardinals
force, and he will at the same time present
the claims of Christianity, while officers of
the expedition teach the natives how to
defend themselves from the raids of the
traders, and will train them in the use of
fire arms. Along the routes stations viii |
be established and garrisoned, to which !
the assailed can appeal in case slave |
horde does succeed in getting into the
country. From these stations men and of
fcers will go out to direct the people in
their defense. In this manner the
Cardinal believes that the slave trade will |
be utterly broken up inside of two or three
years.
1t is noble scheme, is one that literally !
carries the Bible in one hand and the
sword in the other. It's purpose appeals to
the best instincts of humanity, its aim

THE Boston Globe in recent report
quoted the boastful remark of an en-
ployer in that city, who exclaimed: " We
give away Just two years of time to our
employees every year. That is, we have
seventy employees, and we give each Of
them ten days vacation each year" The
question suggests itself whether the word
"give" is properly, or, rather, justifably
used in that connection. The time allowed
the employee may, abstractly. hardly and
unfeelingly be termed a gift, but In truth
the beneficiary most largely interested in
it is the employer. If it is not, it should
be an understood thing between employer
and employee, at the time of the making Of
