Nor to detract from the fame of
Father Damien, the heroic leper priest
of Molokai, in the Sandwich Islands,
it ought to be borne in mind that Ro-
man Catholics and Protestants are
about equally numerous, and that a
Protestant native minister who had
come to Molokai in charge of his Ieprous
wife, is also doing efficient work there ;
and that all this is the product of a
Christianity but half a century old.

Tho Old German'S TaIfs7nan.

The Germans have a story which that home-loving people like to repeat. A father, when his daughter became bride gave her golden casket with the injunction not to pass it into other hands, for it held a charm which, in her keeping, would be of inestima- ble value to her as the mistress of house. Not only was she to have the entire care of 1t, but she was to take it every morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the dining-room, the library, the parlor, the bedroom, and to remain with it in each place for five min utes, looking carefully about After Q lapse of three years the father was to send the key, that the secret taiisman might be re- vealed. The directions were followed. The key was sent. The casket was opened. It was found to contain an old parchment, on which was written these words: ttThe eyes of the mistress are worth one hundred pair of servants hands," The wise father knew that 8 practice of inspection followed faithfully for three years would become Q habit and be self-perpetuating-that tho golden casket and the hidden charm would have accomplished their mission.-Folk.

AN INTELLIGENT CAT.

1t Goes to Praycr-Me~t'ng to Bring Hom.
 Miss Eliza Orangeblossoln.
 Over at the West End, says the Boston Transcript, there lives 8 colored family which is noted for possessing a breed of cats which it seems to have a monopoly of remarkably intelligent animals they are, II not always sleek and handsome. Not long ago lady on Beacon Hill who was in need of 6 servant, and to whom daughter of this colored household had been recom- mcnded, called one evening at the little house up an alley where the people lived A stout, black woman came to the door.
 "Does Eliza Orangblossom live herer the lady asked.
 "Yes, she do, ma'a am; but she ain't in jcs' dis minute," said the stout, colored woman 'but ef you'll step in, I'll sem out arter her."
 She led the way Tn and seated the lady In the living room of the house. There were several cats present, one of which, Q scrawny but alert-looking Maltese with green eyes, rubbed up amiably and in- quiringly against the visitors dress.
 "You come way from dar, you Malty I" exclaimed the colorea woman to the cat. "You hyah met Now you go ober t. de chu'ch and git 'Lizy, and bring her home. You go fetch 'Lizy!" she repeated, holding the door open.
 The cat, after siding and wavering on the threshold moment, as cats always do in order not to appear too obedient, disappeared through the door.
 "Will-will the cat bring your daughtcr." the lady asked in astonishment.
 "Laws bless ye, ma'aE, you wait an see," said the colored woman.
 Somo minutes went by, end the lady be gan to think that the mission was quite 8 failure, when the door opened and strap ping colored girl came in with the Maltese cat at her heels. Tho girl had hardly got in when she broke out:
 "Mammy, did you send that 'ar Malty to fetch mel"
 "Co'se did"
 "Wal, now, I'm tired O habin' dat cat follerin' me up wherever go Seems like can't go nowhere but you send her after me! Dere wus in c pra' ar meetin' sittin: quiet in de pew listenin' to Matildy John. son relatin' her Experiences wid grace, an all t once in walks dat cat right up de aisle, an' begins mewin' an yowlin' at de pew door! Oh, dey wus all lookin' an laughin', and nothin' fer mo ter do, O co'se, but ter went right out. 1 hope yell 'scuse me, ma am, but reckon you wouldn't like ter be fetched homo way from de pra' ar meetin' by screechin' Maltese cat, neither.'' The visitor could not help inwardly rock oning that she wouldn't. But her ad- miration for the cat was so great that she made point afterward to get one of her kittens. The animal, however, was great disappointment Not that he seemed to be lacking particularly in intelligencc-he was intelligent enough, on the contrary, to get himself lodged and fed and petted without rendering any return whatsoever. He sits in the window pretty nearly the entire day, watching tho panorama on tho street with evident interest, and never appearing to dream for moment that he has any social duties.

FRED DOUGLASS.

The appointment of the venerable col
ored man, Fred Douglass, to be Minister to
Hayti was one fit to be made and reflects
credit upon the Administration. Douglass
is competent and trustworthy, and by edu-
cation, experience in State craft and schol-
arly requirement eminently qualified for
the important post. His career has been
singularly interesting. He rose from the
position of slave to that Of citizen of
influence in the councils of the people.
lie began his career with the shackles of
involuntary servitude riveted upon him.
There appeared in the horizon of his hope
not even a cloud so large as mans hand
indicating for his future any release from
the degradation of human slavery. Atthe
age Of p he fed from his master to the
soil of freedom and so diligently applied
himself to the acquisition of knowledge
that, aided by William Lloyd Garrison,
he was able at the age of "a to take po-
sition before the people and address them
from the public rostrum. His success as
an orator was instantaneous, and from that
moment he became one Of the most prom
inent of the anti-slavery advocates and
champions of the day. He lectured
throughout the far Eastern States as the
agent of the Massachusetts, Anti-Slavery
Society, and then went to Europe in the
same capacity. ;Englishmen raised the
money to purchase and insure his freedom,
and on his return to the United States he
entered upon a journalistic career at
Rochester, n Y He was demanded by
Virginia for supposed completely in the
John Brown affair, but fled to England,
returning soon, however, and resuming
publication Of his paper On the break
ing out OF the war Of the rebellion he be-
came the friend of Lincoln and counseled
the employment of colored troops and the
issuance Of the emancipation proclamation.
He aided very materially in enlisting ne
groes in the army and fitting them out for
the seat of war. With the abolition of
slavery Douglas moved to Washington and
published the National Era. In 1871 he
was appointed Assistant Secretary to
the Santo Domingo Commission, and
shortly after was made a member of the
Council of the District of Columbia. In
1872 he was chosen a Presidential
elector for the State of New York, and
was the messenger who carried the report
of the States vote for President to Wash
ington. In 1876 he was made Marshal of
the District of Columbia, and in 1881 Re
corder of Deeds for the District, an office
he held until removed by President Cleve.
land in 1886 He is the author of several
books os narratives, and is recognized as
an orator of singular power. No other
man of the negro race has had such an
eventful career as has Douglass, or more
signally demonstrated what are the posi-
bilities for the man who choose, to rise in
this land of opportunities.

paratory TO shaking off the infidel dust OF

means of the dying condemned who are
walled up alive in the little Matchbox

bad that these American newspapers
which talk so rudely of your " illustrious

by the Washington Government, and the
heads Of che impudent editors be taken off

THE BLESSING OF SONG.

What friend we have in Jesus"
Sang little child one day:
And weary woman listened
To the darling's happy lay.
All her life seemed dark and gloomy.
All her heart was sad with care;
Sweetly rang out baoy'S treble
All our sins and griefS to bear"
She was pointing out the Savior,
Who could carry every woe;
ana the one so sadly listened
Needed that dear helper sol
Sin and grief were heavy burdens
For tainting soul to bear;
But The baby, singing. babe her
TAKE 1t to the Lord in prayer"
With simple trusting spirit.
Weak and wora she turned to God,
Asking Christ to take her burden
As he was the sinners Lord
Jesus was her only refuge,
He could take her sin and care.
And he blessed the weary woman
When she came to him in prayer.
And the happy child, still singing.
Little knew She mad part
In Go1'S wondrous work of bringing
Peace unto troubled heart.

THE men who lnveieh against party and
are pleased to say that they adhere to no
party policy or measure, or who exclaim
that party is the bane of the nation, should
reflect that in no government Of democratic
form has any progression ever been made
except through party agency. There can
sses indeed, no great success in govern
mental policy, that has not behind it
something Of party origination and
strength. In republic the political party
is a necessity, because it is the only means
through which the differing judgments of
the people can find expression, and final
conclusion be reached as to what the policy
of the country shall be.

SOME tendcr-hearted people complain
that the English-Egyptian troops are de-
feating the Dervishes by starving them to
death. Well, that is what war means; the
killing Of human beings by sword, bullet,
ball, shell, torch, starvation and food.
War Is the very essence and extract of
cruelty; it feeds upon woe and human
misery it fattens upon horrors and re-
joices in death. It's just as fair to starve
the Dervishes as to shoot them down, so
far as war is concerned.
