The Architectural Profession.

A disappointed architect thus depicts
the average experiences Of his profess
sion: ''Our education is expensive. We
begin, say, to draw while at school. A
deluded parent. with visions before
him of Wren and lingo Jones, decides
to cultivate our talents A special
college course acquaints us with the
elements of perspective. Then we are
bundled off to Paris to the school of
fine arts and study at other capitals.
Perhaps we also receive private in
struction from some famous foreign
architect. At the age of, say, %, we
return. Our first conquest is seat at
a drawing board in some effice-salary
$40 week. Our employer cheerfully
uses our work, and we enjoy seeing
our pet designs adjoining the face of
the earth and another man getting the
credit. And if we don't happen to have
powerful friends. with mania for
bricks and mortar, we may occupy
that delightful situation for the full
term of our natural lives.n

The Foreign Contract Law
Nullity.

BradStreet'S says of the matter:
1T appears that the law as originally
passed provided punishment for
persons who imported labor under
contract, but made no disposition in
relation to the laborers. The last
Congress amended the law by in
sorting a provision for the return of
laborers at the expense of the steam
ship company which brought them
over, but it did not give Jurisdiction
in such cases to any court The
conclusion arrived at by the Treas
ury officials appears to be that if ar
rests are made under the law a writ
of ha6eaS corpus will lie in each case,
and that consequently laborers i'm
ported under contract can remain in
the country without let or hindrance. !"
The act was passed as a concession
by the politicians to the unreasoning
labor element of the country. There
was something praiseworthy, per-
haps, in the purpose to try to keep
out the hordes of ignorant foreigners
who were brought here in a species
of slavery from Italy and Hungary
by contractors. But the law has not,
in fact, excluded these people, while
it has interfered with the coming
hither of highly skilled laborers, and
even of professional men, We have
by no means all the skilled labor we
want, and the man who is most
wanted is good workman who
comes with a contract in his pocket
which will put him at work as soon
as he steps ashore. 1t is positively
idiotic to shut out a man who is GER
tain to support himself from the
start, and to admit myriads of for
eigners Of whom there is no assur
ance that they will not be profession
al paupers before the year is out.

The Winter Engagement

The base ball batter's day is gone,
The buckwheat batter's day comes on,
When all of us will strive to make
A record which shall take the cake.
Well face the syrup pitchers plate,
And bravely knock out six or eight,
Until the cook below shall shout
In saddening tones, "The batter's out.
And should we chance to strike fly,
While eating huckleberry pie,
Oh, let us not give up not howl
Because we can't run on fowl.
Whenever the waiter softly calls
A base on dried potato balls,
Then let us not be sore distressed,
But order goose EGGS for the rest.
So let us still be undismayed,
While trusting landlords may be played,
And not till stand-offs are denied
Shall we be base enough to slide

The Prison and Pasha in Morocco.

In sordid vestibule, whose walls
are covered with torn mating, the
jailer smokes his pipe filled with kiff,
that Slightly opiated plant which
takes the place of tobacco in these
parts. Three women, draped in their
helix, are weeping near Il grated open
ing in the prison door; and in the in
terror darkness human face is scarce
lv discernble. AS we approach, the
women stand aside, and lean arm is
passed through the grating and
stretched toward us suppliantly, with
out word being uttered | put q
silver piece in the hand; Immediately
one of the women takes the money
and hurries away toward the town,
doubtless to buy bread. l look through
the grating, and distinguish vast
foul-smelling and sombre room, with
out air, in which are human forms
crowding and crouching, with the
noise of chains, and the lamentable
and sinister murmur of words uttered
in low voice. The criminals in this
prison are perhaps none but people ac-
cused of possessing few douros which
they never even saw, and who are now
waiting in the horror of this black hell
until the efforts of their parents or the
charity of some traveller like myself
shall help them by degrees to make up
the sum of their ransom!
In presence of such misery as this one
can understand how the ardent inn
agination of these nations is exalted
by religion, and how they seek in re-
ligion comfort consolation, and hope
of Justice hereafter which will COM
pensate terrestrial woes by celestial
joys, and requite their suffering in
chains and dungeons by the delights
of paradise. One can comprehend
these peoples attaching themselves
with fierce faith to their belief in God
and in future life, and being proof
against the atheistic scepticism which
hovers over the Western world. They
have need of God more than the citi-
zens of Europe; they want a Master
and Judge above their earthly
judges and masters.

"The Episcopal clergymen of Bos-
ton are determined to reach the pop
ulace if it is possible. They intend
to hold Sunday night meetings at the
theaters, to consist chiefly of per-
formances by brass band, good
choir and selection of familiar
hymns '-E1ehange.
If it be important to reach the
masses of population who never at
tend church, then it is clear some
extra means must be employed. If
a census were taken of those who
attend religious services and those
who do not, the latter would be
found largely in the majority.

National w. c. T. u.

The annual meeting of the Nation
al Womans Christian Temperance
Union will be held in Chicago, com
mencing Nov. 9Th, and continuing to
Nov. 18th inclusive. 1t is expected
this meeting will be attended by dis
tinguished temperance women from
different parts of the United States,
the British Provinces and from Eng
land. The program published is an
attractive one. The w c. T. U.
in this city is said to be the only
open temperance society here, aside
from the secret organizations. This
society has important benevolent
work on its hands and deserves a
more general recognition.

Race Question in Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s.
The publication of the annual report
of the major of police of Washington
has brought a comment upon the
condition of the negro in the Dis
triCt of Columbia, which almost
alarms some of the new white resi-
dents. The report shows that ten
blacks for every one white person APP
pear in the police and criminal courts
charged with crime; that the num-
Der of blacks received at the station
houses and sent to the workhouse or
Jail and the penitentiary from the
District of Columbia is in the same
proportion to the number of whites
sent to these places. The question
is being discussed by the local news
papers whether the increase of the
black population and the consequent
increase of crime is becoming suffl-
GENTLY alarming to warrant either
congressional or police action. 1t
is believed that the census of 1890
will show that the District Of Colum-
bia has $50, 900 population and that
there are of this number 100000
blacks. The fact that there are bet
ter school privileges and church ac-
commodations for the negroes in
Washington than in any other sec
ton of country is pointed out in the
face of the statement that the col
ored individuals are continually ret
regarding, and that whereas ten
years ago but ten or twelve COlOred
persons we're annually charged with
murder in the first degree, the num-
Der now averages over thirty, and
that the number charged with man
slaughter and criminal.assault is three
and four times larger with the pro-
portionate degree of negroes during
the past decade. After the colored
boy or man is educated in Washing
ton it is said that he refuses to learn
trade or go to work upon farms or
in gardens, but is content to be
about the streets backing shoes,
holding horses, carrying boxes, sell
ing papers, driving carts and doing
odd jobs. No remedy is suggested;
the trend of the agitation is simply
to raise the race question. The old
inhabitants are from the ancient
families of Maryland and Virginia,
with all Of the race prejudices held
| by the bOurbOnS.
We suspect there must be some
mistakes in the foregoing statement
of the condition of the colored race
at Washington. If it be strictly re-
liable that the morals Of the colored
people are as represented, they must
have sadly degenerated during the
last ten years or less. The negroes
were quite as orderly and free from
overt acts as the average common
white people, Were it not for the
too general prejudice against the ne
gro race, the statements of their vic
iousness would be more readily &C
CeDted.

The total coal consumption of the
world is said to amount to more than
l, 100000 cwt per hour. Of this
quantity about 24o, 900 cwt, are re-
quired per hour in order to heat the
boilers for stationery and marine en-
gines, locomotives, etc. The pro-
duction of pig-iro absorbs 100000
cwt., and that of other metals $4,000
cwt. per hour The average hourly
consumption of household coal is
reckoned at 200, 900 cwt., but the to-
tai production is estimated at 3o,-
100000 cwt. to 100000 per diem,
SO there is considerable margin.
