TO Take Care eefThemsclves.
A Popular fairy tale among the children
of Dickens time described land in which
the children took the place of the grown
people and conducted sffairs in an elderly
way, while their parents in pinafores were
kept in thesnurssry and obliged to obey all
orders Of their juvenile supsriors, says the
Boston Journal. This state of affairs seems
amusing IL a fairy tails of old-faskioned
days, when the children were supposed to be
kept under strict parental discipline. In
this "age of yonng people," when all are try
ing to please the children, from the minister
who breaches "to reach the youngn to the
fond relatives of the child, princeor princess,
there is less novel romance and more reality
in Dickens fanciful idea.
Among the most self. dependent little ones
whom one meets are the infant travellers now
often seen In this season of the year. There
recently arrived in Boston little girl of Ave
years, who had travelled alone from Detroit.
''She probably had never had such good
time In her life," said one of the ladies in
the same PulIman car. "An the attention
dies of the car, and the porter, in whose care
she was placed, saw that she reached her
destination without trouble. The other
children of the car played with her; she had
more invitations to meals than she could &C.
cept, and ehe seemed as happy as possible. "
The child had been forwarded from her
mother in Detroit TO an aunt in Boston.
Only a few days before, a party of three
children, the Oldest of whom was ten years,
had travelled safely from Boston to Kansas
City, each child bearing q tag on which
was written his name and place of deeti-
nation. The sleeping car porters say that

Here is the latest description of Bismarck,
Let me try to describe the outward seeming
of my iilustrious host, as he strobe firmly
along through the leafy paths and umbrage-
ous winding ways of Friedrichsruh park,
manifeatly as sound in ''wind and limb" as
the toughest of his forestsrs or the hardest
of his keepers. He wore q soft, broad
brimmed hat, thick wide necksrshief knot
ted in front, long, dark, loose coat buttoned
up to the throat, gray trousers and strong,
double-soled boots. In his right hand, un-
gloved, he carried black stick with a slight
ly curved handle, upon which he rarely
leaned while walking on level ground. His
mustache no longer overhangs his whole
mouth, as Of yore, but has been trimmed
comparatively short so as to show the under
lip. He bears himself in his old martial
fashion, with head erect and shoulders well
thrown back. The inoipisnt corpulence
which made him appear somewhat over-bulky
about ten years ago has entirely vanished.
The exiling to Siberia of political and

her criminals to Australia. But In the new
land of their exile, having laid the founda
ton of industry and civilization, they at thu
same time promoted disloyalty and immoral
ity to such degree that respectable settler
were afraid to 60 there, until at last England
was compelled to change her system of exil
and to substitute that of prison reform.

PENALTIES OF PROGRESS.
Every Step of III Iman Advancement la

Every Step of III imam Advancement Has
Been Marked by Elood.
That we can not get something for
nothing, that Irorress always has PEN
alties, is one of the oldest lessons OF
human experience. Old as it is, how
ever, il does not appear to have been
we'll learned and properly applied.
The general outcry against the use OF
electrical appliances for illumination
and motive power forcibly illustrates tho
pre- valent ignorance of this venerable
truism. Because men have been killed
by contact with "liye" wires and be-
cause buildings have been fired by cleo
Iricity, we witness a vehement protest
against and stout opposition by electric;
ty in many cases whore it really ought
to supplant existing facilities for light
or transportation or both. In largo
New England City at this timo fight
is being waged against the substitution
of electric for horse power on street
railways. It was decided that the de-
mand for rapid transit i'll that city
could best be met by chartering cleo
trio roads. But one or two acct
dental deaths occurred and now the
slogan is: '"The wires must go" Steam
Stays thousa nds where electricity Kills
dozens. Moro persons are killed by gas
in one year than by electricity in ten
years. But we don't hear that steam
must CO." nor is there an upheaval OF
the public's wrath against gas. In all
human probability electricity will in
few years be so we'll understood and so
safely handled that twill be productive
of fewer casualties in proportion to the
extent of its use than any other motive
or illuminating agency. Invention is
applying itself to the task OF reducing
electric danger to the minimum. Tho
wild horse of the heavens is being
tanned, and will soon be as harmless as
any thing else that God has endowed
with power. Meantime let us recur to
the old lesson that nothing is not the
price we must pay for something Every
step of human progress, from the condi-
ton of a naked barbarian in the primo
val wilderness to the present state OF
the most enlightened nations, has been
marked by blood. We get no advance
ment in government, in science, in re-
ligiOn. or in any thing else, that we
don't pay for. The land of dreams Is
the only land where this rule is not In
force Castles in Spain are the only
residences of people who make progress
without penalties. Inventive Age.

THE SEPOY REBELLION.
Causes Which Operated to Bring About
the Terrible Indian Mutiny.

the Terrible Indian Mutiny.
The causes which operated to bring
about the terrible Indian mutiny of 1857.
known as the Sepoy rebellion, were va
rious. The Princes who had been de-
prived of their powers by the East In
dian Company had been active in stir
ring up a general discomfort. The Brit
ish had raised and armed large native
force, which was drilled and commanded
by British officers. This force was COM
posed partly of Sepoys of Bengal, who
were by religion high caste Brahmins,
and partly Mohammedans. These
troops came in time to realize that
British power in the East largely de-
pended upon them for maintenance, and
therefore grew arrogant and displayed at
times a mutinous spirit. Good manage
ment on the part of the off GERS, howev-
er, for long time prevented an out
break, and besides, a most bitter preju-
dice existed between the Mohammedans
and the Brahmin soldiers which pre-
vented their acting together. But it
was religious fanaticism that proved at
last the immediate cause of the trouble.
Early in 1857 Enfield rifles had been
substituted for the smooth-bore muskets
of the native troops. 1t was
necessary, to secure accuracy
of aim with the new gun, to use
a tightly-fitting cartridge, and this was
creased with lard that it might be more
easily rammed in. The manual of arms
required that the soldier, in loading his
piece, should bite off the end of the
cartridge with his teeth. Now, to the
Brahmin and to the Mohammedan also,
the swine is an abomination. To touch
or taste the fat of this animal is dehle-
ment and sacrilege, and to the Brahmln
is total loss of caste as well. The de-
posed Princes had tried to stir up dlsat-
lection among the people by telling
them that the native religions were to
be overthrown, the sacred institutions
of caste destroyed, and the people made
to adopt the faith of the invader. Inc
introduction of the creased cartridge
seemed to be confirmation of these
statements, and storm of mutiny broke
out. Although, as soon as the objection
to the CREASED cartridge became KNOWN
the native soldiers were allowed to pre-
pare a lubricant in which there was no
animal fat, nothing could stay the wavo
OF popular wrath. We can not tell you
how many of the Sepoys were put to
death by being blown from the mouths
of cannon. According to some historians
a large number were thus destroyed.
The excuse given by the British for
adopting this atrocious method was that
the Sepoys care little for death, but
were Mortified at the thought of mutila-
ton Chicago Intor Ocean.
