THO LENTEN PREACHERS.

The remarkable interest shown in the noon
/ day addresses in Old Trinity by Bostons great
preacher. Phillips Brooks. is a striking tribute
"a religion as distinguished from ccclcsasticism.
It was noble opportunity for any preacher
and Dr. Brooks used it nobly. He stood FORTH
not as the advocate Of any scctarian view OF the
Christian faith, but as the bearer of few great
fundamental truths that all should recognize
and accept 1t is no cXaggcraton 70 say that
these addresses, vivid with the enthusiasm and
personality of the preacher, have made pro-
found impression on the community. They

not only willias but glad to listen to preacher
who has something vital to say to them

Emperor William has been agrceably sur
prised during the last week by the French
Governments acceptance of his invitation to
the International Labor Conference, which is
10 take place at Berlin toward the end OF the
present month. Although the German press
chooses to regard Frances response in the light
of diplomatic victory, it is, as our London
correspondent points out to-day in his cable
dispatch, nothing more than mere act of
courtesy, rendered possible by the modification
of the programme Of the Conference The
latter will content itself with merely suggest
ing remedies for the ills with which labor is
afflicted, and will not attempt either to enact
or enforce legislation on the subject.

Are the public aware that with one single
exception all the transatlantic steamship COM
panies have abandoned the Maury's Lane
Routes? According to the latter, a belt OF
ocean from sixty to two hundred miles should
be maintained between the courses of eastward
and westward bound vessels, the danger of a
collision being thereby reduced to minimum.
in a letter published to-day, our London CORE
spondent draws attention TO the desertion by
the ocean liners of their former double track
across the Atantic-a desertion due to the
mania for fast passages The companies have
gone back to what is practically the single
track, and the great iron monsters laden with
human freight approach each other from Oppo-

Mrs. GladstOne's Kindness.
HOW THE GREAT STATESMAN WIFE TRf
ED A PRETTY AMERICAN GIRL.

HOW THE GREAT sTATEsMAN's WIFE TREAT.
ED A PRETTY AMERICAN GIRL.
A pretty American girl recently called
upon Mrs. Gladstone at he. London home.
She carried q mestf.vorable letter Of intro
duction as member of a well-known
American family. Her brightness and
sparkle attracted the wife of the great Eng
lish statesman, and for an entire afternoon
and evening she lived in the Gladstone
| household. She confessed to Mrs. Glad
writing an article on the home life of her
hostess for an American magazine.
'But, my DEAR" said Mrs. Gladstone,
"your people are interested in Mr.. Glad.
stone; they do not know me-"
"That is Just why l came" rerlied the
girl, sin order that Americans may learn a
little more of you."
At the tea-table, Mr.. Gladstone ioined
with his wife in entertaining the American
girl, and few were ever given better op-
portunity ofsseeiDg the Gladstone home
life.
The quiet part which Mrs. Gladstone has
played in the career of her famous husband
is known to only few. While thousands
of articles have been written of Mr.. Glad
stone. none of an authoritative character
have been printed of his wife. Even her
portrait is seldom seen in the English
shops; rarely in the prints. She has always
felt that pnblic interest in her own country
and across the sea was conferred in her hus.
band, and in order that his greatness might
stand out more strikingly, she has each
year further retired from public view. A
freshness will, therefore, attach itself to the
story ga Day with Mrs. Gladstone" as it
will be told by her bright young visitor in
The Ladies' Home Journa., of Philadelphia
during the coming year. This article will
be one Of the series of siUnknown Wives of
Well-known Men," which this excellent
magazine will contain during 1891.

A NOBLE RIVAL,
GOOD FOR EVIL,

1t was fortunate, and yet unfortunate,
that Henry Walton was shipped on the
surveying brig Ixiop, with Capt. William
Henderson. 1t is true that he held q
higher position than ever before-that of
second lieutenant-but he knew the Cap
tain would try and do him an injury, be-
cause they were both in love with the
surgeons daughter, Bella Warren.
The fact that she favored the young
lieutenant added fuel to the captains hate,
and when they entered the Arctic sea he
took the first opportunity of quarreling
with Walton, and had him transferred to
the little tender, the Seabird.
Here Henry tuned and fretted the time
away, angered at the thought that his
rival would now have free field to pursue
Miss Warren with his attentions. In fe "
days he heard that the marriage of the
captain and the surgeoa's daughter was an
nounced. The pressure brought to bear
upon the young girl had worn her out and
she had reluctantly given her consent.
A few days after this news was current
the Seabird came near enough to the Ixion
to observe everybody on the deck. Walton
could see the Captain and Bella in the
bows. Love was not the subject OF any
ones thoughts at that moment, for the
Ixion was passing through dangerous
waters, hemmed in by ice-bergs.
For an instant there was death.like
silence-every lip was mpressed-every
eye strained on the watch
s'There. she goes-she is safe !' cried
the captain of the tender, as first the bows
and then the waist of the Ixion emerged
from the dangerous channel-''a second
more and she will be clear. Hah she is

beres were hurled toward the counter
