THE MILITARY SITUATION.


 The recent action of Governor Bulkeley has raised a very pretty row. The air is full of talk about his brutality" the illegality of his action, an appeal to the courts, to the legislature, etc., etc. The discharged do not intend to calmly submit to the disgrace that has been showered upon them. Good law yers have been consulted who say that they will not have to. On the other hand, though the governor says nothing, it Is altogether probable that he also has the support of good lawyers in the position he has taken, and that he will be able to hold up his end of the contest
 The difference of opinion in the national guard of the State concerning the governors oourse is very noticeable. It might naturally bs supposed that its members would general ly sympathize with the discharged ones. But many of them warmly support the gov srnor and think that he has done just night. The general public, we beiisvs, tfiiak Tssss.aa too much has been made ont of the matter, and that little tact on both sidsA at first would have prevented the very dissereeable outcome. If the controversy is kept up aa 1t now promises to be, 1t will be an interest. ing one, and if the military gentlemen are as good fighters as the governor, it may at times become exciting. Probably in the end substantial justice will be done by either the courts or the legislature, or both.

The Life of a Stoker. IFrom the Ponular Science Monthly


 The stokers on one of the great ocean steamers work four hours at a stretch in a temperature ranging from 120 degrees to 160 degrees. The quarters are close, and they must take care that, while feeding one fur- mace, their arms are not burned on the one behind them. Ventilation is furnished through 8 shaft reaching down to the mid de of their quarters. Each stoker tends four furnaces, spending perhaps two or three minutes at each; then dashes 10 the air pipe to take his turn at cooling off, and waits for another call to his furnaces. When the-watch is over the men go per- spring through long, cold passages 10 the forecastle, where they turn in for eight hours. One man, 2S years old, who was in- terviewed by reporter, had been employed at the furnaces since he was IA years old. He weighed 1S0 pounds. and was ruady and seemingly happy. He confessed that tho work was terribly hard, but it came hardest on those who did not follow it regu- lsrly.
 "But if we get plenty 10 eat," he said,
 'and take care of ourselves, we are right. Here's mate of mine nearly 70 years old, who has been stoker all his life and can do as good work as I can. Stokers never have the consumption, and rarely catch cold. Their grog has been knocked off on the Eng lish and American lines because the men got | drunk too often and the grog did them much harm. When used to take my grog I'd work just like lion while the effect lasted. I'd throw in my coal just like g giant and not mind the h at bis, but when it worked off, ss it did in very few min utes, was that weak that 8 child could up- set me. Take e man dead drunk before the fires and the heat would sober him off or give him stroke of apoplexy."

FACT AND THEORY,

There is a comfortable theory held by men who have been favored by fortune snd who can sit around and tell how hard they ueed to work. They say and believe that any man can find work If he really wants to, and they are ready to ascribe mans poverty to his shiftlessness. This may be fair theory for general application, but it is perhaps not al- together sound. There is one man who has lately been led to think 1t is not. He is Rev. O. M. Sheldon, Congregational min ister of Topeka, Kansas. He put on rough clothing and started out to ascertain how difficult 1t might be to make a living by hard manual labor. He applied at cool yards, railroad yards, -four mills, feed stores and other places, and the only work he found to do wac an hours shoveling of coal. He says that he found the laborers with whom he worked uniformly kind, and one offered to get him supper and lodging at his boarding place If he failed to find employ. ment. Says Mir. Sheldon further: tried my best for several hours but without avail. my supper had actually depended upon my success. I had to confess that I, an able- bodied man, in good health, willing to dc anything that a man can do with his hands, l actually could not get any paying job after walking matter of ten miles and applying at over dozen places where day laborers are hired. could not altogether get rid of the thought that 1t was a very hard world, and
 everybody seemed to have 8 job in it bat my
 self.
 This is indeed very hard world for man,
 who are really willing to work. And thu
 saddest part of it Is that it is not likely to b.
 much easier unless the theories of the Ma
 tionalists and others who are working in tn
 same line can be realized.

WHERE THE GRIP CAME FROM
 l.. Ia xi

WHERE THE GRIP CAME FROM.
 It is well enough to know where this "Grip'' came from. A man who writes to the London Times has found out. He says 1t is due to the overflow of the Yellow river in China. It win be remembered that this great river broke through it's barriers year or so ago, and flooded vast tract of coun. try. destroying not only an immense amount of property, but also the lives, according to more or less indefinite report, of hundreds of thousands ot persons. It Is stated that, when the water subsided, the land was cov- cred with the yellow mud from which the river derives it's name, and this dried into . dust of 50 sickening character that 1t led to e local epidemic of the type of influenza, the germs of which could have been readily car- rled, either by air currents or the slower process of transportation of merchandise or persons, all over the world. In support of this theory, the statement is made that pre- vious epidemics of influenza have closely fol- lowed great floods in northern Asia, so that they may be traced one from the other in the line of cause and effect.
 This is good enough theory until the next one is launched. If the disease will only go back to the Yellow river and drown itself all will be forgiven.

Literary Note.

Professor w. 0. Kitchin, Ph. D., of Cam bridge, has written picturesque and vivid historical novel entitled 'tThe Fall of the Christians" which is running in tne New York Ledger. The religious and the his- torical elements are dominant in the work, and in narrating the overthrow of Christiani- ty in Japan in the seventeenth century the author has entered field fresh in English literature. "The Fall of the Christians" is written by scholar who has made a special ty of Japanese history, and is based on man. uacripts which were discovered by the au- thor while he was occupying distinguished scholastic position in Japan.
 In the opening chapters of this story the terrific struggle between the Christians and their implacable foes, the Japanese pagans, in the distant and unfamiliar day when England, Holland and Portugal competed for supremacy in commerce with Japan, is described with clearness, power aud pic turesque skill. In fact, the author has made the most of a fresh theme and 8 fresh set tiiiH

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is estimated on good authority that the annual sale of Louisiana lottery tickets in Boston alone amounts to between $1 ,500, 900 and $s,000,00o. People like to be swindled.
 An effort is to be made in the Nassachu- sstts legislature to enact more reasonable and intelligent libel law, which shall not presume malice in any statement of news which proves not to be correct, but which was received in good faith and of which 8 retraction was made as soon as the facts were known.
 It is inconvenient to be creditor in Non- treal. A Montreal man has been condemned to pay the sum of $1 damages for having called upon a person in factory with view to collecting debt. The court held that the domicile of the debtor is the proper place at which to demand money that is owing. It further declared. that to ask on tue street for money that is due constitutes an assault. At the meeting of the New England Me- teorological society at Boston the other day several physicians related the effects of the varied phases of New England climate with relation to health and disease, and the gen.
 eral opinion was that the frequent changes
 of weather we enjoy are not especially prsj-
 judicial to health. There isn't much that would be preiudicial to such health as New
 Englanders are enjoying these days.

The exports have not been equaled in the last sixteen years, and have only been exceeded by the figures of 1872 and 1873, when the demand succeeding the Franco-Prussisn war was 90 abnormally heavy, and prices went to un- heard of figures.
 We hear great deal nowadays about the unproftableness of farming, and much of 1t Is true, but there are farmers who can draw money out of the ground. In Chatham county, near Savannah, Georgia, Major G. M. Ryals has farm of 125 acres which paid him profit of $s7, ,00O last year. Hard work, plenty of fertilizers, undettraining, scientific culture and sharp eye upon the demands of the northern market, are the chief clements of Major Ryals' success.
 The people of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, think of reviving reformatory device which was in use in that section of the country some forty years ago. It was a'oalled "the sobering machine" It was simple and Inexpensive affair, yet it inflicted Q salutary punishment upon the evi1-dosrs. It was con- structed by taking the front wheels of a farmers wagon and mailing a large, rough box on the axle. It was without springs, and ride in it was not soon forgotten by the occupant Whenever drunken man appeared on the street some of the citizens got out the sobering wagon, and throw ing him into the box ran him mile or two out of the town. The trip, which was rough and exciting, always sobered of the recipient of this attention, and thereafter he regarded the article with wholesome fear.
 The prohibition of the use of the German language in the courts of the Baltic provinces by the Russian government has created a great confusion of tongues. The majority of the population on the Russian side of the Baltic knows little or no Russian at all, and the scenes in the courts, where the peasants seeking justice and the lawyers pleading their clients cases are unable to communi- cate their grievances to the learned judge who knows no German, are anything but pleasing to those concerned. One barrister, on being required to sign an oath, demanded that he be allowed to study the document with the aid of dictionary before he put his name to it. This request, however, was denied as ''unseemly and impudent." The judges themselves are in an awkward plight, being ordered to go to the Baltic provinces from their posts in other parts of Russia, sometimes at only moments notice, and there seems to be as complete state of chaos as is possible.

DEATH IN THE RISING TIDE
The Perils of a Castaway FishermaI on . Rock Near the Golden Gate.

The Perils of Castaway Fisherman
 on . Rock Near the Golden Gate.
 From the San Francisco Chroncle.l
 The half. man, who was waving his hands wildly and shouting for help at the top of his voice, stood upon the top of the outer Bonita rock, near the Marin 8 hore of the Golden Gate last night amid the driv- ing rain and flying spray. He was seen by the crew of the tug Monarch about 8 o'clock. while. that craft was on her way out to sea in search of the disabled steamer State of Cali fornis. His cries for help were needed by the men on the Monarch and answered in cheering tones, but while the reply gave hope to the cassaway, he must have been sadly disappointed when told that no im- mediate effort could be made to rescue him. The tugs captain knew that he could not ap- proach near enough to the rock to reach the man with life line without subj jecting his craft to extreme peril, and he also knew that to send out small boat would be useless, as it could not live five minutes in the raging sea that prevailed at the time.
 Shouting to the endangered man that he would send assistance as soon as possible, the captain ordered the return of the tug soon afterward, he notified the Merchants' Exchange of the occurrence by telephone. It was a case where time was of the utmost value, ss the tide was rising, and at high tide at Il o'clock the sea would cover the rock, and there would be' no chance of sav- ing the mans life While the official life- savers were demonstrating in the usual sys- tematic manner the utter inability of the station on the ocean beach, the tug Sea Queen has,ened to Point Bonita and took off | the half frozen castawsy. Two hardy boat l men rowed under the lea of the rock to l which he had clung for six hours, and, cast 1 ing him g line, saved him from what seemed l inevitable death. Benumbed as he was by the cold spray dashiug ceaselessly over his l half naked body, he made desperate strug- gle for life, and as soon as the line fell with | in his grasp he seized it and dived into the seething breakers. He was speedily pulled aboard, and the proper restoratives having been applied, was able to give his name and tell how he had got into such periious po- | sition.
 On Friday afternoon, it appears, Nicholas
 and four companions, composing the crew of l the fishing boat Samson, owned and sailed 1 by Michael George, Russian, and which
 had left Vallejo street on Tuesday, were re.
 turning to the city. Shortly tbefore
 o'clock, when the fishing boat was off Point Bonita, she was struck by squall, and the long boom of the lateen sail fouliDg in one
 of the stays, she cspsized before any of the
 crew could free her.
 Antonia Nicholas, the rescued fisherman,
 and Michael George, strong young men and d powerful swimmers, kept themselves af1oat
 on the tumu1tuous sea, but the others J Mike Hycotre, Anastas Crecomie, and Nicho'
 las Ketchias-were drowned in few mo ments. The two swimmers, having divestee

The Bells of Notre Dame,

A@SAAc ASesAAASs What though the radiant thoroughfare Teens with noisy throng? What though men bandy everywhere The ribald jest and songr Over the din of oaths and cries Broedeth a wondrous calm, And mid that solemn stiffness rise The bells of Notre Dame. "Heed not, dear Lord. .'' they seem to say, "Thy weak and erring child; And thou. o gentle mother, pray That God be reconciled; And on mankind, O Christ our King, Pour out Thy precious balm" 'Tis thus they plead and thus they sing Those bells of Notre Dame. And 50, methinks, God. bending down To ken the things of earth, Heeds not the mockery of the town Or cries of ribald mirth; Forever soundeth in His ears A penitential psalm 'Tis thy angelic voice He hears, o bells of Notre Dame!

 Benign Divinity; And that thy tuneful grace may fall Like dew, Quickening balm Upon the arid hearts of all o bells of Notre Dame.
