Every Alliance man who opposes

is denounced by the bosses of the

if not positive assertions, are made,
that all such members are the hired

robbers. 1t has come to a pretty pas;
that free American citizen cannot
be permitted to think for himself and

Universal suffrage was tried for the
frst time in Spain on December 9TH, the
occasion being the election of the Pro
vincial Councils General. The result, ac-
cording to u telegram in the Times Of Tues
day, has been a great surprise, The Gov
rrnment, it is admitted Oh all sides, have
ahstAined from interference, but in ~
provinces out of 40, the Conservatives
have "a majority, and they have carried
2l2 candidates against SO. This is be-
lirved to presage q complete victory in
the elections to the CorteS, and would
seem to show that the body of the pop
nlation is entirely favourable to the Mon
archy. This has been suspected for many
sears, and, shortly after Prim'S coup d'9tat,
was stated in the Chamber by Sefor Ava
Ia, then Minister for the Colonies. He
admitted, though himself in alliance with
Marshal Prim, that a plebiscite would at
once rave reseated Queen Isabella. The

The dispute with the Portuguese in regard
to the delimitation of their and our spheres Of
Influence in South East Africa still continues.
On Monday, the Times published a telegram
from their Zanzibar correspondent, stating
that news had been received from Quilimane
that, in consequence Of the Manica incident, q
furious mob attacked the British Consulate at
that place on Wednesday, December 9th. The
authorities, however, acted vigorously, and at
once arrested the ring-leaders. Meantime, it
is announced that fresh troops are being sent
out from Lisbon, with the intention of re-
asserting the Portuguese claim to Manioa. In
view Of so threatening a condition Of affairs,
it is a subject OF congratulation that Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes, the Cape Premier, leaves Africa on
Christmas Eve, in order to confer personally
with Lord Sail sburry. He will view the stu
alton in its true perspective in London, and
he will also be of use to the Government
should the rumour prove we'll founded that the
Portuguese are going to lease the provinces Of
Manica, Sofala, Tete, and Quilimane for ninety
nine years to a German company. The Portu-
gGese think, no doubt, that we should be an
noyed at having the Germans in possession
of the mouths Of the Zambesi; but there
would be certain advantages in such an arrange
ment. They could not interfere with our
fright Of navigation, and to have an efficient in
9 stead OK an inefficient porter at the gate of
Africa would be an immense blessing to our
traders
On Thursday, there was a stormy debate in
the French Chamber in regard to the dismissal
Of the Sisters Of Mercy from the Paris hospi-
tails. DR.. Armand Despres alleged that the
act was neither legal nor demanded by public
opinion; that women who showed real devo-
tiou to. the patients had been generally re-
placed hy servants who could not get places -
and that the nurses now cost 70Ofr. instead OF
200fr, q change involving a total extra ex-
ponditure of 100000. NJ. Constans, in reply,
declared that the Municipal. Council were
within their rights in secularising the hospi-
tails; that every patient was entitled to see a
priest; that "an educated and devoted body Of
Attendants had heen formed, who perfectly
performed their duties; and that the lay in.

A Standing Army In Vermont.
Rutland Herald:
What does this talk about a militia
~ post in Vermont mean q? 1t is re-
ported that squad Of cavalry is to
be located up at Essex Junction or
somewhere around there, with the
idea that when the enemy comes down
from Canada he will be promptly
driven back with tremendous slaugh-
ter.
If cavalry are to be stationed in
Vermont they should certainly 90 to
Essex Junction, for nowhere else in
the State can so many men he found
really thirsty for gore as there where
struggling with the wrong train is
ever in progress, but there is no oc-
casion for anything of the sort. 1t
is suggested that the scheme comes
IRON recollection OF the st. Adams
raid. 1t might just as well come
from the burning of Royalton, rs
years earlier. Upon neither occasion
could the cavalry have done any pos
sible service, and upon both Yer
monters themselves did all that could
be done. The most dangerous thing
now likely to come from Canada is
one of its citizens with desire to
"swap de hoss." Vermonters can
probably get along with them, how
ever, and might get out a shot gun
or two if any larger game appeared.
Anyhow Vermont can get along for
the present without having to watch
any of Uncle Sans warriors.

A discussion relative to the choice of a
profession has been carried on of late in
the columns of the London newspapers.
One OF the towns big weeklies suggests
that two of the most important ''profes-
slons' have been overlooked-those of
Jockey and ''strong man"-and goes on
to say that leases now exist where a
jockey received a salary equal to that of
a secretary of state and jockeys even of
the second rank receive payments which
place them in a position, from tinan-
cial point of view, considerably ahead of
the bulk of their employers. Besides
these salaries Tor retainers, as they are
called the jockeys receive the author
ized and regular riding fees, and it is no
exaggeration to say that at the present
moment at least half dozen of them are
earning, i'll connection with their riding.
IN shape of retainers, riding fees and
presents, $4,000 a year apiece, and
in one or two cases even more. With
reference to the earnings of strongmen,'
Sandow is reported to have said, in con.
nection with contest in which he took
part. that by his defeat he lost more than
$4,000, the savings of only two years"

The Methodist church, through its
general conference, held in New York
three years ago. resolved to settle the
question whether or no women should
be allowed as lay delegates to the
general conference, by vote of the
churches. This vote was recently
taken and resulted in a complete tri-
umph for the women.
That's all right.
Now they want to take one more
vote to see whether the women shall
be allowed to walk the golden pave
ments and sit on the shady side of the
throne or keep close to the kitchen
with the liberty only of the back
alleys, when they get to Heaven.

THE TWO ANGELS.

| dreamed of a wonderful contest
And man was the prize TO win;
The conflict was wagcd by angels twain
But the spirits were not akin.
The one was clad in robe of light,
And came from the land of pure delight,
With cruclblc in his hand
The robe of the other was a hy white,
But he came from the world of endless
night,
Yet glitterlng toys aud baubes bright
He scattered over the land.
! dreamed that these angels whispered
In the listening ears Of man;
The tones of the one were sweet and clear
And his message thus began
20 friend, | came from the world above,
TO guide thee up to that world of love,
Where joys supreme are given.
But ere thou ent'rest those regions fair
| must cleanse thy heart with tenderest
care,
BY trials and crosses, and thus prepare
Thy soul for the life of heaven"
dreamed that the voice of the other
Was silvery, smooth and fair
As he spake of life's gladstone pleasures,
The wine cups happiness rare;
lie told of the comforts of worldly gain,
The great and the wise who followed his
train
All happy in his employ.
And he urged the soul in accents clear
TO seize at once on these pleasures dear,
And never be moved by sordid fear
OF losing its future Joy
| dreamed, as these angels whispered
Their messages in his ear,
His countenance now was flushed with
hope
And then depressed with fear;
so dreading to hear the voice of either,
Yet wishing to shun the course of neither,
He fed in wild alright
But by his side these angels twain
Each hoping at last the pure to gain,
Closely pursuing, still urged their claim
Till all were out of sight
dreamed, but my dream was real,
Angels of good and of i'll
Follow us closely year by year
Their ministries to fulfill.
0 friend, the angel of good receive;
Let not the angel of ill deceive
Though gentle his words be, even
A prize for the race successfully run,
Sweeter the rest when labor is done;
brighter the crown through suffering
worm"
Dearer the bliss of heaven
