A Little Bird Tells.

It's strange how little boys mothers
Can find out all as they do.
If a fellow does anything naughty
Or says anything that's not true!
They'll look n You just for a moment.
Till your heart in your bosom sweils,
And then they know all abou. it
For little bird tells!
Now. where the bird comes from,
Or where the little bird goes.
II he's covered with beautiful plumage,
Or black as the king of crows.
If his voice is as hoarse as a ravens
Or clear as the ringing bells,
know not; but this am sure Of
A little bird tells!
The moment you think a thing wicked,
The moment you do thing bad.
Or angry. or sullen, or hateful,
Get ugly, OF stupid, or mad;
Or tease q dear brother or sister
That instant your sentence he kEells.
And the whole TO mamma in minute
That little bird tells!
You may be in the depths of the closet,
Where nobody sees mouse;
You may be all alone in a cellar,
You may be on the top of house:
You may be in the dark and the silence.
Or out in the woods and the delIs-
No matter! Wherever it happens,
The little bird tells!
And the only continuance to stop him
Is just to be sure what to say
Sure of your facts and your fancies.
Sure Of your work and your play;
Be honest. be brave, and be kindly,
Be gentle and loving as well.
And then you can laugh at the stories
The little birds tell

a rumor comes from the North to the
effect that the Burlington is not satisfied
with the time made by its fast train, the
ELI between Missouri river termini and
Chicago, which is now only fourteen hours,
but is preparing to shorten the time To thir-
teen and if possible to twelve hours. To
this end heavy engines are being prepared
for the run, which viii be limited, only six
coaches being pulled, instead Of from four
to ten as at present. The Eli is now the
fastest train west of the Missouri river, and
none OF the Burlingtons competitors can
lower its record, though they have earnestly
striven TO do SO. 1t may yet be possible,
with a shortening of the time on the Katy,
for Fort Worth people to reach Chicago in
a thirty hours run.

Diphtheris from BARNARD Fowls.

DR.. Turner states that an epidemic of
diphtheria broke out in the village Of
BRANCHING. Hertfordshire. England, the
first cases occurring on q farm where the
fowls were dying of a disease of the throat,
and on other farms where the children had
diphtheria Il similar malady of the fowls
prevailed. At Longham a man bought a
chicken at a low price, as it was sick with
the prevailing disease, and cared for it at
home. His children soon sickened with
diphtheria, which extended from his fam
lily through the village. DR.. Turner men
tions similar instances showing that the
feathered tribe, the common barnyard
fowl, turkeys, pigeons and in one locality
pheasants, died of disease attended by a
pseudo-membranous emulation which was
probably diphtheritic.-Dr.J j. Lewis Smith

pected to compose a verse of poetry

IN DRFENSE OF ESHER.

A Chicago Correspondent Takes Ex-
eeptiens % the Opinion TINT has
Gone Out ON the strength Of Judge
Plsasants' Church Case Dteision.
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean signing himself William Richie,
has written to that paper a commune
| cation concerning the ruling OF Judge
Peasants, in the noted Evangelical church
case and bolding the erroneous impress
sions, have been created on the strength
of it, as to Bishop Esher. The cores
pendent says:
In your issue of Saturday, Jan. "a. is
contained a special telegram from Rock
Island which, inadvertently no doubt on
the part of your correspondent, does
Bishop Esther great injustice. The tele.
gram alluded to says the bishop had been
deposed for immoral conduct" ETC. This
is mistake. The bishop never was
charged with Immoral conduct" and
even his enemies have not dared to so
charge him. His well>known upright
career and fifty years long service to his
church, the last twenty-eight of which he
has been one Of its bishops, and lie still
so recognized by the vast msjoritY in it
ought to be sufficient protection against
publications impugning to him Immoral
conduct"
The decision rendered at Rock Island
was not based upon the question whether
The bishop was or was not lawfully sus
pended. but entirely upon the fact that,
IN the courts opinion, the Illinois con-
ference had. necessarily, to pass upon the
effect of the Judgment purporting to sus-
pend Bishop Esher. that the M j0rity of
that conference having decided he had
been duly suspended, the civil courts
could not inquire into the legality or lille
gality of the actual proceedings had
against the bishop by the trial court at
Reading. In this regard the judge seems
to have gone to the extreme limit of the
decision in Chase vs.. Cheney, 5Sth H.,
1873. The judge decided, it may be
added. that in all such conferences as
had accepted Bishop Esther, he is still
lawful bishop. AS a matter of fact ire
ferred to by the Judge in his opinion) "a
large majority OF the annual conferences of
the association, and divers boards. cons
mittees, and high executive officers Of The
association, have formally declared or
otherwise treated the judgment (of the
trial courD as void" The Judge further
expressly holds that the action of the
Illinois conference in the matter is bind
ing on no one, except to the exit Mt that
the pastors assigned by the conference at
the Sheffield Avenue church must, in his
opinion, be considered lawfully appointed.
In all other conferences (Which recognize
the bishop as still lawfully in office). the
judge held that Bishop Eshers appoin-
tees are the lawfel pastors. Judge Cart
wright few months ago decided just the
reverse OF Judge Peasants. namely. that
the Illinois conference, presided over by
Bishop Esher, was the only lawful con-
ference.

The EARLY CLOSING.

Ii Mny Fail Through the Opposition
Will Tell.
The friends Of the early closing move-
ment have had great deal to discourage
them of late Notwithstanding the fact
that most of our business men joined
heartily in the movement, not only on
Jan /. to close at $50 p. N, BIT when
the matter was first agitated six weeks
sgo, there have been one or two who
strenuously opposed the movement from
the first. Their influence was not felt
at first. but it looks today as if. unless
some of the merchants take decided
stand on the side of reform, as if the
minority would conquer the majority on
this question of early closing.
A clerk who has taken an important
and influential part in the movement
said this afternoon: There have been
few of our bu siness men who opposed US
in this movement for some time. They
manifested this first by keeping their
stores open and then by attempting to
influence others, and in one case in par
ticular, a Second avenue business man
who has stood by US right along was in
duced to open last evening. Others now
threaten TO follow suit, but know of
Many who will not. l hope that
those who are in sympathy
with labor reform will not
desert us until they are sure that
the early closing is to prove q
failure. If our m rchants will keep
closed to might. believe we will yet win,
bus if they listen to the entreaties of the
minority instead of the appeals of the
over worked clerks, we may loose. In
behalf of the clerks let the appeal be to
the merchants Of Rock Island, to stand
firmly by those who stand by them. We
will have meeting tonight to take some
action on the matter"
