SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
Religious Teachers of the Young
People in Council.
Good Attendance and Much Enthusi-
aSm Manifested-The Com
Ing Sessions.

The first meeting of the Interdenomi-
national Sunday-school Teachers Insti-
tute was held in the Seventh street
NJ. E. Church on Saturday evening
There was good attendance and very
encouraging reports from all the schools
of the city were given by the different
superintendent and pastors. These re-
ports came from eighteen or nineteen
schools, and showed an attendance of
about 800.
DR.. j. e. Gilbert of Indianapolis fol-
lowed with an interesting address on the
subject: Correct Measure of Success"
The first question he would raise con-
corning a school would be: "How do
they enter the house of God?" If there
is no reverence, he said, the work on the
scholars has been failure. Then, do all
come promptly? If all come struggling
in at any time of the exercises, some-
thing is wrong. He would know the
percentage of attendance. If this is
low there is room for improvement. A
school should show nearly an equality of
male and female scholars, and all grades
as 10 age. Teachers should teach from
the Bible, not from lesson leaves A
high grade of teaching will force the
Bible into the hands OF every member of
a class.
Then, when only small percentage
from the Sunday school attend the church
service, something is radically wrong
with the school, or the parents who send
their children. The latter ought to love
the church. The Sunday-school should
yield her fruit every month of the year
in getting children into the church.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON MEETING G.

A large crowl of people gathered in the
Sixth-street NJ. Z. Church to hear ''The
Sunday-school Idea" discussed. The
speaker made the beginning Of the Sun
day-schOol to be, AN Earnest Effort to
Pre-empt the Children for Christ" He
showed that it antedates Christ, and did
not, begin, rs is generally supposed, with
the work Of Robert Raikes Of England.
The Jewish Custom of training the youth
would put our modern Sunday-school
teaching to shame.
Five years was taken for religious in
struction under the very best OF teachers,
five days of the week and six hours per
day Formation Of character is much
better than reformation. All the great
men of the Bible and history who nave
been real reformers were men trained up
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord"
\ high tribute was paid to Luther as
one who gave the Bible to the children.
Similar work was done by the Waldenses
and PiedmOntes. Our work, compared
with theirs, causes US 10 blush.
The Protestant Church, said the
speaker, has been enfeebled by emphasiZ-
ing too much certain doctrines, such as
repentance, conversion and Justification.
A better way is to lay the hand OF love
and power and authority on the youth
and implant Gods truth ia the heart
early, giving them the proper bent while
they may be nodded for good.
The lecture was very instructive, and
highly appreciated. All expect much
from the coming afternoons and nights,
and it is believed they will not be disap-
pointed.
This afternoon the meeting will be in
the Congregational Church, and each
afternoon following in the same place.
The meeting tonight will be in the First
Baptist Church.

A Chinese Alligator.

Two examples of the Chinese alligator
have just reached the Geological Gar
dens, says the London News. They are
the first that have ever been exhibited
there alive. The alligator is so distinct
ly an American animal that the proof,
SO recently as 1879, of the species
in China is extremely interesting.
Nevertheless, the Chinese classics con-
tain numerous references to the crea-
ture and even pictures which could be
easily recognized as being crocodile
of some sort. st is to be hoped that
the specimens at the Zoo will bear out
the notion Of the extreme longevity of
the reptile. Its name is apparently
used in certain parts of China in the
same sense as Methusaleh in this coun-
try Marco Polo wrote about this ami
NAL and recommended its gall as an ex-
cellent remedy for the bite of mad
dog and for various other complaints,
so that it seems to have been the
medieval equivalent of some of our
much advertised remedies of the pres
ent day. Curiously enough, the beast
is even now made use of in Chinese
medicine"

The Beggars of Paris.

A clever Frenchman has just been
taking the statistics of the charities OF
Paris, which are immense in volume,
and he finds that three-fourths of the
colossal sum which they represent is
absorbed by professional beggars. He
gives very amusing account Of the de-
vices which they adopt for getting this
enormous sum, and for living in idleness
upon it, and his conclusion is that the
whole system of almsgiving must be re-
formed. If something is not done soon
he thinks that the deserving poor will
be entirely crowded out by the falSirs
There are well-known mendicants in
Paris who have piled their trade until
they have become rich, and who are yet
undisturbed by the police.

SLANG AND ITS DERIvATioNs.
Facts Relating to the Origin oil Certain
Words and Phrases.

Facts Relating to the Origin oil Certain
Words and Phrases.
Within the present century (proba.
bly, good many Hebrew words have
come into English slang through the
medium of ''Yiddish," e. g., showful,
dow Hebrew, ''shaphel";) ''gonoph,"
thief Hebrew, 'gannabh," pronounced
''gonnof" by Polish Jews; Mr.. Leland
writes Incorrectly "ganef.'') The greater
part says the Anthenaeum, of the
vocabulary of slang, however, is purely
of English origin, consisting of humor-
ously-metaphorical uses of ordinary
words, the metaphor being often so
far-fetched as to be of the nature of a
riddle. Slang words of this type have
often passed into standard use; the or
binary French words for ''head,"
cheek" ''leg," for instance, represent
the vulgar Latin words for "pot," ''por-
ringer" and ''knee-cap."
Of course, a humorous metaphorical
expression may acquire a considerable
degree of proverbial currency without
thereby becoming slang. 1t passes in
to slang when the original point of the
joke is no longer distinctly remem-
bered, and the expression continues to
be used merely as an eccentric substi-
tute for the recognized term. At a
later stage sometimes the word or
phrase has become SO general that all
its grotesque associations have disap-
peared, and it becomes permanent
addition to the resources of the literary
language. A good example of these
three stages of development may be
found in the history of the word ''budg-
ct" as denoting the financial propos-
ais of the chancellor of the exchequer.
In the reign of George ii. the word was
used with conscious allusion to the cele
brated pamphlet which ridiculed Sir r.
Walpole as a conjurer, opening his
budget" or bag of tricks" After
ward it must for time, have been cur
rent as slang; but, as it supplied a want,
it was soon taken into the ordinary vo.
cabulary, and at the present time a
chancellor of the exchequer would, as a
matter of course, speak of his own
budget" without any thought of the UNI.
complimentary sense which the word
originally expressed.

Now Retire Behind Their Mothers and In
dulge in Fashionable Bushes.
This charming product of the western
world has come into great prominence
of late years in literature and in foreign
life, and has attained a notoricty fat
tering or otherwise to the national
pride. No institution has been better
known or more marked on the CONT
nent and in England, not excepting the
tramway and the Pullman ears. Her
enterprise, her daring, her freedom
from convcntionality have been the
theme of the novelists and the horror of
the dowagers having marriageable
daughters. Considered as stock" the
American girl has been quoted high,
and the alliances that she has formed
with families impecunious but noble
have given her eclat as belonging to
new and conquering race in the world.
But the American girl has not simply
slender figure and n fine eye and a
ready tongue: she is not simply an en-.
gaging and companionable person; she
has excellent common sense, tact and
adaptability. She has at length seen in
her varied European experience that it
is more profitable to have a social good
form according to local standards than
a reputation for dash and brilliancy.
Consequently the American girl of de-
cade ago has effaced herself, says
Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's.
She is no longer the dazzling, coura-
geous figure. In England, in France, in
Germany, in Italy, she takes, as one
may say, the color OF the land. She has
retired behind her mother. She who
formerly marched in 6he van of the
family procession, leading them-in-
GLIDING the painting mother-a whimsi-
cal dance, is now the timid and retiring
girl, needing the protection of u chap
eron on every occasion. The satirist
will find no more abroad the American
girl of the old type whom he continues
to describe. The knowing and fascin-
ating creature has changed her tactics
altogether. And the change has
reacted on American society. The
mother has come once more to the
front, and even if she is obliged to own
to forty-five years to the census-taker
she has again the position and the
privileges of the blooming woman of
thirty. Her daughters walk meelSly
and with downcast Gf still eXpectant
eyes, and wait for sign.

BRAzlL's NEW IMMIGRANTS.
Large Numbers Are Prosperous and Con-
tented.

Large Numbers Are Prosperous and Con-
tented.
There are satisfactory reports from
Rio de Janeiro about the condition of
the one hundred thousand Italian, Pol
ish, German and Hebrew immigrants
who have settled in Brazil within the
last two or three years. They are ex-
ceedingly well treated by the authori-
ties and the new republic, and by the
native citizens of localities in which
they may be pleased to take up their
abode. Those of them who desire land
have no difficulty in procuring it, and
those who seek employment in the
mines, or in trades, or at unskilled Ia
Dor do not need to remain idle.
Such of the immigrants as have taken
up the work of cultivating the soil, says
the Chicago Tribune, find that they can
raise many kinds of fruits and other
natural products which they never saw
in Europe; that the fertility of the soil
surpasses the reports they had heard of
it, and that the climate in many re-
gions of the republic is entirely salts
factory to them. They find also that
free public schools have been estab-
lished by the central and provisional
governments, and that system of uni
versal education will soon be adopted.
So favorable are the accounts that
the immigrants have sent back to the
countries whence they came that the
Brazilian authorities look for vast in
crease of immigration during the com
ing year, especially from Italy and
Prussian Poland. The great landlords
in the last-named country are alarmed
by the fight of thousands of their Ia
borers to Brazil, but there is no likeli-
hood of the success of their efforts to
prevent it. Italy can spare several mil
lions Of her people, who are sure to i'm
prove their condition by settlement in
Brazil.
Furthermore, it is known that the
rich Jew, Baron Hirsch, has offered to
transport half million Russian Jews
to any part of the South American con-
tinent, and the probability is that
Brazil will be the country chosen for
them. The Brazilian government is
doing all that it can do under the cir
cumstances to encourage immigration,
but it will do much more as soon as its
affairs are in perfect order, so that the
funds needed for the work can be an
propriated.
