EMPEKOR WORsHIP.

Smalley's special cablegram from London
says that L" England is about to witness an
outEurst Of Emperor worship On a very
great scale" Other dispatches say that the
Emperor William ard the Prince of Wales
have met and exchanged cordial salutations.
he Emperor comes at good time. The
baccarat scandal threw something OF cloud
over the Prince, which might have pene-
trated to the common British mind if some
thing had not been done to show that Kings
can really do no wrong. 1t will be noted
that while the Emperor extends the right
hand of fellowship to the Prince he has in
tlnated, according to report, that he does
not wish Lady Brooke to be present at any
entertainment that may be given in his
honor. This is little hard on the Prince,
who has been accustomed to require invita-
tons TO be sent TO the lady from country
seats which he proposed to honor with his
presence. The British public do not care
apparently who is sacrificed so that their
Prince is not, but if the Emperor has really
objected to the presence Of Lady Brooke he
not only rebukes the Prince, but establishes
social law in the especial realm of the

A DUEL WITH PISTOLS.

When a dispatch comes that there is no
truth in the report that an American girl re-
siding il Paris has challenged a French
, Baron 10 duel with pistols. the American
public will not be disappointed. While there
is DO more law TO prevent a woman from
challenging man to fight a duel than there
is against challenges from one man to
another, it will not be easy to make the
public believe that the woman really ex-
rected her challenge 10 be accepted. IT. as
is reported, the woman in the case is a good
slot, the challenged party would have coed
excuse for declining, in TIE fact that the
Challenger was a woman. The woman would
thus be exposed to the insinuation that she
had sent challenge, knowing that it would
be declined. With every desire 10 champion
cur fair countrywomen in all they may do
abroad, American men are getting tired of
the energy which so many women show in
the pursuit Of foreign titles. If American
girls were selected for their personal charms
and mental and moral qualities, American
men would feel complimented by the favor
shown their countrywGmen. But in almost
all cases of this kind the American girl is
rich. Her poererS i>t RS are allowed to re-
turn TO the United States and marry whom
they can. But the rich ones are picked up
with an avidity as diShonoring to tile owner
OF the title as 10 the girl selected TO wear it.
1t Is not at all probable either that
American girls can command the respect
whit Ii is their due at the point of The pistol.

MOTHER AND SON.

aration of Thirty-five Years.
strange and romantic story of reunion
OF mother and son comes from Cerulean
Springs, little town sixteen miles east of
here, says Princeton (ky.) dispatch to the
New Orleans New Delta.
The facts as given to your correspondent
by Professor B. F. Thorn. the son in ques-
ton. are as follows: Major r. t. Thorn,
native of Virginia, was an officer in the
Mexican war under General Scott, and
fought with him during the entire CAM
paign. While chartered in the City of
Mexico, at the cessation of hostilities, he
met and fell in love with Mexican beauty
named Basillza Marie Valdez. member
Of Of a wealthy family. They were married
and came at once to the United States,
and Major Thorn settled in Montgom
cry, Ala. Four children were born of
this nnion-three girls and one boy. The
quent quarrels marring the domestic rea-
tons of the husband and wife. This finally
eliminated in their separation in 1856 the
mother taking the two eldest girls and the
father keeping the two youngest children--a
boy and girl. The hey and his sister were
taken to Fredericksburg, Va, while the
mother returned to Mexico and afterward
to Spain with the two eldest daughters. The
separation of the mother and the son seems
to have been complete after this, although
she begg ID piteously that he might accom-
pany her. BE seemed to have been her
pride and fav0rite and her heart never
ceased to yearn for him. The father was
obdurste, though. and placed the boy with
relatives in Virginia.
The two daughters died in Spain, and
hearing of the death of her husband from
wounds received during the late civil war,
the mo Their returned to Mexico, and the
long search began. Being unacquainted
with the geography and language of the
United States, her progress was necessarily
slow. But through the diplomatic corps OF
this country and MeXicn she finally learned
of his having lived i'll Fredericksburg, Va.
Through the United States Consul at the
City OF Mexico she wrote to the Postmaster
at Frederick burg and the letter was for
warded to Professor Thorn at Cerulean
Springs, KY, when he Immediately tele-
graphed to his mother. A Geographic cor
respopdence followed. which led to his
mother coming to Cerllean Springs. Thus,
after thirty-fye years Of absence and eight
cen years of weary and unabated search,
she once mere beheld her boy. She is now
comfortably quartered in his home and ex-
poets TO spend the balance of her days in
kentucky.

IS JUSTICE = FAILUREe

a New York journal asks this question
and proceeds 10 show that there is so little
justice i'll that city that the administration
Il il, at least, seems TO be failure. JUS
tice cannot, of course, be failure, but
8 there are frequent failures to procure JUS
tce. We have the same cause of complaint
in this city. Tie courts do not serve the
Purpose for which they were created. We
are not speaking Of perfect administration,
bu of . decent one. The laws against
crime are perhaps as effective as laws can
BE- made. But laws DO not execute them
selves, and The persons charged with their
execution are often on the ether side of a
case. As the laws are now administered
there are so many chances of escape that
the fear Of punishment has but little influ-
ence over persons contemplating the COM
mission Of q crime. In This city we have
cause 10 regard our administration of JUS
tice is exceptionally bad. We point to the
frequency Of murders and the infTequency
Of executions. We find men walking the
streets on bail whose guilt or innocence
ought 10 have been established years ago.
We can easily produce men who have been
tried and retired and are apparently as far
from final determination of their cases as
when first iucaTcerated. But we are not
sure after all that San Francisco Is excep-
tional in this respect. The New York jour
nal who wants to know if justice is a fail
uTe in that city gives some startling in
stances which 90 to show that justice is

Old Father Taylor's Estimate of the Con-
dition Of Religion.
The following story is told of old Father
Taylor: He once went from q certain
town noted for its apathy in religious mat
ters to a conference meeting, where his
brethren in the ministry were comparing
notes as to the condition of church work in
each ONES locality. Presently some one
asked Father Taylor how the religious in
terest WAS in -. Oh" replied that gen.
tleman. religion is looking up in -"
This occasioned much surprise, as such a
declaration seemed directly contrary to the
common report. How is that?" he was
asked. - Is there any general awakening
of the churches ?' mo" ANY special
interest on the part of those outside of the
churches? >" No." Well, then, how do
you explain your remark that religion is
looking up in -" s. Whv," said Father
Taylor, dryly, " religion is fiat on its back
