Children of Nazareth.

As the traveller enters Nazareth from the
South his attention is attracted TO a large.
beautiful building standing halfway up the
hill TO the left. overlooking the village and
approached from the narrow street below by
a broad. imposing staircase of stone. This
is the orphanage. supported by the London
Society for Promoting Female Education in
the East. Here are gathered the poor and
outcast from all the country round and
their childish voices are trained to sing the
praises Of him who passed his sinless child
hood in these very ssreets. To the southeast.
facing the building, rises the round,
dome-lke hill Of Tabor TO the right is
the fertile plain of Esdraelon. surrounded
by the low-lying hills of Gilboa and the
mountains of Samara. Far to the west
stretches the long line OF the Mediterranean,
with Carmel's peak breaking in upon IT. while
far TO the north Mt. Hermon rises IN majestic
solitude, with graceful outlines between 1t
is with Il thrill of emotion that one looks upon
this panorama, feeling certain that our Lord
Himself must often have rested His tired
brain and nerves by gazing upon its beauties.
How does His heart now rejoice as He sees the
tender care bestowed upon these poor chill
dren for His sake, and how lovingly he says
to these devoted women "lnasmuch as We
have done it unto one Of the least of these ye
have done it unto Me. Mrs. II. II. Jessup.

Washineton's Death.

Mr.. George Ticknor. who wrote The
Hilary of Spanish Literature" and The Life
OF Prescott" remembered distinctly the
death Of Washington. He SAYS in his diary
There never was a more striking or spOn-
taneous tribute paid to man than was paid in
Boston when the news came OF Washington
death. It was on December H. 1893, little
before noon. and Mr.. Ticknor says l often
heard persons say at the time that one could
know how far the news had spread by the
closing Of the shops Each man. when he
heard that Washington was dead, shut his
door, rs a matter Of course, without consulta-
ton, aud III two hours all business was
stopped
"hi- father came home and could not speak

to see him in such a state, till he recovered

COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL.

The troubles in the management of
the law school of Columbia college have
finally eliminated in the retirement of
the old staff of professors in body and
the elevation of three men not pre-
viouSly connected with the institution
to their places. For quarter of a cen
fury Columbia law school has been the
most prominent and successful place of
its kind in the country, and, for that
matter, in the world. A very large ma
Jority of the better educated lawyers of
the younger generation appear OH its
roll of graduates, and its influence for
good or evil on the history of the coun-
try is bound to be very great and i'm
portant. For great many years nearly
halfof each graduating class at Yale, land
a considerable part of each graduating
class at Harvard have transferred them
selves to Columbia for the prosecution
of their legal studies. The situation of
the Institution in New York city has
made it especially attractive for pro-
fessiOnal school. The experiences of
life in great city have been greatly
enjoyed by young men just from col
the metropolis, where the voices of the
country's greatest jurists can be daily
heard, afford the rarest of educational
opportunities to the student Of law.
Over and above all these things, how
ever, as an attractive force, has been
the connection of THEODORE ID.
DWIGHT with Columbia as Its senior
professor in his department. He per-
sonaIly founded the law school in its
modern shape, and it was his extra
ordinary ability and skill as teacher
which built it up to its present great
ness. There are very few men who
ever sat under his tuition who will not
freely accord him the first place in the
list of their instructors. A great many
lawyers have been more profound,
but it would be exceeding diff
cult to name man in the teach
ing craft who combined such charm
of manner, clearneSS of expression and
fruitfulnesS of resource as has he. His
permanent retirement means a great
change at Columbia and to the country
at large, so many of whose lawyers
there learn the rudimentS of their pro-
fesslon. Of the new professors all are
very young men, who come to their
positions with testimonials of good work
done in other places. st. Paul will be
interested to know that one of them is
GEORGE NJ. Cunning, who a few years
ago was practicing attorney of this
city, connected with the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. His reputa-
ton al our local bar promises we'll for

PROTECT THEM.

While some of the nice people among
the Minnesota Solons are aiming to tone
up the masculine moral nature by OBJ
securing every impression that there is
similarity Of provision in the sexes for
locomotion. other states are taking the
lead in provisions to protect women
from the vicious propensitles of vile
men. The Maryland legislature be-
lieves that judicial death is earned by
the ravisher. In Michigan the women
are urgently pleading with the law
makers, and no doubt with success, for
more severe retribution for the grossest
sins against their sex. They would
have the governor restrained in any
disposition toward clemency, and when
the victim of criminal assault is under
thirteen years the death penalty shall
be inflicted. In this state it would
seem to be the impression of some of
the legislators that it is the men who
need protection.

THE LUNACY CoMussIoN.

Senator TAwNEY, the vigorous de-
batter from Winona, is going to make an
effort to-day to have his bill creating a
lunacy commission advanced an the cal
endar, so that 1t may receive immediate
consideration. The measure has been
favorably reported by the committee
which had 1t in charge, and seems likely
to become law unless one thing stops
it. The states experience with COM
missions as governmental agencies has
not been altogether happy one, and
there may be some reluctance to add
their number and variety. The Ques-
ton of the constitution of such bodies
is not an easy one to answer satisfac-
torily. If the salaries of the members
are made large, the Office becomes a
piece of patronage with which to re-
ward some political war horses who
have neighed loudly on election day.
If the salaries are made small, it
is impossible to induce compe-
tent men to accept the posi-
lions. The TAwNEY bill gives one
commissioner salary of a thousand
dollars and the other two one of four
hundred dollars each. Neither of these
amounts is likely to tempt the cupfdity
of the old campaigner; and the governor,
who is given the appointing power. will
probably find good men who will under
take the work apart from the question
of compensation, because its duties will
appeal to their public spirit and desire
to help the unfortunate. The powers
which the bill gives the commission are
very extensive, and its idea is to con-
centrate in strong central body the en-
tire superintendent and control of the
states institutions for the insane. Com
plete machinery is provided to prevent
the incarceration of the sane through
false commitments; and methods of in
vestigation are prescribed which. it is
hoped, will put an end to the cruel
treatment. of these helpless people of
which there have been so many in
stances in our recent asylum history.
The press, without regard to party,
seems inclined to speak favorable
word for Senator TAwNEY's bill, and
the GLOBE is in its favor if it is really
calculated, as it appears to be, to ac-
complish good results In these most i'm
DOrtant directions,

THE NEW ORDEAL

Some attention was directed last year
to the voting going on in the Methodist
churches over the question Of the ad-
mission of women to the Quadrennial
national conference to be held next
year. There was a good deal of opposi-
ton, but the women had considerable
advantage in the totals. Unhappily,
perhaps, for the cause, that vote was
not final. The ordeal of the annual
conferences being held this year must
be passed. The women have no voice
in these, and the question is in crave
danger of defeat. The Maryland con-
ference the past week gave its vote in
opposition, and the controversy has
been attended in the New York con-
ferences with a lack of the benign
placidity with which the brethren should
contemplate the welfare of the sisters.
and which is prOmOtive of longevity.
In one of them President RAYMOND. of
one of the universities, championed the
cause Of the women, and the New York
Tribune says ''his position was fiercely
assailed" by DR.. BUCKLEY, the editor of
the Christian Advocate and great Bour-
bon leader. The report indicates that
the presence of the gentle ladies may
be needed, even in the district confer
ences. AS the membership of that de-
nomination is two-thirdS women, it is
unseemy to deny them participation in
the legislation Of the society. 1t is

This is only an intimation of the more
novel features of the California display.
Minnesota cannot exhibit tropical fruits,
but it can present display that will be
more of surprise to those unfamiliar
with the resources eff the state. 1t will
have the advantage of the Southern
California products, in that its display
will remain attractive all the duration
of the fair. 1t is well to note what
other sections are doing as a suggestion
of the effort needed to represent the
great lacuStrine state.

AS DUN FINDS 1T.
Prospects Vary Greatly in the Sew
eral Lines of Trade.

NEW YORK, April 10.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of the trade says:
1t cannot be said that the business of
the country is expanding when there is
a decrease of nearly one-siXth within a
single month in the output of pig iron.
In nearly all quarters the admitted
slackening of trade is attributed to
merely temporary causes, but the state
of the iron trade cannot be thus eX-
planned, and while it may at any time
change for the better, it is at present an
unfavoraple symptom. At Detroit char
coal iron is offered at SIS, the low
est price ever known. 1t is
hopeful feature, on the other
hand. that stocks unsold have de-
creased during the month more
than one-Quarter, both of anthracite and
coke iron, at furnaces reporting. But
the trade is very dull. and some South
ern furnaces as 10 price, and the mar
ket for manufactured forms of iron and
steel shows no Improvement. 1t is said
that the orders for rails placed this
year do not reach 10000 tons. Another
element which may prove of great,
though temporary, importance is the
decision of great body of miners to
strike May for eight hours day. The
Eastern coal trade is very irregular,
buyers waiting the effects of the Coke
interstate decision. Other industries
show no material change, though the
wool market is more dull. The boot
and shoe trade is uncommonIy dull,
with prices tending rather downward.
Sales of half a million pounds
lake copper at 1870 are reported and
lead is weaker, but tin has been adj
vanced by speculation. The outlook
for the building trades is generally
favorable, though labor troubles at some
localities are still threatened. Reports
from the various centerS of trade are
about the same as last week, but rec
0gniZe temporary Slackening even more
generally, while it is attributed mainly
to bad weather and the state of country
roads. Pittsburg reports lower prices
for iron products, but glass sustained
with improving trade. At Cleveland
general trade is fairly active and lumber
especially, and at Cincinnati machinery
is very brisk, but other trade only fair.
At Chicago wheat, dressed beef
and wool show considerable in
crease over last year, but sales of
dry goods fall below those of last year,
the first adverse report in that trade
for many months. the clothing and shoe
trades still showing gains. Business at
Detroit is dull; at Milwaukee aud Kan
SaS City only fair, aud at st. Louis not
very strong. but at st. Paul spring trade
has been very satisfactory, and at
Omaha and Denver fair. At New Or
reans trade is quiet; at Memphis eau
ton rules, but at Savannah the pros
pect is bright, and there is improve
ment at Jacksonville. Speculation in
breadstufs halts, though wheat is a
fraction higher. Corn is 81 cent lower
but oats Il cent higher; pork Is cents
higher, but lard and hogs a shade
lower.
