The admOnition of the great and
good man, Cardinal Gibbons, quoted
below, is commended to those women
who sigh for the privilege of entering
the political arena. The great church
he represents gives forth no uncertain
sound in regard to the debt woman
owes to christianity and the church, as
to her sphere. This is what the cardi-
nal said in recent Lenten sermon:
christian wives and mothers, what
an immense debt of gratitude you owe
to Christ and his church for your eman-
cipation and the dignity which you en-
joy in the commonwealth. If you are
no longer slaves to mans passion, like
the women of Asia, but the peer and
his equal; and if you are no longer a
tenant at will, like the wives of pagan
Greece and Rome, but the mistress of
your household; if you are no longer
confronted by usnrping rivals like
Mohamedan or Mormon wives, but if
you are the queen of the domestic king
dom you are indebted for this position
to the church.
81 said you are the queen of the do
mestic kingdom. If you would retain
that empire shun the political arena,
avoid the rostrum. beware of unsexine
yourself. If you become embroiled. in
political agitation the queenly aureole
that encircles your brow will fade
away and the reverence that is pai6
to you will disappear. If you have thu
vain ambition of reigning in public lif,
your domestic empire will be at al
end

ATTACKED BY A euFFALo.
The Narrow Escape from Death OF n
Green, Hunter.


The Narrow Escape from Death of
Green, Hunter.
Sir Samuel W. Baker in his latest
book, ''Wild Beasts and Their Ways"
narrates an adventure which shows that
a hunters life may depend upon his
attention to small details. Sir Samuel
and Mr.. Dick were shooting in Africa,
when they saw solitary bull buffalo
on the opposite side of q small creek
The bull was evidently in a state of
great excitement, for as the hunters
drew near the creek he faced them, tore
up the turf with his horns, and looked
down the perpendicular bank, twelve
feet high, as though meditating de-
scent.
Dick, who carried q little rife, a sin
gle barrel, which shot a small spherical
ball, had by Sir Samuel's advice doubled
his charge Of powder.
Calm at the back Of the neck if the
buffalo lowers his head" said Sir Sam
uel to his companion, throwing u hard
clod of earth SO that it fell into the
water at the foot of the bank The
splash caused the animal to look down,
exposing his neck. Dick fred. The bull
convulsively turned round, and fell upon
his side.
The two men waded across the creek
at a shallow place, and ran to where
the PROSTATE animal was lying appar-
entity dead. Dick, standing in front OF
the bulls head, reveled in the delight of
his first buffalo.
s'Never stand at the head of a buffalo
whether dead or alive!'' exclaimed Sir
Samuel, whose experience, had taught
him to be cautious. ''Stand upon the
side facing the back Of the animal
well away from its legs, as l am stand
lug now"
Scarcely had he uttered the words
when the bull sprang to his feet and
Numbered forward straight at the as
tonished Dick, not three feet distant.
He Jumped backward to avoid the
horns, but tripped and fell upon his
back right in the path Of the savage
bull.
As quick as Lightning Sir Samuel
drew his long hunting-lzrife and plunged
it behind the buffalo's shoulder. The
animal fell to the blow. He had re-
ceived his death-strolSe.
If the hunting-lsnife had not been
tempered steel, with keen edge and
sharp point, the story would have had
a tragical ending. The blade. a part OF
an old "Andrea Ferrara" Highland
claymore, was eighteen inches long.
two inches in breadth, dou6led-edged,
and as sharp as it was possible to
make it.
Sir Samuel saw to it that 1t was al
ways in the condition of surgeons
! lancet. He never left the camp for a
days shooting without first examining
| its point and edge. No serTant was
| allowed handle it, and When it needed
sharpening he himself honed It. When
he struck the buffalo the sharp double
edge OF the long knife divided the great
artery of the heart

FRESH YOUTHS OF ENGLAND.

They Are Considered to Be Altogether
Too Familiar.
II England-as Lord Beaeonsfeld be-
ieved and maintained-is to be saved
by her young men," their countrymen
OF more mature age ere justified in be-
slowing their serious consideration on
any complaints of this kind. 1t is our
duty to look after these future saviors
Of the country, says the London Tele-
graph, and whenever we notice in them
tendency to decline from the standard
Of our own Well-known virtues and to dis
credit the adnira bic example which we
have set them, the fact must be kindly
but firmly pointed out to them. It
would be indeed a bad Cmeh for the
national future If the youth of England
were really losing that ehixalrous re-
spectfo the weaker sex by which the.
manners Of their fathers, and, weSwin
add, their uncles, was SO invariably dis!
tinguished; aud, though we do not our.
selves take as responding a view on
that point as prevails in certain quar-
tens, we cannot deny that here are Wis
IDLE grounds for some uneasiness-
For instance, it is impossible not to
notice change for the worse in the.
young man of the present day toward
young women not related to him, or for
any other reason SO closely associated
with him as to justify a tone of excep-
tional familiarity Toozerhear casual
conversation between two such young
people of opposite sexes, however
''gently born and .bred''-to quote
the laureate's description, introduced,
Nv of
fensive ssbut'' OF his city clerk in
''Sea Dreams''-is to find food for
very grave reflection. We would
not lay too much stress on the fact that
| the youths manner Of accosting the
maiden is undoubtedly calculated
to make the bones Of their
great grandmothers stir in the
| silent tomb. We are quite willing to
admit that these venerable ladies are
| just a little too much tout of the move
ment," and we profess no wish to re-
vive the somewhat oppressive and ex-
cessive formality Of the sir and
madame days. There is, however,
surely some medium between the cere-
monious and the free and easy; and if
| the gentleman has ceased to bow to the
ground in addressing the lady, that is
|
figuratively, to slapping her on the back.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. style be-
| tween the two sexes has, however, un-
questionably gained ground Of late
years, and it may be the too common
male habit of talking to women with a
| freedom and familiarity not formally
used toward them which is gradually
leading young men to neglect those at
tentions and services which ladies ex
| pect from them. It must be difficult
for a youth who is accustomed ,hi1nsel
to treat his female partner Of the lawr
tennis grounn rs ''clluIn'' or q ''pal'' te
make a studded and complete change OF
attitude toward her when she becomes
his partner of the ballroom. On occa
sion-and, indeed, on most occasions
he might very viii be apt to forget that
she had any more claim to precedence OF
preference, any more right to be waited
upon and ''lool1ed after by him, thar
would belong to a companion of his owl

Put to the Test.

How quickly will man, no matter
how wild, how low he may have fallen,
how unbelieving or evil-minded, take
up arms on the least breath of an in
situation against his motherl The
minister was addressing mixed con-
gregation, among whom was a pro-
nounced materialist, who was loud in
his talk and belief that when man
died that was the last of him. The
minister said:
81 don't believe there is an honest
materialist in the audience."
Whereupon the loud talker rising,
said, ''Here..is one if you want to look
at him."
''Come up:bere. where the people can

IT is claimed that some Hungarian
labOrers in Pennsylvania, who are en-
ployed in highly protected industry,
stole some wagon grease from a mer-
chant and when found ont they were
spreading it upon bread as a substitute
for butter. 1t is claimed that the
farmer can afford to pay the tariff be-
cause the tariff is building up a home
market for farm products. In justice
to the farmer the tariff barons ought to
import laborers who know the differ
