THE HOME CORNER.

Have the readers of the Home Cor
ner ever noticed that many people,
who think themselves religious, have
acquired a style of religion that mani
tests itself only in Sabbath observ-
ance? Now there can be no doubt
that Sabbath observance is a good
thing, and that the country needs far,
far more of it than it has any prospect
of enjoying. But it is my solemn be-
lief that regard for the Sabbath,
breaking out in the wrong place and
having the wrong kind of life back of
it, does more to produce reckless dis
regard for the Sabbath and disbelief
in religion than all the infidel books
and lectures that ever were published.
Given, q woman who has scolded
and fretted all the week until she has
made the lives of her family wretch
ed; who has not left one peaceful nook
or quiet corner in all the house, from
Monday morning until Saturday
night; and when she sits down on
Sunday with her big Bible, her
strong spectacles and her severe and
solemn face, what wonder that the
wretched children of her house
hold grow inwardly rebellious, and
wish with all their hearts that
Sunday never had been invented, or
that they were heathens and need not
pay any attention to it. The grand
and sacred purpose of the day is lost.
People who imagine that they are
keeping the Sabbath holy simply be-
cause they are reading the Bible and
abstaining from work may possibly be
very much mistaken after all. A long
face, Bible and darkened room,
with the children in the corner do not
constitute a Sabbath day at all. Such
a thing might have been believed
once, but it has now grown utterly un-
believable. This is the one day that
should be the sweetest and most at
tractive of all others to the children of
the household; day filled with quiet
happiness and loving home compan-
ionship. They who make it a day of
darkness and gloomy asceticism and
terror to the young are taking a
good deal of risk. 1t seems to me that
if any light hearted happiness is to
come in all the week it should grace
the Sabbath day. The veriest unbe-
lever in the land could
scarcely do worse than
many Christians do in this
respect; and it is worth while for all
of US to reflect little, and see what
we are doing with our Sabbaths.
Some of us, no doubt, are offering
them sacrifice to mere worldly
pleasure; some are giving them over
to vanity; and many others are filling
them with gloomy asceticism which
we vainly mistake for piety. Poor,
misused day!-misused sorely enough
by its enemies; and how much more
sorely misused by its friends! What
wonder that in the midst of such
treatment Sabbath observance is fall
ing into utter disregard, and becom-
ing a mockery and byword among
the nations

BROOKLYN, Nov. 10.-The new cruiser
Cincinnati was successfully launched at
the navy yard this afternoon.
The day was cold and rainy, but the
new cruiser was decorated from stem to
stern. An unusual number of warships
in the basin made the scene doubly at
tractive. The list included the new
cruisers Philadelphia and Atlanta, the
the dynamite cruiser Nesuvius, the dis
patch vessel Dolphin, the training-ship
Portsmouth and the Giovanni Bausan.
the Italian cruiser which represented
Italy in the late Columbus fetes in New
York.
Secretary Tracy of the Navy arrived at
the yard and was saluted with seventeen
guns at noon. Mayor Mosby of Ciucin-
natl and his daughter, Miss Stella Mosby,
came al the same hour.
Soon after 2 p. NJ. the word was given
by the Secretary Of the Navy, the side
piece was cut, and the handsome cruiser
began to move. Miss Moseby stepped
up with a bottle of wine, and utterino
smashed the bottle on the vessels steel
bow. The vessel slid down the ways
with increasing momentum, and while
the band played 1.-THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner," she shot out into the stream. She
was taken in charge by the Navy-yard
tugs and towed back to the wharf.

PANAMA, Nov. 10.-According to ad-
vices from Chile, war is imminent be
tween the Argentine Republic and Peru
on one side and Chile on the other. Peru
is perfectly well armed, and it's forces
have recently received 100, 900 Mannlicher
rifles of the latest system, together with
many other formidable war machines. A
Chilean gentleman arrived from Peru
states in that republic approaching war
with Chile affords the staple of conversa-
ton, and its frequent pretenses of friend
ship are not only put forth as means of
gaining time. In the Argentine Republic
there is vigorous recruiting, both natives
and foreigners being prescripted, and the
Government, with feverish haste, is arm
ing troops. There is no longer any doubt
that a secret compact against Chile,
offensive and defensive, exists between
the two republics named, and they are
only awaiting anything that will serve
as cdSUS 6elt5 in order TO throw one
army into Tarapaca and then another
upon the southern frontier, while
strong skirmishing parties win harass
the country from the Cordilleras
The Chilean Government has tardily
opened its eyes to the threatened invasion
and ordered the steamers Of the G. ). A .
V. to be prepared for immediate incor-
pOratiOn into the navy, cabling for the
Captain Pratt TO proceed to Valparaiso
without moments delay.

CROP BULLETIN.
Monthly Report from the Agricultural
Department.

Monthly Report from the Agricultural
Department.
WASHINGTON, Nov. f0.-Monthly crop
report: Average yield for corn in seven
States - OHIO, % bushels; Indiana, 2s;
Illinois, 25.S; Iowa, %; Missouri, Is; Kan
sas, 23.3; Nebraska, 2S.7; average yield OF
buckwheat, I4.1 bushels per acre. In
New York, 14.7; Pennsylvania, 14.5;
Wisconsin, 1873: Iowa, 10.7. The yield of
corn averages in November were pa
bushels per acre, and promises an aggre-
gale production OF little more than Co.,
10000 bushels, while the other great
bread grain, wheat, by returns OF last
month, pointed to q product based on the
acreage investigation, Will not exceed
50O,0O0,O00 bushels, with possibility OF
shrinkage in the spring, and certainly OF
light weight.
In the Northern States on the Atlantic
Coast the crop has ripened well. In the
cotton States it was injured somewhat by
excessive moisture, causing rot and
mould in some districts shortened by
drought. In Ohio the crop is well cured,
but chaf1y from drying too rapidly. The
yield Is very uneven, ranging from ten
to sixty bushels per acre. The Indiana
product IS in good condition on early
planted areas, and better than expected on
continued drought the local yields are
extremely variable.
There is much complaint Of lightness
of ears ami lOOseness in cob Of corn i'll
Illinois, and some variability in yield
and quality elsewhere. 1t is well dried
out and undamaged by drought. Some
was damaged by being cut and shocked
too early. There is much chaf1y corn,
and the average weight will be light.
Iowa corn has Ilpaun6 we'll the heavy
frosts being delayed till the last week of
October, but late planted is shriveled
from the rapid drying of immature ears.
Part of the crop is sound and good, and
portion very light. LOw-lying areas
were damaged by excessive moisture in
the early summer. Wet weather in the
spring and drought in summer reduced
the quantity and quality in Missouri.
The average in Kansas was reduced by
the low yield of seed corn, which of
course is included in the aggregate. Ne
braska corn early planted ripened thor
oughly. Some of the latest planting was
plOwed up and sown to wheat. Variable
lty OF yield makes it difficult to fix fair
average. In low places there was some
injury from frost.
The estimated yield ofpotatoes is sixty
two bushels per acre. 1t is eighty-two i'll
Maine, Sixty-three in New y ork, sixty
in Pennsylvania, siXty-two in Michigan,
seventy in Minnesota, fifty-one in Iowa,
and forty-seven in Kansas. The crop
almost everywhere is light. Tubers are
small as a rule and rotting considerably
in New York and throughout the west.
The yield OF tobacco is less than last
year, the average being reported Go2
pounds per acre of all kinds, against 74S
last year.
The average yield of hay is III tons per
acre, nearly the same as in 1891.

NEW CARDINALS.
Vacancies to be Filled by the Pope In

Copyright by Associated Press.
ROME, Nov. lot is now probable
that at the great Cardinal Consistory to
take place on the 10th of December, it is
expected the Pope will create thirteen
Cardinals out Of the seventeen vacancies.
Five are certain, viz: Tours, Reue, Grau
di Pentre. Persico. Archbishop of Sc
vile appears equally certain. For Eng
land there is as yet no question Aus
tria demands three, bat the Pope will
accord only Grau. In the last audience
the Prussian Minister renewed the Kai-
ser's demand that MonsignOr KOpp,
Bishop of Breslau, be included among the
Cardinals, but the Pope would prefer the
Archbishop Of Cologne. AS the Prussian
Government opposes this selection, the
Archbishop OF POsen may be his final
choice.
His holiness restricts the number and
duration of his audiences and secludes
himself in his apartments, working over
two encyclicalS, one for the jubilee and the
other On the church in the east. tits stated
that he occupies himself also with Amer
lea, but has not yet decided whether he
will speak thereon at the consistory or
in special document.
1t is denied in Vatican circles that
Monsignor Satolli has any missive regard-
ing scholastic questions in the United
States. 1t is considered that these have
been regulated through the Ireland incl
dent.
Serious pour parlers have occurred be-
tween the Holy See, the Spanish Gov
ernment and the Spanish parties. On the
death of Nocedal, representative of Don
Carlos, his son, Director Sigie Future,
was selected as succession to the post, but
Don Carlos preferred Spanish grandee.
Nocedal then separated himself from the
King as being too liberal. Schicm
obliged Don Carlos to reorganize his
party, and it is now a circle in every
village. Nocedal, with his set, has CON
ceived the idea of forming a Catholic
union, programme which will be to
rally to the existing monarchy for q
better defense of the interests of religion,
Nocedal required the Pope to write a
new encyclical in order that the power to
rally from one side to the other might be
confirmed. The present Spanish Gov
ernment, enchanted with the recruit,
supported NocedaPs request through its
ambassador at Rome, while Don Carlos
eSerted himself vigorously to nullify the
scheme. Things being as they are, the
state of the parties is SO precarious that
the Holy See will not compromise itself
The present truce will last, however.
only till the death OF the Queen Regent
against whom no one desires to hasten a
revolution, but at her death the Carlists
will actively interfere.
The Holy Father is greatly pleased with
the sympathetic receptions accorded to
Monsignor Satolli, papal delegate at the
Worlds Fair dedication ceremonies. and
also with the speech of Chauncey Depew,
the prayer of Arch bishop Ireland and
the medal struck by order of the commit
tee on this occasion. Referring to the
