A MATRICIDE.
A Young Man Murders his Mother and
his Aunt,

HOUSTON, Texas, April 5.-Mrs An.
ME Shaw, an aged lady and her widow
ed sister, Mrs. johnson, have resided at
27S Prairie Street for long time, and
with them lived Walter 4. Shaw, a son
OF the former lady, lawyer about 35
years old. The young man has never
done any good for himself, giving up
his time to dissipation.
wednesday night at o'clock some
neighbors who went to visit the ladies
found both of them dead on the dining
room floor. Mrs. Shaw's throat was
cut from ear to ear, while her sister s
was slashed from the jugular to the
windpipe. In an adjoining room was
found a bloody razor, all hacked to
pieces, with which the worst tragedy
ever known in Houston was committed.
Beside wash bowl filled with bloody
water was half smoked cigarette with
bloody finger imprints upon it. Young
Shaw, the son and nephew is missing.
Thursday morning at o'clock prin-
ter saw a man jump from the San ia
cinto bridge into Buffalo River, and it
is supposed this man was Shaw.
The city is wild with excitement, and
if Shaw has not suicided, as supposed,
he will be lynched as soon as caught.
The family is one of the oldest and
most respected in Texas. An exami-
nation OF the premises shows that all
the doors had been unlocked by bloody
hands, and all the drawers had been
burst open, supposedly for the purpose
of robbery.

What Is Christianity2

An aggregate of virtues does not and
can not constitute Christianity or any
other religion, no more than an aggre-
gate of virtues constitute man, OF an
aggregate of different forces constitutes
locomotive, or an aggregate of brick,
wood and mortar constitutes a house.
Virtue is force or facility of doing q
thing with ease, arising from the doing
Of that thing many times, so many
times as to acquire habit of doing it.
Kindness, candor, truthfulness and the
other moral virtues are habits Of mind
growing out of frequent repetition of
acts of kindness, candor, truthfulness.
A truthful man is one who has acquir-
ed the habit of telling the truth and
can do it without effort, 80 that even
when speaking against Christianity he
can tell 1T without danger of wrench
ing muscle, fracturing bone or rup-
turing an artery. We may then define
virtue as habit of mind inclining
man and making it easy for him to do
good and actrightly. You can now see
how these habits Of mind" may con.
stitute man good and religious willie
they can not constitute him man,
and why, taken altogether, they can
not constitute religion OF Christianity.
Christianity teaches all these virtues
and exhorts us to practice them. Rev.
Fielding.

The Treaty Ratified.

The United States has taken Lord
Salisbury at his word. The Senate rat
flied the Behring Sea arbitration treaty
by unanimous vote. In view of his
explicit admission that when the arbi-
tration treaty Is ratified both parties
must admit that contingent rights have
become vested in the other, which both
desire to protect" che British Premier
can not now refuse to renew the modus
vivendi without stultifying himself.
Having passed the treaty, this country
is entitled to demand that the modus
shall be revived in an effective form
without days unnecessary delay.
Much time has already been lost in the
matter, owing to Lord Salisbury's pro-
crastination. There is no time to lose
if the seals are to have genuine pro-
lection.
The wisdom of the Presidents reso-
lutte course is vipdioated by the result.
Only short time ago Lord Salisbury
was insisting that there was not the
slightest occasion for modus vivendi,
and his dispatches indicated very clear
ly that h did not intend to renew the
previous agreement. The determina-
ton to maintain American rights to
the uttermost, backed as it was by the
sentiment of the entire Nation, forced
complete change ON the part of the
Tory Minister.
Lord Salisbury's latest action is an
unmistakable retreat from his former
position. 1t marks another diplomatic
success for the administration that
maintains the dignity of the United
States with equal firmness against the
assaults of weak, half savage nations
and the encroachments of the might

increasing favor with which American
print goods are regarded in Canada.
Ihe statement of this journal three
years ago that American made creton.
mes and other printed cottons were
lndlng permanent foothold in the
dominion, were met with incredulity
IN England, where twas supposed that
nothing could supplant the English
made goods. Before the last change
In our tariff affecting printed cottons,
some American manufactures had OBJ
tanned quite hold upon our market.
The change Of duty made to protect
the Magog works throttled this new
trade for time. Since then, however,
partly owing to the cheapening of the
cost of manufacture in the United
States, and partly owing to the skill
with which American designers adapt
foreign makes to the Anglo Saxon taste.
this trade is again reviving, and last
year the increase in the importation of
American prints was quite marked.
Already In one or two special lines of
cottons, such as jeans and coutilles for
corset manufacture, and in drills and
ducks, our annual imports from the
States exceed those from Great Britain.
and the same change may before MANY
years be brought about in print goods.

Poor February..The Ugly Duckling Of
the Year,

An addition to the calendar such as
is made in leap year is called an sin
tercalation;" the added day is said to
be 'intercalated, and is known as an
''intercalary" day. The month in
which the intercalary day of the leap
years has been placed has all along
been February. Throughout its whole
history this has been the most unstable
of the months. 1t has formed kind
of quarry from which materials have
been dug for repairing the rest Of the
calendar. January and February found
their way into the calendar together
January at the beginning and February
ut the end of the year. Then February
was put after January, as the second
month instead of the last. Julius Ce-
sar gave the alternate months, January,
March, May, July, September, and No
vember, thirty.one days each and the
others thirty, except February, which
had its thirty in leap years of 1855 days
and only twenty-nine in ordinary years
1856. This arrangement, which is greatly
better than our present irregular scheme
of months, was upset to crafty the
vanity of Augustus. Caesar had called
the month Quintilis by his name Julius
our July, and so Augustus, though
he had done nothing to reform the cal
endar, must have his month as well,
and he must have it as long, too, as
that of julius. The month Sextilis was
accordingly named Augustus,-o Au-
gust-andits thirty days were ncr eased
by one, of which poor February had, of
course, to suffer the loss. This brought
that month 3 twenty nine or thirty days
down to the twenty eight or twenty
nine it has now. And the change made
by Augustus, or at least in his interest,
did not end there; it affected all the
following months, September and No
vember being reduced to thirty and
October and December increased to
thirty one possibly because it seemed
awkward to have three months of thirty
one days July, August, and Septem-
ber) together.-Rev. Geo. Macarthur,
in April st. Nicholas.

LITERARY NOTES.

With the April number the Review of
reviews enters upon its second year.
it has had an exceptional, if not an al
together unique history. One year ago
1t was known only to few discrimina-
ting readers, and its subscription list
and news stand sales required only a
few thousand copies. Its edition the
present month is $1,000 copies, and it is
eagerly read in every State and Terri.
tory in the Union and in every part of
Canada. No extraordinary efforts have
been made to push the magazine.
There has been very little cauyassing
done for it no chromos have been Civ
en- to its subscribers: no special in
ducements, such as an encyclopedia or
parlor organ thrown in as gratuity
or offered at half price, have been Of
fered by publishers. The Magazine
has grown to an enormous circulation
and to commanding influence simply
upon its merits. Its readers have liked
II and therefore recommended it to
their friends. Itowes not little to the
newspapers of the country, which have
appreciated the journalistic enterprise
and vigor and the enormous amount of
hard, honest labor put into every num-
Der, and which have most heartily re-
commended it to their readers. While

THERE have lately been placed upon
the market several cheap reprints of an
obsolete edition of "Webster's Dictiop-
ary." These books are given various
names, "Webster's Unabridged, n''The
Great Webster's Dictionary, - "Web-
ster's Big Dictionary" webster En-
cyclopedic Dictionary etc.
Many announcements concerning
them are misleading. The Webster re,
print portion of each from A to z is the
same-forty-four years behind the
times, and printed from plates made
by photograp6ing the old pages.
The old book has been padded out
by various additions culled from vari-
GUS sources, but the body is the same
that was published when Polk was
President and duly buried at the in.
coming of Lincoln. The Webster, cur
rent from Lincoln to Harrison, is the
popular copyrighted Unabridged"
which has just been superseded by
Webster's International Dictionary.

IngersOll on the Farm.

1t is no advantage to live in a city
where poverty degrades and failure
brings despair. The fields are lovelier
than paved streets and the great forests
of oaks and elms are more poetic than
steeples and chimneys. In the country
is the idea of home. There you see the
rising and settirg sun you become &C.
quainted with the stars and clouds.
The consultations are your friends.
You are thrilled by the resurrection
called spring, touched and saddened
by autumn-the grace and poetry of
death. Every field is picture, land
scape every landscape poem, every
flower tender thought and every for
est o fairy land. In the country you
preserve your identity-your personal
ity. There you are an aggregation of
atoms, but in the city you are only an
atom of an aggregation.

Washington and His Mother,

When the tidings of the splendid
success at Yorktown were brought di-
rect from the General to his mother,
she was moved to an exclamation of
fervent thanksgiving: THANK God!
the war is ended, and we shall be bless
ed with peace, happiness, and inde-
pendence, for at last our country is
free." Shortly after the surrender of
CORVALLIS, Washington left YorktO wn
with brilliant suite of French and
American officers, and started upon
his journey to Philadelphia, stopping
on the way at Fredericksburg to visit
his mother. 1t was nearly seven years
since he had last seen her face; he left
Mount Vernon in May, 1775, and did
not return till the autumn of 1881. Now
that the time of meeting drew near, his
mother was serene but very quiet, only
smiling to herself oftener than usual.
But it was not the hero crowned that
filed her thoughts, but the son who,
after years of absence and danger, was
coming back to her. On the 18th of
November, 1881, the town of Freder-
icksburg was all aglow with joy and
revelry. Washington, ''in the midst
of his numerous and brilliant suite, :"
wrote Mr.. Gusts, sent to apprise her
his mother of his arrival, and to know
when itwould be her pleasure to receive
him. Alone and on foot, the general
in chief of the combined armies of
, France and America he goes on to
say in the grandiloquent style of the
day, ''the deliverer of his country, the
hero of the hour, repaired to pay his
humble tribute of duty to her whom he
venerated as the author of his being"
etc. When the warm embrace of greet
ing was over, looking into his face with
earnest, close observance. her eyes en-
kindled with maternal love. she said
tenderly, "You are growing old, George;
care and toll have been making marks
in your face since saw 1t last.'' Her
voice is said to have been singularly
sweet, and he loved its cadence as she
called him by name. She. inquired as
to his health, and she spoke much "of
old times and old friends, hut of his
glory not one word.-Mrs. Ella Bassett
