son to meet her. 1t was Mrs. H. p. Lari-
bee, wife of the un~dersheriff, with a mes

Stein, cashier of the Arkalon state bank

The men had pursued the fleeing deputies
into the town of Springfield, but soon after

message, they started for their homes.

perate characters from Grant county I'M

found guilty last summer in Judge Botkin's
court of horse stealing and sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary, and who APP

UNRESTRICTED IMMIGRATION.
Characterized as n Curse by Master
Work man FowderiT.

PHLLAnELPHIA, Jan. 9-Gcneral Master
Workman Powderly has issued an address
on the Chinese Immigration question. In
it Mr., Powderly says that had moi the tide
of immigration been checked, there would
not be a white laborer now at work west
of the Rocky mountains, while
those east OF that range would be
retreating before the barbaric hordes
who work almost for nothing. In speak
ing of the Chinese restriction act, Mr.
Powderly says q May e, 1882, that act
was signed by President Arthur; il went
into effect after he signed it, and after tue
sixth day of next May it viii nave expired
and every barrier TO the immigration and
importation Of Chimes and cheap labor
will have been swept away. StS.9H 81

Our Dumb Brothers.

1t is evident enough that there is
streak of savagery running through
human nature, and great deal more
than streak in many people. C1v-
ilization and Christianity have done
much to keep it from cropping out,
but it is there, and its most frequent
manifestation is toward the dumb anil
mails that are our patient, willing, and
obedient servants, whose very help
lessness and dependence on us should
make us thoughtful of their welfare
and careful to deserve their conn-
dence.
"rhe merciful man is merciful to his
beast,n whose limbs are fashioned by
the same divine Hand that fashioned
ours, and who shares with us air ana
light and the fruits of the earth; who,
like us, is subject to pleasure and pain
and death; and who, for all we know,
may, like us, have hearafter. The
man, the woman, the child, who de-
lights to inflict suffering or to see it in
fiicted on any dumb, unoffending crea-
ture is unfit for the kingdom OF
God.
Nothiug more surely cultivates In
children tenderness toward animals
than the possession and care of pets;
The boy with dog that he loves and
that companions him will be slow to
ioin other boys in tormenting dogs
and cats not his own; and If, as he
grows older, he is permitted to enlarge
the number of his brute friends and
have pony, lamb, calf, to foster
and claim him as master, he Will learn
that in his own interest no less than
in their kindness to animals depen-
dent on him is the only wisdom.

Learning by Teaching.
BY E. p. A.

Lord Bacon says that ian index Is
chiefly useful to the maker thereof"
and his meaning shows us, as in Wv
i'd picture, the hours and days spent
by the indexmaker laboriously gather
ing the information which 80 gathered,
he can never lose. And Sir Henry
Taylor adds the commentary that "the
person who answers a question is not.
seldom the person who is chiefly the
wiser for the answer" -:
But never mind Lord Bacon, and
never mind Sir Henry Taylor. Is not
this truth to be used for the benefit
of our young people?
You put Jenny in Mr.. Nelson's Bible
class when she was very young. Mr..
Nelson Is fine teacher; Jenny was a.
fair scholar. And yet, when she was
sixteen years old, and was set to teach
five small boys,-her first class, ,-7she
realized that her knowledge of the
Bible was strangely vague and uncer-
tain. Those five small boys were five
spurs, pressing Jenny day by day, and
in six months she had clearer view
of the sequence of Bible history than
she had gained in four years of study
in class. Those five boys will learn all
Jenny can teach, but not all she has
learned In the effort to teach, until
they take her place and try to teach
themselves.
Ncy let us utilize this fact before
Jenny gets to be sixteen. Let us seG

Faithful in that which Is Least.

BE faithful in little things. Delude
not yourselves with the idea that you
can be uncertain and untrue in trifles,
and yet be reliable and trust worthy in
great matters. Trifles make up your
life and are the ultimate test of fideli-
ty. The best will cannot ripen into
permanent greatness when the fearful
power of negligent habit in trivial
things has given bent and character to
the soul. Gods laws are not broken
with impunity. Character is not con-
stituted by brilliant dash now and
then, but is what we make it by the
use of our powers. in the routine al
fairs of current life. Only those who
are faithful in the few things of COM
mon life are to rule over many things
in the exalted stations of the heavenly
realms.
