c.pinrd adult. a mother who had
sent her six. year-old boy on On errand
was greeted Oh his return with burst
of tears because he had. dropped the
money, on the way, and lost it. The
mother, recognizing the easy possibil.
ity of such an accident, did not scold
the child,sbut kindly took the oppor-
tunity to point moral on the neces-
.sitv of carefulness, and then bade him
cheerily go to his play. Notwithstand-
ing the mother had accepted the
childish apology of tears, and excused
him, he went from her unconsoled and
unsatisfed. The instructive sense OF
honor, primitive and unreasoned, saw
no real reparation in mere verbal re-
grets and wailings. He went not to
lis play, but to an adjoining bed
room whence the sounds of bitter cry
ing continued.
In time the hurt voice was still,
and the mother concluded that the
child had fallen asleep. And no" the
door opened, and the little man walk

That Made in China Many Years Ago
Through Chinese Tartary.
1t may be safely asserted that no one OF
his Episcopal brethren has ever per-
formed such feat as formed an episode
IN the early life of the newly appointed
Bishop OF Norwich, as related by the ST
J9meS gazette. After serving a couple
OF years as curate under Dr.. Hooks at
Leeds, Mr.. Sheepshanks went out to
British Columbia in 1859, when that
colony was far wider and more isolated
country than now. He did eight years of
the rough work and then determined to
go nome fora holiday, at all events, elect
ing 10 travel via Japan and China, in
tnose Gays by no means familiar route.
FOR months he disappeared entirely from
mortal ken and his family began to enter
tam serious migivings as to his fate. one
| evening young Cam bridge man, after
ward headmaster of well-known gram
mar school, but tutor for the nonce to
russian prince, was smoking cigarette
III his rooms in st. Petersburg, when the
servant announced that a moulik wanted
TO see hIm very urgently. The unknown
visitor was shown up and appeared in the
WelI-worn garb from which Brian
OLynn devised his simple but practical
sartoriaI notions. To his hosts utter be-
ywllderment this uncouth being addressed
MN IN refined English, and presently ex-
PIalned that he was a brother Cantab
deslrous OF securing his good offices. The
man, in short, was Rev. John Sheep
shanks, who, having landed some six
months before near the mouth of the
Amoor River, had made his way alone
and on foot through Tartary, Turkestan
and Siberia to the banks of the Neva.

1t is true that "a party is bound by his
admissions in civil action" but can
the Mail get it through its head just once
and clearly that Mr.. Livermore Of Ala
media brought an action as a taxpayer in
ms own name, and that nothing he says
or does in the case binds anybody but
himself; that Mr.. Rideout was permitted
to use the name Of the people of the State
IN bringing his action, and that nothing
admitted in that case binds anyone not a
party to it?
The simple facts are precisely as we
have stated. Such of the press. metro
polltan and rural, as have been confusing
their readers by statements of supposed
facts, made from misconception, should
do their patrons justice by correcting the
