A late census bulletin shows that an
estimate of five persons to the average
family is not far from correct. There
are in the United States ~, 800, 1852
families. The investigation into their
number was mado partly with the view
of ascertaining how many people in the
United States own the homes they live
in. The report is not particularly
cheerful one. Over half the families in
this republic, $3.50 per cent, live in
rented houses or on rented farms. Fur
thermore, only about 33 per cent Of all
the people in this country own their
homes unencumbered by debt or mort
gage. If the present tendency continues,
it will in a generation OF two more be
in this republic as it is in European
monarchies, the land all i'll the hands of
the few, while the majority Of the IN
habitants, like those of Ireland, will be
a peasant and tenant class. If this
was what the pilgrim fathers landed Oh
Plymouth Rock for, they might better
have staid on the other side. 1t was not
worth the trouble of coming here. 1t
was not worth the trouble of fighting
the American Revolution and proclaim
ing that all men were born free.

examinations For Trainmen.

Surgeon Granville p. Conn Of Con-
cord. N. H., is of opinion that before
men are employed on railroad trains
they should be subjected to thorough
physical, mental and moral examlna-
ton. In a paper in The Medico-Legal
Journal he declares that the physical
test should be as severe as that for the
United States army He is quite cor
rect in supposing that this examination
would weed out a large proportion OF
the men who now apply for places.
After the applicant has passed the
physical tests he may be admitted to
the training classes for railroad en-
ployees, which Surge on Conn would
like to see established. The man should
have as a basis for this instruction a
good common school education to begin.
He should be trained III the brake and
signal systems and in the habit OF in
specting tracks end every part OF car.
Ventilation, cleanliness and the man
agemeGt of temperature DIR. Conn lays
great stress on. If his suggestions were
carried out, the comfort and safety of
the American railway passenger would
be largely augmented. The public Will
thoroughly agree with the doctor that
a trainman who brides or DULLES a
newsboy into giving him peanuts and
bananas and then throws the shells and
skins upon the floor as freely as the dirt
lest of the passengers does is not a
fit subject for place in the employ
ment of a good railway company.

The Lecture Age.

1t is quite gone by, Rev. E. F. Pow
ell tells US in The New England Maya
zine The main reason of it now Is that
we have people in every neighborhood
who can speak as we'll as the distln"
guished individuals who used to come
from a distance and talk for from 500
to $500 a night. Mr.. Powell himself
knew Familiarity many of the old stars,
from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Sojourn-
er Truth. Once when Emerson was to
lecture in Mr.. Powell's town he had
forgotten his notes and left them IN
place ten miles away. He could not
speak a word without them, and the
audience had to wait an hour and half
till messenger went on horseback and
got them. When they did arrive, the
people thought that Mr.. Emerson gave
from the notes the dryest lecture they
had ever listened to.
Mr.. Powell's gossipy experiences are
delightful reading:
The 1yceum, what is left Of it, is no longer
the New England conscience pound on voyage
to convert the world 20 political and social
righteousness. Efforts are invariably made to
book any one who has created a sensation Ell
Their in political or criminal life. But while this
detracts still further from the character OF
the platform erected by Theodore Parker,
William Lloyd Garrison, Richard S. Storrs,
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Charles Summer it
does not succeed in establishing even bar
imitation of the original idea. Mr. Vending,
ex-senator Ingalls,, ex- Representative Wilsol
and Senator Gordon, all eloquent men, are MOI
able to draw continuous crowds. The work il
done The lyceum rose to great power and
fell away and practically died inside single
quarter Of a century. But it killed slavery.
it broke the power of superstitious theology,
It made women free, it created a universal de
uand for higher culture.

Nose Gunst "has came
A Different Sort OF a Case

That firm and able statesman now in
the White HOUSE has done more than any
other man to save his party from disas-
rrous blunders and the country from the
consequences OF those plumbers, and if the
Repubi cans win next year it will be be-
eau Sc the Democrats havo not taken wise
counsel and followed the sagacious lead
OF MIR. Cleveland. The Herald was
aga inst the third term principle when it
was proposed to nominate General Grant
for a third time, and We strongly op-
posed the idea in series OF most effectiI e
.rticles written by q well-known and
brilliant writer. But General Grant was
q soldier, ana Csesarism is always
feared from a strong minded military
genius. Mr.. Cleveland is civilian ana
hence the case is now entirely different.
There is no OCCASION for any anti-third-
term Sentiment, and no Caessrism to fear il
he should be again nominated and
elected. Democrats cannot put up q
stronger man, and they will make a
serious mistake If they nominate a dark
horse. The Herald does not believe in

Out yonder in the moonlight, wherein
Go angels walking to and fro, singing
their lullabes.
Their radiant wings are folded, and their
eyes ara Bonded low,
AS they sing among the beds wherein the
flowers delight to grow
'Sleep, oh. sluep!
The Shepherd guardeth His sheep,
Fast speedeth the night away.
Soon cometh the glorious day.
Sleep, weary ones, while ye may
Sleep, on, sleep!"
The flowers within Gods Acre see that
fair and wondIous sight,
Ana hear the angels singing to the Sleep
ers through the night
And, lo throughout the hours OF day
those gentle flowers prolong
Tie music of the angels in that tender
slumbsr song
"Sleep, oh, sleep
The SHEPHERD loveth His sheep,
He that guardeth His flock the brst
Hath folded them to His loving
breast;
So sleep We now and take your rest
Sleep, oh, sleep"
From angel and from flower the years
have learned that soothing song,
And with its heavenly music speed the
days and nights along;
So through I'll time, whose flight the
Shepherds vieils glorify,
Gods Acre slumbereth in the grace Of
that sweet lullaby
sleep, oh, sleep!
The Shepherd loveth His sheep,
Fast speeGeth the night away.
