WE NEVER had the pleasure of
meeting the editor of the st. Peter

Horace Greeley Perry, and that he edits
a bright little sheet, but beyond this
we know nothing of the gentleman
We think, however, that Mr.. Perry did
not treat us exactly fair in the last is
sue of the Journal. We will admit
that there is great deal in the ethics
OF newspaper work of which we are
densely ignorant, but we are trying,
day by day, to overcome this, so far as
nature will permit. In our issue of the
4th, we took occasion to warn our read
ers against certain indulgences of a
harmful nature, and to be on their
guard against dishonest persons that we
h'1eec would be present in Liberty Park
during our celebration of independence
Day. We did this as duty we owed
to our unsophisticated inside readers.
We did it solemnly, for we felt that we.
would be morally responsible did we
not warn our innocent brethren of the
pitfalls prepared for them by the I'M
gOdly. What was the result? The
Journal takes this purely local warn
ing, changes its construction from the
original text, and then severely criti-
cises us in the following language:
"The fellow who can dish up such in
formation ought to travel with cir

any mode of conveyance, or even afoot,
would not be Objectionable to
be called fellow Fellow, indeed!

WE HAVE received communication
from comrade (Which he evidently
intended for publication) in which he
tells Of the suffering of his poor wife
and the difficulties she has encountered
IN her efforts to provide the necessaries
OF life for herself and infant daughter.
1t is pathetic story, but alas. it is a
story that is as old as the world-the
story OF the innocent suffering for the
guilt OF others. We can sympathize
with our brother; we know his heart is
torn with anguish when he thinks of
his loved and helpless ones struggling
feebly to stem the current on life's
river We know the keen remorse he
feels at the thought of the suffering of
those who are dearer to him than life
While he, their natural protector. is
helpless to give aid. From the depths
OF our heart we pity our sorrowing
comrade, and to him we would say in
the most kindly spirit: Bear your
burden patiently, bravely, and silently.
Don't tell your grief to the world. but
go to Him who has said Cast YOUR
burdens on me- and when the dawn of
brighter day comes-and come it will
resolve by all the manhood that is in
you, that never, by act of yours, will
you leave those dependents on you alone
and unprotected.

Literary Notes.
sBsssssassssasss


Don0hoe's Magazine for July con-
tains an interesting account of the.
lepers of Molokai and the noble, self
sacrificing work of Father Damien.
Here in this sea-girt asylum of peo-
pie afflicted with the most dreaded of
known diseases, from which there is no
escape but through the portals of
death, is presented one of the noblest
and brightest pictures of the glory of
Christianity, with it's marvels of self
sacrifice amid surroundings and under
circumstances the most depressing.
These poor victims, doomed to the
ravages of disease that completes it's
deadly work in an average of four or
five years, the progress of which is,
marked with the most significant and
destructive precision, can alone ap--
preciate at it's true worth the Christian
heroism of those who are laboring
among them, following in the foot
steps of the venerated Father Damien.
aud ready as he was to accept, if needs
be, the burden of the disease itself in
their behalf. And yet unhappiness
does not chill the air of Molokai.
Death has lost it's terror by reason of
its very familiarity, and by the silver
lining their faith has limned behind
the cloud. The Hawaiians are naturally
light-hearted people, and even the
shadow of leprosy cannot suppress for
long their buoyant temperament.
In Molokai the lepers may be found
engaged in pleasant pastimes, and
among them one may hear the light
and cheerful word of greeting and see
the sunny smile. Horse-racing, which
is favorite national sport, is INDUCED
in frequently. Nor are these lepers
idlers; far from it. They work, while
able, in the cultivation of the ground
and in other ways, and altogether lead
a far pleasanter and more contented
life than might be supposed. This
of their condition, as
with what it was when
Father Damien took up his residence
on the island, in 1873, has been chiefly
brought about by his influence and
the labors of his successors.

"THE Mediocrity of women" is the
title OF an article in the San Fran
cisco Aryonaut of July 10Th, by
Geraldine Bonner, in which she dis
cusses the inferiority of woman's
achievements in the arts as compared
with mans. Miss Bonner calls up al
most all the women who have made
claim to genius, and shows that, ex-
cept in the histrionic and lyric arts,
their work has been insignificant as
compared with the long roll of male
geniuses.

1T SEEMS hard that when a man does
wrong, his children should be put un-
der an irresistible inclination to do
wrong; it seems hard that when man
drinks spirituous liquors, his children
and his childrens' children should be
urged by burning thirst, which they
can scarcely withstand, toward indul-
gence in intoxicating drinks; it seems
hard that diseases should be transmit
ted, and that because a man has vio-
lated the laws Of health, his children
should be sickly and short lived. These
things seem hard so long as we look at
them only on one side; but what a
power of restraint this economy has
when every man feels, II stand not for
myself alone, but for the whole line of
my posterity to the third and fourth
generation. '-Henry Ward Beecher.

CHIEF JUSTICE BEATTY, of the
California Supreme Court, has ruled
that poker playing for money is not
criminal. In a recent decision the
Justice says:
"Poker- playing for money, however
Objectionable in fact, is in the eyes of
the law as innocent as chess, or any
game played for recreation, and it's
vOtaries and the places where it is
played are not criminal"
1t is possible that the learned Chief
Justice knows more about the in
tricacies of the law than he does about
the great American game of poker.
It may not be criminal for the other
fellow to raise ''cold deck" and rake
in big ''jack-pot'' that you were
planning to put into your own trouser
pockets. Of course it is not criminal
for the poker sharp to drop into the
'business mans game" in which you
are taking hand and gently work his
little sleeve hold out" every time you
thought you had "cinch" on the pot.
There are thousands of men whose
clothing are cut after the latest fash
ion plate, who wear diamonds, have
money in plenty, and yet who do no
other work than manipulate the paste
boards in games of poker, but of course
there is nothing criminal in making a
luxurious living by this method, for
has not the Supreme Court so decreed ?

ADVANTAGES OF THE
PAROLELAW.

Another state Nllinois) has adopted
the indeterminate sentence and parole
law. The old method of sending men
convicted OF crime to the penitentiary
to be starved in body, mind and soul,
is rapidly being superseded by course
OF treatment that gives the convict an
incentive to do that which is right
an incentive to live up to all the man.
mood that is in him. Under the old
law the convict entered the peniten-
tlary with hatred of the law which is
soclety's safeguard. He left the prison
with that hatred intensified ten-fold
He had wronged society, and society
had retaliated by depriving him of his
liberty and the proceeds of his labor
Tor a number of years. Society had

upon me a brand which closes the
avenues of an honorable career on an
equal footing with my fellow-men.
