THE AUTHORITIES IN EARNEST.

Following the announcement of
States Attorney Browns determine
ton to enfore the nuisance act in the
case of liquor places in Burlington, we
learn that States attorneys in other
counties are also consulting judges of
the Supreme Court with reference to
the rigid enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law in their respective jurisdic-
ton. This is in line with the action
taken in various counties already, and
unless all signs fail the law will soon
be enforced in as thoroughly in the
larger towns as it is in the majority of
smaller places in the State.
Those who claim that public senti-
ment will not support the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law would be
surprised could they hear the hearty
expressions of approval of the States
attorneys course on the part of those
who might naturally be expected to
favor the freest sale of Intoxicating
beverages, those who are the victims
of the drink habit. These people, for
whom complete prohibition is the on
ly sure safeguard, are rejoicing over
the assurance that the authorities are
in earnest in the attempt to strictly
enforce the prohibitory law, and SO
are the great majority of our people,
especially the parents of young men.
Let the good work go on throughout
Vermont.-Free Press.

have been loyal to God the awful re-
suits of disloyalty, so that none of them
may ever attempt it say our world,
having finished its mission, may then
go out of existence. The central fires Of
the world which are burning out rapidly
toward the crust may have reached the
surface by that time, and the Bible
prophecy be fulfilled which declares
that the earth and all things that are
therein shall be burned up. The ran
somed human race at that time ON earth
will start unhurt in those chariots of
fire for the great metropolis of the uni
verse, the heaven, where the redeemed
of the Lord shall talk over the famines
and the plaques and the wars which this
earth suffered and against which we
struggled and prayed as long as there
was any breath in us. Glorious consum-
nation!
The East and the West.
May 10, 1869, was a memorable day,
for then was laid the last tie that con-
nected the two rail tracks which united
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
Central Pacific railroad was built from
California eastward. The Union Pacific
railroad was built westward. They
were within arms reach of meeting,
only one more piece of the rail track to
put down. A great audience assembled
midcontinent to see the last tie laid.
The locomotives of the eastern and
western trains stood painting on the
tracks close by. Grafton explained the
occasion, and prayer solemnized it, and
music enchanted it. The tie was made
of polished laurel wood, bound with sill
yer bands, and three spikes were used
gold spike, presented by California; a
silver spike, presented by Nevada, and
an iron spike, presented by Arizona.
When, all heads uncovered and all
hearts thrilling with emotion, the ham,
mer struck the last spike into its place,
the cannon doomed it amid the resound-
ing mountain echoes and the Geographic
instruments clicked to all nations that
the deed was done. My friends, if the
laying of the last tie that bound the east
and the west of one continent together
was such resounding occasion, what
will it be when the last tie of the track
of gospel influences, reaching clear
around the world. shall be laid amid
the anthems of all nations? The spikes
will be the golden and silver spikes
fashioned out of the Christian generos-
ity of the hemispheres. The last ham,
mer stroke that completes the work will
be heard by all the raptured and piled
up galleries of the universe, and the
mountains of earth will shout to the
thrones of heaven: "Halleluiah, for the
Lord God Omnipotent reignethl Halle
luiah, for the Kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdoms of our Lord
Jesus Christl'

THE JAPANESE AND DEATH.
Their Decorous Dcmcnnor When At

Their DecOrous Dcmcnnor When At
tending Funerals.
1 have just spoken of the japanese as
behaving simply at funerals. That is
only partially correct. They are quiet
butnot quite simple-so quiet that their
nlanner seems simple. AS a matter of
fact, they take All elaborate part in the
prescribed rites, bowling here, bending
there, strewing prayers to the right
and sweetmeats to the left. But it is all
done with good accent and with good
discretion" They have the at of arts,
the art that hides art. Let me dwell
upon this thought moment. Let me
l:ut it another way, for it is one of the
most beautiful things that can be sail
of the Japanese. They have learned to
apply to life and to art (their life and
art are almost one) the great art prin-
ciples that Hamlet proclaimed to the
players. They, in the very torrent,
tempest and the whirlwind of passion
have acquired and begot temperance
that gives it srnoothness. They are not
''too tame" Discretion is their tutor,
and they o'erstep not the modesty of ma
ture. And on no other occasion is this
splendid national Characteristic Of
smooth. discreet behavior and appro-
pirate action SO noticeable or so CRATE
fulaswhen number OF Japanese gather
. together about the dcathbed, the coffin
or the grave of friend or kinsman.
The japanese arc rs courteous as they
are theatrical and artistic. Their cour-
: ,esy and their art are closely allied
Their keen sense Of courtesy, and their
unflagging practice of it, has, believe,
us much 10 do with the quietness and
fitness of their funerals us has their fine
artistic instinct. They are as nation
even prouder and more studious, think,
Of their courtesy than Of their artistic
excellence. "Cry; it will do you eood!"
l said once to n poor Japanese woman
who, crouching beside her dying hus-
bnnd, was controlling herself with an
effort that would, 1 feared, make her ill.
She laid her little, slim brown finger
uron her trembling red lip and shook
her head. then whispered: "lt might
disturb him." "Cry; it will do you
good!" said the next day when the
man was dead, and she seemed almost
PROSTATE with grief and overenforccd
self-eontrol. "It would be most rude
to make a hideous noise before the
"ncrcd dead" came the soft reply.-St.

The Parisinn Cafe.

One of the most remarkable features
Of Paris Is the cafe. There is nothing
just like it in England or America, nor,
for that matter. anywhere else in the
world. The, popularity of the Partisan
cafe is that the guests sit and do their
eating and drinking, not within the
building, but out upon the sidewalk.
During the day, when the patrons are
few, they keep close to the building; in
the shade of the awning; but at night
the chairs greatly increase in number,
and push far out upon the flags and
often beyond the curbstone into the
roadway, and the pedestrian, as he pass
es along the boulevards, which for miles
are thickly lined with these shades, is
continually threading his way between
and among the chairs and tables where
the Parisians, with their wives and
sweethearts, are eating, slipping their
drinks, and enjoying life as apparently
no other people in the world enjoy it,

Sammy Kelly Wins the Fight.

Birmingham, England, March O.
The fight between Billy Plimmer, of
England, and Sammy Kelly, of New
York, for 92OO a side and a purse Of
e4O0 pounds, too place tonight before
the Olympic Sporting Club, of this city,
and was won by Kelly in twenty
rounds.
There was a large number of specta-
tors present. to witness the fight, the
hall being crowded to its fullest capac-
ity. Both men entered the ring weigh
ing 114k pounds each. The betting at
the start was slightly in favor Of the
Englishman, the odds on him being 5
to 4. In the first three rounds, Plim-
mer took a strong lead, to the great
satisfaction of his supporters. Kelley
appeared to be quite slow and he was
a target for Planners left.
In the fourth round Plimmer pun
ished Kelley freely, but the latter fire.
Quently missed his round right hand
swings. At the end of the tenth Plim-
mer had become a strong and
he was backed at 3 to 1 to win.
To the end of the sixteenth round,
the Englishman had the best of a pref

mination, and Plimmer, in the eigh-
teenth round showed that his previous
exertiOn had tired him. Kelley had the
best of this round, but Notwithstanding
this, Plimmer was a strong favOrite in
the nineteenth round. Kelley now re-
doubled his efforts, realizing that 9th
ing but a knockout would win the
fight for him.. Amid tremendous ex-
citement he hustled the Englishman
around the ring, gaining the upper
hand. When the twentieth and last
round was half finished, Kelley land
ed a crushing blow on his opponents
jaw. Plimmer staggered, and Kelley
following up his advantage, landed an
other smasher on his throat, knocking
him down. The Englishman rose, after
min seconds. Kelley again nit him
and knocked him out. ten second be
fore the time of the fight would have
been up. The victory of The American
was a sensational one.

A NORTHERN MAN IN AFRICA.

Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, who wrote a
very entertaining work on the German
fight for existence in NapOleOnic times,
which we read with much entertain
ment, is now writing a series for Har-
per on white Mans Africa" His last
is the fifth part and is entitled "The
Last Of a Great Black Nation" If we
had space we could CLEAN much that is
new, interesting and valuable. He is
a good traveller and sets forth what he
sees and learns in clear English. DR..
Theall, ''the Tacitus OF Africa" told
Mr.. Bigelov that if Africa was ever
"to amount to anything it must be a
white mans country" Strange to
say the doctor said that now a white
man will not work beside a black man.,
no matter how many laws are passed,
declaring the two to be equal" The
French, English, Germans, etc. They
have the same %prejudices against the
negro that the blowing, sentimental,
ignorant north has today. The south
is the only part of the world where
the negroes and the whites will work
together. In Africa the negroes do
not like to work. How is it in the
United States?
Mr.. Bigelow found the negroes in the
parts of Africa he visited very much
like those in our own country. He
says there are both sorts there as here
-mean and low. as we'll as of a bet
ter kind. He says: Il am confident
that if a given number Of negroes were
picked up hap-hazard from the differ
ent portions Of Africa. and then
brought to Virginia or Louisiana,
dressed after the name Of American
negroes, they would attract no more
attention on the streets Of New Or
leans or Richmond than they do now
along the Zambesi or the Caledon."
The pictures on pages 632, 63S and GAO
authorize this opinion. He says the
Africans are really merely children in
mental development" and can only
make progress under the guidance Of
white people," They are managed
with astonishing ease by a few whites.
Africa, but he would lie and cheat and
deceive with uncommon readiness.
He throws real and new light to US
upon the negroes as to the Christian
religion. He thinks the reports of mis-
%sionaries very misleading. He says
the missionaries think that because a
black man calls himself a Christian,
he therefore ceases to be a heather.
Indeed, the African is most Indifferent
to religious matters, n will agree to
almost any articles of faith, provided
he can see some material interest ad-
vanced." He enlarges here, but this
much must do. Moshesh was a pro-
found hypocrite, using Christianity as
a cloak to disguise his plans and as
a lever to hoist him o his enc
mics. He died a heather. To the last
he was under the influence of witch
doctors and other local medicine
men," The author has made a very
careful examination of many volumes
of missionary reports. He says they
are a to the credulity of
men DC enough to know better" The
negroes make fairly good soldiers when
we'll disciplined by the whites and COM
manded by them. In uniform they look
like the negro soldiers of our own land
You can get a good deal of instruction
from Mr.. Bigelow's papers concerning
the native African. much ais as to
