NORTHERN HATRED.

 Will the hatred of tho South which has ranked in the hearts of the leaders Of the North never die out or be exhausted? This is q question which naturally arises in the mind when we read the speech made by Senator Blaine in the United States Senate few days ago,

 No matter what may have been MT. Blaine's pretended object in introducing his resolution, it is clearly evident that Mr. Thurman stated the true inwardness of it when he said in replying to that gentlcman's remarks, that it was a string upon which to hang long har- angues to arouse the old fires of sec tional hatred. The great contest of another Presidential election IS com ing on and 1t Is necessary, in order to secure the triumph of the republi- can party, to fire the Northern heart and awaken old war prejudices by appealing to the sectional feelings of the North. Hence Mr. Blaine's res olution, and hence his bitter and re. markable speech "a beech which could scarcely have been less bitter If 1t had been directed against some hostile race of foreigners; and most remarkable, on account of the glar- ing isrepresentations contained in it. A pleasing hope was aroused throughout the country, some few weeks ago. at the slght of the sym patliy and brothcrly fellow feeling exhibited by ali parts of the North toward the Southern people who were passing under one of the most

 malignant epidemics ever experi- cnced here. The cheerful and spon- taneous assistance that was sent South gave birth to the hope that there was not only to be union of States from hcnceforth, but union, in reality, of hearts and hopes-a union of peace aud brotherly love, in winch all the embittered passions and sectional animosities of the past should be buried and forgotten. This hope, alas, will never be realized if the people of the North endorse such speeches as Mir. Blainc's. It depends entirely upon the reception which his speech and similar har. angnes meet amongst the people of the North whether or not we shalf ever again see true return of ami cable feelings between the North and South. The endorsement Of Mir Biaine's speech by the people of the North will mean tEat they are willing to recognize Us of the South as having equal rights with them just as soon as we all turn re2ubli cans, and no sooner. If the South was solidly republican it would be all right. But when we are forced to combine and go solidlY against the republican party to protect our selves from total extinction as to any rights which we may have iu the Union, then it is all wrong. It is to be hoped there is too much patriot ism and too much of feeling of common-country fellowship yet left in the masses of the Nor1h for MT. Blaine's narrow ideas to prevail.

We understand that the friends of

 Miss Sophie Crease, of this city, will make earnest efforts to have her elected journal clerk of the senate in the next General Assembly. She was a candidate for this position at the meeting of the. last legislature and cane within oile or two votes of

 being elected. We hope her merits

 will be more fully appreciated by

 the next senate and that that body

 will confer upon her an honor which

 her worth as most estimable lady and her abilities as an intelligent and accomplished scribe justly enti

 tie her. Miss Sophie Crease is a daughter of the late John Crease, for many years treasurer of the state; she is almost life long citizen of the state, has a host of friends every where, and is perhaps more widely known than any other lady in the state. - Gazette.

 We think the Gazette never put the same short space to better use than it has done in the above para graph. We say this not only be- cause the particular subject of the notice, Miss Crease, is worthy and accomplished lady, who will, we trust, be unanimously elected to the position to which she is eminently well qualified; but, because, also, we think it right on general princi- pies that the Indies should be given a chance to make themselves useful. 1t is creditable to any lady to aspire to position where she can be of some use to her State and her fellow. cltizcns, and we take it as a favor able sign of the times to see this tendency rapidly gaining grounds among the fair sex. and to see a growing tendency to recognize the ability and worth of our female citi zens as active members of our busi- ness circles. Why should female, who, perhaps, is far better qualified for business than nine .tenths of the hobby swells who seek these easy births, be debarred from putting her abilities and talent to some practical account? Why should the sphere of woman's usefulness be so circum scribed and hedged about, as to de- bar her from making herself useful at anything but household drudge. V? If there were more female attachees about our legislative halls and pub lie departments there might not only be more efficiency. but there would undoubtedly be more neatness, bet ter order and less indeccpcy. The refining tendency which it would have would work re form much and oitentimes needed, and instead of our department offices being places of resort where loafers do most love to congregate to indulge in coarse jests and squanaer time, we would find them models of business indus try and neatness.

 We say give the ladies a chance, and whenever one of them seeks a place for which she is qualified and we shall use our vote and influence to put her in possession of the position.

The SoUP-HoUsE.-This institution, un-
der the superintendence of the ladies OF the
Christian Women's City Mission, is work
ing quietly but very efficiently in their
noble undertaking. The visiting commit
tees are daily seeking out the poor and
needy, and bestowing such charities as
have been placed at their disposal. Any
contributions Of money, cast-off clothing,
and particularly shoes. are very much
needed, and find ready distribution.


.a a great and noble part Of their work was
the establishment of the soup-bouse, No:
1414 Franklin street. Hot coffee and bread
is sold or given away each morning and af-
ternoon, and hot soup each day from II A.
NJ. to P. NJ; so that at each hour.of the
day those in want of these -aubstaD tias-to
MANY neceSSarieS Of life-may procure them
here. To give an idea OF the work which
is going on there we may state that last
week there were given away to the desti-
tute 479 quarts OF soup. Two hundred and
seventy quarts were sold at three cents per
ouart-scarcey enough to defray expenses,
but big price to many who are out OF
work and have no means OF earning wages.


Other matters have also engaged the at
tention Of these noble women. They have
projected night-school for men and boys
at the soup-house, and enlisted number OF
young men as teachers and co-workers.
These will meet there tonight to organize
and divide the labor. The school will be
put in operation on Monday night at 1880

movement will also open school for sew

After mass, and before the ceremony of
absolution at the catatalque, Rev. Father
Janssens deliyereda a beautiful discourse APP
propriate to the occasion, In the course Of
which he alluded to the mourning decora-
tions in the Church as an exterior mark OF
the grief OF the faithful at the sad bereave-
ment the Church had sustained, and spoke
Of the more beautiful interior decoration OF
the soul, as evinced by the impressive sight
Of so many OF the children OF the Church
approaching the Holy Sacrament and Offer
ing up their communions for the soul Of
their recently-deceased pontiff. He said
the day was not only day Of sorrow on
account OF the death Of the great and good
man, but was also day Of Joy because Of
the knowledge that his troubles on this earth
were ended, and that he was now enjoying
in Heaven the reward Of his many good
deeds performed for the Church. He also
briefly alluded to the German nation as be-
ing somewhat nearer connected with the
late Pope on account Of the sufferings Of
the faithful in that country during the past
few years.


Father Janssens concluded by telling his
hearers to be ever mindful OF the last words
of the Holy Father" Defend the Church
which have loved so well"-and eXhorted
them to remain always faithful to the
Church, and inculcate the same spirit in
their children.


The absolution ceremony at the catd-
ifatque was then performed.
