A Serious Word to Parents.
This is not. as one mijjrlit im
Uffino from the caption, u swoot
girl (traduuto essay. On tho con
trary, it is a serious word to those
who have the tritiniiift of tin'
comiii'tiiion of tlio country. "The
American lxy is leing ruined by
the iiidulovnoe. of bis mother,"
said a prominent educator recent
ly, speaking out of the fullness
of his observation and regret.
This is a grave accusation, and
yet there is much reason in it.
It would have been mole just to
have said that the mother is help
ing to do the s toiling, rather than
to put the whole blame upon her,
for the average American father
is not all one's fancy might paint
in the way of a home discip
linarian. Too often he is entire
ly negligent of his rightful share
in the government of the chil
dren, lie is tired or sleepy or
nervoim when he returns from
business, and declines to he
worried with the "small attairs"
of the children. Nothing dis
agreeable must enter into his
fireside hours, so the mother
decrees, and so covers up the
faults and failings of the children.
It may be in this very xint that
she is most to be blamed, but
probably she knows Iwst the man
with whom she has to deal. The
average father, when appealed
to for support in enforcing dis
cipline, is apt to take one of two
extremes ; he is either too severe
or he repudiates any obligation
in the matter, declaring the moth
er must finish whnt she has lie
gun. Hut while all this is true
alnnit the negligent fathers, the
fact remains that the twst Ixiys,
the lxys w ho more fully meet the
requirements of duty in oil its
lines, are those whose mothers
are gixxl disciplinarians. The

A Beautiful Extract.
It was night. Jerusalem slept
a h quietly amid her hills as a child
upon tho breast of its mother. The
noiseless sentinel stood like a statue
at his post, and tho philosopher's
lamp burned dimly in the rec ss of
his chamber. I'tit a moral dark
ness involved the nations in its
enlightened shadows. Reason shed
a faint glimmer over the minds of
nion like the old and insiiflicicnt
shining of a star. The immorUlity
of man's spiritual nature was tin
known, his relations unto heaven
undiscovered, and his future destiny
obscured in a cloud of mystery. It
was at this period that tuofoimsof
ethereal mould hovered 'm 'it the
land of God's clu sen people. They
seemed like sister angels, sent to
earth on Bonie embas-y of love.
The oio of majestic sta'ur and
well formed limb, which snowy
drapery hardly concealed, in her
erect bearing and steady uye ex
hibited tho highest degree of
strength and confidence. Her right
arm was extended in an impressive
gesture up ward where night ap
peared to huve placed her darkest
pavilion ; while on her left reclined
her delicate companion, in form and
countenance the contrast of the
other, fcilii) was drooping like a
flower moistened by refreshing
dewB, and her bright hut troubled
eyes scanned thum with ardent hut
varying glances. Suddenly a light
like the sun tUshed out from the
heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exulting songs tho ascending
6Ur of lieihlehem. Years rolled
away, and the Stranger was 6ecn in
Jerusalem. lie was a meek, un
assuming man, whose happiness
seemed to consist in acts of benevo
lence to the human race. There
wero deep traces of sorrow on His
countenance, though no one knew
why He grieved, for He lived in the
practice of every virtue, and loved
by all tho good and wise. l!y and
by it was rumored that the stranger
worked miracles, that the blind saw,
and the dumb speaks, the dead
arose, the ocean moderated its
chafing tide; the very thunder
articulated : lie is the Son of (iod !
Knvy assailed Him to death.
Thickly guarded He slowly ascend
ed the hill of Calvary. A heavy
cross bent Him to the earth. Hut
Faith leaned on his arm, and Hope,
dipping her pinions in His bhx.d,
mounted to the 6kies. Ex.

Knrion Mr. A iky Nkws: -I asked
Mr. C. before we left homo to notify
you that we wero going boat riding,
nut ho failed to do so ; and now, af
ter a s.-ril of 3,.r'Mi miles, ho says he
is entirely too busy to write.
Wo left New York Saturday, the
I Mi inst, at l'i o'clock a. in., and
have traveled continuously ever
since withoct a single stop to take
on or let oil passengers.
I am seated in the library of this
floating palace that is gently sway
ing from side to side at intervals of
from twelve t fifteen seconds, and
bowing to the approach ng billows
ever and anon, so that it is rather a
diflicnlt task to write. Our party
consists l uev. W, L. Shernll, Dr.
and Mrs. Kent and Mr. Herring,
together with my entiie family.
We have had smooth sailing with
tho exception of one day, which
brought forth rsin, wind and high
seas, and yon may guess what fol
lowed ! tJ'iito a large per cent, of
the passengers failed to put in an
appearance in the dining room.
Many, however, including Mr. (;.,
have taken three square meals daily
sinco leaving New York. We are
wearing our winter clothing and find
onr wraps, overcoats and steamer
rugs a necessity while sitting on
deck. Our steamer, the "Staten
dam," of tho Holland Ainci ican
Line, is quite an elegant vessel,
measuring five hundred and thirty
feet in length and six'ytwo feet
in breadth, and is of lo,."io tons
burthen. I am informed that we
have on hoard upwards of tive hun
dred passengers, besides a crew of
one hundred and eighty men. We
have splendid music and many kinds
of games, promenading, singing, con
ferences, flirting, courting, concerts,
etc., for amusement.
(lieat schools of swine fUh oect
sionally attack our good ship, which
makes one wish for gun or hook and
line. Thev are anywhere from 18
inches'to four feet in length. Oth
ers much larger are seen now and
then spurting the water ten or more
feet into the air.
I havo explored this old ship pret
ty thoroughly, but am riot familiar
with all its departments and will
not be when the voyage is ended
The service and faru on this vufat'1
are all that one could wish. Our
six o'clock dinner is an elaborate
aflair, Consisting of from eight to
ten courses. We spend about one
and a half hours at these stately
meals, and no wonder sea sickness
is induced.
We have a nnmlx'r of good Chris
tian people on this ship and a large
per cent, who are professedly riot.
The pool, card and gambling tables
and drink saloon ate well patroiii.-d.
Wine and other drinks are solved
at each meal, but at least six persons
on board liivu never ordered any
thing stronger than cotTee.
The neaand strange experience
incident to a long re voyage will
ever remain as a pleasant niemorv.
Wo sighted land this morning, ia
small promontory of Silly Island
just south of 1 reland i. We are now
entering the Knglish Channel and
to in rrow morning at ti o'clock, we
hope to east anchor at l'oiilogne,

A child died on Sunday after wo
left New York and was placed in a

large iron halls and lowered into tho

Three days out, a man in the steer
age depariuient, who had been in
dulging iu too much strong drink
for some months, became suddenly
possessed with the idea that he must
throw the passenger overboard, and
forthwith undertook to carry the
purpose into execution, but be was

Tried to Kill His Wife.
In defatlft of -a fc.MKUMl justified
Ixuid, Silas Seagraves, a white man,
was committed to jail at Durham
to await the action ot the grand jury
upon the charge of secret assault,
having three times attempted to
poison his wife. 1 he defendant was
arrested upon a warrant sworn out
by tho hrothor of Mrs. Seagraves.
Iteccntly, it scem, Seagravee form
ed a great dislike for his wife and
ho threatened to kill her on several
occasions. A few days ago she was
drinking her coffee when she dis
covered that there was something
wrong and atopixxl. It is well that
she did because in a few minutes
the small amount that she had drunk
made her deathly sick. It was d is
covered that Paris green had been
put in her coffee. The other fiend
ish attempts on the poor woman's
life were similar. If justice is
meted out to Seagraves be will not
soon make another attempt to kill
the wife he promised to protect.
MeKtnley's Glaring Blunders.
Charles F. Uacon, formerly law
partner of ex Senator Hill, says : "I
shall support liryan in this cam
paign, first because of the strong
anti imperialistic plank of the Kan
eas City platform, and second, be
cause of the glaring blundets of Mc
Kinley's administration and the
character of the clique that controls
him. In 1S I voted for Mchlin
ley, although I have always been a
Democrat. I believe the imperialis
tic tendency of the administration
is of more vital concern to the coun
try than any danger from 16 to 1,
for no financial legislation can be
enacted with a Republican Senate.
I shall vote for Mr. llryan because
the Kansas City platform represents
true Americanism."

Cause of the War With China.
We have said that it was commer
cia! greed and territorial ambition
of Kuropeati governments which ha
stirred up the Chineso fury, and
have denied that the Christian mis
sionary was responsible for tho
present condition in the empire.
The latter statement must be made,
however, with a certain qualification
It is true tha' the story of Protestant
miisons in China -is with rare ex
(options a story of sacrifice, and
patient labor in behalf of the natives,
which they thcinselves have always
iieen quick to rc-cogmz'i and repay.
As much, however, cannot be said
in behalf of the ( 'atholic missions in
that country. They hav never
failed to further their work by the
same methods wliich make them in
a mariiier Biiccessfui in America and
Furope. They rely upon political
power f.ud prestige. Whenever one
of their missionaries is insulted, or
fine of their stations destroyed they
call upon their government, it it be
i-atnoiic, to exact extreme compen
sation. It will be remembered that
even Protestant (iermany required
of China almost a whole province as
com pens, ttiori fur the death of two
Catholic Missionaries, while France,
by its treaty with China, compels
the latter to recg-ii.e the bishop ol
the Catholic mission, as equal in
political power to the Covcrtior of
the province in w hich he is located
