in Germany, and as it goes is a harmless
custom, the source of no little amusement,
and in the case we are about to relate was
productive of something akin to “fun alive."
At a party in this city, a short time ago,a
gentleman and lady went through the core-

the lady stipulated that if she should be

he agreed to draw his greenback: for the
purchase of the aforesaid ring, providing she,
in the event of losing, would permit him to
to kiss her in public—say at the first party
they attended after the wager was decided.
This was agreed ti, and each wen; home

The Virginian.
Dr. Woolsev of the Yale Law School, con.
eerning the capture of the Virginius and
the treatment of her passengers and crew,
in the lightof international law :—
' nu. weensur’s morons.
The recent case of the Virginius presents
itself to us under two aspects. _ First, the
seizure of the vessel was irregular, or it is
claimed so to be ; secondly, the cruel treat-
ment of the persons, or of seats of the per-
sons fbund On board, calls for our attention.
These two points have no necessary con-
nection. The‘aeinure would have had just
the same legal or illegal character, if the
captured persons had been; spared. If we
could show that the proceeding in carrying
the Virginius into a Cuban port was right,
we might fail to show that there was any
‘humanity, or right in whatever was done
afterward. As this last part of the transac-
tion is most easily disposed of, I shall en-
deavor to dispatch it in a few words. As a
general rule the indepenence of nations im-
plies that they are the sole judges, each of
them, as to what their laws and 'punish-
meats shall be,.and to a considerable extent
as to their usages in war. ‘Na‘tions control
each other, however, is the usages of war
by retaliation and toe. degree by treaty.
But let there be some wholesale. cruelty
practiced, as extreme severity toward pris-
oners, or treatment of rebels as traitors, or
of insurgent privateers as pirates, or let the,
laws and feelings of the people be so san-
guinary toward insurgentsdhat- they give
no quarter, and it will instantly arouse‘the
sensibilities of the world. Other nations
will justly remonstrate, and if unheeded,
may take further steps. Thus if, in our late
war, we had treated the prisoners taken
from the confederates as traitors, Great
Britain and France, for instance, might
rightfully have interfered to put an end to
such proceedings, either by threafs or by'
actually recognising, the confederate states
ward the Greeks led to the interference
which ended in the battle of Navarino and
the recognition of Grecian independence.
.Dr.'.Wheston says of these transactions, that
theClr‘ristian powers were eminently justi-
‘ifledl'in3.their interference “to secure a whole
'uation not merely from .‘religious persecu:
tion, but from the cruel alternative of being
transported, from their native. land into
Egyptianbdndage oriexterminated by their
merciless oppressors. Theiprineiple of this
measure Was fully justified by the great
paramount. law. 'of self-preservation. The
interference of the Christian powers to put
an end to this bloody contest might there-
fore have been safely rested on this ground
alone," etc. (Elements 2, page 1, section x.)
But one might ask, isnot such a measure
a ,yiolation of national sovereignty? It is
an extreme measure, allowablcjn‘exlreme
cases, and therefore .dangerous and only to
be applied with the utmost care and moder-
ation. But we cannot get» rid of such in-
such a ring as she had bargained for. No
fear (if her losing. She would like to see the
masculine who could outgeneral her. In‘
deed she would.

his fair antagonisi had advertised him as a
c‘fist," whom it would be so easy to capture,
his pride was touched, and he resolved to go
for that kiss with all the energy he could
command. He made up his mind that if he
should fail he would ever afterbein favor
of woufiu suffrage, and shake hands across
the bloody chasm with Anna Dickinson and
OMVBL'Anthony. In truth, he had pretty
much made up his mind that he ought in
such a case leave the capital and take up
his residence in »New;Haven-in the:‘.‘Third
ward,” where he could vote for Woman sufé
frage every day in the year. But. as we re-
marked above, he didn’t intend to fail. He
had already hit upon a plan that he thought
would work. That plan was burnt cork.
One night, not long ago,-Charlie got him-
self up for the occasion in a' manner that
would have done credit to the “boss" Ethi-
opian delineator, and headed for “Lord’s
Hill.” The lady lives in that direction, and
if this was not a strictly true story we would
give her name. When Charlie started from
home, he thought his disguise was-complete,
but by the time he reached the post-office
his faith in burnt cork had shrunk almost
as much as some of the Wall street securi-
ties, and be greatly feared detection. To
test his disguise he dropped into Conklln’s
where he wss‘kuown to all hands. He ask-
ed the price of a pair of gloves. “Fifty
cents," answered the gentlemanly clerk.
“Too much,” said Charlie. “All do money
I’se got in the world am fifteen cents.” Just
then “Conk” stepped hp and told him that
owing to the hard times business wasn’t
quite so brisk as usual, and he could make
a liberal discount on the gloves. “In fact,”
said he, “I'll make you a present of ’em."
Charlie put the gloves in his pocket and
went out, feeling that his disguise was com-
plete. g g _, ‘ ' . .
Twenty-miiutes later a “colored gentle-
man” stood it the front door of a certain ar-
istocratic mansion “on the hill,” waiting for
_ Miss .—-, whom the servant had gone to
summon. She soon made her appearance,
Wondering whats colored man could possi-
bly want of her. " And slot until she reached
out her hand for d‘é pr’ofi'ered package, and
heard the aggravating word “philopena i”
did she comprehend the trick. A trifle less
than one second after Charlie heard the
word “wrelch l” and he glided down the
walk, folloived by a cast-iron umbrella rack,
which was the only thing that the indigusat'
Kiss ——4— could get hold of. .
“I don’t care," she said, “he is just as mean
as he can be.” Then she went to her room
and gave Vent to her outraged feelings in
the usual feminine way—that is, she had a
right down good cry, all by herself. She
wouldn’t care ‘so very“ much if ”Charlie
wouldn’t tell for it; [but she anew well
enough he would, and he did. ' The very
next day every girl and fellow in their cir-
cle knew it, and poor Miss -—-- feltnwfully
“worked up" in consequence; The girls all
declared that she was too high spirited to
let him kiss her, afterplaying such an un-
gentlemanly trick. ‘ But what could she do?
Hadn‘t she promised? The only way she
could escape paying the wager was to ab-
sent herself from parties. This wasan al-
ternative she would 'be little likely to ac-
eept ? What then?
To make along story short, a little party
was given last week to which both Charlie
and the young lady were invited. Charlie
was on hand early, dressed in his very best,
' ready and {determined to claim 'the forfeit,
When the party had all assembled, and no
Miss —-——— being present, Charlie; who had.
gloated over" his triumph in advance, was
evidently annoyed. Just then a lady, close-
ly veiled, came into the room, and was in-
troduced as Miss , Charlie stepped brisk-
ly forward, ascribing the fact of her being
veiled to motives of delicacy, and raised the
veil. Did he kiss her? N o ! Amid the most
terrific pests of laughter, he retreated to the
opposite side of the room. The tables were
turned. The handsome-featured Miss—~—
stood before him, but her handsome com-
plexion was-black as burnt cork could make
it. Charlie didn’t. claim the kiss. Burnt
cork was at a discount—Hartford 1319:6133

. Now, whether one case of inhumanity, and
that a result of judicial trial, would call for

is no danger of its repetition, isa point
which want of a complete knowledge of
the circumstances puts it out of our power
to decide. It may be that the just wrath 0‘

way. Ilesvc this to be decided by those
who can get greater light and more reliable
accounts than have come to me.

ore of the Virgi,dius1p..«z...tti¢h seas.
Were the papers =sufileieut to requircmn
the vessel should be followed to go on its
way? Was there reasonable ground that
the Spaniards had to believe that the vessel
was really bound to the neighborhood of
an insurrection in order 10 aid in it? Was
this, I ask, enough to authorize seizing the
vessel and carrying her for trial into a
Cuban port? In regard to the circumstan-
'ces, we must here take much 6n faith,hut
the character and destination of the vessel
seem to be admitted.
What was the ofi‘enseof the vessel, is the
point which we would examine, If we
have a correct understanding of its charac-
ter, the offense was not piracy according to
the law of nations, for their was no animus
furends', and no intention to do anything
except to transport certain men'and goods
from one port to another. It was not trea-
son of course,.for any but the Spaniards
who were on board and engaged in the en.
terprise. fit was not a breach of blockade
for there was', as I understand, he blockade.
It was not technically carrying contraband
of war. It is difiicnlt to define the crime,
but it was a very great crime, no other than
for a captain and vessel to be engaged dc-
‘ing what'wa‘s- neally a hostile .aet. . Even
more than carrying contraband, it was ear.
rying officers of high rank in the rebellion
as near to the scene of armed contest as
possible. The crime was not' piracy, at
least according to ,the.ipw,.of nations, al~
though possibly piracy by Spanish law.
It is to be observed also that the vessel,
though nominally American, seems to
have belonged to Cubans, alga to have been
engaged in no regular commerce. Now in
such a case as this, do the ordinary laws
respecting the right of visit and capture
apply? It seems to us that this is an ex-
treme case, which the ordinary law of
nations does not meet, and that the Spanish
captain of the Tornado was put to a neces-
sity ofmaking‘ the capture for the sake of
the peace of the island. lt was a case of
necessary self-defense for preventing war.
, There is another case outside of ordinary
law by which this may be illustrated. The
steamer Caroline in 1837 was employed by
some Canadian insurgents to carry men and
ammunition across the Niagara river.
This being discovered, an expedition .was
prepared to capture and destroy the vessel
.on the Canadian side, but did not reach it
until it had returned into New York
waters. There was great indignation felt'
at this proceeding, which involved violation
of neutral territory, besides other acts
similar to those that occurred in the case of
the Virginius.
In the correspondence to which this act
gave rise,‘ Mr. Webster said that such
violation of neutrality could be justified
only by a “necessity of self defense, instant,
overwhelming, having no choice of means
and no moment of dcliberfition." Lord
Ashburton contended (this was in 1842)
that such a necessity existed,and regretted
that no explanation of the act was made at
the time of its occurrence. Can :any one
doubt that a strong nation, that the United
States for instance, would have preferred to
take 'the risk of acting in an irregular way
rather than allow such an expedition to
come into its territory? It seems idle to
“'1 to judge 3110b 9359' by ordinary, rules.
In the present instance the Spanish c'ofld
not say there was instant, overwhelming
necessity for self-defense, but they could'
urge that they were practically invaded by
their own insurgents, that it was necessary
to seize the vessel while they could, as
otherwise the insurrection would assume
new proportions—in short, that. the viola-
tion of neutrality was necessary .and that
the circumstances called for instant action.

Another case from which we can draw
illustrations is that of Koala, who having
already made the usual declarations prepa-
ratory to being naturalized, was seized in
Smyrna, when provided with a passport
there by the American consul, taken by the
boat's crew of an Austrian frigate and put
in irons. It was reported that he was to be
removed by Austrian officials at Smyrna
into Austria; and the captain of a public
vessel of the United States prepared to re-
sort to force unless he were released. This
led-to his being put under the protection of
the, French consul until the governments
which were at issue cOuld .agrec. Now,
would it have been in acéordance with
international law to use force in protecting
him? Certainly not in ordinary cases.’
But here was an extreme case. Turkey
was passive and impotent, and could afiord
no protection. .If Kozta had not been
helped at this moment, he could not have
been helped at all. The necessity justified,
as it sebms to have done in the case of the
Virginius. .
Here let me ask what have the consuls of
the United Statesbeen accustomed to do in
the West Indies in such cases as this of the
Virginius? Do they think it their duty to.
give the cfficial papers when. they know that
the transaction is .utterlly illegal ?. And if
this were so—l state it hypothetically—
would it not show to the Spaniards that no’
reliance could be placed on our authorities
in‘those waters to protect them against al-
lowing expeditions really warlike to proceed
under their very eyes against Cuba?
You will see that this“ is in acme respects a
puculiar case. There is no war in Cuba and
yet there is, war. The Virginius‘ was an
American vésselfand yet not an American
vessel. All the defense of theiesael rested
on sham, and the state of things -in Cuba was
in one sense a sham. The only reality about
the matter; was the terrible one that broke
thorugh the shame, that said “this vessel
means war, and we mean to take it for what
it is! Would you have us give up our right
of self-defense against war for a sham ?"
There is a conflict in the case betWeen un-
just law and unlawful justice.
tion' must be very careful how it breaks
through the fine network of what is lawful,
be in a state of armed insurrection’ and an
American vessel to be engaged in carrying
from some port of Spain important Irish
leaders, as well as ammunition and money.
Does anybody believe for a moment that the
government of Great Britain would hesitate
to arrest the vessel, when there was great
risk that a half-extinguished rebellion wOuld
be lighted up again by the arrival of new
means of war and of new sympathiz'ers? I
imputc more solid sense to Great Britain.
The lecture was alleged by Governor In-
gersoll and many prominent lawyers, profes-

MR. Suann's Lanna—It is no , wonder
that the managers of the anti-Cuban meetj
in New York suppressed all reference to
Senator Sumner’s letter, asthe senator him-
self seems 'to have. anticipated that they
would. It was a vigorous dash of cold wa-
ter on thosewho are recklessly trying to fan
the flames of a war excitement—not for the
sake of the national honor, but to further the
schemes of interested parties. 'Mr. Sumner
comes down to the cool, sound sense of the
matter. He very significantly points to the
attitude of certain London journals in this
matter, some of which, never very friendly
to the United States, are doing all’ they can
to rouse indignation in this country. We
need to be very careful, he thinks, how we
adjust our policy to opinions received from
that quarter; they would be too glad to in-.
volve us in a wir with Spain. They do not
like republicanisns in Spain, and would on-
ly delight to have it crushed by republican-
ism in America. Such would evidently be
the result of causing the repulsican govern-
ment of Spain to lose Cuba. Nor does Mr.
Sumner admit that Our “flag" is so closely
bound up with filibustcring enterprises as to
he necessarily dishonored by the vicissitudes
of the latter. The country is glad to hear
these refreshing suggestions from one whose
patriotism and largencss of views are no-

we have not wrought ourselves into any such
fury about the Virginius and her fate as we
have witnessed from afar, in some other parts
of the country. It may be that we have less
cympathy with filibustering expeditions gen-
erally, and therefor that we experience less
annoyance when they are frustrated and
destroyed. It may be too that having fewer
‘Cuban patriols’ domiciled among us, we are
more ready to let the struggle for indepen-
dence in that island take care of itself. Our
people are as much shocked as any in the
world at the spectacle which has been pre-
sented of wholesale butchery under the or-
ders of the authorities at Santiago dc Cuba,
but they regard this as an outrage on human-
ity find not an affront to the nat'onal honor
of the United States. It is maintained here
as positively as it is anywhere, that our na-
tional flag is not to be taken down with im-
punity from any mast head at which it is
rightfully flying. But there exists a deep
disgust at seeing it hanging at the masthead
of an outlaw vessel and giving its sancu'on
to an expedition of pirates, and we are in no
extraordinary haste to go into a passion, if it
isdecently taken down, even though the do-
ing so is a little irregular and out of the usual
course. The flag was a great deal more
dishonored while flying at the masthead Of
the Virginius, than in being taken down by
the. boarding officer from the Tornado."
A rather serious question has arisen con-
cerning the right of the Virginius to sail
under the American flag, and to claim its
protection. There is no doubt but that its
papers were fraudulently procured, for no
one questions that it was intended for a fili-
bustering expedition. Butthere are reasons
for thinking that the Virginian may never
have been a United States ship, though it is
true the reports are cdaflictin . One says
that, it was owned by an Eng ishman, and
another claims that the S aniards them-
selves owned it. Our state apartment is at
present at work tracking out its history.
Meanwhile there are different opinions as
to the lawfulness of the capture. Some,
like President Woolsey, Mr. Sumner, and
Republican, claim that the capture was law-

Postal ltatlstles.-_
- Wasmxoron,November21.—The follow-
ing is from the eli‘tborate report of the post-
master general: The ordinary revenues of
the post-ofilce department for the fiscal ear
ended June, 1873, were $22,900,741, an the
expenditures of all kinds were $29,805,945.
The estimated expenditures for the year
1873 were $83,929,912, and the lotal’esti-
mated revenues $29,093,549, leaving a defi-
ciency to be a propriated out of the gener-
al treasury of £4,686,883. . This does not in-
clude $1,225,000 for the mail service be-
tween Ssn Francisco and Japan and China,
and between the United States and Brazil,
and between San Franciscomnd the Sand-
wieh Islands. It is stated that counting all
the railway lines, both‘wa‘ys, the mail ser-
vice over them is 34,925 es daily..Com-
paring the year 1878 wit 1879, the rate of
increase in the total number of letters ex-
changed with foreign countries is 12 2-7 per
cent. and the rate of increase in the amount
of pogtages thereon was 8 per cent. The
increase in the number of letters exchanged
with'European countries was 10% per cent.,
and the increase of postage thereon amoun-
ed to 7 7,-8 per cent. A postal convention,
establishing and regulating an exchange of
corres ondcnce between the United States
and span, by means of direct lines of
steamers between the seaposts of the two
countries, has been formally agreed upon
and executed with the charge d’afi'aires of
Japan, at Washington, and is to be carried
into effect six months after its ratification
by the Government of Japan. ' .
The postmaster general recommends that
a provision be made by law for theimme-
diste establishment of the postal telegraph,
and for the construction of all such lines as
may be needed, under the direction of com-
petent officers of the engineer corps of the
army. The experience they acquired dur-
ingthe war would enable them to do the
work in the most'ecouomical and satisfac-
tory manner. -

Camisole—A successful manufacturer of
chromos writes to us, concerning a promi-
nent evangelical paper: “Under a judicious
distribution of chromos, advertised as worth
fi‘om $5 to $10 each, but really costing less
than thirty cents, their subscription list was
brought in three years from 25,000 to 180,000.
Yes; but suppose that‘a religious-paper has
some slight misgivings about the perfect
honesty of saying that a chromo which costs
thirty cents. is worth five or ten dollars;
how is it to succeed then? You will have to
furnish easy consciences as well as chromos

Tile Hartford Post thinks that the Con-
necticut common schools “are not up to the
standard that should be aimed at," andthat
the cause of the trouble is to be found in the
way in which teacherslure selected— a sys-
tem that leaves them, practically, unaccount-
able to anybody, so long as they secure to
the district its share of the public moue .
It holds with the' State . eache'rs’ Assoc a-
tion that there should b e ination and
certification of teachers by cute. authority
under direction of the State Board of Edn-
cation; that there should be a county or
some such ofilccr, with practical and theo-
retical knowledge of the business of teach-
ing, to whom the teachers should be held
accountable, and whose business it should
beto see that they advance rather than jog
along in the rut into which they fell 35
years ago. At present, the system 'of ap-
pointing teschers is the old~fashioued one,
and The Poet thinks that in the appoint-
ments the interests of the sebo'ol are subor-.
diuated to personal friendship or family
relationship.

When you think-of saints you are apt to
think of very pale, still, persons, who are
all the while wishing they weren't alive,
and all that. My ideal of a salutis‘ abrown
woman, with red arms,w.bo gets up early
in the morning and goes to work for-"others
«who stands the brunt of household work,
nd who bears with children that she did
not bear. That is my saint. Rather a
busy, bustling saint, but she is a saint.
People say of her, “What a homely, good
creature she is." To my-miud that is more
complimentary than to have the pope put
her in the calendar.——H. W. Beecher.

“Harry, where have you beenall morningf'l:
“Down at the pool in the meadow brook,"
“Fishing?” “Yes, but the trout Were wary-—
Couldn’t induce them to lake the.hook."
“Why, look at your coat! You must 'haVe
fallen,
Y our buck’s all covered with leaves and '
moss."
How he laughs, good-natured fellow l
Bad luck fishing makes most men cross.
‘Nclly, the Wrights have called—where
were you?”
“Under the trees by the meadow brook,
Reading, you know, and.it was too lovOy
I never saw such a charming book."
The charming book has pleased her greatly ; .
There’s a happy light in her sweet blue
eyes,
And she hugs the cat in most fervid fashion,
:TO staid old Tabby’s intense surprise. '
Reading? well, yes, but not from a novel.
Fishing? truly, but not with a rod, '
The line is idle, the book neglected;
The water-grasses Whisper and nod.
The sportsman boldland the earnest student
Talk softly of what? Perhtps the weather;
Perhaps—no matter; whatever the subject,
It certainly brings them close together,
It causes their words to be softly spoken,
With many a lingering pause between,
The while the shadows chase the sunbeams
Over the mosses gray and green.
Blushes are needful to its discussion, '
And sott sly glances from downcast eyes,
In whose blue depths are lying hidden
Loving gladness and sweet surprise.
Trinity Chapel is gay this evening,
Bright with beauty, and flowers, and light;
A full-dressed fisherman stabds at the
chancel,
With Nelly beside him all in white.
The ring is on, the vows arezspoken,
And smiling friends, good fortune wishing,
Tell him‘his is the fairest prize _
Ever brought from a morning’s fishing.

_ Worth muesli:
The Hartford correspondent of the Spring-
field Republican gives the following story:
“Two or three weeks since a merchant in
this city took it into his head, one evening
to look over some old books and papers
which had been put away, in. an old trunk
for many years. The contents belou ed to
hid-wife, and together they looked 0v the
various articles, long forgotten. Their little
daughter picked up a document occasional-
ly and read it, and finally said: ‘What is this
paper, it says thousand dollarson it?’ The
gentleman took it up and'saw that it was an
old county bond,in another state, for $1,000,
with interest at six per cent., under date of
1858. He wrote to ascertain if it hndsny
value; was asked to send it on,and one day
last week received a check for nearly $2,000,
being the accumulation of principal and in-
terest for upwards of fifteen years." The
only drawback to the story is this, that al-
though the aforesaid merchant is one of the
best fellows in town, he doesn’t need the
money half so much as the writer. .

The Land oI'Sum-er.
Br 3. Ir. 130nm.
He who has seen the bird of passage only
ina comparatively southern latitude can
form no idea of the wildness of rupture
with which it hails its return to that far
land where the blooming meadow and the
eternal glacier lie basking together in the
wealth of the summer day, and where the
forest breathes its fairy life under thogburn-
ing dream of the midnight sun. To- the
minds of many the name of Norway sug-
gests a picture of winter-clothed pines and A
far-reaching suowfields, with little or no
relief from the influences of the gentler
seasons; and still, strange as the assertion ,
may seem, Norway is peculiarly the “Land
of Summer." There is 'no doubt that the
birds at least think so, and their testimony
is likely to be trustworthy. And he who
stands in the glory of the morning in the
heart of one of the blooming fjord Valleys,
hears the thousand—voiced chorus of the
valley’s winged songsters welling down
over him from the birch glen overhead, sees
the swiffiendless color-play of the sun-
smitten glaciers, the calm, lucid depth of the
air-clear fjord, and the trembling frailty of
the birch-bough under the sturdy strength
ref,ihcfi_t;,—ahi he whose gene has but once
suasion than mil thihwg 9,0; other per-
the song of the thrush and the cuckodihii-
the fieldfare about the peerless beauty' of -
Norway’s summer. It is not heat that
makes summer; its. life is of a far subtler
and mere ethereal essence. Who knows _.
but the glacier itself may do its share
toward intensifying this life, or at least our
perception of it i’ For the white suowpeak-
ed background, with its remote breath of
winter, grazing the horisou of the mind,
sets summer off into stronger and bolder
relief—From The Atlantic Monthly for

Sleeping in a Cold loom. _
Hall‘sJournal of ‘Health says that cold
bed-chambers always imperil health and in-
vitefl lidiseases. Robust persons may
safely sleep in a-temperature of forty or
under, but the old, the infant and the frail,
should never sleep in a room where the
atmOSphere is much under fifty degrees
Fahrenheit. ~
All know the danger or going direct into-
'the cold from a very warm room. Very
few rooms, churches, theatres and the like
are ever warmer than seventy degrees. If
it is freezing out ofeloors it is thirty degrees I
——the difference being forty degrees more.
Persons will be chilled by such a change in
ten minutes, although they maybe actively
walking.
But to lie still in bed, nothing to promote
the circulation, and breathe for hours arr
atmosphere of forty and even fifty degrees,
when the lungs are always at ninety-eight,
is too great—a change. Mpny persons wake
up in the morning with inflammation of the ’
lungs Who went to bed well, and are su'i-
prised that this should be the case. The.
cause may often be found in sleeping in a
room'the window of which had been fool-
ishly hoisted for ventilation. The water-
eure journals of the country have done an
incalculable injury by the blind and indis-
criminate advice of hoisting the window at
night. .
The rule should be, everywhere during
the part of the year when fires are kept
burning, to avoid hoisting outside Windows.
It is safer and better to leave the chamber ~
door open, as also the fireplace—then there
is a draft up the chimney, while the room
is not so likely to become cold. If there is
‘ some fire in the room all night the window
may be opened an inch. It is safer to sleep
in a bad air all right with a temperature of
over fifty, than in a pure air with a tempe-
rature under forty. The bad air may
sickeu you but cannot kill you; the cold
air can and does kill very Often.

Bishop Williams has addressed a circular
to the Episcopal clergy of the state, appoint-
ing the 8d of December as a day of interces-
sion for missions and missionary work, in
accordance with the suggestion of the arch:
bishop of Canterbury.
A sample of the tyranny of man was . '
shown at a woman’s rights meeting in Titus-
ville, where a gentleman entered and told
his wife, one of the ofllcers of the meeting,
to come home quick, “as the baby had the
