EDITORIAL NOTES.
—The Japanese are said to be con
sidering the feasibility of adopting a
new language, an 3 to be wavering in
a choice between English and (ler
man.
—The statistican of the Agricultural
Bureau reports the corn crop of the
present year as onc‘ of the largest that
has ever been raised. The oats crop is
an average one, and the barley crop
samething better than last year.
—So dry had it become in New Jer
sey that it is said the recent heavy
rains have made very little difference
as yet in the mountain streams in the
upper part of the State, the water dis
appearing in the dry earth like a
sponge.
—Antiquarians are again busy in
guessing at the origin of Stonehenge.
It is conjectured that the monoliths are
relics of the glacial period, brought,
imbedded in ice, from the far north,
and left on dry earth when the ice-sea
melted away.
—Mr. James 'l'. Fields, in his recent
- ""s - -rs of the Situation,'•
expresses the opinion that with fewer
books there would be more culture.
how is this for an ex-publisher ? Iha
we herein find an exi,huation of Mr.
Fields' retirement from the trade?
—The absurdity of pot-dating week
ly newspapers has exemplification in
the New York Ledger, the issue of
which bearing date of Saturday, Oc
tober 28, said its popular contributor
Fanny Fern, was extremely ill, when
the fact Is she had been dead sixteen
days when the date of the paper was
reached.
—ln Kansas and Nebraska alone
over fifteen thousand entries were
made within the year under the home
stead law. These entries represent a
population of fifteen thousand added to
these two States, on lands freely pre
sented them by tho government, be
sides a large number who acquired
their homes by purchase.
—Some of the Chicago papers, in dis
cussing the Sunday saloon closing
question, are taking the ground that
lager beer is without intozic ding
properties. This is an error. An
analysis of numerous specimen sam
ples of this beverage made last year
showed the presence of alcohol in
quantities ranging from 5.630 to 6.190
per cent.
—The m Mows of those who were em
ployed as mechanics or workmen un
der the government in 18GS-9, from
whose wages a portion was withdrawn
because of the reduction of hours, can
obtain the amount withheld on mak
ing affidavit before a justice of the
peace, supported by the evidence of
two witnesses who have personal
knowledge of the facts.
—A vignette of thelate Thaddeus Ste
vens, the "Great Commoner , ' of Penn
sylvania, has just been completed at
the bureau of engraving and printing
in the Treasury Department, and will
be used upon either the nationt cur
rency or revenue stamps. The like
ness is perfect, and the work is pro
nounced as one of the finest pieces of
engraving ever executed.
—Here i 3 in brief what the San Juan
boundary question amounts to: "The
decision of the Emperor of Germany
accords to the United States its claim
to the Island of San Juan, and all the
islands between the mainland on our
north-west boundary and the nearest
channel to Vancouver's Island. The
British claim was to all the Islands
west of the channel nearest the main
land."
—ls the Indian capable of civiliza
tion? The Pamunky tribe, number
ing eighty-five persons, own and in
habit a tract of land in King William
county, Va., of fourteen hundred and
sixty-six acres,of which seven hundred
are arable. They have a school, a Bap
tist church and three 111 inisterA. Every
member of the tribe above the age of
fifteen years is a member of the church.
—President Grant's policy of paci flea.
tion has excited efforts among all
ecclesiastical bodies in behalf of the
Indians. Every denomination of
Christians has a mission to the scatter
• tribes, and large sums of money
• every-year been contributed for
their education. And now the Epis
copalians contemplate a broader basis
of operations than even their past ex
tended efforts.
—Concerning the emancipation of
women, a writer In the Revue des Deux
Afondes tells us that it is by no means
a modern idea. Four hundred years
ago, writers were found to plead their
equality with men. In 1509, Corne
lius Agrippa, very powerful in his day
as a thinker and author, wrote of the
"Superiority of Women to Men,"
which he demonstrated in thirty chap
ters by a cloud of mythological, physi
cal, historical, cabalistic and moral
proofs. Arguments for the equality of
women are found even in Plato.
—Chicago is not alone in her glory
as the phoenix of the continent, if not
of the world. Little Peshtigo, reduced
to a heap of ashes and cinders in the
great forest fires of a year ago, has re
stored herself quite as thoroughly as
the Garden City. With less assistance
from the outside world, half buried in
the dense north-western forest, the
sturdy little town has risen from her
ashes almost unaided and alone, and
stands forth to-day stronger than before
she was swept over by the whirlwind
of flame.

BEECHEII-111TON SUNNDAL
In another column we give in con
densed shape one of the strangest
scandals of modern times. It is com
piled from a lengthy article in 11 1)(1(1-
lreddy, in which it
first appeared. The story is told in a
very circumstantial manner, but until
the matter is further developed, it is
scarcely just to give an opinion as to
its truth.
The two women ~ sisters) who pub
lish that paper have been notorious as
agitators of social questions—their
leading doctrine 'icing that the insti
tution of marriage is no longer desira
ble, and should he subverted to give
place, if we understand them, to entire
freedom in the relations between the
sexes. To us, their doctrines are
monstrous; and If they practice as
they preach, their statements of this
kind should not be received as tact
without other evidence.
While the story P:4th.; :d most in
credible, it is clear tie the accused
parties cannot remain silent without
danger to their reputation, nor in Mr.
Beecher's case withont injury to his
church. If the story be false, it is
easy for the several parties named as
cognizant or the facts, to deny them
publicly. This may yet he done: but
it is singular that the 'United States
law against improper publications,
and another libel Num a private citi
zen, should receive immediate atten
tion, while so vile a charge against a
leading clergyman Is suffered to sleep.
We suspend judgment until further
developments give us more light.
TILANKSGIVING.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has
issued a proclamation requesting - a
compliance with the recommendation
of the President that Thursday, the
28th day of November. be sot anal t as
a day of praise, preyer and thanksgiv
ing. The Crow:times proclamation
says: "Let thanks be given to Al
mighty God that Ile has bestowed
upon us all the common blessings of
life, given us health and relieved us
from pestilem , e; that labor is abun
dantly rewarded ; that we have no
dread of impending famine, or fear of
industriai or commercial distress; that
the arts, sciences, general education,
and the sentiments of peace and good
will aro steadily advancing. Let us
be especially thankful for the great
privileges of American citizenship;
for the untrammeled expression of
opinion ; that our political rights still
remain safe under beneficent laws and
in the hands of an order-loving people;
and that 'equal and exact justice' is
vouchsafed to all. For these, and for
all other civil, social and religious
blessings we enjoy, let us yield the ;
sincere tribute of grateful hearts, and I
humbly beseech their continuance."

The numlitd of Americans in Paris is
very great. Every hotel in the city is
full to ()widowing, and the majority of
the guests are from the. United States. It
is the same throughout Europe ;%vherever
the tide of pleasure travel leads, Ameri

generally the season of return form
European tours, there appear to be its
many Americans arriving abroad as
there are leaving.
Paris newspapers complain of a great
falling oil in the trade in Parisian arti
cles. Not long ago the French COMMiS
sion merchants dispatched to the retail
houses abroad, particularly to Italy,
nine-tenths of the en t ire Paris production
of toys and such like foods. Germany
appeared as a purchaser to the extent of
a tenth of the foreii4n export. Now,
however, the French commission mer
chants do not supply more than fifty per
cent. of their orders front Paris.

universal salvation of all mankind, but
she always thought, wiilt Bon Adhem,
that he whose name was writ "as one
who loved his fellow-men," would one
day, in that purer world beyond, "lead
all the rust."
Last year the Ladies' Missionary No

No sooner, however, had the young lady
arrived in the country than she proceeded
to accept the attentions of Rev. Mr.----,
a missionary sent out under the auspices
of the American Board. As a result,
they were iu a short time married. The
Ladies Missionary Society have accord

husband for the payment oI one thou
