II.
This bright little poem is by Mary E.
Bradley, in St. yicholas:
THE reason- wnr.
"When I was at the party."
Said Bern (aged jnst four).
"A little girl fell off her chair.
Kisht down upon the floor;
And all tho other little girls
Began to laugh, but me
I didn't laugh a single bi i,"
Said Betty, seriously.
"Why not?'" her mother asked her.
Fall ot delight to And
That Bettj Lies her little heart.'
Had been so sweetly kind.
"Why didn't you laugh, darling?
Or don't you like to tellT"
I airin't lansu."' said Hetty.
" "Cause it was me that fell!"'
And here is uhat Bishop Huntington
says in the Forum about the shortcomings of
the church:
More than half tho religious organizations,
large or small, are at present practical contra
dictions of the sermon on the mount It does
not need an ostentatious hierarchy to open the
door for the "prince of this world," of whom
tho Savior said, "he hath nothing in me." let
tine him in where he does tenfold the mischief
lie could do by persecution, seductions, cr In
fidel arguments outside. He buys up the prop
erty, holds the keys of pew doors, puts rich
families in the foremost seats, hires and pars
the choir, raises funds by lotteries and theatri
cals, tells the -lower classes" to stay out in tne
etreets or patronizes them with a mission
chapel in the outskirts, makes a fashion plate
of the female worshipers sees to it that parish
offices and all other marks of distinction are
assigned to prosperous merchants, politicians
hnd leaders of society never to mechanics and
day laborers who hare no qualifications except
piety and good sense suits the preacher to the
tastes of tho rulmgset, nun "runs the concern."
Wh.it is all this parochial waminonism and
Fnubbery. but a snrrender of the kingdom of
the crucified to his adversary? Where is the
divine brotherhood? Meantime, prudent care
Is taken to keep the holy language and hand
some ceremonial safe, and not to put St. Dives
into the calendar.
In Pittsburg this paragraph, from Mr
Boutwell's article in the Forum, irill find
no lack of commending readers:
It should be noticed that the tar in has not de
Stroed our foreign trade, nor is there any evi
dence that it ha diminished it, although the
cirrjinghae been transferred to foreign bot
tmns. In 1S70 our trade with the outsido world
aggregated JS2S 000,000, and In ISao it had
l f ached the enormous sum of J1.04T W0.CD0. If
TJ per cent of the carrying trade were in Amer
ican bottoms, there would not be employment
for one-half the men of New England who are
how engaged in manufactures and in the de
pendent arts and trades: whiM for women and
children sea-going pursuits furnish no occupa
tion, but the absence upon the ocean of fath
ers, husbands and sons creates more desolate
homes than can now be numbered on the hill
sides of New England. Tins great increase in
our foreign trade has come while the prutectlve
ostem has been in operation, and no snch irain
can be shown during the free trade period, that
is. from 1832 to 1861. Nor is the volume of man-
nf..tnri.l nnw KTnnrfH 9T1 ll.sil-nificant ttm
in the first U months of the last fiscal year ourA
export of manufactures amounted to nearly
$138,0130,000. or more than 17 per cent of the to
tal exports: and our export of like articles in
May, 1S90, showed a gainoter the month of
Mav. 1&S9, at the rat6 of about 30.000.000 a year.
Thus it must be admitted that even under the
protective system our manufactures find a mar
Let In other countries."
Here is what the Nationalists want, Mr.
Efward Bellamy being their spokesman:
Stated in general terms, tho policy proposed
by Nationalists is tho snccesslve nationalizing
or municipalizing ot public, services and
branches ot industry, and the simultaneous or
ganization of the employes upon a basis of
guaranteed rights, as branches of the civil
service of the country; this process being con
tinned until the entire transformation shall
have been effected.
I think 1 am safe in saying that all National
ists agree that the first business to be national
ized should be the telegraph and telephone
services.
Another extension of tho present postofuce
bu-incss which is advocated by Nationalists as
necessary to brine it up to the degree of effi
ciency attained in other countries, relates to
the establishment of a parcel express service.
As to the method of nationalizing railroad",
various opinions may be held. At present, my
own is that the purchase of the roads outright
would be uncalled for and unwise, and that che
best course would be the assumption of a per
manent Government contr3l of the system.
The present security holders would continue to
receivesuch reasonable dividends. In a just
valuation of the plants, as might bo earned.
Fourthly, Nationalists propose immediate
legislation looking toward governmental con
trol of the coal mines of the country. If tho
corporate control of railroads amounts to a
system for enabling private persons to tax the
commerce of the country for their private profit,
corporate control of tho coal mines is in effect
a system for enabling private persons to tax the
manufactures of the country for their private
profit.
Firthly. Nationalists everywhere are agitat
ing iu favor of the assumption and conduct by
municipalities of local public services, such as
transit, lighting, heating, and the water supply,
which are now rendered by corporations; and
they vehementlv oppose the grantiug of any
further franchises for such purposes.
Nationalists advocate laws in every State
making obligatory the education of children
during the hole school year, up to 17 years,
forbidding their employment during the school
year, and providingfor tberequisite assistance,
from public funds, of children whose parents
are unable to support them during school at
tendance. It is neld by Nationalists that the
fact that a child's parents are poor, or oven
thriftless, is no sufficient reason for condemn
ing the child to the life-long serfdom of ignor
ance, and that it is the duty of the State to see
that children arc not so condemned.
Aud this is Joe Jefferson's account of
playing "Rip" iu the Catskills:
There is in the village of Catskill a Rip Van
irnt.in r-i.. Tkt. .. .! ... ..... ......
i.T 111 fllC (.IUU, Oils OVUUhJ UIU UIU kiC uuuvt tu
invite me to act the character in their town. I
nAnnnfail and n-han T MirH wc ma- f fdo
wortny president and other members of the
club, among whom was young Nicholas Ved
der. who claimed to be a lineal descendant of
the original "old Nick." Emulating the spirit
of evolution, tho citizens had turned the skat
ing rink into a theatre, and a very respectable
looking establishment it made, though in Its
transition state the marks of rollers did "clin?
to it still." 1 was taking a cun of tea at the
table In the hotel when I was attracted to tho
colored waiter, who was giving a graphic and
detailed account of this legend ol the Catskill
Mountains to one of the boarders who sat near
ly opposite to me.
"Yes, sah," he continued; "Rip went up into
de mountains, slep' for 20 years", and when he
come back hyar In dis berry town his own folks
didn't know him."
"Why." said his listener, "you don't believe
the story's truer
"True? Ob course it is. Why," pointing at
me, "dat's de man."
The town was filled with farmers and their
wives who had come from far and near to see
the ODeuing of the new theater, and also, I
think I may say, to see for the flrt time the
story which Washington Irving had laid almost
at their very doors. ,
As I drove to the theater the rain came down
in torrents, the thunder rolled and the light
ning played around the peaks of the distant
mountains under the very shadow of which I
was to act the play. It gave me a very strange
sensation. When I got to the theater I could
scarcely get in, the crowd was so great about the
door countrymen trying to get into the ticket
office instead of the proper entrance, and
anxious and incredulous old ladies endeavor
ing tu squeeze past the doorkeeper but refus
ing to give up their tickets. Tho rush over, the
play began. The audienco was intent on the
scene as it progressed and seemed anxious not
to lose a word. Dunne the scene in the last
act where -Rip inquires of the innkeeper, "Is
this the village of Falling Water?" I altered
the text and substituted the correct name, "Is
this the village of Catskill?" The crowded
house almost held its breath. The name of the
village seemed to bring the scene home to
every man, woman and child that was looking
at it. From this time on the interest was at its
f nil tension. Surely 1 had never seen an audi
ence so struck with the play before.
There was a reception held at the club after
the play, and the worthy President in intro
ducing me to the company was so nervous that
ue announced me as "air. wasnington Irving."
Special Departments receive careful atten
tion in THE DISPATCH every Sunday. So
ciety, the Stage, Music, Secret Societies, Art,
Grand Army, Science, Electricity, Education,
Military and Sport are all carefully handled.
Few remedies, after 60 years trial and
constant use, retain their position as the
best; yet. such is the case with Dr. D. Jayne's
Tonic Vermifuge. "Whether as a tonic or
strengthener in dyspepsia in adults, or the
indigestion and derangements ot the stomach
in children, it is sijiply invaluable; and as
a worm remedy, it is one of the most safe and
best. Sold by all druggists.

EEVISION COMMITTEE MEETING.
Xoted DiTines Who Will Preach In tho Two
Cities To-Morrow.
GLEANQS FBOH CHDKCH FIELDS
The fact that the Presbyterian Committee
on Bcviiion of the "Westminster Confession
of Faith chose Pittsburg as thelplace for
their meeting, is evidence that here is one
of the strongholds of the Presbyterian faith.
Our city is bound to occupy a prominent
place in the history of American Presby
terianism. More than a half a century ago
this was the field where the giants of this
denomination measured swords over Albert
Barnes, who was the leader in the new
school movement, which ultimately sepa
rated from the Presbyterian Church. After
a separation of 30 years, old and new school
concluded to come together, and in 1869 the
union was consummated in this city.
Here the United Presbyterian Church
started on its career in the year 1859, be
ing made up of two factions in the Presby
terian army. All signs point to the ulti
mate union of the various branches of the
Presbyterian order, and, when the good
time comes, there is little doubt that the
place which will be chosen for the marriage
will be our own city. With the same
tendency towards union the next decade
we have witnessed the past decade, the
twentieth century will dawn upon a'TJnited
Presbyterian Church of Horth America,
and the little differences which have divided
Presbyterians will be things of the past.

(6) Position after Black's 23d move.
(c) A very good move, which seems to give
White a slight advantage.
(d) The right reply. Dr. Tarrasch took a
considerable time over it.
(e) The only move to keep the position not
only evenly balanced, but offering prospects of
an advantage if not properly met.
() But for this saving clause. Black would
have had very much the inferior game.
(g) P to Q, 5 seems the obvious reply. It
would have proved very embarrassing for
Black. Tho passed P, supported by the Bishop,
should have offered chances for a win to White.
(A) White must move the King, and Black
draws by nernetnal check. If P Kt 3, Black

The Missouri Pacific and O. & 3r. Roads
Offering Low Passenger Fares.
The possibilities for sn old-time, lively
passenger rate war in the "West are most
beautiful, and some deep incisions may be
looked for In tbe next two weeks. Tbe fates
of the trunk lines will be affected accord
ingly. The trouble commenced a short
time ago when the Missouri Pacific made a
low eastern rate out of Denver, and got the
Ohio and Mississippi Valley to make a S3
rate from St. Louis to Cincinnati. The
other roads have been trying to get these
two into line,' bat they won't stand the re
duction very long before they will take a
hand.

New York Central, has angered the O. & M.
people by taking up the matter with Trnnk
