Canadian coin is of no email worry in metropolitan life.

Some tradeemen will take the coin at par, others at a discount. The result is it is shifted on romeboiy else and gets paused around in game way—perhaps to you once more. There are bueint ss men who let this coin ammoniate and finally sell it to a broker, who in turn makes a good margin on it by shipping it at a premium back to its own oonntry.—New York World. Children. I am fond of children. I think them the poetry of the world, the fresh flowers of our hearths and homes; little conjurers with their natural magio, evoking by their epelie what delights and enriches all ranks, and equalizes the different olaseee of eooiety. Often an they bring with them anxieties and cares, and live to occasion sorrow and grief, we should get on very badly without them. Only think, if there was never any- thing anywhere to be seen but grownup men and women l how we would long for the sight of a little child ! 'Every infant comes into the world like a delegated prophet, the harbinger and herald of good tidings, whose office it is to tarn the fathers' hearse to the children, and to draw the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. A child eottene and purifies the heart, warming it and melting it by its gentle presence; it enriches the soul by new feel. eage, and awakens within it what is favor- able to virtue. It is a beam of light, a fountain of love, o e a teacher whose lessons few can resist. Infante recall ns from much that engenders and encourages sel- -:fashness, that freezes the affections. roughens the manners, indurates the hears, They brighten the home, deepen love, invigorate exertion, infuse courage, and vivify and enetain the charities of life. It would be a terrible world, I do think, if it were not embellished by little children.— ,27homas Binney. A FAMILIAR JINGLE.

It May be a Good eleotion gard But You May Get Nipped, FOROF 'WILL MEET FORCE. A Washington despatch says : A. shadow fans upon the message that the President is understood to be penning for Congrese on the Behring See question. He has in his possession, as a part of the State Depart- ment brief or "precis" of the Daae, e minute by 1llr. Blaine to the effeot that Lord Salisbury has caused it to be ooefi- dentielly made known to him that in the existing position of the oaee Her Majesty's Government could not permit a single British sealing vessel to be searched or seized in Bebring Sea beyond the admitted territorial juriediotion of the Uoited States without an immediate and foroible resit• tanoe to euoh a proceeding. If the President withholds this positive intimation from the knowledge of Congress, he will find himself iu an unenviable position should it become known next summer that he had prooured proteotive seal legielation on a deceptive or misl'eediug statement of the present situation. Should he now communicate hie knowledge to Congress, it is not to be expected that Congrese would content it. tell with • voting measures calculated eimply to provoke a aonflict of arms with- out at the same time arranging for a full and vigorous prosecution of the war so in- vited. But to enter upon a course of war legielation without appropriate notion by Congress upon the several British pro - peseta for it mixed commission to devise a system of international protection of the seal fishery and for an Impartial arbitra- tion of the entire controversy would be a course most unlikely for Congress to pur- sue. President Harrison, it is claimed, does not with for a British war, but only for an anti•British agitation to work for his own re-election. And hie delay in going on with his plena for enoh an agitation is due to the difficulty he finds in making Congress the unwilling instrument of hie personal motives. He expected Mr. Blaine to bringout a strong Russian demonstration ayainet Behring Sea sealing by British vessels, instead of which Mr. Blaine bas only succeeded in paving the way for a diplomatic controversy with nearly all Europe over the international character of Behring Sea. At this moment Mr. Blaine is the laugh- ing stook of every foreign diplomat at Washington with enough command of English to read hie published notes to Sir Julian Pannoefote and the ridiculing com- ments of the American press upom them. • It is nuderstood in official and diplomatic circles that the report from Ottawa is true ; that the note of Mr. Blaine rejecting the Salisbury proposal for Behring Rea arbitration was delivered to Sir Julian Pannoefote several days ago. However bellicose President Harrison may be in his own person he nen assail the British Government with nothing more forcible than paper pellets from the State Depart- ment uuless Congress shall appropriate money for more warlike missiles and authorize their employment in the manner oontemplated at the White House. A - Washington despatch says : The President today transmitted to the House of Representatives further correspondence on the subject of the Behring Sea contro- verey between the United States and Great Britain. The President's message is altogether formol, and merely states that, ne response to a resolution of the House, he transmits the correspondence palled for. A letter from Secretary Blaine is in- cluded in the oorreepondence. The Secre- tary maintaine the correctness of the posi- tion assumed by the United States. He believes that the controversy turns upon one point—whether the phrase " Paoifio Ocean " need in the treaties of 1824 ane 1825 included Behring Sea, as contended by Great Britain. If the United States oan prove the contrary, her case ie complete and undeniable. Therefore, Mr. Blaine enters into an exhaustive argument, based on Bancroft's history and maps, to show that Mr. Adams and his contemporaries had a distinct understand- ing that the phrase " Pacific Ocean " ex- tended the waters of Behring Sea, then known as the Sea of Kameobatka. The Secretary points to the large wealth of the Russian American Company, which he says would have been carelessly thrown away by the Bastian nobility in a phrase which merged Behring Sea in the Pacific Ocean. He cites the long years of abeti. mince from tbe seal waters by the 'elven. throne people of the United States and Great Britain as a presumption of their lack of right to enter. As Stronger evidence of his correctness Mr. Blaine cites the prot000le of the treaty of 1824 to show that Eassie's relinquishment of jurisdiction ap- plied only to the territory below the 50th and 60th degrees, also an explanatory note from Rnesia to Mr. Adams in 1824 posi- tively excepting the Aleutian Islands and the oonntry north of 59 degrees, three minutes from the concession to the United Slates of the right to fish and trade. He also cites the action of Great Britain, exoluding veseels from the waters within eight leagues of St. Helena when Napoleon was con- fined there, and again refers to the protec- tion exercised over the Ceylon pearl fish- eries by Great Britain, saying he is willing to accept those provisions for the protection of the seal fisheries. He speaks of the enormous injury inflicted by vessels under the British fieg by United States fisheries, and suggests that she send an intelligent commissioner to the seal islands. He objects to the form of the proposed arbi tretion, and Saye it will amount to some- thing tangible if Great Britain consents to arbitrate the real questions discussed for the last four years. What were the rights exaroised by Rnesia in Behring sea? How tar were they conceded by Great Britain ? Was Behring Sea included in the Pacific Ocean ? Did not the United States acquire all of Russia's rights? What are the present rights of the United States? If the concurrency of Great Britain is found necesary then what ehell be the protected limits end the close season. SeoretaryBiaine denies that the United States ever claimed Behring Sea to be a closed sea and quotes Minister Phelps in 1888, where he says thea theqsti s not e on i app linable to the present case.

Homes for the Oare of Destitute Ohildren, A STARTLING SUGGESTION. A Protestant Episcopal clergyman, named Father Huntington, meld not be invited to preemie in oortain, ohurehes of his own denomination in Toronto, because the ministers in charge of those churches do not approve of his social theoric s. Father Huntington preaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. He read in the first book of the New Testament : For one is your Master, even Christ ; and all ye are brethren. And °all no man your father upon the earth; for one is your Fath r, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters ; for one is your Master, even Christ. The application of this doctrine does not appear to be acceptable to some of the Toronto clergymen. A Catholic priest in New York, named Father MoGlynn, was impressed with this idea of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. A few years ago, for alleged reasons which ceed not be recounted, he was deposed from his priesthood. Last Sunday week he addreesad a meeting in Cooper Union, on the subject of " Evietione," the New York World having etated that there were 20,000 evictions in that city aeon year. " Poverty," he told his audience, "increases in proportion to civilization. Where you find the most civilization there you find the most poverty, misery, vice and orime. London has more of it, even in proportion to population, than New York, Now York more than Philadelphia or Chicago, and those cities more than Cincinnati and such smaller ones. " Here in New eYork this veracious chronicler of the times tells us and proves for us that there are 20,000 eviotious annually. Ireland hes three times the population of New York City and only 4,000 or 5,000 evictions a year. " They tell ne that these 20,000 families --100,000 people—evicted enormity in New York almost entirely because they actually have not the money with which to pay rent, are in a state of ' voluntary poverty.' That is to Bay, that they make themeelvee poor, and tbat if we want to euro poverty we must first cure intemperance and simi- lar vices. They tell us the poor woman ehould learnt how to make a four•oouree dinner for 17, cents, and that the ragged tramp on the park bench is a round peg trying to fit into a square hole ; that his place is waiting for him somewhere out in Minnesota or South America. The law of supply and demand as expounded by Adam Smith is substituted for the law of God as expounded by Christ. ."They ere no doubt right about supply and demand, but they are wrong on pov- erty. Intemperance is not the cause of poverty, but its effect. Both the very rich and the very poor take to drink for the same reason that, according to some poet, the stars twinkle—they have nothing else to do. " We don't want to abolish anybody we don't want to kill off anybody if we can help it, but we do believe that by abolish• ing the cause of both of these extremes we shall do away with the evil of intemper• once and many others besides." Describing the plight of those unfortun- ate enough to be unable to pay their rent, Dr. McGlynn said : What becomes of the evicted ? Where do all the pine go to ? They are broken up, ground down, lost in the general mass. The poor take in many of them, the asylums and institutions pare for others. " Not many years ago it was a hard matter to find a place in the city in which a poor child could be cared for. But some- body Blipped into a bill up at Albany a little provision empowering police magio• totter; to Bend children who seemed to be destitute to such institutions, to be main- tained at pubtio expense, and now there are children's institutions everywhere. " Instead of making any diffioulty about taking in poor children they actually con• tend with each other Tor the possession of the unfortunates and aster to police justices and others to secure the greatest number possible. ' Looking after destitute children has now become a matter of business. " Of course the good people who manage these institutions wouid be shocked if yon should say that they did it for salary or wages. It is for the love of God and the good of humanity that they are laboring, but I notice that they always manage to keep themselves well clothed and fed and comfortably houeed. " These institutions are a positive detri• ment in this respect to the real good of the poor. They make it too easy to breakup a home. They put too many facilities in the way of people who are tempted to get rid of their children until they get old enough to belp support the family. " Oa the other hand, the institations are in many cases harsh and cruel to the last degree, in refusing to give up a child when once they hem seared it, and in keeping all knowledge of its whereabouts away from its relatives, even when they are able to take care of it and anxious to recover it. " In other oases, as apparently in one very repent case, insufficient evidenoe, such es the malicious complaint of a neighbor, has been made the excuse for the invasion of a home at midnight, the seizing and carrying off of children and the arrest of a mother, who, boosne she resisted this violence, was got out of the way by a con• venient accusation of drunkenness and a sentence to a month on the Island. There's too much competition, nowadays in this business of oaring for destitute children. The influence of the institutions is bad. It is not God's plan of raising children. Two or three together, four or five a dozen, if you will, but 200, oh,tbat'e too many1 " Children do nothrive under uch a system, physically or morally. The mans• gere will tell you so themselves. " Once I visited en institution for girls, and the good woman in charge said : t" Oh 1 we keep the girls with us as longus we can ; why, some of them get to he quite old maids, laminae, you know, Father, when they go out they are so likely to go. to the bad l' " Think of that l Thousands of young girls from Ireland, Germany, Soandinavia. and elsewhere land in this .00nntry every month, alone end tent off from all the pro. teotion of home.

Coming back to eviotious, Dr. McGlynn declared that the solution cf the poverty question was in the salvation of the horny. "Prevent these 20,000 eviotiolgs I Let. us hear lees of evictions in Ireland and more of evictions in New York. An evic- tion in Ireland is far less dangerons, either to health or morels, than one in New York " I would be the last to seek to withhold aid from Ireland, but, in God's name, lot our charity begin at home. " There's many a man will salve his con- science) with a subscription of $100 or $1,000 to a fund to clip the wings of Irish landlords, when Chet enm is but a beggarly part of the rents the same man ie extorting in this city. " We mast abolish, not the landlords— they are entitled to a fair return on their investments—but landlordism must go. It isn't civilization that is wrong. " I have no sympathy with the ory that God made the country, but man made the town.' God made the town, and he put into it the very noblest work of art, genius and all human progress. The centre of all civilization is in the cities: It is not with that or with them that we fight. " All we are trying to do is to remove a leprous blotch from the face of civilization. Land -lord is a hateful name; there is no lord of the land but the Lord our God !" Dr. McGlynn paused here end bowed hie head as if he were in a pulpit again and about to end a discourse with prayer, but he remembered himself quickly, wiped his face wearily with hie handkerchief and brought the Service to a oloso, with the annouucement that the meeting the next Sandaynight would be devoted to the subject of "Children's Play -Grounds." As the lights were turned down and the audience hurried away, suob exclamations as " Isn't he beautiful!" "Oh, my, I do love bin eo l" and " What a dear man he is!" could be beard from the women on every side. An Indian Romance. Rain -in -the Face is another smart and exoeedingly dangerous Sioux warrior. His daughter had a romance that melee a rather interesting story. She fell in love with a young lieutenant in the army once, when the lieutenant visited the Sioux reservation. Later he was transferred to Fort Laramie. Not long after that a band of Sioux obtained a huutieg peso and roamed over into Wyoming. The Indian maiden persisted in a000mpenying them. She saw the lieutenant, and upon learning that he was married she fell upon the ground moaning and tearing her black treseee. The young squaw ref ased to return with the Indians, and they con - tinned to camp in the vicinity for several weeks. One day the Indian girl ended her unhappy life by cutting her throat with a hnnting•knife. She was buried with the usual ceremonies of Indian ohsegn'es — Denver Republican. Some Indian Nantes.

New York Sun: " Why do you live in the country, anyhow ?" asked a New Yorker of a suburban friend. " To save money." " Is the cost of living less ?" " No, slightly higher." " Then how do you save?" " No opera, $50 a season. No concerts, $25 a season. No theatres, 850 a season. No big dinners to friends, $100 a year. No fan of any kind, $500 a year." " Say 1" said the city man, seized with en inspiration, " wouldn't you save money if you died ?" Booth a Banker It is not generally known, says a London cablegram to the Brooklyn Eagle, that general Booth is a banker, as well as a preacher and commander of the Salvation army. He issues Salvation Army bonds, teetered by first mortgage on the property cf the Salvation Army, and offers the high interest for Great Britain of 41 per cent. "he object of issuing these bonds is said to le "fair interest, emend security and the extension of the kingdom of Jesue Christ."

Rescue of the Crew of the Pollux After Drifting 29 x-rays. A New York despatch says: The steamer State of Nevada, from Glasgow, brought to this port the officersandcrewof the British steamer Pollux. The Pollux encountered a series of melee, and was in a sinking cone ditiou when the crew were taken off in mid ocean by the State of Nevada. The Pollux wee bound from Rouen for Phila- delpbia. The Pollux was 48 days out from Rouen when the Stele of Nevada fell in with her. Her rudder was gone and the vessel had sprang a bad leak. Tho Pollux only had provisione for an ordinary voyage when she left Rotten. These became ex- hausted, and all suffered terribly from hunger. For 29 days they had nothing bet canned meat to eat. This disappeared so rapidly that during the last seven days previous to their rescue but seven onnoee of meat per say were allowed to esah man, They had no water or bread, the coal gave out long before they were rescued, and the men also suffered greatly from cold. One of the Pollnx's firemen was washed over• board and lost. The Pollux was a steel screw sohooaer-rigsed ship of 1,443 tone. She was owned at Dundee. Smart Enough That Time.

Rose was forbidden to viait Mies Welsh by her parents, but while the parents wereat church on Sunday Rose visited the bouts and induced the young woman to tele a walk. When they had gone a short distienoe he asked her if she was willing to die for him. She replied yes,and he drew w it pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the girl's face, inflict ing a probably fatal wound.
