Should Clergymen take Part in
Polities?
Should clergymen take part in
political affairs ? This is a question
which is frequently asked, and
which, for the past few weeks has
created e ciinsiderable discussion
through the pu.blic press. It is
the belief of some that members of
the clerical professiota should :hold
- themselves- eutirely aloof from pol-
itics, as being. something too vile
and degrading for them to court-
thrtance... By ,such it is maintained •
that the duties of a clergymanare
of a more enobling characteit than
can possibly be fdend in the politic-
al arena. We cannot look at the
matter in this lighe. While we
have no clesih to ]over the dignity
of the clerical profession, or assign
-
to its members duties which might
be considered foreign to their call-
' ing, yet we believe they are as deep-
ly interested ;in the proper govern-
ment of the countryeas any of their
fellow citizens, Believing this, We
- cannot see why they should rbe pro-
hibited flout exercising theur. rights
likeother citizens, and casting their
votes for the politician or political
party they may deem most pure,'
and most likely to conduct the af-
fairs of the state prefitably.' Alore
than this, we belieee it is quite
within the province of a clergyman
to discuss with his parishioners the
political questions of the day, •and
advise with them as to the proper
disposition of their franchise. , Of
course; by this, .we do not mean that
clergymen shoidd use the powers
vested in thud as leaders in the
church to force or frighten their
followers to pursue a certain politic,

A New Tidaborne Witness.
A few days ago the Tichborne
Claimant and his friends, Mr.
Guildford Onslow, M. P., and Mr.
Whalley, M. P., appeared foi a
second time at the Oxford Music
Hall. A sensation was produced
by the appearance of Professor An-
derson, the Wizard of the North,"
stating that he had evidence to
prove the Claimant was not Arthur -
Orton. He told the audience he
knew both Arthur Orton end Tom
de Castro at Castlemaine, in Aus-
by Starving Himself.
A murderer who was to be banged
has just succeeded in cheatine the
gallows by starving himself to Lath.
We remember hearing of a 'taw of
this kin a in Massachusetts a few
months -ago, .but there we believe
the man did. not succeed, and was
hanged. His English confrere waS
more successful. His name was
James Flynn, and he was sentenaed
to death for the murder of a woman.
He received his sentence on the it
of August, and from that moment he
refused to take his food, and died on
tbe day he was to be hanged, which
was the 12th August. It seems,
therefor; that a strong map, in good
health, can live only twelve dans
without food. On the first niglit
the governef, of the prison did not
think there was any determination
on the part of the prisoner to iefuse
food, but that his appetite had mere-
ly forsaken him for the time being
through the severity of the sentence.
On thee following day, however,
Flynn still persistently refused to
eat anything, and the governor can-
ed the attention of Pie surgeon to
the matter. The surgeon advised
he should be tied to the breakfast
time the following day, and if he still
continued in. his determination to
reject his food means -should be taken
to compel him. Contrary to expec-
tattons of the surgeon, he held out,
and it was decided to bring the
stomach pump into requisition. Up
to this time the man had conducted
himself with more sullenness than
violence, but when be saw the sur-
geon. and his attendants at the door
of his cell with the stomach -pump
he seized a stool., and swinging it
over his head, swore he would knock

Keep alp the Family Attachment
Ono of the zaddest things about a
large family who have lived happily
together for years Ittlder the old roof-
tree, IS the scattering to distant
homes, which takes place as they
grow up, one by one, to years of ma-
turityIt is ofteat. the case that tin
the cares and bustle of business, let-
ters grow moreand more infrequent,
and finally brothers and sisters will,
sometimes entirely lose sight of each
other. These kindred ties are much
too sacred to be thus lightly severed.
It takes such a little wbile to write
a letter, and the expense is so trifl-
ing, there caa hardly be an exense
for the neglect.
A loving family circle, thus wide-
ly severed, adopted a curious but
beautiful plan for keeping informed
of each other's welfare. The two
most remote ou the first of each
each month ivrite a part of a page on
a large sheet containing the prinei-
pal news of the month, and this is
sealed and forwarded to the family
next in order. Some mem.ber of the
household_ adds a like contribution,
and sends it on to the next, and so
on till the whole eirele is complete.
Thus the family eircular goes its
rounds twelve times a year, and each
one
is kept well infor
