Winter and Summer arc plucky rivals (or luxurious dalliance in the lap of Spring The increased forestry, incident to Ar bor Day, does not appear to obscure tho sun. "A nipping and cnger air" struck the too ardently faithful in tho seductive smiles of Spring, yesterday morning. "God tempers the wind to tho shorn lnmb" is from Sterne's "Sentimental Jour ney," and not from the Uible, as many suppose. Chicago people pronounce Goethe, "Gcyerly," nnd the Indianapolis Journal concludes that they believe he was an Irishman. If Mr. Gledstone has been waiting for Mr. Tennyson's minstrelsy, perhaps he is glad of the promised Russian diversion now that the "pome" is launched. Those who are good judges in the lan guage of diplomacy hold to the opinion that Russia has hogged the usufruct in the windy war with the British. Tho Oklahoma "boomers" have aban doned their scheme for the present. The cold comfort received from the proper au thorities at Washington, seems to have stiffened into stony frigidness. It is but fair to nam some of our citi zens that in case we become involved in a war with Central America, that there is a war in Cauada also. This fact will swell the ranks of the peace party, but it is only fair. The fact that the South is behind the times is substantiated beyond question by the fact that a Memphis woman eloped re cently with her husband's coachman. She should have taken the skating rink pro fessor. The Prince of Wales knows a thing or 'two. lie goes right down into Ireland and stands with the dynamite gunners. The monotony of his life would find imme diate relief, however, shonld he go down into Afghanistan, just now. The present Ohio Legislature defeated the bill to prohibit the sale of criminal literature, and also refused to reform the loose divorce laws of our state, which bill was introduced by the Lorain representa tive, Mr. Washburn, in response to a gen eral demand. The suppression of a French newspaper in Cairo is the occasion of high words be tween France and England. England as sumed, at once, the responsibility of the act, also a what-you-going-to-do-about-it attitude toward France. France is talking about it at present. A movement is on foot at Chicago to tender the use of a private hotel on Look out Mountain to General Grant for his use during convalescence. The grim old war rior spending his leisure moments in full view of his military triumphs is a grand idea and smakes of "eternal fitness." The weather may grow warm and the of fice seekers lose their energy, but the Repub lican parly should be turned out of office for all that. .Yew York Sun. If the Republican party hears this re mark she will probably thump herself to know if she has not been dreaming about that 'lth of March affair all this while. What we want is Boraebody to lay his index finger on the spot where Spring field's now market house is to be located. This remark is applicable, in its full force, 'to the site for the Government building. Both' however, should be reserved for the citizen who has not real estate interests involved. Tho dynamite fiend succeeded Thursday in partially destroying British Admiralty building in London, on the remarkable discovery was made in the finding of a piece of American clockwork in the debris. This will be sullicient to convince the average Englishman that the rascals who committed the crime are Americans, but it is more than likely that there are plenty of desperate enemies of England "to the manor born" capable of luch a monstrous crime also possessing subtlety enough to attempt to draw sus picion awij from themselves by a trick. leiu Wind 60 s"w" (it- W 70 V N V Tho revenue returns say that the In crease in tho consumption of lager beer In Philadelphia Inst year was G 1,000 barrels. Tho Collector, however, thinks that It is due to the Electrical Exhibition, the Slate Fair nnd the Scientific Convention, Does Science, Electricity nnd tho Pumpkin Committees rcnlly object to Schuylkill water, as n bovcrago generally? Wo had expected to commence, with this issue, the publication of Hugh Con way's latest story, "A Family Affair," but, for some reason, the first installment had not arrived up to tho hour of going to press. We havo not been informed of the cnuso of the delay; but know thnt it is only temporary, and we hopo to bo able to give the opening chapter next Sunday. The story is having a wonderful run in England, and is said to be Hugh Conwny's masterpiece. There has Juot been a time for many years when tho people of the United States could do ample justico to a foreign war by way oi attentive audience as the present. The lively "misty mazes" of the war dance in the Afghan highlands would bo followed with unbroken interests as to detail, and at tho same time the beautifully grand na val movements on the Baltic and Black seas would probably como within the cast of our field glasses. Yes, tho prospect of unusual display thickens; hero is Presi dent Iiarillos in Central America to re lieve the situation, and Mr. Kiel in the Northwest demands a passing glance. In the meantime wo mny enquiro by tele graph or otherwise respecting the proba ble need these belligerents mny have for first-class wheat, canned beef, munitions of war, etc., etc. The demand for tho pardon of Jeff Da vis is now before President Cleveland. It comes from tho South and in behalf of the South. It is made in order that tho South may be relieved of the mortification of be holding her leader, in the war of the Re bellion, under the banns of treason. Af ter the honor in statuary to General U. E. Leo; after the reward of office to Lamar, and the consequent lowering of the Stars and Stripes in honor of Jake Thompson; after fulsome flattery by ofli cial honor to a host of rebel brigadiers; (if ter contemplating the festive glory, in banquets, to the rebel Stars and Bars, nf. ter strewing rebel graves with flowers alike with the green mounds of the loyal dead; after witnessing tho glory of parade over rebel victories are the curtains to nso upon JcH Davis as a patriot? There does not appear to be any change of material importance in the situation between England and Russia. England is much given to formal diplomacy, but at the same time her preparations for war must be regarded as deeply significant. The situation seems to be bordering upon a climax, however, and tho next few days will, in all probability, circumscribe the furthest limit of diplomacy. It is hard to bring anything out of the situation but a war between the two great nations. Evi dences are not wanting for the prediction that the eruption when it comes will be general among the nations of the Old World, and which will make many changes in the map of Europe. So intermingled are the interests of the great Powers of Europe that the contest between England and Russia will be regarded, generally, with an interest which will not remain passive. France is already agitated and Germany may not be expected to remain quiet. Turkey must remain favoruble to England even if she must occupy a neutral ground. As in all countries there is a conservative clement, as there is in Eng land today, which may desire peace, but the peace element is already submerged in the busy mart of war. The Dayton Journal says it's a '-dead cer tainty" that Mr. Nlcbtls hasn't keen editing the Sunday edition of the Springfield Glohe Kkpobuc during Col. Kinney's illness. We incline to the contrary opinion. There was a time when CHI. Nichols was too much of a Sunday-school man to edit a Sunday paper, but he isn't a stupid man, and notdispused to ignore sound philosophy and the wants ot the best class of newspaper readers. He bas probably reached the conclusion that a man may run a Sunday paper without being "tugged" for passage on the down-grade train. Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE GLOBE REPUBLIC, UAT-TA-TAT-A-LING. HIS T.litllllVlttttK AX1 Til It CO!!- The Mine Ololhr, Urns Million, Ornnire Hlutiona nnd filiation New Method Applied lu Enforce nu Old, Old Slnry. The adveut ol Iho Salvation .Army Into Springfield, with Its rare exhibitions of pecu liar attractions; peculiar dress; peculiar ad dress, and peculiar music, demonstrates the fact that that which wo call religion Is pro lific of most peculiar and startling sensations as to methods. What has not been done In the name of religion on the face of this glolo, In the past, would present a catalogue of ex cessive briefness compared with what has been done In that lino by way of extraordi nary methods. Nor Is the present time evi dently less productive of peculiarity than tho past has beon. That the cause which has ex isted from all time, nnd promises to stand for ever; the cause that produced Moses, Ing David, Jesus Christ, Martin Luther, and a host of grand characters of religious history should gives us heroes Is not to be wondered at. That it should give us from time to time, including the ages past, present and to come, what sjme may call extraneous methods should not so much excite surprise. S.mc way or other all the objections to religion, strictly speaking, have dwindled Into Insig nificance, and have fallen away Into forget fulness when measured along side, of the grand fact that the human mind or soul, or whatever it may be called, Instinctively or otherwise, no matter which, recognizes and acknowledges something outside and Infin itely above Itself, which religious people call the higher power the controling nu thorltlve power God. That the cause which has come down from the ages with lis pecu lar history and to-day In our own county, has a monument at every cross-road (a church) and, in every circle of society, a devotee, should produce the Salvation Army, should not be a matter of surprise. That the Christian religion has lr. some measure a great measure strictly speaking failed to reach cer'aln classes of people is due more to Bocial customs and amcnlt es than to any other lault, if indeed it be a fault. The Salvation Army addresses Itselt to that class ot people whose circumstances In life have prevented them from rising by means of such education and refinement of manners that would make them congenial society for tbe more favored class who wor. ship in the finely luroiihed churched of our cities. This fact has been recognized by the people ot the world and severely commented upon by those who have sought to weaken" I lie enuje itselfratbt-r than provide a remedy for tho general good. In 18C5, by Wra. Rooth, a Wesleyan mln ister in the east ot London, England, undertook, by new and entirely unconven tional means, to reach a large mass of un taught and irreligious people living in thnt part of the great city, and organized what has since been known as the Salvation Army. The organization now numbers about 2,000, 000 parsons and has a following In all the great cities of the world. The army is a stml-mililary organization, with officers of various grades, and with both officers and privates under strict discipline. William Booth, the founder, is th General in Chief, with bis headquarters in Lrndon, England. The "War Cry," published in London and New York, is the official organ of the Army and has a circulation of hundreds of thou sands of copies annually. The members of the Army appear In uni form and address each other as Captain and Sergeant, etc., according to position. The la dies of the organization are not excluded from official position in fact it seems to be a point to have a lady Captain with each detachment. The ladiis wear plain suits, neatly fittiag and generally blue, whha Lady Washington bon net, over which is an orange band with the printed words "Salvation Army." The la dies also carry the tambourines which they have learned to manipulate, with a consumate efficiency not to be out-done by the end-man in the minstrel show. They call these Instru ments of questionable musical qualities tim brel, and tbey serve a double purpose, fthat ot lumUhing music, and also are very baady for taking up collections. The songs taey sing are of religious sentiments set to the popular airs of the day, In which such as, "Just Before the Battle Mother," and others are recognized accompanied by the timbrels, cornet and sometimes by the base drum. The exercises aside from these outalde demonstrations are not widely different from the well-knowa camp-meeling, and big revival methods. The unusual attractions are highly successful In bringing together a crowd of people of all classes, and especially the lower class. The preaching, if so it may be called, is earnest, peculiarly pointed, abounding In extravagant utterances, Bid sometimes illustrated with mirth provoking metaphor. That these peculiarities sometimes elicit mocking ap plause, "catcalls," cries of "rats," "chesnuts," etc., may not be surprising when the audi ence is considered. Such disturbances, when tbey occur, ar kindly but lorcibly rebuked by the "captain." The severest rebukes are so Interspersed or paragraphed rather with 'God bless you" "May the Lord save you" and juch saving clauses that the disturber Is nearly always silenced without the aid of the police The members of the Army now working here are Captain U. ff. West, Mrs. Tierney, MLs DeMerit, Sergeant Brewer and Private Herby. Captain A. D. C. Wbatmore with bis cornet, and the "Saved Minstrel" will be here soon, and they meet In Lotbscbuetz's Hall. This "barracks" bas been knowa as the popular resort of all tha dances, etc. ot the lower classes, and is situated In a locality to which the Salvation Army and Its cause must be the most uncon genial, and, If at all successful, the most de structive to business interests In the locality. 1 be Army is supported by the "offerings" voluntarily made through the medlam of the tambourines as collection boxes; by the sate of the Army song books, other literature, and by the Sunday night silver "oferlng" at tha door. In their songs, exhortations, etc., they have a peculiar way of emphasising every word with waving jestures of the bands and continuous motion o: the body, and all strong utterance oy any ol the speakers are en dorsed by the others with such expressions as Glory I Qlory to Jesus I Hallelulabl tt;., etc. Tbey have one pecullaritv which Is rather commendable than otherwise, and that is tbey do cot use the "thee," "thou" and "tby" in addressing the Deity. Ta plain "you" and "yours" used by the members of tbe Army Is remarkably effective In bringing tbe language down to that ol common life. Will tbe Army do any real good In Spriogfield?

Dayton Herald: It isrumoied that Post master Wilt bas suggested a reform in post age stamps so that twos can be distinguished from ones, even in the darkest night.

The Little Miami train men report a case of wonderful canine sagacity. Mr. Jbu Bryson lives near Enon, a little station be tween Xenla and Springfield. The trains do not stop at this station except on signal, but every morning when the train whistles a large dog starts across the fields from Mr. Bryson's residence, and the train men throw off a daily paper and other mail matter for Mr. Bryson, which are picked up and carried back to jhe house by the dog, who never makes a mistake in the train or losses any of the mail. The express men are very proud of the dog, calling him the "dog messenger," and frequently feeding him. Speaking of young girls making their debut lu ibis country makes the account of tbe Piute Indian eirls debut of special interest. Just before she reaches womanhood her grandmother has especial charge of her. To that old lady, whose years arc euppesed to have brought wisdom, the girl is given. She schools her in domestic duties and explains to her the nature and importance ol the wifely relation. The girl then goes with two older female relatives to a teepee, which is a small wicr. wans, where she remains with them twenty- uve days. During this time she performs work which Is supposed to be strengthening It con lists chiefly of piling wood. Three times a day, at morning, noon and night, she stackr five plies of wood, makinc fifteen each day. Every five days her relations take her to the river to bathe, and at the end of tbe time she elves ber clothintr toherattnnHant ani returns to the family lodge. Very fre quently the wardrobe which she presents ber female attendants Is quite extemive and la re garded by them as a valuable present. When tne young girl bas spent twenty-fire days in the teepee she bas made ber debut into the society of her tribe, and that is considered as a public announcement that she Is ready to marry. It is always proper to be correct cram. matlcally, and there may be something in the education that we irel from our aann-l. tlouB, as the following would Indicate: Do you know that there is a ureal dlftr. ence between tbe country owl and the lio9tn owl?"

The latest crszo among young ladles Is the collection of military buttons, One young miss of tho Astor family has received a string ol these trinkets In which neatly every gov ernment ol the ivotld Is represented. It is recalled tn Washlnitan soctoty that the steamer Baltic, on which Mis, Nellie Grant-Sartorls lately returned from Europe to see her father, Is the same on which (ho went with her husband on their wedding tour across the Atlantic a few dats after their brilliant wedding In the White-house, May 2.1, 1874. She has always boen hci father's special pet among his children, and, while her mother maintained her composure In telling her good-by when she was leaving afttr her marriage, htr father broke down completely.

A dog In Philadelphia lost his voice dining the recent cold snap, and it Is just heartrending to pro the other dogs gather around him moonlight nights, and staro at blm In dumb amazement, while, with exciting pantomime and voiceless Jaws, he bays the moon In torrents of impressive silence. As a rather singular coincidence, the recent session of the Arizona Legislature was orga nized on Ihe 13th day ol January tor the thirteenth time in Arizona. It adjourned on the 13lh, and bad duriig its session thirteen fights. There was a tie politically in each branch, as well as In matrimony and bachelor hood. "When I dio I want to bo buried with tbe honors of war." That was tho request made by Miss Amanda Stokes long ago to her friends at Lebanon. Ohio. In accordance with that request nnd as n fitting and appro priate tribute to her noble and patriotic ser vices as a nurse with the Union army during the rebellion, the members of Granville Thurston Post, No 213, G. A. R., In their re galia and with muffled drums and Ue flags she loved so well, cscorttd the remains to the chjrch and thence to the cemetery, where they went through the solemn rates usually performed over the grave of a dead comiade. At a meeting of tha Knights ot Labor at Toledo, a movement was instituted to ask the Legislature to make Saturday afternoons and evenings legal half holidays. Petitions are now being circulated, nnd tho movement will be urged all over the Slate. Tbe lerelgn wars begin already to "make things boom" in the produce and meat line in this country. A packing house in Chicago has receired addltioaal cable orders frna tho British War Department for the shipment of 400,000 pounds of canned meats, the destina tion being Woolwich. The same company has orders from the Canadian Government tor 225,000 pounds of canned meats for shipment to Wincepeg, for the use of tbe Canadian troops massing theie, to operate Hgalusl the balf-breeds and Indians. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, in the New York Critic, hints at the sort of food which must be carfully avoided by the singers who produce pnre tones. Sweets, hlgbly-splced food of any kind and nuts are hurtful, and Ice water is one of the worst things for the throat. It should never be drank just before singing, for it leaves the singer as hoarse as If she bad caughi a violeit cold. Beef tea Is of service, and many singers, Including Patti, depend on sulphur, taken homu'pathlcally. The scramble for office reminds the New York Tribune's Washington correspondent ot a persistent office-seeker who had gone from bad to worse in the unavailing quest. He wanted to be watchman in the Treasury, One day while crossing tbe canal bridge at Sev enth street he discovered a man's body float ing in the water. On examination bo found that the dead man was none other than a watchman in the Treasury, whom the very day before be had seen around the building. Giving a hasty alarm, be ran to tbe Treasury, and rushing breathlessly into the presence ot the Secretary, be demanded an appointment to the vacancy. "Why, my friend," said tbe Secretary, "the place has already been filled." "Filled I" shrieked the mad man, "by whom? Why, I just now saw his dead body pulled out of the canall" I don't doubt that," said tbe Secretary, "but the place is filled, neverthe less. I have just given it to tbe man who saw him fall In." Palestine Commandery No. 33, Knights Templar, at the stated conclave Friday evening, adopted the recommendation of the committee that Ascension Day, Thursday, May 14, be observed by the Commandery in tbe usual manner. Half-past two was fixed upon as the hour for religious services at the St. Paul M. E. church, the Commandery meeting at the asylum at 1 :30. A unanimous Invitation was extended to Sir Knight Rev. Dr. Henry Tuckley to conduct tho religious ceremonies and deliver the discourse on tbe occasion. Invitations will be extended tt the Eminent Grand Commander, E. Fasold, of Dayton, and several Past Emlnents to be present, dav and evening. A special was called for next Friday evening lor drill and instruction. There was a crowded house at I. O. O. F. ball Friday evening, the regular meeting night ol Ephralm lodgek greeting tbe Grand Master who was present as a special guest. The "team" ot Ephralm lodge worked one decree, to show their proficiency, alter which the Grand Master delivered a fifteen minutes' ad dress, giving Instruction in the unwritten work, and commending that Just witnessed. The evening closed with a substantial supper In tbe banquet hall over tbe lodge room. The Odd Fellows of this city are an active, enterprising and irrowlnir bodv. outniimi.
