The Ohio Fight.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, June 28.— A very prom
inent Ohio Republican and supporter of
John Sherman said to your correspondent
to-night: "Our battle will be the first pre
liminary skirmish of the battle of 1888. You
see the* Republicans hardly know where
they stand. Cleveland's new policy has
affected our organization but to what extent
cannot yet be said. A large number of his
friends wanted Sherman to run for gov
ernor and it was hard work to keep the
boys from nominating him anyhow and
compelling him to run. But we intend to
make a canvass for governor in Ohio that
will give the party its iines for the presi
dential run three years hence." "What
about Mr. Blame's being in
vited to stump Ohio?" was the
first question asked. "Nothing beyond
the fact that he is to be asked to come out
and help us has been decided upon. I saw
hint yesterday and told him that he would
be officially informed pretty soon. We had
some conversation relative to the adminis
tration and its doings, which I cannot re
peat because it was confidential. He
agrees with me, however, as to where Mr.
Cleveland had made his mistake. As a
matter of policy there are two ways open to
A NEW PRESIDENT.
"One is to strengthen himself by judicious
appointments' and the other is to conciliate
his enemies in the opposition. Whether
the president is conciliating them any by
permitting so many to remain in office he
himself must decide. One thing 1 can tell
you: If Blame had been elected there
would have been more removal in one
month of his administration than there will
be this entire year under Democratic rule.
The Republicans believe that the best way
to make a party strong is to put their own
people in power and hold them responsible.
We intend to have evep- Republican of na
tional reputation in Ohio some time during
the campaign this fall, if urgent invitations
can bring them. There will be no lack of
money. We have 8250,000 promised now,
and by reliable men. State feuds have
been healed, and will remain so until after
the fight against the common enemy has
been won. Foster and Sherman have made
up. and there is harmony in other portions
of the Republican vineyard. There's the
party life in Ohio." "Have you any favor
ite son
IN TRAINING FOR 1888,"
was asked. "Well, we don't care to pro
nounce too positively for anybody so early
and this far ahead. But if the Republican
presidential nomination had to be made this
month instead of three years hence, Ohio
would be a unit in favor of Blame. He
spent more time with us last year than was
given to any other part of the country, and
no other Republican has anything like
Blame's hold on. the popular heart. The
truth is we are a little short of presidential
timber just uorwv The tallest oake have
long since fallen and those left are full of
hollows, knots and sometimes are badly
vvindshaken, to use a lumberman's descrip
tion. " * 'Logan is strong in Ohio, isn't he?"
was the next question asked. "Well,
yes," said the eminent Ohioan,
meditatively, "but he has nothing like the
strong personal following that sticks to
Maine's great sou, through thick and thin,
aud no other man ever had, not excepting
Grant. There is only one unknown quantity
in this fight. The federal patronage in th c
Btate could be used so as to «
DEFEAT US THIS FALL.
"But a good deal depends on its apportion
ment. Tarn going to tell what we fear in
detail. We shall probably poll 750,000
votes this fall, for we intend to bring our
entire force out. The majority cannot be
more than G. 000 or 7,000, which you see
is about 1 per cent. The change, there
fore, of only one vote in 100
will break us down. We do not monopo
lize the brains of Ohio by any means. The
Democrats are just as wide awake as we
are. Payne, the senator, lias gathered
about him nearly all the young men in the
6tate with nerve and political skill of the
Democratic faith. They have money, too,
and will use it unless the administration
gives them some cause for lukewarmness.
Senator Payne has an invaluable ally in
Whitney, who is a brevet Ohioan and is un
doubtedly one of the best practical poli
ticians in the cabinet. They are somewhat
handicapped, too, by Gov. Hoadly. He is
a scholarly man and a gentleman, but he
doesn't take hold of things with enough
vigor. John Sherman will throw his whole
weight into the campaign and John A.
Logan will stump the state from end to end."
Blame May Return to Congress.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, June 28. — A friend of
Mr. Blame writes the following: "Mr.
Blame has cone to finish the work on his
book in the quiet of his Augusta home. He
had hoped to go abroad this summer, but
he will hardly be able to complete his book
in time. There is considerable talk heard
about his returning to political life. It is
well understood that he can return to the
senate or the lower house within two years,
if he chooses, aud if he intends to remain
in the public view it is more
than likely that he will accept a
seat in congress after his literary task has
been completed. Hale or Congressman
Milliken would retire to give place to Mr.
Blame if he should desire to return to the
active duties of the house or senate. Hale
could become governor, but Frye would not
yield unless compelled to. There is a gen
eral feeling here that the matter can be ar
ranged to accommode all the statesmen.
There is also a belief that while Mr. Blame
may go back into public life for a few years,
he will not permit Himself to be again
pushed for the presidency.
MIST KELLVGO?
liivcly Fiarht in Tammany Ilall —
County Democracy Happy.
Bpecial to the Globe.
New York, June 2S. — The question of
the reorganization of Tammany hall is a
matter which exercises the elements of the
Democratic party. John Kelly's continued
indisposition has caused a feeling of un
certainty throughout the rank and file of
the adherents to the wigwam in Fourteenth
street and there is a remarkable disposition
to dethrone tlie old leader. The reports
circulated recently that Mr. Kelly's mental
capacity had been strained through
overwork and that the proba
bilities are that he will not be
in a position to resume the leadership
of Tammany hall, have caused a good deal
of discussion, particularly since not a
move has been made of late by the Tainnia
nyites toward making any arrangement for
the gubernatorial contest. Police Justice
Gorman, treasurer of Tammany hall, this
evening denied that Mr. Kelly's mental fac
ulties were in any way impaired. "There
is no denying the fact," he continued.
"that Mr. Kelly has been a very sick man
for quite a time. His main trouble was a
prououueed attack of insomnia. This has
been cured,- however, -and he is-jjow able- to
sleep regularly. This talk of reorganizing
Tammany hall is simply
MAKING A MOUNTAIN
out of a mole hill. lam free to admit that
there has been a presentation of some kick
ing, but it does not amount to anything
specific." "Have you heard of a plan for
the removal of Kelly from tlie leadership ot
Tammany hall?" was asked. "I have heard
a great many things, but nothing tangible;
as 1 have always stated, there is a growing
uneasiness, but I am convinced that it will
not amount to anything. By fall Mr. Kelly
will be back, and the moment he makes his
appearance all this trouble will be set
aside." "What about Mayor Grace? It is
claimed that he has already captured the
county Democracy and is making fast strides
toward the possession of Tammany hall?"
"I don't believe a word of it, but cannot
speak positively on the matter." Mayor
Grace reached his office early. When asked
about his carrying the County Democracy
reorganization
IN HIS POCKET,
he laughed outright and remarked: "I own
nobody, and it is becoming a very serious
question as to whether or not I own my
self." As the mayor was leaving Hubert
O. Thompson entered. They had a brief
conversation. With regard to there being
any trouble in the County Democracy,
Thompson denied it emphatically. "The
County Democracy organization," he said,
1 'is as much in tact now as it ever was. All
this talk of trouble between Fire Commis
sioner Purroy and myself is nonsense. We
never had any trouble. Then, again, the
idea of ever joining Tammany hall is worse
than preposterous. I have no fault to find
with that organization. If the rank and
file of the concern desire to have a change of
its organization, well and good."
Civil Service a Fraud.
Washington, June 28. — The Post to
morrow will publish an interview with
Congressman Hill of Ohio, in which, among
other things, Mr. Hill is quoted as saying
that the Democrats of Ohio are opposed to
the ciyil service law almost to a man; that
they regard it as a fraud on the public, and
that they believe in the rights of the people
to change every officer in the government
in the time prescribed by the constitution.
He said he did not know whether or not an
effort would be made to repeal the civil
service law at the next session, but if there
is he will vote to repeal it the first opportu
nity he gets. He said he had heard many
Democratic members of congress say they
would not vote a dollar to pay the expenses
of the commission, and he felt that way
himself.
BIIRCHARD'S HOLD BREAK.
Why the .flint Director Would Not
Let Go of the Official Teat.
Washington, June 28. — The following
is tte text of the letter of Mr. Burchard de
clining to resign when requested to do so
by Secretary Manning:
Treasury Department, Bureau of the
Mint, Washington, D. C, June 19,
1885. Sir: Respectfully acknowledging
your request for my resignation,
communicated to me on the 15th
iust., I have the honor to state that after
careful consideration I am not satisfied
that duty or propriety require me
at this time to resign my office.
Were any malfeasance or misconduct al
leged or believed I am sure you would have
done me the justice to have had au impar
tial examination and given a full opportu
nity of defense before demanding my resig
nation. Nor do I understand from you that
the request is made for such reason, but it
is because you deem the
RELATIONS OP MY OFFICE
to be so intimately connected with your ad
ministration of the treasury department that
you should have the privilege of selecting
the officer to be in charge of this bureau.
Were this tne case, and the inten
tion of the law it might be
proper and becoming for me to place
the tenure of my services at your immediate
command or perhaps to have done so when
you became the head of the department,
but permit me to say that such has not been
my understanding of the purpose of the
coinage act in providing that the director of
the mint "shall hold his office for the term
of five years unless sooner removed by the
president upon reason to be communicated
by him to the senate." The length of the
term, five years, the conditions upon which
the removal is authorized and the discus
sions and explanations preceding the pass
age of the act indicate the intent that the
office of director of the mint
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED
on account of a change of administration,
or in the head of the department or for per
sonal or political reasons. My predecessor,
appointed by President Grant, although of,
opposite political views, continued in office
under five successive secretaries of the
treasury until liis death. As to myself,
having served with acceptance for a full
term, and upon reappointment and confir
mation a part of another, I am conscious of
no reason why an exception to the policy
indicated by the law should now be made,
or why I ought not to continue the per
formance of official duty until the expira
tion of my commission. Very respectfully,
Horatio C. Burchard.
To the Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary
of the Treasury.
Senator Beck Very Mad.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, June 28. — Senator Beck
thinks this is the queerest administration he
ever saw. He discovered this peculiarity
some time ago, when unknown Ken
tuckians were given diplomatic positions
abroad, but his experience yesterday morn
ing makes him wonder more than ever at
the strangeness of things. Mr. Beck took
the papers of a constituent named Hill to
the postoffice department at an early hour
and filed them with First Assistant Post
master General Hay, with a request that
the postmaster at Greyson. Ky., be re
moved and his friend appointed.
"Are there any charges against the
present incumbent?" inquired the first as
sistant.
"Charges," echoed the Kentucky senator
in an astonished manner
"The man is a Republican, and Senator
Blackburn and I have agreed upon a compe
tent Democrat for his place. What else is
wanted?"
Mr. Hay smiled as he answered, "That
will not do, Mr. Beck. We must have
some reason besides that given us for a re
moval."
"Do 1 understand you to say. then, that
you will uot make the change on my rec
ommendation," queried the Kentuckian,
getting very red in the face.
"I caunot do it," said Gen. Hay, apolo
getically. "It is against the president's
policy. If I were to remove this man the
president would be very apt to remove me."
"Well, of all the *' commenced tlie
senator, who by this lime was mad, "but
there is no use in arguing the matter," he
added, as he controlled his passion with an
effort. "I don't want to have you removed,
Mr. Hay. I don't waut to have you lose
your place, but I never heard anything like
this before," and out he went, leaving a
room full of amused office seekers and a
very nervous assistant postmaster* general.
Senator Beck, in speaking of the matter
afterwards, said he would not be a party to
the filing of charges agaiust any man when
there was no cause for his removal but
politics. In his opinion that should be
sufficient

Special to the Globe.
Chicago, June 28. — Jack Burke, the
Irish lad, and Charlie Mitchell each claims
the championship of England. The two
are to meet in this city to-morrow evening
and spar six rounds, Queensberry. Which
ever proves himself the better man to-mor
row night will well establish the merit of
his claim, though the championship is not
formally dependent on the result. Mitchell
has the reputation of being one of the most
scientific boxers that ever entered the
twenty-four-foot ring. Clever is the only
terra that aptly describes him and he is re
puted to have in the highest de
gree all the clean-hitting, science,
skill, judgment, cool-headedness, activity
and hard, sound sense. It is a pretty hard
matter to "rattle" him. What Jack Burke
is every Chicago lover of sport knows with
out telling. He has never been whipped,
except that John L. Sullivan bested him,
and he has faced such men as Mitchell,
Greenfield, Dalton, Barnes and others. In
height, weight and build the two men are
almost of the same mold, and even in age
there is but little difference. ' All things
considered, the match to-morrow night
ought to be one of the best that has ever
been seen in Chicago. Undoubtedly there
will be a large crowd in attendance. Jack
Burke came in from his training quarters
to-day, and will make his headquarters at
"Parson" Davies." Both men are in good
shape, and have done some hard work the
past week. v
' The Minneapolis Racers.
A visit to the Minneapolis fair grounds
reminds one of the preparations for one of
W. S. King's great fairs. A finer galaxy
of horses has seldom ever been gathered In
this city. They have been brought here
from all points in the West. The proper
hour for going to the track to see the trot
ters and pacers move is Bin the morning.
Then the course is alive with horses. Some
will be found speeding and others jogging
quietly along as though too lazy to make a
spurt. Yesterday morning the track pre
sented an interesting and at times exciting
scene. Quarters are often shown in less
than 35 and halves in 1:11 or better.
Occasionally a thoroughbred flyer is sad
dled and after warming up is sent around
the track at full speed. John Bradford of
Big Lake, Minn., who has a splendid stud
of thoroughbreds, exercises his runners in
the afternoon.
Nearly every stall in the park is occupied
by horses that are to start in the races of the
summer meeting of the Driving Park asso
ciation this week.
SOME OF THE HORSES.
The first stalls in the main building are
occupied by a string of horses in charge of
Price Smith, one of the most popular as
well as most successful drivers in the city,
and at the head of his list is placed J. E.
Whitcomb's handsome little gray mare,
Theresa Scott. Her breeding is excellent,
having been sired by Winfield Scott, and he
by the famous Edward Everett, one of Rob
ert Bonner's highly-prized horses, and she
was dammed by a Blackhawk. Theresa has
a record of 2:26J£ and is entered in the 2:25
pacing race.
John C. Oswald's black mare, Topsy, is a
typical equine beauty. No metamorphosis
could improve her form. She has a record
of 2:30 and is entered in that class. Topsy
was sired by Skinkle's-Hambletonian, with
a record of 2:2B>£, and her dam is Flora
Bell, who has a record of 2:29J£, and she
by Prince and he by Pathfinder.
Rolla Parvin is a fine-appearing brown
stallion owned by James O'Brien of Fergus
Falls. He was sired by Swigert and had a
thoroughbred dam. Rolla Parvin is a green
horse, and will start in the 2:45 class.
T. H. Adams of Cooperstown, Dak., has
brought down his roan gelding pacer, Joe
B, and will start him in the three-minute
and tlie 2:80 pacing races. He is by Red
Buck, dam Silver Tail.
James McNaughton's brown gelding,
Adella Sprague, was sired by Gov. Sprague,
and his dam was an Abdallah mare. She
will not start, and in fact the above com
prises all the horses which Mr. Smith is
preparing for the meeting.
ensign's two.
W. H. Ensign has two horses in prepara
tion for the events. First comes his speedy
pacer Duster, a plucky bay gelding, who
will strive to carry off first money in tlie
2:25 pacing contest. His gray gelding,
Frank S, will start in the 2:30 pace.
Thornless is a big powerful bay, owned
by William Johnson of Aberdeen, Dak.,
and is an inbred Hambletonian. Thornless
is entered in two trotting races, the 2:25
and 2:28.
Elmwood Chief, a big brown gelding,
owned by R. T. Kneebs, is no stranger in
this city, he having trotted here at two dif
ferent meetings. He has been entered in
the 2:25 and 2:28 classes. Elmwood Chief
is by Black Ranger, dam by Revenge, the
sire of Chicago Maid, who has a record of
2:27%.
George Farrier has entered Sleepy Fred
in the 2:30 pace and General Fin the 2:35.
James Clements of Eau Claire has arrived
with Billy Dayton, a bay gelding by Mam
brino, who will enter in the 2:28 trotting
class.
From J. F. Appleby's big string of trot
ters and pacers, Pearl of the West has alone
been entered. She is green and will start
in the 2:45 race. Pearl is an especially line
chestnut mare, but has been indisposed for
some time. She was taken to Chicago, but
was unable to start. Pearl Is not acting
just right, either. She has pulled so vigor
ously on the bit while being worked that
her mouth is sore, but Mr. Ackerman, hav
ing experimented with several styles of bits,
has reason to believe that he has adopted
one that will be adapted to her mouth, and
that he will be able to make a good showing
in the race.
A ST. PAUL HORSE.
R. Overpeck of St. Paul has put his black
gelding, Black Bob, on the track, and he
shows up well. He is a Swigert horse with
a sprinkling of Hambletonian blood in his
veins. Black Bob will go in tlie 2:45 trot.
Matt Balfour of Midway park will start
Mountain Boy in the three-minute and 2:30
— a wide range. Mountain Boy is a half
brother to tlie celebrated pacer, Brown
Jug.
Dan Woodmansee of Midway will start
the proud trotter, Prince Arthur, in the 2:28
race.
John P. Nael's roan mare, Widow Be
dotte, will probably not start. She has not
worked enough to be in condition, although
she has shown a trial of a quarter in 35 on
the home stretch, and has trotted a half at a
2:22 clip. She was sired by Bashaw Drury,
dam by Ferguson's Copperbottom.
J. A. Love joy's handsome bay gelding,
Gen. Hancock, is a great favorite in Min
neapolis. He has developed -his speed won
derfully fast, and his promise is something
unusual. Gen. Hancock is entered in the
2:25 race.
Frank J. Mackey's gray gelding, Uncle
Ed, will be started in the three-minute and
the '2: 3o pace. His Drown mare, Carrie B
bas been entered in the 2:35 and the 2:30
trot.
Mr. Spencer came over from Stillwater
• yesterday with-' a line*string. Among them
are Joseph Olson's gray mare, Lady Ander
son, to start in the three roiuute pace. The
famous Mike Wilkes is to pace a special
race against Commodore Kittson's great
pacer, Gem Abe Rohrbach's bay gelding,
Lem will trot in the 2:25 and 2:28 races,
and Isaac Staples' Zig will try conclusions
in the 2:30 class, and his Western Naid in
the 2:35 class.
Abe Rohrbach's brown gelding, Boston
Davis, is also entered in the 2:35 aud in the
2:28 as well.
THE THOROUGHBREDS.
The entries in the running races have not
yet closed, but entries have been made so
that it is pretty certain that each class will
fill, and there is now no doubt, consequently,
that a running race will be given each day
of the meeting.
John Bradford of Big Lake has a string
of four very desirable runners. Fleur de
Lis has run in several Minneapolis races.
Last year sho won one race here and one in
Winnipeg. She is a powerful and rangy
sorrel mare, making a mile in 47 in the
wind on our track last summer. She will
probably start in the mile heat and the mile
dash.
Lord George is a Chestnut gelding. His
former name was Baslii Bazouk, under
which nomenclature he ran many steeple
chase races. Since arriving here hu has
ran a mile in 49 with shoes and carrying
125 pounds weight. His owner, however,
has some doubt respecting his ability to go
much faster under more favorable circum
stances owing to his steeplechase antece
dence.
King Bill was named after the great W.
S. King, simply reversing the order. He
is a three-year-old dark bay stallion and
will start in the three-year-old race.
Madelon is a three-year-old mare, the es
pecial pride of her owner's heart, and it is a
pardonable pride, too. Not a few are the
best judges of horse flesh who predict that
she will carry off the laerels on Wednesday
in the three-quarter mile dash. She was
sired by Jim Sherwood out of Madalina by
Lightning. She shows mighty fast time in
trials and is worked every afternoon.
Unfortunately, L. A. Legg's fine stud of
thoroughbreds has been afflicted with a sort
of distemper, and although he will proba
bly start them, he is not overconfident of
success. La Belle N is as fine an animal
as oue would want to look upon, and she is
a great favorite in the pools. She did some
splendid work in Chicago last summer.
Alimeada is a fine three-year-old by
Springbank and is very promising. His
Ollie Becker has run on the Minneapolis
track and is recognized as a fast horse.
She is by imported Rapture.
L. W. Benson of Laquon, 111., has ar
rived with his string of thoroughbreds.
His Trix, 6 years old, is the most notable,
and will start in the mile-heat race. It will
be a close rub between Trix aud Fleur de
Lis. Trix was sired by West Roxbury.
Hyder Abed is a promising colt by Ilyder
Ali, and will start in the three-year-old
one-half mile dash. Panola by Pantaloon,
dam by Pat Maloy, will start in the two
year-old dash race.
S. C. Williams will start Ella Rowett in
the mile dash. She is a thoroughbred bay
mare, bred by Gen. Rowett in lowa. She
was sired by Uncle Vick, by Lexington,
and her dam is Momona by imported Sov
ereign. She may also start in the heat race.
DesMoines is a fine-looking two-year-old
chestnut gelding by Hyder Ali, dam Anna
Belle.
Isaac Staples' famous Gov. Neptune,
who won the cup race- in this city, will
probably start also in the mile dash and the
heat race. There are several other runners
expected who have not arrived yet.
Base Ball.
The Chicago club is still in the lead in
the race for the National league pennant,
although the club drQpped two games to
Philadelphia during the. week, one of which
was a "whitewash." Detroit also gave
Providence a goose egg, tut took one in re
turn at the next game, the third being post
poned. The New York club is playing a
strong game, and won each of its three
games with Buffalo. Boston' has,picked up
somewhat during the week, taking three
straight games from St. Louis. The De

on account of rain. Following is the

How Every Christian Mother Gets

Dr. Tulmusre's Sermon,
Subject: A First-Rate Mother.
Text: I. Samuel, ii. 19: "Moref-«r, his
mother made him a little coat and brought
it to him from year to year, when she came
up with her husband to offer the yearly
sacrifice."
The story of Deborah and Abigail is very
apt to discourage a woman's soul. She
says within herself: "It is impossible that
I ever achieve any such grandeur of char
acter and I don't mean to try." As though a
child should refuse to play the eight notes
because he cannot execute a "William Tell."
This Hannah of the text differs from the
persons I just now named. She was an or
dinary woman, with ordinary intellectual
capacity, placed in ordinary circumstances,
and yet, by extraordinary piety, standing
out before all the ages to come the model
Christian mother. Hannah was the
wife of Elkanah, who was a per
son very much like herself — unromantic
and plain, never having fought|a battle or
been the subject of a marvelous escape.
Neither of them would have been called a
genius. Just what you and I might be,
that was Elkanah and Hannah. The bright
est time in all the history of that family
was the birth of Samuel. Hannah stands
before us then in the first place as
AN INDUSTRIOUS MOTHER.
There was no need for her to work.
Elkanah, her husband, was far from poor.
He belonged to a distinguished family; for
the Bible tells us he was the son of Jero
ham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tolin,
the son of Zuple. "Who were they?" you
say. Ido not know; but they were distin
guished people, no doubt, or their names
would not have been mentioned. Hannah
might have seated herself in her family, and
with folded arms and disheveled hair
read novels from year to year, if there had
been any to read; but when I see her'mak
ing that garment and taking it over to Sam
uel, 1 know she is industrious from princi
ple as well as from pleasure. God
would not have a mother become a
drudge or a slave; He would have
her employ all the helps possible in this day
in the rearing of her children. But Han
nah ought never to be ashamed to be found
making a coat for Samuel. Most mothers
need no counsel in this direction. The
wrinkles on their brow, the pallor on their
cheek, the thimble-mark on their finger at
test that they are faithful in their maternal
duties. The bloom and the brightness and
the vivacity of girlhood have given place for
the grander dignity and usefulness and
INDUSTRY OP MOTHERHOOD.
But there is a heathenish idea getting
abroad in some of the families of Ameri
cans. There are mothers who banish them
selves from the home circle. For three
fourths of their maternal duties they prove
themselves incompetent. They are igno
rant of what their children wear and what
their children eat and what their children
read. They entrust to irresponsible persons
these young immortals and allow them to
be under influences which may cripple
their bodies or taint their purity or spoil
their manners or destroy their souls. From
the awkward cut of Samuel's coat you
know his mother Hannah did not make
it. Out from under the flaming chandeliers
and off from imported carpets and down the
granite stairs there is come a great crowd
of children in this day, untrained, saucy,
incompetent for all practical duties of life,
ready to be caught in the first whirl of crime
and sensuality. Indolent and unfaithful
mothers will make indolent and unfaithful
children. You cannot expect neatness and
order in any house where the daughters see
nothing but elatternness and upside-downa
tiveness in their parents. Let Hannah be
idle, and most certainly Samuel will grow
up idle. Who are the
INDUSTRIOUS MEN
in all our occupations and professions?
Who are they managing the merchandise of
the world, building the walls, tinning the
roofs, weaving the carpets, making the
laws, governing the nations, making the
earth to quake and heave and roar and rat
tle with the tread of gigantic enterprises?
Who are they? For the most part they de
scend from industrious mothers who, in the
old homestead, used to spin their own
yam and weave their own carpets, plait
their own door mats and flag their own
chairs and do their own work. The stal
wart man and the influential woman of this
day, ninety-nine out of a hundred of them,
came from such an illustrious ancestry of
hard knuckles and homespun. And who
are those people in society, light as froth,
blown every whither of temptation and
fashion? — the peddlers of filthy stories, the
dancing- jacks of political parties, the scum
of society, the tavern-lounging, the store
infesting, the men of low wink and filthy
chuckle and brass breastpin and rotten as
sociations? For the most part they came
from mothers idle and disgusting — the scan
dal-mongers of society, going from house to
house attending to everybody's business but
their own; believing in witches and ghosts,
and horseshoes to keep the devil out of the
churu, and by a Godless life setting their
children on the *.
VERY VERGE OP HELL.
Again, Hannah stands before us an
intelligent mother from the way in which
she talked in this chapter, and from
the way she managed this boy you know
she was intelligent. There are no persons
in a community who need to be so wise and
well-informed as mothers. Oh, this work
of culturing children for this world and the
next. This child is timid and it must be
roused up and pushed into activity. This
child is forward and it must be held back
and tamed down into modesty and polite
ness. Rewards for one, punishments for
another. That which will make George
will ruin John. The rod is necessary in
one case, while a frown of displeasure is
more than enough in another. Whipping
and a dark closet do not exhaust all the
rounds of domestic disclipline. There have
been children who have grown up and gone
to glory without ever having had their ears
boxed. Oh, how much care and intelli
gence is necessary in the
BEARING OF CHILDREN!
But in this day, when there are so many
books on this subject, no parent is excusa-'
ble in being ignorant of the best mode of
bringing up a child. If parents knew more
of dietetics there would not be so many
dyspeptic stomachs and weak nerves and
inactive livers among children. If parents
knew more of physiology there would not
be so many curved spiues, cramped chests,
inflamed throats and diseased lungs as there
are among children.
Again, Hannah stands before us as a
Christian mother. From her prayers and
from the way she consecrated her hoy to
God I know she was good. A mother may
have the finest culture, the most brilliant
surroundings, but she is not fit for her
duties unless she be a Christian mother.
There may be well-read libraries in the.,
house; aud exquisite music in the par
lor; and the canvas of the best arrists
adorning the walls; and the wardrobe be
crowded with tasteful apparel; aud the
children be wonderful for their attainments
and make the house ring with- laughter and
inncceut mirth; but there is something
woful-looking in that house if it be not
also the residence of
A. CHRISTIAN MOTHER.
I bless God that there are not many
prayerless mothers — not many of them.
The weight of responsibility is so great that
they feel the need of a divine hand to help
and a divine voice to comfort and a divine
heart to sympathize. Thousands of mothers
have been led into the kingdom of God by
the hands of th-jir little children. There
are hundreds of mothers who would not
have been Christians had it not been for the
prattle of their little ones. Standing some
day in the nursery they bethought them
selves, "This child God has given me to
raise for eternity, What is my influence
upon it? Not being a Christian myself,
how can I ever expect him to become a
Christian? Lord, help me!" Oh, are there
anxious mothers who know nothing of the
infinite help of religion? Then I commend
to them Ilannah, the pious mother of
Samuel. Do not think it is absolutely im
possible that your children come up iniqui
tous. Out of just such fair brows and
bright eyes and soft hands and innocent
hearts crime srets its victims — extirpating
purity from the heart and rubbing out the
smoothness from the brows, quenching the
lustre of the eye and shriveling up and
poisoning and putrefying and scathing and
scalding and blasting and burning with
SHAME AND WOE.
Every child is a bundle of tremendous
possibilities; and whether that child
shall come forth in life, its heart
attuned to the eternal harmonies, and
after a life of usefulness on earth
go to a life of joy in heaven; or
whether across it shall jar eternal discords,
and after a life of wrong-doing on earth it
shall go to a home of impenetrable dark
ness and an abyss of immeasurable plunge,
is being decided by nursery song and Sab
bath lesson and evening prayer and walk and
ride and look and frown and smile. Again
and lastly, Hannah stands before us as the
rewarded mother. For all the coats she
made for Samuel; for all the prayers she
offered for him; for the discipline she ex
erted over him, she got abundant compen
sation in the piety and the usefulness and
the popularity of her son Samuel; and that
is true in all ages. Every mother gets full
pay for all the prayers and tears in behalf
of her children. That man useful in com
mercial life; that man prominent in the
profession; that master mechanic — why,
every step he takes in life has an echo of
gladness in the old heart that
LONG AGO TAUGHT HIM
to be Christian and heroic anil earnest.
The story of what you have done or what
you have written, of the influence you have
exerted, has gone back to the old home
stead — for there is someone always ready
to cany good tidings— and that story makes
the needle in the old mother's tremulous
hand fly quicker and the flail in the fa
ther's hand come down npon the barn floor
with a more vigorous thump. Parents love
to hear good news from their children.
But, oh, the pang of that mother who,
after a life of street-gadding and gossip-re
tailing, hanging on her children the frip
peries and follies of this world, sees those
children tossed out on the sea of life like
foam on the wave or nonentities in a world
where only brawny and stalwart character
can stand the shock! But blessed be the
mother who looks upon her children as
sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty!
Oh, the satisfaction of Hannah in seeing
Samuel serving at the altar; of Mother
Eunice in seeing, her Timothy learned in
the scriptures. That is the mother's recom
pense: to see children coming up useful in
the world, reclaiming the lost, healing the
sick, pitying the ignorant, earnest and use
ful in every sphere.
BETTER AGAIN.
Gen. Grant Passes a Good Night and
Feels Refreshed.
Mt. McGregor, N. V., June 28.— Gen.
Grant has usually received six minims of
morphine upon retiring at night. During
Saturday night the usual amount was ad
ministered, but it was given in two por
tions at different times. The hyperderinic
contains only three drops, and this, as
was the purpose, neutralized pain and
permitted the patient to* doze and
rest easy until about 2 o'clock. The
remaining three drops of the usual
nightly allowance was then administered
and sleep ensued. It is the purpose of the
physicians in giving the nightly allowance
of morphine to secure quiet with the first
half and to quiet sleep by aid of the second
half. After an interval of some hours the
result continued the judgment that
prompted the change, and was best stated
by the general about 11 o'clock to-day, when
he wrote as follows: "I have had the best
night I have had for many weeks. From
about 11 up to 5 o'clock this morning I was
scarcely awake, g and when I
was required nothing to relieve
pain. After that they gave me food every
time I got awake. The comfort continued
until 10:30 this morning, when the ulcer at
the corner of my mouth began to pain me.
The morning is so bad I may as well be
here as to get up." About 6 o'clock there
was
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
about the mountain. It continued briskly
until noon. The general remained
abed. At noon to-day Dr. Doug
las expressed belief that the
languor of yesterday was induced' very
largely by atmospheric conditions. At noon
yesterday the temperature had been 81, as
against 70 at the same hour to-day. The
doctor believed his patient was stronger to
day. During the night or morning his
voice was so clear that the doctor had from
his room heard the general talking with his
nurse, and at 11 o'clock to-day
it was quite audible. About 3 o'clock
the patient appeared on the piazza. The
rain had ceased and the sun broke through
the clouds. Through the afternoon Gen.
Grant was out of doors nearly two hours,
but went inside the cottage when the rain
began falling again, between 5 and 6 o'clock.
A pile of burning logs in the parlor fireplace
dispelled the chill or dampness. This time
Dr. Douglas, as a matter of
curiosity, tried the general's tem
perature and found it normal, at 98,
His pulse at the same time was seventy
two. There had been little or no coughing
during the day, the mucus secretions and
expectorations having subsided. He has
had a quiet and comfortable day. At 9
o'clock the general was composed for the
night. Soon after Dr. Douglas said: "If
I can judge anything by indications we are
to have a very good night. The indications
are just as favorable as last night. The day
has not only been one of quiet, but of act
ual rest."
Imprisoned for Polygamy.
Special to the Globe.
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 28.— The
opinion of the supreme court of the terri
tory in an appeal in the case of Cannon and
Mussey, who are serving terms in the pen
itentiary for polygamy, crushes the last
hope of the plural-wived elders. In the
lower court Chief Justice Zane held all that
was necessary to establish unlawful cohab
itation under the Edmunds law was proof
that the man occupies the same house with
two women whom he held out
as wives, though no marriage ceremony
had ever been performed and there had been
no actual cohabitation. Zane refused to ad
mit testimony that Cannon and Mussey had
lived witli but oue of their wives since the
passage of the Edmunds law. The supreme
court sustained the chief justice in every
particular, and as cases of unlawful co
habitation cannot be carried beyond this
court the prisoners have no chance of es
cape left except to flee. There were half
a dozen arrests on indictments to-day, among
them John Nicholson, editor of the News,
the Mormon organ. Penrose, the previous
editor, was indicted last winter, but eluded
the officers and is bow in England.

Virffinius in a JTlad House.
New York, June 28. — John McCullough
was yesterday afternoon handed over to thd
care of the Bloomingdale insane asylum au
thorities by three of his closest friends. Mr.
McCullough's mental weakness had been
well known for many months, but it ' had
assumed such alarming proportions lately
that this step, long deferred, was at last
considered, necessary. Mr. McCullough
spent Friday night at the St. James hotel,
whose proprietor, Capt. W. M. Connor,
is one of his oldest and nearest
friends. His room was over the
cafe, the roof of which made a species of
shed directly under the windows. Soon
after 9 o'clock yesterday morning Capt.
Connor, who had concluded that his friend
should be removed from all excitement and
had arranged a plan to take him to a quiet
retreat, sent a bell-boy to the room to see if
McCullough was awake. The boy returned
down stairs with the word that the actor
had answered his call. Thereupon Capt.
Connor Went to his guest's room. McCul
lough was still lying in his bed. "Hello,
old man," said Capt. Connor; "aren't you
going to get up to-day?"
"Why, what time is it?" responded Mc-
Cullough.
"It's after 9 o'clock."
"Weli. what difference does it make, 1
have nothing to do?"
"Well, I'll tell you, John. We received
an invitation from a particular friend of
mine," said Capt. Connor, producing a let
ter he had caused to be sent to him, "ask
ing me to meet him a little way up the
road to have a little lunch, and I would like
to have you go along. Will you come?"
"All right, I'll join you," answered Mc-
Cullough, and he arose to dress. Mi. Mc-
Cullough has not had the easy use of his
arms lately, and he was expected by Capt.
Connor to occupy some time in dressing.
After waiting over half an hour, and Mr.
McCullough not making his appearance,
Capt. Connor went again to his room.
Mr. McCullough was standing on the
floor, with his undershirt half on, and mak
ing labored efforts to get one arm in tha
sleeve. He was saying, "Confound this
shirt" as Capt. Connor entered. "Keep
cool, John," said the captain, "don't get
angry with the shirt,"' and this pacified him.
Then Connor called Drs. Mcßride and Mc-
Farland, who were waiting, and they cama
in. Connor introduced them as figends oi
his. The captain remarked to Mcßride,
"You have often seen McCullough
ON THE STAGE."
The doctor assented, and poor McCul
lough said, with a queer grin, "Yes, w«
were just talking about it." Connor an 4
Dr. Mcßride exchanged glances, and
the doctor held some conversation
with the sick man. , Afterward
both doctors made further examination oi
the patient, and, although they could not
scrutinize as closely as if they had been
willing to let their subject know what they
were doing, they became satisfied that th^
actor needed to be placed in the oare ol
professional nurses. Among the things' ha
said was that there had been two little
clxamberniaids dancing out on the shed a
while before. Capt. Connor had sent f<yi
Robert M. Taylor, of the firm of Degraal
& Taylor, and another friend of John Mc-
Cullough's, to come to the hoteL ,When
the actor's friends and physicians had held
a consultation it was determined to carry
out Capt. O'Connor's plan and take Mc-
Cullough to the Bloomingdale asylum. The
doctors made out their certificates, and
Chief Justice McAdam, of the city court,
SIGNED A COMMITMENT.
M and his three friends entered
a close carriage at the hotel door, about 2
o'clock iv tlie afternoon, and were driven
"up the load." On arriving at the asylum
the party was shown into the parlor. Dr.
Sanger Brown, the assistant medical super
intendent of the institution, soon came in
with another physician and they made an
examination of the patient. At its conclu
sion Dr. Brown sat down alongside of Mr.
McCullbugh on the sofa and said to him ia
a friendly way: "Mr. McCullough, youf
friends think it will be better for
you to leave the city with all its
excitement, and that right here would be 9.
good place for you to stop for a time. What
do you ihink?" "All right," was the
answer. "I think so, too. This is a nice
place, and I'll stop with you." Mr. McCul
lough was then taken upstairs to the hall
on the next floor, and told which
HIS ROOM WOULD BE.
It was one of six that opened onto a com
mon corridor. The occupants of these
rooms mingle together as they please, have
an exclusive dining-room and a billiard
table. The rooms and corridors are neatly
furnished, and from the windows facing
south a full view of the handsome grounds
of the institution is had. The
patients have the liberty of tlie grounds
many hours during the day, and are
taken for drives two or three times a week.
John McCullough expressed much pleasure
at his surroundings. Mr. Connor and the
other gentlemen soon went down to the
office and made arrangements that their
sick friend should remain at the asylum for
thirteen weeks and was to have a special
nurse. Dr. Brown said to-day that Mr.
McCullough was still very much pleased
with his temporary home. The doctor de
clined, however, to say whether or not he
thought the patient would ultimately re
cover. He wanted further experience with
the case before pronouncing an opinion.
Mr. McCullough said this afternoon that he
had never been so kindly treated in his life.
His family in Philadelphia have been noti
fied to come over and arrange certain legal
forms.
A carl's Terrible Death.
Special to the Globe.
New York, June 28.— Clara Schlag,
aged 17 years, met a terrible death to-night.
A young man who has been paying atten
tion to her was forbidden by her father to
see his daughter. The girl went out several
evenings in disobedience to the commands
of her father. This evening at 10 o'clock
she attempted to leave the house, when she
was intercepted by her father, who ordered
her to her room and in a few minutes the
noise of some object striking the pavement
was heard, followed by the moans of the
girl. She had jumped out of the third
story window. She was unconscious when
picked up and died soon after reaching a
hospital.
Cured By Prayer.
Special to the Globe.
Laukencebxjrg, Ind, June 28. — MIM
Rosa Warren, the sixteen-year-old 1 daughter
of Noble Warren, has been attending school
at Aldenburg, and the sisters of that insti
tution, as well as the young lady herself,
claim that she has been cured by prayer of
spinal meningitis. She was removed from
Aldenburg to the convent at Indianapolis to
be treated by Indianapolis physicians, but
on the night of her arrival there she spent
some hours in devotions, and rose a well
person, the physicians not even having seen
her. The truth of this story is vouched for
by Miss Warren, the mother superior, the
bishop and dozens of others.
