Dowager Marchioness of Ely. to India is be¬

LITERARY NOTES. 
Two months ago Dr. Rainsford, a well- 
known clergyman of this city, wrote an ar¬ 
ticle for Scribner’s Magazine on hunting in 
the Rockies. The number of grizzly bears 
and other savage animals killed by this gen¬ 
tleman is something enormous. The killing 
was done for “sport.” Dr. Rainsford’s hunt¬ 
ing cost him many dollars. He killed the an¬ 
imals for the pleasure and excitement which 
the killing afforded. Many persons have, 
since the article appeared, criticised Dr. R. 
They seem to think a clergyman should be 
able to find higher pleasures than those of a 
“pot hunter,” A teacher of morality should 
not take such pride m slaughter, according to 
these critics. IIoiv should a minister deport 
himself? That is a question which thousands 
of people have discussed before now, but no 
satisfactory answer has ever been reached. 
The ideal minister is an ideal man. He is the 
best thinker aud student in the neighborhood, 
the most sympathetic friend, the sternest to¬ 
wards evil and the gentlest towards good, a 
practical business man and with strength and 
skill enough to lead the boys at base ball. 
Such a man’s influence would be unbounded. 
Last week n woman tol l ns her experience 
at a county fair. Her little boy, who has been 
most carefully trained, made his first visit to 
such an exhibition. In one of the most con¬ 
spicuous places on the grounds, upon a large 
table, stood a well dressed mau. He carried 
under his arm a package of papers upon wliieh 
were printed a collection of vulgar songs. 
As a im tins of advertising his wares he pro¬ 
ceeded to shout out these songs in a tremen¬ 
dous voice which carried them to every per¬ 
son on tlie grounds. The authors of the sougs 
seemed to have done their best to keep on the 
line between vulgarity and indecency, aud 
the singer well knew how far to throw his 
voice into the latter territory. A crowd of 
people gathered about the table applauding 
the singer and buying the songs. Respectable 
men und women stood and smiled at the 
coarse jokes and gave silent encouragement 
to the exhibition. The little boy listened to 
the singing—it w as impossible to get out of 
range of that great voice. At night he tried 
to tell his father about the fair. The morti¬ 
fication aud shame of his parents can be im¬ 
agined wheu they discovered that their little 
boy could repeat verse after verse of these 
disreputable sougs. This is but one case out 
of a thousand, where little boys and girls too, 
brush against protected immorality. To say 
that they have got to know about it some day 
anyway, as many men do, is both thoughtless 
and foolish. If children require protection 
from hunger and cold bow much more do 
they need to be shielded from vice until they 
arc old enough to reason for themselves ? 
The Anarchists and Socialists on both sides 
of the water are holding meetings for the 
avowed purpose of aiding the seven men who 
are to be hung at Chicago. The point has 
been made in several recent magazine articles 
that if these Anarchists really wanted to help 
their brothers they would not meet at all, but 
keep remarkably quiet. The best law in the 
land has declared that the condemned men 
arc guilty. The blood thirsty fellows who 
drink beer and wave red Hags will not admit 
that the law has any authority over them. 
That is where they put themselves in a very 
small minority. Their resolutions are worth 
no more than a set of resolutions written by a 
crowd of pickpockets indignant because one 
of their number had been arrested. 
THE POST OFFICE CLUB. 
“ I reads mit my baper dot Yeneral Bain 
Butler haf peen interviewed on der subject oil 
how to get rich, ’ said Uncle Jacob the other 
evening. Sam Bluenose had just been telling 
how hard he had to work to make a living. 
There was a great mistake in the way wealth 
has been divided up, so Sam thought. Sam 
had bought half a pouud of candy and passed 
it around. Uncle Jacob had a gumdrop be¬ 
tween his teeth as be talked. “ If anybody in 
dis goundry knows how to get rich, I expects 
it vas old Bain Butler, und gonseguently his 
obiuions on dot subject vas ontitled mit re¬ 
spect. He says dot many young men most 
yeuerally fails in unvesting dere money Most 
effery man can earn sbust a little more than 
de cost of lifting. It vas vat dey doos mit dot 
difference dot makes all der shange petween 
lifling on top of gapital or liffing under labor. 
Bain Butler says dot most effery young mau 
wants to get rich right avav; gonseguently 
dey speculates und gets so far pehind pefore 
dey pegius dot dey neffer can catch out, ‘Yen 
a young man,’ snj*s Bain Butler, * gets a little 
money ahead, der saffest way for him to do is 
to invest dot money in improfed real estate. 
Let him puy a biece of laud, uo 
matter how schinall, und pay what he 
can, und give his notes for der rest. He can 
pay detn notes out off der money dot he safes. 
Dere will always be blenty off men to gif such 
a young mau a lift, pecause der dime will 
neffer come when such fellers will be too 
blenty, und people vas always attaeted by odd 
tings. Der broperty will not. run avav, gon¬ 
seguently der money is safe. Dot young man 
gits in der habit off sating uud has some ob¬ 
ject mit his money'. Before be knows it he 
has got several bieces of broperty all baid for. 
It pays to buy such broperty wheu it is solt at 
auction, pecause goot pargains can yeuerally 
be made den. Young men on der farm can 
get such broperty in der town sornedimes. 
All der farmers should help build up der 
towns. Der rent will pay der inderest uud 
der rice in der brice off dat broperty will help 
pay' for a goot farm. Bain Butler also says 
dot der young mau should always look arount 
for some youug womans dot is brudent und 
suliug und can cook a good meal of wittles. 
When der young man accumulates dot young 
w omans dere will be Plenty of inderest ou dot 
investment. Anoder ting dot Bain Butler 
forgot vas investing goot nature uud Pleasant 
words so dey will gif inderest. Isay's to my 
wive sornedimes. “we things about as much off 
each oder now as we effer did. We are not 
handsome und schmart some more—how is 
dot ?" Und my wife says “ We haf always 
dried to make tings hleasaut for each oder, 
uud sav’d shust as few unkind words ns Possi¬ 
ble und now wo are hating der inderest on dem 
investments in Pleasantness.” Uud I am sure 
dere is no money iuderost dot is haf so valu¬
