No where is the babe co honored as in thechurch; although in the oivilized oitiea of

(America, like B :ston, New York and Min-1neapolis, mothers forget the love theyshould bear their children.

One of the signs of the truth of God's 'church is that the poor have the gospel!preaohed to them.

The laborer is honored and protected bythe church, while in heathen natipns he isdespised atid dishonored. In heathen In-dia it is believed that from Brahma'smouth came tbe priests; from bis shoul-ders the kings and governors; from hisbody the artizins and agriculturists and Ifrom his feet tho laborers. They are tho |lowest ia ciste. Men in onr day are at- ;

tempting to revive heathenism, but, my jbrethren, you now see how heathenismcompares with Christianity. In conclu-sion he asked his ilock to reverence theholy name of Jeans, and lamented the fre-quency with which that device name isblasphemized, even by the Catholic youthof thi3 city.

Hithertothe people of Minneapolis haye never hadsuch a chance oi knowing what a numberof good ;'.rti«ts they had in their midst,and it is full time that we should appreci-ate them as they deserve.

There is no longer need that we haverecourse, for the decoration of our houses,to showy chromoa or vulgar paintings\u25a0manufactured by ignorant daubers, whichhave a certain tendency to destroy oartastes, or when we v?lch for pood pictures,to allow ourselver. to be vic*i_iized by thefabrieants of "old masters.

We have seen iv tho Athenaeum libraryin the "Illustrated London News," of 1879,April2S, page 391, anotice ofMr.Vincent deGermaiii's successful competition againstBritish artists for the "Tajlot" art schol-arship. He has devoted seven or eightyears to the study of art under tho bestmasters in Paris and Atwerp. His workshave been accepted in the Paris salonand conspicuously placed. The littlewater color, "AtCharenton, on the Mame"(1664), was on the line in tho salon of 1833,when of 11,000 pictures cent from allparts of the world only 2,500 to 3,000 wereaccepted. We hope that withsuch a record of Europeansuccess, Mr. Vincent de Germain will receive every inducement to remain amongus, by the speedy sale of his works.

Mr. Weinard, an artist who has aban-doned the more artistic medium, oil paint-ing, for a more money making fresoo,contributed some very good works. His"Italian boy" (.1,627) is an academy studydone by him in the Brussell's academy ofarts, which won for 'aim at the time, firstprize for painting. It is most artistic inits style and coloring. ''Hot Soup"(ljC32) is a very good copy from the pic-ture in the Bruspell gallery, by JaqueßJordaens, pupil of Rubens. One of ourcontemporaries said that it was an originalstudy done in Manich.

THE HANDTHAT ROCKS THE •WORLIX

[William Ross Wallace.]Blessings on the hand of woman !

Angels guard bar strength and grace .In the cottage, palace, hovel,

O, no matter where the place!Would that never storms assailed, it;

Rainbows ever gently curled;For the hand that rocks the cradle

Is the hand that rocks the world.

Infancy's the tender fountain;Power may with beauty (low,

Mothers first to guide the streamlet,From them souls unrest grow.—

Grow on for the good or evil,Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;

For the hand that rocks the cradleIs the hand that rocks the world.

"Women how divine your mission• Here upon our natal sod;

Keep, oh keep the young heart openAlways to the breath of God!

Alltrue trophies of the AgesAre from Mother Love impearled;

For the hand that rocks the cradleIs the hand that rocks the world.

Blessings on the hand of woman!Fathers, sons and daughters cry,

And the sacred song is mingledWith the worship of the sky—

Mingles where no tempest darkens,Rainbows evermore are curled;

For the hand that rocks the cradleIs the hand that rocks the world.

OUR RAILROAD FUTURE,

The Outlines of the Railroad Conquest

of Our Continent. •

A Bffetwork ofRoads Which WillIn.elude Canada and Mexico—-

Annexation and a Pro-tectorate.

[Chicago Tribune.]Ths rapidity with which tha railroad en-

terprises in Canada and Mexico are beingpushed to completion suggests some exceed-inglyinteresting forecasts with regard to thaeffects that may be expected to follow intrade and trade legislation, in politics and inpolitical geography, as well as in the per-sonal habits and prosperity of the people ofthe North American continent. The CanadianPacific, it is now announced, vrill be done intwo years. It is already graded for 1,000miles, clear up to the Rocky mountains. Itsprojectors ridicule the rumors of finan-cial embarrassment which have lately gotafloat. They have, according to their state-,ments, enough money on hand of their ownand the government's aot only to finish thajroad, but to equip it. ho work on the Mex-ican Central, the Boston enterprise, is pro-ceeding so much more rapidly than at firstplanned that it will be finished next springinstead of late in the summer. Besides thisroad, which runs down from El Paso, thereis another in active construction from Laredosouthward which v.-ill be done next summer.These roads ran from the north down to theCity of Mexico. There is another transconti-nental road on a small scale which is beingpushed through from Tampico de Tamauli-pas, on the gulf of Mexico, to San Bias, onthe Pacific.

.THE FUTURE FORESHADOWED.

The grand outlines of the railroad conquestof the American continent will bj filled inwith the driving of the last spikes of thesoenterprises. Much in the way of details willremain to be inlaid in our mosaic ofrailroads,but the main design will be completed. Thocontrol of the enormous system will bo thecontrol of the industry of the Americancontinent. Where this control is likelyto rest is probably foreshadowed in thefact that the direction and constructionof these enterprises ia now almost en-tirely in the hands of Americans. Thelines into Mexico are being pushed by Amer-ican financiering and American brains^ andtbd great tine across Canada, though sab-aidized by Canadian gifts of land and track,is in the hands ofa syndicate in which Amer-ican influence is predominant. Canada foundite highest inspiration for the generosity withwhich it treated the Canadian Pacific fa theidea that thereby it would obtain an inde-pendent line across ' from ocean to ocean onCftondian soil, bat it is already plain that theCanadian Pacific will be bat a spur of thamighty mileage of the United States.

THE TAKKBE IEBESIBTIBI.E.The confederating tendencies at work in

the American network ofrailroads cannot boresisted by the Mexican and Canadian roads.The same irresistible attractions of trafficthatmake tho Grand Trunk of Canada more en-ergetic in extending its American than any.other connections will ] "II the CanadianPacific towards American business. Mexicanrailroad development must inevitably fallinto tributary relations to the two or threecorporations and pools that have tho south-west now entirely in their possession. Thefew foreign stockholders these various enter-prises have will drop out one after anotherwhenever there is a flurry in the stockmarket, for they will not have the abiding

faith of those on the ground. One of theleast remote consequences of the completionof the lines into Mexico may be tho descentof the English road between Vera Cruz andthe City of Mexico into American hands.That corporation has had a monopoly whichit has improved by the most extortionatecharges of 10 or 12 cents a mile forpassengers and as much for the freight of ahundred pounds as our roads charge for aton. The American lines will break up thisextortion and cut down the profits of the oldroad to a point that will very likelymake itspresent owners glad to sell out at a sacrificeto their competitor.

AS THE RAILROADS MAY SAY.On 3of the first things the railroad intjresi

willwant, north as well as south, will be themodification of the restrictions put on tradebetween the United States and its neighbors.Railroads are for transportation, and thatmeans trade. The taxes, and inspections,and regulations about bonding and all thatgoes with frontier meddling with trade willall cut into the receipts of the railroads, andthose corporations willbe certain to use theirinfluence to have the way made smoother fortheir benefit. The ratification of the Mexicanreciprocity treaty, which comes up in "Wash-ington next winter, willbe very likely to goas the railroads say. The half-dozen poolsthat willcontrol the railroad business of thewhole continent from Hudson's bay to thegulf of Tehuantepec will have a scanty re-1spect for the imaginary lines that divide their Ipolitical dependencies. They will effect a Icommercial annexation which willbe more Ithan likely to result in political annexation Iin the north and perhaps a protectorate in the Isouth.

THE HEBOIc'Tr.EATMEST.Awar with Mexico is by no means one of

tha impossible consequences of the railroadinvasion of the Cactus Republic. The gov-ernment has incurred very heavy obligationsto half a dozen American corporations forsubsidies. The Mexican has never bean re-nowned for his fidelity to financial engage-ments. Ifthe Mexican government, in one.of its fits of repudiation, should attempt tothrow over its American beneficiaries, thepowerful men who are interested in thosesubsidized enterprises—men like Gen. Grantand Jay Gould—might find iteasy enough tosmbroil the two countries in a struggle thedisguised object of which would be reachedwhen Mexico was put under a protectorateand all its obligations towards American en-terprises assumed by the United States, se-cured by Mexican revenues and Mexicanproperty.

INTO A NEVT CAREEB.. The entrance of American methods oftransportation, bringing American capital,energy and enthusiasm into the ancientstupor of Mexican wealth, will be certain tosend that country forward with an immenseboned in a new career. The mere rise of thelow level of the Mexican prices to the higherAmerican averages will be a cruickener

THEHILLI!CLLECTION.

We will do* just inke a cursory glance atthe pictures in the collection loaned byJ.J. Sill, of St. Paul, which, for so verys;nail a collection, is perhaps one of therichest we have s-een compresstd, so tospeak, in a nut shell.

The Evening Journal says that the pic-tures are all masterpieces of the Frenchschool. The critic of the E. J. is not quiterightly informed.

The two best works in it are by Spanishartists, though residents of Paris? Thecritic of the Journal cannot have seen thepicture, "Blindman's Buff," or ho wouldnot have said that it was by C. H. Ban-quiet. The name of Cossanova, the greatSpanish French artist, is sufficiently wellknown, and is legiole enough tinder thepicture. The great artist has in this pic-ture erred very much against the propor-tions of the human figures of the Spanishladies, but the drawing of ILo hands isreally beautiful and the paintingof the furniture nod int. rior is remark-able for that park'e and brilliancy forwhich the Spanish reliant not Is.

Fortnny,whose b • w< rk» are possessed, by ourich countryman Mr. Stewart, i> his gal-cry, situated oh the Heine, in Paris.

This is an excellent specimen of Jirfl-nez' ait, and figured, we believe, three 'rears ago in the Paris fcftlon. la drawingand expression thin pictare is fault!***. Itis titled "The Bahearsal," An old cardinaltits listening to the rehearsal of somegrand mass surrounded by moiki and re-ligions dignitaries of all kinds. The va-riety of expression on all the faces is ,ns-toniihing, from the earnest attention ofthe musicians to the anxious excitement ofthe leader of the orchestra. One sees !the same heads of favorite \models repeated frequently—such jas the cardinal and the !prelate sitting just behind bin, those same jfeatures can be seen repeated through the icrowd frequently. This single modern jpicture possesses qualifications that make jit more valuable than all the Murillos that \u25a0

can be purchased. It :s the g«m of theart loan collection.

An artist who paints most beautifuleffects of nature, chiefly Turkish and Moor jish scenes, without the same minuteness of \u25a0

detail, or faultlessnesa of drawing is Mr. jBenjamin Constant and who c pictures arescarcely less valuable. His pictures are veryvalued in Paris, where there are comevery line specimens in the Luxemburg gal- jcry. He is superior to his master Caba- !lei us an artist, and his works are much

more highly prize:!. We may pride our-selves on having here a very fine exampleof his art, the Moo ish architecture beingbeautifully rendered and the gracefulabandon o* the Turkish female figuresvery well delineated. This style is remark-able for its ease and simplicity. There isin this collection a picture byMaroius Simon, a very popularFrench artist, though net the most artistic,his wor&a have been very much litho-graphed and photographed but his paint-ing wants the warmth and artistic quali-ties that are visible in the great works be-Bide it. Mr. Parks' sculpture "Love Tri-umphant" is in this room. It is a won-derfal work, the marble seems so flesh-like.

Tlie Vaudeville Temple.

It is a matter of surprise to visitors inthis city from Chicago that a Vaudevilletheatre can afford to engage such fine va-riety or specialty talent in a city so far inthe west, and when two other theatres arewell supported. Bat Manager Brown haslearned the lesion that people do sot careto pay money to witness the tort evolutionsof bad dancers, nor to listen to the mu-icof alleged vo2?lists. Hcuce none but thebest-can secure an engagement. Lastweek scored another success, but this weekpromises to be even better in the engage-ment of a number of new artists.

of painting according to their different de-grees of talent. First in the list of almostequal skill are Mrs. West and Miss Rob-son. The former is represented by a verypretty picture in water color —a fancy por-trait, entitled "Girlshead (1662). Thepose is quite graceful and the picture veryattractive. Her screen, the "Seasons"(1601), would graoe the richest drawingroom in the land. Miss Robson's exhibitis of a mnch simpler nature, but scarcelyless worthy of commendation. Her apples,"Jonathans" (1603). though not to elab-orated or to superfluously arranged, savormore of nature and less of wax fruit thanthe productions of a certain easternartist whose werki are very much over-rated, but ofwhom it would be consideredheresy to say a word of dispraise. MissRobson'e apple* Send a pleasant glow ofoontoor nbout the corner in which theyare. Sho also has a pleasing water colorsketoh "a gateway in Seville" 1663. Next

met Miss Mann, wko, for so young emartist, shows promise of quite a successfulfuture. Of her two pictures of still life(1609 and 1634) the latter representing thetable ofa stndent or literary person, ismuch the more artiitie work. Everythingis painted with great fidelity and a pleas-ing tone pervades the picture.

The other picture, though a more pop-ular subject is inclined to hardness intreatment. Next in order of merit combs

Misa Wetherbee whose "Portland harbor,"a misty marine, is of an atmosphericeffect which is very natural. She also hasa fireplace of decorated porcelain tiles(1708) which want ef space obliged to beput in the amateur room, where they areqnito cut of place, the flight of the swal-low and foliage are very well rendered.Another lady whoso works are well worthyof a placa in the£r.rti?t's room, as she isconsiderably above the grade of amateur,is Mrs. Williams. Her talent is quite ver-satile. She is represented by a porcelainplaque painted in verifiable colors, theframe of which is ulso carved by heretlf,likewise a carved walnut cabinet (1771 and1772). iliaa C. V. Shaw's Western Trap-per (1660) in water color, iforiginal, is awork of considerable merit. We thinkwe havo seen somewhere an engrav-ing of her ';Roinan Lady" (1617). Whetherthe engraving was copied from herwork or not is difficult tosay. The lady is of the modernorgan grinding class ofRoman ladies, andnot remarkable for the straightness of hervisual orbs. Reading the title one wouldexpect to see some toga clad matron ofimperial Ceasar's days. Miss Naegle'a

';Nydia, the bllng girl,"(1602) wants origi-nality, and is tame in execution. Hertapestry painting "Childhood," (1667),the subjeot of which was published sometime 'ago in the "ArtAmateur" does notsufficiently resemble the original, cbieflyon account of the human appearance ofthe dog. Miss Butler's tapestry, (1,668.1779), are considerably better. Miss

Clara Ilowells has a pretty water-color of"The Little Sisters" (1677) which, withMisas Place's water-color, "The Armour,"(1661), and Mrs. Floyd'* portraits, (1,653,1678) complete the list of all that arenoteworthy among the lady artists.

We will now take a turn among the gen-

tlemen artists. Tiiero are two portraitsby Mr. Bradish, Sir C. MetctiU (1611) and

Thurlow Weed. (1613) the latter is macii

the beet. They are painted in such acold-fashioned style that one would imaginethat he was portrait painter in ordinary to

Ncah and his family. However, so longas he does not attempt figure composition,ho will not make any very great failure,

FIFTH HEW TOES CAVALRY.A Regiment of Over Three Ttiousind

Enlistments and Nearly Two Hun-dred Battles.

[Letter in New YorkTimes.]The account by "Harris Light Cavalry" of

the capture of Lee's last rations is undoubt-edly true. They were a splendid regiment.Ifeel inadequate to do them justice, for theyare deserving of much honor. They wereled to the gates of Richmond several timesby Gens. Kilpatrick and Sheridan. Therewas a detachment of the Karris light cavalrywith Col. Ulric DaWgren's famous "fivehundred" that was made up from differentregiments. He led them inside the citylimits of Richmond on that dark and terriblenight, March 1,15G4, and they were the firstUnion troops that entered Richmond, any-thing to the contrary notwithstanding.

As a member of the Fifth New Yorkcavalry (Isa Harris guards) I must, in jus-tice to my regiment, take exception when hesays the Second York cavalry partici-pated in more engagements than any regi-ment in the Union army. He claims ]00 en-gagements and 8,000 enlistments on its mus-ter-rolls, which isa glorious record. But thehistoric records of . the Fifth New Yorkcavalry show 171 engagements, and durin<»its four years of service it had 3,033 enlist>ments on its muster-rolls. The originalveterans remaining: July 10, IS'«. numberedIG7. Iwill quote the late secretary of warE. M. Stanton, in reference to the FifthNew York cavalry, after the battle of CedarCreek, Va., Oct. 10,- ISO4, that it was the bestregiment in the United States service, andhad captured more artillery and battle-flagsand participated in mora engagements thanany other regiment in the Union service. Imay not have; written the words exactly ashe said them, but they are correct in themain: "Harris Light Cavalry" will pardonme if I tell him what the Fifth New Yorkcavalry did on that day at Cedar Creek, Va.,although the Harris Light Cavalry didyeoman service that day, as didall of Custer'sdivision. After turning both flanks of theenemy and driving it in confusion acrossCedar creek, on the right, the division wasleft in command of Col. A. C. M. Penning-ton, Jr., when the gallant Custer took theFirst Vermont and the Fifth New Yorkcavalry and changed front to the left at* agallop. . ;.'•\u25a0' • ''-•'\u25a0

There was no cheering. The creek wasforded. The gallant Custer dashed by, say-ing: "Boys, when you get after that artilleryIwant you to go forit!" Inour haste to geta position on the lull we resembled a flockofsheep more than a regiment, and before wehad time to get in line Custer sang out- "Gofor them, boys!" The bugle sounded thecharge. Then came that terrible yell. Wohad 300 yards to go to meet the enemy. Therebels delivered one fierce volley, and tbonext instant the pitiless sabres of our menand the iron heels of the horses were doingtheir work. Itwas now dark. The chargecontinued for three miles. The bloodyground, thn broken muskets, the dead andwounded told of the ferocity. Only thedarkness of the night put an end to theslaughter. Sheridan's victory was complete.We captured forty-five of the fourty-eightpieces of artillery taken from the enemy onthat day, also many battle-flags and prison-ers, and, in fact, we captured everythingGen. Darly had that rolled onwheels. Therewere in both regiments less than 500 men.Never in the war was so much gained. Noris there anything in the annals of warfare tocompare with it. Ido not doubt that hadthe Second New York cavalry the same op-portunity they would have dons just as wellas we did.That Bis Thins: in litre, Comparison

The Italian Soldier.[London News.]

The Italian soldier, as a rule, is short andsquare built and his general appearance con-veys the impression of a not over robustphysique. But see him marching and it soonbecomes apparent that he possesses morestamina than one would give him credit for.How nnmurmnringly he trudges for hours ata, time along a dusty road under a hot sunwith his heavy knapsack on his bad: and hisrifla slung acrous his shoulder. And our sur-prise is increased when we find what meagre-rations he has to sustain him under all histoil.

His chief meal consists of soup made withlard, meat and rnacearoni or some other kindof paste. His mess is prepared in large caul-drons, round which at a given signal the mengather each with a tin can, into which ispoured a not very abundant supply of soupand an almost invisible lump of meat. Insetting out on a long march the soldier drinksthe soup and keeps the meat to eat on theroad. Besides this he gets coffee withoutmilk in the morning and about two poundsof bread to last him throughout the day. Atumbler of wine is served out to him on anaverage every third or fourth day in theyear.

Ifhis food is Spartan in its simplicity hisdress is eqally exempt from the charge ofluxury. A loose coat of coarse, grayish bluecloth covers the infantry soldier from neckto knee. His trousers aro of the same ma-terial, but when marching the latter are ex-changed for canvaa trousers, and when work-ing in camp, a canvas tunic is donned insteadof tne coat. His headgear is a kepi, verylike that in use in the French army.

As regards their general disposition, Imayremark that they are docile, obedient to theirsuperiors, well-behaved, cheerful and labo-rious. Intimes of danger and disaster, asduring the cholera of ISG7, the inundations oflast year, and the occasion of the recentearthquake at Ischia, they work with an ar-dor and self-devotion which is gratefullyrecognized by their fellow-citizens.

Eeaeonsileld and the Wine-Cap.[Temple Bar.]

To the end of his life Disraeli ' always atevery sparingly when alone; this enabled himto keep a good appetite for public occasions,thereby rebutting the presumption which hispale face suggested—that he was consump-tive. In this connection some remarks or hiaabout wine may be mentioned. Hard drink-ing was in fashion during his youth, and atpublic dinners men who let the bottle passwere hardly regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli,who could never stand much wine, suffered agood deal from this social usage, and he sethimself to study the demeanor of men whocould drink deep without beins any the worsefor it. Lord Melbourne was one of these, andhe gave Disraeli a wrinkle by saying: "Youcan drink if you don't talk; if you taifc muchyou needn't drink, for people will thinkyou're drunk and let you alona"

It is obvious that the excitement of coni-e*-satioii i-juft co-operate powerfully with them:_iLj.: f wine in making the brain riij.Disrac ii 1 aving noted this tact, went furtherinto the subject by observing that a man'sc onv vial propensities are ahvay.s taken forgrrmted .fhe talks in praiso of wice and ap-pears to be very critical about it. Some oflas remarks savoring of the most refinedepicuricnism may therefore be ascribed solelyto lii--,tt inperate desire to findexcuses for notdriakiug.

JJarely in Time.[The Continent.]

"By the way, Iwas speaking to a veryintelligent station-master the other dayabout the crop of holiday railway accidents.'Do you think,' I said, 'it has much to dowith the long hoursP He at once replied,

I with the utmost warmth and eagerness: 'Sir,• you can take your stand upon that. Ifyou1 are ever in company where that question is

started you willbe right in denouncing thehours. No one willbe able to reply to youthen. Undoubtedly, the men are worn out,oppressed and fatigued beyond all powers ofattention.

" 'Look at that poor fellowin yonder signal-box,' and he pointed to one hard by; 'he hasbeen there for twelve hours at a stretch—every day it is the same thing. That man

I has not even time to snatch a quiet meal, no' rest, dare not relax for a minute. Well,jwhat's the consequence! Some break down

Philadelphia, Dec. B.—Judge Finletterin a long opinion, sustained the warrants'or arrest against Win. C. Barret and Ed-

ward J. Cattell, broke™, accused of em-bezzlement by August Boyd, and orderedeach of the defendants to furnish securityin $20,000 to answer at court. Mr. Boydpurchased, through the firm of which thedefendants were members, Reading rail-road scrip to the amount of $234,300, andwhich he left in the custody of the firmwith the understanding that it was not tobe sold, but was to be kept untilcalled in by the railroad company. Thedefendants claim the scrip was bought tobe sold again, and the differences only tobe settled between them and Boyd. Thescrip was subsequently hypothecated bythe firm and the money obtained there-from lost in speculation. The defendants'answer to the charge of embezzlementwas, first, that all transactions were stockgambling and illegal; second, they had toappropriate the money to their own use,and therefore the debt was not fraudulent-lycontracted; third, that the usages andpractices of brokers warranted all theydid.jftWß SUICIDE.
