The courtship of Dr. Gilmore and
Miss Ivtller was very like all love
courlsh’ps have been since the world
began. It was replete with senti¬
ment, romance, and poetic language,
thought and feeing. The world was
really brighc, as reflected in the light
of their happy home”, to them it was
surpassingly grand - ; lovely. They
walked the ska oy Jan. culled flow¬
ers, looked out upon the beautiful
landscapes, and upon die bioad skv
and dibiout sturs, and wondered
throughfwhat ayfmffe sdr.dvv could
reach the world, or how any heart
couhl be sad.
They were married on a lovely
morni.ig in rhe early summer, and
set out immediately ou a wed-bog
tour across ..he Atlaurie. They re¬
turned ra the auriran v.iien the
leaves of tho forests were timed with
gold, and smt ieci down m life, occu¬
pying taeolu D,,'i. -J erected by
Ivellcr lo.ng b' io/'a, and ror another
bride. Dr. Gilmore ra.umed the
practice of his professio , ana his
wile took up tfie Liiread of lire wiio.e
it had been Ictt-off on her wedding
day.
Asrime sped on theie were few
changes in riie community, except
those wrought by thema<ch of time
RTie small manufactories flourished,
the harvests were bountiful, the lads
.and lasses wooed and won and mar¬
ried and w re happy, of I were pros¬
perous and peace and pien.y blessed

WH \T SPURGEON SAID.
Charles Spurgeon is probable the

is high authority among Christian s
of all denominations. Thefollowir g
extract f. oin one ot V r, Spurgeons
discourses, is appropriate ou any oc¬
casion, but more especially at this
time when the denomma ional pulse
is slightly quirked by die trouble at
FJbei ton.
“The most sectarian of all the seits
are those which boast that they are
not sects. This witness is line, and
every candid observer can confflrm it
These are not •he men to foster unity,
these where h lids are against all
who do not ng-.ce with them. We are
not nowreieiing specially to Camb
bellities, or Plyinouflii. or ritualists,
or Romanists, but to any and all of
those .who proudly venture to urge
peculiar claims to be the Church.
One of the first steps to unity wii]
be for these exeinrives to become Re¬
cently hum'.U', take their own
pieces end east away dice for all j
the delusion that they are anything
iu particular’. When men are con¬
tent to bo on a level with all who
love our Lord Jesus Christ iu siucer

every part of ! ’5 mystical body, as
well es iu their own lmib of if, (hey

way to in ity than they aie now in
themselves into the papal

enough to do to fulfil its own obh

ambitious to school its fellows into a

AN EVENING WITH A KING.
Festive Days of Kalakaua in New
York
New York, May 28.—Now that
Queen Kapiolani has left our shores,
after enjoying her fortnight’s sojourn
in New York in a style surpassing
even her experiences in Boston and
Sail Fraucisci, there is no impro¬
priety in mentioning the fact that
her royal spouse, King Kalakaiu*..
who is said to be mapprcciative of
her merits, spent some very festive
days when in tbis city about a dozen
years ago. There would, iu truth,
have been no impudence in speaking
of the fact even while she was here,
as she is all too well awaie of his
renown as a roysteving blade in
Honolulu, where be reigns King of
the Cannibal islands.
I spent, an evening ju company
with Kalakaua among a group of
friends, when be was in this city, the
only evening I ever crossed legs uni
der the table with a l;i g. lie quaf¬
fed with glee, moderation and digni¬
ty, sometimes through a straw, the
fragrant beverages that were mixed
for his pleasures, and lie mingled
the moments with sallies and good
mi or that gave zest to his compan¬
I venture the remark that
is the most democratic of kings,
as I have said, my acquain¬
with royalty bas been limited
to himself In tne course of the
evening I found my self alone with
him at a table over which
the smokatoL onx-iiigiu-s. I d ew out
the King ns lie fell into a
mood and became talkative. A few
questions about his country put him
at his best in a few moments. His
discourse was a revelation and a sur¬
prise to me, I found him to be a man
of many accomplishments and some¬
thing of a savant. His conversation
was full of knowledge and intelli¬
gence, not only regarding affairs,
but t ho other matters in the realm
of science, lie spoke of the natural
history of the eeyen islands over
which he reigns, nud wi/h which lie
bad the familiarity that could come
only throvgh aciffe observation and
study. He spoke of the native race
to ivhi'’’) he belonged, and interest¬
ed mi especially with tha idea which
he developed, that the race was not
of Asiauc origin, but had immigrated
or duffed at some unknown j eriod
of ti re fioi’n the VVc t coa.d of Me.vi
CO, c :d belonged, perhaps, to the
primitive stock from which sprang
the Joltees. He poiov.'d out certain
customs, and rejered to some tradi¬
tions a—ong the pc op/e of bis native,

a remarkable knowledge of ethnology

to be not o>*'v a loog-L L d ) oltti

by another reputation winch I found
him deserving.—John Svviuton.

O’BRIEN IN CANADA.
Speaking of ® Brien’j visit to
Canada, the Hartford Cenra..t says:
The ILutfonl Conrant makes
suggestion regarding Editor O
visit to Canada that is worth repeat¬
ing. “The going of O’Brien to
Canada to take the field against the
Governor General,” says the Couraut,
‘•is one of the most significant events
of modem times, for it is a demons¬
tration of faith in the influence of
public opinion upon the actual gov¬
ernment of nations; it is a democratic
movement a long way m advance of
any oilie.” recalled. And this is true
without t':e least re.'ercncc to ilia
cause of Iiish itidcw-ndeoce or of
home rule w iticli O Beien represents.
What an advance it is ou Fenian ism;
how lunnitejy inure effective it is for
O'Brien’s propose than a Wmiaii
inva-iou of Canada. It is war on
the largest scale yet attempted, for
it is a moral war. If this Irish aposlic
and his friend* are wise enough not
to provoke any violence, and not to
reply <o any, a great demonstration
will be made of popular power in
high places,”

S. C-, has the following to say
about asparagus;

THE NEW MARINE BONDER. TIIE UNIVERSITY DUELISTS
A Steamship Built t>* Revolution’ze
Occm n Travel.
Chore is under conslinotion in the
sleepy old town of Alouandria a
st.rnnsbip which, if it turns out to
be a success, wifi revolutionise oceai
travol. I went down to look at the
model the other day with Chief
Engineer Lonng of the navy and
otter experts, and they are not
pleased with the ji'nn. They think
tho ship i> going to bn u failure, but
ihey were very much interested in
the design a id will watch its pro¬
gress with in east. The iea ling
man in the enteiprise is Robin.t M
Fryer, a biother of Secretary Man¬
ning. lie designed the vessel got a
patent for it last January, and is
furnishing a good share of the mon¬
ey for its construction. Mr. Fryer
is the man who built the so-called
“Marine wonder” several years ago,
the ship that went on wheel and
could travel on land as well us water
of which so much was said in the
newspapers at that time. There was
never but one craft of that kind con¬
stricted, and sne now lies at //ast
ings-eii-tlie Hudson. Mr. Fryer says
thatlienifYu mr.de the claims ior
her that was represented in the
newspapers, but demonstrated by'h°r
construction that tho principal he
asserted was true, that a vessel couhl
be made winch would navigate on
land as wei) as ou water, t or lie U ok
b ; aeioss the land from ii o Harlem
' ar to the Hudson without loos¬
ening a joint.
Mr Fryer’s new enterprise is
something different, lie lias design¬
ed a vessel which he claims cannot
sink or burn mid that will have a
speed of twenty five miles nu hour
and will eioss the ocean in 5 days,
lie had organized a company, sold
£600,000 worth of slocks, and conic
to Alexandria to construct her,
where tiie keel is now being laid.
She is to Le 450 fee t long and 4(1 1
feet beam. 5,500 tons burden, m.d
have engines of 12,000 home power,
with a capacity for development ti
27,000 horse power. Her model is
similar )o that of the littlo "‘Stilet
to,” which can run as fast as a loco
mo live, and she is to be entirely lire
proof, no wood being used in l.er
construction except for doors and
the cabin trim migs. All the floors
will be ot marble and all partitions
of iron. She is to hive over a
thousand air end water tight com
parfuinnts entirely separate from
each other, so that she cannot sink.
Tha vessel is net iuiended to carry
f<right, but only passengers, mails,
aud treasure, and the space usually
given to freight w the hold m occu¬
pied with ihe-D air tighr contpuit

to destroy them all unless th* entire

intended to be to ocean travel what

Chancellor Midi, of the State Uni¬
versity, Ins thought proper lo reply
to tho recent attempt of two students
of the unlyeisity to light a duel.. He
cheerfully admits his responsibility
to the pi ess and the public for the
general principles controlling his
part in the administration of the uni¬
versity, rud considers it fortunate
tiro the press makes it a rule to free¬
ly discuss the university’s affairs. He
docs not believe in ri-santing ptcas
notices that are unfavorable, nor in
trying to intimidate into silence any
paper that shows a disposition to
criticise harshly.
Regarding the reason for restoring
the students to the university after
they had been excelled, the chan¬
cellor Bays, first they had been duly
punched. Their connection with
the university had been severed, and
they were compelled to return t,o
their homes. In this way the brand
of condemnation was placed upon
the criminal, barbarous and foolish
deed which they attempted to per
petrat». In the second place the
offenders did not commift an unpnr
(lonnble sin, and no sensible person
would wish the doors of all colleges
clo-ed against them. This being the
case; fliore is n ’ reasm why the uni¬
versity should be closed against
them. In the third place, the pun¬
ishment inflicted wa* before
whole world. The students
selves justifb d the university
ities, and declared that they
regretted having vio’ated the
sity laws. Their parents and their
friends acquiesced in the justice of
tin punishment inflicted. Finally,
prominent cilizcus, including trusties
ol the university, petitioned for the
restoration of the students.
The chiiiiceBor’s defense of his
course is complete and satisf ctory.
Tiie punishment inflicted was suffi¬
cient to maintain ti e dignity of the
university, and after their honest
confession of thoir error and the
pivssion ot their regret for having
violated the university law, there
was no good reason why they snould
have been reinstated.—-Savannah
