Benjamin Butterworth’s lecture be fore the Canadian Club in New York cm Thursday night, on the subject of a com mercial union between the United States and Canada, was not only a very strong presentation of facte in favor of free trade between the two countries, but was indi rectly a strong argum'uit against the doc trine of protection. Mr. Butterworth is a Republican, and claims to be a protection ist, but the arguments he used in his lecture to supjy -rt his position are hardly the kind which find favor with protectionists. In the last Congress Mr. Butterworth in troduced a bill providing for a commercial union with Canada, anti it is not improbable that a similar bill will be introduced in the present Congress. The sentiment in favor of removing the barriers to trade between the two countries is growing. There does not appear to be any good reason for a line of custom houses along the entire Canadian frontier to prevent people, speaking the same language, having the same religion and di vided only by an imaginary line, from trad ing freely with each other. The American people, whenever the con ditions have been equal, have always been able to maintain themselves in comjietition with any other people, and it is safe to say Unit if the custom houses along the Cana dian frontier are removed American interests will suffer no harm. The claim is made t hat without protection American fishermen would be ruined. The fishermen of this country' would be able to take tare of them selves, and if they have an even chant* with the fishermen of Canada and fail to corn fs-te successfully with them they will prob ably admit tliat they have no reason to complain. Thy will not fail, however, be cause they have the courage, energy and skill to win success. There is no reason in favor of freer trade with Canada that cannot lie urged in favor ot freer trade with Mexico and the Central and South American republic*. In fact, Mr. Butterworth admitted in his lecture tliat Mr. Blaine was strongly in favor of a commercial union with those republics. When such Republicans as Blaine and But terworth want free trade between all the countries of North and South America, there is mini- reason for hoping that it will not lie long before the war tariff will be greatly reduced. If a commercial union be tween this country and the countries above named should lie established and should prove to lie advantageous to them, a modifi cation of our present tariff system would quickly follow. fMr. Butterworth explained that he was a protectionist to the extent of protecting infant industries until they become strong enough to stand alone, but he was not in favor of jiroteeting such industries after they hail grown enough to wear overcoats and number ten shoes. There are a great many industries in this country which reached the overcoat and number ten shoes period long ago, but they call as lustily for protection now as they ever did. They have become great monopolies, and they want to be pro tected against legitimate competition at the expense of the people. New Jersey Sensations. New Jersey, the alleged abode of justice, has been greatly disturbed within the last few days by two events, the like of which have not occurred within her borders since her old men were children. One of them was a trial for blasphemy and the other was a challenge to mortal combat. Events like these are calculated to make the drowsy farmers and gentle Quakers of the jieai-e --loving State feel tliat they are drawing closer to the great, trobbing world tlum ever before! The blasphemy trial occurred at Morris town, a pretty village in the upper part of the Ktate. The defendant was cx-Rev. Charles B. Reynolds, who, from all ac counts, is a very bad man. Ho published u pamphlet a few months ago ifi which he denied the truth of the Bible, reviled the be lievers in it, and presented a picture repre senting himself as a philanthropic mis sionary casting js-arls before swine, the swine being intended to represent the spiritual flocks of the town herded by their respective pastors. Reynolds was defended by Robert Inger soll, who had very little to say about the charge against Reynolds, but who made one of his most eloquent speeches in defense of l'lierty of speech. He eliarmed the jury with his talk, ami gave a graphic descrip tion of the barbarities practiced by the Puritans upon the inoffensive Quakers when they first came to this country, because of their religious belief. The wily Ingersoll was extremely careful to sny nothing that was in the least offensive to those entertain ing the most orthodox religious views. The challenge to fight a duel will hardly come to anything because public sentiment in New Jersey doesn’t encourage anything of that kind. The principals to it are ex- Sergt. Max P. Boehmo, of Beverly, nnd Cupt. William B. Miller, of Camden. Cajit. Miller commands company C, of the Sixth New Jersey Regiment, and Boehme was a Sergeant in the company. The Sergeant was court-martialed and dismissed from the company a year or so ago, nnd about six weeks ago he concluded to get mad about his dismissal. Thinking that Capt. Miller was to blame for his disgrace he made up his mind to chal lenge tliut gentleman to fight a duel with rifles at 100 paces. He waited six weeks be fore sending his challenge, and it will prob ably be six weeks before he gets an answer. If ho makes a nuisance of himself in the meantime Jersey justice may insist on lock ing him in a j&il or putting him in an idiot asylum. These little episodes in Jersey life will not interfere with the summer work of the mo squito, nor cause a fall in prices at the sum mer resorts along the Jersey coast. Miss Helen Dauvrey, an actress who has made reputation in the play “One of Our Girls,” prints a card in each of the New York papept in which she says she is not married. Mho admits that she was once the wife of a Mr. Tracy, but explains they dis covered their incompatibility after a few months and amicably siqiarated. The ease with which some actresses are married and unmarried is equalled only by the ease with which n fly selects u bald head ns u roosting place. In 1885 Gen. Isaac 8.

The Growth of Pauperism. Pauperism is assuming very large propor tions in tbe cities of this country. At the present rate of its increase it will not be many years before it is as great in Ameri can as it is in European cities. A few days ago it wa stated in a New York paper that if all the hou.-*-; in that city, in which claim ants for charity new reside, occupied lots twenty feet wide and were placed side by side they would extend a distance of eighty fire mile* The number of such houses is 27.400, and some of them are crowded tene ments in which are many claimants for charity. An examination of the condition of the- in New York who ask aid ihows that a little more than half of them deserve help. A large percen tage of them only need employment and very many of them are impostors. The managers of charitable agencies in New York are satisfied of one thing. It is that the unorganized distribution of charity tends to increase pauperism. This is also true of other cities. There are charitable societies and charitable people in every town, and they assist those asking help without first satisfying themselves that the applicants are deserving of charity. They are not always capable of forming a correct opinion whether a jierson ought to be as sisted or not, even after they have investi gated his case. Only those who have expe rience in such matters know who are proper subjects for charity. The amateur charity dispensers, however.when they make a mistake console themselves with the reflection that their intention was good, and that, therefore, their reward will be as great as if their deed had accomplished what they intended. They do not take into consideration the fact that they are contrib uting to the growth of pauperism, and that their good intentions help to swell a burden that in time w ill become greater than their community will be willing or able to liear. Charity Is a very good thing, but to pre vent it from producing a great evil it must be placed under intelligent direction. Many who dispense aims freely, under the impres sion that they are relieving suffering, and doing a work for which they ought to re ceive praise, are only adding to the misery and burdens of the world. The grow th of pauperism in the larger cities is becoming so marked that thinking people see the necessity for checking it. The only way to accomplish that is to turn charity into organized channels, and place the distribution of alms under the conlroi of persons of experience and judgment. Lamar on the South. A Washington correspondent quotes Secretary Lamar as saying that the Houth is not prospering. The Secretary states very positively that only the cities which are the centres of the mineral regions are increasing rapidly in population and wealth. He says that some towns situated on the new rail road* are growing, but at the expense of less fortunate towns that have either stood still or have actually deteriorated. In order to prove that only a few Southern cities are prosjiering, the Secretary selects four coast cities and compares their popula tion in 1880 with what it was in 1871). Ac cording to the last census, Charleston gained between 1870 and 1880 only 1,028, Savannah 1,474, and New Orleans 24,672. Mobile lost 2,002. The chief cause of the South’s lack of prosjierity, according to the Secretary, is the depression of the planting interest. On this subject it is well to quote Ills words; “The crop to-day,” he say*, “is npt pro portionally as great as it was before the w'ar. It must be remembered that the jxipulation of the South increased nearly 50 per cent, between 1860 and 1880. As agri culture is almost our only industry, and as cotton is our principal product, if we had only held our own we ought, in 1880, to have marketed 50 per cent, more cotton than we did before the war. But the truth is that the large crop of last year was only 25 per cent, greater than that of 1860. In other words, our population increased in that twenty years just about twice as fast as our ability to feed and clothe it. You wouldn’t look for prosperity under such circumstances, and you will not think it strange that the cities which are dependent upon agriculture for their trade should languish.” Apparently the Secretary makes a strong case. There Is ground for thinking, how ever, that he is mistaken. He says himself: “I have very little personal knowledge of affairs in those sec tions of tho South of which I have been speaking.” The South is on the up grado. It Is true that its development is only begin ning, but the beginning is a substantial one. If Georgia is a criterion by which to judge, the large majority of towns and cities in tho South are increasing in population and wealth. Savannah’s increase in these i>ar ticnlnrs is of the most gratifying nature. During the six yeans that have elapsed since the last census was taken, her population, according to her last directory, has increaed 15,000. The Secretary’s reference to tho census counts for nothing, for the South’s greatest development has taken place since 1880. As to the depression of the planting in terest, it is true that many Southern farmers make no money. Nevertheless, the plant ing interest is much better off than it was in 1870. The Secretary assumes that the entire population of the South is engaged in agri culture. Ho forgets t hat mining and manu facturing have become great industries and that many people are engaged in them. He also forget* the new railroads which give employment to many, and he fails to remember the numerous industries that were unknown in the South before tho war. A crop 25 pel- cent, greater than that made iu 1860 is, according to tho best authority, all the increase that could lie expected under the changed condition of affaire. The Secretary’s case rests upon a founda tion of sand. He makes positive assertions about sections of which ho has no personal knowledge, make* comparisons of popula tion liased upon a census token before the Ix’ginning of the era of the South’s greatest prosjierity, nnd concludes with the astonish ing assumption that everybody in the South is engaged in agriculture. If the Secretary should take a trip through the South he would doubtless change his views. There is one fact connected with prohibi tion contests which deserve to bo empha sized. It is always the anti-Prohibitioiiista that resort to violence. For instance, at Weimar, Tex., the other day, while the Prohibitionists were holding a meeting, the anti-Prohibitionist* favored a riot.

Freddy’s Appeal. From the New York Tribune. Little Fred did not like Sunday. He never had thought much about it except that the bells rang and big folks went to church; that mam ■ uu told him Bible stories, when he somehow felt very good and peaceful, and that papa was home all day, and in the afternoon, if it were clear, took him out for a walk, That is. until he lived next door to some children and discovered that on Sundays he could not go to their house to play. From this time Sunday was a great trial, and frequently for days before he would talk of little else. "How many days till Sunday, auntie?” he mournfully a*k*-d one morning as he sat by the register, vainly trying to button his shoes. "Why. three whole days, Freddy’” cheerily answered auntie. “Only free days?” wailed Fred, in tones of deepest woe. Then energetically, “I don’t see what you want to have it so often for!” “Why, Freddy, Sunday is one of the days of the week. It is God’s day.” “God makes the Sunday?” said Fred. “Yes,” said auntie. “He lias a kind of wheel,” soberly explained the little fellow, “and turns it ’round ’till He turns out Sunday. It just comes; but I don't see why He has it so twick, aud,” he added, af ter a moment's thought, “if He is going to have it so tw ick all the time, I'm just going into Crowell’s to play anyhow.” This idea appeared to cheer him, for he vig orously reattached the buttons and began to hum a tune. Presently he began to talk to him self, and auntie, who was just going out of the room, heard him softly say: “God! God! Don't make Sunday come so twick!" Then, after waiting expectantly a mo ment at the ceiling, he slowly and in the deep est bass he could command, answered: “No; I won t. I won t.” Again, as shaking with laughter auntie started toward the stairs, she heard in acceuts of the most earnest entreaty: “God! God! please don't make Sunday come so twick!” Tiien in stentorian tones: “No; I won't, I won’t.” MARRIED LIFE. How Adam and Eve Lived Long Ago Outside the Garden. From the Contemporary Review. In appearance Eve was exceedingly gracious and beautiful, full of reticence and dignity; people always spoke of her as a lady, and whis pered to one another that she had come of good stock. To her husband she was full of wistful courtesy. It seemed as if he had made some sacrifice jn marrying her, and her devotion was mingled with gratitude. In Adam there was less that was peculiar than in his wife. He would stand often on his threshold in the evening and look out. He had forgotten that centuries had passed by, and was still yearning for the return of his firstborn— the wanderer. It was Eve, who in the spring tide, turned to the meadow where the lambs were playing and she always went alone. When she came back she’ would put her arms around her husband's nock and kiss him. He did not understand that she was to come fron. a grave; but he was grateful for the kiss, and drew her away to look at the young sprouting blades of corn. He had become a husbandman and was skilled in the tilling of the ground. Eve never looked happier than when ho came home hot and hungry from working in the fields. She loved to set bis meal, lav her head on his knee, and listen to his talk or tin- wonderful new ways of raising erops and planting vineyards. He was busy and contented, and there was no regret in his face. But their conversation did not always turu on commonplace matters. Why Barbers are Usually Irreligious. From the New York Evening Run. “No,” said Jim Morrow's best barber, as he nibbed a handful of lather into the mouth of Judge Curtis, “I ain’t superstitious myself, but most barbers are. Home believe that It's a sign of good luck to cut the skin of a man's fhfoat just enough to draw blood, and that when n razor needs resting it’s best to lay a hone along side of it in a drawer over night,’ so that it can sharpen itself: but I don't believe any such nonsense. Between you and I. barbers are thundering ignorant. They have lots of chances to get information from customers, but they don't get it. They're a quarrelsome set. too. They're always fighting about something. Barbers are generally unreligious and seldom go to chureh, but that Is very easily ac counted for. Their customers are of nil denom inations. Sometimes when the shop Is crowded a discussion will lK*giii alsmt the merits of the resjieetlvo creeds, and as a burlier must agree with them all he doesn't ktiirw which is the best, so that he doesn’t believe in any.

A young has in Connecticut went to the first picnic of the season in a thin white suit and a straw hat.

Rusee, the official journal of the Minister of War, gives the effective forces of the Czar on Jan. 1, 1880. According to this account the Russian regular army num bered at that time 831.783 soldiers and 30,855 genera,s and officers. the reserves amounted to l.WXi.sij men. Tne militia of the nrst call counted 2. 180.000 men. And this without count ing the Finland regiments.

He was the Empress' cousin, and bore the fine title of his serene highness, the Prui'.:,- Fnedrich August Rene de Sunn de Ker bourg d'AUaus and de Bochast Wild. Count of Leuneberg and Grandee of .Spain. His name was as long as his lile, and yet he was 83. A novelty in contests is a barrel making match. Such an one occurred in Cincinnati the other evening, when Nick Gash and John Cul bertson were pitted against Joseph Brown and Thomas Walker, the two men making the nest whisky barrel in the shortest time to be declared winners. Gash and Culbertson finished their barrel in thirty-nine minutes, and Brown and Walker in forty-nine, but the Darrel of the latter was so muea better than the other that the match was awarded to them. The celebrated horse Buccaneer, the sire of thirteen animals which have become famous on the turf, had to be shot in Vienna recently. He had attained his twenty-sixth year. His hide will be stuffed and placed near the similarly pre’ served remains of tne renowned Kinosein, in the Pesth Museum. Buccaneer was nought in 1805 by the Austrian government from Lord Ports mouth for I.OUO guineas. The winnings ot fiis descemiants at races in Austria, Germany, Eng land and France have abeady amounted to 2,0Uu,- Ood florins. Miss Elvira Delanoy is dying in a New Lon don hospital from the effects of the bite of a rat. Six weens ago, while in Porto Rico, on her aunt's plantation, she received the bite as she lay in a summer house. Nothing was thought ct'the scratch, but before the brig Morauoy reached New London with Miss Delanoy she was suffering from blood poisoning, and now there is little hope of her recovery, ft is thought that the rat had eaten poisonea food placed among the sugar canes for the purpose of kill ing him and his kind. Chinese laborers will not work in the big canon through which the Cascades division of ie Northern Pacific road runs, because several Chinamen have been killed there. They think that it is inhabited by devils with anti-Chinese sentiments. Nine Cninamen were Jailed there some tune ago by falling trees, and ten coffins were seat up. This was looked upon as a bad omen by the Chinese, and they w ere very un easy as long as the spare coffin lay around camp. It was not long till a rumpus occurred, and a Chinaman was snot. The Cninese thought that this death had been brought about in order that the odd coffin might be fitted, and they con cluded to leave the place, and cannot be induced to go back. In Berlin recently there was a birthday party in honor of the eldest son of Prince William, eldest son of the Crown Prince. Among the presents was a small barrel organ from Prince Bismarck. A few days later the 5-year-old heir of the imperial throne complained to Prince Bis marck that it tired him very much to play the organ, and asked him |o play something. The Chancellor complied, and at once began turning the handle, and with so much energy that the sounds of the instrument drew the other mem bers of the imperial family to the room, The children, delignted, began to dance. Thereupon Prince William, looking at his eldest son, ob served to the Cuauceilor. "There is u future Em peror who already dances to your pipingl" Two architects were discussing the frequency of cases where persons die soon after moving into new houses which they have built for their use. Said one architect: "That such cases are frequent I believe. I have known three or four in my own practice. But the deaths are due to exposure during the erection of the houses, or to damp walls, or to waiting too long before deciding to build. Some men don't go to an architect until they are about ready to suc cumb to old age.” The other replied: "1 too have known a number of cases of persons dying just utter they have settled themselves in them new bouses, and sometimes 1 have thought that their fate is in accordance with Scripture. What is that passage about the man who tore down his barns and built greater, and whose soul was required of him that nighty” Otway, of fame in the school books, was choked to death by a crust of bread that In his hunger he sought ravenously to swallow. News came from London the other day of the death of P. 11. Potter, a young artist of worth, who actually starved. Apropos of this death what Howard Paul wrote in a London letter a few weeks ago is of interest: "This huge, stony hearted Babylon is already overcrowded with struggling painters, and only the highly gifted and indomitable make their way. Caesar said that it was 'better to be first in a village than second at Rome,’ and no doubt it is better for a man to live happily in his own native air,.with a modest local renown than to plunge into the overwhelming contest of London, for not to suc ceed here is to perish socially amid a community too busy to observe and too vast to care or con sider." Daly's engagement in Boston at the largest, theatre in the city, the Boston Museum, exceeds in its financial aspect any previous engagement there, with the possible exception of Charles Dickens’ readings. Dickens read there under peculiar circumstances. Messrs. Fields, Osgocd and Cos., the publishers, had captured Dickens for the then literary centre of America by paying him directly the author’s copyright on his works, as it Dickens was a native author; and all Boston turned out to do him honor, both for his own sake and that of Boston's favorite publishing house. The first day a sales of Dick ens amounted for his whole series of readings to about Sit’,ooo. The sales lor the seven perform ances of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Screw" by Augustin Daly's company began on Tuesday last at K o'clock a. in. By that time a double liue of purchasers, extending from the box of fice of the Museum to the next corners of the street, had formed, ami the people were in line there all day. The total sales on Tuesday for the eighth performance amounted to nearly 810,000. At a recent seance In San Francisco Mrs. J. J. Whitney gave an interesting account of the c'r cumstances which brought about her conversion to the Spiritualistic faith. Her son Harry, sho said, waa a brakemau on the Central Pacific railroad, and was killed in a collision which oc curred three years ago. He had been In tho habit of kissing her as ho left the house for his work in the morning, but on the day of the acci dent neglected to do so. She called to him as he paused through the gate, hut lie shouted hack: "Never mind, mother: I'm in a hurry now, and I'll give vou three kisses when I come home.” That night he came to her bedside and kissed her thrice. Awakening her husband, Mrs. Whitney told him of the circumstance, but he refused to believe it. It was then 2 o'clock in the morning, and at 5 a messenger brought the news of Harry's death. At the inquest It wan ascertained that he died at Just 2 o'clock. Subsequently Mrs. Whitney was visited at night, on K-vernl occasions by her son, who seemed, sho said, to lie clothed in the garm mU of Im mortality, his eyes sparkling, his clicks glow ing and an aureola of light playing about his head.
