Two years ago the Germans begin to make things unpleasant for King Melietoa, who represented a dynasty that had been in power for five centuries. The United States protectorate on his own account, sheltering Malietos under the Stars and Stripes. Last year, however, a German war vessel visited Apia and dethroned the monarch, the main reason given for this high-handed performance being that some natives had thrown stones at a party of G ermans who had becomeunduly exhilersted over the celebration of the Em- peror William’s birthday. It was also alleged that the King's judges had failed to p:operly protect Germans. For these whol- y insufficient reasons Maiietm was deposel and Tamssese, who had for some years been a. pretender to the throne, put in his place. The dethroned monarch made numerous ineffectual attempts to secure the assish ance of British and American ships whirh visited Apia, and was finally carried (IT as a prisoner to Germany, where he now is. Tnmaseso appointed as his Pxemicr a ‘erman named Branders, who had commend I of the royal forces in the recent battle and 3 to whose tyrannical measures the outbreak of hostilities is attributed. The natives. a i very large portion of Whom were intensely dissatisfied with the change of rulers, were at last driven to revolt by the heavy tax- . etion imposed upon them by Branders. and by his demand that the name of Molietoa should be conferred upon Tsmasese. Their appeal to arms, as we havealresdy ststed, has a so for been sucessful, and their newly elect- ed King Marsaia is now ifipossession of the capital. A recent despatch from Berlin stated that the German Government had decided to release and restore Malietoa. This action, no doubt, is intended to prevent Ihe injury to German interests in the Is- lands wbic‘n might follow the overthrow of Tamasese, but it will not end the matter. The United States Government has at inst taken umbraga at Germany’s flagrant vio- lation of the agreement as to Samoan inde- pendence, and intends calling that country to account therefor. President Cleveland and his advisers have had the matter under consideration for some days past, but no announcement has yet been made as the course which they intend to pursue. New Z 21.13.1111 steamers which recently arrived at; Sm h‘nncisco brought the news that civil War had broken out in Upolu, the chief island of :he Samoan group, the follow ers of the exiled King Mahatma. having risen in rebellion against; Tamaseae, the King placed upon the throne last year by the Germans. A bottle took place on the 12th u15., which resulted in the defeat; of Tamaseee and the capture of the capital, Apia, by the revolutionists. At latest ac. coun's the King and his Prime Minister, with their few remaining followers, were hemmed in on a strip of German corvette and a force of sixtyfive eailors intrenchod on Iha shore. The German consul accuses the captain of a United Scates steamer and the.

The series of unspeakably revolting mur- ders which have been committed, and which may be said to be now going on, in White- chapel, London, are sending thrills of horror throughout Christendom. Hitherto public sentiment, both in England and elsewhere, has been mainly divided between the sicken- inpI sensations produced by the shocking barbarity of the crimes, and u species of wondering indignation at the failure of the police authorities to detect the perpetrator, In a. very forcible letter to the London “ Times." a. writer, over the fimiliar initials “ S. G. 0.,” calls attention to another aspect of the case, which is still more deserving of public attention. His position is, in a word, that these crimes are related to the social conditions amidst which they are taking place, as effect to cause. They are the per- fectly natural and legitimate results of a state of things which exists and is tolcreted under the eyes of all London. In his own expressive words, “ The tilled garden is fest producing the crop sown; in its ripening, it affords smplo evid nce of the nature of the seed; its fruit is just that which such seed, under such tillage, was certain to pro- duce.” The nature of soil, seed and tillage are indicated in the statement that “ within a walk of palaces and mansions,” with all their appurtenances of luxury and refine- ment, there exist “ tens of thousands of our fellow creatures, begotten and reared in an atmosphere of godless brutality. a species of human sewage, the very drainage of the vilent production of ordinary vice ; such sewage is,ever on the increase, and in its in- crease forever developing fresh depths of degradation.” Ae “ S. G.

At the close of 1886 in was $4,377.000,000, and the annual interest $187,000,000. Since 1876 over 400 companies operating more than 35,000 miles of road have become insolvent, and over 31000000000 of capital stock and indebted- ness have been readjusted by foreclosure. The rates of inberesc average over 6 per cent, and in some cases are as high as 9 and 10 par cent., while the bonds, in mzny in. stances, have been sold much below par, some as low as 50 per cent. 'l‘hia debt is growing as new roads are built. It will mature at different pericds, part oi it in each year for a century or more. The largesc sum that bzcomes due in any one year matures in 1921, and will amount; to $210,000,000. During the eight months ending with August. ihere came to the United States nearly 400 000 immigrants (392,937), or aboun 30,000 more than in the first eight months of last year. It is worth noting rhet while England and Wales sent us :2 000 less than last year. and Ireland only 700 more, Scotland sent 2,100 more. The Germans were slightly less, but in all other nationali» ties there was an increase. 0f the total. immigration for the eight months every 100 was made up substantially as follows:â€" British 31; German, 19; Bohemian, Aus- trian, Hungarien. Polish, and Russian, 18 ; Scandinavian, 15; Italian, 10, and other countries, 7. Of the British immigrant; 43 p:r cent. were Irish, 42 per cent. English and Welsh, and 15 per cent. Scotch. Dur- ing the eight months the most remarkable increase was in the Russian. Hungarian, and Polish. which reached 75,000, an advance of 17,500 over last year.

Richardson and Hammond. who state that there is always danger that the criminal will not be killed by the shock, and may even recover after burial. An English scientist who has experimented on animals answers these objections by giving the result of his observations. He says that death was always instantaneous, and unquestionable ; that a flash tightly directed would kill a. mammoth instantly, if the tension of the induced current is high, and that he never observed any effusion of blood or other symptoms of the ahcck. If these experiments are anclueive few will be disposed to deny that the abandonment of hanging, which has alwovs a bmtslizing effect: on the beholders, and is a. rude and bungling moxhod of extinction, wonldbe a desirable change.

Mother can almost always tell about the old Ways, and one should know about these first, just as a. lawyer must read Blackstone and Coke before he can understand modern statute law. ' Many mothers seem to think that if they attend to the details of housekeeping, pro- vide there children with clothing and pay their school bills, they have done all that can b5 required of them. Ochers, again, forget that what is so familiar to them is unknowu ground to their children, and the latter are only too willing to assume control oi all their own actions, till by and by. aoma blunder causes them psin and mortiflcstioa, and they perceive that the world polite, like every other World, has laws which cannot be violated with impunity. The fathers and mothers of our day are certainly to blame for this state of things; they have, in many cases, allowed their children to grow up much iike unbroken colts, in the matter of social discipline and restraint, and when they at last begin to see for themselves the necessity of finding out and obeying social laws, they turn away from their parents to seek other sources of information, because they have never been taught to take counsel of their natural guardians. One is often tempted to smile at some of the questions relating to etiquette, asked through the columns of the press by young men and women. The answers are so obvi- ousâ€"to persons of more mature age and ex- perienc:â€"uhat one connol-l help wondering why these young people do not consult their parents, for. making due allowance for the case of orphans, many of those who seek in- formation in this way must possess fathers and mothers. Alas i it; has probably never occurred to these young people that they should consult their parents in kindred mafi- ters; and viewed in this light, the subject becomes bath a. and and a serious one.
