You ought to come ilown nml take u

now nro almost iletuniuo. Peinnyl
vunlu avenue, tlio Brunt thoroughfare,
which In winter looms with llfo mid ac
tivity, with flguros of tintloiiiil Interest,
men mid women known tlio world over,
la now like tho main street of n country
town. Tlio ntroot curs ntlll run, but
tlioy nro pretty buy about It, mid u grout
majority of their passengers nro colored

ci(y, whoro most of tlio jieoplo of promi

for thotn. Thoy fill tho streets, they

tlio stranger who comes to Washington
and tnkes a rldo through tho aristocratic
northwest, us nil strangers do, is nuinicd
to 'discover that ovon in tho bon ton resi
dent district tho colored folk outnumber
the whites tlvo to ouo.
, All but ouo of tho foreign legations,
and there nro nbout n score of thorn in
"Washington, nro closed for tho summer.
Tho representatives of foreign countries,
whatever may bo their custom nt homo.

ican habit of going nwny for tho sum

U that occupied by tho Chinese, and
family reasons, ns well as native disincli
nation to give up n comfortable homo
and go awuy to siieud ono's mouoy in (ho
pursuit of doubtful pleasures, luivo kept
the Chinese itt their posts. Tho new
Chinese baby is now nbout six weok3
Id, and for moro than ten days has boon
taking an niriug every afternoon in Du
pont clrclo. It is n pretty llttlo girl,
with a ve,ry round i'neo nnd tho queerest
"liitlo "pig" eyes you over saw. It tajces
Iks outing in a gorgeous bnby carriage
of American make, though 1 mn told a
fine Chinese carriage, worth more than
hundred dollars, Is on tho way
The coach now In use was bought at n
tore down town, and when it was de
livered at tlio legation, two or threw
weeks ago, all tho attaches foil in love
with it and vied with ouch other for the
honor of wheeling it nbout, empty. Now
they are even more fond of taking the
Infant prodigy out in tho clrclo, und it
is uot uncommon to see four or five big,
fat fellows, with their robes of blue mid
their odd shaped cups, wheeling nbout
that one llttlo baby, as proud of it us a
hen with n brood of now peoples. Occa
sionally during tho jwist fow days the
mother of tho child, tho minister's wife,
has been out with tho carriage, nnd for
all 1 can tee she is just'ns fond of her
babyy'just as proud of it nnd just us do
lighted when the women and girls mid
children of tho neighborhood rush up to
the couch nnd go into raptures over its
occupant, as any American mother could
be. 1 fancy thut human nature is pretty
much the same the world over.
Tho appearance of tho Chinese bnby in
the circlo is tho signal for tho scamper
ing in that direction of ubout ull tho
maidens and children, whito and black,
within u hnlf dozen blocks. Tho word
pussdl along, "Tho Clitnoso baby is out,"
depopulates ull the houses and streets in
the neighborhood. Tho minister's wife
Miiileittt every ono who smiles nt her
baby, y,ud tho gorgeous rod top of the
little much is always surrounded by a
cflfcoui), admiring and cackling crowd.
I'Heyynistor's wifo, beiiuj a high born
ily, never appears without a servant
trftli her, and the servaut always sticks
(Joed to her mistress' side, and usually
has hold of her hand. It is tho servant's
duty to help tho mistress walk and save
her from falling down. Tho mother,
poor thing, has no feet, nothing but
stumps, on which she hobbles about most
painfully. Tho maid, uot being of the
nristocraoy, has a pretty good pair of
teet unuer her, though many an Ameri
can woman would like to bo ablo to wear
as small a Bhoe us sho wears.
"What a pity," sjiid I ouo day to Mr,
Ho, the translator of tho legation, as we
sat in the circle watching the infant in
her all conquering perambulations, "that
this protty baby must grow up to have
her feet stunted and deformed in that
fashion."
"It Beems so to you," replied the big
translator, with a roguish took in his
eyes, "but you must remember that she
has one advantage she will not be com
pelled to grow up with her body de
formed by the use of a corset."
I went np to the Capitol the other day
to see what the great building looks like
in its summer Tsuiti The exterior is as
grand and noble as ever, but the Interior
is undergoing that annual process of
bouse cleaning which it appears no
building in this Yankee land, be It great
or small, enjoys immunity from. The
supreme court room looks like a carpen
ter's shop. The senate bad no seats in
it, no desks, no carpet upon the floor,
and good deal of the floor has been
torn op.
The bouse of representatives was in a

after leaving tliu body, tliu llrst step of
your soul reaches to tho stnrs, mid tho next

verse, nml that It will uotdlu until thuduy
whun the uverhutlug Johovah expires?
Oh, my brother, what possessed you thut
you should part with your soul soclieapf
"Yo liavo sold yourselves for naught."
Hut I have some good news to tell you, I
want toeugagu lua litigation for the recov
ery of Hint soul of yours. I want to show
thnt you Imvu been cheated out of It, 1
want to provo, ns I will, that you were
crazy on that subject, and that tho world,
under such circumstances, hud no right to
take tho title deed fiom you; and If you
will Join mo 1 shall gut u decree from the
High Chancery Court of Heaven relitut
ing you in the possession of your soul.
"Oh," you say, "I am afraid of lawsuit;
they aro so expensive, and 1 cannot pay
tho cost." Then liavo you forgotten tho
last half of my text? "Yo have sold your
selves (or naught; and yu shall bu redeemed
without tnouuy."
Money Is good for a great many things,
but it cannot do anything in this mutter
of the soul. You cannot buy your way
through. Dollars and pounds sterling
iiiunn nothing nt tho gate of mercy If
you could buy yuur salvation, heaven
would bu a great speculation, uu exten
sion of Wall street. Had men would go
up and buy out tliu place, ami leavu us to
shift for ourselves. Hut as money Is not a
lawful tender, what Is? I will answer,
111 oodl Whosu? Aru wo to go through
tho slaughter? Oh, no, It wants richer
blood than ojirs. It wants a king's blood.
It must bo poured from royal arteries. It
must bu n sinless torrent. Hut whuro Is
tho king?
I seo A grout many thrones mid u great
many occupants, yet none seem to bo com
iug dowu to tho rescue. Hut after awhile
tho clock of night In Bethlehem strikes
13, and tho silver pendulum of a star
swings across tho sky, and I seo tho King
of Heaven rising up, and ho descends anil
steps dowu from star to star, and from
cloud to cloud, lower und tower, until he
touches the sheep covered hills, and thou
on to another hill, this last skull shaped,
and there, at the sharp stroke of persecu
tlon, a rill iiicuruadluo trickles dowu, and
wo who could uot bo redeemed by money
uro redeemed by precious und imperial
blood.
NO IIKL1U10.N or UIIAINS.
Wo have in this day professed Christians
who aro so rarefied ami ethereallzed that
thoy do uot wuut a religion of blood, What
do you want? You seem to want a rell
glou of brains. Tho Ulblusays, "In tho
blood is tho life.'1 No atonement without
blood. Ought uot tho apostlu to know
What did ho sny? "Yo uru redeemed not
with corruptible thlugs, such as sliver and
gold, but by tho precious blood of Christ."
You put your luucut Into tho arm of our
holy religion and withdraw the blood, und
you leave It u mure corpse, fit only for the
grave. Why did God command the priests
of old to strike tho knlfo Into tho kid, and
tho gout, uud the pigeon, und tho bullock,
and tho lutub? It was so thut when tho
blood rushed out from theso animals on
tho tloor of the ancient tnbernuclo tliu peo
ple should bo compelled to think of tho
coinlug carnage of tho Son of God. No
blood, no atonement.
I think thut God Intended to Impress us
with u vividness of thut color. Thu ureeu
of tho grass, thu blue of tho sky, would uot
have startled uud aroused us llku this deep
crimson. It Is us If God hnd said: "Now,
sinner, wuke up uud see what thu Saviour
endured for you. This Is not water. This
is not wine. This Is blood. It Is tho blood
of my Son. It Is the blood of tho immacu
late. It Is the blood of God." Without
the shedding of blood is no rumissiou.
There has been many a inau who, iu courts
of law, bus pleaded "uot guilty," who
nevertheless has been condemned became
there was blood found on bis hands or
blood found in his room, uud what shall
we do in the last day if It be found that wu
have recrucitled the Lord of Glory und
have never" repented of It? You roust bo
lleve In the blood or die. No escape. Un
less you let the sacrifice of Jesus go in your
stead you yourself mutt suffer. It Is either
Christ's blood or your blood.
"Ob," says some one, "the thought of
blood sickens mo." Good. God Intended
It to sicken you with your sin. Do not act
as though you bad nothing to do wth that
Calvariau massacre. You had. Your sins
were the implements of torture. Those
Implements were not made of steel and
iron and WOOd BO much as OUt Of V0Ur

regicide, and this delclde, confess your
guilt today. Ten thousand voices of heaven

Unless you allow Christ to lift you up,

Would you not like to bo free? Here Is
tho price of your liberation uot money,

In tho lust day, If you now reject Christ,

Probably tho first rule of street prom

ways get out of their path when they
are approaching you from an opposite
direction, and if, perchance, you knock

uess should also bo exercised between

Never stare ut a lady in tlio street or

spitting barbarous; cursing nnd swear

There nro many ways of telling good

pressure they nro not good. If tho tail
of a ready boiled lobster is Hubby, or will

How to Select Silk.
There aro so many imitations of silk
upon the market that a few simplo rules
will be useful for discerning the good
