WASHINGTON , Juno 8. [ Special to TUB
BEK. ] It will bo remembered that the
"Widow McOlnnls" created considerable of a
sensation In New York recently by establish
ing a lottery for the patronage of custom
house nnd other employes , through , which
contributions were made to the campaign
in the Empire state. The trick has been pop
ularly referred to as the "Widow McOinnis'
Pig. " The object wns to collect contribu
tions for campaign funds In federal ofllccs
where the civil service law has effect , nnd nt
the sumo time to avoid prosecution. A sim
ilar trick to that of the "Widow McGlnnlV
Pig" lias been discovered In Washington. It
Is run nt the pension ofllcc , nnd Is for the po
litical benefit of the commissioner of pen
sions. A few days ago the pension office em
ployes wcro astonished 'at receiving the fol
lowing circular , dated Baltimore , May 21 ,
1833 , and produced in Imitation of type
written work :

corr QENEIUL LET-TEH.
WASIIINOTON- , May 15 , 1SS8. Sir : Your
favor of May 14 , enclosing copy of artist-
proof of lithograph portrait , in photographic
tints , of myself , has just been received. Per
mit mo to thank you for the picture , and to
say to you that my friends ( with whoso Judg
ment I am. entirely satisfied ; declare the pic
ture to bo a good one nn excellent one an
accurate likeness and artistically produced.
T have the honor to be ,
Youra very truly ,
JOHN C. BLACK.
The lithograph advertised in this circular
Is of the same general design and workman-
"uhip that ono ilnds in show pictures which
nro strung in the windows everywhere , and
which cost from three to six cents each. It
Is stated that tha cost of these lithographs of
General Black may bavobeca as much as
eight or ton cents each , since tha order was
not very largo. It will bo seen ,
therefore , that there is an enormous
profit. I do not charge General Black with
any connection with the production and sala
of those lithographs ; I would not say that ho
derives any bencJit from them : but there are
men in the pension ofllcc who do not besitato
to say that somebody ether than the firm who
makes thcso pictures derives a benefit. Gcn-
" oral Blade has conducted a campaign for the
vice presidenUalnominatlon which must have
cost him some money. It will bo necessary
to have some money , also , to organize the
democratic party in Illinois , the native state
of the commissioner. There are many uion
Inquiring now : "Can it bo possible that this is
a Widow McGinnis' Pigschamo ! " Bo it what
it may , the arrangement is bringing in quito
a lot pf shekels , and clerks in the pousion of-
llcn are not only solicited in the usual way to
buy thcso pictures , but thoyaro urged to buy
and to take sovpral copies each.
The projectors of the Panama canal ontor-
prisq unvo recently sent out profile maps
showing the progress of the work upon Do
Lessons' ditch , and thcso maps have not
eorvod to convince tlioso who have insisted
that the project was a failure that their views
were iucorrcct. The best engineers in Wash-
Ingtou insist that the canal can never bo
completed without bankrupting the company
and tha subscription of nn enormous amount
of fresh capital. Should it over be com
pleted the toll would have to bo so great as
to inako thu Panama route almost impructlO'
nblo. There has Just boon received
in Washington a plaster model of
the proposed route of the Nicaragua
canal , nnd this model has served
to give impetus to the proposition to Incor
porate the Nicaragua Canal company by acts
of congress , and has attracted the attention
of members to the foaslbilityas well ns the
Importance of the project. Said a member of
the house commerce committee in speaking
of this subject to-day : "After nil , the klfi-
dorgardcn system is as good an educator for
statesmen as for children. This model will
do far more good as an object lesson than
could bo accomplished by printed matter and
ipcochesi"
While thcro Is a good deal of opposition to
the proposal to Incorporate the company ,
there Is , at the same time , a great deal of
energy nnd vim among the men who have
undertaken it , and if the mnttcr is over
reached in the house the proposition is cer
tain to go through on n scmaro vote. But ,
owing to the mass of ether matter which
crowds the calendars , and to tha persistency
of ether Interests it is doubtful [ f congress
will tnko nny action this session , and while
the engineers of the Nicaragua company are
busily at work running their lines nnd carry
ing out the preliminary portion of the enter
prise , it Is not likely that any of the real work
of constructing ilia canal will bo doua for
another year to como.
A great deal of comment has boon hoard
lately over the course of the agricultural do-
partincnt in an attempt to defeat the will of
congress In the matter of the eradication of
diseases of farm animals. The pleuro-pimu-
inonla bill In tbo senate , known as the Pal
mer bill , will , If enacted into law , result in
transferring some of the power of thu com
missioner of agriculture to a board to bo
cro ted under the art. This docs not suit
theaviawof the commissioner , Ho strcnu-
busier objects to all Interference with his pa-
trouago ami prerogatives , and ho has been
attempting to influence members through
the grangers of this country by indno-
Ing the hitter to send mnmorlnls
opposing the bill. Ono of the bitterest oppo
nents of the Palmer bill bus been a farm
newspaper publishcd'In this city , which has
worked vigorously in opposition to the
measure from the time it came up for dlscus-
iou. The peculiar thing about this news
paper U the /act that the publication ofllca
cannot bo found. The paper states that it is
imblUhod in an ofilco on F street , but search
for the publisher hoi failed to reveal his
presence anywhere about the building.
Thora is a tin sign on the door , but the
owner of the bulldmir says ho has no knowl
edge of the publisher , and none of the ten-
nuts nor the janitor can give any Information
as to where he can bo found. It is generally
believed that the commissioner of agriculture
Jaos something to do with the sheet.
Our coniul nt Shanghai writes to the ttato
department about opium smoking iu China ,
iiul indicates that tlio beastly practice .Is on
) ho increase with the celestials. Ho says ;
"Asido from Iho heavy duties imposed upon
the Imported opium , which amounts to nbout
$150 per chest , there appears to bo no res
triction to the free indulgence In the babit.
Even the eloquent warnings denouncing the
Imblt nnd picturing the frightful degradation
nnd misery that the opium smoker ex
periences before death removes his wretched
1ody | , Which were formerly so frequently
posted In public places , are rarely seen nttho
present time nna the inaiiddnns who nro for
bidden to nmoko opium under sovcro penal
ties are much addicted to the
habit , the regulations being prac
tically of no importance. Opium
smoking is n habit that may IMJ Inherited or
acquired. Often the bcclnner takes a plpo
now anil then socially , und before ho Is
nware of it ho linn bccomo so attached to
tha effect produced that ho can not give It
up. Others try a plpo ns medicine , hoping to
find relief for their ailments , and in this
way soon bccomo victims to the habit , for it
quickly takes hold of the system nnd few
have the power to rid themselves of It when
once acquired. It is nn expensive habit to
begin with , nnd out of nil proportion to the
average income of the Chinese , It also con
sumes a great amount of time , nnd the ro-
cllnlng position ndoptcd In smoking tends to
laziness , nnd utter demoralization seems to
bo the ono result of invotornto smoking. "
*
The expressions recently made by the sen
ate nnd house committees on public lands re
garding land forfeitures f nil lea to that there
will bo no legislation on that subject in this
congress. The senate wants to take moder
ate stops , whllo the house , as usual , Is in the
extreme. Men \vho really want the govern
ment to sccuro the unearned lands granted
railroad companies nro at a loss to under
stand why the house for six years has stead
ily demanded moro than the moderate men
of the senate nro willing to grant. They say
It Is better to rccovci the Injids by plcco-
mcal than to not recover thorn nt nil ; that to
forfeit the lands not earned is better than to
dcclaro that none have been onrncd , and
raise a question which will defeat the re
covery of any of thorn. This Is not the only
subject which has been agitated to n great
nxtcnt" in this congress which will fall.
Thcro is to bo no legislation on general pen
sion matters , banking and currency , patents ,
consul and diplomatic affairs , the tclograph.
postal saving banks , , monopolies , territorial
statehood , copyrights , shlpnlng , Inter-stntc
commerce nnd many ether questions which
are very important to tha country.
The wonderful republican victory in Oregon
gen In tbo Into olcctton continues to bo the
subject of congratulation among republicans.
It is looked upon as tho. forerunner of the up
heaval against the presidents message , which
is expected in November.
Senator Mitchell asserts that the campaign
was conducted upon the square Issue of pro
tection ngalnst interference with American
Industries proposed by the Mills bill. Tha
election of n republican majority In the Oregon
legislature by n vote of nearly two to ono in
sures the return of a republican United States
senator , and will , in nil probability , result in
keeping the control of the upper branch of
congress ijt the hands of the republicans dur
ing the Fifty-first congress. It is thought
too , that the victory insures the vote of the
Pacific slope elections for the republican
ticket in November , as there is no section of
country so radically affected by the Mills bill
ns the states of Oregon and California.

LIVINGSTON , Mont. , Juno 10. J. J. Mo-
Bride , postmaster at this place , left last
Sunday morning without stating his dcstlmv
tlon. It now transpires that he is a da-
faultcr to the government to tha amount of
several hundred dollars , ' besides owing
private indebtedness to a large amount.
Other acts of financial crookedness arc being
discovered. IIo was in Helena on Tuesday
morning , from which place a number of checks
with Helena indorscrs have been received
at the National Park bank of this
city. ' Efforts are bcinp made by his bonds
men for bis apprehension and arrest. Ho was
seen yesterday at Great Falls. His wife ,
who is here at the Catholic academy , educat
ing herself m music'and art , alleges that ho
cruelly mistreated her , and she will sue for
divorce. Ho was appointed by the present
administration a little aver aycar ago.
It Is believed that ho is malting for tha

tims of hia bogus chccka are making efforts
to effect his capture , but ho hod a good start ,
and it is doubtful if ho will bo overhauled.
The amount of his defalcation aa postmaster

Tlio services nt tills church yesterday
morning wore very npproprlnto nnd consisted
of singing , scripture rending nnd recitations
by the children. Tlio nddrcss wns delivered
by Hov. Mrs. Andrews , n Uuivorshst minis
ter , nnd n lady of great ability. Mrs.
Andrews' nddrcss was very flno imlced , three
essential points being mndaand three objects
impressed upon the minds of the children ,
viz. : The good , the true nnd thobcautlful , nil
of which lead up to the house not made with
hnnds. To accomplish thcso thrco things It
wns necessary , said the speaker , to think , to
work and to pray. Superintendent 13. II.
I Jail conducted the morning service.
The church was beautifully decorated nnd
among the many handsome designs which nt-
trnctcd peculiar attention was a frame seven
feet long punctured the entire distance.
During the collection , which will bo devoted
to educational purpose * , as cacti little ono
deposited his or her mite they placed their
little bouquets of flowers in this frame In
regular order. When completed the motto ,
"Lend a Hand" stood out before the
gaze of the admlrjng congregation.
During the service twenty children were
baptized by the pastor , Kov. C. W. Savldgo ,
among the number being hla little six-
months-old son Robert.
In the evening the pastor delivered n ser
mon to the Young People's Society of Chris
tian Endeavor , from Samuel 10 , 8 : "And
there wont with him n band of men whoso
hearts God had touched. ! ' The speaker first
dctlncd the objects of the society. "Von nro
a band of young men nnd women whoso
"
hearts God lm"s touched. You ore one of the
divisions of God's great army , and n largo
division .it that. The number of members at
present is 300,000 souls. You are a body of
young people having the form and seeking
the power of godliness. I have occn inter
ested in the origin of the society and am
truly convinced that you nro born of God , as
was the great Sunday school movement
under Itobort Raikos. On February 2 ,
1831 , in Portland , Ma , there was a
great revival of religion , nnd at , that
time the pastor , Ucv. F. E. Clark ,
organized this society upon very nearly the
same basis as it stands to-day. Your growth
has been most marvelous. In 1881 there
were two societies with a membership of
sixty-eight ; now tliero nro 4,000 societies
with a membership of 300,000. Each ouo of
you seems to Doa missionary to increase
your numbers and power. Your object is to
promote-au earnest Christian lifo in our
hearts. To augment your usefulness you flx
a high standard of religion and strive to at
tain It. You rally the youth of to-day , who
nro the hope of to-morrow. For the Chris
tian church you take ono of the most solemn
pledges that ca.n bind human hearts. "
Hero the reverend gentleman quoted the
pledge as follows : "Trusting in the Lord
Jesus Christ for strength , I promise Him
that I will strive to do whatever Ho would
like to have me do ; that I will pray to Him
nnd read the Bible ovcry day , and that Just
so far as I know how , throughout my whole
life , I will endeavor to lead a Christian life.
As an active member I promise to bo truo. to
all my duties , to bo present at and to take
some part * , aside from singing in every meet
ing , unless hindered by some reason which
I can not conscientiously give to my Lord and
Master Jesus Christ. "
"In conclusion , " said the speaker , "your
characteristics arc lifo , your thoughts devo
tion. My closing words to you. are 'Go on. '
Bo genuine. Live out the teaching of your
order and may God make you on hundred
fold more , than yoi are. "
St. Mary's Avenue Congregational.
The regular children's day exercises did
not take place at the morning service hour
nt St. Mary's avenue Congregational church
yesterday , as was the custom generally
throughout the city , but they took the placa
of. the regular evening services. Hev.
Willard Scott , the pastor of the church , de
livered a very interesting tallc to a congre
gation that crowded the church in the morn
ing on the raising of children and their
attcndanco on church services when young
and their entering into llfo's work. ( Jwmg
to the illness of the pastor during the post
wcok his address was. more of au informal
talk than a sermon. Ho referred back to
the time when their church was
first built and stated that then the children
had 10 bo brought to church to make a show
ing of u congregation , but that since- the con
gregation hud become- largo the children
were loft ut homo to mnko room for the older
members. Ho spoke-of the relation of the
ohiUlreu to Urn parents mid the formation of.
the household. Ho touched upon the subject
of baptism and its bringing the cliijdren at
birth into the church as members qf the
household and Christian parents. Ho touched
upon the thrco references to children in the
NQW Testament , where Jesus said "Suffer
llttlu children to coinn unto mo , and forbid
them not , fur such Is the kingdom of heaven ; ' '
whore lie said to Simon , "Feed my lambs , "
and where the -disciples nro spolicn
of as going forth to feed thq
lambs , moaning the children of the world.
Ho referred to the customs of raising
children among bema of the heathen nations ,
and closed his remarks with some very plain
suggestions as to the development of the
child's lifo , showing , llrst , that the period of
child lifo ns rocogni/ed by law , twenty-olio
years , is too short for the full development
of ono'a Intellect ami powers. Second , tha
authority that parents should cxorclso over
their children ; third , the limit of parental
solicitude , that it should not grow cold after
the years of a child's Infancy but should
follow the child through all Its early lifo ;
that parents should not love their
children as infants and forgot thorn ns boys
and girls , but that tha family fhould bo ns a
unit In love and sympathy as long as they
nro on this earth.
The children's day exercises drew a largo
crowd in the evening und amid tbo porfiimer
of the beautiful vases of cut ( lowers nnd
blootnlng potted plants that gave to the pul
pit of the church such a'bright Juno' appear
ance tbo little children , with their songs , ro-
cltattons and ro.idlngs , made mauy u fond
parent's heart glad ,
Knox Prc l > yterJuu Church.
It was Children's day at the Ifnox Presby
terian church , Nineteenth and Ohio streets ,
and a very" pleasant ssorvlco was-
hold. The Indies of the congregation
had contributed liberally from their collec
tions of house plants and the Interior of the
church presented a very pretty appearance ,
A largo number of persons were present to
enjoy the exercises.
This is only the second service hold by this
congregation In their now quarters .nnd was
eminently a hnppy ono. The pastor , Hov.
Paul Martin , is delighted with the outlook
for the church. The 30th of hist October the
congregation consisted of ouly thirteen souls.
There are now about forty members and at
the nuxt communion there will be twonty-
ono additions. On tlio sumo duto the Sunday
school numbered but twelve K'holurs , but it
1ms rapidly increased uutil now. there are
about eighty. Verily , the church is enjoying
what is known in the secular world as a
"boom. "
Tim Lesson ol' Successful Labor.
Tins is comineni'oniciit week at Drownoll
Hall and the llrst feature of the same was
tno anniversary sorinmi yesterday nt Trinity
cathedral by Canon Doherty , the rector of
the institution. Ho selected for his text
Psalms 137:1 : "Except the Lord build the
house , they labor hi vain that build it. "
Upon this ho based his consideration of the
lesson of successful labor ,
God works In the affairs of m n as wall as
In the domain of nature ,
The futo of man | s the ordering of God.
\Voproposd. Ho disposes. All building that
is not on tlia sand , and alt work which en
dures , must bo built l.y the hand of God , ns
well as outwardly t > y the hand of man. The
thought of God working- with us ennobles
Inbor. The gqntlfemnn without occupa
tion , nnd the ' ' lady , whoso time is
unemployed , Hud no countenance in
the divine Carpenter of Nazaroth.
The thought of being n co-workor"wlth God ,
in the labor of the } hand or brain , Increases
tbo sense of responsibility. Our work should
bo of nn enduring character. Wo nro doing
It in the the sight arid with the co-opcratlon
of God. the fnult of our time is to sacrifice
quality to quantity in our work. To economy
wo nro willing to subordinate skill. The com
binations of capital or labor nro all economic
nnd not educational Our professional men
nro no better. To nn eager closlro to reap the
harvest of work , ttjey sacrifice the springtime -
time of preparation. They are master me
chanics , when they ought to bo apprentices.
This defect must bo remedied in the
schools. Their motto must bo less
work In n given time nnd moro thor
oughly done. French in five lessons
and science in fourteen weeks , will not do.
The Idea must bo included in the minds of
the young , to nlm nt excellence rather than
to hanker nftcr reward. Those who work
only for pay nro but disguised beasts who
hunt after preyt All successful work , bo-
sldes being honest and thorough must bo
consecrated by a devotional recognition of
the hand of God as Its author. Tills is pre
eminently true of the teacher's work. His
should bo consecrated skill. To those on the
threshold of llfo's work , ns this graduating
class now is , tbo thought of consecrated skill
Is a worthy ono. Have faith in work. Hnvo
faith in God. Work without Faith is dead.
Faith without xvork Is dead.Tlio dual com
bination { 3 the perfection of successful living.

LONDON , Juno 10. fNew Yojrk Herald
Cable Special to" the BEE. ] A few days
ago a special cable dispatch from New York
announced Rev. Mr. Maturln , rector of the
Episcopal church St. Clements , Philadelphia
had Joined the church of Homo. HOaring
ho was in England to-day I visited the So
ciety of St. John in Cowles , not far from
Oxford , where ho was said to bo n guest. St.
Johns Is a- small , unpretentious red brick
building on the highroad. Entering It I
found the corridors nnd rooms filled
with carvings and paintings illus
trative of ccclcssiastical history. I
was cordially received by Rev. W. U.
Benson , founder and head of the society.
His clean-shaven face , scdato expression and
Mowing black robe presented a rather rnedl
acvul clerical. "And so rumor in America
has it that Father Maturin has gone over to
Rome ! " said ho smilingly. "Well you enter
prising Herald people may contradict it-
What's more , ho has no idea ot going over
Ho is simply in England on a six months'
holiday nnd at the end of that time will return.
Ho came hero for his holiday simply because
this-was his homo before ho went
across the Atlantic. At present Mr.
Maturin is hero on a visit to friends. Wo
hero belong to tha established church and
nro under tbo bishop of Pennsylvania. It is
true that wo called each other father hero
nnd uro somewhat ritualistic. It may inter
est the Congregationalist clericals to know
that their charge is going on well , and that
lie will bo laboring among them very shortly.
1 don't wonder that they miss him for ho is a
fine fellow and ono of the most powerful
preachers that 1 ever heard. "

It is made ot two cylinders
pointed at both ends , siirinounloit by a

Wretched Africans Being yl Into
Captivity.
A gust of wind the ether day upset
an Arab slave dnow , and 100 helpless
wretches who were sailing to slavery in )
Arabia were drowned in sight of tlio i .J
English cruiser which was on the way
to rescue them , says the Now York Sun.
In the same wcok another slaver was
captured after a hard fight , iu which a
number of the forty slaves on hoard re
ceived bullets intended for their captors.
That the export slave trade on the
eastern African const is still active is
attested by the fact that in two years
nearly fifty of those slave dhows have
boon captured ; yet the punishment in
flicted upon the guilty slave stcalors
does not deter others from engaging in
the perilous hut prolltablo business.
Recent facts collected by the agents
of the Anti-Slavery society of England
show that slaves were never cheaper in
Arabia nor moro numerous than they
are at present. There has been a great
revival of the slave trade in the Soudan
and the followers of the mahdi have
sent many hundreds of their captives to
the coast to bo dispatched across tha
_ Red sea in the night to markets in
"Arabia. Even the daughters of wealthy
Khartoum merchants have boon con
signed to this terrible fate. The mar
kets for whioh the dhows ship their
loads of bondsmen at many an unfre
quented point along the coast of the
Red sea and the Indian ocean are
mainly in Arabia and Turkey. The
present Uhodivo of Egypt , who owns no
slaves , and who pays wages to the bonds
men whom his father loft behind him ,
is apparently powerless to prevent slave
shipments from parts of his western
const , which , a few yeava ago , ho or
dered kept cjcaf of slavers.
