Mr.. Jackson, being sent TO the Prince
Royal as a negociator from England,
brought 10 Kiel the demands OF that
power. Without announcing any reason,
England required an offensive and de-
tcnsivc alliance. AS guarantee OF this
alliance, she demanded that the Danish
fleet, the fortress of Cronenburg, and
the city Of Copenhagen, should be deIl-
vcred up to her. The Prince Royal re-
jected such propositions with all the IN
dignation hcydcserved.
On the 18th August Mr.. Jackson dc
clared that hostilitics were going to
commence. From that moment the
whole city was up in arms, and prepare,
tons were made for vigorous defence.

ANECDoTE OF ANACHARsIs

ANECDoTE OF ANACHARsIs CLooTs.
I overheard curious dialogue be-
tween Anacharsis Cloots and plain
sensible looking man, who drank coffee
1T the same table with him, one day al
ter dinner at Roberts.
This man happened to say, that some
thing, | don't remember what, was as
certain as that God made the world
Pshaw = said Anacharsis, snaPpish-
~, he did not make the world
No" cried the man, staring with
surprise, who made it then%
Why nobody. Itnevcr was made
answered Cloots.
How came it here then p answered
the other.
How came it here why it has been
here from all eternitv.'
never should have guessed it to be
50 DID, rejOined the man; but still you
have not informed me how it exists
BY chance said Cloots.
BY chance? exclaimed tie other.
yes, undoubtedly, by mere chance
added Cloots-E You have no notion Of
the power of chance"
The power Of chance p repeated the
ether chance is blind
Blindness does not diminish power
cried Cloots with an air Of triumph +;
for even according to your bible, Samp-
son was able to pull down a house, and
smother three thousand Phdistincs, after
he WAS stone blind
Snecring is one thing, Mr.. Clcots,
and reasoning is another
Then let us reason answered Ana
charsis--' l speak of the power of
chance-Wcre a thousand dice put into
box and thrown out often enough,
there can be no doubt but that six thou
sand would be thrown out at last nav,
if hundred thousand were ratified, and
thrown without ceasng, six hundred
thousand would appear in process of
time at one throw. Why, therefore,
may not this world, such as we find it,
have been cast UP By the mereraaling OF

THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1907.

'Now1 perceive the drift of your
reasoning, rejoined the other * but al
though cannot explain what is above
human comprehension, citizen Cloots,
yet, as there is no necessity in the nature
of things that this world, and all the
creatures in it, should have existed at
all, it seems clear to me that they must
exist by the power of Supreme being;
and ! am fully convinced that order,
uniformity, and exquisite adapness
must be the work Of intelligence and
wisdom, as well as power
" Nee Deus inter sit nisi dignus vim
dice, nodus."
What do you think of that maxim Of
Horace p said Cioots.
: l think it very good one, as he APP
piled it, rejoined the other: 'but [ am
convinced that Horace, though . hea-
then, would not have brought it into
such an argument as the present.
Perhaps not Cor as you say, he was
an ignorant heather, and believed in
gods"
Had he lived at present he would
have confined his faith to one for, in
dependent of the Christian religion, all
the Improvements that have been made
since his time lead us to acknowledge a
first intelligent Creator and governor of
the universe
They lead me to no such things,
said Cloots. l adhere to chance, and
acknowledge no other God. What say
YOU to that =
1 say replied the other, that were
I to utter such an impious expression, L
should be afraid of going to hell
There again. cried CloOts, Why
there is no such place.
How can you be sure Of that ?
Because the thing IS impossible an
swered Cloots.
Did you not assert, a little while ago,
that this world was made by chance p
i assert SO still &" exclaimed Cloots.
Then how can you assert that such
place as hell is not made BY chance
also = r.;oined his opponent.
This unexpected question seemed to
disconcert the philosopher, which the
