"MY BRETHREN, WHAT Is Truth ?"-
Beecher, the parson who makes all the world
take an interest in bis opinions, lately tried
to answer this question mathematicaly.-
He said Gods truths, the only ultimate
truths, are so nearly infinite that no man
can take them all in; aad the sam of all the
seeings Of men is nearly the absolute truth
not quite, for only God can see it all at
once. The thought is an echo of CARLYLE
and Goethe. The former writes 1.-THE past
had always something true, and is a precious
possession. In different time, in differ
ent place, it is always some other side of
our common human nature that has been de-
yeloping itself The actual True is the sum
OF all these not any one OF them by itself
constitutes what Of htmah nature is hitherto
developed Again, Goethe-"To which of
these religions do You specially adhere ?'
enquiries Wilhelm Mester "To al4," an
swers the other; ''for they by their union
first constitute the true religion" Here we
have the assertion without the definition of
truth, aud must fall back upon our eneniry,
as all mankind has done, as upon Sphinx
riddle. The truth is-wc don't know what
1t is.

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL. D. Judah, En-
gineer of the Sacramento Valley Railroad
and agent for the Pacific Railroad Executive
Committee of this State at Washington, has
prepared railway bill which conforms to
the views expressed by said convention:
This bill provides that the National Gov
ernment shall become responsible for the
payment of the interest at five per cent per
annum, for thirty years, Upon the amount
of SIS 600 600, if a single track, and on the
sum Of Sl25 ,0G0 900 if double track be
laid; and that the road shall be completed
within ten years. The company shall choose
its own route, and shall have the right OF
way to 400 feet wide, together with the
privilege Of taking earth, stone, timber, ETC.,
for the use of the road wherever they may
be found on the public domain. Alternate
sections of the public land for the distance
of twenty miles on each side of the road are
to be set apart for the purpose of paying the
interest on the bonds as it may become due;
but these lands are not to be given to the
company, nor is it to have the least control
over them. They are to be sold by the Gov
ernment as other public lands, but the pro-
ceeds are to be devoted to this special pur-
pose. The bill asks that alternate sections
of the public lands for ten miles on each
side of the road shall be granted in fee to
the company so soon rs each twenty miles
shall be completed.

THE WAR WITH MoRoCCo.-The depreoa-
tions of Moorish pirates upon Spanish COM
nierce and the attack upon the Spanish lor-
tress of Ceuta on the coast of Morocco, fur-
nsh the grievances for which Spain is about
to make war upon Morocco. Morocco mas
territory of about 100000 square miles,
and a population variously estimated from
five to eight millions. The regular military
force of the sultan consists of 5000 negroes,
but the people have a natural bent for arms
and fight with desperate courage, as the
French found in their war upon the country
in 1874. They are easily summoned into
service and are already armed, so that the
resis ance of Morocco may become quite for
midable The sultan objects that he is not
responsible for the conduct of the pirates
that infest his coast, but the French made
him take the responsibility, and he paid IN
1856 large indemnity to the French goy-
ernment.
Offensive operations against Morocco were
appointed to commence on the 7th or 9th OF
November, Tangiers, Tetuan and Lawaske
having been previously declared in a state
of blockade by the Spanish government
The Spanish queen offered to contribute part
of her civil list and to sell her jewels towards
defrayng the expenses of the war. All the
steam packets that ply between Marseilles,
France, and the Spanish ports had been
chartered to convey the Spanish forces to
Morocco The war excites great enthusiasm
in Spain, and deserters from the army were
returning and begging to be employed now
that there is a chance for actual fighting
The English government processes satiSfac-
ton with the declaration of the Spanish
minister that no permanent acquisition OF
territory in Morocco is contemplated, but
the English people put nc confidence in such
declarations, or in the honesty of Spain and
France in this campaign. They suspect
purpose more important than that which lies
on the surface.

The HERoic IN COMMON LIFE-Mrs. Sarah
Jane Lippencott Grace Greenwood lectnred
at Boston lately on the Heroic in Common
Life. An exchange says:
She showed that it often requires more
real bravery to acduit ones self well in ev-
eryday life than upon the field of battle that
the early emigrants to California and Kan
sas were true heroes; that it is more HEROIC
to run with the machine than to maneuvre
a corps of flying artillery. The man who
foregoes the joys of welded life to cheer and
sustain an invalid sister is hero, like
Charles Lamb the lecturer had known two
SUCH The woman who undergoes the same
privation, to cherish and support her aged
parents, is true heroine; she had known
many such.

thotgh the "SouthdoHn" is probably the

BakewelI' the largest carcass; yet all re-
quirements and advantages are comprised in

more productive, its value in the home mar

IGNORANCE THE TRUE DEvIL.-While some
of the eastern papers are discussing the
question Of Henry Ward Beeclers orthodoxy,
be has settled it himself by preaching SER
mon on the Devil. He evidently believes in
the existence of an evil spirit, but does not
declare whether it is personality or only
an abstract principle. He admits that the
existence of an evil being caffcd the Devil
or Satan. is much less believed than for
merlyi but for himself he can see no reason
for doubling. Probably no man doubts the
existence of relative evil; but the conviction
is spreading and deepening that it does not
emanate from spirit or principle which is
evil per Sc, so much as from mans ignorance,
which converts into instruments of i'll what
was intended solely for good.

4 GOLDEN GurTER.-A curious religious
ceremony has lately taken place at Constan-
tinople, being the reception by the Sultan
of the golden glitter of the temple of Mecca,
wherein had been gathered the RAIN water
which falls on the roof, and which thus be-
comes holy water to the Mahommedans.-
This massive relic, which is replaced only
at great intervals, was received with much
pomp, and deposited in the treasury of the
old palace, where are several others, such
as the arms and standard of the Prophet,
and objects of a like nature.

FOLLY OF PR1DE.-Take some quiet, sober
moment of life, and add together the two
ideas of pride and man. Behold him, crea-
tire Of !. span, stalking through infinite
space ID all the grandeur of littleness.-7
Perched on speck of the Universe, every
wind Of Heaven strikes into his blood the
coidhes5 of death his soul floats from his
Body like melody from the string; day and
night, like dust on the wheel, he is rolled
along the heavens, through a labyrinth of
worlds, and all the creations of God are
flaming above and beneath.
Is this creature to make for himself
crown of glory, to deny his own flesh, to
mock his fellow, sprung from that dust to
which both will return? Does the proud
man not err? Does he not suffer? Does he
not die? When he reasons, is he not often
Stopped by difficulties ? When he, acts, is
be never tempted by pleasure? When be
lives, is he free from pain When he dies,
can he escape the common grave? Pride is
not the heritage of man; humility should
dwell with frailty AMI atone for ignorance,
error and erfections.-Sydney Smith.

FREMoNT.-This ex-presidental candidate
has obtained peaceable possession of the
Mount Ophir quartz works, which were held
as security by the laborers towhom the Mer-
ced Mining Company were indebted. He paid
the workmen the balance due them, about
$1,000, and took many of them into his own
employ. He is now constructing an iron
track railway, over which to convey quartz
to his mills.
