A MODERN INsTANcE.-A writer in
the last Aaontic Monthly, in the course
of splendid paper on Holbein's Dance
of Death, speaks at some length of
dancing as a religions ceremony, and
thus refers to King David dancing before
the ark with all his might, and girded
only with lined ephod" /"
Dancing has always seemed to us to
be an essentially ridiculous transaction,
for man, at least; and we confess
that we sympathize with David's wife,
Michal, who, seeing this extraordinary
pas seul from her window, 'despised
David in her heart, and treated him to
little conjugal irony when he came
home. What would the lovely Eugene
have thought, if, after the fall of Sebas-
topol, she had seen his Majesty, the En-
peror of the French, cutting it down,
in broad daylight, before the towers of
Notre Dame, girded only with linen
ephod, though that's not exactly the
name we give the garment nova days?
But David was master, not only in Israel,
but in his own household, (Which is not
the case with all kings and great men,
and he said to Michal ,-'it was before
the Lord, which chose me before thy
father and before all his house;
therefore will I play before the Lord -.
and of the maid servants which thou
hast spoken of, of them shall I be had
in honor And Michal all her life re-
pointed bitterly the offence that she had
given her husband"

CHOLERA AMONG THE DIGGERs.-
The subjoined extract is from Mrs. Days
Hesperian:
In the fall of 1888, the cholera broke
out in California, and ragged with terrible
violence among the Indians; so great
was the mortality that they were unable
to burn or bury the dead, and the air
was filed with the stencil of decompos
ing humanity. A traveller who passed
up the Sacramento valley at this time,
relates that on his way up he passed a
place where there were about three hun
dred Indians, with women and children,
encamped; when he returned, after an
absence ofthree orfour days, the ground
was literally strewed with dead bodies,
all having died except one little Indian
girl; she occupied the camp alone, while
around her lay the fostering bodies of
her dead companions, and the air was
rendered noxious by the disgusting
stencil arising from the dead bodies
which, not alone in this camp, but every
where throughout the valley, strewed
the ground.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIEs.-Dr. De-
Haas estimates that there are In the Uni
ted States 100000 tumuls, or mounds,
which are supposed to have been
constructed by some ancient race, most
ly as places of sepulture Their situa-
ton indicates that they were built by
an agricultural people; indeed they are
generally most numerous in those por-
tions of the Mississippi Valley which
are now most numerously settled. Many
of these mounds have been ascertained
to hold human skeletons, though rare
ly more than two in each, and with the
skeletons are sometimes found brass I'M
plements and even pieces of cloth Some
are thought to have been mounds of sac
rifce, of worship, of observation and de-
fence. One mound in Virginia is seven
ty feet high by eight hundred in circum-
ference, and covered with forest trees.
Who shall tell the story of the vanished
race?

NEVADA TERRIroRY-1he he length,
north and south, of the proposed Terri
tory of Nevada, (Which embraces the
western half of Utah, lying between
Salt Lake and California, is about six
hundred miles; and the width, east and
west, about four hundred and fifty miles.
The population ranges from fifteen to
eighteen thousand souls, according to
Judge Crane. Towns and mining camps
are spiinging up,-some of them very
fourishing villages; and at Genoa, in
Carson Valley a newspaper has been
sometime established. Settlements ex-
tend for over two hundred miles north
and south, and over one hundred miles
east and west. The Vallies arc fertile
and inviting and the mineral resources
thought to be immense. The climate
resembles that of California, and the
products of the soil exhibit all the va
riety which charactcrizes those of our
own State.

The AMERICAN SovERETGN.-That
eccentric Irishmai,, John Mitchell, who
wants to reopen the slave trade and
make ireland independent, processes to
admire the mechanic-rulers Of America,
and thus speaks of those at the federal
capital: @
Washington City is the most demo-
cratic in America, and in the world
Everybody goes in and out everywhere;
and citizens take pride in the fact, as
well they may. You know how the gates
of legislative halls, and even of common
court-houses are guarded in England and
in Ireland, by sentries with fixed bayo-
nets; how public grounds and squares
are barred against the vulgar multitude
Here, the workmen on the Capitol bull
dings, after they have dined, frequently
spend the remainder of the hours in
lounging into the "gentlemens gallery"
of Senate or House, and listening to
high debate about Sovereign States, or
making Treaties with the monarchs of
Europe: without being overwhelmed
either by vulgar awe-as if these
were high matters far beyond their
sphere; but every laborer and marble
cutter, after listening awhile, goes out
and lights his pipe, with placid con-
sciousness that he has vote and voice
in all those transactions, and that if the
people he has employed to attend to
them for him 90 too far wrong, they

An OLD COMPLAINT 1t is very
general opinion that our political system
is full of abuses, and our official people,
of all sorts, sad set of sinners. This
is no new story; it seems to be as old as
any kind of government. Cicero,
writing to friend, says, ,'sthe candidates
for public offices, of all the people in
the world, are those most conversant in
dirty practices;' and Edmund Burke
says, In truth, the tribe of vulgar pol
iticians are the lowest of our species.
They are out of themselves in any course
of conduct recommended only by con-
science or glory. These men ought to
know something about it, for they were
ofice-hunters themselves and went in
for what they could get as we'll as most
others.

CHINA.-The magnitude of the Chi
nese empire is greater than that of any
other save the Russian. Its territory
covers 100000 of square miles or
nearly double that of the whole United
States.
The streets of China are from 5 to
feet wide, and are paved with granite
slabs, each three to four feet in width.
The conveyance is either on horseback
or in sedans The lower orders of man.
darins ride horses; the higher in sedans.
Horses are never used for draught The
foreign trade of China is in tea and silks.
In 1886 they exported 92,OOO,O00
pounds Of tea; in 1856, 127, 100000
pounds. The Oolong teas grow upon
the hills in the vicinity of Marking.
The ship Spitfre vessel of 1549 tuns,
in which Mr.. Baldwin and family sailed
to England, had a cargo of 1850, 600
pounds of tea, which cost there thirty
cents pound The duties on it amount
ed to S166, 900, the freight to $40, 900,
and the insurance to $40, 900. The cargo
was worth on its arrival 81 ,271 900.

RUSSIAN MAIL.-We are accustomed
to boast of the great extent of the
United States mail service, but Russia,
that country of magnificent distances,
has one mail route which Uncle Sam
cannot parallel. The Siberian mail is
conveyed from ST. Petersburg to Mos
COW by rail, and from thence to Irkutsk,
the capital of Eastern Siberia, in carria-
ges drawnby horses. The distance from
Moscow to Irkutsk is 1926 miles, and
there are 210 mail stations on the road
for changing horses. The mail commu-
nication is weekly, and the expense
of it to the Russian Government is about
957 900 a year. The mail from Moscow
to Irkutsk is generally CON- eyed in about
rs or 80 davs

Doubt and Faith.

Silence is vocal If we listen we'll:
And Life aud Being sing in duIest ears
From morn to night. from night to mern again.
With fine articuatons; but when God
Disturbs the soul with terror, or inspires
With "a great JOY, the words of Doubt and Faith
Sound quick and sharp like drops on forest leaves
And we looh up to where the pleasant sky
Kisses the thunder-caps, and drink the song.
SONG OF DOUBT.
The day is quenched, and the sun is fled;
God has forgotten the world!
The moon is gone, and the stars are dead'
God has forgotten the world!
Evil has won in the horrd feud
OF ages with The Th rome;
Evil stands on the neck Of Good,
And rules the world alone.
There is no good; there is no God;
And faith is heartless cheat
Who bares the back for the Deyi Is rod,
And scatters thorns for the feet.
What are prayers in the lips of death,
Filling and chilling with haill
What are prayers bnt wasted breath
Beaten back by the gale2
The day is quenched; the sun is fled;
God has forgotten the world!
The moon is gone and the stars are dead;
God has forgotten the world.
SONG OF FAITH.
Day will return with fresher boon;
God Will remember the world
Night will come with newer moon;
God will remember the world!
Evil is only the slave of Good;
sorrow the servant of joy;
And the soul is mad that refuses food
OF the meanest in Gods employ.
The fountain of joy is fed by tears
And love is lit by the breath of sighs;
The deepest griefs and the widest fears
Have holieSt ministries.
Strong grows the oak in the sweeping storm,
Safely the flower sleeps under the snow;
And tue farmers hearth is never
Till the cold wind starts to blow.
Day will return with a fresher boon
God will remember the world
Night will come with newer moon;
God will remember the world

AMERICAN MILITARY GENIUS

AMERICAN MILITARY GENIUS
The London Times which is not apt to
praise anything American, has the fol-
lowing complimentary paragraph:
The Americans have an excellent
judgment in military and naval matters,
which they handle in spirit always
liberal and generally sagacious It was
so from the very beginning of their his
tory. They never passed through a
period of infancy or routine, but took
the field, when they did take it, in a
fashion at once superior to tnat of old
fastened belligerents. They have the
merit of anticipating even the French
of the Republic in discarding every
thing like precedent, and going straight
by the shortest cut to the mark before
them.

Hymn to the People.
By c. d. STUART,


Not to be blest with warrior strength,
TO WELD the swold and wear the gIaive,
Or rise to conqueror' fame at length,
Proclaims the good or makes the brave
To have the power to bide the scorn,
Aud rise above the hate and strife
Of those to wea tn and title born,
Is the crown'd courage OF our life.
What are the swords that prop king
The banners in his army van
To strength of soul. that dares to spring
And show the monarch in the man?
Kings and the mightiest men of arms,
Strong as the heads of realms they bide,
Sport as they may with fortunes charms,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim old sepulchres they lie,
The feast of silence and decay,
While the true world-heart beateth high
And thrones itself upon to-day.
Give me the man whose hands have tossed
The corn-seed to the mellow soil,
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose brow is nobly crown'd with toll.

A POLAR JoURNAL.-A traveller in
Norway, writing to the Boston Recorder,
gives an account of the northermost
paper in the world, the Trimsoe Times.
1t is printed in Trimsoe, little island
village, of about 1000 inhabitants, on
the coast of Norway, at three degrees
within the polar circle. The summer
sun kindly looks in at the office windows
at midnight to see that the forms are
properly set up. The Times is four
PACED, semi-weekly sheet, with only two
columns on page, and about the size
of a quarto book form. The style of type
is the Gothic, which has been discarded
in Sweden, and to considerable extent,
in both Germany and Denmark. The
latter are the only nations which contain
the Gothic hand writing.

OVERLAND MAIL ROUTES. The
Post Office Appropriation bill has been
so amended by the U. S. Senate as to
reduce the pay for conveying the mail
over the Butterfeld route from 5000, 900
to $3.50 900 per annun, and the service
is made weekly instead of semi-weekly
as now. The schedule time over the
Placerville and St. Joseph's route ria
Salt Lake, is reduced from thirty eight
to twenty days and the appropriation
increased S1l0,000 The Stockton and
Arkansas route is abolished, and new
weekly route will probably be established

HUMANITY BEFORE CREEDs. Il can
not help saying that, in spite of the di-
visions of sect and creed, if we could
but read each others hearts as God reads
them, | doubt if we should find we are
SO widely separated as we appear to be.
Some think discussions and intellectual
research will bring about agreement in
religious differences. [, for my part,
do not think so. A comparison of sharp
arguments on either side generally re-
suits in keeping men wider apart; where
as, when they are drawn together by a
common passion, common want or sor-
row, there is chord struck in the heart
of every man to which the heart of his
fellow man responds. This is the secret
of our common religious beliefs. The
ministers of many churches are bound
together by trammels of the past; they
scannot give free scope to their own in
quiries and thoughts, but are obliged to
work up the opinions handed down. to
them from the past. The ministers of
such churches are not allowed to form
by their own minds, but have to start
from programme; they take their
screed as an advocate does his brief.

/ DrvocrAcY-Extract from speech delivered
at Buffalo, oct. goth, by Hon. Daniel S. Dickin-
son, of New York:
| democracy demands and will select men, when
great crisis S impending, who can stand to the
watch in storm and peril, as well as in the calm
and placid sea--thoSe who can hold the helm
firmly when the ocean casts mp her mire and dirt
when liqhtnings fash and thunders roar-whcn
waves dash and winds beat and danger threatens,
rs fearlessly as when all is peace.
1t is no apology for the true Democrat that the
party in designating its agents, has failed in his
judgment TO take them from its best personnel
or that the selection was partial, or might have
been improved. or that Just claims or pretensons
wore overlooked and di,regarded, or that the ac
tion OF the party passed beyond or fell short of
the line Of true wisdom, or that some other time
or mode would have been better. II such crit
cisms were Just the objections would he Of a TEN
pOrary character, and the remedy for such and
all kindred grievances would rest in forward and
not retrograde movements it would be soonest
found in forming more complete and perfect
union Of the rank and file, and not in scattering
seeds of irritation. dscord and strife, and yield
ing to a common enemy.
If any one whose expectations have not been
answered is inclined to ventilate his complaints
over committees or conventions, or delegations,
or candidates chosen. let him remember the re-
buke of the Irish officer to the soldier who was
bowling so Justify on he battle field, where both
wounded,- - Shut your noisy head do you sup

The support of Democratic measures and the
advancement and success Of its benign prnci
pies, are worthy of the noblest ambition. To
cayil and dispute and disorgauize over the selec
tiOns Of agents and pacemcn, and leave the de-
fence of the citadel, is position too bumiliatng
for the contemplation Of an honorable mind
