4. X. MoDONALD.---The Hydraulic Press OF
Saturday has the following:
Calvin B. Mcdonald was in this place
day or two ago, and promised to return with
in the coming fortnight. to deliver public
lecture to the citizens of North San Juan, His
abilities as a writer are better known to the
editorial fraternity than to the people of the
State at large, and are of high literary or
der. The subject selected is "Riehelieu'--
"A name familiar to the reader of history and
the admirer Of the modern drama. Bulwer
has used it to immortalize one of his best
plays, and France poiGts to it as distinguish
ed in her annals for all that was crafty in
diplomacy and commanding in ministerial
craftsmanship. One of her writers has said,
that Richeieu made his sovereign Uouis
KID play the second part in his monarchy,
and the first in Europe; he degraded the
King, but be rendered the reign illustrious" /"
A well drawn portraiture of such man,
could not fail to entertain an intelligent au-
dience and Judging Mac by his reputation
as newspaper writer, we think he would
acquit himself with honor, and to the enter
tainment of his hearers"

THE LION AND THE UNIcoRN.-James l Of
England, was the first who united the lion
aRd the unicorn heraldically, adopting the
latter beast from the supporters of the Scot
iish sovereigns. The conjunctions of these
animals on an ecclesiastical vestment of the
period of the Reformation must be attributed
to religious symbolism rather than to any
heraldic arrangement; the lion typiylng for
titude and strength, while the unicorn is ty-
picai of fortitude and chastity. AS such, the
former may have reference TO our Lord "the
Lion Of JUDAH" and the latter may be an
emblem of the blessed Virgin Mary. The
tradition with regard 10 the unicorn, that 1t
would never be caught except 10y = virgin,
and that if its skin was at all dehled it pined
away and died, is well known. Its capture
was a favorite subject with the medieval ar
tist. have before met with these animals
as powdering for vestment, think among
the inventories in Sir William Dugdale s
History of st. Pauls"-Notss and Q"sr-
yies.

PASSION FOR SUIoIDE-A soldier at tha Ho-
tel des Invalids in Paris, hung himself by
post and was a short time after initiate by
dozen others. The contagion of his eXan-
pie was only checked by a removal of the
fatal post. Napoleon on one occa' sion caused
a sentry-boX to be burned, in which a sue
cession of suicides had occurred. AT a Ger
tain period at Malta, suicides were SO fright
fully multiplied in a regiment i'll garrison,
that the commandant adopted many plans
to arrest them-but all III vain. 1t was only
after working on their superstition 10y refus-
ing Christian burial in such cases, that the
spirit of imitation ceased. In Lyons the wo
men conceived on a certain occasion pas
sion for self-destruction, and many threw
themselves into the wells of the town. 1t is a
well known fact in France, that in the little
village of Sainte-Pierre, Monzan, in the de
partmelt Of Na'a S, a woman hung herself
great number followed her example, and,
had not the civil authorities interfered, the
eontagion would have spread indefinitely.
1t may seem strange, but it is no less true
that there existed at Berlin a club of suicides
composed of six persons, who boldly avowed
their intention of destroying themselves, and
sought 10y all possible means to make prose-
lytes They were scoffed at and ridcued
but three of the number committed the act
in conformity with their pledge, and in the
end the act was consumated by the remain
ing three The last killed herself 1917. a
club of suicides has also existed in Paris, com
posed Of twelve individuals The rule that
governed the society was that they should Sc
lect every year one who shobld die by his
own hand These instances serve to illustrate
the force of example, and the tendency TO
imitation; since they were too strong where
other causes combined to aid, for the checks
of conscience or the instructive fear Of death.

"The organizing of stock companies for

million, is poor affair; and many Of them
have so great contempt for small figures as
to advertise that they are incorporated with
IA capital of two, three, and as high az four
million dollars. OF course, it is not to be
expected that men who deal in such huge
sums should bother themselves about so small
a matter as fifty cents; and this accounts for
the fact that the President of one of these
,oealthy associations, yesterday. was unable
to file the articles of incorporation, because
the Clerk refused to do so until he received
his fee. The capital stock of his company
was only S3,500000!'
