MONEY.


Money is q queer Institution. 1t
buys proVender, satisfies justice and
heals wounded honor. Everything
resolves itself into cash, from stock
jobbing to building churches. Child
hood Graves pennies, youth aspires to
dimes, and manhood is swayed by the
mighty dollar. The blacksmith swings
the sledge, the lawyer pleads for. his
client and the iadge decides the. ques-
ton of life and death, for his salary.
Money makes the man, therefore man
must make the money if he would be
respected by fools; for the eye Of the
world looks through golden specta-
eles. 1t buys Brussels carpets, lace
curtains, gilded cornices, rich furni-
ture, and builds marble mansions. It
drives as to church in the best equip
ages, and pays the rent of the best
pews. 1t buys silks and jowelry for
my lady; it commands the respect Of
gaping. crowds. and will have obse-
quious attention. It enables Us to be
charitable, to send Bibles to the heath.
en-, to provide domestic indulgence
1t gilds the rugged scenes of life, and
spreads over the rugged path of exist
ence a, velvet carpet soft to our tread
the rude scenes and turmoils are on
cased in gilt fence. 1t bids care
vanish, sooths the anguish OF, the bed
sickness; stops short of nothing save
the grim destroyer whose relentless
hands spare none, but level all moral
distinctions, and teach poor humanity
that it is but dust. Thus wealth
pauses. on the brink of eternity; the
beggar and the millionaire rest eide
by side beneath the sod, to rise in
equality to answer the final summons.

crusade, which he, in prophetical an

notes on Virginia advocating the abo-

Nothing is more certainly written

have drawn iudelible lines of distinc-

/, page 49,
The warning of Jefferson was dis
regarded by an extreme party in this
country, and the land has been filled
with mourning and blood-shed. Let
another party learn from that result,
and give an equal weight to all his
words on that subject. -.Fs
Jefferson, in letter to the historian,
Sparks, February 4, 1924, refers again
to this matter, and thinks the emigra-
tion-of the negro from our midst to
Mexico OF some more tropical part of
America as the true solution of the
difficulty, and results have proven the
wisdom of his teaching,
: Why, now, by the adoption of this
amendment, induce the negro to re-
main in our midst, further to compli-
cate our political relations, and thus
delay that final exodus from the coun-
try along the Gulf to region of
mixed races, which will inevitably
work itself out by the operation of
| natural causes under the great law of
emigration.
We, therefore, recommend the re-
lection of the proposed Fifteenth
Amendment, because: a-t4.t.
l. 1t centralizes too much power
in the General Government.

jected negro suffrage for herself,

on other States. --.-
3. The doctrine of mongrel races
in our Government will be dcstruc-
tive to the workings of our republi-
can institutions, and result in perma-
nent injury to both white and black.
4. The adoption of this amend
ment would effect such radical
change in the nature and principles
upon which our Government is found
ed as to call for it's ratification by q
convention Of all the States before il
forms part of our Constitution.
For these reasons, thus briefly stat
ed, with many others that might be
given, we recommend the adoption OF
the resolution rejecting this proposed
amendment.

-AcclpENT AT a cIEcus.

An incident occurred Tuesday night
at tho circus, corner of Bourbon and
Orleans streets, which nearly became
tragedy. 1t is well known to our
people that Herr Lingel, the lion Ia
mer, at the close of the performance
enters the cage of lions. For more
than . year past the lioness has had
great antipathy TO him, and has more
than once attacked him with savage
ferocity.. At Madison, Indiana, last
summer, size came very near killing
him, and as if still remembering the
advantage then obtained, she last night
made similar attack, which came as
near being fatal. For some time be-
fore entering the dens, the lions dis
covered great nneasiness, and when
the lion tanner mounted the ladder
which led to the cage, the lioness as
sumed the position which Threatened
an immediate attack. Undeterred by
this manifestation of hostility, the
iron-nerFed performer threw open the
door and darted in. For o moment
the scene was thrilling. The lions
seemed mad with rage, and sprung
from one side of the cage in apparent
ly ungoyernable fury. The lioness
was particularly spiteful, and sprung
at him more than once with open
mouth, but the mesmeric power of the
eye controlled her, and she as often
retrested into the further corner of
the cage, growing sullenly. Com
pelling the lions to go through their
usual performance, Herr Lingel was
about retreating from the den, when
the lieness, as if possessed with sud
den fury, sprang at him and clutched
his knee in her teeth. The audience
was appalled,. The shrieks of women
mingled with shouts of men. Every
body expected to see the man torn
limb from limb. But with admirable
presence of mind he succeeded in re-
leasing the hold of the animal and re-
treated from the cage. Although dan
gerously wounded, his injuries are
not such as will preclude his speedy
recovery. Il is but few days since
one of the lions in the cage entered
by Mile Ella Eugenia attacked her,
inficting painful wound in herhand.
| Notwithstanding all this, neither of
them appears at all intimidated, and
will renew their performances as soon
as their wounds will permit.-Nes0

Every body has heard of the cheer
full Malay custom Of running 'Gmoke,
but very few Europeans have seen 1t.
A writer in the Temple Bar was, how
ever, fortunate enough to see Malay
with his wild eyes in disagreeable
frenzy rolling, and describes the scene
in very effective style:
"The Lanun stood still for an In
slant. Never through eternity shall /
forget his CHASTITY face, blood-bedab-
bled, foam-streaked, working with all
fell passions. and distorted beyond the
horror of dream. He stared straight
in front, past US, to the faint dawn Wis
ible above the penang palm-trees edg-
ing the outer terrace. His eyes were
fixed, his wet hair bristled, his mouth
moved horribly! We stood watching
him i'll silent terror. All knew the
signs upon his deathly face; but be-
fore Que step was taken, one arm rails
ed in defense, he seized heavy Kay
an prang, and with yell almost be-
yond the compass of human lungs,
dashed into the crowd. What q scene
was that which followed! When can
I forget it? There were many young
girls there in all the bravery of gold
en-wrist belts and silver quantities. and
armlets of costly shell. They went
down III heap before his blind fury.
The air was full OF bloed, and long
severed hair and pitifnl screams
Men, brave as savage Bayards, fed in
superstitious terror before the amoke.

ers leaped headlong from the high We
randall. One sweep he made down
the house, overthrowing every soul,
without pity for age or sex, or fear for
the most renowned. The PamantuAh
had been overwhelmed in crowd of
fugitives, who by chance or purpose
threw themselves before him, and did
not regain his feet until the infuriated
man had reached the further door, but
when, dashing the blood from bis
eyes and forehead,i the great chief
marked him standing as in Hesitation
upon the Intel, he bounded across the
PROSTATE bodies, and, with never a
stumble on the slippery mats, rushed
at him with appraised saber. Then the
amoke turned to fee, as in most cases
these gentlemen will, when boldly
confronted. But Pamantuah was too
quick. With one strong blow he sew
cred the Lannon's muscles at the knee,
and, as he fell backward, cleft the
skull, to the neck, aud the body fell
with dull thud on to the earth be-

MANUsCR1PT SERMONS.

i Bishop Meade of Virginia, at the
commencement of his preaching, used
no notes in the pulpit; but subsequent
ly he wrote all his sermons, and was
much confined to his manuscripts. 1t
is related of him that when he was
preparing book on the old preachers
and families of Virginia, he asked Mr..
Andrew Hunter of jefferson county,
Va, to give him some anecdotes for
the work. Mr.. Hunter said, Swell,
Bishop, / have only one, and that is
about yourself" "Let us have it,
then, said the prelate. Mr.. n. then
told the following: ssass s1sstsz.

tempt for Q man who required "a rest
from which to shoot, was in the con-
gregation and listened attentively to
you. You wore your clerical robes
and he was struck with the strange
dress, as he had not heard many Epis-
copal1 preachers. After the sermon,
come one asked him how he liked the
preacher. sHe'ss right down good

ular lines of steamers from all the.
prominent ports on the Atlantic coast
from Psrtland to Galveston-while E
the Americans have scarcely single

ECLIPSE OF THE sun.

A total eclipse OF the sun will oc-
cur on the 7th of next August, and
astronomers in all parts of the coun-
try are now making extensive prepa-
rations for thorough and scientific
observation of the phenomena accom-
panying it. Besides being of great in
terest to the general observer, it will
furnish data extremely valuable to the
advancement of the astronomical, ge-
ograph;eal, and physical sciences, and
the fact that it is the only total eclipse
which will be visible in North Amer
lea during the present century, makes
it important that it should be carefully
observed. a,s-.
Coast survey parties are now en-
gagged in the determination of the lat
itude and longitude of number of
points in the western states, which
win be occupied as eclipse stations
These points are all selected SO as to
lie within the cline of totality," which
is one hundred and forty miles in
breadth, and extends from Alaska to
North Carolina. While the eclipse
will be visible in all parts of North
America, it will be partial at points
without this line. I1i f-s
At Boston the eclipse will occur at
about sunset, avery favorable time for,
observation. The center of the line
of totality passes through the city OF
Springfield, ILL.,, and quite near Des
Moines City, Iowa. Both of these
stations, as we'll as many others, will
be occupied by coast survey parties.
In response to a petition from the
American Academy of Arts and Sci
ences, Congress has appropriated the
sum of five thousand dollars and
placed it at the disposal of Prof Cof-
fin, Director of the Nautical Almanac,
to be used by him in defraying the
expenses attending the organization of
parties for the purpose of observing
the eclipse. .s...;,,..,. .,.,-..,,,s ...,,-5e d

The duration of the total phase of
the eclipse will vary from three min
utes and forty seven seconds to two
minutes and twenty-threei seconds, ac-
cor1ing to the geographical position
of the station occupied. Hss
Proceeding westward, the interval
between the eclipse and sunset i'll
crcases, and at Springfield, Illinois, it
is more than an hour. Observers on
the Pacific coast will, therefore, have
more favorable time for making OBJ
servations than those eastward. !
