ReS" Nothing on earth can smile but
human beings. Gems may fash reflect
ed light, but what is diamond fash
compared with an eye flash and mirth
flash A face that cannot smile is like II
bud that cannot blossom, and dries up ON
the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety
is night, and smile is che twilight that
hovers gently between both, and more be-
witching than either.

rHE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH

during the intervening time, was merged into
the Law :Academy of Philadelphia, of which
Peter j. Duponceau was then elected Provost.
This still exists under most favorable auspices.
1t has turned out many good lawyers 1t holds
its meetings weekly, and its exercises consist of
mock arguments, and sometimes of an essay,
read by one of the jadges of the courts. While
nearly all the present members of the bar have
passed through the academy in some way or
the yearly dues, the organization is kept up by
the younger men who have just been admitted
to the bar or who are about to enter. The Off
GERS are elected annually. The place of
meeting is the new room of the Court of
Quarter Sessions. The legal profession gene
rally take great interest in its welfare, and do
everything in their power to promote its in
terests. 1t has now been kept running with
unabated interest for forty-fve years, aud its
prospects are good for the future. Its influence
on the standard of our Philadelphia bar is GER
tainly appreciable, and with the right care
could be made much more so. To the young
candidate for legal honors it is of the greatest
Importance giving him a chance to practice in
everything appertaining to legal business, before
making his appearance in the public court
room. An institution on this plan is of benefit
life. Such associations have, or should have,
for their end and aim the attainment of the
highest excellence, and the attainment of such
excellence in any department is to the best
interests of all.

PUBLIC DINNER IN FIu.-A public din
ner in Fiji is very great affair, aud you
must take care how you behave at it. All the
guests bear hand in feeding the oven or
stirring the pot. A floor of clean leaves is
covered with cocoa-pots, on which are heaped
baked taro and yams ''to the amount of
several TONS" The next tier is formed of
cdkaL0l0, or puddings in green leaves, we'll
oiled. Surmounting this pedestal are the
baked turtles, or two or three hogs baked
whole. On one occasion there were fifty
tons of yams, fifteen tons of sweet pudding,
seventy turtles, five cart-loads of yaqona,
and two hundred tons of uncooked yams.
One of the puddings measured twenty
one feet in circumference. A Lord
Mayors feast in Guildhall is mere fooling to
this. And the turtle, too! But if you have
the honor to be invited TO feast in Fiji, you
must be cautious. A chief, having eaten a
cocoanut without offering bit to one of his
followers, the latter went over to the enemy,
and in the next battle singled out his former
master He asked to be spared. ''Do you
not" was the stern reply, remember the
nut? For that you must die" And then
came the fatal blow. Another chief sat down
with his law; bat on passing dish,
a cooked guiana, he broke off part of its tail.
"a dark scowl covered his relatives face,
and at the earliest opportunity he slew bis
son-in-law, having first told him that he could
not put up with broken tail.-Letsure Hours.

The MoAB1TE SToNE.-At the British Asso-
citation, in the department of Ethnology and
Anthropology, paper on ''The relation of
the Ancient Moabites to neighboring nations,
as disclosed in the newly discovered Moabite
Stone" was lately read by Rev. G. D. Guis-
burg, LII. d. He said that the inscription
Bible, and when it was borne in mind that
years before Christ, it would be seen that the
Old Testament. Out of twelve or fifteen
Moabite cities mentioned in the Old Testa-
ment eleven were enumerated in the inscrip-
tion. Respecting the relation of the ancient
Moabites to the neighboring nations, he had
come to the conclusion that at the period in
dicated an organized temple-service existed
among Jews out of Palestine, and that the
service must have been very much akin to the
service of the Moabites; that nine hundred
years before Christ the word "Jehovah,"
which was afterwards so much avoided by the
Jews, was so much upon the lips of every
Jew that it passed over to neighboring
nation; that the language Of the inscription,
which was infinitely moro simple than two
thirds of the Old Testament, showed that the
Moabites had attained to high state of cul-
tivation; that in military prowess they were
superior to the Jews; and that from them the
ancient Greeks and Romans and we ourselves
had derived what had become our alphabet
In the course of the discussion which fol-
lowed, Professor Rawlinson objected to some
of the conclusions of DR.. Guisburg. He
claimed for the Ph9nicians the merit of dis
coveries attributed to the Moabites.

AMERICAN Books IN ENGLAND. A London
letter to the Boston advertiser says:-The
Westminster Re0ieD in the new number
vouchssfes us paper on American literature,
ia which panegyrics and patronizing conde-
scenson are oddly mixed. ''There is not a
score of names in American literature, says
the writer, ''that may be placed in the front
ranks among poets, historians, and novelists
and there is not one to vie with the leading
names in the Old World" One expects these
things at regular intervals, but somehow they
produce no effect. Reviewers may pronounce
as they will, American books compete vigor-
ously with English ones on this side of the
Atlantic. Every bookstall at railway sta
tion; every circulating library at watering
place. every one of those dear old book-tents
at a country fair-has strong detachment of
volumes which are above all things Ameri-
can. This popularity of American literature
unquestionably increases, and extends in
fiction from ''The Last of the Mohicans" to
''The Gates Ajar." In English boarding
schools Cooper is more read than Scott, and
Longfellow, throughout the land, is nearly
as much seen as the Bible. If provision
could be made for keeping constant supply
at reasonable price, the Atlantic Monthly
and the North american Regte,o would meet
with numerous purchasers. At large shop
on Ludgate Hill-a famous thoroughfare-
the stock consists of little else than cheap
editions of American books in paper covers.
You may there buy ''The House with Seven
Gables" for ninepence and "The Spy" for
sixpence. The place is not kept by Ameri-
cans, nor do the people appear to have any
special American connection. They seem to
rely upon the amazing fondness of the pre-
sent generation for books that deal with
American life or possess the characteristics
of American thought. If there were only an
international copyright, what damages"
some folks on your side would get from this !!

A TEXAS paper says that when General Reynolds received the dispatch announcing the reconstruction of the State, he read 1t and handed it to a citizen with the remark :: {" I feel as if a great weight had been lifted from me; thank God am through with the heaviest contract ever undertook l have done the best could l have clear con science l wish the people of Texas the greatest prosperity '-Er-haRgs.
 The good people of Texas and the entire country should not soon forget Gen. Reynolds. He has had a difficult task to perform, and has performed it in a gentlemanly manner. Had he so willed, he might have managed affairs in Texas as Ames did in Mississippi, and secured for himself seat in the United States Senate. But, he scorned to do so, knowing full well that he was not entitled to it, and would not be acceptable to the people of Texas. All honor to General Key holds. He has accomplished an unnecessary unconstitutional job, with great credit tC himself, and considerable ease to the people of Texas.

orAKERs AND INDIANs.--A gentleman who is close observer and of large experience, writing from Washington says;
 "Four.fifths of the Congressmen and Sen ators sustain General Sheridan in the posi- tion he has taken in Indian affairs. It IS generally assumed here that Mir Vincent Colyer is a visionary humanitarian, whose observations, both in Alaska and on the Plains, are of little practical consideration. A decided reaction has taken place against thesQuaker and Samaritarian policy adopted towards the savages, and considerable nnm- her of Western and Pacific coast Represent atives are even hostile to making any more treaties or distributing food among the tribes It is alledged that feeding the Indians makes them indolent and insolent, and encourages them to persist in their nomadc and shift | less mode of life. Sheridan's catalogue oi ! the recent Indian atrocities is generally ac- cepted as authentic, and it has aroused ab- horrence. The pacific compromising policy is decidedly below par. We have seemed tC reach that point where civilization demands that we regard the Indians as irresponsible and impacable, and not to be purchased tt peacc by the methods at hand under ou form of government. The Indian ring is b, no means defunct, and all it's members are oi
 the side of the humanitarians. On the othe
 hand, there is lobby here which would b
 glad to see the Indians driven off their res
 ervations, SO that the latter might fall int
 the hands of land-iobbers and railroad COT
 porations.

TIE lava which has flowed from volcanoes IS such poor conductor of heat that the in- terror Of the stream may remain red hot for years after the exterior has hardened, or even been reduced to cultivation The lava of Jorullo was hot enough to light cigar twen- ty-one years after it's issue; and sixty-six years later it was perceptbly heated enough to give rise to the escape of steam. One of the lava flows of Htna, that of l7s7. spread over mass of snow, which in 1860 stii re- mained unmelted, while the overlying mass of rock was quite hot. The snow was pre- served from melting by layer of ashes. through which the heat was conducted with extreme slowness.
