At Home.

The report of the Mexican Border
Commission is now in the possession
of the State Department. The Com
missioners themselves are on their way
to Washington. 1t is understood that
the United States Government will
take the ground that it is justified in
taking the question of protecting its
own citizens INTO its own hands.
John f. Cooke, British Vice Consul
at st. Louis, Mo-, has been engaged
for some time past in taking statements
and depositions of British subjects who
lay claims against the United States
Government for various kinds of dam
age during the war; The principal
case is that of J. NJ. p. Nolan, young
Irishman, who was imprisoned in two
or thee military prisons, in all about
six hundred days, and who claims
some 100000. The claims will amount
to considerably over Il million of dol
lars. The depositions and statements
will be forwarded to Washington as
soon as made out, and the Commission
now in session there will consider
them.

The Science Of Chemistry.

OF all the sciences which have so
far been developed to the world,
none is so nearly Indispensable, or
has furnished so much material for
blessings, progress, wealth, health,
and happiness, as chemistry. While
it was regarded rs mere beautiful
and intricate pIaything, too subtitle
to be brought into general practical
use, the world made but little pro
grcss in its arts, sciences, and me
Chanisms; but ~ soon rs it was ac-
knowledgcd as the indispensable
agent Of ;all knowledge, behold,
with what power the inhabitants of
the earth leap forward. Nothing is
impossible; nothing is left undone.
An eminent writer says :-"Chcm-
istry has added very materially to
the wealth of the people generally;
but it has accomplished far more
than at first thought appears. 1t
has given us better vontilntiOn; util-
lied noXious substances that were
otherwise rcpulsivo or dangerous (;
made plain to the student what ar
ticlcs were poisonous, and the anti
dotcs that render them harmless
has increased our pleasures, and
made existence far more enjoyable
to all, but particularly to the COM
mon labOrer. Besides, it has length
ened the average duration Of hui
man life. By the direct app pllcatlon
of the principles of the science IN
the development of almost every
modern art, success has been render
ed more certain, and the field Of in
veption has shone with the brillan-
cy of its discoveries w.
But our greatest industries are,
more than all, indebted to this
science for their principal strength
and prominence. Bury chemistry,
and all knowledge of it, and iron
and steel would occupy the same
grave. Without these, where would
cur civilization be, or what would
life be worth ?

The Cure for France.

Among the rare and curious vol
umes in the Library of tho British
and Foreign Bible Society, says the
Reporter, is n little French book with
this title, "'Iho Holy Gospels of
our Saviour Jesus Christ Trans.
lated by lie Maistro de Sacy. Popu-
lar edition. Dedicated to the French
Nation by Working Printers. With
an Introduction by the Authors of
the parliamentary History of the
French Revolution" Paris, 1887.
The Introduction begins by stating
that the cheapness of the volume is
owing to the fact that the printers
gave their services gratuitously
Born and bred amidst poverty and
trouble, they could not but feel SYM
pathy for their fellow-men. They
perceived that the worse slavery to
which the poor were subjected was
the slavery Of the heart and of the
intellect; that tho love of animal
pleasure led the way to Incidence, to
discomfort. and to every kind of sell
tishness; that the evil example of the
higher classes had impressed itself
only too readily on the lives of the
lower; and that the herding together
Of families in vast crowds tended to
do away with the simplicity, modes
ty, and virtue, which were still to
be found in secluded hamlets, and
in out-of-tho-way fishing villages.
The writers proceed to point out
that inyasions from without, and rev.
olutions from within, arise from the
fact that the leaders of the people
seek their own pleasure, and not the
welfare of those over whom they
rule. The Revolution of 1889 is
described as an outbreak against
evil rulers, but alas it was conduct
ed by those who were little, if any,
better themselves. Atheists came to
the head of affairs, but France was
not ready for atheism, and they had
to give up their position to men who
were sceptical and deistical, and who
disbelevcd in Revelation. But Lib
erty, Equality, and Fraternity are
idle words, unlos those who uphold
them accept the Divinity of Jesus
Christ; hence France struggled on
without attaining her great end, the
regeneration of her social fabric.
Thus forty eight years passed away,
anG the people had to witness more
crime, moro vice, more debauchery,
more Hypocrisy more unbelief-in II
word, more seliishness than ever
Instead Of loving God above all. and
loving their neighbor as themselves,
men seemed to sum up their IDEAS
of duty i'll two commandments, that
they should love themselves above
all, and that they should love money
more than all men put together
The writer's break off with a pray
er, calling upon God topity the peo-
pie, and to look fNyorably on the
work Of these printers, who had free
Iy given the labor of their hands to
spread the Gospel among the poor
believing that the day on which
France accepted the Gospel of
Christ would be the day Of her sal
walton. This was in 1887, undor the
reign of Louis Philippe.

Beauty and Religion.

DVNu'1 anu NClIhlOus
Beauty is not accidental and law
less on the contrary, we believe it
does obey an inrallible law. Always,
in its present form, it is religious ;
and the varying estimates of differ
ent tastes are graduated according
to the purity of the religious concep-
tions involved. In the last analases
beauty is one truth, and both are
written in cipher which the religious
sense alone can interpret and resolve.
The significance of things is definite
but it is revealed to us according to
a sliding scale, of which religious
culture measures the degrees. 1t is
indeed our light thrown upon nature
which interrupts beauty but if that
light be religious, finer clements will
become apparent, and beauty be-
come more clear. 1t is sympathy
with the outward world that unlocks
its treasures that sympathy is born
of religion, and is strengthened and
deepened by every accession OF spir-
itual life. To the mind of God, un-.
doubtedly, every fact in the material
world has u fixed significance, II pre-
else and definite value. The uni
verse is his art, and struggles to eX-
press the crystalized and imprisoned
thoughts which he has written there.
A delicaae correspondence connects
every beast and bird and tree and
flower with some type of thought, or
passion, or emotion, present in the
Creators mind at their foundation,
and of which they are organized ex-
ponents. But we rise toward, and
appreciate so much of this infinite
art as the purity of our inner life can
gauge. Likeness to the divine ma
ture only will admit us to the secrets
of the divine mind. All the chang
ing degrees of significance, which
the objective word assumes, from
that feeling of health and buoyancy
and animal enjoyment which the
lowest minds experience in u clear
and bracing morning, to the untath-
omable inspiration of the poet and
the artist are determined by its pres
ence and its purity. The truth of
this position cannot be shaken by
any seeming contradiction of eXpe-
rience or history. Raphael may
paint finer pictures than Canning,
by assiduous culture, could even i'm
itate but the finer sympathy with
nature. the purer delight in her COM
panionship, and deeper suggestions
from her inexhaustiblo stores of
truths will visit the soul Of him who
has drunk deeper of the elements Of
moral life. There are few Of us who
cannot verify this by our experience.
Not while our souls remain stepped
in sensuality, or fettered by dull and
sordid cares, will come the revela-
tons that are hidden in tho uni
verse. The lilies Of the field have
no meaning to the cold eye of ava
rice, but to tho warm spirit of Jesus
they reflect the doctrine of universal
providence. And so, with us, it is
in moments of calmer meditations,
in seasons of quiet prayer, or after a
noble deed that the awakened ener'
gies of cur inner life spontaneously
lnterprets the oracles of nature.
And thus where we least expect it
we find that love exists. Beauty is
always relative to our state of mind,
but it has also an objective existence
that reveals itself according to our
pioty and yirtue-T. Starr King.

INSPIRA TON.

Deem y6 that only in the ages olueh
Was inspiration given?
The chain which binds us TO the sphere
above us.
BY Time shall ne'er be riven.
And through It's golden links, though all
unspJken,
Come thoughts and words divine:
The sacred fire from heaven still burnoth
On many an earthly shrine.
Still to tho lnmost heart, by intuition,
Come breathing from afar:
still are we led, as by our spirit vision,
BY Truth, our guiding star.
And when we wander through the realms
of dreamland,
Are not dim warnings sent;
Faint glimpscs of the unrevealed iutur
With past remembrance blent?
Whence comes the eloquence which so en-
chains us,
And bends to It's control
The deepest, holiest feelings of our natures,
Which sways the very soul
The strains of music, which will charm us
ever
From youth to hoary age;
The gems of thou ;h which poc1y hath
scattered
On every glowing page?
And o, by childhood, such rare thoughts
are uttered,
Such prophecies divine,
They seem to stand midway 'twiXt eaEth
and heaven,
And on them seems to shine.
Some rays of glory from its open portal;
And guarding them with love,
We gain some gleamings of the life immor-
tai,
Pure wisdom from above,
Man is but little lower than the angels,
If true to its high trust.
And still, If he but heed them, glad evan
gels
Shall raise him from the dust.

BY ghostly toys that make no noise
Just when their noise is wanted.

What swords are whitfield out OF sucks!
What brave hats made of paper!
The dinner bell peals loud and well.

And then the rush of "steam car trains"
Sets all our ears a-hummng,
How oft say, "Whnt shall do

And all their din and clattcr.

Wonderful Surgical Opcration.

One of the most remarkable cures
on record has been nearly effected
upon the person Of Miss Hattie
Thomas of Waterbury, Conn, who
was scalped in Il button manufactory
over Il year ago, from the nape Of
her neck to her eye.balls, 50 that the
skull was laid bare. Death was ex-
pected, and almost hoped for, as the
only relief that could come to her,
but the doctor noticing that she
rallied from the first prostrating
effects of the accident, determined
t. experiment with the French pro-
cess of "skin grating" and after
the head had been brought into a
healthy state of suppuration, he
ma le the first attempt, taking the
"seed skin from the patients arm.
The result was admirable, but ex-
haustion was Induced by the new
wounds, and a supply of skin had to
be taken from other sources. The
nurse of Miss Thomas kindly vol
unteered /; the doctor, delighted
with success, applied the knife to
his own arms, and many young lady
friends came forward ard sacrificed
portions of their own bodies for the
salvation of their suffering sister
Over one hundred separate pieces
made up the new scalp, and Miss
Thomas has souvenirs of her friends
much better than bedquilt blocks
or even locks Of hair.

if unloaded. When loaded camel
has to pass through one of those en-.
