\ glorious revival of religion has been
an progress at Hurricane Camp Ground
since Friday night. Although the trains
ran past at unfortunate hours, thus pre-
venting regular attendance from the
towns, the congregations were generally
very good. Privileges had been rented
10 Mike Roller and Digger Il Co., for
COnfectioneries, aud Cap and Creed for
barber-shops, at ten dollars each. The
aonfectioneries were closed on Sunday.
But little drunk enneSS was observed.
Lev. LansdoWn, special policeman, kept
the promises free from rOwdies and evil
doors. Mrs. jackson became quito sick
Tuesday night She had not entirely re-
covered from dangerous illness Of sew
eral weeks previous. The tenters were,
as usual, very kind and hospitable TO
everybody. The only thing lacking was
some good leader of song to assist Mr..
Banks, of Williamson, and others. in
loading the singing. Major Thos. >.
Stratton used to De great loader, and
sung at all meetings for miles around
ever since his conversion at Wilkes in
1910. but he has lost his voice. There
were probably not as many COMMISSIONS
this year as on previous occasions, but
IL was not on account of want OF interest
and zeal, but because the sinners of tho
surrounding country were nearly all

GREEK BRIGANDAGE.-Among other
evils which the world seems destined to
endure until it comes to an end Is Greek
brigandage. 1t was confidently asserted
a short time ago that arrangements had
been entered into between the Greek and
Turkish Governments by which brigand-
age on the Greco Turkish frontiers was
to be exterminated, but it appears that
the proposed convention remains in abey-
ance. In consequence Of the recent
change of the Ottoman Foreign Minister,
the Porte, says the Levant Herald, has
not yet communicated to the Hellenic Le-
CATION the proposal it desires to substitute
for that suggested by the Greek Govern
ment for the establishment of neutral
zone of considerable extent on the bor-
der, within which the Greek and Turkish
troops, either alone or in concert, should
be free to pursue or otherwise operate
against the brigands without restriction.
The Seraskierate, it is understood, objects
that this intermediary frontier belt Of
some twenty-five miles in extent would
embrace the Turkish town and fortress OF
Arta, and number of Turkish villages
and castle in the mountain ranges of
Otrys and Agraphi, and it presumably
does not altogether favor a plan which
would give Greek troops free range in
those places. 1t seems nevertheless ra'
ther hard on those who are robbed and
murdered by the brigands that the two
Governments, whose duty it is to preserve
order and prevent crime on their frontiers
should have any difficulty in coming to
an understanding on this question. In
the meantime how the brigands must
chuckle

The Philosophy of Bea d..

The wearing of the beard was, by some
nations, strictly regarded as a religious
rite from which no dispensation was pos
sible. Even its arrangement became a
matlhr Of grave Importance. The Tar
tars estimated the per,ians as no better
than inidelS, .uasmuch as they would not
adopt their custom Of cutting the ahs-
kers. \ long and saugunary war was
wdged owing to their obStiulcy, which
aro,o from n national sense Of honor. So
highly dii the Persians value the beard
that, according to ST. Chrysosi IN, their
kings had this natural appen1igo woven
or matted with gold thread. This style
OF hirsuie ornamentatloU was improved
upon in subsequent ages by the rulers OF
France, who had their flowing boards
fastened with gold buttons None need

1t will be remembered that the late
Thaddcus Stevens left large property to
a nephew, on condition that he should alb
stain from all kinds of intoxicating drinks.
This young man, it seems, is an ardent
disciple of DR.. Bowditch and of his breth-
rem Of the Massachusetts Board Of Health
and believes that little wine or ale is
necessary to his health and comfort, He
therefore declines to comply with the con-
ditions of the will. In consequence Of
this decision, the executors of the estate
have determined to apply the portion des.
ignated variously estimated to be from
SOC, 900 to $780, 0000-to the founding of
an Orphans Home in Lancaster, Pa.
This is probably the only case on record
where love of intoxicating drinks has
proved beneficial to orphans or anybody
else, except the rumseller. Even in this
case, though one mans love OF liquor
causes the erection of an Orphans Home,
it is safe to say that a love Of liquor in
others will soon make orphans enough to
fill it,

JApAN.-It is rather novel to hear Il
live Japanese before New York audi
ence tell us in good English that Japan
has population Of more than 100000
souls, and history which runs back, by
tradition, over $500 years, with authen-
tic records for more than LOO; while
her neighbors just across the Chinese
Sea, in China, from whom Japan obtained
her written language, and whose civiliza-
cation Japan adopted about thousand
years ago, have population Of nearly
400, 100000, and history covering
about 1000 years The future is also
well defined, Differences are giving
way, aud the Chinese and japanese are
learning to admire many Of our customs,
and have found advantage as well as
plea. uro in initiating us IN many things,
and adopting some of ouI systems, max
ing them h,. own. We think the guest
FROM Japan of the Chamber OF Commerce
was quite right when he intimated that
the japanese had made immense advan-
ces in ten years, as when he also said
even the United States were not at the
summit Of perfection.
