1.-THE Modern Devil " is made the title
of an editorial leader in one of the reli-
gious weeklies, which describes Milton's
Lucifer in the terms most applicable to
man of the world. 1.-THE Modern
Devil" says the writer, has risen above
old-fashioned Puritanism and provincial
strictness. He means business, and
knows just what is practical and how to
take men as they are. He is troubled
no longer by high strung theories and
foolish sentimentalities. He knows
easier ways of getting a living than by
the sweat of his brow or any regular oc'
cupation. He has found out how conve-
nient it is, instead of burdening ones
self with the care Of family, to live on
the European plan. To-day he appears
as wit whose sparkling sentences would
turn holiness into a laughing stock. To-
morrow he figures as novelist whose
voluptuous description and too realistic
delineation of all that is bad in life slim
ulate unholy passions and callous all
delicate sensibility. Here his gilded sa-
looms and Aaring posters haunt in the
public eye; there you are handed his
private advertisements addressed to the
afflicted and when at last you see him
square in the face you recognize him as
some old acquaintance of solid respecta.
bility, or as some eminent parsonage OF
hitherto unsupported probity.'

AnHourin Gen. Lees Room.


From the Lexington tva.) GaEette.l
In strolling around, the first spring
day, we stopped at the Memorial chapel
and passed through the rooms partlcn-
larly associated with the memory OF
General Lee. The guard-a student of
the university--walked with us through
the apartments.
Over the marble slab, in the center Of
the library room, are wreaths OF flowers,
crosses and crowns of immortelles In a
circle of autumn leaves. The marble is
inserted in the floor and over the vault.
From this room door leads into the
Office once used by the Secretary OF the
faculty. This is now bare and empty.
From this apartment door opens into a
small hall, and then into the General 6
room" as it is called. 1t is well known
that its furniture has never been
changed. 1t remains as left by General
Lee.
The round table in the center Of the
room is still covered with his papers
all orderly arranged. The scraps oil
blank paper were kept in systematic
manner. A professor took piece for
memorandum, when the general
handed him fragment from another
lot. He had intended the first sheet for
another purpose. All his writing was
done at this table. He used an arm
chair with leather seat and on rollers.
He wrote rapidly, rarely interlining or
emitting words. There were no such
things as rough drafts He finished at
a single heat whatever he had in hand.
When his feelings we're enlisted his pen
never paused down to the last period.
His orders or rather addresses to the
students, and important correspondence,
were finished with the Ink wet on the
first lines. He never dictated, and
used the official secretary sparingly.
His favorite pen was large gold one,
of a curious model 1t was almost as
broad as it was long; it was heart shaped.
A firm in Baltimore owned the pattern.
The first pen Of this kind used by him
was accidentally injured. The writer,
at the request of General Lee, carried 1t
to Baltimore, while on a Northern trip,
and had it repaired and another made
from the original die.
The inkstand is still on the round ia
BILE. The ink is raised by atmospheric
pressure applied by SCREW. The in
structions on it directed the ink to be
lowered when not in use. He never
failed to turn the screw aud let the ink
down into the stand before leaving the
Office. One Of his secretaries noticed
his regularity in this particular.
There was a lounge in the room; but
he never was known 70 rest himself for a
moment on it. There never was pair
of slippers or robe de chambre in his
room. 1t is needless to say no cigars or
pipes we're there; he wasn't friendly to
tobacco. But once vas he known to
violate the smallest propFlety Of his po-
sition. During duh routine Of Faculty
Meeting" in warm weather, the presi-
dent dozed for a few moments. lie sat,
as usual, erect, but his eyes gently
yielded to the heat and humdrum. His
colleagues, with courtly grace, let the
business pause till the brief nap ended.
and then started with the last words the
chairman had heard. This triumph Of
Morpheus was not alluded to.

THE LATE OCEAN HORROR.

Nearly all the leading New York
papers censure Captain Williams, Of the
Inflated steamship Atlantic, and charge
him with criminal negligence, while
some hold the managers Of the White
Star Line responsible for not providing
better means for escape in case Of acct
dent. The boats we're not placed in
positions to be launched readily, and
when let down in the surging waves and
filled with tremorouS, fear-stricken pas
sengers, it was found that the plugs had
been removed from most Of them, aud 1t
was then impossible to replace them.
An awful responsibility rests somewhere,
and il lies between the officers OF the
vessel and the company. The trial Of
the culpsble parties for this wholesale
murder would not restore the hundreds
Of people who went down forever with
out an hours warning, but a few
hangings might make men hereafter

insure the public against the frequent

We have received = communication
ON this subject which may be found Of
value, as Il gives minute Instructions
upon the manner in which persons
should act in transaoting business at a
clearinghouse. The writer says;
On requesting loans from a bank, II
declined, demand a full explanation why
and wherefore, stating that alter having
all your business done for years buying
all your stamps and getting all your
bills changed) at that bank, you feel u q
severe blow to be refused a small favor.
IL still refused, call hourly aud ask as
though you lad never spoken on the
subject before. IL this does not avall,
bring your dinner TO the presidents
room and remain there all day. Faint
heart never wins, aud IL you fail at this
point you lack grit.
When your notes come due and pay
ment is requested, ask why they cant
wait, and what they intend 10 DO with
the money when they get II. II they
still persist, inquire II the bank is hard
up that they should be in such want for
money. Never pay protest fees, but say
you forgot when this note matured, and
that you never pay protest fees anyhow
You would be did FIRST.
When ysu present TO the bank DRAFT,
payable to your order, never fail 10 ex-
hibit profound surprise and fierce indig-
nation that you should be required to be
identified as the proper person to receive
the money. II the teller persists in this
eccentric request, affirm boldly how long
you have lived at No. 371 Brown street,
and how Timothy Snodgrass has known
you all his life. Stand up for your
rights like man, and never say fail
In banking money spread yourself
before the bank counter and count your
shln-plasters bottom-side up, one by one,
showing them TO the teller in sundry
parcels. Entertain him meanwhile by a
general report of your private affairs.
In this manner you rot only astonish
the bank officials with the display OF
your money, but by exercising the pa
thence of such nervous customers as
may be waiting for their turn, you ac-
comphsh apublic good.
If you wish TO get change from a bank
where you keep no account, march in as
though you were Secretary Boutwell, af-
ter bank report, slap your greenback
on the counter, cast whitening stare at
the teller, and say nothing. 1t
will be seen that you demand fves,
WEIGH you receive. Hand those back
and ask for ones and twos, and when
you get them, ask for change so that
you can get seventy-nine cents, and re-
turn the bill with one corner torn of.
When you 90 out slam the door or leave
it open, and always whistle. If on your
way from the bank your hat blows of
and you lose part Of your change, re-
turn and demand that the bank rectiiy
the mistake in counting. If demur is
made, swear to the truth of your state
ment and impeach the honesty of the
institution before all who may be pres
emit.
Banks have high notions, but show
them that you know what is what, and
don't let them fool you.

A special to the Tribune from Salt
Lake says Brigham Young formally re-
signed the position of Trustee of the
Mormon Church before an immense au-
dience in the Tabernacle yesterday,
stating that he proposed to 90 to Ari-
iona, beyond reach of the mails and
telegraphs. He has recently resigned
the Office of President Of the Deseret
National Bank, Zion Co operative Mer
camille Institution, and Utah Central and
Southern railroad. In retiring thus from
all business surrounding the vast posses
sions Of the church and leaving the Ter
ritory, he practically abdicates the
throne he has SO long occupied, and Bd-
mits his power is ended. He has made
his will, dividing his immense property
equally between his sixteen wives and
sixty children, and carefully STIMULATING
the method of the division. 1t is be-
lieved all the old MormOns will follow
the changed fortunes Of their self-de-
posed leader, and, so far as that is con.
cerned. the Mormon problem may be
considered solved.
One hundred English farmers, colon
lists, arrived yesterday per Inman Line,
en- route for Minnesota. 1t is said that
nineteen hundred more, mostly farmers,
will come before the end Of the year.

unsuccessful, and party of twenty per-
sons standing at the station mounted
the cars to see fair play two of this
relay stopped on the train, and with the
