An Insane Mans Adventure.

The Chautauaua Farmer relates the
following: SIN 1867, man aged "a
years, named Squire Holmes, wandered
from his home near Madison, Ohio, and
it was supposed at the time that he had
gone to visit friends in Steuben county,
this State. He was at times liable to fits
of insanity, and after lapse of two or
three weeks time, as no tidings of his
arrival were received, his friends visited
S5euben for the purpose of ascertaining
his whereabouts. In the search that
followed, body, supposed to be his,
but past recognition by reason of ex-
posure, was discovered near a spring,
where it was conjectured he had gone to
drink, and had died from exhaustion or
exposure. The remains were inferred,
and he was mourned as dead by his
friends and relatives. Last Thursday,
Henry House, of this place, visited our
county house and insane asylum at

Science and Scripture.

A work entitled "Notes on the Earlier
Hebrew Scripture" has just been pub
lished, the author of which is no less a
parsonage than veteran philosopher,
Sir George B. Airy the Astronomer
Royal. Generally speaking it is not
among the ranks of those who hold high
official stations that one would look for
the expression OF those rationalistic and
daring views which are SO directly antag-
onistic to what is called orthodoxy. 10
this cause, in part at least, must be at
tributed the impression make by this
book, in the course of which Sir George
Airy has approached the consideration
of the earlier Hebrew Scriptures in 8
spirit of scientific inquiry. After a
short account of Moses and his Egyp-
tian education, Sir George Airy goes on
to discuss the history of the creation.
AS to the two distinct accounts of the
creation which are given in the begin
ming of Genesis, he maintains that the
first is of Egyptian origin, while he ex-
plains the other account in the second
chapter, and also the fall, by the sup
position that they were invented or
adopted by Moses for purposes con-
nected with legislation. The explain
alton of the deluge is referred to dis
astrous food of the Nile. The most
interesting part of the book is that in
which the author vindicates the historical
accuracy of an exodus from Egypt, and
alleges that the "burning bush" and
the wonders of Mount Sinai had their
origin in the volcanic activity of that
district. The scene at Mount Sinai, the
pillar of fire by night, the cloud by day,
ETC., are said to have originated in the
ective eruption of the mountain at the
time that the IsraeIites were in its
vicinity. The striking" of the rock
by Moses is explained by the supposition
that, instead of waiting patiently, he
undertook some mechanical or engineer
ing work for obtaining water. So much
offense has this book given in clerical
circles that it has been publicly anath-
amatized from the pulpit of the authors
own parish church.-Loradoqa Times.

They Bounced Him.

Prof. Laux of Heidelberg University
took occasion to remark i'll one of his
recent lectures that the inhabitants of
modern Greece did not deserve the name
of Greeks, inasmuch as they had no ap-
probation of art, and proceeded to relate
how at national festival a Pallas Athene
on the Acropolis, sculptured by Praxi-
teles, had been wantonly shot at and in
iured. A Greek. student named Eutaxias
interrupted the professor and denied his
statements, whereupon the Senate of the
university expelled the student.

A Drunken Farm.

Often and often, while passing
through the country, we have passed
farms whose history we could read at
glance. The door-yard fence had dis
ppeared-burned up in the shiftless-
ness born of drink. The house was
implanted and battered broken panes
of glass were stopped with rags or old
hats the chimney stood in a tottering
attitude the doors swung in creaking
condition on one hinge the steps were
unsteady, like their owner everything
was dilapidated, decayed, untidy, cheer
less. A single look showed that its
owner had ira led too much at one shop
the rum shop. The spirit Of thrift
had been killed by the spirit of
the still. Fresh paint, repairs, improve
ments, good cheer and beauty for the
farmers throat. Outside matters were
the same. The barn yards we're wretch
ed stys the doors were off, the roofs
were leaky, the gates down, the carts
crazy, the tools broken. the fodder
scarce, and the stock poor and wretched.
Neglect, cruelty, wastefulness, ruin-all
had come from drink. The farm showed
the trail of the same serpent. The
struggling and tumbled stone walls, the
rickety fences, the weed-grown fields,
the sparse and half-headed crops, the
dying orchard, all said to the passer-by,
"Whisky did it." Drink had given the
plaster of mortgage instead Of a coat
ing of fertilizer sloth instead Of labor
unthrift in the place of care, and demon
alization in lieu of system. The farm
was drink-blighted, and advertised its
condition as plainly as its owner did
when he came Keeling home from the
town. One of the most impressive
temperance lectures, for young farmers,
especially, is a good look at drunken
farm. -Gol1en Ra6le.

It is strange that of all the stars we
see, Venus is the only one which is in re-
atty like the earth in size. All the
others are either very much smaller or
very much larger. Most of them--ln
fact all the stars properly so called-are
great globes of fire like our sun, and are
thousands Of times larger than the globe
we live on. A few others are like Venus
and the earth in not being true stars, but
bodies travelling round the sun and owing
all their light to him. But it so happens
that not one even of these is nearly OF
the same size as the earth they are all
either very much larger or very much
smaller. Venus is the only sister-world
the earth has, among all the orbs which
travel round the sun. There may be
others in the far off depths of space,
travelling round some ono or other OF
those suns which we call stars, but II
so, we can never know that such sister
worlds exist, for no telescope could ever
be made which would show them to us.
In the first part of this article, have
given an account of the various changes
of appearance presented by the beauti-
full star which sometimes shines as He's
perus, the star of evening, and some
times as Lucifer, the morning star. Let
us now consider what this star really is,
so far, at least, as we can learn by using
telescopes and other instruments.
Venus has, in the first place, been
measured, and we find that she is a
globe nearly as large as the earth Like
the earth, she travels round and round
the sun continually, but not in the same
time as the earth. The earth goes round
the sun once in twelve months, while
Venus goes round once in aboutseven and
a half months: so that her year, the time
in which the seasons run through their
changes, is four and half months less
than ours. If Venus has four seasons
like ours-spring, summer, autumn, and
winter-each of these seasons lasts eight
weeks. Venus also, like our earth, turns
on her axis, and so has night and day as
we have. Her day is not quite SO long
as ours, but the difference-about
twenty-five miLutes-is not very impor-
tant.-Prof. Richard Il. Proctor, IN st.
Nicholas for October.

DewittviIle, and almost the first person
that he recognized there was the long
lost and mourned- as-dead Squire Holmes,
now man 33 years of age. Holmes at
once recognized Mr.. House, who has
since written to his father, who still re-
sides at Madison, Ohio, and who will
come on to claim his unfortunate son.
It seems that Holmes started for Steuben
county. as his friends supposed, and had
proceeded as far as Dunkirk, when he
was picked up by some officer of the
law, conveyed to Dewittville, and con-
signed to the asylum, where he has since
remained"

Huxley Battering Milton to Smash

There has been nothing more ingen-
ious in the line of scientific statement
than the way in which Prof. Huxley, the
celebrated English naturalist, lodged
the secular conflict between the So called
science and popular religion, in the first
of his course of lectures on ''Evolu-
tion," delivered here last night. In ex-
pounding the various theories of mate
rial existence, he attacked, with keen
scientific argument and very subtle
sarcasm. But he attacked it not at all as
Biblical history nominally. He protest
ed that he had nothing to say about
Moses that he would lay the Book of
Genesis entirely aside and that he could
not enter into any controversy about
the meaning of chapter which had
received so many contradictory utter
pretations from it's professional ex-
Founders.
He made his attack upon the theory
of direct creation, not as the inspired
production of Moses, but as the poetical
fantasy of John Milton, who illustrated
it SO wildly in the seventh book OF
50 Paradise Lost" He spoke of 1t
throughout his lecture as. the "Mlltonic
theory - and, having done SO, he pro-
ceeded to make the most formidable and
sweeping assault upon it, as utterly IN
scientific and groundless, that even he
has ever yet made. Millions account OF
the creation is but the Mosaic account,
with poetic adornments !; but Huxley fell
upon it as Miltonic, and delivered his
rasping arguments against it without
regard to its real origin. -Neo0 YORK

The Remarkable Career of the English
Statesman.
[From the London Examiner.l


TFrom the London Examiner.
What the Germans would call the cen
trail idea in the widespread wonder which
Mr.. Disraeli's career has excited mas
been expatiated on so often and at such
length that it has become almost too
familiar TO be any longer wonderful. we
must make the effort of putting ourselves
back thirty or forty years, and recall the
ridicule with which the pretenslons OF
the fashionable novelist were received
when he first engaged In politics, II we
would estimate at its true value what he
has achieved. He forced his way into
the ranks of the most exclusive arlsto-
cracy In the world, he patiently bore
their rebuffs, he made himself essential
to them he became their political leader,
and he persuaded them to reverse the
policy which they had pursued for more
than thirty years, and to which they were
committed by all their prejudices.
The most wonderful part OF 1t all is
that he plainly announced beforehand
what he was going to do. He deiber-
ately spread the net in sight Of the bird,
and then persuaded the bird to walk In.
It is an altogether unparalleled achieve
ment, although his generation Is pretty
nearly talked and written out OF the
wonder of it. His forcible appropriation
of the confidence, or at least the ALE
glance, of the Tory party is even more
astonishing than his acquisition OF some
thing like the personal affection OF the
mass of the people. 1t is wonderful, no
doubt, that man who made an open
profession of what our grandfathers
would have called political profligacy,
who ostentatiously proclaimed himself q
party man, and worked for his party
with an abnegation of personal convic-
tions which we had been accustomed to
associate with the name of Jesuitism,
should ever have become personally
popular in England, much more so than
a rival who is supposed to take his con
science as the rule of his conduct. That
may be because we are less earnest than
our grandfathers or it may be because
anecdotes of Mr.. Disraeli's domestic
virtues and generous kindness in private
life produced an impression that he was
better at heart than he professed to be,
and that his cynicism was really the out
come of hatred for can't or it may be
that, being a sober people, we forgive
everything to anybody who relieves our
dullness.
A hundred plausible reasons could be
given for Mr.. Disraeli's personal popu-
larity. But his conquest of the Tory
party is more marvellous and inexplic-
able. Perhaps, if the truth were known,
it would be less creditable to the Tory
party than to Mr.. Disraeli. This at least
lies upon the surface, that he has fought
his way to the head of the party of acres
and money bags with an audacity which
would before have been pronounced
superhuman. His motto through life
has been that of Danton. ''De PGo-
doce, encore de pGudace, ct toujOurS de
tGudace." Disasters which would have
extinguished another man seem only to
have steeled his pertiracity.

Death of a Strong Man.

DR.. Geo. B. Winship died in Boston
last week. he was noted for his ardent
belief in muscular exertion. He had the
arms and shoulders of Hercules, being
otherwise somewhat dlminutive. He
once lifted a weight of 5000 pounds,
and then, proceeding to lecture on his
hobby, tainted. The moralist will OBJ
serve that after great amount of train
ing he has died at the age Of 40.
