Inc easiest and, apparently, the most logic
al explanation OF the causes which have
brought about these results is that there is
NOT MONEY ENOUGH IN THE COUNTRY.
But this explanation win not bear scrutiny.
While railroad bonds bearing seven per cent
are going way down Chicago and North
western to eighty cents, Jersey Centrals to
my cents, and SO on-the best securities
win governments at the head, are going up,
anu the subscriptions TO the new four per
cent loan are far in excess of the most SAN
guihe expectations of the Secretary.
Ii Is not lack of money that naralvzas husi-
ree' anu wrecks prosperity, but want of con-
nuence' Ihere is money enough, but it is in
uae hands OF the rich and lucky few and thew
wiz not let go OF it except to invest in govern
ments or in a few pet railroad securities like
Morris and Essex or New York Central bonds
and there is no telling when these last NAV
tumble with the rest. The trouble lies daennr
than mere scarcity Of currency.
THE MASS OF THE COMMUNITY Re IN ,,pnD
to a few individuals, and the individuals own
both the obligations of the community and
the money wherewith alone the debts NAV be
discharged. Meanwhile the community has
well nigh ceased to earn money, by reason Of
the stoppage of industry.

COMMERCIAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Our people are working very hard to
construct railroad that will connect
Texas with Louisiana and New Orleans.
The work of removing the distractions
at the mouth Of the river and deepening
the channel by the jetty system is, in
the opinion of most OF our people, a sue
cess, and these two improvements will
greatly add to the wealth and prosper
fly of the city. and will recover the bust
ness that justly belongs to New Orleans,
and never would have gone elsewhere
had it not been for the lack Of facilities
of communication. The people of the
city and State have made up their minds
that the road will be a success, and
there is no doubt about its being built.
That being done, nothing can check
New Orleans nor prevent it from be-
coming one or the greatest cities in the
IJnion. The completion of the works at
the mouth of the river will give us
great deal of business from the Missis-
sippi valley. We have lost a great
deal Of that on account of
the Instructions in the mouth OF the
river, but we are now, by. that system
of jetties, narrowing and deepening the
channel, until now there is free passage
for vessels drawing twenty-five feet OF
water. Years and years have passed
since we have tried, and since the gov
eminent has tried, to dredge the mouth
of that river and keep it open, and up
to now nothing seems to have proven a
success until the jetties were started.
Now we have pretty fair channel and

The Origin of the Telescope.

With reference to Galileo's claim
to be the inventor Of the telescope,
NJ. Wolf quotes (Annalen der
Physik und Chemie) from a manu-
script of Scheiner (1616) in a library
in Zurich, a curious passage, Of
which the following is part: at
must be allowed, first, considering
what the telescope does, that Bap-
tista Porta has better right to be
thought the inventor, because he
describes, after his own way, in
obscure words and puzzling express
sions an instrument like the tele-
scope. But, secondly, if we speak
of the telescope, as it is now used
after general perfection, we must
say that neither Porta nor Galileo
is the first discoverer of it, but the
telescope in this sense was dis
covered in Germany, among the
Belgians, and that accidentally, by
one Kramer, who sold spectacles,
and either for amusement or ex-
perimentation, combined concave
and convex glasses, so that with
glasses he could see n quite small

CHAPTER III.
The prince was wandering
through the woods of Senegambia,
gaily singing,
would be butterfly,
Born in bower,
when his eyes fell upon a lovely
chimpanzee sitting in a shallow
brook sucking a cocoanut. She was
the loveliest creature he had ever
seen. His heart was touched at
once. He raised his eyeglass and
stared at her till her eyes fell in
modest confusion.
"Fair chimpanzee," said he, "will
not-not-aw-tell me your--aw-
name ?"
Adeliza," whispered she.
The Duchess de Chimpanzee, who
had witnessed the meeting from
behind a clump of bushes, chuckled,
and slid off on her left ear.
Adeliza," sighed the prince,
"thou art-aw-beautiful. Wilt
thou-aw-marry me ?"
The Lady Adeliza threw the re-
mains of her cocoanut at the head
of a chimpanzee who was loa6ng
in neighboring tree, fell into the
arms of the prince, and gently
murmured 81 am thine"
They weremarried in great splen
dor. The Right Rev. Bishop Ba.
boon, assisted by Rev. Simiadei
Ape, performed the ceremony. The
bridesmaids wore their natura
clothes. The choir sang the lovely
anthem, Monkey Married thu

her parents rubbed noses, and ther
the bride started on her tour on al
elephant with one trunk.

A Visit 10 the Home of the EvangeI-
list

A writer in one of the magazines
says:
Mortified is one of the most
beautiful of the Connecticut valley
towns. Back of it, on the east, are
the Mortified mountains; very
beautiful now with the changing
foliage. On the west, a gradual
descent from the high level on
which the village is built to the
meadows, which are without fences,
and beautiful in all seasons, and
which extend to the river. The
main street Of Mortified, which
runs north and south, parallel with
the river, is over a mile long, and
over a hundred feet wide, not
counting the door-yards opposite
almost every house. 1t has four
rows of large oak, maple and elm
trees, which give it finely shaded
walks. The population of the town
is composed principally of intelli-
gent, well-to-do or wealthy farmers.
1t has two churches, Congrega-
tional and Unitarian. The house
of D. L. Moody is about half a
mile above the village, joining the
old homestead where he was born,
and where his mother and brother
now reside. 1t is a plain, substan.
tial, white wooden farmhouse, in
good order, with one large room fol
meetings" 1t stands on one OF
the most beautiful spots imaginable,
overlooking, towards the north,
several miles of valley and river
with mountains east, west and
north. Mr.. Moody has two horse;
"a farm-horse and the celebrated
other horse reported in the papers
last winter to have cost several
thousands of dollars, but which
really cost something over two hun
dred. 1t is a good family horse, as

several times. He has some cattle
and pigs, aIvery valuable heifer pre-.

and distant object large and near;
at which success being rejoiced, he
united several similar pairs of
glasses in a tube, and offered the
combination at a high price to
wealthy people. Thereafter they
(the telescopes) became gradually
more common among the people,
and spread to other countries. In
this way two of them were brought
for the first time bya Belgian mer-
chant to Italy; Of these, one re-
mained long in the college at Rome;
the other went first to Venice, later
to Naples; and here the Italians,
and especially Calico, at that time
professor of mathematics in Padua,
took the opportunity of improving
it, in order to apply it to astronom-
ical purposes, and extend its use
further. Thus the telescope as we
have it to-day, was discovered by
Germany and perfected by Italy
the whole world now rejoices in it."

In his domestic affairs Prussian
Field Marshal Won Wrangel, who
died the other day over ninety years
of age, showed the same iron cour-
age and the same notions Of. honor
which marked his military career,
and it is said that when his only
son, who was a subordinate officer
in the army, was implicated in some
misdemeanor, the general paid
whatever money forfeit the lad had
incurred, and then, handing him a
pistol, said tersely; "For a Prus-
sian officer who has disgraced him
self there is no way but this" Obe-
dient to the suggestion, young
Wrangel put the muzzle of the
weapon to his head and blew his
brains out before his fathers eyes.
The general witnessed the deed out
wardly unmoved, and never men
toned the offenders name again.

"THE ORIGIN OF MANI
BY DARWIN.

Twas a lovely summer morning
in the year s001 before Christ. The
woods of Senegambia were clothed
in the fairest costume, the lovely
birds were chirping and singing
their morning lays; the sky was
one vast sheet of blue-everJthing
in short was full of sweetness and
light, except the lovely Lady
Adeliza de Chimpanzee. She was
in the dumps. Moodily she rub
bed her shoulders against huge
palm tree, and while performing
this act heaved vast sigh. Just
at that moment her mamma drop
ped from the tree above her.
"My daughter" said the Duchess
Of Chimpanzee, "why that sigh"
"Ah, mamma, look at me-" said
Lady Adeliza. "See how different
| am from the rest of our tribe.
See how white | am becoming"
"My daughter" said the duchess
languidly, as she seated herself on a
convenient boulder, ''you should be
proud of the difference. It's a dis.
tinction. We are a higher race"
81 don't know, mamma. See
what little caudal appendages we
have. All the other folks can hang
from the trees by their tails, but we
are compelled to sit on the limbs.
"We are advancing, my dear.
You are wbiter than l am. You
can talk in your youth; Icould not
until middle age. Your grand
mother, as you know, can only
grunt. You are moving to higher
sphere"
"Well, mamma, none of our
folks will marry me-" said Lady
Adeliza, pouting.
"No, my child; it has been de-
creed that there should be selec-
tion Of the fittest in marriage. We
have offered you to the Prince
dOrang Outang, who is even whittier
than you are, as his wife,
"0h, mamma" gushed the lady
Adeliza, "that'S splendid. Will
he come soon?"
Restrain yourself. People of
high blood and short caudal ap-
pendages never get excited. He
will be here in a short time"
Lady Adeliza went away to look
for cocoanuts, and the duchess sat
on a rock, and rehectively scratched
her head.
CHAPTER II.
The Duke de Chimpanzee was
chief of very large tribe. If he
had been in the show business he
would have made an everlasting
fortune. He had but one daugh-
ter, the Lady Adeliza, and as she
would inherit the live stock over
which he ruled, youths of the
neighboring tribes desired to marry
her. Her parents, however, de.
sired that she should be, if posi-
bic, the fountain Of a new race, TO
which all their traditions told them
they were working up. They de-
termined that she should marry
the Prince d'0rang Outang. The
duke proposed the matter to the
prince,
"Awl" said the prince as he ad-
| justed his eyeglass; "is it nice?"
"She is beautiful" said the
duke.
@Aw!" said the prince; "give
it much stamps?"

replied the duke.
"I will-aw--step down, and
aw - look at it," murmured the
prince carelessly. "By surprise,
you know"
This was agreed upon, and the
duke departed.
The prince knew his worth. He
was quite white, and was not trOu-
bled with the slightest particle Of
caudal appendage; but Ethiopia
was big prize, and he resolved to
win it. One week after tho duke
had offered his daughter, the prince
