soon perish or degenerate, every
child born in their now quarters
being stuntcd in physical and mental growth
by the fever which attacks 1t in tho cradle.
Thus, in short space Of time, two hundred
Bornueso living in Sierra Leone have been
reduced to thirty. 1t naturally follows that
all tho dcnizcns Of the lowands, from Scnc-
gal to Lagos, are under the heel OF the moro
hardy upland races. II Is sufficiently well
known, since Sir GARNET WoLsFLEY's cam
paign, how far the tribes OF the Gold Coast
can cope with the Ashantccs In intelligence,
enterprise, and energy. Under these circum-
stances, unless missionary and colonization
societies mean to continue the wel-nigh
fruitcss sacrifices OF life and money which
have gone on during the last fifty years, it
would seem judicious to transfer their opcr-
ations u the hcalthful regions Of tho in
terror
Another obstacle to tho success Of African
missions is the excessive depreciation Of the
native intellect and character which prevails
in the minds Of our missionaries; and a COM
parison Of Christian and Moslcm propagan-
dsts in this regard is not crcditablc to the
former. On this point we need not at present
dwell, but we may cite one significant fact;
Mr.. BLYDEN accompanied Gov. PorE HEN
Messy in n visit to II Mohammedan village,
where they saw and examined number Of
native students, who could rccitc the whole
Koran by heart, whereas they had never
met Christian ncophytc who could repeat
n single chapter of the Bible. Its doubtless
owing to an unreasonable contempt for the
capacities of the African race that so many
missionaries incline to slight the busi-
ness Of tuition, and to ignore its relation to
conversion. They might do we'll to heed the
monition of Pope INNOCENT III. 10 the first
apostles in heather Prussia-to provide new
bottles for the new winc and the shrcwd
hint Of the Moravian Brethren, that the
catcchumcn shouldhc taught to count as far
rs "thrcc' before his Introduction to the
doctrine Of the Trinity.

ceeod, Mr.. Tr1DEN would now he occupying
tho White House. while Mr.. HAYES would
still be drinking buttcrmilk In the interior OF
Ohio. II was the defects OF the present sys-
tenn and the opportunities IL affords for Chi
cano and fraud, that enabled MORTON and
his fellow conspirators to cheat the nation
out Of its rlghtful President, and to cheat
tho rightful President out VI tho Office to
which he was elected.
But why does Senator MORTON now turn
against the system which served his pur-
poses so admirably not six months ago lIo
worked as hard as anybody to turn the inn
PROJECTIONS OF that system to dishonest ac-
count Has he reason to be dissatisfied with
the result Of his lahors The man whom he
jugglcd into Office has given the cold shout
der to the principles for which MORTON and
the Republican party have been battling for
years. He has abandoned tho colored Re-
publicqns Of the South, and has struck hands
with tho whitc-inc leaders whom MORTON
has always hated and fought bitterly. Is
this why MOTIONS eyes are suddenly opened
TO the defects and dangers OF the present
electoral system or Ia it because he is con-
science smittcn now that he has come TO

and OF ChAuDrus; and according to plans
collected by Sir JOHN RESN1E, the retreat Of
tho Mediterranean at this point Is at the
ratio Of two yards per annum. So, too,
tho action OF tho river that drains
tho great Lombardo-Venetan basin pos
sesses an Importance not only from
historic associations, but from engineer
ing considerations, scarcely Inferior TO
that Of the Nile itself. While Venice itself,
however may be said, from n geological
point OF view, to stand on the delta forma-
ton OF the Pc, IL Is the action OF the Brcnta
which is now filling her lagoons, and threat
cning to transform the most picturesque OF
scapOrts into an inland town. 1t appears
that the waters Of the Brcnta, which are full
Of solid material, were formerly diverted
into canal furnished with sluccs, and by
this means the sitting up Of the lagoon was
for long time reduced to minimum. But
in 1910 the Austrian engineers turned the
river into the lagoon, and the result has
been that tho entire bed Of the latter has
been warped up nearly yard, while the
delta has advanced about four mil ~, and Is
now within less than two Of Chlogsia.
Even in its present condition, the port OF
Venice has no such mcnacing Toe to dread as
exists In the ease of Port Said, the northern
terminus Of the Sucz Canal Here strong
littoral current sweeps toward the head of
the Lcvaut. bearing with it 80 much Of the
Nile deposits a. are not now disposed Of in

and we may say that the whole Egyptian
Delta has been formed within historical
times, since there seems to ho little doubt
that the ancient city Of Memphis, opposite
Cairo, was maritime town at the time Of
its founding. Indeed the meaning Of its
name has been illustrated by tn" modern
appcllativcs Of Havrc lie Grace and Porto
| Bclo 1t Is the marvellous action Of the
Egyptian river almost paraliclcd by that Of
the 20 and Rhonn, which forces upon en-
ginccrs the conviction that a conversion Of

labor" does not bring riches to the perform
or OF It. Doubtless this Is so; and the man
who undertakes it with the idea Of making
q fortune out Of such work, Is foolish and
ignorant Of the history Of literature. 1Io
must look for other compcnsatlons than
wealth, and II he deserves them, he will not
fail TO get his desert. Mr.. TAYLOR says
his translation of Faust" brought him in
scarcely as much az fOrtnght's lecturing.
That Is not surprising, for such work never
pays much in money. 1t was probably labor
to which he was spurrcd on by ambition 1t
reached the class, limited in all countries,
who arc capable Of approaching such pro-
dlction, and it was put in its proper place.
Mr.. TAYLOR. who seems to be in a mood Of
deep gloom, complains that authors are
bored with requests for their opinions re-
garding the work of ambitious beginners in
literature. According TO him, they give him
no rest, and take off his attention from his
own labOr5. This is certainly very incOn-
sidcratc of them, and his true course Is to
tell them so frankly, and refuse to crafty
them, unless he feels 1t his duty TO assist
fellow worker. No man should allow him
self to be imposed on. and advice, even IL
good, Is never sure TO be- taken.
We cannot share Mr.. TAYLoRs dcspond-
cncy concerning our literature. II seems to
hc in a pretty healthy state, though there is
plenty Of swash around, especially in JAY
GouLD's Tribune.
