Art and Religion.

Bear us witness, ye poets and actors, ye-
painters and sculptors, ye singers and
players upon instruments, that your arts
have not saved the most of you from be-
coming petty and selfish men and women.
You are jealous OF one another. You are
greedy Of praise and the gold it brings.
You know that there is nothing in your
art that enlargss and libcrates you, that
restraints you from drunkenness and vices
that shall not be ma med, that gives you
sobriety and solidity of character, that en-
larges your social sympathies, that natur-
ally leads you into organizations for help
ing others outside Of your own circle.
Bear US witness, that you are not the men
and women who are relied on for per-
forming the duties of society. If we were
all like yoa,-if all were controlled Ky
the ideas that dominate you,-if. all
shirked the duties of social and civil life
like yOu,-if all were as much untitled bv
their ideas and their emplOyments as you
are for carrying the great burdens of So
ciety, what do you suppose would become
of the country, and what would become
of the world2
Now if there is anything in art that can
take the place of religion, we should like
to see it. II there is anything in culture
that can take the place Of religion, it has
not yet revealed itself. Culture is CEN
tered in self. Self is the god and self is
the model of all culture Why should it
not ultimate in sclfishness? Culture as
sumes that wnat is present in a man
needs only to be developed and harmon
lied to lift character to its highest point.
and life to its highest issues. It carries
mo- idea of self-surrender, which Is the
first fact in practical religion of any val
liable sort, and the first fact in all good
development. Greece and Rome had
plenty Of culture, and are still our teach
ers in art, but the beauty that looked upon
them from every hill and gate and temple
could NOT save them from their vices.
By and by, culture will learn how power
less it is to make man that shall be
worth the making, and what poor lnstru-
ments science and art are for uprooting
the sel6shness that rules the world. 1t
IS slowly learning this, and men who
have bowed lew to her have been touched
with that divine discomfort which moth
ing but religion can allay.--Dr. j. G.
Holland; Scribner for July.

The chicago Inter- Ocean publishes an
article containing startling facts regarding
abuses Of the pardoning power in that State.
The records of the penitentiary show that 314
murderels have been sent to Jolie in twenty
years, Of which ninty five were for life, twen-
ty.fve for twenty five years, and upwards as
high rs thirty-four years, twenty y-three from
tsenty to twenty-five years, and the balance
for less terms. Over fifty of the life men
have been pardoned by different Governors,
and large number Of others, amounting to
100 in all. The total number of murderers
now at large in the State who were tried and
sentenced since 1858 is 1e2. Twenty three
have died or gone to the insane asylum.
These figures indicate Wholesale system of
pardo1ing, Is the average time for murder
er sentenced to the Illinois penitentiary thus
appears to be three years and six months.

Reports from st. Louis to the 10th in st,
indicate slight abatment in the heat, the
number of sunstroke, and the fatal cases.
The thermometer ranged as high Is 100. The
telegram says: The cases Of sunstroke have
also decreased, there having been but twen-
ty-two at the city dispensary up to 6 O'Clock
this, evening, aud but four deaths. The
scenes there, however, have been Of the same
general character as heretofore, and the four
ply sicians and their assistants In attendance
have been kept very busy administering TO-
the wants of those taken there for treatment.
The general mode Of treating the cases is
all to the head, ice water showers, rubbing
the body with ice and administering such
medicines as the different cases demand.
The whole number Of burial permits issued
today is forty y-nine, Of which twenty eight
were for persons whose death was caused b.
heat. This is but trihe over one-half of the
death rate yesterday. The heat this after
noon was more moderate, and tonight there
is Ane breeze which has cooled the atmos-
phere considerably. The whole number of
cases treated at the dispensary to-day is
about thirty, Of which only one died at the
dispensary, but of those sent to the hospital
two will probably die. About 9 O'Clock to-
night Drs. Cook and Rogers, practicing
physicians Of the city, were prostrated by
heat and taken to the dispensary
where they were successfully treated.
There was general suspension of mechanical
and manufacturing labor.

gave on the former trial. At that time he tes.
titled that in an interview with Porter, he saw
treason In Porter's eye, and his description Of
Porter's manner which went to the point Of
giving dishonorable motive for Porter's act
Now he admits that when he thus swors
away Porter's honor he did not mean that he
believed him traitor, but he was himself Ia
boring under excitement, because Pope snub-

A London telegram of July 18th says {:
The canvassing in Germany for elections for
members Of the Reichstag to take place on
he 30th, is quite heated, and the struggle will
be severe, especially in the larger towns
where daily meetings are held. 1t seems i'm
probable Bismarck will be strong enough in
the new parliament to dispense with the
assistance Of the national liberals, on whom
he has heretofore been entirely dependent.

A San Francisco dispatch Of July 18th
says: A La Grandy, Oregon, dispatch says
the hostiles turned yesterday and are now re-
turning back on the trail by which they came.
The cavalry, under Col. Forsythe, is close on
the trail. A Baker City dispatch says. The
Umatilla Indians under Forsythe struck the
hostile camp last night about two and half
miles from Starke's rancho, killing seventeen
warriors, capturing twenty-five women and
children and sixty or seventy head of horses.
The hostiles are much demoralized, and the
captured squaws reported that they are
breaking into small bands with the evident
intention Of fleeing to Weiser and making
their way to the Bannock or Buffalo country.

The heat of last week will work an
era in atmospheric chronicles. The intensity
OF the suns rays prevailed al. over the country,
producing discomfort, distress and death.
But cold wave spread over the country Sat-
urday and Sunday mitigating to a great de-
gree the consuming, and prostrating heat
that had prevailed. City and country have
suffered as never before, and the death record
is something frightful. Though all the cities
had suffered to very great extent. yet st.
Louis, in its death record, exceeds them all,
there having been over 1874 deaths traceable
directly to the heat. But the worstis now be-
lievcd to be over, and though there will yet
be warm days, there will be but little if any
more fatality from sunstrokes.
