now BEAUTIFUL Is REFORM.

An Eastern exchange learns that John
Sherman has ordered the removal of som
OF the most efficient and reliable clerks in
the Treasury and its branches at Washing
ton, for refusing TO pay the arbitrary
assessments ON their salaries, made by the
Congressional Republican Committee, OF
which Eugene Hale and George c. Gorham,
Secretary of the Senate, are the shining
lights. OF course, other pretexts will be
assigned for these official decapitations, but
the fact cannot be disputed, that in every
instance the reason stated is the true and
only one. The collector goes through the
departments with an air of authority to
enforce the voluntary contribution and
whoever declines to subscribe is reported
to John Sherman or his assistant, J. b.
Hawley, and the dismissal follows without
a hearing.
The response to the first call Of the COM
mlttee for money was less satisfactory than
had been anticipated by the managers OF
the campaign. A second and more pointed
demand has now been sent to every office
holder, and to emphasize the approval OF
the Fraudulent Administration Sherman
has directed these removals to be made,
as a warning to others who hesitate about
submitting to this extortion. Hayes, the
heads of departments, the bureau chiefs,
and all others whose example and influence
are likely to operate on the subordinates,
nave made subscriptions to this political
fund, precisely as was lone by Grant,
Chandler, Fish, Robson, M company,
with the exception that the latter set made
no pretence of being reformers, and con
sidered partisan assessments a regular mat
ter of official routine. They were reckless
and venal, but they were not hypocrites.

dir: "LITTLE BROWN JUG."
Obi for jug that can paint, p.
Majohca, Faience, old and quaint.
To decorate jugs the livelong day
Is quite too awfully nice, they say.
Chorus: Hal ha! ha! Decalcomanie;
Little brown Jug I'll decorate thee.
Lovely jug! Ha! ha! hal 3
Dear little jug of Maiolica. -Hf' y
Fascinating jar of Kaolin,
To break you, dear, would be a sin;
To decorate You long have ached,
And in g." muffle" to have you baked.
Chorus: Ha! ha! ha! you and me,
Porcelain jar, oh love thee;
Cunning little jug, ha !ha! hal
Sweet little, fascinating Kaolin jar
If had a lore that would give to me
Porcelain, Majolica and Potterie,
I'd spoon" him in the gisshingest way,
And kiss him o million timeSa day.
Chorus: Ha ha ! ha! wouldn't hug,
If he'd give to me Majolica jug?
Majolica jug, he! he! he!
Little brown jug. oh. love thee.

ipApenee. which has produced, these ef-
fects has emanated from within the or
ganism, and has been an essential fea-
ture in.its life and growth. :, External

may question the adequacy of the agen-
cies he invokes to produce the effects he
claims for them. There are many facts
which it is impossible with our present
lights to reconcile with his theory.
will present some of the difficulties
which, up to the present time, have
prevented me from accepting, in all its
length and breadth, Darwinism as the
theory of the universe, and have COM
PEELED me to hold the law of evolution,
not as creed, but as a conviction.
There is first, the breaks in the chain of
life, which till they are filled forbid the
cautious scientist to accept as demon
strated the derivation of the latter forms,
in all cases, from the earlier. Professor
Huxley explains the persistent types of
| life by saying that if the spontaneous
variation of species does not give
it an advantageous form or struc-
ture, that vaviety has not been
perpetuated, or no profitable va
ration has been hit upon. To my
mind, this explanation is inadequate,
because | can not conceive that highly
organized animal with complicated
structure like the nautilus should pass
through all the revolutions of the globe
without being more affected than it has
been by external circumstance, unless
the life that inspired it was more potent
than all surroundings, and gave it indie
pendence of circumstance. The Latin
proverb says, g They change their skies,
but not their souls, who cross the sea-"
/ That external circumstances alone could
produce such symmetrical and con-
tinuous development of organic forms,
is something that, with our present
knowledge, seems to me highly improb-
able. Geology, up to the present time,
has not word to say on the origin of
man. The theory that we are descend
ed from apes is speculation INDUCED
in by biologists, and based on anatom-
ical resemblances in the living animals.
No ape-like man has been found fossil,
nor any -man-like ape. Remains of
monkeys and of savage types of men
have been found; but even the Mean
derthal skull was of the average capaci-
ty, and, as Huxley says, might have
contained the brain of philosopher.
No geologist processes to have proved
any thing like a connecting link be-
tween man and apes, and till such shall
be discovered, geology must be, as I am
tonight, silent on that topic.

OUR SILENT FRIENDS.

Oh not to alien skies and far off spheres
We render our beloved! They do not go
From us In going to God, we surely know.
What if they make no answer to our tears!
q Is not Hesilent to us all our .years2 s. .@S
And yet his arms are round US in our woe;
So they who share with himN the, power to
bless
Must share his nearness and his silentness
Perhaps they softly say of US. !" The dead?'
OF rs who dwell and dream among the
tombs,
q Nor ever see how short way o'erhead
Eternal light enfolds our fleeing gloOms.
Nor ever heed the voice from heaven that
saith
"They are the dead, who yet believe in death .

The Peacock Hall of Delhi.

The next building is the g Hall of
Audience, % and is SO beautiful. in ? de-
sign that shallsnot attempt a descrip-
ton, but, rather, quote from Beresfordss
Debit: d" Peculiarly set apart for the
reception of nobility is quadrangle Of
moderate dimensions. The building is
a very beautiful pavilion of white mar
Bile, supported on massive pillars of the
same material ] the who1cof which, with
the connecting arches, is richly orna-
mented-with. flowers of inlaid- MOSAIC
work Of different 4colored stones and
gliding. 1t is raised on terrace four
feet high, the floor of which is composed
of flags Of white marble. Between each
of the front row of pillars is a balus-
trade of marble, chastely carved in sew
eral designs of perforated work. The
top of the building is ornamented with
four marble pavilions with gilt cupolas.
The ceiling of the pavilion was origi-
nally completely covered with fligree
work, % but in 1899 the Mahrattas, after a
capture Of the city, took the silver down
and melted it, the value of the same be-
ing estimated at nearly million dol
lars. "In the cornice at each end of
the interior hall is sculptured in letters
of gold, in the Persian language: IF
! there is a paradise on earth, it is this ~
g In this hall was the famous peacock
throne, so called from its having the
figures Of two peacocks standing be-
hind it, their tails being expand
ed, and the whole so inlaid with
sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls, and
ether precious stones of appropriate
colors, as to represent life The throne
itself is six feet long by four feet broad.
1t stoodon six massive feet, which, with
the body, were of solid gold, inlaid with
rubies, emeralds, and diamonds. 1t was
surmounted by a canopy of gold, sup
ported by twelve pillars, all richly en-
blazoned witt costly gems, and fringe
OF pearls ,ornamented the borders of the
canopy. Between the two peacocks
stood the figure of a parrot, Of the ordi-
nary size, said to have been carved out
of a single emerald On either side of
the throne stood a chatta, or umbrella,
one of the Oriental emblems of royalty.
They were made of crimson velvet,
richly embroidered and fringed with
pearls. The handles were eight feet
long, of solid gold, and studded with
diamonds. The cost of this superb
work OF art has been yariously stated at
sums varying from II ,0O0, 900 to Co.
600, 900. 1t was planned and executed
under the supervision of the same Aus
tin de Bourdeaux y -....,,. -
The peacock throne, with nearly all
the. treasures in the city, were taken
away by Persian conqueror, in 1889.
An American mind can scarcely realize
such boundless extravaganza, but nay
Indian experience has caused me to
look with cool Indifference upon rows
and strings of jewels that would excite
my lady friends to frantic pitch of adj
miration.-Cor. Worcester Spa.

Thorough Farming.

From close observation we have come
to the conclusion that there are COM
paratiyely few men capable of cultivat
ing eighty acres of land until every acre
is made to do its best, and by far the
largest number would make more mon
ey if they were limited to half that
amount. No good farmer can afford to
buy fertilizers while he has unused barn
yard manure, or has failed to make
proper use of the poultry droppings, or
allow his barn-yard to overflow where
it is not needed. 1t is far more profit
able to gather sods or swamp earth,
and compost it with suitable manure,
than to buy bone dust or guano. 1t is
always profitable to mingle with all
manures just as much muck, leaves
or sods, o. surface soil, as can be
added without stopping fermentation
No lime or ashes should be added to the
heap, as they set at liberty the ammonia,
and it is wasted. Rather mix these with
muck or sods, by themselves, or scatter
directly upon the soil where needed.
After all these are looked after, and the
compost heap. in every possible way,
from home supplies, it will pay usually
to buy in addition. But there is one
point often overlooked, or misunder-
stood, and that is, the value OF the
manure heap does not consist in the
number of animals kept, but in the
amount and quality of the food. If we
have 10 tons Of hay and 200 bushels of
corn, it will be no more profitable to

FIFTY YEARS A PRIEST.
Father Weninger,s Golden Jubilee.

A most interesting religious event oc
csrred yesterday at st. Xavier Church, the
day being the tftieth anniversary of Rev. f.
X Weningers ordination to the priest
hood. Long before the appointed time for
services, 10 a. M, the large church was
crowded to its utmost capacity
Grand High Mass was led by Father Wen
niger himself, with Vicar General P. Otto
Jair, O. s. F., as deacon of honor; DR..
Hecht, of the Seminary, deacon, and Father
Feldman, sub-deacon. Father Kennedy
and Mr.. Sebastian acted as masters of cere-
monies There were also present DR.. Par
bish, Father O'Niel of Missouri; f. AL
brinck, Of Holy Trinity Church; Father
Ferneding of st. Paul's P. Lucas, O. S. B.,
and the Jesuit Fathers Dillieuw, Chambers
and Sollumiere.
The mass was not one of Schuberts as
advertised, but an original one composed
for the occasion by Prof. Herman Gerold.
An orchestra of fifty pieces and a chorus of
over one hundred voices rendered it, with
Mr.. Gerold as director.
The solo singer was Mrs. Gerold; alto,
Miss Cecilia Gerold tenor, Adolph Pitton
basso, Mr.. Rogers. The entire mass was
successfully and artistically rendered
During the offertory pastoral composed
by Father Weninger was rendered, and after
the mass his Regina Cnli. The mass was
preceded by the overture, "This is the Day
of the Lord" and was followed by Jubilee
march by Prof Gerold.
The jubilee sermon was delivered by
Father Higgins, President of St. Xavier's
College. 1t was an eloquent eulogy on the
priestly office.
At 1880 the jubilee services were again
resumed. The church, as in the morning,
was crowded to its utmost capacity. In
addition to the priests who were
present in the morning were Father
lIbald of ST. Francis Church, Father Meyer
and Father Joining of Mount Pleasant.
Father OF Jair and DR.. Hecht asss ed in
the services. Father Weninger spoke at
some length and the Te Deum was sung.
Father Weninger was born October 31st,
1905, at Wildehaus, his ia hers castle, near
Marburg, Austria and is now almost
seventv-three years old. Yesterdays ova-
tion was a deserved one to the venerable
prelate.
