TIE Repository errs in saying General
Wiley ordered soldiers to the guard
house for shouting for Brough in 1868.
OF course it is lie, to help the "hot cof-
fee" soldier. Wiley, as an officer, never
hesitated to do his duty. The history Of
the war proves this, where he has hon
orable mention. not as mere "hot Cof-
fee" fellow.

Mr. MURRAY's VISION OF A New ENGLAND
CHURCH.-Rev. w. IL. II. Murray began to
tell his New England church people at Boston,
Sunday. about that 5000, OOO church which
he proposes to build for that society, but he
secceeded in only giving part of his plan and
will finish it up next Sunday. He proposes
to have 400 persons give $500 each for the
erection of "A stone editice, which shall seat
5000 people and have platform large enough
for one thousand singers, and the best organ
that can be built. These 400 donors are TO
have their names carved in the building as
the founders of the enterprise. and they are
TO choose from themselves eleven trustees TO
manage everSthing pertaining to the church.
The governor of Massachusetts, is to be, by
virtue of his office, the twelfth member and
the chairman of this governing board, five of
the eleven are to be from Boston and the re-
naming six are to represent the New Eng
land States. These trustees are to hold Office
for life and are to be a self-perpetuating body,
filling by their own action vacancies caused
by death or resignation. Mr.. Murray de
clines to permit the enterprise TO be governed
congregationally and thinks that twelve per-
sons can be more safely trusted to do the best
and wisest thing than twelve hundred The
church is to have no special local parish and
is not to belong to any denomination, and its
membership is to come from every city and
village and hamlet on the face of the earth.
This plan is substantially the same that Mr..
Murray has several times before advocated
through his paper of having in large centers
of population and influence one large, unde-
nominational Christian church enterprise, and
now that he has taken it up in earnest there
will be no little interest TO see whether he has
correctly interpreted the religious signs of
the times rs indicating that now is the time to
call for the 500, 600 which is the first sine
gua nan of the practical success of the move
ment which he has thus idealized and out
lined

PowER OF THE GLACIERS. In North Amer
lea, and especially throughout the North
eru States the boulders are numerous, often
Of great size, and indicating trausits of many
miles Over the Eastern, Middle and North
western States boulders that have emigrated
from distant points to the northward, occur
in such abundance that they may almost any
where be found, if the inquirer will only cx-
anime the country he passes over. Upon Mt.
Katahdin, in the Moosehead region Of Maine,
stones can be seen, lying over 1000 feet above
the sea, fossiliferous in their nature. and
coming from northern sites while toward
Mt Desert, masses some forty to fifty feet in
height, are sprinkled everywhere, and, as in
the case Of the Dedham granite distributed to
the south, invariably show northern origin In
Berkshire county Massachusetts. these trav-
eled rocks lie in long alignments passing over
the Lenox hills, and extending in generally
southeasterly direction for fifteen or twenty
miles, and have been flched from the Canaan
and Richmond Hills across the line in New
York. being of chlorit!c slate, with angular
specimens of limestone intermixed. Some
GRANTEES from Vermont. on the West of the
Green Mountains, have been lifted over these
barriers and transferred to the southern mar
gins of Massachusetts, while in Vermont a
boulder, weighing over 34OO tons, and known
as the Green Mountain Giant, has been drift
ed from the Green Mountains easterly, across
the valley of the Deertield river lin Whiting
ham, and planted 800 feet above that stream
In Michigan, near the Menomonee river,

is densely covered with boulders, so that a
mile can be traversed without once touching
the ground. Again, huge nuggets of copper
torn from the immense deposits of native
copper at Keweenaw Point, Portage Lake
and the Ontonagon district, on the southern
shore Of Lake Superior, are found widely dis
seminAted to the south of these localities in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Minnesota, a
few of which have weighed 800, 500. and one
5000 pounds. Popular Science Monthly.

The CASE OF MRs. KATE SOUTHERN, whose
sentence of death has just been cOmmuted to
Imprisonment for ten years, by the Governor
of Georgia, deserves a passing comment.
The woman had been tainted and insult
ed by another woman of the neighborhood,
with whom her husband, Mr.. Robert Southern,
had been criminally intimate, The injured
wife, Mrs Southern, was forced to know from
this bad woman of the unfaithfulness of her
own husband. Finally, at a social gathering,
Mrs. Southern was approached by this wo-
man who again taunted her, and even treated
her with personal and bodily insult. The
abused woman, in an agony of rage and
shame, stabbed her tornentor so that she fell
dead. She escaped with her miserable hus-
band, was subsequently captured, tried, con-
yicted, and sentenced TO be hanged. Let US
suppose that Mr.. Robert Southern had been
the injured husband, and that some other
man had been the aggressor which the muir
dered woman was in this case. Does any
body suppose that Mr. Robert Southern
would have been convicted by Georgia jury
of any crime whatever!

UNIVERSITY TRAINING FROM A UTuTARIAN
NMw.-It is not pleasant thing to say, but
il is, nevertheless, true that, except in mi
nority of cases. Il university training leaves
young man, so far as his capacity TO support
himself is concerned in very much the same
position as it found him. No more lamenta-
Die mistake can be made by parents than to
suppose that the worldly prospects of com
monplace son are in any degree improved be-
cause, after Il two or three years residence ut
the university he acquires the right to affix
the initials b. A. to his name. On the other
hand, where the benefits of a university Ca
reer are distinctly felt and clearly visible,
they are such rs no other training in the
world could have conferred. But, however
large number these categories include there
must always be number at least AS large out
side them. An ordinary young man neither
brilliant nor dull, who has managed to get
through the university, not with distinction,
but with credit, finds himself at the age of
-, seriously deliberating how he is to become
a self-suppOrting institution. His education
is his only capital. He is too old to compete for
a large number of appointments in the civil
service nor has lie probably the special
knowledge which would enable him to COM
pete with any chance of success. He knows
nothing of the world-nothing' of men and
manners He may or he may not have ac-
qured thin veneer of priggishness and self
suticiency. What is he to do There are
literally only two things TO which, without in
terest or powerful connections, he eau turn
his hands. He may get ordained; or he may,
if he is exceedingly fortunate, gain Il post in
n school. Beyond this there is nothing and
neither alternative opens up an attractive or
even a satisfactory career.-EHglisA Paper.

\ CLOSELY GUARDED WEIGHT.-The con-
science keeper of the nations financial faith
is deposited at the mint, Broad and Chestnut
streets, in the form of a troy pound-weight,
which is kept under duplicate locks and seals.
There is a curious history connected with this
weight By it is determined the standard to
which the accuracy of the gold and silver
coins of the United States must attain. The
commission appointed by the President to
test the coins and make the annual assay use
this weight and on these occasions it is taken
from its carefully guarded seclusion, and it
shows the accuracy or inaccuracy of the pro-
ductions of the various mints in this country.
This little cylinder is copied from troy
pound-weight preserved in the Tower of Lon
CJu, and on this latter the coinage of Great
britain rests for reliability. This exact wit
n,ss of financial integrity is carefully pre-
served and guarded from tampering hands.
At the conclusion of the assay commissions
labors the weight is intrusted to the care of a
judge of the United States district court the
collector of the port and the director of the
mint, locked up and sealed for another year,
only to appear twelve months after and show
which mint has been derelict in its work

A NEw MAMMOTH CAVE has been discover
ed in Wyoming territory. A fortnight ago a
dozen herders planted windlass near the
mouth of the cavern on Table mountain, and
a man went down with a lantern, olinging to
a rope and spinning round dozen times be-
fore he reached the bottom. There was a
sheer descent of 50 feet TO the bottom, where
a passage 100 feet long led to subterranean
chambers and vaults of enormous dimensions.
The ceiling was fully 60 feet from the floor,
and was studded with countless stalactites of
all sizes, from few inches 10 II feet in
length. The floor was covered with cones
and stalagmites like inverted icicles. In many
places the stalactites were joined together,
having the appearance of huge hour-glasses,
and forming a number of pillars from floor to
ceiling, adding to the grandeur of the scene.

LIVELY GAS FIGHT is in progress over in
Spain. The trouble grew out of the Barcel-
ona authorities levying a tax on gas, which
the gas companies assessed on their consum-
ers Indignation was widespread, and al
most everybody stopped burning gas the
shops closed at sunset, and abusive crowds
gathered in front of the few houses which
continued TO patronize the companies. After
this state Of things had continued some weeks,
at a loss to the gas companies of several
thousand dollars a day, the city authorities
attempted to make the people burn gas, and
the governor issued "A proclamation that the
shops must keep open evenings The local
papers protested, and they We're fined and
suspended, no less than ten being now under
prosecution. Then the city government ap-
pealed to the Madrid authorities and the
minister of the interior supported their course.
Finally the question has got into the Cortes,
where the opposition attacked the govern
ments policy, but the president tried to help
his party out by arbitrarily closing the ses-
sion. The opposition got very indignant over
this step and declared that they would not at
tend the Cortes any longer, unless the gov
enment allowed the debate to be resumed.
The president accordingly yielded, and the
end of the dispute is not yet.

A SENSIBLE WORD FOR THE GIRIs-A girl
who makes herself too cheap is one to be
avoided. No young man, not even the worst,
excepting for a base purpose, wants anything
to do with n cheap young lady. For wife,
none but fool or rascal will approach such a
woman. Cheap jewelry nobody will touch if
he can get any better. Cheap girls are moth
ing but the refuse and the young men know
it, and they will look in every other direction
for a lifelong friend and companion before
they will give a glance at the pinch
stuff that tinkles at every turn for fascinating
the ''eye of any that will look" You think
it quite the correct thing to talk loudly and
coarsely, to be boisterous and hoydenish in
all places to make yourself so bold and for
ward and commonplace everywhere that peo-
pie wonder if you ever had a mother, or
home, or anything to do. So be it. You
will probably be taken for what you are
worth and one of these years, if you do not
make Worse than a shipwreck of yourself,
you will begin to wonder where the charms
are that once you thought yourself possessed
of, and what evil spirit so befooled you. Go
on but remember, cheap girls attract no.
body but rascals.-BOstOH Transcript.

Poor little Charley Ross did not suffer in
vain, after all, for his misfortune has been
the means of bringing good luck to very many
little boys, who otherwise, in all probability,
would have led lives of misery. In the course
of his investigations Mr.. Christian X. Ross
has examined 49, boys, all of whom were sup
posed to be the missing Charley. All of these
save three, who had been stolen, were friend
less scraps of humanity, drifting homelessly
over the face of the earth, and through the
publicity gained for them by being mistaken
for the lost son of Mr., Ross the great majority
of them were provided by charitable people
with comfortable homes. II should be some
consolation to Mr.. Ross that his quest, while
useless to himself, has been 80 fraught with
good to others.

It is not a castle olden,
Standing in the sunlight golden,
Relic of the past,
With a deep moat mossed and hoary,
And ray from bygOue glory
Ger its ruin cast;
But : mansion fair and pleasant,
Known alike Of peer and peasant
For its kindly cheer.
with ita glades and leafy covers,
Ferny hannts Of lettering lovers,
And the shy, wild deer.
Crimson blossoms rediy glowing,
Pickering shadows DER it throwing,
Veil the lichens stain;
Sunset CLEANS Of rose and amber,
where the ivy tendrils chamber,
Flush each easement pane.
Lurks no ghost behind the arras,
Happy midnight dreams 20 harrass
Wakes no Banshce's wall;
Tapestry, nor antique lumber,
Doth its sunny hall cucumber,
Shield nor suit Of mail.
Morning wakes its household noises,
Busy footsteps, laughing voices,
As in days uf yore
Burns its warm hearth ever brightly,
Where the gay groups gather nightly,
Though it knows no mere
Hearts by other loves supplanted,
Steps that once its precincts haunted,
flushed by mount and sea;
Only my sad heart remembers
Flowery Junes and dark Dccembcrs,
Spent, old home, In thee
shadows pace the garden alleys,
Wander with me through tue valleys,
Join my woodland walk:
Aud by streamlets willow shaded,
Where the song-birds sereuaded
Parted lovers talk
Idly talking, idly dreaming,
With the sunlit waters cleaning
Golden at their feet:
While the fair-haired children plunder,
Rosy -mouthed, with blue-eyed wonder,
Fruitage Wild and sweet.
When stretch my hands in greeting,
Each familiar name repeating,
Straightway from my sight,
Back to angel bowers they vanish,
Zen as beams Of morning Danish
Visions Of the night.
