The Border Troubles.

WASHINGTON, July 10. Our government not
long ago again instructed Minister Foster to bring
to the attention of the Mexican government the
fact that raids continue to be made into Texas
without seeming effort on the part Of Mexico to
suppress or prevent them The Mexican govern
ment met this complaint by saying that although
it had the most friendly intentions the United
States should not expect it to guard that part of
the Rio Grande border being an extensive unin-
habited country where Indian depredators cross
the river to pilfer from American citizens and then
return to the Mexican side. In all other respects
the Mexican government had acted in good faith
and therefore 1t protested against the invasion Of
its soil by American troops. Our government
through its minister made but brief though
special reply to this, showing there had been
much forbtaran on its part toward Mexico, and
| as that government could not or would not pre-
vent depredations upon the property of American
citizens by Mexican citizens, our government
would while endeavoring to afford American citi-
zcDs the necessary protection pursue the thieves
wherever found in order to recover the stolen
property and punish the thieves.

BRUINS WICK.
Bowdoin College commencement.

BRUNSWICK, July 10. The annual meeting OF
the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Alpha Chapter Of
Maine, occurred at $40 this morning, in Adam:
Hall. ID. c. Linscott was re-spponted president
Prof, ii. l.. Chapman, secretary and treasurer
Remarks were made by Prof. Packard. The
treasurer's report shows a balance in the treas.
ury.
The following were elected members of the
class of 49, Potter, Burton, Pray, Paine, Felch
and French. Mr.. Metcalf of II was also elected
a member.
After a recess of half an hour the society, head
ed by Chambers Band, proceeded to the church
the hill, where Rev. VIM. Henry Savage class
of '5S. delivered the Grafton. lie alluded in pen
ing to the beginning of the organization, and pro
ceeded to discuss the subject, "Has man right
to be religiousi" After mentioning the various
methods of the argument, Pho and con, he intro
duced q method of comparison somewhat different
than that usually adopted, and arlayed on the one
side those who argue from a scientific standpoint,
and on the other those who took simply relg ious
views.
All real gains in knowledge have been made by
discovery in scientific investigation. All gains
made by faith are mere hypothesis. Faith and in
tuition furnish hypothesis instead of know ledge
Mans religious nature is distinct fact. No sci
entifc fact is complete unless it is accounted for
The church doctrine of creation from nothing is
milk for babes" The germ original cell is
environed by some spiritual power. The feeling
Of environment awoke in man the spiritual na-
ture.
Heart religion, when it is not fraud, is the ex-
preston of this spiritual environment Mans re-
sponse to the spiritual environment is analogous
to physical laws. Man gave 300 years to investi
gate the scientific and throw cut the worthless
and so it must be in religious matters. Man mus
leave hat which seems irconceivable to concev.
able. All growth comes in contact with whai
was experience 1t is especially true that in relig
ion hypothesis and assumption stand for truth.
Culture will leave faith to fools. Let religion
come fealessly forth from the cell of faith. Dem
onstration Of the reality is needed, and method
which will make good her claim. Reason and
reverence shall stand together.
On motion of Prof. Chapman, a vote of thanks
was extended to Mr.. Savage, and the fraternity
adjourned.
The Cary concert and Zeta Psi reunion, comes
OFF this evening.
Tomorrow prayer meeting OF the Alumni and

where nicely is required, the channels between

their arms to an icy sun that sheds no rays, and
exclaim. "I-see thank Heaven | see!" And the

Lock me up in an ce-chest!
Bury it in the snow
Place il in the Arctic lands,
Where moss and lichens grow
Encase me in an iceberg!
Away from light of day;
Float it in the Arctic seas,
Where frigd zephyrs play.
Hoist me up the cold north pole
Far, far above old Sol,
Where he no more can greet me,
Nor his beams around me fall.
