A Lecture CIT Memory.

IErom the Cincinnati Inquirer
cone evening when Ralph Waldo Emer-
son was engaged ia preparing his new lee
turc, Mrs. Emerson, who had that moment
flattened her finger while. trying to drives
nail with the smoothing-iron, thrust her
head into his study and said: See here,
sir, want you to drop that everlasting
pen OF yours, for O minute or two at least,
and go down to the grocery and get mack
erel for breakfast MY DEAR replied Mr..
Emerson, looking up from his work. 'my
dear, can't you go? You see am billed in
dozen places to deliver this lecture on

Sand that's what you call your lecture, is
it?' said Mrs. Emerson, sharply. "a nice

HGw Herd OF BuffnHoeS. Deceived by
Rotten 1cc, were En-ulfcdo

An army officer who arrived in Chicago
from the Yellowstone Valley day or TWO
ago tells story Of what happened to herd
OF butfaoes that were migrating southward.
The herd numbered $500 head. They had
been driven out Of the blilk-River country
by the Indian hunters belonging to Sitting
BULBS band The herd struck the river neur
Cow Island and ventured upon the ice with
their customary confidence. The animals
came upon the river with solid front, and
began tic crossing with closed ranks. The
stream mt the point Of crossing was very
deep. When the front file, which vas
stretched out quarter OF "a mile in
length, bad nearly gained the opposite
shore, the ice suddenly gave way under
them. Some trappers who were eyc-wit-
nesses Of the scene said it seemed as il a
trench had been opened in the ice the whole
length Of the column. Some four or tive
hundred animals tumbed into the opening
al! Of q heap. Others fell iu,on top of them
and sunk out OF sight III a twinkfing. by
this time the rotten ice was breaking OIL
short under the still advancing herd. The
trappers say that in less than a mil%,te the
whole body of butlaloes had been i;rccipi-
tated into the river. They were wedged in
so tbick,y that they could do nothing but
struggle for n second and then disappear
beneath the cakes OF ice OF the swift cur
rent. Not a beast in all that mighty htrd
turned tail aud tried to escape when the ice
began breaking up. Ina solid phalanXthey
marched to their fatal bath in the 6 Big
Muddy" In minute from the time the
first ice broke not a buffalo head or tail was
to be seen, ..-3,ls.

Dean Stnnlcy's E1eter0doXy.


Dean Stanley is so good man and stands
on 90 high a moral elevation that one is
cmboldened to state frankly that aspect OF
his character which his warmcst admirers
are least disposed to dwell Upon. Again
and again men have said that Dr.. Stanley,
osDean Of Westminster, was one or those ID
stances so rarely met with OF the right man
in the right place. This is true enough,
pr. with a slight reservation. Westminster
Abbey is not only q burrying-place for the
illustrious dead, and national museum OF
antiquities, but Christian church. and its
chief custodian should presumably be a
Christian clergyman. Now, Dean Stanley
is scarcely more OF CHI istian Tin any de-
Unable sense OF the world than Mr.. Rcnan.
Perhaps II would be more courteous to say
that MIR. RenanIa most virtuous and high.
minded many has as good a claim as the
Dean to the title Of Christian. II is puzzle
TO thoughtful persons how moral Durist
can really conceive himself justified in
drawing the pay OF an establishment the
doctrines of which are to him so many hg-
ures Of speech. TO him the miraculous pas
suge OF The Fed Sea is natural phenome-
non, exaggerated by Jewish pride into
preternatu ral marvel; the obedience OF the
sun to Joshua fine but strictly poetica
idea; as to Barabbas, he was an unlortu-
nate man. whose ideas were probably
warped in the first instance by the narrow
education impaired iii theological college.
In truth, Dean Stanley might be described
as Il secular saint. His baneless life oilers
a bright model (aud retuke) to only too
many protesting Christians. 1t should. in
fairness be added that he has some mourn
Disadvantages over ordinary men. Or what
arc commonly called .sthe five senses I" he
possesses but two-at least in perfection.
That OF taste he lacks altogether. deriving
rs much enjoyment from Strasburg pie
as others would from piece Of dog biscuit.
The varied tints OF flowers he can apprc-
ciatc, but not their perfumes.

RAISING Our OwN SUGAR.-The cultiva-
ton OF the sugar-beet in this country has
received fresh impetus from the success
of the enterprise in Maine, and already the
Connecticut Valley farmers are considering
the feasibility Of substituting this crop for
tobacco. The latter is reasonably sure
crop, but it eXhausts the soil, and the profits
are very small at present. The beet is easily
grown, does not make nearly so severe a
draft upon the soil, and yields fair income
on the capital invested. The amber-cane
has been tried by some farmers, but it is
rather failure than success, and will not
prove as profitable as the sugar-beet. Dos.
