fatally astray. But here we must guard
against another error. Many people

THE sHADOW OF GLENCOE.
(AFTEH AN OLD LEeEND.)

A shadow by the castle walls
Sad thoughts to memory oft recals;'
From tower, and spire, and turret falls
This shadow by the castle walls.
Hid are the violets wrapped in gloom,
Swallowed the purple heads of bloom,
Yet telling to me with their sweet perfume
Their presence in this shadowy tomb.
One lovely day, ali !.wofui day
1t was one smiling morn in May;
The sun sent down his cheeriest ray
Upon this long, sad-ending day
Forth rode young and gallant knigh
With eyes of heavens own azure light
With housings gay and helmet bright,
Out rode this young and gallant knight.
With lance and spear at saddle bow
He sallies forth to meet the foe;
He pauses where the fir trees grow
And turns last look on Glencoe.
farewell, my proud, ancestral home;
Farewell, We woods I've loved to roam"
He lifts his eyes to Glencoe's dome,
Where wave the banners of his home.
His gallant steed, ere night had fell,
Had charged through brake and bosky dell,
And reached his stall oh, was it well
With Glencoe's pride? All, who could tell?
No more he paced his fathers halls,
No more their grandeur on him falls,
But darkly by the castle walls
The shade from tower and trlrret falls,

4 Monument Sic Thousand Years OF

Il Monument Sic thousand Years Old.
The Ashmolean Museum at Oxford
contains one of the Oldest monuments of
civilization in the world, if, indeed, it is
not the very Oldest. This is the Intel
stone of q tomb which formed the last
resting place Of an officer who lived in
the time Of King Sent, Of the second
dynasty, whose date is placed by NJ.
Marietta more than 5000 years ago.
The stone is covered with that delicate
and finished sculpture which distin-
guished the early periods of Egyptian his
tory, and was immeasurably superior to
the stiff and conventional art Of the lat
er ages of Egypt which we are accus-
toned to see in our European muse
ums. But it is also covered with some
thing more precious still tina sculpture,
with hieroglyphics which show that
even at that remote epoch Egyptian
writing was complete and finished art,
with long ages of previous development
lying behind it. The hieroglyphic
characters are already used, not only
pictorially and Geographically, but also
to express syllables and alphabetic let
tiers, the name of the King, for instance
being spelled alphabetically. In the
hands of the Egyptian scribes, however,
Egyptian writing never made any further
progress. With the fall of what is called
the Old Empire about B. G. $500, the
freshness and expansive force of the peo-
pie passed away. Egyptian life and
thought became fossilized, and, through
the long series Of centuries that fol.
lowed, Egypt resembled one of its own
mummies, faithfully preserving the
form and features Of past age, and Of a
life which had ceased to beat In its
veins. Until the introduction Of Chris
tianity the only change undergone by
Egyption writing was the invention of o
running hand, which in its earlier and
simpler form is called hieratic, and in its
later form demotic.

IT is shown by statistics relating to
the years 1872 to 1879, that, while the
total income Of the population Of Prussia
has not diminished, the large and very
large incomes have fallen of, and me-
dunn incomes have increased. The
fear Of an aggressive accumulation Of
wealth in few hands seems to be
groundless, and the great core of the
nation, the middle class, is extending
and gaining strength.

front door Of the street-car. Every one

Then they all smiled, and the conductor

The Prussian Wends, the remnant of
Slavic race once established in Ger
many, retain some of the grossest super
stitions of their pagan ancestors. The
belief is general among them that the
heart or liver Of a dead infant or
maiden Of tender years, brewed with
certain herbs into beverage, will cure
diseases or inspire the passion OF love in
the consumers. The practical result of
this belief is the constantly recurrent
violation Of the graves sanctity, and the
mutilation Of corpses secretly 6sin-
tered.

A Tribute to President Hayes.

The Philadelphia Times, one of the most
captious and exacting of the Independent
press, makes the following candid admis-
sion in favor of President Hayes admin
istration. Such disinterested and vol
point point is high praise, but it is abund dainty
deserved:
If severe and minute honesty in all the
departments Of government can commend
the party in power, the republican has
fairly earned the confidence of the tax
payers of the country. Of 1854, S76, 1863
collected from all sources in the last three
years, all but s15, 900 have been paid into
the treasury, and there is prospect that
may be recovered. Counting this as per-
manent deficiency, however, it makes a
loss to the government of but one-third
per cent. on each $1,000 handled-a re-
markable contrast with previous democrat
ic administrations.

fraudulent Census Returns i'm the
South.
New Ork Tribnna
New York Tribune.

The democrats of South Carolina have
done even better than wasclaimed for them
last week by the democratic papers of the
state AT that time only IS per cent. increase
IN the population was insisted upon as the
result OF the census returns, but now that
the figures for all the counties except two
have been received at Charleston, it is an
nounced that the actual increase over the
census OF 1870 is more than 10 per cent.
These figures are paraded with the decla-
ration that every confidence can be placed
IN their accuracy. As an evidence of
their trustworthiness the returns from the
counties are compared with state census
taken in 1878, under the last republican
government. 1t is shown that the pres
ent reported increase is only slight ad-
vance upon these figures of 1875 The
Charleston paper which makes this COM
parlson omits to state, however, that the
republicans of the state themselves repudi-
ated that census as fraudulent. The re-
publican legislature refused to publish it,
and the republican school commissioner
refused to recognize it in his apportion-
ments. 1t was universally known to be
fraudulent by the republicans and was rep
udiated by them.
The figures Of the internal revenue and
the postal service afford an interesting
commentary upon the alleged increase Of
population in South Carolina From July.
1870, to July, 1SS0-that is, during the
time covered by the census Just taken-the
receipts of internal revenue have fallen off
81 per cent, or from $25S, 766 to Sill. $3.50.
In the same time the increase in the COL
lections in Wisconsin has been 81 per cent,
and in Michigan II per cent, while the
increase of population turns out to be
about % per cent. South Carolina, with
falling off of 50 per cent in collections,
claims over 43 per cent. increase in pop
ulation.
While the ratio of population does not
follow the percentage Of internal revenue
and postal receipts, it is difficult to believe
the differences SO great as those claimed by
the alleged increase in the population Of
South Carolina.
