What II His Aim.

SCRIPT, speaking Of the attempted assas.
sinstion Of Judge Page: ut is the gen.
eral opinion that the shooting was not
done by an Austin man." Davidson is
sued his paper at 6 O'Clock Wednesday
morning. The murderOus assault was
committed after eight O'Clock Tuesday
evenlng-there being u drizzling rain at
the time and very dark. Not one in
twenty-five of the persons in the city
knew of the cOwaruly attempt until long
after the paper was published and had
expressed no opinion at the time. Now
why does Mr. Davidson seek to have such
an impression goout? Why does lie lie
in this way? Has he not 4 spark of man.
hood in him? Is he trying to secure
some of his Austin desperatOes by seek

A pretty subject he is to handle mail

our readers, that they may know little
of the kind OF stuff the editor Of that
paper is made Of-he who runs the new
organ for that peaceable, christian part
of this community, the Page crowd.
He says our paper was issued al 6 o'clock
Wednesday morning. Our paper was
placed upon the press at ~ o'clock-not
much of a lie when touching upon fine
point. The news of the assault reached
Austin about 8:15 Tuesday evening.

Of them waiting (ourself among the

latest news in regard TO the shooting;
and we saw, we should think, from
sevnty-tive to one hundred Of the citizens
of Austin standing about in groups that
evening discussing the matter, and the
very first opinion we heard expressed was
that thetde was not committed by any
resident of Austin, and that was the gen.

Religious Yearnings in Childhood.

Let me recall my own childhood
over which the atmosphere of religion
breathed itself. | remember those ear
liest years, what faith had, what love
for Christ, what yearnings, large, inf
mite yearnings after perfect living. l
have had no deeper penitences since,
no greater pleadings for forgiveness, no
more heartfelt desires for goodness.
And when l told mother of it, of my
strong hope that was beginning to be
Christian, l, boy of six or seven
years old, when told her of this, 1 re-
call the frown which mantled even her
fearful eyes, as she told me of my pre-
sumption, of my ignorance. l have no
rebuke for that mother, for whose love
] SO much hunger, whose smile l look
to greet ME above. But l rebuke the
false notion which she had of the Chris
tian life, which kept her from taking
me into her arms and folding me to her
heart to breathe over me her gratitude
to God, and her benediction of encour-
agement for me. | rebuke the false
theory in the church which kept it from
opening to receive me, lamb, into its
sheltering fold. From what wanderings
l might have been restrained, from
what bitter tears of regret, which still
flow, might have been saved.-ReU.

is days, hours and AZ minutes in lC
years, to 562, $3.50 minutes, or just 49,
days, or two days over six calendar
months. In fifty years of smoking, we
find that 81 400 minutes have been
lost to the smoker in preparing his pipe
for action.
In other words, $40 days or two years
and six calendar months have been
actually wasted. In 100 years-and a
century of smoking is no uncommon
thing, if we may believe the biogra-
phies of the several hundred cOachmen
that were left to mourn his loss when
the Father of his Country departed
hence-the figures are utterly astound-
ing. Pipe filling has stolen from the
centenarian's fleeing years 2.622, 6OO
minutes This is equivalent to l02O
days, or within four days of five years
1t will be noticed in the above calcu-
latioD that no account has been taken
of the time consumed in unloading or
in lighting. Rejecting from our compu-
tation those smokers who never unload
pipe-those whose depraved taste
makes them as content with ashes as
with tobacco-and it is safe to say that
at least half an hour per diem Is given
to unloading, striking an average OF al
smokers. those of tobacco and those of
ashes, Unfortunately. When it comes
to the matter of lighting, the brain ac-
tually reels at the immensely of the
problem set before it for solution. AL
WAYS excepting the native of the Emer-
aid Isle, whose superior attachments in
pine lighting are known and recognized
wherever winds blow and tobacco is
smoked, it is safe to say that every
pipeful of tobacco requires on an aver
age three matches to begin with. In
addition to these, before the pipeful has
become exhausted, it requires, say, Ii
other lightings of one match each. Now
the burning of fourteen matches to each
pipeful would exhaust at the least sew
en- minutes. Multiply this by IL and
we have 42 minutes, or nearly quar-
ter-hour each day spent in the profit
less task of scratching matches. But
the matter of time is not the only ques-
ton involved. Estimating the smokers
in the United States at 100000, the
twelve pipes. that each smokes per day
destroys 156, 100000 matches; in one
year, 100000; in thirty years,
10, 800, 100000 matches! No wonder
our I'LL o6I ldnuS are IdSG UecOlnluS eN-
hausted Well for us that this priceless
invention has stepped in in time to
prevent an utter denudation of our
once forest-cOvered land
We are not informed as to the details
of this breech- loading pipe but the
mere fact that it has been invented
gives such transcendent joy that we
have no room for curiosity as to how
the Summum bOnum is brought about.

The Aquarium at Naples.

For the Young Readers of the Caledonian.
have this morning been very much
interested in visiting the Aquarium. 1T
is on the side of the public gardens
close to the sea, and since stream of
fresh salt water can be kept flowing into
it, many of the most curious fish of the
ocean are kept here, and some which
are not kept elsewhere. We go down
little from the street into very large
room which is entirely surrounded by
water tanks, and which is lighted by
windows directly over the tanks, so
that whatever light comes into tho
room must come through the water
where the fish are kept. This made us
feel that we were indeed like divers,
down in the midst of the great deep,
with the fnny tribes all about US. Three
sides of each tank are built of roughly
hewn stone, but the side next the centre
of the hall is of very thick glass. The
bottom is covered with gravel, stones
and shells. The fish have now become
used to visitors, so that we see them
behave, l suppose, very much as they
are wont to do in the ocean. Let us go
round and see what they are doing.
Tank No. 1 contains star fish and
echini, or sea-hedgehogs. The latter
are covered with short spines, which
they use for fingers, for feet, and for
keeping off neighbors that are too IA
miliar. They have a mouth under the
centre of the body and through it suck
in their food. What they cannot digest
they spit out again. They lay almost
without moving on the bottom of the
tank. But the star fish with their long
arms were quite active, and the arms,
instead of being stiff as they are seen in
cabinets, were as flexible as snakes
tails. On closely watching them, 1
found that underneath each arm were a
hundred or more feet, and each foot
was hollow and had perhaps a breath
ing apparatus. The mouth for food is
under the centre of the star-fish. No.
= has fish about six inches long with
beautiful brown backs, and sides as
white as silver. They swim about as
gold fish do. No. has very large shell
fish called tritoHs. They have each
but one shell, which is covered with
hard horns an inch or more long, and
into which they draw themselves up
quite out of sight, as snails do. But
here some of them are travelling ND or
down the rock wall. They walk on the
nat of their tongues and hang on by the
same means. Other very queer
looking animals occupy the same tank.
They are black as ink. deacon Po-
gram would no doubt wonder "wbat
bizness they had together with them
red shell fellers." He must ask the
Lord who made the sea and all that
therein is.") They spread themselves
out and look like bats. They draw
themselves up and look like black kit
tens. They are called sea-hares. We
regret that we cannot catch one and ex-
anime it more closely. No. has singu-
