Division Of Hos and Minutes,

Division Of Hos and Minutes.
Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes and each minute into sixty Sec
onds? This is often asked by intelligent
children, and tho answer is this; We
have sixty divisions on the dials of our
clocks and watches because the old
astronomer, Hipparchus, who lived in
the second century before Christ, &C
cepted the Babylonian system of reck-
oning time, that system being sexigest-
imal. The Babylonians were acquainted
with the decimal system; but for COM
mon or practical purposes they counted
by sossi and sari, the sossos represent
ing sixty-3,600. From Hipparchus
that mode of reckoning found it's way
into Ptolemy, about $50 A. d., and
hence was carried down the stream of
science and civilization, and found the
way to dial plates of our clocks and
watches.

AMERICAN PoRx. Secretary Blaine
in consequence Of the attacks made
in Europe upon American pork, or
dered an investigation, the result Of
which is summarily stated as follows: !:
"The swine Of America are Of the
best and purest breeds and are fed
and fattened for market on corn. II
is not believed that swine are thus
fed in any other country.
The reports published in Europe
concerning the deaths OF American
hogs from hog cholera are grosss sex-
aggerations. y 9lS
"The fears excited and fostered in
parts Of Europe by interested per-
sons that any portion Of hogs which
have died or may die Of cholera or
from any other cause is or can be CON-
verted into merchantable lard, are
founded upon gross ignorance; for
merchantable lard cannotbe produced
from such dead animals.
"The percentage Of American hogs
infected with trichin@ Though this
question is thus far largely one Of
supposition) is in all probability, by
reason Of the superiority of the breed

dead, instead Of bursting forth in
agonizing grief, he arose, washed,
laid aside his sack-cloth and ashes,
ordered and partook Of food, and
said practically, MY darling is dead
and cannot be recalled; then why
weepf Let its death be among by
cones, and let ne prepare to 60 to IT;
but meanwhile dry up my tears, and
again give myself to the cares OF the
state" l.
Mourning apparel is wrong
throughout, because, il it increases
our sorrow, it is injurious If not it
is unnecessary, besides being expen-
sive and often heavy tax on the poor
that they cannot really afford, and
greatly increasing the hustle and
confusion incident to funerals. By
proclaiming our loss, and awakening
sadness in others, it does them also
harm.
Then let them be abolished Yet
draping the graves Of loved ones
with flowers is an appropriate ofter-
ing to their memories.
The old professor also advocates
travelling and gay society, as the best
panacea for the loss of d dear friend.

gist, and student Of humanity is not

sonable objection to this!
4. Finally, the committee has pass.
ed its sponge over the clumsy work Of
Stephens, and others, who divided up
the gospels and epistles into chapter
and verse as butcher would cut up
his meat. It is notorious fact, that
however convenient this division has
proved, it has been carried out at q
cost OF sad offense to the sense and
continuity of the writings. The
original order and sense have been
formally restored, and for convenien-
the chapters and verses have
been marked on the margin. What
ever may be said against this on the
score OF prejudice, we feel assured
that the voice Of reason is on it's side.
And this enables us to make an i'm
portant point. By long usage the
English speaking people have come
to regard the t,'dnslation of the Bible
by the King James scholars as a sa-
cred work. This is rank heresy against
common sense as well as religious
faith. inla sf {amstlf sos
The translation is a great and even
wonderful work of man, perhaps the
best translation of that day, two
hundred years ago. 1t is endeared
to us by long years of use, and the
venerable sentiments Of ancestral love
and church authority. But the Eng
lish translation is but q dress Of the
original, which has, perhaps, thous-
and others. Men may exclaim against
the rectifying and modernizing OF this
translation with as much reason as
against man who exchanges an old
tower or feudal castle, which his
fathers left him, into modern habi-
tation, or Of placing modern YER
sion of Chaucer, Spenser or Shake
speare in the hands of his children,
rather than the hard-to-be understood
original
As we have remarked, the only point
in which the student and the friend
of the Bible should be in arms, is to
see whether in all caser the revision
lists have been correct in their chang
es. We understand that good
many Americans and a few English
scholars object to the accuracy OF
the alterations. This is legitimate /;
and this jealousy is proof of the
great regard in which the Scriptures
are generally held. But allowing
that the committee have erred in sew
eral instances, does this invalidate
the great work of reformation they
have done in casting out error and
making plain the word of God?

Prof. o. s. Fowler on Mourning for
Departed Friends.

Grief inficts irreparable injury.
We will not descant on the value of
health. Suffice it is that is the sum-
ming up and focal centre because the
sole instrumentality of all va.ul-
ton, SO that whatever Injuries it, saps
the very life itself, and all its powers
and enjoyments at their very heart,
and is by any and all means, and at
all events to be absolutely avoided.
Now grieving is most fatal to
health and the nervous system. All
it's kinds, whether for loss of proper
ty, honor, friends, children, lovers,
happiness, indeed, everything, by vir-
tue of it's own inherent physiological
effects, redoubles this evil by induc-
ing cold, that great direct usher of
most diseases, by withdrawing circu-
lation from the surface to centre, and
deranging all the physical functions,
besides diminishing all the systems
power of resistance. +"
How often are mourners taken down
sick Immediately on returning from
o funeral, especially when they give
way to violent grief, and often die,
the death of one causing the death of
several relatives! Strange that q fact
80 common has not been observed
and traced to its cause-colds from
grief hence those in grief should be
extra careful of their health. Self
preservation is first human duty as
well as instinct, and grief unquali-
fidedly is wicked. Why
should widow debilitate and frus-
trate all her powers by greif at the
very time when she most needs all
her strength and self possession to
care for herself and children, and
save her property from those who
now, vulture-like, hover around the
estate to grasp all they cant
Does not this grief unnerye and
enfeeble her ? Yet, do not herself,
children, estate and increased cares
require every item Of strength she
can command! What right has she
10 intercept her childrens happiness
by indulging her grief God and
nature punish mourning and thereby
pronounce it wrong. Let those
whom these views shock show wherein
they are erroneous .But we can no
more help grieving than snarting

A Mexican Hotel.

The Mexican hotel furnishes you
lodging, that is all. You engage
your room by the day or month, and
you get your bed and toilet. OF
course we ring for the ice water,
more Americana, and the waiter
brings us water without ice; we ask
if we can't get ice, and are told that
we can if we send out and buy it.
Before going to bed my chum be-
thinks me of his physic and asks for
warm water; the waiter cant get us
any warm water because the only
place to get it is at the bathing es-
tablishment, and that is closed at $3.50.
We need spoon and send q boy for
one. he returns and reports that the
restaurant is closed, and that the cafe
won't trust him with spoon. l go
down to the cafe when the propri-
etor, a very polite Frenchman, says {:
II am very sorry to give you the
trouble to come down stairs; l am
very glad TO lend you anything in
my establishment, but / have lived to
long in this country to take the word
of one of those fellows for a spoon.
The force of the hotel consists of q
sad looking clerk, who writes the
names of the guests in chalk on q
blackboard, melancholy custodian
of the keys, two barefooted Comanche
boys for general utility, and two
walters on each floor. 1t is owned
by the Iturbes, who are the richest
family in Mexico. They paid $780,
900 for the property, and make $i0,-
900 to $4,000 a year from it They
own the whole block, the Hotel Ba
gar, the Hotel San Carlos, and whole
blocks OF the best property in the
city. There are two of them, and
their fortunes are estimated at 3d.

An Object Of Pity.
DEAR EDITOR;

DEAR EDITOR;
This morning about seven o'clock,
q young man not more than 20 years
of age, came tottering up to my gate
and sank down completely exhausted.
It only required q momentary glance
at his pale face and hollow eyes, to
tell that the man was starring. Not
waiting to hear his story, l assisted
him into the house and hastily pre-
pared him q breakfast, which he de.
voured so ravenously, I was com
PEELED to turn away in order to con-
ceal the tears / could not repress.
After his hunger was appeased, he
voluntarily told me the following pit
iful story:
He had left his homo and loved
ones, lin Illinois) and came to the
Lone Star State in search Of employ.
ment, but before he succeeded was
taken sick with bone fever and lay
six weeks with no other attention than
that of an old negress, who kindly
took him in her little hut and cared
for him as best she could. Her at
tention no doubt saved the poor un-
fortunates life. She was, in man
ner destitute herself. So about one
week ago, she started out in search
of food, and from some cause or 9th.
er, failed to return.
Last night about IL o'clock, the
poor mans hunger became SO great
he made q desperate effort to reach
the city, "a distance of two miles)
and between walking and crawling,
he reached my house at seven o'clock.
He said he had asked for food at two
other houses but was refused, because
they thought him a tramp.
Suppose he had been O tramp,
(Which was not the case) must we see
a human being sick and starving,
and not help hint No! no! I
could not find it in my heart to do
less than I did. Oh, it is hard to see
people starving when there is such
an abundanceof food-men with their
millions laid away in banks, and for
what purpose9 What flood is the re-
suit! There is not one rich man out
of fifty that would contribute his
dollars TO the poor, unless it was
through a selfish motive. The rich
man goes through this life with ease
and comfort, his name is extoled to
the skies, and when he dies he is
laid away in his silver casket and ev-
cry one focks to his funeral to see
the last of the "great Mogul;" but
let the poor, hard laboring man die,
and he is laid away in his pine box
followed TO the grave by a few faith
full friends-buried and soon forgot
ten. He is only poor man. -
Heaven help and pity the poor, is
the sincere prayer Of
PAJARo.

GEs. GRANr's memory seems to b

dEN. dRANTs memory seems 10 Do
strangely at fault. In q recent in
terview at Chicago he said: ia
ssWhen I was acting as President
if single senator from any state OBJ
jected to an appointment it was not
made, although some cabinet officers
might have favored it. It is well
known fact that the opposition Of
both senator's from Massachusetts
and the Vice President did not pre-
vent him from appointing Simmons
collector of customs at Boston. OF
the whole congressional delegation
only Gen. Butler favored the appoint
ment. But there was another case Of
still greater significance. In the first
year Of Gen. Grants first admins
tration it was rumored that he in
tended to remove one of the super
visors of internal revenue and to put
q man of bad reputation in his place.
Both senator's from the respective
states protested against the change ;
large majority Of the congressional
delegation did the same; the cham
Der Of commerce and a large number
of merchants of the principal city in
that state did the same; the secreta-
ry of the treasury, on account Of the
bad character of the man, was reluc-
tant to make the appointment but
against all these protests President
Grant ordered the appointment to be
made. II was that Of John McDon-
aid, who soon afterwards became the
chief of the notorious whiskey ring of
the west.
