possible that Congress will refuse aid or rec

cerned, the railroads that are now reaching
across the continent and those that are head

House over the ventilation of the fact that
the Presidents private secretary had been

an appropriation Of 500, 900 to provide coal

the construction Of canal which would ul-
timately follow after the purchase Of the

canal could not compete with the railroads

ISN'T THAT WHAT MAKES PEOPLE
DRUNK.-A little girl OF five or six years
sat in the church and watched with eager,
questioning eyes as she saw for the first
time in her life the sacrament of the Lords
Supper administered to those who present
ed themselves at the altar. After the SER
vice was over, the benediction pronounced,
and the congregation was again in the
street, the child whispered to her compan-
ion, who had also partaken of the sacra-
ment, what was that in the glass that the
preacher gave you and the other people at
the altarP" The lady replied that it was
wine. The puzzled and almost frightened
look of the little girl was both amusing and
pitiful, as she watched her companions
face for a moment, as if to satisfy herself
that she was not jesting. AT last she
asked, with evident disgust, isn't that
what makes people drunk"
Fortunately. fermented wine bad been
banished from the communion table of that
church, and the lady could, with clear
conscience, tell her little questioner. that
it was not that kind Of wine; that the wine
Of which she had partaken was the pure
Juice Of the grape and would not intoxicate.
In relating the incident TO friend shortly
afterward, the lady said: Il was so thank
full could say that it was not the kind that
made people drunk. II it had been fer
apented wine, am afraid all my efforts al
talking Temperance to that child, at least,
would have been failure. For doubt

BEWARE OF IRRELIGIoN.-The thought
full man of business, whatever his religious
belief, does not fail to perceive that there
is commercial as well as spiritual danger
in everything which unsettles the conf
dence of man In man. and tends to over
throw that belief in right and truth which
must be the foundation of all legitimate
transactions. An able writer in the Con-
temporary RevieW has lately been discuss
ing some important questions of religion
from the layman's standpoint; and his
conclusion is that $50 long as men of
business are possessed, however imperfect
ly, with the Christian faith, and, as Pro-
testants, accept as binding the teaching of
shat book which condemns all falsehood.
fraud and injustice, a barrier is raised
against the spread of corruption; but
should the idea come TO be generally
entertained that Christ is myth, and His
teaching unworthy of regard. then COM
merce would inevitably become more a
mere contest between unscrupulous knaves,
amongst whom honor would be a synonym
for selfish expediency, truth for clever
concealment of deception, honesty for the
avoidance of discovery in fraud" 1t will
never do for business men, or for buyers
and sellers of every kind, to forget that
irreligion means, in its logical result the
overthrow of law and order. and of all
business and social safeguards; rs in the
Paris Commune of 1871, and every similar
period of huan history. And every one who
gives irreligion just little help is consci-
ously or unconsciously working toward
this ends. S. Times.

The RETURN FROM MEooA.-While at
Damascus | was fortunate enough to
witness the return of the pilgrims from
Mecca. The whole city was in the streets,
bright sun lighting up the brilliant vari-
ETY. Of dresses and costumes which .jostled
one against the other. Now and then a
dervsh would force his way through the
crowd begging aims or confectioner
would pass along with his tray balanced
marvelously and immovably on the top of
his head. The procession OF pilgrims was
heralded by the sound of a trumpet; then
marched the troops travel-stnined and
shabby" who had formed their escort on
the way; after these came about 100 of
the garrison, mounted on horses, with
swords drawn, and a few cannons, and the
Pasha's palankin in their midst. Next
followed the sacred copy of the Koran be-
meath its canopy of green and gold, under
the folds of which as it swayed uneasily
TO and fro on the camel's back, boys
head and shoulders appeared. Behind
was . second camel bearing the green and
gold banner of the phrophet, accompanied
by the three sheiks in white turbans band
ed with gold. The first was enveloped in
q robe Of purple and gold; the last in one
of green and gold, marking his descent
from the family Of Mohammed. After
the sheiks came the pilgrims and their
families on camels, all equally ragged and
dirty. These were followed by the band
of the garrison, and company Of foot
soldiers brought up the rear. The process
sion was not, perhaps, very striking one
in itself but the crowd which had hocked
to witness it, filling the streets and shops,
peeping out OF the windows, and lining
the fiat roofs of the houses. was sight
well worth travelling long distance to

UNCovERING A BURIED CITY. French
newspapers report the discovery in AL
giers, by the arcb@ologist NJ. larry, of a
city which had been entombed in the sand.
M. Tarry's attention had been awakened
by the mound like appearance of the
sandy soil, and some digging brought to
light, the minarets and upper portion of a
mosque. Further excavations laid bare a
terrace, tower, and about dozen houses,
all in excellent preservation. He report
ed his discovery to the government of
Algiers, which has undertaken to have the
site thoroughly explored. The place is
the southern part of the province, not far
from the town Of Ouargla, and exposed to
the full blast of the sandy winds from the
desert. Probably succession of siroccos
bearing clouds of sand completely filled
up the streets and houses, making The
town uninhaitable, and so drove out the
population. At present there is no ground
for conjecture rs to the date of the occur
renee.
