OF STEPHEN GIRARD
Shreyenort Times.

When Stephen Girard died. fifty
years ago, he little thought of the
magnitude to which his bequest for
the foundation of a college for Or
phans would grow. The college COM
menced with three hundred orphan
pupils, no other class of children be-
ing admitted under the terms estab-
lished by it's founder. A Philadel-
phia paper says it now contains 1000
and accommodation for still more in
course Of construction. It's finances
have been managed with the greatest
fidelity and Judgment, and it's rev.
enue tor 1880 was 1886. 753. The
real estate he left to the college, es-
pecially the coal mines, has Increased
in value beyond all expectation.
History furnishes no example of a col
lege whose success has been SO great.
1t was opened for the reception Of pu-
pills in 184o. The buildings thus far
have cost about 81 100000 the main
one, in the form of a Corinthian tenn
pie, being 1862 feet long, Ill feet wide,
81 feet high, and is said to be the f.
nest specimen Of Greek architecture
of modern times-Exchange.
Girard was an "unbeliever' and it
is said one Of the provisions ofhis will
was that no minister Of any religious
denomination should ever be permit
ted to put his foot in the college bull
ding, upon the plea that discord might
result if ministers had anything to
say in the conduct of the college.
And in this connection, possibly some
OF our readers may never have seen
the old anecdote told of a visit of the
trustees to the college. As the jan
itor WAS admitting them he observed
that one wore q white cravat, and
jumped to the conclusion that he was
q minister. Stopping him in the
doorway he remarked that he could
not permit him to pass. "Why in
HI can't you?H asked the gen.
tleman, when the janitor instantly
replied; ass right in, sir"

Fcar Of DIsease.

II is said that while the plague was
raging in Buenos Ayres the grave diggers
bore charmed lives. OF the three hum
dred men 30 employed not one died Of
the disease.
1t has often been noticed that during
the prevalence Of pestilential diseases
physicians, undertakers, nurses and
grave diggers. whose business compelled
constant liability to infection, have usual.
ly escaped in a far greater ratio than
their numbers would warrant. The
charm" of this immunity from the pre-.
vailing scourge is very simple. They are
not scared. They are positive to the
disease, and repel its attacks. Fear is q
great ally of death. Whoever is afraid
of disease is in negative condition, and
really invites lis approach.
And thus it is the world over. The
brave die but once, while towards die
many times.
Much unnecessary alarm exists in
every community in regard to many
diseases. We are, it is true, all liable to
sickness and death. But il we are all
sober, cleanly aud brave OF heart, we
need have no fear Of disease of body or
mind.

The Man Hndn't n Cent.

Captain Broughton of Portland tells q
story which we think too good to keep,
which is as follows:
Sometime in "a there was a number
of army officers stopping at hotel in
Washington. Among them was Cap
tain Emerson. There was also Captain
Jones who was first-rate fellow, a good
officer, and very pompous. Emerson and
Jones used TO have a good deal of joking
together at the table and elsewhere.
One day at the dinner table, when the
dining hall was well filed, Captain Jones
finished his dinner first, got up and
walked almost TO the dining hall door,
when Emerson spoke to him in loud
voice, and said:
"Halloa, captain, see here; j want to
speak to you minute"
The captain turned and walked back
to the table and bent over him, when
Emerson whispered,
81 wanted to ask You how far YOU
would have gone if had not spoken TO
you?'
The captain never changed muscle,
but Strengthened up and put his fingers
in his vest pocket and said in voice
loud enough for all to hear him:
Captain Emerson, | don't know aman
in the world l had rather lend S. to than
you, but the fact is, haven't a cent with
me to-day"
And he turned on his heel and walked
away. Emerson was the color of a half
dozen rainbows, but he had to stand it.
He never heard the last of il, and it cost
him more than SIG to treat on it.

J "srDposdhits
New York Times.
The scare about the plague has again
appeared in Europe. where it will
| doubtless cause much concern, par
ticularly in those countries which
have many dealings with Armenia and
Mesopotamia. Undoubtedly the plague
ought not to be treated with un-
concern and derision as it has frequently
shown its abil ty to travel over the
greater part of the Old World, from its
pestilential hot-beds in the valleys OF
the Tigris and Euphrates. II is as well,
| however, to remember that certain parts
of Mesopotamia are never entirely free
| from the plague. In the cold weather
II exists languidly and fitful,y, but when
the hot season sets in, it RACES more or
less in every town, from Mosul and
Bagdad down the Persion gulf. The
cause of the scourge is now tolerably
well known. The Tigris and the Eu-
pirates, at the period when the SHOWS at
their source begin to melt, cannot have
their waters carried off into the Persian
gulf by the Shatel. Arab. and accordingly
they food the low-lying countries around
for distances of fifty and even hundred
weather sets in, the overflow is speedily
dried up, but the whole Of the previously
submerged country becomes swamp OF
miasmatic, pestilential vapors. The
earth seems to crack and breath forth
miasma. Then follow fevers and the
plague among the inhabitants. Villages
are annually depopulated, but the sur
rounding inhabitants have become 80
accustomed to the visitation, that they
only move further inland or toward the
seaboard for time, and then return in
the cold season to their pastoral occupa-
tions around their former homes. The
ravages of the plague are augmented by
the indiscribably filthy condition of the
villages and towns in which il appears.
Bagdad, for instance, contains within its
imbankments the remains of filth which
have been allowed to accumulate bv
gigantic populations for century after
century. kerbela, which is in the
vicinity of the remains of Babylon, is
annually visited by millions of Moham-
medans, who go to pay their devotions to
the tombs of Hoosein and Hassan, the
/ melancholy heroes of the Mohurrum
/ festival, which yearly causes great blood
shed in Asia, between the rival Moham.

in its vicinity which is appalling. fthC

the world would never, probably, bt

but SO long as Turkish officials are wha

PUNISHING THE TICTIM.
A Swindled Greenhorn in Jail Because He
Discovered the Thieves.

A SwindIed Greenhorn n In Jail Because He
Discovered the Thieves.
Readers of the GLOBE are familiar with the
particulars of the arrest of two confidence
men who gave their names as Mansfield and
Paine. who went through greenhorn by the
name of Hogan Hanson on Saturday last.
Hanson was held as a witness, and in the ab-
sence of bail was committed 10 jail. Yesterday
Mr.. E. R. Hollinshead swore out writ of
habeas corpus, and Hanson was brought be-
fore Judge Brill, and he was returned to the
municipal court, where he gave
bail on his personal recognlzance in the
sum of $500 for his appearance. Before he
left the court room, however, te was rear
rested by Detective O'Connor, upon a warrant
for compounding felony, and he was taken
back to his old quarters in the Ramsey county
Jail. To man up tree it would seem that
the victim of the whole affair is the innocent
rooster who loaned the $50, and got $50 of
his money back. All the others will be ac-
quilted. A hearing in the case will be held at
8 O'Clock this morning.

SUNDAY Law IN THE SIXTH WARD.
A Clergyman Contrasts the Proc.ivities of
the Two Parties.
Sunday evening at Clinton Avenue Metho-
dist church the pastor, Rev. D. Morgan, gave
a temperance discourse. After alluding to his
courteous reception by Mayor Rice as one of
the committee appointed by the Thursday
evening meeting at the old town hall, and of
the assurances given by the mayor that the
Sunday law should be enforced if the citizens
would CO. operate. The reverend gentleman
proceeded as follows: 1t has been said that
the Democratic party was the liquor party,
while the Republican was the temperance par
ty. He was sorry that the latter was a false
statement, and was bound III candOr also to
admit the falsity of the former. Lately in the
State of North Carolina prohibitory liquor
law was defeated by over 100000 votes. A
wealthy and philanthropic lady had placed in
the hands of the National Temperance union
the means for sending number of temperance
workers into that State to try to work up
popular sentiment in favor of the passage OF
the law. The work was in the hands of the
Rev. DR.. Moore, an enthusiastic advocate of
the cause, and this Is the report:
II have visited and thor
in the State and understand positively the
cause of our defeat. The white Democrats of
the State are to man in favor of the law, and
generally voted for it. The negroes and the
politicians and Office holders are to man OPP
posed to it. Those who run the political
machine have lever in the shape of mean
whiskey to nerve and control the ignorant
blacks. Prominent among the opposing fac
ton was the man commissioned by the Presi-
dent, just previous, to his being shot, as
United States Marshal for the district of North
Carolina, who made an open and determined
canvass against the law telling
the negroes that it was Democratic dodge to
try to deprive them of their rights"
Minnesota claims Republican majority of
10000, and an overwhelming majority in their
State legislature, and yet no prohibitory law or
proposition for the people to vote upon can
be carried. The charge is as false as the
claim. Let no man again say that the Repub-
lican party was the party of temperance.

Tho Union Deuot.

The finishing of the walls and woodwork of
the lower story of the Union depot was not
quite done Yesterday, but the workmen were
few and not in the way of the crowds which
at times poured through the building. The
fine waiting rooms were evidently appreciated
by passengers who have experienced the dis
comforts of the dirty little rooms in the old
depots. The baggage room floor was early
filled and was left full all day, while great
loaded trucks were at the doors all the time.
Considering how new tie situation was there
was little confusion or delay and the hundred
or more trains which came and went through
the day received and discharged their passen-
gers without any being mistaken as to their
train. The work in the upper story is being
pushed by q large force of work
men, but cor siderable remains to be done
outside and in, and the establishment will not
be complete under month. The iron roofs
over the platforms may not be provided in
that time.
