SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT,

To avoid error on political subjects,
it is essentially important 20 observe
that society and government are dii.
ierent and distinct things. The social
fabric arises out Of the priudte or do.
meStic reldtiOnS-such as the relations
of parent and child, husband and wife,
master and servant, &C.; while govern.
ment is founded on the public relations
Of man--that is, tho relations which
exist between a man and his country,
or the community at large. One of
the ablest political writers OF the
American Revolution, speaking of the
origin and design Of government, said /:
"Some writers have so confounded
society with government! as to leave
little distinction between them, whereas
they are not only different, but have
different origins. Society is produced
by our wants and government by our
wickedness, The former promotes our
happiness positively by uniting our
affections; the latter negatively by
restraining our vices. The one en-.
courages intercourse the other creates
distinctions The first is patron /;
the last is punisher.
Society in every state is blessing /;
but government, even in its best state,
is but o necessary evil in its worst,
an intolerable one; for when we suffer
or are exposed to the same msenes by
u government, our calamity is heig ghten.
cd by rejecting that we furnish the
means by which we suffer. Govern.
ment, like dress, is the badge of lost
innocence-tho palaces of kings are
built upon the ruins of the bowers of
Paradise--tor were the impulses of
conscience clear, uniform, and irresisti-
bly, obeycd, man would need no law
giver But that not being the case, he
finds it necessary to surrender up q
part of his property to furnish means
for the protection of the rest and this
he is induced to do by the same pru-
dence which in every other case ad-
vses him, out Of two evils, TO choose
the least Wherefore, security being
the true design and end ofgovernment,
it unanswerably follows that whatever
form appears most likely to insure it
to us with the least expense and great,
est benefits preferable to- all others. -

THE PANAMA CANAL WORK
DONE.

The President of the American
Branch of the (De Lesseps) Panama
Canal Company has issued statement
of tho condition Of work. Notwith.
standing the obstacles encountered in
the luxuriant vegetation and the thick
forests, there has been opened and re.
corded transversely TO the axis of the
canal over 200 kilometers Of paths, and
also passage from 20 to 30 meters
has been made from one end of the
Isthmus to the other, according TO the
proposed lines of the Canal Commls.
sion. For meteorological studies, to
which especial attention has been given,
tour stations have been cstablished-at
Colon, Gamboca del Rio Grande, and
Naos Island. Geological surveys have
been made and are now in progress.
1t has been ascertained that between
Colon and Lion Hill the canal will not
encounter any rocks. At the present
time two steam sounding apparatus
are being put up similar to those at

shown TO be succession Of layers Of
clay, representing the degradations Of
greenish pyroxenic rock, which
through its gradual degradations and
decomposition has produced this forma-
tion. Az other places tho ground, bored
to a depth OF 2j meters, has revealed
every way, instead Of successive frma-
tions methodlcally arranged, a chain
Of derived rocks growing softer and
softer. The thickness OF tho mellow
soil is quite remarkable, and in word,
the soundings have given results be,

the canal.
Work on the canal has been com.

BEATS A YANKEE.

The Yankee is a bright sort of per.
son usually, but as regards rascality
he must now give way to the French
man. In Paris, a rich Hungarian
countess condescended to be present at
d performance in Summer theatre
she having learned thata Princess also
would grace it with her presence. The
Countess wore two costly diamond
rings, which she displayed with the
thought that they really were more
brilliant than the gems worn by the
distinguished leader in society in the
box opposite. Between acts the Coun.
tess was visited by a fellow in gorgeous
livery, who said, in the Hungarian
that his mistress, the Princess, begged
the loan of one of her rings for few
moments. The ring was handed to the
funkey, who poeketed 1t and fed
Later in the evening the Countess,
having met the Princess, learned that
her precious diamond was gone. There
was an exciting hula ballo, but the
loser before she retired received assur-
anco from tho police that the jewel
could be recovered. Therefore she
was not surprised to be aroused on the
following morning by messenger
from the police headquarters saying
that the thief bad been caught, but
adding that, in order to establish own
ersbip, she ought to forward tho com
panlon ring for comparison. The guile.
less Hungarian complied. An hour
afterward she learned that the sup
posed police message was bogus. She
had lost both rings.

HANDSOMR FLOWERS.

The Golden Gate Park Conservatory
at San Francisco, California, is now in
possession of two remarkable floral
curiosities--thc "Victoria-Regia," or
"Queen of Lilies, and the "Holy Ghost
Flower" Theformeris is remarkable not
only for its gigantic proportions and
great beauty, bat for its variety. The
plant in the Conservatory was grown
from seed presented to the Park Com
missioners by Her British Majesty's
Consul, William Lane Booker, having
been obtained by him from tho Royal
Gardens at Kew, England. They were
planted in pond especially prepared
Tor the propagation Of the lily AT the
Conservatory, and it was the first at
tempt TO grow the plant under artiii'
cial conditions on the Pacific Slope.
It has proved eminently satisfactory.
There are but few of these plants ex-
isting outside of their native Amazon,
on account of the difficulty OF produc-
ing the conditions necessary to their
Development. The principal flowers
Ofthose species now in existence, which
have been obtained artifcially are
those at Kew Gardens, London, and
that in possession of the King OF Ba-
varia, the production. of which cost
that monarch $4,000, which would
seem TO be q rather extravagant price
to pay for a single lily, large as 1t was.
The leaves Of the Bavarian plant,
which was grown at Stuttgart, reached
the extraordinary dimensions of eight
and nine feet in diameter. The speci.
mon of this wonderful flower .. tho
Park at San Francisco reached matnr.
ity, and somo anxiety was felt by the
Park authorities as TO whether their
efforts to produce blossoming plant
would be crowned with success. They
were much gratifed when large bud,
the size Of teacup. rose above the
surface Of the water, and at nine
o'clock in tho evening biossomed into
the largest and most gorgeous flower
ever seen in that State. 1t is about
fourteen inches in diameter, and is a
soft, beautiful pink in color. Ono Of
the most surprising features OF the
flower is certain power Of motion
which It seems to possess, not only Of
changing the direction in which it faces,
but its position on the water by q dis.
tancc OF several feet. These singular
actions of the bud and flower excite
the wonder of all observers. The bud
begins TO bloom about four o'clock in
tho afternoon, but the lily is not in

LIGHT.

The following exquisite poem. by William Pit
Pammer, was some years ago pronounced by on
Of the most eminent Of European critics to b,
tho finest production Of the same length in ou
language
FROM the quickened womb of the primal gloom
The sun rolled black and bare,
TIL woye him vest for bis Ethiop breast,
or the threads Of my golden hair
And when the broad tent Of the Ornament
Arose on It's airy spsrs,
/ peneiled the hue Of IT. matches blue,
And spanglei it round with stars.
/ painted the flowers Of the Ellen bowers,
And their leaves Of living green,
nd mine were the dyes 10 the sinless eyes
OF Eden's virgin queen
And when tho fends art In the trus,ful heart
Had fastened lis mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere Of the dtst-born tear
To the trembling earth I fell.
When the waves that burst DER world aeearsed
Their work Of wrath had sped
Md the Ark's lone few, tried aud irae,
Game forth among tho dead
with the wondroue CLEANS Of my bridal beams
bade their terrors cease,
As wrote on the roll OF the s,orms's dark SCROLL
Gods covenant Of peace.
Like pail at rest on a senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
Where shepherd swains on tho Bethlehem plains,
Their lonely yigils kept
When | flashed on their sight the heralds bright
OF Heavens redeeming plan,
As they chautea tho morn Of Savior born
JOY, joy, to the outcast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On tho just ana unjust descend;
Zen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in dark
ness aud tears
Peel my fmiie, tho best smile Of friend.
Nay, the flower Of the waste by my love Is en-.
brsced
As the rose In the glrden Of kings;
AT the chrysalis bier Of the worm appear,
And 10 the gay buttorGy's wings.
The desolate morn, like mournsr forlorn.
Concoals all the pride Of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from
her flowers,
Aud lead the young day to her arms;
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover.
And sinks TO her balmy reposc,
wrap the soft test by the zephyr famed west,
In curtains Of amber and rose
From my sentinel steep by the night brooded
deep
gaze with unslumbering eye,
Wheq the cynosure s.ar Of the mariner
ls blottel from out the sky;
And guided by me through the mercess sea,
Though sped by the hurrioane's wings,
His compassionless, dark, lone, welteri9g bark,
To tho haven home safely be brings.

GEOGRAPHY BEGINS AT RonE

Recently the State Superintendent
Of Virginia sent circular to the County
Superntendents, requesting them to
send diagrams OF the various town.
ships, with the several school houses
marked upon them. Out Of several
hundred, he received three replies.
The Others mainly were unable TO
sketch the simple diagrams required,
or did not know the boundaries Of
their own townships.
A little girl in Scotland, upon say.
ing that she studied geography, was
asked where Glasgow was. She re-
piled that she did not know, that she
had gone only as far as Asia. Every
teacher will understand this reply, who
recollects how our Biographies are
mostly constructed.
A PLAN, practical farmer in this
State visiting the district school, ques-
toned the class in geography as to the
distance TO the next village. That
was not in the book, and no one could
answer. "Just as / expected" was
his blunt remark. "You know all
about Africa, the north.polc, and the
moon, but nothing about your own
township"
Who're such state of things exists,
from Superintendents down, it may
well be asked, Is our method of teach.
ing geography the best2 They do
this thing better in Germany. First,
the class is taken out Of doors and
taught the points Of the compass then
in tho room, then to locate by their
direction the objects Of the room and
schoolgrounds then they are taught
to make diagram Of the room and of
the yard and TO locate the various OBJ
iects in them, or what is better, to
construct their outlines with mold
ing.board and sand. Then they pro.
coed TO the village, the brook, lake or
other natural features and principal
objects, always keeping in mind their
relations to the points Of the compass,
to each other and the central point,
and 50 on, the neighboring cities,

becomes wonderfully minute and exact.
But geography, like charity, should
not remain at home. The ignorance
of even well educated foreigners as to
this country is proverbial. A gentle
man from San Francisco visiting En-
gland was asked ifhe knew the brother
of the questioner, who was in America.
luquiring as to what part of America
the brother lived in, the answer was
Nicaragua"
The youngest geographer in this
country would hardly make such
bunder. But certainly the study of
should begin at home, and
like all studies, should be made as real
and practical as possible, What chill
dren can see and handle, they know.
What they are told or learn from books
is very uncertain and unsatisfactory at
best.
