mac Ml,.i.sIppl River Convention.

ST. LOUIS, October pa large number
of delegates to the Mississippi river conveu-
lion arrived to-day and are quartered at the
different hotels. The Louisiana delegation
has regularly organized with Hon. n, +.
Kenner, chairman. They have had 4 full ex-
change of views and will vote as unit in
the convention. At the meeting this even
ing they agreed to submit the following to
the convention;
Resolved. That We hereby approve the
expressed determination of the federal gov
eminent to improve navigation by ade-
uuately constructing leyceS, preventing de-
structiye floods and giving ease and safety
TO trade commerce and postal service on the
great national highway,th MissisSippiriyer
Also. that we approve the steps already
taken in the appointment of mixed COM
mission ofengineers from the scientific corps
of the government and from civil life to
plan and execute this grand work and
in appropriation of funds of money for
the necessary surveys and examinations
and for commencing work under
plan proposed by them. In view of
the magnitude of the object sought the
necessity Of uniformity of system and ad-
miniStration to the success of such work
and in the interest and rights of
SOOOOOJ0 of citizens we demand
that the effort OF the government shall be
both persistent and liberal, ana that the
course indicated by the legislation of the
last congress shall be maintained on the
Mississippi and extended over the tributa-
res, and that appropriations shall be ade-
quate to the magnitude of the work and
the necessity for pushing it forward
as rapidly as the increased commercial ne
CesSitics demand.
Another resolution regarding the jetty
system at the mouth of the river win be
added 10 the above, when it IS submitted
to the convention.
The Iowa delegates had an informal
meeting, at which the He per canal
scheme was discussed, and the convention
will be asked to embrace that project in
their demands on the government for aid
in opening navigations. Several delegates
from towns along the NJ ssouri river insist
that the convention shall recognize that
river. The same may be said OF
many of those living on the Ohio
and TIE prospects are that
the convention will find it very difficult to
conine its action to the Mississippi river
alone, as the projectors Of the movement
desire

speech by David Dudley Field at Social Science
Congress, IN Dublin
Mr.. Dudley Field, who was received with
applause, said that several years ago 1t was
his good fortune to meet their honored
president at social science congress in Bel
fast, aud he had never forgotten that on
that occasion he paid him the compliment
of saying that he ought to have been an
lrishman-or rather, he believed, the way
lie put il, that he was n good lrishman,
That was the highest compliment he could
have paid him, and he hoped he would par.
don him If he now returned the compli-
ment by saying, that his address was 50
good that IL ought to have been written
by. an American. [Laughter[ 1t was
indeed, good in all its parts, and full I'm
struction. The topics with which il dealt
concerned not Ireland only, but every part
of the Engish-speaking race. Indeed, he
might say that the tie which bound togeth,
or all the parts Of the world where their ma.
tive tongue was spoken was close, and was
drawing closer year by year [Applausel

AgnosticiSm at Harvard.

From the point of view of agnosticsm there
are but two parties in the college, the 26 ad
herents to that view, and the $40 who do not
accept it, The agnostic ground is that relig-
ion. in SO far as it is supernatural. transcends
human intelligence, SO that man can really
kro,o nothing beyond the phenomenal and the
finite. He may imagine much, and believe
much, and fancy that he knows, but strictly
tested it turns out that his coniectures are not
knowledge in the true and proper sense. The
position of the agnostic, in short, in regard to
other worlds or spheres of existence beyond
time, space and the course of nature is briefly
this: 81 know nothing and you know nothing,
we neither of us can know anything, and we
had better modestly confne our thoughts to
the universe which we can know"
Now, as there are only twenty-six that can
take this ground, it is only fair to suppose that
the other $40 take other and. opposite ground;
that is, they claim to knoac in regard to the re-
ligious matters of which they profess belief
claim, indeed, that their religious knowledge
is the most clear and certain of all their
knowledge.
The Harvard agnostic replies "The condi-
ton and course of things in our university do
not look like it. Let US test your claim by ref
erence to that religious doctrine which is hero
regarded as of leading Importance. The low
est and most documentary form of intelligence
undoubtedly relates to numbers. No human
beings have ever been found SO incapable that
they could not count little, if no more than
three or four fingers. At the very dawn of in
telligence there must arise a perception of the
difference between one object and two or three
objects. knowledge may be said to begin
here, and as it agrees with all experience, it is
beyond all other knowledge exact, fundament-
al and sure. Now, when you undertake to
rise above nature and experience, and pass in
to the realm beyond, what success have you in
the application of your primary numerical
ideas? Is the infinite object of worship one,
two, three, or twenty? Our students are di-
vided over the question; and the fluctuations
that are observed in regard to it do not favor
the notion that it rests on real knowledge. The
mass of our students are not agnostics. They
say they know. But while 214 of them declare
that the Divine Being is unit, $50 of the rest
deny this simple proposition and say that the
Divine Being is three or something like it.
Since the third century the Church has been
quarreling over the application of the most
elementary arithmetic to the object of divine
worship, and the swaying of opinion now indi-
Gated in Harvard University shows that the
question is just as unsettled as ever. But if
men cannot agree in applying the very first
and simplest steps of enumeration in the trans
cendental sphere, can they be said TO have any
real knowledge of it, and how can they sue.
