THE INDEPENDENT.
The foremost religious newspaper of the United
States."-lTHE REV. JOSEPH Cook.

Established in ls4s as an advocate of ti-slav-
cry and of reforms in religion and politics The IN
DEPENDENT at once became a recognized power
throughout the country. Its influence has ever
since been constantly growing. As it has fought
against slavery and for cheap postage, so it will
fight MOrmOnism, for CivilService Reform, and for
purity in politics and general uprightness in all
things. 1t employs the best editorial talent and
speaks fearlessy on all subjects. 1t pays for
tributed articles and for editorial services more
than double the amount paid by any other weekly
newspaper.
1t publishes more religious discussions than the
religious reviews more poetry and stories than the
popular monthlies and gives more information than
an annual encyclopaedia. The long cable dispatch
es recently published from the great Methodist
Council in London, are good illustration of what
The INDEPENDENT is constantly doing. A list of
the most prominent religious and philosophical
writers, poets and story writers in the country is
the list of the contributors of The INDEPENDENT.
Besides the space set aside for these writer's and
for editorials, there twenty two distinct depart
ments, edited by twenty-five specialists which in
clude Biblical Research Sanitary, Legal, Fine
Arts, Music, Science, Pebbles, Personalities, Min
isterial Register II ymn Notes, School and College,

Foreign sympathy for the American
nation in its loss of President Garfield
has not yet ceased to show itself. At
Buenos Ayres, i'll the Argentine Repub
lie, few days ago, public services
dead, and fifteen thousand persons
marched past the American legation
with various national banners draped
in mourning. Three ex-presidents of
that country walked in the ranks.

Just at this time, when bank failures
are forcing themselves upon the pub
lie mind, and bank directors are prov
ing their untitness for such positions,
it Is refreshing to glance again over an
old paragraph which tells us that
"when bank fails in China, the Off
GERS are Immediately beheaded and
their bodies are placed around the
room among the furniture and nominal
assets. There has been but one bank
failure since the year S5l."

correctly Spelled from His New Cook Book
The man who gets bit twice by the
same dog is better adapted for that kind
of business than any other
There is a great deal of religion in this
world that is like life preserver, only
put on at the moment of immediate
danger, and then half the time put on
hind side before.
Experience is school where man
learns what = big fool he has been.
The man who doesn't believe in any
hereafter has got dreadfully mean
opinion of himself and his chances.
There are two kinds of fools in this
world--those who can't change their
opinions and those who won't.
A good doctor is gentleman to whom
we pay three dollars visit for advising
us to eat less and exercise more.
Out in the world men show us two
sides to their characters; by the Preside
only one.
The world is filing up with educated
fools mankind read too much and learn
too little.
Every man has his follies and often.
times they are the most interesting
things he has got.

Solomon Jones, of Bloomburg, Md,
seventy, when after many years of pow.
erty, he received two thousand dollars in
pension money. He had no relatives to
leave it to when he died, and therefore
made up his mind to spend it all himself.
In view of the probably short time re-
naming to him in this world he felt that
he must be fast and furious in his pleas
ures if he would spend the whole 50, 600.
He married young wife and gratified
her love Of dress; He got in a large stock
of beverages and drank them recklessly,
he bought fast horse and bet on him.
At the end of three months the last dollar
was gone. his wife deserted him, his
horse died, and he is still without any
immediate prospect of dying.

General Grant has explained how he
became attached to cigar. When at
West Point he tried to join other cadets
in smoking, but the experiment did not
agree with him and he did not form the
habit, nor did he begin to smoke much
until he began fighting the battle of the
war. Engaging in all the early contests,
he found cigar of some service in re-
lieving the mental strain upon him, and
when battle was in progress he often
had cigar in his mouth, but still he
was not an inverterate smoker. On other
occasions he probably did not smoke so
much as most men of modern indulgence.
To his surprise he found the newspapers
making a point of his smoking, and
very soon boxes of excellent cigars began
to arrive Mt his headquarters from all
parts of the country. There were so
many that all officers attached to his inn
mediate service were supplied, and with
such a supply he assisted in sampling
until. as the campaign went on, he en-
joyed his cigar OH all occasions and has
since smoked "a much as the best of
men. He thinks the newspapers in
fluenced him q good deal on the tobacco
question.

A PHILANTHRoPIC citizen of Chicago,
every Sunday, sends into one OF the vii
est and most desolate localities of that
city an express wagon containing an i'm
mense urn of piping-hot coffee and
every hungry person who will apply is
given slice of good bread and a cup of
coffee. The Times, of that city, de-
scribes the crowd that gathered around
the coffee cart Sunday or two ago as
being SO wretched looking as to be pic
turesque. The coffee cart was an object
of interest, but not of sport to them.
They were evidently all very poor, and
some of the men were in shirts, with no
coats to cover them. The crowd was
evidently American, and there were
more young men than old. The coffee
and bread lasted forty minutes, and Mt
no time were there less than 100 per-
sons surrounding the wagon. A very
remarkable feature was the unselfish-
ness manifested. There were men in the
crowd who said they had tasted nothing
for twenty-four hours, yet there was no
crowdin9, no ill-humor, and their treat
ment of each other could not have been
surpassed in the most genteel society.
Not every man who applied was served.
Certain qualifications were necessary,
and the examination was character
istic one. A man with overshoes on his
feet would plead in vain, for the man in
charge of the cart said, "a man that
can afford to wear pair of overshoes
can certainly afford to get his coffee and
bread at home. A new hat, clean shirt,
good coat or strong pair of shoes
were sure to disqualify the possessor,
the distributor saying, "This coffee
and this bread are for men who cannot
get it Mt home" There was no appeal
from his decision.

Had Nothing to Brighten Him.

Even stoical soldiers GOODNESS and
contempt of death i'll the hour of misfor-
tune may illustrate that lofty fearless
ness of the Christian martyrs which so
often disarmed and mortified their perse-
cutors. The following auecdote was
told of Col. Gordon, Governor OF the
Soudan, ut the time he fell into the power
of King John of Abyssinia:
The King received his prisoner sitting
on his throne, chair being placed for
Col. Gordon, considerably lower. The
first thing the English Pasha did was to
seize this chair, place it alongside that of
his majesty and sit down GA 1t; the next,
to inform him that he met him as an
equal, and Womb only treat him as such
This somewhat disconnected his sable
majesty, but on recovering himself, he
said: EtM
DO You know, Gordon Pasha, that !
could kill you on the spot if liked?'
e. am perfectly well aware of it,
your majesty" said the Pasha; ''do so at
once If it is your royal pleasure. l am
ready"
This discounted the King still more,
and he exclaimed:
What? ready to be killed."
Certainly" replied the Pasha, 81 am
always ready to die; and SO far from fear
ing your putting me to death, you would
confer favor on me by so doing, for you
would be doing for me that which am
precluded by my religious scruples from
doing for myself-you would relieve ME
from all the troubles and misfortunes
which the future may have in store for
me-"
This completely staggered King John,
who gasped out in despair:
"Then my power has no terrors for
You"
"None whatever" was tho Pasha's
laconic reply.

MANY singular discoveries have been
made among manufacturers by the cen
sus enumerators in the course of their
Investigations. For Instance, it has long
been known that dealers are in the habit
of adulterating honey with glucose on
the plea of thus improving its keeping
qualities. In Boston, however, there is
firm doing large business in making
honey entirely from glucose much III
the same way as manufacturers elsewhere
make butter from sumo and oleo-
margarine. The comb is nodded out of
paraffine i'll excellent imitation OF the
work OF bees; then the cells are filled
with pure glucose and sealed by passing
a hot iron over them, and the product
is sent to Europe rs our best honey.
The busiest Italian bees couldn't com
pete with this firm In turning out honey,
any more than could Eurotas-like
Jersey breed compete in butter-makine
with our deft manipulators of lard AID
tallow.

A PHIuADELPHIA doctor is making a
raid upon baby carriages. He says that
a child who is carried in arms is being
constantly trained in balancing its head
and shoulders, and that such infants are
sooner able to sit alone and creep or
walk more vigorously than those who in
the continued supine posture OF the
baby carriage fail to receive their mus
cular exercise. The doctor has evident
ly never been mother, and lugged a
twenty-pound baby daily for year at
time.
