The Meaning of the Word Aryan. EIohn Flake in tha FaI,rr,aru Atlantic l


 We have to inquire into the meaning of the word Aryan; and this is not difficult a mat ter or one about which there is much ques- tion. In Sanskrit the word a1yd, with short initial q, is applied to cultivators of the soil. and it would seem to be connected etymolo- glcally with the Latin 0rare and the archaic English e1r, ito plow." As men who had risen to an agricultural stage of civilization, the Aryans migh fairly contrast themselves with their nomadic Turanian neighbors who as Huns, Tartars and Turks-have at diff ferent times disturbed the Indo-EuropeaR world. But for the real source of the word, as applied to the Trace, we must look further This word arya, Ia cultivator of the soil, y came naturally enough in Sanskrit to mean 8 householder and landowner, and hence it is not strange that we find it recurring, with the long initial c, as an adjective meaning ''noble'' or ''of good family" AS national appellative, whether in Sanskrit or Zend. this initial c is always long, as there can be no doubt that the Aryans gave themselves this title as being the noble, aristocratic or ruling race, in contradistinction to the aboriginal races which they brought into servitude In this sense of noble, the word frequently oc- CUTS in the composition of Persian proper names, such as Ariobarzanes, Ariaramnes and Ariarathes just as in old English we have the equivalent word etteL or mo- ble in such names as Ethelwolf and Ethelred. As an ethnic name, the word Aryan seems to have tinge of patriotic or clannish self-sat isfaction about it. But we shall find, I think, that such a shade of meaning has been more than justified by history; for we have now reached point where we may proftably en- large the scope of our discussion, and show how the term Aryan is properly applicable, not merely over an Indo-Persian, but over an Indo- European idea. a.comprehending the most dominant races known to history-the Greeks and Romans, SIavs and Teutons, with the highly composite English, whose language and civilization are now spreading themselves with unexampled rapidity over all the hither- to unoceupied regions of the earth, which the Vendidad did not care or did not know how to snecifv

Guizat,s Creed.

From his will, drawn in September, 1s7s.l
 I have examined, have doubted, I have believed that the human mind had power enough to solve the problems presented by man and by the universe and that the human will had force enough to regulate human life according to the dictates of law and morality. After 8 long life spent in thought and action I became, and am still, convinced that neither the universe is competent to regulate it's own movements nor man to govern his own des- tiny by means only of the permanent laws by which they are ordered. It is my profound conviction that God, who created this uni verse and man, governs, preserves and modi- fies them either by the action of general laws, which call natural or by special acts, which we will call supernatural, and which, as we'll as the general laws, are the ema- nations of His free and perfect wisdom and His infinite power we are permitted to dis cern them in their effects, and forbidden to understand them in their essence and design. I have therefore returned to the faith of my childhood. I am still firmly attached to the nse of my reason and to the freewill which are nay gifts from God, and my birthright and my title of honor upon earth; yet have learned to feel myself child in the hands of God, and sincerely resigned to my large share of ignorance and weakness. I believe in God and worship Him without attempting to understand Him. see His presence and His action not only in the unchangeable law of the universe and in the secret life of the soul, but in the history of human society and especially in the Old and New Testament those records of revelation and of the di- vine action of the mediation and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of the human race. bow before the mysteries of the Bible and the gospel, and I refrain from the discussions and scientific solutions by means of which men have tried to explain them. have firm faith that God allows me to call myself Christian and I am con vinced that when I shall, as will soon be my lot, enter into the full light of day, shall see how purely human is the origin, and how vain are most of the discussions in this world concerning the things which are divine

young lady teacher of the Soldiers Orphan l school, situate in Mercer, fell in love with 1 each other. Her name was Clara Shaffer He was about to start to India to Christianize
 the heather. A correspondence was kept up
 between the two, and he wanted her to come
 to him, be married, and assist him in his la
 bors- He had no money to pay her expenses,
 and she had none. In this emergency, few

 and at once began her preparations for the

 about the time she was ready to start he was
 deeply in love with her himself. But he said nothing, and she started for New York with take her to India. Two or three days after her departure he grew Respondent, and chid-
 ed himself for having given away his chance for marrying Miss Shatfer himself. A thought struck him, and that was to follow her, and if possible overtake her before she
 boarded steamer in New York for distant India. He acted promptly on the thought, took the cars, reached New York, and found the vessel on which she was to sail Miss Shafer was already on board; he made known his affection asked her for her hand for himself, was accepted, and the two re- turned to Mercer few days ago as man and ! wife.

Bird Migration.
A Geological PuzzIe-sxvfftness of Birds
 the Wing.
From the London Standard.


 From the London Standard.
 Professor Newton considered that were sea-fowls satellites revolving around the earth their arrival could hardly be more Surely calculated by an astronomer. Foul weather or fair, hot or cold, the puffins re- pair to some of their stations punctually on given day, as if their movements were reg ulated by clock work. The swiftness of flight which characterizes most birds ena- bles them to cover a vast space in a brief space of time. The common black swift can fly 276 miles an hour, speed which, if it could be maintained for less than half day, would carry the bird from it's winter to it's summer quarters. The large purple swift of America is capable of even greater feats on the wing The chimney swallow is slower ninety miles per hour being the limit of it's power; but the passenger pigeon of the United States can accomplish journey of thousand miles between sunrise and sunset. It is also true, as the ingenious Herr Palmen has attempted to show, that migrants during long flights may be directed by an experience partly inherited and partly acquired by the individual bird They often follow the coast lines of the continent and invariably take, on their passage over the Mediterranean, one of the three routes. But this theory will not explain how they pilot themselves across broad oceans and is invalidated by the fact, familiar to every ornithologist, that the old and young birds do not journey in company. Invariably, the young broods travel together; then come, after another interval, the par ents; and finally the rear is brought up by tho weakly, infrm, molting and broken winged This is the rule in autumn. The return journey is accomplished in the re- Versed order. The distance travelled seems,- moreover, to have no relation to the traveller. The Swedish blue throat performs it's mater nal functions among the Laps, and enjoys ts winter holidays among the negroes of the Spudan, while the tiny ruby y-throated hum ming bird proceeds annually from Mexico to Newfoundland and back again, though one would be more at home among the cacti and lgaves of the Tierre Caliente than among the ires and fogs of the north.

The Night ofthe Holy Fire.

correspondent in Ireland whose remarks are very deserving of attention writes to us that at about o'clock on the night of the old year large portion of the coun- ties of Galway and Mayo were sud- denly ablaze with torches formed roughly of sheaves of straw. It was not quarter of an hour from the time that the first torch was observed before the country to the horizon was all alight Loud shouts were heard, horns and whistles were blown, cans were beaten and the inhabitants seemed to have become demented. Country houses were hastily closed up and secured; the police pre- pared in their barracks for defence, and ev- erybody outside of the Land League made certain that the dreaded moment had come. The lights and the noises subsided about II o'clock, and the night passed over with no more than the usual number of outrages. The country people affect to be ignorant of the cause of the illumination some. said it was to celebrate the liberation of Parnell, but the facts of the trial are well known in every hamlet, and such a reason could not hold water. There is no custom of the kind on New Years Eve. The question asked on ev- cry side in Ireland is, we hear, was it pre- concerted practice in signalling? or was it nian rising something of the same kind was observed in several parts of the country, and many well anected people are of the opinion that the incident portends no good. In the winter of 1882 the country was observed one night to be full of flashing lights in every di- rection. Men were frantically running with lighted sods of turf in their hands, with which they rushed from one house to another. The origin of the phenomenon was never clearly traced, but it was supposed to have been 8 man appearing at a house and leaving light ed sod of turf, at the same time giving direc- tions that the house owner should rub it to seven other sods which he was to leave to L kl~ok l.5 ceived them. This was to be done on pain of eternal perdition. That night almost ey- cry Catholic house in Ireland was visited, and many died from the exertion of getting rid of their seven sods of turf. It is supposed that it was an experiment to see in how short a time communication might be effected in an emergency from different centers of activity, acting simultaneously. It was called .sthe night of the holy fire. In Ireland no sign ought to be neglected. In 1867 the police were still in their country barracks when the day of rising came, although orders had been issued for their concentration in the event of the near prospect of what was known must come.

Why cold weather should be favorable to the growth of republics is a question which the New York IInaes attempts to answer. Says the Tunes: In our own country it is possible that our familiarity with the annual change from the heat of summer to the cold of winter may enable us to contemplate with comparative indifference the quadrennial change in the administration. Then it is in the highest degree probable that reverence for antiquity, personal loyalty toward rulers, and the conservatism which prefers old abuses to new reforms, are chilled by cold weather. We find that among the Esquinaux within the Arctic circle these sentiments are absolutely unknown. They have rulers; they know nothing of antiquity, and they have nothing to conserve-a state of things undoubtedly due to the climate. We might safely affirm that a long-continued tempera- ture of 10o (Fahrenheit) will kill the germs of monarchy so effectually that they can never be revived. Where the climate is mild and equable, man feels too comfortable to care about self-government but where he alternately freezes and thaws his uneasiness causes him to demand a share in the business of government, no matter whether he can gain any advantage by so doing or not

Upon the execution of Arm sey Golf was to be instantly shot, His suf- serings were extreme, and he was compelled to live on rats skinned and cooked by the ne- groes and smuggled to him. He not only bore this for eighty-seven days, but wrote @ letter, now on file in the War department, in which he said his life ought not to stand in the way in determining Armsey's fate. "The life of single soldier, " he wrote, fought not to stand in the way of adherence to great principle. General Golf was finally exchanged, after 8 transfer to the peniten- tiary at saulsbury, N.

Experiments by Professor Cohn of Bres- lau with the electric light show that letters, spots and co1ors are seen at much greater distance through the medium of the electric light than by day or gas light. The sensa- ton of yellow was increased sixty fold as compared with daylight, of red six fold, and blue two fold; showing that the electric light would be very useful where it is necessary to observe signals at a great distance.

If the telegraphic combination works it is suggested that it will have tendency to de- velop the use of the telephone. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that distance, say of one hundred miles, can be covered very well by telephonic communication. Since the invention was made the principal work upon it has been directed to bringing it to state of perfection for short circuits but it is not improbable that efforts will now be made to extend it's range for practical uses. In this State it is in frequent use between New Haven and Hartford, and much use is also made of it between Hartford and Spring field and Holyoke.
