A man living in Schuyler county, n. Y,
without any apparent cause, is said to have
passed through all the physical changes in
The short period of eighteen years. AT the
age of six he had all the development of
strength and muscle in a lad of fifteen. AT
twelve his beard was grown and gray hairs APP
peared. Now, at eighteen, he is as decrepit
as an old man OF eighty, aud seems tolter-
ing on the verge Of the grave.

vast organized industrial systems, with their
bosses and legions OF employees and splendid

the London Echo, which tells the story, "that
the bishop had not sense enough TO save him

NJ. De Lesseps probably understands by
| this time that there are occasions when it is
| a good thing to hold ones tongue. On his
| recent arrival at Paris he assured reporter
| of the Figaro that Arab was the representa-
| tive of progress and civilization, while the
/ English were the representatives of bar
| barism; that the war must last a long time,
and that its issue was doubtful. "Ihe French
government has been most wise," ne added,
| s'in leaving England to act alone. The En-
| glish will not have TO fight against leader
| OF insurgents, but against the sovereign of
an entire people, since the whole of Egypt is
| with Arab"
| Mr.. E. A. Freeman, the British historian,
| is still giving publicity 10 the Impressions
formed during his recent visit to this coun-
| try. He concludes that the Irish are much
| greater disturbing element in our politics
than the Germans who, he says, have come
4 to us to get light, without the interval of
| thousand wears which some OF their relatives
spent in England before their eyes were
thoroughly opened. He does not believe
that the negro can ever become truly man
and a brother. If the colored race remains
| here, it must be content to occupy a subor-
dinate position. The Chinese are still more
| incapable of assimilation.
The Atlanta Constitution reports that Dr.

sorship in the university and come back 10

| AT that time DR.. Nell had received an offer
from another college, and someone suggested

The Catholic Telegraph is more rigid than
Cardinal Manning. Referring to the Saliva
ton Army it says: professionalism will have
| reached its lowest possible ebb when it in
dorses such ignorant jugglery." The cardi-
| nal, on the other hand, in recently pub
lished article, gives a summary of the pur-
poses OF the army, almost in the words of its
leader, Mr.. Booth. After mentioning its
adherence TO the old-fashioned gospel OF de-
liverauces from real guilt and real danger,
aud Its enforcement of the principles of au-
thorify and obedience, he says: "If the work
answered 10 the conception, it would rank
high among the movements external to the
Catholic unity, in prudence, zeal and devo-
tion."
The explorer Stanley is in Europe. A
year ago he was reported to be dangerously,
if not fatally, sick of fever on the Upper,
Congo, but he recovered, and has been able
to complete the first of four towns which will
serve as stations for trade. He has built
road around the lower cataracts of the great
river, around which small steamers will be
carried in sections 10 be used in the more
than 1000 miles Of navigation which lies be-
yond. The upper cataracts will be in like
manner surmounted, and the stations be
placed under intelligent Europeans The
enterprise, which has the king Of Belgium al
IFS head, has the double purpose of legiti-
mate trade and the opening of hitherto in
accessible barbarous wastes TO the influences
Of civilization.
