The Drrvish and Skeptie,

rev. Dr. Huebsch, Jewish rabbi, of New
lork, IN the course Of his sermon last Satur
day said:
one OF the principal tricks of Satan is r.
uecoS his antagonists into the snare of mi.
pit poicinlcs. Sometimes again he puts in
.ne way OF the advancing spiritual army the
m1ehaclng shadow of some playful skentic
All gathcr around him and waste their
strength III fighting this shadow, and in the
meantime opportunities for important work
are are lost: Here is little story bearing on
TINS subject: A man came to a deryis6 and
said: i will lay before you three religious
questions to which you will not find easily
an answer The first is--You saw God Is
everywhere, but see him nowhere, The
second Is, You say the power belongs to God
ana all that is done is done through Him if
80 now can man be made responsible for his
Iee'is, which are, in fact, not his but Gods
deeds? The third is, you say Satan il made
OF hre anu the hell is made of fire What
punishment is it, then, for Satan if he is nut

oerVlsh, without moments hesitation. took
hls heavy pitcher and threw it at the ones-
toners head The man uttered bis LAMENT
ing Ia .4Hah" and went before the Kadi
with his bleeding head. The deryish was
Summoned and the Judge asked him in re-
proach Whetherthis was theWay pious man
should treat one coming to INQUIRE ahont
religious matters. The dervish renlieJ Wv
"hy, my pitcher was the strict answer to
the mans three questions. He doubted Gods
existence because he saw Him nowhere As
soon ne felt my pitchers weight on his head
nc shouted Va .iHahr as a proof that he
mad found out where Allah is. His second
doubt was about mans responsibility for his
actions Now, when my pitcher made

his third doubt about Satan and the hell.
My pitcher is of clay and he, as n mortal
man. is also of clay. II clay can harm clay
why should not fire be able to harm fire "
The man forgot his bleeding head Oh &C
count Of the good instruction he had receiy-
ed. Trivial rs this little story may be, still
il serves AZ \ fit illustration of petty and idle
questions ana doubts on religious subjects.
Most OF the gallant duels fought between
the rostrllm of Sccpticism and the pulpit of
orthodox belief, if diveSted of the dazzling
ornamen: OF high sounding phrases yield
nothing more than the meagre repetition of
this trivial story, and it is yet questionable
whether the labored arguments of modern
theology hit as successfully the point as the
dervish's pitcher did. So much is sure
the world pays very little attention to these
contests. A hearty laugh at "a good one'of
Bob IngcrsolPs cheap jests, an encouraging
nod, as to say "Give it to him % at the un-
ceremonious reply of some jealous ceremon-
ialist; that is about all the effect produced.
True religion wins nothing by this spiritual
skirmishng.

A RAT-PIT AT YALE COLLEGE,.

tAI-flI Al YALE COLLEGE.
Tho story Of Maxwell Evarts' Ra. Terrier
and BADGER.
Maxwell Evarts, son of ex Secretary
William M. Evarts and a member of the
sophomore class of Yale college, is the
owner Of fine healthy badger. He also
owns a rat-terrier named Fannie. The
badger escaped from its owner and took
refuge in the catch-basin to a sewer,
corner of State and Chapel streets,
New EaveD, and the police and
general public were much interested
in eflecting the capture of tie animal.
Crowds of men and boys gathered at tho
sewer entrancC for several days, in the
vain hope of recovering MIR. Evarts' pro-
perty. In the meantime the badger fire.
quentIy showed hin. self at the mouth of
the catch-basiu, always retreating when
capture appeared probable. On Sunday
night, two weeks ago, the badger came
cut of his hiding place and was taken
alive in Il trap and returned to Mr.. Evarts
who TOOK his pet to his boarding house,
No. 80 high street. Tho animal again
escaped, however, scrambling up chin.
nep, where he amused himself by clawing
out the bricks and revolutionizing the in.
ternal economy Of the building. He finally
disappeared, but was recapturcd and is
now in a cage.
Mr. Evarts, nothing discouraged by his
adventure IN the sporting field, immcdi-
ately entered into another enterprise.
There came to New Haven, by tho Adams
express company, a crate containing 30
lively rats. They were consigned to Mr..
Evarts, and it was soon made known that
the little terrier, Fannie, who had not sue
cceded i'll badger hunting. was to be cx.
ercised ia rat killing AS soon as the rats
arrived Mr.. Evarts' class mates were
everjoyed. They abandoned their les
sons and hastily repaired to convent
ent yard, where the crate with its
squealing live stock was conveniently
placed for the exhibition which came Oft
yesterday afternoon. Fannie was put inside
the crate and time was taken. A COM
mittee of students had first counted the
rats and found them to number Just q.
The students danced about in wild glee at
the sport. and in about six minutes Fannie
had killed every rat. 1t is reported that
they We're procured in New York 1T the
rate of S75 hundred, tho market price.
MIR. Evarts has gone to New York, but
whether to order another crate of rats or
OF other business is not known.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 9, 1892.

T:iE CALL OF THE PARTRIDGE.
The fields are wet. the fields are green,
All things are glad and growing.
And fresh and cool across the pool
The gentle wind is blowing.
Tho humid clouds yet fill the sky,
The rain has ceased its falling,
And from his rail across the swale
1 hear the partridge calling,
The spotted partridge calling.
Thro' the silence not note
His listening ear is greeting,
But hear, o hear, how loud and clear
His call he is repeating.
What pleading fingers in his tone.
What tenderness revealing!
., soft and sweet across the wheat
A timid answers stealing.

Europe was hotter for intervention. Nor
did it then occur to him that the per-
petrators of the atrocities might be an
gered if foreign power ventured to
demonstrate against their proceedings. On
the contrary, he wanted England to join
Russia in pouring armies down upon the
" unspeakable Turk" and he wanted to
have him driven out of Europe 'sbag and
baggage It appears therefore that what
was quite proper in the case OF Turkey,
would be altogether improper in the case
of Russia. And yet Baron de Worms had
just shown tSat the outrages upon the
Jews in Russia have been very much worse
than anything that was done to the Bull
garian CHRISTIANS How does Mr. Gladstone
explain this amazing change of front, we
will not say to the world, but to himself?
Here are two exactly PARALLEL caees, and
yet he is advocating as to one the precise
converse of that which he advocated as
to the other. No such instance of incon-.
ceivable and indefensible inconsistency can
be cited against any other prominent states
man, and it is the more discreditable be-
cause the only explanations which are sug-
gested by the circumstances tend to the
conclusion that his motives are peculiarly
base and unmanly. 1t is in fact a deep
stain on Mr.. Gladstone's character that he
should have done this thing, and we 90
not see how he can by any possibility be
defended in his present position.

DOUBTFUL POLICY.

Three of the Indian scouts who played
the traitor a. Cibicu have been hanged.
Twenty equally guilty are to be taken to
the San Carlos reservation, and there dis
charged. The latter have already ex-
pressed the opinion that the military
authorities were afraid to hang them, and
as the other Indians are sure to accept
this view, the result may be to cause more
trouble than is avoided. In dealing with
Indians there is generally nothing to be
gained by clemency, where the guilt of
the prisoners is proved. These. treaoherous
scouts know perfectly well that they mer-
tied death, according to the military laws,
for what they did. Had they been exc
cuted their friends would have entertained
a higher respect for the prowess of the
troops. and would have behaved better for
some time to come. As it is, the Eber-
ated scouts will hate and despise the au-
thority that let them go when it had them
HELPLESS in its hands, and they will spread
their sentiments through the reservation
Indians, and not improbably instigate the
latter to renewed acts of hostility. 1t
wonld have been wiser to hang them all,
since they were all equally guilty.

OSCAR WILDE = The Cincinnati In
guirer reporter who was interviewing Ogcar
Wilde in that city said to the esthete 81
am going to tell you something that fear
will shock you. Several years ago one of
our most promising young artists was en-
ployed by number OF cur merchants to
make series of pictures for the Vienna
Exposition. He executed the commission,
his pictures attracted great attention, and
received medal. What do you think was
their theme' Hcs killing" But Wilde
failed to be shocked. He did not know
why hog killing might not be artistically
treated. "All through Holland" he said,
"you will see pictures mostly OF brawls in
drinking.rooms. Yet every once in awhile
you will see in one of them CLEAN of light
streaming through window and tinting
the glasses on the table with all the
glories of the prism. Another will display
bit of coloring as warm and as sweet as
the kiss of love. The men who painted
these pictures poetized the subjects until
the ordinariness OF their character is for.
COTTON. This shows that they were earnest
and sincere, and that their heart wasin their
work. l have little faith in young man
who chooses what are called heroic sub.
jects for his early efforts. 1t looks as
though he was depending on his subject,
and not on his powers, for success. The
lowliest subject, treated with loving earnest.
ness and sincerity, will, if the artist is COM
petent, give the best results. just as the
p'ainest words are the most effective in the
mouth of an actor"

1t does not appear that the proceed

thieves have in any way quenched their
audacity, if we may Judge from recent
men has actually been bidder to large
extent on star routes at the same time that

a fact tend in any way to strengthen public
confidence in the earnestness OF the prose.
cution, for it cannot be believed that men
who knew themselves to be in danger of
the penitentiary would proceed boldly in
their cid business, and would treat their
Indictment for fraud as though it was
merely a joke. Indeed it must be said
that the extreme hardihood and confidence
displayed by these men from the very out
set of the proceedings has constituted the
most suspicious feature of the situation
Il ( not thus that knaves act when
they realize that the law has ~ last
got a firm hold upon them. Rath-
er, it may be sail, that il is
thus knaves act when they know that
they are in no danger whatever, or when
they have secret understanding with
their prosecutors. Government prosecu-
tions indeed have seldom proved exemplary.
OF the great sums stolen from the nation
during the past fifty years. only the merest
fragments have ever been recovered and
when some defaulter has been punished
with any severity, he has almost always
been a person without friends or influence.
In the present case, however, it is the
more incumbent upon the Government to
prosecute vigorously because the defend
ants have not hesitated to boast of their
close connection with the party in power,
and because they have openly relied upon
their past "services to bear them harm
less through any inquiry. And there has
been SO much backing and filling on the
part OF the Government Ia these cases al
ready, that the country has almost ceased
to expect the conviction of the defendants,
although there is no doubt expressed as to
their guilt. All this of course has dam
aging effect, and when the great elections
are to be held again we shall expect to see
that effect represented in the vote OF the
people.
