NOT A FLAFrEEING ExH1sIr.

1t Is sometimes difficult not to question
the reality of modern progress, and to ask
whether it is not in the main sham.
Take little illustration which has Just
come under notice. Herbert Spencer,
in carrying out his elaborate system of
philosophy, gathered together vast mass
of sociological observations and phenom-
ena, which he caused to be arranged sys-
tematically in the most convenient order
for reference, and which he published in
eight folio parts, at very moderate price.
about social science in these days, and
though Herbert Spencer's " Descriptive
Sociology contained the most necessary
and invaluable information appertaining to
that branch of human knowledge, it was
found impossible to sell the book in suffi-
cient numbers to avoid loss. In this coun.
try, in fact, the sale was so restricted
that after the third number the Appletons
refused to reproduce them. On this one
loss OF sixteen thousand dollars, for he
had to publish it at his own expense.
Now when we ref feet that great fortunes
are made by the publication of fash papers,
dime novels, the most abominable literary
trash, and that the New York Weekly,
vehicle of kitchen romance, has
larger circulation than any jour
nal in the United States, it is i'm
possible to retain the conviction that the
progress of the age is as rapid as is CON-
monty pretended. And such facts as we
have cited are trustworthy evidence of the
actual nature of the intellectual situation.
The literature people buy is bought to suit
themselves, not to satisfy mere fashion.
The New York Weetty and the dime novels
ana the flash papers show the intellectual
level of the majority, and assuredly it is
very little in advance of that OF a century
ago,

WEBSTER AND EUBBgLL.

When Daniel Webster was Secretary of
State under President Harrison one of his
first official acts was to send circular
letter to each chief OF Cabinet office.
prohibiting the levying of political assess
ments. In this letter he informed them
that the President considered it an abuse
'to bring the patronage of the general
government into conflict with the free.
dom OF elections, and that this abuse
ought to be corrected wherever it may
" have been permitted to exist, and to be
prevented for the future" And then he
proceeded to say that partisan interior.
'ence in the popular elections, whether of
" State officers or of officers of the Federal
" Government, and for whomsoever and
" against whomsoeyer it may be exercised,
cor the payment of any contribution or
" assessment on salaries or official compen-
"sation for party or election purposes, will
" be regarded as cause for removal" This
is very different policy from that ad-
voca.ed by Mr.. Hubbell. Webster de-
clared that all who paid assessments should
be removed. Hubbell assures the EN-.
ployes of the Government that the latter
approves the theory of political assess.
ments. The contrast is very decided, and
1t is not to the advantage of Hubbell and
those he represents.

The BERoIC CHARACTER

The mourning of the Italian people over
Garibaldi has been something wonderful.
1t is said that it seemed as if every man
and woman in the land had sustained
personal loss. 1t was genuine, unaffected
sorrow. And it was tribute to the vir.
tues and heroism of Garibaldi which can
not be overestimated. Here WAS a man
whose whole life had been devoted to his
country, who was unselfish, lofty of pur.
pose, pure Of nature. He was not great
statesman nor a brilliant captain. He was
not eloquent nor learned. He was a very
simple man who had a clear idea of his
duty, and lived mp to it. Yet there is
more real sorrow for this primitive hero
