Your clocks may break down, your

The present dwellings in Quito, in
architecture, have degenerated aud
fallen far short OF that Old gigantic race
of Iudians who, with the lucas OF Peru,
Joined their cities by massive, aud

still exist vacant remains OF colossal
buildings on this roadway OF palaces and
fortresses, with walls 50 finely cut and
closely joined together that between
these massive stone blocks there Is not
space sufficient TO insert the edge OF the

YOU realize that everything of modern
invention found here has been brought

mountain passes, on mules backs, then
you understand how highly Injuries are

SOME PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRIES.

More than billion people live in peace
yet all are egotistcal and selfish. Their
eeotism and their sel6shness are prompted
by their instinct of self preservation
but controlled by their neral conscience. No
man ever did that which he knew to be wicked
for the mere sake of wickedness. All seek an
excuse for their crimes and their vices. Con-
seriousness of wrong doing is begotten OF
higher instinct than is the purely physical one
of self preservation. The faculty of becoming
thus conscious is gradually developed, but it
could not be if there were no foundation for
it in the nature of man. Then why is moral
conscience so elastic Why does it change
so essentially among nations There is a
great difference between the moral ideas OF
the African warrior and the English
philanthropist, the Roman patrician
with an hundred slaves awaiting
command and Mrs. Emily Faithful. Itcomes
from that motive power which controls
egotsm, which gives energy to the reason
that recommends or rejects, decides which is
right and which is wrong. The conscience of
the barbarian is as emphatic as that of the
modern philosophers, but his reason is not
developed to their conception of the just and
the unjust.
Intelligence, scientists say, is the sum of
our impressions. Ifthe statement were true
all men were equally wise; objects are the
same, the school of instruction the same,
climate is not so effective as supposed, for in
cold Norway were born the most profound
students OF art, and we are told that all wisdom
once came from the burning sands of India.
So that theory is groundless. Then whence the
difference? Let us explain. Intelligence is
of two kinds, sensuous and super-sensuous.
The first, every one can make use of, for it is
of the senses. With the second few persons
are endowed, for it comes from that source
known as genius, or the mind which originally
conceives super-sensuous truisms and has the
impulse to promulgate them. And without this
impulse genius can never make itself felt.
1t may announce itself in song, pictures,
Statuary, architecture, war, the organization
of masses, but it embraces the sublime be-
cause it must-it has no will of its own.
In men who have genius actior is the result of
an irresistible impulse antagonistic to their
own peace and happiness. The immediate
cause is super-sensuous idea which is not
invented, forit cannot be controlled by man,
and is therefore not of man. 1t is the spirit
of progress

He knows it.

IT is astonishing that every woman who

of an ugly woman being mentioned in a news

something about the terrors they meet which

THE superciliousness begotten OF wealth re
ceived a severe check in St. Louis few days
ago. Freddy Gebhardt, the New York young
aristocrat who has been following the Jersey
lily about the country, denied the truth of
statements written for the GlobeDemocrat by
Major A. B. Cunningham, a reporter, and
treated Major Cunningham in an insulting
manner. The result was a challenge. This
Gebhardt refused to accept on. the ground
that there was difference in rank" between
him and Major Cunningham. Then Major
Cunningham friends proved that he was the
scion of one of the oldest and most aristo-
| cratic families in Louisiana, that he himself
had occupied prominent positions, and that
| he was admitted on terms of intimacy in the
most exclusive circles of society. With but
one alternative before him Gebhardt chose TO
retract his assertions and beg Major Cunning
/ hams pardon. He thus escaped being pub
hcly horsewhipped and branded as a coward.
Major Cunningham is we'll known in the pro-
fession and has had several tencontres which
resulted honorably to himself. He was the
first managing editor OF the St. Louis Evening
Post and was recently the proprietor of q
humoresque paper known as The Hornet.

A BOYS INDUSTRY.

The LIGHT has received from the Boys
Silk Culture association of the United States
an instructive pamphlet descriptive of the
mode of cultivating silk. The association was
organized in 1850 by two Philadelphia school
boys, Ellwood Matlock and George F. Field,
for the purpose of encouraging the silk in
dustry among youth. The first crop OF cocoons
was raised from 10, 900 eggs, but the cocoon.
cry has since been enlarged, and at present
accommodates SO, 900 worms. A branch es'
tablishment is kept at Swedesboro', New
Jersey.
The association has been most energetic in
bringing the silk industry to the notice of the
public, and in endeavoring to place it among
the financial resources of the country. The
boys deserve encouragement, and their conduct
might be advantageously followed by the
youth of Texas, where every advantage is
offered for the propagation of cocoons.

A PuGILISTIC LORD.
Lord Charles BeresfOrd KNOCKS out
lem Mace. the Fighter.

Lord Charles Beresford has entered tho
prize ring. The arrival of Jem Mace aud his
MAORI novice was no sooner announced than
his Lordships aristocratic blood was stirred
for fight. He challenged tho MAORI and
Mace and set-to without gloves was ar.
and even the fashionable world was eager to
patronlze the fight. Jem Mace accepted the
challenge and the fighters met In specially
engaged private room near the Elephant
and Castle public house In the
Boro road. The Prince OF Wales was present
and was surrounded by large number OF arls.
tocratic sports and private gentlemen. There
was also number OF the "fancy'' in the near
nelghborhood OF the ring. Heavy betting was
INDUCED in, and the fun was enjoyed I'M
mensely by those present. After several eX-
citing rounds, in which excellent science was
displayed on both sides, Mace failed TO come
to time ana frankly acknowledged himself
badly beaten. Lord Charles won an easy
victory and almost without q scratch.
Herbert Slade, the MAORI, who had been
anxious to have round or two with Beresford,
looked on with amazement as the old fighter,
Mace, received the pummeling from his noble
opponent. When Lord Charles had finished
with Mace and had received the plaudits of the
company he invited Slade to take turn, but
ance OF Mace, refused TO enter the ring or risk
any encounter with Lord Charles. Mace took
his defeat quietly. The Maori seemed much
chagrined at the result Of the fight. He had
counted on getting some reputation In Eng
land, and his backing down at the 1rst chal-
lenge is regarded with suspicion. 1t Is now
known that Lord Charles had intimated to
man could always whip professional fighter
and that he had expressed determination 10
