As Vanderbilt University was built
with New York money, it looks little
queer to see the following in the Van
derb5h Observer, monthly published at
this institution
We are not base mendicants, but freemen,
the sons Of noble and valiant sires Let the
South be for Southernersl Let that same chiv-
alrous, loyal, brave, and true people which were
here when the first guns Numbered at Sumter
live in it forever, untainted by the baneful in e
fluence Of Yankee principles Forced though
we were by superior numbers to submit, after
having fought like freemen-aye, like giants
for the right still the same spirit which fred
the breast Of him who first sounded the tocsin OF
war and called brave people to the battle
field, lives and rebukes the base sycophant who
continually calls for aid"
This is pretty good.

M. REcLUs, the great French geogra-
pher, has no faith in the Republic. He
remarked to correspondent of the Lon
don Daily NelOS.
Ministers are not ephemeral he said, because
the ministers of to-day are more bete than their
predecessors. Louis Quatorze could send men
to the Bastille or make war with a nod. not
because he was backed by bayonets and fat
tered by courters, but because the nation be-
lieved In him. Now the nation believes in
nothing-Reither in the power of the Church to
make them happy in another world, nor in the
power Of Governments to make them prosper
Gus in this. On the other hand faith in the
solidarity Of the human race, in individual eft
fort as opposed to administrative interferences
in selfhelp, and the principle of fraternity is
increasing. The end, as M. Reclus conceives,
will be Communism and he afirms that even
the peasantry of France are much more in favor
of Communism than is generally supposed. He
has gone much among them, and not few, he
says, are convinced that they have more to
hope than to fear from that naturalization of
the land which will be one Of the great achieve
ments of the social revolution.
That is the trouble with France. The
sentiment of faith is dead. They have
abandoned Christianity, and the conse-
quence is upon them-they have sowed
the wind, and reap the whirlwind.

THE following from Joseph Cooks last

THE following from Joseph Cooks last
lecture applies chiefly to city life:
The two worst evils of our time inside the
domain of Christendom are probably luxurious
living among church members and loose think
ing among religious teachers And when the
two go together and we have religious club
instead in which, of course
sappose that there
are any sinners, club that has forgotten that
all meu are brethren and that the business of
the church is to stand between the living and
the dead when we have number of such
churches connected by close social ties and, per-
haps, giving direction to great central currents
in the religious life of city, the time then has
come to awaken all the powers of the pulpit
and the press and the platform against the
choking of Gods most holy truth by purse
strings and by ribbons and by dashes of the
lavender waters of liberalism 1 am speaking
very frankly; but the truth is, that the case
needs stern surgery. Our population is a fifth
in large cities, and under the voluntary system
in the United States it is likely to be our pre-
vailng trouble that, when Judas carries the
bag and betrays his Lord, he will not always
have the grace to go and hang himself laugh
ter, and you will not have the grace to hang
him.

that the holding of the State Church Diet

A Small Sheet that Realized $3.50 for
the Church Fund.

"Vanity Fair" the paper published
by Mrs. Milton K. Pinney for the
benefit Of the Ladies' Fair in aid of
the erection Of an Episcopal church
in HALEY, realized $40. Of this
amount $40 was paid for printing,
leaving $3.50 net profit, which has
been turned over to the church to the
last cent. The result is as gra flying
to the talented woman who edited and
published the paper as it is satisfac-
tory to the friends of tho church.
The paper itself was as bright and
witty production as it has ever been
the writer's good fortune to read.
Every line of it was original, and
every word of it in the most perfect
taste-tAus evincing an ability far
above the average.
This, Mrs. Pinney's first appearance
in print, having been so successful, it
is to be hoped that she will thereby be
encouraged to become a contributor
to tie pr IS. Such ability as hers
should not be permitted to remain un.
honored through lack of manifesto.
ton.
The original plan of the paper was
changed to the extent of having over
half OF it in much smaller type than at
FIRST intended, and the paper upon
which it was printed had to he pro.
cured from Chicago by express and
ordered by telegraph. This increased
the cost by $3.50, which was repeat
eddy tend red by Mrs. Pinney, but re-
fused. That, and the time devoted to
preparing the articles for the printers
(which, owing to tie very accurate
manner in which Mrs. Pinney wrote
and even punctuated her "copy," was
much less than would be required in
preparing the "copy'' of the majority
of working newspaper men) is the
TIMEs's sole contribution to "Vanity
Fair" Mrs. Pinney is therefore en-.
titled to all the credit which the pro.
duction deserves.
