The Future of Our Earth.

If the force at the back of all growth.
all complexity, and all change on earth
is that which the sun has steadily SUD-
piled to it through countless ages. and
still supplies, it is plain that when this
force falls, as fail 1t one day must, there
will be steadily declining development
and a rapidly increasing degeneration of
things, an undoing by regressive decom-
positions of what has been done bv pro-
gresslve combinations through the sue
cesslon of the ages. The disintegrating
process may be expected to take effect
hrst upon the highest products of evo-
luton, and to reach in deepening sue
cesslon the low, lower and lowest organ
lzatlons and organic compounds. The
nations that have risen high in complex
!ty OF development will deteriorate and
be broken up, to have their places taken
by less complex associations of inferior
individuals these in turn will WELD
place to simpler and feebler unions of
sui more degraded beings species after

A Man of Details.

The complaint that Willard was toe

railroad management and that he really
never knew anything of Oregon and
Transcontinental, outside of making
mortgages, brings to mind the case of an
Ohio road, says the Wall 81. NeaUs. IT
had president after president, and each
one cooked his foot on the Office desk
and let her rip. She had ''ripped" until
the directors finally got together and de-
cided that the right man must be found
pretty soon or the road must go to the
wall. They were consulting in room
looking out into the passenger depot. A
train came in eighteen minutes behind
time, and the train dispatcher booted
the conductor out of one door, fred the
engineer out of another, and run the
fireman under freight train. He then
backed the train out and was coming
back from the yards when the directors
met him, and one of them asked
''Mr. Thomas, can you accept the
presidency of this road ?''
"Wait minute" was the reply, and
the man shunted three cars, cuffed q
switchman, drove two loafers out of the
yard, and returned and said:
''Why, yes. I suppose so-and the
first thing [ shall dois to fire you all out
O here! Don't let me see you around

dend.

PANICS IN RELIGION.
Rev. DIR. COllyer on the Harm Done by
Ruthless Men in the Church.


notice, said the Rev. DR.. Collyer, in
his sermon Sunday morning, that when
[ talk with those who watch the world 5
great markets they say that when there
is an over growing fever in the centers of
business, if this continues we are going
to have panic. And l answer "God
forbid, for | know of but few things in
this world and life of ours so cruel and
ruthless as a panic, or that takes the
manhood so completely out of men,
leaving only mob of poltroons and
monsters. 1t makes no matter what
form the evil and ugly thing may take,
III public hall or theater or in a church
where men go to worship God or in Wall
street; and it is no matter what our
conduct NAV have been down to the day
when we were confronted in a moment
by this last and most terrible test of our
manhood. If we have lost on that day
the quality Herbert Spencer insists on
as one of the choicest blessings we can
possess-''the supremacy of self control
1t Is all over with us the rest of our
lives.
[ notice that my brethren in their con-
ferences deplore the deadness in their
churches. L do not wonder at this, but
[ do wonder a little that they should
even by inferenc9 lay the blame on God
and talk as If they believed with the
priests of Baal that He was asleep in
His heavens or had gone on Journey.
Because if they only look deeper they
will see that the.whole trouble lies with
the Christians themselves. | venture
to observe, but with no mean spirit,
God knows, that the most cruel and
ruthless blows ever struck against our
common faith have been made, not by
men like Robert Ingersoll, but by dea-
cons of good standing in their churches
and prominent persons in Christian as
sOciations. Where men [ will not name
do things [ will not name under the
mask of religion-the safest mask I
know Oft is no wonder so many should
go apart and say if this is the fruit [
do not believe in the tree. No wonder
that so many should leave the churches
and that we should have what we may
call religious panic. And when this
panic occurs no words of mine or of
any one else can estimate the damage
it does to the world for it means that
men throw aside all religion, all moral
lty, all that is really precious in this life.
But such panics and deserlions from re-
hgion will invariably take place when we
see unworthy men who have no real re-
hglous life in them assume the high
places IN Christian councils.

Critcising 1t.

The New York Globe negro organ)
says of the marriage of Fred. Doug
lass: "The criticisms upon Mr.. Doug
lass's course by our own people are Just
what we expect in cases of that kind,
and yet such criticisms should not come
from us. We are always prating about
the unreasonable preJudices Of other
people, and yet show, when occasion
presents itself, prejudices just as narrow
and unreasonable. We should not be
surprised at things of this nature. They
are not only natural, but are likely to
be of more frequent occurrence in the
future. They cannot be avoided.
Where people live as close together as
all the people of this country do,
human likes and dislikes will assert
themselves"

Ii OVERCAME HIM.
A story of Californin's Early Days.

A San Francisco paper tells this story :
Before the Hale and Norcross fight came
on-this is tradition, almost-there ar
rived in town dissipated miner who had
worked in the mine. He was pretty
badly down apparently. but he went into
q brokers' office, and, after being told to
get out as a tramp, he said he thought
a good deal of Hale and Norcross and
wanted to invest trifing sum in it.
Two feet, at S175, were bought for him,
and he gave the certificate to the broker,
saying that he was going down to Mexico
prospecting, and he would like to leave
II behind to be dealt with as the broker
saw fit. He was not heard OF Tor months.
Hale 4 Norcross was up TO Sl2,OOO
foot. One morning the broker found
the dilapidated miner on his doorstep
when he came down to business. The
miner rose and said:
"WeIl. I'm here. thought I'd come
and see you. L s'pose there amt moth
ing left O that Hale & Norcross. L guess
Won must a sold it out, but I'm down an
I amt got cent. Maybe you'd lend
me four bits to get bit OF breaktast?"
The broker looked at him and gave
him So to go and get bath and break
fast, and presently he returned.
"Sit down and wait minute. L will
make ND your account presently" He
left the dilapidated man on the edge of a
chair He came back with a check and
sent his clerk down to the bank. The
clerk returned with big bag of gold.
The Door devil watched the proceedings
with n miserable Indifference. The gold
was stacked upon the counter.
,J,ook here. I've sold your two feet
of Hale AZ Norcross for $25, 600, and here
is your money.
The miner fell on the floor and cried
like a baby. He could not read or write,
and had no idea what the market was.
He sent a draft of $1,000 to his mother.
The broker bought for him $40, 900
worth of registered bonds, and gave him
80 400 in coin, which he spent in three
DAYS, Two bunco men brought him in
drunk and tried to get his bonds, but
the broker drove them out, and when
the man got sober he came and had the
bonds sewed into his clothes and was
East. He has never been
heard of since.
