Princess Lid Dolgorouki daugll-
ter of the late Cars morganatic widow,
has caused quite a social sensation in
Berlin by appearing as public pertor-
mer on the violin III gardens, concerts
and exhibitions. Her conduct has dis
guatcd her family and society friends.
The Princess, however, is an immense
card for her managers, and she never
fails to draw crowded houses. She seems
to be charmed by the energy and excite
ment Of her new life, and she SAYS that
she plays in public simply to exhibit her
disdain for the cOlveutiOnalities and pre-
iudices of aristocratic life.

friends INTO the belief that tney lnay 10

stage There are 50 many cases where,
like Salie Reber. there is no necessity for
the GIRL to go upon the stage at all, and
where it is only done because OF its glitter

mon sense would save hundreds Of girls
from an end that can not but be ruina

You. For more than gtty years | have
been influenced by the great doctrine OF
evolution Years ago | saw that the
spirit of true religion was represented by
the mustard seed Later | came to IN
derstand the large view which science
holds, and that this was only one appIl-
cation of a great doctrin. To-day there
is not an educat man under 30 years OF
age who is not substantially an engoiu-
zionist. proposed to make the apph
cation of the truths Of evolution to all
forms OF doctrine the closing work OF my
lie. | am going to discuss the questions
of the divine nature, of sin and atonement
from the standpoint Of evolution. These
discussion | will put in book and then
die. Your children will read the book
and wonder why pconle ever differed from
what shall say The new theology has
risen il the horizon II will regenerate
the word and be more powerful than the
old"

Mr.. Sanderlu announced as his subject,
The Suggestions, Inspirations, and Ex-
perieGces of farming aud a Farmers Llte
an Antido:e to many OF the Injurious
Tendencies of the Times.
He said that he had not selected farm
ing as a subject because it had not been
written about before, but because it had
and he wished to magnify his vocation
above all others Then, commenting oD
physicians lawyers, politicians protes
sors and ministers, he place d the farmer
at the head Of the list.
And then, In the most attractive man
ner. he gave his reasons. He said that
everything is SO apt to be superficial in
these days. and men cover their ignorance
by palaver and big words.
! Go to the farmer to learn the antidote
to the tendency. And then every man is
| lust as lazy as circumstances will allow
him to be- The only antidote TO this
chronic inertia, or laZiness, IS farming.
( There is also a tendency to make haste
and get rich, and sometimes to get poor.
Farming corrects the former and make
/ the latter disease endural le. 1t furnishes
an antidote to the tendency 70 atheism
so prevalent at the present time. la con
clusion, he gave the young ladies anc
gentlemen most excellent advice in regarC
to married life, There is less unhappi-
ness among farmers than any other class
of men Then let farmers magnify theil
higa calling, and fit themselves for thei
work, by as thorough an education as fo
any other.
Mr.. Sanderlin is one of the most hu-
morous and witty speakers we have eve
heard His address occupied an hour an,
twenty minutes in delivery and the audi
ence signtied their pleasure By repeatet
and prolonged applause.
