An Era Of Good Feeling,

The Boston Herald has reached the
conclusion that Stonewall Jackson was
the greatest General, ell things consider
ed, that the civil war developed, and then
it proceeds to claim that, despite his
birth, he was not Southerner in tenn
permanent or disposition. It says:
"This singular man was almost anoma-
lous in his associations during the period
of his share in the war. He led South.
ern troops, and he was born in the South,
but he had not the Southern tempera-
ment, nor was his general nature the pro-
duct of Southern training. He was q
Puritan among the Cavaliers. Consider
the issue of the struggle in connection
with his own character, and his place
could be fixed nowhere but with the
North. He was among the Southerners,
but not of them. Ills speech, his
thought, his bearing, all was foreign to
theirs. The only point at which be
touched their sympathy was in o
kind of grim humor with which he
mellowed his Puritan nature. Beyond
this they hardly understood him:
The Atlanta Constitution, commenting
upon this, declares, that abraham Lin
coin, with his easy informality, his un-
conventional methods, his grotesque
humor, and his mysterious melancholy,
was, mall essentials, a typical Southern
er. Stonewall Jackson, on the other
hand, was essentially Puritan in his
temperament and his methods" 81
All this has pleasing significance. 1t
shows that far Northern and far
Southern journal are holding up as great
men those whom they once deemed their
bitter enemies. It shows how rapidly we
are nearing that era of good feeling for
which all true men in the country have
longed for.-Richmo,ld State.

How tho Earth is Built up Hourly by
MeteOrS.

DR.. Kleiber, of st. Petersburg, pub
fishes in the Astronomische Nachricten
the results of investigations by himself
and DR.. Keller on the amount by which
the earth's mass is increased each hour
by the meteors falling upon the globe
from space. The original memoirs,
which are printed in Russian, have not
reached this country, but the summary
referred to is extremely interesting.
Dissertations by Professor Schmidt, Of
Athens, and others, have shown that on
the average single observer will SEQ
about ten rneteors per hour. This is q
number which depends upon experiment
simply. Il single observer does not
command the whole sky above his horizon,
but only some twenty three per cent. Of
it.
Professor Newton, of Yale college, has
shown that about 1O,49O times as many
meteors fall on the whole earth in an
hour as fall so as to be visible above any
one horizon. Combining these separate
deductions, it follows that 10xl00, 460x63
Tor abont 450,000) fall on the surface of
the whole earth each hour. 1t is to be
remembered, too, that only such meteors
as would be visible to the naked eye are
included in this enumeration. Every
astronomer rnows that there are vast
quantities Of extremely minute telescopic
mcteors in The heavens. One can hardly
work for two or three hours without
seeing at least one meteor in every small
field of the telescope. The number
given above, then, is clearly minimum.
Professor Alexander Herschel has
shown that the average weight of a
meteor may be taken as five grams,
whence it follows that the earth receives
hourly not less than $3.50 Kilograms, or
1850 pounds of foreign material deposi-
ted upon it from the celestial space.

The following from Texas paper

will freely confess that drunkenness is

moderate and occasional drinkers, and
booted at the forebodipgs Of their friends,
that they would wind up as drunkards.
They would meet the warnings of sincere
friends with the remark that they had
resolution sufficient to control themselves
and that they could stop at any moment.
All feel this degree of confidence in the
strength of their own resolutions at the
outset. The occasional drinker may
gradually become the regular drinker,
The moderate may insensibly drift into
the immoterate drinker. "Theappetite."
as Shakespeare says, "grows by what it
feeds upon" the craving for stimulants
increases habit ripens into second
nature; lit takes an increased quantity to

It was the shoemaker on Michigan
