ing process. The enthusiasm Of his humanity
has decided flavor Of insanity. 1t is incon :
ceivable that anybody in healthy and we'll
balanced mental or moral condition
can weigh the life of a beast against that of
an innocent and afflicted woman, as he does.
His argument goes straight to the conclusion
that the Hindoo Brahmin has maintained for
ages--sit is unlawful to take the life Of any liy-

Mr.. Bergh cannot swallow a bit of steak or chop
without literally s1ying in his throat as
Shakespeare says. If human strength, wasted
by disease, may not be restored by the direct
transfer of muscle to the tissues of the arm or
leg, by what logical process can it be properly
transferred to the stomach and conveyed to
all the tissues by digestion and circulation?
Such folly as this may be easily forgiven to
such man as Henry Bergh, but it is just as
well to note that it is egregious folly, in spite
of the sense and service Of so much that he
has done

Whatever the scheme, the same thought runs
through all-poet, pietist, theologue. scien-

the present should see this, and net 60 to

their study and their ministration relate

the people to trust in and ennoble themselves,

Teach them to reconcile, each for himself, the
various claims and counter claims of thought

THE FOLLY OF HOBBIES.

The headlong energy of enthusiasm in good
ways and works has filed the world with noble
deeds, and covered infinite misery with benefi-
cent systems and institutions; but it is liable,
like all unrestrained or ill regulated force, to
do foolish things, and sometimes mischievous
things, even when moving in benefcent
course to good ends. A farmers plow may
drive ahead in the furrow with the single
purpose Of making good crop, and uproot a
sprout that in the next generation would
make tree worth half Of his farm. The man
of zone idea" is a power, if his idea is good
one, but he is very sure to be
blind to other ideas that may be
quite as good. Henry Bergh's humanity
has done incalculable good within its
province, but he can see nothing beyond The
line of his settled action, and consequently
sometimes runs across the path or runs over
other duties equally entitled to consideration.
The most striking illustration we have ever
seen Of the folly into which self-concentrated
feeling and purpose may fall appears in Mr..
Berghs indignant denunciation of the surgeons
of Bellevue Hospital for grating portion of
the muscle of living dog-placed under the
influence of ether, however-upon the para
lyzed and useless muscle Of the arm of a
young woman-also under the influence Of
ether--who was wholly dependent on
her labor for support and had been
for months helpless and supported
by charity. The operation restored consid-
cradle measure OF activity to the paralyzed
limb, and promises to enable her torecoveren-
tirely, and support herself. Is dog SO valu-
able that its muscle, or its life, should not be
taken to restore the strength or save the life
of human being. Common sense and COM
mon humanity say mo; no dogs life or suf-
fering can be set against the life or suffering
of human being fit to live But Mr.. Bergh
says Eyes; let the helpless, suffering woman
suffer and live pauper rather than make a
dog suffer to save her." even when an an@s-
thotic secures both from suffering in the saw

1t may be proper to bar women out from all
participation in political, medical or legal
gatherings, but if they have any rights beyond
that Of mere existence, one would seem to be

affairs. Women are in the majority in all
religious bodies. are equally active and zeal
Gus with the brethren in their efforts to ad
vance all evangelistic work, and naturally
have deep interest in the methods adopted
and used in the extension Of Christian teach
ings. Nevertheless, a narrower prejudice
exists among church authorities against the
admission Of women to the dignity Of advis-
ers and assistants than in any other profess
sion. The woman shall not only remain silent
in the churches, as directed by that eminent
mugwump, st. Paul, but she shall not be adj
mitted at all except in the capacity of an
humble learner, and one willing to accept un-
questioned the edicts of the pulpit. The
clergyman who voted against the admission of
two women delegates to the Southern Baptist
convention voiced the sentiment of the major
ity when he urged that as consequence of
their acceptance. eve shall be flooded with
them next year" Had this religious ''leader'
been talking of a revival meeting instead Of a
convention he would not have referred to
women in this contemptuous manner In
connection with revival they would be

learned, venture past the line they have laid
down, and vealy theologians, new to the pull

by long habit, rise instantly in alarmed pro-

authority are so strong that women are slow
to break them, but signs of rebellion here and
there show that they are not satisfied with the
existing condition of things, and will sooner
or later demand the right of participation in

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, May 9.-Senator Evarts, chair
man of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund, is advised
that portions of the Statue of Liberty Enlight-
ening the World will be shipped to America on
Monday next, and that the rest will be started
about week later. The pedestal will not be
ready much before the middle of summer. and
would not be then were it not for the strangely
successful effort of the New York World to raise
the hundred thousand dollars required to COM
plete the work. The Worlds fund amounts to-
night to about $45, 900. 1--WE have no desire to

dollar were especially requested. A corps OF
these solicitors was engaged, provided

night. He has been in this city
something over two weeks, and at
the time he took the drug was at

he designed to commit suicide. Af>
ter drinking the drug he told the
old woman what he had done, and
throwing himself on a bed, said he
would be dead before morning. The
old woman became frightened and
sent word to police headquarters be-
tween 8 and 10 p. m. Officers went
down and removed the young man
to the City Hall and summoned a
physician. He escaped death, but
remained in a half crazed condition
all day, at the City Hall. Watchs

eaten for twenty. four hours. Re-
