Culture and HAPPINESS.

Now life is not only what we make
it, but it is, very largely, what we
think it is. If we hold before our
selves constantly, some dreary Knight
have been;" if we think it is, in some
unexplainable way, finer and more ex-
allied to set ourselves to a minor key
of some miserere, we may become in
reality very unhappy. There is no
law, unfortunately, against peoples
making themselves wretched. Schop-
enhaue's theory is that culture makes
for unhiSppiness; that the more culti-
waited is an individual the more sensi-
tive is he to physical discomfort or
mental troubles, and that he is there
by a being formed to be Jared upon at
every turn. 1t is very possible that
the old adage about a little learning
applies to this case. A superficial
culture doubtless increases ones SEN
sibilities in various ways without pro-
ducing a corresponding increase of
resources; but the deeper culture sup
plies these and enables its possessor to
bear a thousand trials or to discover
means to surmout them as may be, OF
which the more ignorant individual
would never have dreamed.-Boston

The Catholics and the Riel Rebellion.

A Presbyterian correspondent OF The
Canada Presbyterian puts a quietus on
the vague rumors that the rebellion
in the northwest was fomented by the
clergy of the Roman Catholic church.
Writing from Winnipeg, he says: "ln
this country no clergyman has de-
nounced the wickedness of this REBEL
ion in more unsparing terms than his
grace the venerable Archbishop OF
Winnipeg, and the fact that several
Catholic priests remained hrm IN their
allegiance to the queen and exposed
their persons to the violence OF the
bloodthirsty Indians, and died at their.
posts in endeavoring to restrain the,
murderous ~ferocity of savages, should
forever silence such calumnies. Those
men did not flee for salty to the older
settlements, nor even betake them
selves to the forts for protection, but
died like brave men at the post OF
sacred duty" Such a statement in a
reputable Protestant religious organ
is a deserved rebuke to those foolish
people who are always on the lookout
for a fight oyer religion.-New Fork
Tribune.

Fighting, Ancient and Modern.

The only difference between ancient
and modern armies is the application
of steam, g~unpowder, and dynamite
a very great one in appearance, but
not so much so in reality. Modern
armies do not need to be so large in
the field as ancient armies; yet it is
very questionable whether fewer peo-
pie are required for an effective war
in modern times than of old. The
men who make the powder and dyna-
mite and the girls who fill the
cartridges are quite as much part and
parcel of a modern army as the SOL
diers who fire them off, and run pref
tv nearly similar risks. The methods
of modern warfare are exactly the
same as of ancient warfare, and rela-
lively not much more effective, though
Just as coarse and brutal. The long
bow was quite as effective a weapon
as the rifle, aud modern cannon do
not seem to be any great advance on
the baiiste and battering-rams of the
ancients. In naval warfare We have
actually gone back again to n of the
most ancient naval maneuvers, that
of ramming. The siege trains of the
present day are just rs cumbersome as
siege trains in times when, as the BIZ
BILE tells us, mountains and hills
were made low and valleys exalted;
when rough places were made plain
and the crooked straight" Science
has not yet said its last word on the
adaptation of natures secrets to re-
sistance against rapine, carnage and
wrong, whether exercised by nation
against nation or nations against in
dividuals.. Even new substances are
known to chemists which it only needs
finer mechanical skill to make INTO

Tending civilization against barbarism
and savagery. What secrets may De,
and no doubt are, hid in the womb OF
nature, and are willing to be revealed
by the hand of science, q emily be
coniectured. But we may be SIRE of
this much; that the higher the civiliza-
ton and the more developed the intel
lect of the future the more hopeless
will become the attempts OF needy and
adventurous barbarians against the
well being of rich and highly civil
lied nations. If the Romans had left
to Britain with their civilization a
body of physical knowledge similar
to that even of to-day, the Saxon con-
quest would have been impossible

Nature as a Prohibitionist.

For eight months in II year whisky
drinking is too ruinous to be INDUCED
in by the Southerner. 1t is not posi-
BILE for a man to drink as much whis-
ky at the South as ut the North. II
he attempts it he will go under. In
point of fact, there IA never as much
drunkenness in this section as in the
Northern States. Even in the days
when the Use of liquor was general in
temperance was the exception. Down
this way all the forces OF nature are
arrayed on the side of temperance

A Dreadful Blunder.

Speaking of bustles, says Clara
Belle, l went to church last Sunday
with Just the most sensitively devout
girl that breathes the air OF this sphere,
whence she will arise to the azures and
delights of heaven. She is truly fash
ionable, too, and her summer costume
was a dream of beauty. She ought to
have been spiritually happy, but 1

the services, that she was i'll at ease.

pered.
81 can't imagine" she sadly repli-
ed; ''but somehow or other l am get
ting no consolation from the exercises.
The rector is as enchanting as ever,
the weather is perfect, my own rellg-
ious experience was comforting, up to
the time l sat down in this pew. l am
positively miserable in my mind.
Some occult influence is at work, I'm
sure"
After we got home and were disrob-
ING to dress anew for dinner, a sudden
exclamation from my friend arrested
my attention.
s.Clara, oh! Clara!' she cried, 'I've
solved the mystery. Look here" and
she whipped out a copy of The Police
Gazette from her hustle. That's some
of brother Jacks horrid literature.
How blind l must have been! Il am so
careful always, pretty nearly, to select
The Christian Union to put into my
hustle when l am going to church.
Then l seem, somehow, to get an ease
of soul from the services that is due,
in some degree, to what am sitting
on. But to rest on a Police Gazette!
No wonder the religious exercises went
for worse than nothing"

New York it is just little startling.
The recent attempt to wreck train

Sam Jones on Base Ball.

While preaching in Atlanta and
Nashville, Rev. Sam has been looking
about, and he opens on the national
game as follows:
Iwould not wipe my feet on pro-
fessional base ball player. have the
profoundest contempt for a baseball
ist, and hope they will break my neck
the first lick they make at me, if ever
they get me into the game. Your
tastes and Jones' tastes differ. God
pity a man with whiskers aud wife and
children who forgets that he has a wife
and throws away his time on base ball
till his wife has to 60 to his fathers
house to get food to keep from starv-
ing. There is many young buck who
can run all day after a ball, but who
for the performance of home duties is
not worth killing. They will 60 form
on that statement. It is strange that
a fellow can't express his opinion with
out a great big powwow. If this base
ball goes on three years more there is
not a decent person in America that
will touch it. There is regular pool
selling in Atlanta on base ball. The
same thing is done in Nashville. Pool
selling on base ball furnishes one rea-
son why | know this world is all
wrong. The fact is, as soon as any
thing springs up, it doesn't live forty
eight hours until it is rotten from head
to foot.

CUPID'S PRANhS.
A Wealthy Rochester Woman Loves and
Marries Her Coachman.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. Boa SEN
sation has been created in this city
and vicinity by the marriage of a
wealthy maiden lady to her coach
man. The brides name is Anna Nc
Farand, and John Banks is the name
OF the happy man. Her father was
formerly a tanner, and he, too, mar
ried into a wealthy and aristocratic
family. He went to Michigan, engaged
in the lumber business, and became
quite wealthy. He died a few years
ago. Miss Anna returned to her for
mer home in Caledonia, about
fifteen miles west of this city.
She fell heir to something like
100000. Naturally, she was the
lloness OF the town, and, purchas-
ing her fathers former residence, pro
vided herself with horses, carriages,
and servants. She engaged Banks,
an understood and unprepossessing
man, as coachman. Soon an attach
ment sprung up between them, greatly
to the astonishment of her circle OF
friends. Her brother and other friends
came from Michigan to prevent the
match, but it proved impossible The
couple came to this city and engaged
board at a clearinghouse. Last
week they were privately married, but
the news leaked out yesterday. She is
about 80 years Of age, while he is only
20. They are now enjoying a wedding
trip, no one seeming to know where
the honeymoon will be passed.

A FOur-StOrV TumhIe

A four-stOry brick building in the rear OF
1876 and 1913 South Clark Street, Chicago,
collapsed early on the morning of the both.
The basement OF the wrecked structure was
used as the working part Of a bakery, and
several employees were engaged there just
prior to the fall. They, however, were
warned by the breaking of walls and rafters,
and left the scene OF danger only a few
minutes before the roof fell in with a crash
and carried all the floors down to the first
story. The rear wall also fell out, destroy
ing several old sheds that stood adjacent.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, as the
contents of the building were very valuable,
there being $4,000 worth of desiccated
eggs alone in one part. The second floor
was stored with flour. On the third there
was large machine shop with a valuable
plant, and the fourth floor was devoted to
the manufacture of printing rollers. No
one was in ured. The structure was origin
ally built for Charles Woodman, by Coke
Brothers. The supports throughout the
entire building are wooden, and it was as
certained that the collapse was caused by
dry rot in the timbers at the point where
the Orders rested on the joists. The build
ing had given no evidence of it's weakness
until it's collapse. Some of the men work
ing in the basement had a narrow escape
from being involved in the ruin. The pres
ent proprietors had taken the building att
er it had been pronounced in good cOndi-
ton by the architects. They will tear the
entire structure down.

ORCHIDS AT AUCTION,
The Morgan Collection Sold at Very Low
Figures.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The late Mrs.
Mary Jane Morgan's valuable and
famous collection OF orchids was Of
tered at auction yesterday IN Horti-
cultural Hall. Many residents OF the
city, moved by curiosity to see what
an orchid is and to look at the collec-
ton, for which over 100000 was
paid, attended the sale. The purchas-
ers, however, were mostly agents of
foreign dealers. Ittook four florists
week TO catalogue the collec-
ton in a dollhouse atmosphere
resembling that OF Russian
bath. The plants numbered 1000.
OF these nearly 400 were sold. Some
of the highest-priced plants brought
15O per cent. less than Mrs. Morgan
paid for them. The highest price OBJ
tanned for a single plant was $3.50. 1t
is now the finest specimen of this spe-
cies in The world. 1t was started at

glish firms sailed in and tossed $50
bids back and forth until Mr. Bergman
stopped at 500, and then Mr.. Court
saw him $50 better and took it N.

BANK FAILURE.
The Firm of Soutter & Co., New York
Make an Assignment.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The we'll
known banking and brokerage house
of Soutter & Co. has made an assign
ment to Morris S. Miller, with prefer
ences Of 100000. W. K. Soutter
also makes a personal assignment.
The general impression is that the as
signment grows out of the legal contest
over the will of Mr.. Soutter's father,
but this is denied at the office of the
firm, where it is stated that the firm
has no outstanding contracts on the
exchange. A statement is now being
prepared and will he given for publica-
ton in a short time. It is probable
that the suspension will be only tenn
porary.
The following statement has been
given out by Soutter & Co.: "Our as
signment is simply caused by the fail
ure of customers to deposit margins as
called. Our business has been a large
one, and the amount due US in the ag-
gregate is large. When collected we
shall have a large surplus. We have
no unsettled accounts, and none of
our stocks will be closed under the
rule. We shall undoubtedly resume"

Thirty sixth Street, Pittsburg, exploded
with disastrous effect. The night turn had
Just been relieved by the day force, when a
loud explosion startled the workmen, and
that portion Of the works in the vicinity OF
the boilers was filled with cloud of death
dealing steam. Through the dense mist
came shrieks and groans, which notified the
employees beyond harms reach that fear
full calamity had overtaken portion OF
t'leir fellow workmen. AS soon as the
steam settled down a rush was made for
the spot where the explosion occurred,
when it was ascertained that the mud
drum of the boilers had exploded, and that
the escaping steam had scalded seventeen
persons. Closer investigation showed that
of this number fourteen were badly burned
and three fatally scalded.
