Yon attended the lecture did you
and heard all about the mistakes of
Moses 1t is easy to abuse Moses
now that he is dead and cannot talk
back at you. A living ass canskick a
dead lion. Moses when alive, and af-
ter he was eighty years old, com
manded an army Of six hundred thou
sand men for forty years, though en-
numbered with all their baggage, their
wives and little ones, and gained splen-
did victories, emancipating, organizing
and giving them laws which have stood
the scrutiny and test of more than
two centuries and which now form the
basis of the government under which
we of this country live. 1t would be
interesting to hear a man such as was.
Moses, on the mistakes of a Colonel of
cavalry whose military exploits were
confined to a single engagement, in.
which he was worsted aud taken pris-
0oner by a boy, and when exchanged,
resigned his Commission and turned
his attention to ''the mistakes of Mo-
ises. Quite interesting. "But he.
overturned the Bible" Did he, in
deed Young man, listen: We have
lived a considerable while and during
life have heard of the Bible being
overturned, refuted and demolished
many times. Every few years some
body starts up and overturnes the
Bible, and it is like oyerturning a hinge
rock that has been shaped into a per
feet cube, turn it as you will, it is al
ways "right side up with care"
Then when we read history begin
ming away back at the time of CELSIUS
or earlier, and trace the history Of
Bible oYerturners down to the present.
we find the work of every one Of them
has come to naught; and judg ing the
future by knowledge Of the past,
the works of such men will always
come to naught. There are more
Bibles inthe world to-day, read and
believed in by more people, than ever
before since the world was, and the
number increasing more rapidly. 1t
might not be amiss for directors TO be
q little less open-mouthed and less

the Bible If for no other reason than
that of concealing their own ignor-

The circular Of the Commissioner of
Agriculture Of Louisiana to the police
jnFies 0f the various parishes is ono Of
The FIRST frnits Of the Exposition. As
we have shown several times, the at
tention drawn to the South, to its agri-
cultural and mineral resources by the
Exposition, is already producing a
good result--scarcely hoped for in so
short time. 1t generally takes expo
fsitlons some little while to operate in
this manner but the Worlds Indus
trias Exposition is somewhat excep-
tional in this respect, and already long
before i is closed there is demand
for Southern land, timber and coal.
The fulhmeaniug of this demand ought
TO be recognized when we remember
the generally depressed condition of
affairs throughout the country Just
now. If at this time there is a rush
for Southern lands, we can safely count
on al extraordinary movement in this
direction during the season of activity
that will soon follow the era of de-
preston.
That there is demand for South
'ern land the circular from Commits
sioner Bird shows. He is receiving,
daily, he says, an immense number of
letters "from all parts of the country
asking information as to the lands of
Louisiana, their resources for timber
and agricultural purposes, their fitness
for stock raising, their minerals and
soils, the facilities for transportation
by railway, rivers and -barges, their
prices per acre, whether improved or
unimproved.D
These inquiries are made by persons
generally in good circumstances, and
in pursuit of eligible homes or of prof
table Investments Mr.. Bird suggests
that the various police juries furnish
him with information about these sew
eral parishes which he can send to
those making inquiries of him.
We hope his request will call forth
answers frash all the parishes. The
Northwestern States understand the
advantage Of making their resources
well known, not only throughout the
Union, but in Europe as well. At
the Minnesota, Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska exhibits, they are giving
away pamphlets by the thousand. At
Minnesota, for instance, there are
handsomely illustrated books on the
State at large, on St. Paul, Minncapo-
lis, Mankato and the various towns
and counties, Scarcely a person who
sees the magnificent display of "the
Star of the North" but carries off one
of these publications and reads up
about it and many thousands will be
the numbers of those who, in -conse-.
qnence, will make their homes in Min
nesota.
A great many parishes in Louisiana
have published pamphlets of this kind,
but there are a great many others that
could secure some Of this immigration
and capital if they would go to this
small expense of printing information
about their soil, climate and crops,
about which, as Commissioner Bird
shows, there is great inquiry Just now.

1Eap 10 Snare ABABeAse Germs.
Philadelphia Call.
DR.. VIM. II. Webb exhibited and
explained before the College Of Ply
siclans last evening his apparatus for
sharing cholera and consumption bac-
cilli. The Doctor has spent some
time in going about among crowded
amusement halls, and testing the eff
cacy of his instrument, and he has
succeeded in demonstrating that dis
ease germs and microbes abound in
such places. In connection with the
exhibition he read paper reciting a
series of experiments which confirmed
the theory that consumption is an &C.
quired and a contagious disease, trans
mitted from person to person by means
of the bacilli. A number of the mi
crobes captured by DR.. Webb have
been examined with microscope by
Drs. Morris Lonstreth and o. K. Shak-
spear, both of whom supported the
views of the reader of the paper. A
dead cholera germ was shown, as were
several bacilli of other diseases, but
none of consumption. DR.. Webb de.
clined to say where those he had taken
in bis trap were caught, as il might
prejudice people against particular
places of amusement. He said that
all such places were equally as likely
to have them.
The apparatus is to be still further
used in examining the latest breaths
ofexpiring consumptives to ascertain
how many bacilli emanate from such
a person. None of the consumptive
germs have yet beenlcaptured alive, as
the Ingredients usedin capturing them
cause them to die. Bacilli of other
diseases, however are scaught alive,
kept in breeding-glasses and fed on
beef peptones, gelatine, and sometimes
potatoes. Cholera germs eat meat
diet exclusively.

"Second- Caroline Herschel per-

Third -Lucretia Mott preached the

bodily, mentally and spiritually, all her
life consequently "WOmen are fools,
they are bound by priestcraft and SUI

Fifth-Mrs. Stowe did more by her

es to abolish African slavery in this

SiXth-Charlotte Bronte wrote an

Seventh-Mrs. Roebling, during her

Eighth-Anna E. Carroll planned a

A Hint for Husbands.

Mr.. w. is an elderly wealthy gentle
man having for his second wife lady
many years his junior, and much pet
ted. Any expressed wish of hers he
has at once gratified, if money could
be the medium. One evening she re-
marked in her charming way, 81 saw
to-day at - store, a lovely camePs
hair shawl that | want ever so much.
Would you bring home tomorrow "a
check It's only $500" eyes,
DEAR" he replied, 81 will bring the
money ;" and the next evening, with the
assistance of his porter, he did bring
home and place on the parlOr table
fifteen hundred silver dollars.
At the sight of this pile of metal,
weighing nearly hundred pounds,
the wife exclaimed, "What are you go
ing to do with all that money ?" "Why
love, it's the money YOU wanted for
yOur new shawl" Good gracious !!
Does it take all that to make $500
Why | had no idea it meant so much.
| will do without the shawl, and will
put it all i'll the savings bank if you
will let me-" And she did so, and has
since added several sums to the depOs-
it. Mr.. w. atfirms, on his honor, that
since that event she has not asked him
for quarter part SO much money us
before the incident. The above is not
Il fancy sketch. 1t all really happened.

When to Select a Wife.

Those yonng men of the practical
sort, who are in search of the priceless
blessing of good wife, Gods best gift
to man in this life, should ponder well
the words of DIR. Hammond, who
thinks the breakfast table and the
forenoon the best time and place to
take an observation in that direction.
He thinks, as a general rule, if II young
woman looks well then, she is in good
health if she dresses neatly, is tidy :;
if she is full of projects for Il mornings
work, and executes a reasonable num-
Der, she possesses mental activity and
bodily energy. Beware of the young
woman who complains of being cold in
the morning, who looks sickly, who
eats little, who comes down late, who
appears to have dressed hastily, who
languishes "A whole forenoon over a
couple of letters to an absent sister or
schOOlfellOw. No matter how bright
and animated she may appear later on,
avoid her. Lead her not to your SUI
burban villa engage no matrimonial
apartments. She will not make good
wife. n. Y. Independent.
