Within a Hundred Miles of the Moon.

The largest refracting telescope in the
world is now in process of construction
in the modest workshop of the venerable
Alvan Clark, the eminent telescope
maker, in Cambridgeporr, Mass. The
two disks of glass go to form the lens of
the great Lick telescope, which will be
placed in the observatory on the peak of
Mount Hamilton, a bequest of the Cali
fornia millionaire, James Lick. These
two circular glasses are valued at S25, 900
each, and if destroyed they could not be
duplicated within the next six months
for millions of dollars. The disks were
cast in Paris, the order being given five
Yeas ago, but the failures were SO num-
erous that they were not received by the
Messrs. Clark until last September.
When finished the lens will be thirty
six inches in diameter. When COM
pleted the two lenses will weigh about
$50 pounds. The work of polishing the
disk has row reached that stage where
the removal.of few grains more or less
from the wrong place would ruin them.
The only instrument used is the hand
smeared with rouge, polishing sub.
stance finer than the finest emery. Some
idea of the power of the instrument may
be gained from the statement recently
made by an astronomer that, gazing at
the moon, 240, 900 miles away, that orb
by this telescope will be brought to with
in less than one hundred miles from the
eye of the beholder.

THE MORALITY OF THE NEW EDUcA-
TON.

It has been charged that the new edu-
cation promotes atheism and agnosticism.
The charge is false, for if there is one
principle more fundamental than any
other in this education it is, "Search for
the Truth" Truth is neither atheistic
nor agnostic. 1t is the highest morality,
and as religion binds US back to God as
the author of all things, so the new edu-
cation points with unmistakable certainty
to Him as not only the first great cause
but the present living, acting mover in
all the laws and changes around US.
The new education in the highest sense
teaches morality and religion, free from
all sects and sectariauism, but not free
from the truth in which in we live and
move and have our being.
There is tendency to Danish all reli
gious teaching from our schools, but
there is no doubt of, not only tendency,
hut positive determination, Oh the part
of some, to Danish all real religion from
the school.room. The mere presence OF
the Bible on the teachers desk is in it.

Overwhelmed by a Flood.

PIrrsr1ELD, MASS, April 2O.-At 6
o'clock this morning the village of East
Lee, was inundated by the breaking
away of the dam at Mud Pond reservoir,
Mountain Lake, about two miles and a
half from the village. The pond covered
many acres of swamp and was increased
from its original limited size by extensive
dams built by club of manufacturers as
a storage place for water.
East Lee village, whose halt dozen
paper mills are situated on the stream,
received its first news of the accident
when the food came pouring down the
streets, the water being from four to six
feet deep and bringing with it trees, por.
tions of houses, barns, fences wagons and
every form of movable property. The
people fed to the slope of the valley,
along which the torrent was pouring,
aud saw their houses moved and toppled
about like chips on a river: The flood
passed East Lee and went on down the
road destroying gardens, lawns and fences
and moving smaller buildings. 1t had
not power, however, to wreck utterly the
larger houses, though the damage done
will amount to many thousand of dollars.
As soon as possible the people went up
the line of the food toward the pond and
found the ruin worse as they approached
the starting point. Fortunately the
track of the food was in sparsely
inhabited country, but what destruction
there was for it to do in wrecking three
or four houses along its way was thor.
oughly accomplished. Much stock,
besides property, is lost. Explorers have
already found the bodies of six persons
and are searching for others. The scene
is one of terrible desolation, and the
town of Lee is wild with excitement.
Later news just received from East
Lee says that nine bodies have been
found, and it is expected that more will
be discovered.
AS near as can be ascertained Mud
Pond dam gave way at $50 this morning.
1t had shown signs of weakness for some
time. The parties responsible, or owning
the privilege of its water supply, had
been Notified, but nothing was done.
The awful calamity is the result of care.
lessness on the part of some one.
Later accounts say that eleven bodies
have been found and three people arc
missing. The loss in property is fully
100000.

as much harm then, and We will show
our good will in trying to keep him out
of mischief. And, if ne do this, his
keepers will reward US literally for let
ting him live, and with this reward we
can repair the old cabin, and build aims
houses, asylums and prisons"
Ah! Betsey. heed not these entreatles.
But take steady aim and shoot and if
the first discharge does not prove fatal,
keep on until this savage monster is dead,
even though in his death struggle he
may knock down the old Republican log
cabin with its Democratic bark roof.
Aud may the day soon dawn when the
electric spark shall flash the news far and
wide that the old bear, Lntemperance, is
dead, and our fair land can once more

of morality taught to our children. No
man wants his child to be an educated
thief or libertine. Honor, uprightness,
and thoroughly correct moral character
are underneath all true success in the
business world.
The principles of the new education
have been so much accepted and followed
during the last fifty years, that it is pos
sible, even now, to draw some arguments
with reference to its influence on crime
and immortality. A volume could be
easily written ON this subject, full of
most convincing proofs, showing that the
public school system of these United
States is the handmade of the most un-
bending honesty and the purest morality
There is space for only a very few OF
the mass of statistics and arguments that
might, with profit, be considered.
In the Ohio penitentiary, out of 276
inmates, few years ago, nearly all were
ignorant, It's grossly so.
In the Auburn, N. Y, prison, out of
244 inmates, only 80 could read and
write.
This condition of illiteracy is essen.
tally the same in all the prisons of our
country.
In recent year, of all the individuals
committed for crime in England and
Wales, less than one-hay Of one per cent
of the whole were educated persons.
1t is not necessary to take time to re-
peat what has so often been reiterated.
Our criminals are not from our educated
classes. Wherever there is intelligence
there will be virtue, and wherever there
is ignorance there will be vice.
It is high time that the vast amount of
illiteracy forced upon us from foreign
lands ought not to be adduced as an ar
gument proving the failure of the Amer
ican public system of free schools.
A recent investigation in the city Of
San Francisco showed that out of 5,667
adults, who were unable to read and
write, only nine were native Americans,
and only two American women.-7sach-

Afraid to Give Them the Chance.

New Orleans to the North bred man is
a curious city with its strongly contrasted
population, and not the least interesting
place there is the Health Office, where is
kept an accurate record of births and
deaths. From there also all marriage
licenses are issued, and the men behind
the long counter come face to face con-
stantly with the sorrows and joys of the
great population. A marriage license is
necessity, but the absence of it had not
deferred an old African from joining in
holy bonds at different times fully 100 of
his color and kind. Finally, from some
source. or another, the old man learned
that his marriages were not legal without
the record and its accompanying license,
aud be became troubled in his mind.
He appeared at length at the Health
Office.
"Mawniu'," said he as he ambled in.
"Be dis de place whar you obscure de
licenses to marry
eyes, sir"
Then with much evident mentaLpertur-
baton he proceeded to state his case, and
to express his desire and design to right
the wrong.
aHave you no record Of the marriages
YOU have made?"
"No, boss, I have none. Nebber
thought but what was intendin' to de
Lo'd's business. But they's legal, amt
they?" he continued anxiously.
"No. I am afraid not; and the only
thing for you to do will be to marry them
all over again."
The old man smiled and wagged his
pate at this advice, and said:
"Yah! No, sab You s'pose rs gwine
let dem niggahs know they'se not mar
ried? No, sab. Why some of dem
young bucks is done tired now, and if I
tell 'em they'se not married they'll be
droppin' out jes' like tarrypins jumpin'
off log."- Cincinnati Enquirer.

"A well-informed doctor recently re-
fused to being sworn in court, fearing
contagion from the much worn Bible.
A Philadelphia girl also refused to kiss
the book because the witness who had
just been sworn had sore lips and another
used tobacco. Probably no sacred object
in the world is so abused and polluted as
the average Court House Bible. The
Bible should be the chief law book of
courts, but it should be protected from
the touch of impure and perjured lips,
whether they be those of witnesses or
Jurors. 1t would be we'll to do away with
the practice of swearing on the Book.
