Mr. Andrews was born in Templetou.
Mass, In 1872, the son Of Baptist preacher.
He graduated at Amherst college and
studied law. In the practice Of his pro-
fession he went to N W Orleans. He speedily
there gained reputation and wealth as a
powerful lawyer. He it was who first In
troduced the celebrated lawsuits Of Myra
Clarke Gaines to the courts. But in New
Orleans also slavery so revolted him and
aroused him that he became q burning
Abolitionist Texas was then m independ-
ent republic. Mr.. Andrews went there and
used all the powers Of his intellect to pre-
vent its being slaye-holding state. He
failed. Then he went TO England to raise
money to buy of the slaves, and get the
British government to interfere for freedom
This aroused the attention OF the United
States government, and President Tyler
annexed Texas to the Union That in turn
originated the Mexican war. Stephen Pearl
Andrews may be said TO have caused it.

known, more widely twenty years ago than
at the time Of his death. The world at large
is unable to determine whether he was a
crank or the founder of great system Of
philosophy.
He was a man OF the strongest intellectual
power. He was one Of the leading scholars
Of his time in this country and in Europe,
knowing thirty languages. Had he chosen
the field Of politics there was nothing to
which he might not have aspired So
with any Other field OF mental activity.
But he chose to give it all mp and follow out
his one Crank" notion. 1t was that there is
q science Of universology, or rather one
science Of the universe All natural sciences
may be traced back to one common one, all
LANGUAGES the same, likewise all religions
and all governments They may be brought
into the same circle, SO to speak, and reduced
to one. That one Mr.. Andrews called the
universal science. He claimed that he had
discovered it, and wrote volume after volume
to expound it
He had noble, leonine head and face, not
unlike that OF Charles Darwin. His last
great work was the building Of universal
language, by which all mankind might COM
municate, and be oncs more hnguistically in
the state IN which they ara said to have been
previous to the building Of the Tower of
Babel Mr. Andrews called this language
''Alwato" On his system Of universology
and his Alwato he worked hfty years without
interruption. He left his great task at the
last unfinished, but in such . forward state
that other scholars may take 1t up and COM
plets it His system was called pantarchy.

The a1illionalre and tho Cad,

The Hon. John Bigelow, in the Suther-
land affair, should have followed the OK
ample of a New York millionaire, in q
similar exigency. The gentleman In ques-
tion was at his Newport cottage for the
summer, and had invited some Of the most
charming people available to meet the son
OF an English marquis, whom he only knew
by a letter of Introduction, at dinner. A
few minutes before the hour at which the
guests were to sit down, his lordship ap
peared, attired not in the conventional
dress which gentlemen OF every nation in
christendom wear upon such an occasion,
but in an old velvet morning coat, trousers
OF loud black-and- white check, and q sky
blue necktie.
He was met by his host at the door. The
gentleman's eyes flashed, but he was equal
to the occasion. My lord" said he, "you
are presumably gentleman, and know the
usages Of the order. Is this the dress yoa

A Petition for . Tslsgraph Cab1s-An
Interesting Community.
Tho English goysrnmsnt WAS considerably
surprised while ago to receive an applicar
tion from its little group Of islands in ths
Indian ocean, known a. the Keeling islands,
for . telegraph cable to connect tho Islands
with Batavia These islands are 20 small

heavy surf beating upon their southern
shores shakes them to thsir csntra Ths
which is . lagoon. Darwin visited thsm
furnished him with his typical example of .
coral atoIl They have only 500 inhabitants,
including one English family Of the name
Of Ross, who have lived thsre for sixty
years, and have grown rich in their little
world.
The English were both amused and inter-
sstsd by this petition, coming from thsss
little spscks In the ocean, to b Joined to
the great world BY an electric cable. They
decided last August to send Mr.. T. w.
Birch to report on the islands and their In
habitants In tho report he has brought
back he says that these 500 Malays anil
Japanese are vary industrious, and that ths
live happily under the rule OF Mr.. Ross,
who, like few othsr white men in Indian
and Pacific islands, l. almost absolute
monarch Of his little domain
Mr.. Ross said, in behalf Of his electric
cable scheme, that his people in the past
three years had exported over $3.50, 900
worth Of copra, to make which they had
raised and consumed II, 100000 cocoonut&
They were large importers Of provisions
and clothing, :hs most Of their imports
coming from Batavia, although In 1885 they
imported SIS ,00o worth Of goods from Lon

his enterprising community had improved
facilities for doing business, even though
their largest island Is only seven miles long,
and the smaller ones are merely mounds Il

What reply his petition viii elicit has not
yet been announced These islands were
visited while ago by Mr.. Forbes, the natu-
ralist, and one OF the most interesting por-
tions of his book relates to the many addi-
ttons that have been made to the nora OF
tho islands since Darwin was able to count
only twenty five OF thirty species, over fifty
years ago-Now York Sun.

Going to Unearth . Palace.

To q friend at Berlin Dr.. .Schliemann
writes from Athens that after completing
his excavations in Livadia and Bnotia,
which were to engage him in April, he in
tended to commence work in Orshomenos,
and that he had given up his design Of re.
turning to Berlin in May or June. "It is
highly probable" says the doctor, that in
autumn shall begin to unearth the strong.
