As Reckoned up at the New York
 East Conference.
 Rev Dr Hill, at yesterdays session of the New York East conference at Brook lyn, presented resolution calling upon the pastors of the conference to lay the claims of the pastoral and church aid society before their charges. Rev I. J. Lansing. in vigorous speech, said that 43 charges in the New Haven district averaged $450 year, less than the av- craze wages of a common laborer. These men, said he, are the reformers of society and are expected to lead in social reform. They are heroes or they would not do it. The reports from the country ministers show degree of for titude seldom found among men. He also paid tribute to the ministers wives, who he said, were noble set of women. Among the speakers was Rev Dr Steele of Wilbraham seminary. En- couraging reports were received from the churches of the New York East dis trict and the New Haven district. - Sprinfield Republican April 3.

Turning Gray.
Viez0

Many persons begin to show gray
hairs while they are yet in their twen-
ties, and some while in their teens.
This does not by any means, says re-
cent writer, argue premature decay
of constitution. 1t is purely local
phenomenon, and may co-exist with
unusual bodily vigor. The celebrated
author and traveller, George Borrow,
turned quite gray before he was 80, but
was an extraordinary swimmer and
athlete at 65. Many feeble persons,
and others, who have suffered extremely
both mentally and physically, do not
blanch hair until past middle life,
while others, with assignable cause, lose
their capillary coloring matter rapidly
when about 70 years of age. Race has
marked influence The traveller, DR..
Orbigny, says that in the many years
he spent in South America he never
saw bald Indian, and scarcely ever a
gray-haired one. The negroes turn
more slowly than the whites. Yet we
know negress of pure blood, about
IS years old, who is quite gray. In
this country sex appears to make little
difference. Men and women grow gray
about the same period of life. -Ee-

The Opium Habit.

In 1873 Coleridge's face was sallow,
his eye wild, his hand and step totter-
ing. The cause of his condition was
no longer secret. Cottle, as his oldest
friend, expostulated with him. Cole
ridge in answer discloses his dreary
history. He wishes to place himself in
private madhouse, and concludes;
"You bid me rouse myself; go, bid
man paralytic in both arms to rub
them together and that will cure him.
Alasl" he would reply, "that / cannot
move my arms is my complaint and
misery" His sense of his degradation
was keen. Conceive" he writes, "a
spirit in hell employed in tracing out
for others the road to that heaven from
which his crimes exclude him. In
short, conceive whatever is most
wretched, helpless, hopeless, and you
will form notion Of my state" The
sums which he spent in opium were
large. Meanwhile he left his wife and
children to be supported by friends,
and his son Hartley was sent to college
on aims collected by Southey. He
''never," wrote Southey in 1874, "writes
to his wife or children, or opens a
letter from them" he did not even
answer the letter in which Southey told
him the scheme for Hartley's educa-
ton. He might have made money by
his pen, but he preferred to accept the
charity of Cottle. Edinbn,gh Re-

WEDNESDAY MARCH II, 1886.

EGYPToLoGIsTs have at last dis
covered the remains of the gigantic res
ervoir called Lake Mceris which is fully
described in the ancient classic writings
of Herodotus and Pliny. The modern
world, true to its inclination and the
tendency Of thought in our days, first
wondered at and then doubted its exis
tence; but what matter ''time doubted
Troy" until the great GermanAmerican
explorer unearthed it and caused the
modern world to doubt that it had ever
doubted the existence of ancient Troy
But now comes Mr.. Whitehouse with
good and sufficient proofs that Lake
Meris did actually exist, and he has
notonly ylocated the ancient reservoir but
proves everything true related by Hero
dotus and Pliny Strabo also mentions
Lake Meris, and Dirodorus Siculus de-
clares that the pyramids in the water
were built by Moris. OF the location
of Lake Moeris Pliny says: !" Between
Arsinoites and Memphites, lake two
hundred and fifty miles, or, according
to what Mucianus says, four hundred
and fifty miles in circumference, and
fifty PAGES deeep, has been formed
by artificial means. After the King,
by whose order it was made, it is called
by the name of Moeris. The distance
thence to Memphis is nearly sixtytwo
miles" Professor Whitehouse has DIS
covered and proved this relic of the
ancients, which was already fading into
myth.

The supremacy of the law must
always be upheld provided the princi-
pie is not used as an argument to cover
political fraud, which retains power un-
der the form of representing the major
ity. Civil liberty demands the protec-
ton of individual rights as we'll as the
rights Of society. 1t therefore follows
that the minority, ON the one hand, is en-
titled to the fullest protection, and the
majority, on the other hand, is entitled
to direct the Government without the
factious interference of the minority
provided the majority has gained place
by means which do not violate the
supremacy of the law. Writers on civil
liberty declare that the proper protec-
ton of the minority has resulted in that
great political institution which has
been boldly but not inappropriately
called the Opposition" By I" "Opposi-
ton is meant an organized party, both
in and out of the Legislature, which
opposes-hrst, on principle, and sec
ondly, from political expediency, the
Administration who have, for the time,
the Government in their hands. AS
long as the Administration holds its
power by valid and legal means the
supremacy of the law must be upheld
upon the basis of the fundamental law
of the country, which justly underlies
all civil liberty. But if the Admins.
tration does not truly represent the
majority, or has usurped that represent
alton through political fraud or cor
ruption, or by any invalid or unconsti-
tutional means, then the supremacy of
the law is not upheld SO long as the
people, who frame the laws, withhold
their hands from righting the wrong
The fundamental law Of a country is
the declaration Of such powers as the
people have delegated the Government,
and all powers not so delegated re-
main in the people. The most power
ful and just reserve retained by the
people is the right to amend or abro-
gate the fundamental law if the in
terests of the nation demand it. The
majority is protected upon the princi-
pie that the Administration rep
resenting it is founded upon party prin-
ciplcs which truly represent the wishes
of the people but if the party con
sists of despicable union of politicians,
such as Hawai- is cursed with, then
the supremacy Of the Inv can only be
upheld by the people protecting their
civil liberty even at the expense Of
overturning the fundamental law under
which the wrong has grown up OF has
been perpetrated The ruinous and
