knowledge With Intelligence.

A man may have intelligence, and
can scarcely be without knowledge. A
man may have good deal of knowl-
edge and hardly have much intelligence.
We see multitudes coming out of our
colleges every year with a good deal OF
knowledge and very little common
sense. We see men that have plunder-
ed right and left through the whole Of
history and in all directions; but they
are not intelligent men after all. They
do not know what to do with it, and
they are no more rich in knowledge
than the ass that carries gold from the
mine TO the mint is a rich ass. But
where one has both intelligence and
knowledge and where he is growing in
them both. that is transcendently
noble thing. 1t is said, in the eager
ness of some men for religion, that in
telligcnce, or education, without re-
ligion, is prcjudicial; and it has even
been said that intelligence without re-
ligion is educated vice. Truth is sacri-
feed here to phrase. 1t is the di-
rect tendency of intelligence and
knowledge 10 produce morality. l
aver, without fear of contradiction,
that if you take the statistics of vice
and of terrible crime you will find that
by far the largest number of those that
have stumbled on the threshold of life
and are ruined for life were men with
out knowledge and without any reason
able degree of education. They are
poor, Ignorant creatures, that have fol-
lowed their passions. l declare that
education, or the development of the
knowing parts of man, gives to him
SO large q view of the field of life that
he is more likely to see that morality
is safety, than if he were ignorant; and
that the general fact stands proved that
intelligence and knowledge tend on the
whole by immense measure toward
goodness, respectability, virtue and
morality. So that if we shall grow in
knowledge and grow in aptitude for in
telligence and knowledge, we shall
make a long stride away from animal
ism and from the dangers that beset
the passions and the appetites of human
life.
There is, therefore, in our great
land, good deal of reason why we
should bring to bear on all classes of
men-the sweaty laborer of the farm,
the dusty men at the smithy or IN the
mine, everywhere, up and down,
through society-we should exhort men
to abate their passions and to learn
pleasure out of the development of IN
tellcct and knowledge. There is no
reason in this land why men should be
ignorant except original limitations OF
capacity. We are reading people,
and if we were thinking people in the
same ratio with which we read we
should be very wise people. The
food for knowledge was never SC
abundant. Henri Ward Beecher.

A Southern Zouaye.

When the war broke out the masses
of the people on both sides of the Poto-
mac knew very little about each other.
They did not travel, mix and mingle.
The stay -at-home Southern took par
tisan and sectional view Of the North;
and the stay-at-bome Northerner took
a partisan and sectional view of the
South.
We believed that the typical North
erner was tall, hatchet-faced, blue-eyed
and light-haired. It took long time
to convince us that the North was
mainly made up of brunettes, while the
South was the home for the blondes.
When the Louisiana Tiger Zouaves
came through here about the first year
of the war they were critically examin-
ed One. of our citizens picked out q
chunky, swarthy black-haired zouave,
| and remarked to the crowd:
'Thcre is a specimen of the pure
Southern type. There is no installing
it anywhere. Such man could not be
born under Northern skies. He is eth
er Il creole of Louisiana, a Spaniard,
Frenchman or Greek. I will set
tie the matter right now.''
Walking up to the soldier he opened
a conversation with him, and finally
asked him to name the State Of his
birth.
.'Well,'' said the zouaye hesitatingly,
II don't know that it makes any differ
| ence, but it may surprise you little. ]
was born in the State of Name
There was painful pause in the con-
yersation for moment, and then our
Atlanta man asked:
"Well, how in the blazes do you hap
pen to belong to this crowd?''
"Oh, that's all right" was the an
swer. '.Yon see that Pm sailor. I
was paid of in New Orleans about u
month before the war opened. | frol-
licked around until my money was all
gone, and when | came to myself the
trouble had commenced. Well, l want
ed to see some fun, and as the boys
were good fellows 1 joined them. =
The disappointed citizen could not
resist the temptation to fire a parting
shot.
Perhaps" said he, ''you did not
much care which flag you fought un-
derp'
'.AIe? No." was the prompt response.
1t is needless to say that this zouave,
who looked so typically Southern. was
forthwith dropped like hot potato.

great care, but presently one foot

you're dead outsider. The Old Del
inonico saloon stood at Ninth and Chest
nut, on ground now covered by the
postoffice. There was an enormous cat
there which was as we'll known to the
FOUNDERS as even the 'night-hawks' or
the roughs who in those days made
that locality notorious. The cat was
full of tricks, and allowed nobody cx-
cept the bartender to touch him. One
OF his favorite fcats was to pick up a
silver quarter from the smooth marble
top of the bar. OF course he could not
take it up in his mouth, as it would lie
too fiat on the stones surface So he
would carefully push the coin along
with his feet until it projected over the
edge of the marble when he would
catch it between his fore paws, and,
squatting on his launches. would hold
ii up for inspection. He was fond OF
promenading up and down the narrow
shelf back of the bar. where fine fancy
glassware was stacked up many tiers
high for ornament, and he was never
known to break o glass or displace an
article. "-fhiiaaelphia Press.

Letter Writing.

The character and style OF letter
writing changes quite as much as any
thing else in the world OF fashion. The
neatly written, closely lined epistles oil
former times look as provincial now
;ls bygone costumes. The present
mode is OF a dashy style. quite in
keeping with the spirit OF the times.
Rough Irish linen paper unruled, a
"stub" pen and asprawling chrosraphy
90 to make up the hurried notes one
receive, nowadays in lieu OF the long
friendly letter Of olden times The
art OF correspondence which used to
be considered one OF the greatest ac-
complishments our grandmothers pos
sessed, may be recovered among the
lost arts.
AT the present day the society
woman has no time for letter writing,
but when necessity demands her writ
ing at all she sits down in hurry OF
tie moment and with buslnes-ike
alr dashes off a note covering several
pages, 1t is true, but containing about
as much matter as could easily be put
upon the despised postal card, and
then her duty is done. The old say
ing hat a letter shows the character
OF the one to whom it is written, if it
be true would argue the modern So
ciety woman is trille to blase, or too
fast, one or the other. There is as
much character in q woman S writing
as in her voice, and one feels a little
awed upon opening a modern billet
doux, i'll character like a printed pla-
card as he would on hearing coarse,
aruf voice proceed from the rosy lips
OF a fair woman. In some things we
advance backward like crab.

The Wealth of Old England
Letter to Cleveland Leader.

Letter to Cleveland Leader.
Napoleon scornfully remarked that
England was simply nation ofshop-
keepers. More properly speaking,
she is a nation of shopkeepers, great
merchants, manufacturers, and ship
owners, and she is literally the work
shop o! the world as well as the iinan-
cial and commercial center. Her
great wealth therefore, is simply the
accumulations for hundreds OF years
and is now increasing at the rate OF
$6oo,0OO, 900 year, being the net
profit of all her industrial and com
nercial enterprises. This will explain
the low rate OF interest existing there
and the difficulty OF finding profitable
and safe investments for the great sur
plus which is the result OF the vast ac-
cumulations constantly going on.
Hence it is that her capitalists make
such foolish investments in the bonds
OF Egypt, Turkey, Honduras Mexico,
Peru, and other bankrupt nations, as
well as in her investment III the bonds
OF the late deceased Confederacy. At
the present rate other accumulations,
in twenty-five years she will have ac.
cumulated fifteen thousand millions
more OF wealth, and how she will be
able to invest all her spare cash is a
problem hard to solve.

John RuslSin on Church Debts

to debt. Starve, and go to heaven;
but don't borrow. Try first begging
l don't mind, if it's really needfuI,
stealing. But don't buy things you
can't pay for And OF all manner OF
debtors, pious people building churches
they can't pay for are themost detest-
able nonsense to me. Can't you
preach and pray behind the hedges, or
in a sandpit, or in q coalhole first?
And of all manner OF churches thus
ldiotically built, iron churches are the
damnablest to me. And OF all the
sects and belleversin any ruling spirit,
Hindoos, Turks, Feather Idolators
