accordingly. There is very good story of a traveller Grom one of the eastern states hanging his shirt across the window of his room in the hotel of mining town somewhere in the Rocky mountains, in order to protect himself during his toilet from the gaze of some loafers on the piazza. It was soon thrust aside from without, and when the traveller asked the head which appeared at the opening what tho intrusion meant, he was informed that they wished to know "what there was so alarmed private going on in there." In the first stage of civiliza- tion there is no privacy it grows as the community becomes larger and more complicated. But it is kept down even in our great cities by the newspapers working in combination with the large class which loves noto- riety. The journalist who starts out with 8 sense of the sacredness of & mans personality and private affairs is very apt to have his reverence for them greatly blunted, if not destroyed, by finding that the lovers of publicity appear to the journalistic eye to be in 8 majority, so numerous are those who dread nothing so much as obscurity, and would sooner be known for any. thing than not known at all. It is among these people that many of our young journalists obtain their experi- ence of public tastes and needs, and it is not surprising that they soon be- come hardened explorers of private life and cynical disbelievers in profes- sions of dislike of the popular gaze. But it is none the less true that since communities were delivered from the daily terror of being sacked, massa- cred, or led into captivity by victori- ous invaders, nothing causes as much keen suffering to innocent people as the newspaper exposures of their mis- fortunes or weaknesses, or; in some cases, of their peculiarities. The most sensitive or we'll behaved journalist gets so soon indifferent to the silli- nesses, buffooneries, or insults of his esteemed contemporaries, that he loses the power of entering into the agony of mind of private individuals whose home has been laid waste by inquisi- tive reporters; but there is no faculty the young journalist should so care fully preserve and cultivate.

Andrew Johnson's Patriotism.

From "Memories of Some Contemporaries" by
 Hugh McCulloch, in Scribner's.
 No public man in the United States has been so imperfectly understood as Andrew Johnson. None has been so difficult to understand. He had few personal friends: in no one did he en- tirely confide. He had many faults, but he abounded also in admirable qualities. His love of the Union was passion intensified by the dangers to which it had been exposed and by his labors in it's defense. It was his de- votion to the Union which compelled him to-oppose the reconstruction acts of congress, which he thought would greatly retard, if they did not pre- vent, it's perfect restoration. differed from him upon some subjects, but never had reason to doubt his patriot ism ol his personal or official integri- ty. No matter how unpopular or severely criticised 6 man occupying a high position may have been while in active life, there is usually g disposi- tion, even on the part ot those who were the most hostile to him, to be generous to his memory. This dispo- sition has not been manifested in Mir. Johnson's case. It is not often that kindly mention is made of him upon the platform or in the press. Among those who have filled high places with ability or rendered distinguished ser vices to their country, his name is rarely chased; and yet when the his- tory of the great events with which he was connected has been faithfully written, there will appear few names entitled to greater honor and respect than that of Andrew Johnson.

Callous Science.
Contemporary Review.


 A threatening evil from the side of science is the growth of hard and pitiless temper. From whatsoever cause it arises, it seems certain that, with some noteworthy exceptions, the scientific spirit is callous. In the mass of it's literature, the expressions of sympathy with civilized or savage, healthy or diseased mankind, or with the races below us, are few and far be- tween. Men and beasts are, in scien- tific language, alike specimens" (wretched word ), and if the men be ill or dying, they become "oiinicai ma terial." The light of science is "dry" one. She leaves no glamour, no ten der mystery anywhere. Nor has she more pity than nature for the weak who fall in the struggle for existence. There is, indeed, 8 scientific contempt quite sui generis for the "poor in spirit," the simple, the devoutly be- lieving-in short, for all the humble and the weak, which constitutes the scientific spirit of the age, kind of neo- organism, the very antithesis of Christianity. Imay add that it is no less the antithesis of theism, which, while abandoning the apocalyptic side of Christianity, holds, perhaps with added consciousness of its supreme value, to the spiritual part of the old faith, and would build the religion of the future on Christ's lessons of love to God and man, of self sacrifice and salf .cOnaecra tiOu

They buried their dead, and left the magnificent monuments over them which, to the number of more than 6 300 in France and more than 500 in Brittany, are now being carefully restored and preserved by the French government. Some of these monuments are made up of many

 various names. A menhir is . large stone standing on end; dolmen, . table like tomb; cromlech, . circle of stones; an alignment, lines of men,

HAD A RAZOR.
A Man With a Barber's Tool Ar
srested at WhitechapeI.

LONDON, Oct. T. 7.-Saturday's Tele-
graph published two sketch portraits
from descriptions of the man last seen
in company of the woman named
Stride, one of the victims of the White
Chapel murder fend. The result has
been the unceremoDiOus arrest of every
man bearing any resemblance to the
pictures, and great deal of discomfort
has been caused by this new phase of
police activity. Many of the arrests
are made by self-constituted detectives
or ambitious vigilance committeeman.
The victims are generally discharged
from custody as soon as brought before
a magistrate, but some are unlucky
enough not to be able to satisfy the Off
cials of their rectitude, and are sub
jected to more or less annoying deten-
tiOn. One of the men arrested carried
a bag, in which was found razor. This
suspect is still held, and will have to
give very good account of himself and
his razor. Another perplexity attend
ing the WhitecEapel muddle is due to
fact that the regular police do not know
by sight the various amateur detect
ives, and the latter are occasionally
''held up' and put to the .embarrass-
ment Of explaining their presence and
mysterious movements in the much
watched district.

ception of the husband, who was so
seriously burned that he will probably
die, at their home last night. A tramp,
who was spending the night with them,
was also burned to death. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but the supposi-
tion is that it is another tribute at
whisky's shrine. The tramp had been
around the neighborhood for some
time, and that day was drunk. Mr..
Richter had also been drinking, and it
is supposed that the farmer may have
gone to sleep while smoking. and the
fire thus originated. 1t was not dis
covered until the house, its inmates and
entire contents were entirely consumed.

Jefferson and His Sons to Vote

PITTSBgRG, Pa, Oct. 7.-JOseph JEFF
ferson the veteran comedian. who is
playing the opening engagement of his
season in Pittsburg this week, has just
announced that he and his three sons
will cast their first votes at a presiden-
tial election in November next. AL
though fifty-eight years old, Mr.. Jeffer-
son has never voted before, nor has his
sons, Tom, Charles. and Joseph, Jr.
They have arranged their route so as to
allow them to reach their home
in HokOkus, near Passaic, by election
day. MIR. Jefferson last night said:
"Yes, we are going to cast our first
votes, and they will all be for Cleveland
and Thurman and reform. Mr.. Cleve-
land has given the American people
such quiet and conservative admins
tration that it should win for him the re-
spect of every thinking man in the cOun-
try. He has done nothing to show that
he is an advocate of free trade, but on
the contrary wants nothing but fair
trade" The three sons of Jefferson
think the same as their father, and say
that if the result in New Jersey should
be close they hope their votes will carry
it the right WdV.
