Souri, KENTUCKY COLLEGE. Aug.
18.-Prof. Albert j. Dabncy-l)ear
sir: Your formal letter of resignation
from the faculty of South Kentucky
College has been received. Though
your Intentions had been made known
to us, We feel that, in the circum-
stances, you could scarcely have acted
otherwise, especially when not con-
travening any of the rights of your
confreres.
We congratulate you upon what APP
pears 10 be an opportunity of an en-
larged sphere of activity and flatter-
ing prospects of remuneration. But
we must be permitted to express 10
you that feeling of sadness which
necessarily accompanies the thought
of a separation, even in business,
from those with whom our relations
have been altogether cordial. You
carry with you, sir, the esteem of
your fellows, for those exhibitions of
generous concern, which you have
at all times manifested in your col
lege duties. Wishing you health,
happiness and success, we are
Truly Yours,

There are number Of fine newspapers in the
different cities of Australia. The work on
them is rather peculiar There Is, of course,
the local news and all that, but the most
important work is that of editing the
cablegrams. European news Is of the
greatest possible Importance, yet the tolls

ing in the highest degree is necessary. The

rhe chlnaman and nIs Gods.

The Chinaman uses his gods chiefly to
drive away bad luck. He has an image Of
Nun Gun Chong Howa Pore, or the grand
another god over his bed. that nothing may
happen while he sleeps; god in the kitchen
to keep evil out of the cooking-gods every
where. But his real everyday guardians arc
not gods at all. They are the spirits Of his
ancestors He appeals TO them In every mat
ter Of everyday life. To be sure, he believes
that his ancestors souls have passed into
other beings, and are living In human or ami
NAL form at the moment; still he stretches
his imagination to conceive that enough of
their essential spirits float around to pervade
their images and give aid when invoked.
These spirits are supposed to occupy the
space between earth and clouds. Above the
clouds the territory all belongs to the gods.
The ancestral spirits and Joss are the super
natural aids that the Chinese In America call
upon. joss, many centuries ago, was a great
human dignitary, who was deiied upon
death. The bad spirits are those Of men who
were wicked In life or had some spite against
certain men still living. No one knows
whether mans soul was good or bad wbile
be lived, so his death, which sets another
spirit free, scares Cinnamon nightly. New

Old Coins as Jeweiry.

Old coins, according TO one of our foreign
correspondents, are now freely used in Eng
land In the manufacture of rich jewelry. Afri-
can gordians, Uranian antinnie, Charles VIII
crowns and st. John the Baptist forms make
odd pendants to the highly finished brooches,
chains and bracelets Of the Nineteenth CEN
fury; yet, on reflection, this combination Of
the very old and the very new Is not as in
coDgruous as at first sight 1t may seem to be.
Whatever state their jewelry or other
branches Of art industry may have been in,
the ancients, like the rnoderns, have applied
their highest skill at all times In the making
Of coins and medals. These little disks Of
gold and silver generally contain the por-
traits Of rulers or deities and naturally called
forth tho best workmanship which the times
afforded. SO accurate1y, IN fact, were thssc
coins generally made that historians have in
many instances found ON them missing links
in their narratives which could nowhere else
be supplied. We have, therefore, historic as
well as artistic grounds FOR commencing the
ancient coin jswslry, --yswslsrs' Weekly.

Tho charltIes Of Now YerE.

The charities Of New York city are almost
boundless. They run far up into the millions
every yenr, and, while it Is an unquestloneti
fact that the vast, too vast, army of the poor
are growing poorer and sinking deeper into
the mire Of dependency and despair, ma.
jority OF our people are standing on substan-
tial ground, and all, who combine with ac-
tivity and industry a reasonable degree OF
prudence and sagacity in the present for the
comings OF the future, improve, as the years
roll on, mentally, morally, physically and
pecuniarily. That this people Is making
marked progress along tho upper realms
of literature, art, science can readily be
shown. Look at our magnificent bazars,
where are books, the very publishing OF
which, the very physical attractiveness of
which, is a suggestion. Look at our picture
galleries. Read the reports, semi-monthly
at the very least, of sales of notable pictures,
running all the way from humble hundreds
to ambitious thousands by the score. Good
taste is evident in selection, wisdom in ap-
parent extravaganza.
We have salons in New York where lines
and rows OF the best works by tho best
masters can be seen. Our public galleries as
yet amount to but little, but our private col
lections are phenomenal. Standard works
sell well. Cyclop@dias, histories, attractive
volumes of poetic genius find no stinted mar
ket. Lectures on scientific Subjects particu-
larly such as take hold of the stars above
and the earth beneath, are literally patron.
lied. Experts whose Investigations, long
and patient and enduring, bring down to the
understanding of tho common mind those
wonderful worlds beyond the ken Of the or
binary, are listened to with rapt attention.
Instructive and entertaining lectures apropos
of discoveries, not alone In foreign countries,
but in our own unknown land, intelligently
put, in popular phrase and In understand
able language, are heard with unfeigned In
terest. The time has come when man seeks
to know something Of his part. The story OF
preglacial man, prehistorical mar, the story of
the stars, not only interest book worms, ex-
plorers and expeditioners, but arc found in
the boudoir OF beauty and on the table OF
the litterateur.--Joe Howard In Boston Globe.

A BOOK Publisher outwitte,,.

1t is told OF q book publisher of Toronto
that he wrote 10 an American author whose
book he proposed TO republish, offering him
a cent a copy II the author would furnish the
stereotype plates. Tho author replied that
he wanted 10 cents copy, whereupon the
Canadian wrote that he would rather make
new plates, and that the book would be out
about Sept g. The author kept quiet until
Sept and then wrote TO the Canadian pub
Usher, saying that he ought, perhaps, to tell
him that the book that he proposed to pirate
had been copyrighted in England. AS tile
English copyright holds in Canada the To-
ronto man has set OF plates that he will sell
cheaply. --New York Sun.

England is bemoaning the fact that the
Prince Of Wales has lost his skill as marks
man. At the imperial hunt In Austria he
missed four stays, much to the surprise and
disgust OF Francis Joseph. The reason for
this decadence in his ability as hunter Is not
hard to discover. He smokes too much to
retain steady hand and his nerves are not
in a healthy condition. 1t Is said that he
smokes ten cigars day and large number
Of cigarettes besides.--New York World.

GAM IN Loss.

What wrong, I pray, Is possible for thee
To do my lifet True. thou nlayst idly Stay
This love that waits not on thy yea or nay,
But It will rise to pufer heights and be
More perfect through the pain thou gavest me-
The mortal dies that the immortal may
Escape the bonds that hold but TO betray.
Love knows not Love indeed till Love Is free
That which we peril heaven itself to gain
And lose in gaining, We through loss shall find
Diyiner for the cleansing fires Of pain;
And Love unbound, and seeking not to bind
Rises above the selfhood that was slain,
A god no longer eensuous and blind.

which clerks in the various retail stores

their formation, the clerks determined
to give social and ball to their en-
ployers and friends. The affair came
off on Tuesday evening, at the Union
Opera House, and was a great success
from every point of view. The place
was over full with the friends of the
movement, many having to right

EthnolOgy and Human Progress

1t has long been asserted by ethnolo-
gists that the absence of one item and
only one, prevented them from the
connection of all living creatures, from
man down to the smallest mite, into
| one regular graded chain of animal
| life.
Many wonderful discoveries have been
| made inside the last sixty years. The
steam engine, the steamboat, the cotton
gin, the telegraph, the telephone, the
sewing machine, the seif-b binding
| harvester, great ore crushers and stamp
| mills, ingenious and complicated
| machinery for the printing of books
| and newspapers, and many other use
full appliances, too numerous to men
ton, all stand out in one mighty forest
of inventions and discoveries. Now,
many wonderful creeping things and
curious animals have also been dis
covered within the vast circuit of this
Rocky Mountain region, such as scor-
pions, lizards, tarantulas, horned toa6s,
gorlllas, guerrillas, monkeys and carpet
baggers, etc.; all these infest this great
happy land of the west.
But to cap the climax the citizens of
Salt Lake City awoke from their peace
ful slumbers one Monday morning of
late, and gazing to the northward, be-
held, what there, in bold RELIGION the
top of Arsenal Hill, stood the missing
Linck. Strange to say, the city "ethnol-
ogJsts" would not acknowledge him,
but thrust him out, as thing of naught.
Perhaps the good city philosophers
took into co sideration the prime fact
that this new-found- Linck was not
raoid, fierce, and venomous enough to
connect the great animal kingdom to
that of the human family, and that
there could be found more liberal
specimen in town. Yours Truly,
PETER SAND.
