Before Adiourning the other day,
the Presbyterian Assembly in Phil
adelphia did two very creditabie
things. One was to pass resolution
10 which a very pretty tribute was
paid to the memory of the Union

time was quite appropriate, The
second act was to strike out of the
resolution the world rebellion, "
inserting therefore 'civil war"
This will not Pile Sc some OF the
people who wave the bloody shirt,
but it was very sensible act, new

The servile adulation which is
paid Sam Randall by two or three
Georgia editors is absolutely revolt
ing to ordinary decency.-Cuth-
bert Enterprise and Appeal.
If it is "adulation and absolutely
revolving to ordinary decency," to
stand by a man on his past record,
when that record is a pure one so
tar as it relates to the Democratic
party and to the South, then the
e litor Of the Cuthhert Enterprise

differs from mapy OF us in regard
to the tariff question, nevertheless,
it is not likely that Mr.. Randall will
be voted out Of the Democratic

A Glance at the Camel.

A camel's hind legs will reach any
where-over his head, round his chest,
and on to his hump; even when lying
down an evil disposed animal will shoot
out his legs and bring you to a sitting
posture. His neck is of the same pill
ancy. He will chew the root of his tail,
nip you in the calf, or lay the top of his
head on his hump. He also bellows and
roars at you, whatever you are doing
saddling him, feeding him, mounting
him, unsaddling him. To the uninitiated
camel going for one with his mouth
open and gurgling horribly is terrify-
ing spectacle; but do not mind him, it is
only his way. l heard of one or two
men having leg broken from kick at
various times, but it was the exception
and not the rule. for camel is really a
very docile animal, and learns to behave
himself in most trying positions with
equanimity, though fear it is only the
result of want of brains.-Count Glei-
chen.

The establishment and maintenance Of
a geological garden is as much part of
the proper work of government as build
ing schools or sending out scientific sur
veys. 1t is q source of instruction to the
people and an aid to the development of
science, especially in this country, by
preserving many species of wild animals
from extinction. The buffalo is already
regarded as an extinct animal. Not one,
1t Is said by competent authority, remains
in the British possessions on this CONT
nent; and in this country there are two
small herds, one in Texas and the other
in the Yellowstone park, numbering to-
gether not more than 1875. The leading
scientists, not only Of America, but Of
Europe, have been calling upon our gov
eminent for years to preserve the bison
from extinction, as the Russian govern
ment has done with the European bison
or aurochs.
1t is said that, at the present rate of
progress, the remarkable Rocky noun
tain goat will be extinct within five
years. Among the quadrupeds that are
fast dying off are the elk. moose, ante
lope, caribou. black tailed deer grizzly
bear, wolf, beaver, otter and wolverine
The delay of few years may mean the
complete disappearance of some or most
Of these. and a gap in the history of the
animal life of this continent that can
never be filled.-New Orleans Picayune.

Concerning Charms and Amuiets.

A recent writer in an English magazine
tells of the superstitions among the
gypsies and other half civilized races con-
corning charms or amulets. "a coin or
a pebble carried long in the pocket, or
around the neck, is supposed to become
imbued with the personality of the
wearer." These amulets are believed to
have will of their own, to feel affection
for their owner, and to cherish a hatred
toward his enemies. Not only the
gypsies but Indian, Asiatic and African
tribes wear little tokens ''for luck" be-
heving in their possession Of dumb, half
conscious intellect. In some savage tribes
man is known by his charm" or
fetch. "
Our ancestors were not altogether free
from this superstition. The pouncets
carried in gold and silver boxes in the
pockets Of fine ladies were withered ap-
pies stuck full Of spices, which, after long
use. were supposed to become imbued
with the vitality or animal strength of the
wearer, and to ward off disease from her.

FROM NEW YORK TO LONDON BY
RAIL

People will, instead of risking the dan
gers of an Atlantic trip and the horrors
of NAL de mer, as we'll as for the purpose of
saving time, leave New York for London
via Portland and ST. Petersburg, and thus
will be exemplified more fully the great
speech of Senator Benton, when in point
ing from Washington toward the Pacific,
he exclaimed: "There lies the East;
there lies India
There are now two lines of railway
rnnuing eastward from ST. Petersburg
toward the Ural mountains, one termin-
ating at Orenburg and the other at Eka-
terinburg, and the Gar has lately APP
proved Of a plan to build railway con-
tinuing from the UTal mountains to the
Pacific ocean, distance of about 1000
miles, including the 1900 miles already
constructed from st. Petersburg to the
Ural. This road will have its eastern
terminus at Vladivostock, which is stu
ated at the furthest southern extremity
of Russian territory lying on the Pacific
coast on that side. This, Of itself, Will
much shorten the trip from st. Peters
burg to American Pacific coast ports, SUI
perinducing, as it will, line OF steamers
| from Vladivostock to American ports,
across much narrower portion OF the
Pacific ocean than that of the course OF
| the steamers now plying between van
couver and Yokohama.
But In a little time, comparatively, the
route will be all rail from ST. Petersburg
to New York. The generation now grow,
ing up will make the trip.-lfortiahd
