MORALS MINUS MORALITY.

The following extract is trans
crlbed from a trenChant criticism Of
"Herbert Spencer as a Mortlst," in
the March numbered the ForiWqhilY
Heriem (London, EngIand):
"Is courage IA virtue when it means Ger
tain death to the individual and poverty
to his wife and children? Or when he
coald put money in his purse and 50 Oh
tain the means of much agreeable feel
ing by betraying or destroying his com
radeB?"
YES, says Mr., Spencer, "because it
benefits the race.
But why should | benefit the race at
the expense of my lle-the only exist
ence, as you teach me, which have!
because in SO doing you crafty Ger
tain emotions, the result of organized
past experience within you"
NAY" humbly answer, "not within
me, for don't feel them in the least.
''Bnt if you do not feel them you ought
to feel them
How ought? cannot be more de-
veloped than | am developed. DO you
mean that am free to feel them, or
should exercise my free will and try to
feel Them"
mo, no; free will is of course an OBJ
jective and subjective illusion. What !
mean is that, if you do not feel them,
your character will he bad.
"What Of that: Can help it: BIT
what do you mean by bad, excepting
giving myself pleasure at the cost Of
anothers pain? Wen, why should mot ?
Is not life a struggle for existence where
the rule is devil take the hindmOst =
"But evolution would go on faster ii
your conduct were good,
Evolution? What signifies to me
that redistribution of matter and motion
which, a you tell me, constitutes eyolu-
ton? What do | care that my actions
when decomposed into motions must eN
emplify its laws: Damn evolution and
its laws Anyhow, | cannot help doing
what am doing, and even if | could.
where is the obligations
Yea, verify; where is the obiga-
ton? If the value Of life depends
upon surplus of pleasure over pain
and social conditions are such rs to
yield surplus of pain, by what law
of equity are we bound to attach IL
higher value to the good of society
than society attaches to lis? Or if,
as We learn in the "Data of Ethics, "
factions are completely right only
when, besides being conducive to fu-
ture happiness, special and general,
they are Immediately pleasurable,
and that palnfulness, hot only ulti-
mate but proximate, is the concomi
tant of actions which are wrong"
how is it that our right action Cabor)
yields TO us toll and pain while from
it the wrong-doer directly derives
ease and pleasure rs consequence
Of his wrong-doing?
Because, says Spencer, Won labor
under conditions where "incongrul-
ties of experience" and "distortions
of theory" create a maladjustmcnt
of humanity to the Social State.
Very well, then, where is the NOR
al restraint which shall hinder us
from saying to the wrong-doer, "By

The Wild Girl Of Catahoula.

About ye.r ago /. C3tahOula parish
paper published an account Of white
girl who was running wild in the forests
and swamps Of that region. Ono foot,
judging from her tracks was dubbed or
otherwise deformed, and she was beliey-
ed to have been abandoned by tramp
women supposed 70 have been Gypsy.
who had been i'm that region several
years before with two young white girls,
one of whom was so defOrmed. After
having been lost sight of for some time
she has appeared again. The CatahOula
QiarrisOnburg) News contains the fol-
lowing:
"The lost girl is causing great deal Of
ex citement in the Swilly neighborhOOd,
about - miles west of this place. Sever
al parties claim to have seen her or 3
times in the last three weeks. The last
time she was seen was in the Swilley
neighborhood by Mrs. Swilley, her two
SONS and daughter-in-law, who say that
they were not more than 30 or 40 steps
from the girl, At one time she W as seen
catching goose, then picked and carri-
ed it away with her. She has also been
seen by two of Mr.. Tayl0r's grown SONS.
All who have seen her give about the
same description of her and all are of the
opinion that she frequents mostly the
branches and sllbsists principally upon
fish. The neighbOrs have turn ed out Sc
veral times ell masse but have failed to
capture her. but all claim to have seen
her tracks. Many who for a while doub-
ted the existence of such girl are now
convinced that such creature is roam
ing about in the woods of CatahOula.
Mr.. Jay Ellis, who has been in the hills,
furnished us with the above facts, and
stated that at first he did not believe the
story but is now satisfied that it is true.
He based his opinion upon the fact that
so many citizens Of unimpeachable vera
city have seen and tell the same story
about her"
1t is to be hoped that the poor creature
will not be hunted down as if she were
a wild beast. Ii possible, she ought to
he rescued from such miserable cOndi-
ton. There may be possibilities at least
of kindness and comfort and hum aniza-
tion for her. She is said to be about 12
to IA years of age, from guesses formed
at the time she was seen there with the
women who abandoned her. The entire
subject is full of interest and if she can

Many Ladies' Turn Out to See the Hand
some Displays ut Rice's and Bser's.
This is the season for fall openings and
the millinery. establishments of A. L. Rice
& Co. and Mrs. Bertha Baer for the past
two days have been crowded with ladies
looking st the handsome fall and winter
styles of hats and bonnets. Both openings
occurred on Wednesday and continued over
Yesterday, but when REGISTER reporter
dropped in to look at the displays ysstsr-
day they were pretty we'll depleted, show
ing that the purchasers were very numer-
Gus
There are certainly some handsome
shapes in both bcpnets and hats this sea-
son, but it is q noticeable fact that the
bonnets remain very small while the hats
sre about as large ss ever. There are some
very new aud odd designs to catch the
eyes of customers and to make fair women
look fairer still. There are several new
shades in green ribbons and other trim
mings, and they are Of the most delicate
and beautiful tints. A great many ex.
uuisite bits of hesddress are also trimmed
IN what 10 called Persian braid, and it Is
very rich and beautiful. The shades of
feathers and birds are numerous and some
of the most superb and harmonious COM
binations are noticed.
The diplays at both Rice's and Mrs.
Basr's were very handsome and tasty and
the ladies were quite in ecstscies over
them.

Upon the wool question, Mr.. Alexander

grower OF that wool would be ore hundred
dollars. That was all the benefit tie
grower could get, but if he bought, aiteI

one hundred dollars which he got IN by
reason of the tariff on wool, and would be
