Self Culture.

Self culture is duty to be practiced
by all. While there are many objects,
various designs and numerous schemes
pursuits and occupations not exactly
falling within the proper element of
many, and which only some few can
follow with success and advantage, self
culture can be effected by all. To this
exercise there is no exception. No man,
however capacious his understanding
or extraordinary his talents, can rise to
any sort Of distinction or usefulness if
he sights self culture. On the other
hand, no matter how humble the talents
Of another, however destitute his con-
dition, if he is but urged forward and
stimulated to redoubled exertions and
practices earnest diligence in the culti-
walton of those powers and capabilities
be has, he will rise in the estimation of
men and become source of usefulness
70 himself and the community around
him. Indeed, the more limited and an
parently Insignificant the talents a
man appears to possess, the more urgent
comes the duty TO make the most of a
little. He may not become a brilliant
light to the world, that being the pro-
vince Of comparatively few he NAV.
however, become lesser light, and fiji
the sphere in which he moves with
honor. There does not exist single
individual, however small his faculties,
or limited his advantages, who may not
make the most and best of himself. He
may be AT all times occupied in continue
ing aud furthering the important work
Of self culture. In private or in public

and perfecting himself mentally ; and
thus carrying out successfully this inn

scarcely needful TO say that we must
not be supposed TO mean that educa-
tional advantages are TO be slighted or
underrated, for such advantages will
always be found greatly subservient to
self culture all we would insist Oh Is
simply that self culture does not neces-
sarily depend upon such advantages.
The names of many men could he men-
toned showing what can be done with
very limited opportunities, and not in
frequently in the face Of formidable diff
culties. The age we are living in is pre-.
eminently one Of progress and learning;
this is intensely, singularly the fact.
There is nothing of stagnation In IL.
As nation and as individuals we are
marching at rapid speed. Everything
is undergoing searching scrutiny.
Whatever is passing under the observa.
tion of men is sifted and, II possible,
fathomed and none of its intrinsic pro-
perties or capabilities Of development
or adaptation are permitted to escape
notice. In such an age II is specially
incumbent on all to practice self culture
with strenuous efforts.

A Statue of key.

Baltimore Is making great prepara-
tions for the celebration of the anniver-
sary of the bombardment Of Fort Nc
Henry, and n strong effort Is to be made
TO raise money for a monument to Fran
els Scott Key, the author and composer
of the "Star Spangled Banner written
during the bombardment, while the
author was prisoner of the British.
This gives the Baltimore celebration q
more than local interest, for though we
may all feel pride in the gallant de-
fense Of the fort as a historical event,
yet every one Is more familiar with the
grand old song. In every line Of the
song and In every bar of its music, there
is suggestion of the strong excitement
and patriotic fire that must have swept
over the poet as he watched the fight
from his prison window at night, seeing
only the outline of the overwhelming
force of the British and heavy
shroud Of smoke above the little fort,
and then, when the long continued
heavy thunder of the guns proved
stubborn defense and momentary
silence suggested defeat, how he must
have cheercd to himself when the can
nonade began again, and, when the
morning light showed the American flag
still waving, only the song could tell his
feelings. That song has more patriotic
spirit In ii than any Fourth of July
| oration ever spoken; and it will be IA
national song through all our history, in
spite of the fact that it is pitched i'm n
way that strains the voice No Ameri-
| can who remembers its popularity in
| war time, or who has been long away
from his native land and has
| happened to hear the masterpiece of
| Key played by foreign band can ever
forget its thrilling effect upon him. Its
musical value Is proven by the fact that
it is played abroad by musicians, who
know nothing of the words or of the
American origin of the song. The late
James Lick begueathed sixty thousand
dollars for monument to Key, to be
| erected in San Francisco, and a splendid
arch and statue designed by Story were
unveiled there not long ago. II is time
that Maryland had statue of her
famous son, and il may he said in
passing that we need more statutes of
oar great men in all our cities. 1t is
better to choose the subjects from a cen
tury ago, for we cannot tell how modern
heroes may stand the trial of time
Statues Of noted and worthy men hav,
an educational force we cannot afford {,
neglect.

accord with the policy of this paper in re-
gard to reforming the defects In our sys-
tenn Of criminal procedure. The list OF
surety Of the peace cases which our con-
temporary has cited for the use of the court
calls attention to an abuse of long standing,
1t is entirely in accord with the movement
for reform in regard to judicial thieving OF
aldermen and constables, which this paper
has instituted.

gestions made, and dismissed number OF
surety of tho peace cases, and allowed no
costs to the committing magistrates. lie,

On THURSDAY, the Mexican people held
very curious and impressive celebration.
1t was the three hundred and iXty-eighth
anniversary of the torture of the Aztec En-
peror Cuauhtemoo by the Spaniard., who
hoped TO make him tell where the treasure
of the empire was hidden: and the popular
character of the exercises at the statue of
the imperial hero in the City of Mexico
may remind us that our Southern neigh
bors have good many more centuries of
history than we can boast OF. \ dispatch
thus describes the scene On the north and
south sides of the statue two perfect Aztec
temples had been erected, and at nine
o'clock, before one of the largest con-
courses of people ever gathered in the
plaso, President DiaZ and four members
ofhis cabinet arranged to enter the southern
edilce to the music of the national anthem
For fully quarter OF a mile along the route
the president traversed before entering the
temple the broad avenue was lined with
soldiers two deep. There were twelve
bands present, and civic societies and dep
utations without number from suburban
towns. The exercises consisted of adj
dresses, music and reading of poems.
Governor Casavantes, of TlaXcala, delivered
speech in the Nahual OF Aztec language
At the conclusion OF the programme Pres
ident Diaz placed wreath of roses upon
the statue. This was the signal for others
TO do so, and the base was within ten min
utes buried under garlands representing
the varied flowers of the valley and a value
of thousands of dollars. Natives dressed
in the attire Of Aztecs danced about the
monument, aud the Indians, who were
present in thousands, played upon strange
instruments and kept up the festivals of
three centuries ago, reminding one of the
feast Of flowers" so beautifully described
by Prescott.

quently becoming stalled. Under similar
conditions, with trains Of equal and greater
weight, the trips were made by the loco
motive with comparative ease when -
electric current was turned on, and Ia no
case was there the slightest indication of
the train becoming stalled. The saving In
time effected was very considerable.
"The current used for this purpose is
what is known as low tension current
and is entirely safe and incapable of giving
a shock -

EVERY day there are announcements of
new applications of electricity, and now
the Reading railroad is testing an apparatus
for increasing the drawing power of loco
motives by the use of am electric current
from small dynamo attached TO the
engine. The current Is passed through
the forward and rear driving wheels and
the tracks between them. "This passage
OF the current from the wheels into the
rails and back causes an increased friction
at the points where the wheels are in con-
tact with the rails, which is far superior to
that now obtainable by the uss of sand,
and enables the locomotive to draw a much
heavier train, irrespective of the condi.
tions Of the track.
"One Of the steepest grades was selected
fof the experiments. Several heavy trains
were taken up the grade at different times
without the use of the current with great
difficulty, the locomotive slipping and ire
