In some men the destructive propen.
sity is largely developed. They take
supreme delight in undermining old
opinions and beliefs and institutions
without particular concern about the
consequences. They are not seekers
after truth, but champions of destruc-
ton. On this line the recent Centen-
NAL has. brought out the denial of the
Christian life and Church relationship
of George Washington. One E. A.
Stevens, of the Chicago Secular Union
in an address delivered in that city on
Sunday evening, April %, declared
that Washington was not a Christian.
A writer in the New York Indepen'
dent claims to have good authority for
saving that the first President was not
a communicant, and not member OF
any Church. But Washington Irving
who never wrote carelessly, positively
affirms that both General and Mrs.
Washington were communicates in
the Protestant Episcopal Church. The
fact of his having taken the commun'
ion with the Presbyterians on a certain
occasion at Morristown, N. j., and
having stated to the pastor Of the
church that he was member of an
other denomination, as related in our
editorial two weeks ago, was never be-
fore called in question. 1t is too late
to question it now. These facts cor
respond faithfully with his public ut
terances and personal character, and
are supported by ample testimony.

The Philosophy Of Tears.

1 was in company the other day
with my friend, the professor Of chem
istry, and, being in a reflective mood,
I chanced to say Professor, tears are
a curious thing" ...
"By no MEANS" replied he prompt
ly. ,"Their composition is quite SIM
pie: about ninety-eight parts water,
and two parts salt, albumen, and mu-
GUS" I did not pursue the converse
ton, but thought, without saying so,
that if tears are not "a curious thing, a
professor of chemistry certainly is.
happened, a few days after, to re-
peat the conversation to our professor
of physiology, who, bringing his su-
perciliary muscles into play, said :
Simple as it may appear to DIR. Atom,
the genesis of tears Is quite complex
process, and they have multiple me-
chanical functions. They are secreted
by the lachrymal gland, and partly by
the orbicularis muscle are conveyed in
to the lachrymal canal, and thence in.
to the eye, which they flood, and thus
efectuate detersion, facilitate the move
ment of the eyeball, and preserve the
transparency Of the so-called cornea." "
I could only respond, II dare say.
All you tell me is very wonderful and
very complex, but how on earth do the
little babies learn to cry so early and
so well?" T did not tell him that /
did not comprehend a word he had ut
tered, and hence the wonder-onane
ignotum pro naagnifco. Much less did
I reveal what was passing in my mind.
It seemed to me that science Is like a
pin-very useful for sticking things to-
gether, and very nicely contrived for
this purpose; but one man spends his
whole life in coiling the head, another
in shaping the shaft, and another in
sharpening the point, while each un-
derstands nothing but his own part of
the pin. .s.
It next occurred to me to find out
what the poets say about tears. They
travel from earth to heaven very rapid
ly, in daring, desultory way, and al
ways through mists and clouds, seeing
things and parts of things very indis-
tinctly, and rarely telling the truth
about what they do see; yet notwith-
standing, they now and then seem to
find out some things of more or less
value which other people do not know.
AS we do not at present keep a pro-
fessor of poetry at our university, I be-
gan to rummage among my books.
The first lines that met my eye were
these:
"Tears, feelings bright embodied form, are
not %. .
More pure than dewdrops, natures tears"
Here is a definition of tears that we
can accept without. .aversion-tears are
the bright, bodily form of feeling.
The poet does not tell us that when we
weep we are doing nothing more than
secreting a mucus fluid by means OF
the lachrymal gland. He feels bound,
however, to state the fact that tears are
not more pure than dewdrops. The
whole truth would have been that they
are not as rure by a good deal. Per-
haps Mr.. Bailey did not know that
they contain mucus, albumen and salt.
We wish we did not possess the un-
comfortable information. We shall
never again be able to kiss the tears
from her cheek with the relish that
once we did-AtLantic.

Knight Of Labor and not entitled to
seat in Republican convention. /"
AS soon as the secretary got through
reading the report, Bill Harvey
arose and began to pull his overcoat
but before he got his coat of, the
chairman postmaster had put the
question Of excluding Harvey and
it passed unatRmopslY, thus pre-
venting Harvey from saying one
word in defense of himself. This
is the most outrageous treatment we
ever heard tell Of. Had he been a
criminal he would have been given
a chance to defend himself, but they
muzzled and fired Harvey out.
During the late campaign the
writer of this had occasion to enter
into discussion with Mr.. Harvey
in defense of our honored and peer
less congressman, Hon. w. l.. Will
son. Mr.. Harvey was then out cleo
pioneering for Gen. w. II. III. Flick
for congress. He was good enough
Republican then, and the Knights
Of Labor were told that the Repub-
lican party was their only friend and
they proposed to give them such
prosperous times by Protection to
American labor" and the "broad
shield of American law" that they
would live in luxury and ease hence
forth and forever after the election
of Harrison and Protection
Bill Harvey received his quota of
the luxury and ease" at the hands
of the Republican convention by
being unceremoniously fired out.

BEN II. ELSEY.

The announcement of Mr.. Ben
IL. Elsey as an independent candi-

intendent of free schools will be
found in this issue of the ARGUS.
Mr.. Elsey is a native of Preston
county, and teacher of twenty
years experience, eighteen years of
which he has taught on number
one certificate. He has held two
four year certificates. He ranks
among the foremost teachers of the
county, and man of unblemished
character. Should it be the pleas
ure Of the voters of Preston county
to elect him superintendent, we feel
confidant they would never have
reason to regret it. At home, in
Portland district, where he is best
known, everybody speaks in high
praise of "Ben" Elsey. Indeed it
was at the earnest solicitation of his
Republican and Democratic friends
that he was prevailed upon to run.
