Aldens Manifold Cyclopedia

The issue of the tenth volume
calls attention to the rapid prog
ress which this exceIlnt cyclope-
dia is making. The publisher
promised the volumes at intervals
of about a month: he Is recently
more than keeping his word. The
volume extends from Cosmogra-
ply to Derby, contains about GAO
pages and about 100 illustrations,
handsomely printed and neatly
bound in cloth, for so cts! The
Manifold is more comprehensive
than any other cyclopedia except
Cassells (Which costs several times
as much), including an unablidge
dictionary of the English language
in addition to ordinary cyclopedia
matter, and though many of the
articles are necessarily brief, they
are sufficiently full for practical
people, and some articles are sur
prisingly extended for instance.
Cotton occupies 26 pages; Gran
nogs, s pages; Creeds and Confess
sions, 5 pages; Cricket, 4 pages;
Crusades, 6 pages; Darwin and
Darwinian Theory, II pages; and
SO on. 1t would be strange indeed
if cyclopedia of such great merit,
published at a cost surprisingly
low, did not reach an enormous
circulation. a specimen volume
may be ordered and returned if
not wanted. John B. Alden, Pub

Lincoln's Religion.

The forthcoming August num-
Der of the Century will contain a
chapter on Lincoln and the
Churches" in the Lincoln History,
by Messrs. Hay and Nicolay, from
which the following is an extract
from advance sheets:
He was man of profound and
intense religious feeling. We have
no purpose of attempting to formu-
late his creed; we question if he
himself ever did so. There have
been swift witnesses who, Judging
from expressions uttered in his
callow youth, have called him an
atheist, and others who, with the
most laudable intentions, have re-
membered improbable conversa-
tons which they bring forward to
prove at once his orthodoxy and
their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal
evidences, we have only to look at
his authentic public and private
utterances to see how deep and
strong in all the latter part of lis
life was the current of his re-
ligious thought and emotion. He
continually invited and appreciat-
ed, at their highest value, the
prayers Of good people. The
pressure of the tremendous prob
lens by which he was surrounded
the awful moral significance of the
conflict in which he was the chief |
combatant; the overwhelming
sense of personal responsibility,
which never left him for an hour.
all contributed to produce, in
temperament naturally serious
and predisposed to a spiritual
view of life and conduct, a sense
Of reverent acceptance of the
guidance of Superior Power.
From that morning when, stand
ing amid the falling snowfakes on
the railway car at Springfield, he
asked the prayers of his neigh
oors in those touching phrases
whose echoes rose that night in in
locations from thousands of fami-
y affairs, to that memorable hour
when on the steps of the Capitol
lie humbled himself before his {
creator in the sublime words of
he second inaugural, there is not
IN expression known to have come
rom his lips or his pen but proves
hat he held himself answerable c
n every act of his career to amore !
!ugust tribunal than any on earth. :
The fact that he was not a COM
nunlcant of any church, and that :
lie was singularly reserved in re-
,ard to his personal religious life, S
,lven Oily the greater force to :
hese striking proofs of his pro- :
ound reverence and faith.

THE PRESS.

One of the ministers attendin,
the lectureship, in his address
Tuesday, severely criticised tn
press for devoting SO mucl
space to the sensational and SO Lii
tie to the moral and religious. Il
lnstanced the Sullivan-Kilrail
fight which was described by th,
metropolitan papers to the minut
est detail, as an example.
Without any attempt to CRITICS,
the critic, it is only fair tc
ask that it be borne in mind thai
one province of the newspaper is
to gather the news. What has
happened? Where did it happen
When did it happen? How did il
happen? are questions that are
daily presented to the newspaper
by curious public, and the news
paper that fails to apswer them
is considered worthless. 1t NAV
be as revolving to the newspaper
management to chronicle the
particulars of murder, suicide,
scandal or prize fight, as it would
be to one who is SO merciless in
criticism because it is done. But
these things the public wants and
must have, and the newspaper
that fails to give them would as
well 60 out of business.
While the particulars of the
Sullivan-kilrain fight were given
In detail, there was not a news
paper that commented favorably
on prize lighting, or attempted to
SHOW that it was manly or elevat-
Ing. On the contrary there was
Il universal condemnation of its
brutality and degrading influence
on society. Is it possible that the
critic was so absorbed in the
sensational part, that he failed to
note how ably the moral phase of
the business was handled by the
press ofthe country
If 1t Is granted that too much
space is now given to the senss-
tlonal, it must also be conceded
that a reform in this is steadily
going on. The pressure of the
public can not be over come at
once; but the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when the news that
now occupies a half column
headline display, followed by two
or three columns of solid nom
pareil, will be told in a dozen
lines. This day will not be hasten
ed by an abuse of the press, how
ever, but by eliminating from the
field of criticism all that spirit
which shows how prone is human
nature to exhibit the instincts of
the prize fighter, and by teaching
after the manner of Him, who |
said he that is guiltless let him
cast the first stone.

COTTON SUBSTITUTE.


A Chemists Experiments with the Bark
of tho Ramle Plant.
DIR. c. F. Panknin, well-ltnown
chemist OF Charleston, is perfectiug an
invention for utilizing the bark OF the
ramie plant as complete substitute
for cotton. A great revolution In the
cotton industry is thus promised. DIR.
Panknin has placed on exhibition here
large roll OF ramie which has been
prepared and treated by his process.
BY looking at the roll 1t is easy TO con-
clude that the method IL perfect, al
though the method is, and will be for
some time. a secret The product Is
devoid OF gum, or particles of the bark.
and each filiment as distilled Is rs
glossy and transparent us n strand OF
silk The roll has been bleached, but
not carded or combed. When this last
process has been applied. which any
one can do for himself with his fingers.
IL will exhibit itself more advantage
ously. Dr. Panknin says that he Is
now perfecting q machine by which
he can produce the stuff on CON-
mercial scale. With the machine he
uses now he has prepared a quantity
of the article similar to that on exhi-
bition, The stalks OF ramie are first
split longitudinally in halves, or as
nearly that proportion as possible
These slips are then passed through an
apparatus similar 10 nuting machine,
which breaks the weed into small
pieces, which are easily detached from
the bark. which Is left In long ribbons.
The secret lies in extracting the gum
absolutely from this ribbon, removing
at the same time all the finer particles
OF bark. 1t is learned that the cost OF
preparation by the chemical process
will not be so large US to make the
manufacture Improbable. On the con-
trary, 1t is said the cost per bale or per
pound will not exceed that for the
preparation for tho market OF the
equivalent amounts OF long cotton. DIR.
Panlfnin Is now in communication with
business men In New York who are in
terested in the discovery. Something
very interesting In the way OF the de-
OF the industry may be.
therefore, shortly expected. --Colum.
