LEARNING AND llFE

Rev. John P. Mahsfy, professor Of
ancient history ia Dublin University is
described as unique and new figure in
literary circles. He is so different from
the convention al lean and cadaveroas
student with spetacled nose and far-away
look that he is not recognized as a pro-
lessor at all, but is constantly associated
with the idea Of prosperous merchant
who has gained wealth without sacrifc-
ing health, amiablity and crushing ont
every tender sensibility, every noble
sentiment, which can adorn mans life
or add happiness to the lives Of those
with whom he comes in contact.
But Professor Mshsffy is not that sort
Of a professor In fact, pc ipls who asso-
ciate with and learn from him are apt to
forget that he is professor al all. In
short, learning has not absorbed the
man, but the man has simply absorbed
learning and made it contribute to the
strengthening ana development Of his
intellectual individuality. as he makes
his daily meat and bread part of the
physical Mahahy. he is full Of vagaries
and SIS brilliant with eccentricities Of
wit Ms Sydney Smith, but he is also full
Of learning aud is as thoroughly intel
lectual as he is thoroughly different from
the physical dryness and the mental uni.
form OF the conventional professor.
Perhaps the peculiar charms Of Pro
fessor Mahsffy are dHe to the varied ele-
nents Of his pedigree and training He
is Of Irish parentage, Swiss birth and
German education. Hence he is
thoroughly original and individual. 1t
mas been said Of him
Instead Of marching at the head Of his
forces like drill master, he takes them
by the hand and goes of with them side
by side in happy explorations after the
treasures Of knowledge. His Irish
vivacity gives to both his lectures and
his writings 6 sparkling character that
is only TOO rare in such work, while the
occasional irreverence with which he
treats classical subjects never fails to
arrest the attention OF the nearer or
reader, even il II does not always con
vince
Professor Mahsfy can play cricket or
teach even specialists something more
than they know Of their own favorioe
studies. His learning is deep, strong ant
ne Asterly, but still he can fish and hunt
on the Irish mosrs.
Such is the picture Of modern pro
fessor, who has learning 70 make hin
brilliant among scientists and life t
make him companionable among men
He is Of the disposition TO relieve tn
highway to knowledge from its dustines
and dreariness and give it a charm an'
interest as rare as Il is beautiful and CRATE
frl. he is a happy combination Of learn
ing and life, science and sweetness.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


New York Herald.
In ons respect at least the execution OF
kemmler was dismal aud unfortunate
failnra. II will fail 20 end tine unpar-
alleled controversy that has been waged
over the substitution of the dynamo for
the gallows. On the contrary, 1t must
revive that controversy and give to it q
vigor which it never had before When
the deadly current was first turned on
the success Of the experiment. seemed to
be assured There was sudden momen.
tary convulsion of the victim and appar-
ently all was over In seventeen seconds
he was pronounced dead and the current
was turned of. Death appeared to be
instantaneous and painless But no back
ward step should be taken hastily So
great reform is not TO be abandoned
without good reason. AS we hav:
said, tke bungling work Of yesterday
does not prove ithat execution by
electricity Is failure. 1t does moi
warrant a return to the gallows. Had
the execution been properly and
efficiently managed IL would have proved
the SUCCESS Of the new system beyond al
dispute An electric light concern should
not be allowed to take advantage of this
failure to fnther its own private
| interests

PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, August :, 1890.
Tie aOcatAey today IS likely
to be clear.

The Furniture TRADE Sale
has amply justified itself. The
sales of Monday and Tuesday
were great and the larger re-
suits are yet to come.
On Monday we gave the
reason for it, to-day we give
you some of the trade con-
ditions affecting it-and you.
Furniture will be higher,
especially such pieces as have
Mirrors. "A combine of glass
importers has advanced the
price of mirror plates 20 pei
cent. Oak lumber is advanc-
ing greatly, and the makers Of
Furniture having these fea,
lures are giving trade notices
Of increased prices. The rise
has been expected.
The Furniture TRADE Sal.
is therefore a complete reversal
of natural conditions. A
strong and rising market, anc
yet lower retail prices on Z
great stock of new, elegant
fine honest Furniture than have
ever been named. Anomalou:
but very real. Ho5O real you
can only know by giving the
articles very critical examina
ton and comparison.
The natural conditions are
reversed in respect to the sea
son. Did you ever hear be
fore of a great Retail Trade
Movement in August? W.
think not. And yet here i.
one involving some hundred.
of thousands of dollars in arti
cles of bulk and value that i.
a stupendous success from The
first hour-and the thermome
ter climbs to the nineties.
Remember every room il
the house, hall, bedroom, din
ingroom, parlor has a share
either in full sets of Furnitur,
or single pieces.
