Or. j.. N. Buckley Explains the ImPossi-
billy Of Human Equality.
Were a single family TO be cast upon
the shore Of a fertile but uninhabited
island, tho struggle between man and
nature would begin at once. They
might live To the full limit of human
life without once having the problems
of civil and social inequalities thrust
upon them Such terms as ''civil gov
eminent, rights of property" laws
of Inheritance" private property"
capital and labor" ''higher and lower
classes" and the ideas for which they
stand, might never be known to them.
But a the population increased. re-
strictions On the use of property and
government in soine form would be
required. After a few generations,
among the multitude varying degrees
of ability, physical and mental, would
be found Social differences would
arise, and be p%erpetuated 10y dissimilar
environments
That which would inevitably occur
OF such an island manifests itself in
all parts Of the world. Customs and
laws differ. but wherever society exists
several general distinctions appear.
The poor, including not only paupers
and the INDECENT, but those who earn
barely enough 10 support them, and
whom the sickness Of two or three DAYS
would transform into objects Of char
ity, constitute in most countries an i'm
mense majority.
In the United States, owing to extent
Of territory, fertility of soil, mineral re-
sources, timber, navigable rivers. sea
coast, variety of climate, isolation and
the need of development. the poor
have been less umerou than In the
Old World. but they are now increas-
ing more rapidly than heretofore.
At the other extreme are the rich,
the mere income of whose possessions
at current interest, with only the care
necessary to superintend their invest
ments, is sufficient to support them in
luxury, though many of them may con-
tinue in business for its pleasure and
power, or in the hope of adding TO their
wealth Between these is the great
middle class, having neither riches
nor poverty" subdivided into those
who are hopefully pressing upward to
the envied station Of the rich, and those
who, from infinnity, losses, the rise Of
new modes Of transacting business to
which they cannot adapt themselves,
and misfortunes, are declining toward
poverty.
Intellectual gifts and acquisitions
make other distinctions. In all ma
tons the number Of the ignorant is far
greater than that Of the learned. while
In the first powers Of the globe a large
number are well informed. DR.. j. NJ

THE LEGEND Of New RVER

How Wats- Came In the Desert After .
ChIId's Prayer.
In the early fifties a party of emf

Of California by the southern route, via
the ella river. crossed the Colorado by
the ferry left by Graham Ia lS4S land
struck out on the desert for the land Of
promise. The trail was we'll defined by
abandoned wagons and the bones of
horses, mules and human beings

falling apart, animals dying from heat
and thirst. they on the second night
out halted some ten miles from Cookies
Wen" with the water IN sheir kegs ca
hausted.
Tradition states that a little ten-year-
old girl was heard praying. IN one Of
the wagons, for water II states that
in her childlike faith she said ''Oh.
good. Heavenly Father. / know that ]
have been a very naughty. naughty
girl, but. OH dear. lam so very thirsty,
and mamma papa and the baby all

give IS water, and l will never. never
be naughty again"
The gaunt, half starved, desperate
men gathered around the wagons, dis
eussing how and what movement to
make to save their lives and their dear
ones, with nc thought of gold now,
and listened TO the humble petition.
One voiced the rest and said. May God
grant itf". Soon the voice of the little
child, In cheerful accent, sounded clear
10 the silent night. "Oh, mother, moth
er, get me water; Oh, | can hear it
running; oh, do get some for baby and
me-"
They thought her delirious from her
sufferings, when suddenly a babel of
sounds broke forth from the oxen and
mules, all frantic and endeavoring to
break loose from the wagon poles.
A rustling noise called their atten-
ton to a slight depression near the
wagons, and on investigating the cause
they found water gushing up out
of the sand, sweet. clear. but warm.
Their sufferings were over, and they
reached the mines better and wiser for
this interposition. as they firmly be-
Heved, Of Divine Providence.
This spring continued to flow, run
ming due north for twenty miles, then
was lost in the sand. In places it was
over two miles wide and from four to
twenty feet deep. When immigration
in 1851 moved by the isthmus and the
northern route, the miraculous water
disappeared, as its mission was accom-
pIished and its divine work done. But

was caused by a sandbar below Yuma,
