A PARALLEL

Nearly every young man after he
enters college and gets as far as the
sophomore class, gets to be somewhat
of an agnostic or doubter in religious
matters. This because of the philo-
sophie studies that ne has reached and
is endeavoring to digest with an i'm
mature reasoning faculty. by the
time he has graduated, however, and
his intelligence has been strengthened
and broadened, by deeper draughts
from the Pierian spring and by more
years upon his shoulders and more
capable thoughtfulness, he becomes
sobered down and sees more clearly
than ever the grand truths of liberal
religion and is no longer on its ragged
edge. or course there are some who
never recover from their sophomore
impressions, but on the contrary give
them sway and finally become chronic
infidels and all that sort of thing.

1t is to be regretted that the address
delivered by Mr. G. W. Howard in this
city on the Fourth of July was not
preserved in type. The HERALD re-
porter detailed to secure the proceed

supposed that Mr.. Towards speech
would be in his possession in manu-
script, as addresses of that kind usu-
ally are, and therefore made no notes
of it, but it transpired that, with the
exception of some headings, the adj
dress was extempore. The effort was
very brilliant one, admirably dellv'

tinue to report disgraceful attemps

the west to impose on them IN the
distribution of grain. A letter re-
ceived from Commissioner Green saws
that "One man in Phillips county
who-admitted that ne had over 200
head of cattle and $4,000 he baden, t
touched-an observation-disclosures and
certified that he was too poor to buy
seed grain and took a share. I am
most Disguised. I think these frauds
ought to be published"
The above item appears in the
daily papers of Saturday last The
HERALD has inquired of the commits
sioners IN regard to this $4,000 man
and he proves to be mythical. No
doubt that few men have received
seed, who will use it improperly, but
the cases are rare. Some men win
use it to feed their families, and who
can blame them, as this is the most
sacred duty imposed on man.

Apropos of the proposed change in

curious fact that the present design
is illegal. The law says that on one
side the coin shall contain a figure
emblematjc of liberty, the word
Liberty" and the phrase United
States of America" and on the other
side an American eagle and ''E Plur-
ibus Unum." The use of the words
''In God we trust" is left to the dis
erection of the director of the mint
The illegality Of the current design
les in the fact that the phrases s5E
Pluribus Unum" and United States
of America" have been transposed,
each being on the wrong side. The
general symmetry of the design, how
ever, carried approval with it. When
the first designs were being perfected
the inscriptions were changed Vari-
ously, and one die was made in which
the words sc Pluribus Unum" were
stamped around the out side rim or
edge of the coin. This was to pre-
vent counterfeiting.-Philadel phia
