VIRTUE AND RELIGION.
Can the One Exist in the World III the
other Becomes obsolete?

Can the One Exist in the World II the
Other Becomes Obsolete?
But if morality has hitherto been
based upon religion. there must be reason
to fear that the foundation boing with
drawn the superstructure will fail. That
morality has hitherto been based largely
upon religion, so far at least as the great
majority Of MANKIND are concerned, Will
hardly be doubted, however wanting in
defiaireness or vividness the notions OF a
moral governor aud of retribution in
many minds may have been. and how
ever men may have sacrificed to immedt-
ate impulse that which on serious
appeal they would have acknowledged
TO be their real good. Virtue" says
Paley, in his clear and decisive way, lis
the doing good TO mankind in obedience
to the will of God aud for the sake of
everlasting happiness" So surely thought
even the men of the world In Paley's day.
All but the members Of tue Hell-tire Club
and perhaps even they-wouid have
SAID, Let me die the death OF the right
eous, and let my last end be like his"
Besides, such genuine Christian charae-
ters as there were exerted an influence
beyond themselves as practical warrants
for the observance of Christian morality
and pledges of the happiness attending IL.
The presence of the theistic sanction
has been especially apparent in ali ACTS
and lives of heroic self-sacrifice or self
devotion. The man who mas led forlorn
hope, taken an oar in o life boat, risked
his own life 10 save the lives OF others, or
given up all his personal enjoyments to
the service of his kind, if he has not def
nitely placed before himself the approba-
tinn Of God and a reward in heaven, has
felt assured that in losing his life he saves
il, and that it would be well for him in
the sum of things-an assurance which
implied the existence of a supreme moral
power. We are told that acts of heroic
se!f-sacritice and self-devotion will be-
come of less consequence TO mankind
when all is regulated by a scientific
sociology. 1t may be so. but hitherto hui
mahity could hardly have advanced with
out them.-Prof. Goldlcin Smith in the

Most of the stories we hear about
whales Of 200, 800 aud 400 feet in length
are the imaginary musings of persons
who have more respect for tho size of a
story than for the truth it may contain,
SAYS the SO. Louis Republic Mr.. Scores
by, very high authority on this subject,
declares that the common whale seldom
exceeds 20 feet in length, and is much
more frequently under 80. Out OF 1862
whales which he personally assisted in
capturing, not one exceeded 5S feet in
length, and the largest he ever
heard of being captured ana meas
ured by persons who could
be relied upon only measured n feet.
OF the razor-backed whale he mas seen
specimens that measured 105 feet. One of
these was found dead IN Davis Straits and
measured 101 feet, and the skeleton of one
found in the Columbia River was 1l2 feet
Other specimens have measured all the
way from so TO 100 feet. One cast on the
shore at North Berwick. Scotland, aud
preserved by DIR. Knox, was So feet in
length. These instances seem to establish
the average length of these animals. In
his earlier accounts Cuyier, the eminent
naturalist, with considerable credulity,
says:-"There is no doubt that whales
have been seen in certain epochs and in
certain seas that were upward of 800 feet.
or 100 yards long"

1T MAY BE 4 LESSON.

Two Intoxicated Women and Child
Taken Away IN Cab.
Two richly dressed. handsome young
women, one Of whom carried babe in
her arms, created a sensation in the lower
part of Washington street, in Hoboken
last night. Both of the women were in
toxicated. The woman who carried the
babe reeled from side to side and when
she reached the corner of Ferry and
Washington streets, she fell. The child
rolled from her arms into the gutter.
Several bystanders picked up the woman
and child and carried them to doorway
near by. The other woman gave q boy 81.
from a roll of bills to 60 to the ferry TO
get cab.
In the meantime Policemen Granelli
and Werner attracted by the crowd, came
up. A stretcher was sent for TO take the
woman 10 the station house. The other
woman begged of the policeman not TO
bring her companion to the station house.
She was afraid of publicity, aud said that
her companion was a bride of a year, and
belonged to one of the most reputed fam
lilies on the Heights.
The policemen were touched by the
woman's strong plea, and decided TO wait
for the cab. After quite long wait the y
become impatient, and were about to
place the inanimate form of the young
woman on the stretcher, when the 9th er
woman got down on her knees and begged
the policeman not to take her companion
away. She moaned and sobbed so that
several bystanders interfered and expos
tulated with the policemen.
Finally cab drove up ana both of the
young women entered it and the crowd
cheered as they drove off.
The driver of the cab was James Clarke.
He said this morning that he drove the
women to fashionable house on Pals
ade avenue. He refused TO divulge what
the number of the house was.

Trembling or DEVILS Mountain.

High up the Rouge River Valley, al
most directly north of Montreal, Canada,
says the 50. Louis Republic, is situated
that singular pile of rocks known all over
the Dominion as Trembling" ana locally
as Devils Mountain" 1t is the highest
point in the entire Laurentian range of
mountains in Canada. Years ago the
late Sir William Z. Logan aud company
camped near the base of the Trembling
Mountain, and on referring to it in his re-
port, Sir William mentions remarkable
stories told by the Indians of the vicinity
touching on the noises and quakes said to
issue from the peak at certain seasons Of
tue year. Indian tradition says that the
thunder god used 10 sit on this peak for
three days in the spring. ssyen in the
summer, five in Autumn and two in
Winter. That during the time he was
present great chasms would open in its
side, from which frightful noises were
emitted. and from which fire would stream
on midsummer nights for hours without
ceasing- Biologists think chat this noun
tain. like several others in the world, is
slowly sinking into the earth's crust, the
"quaking" and the "groans" reported as
having been heard and felt there being
the result OF taat phenomenon.

Democratic Loyalty.

The loyalty. shown by the Demo-
Gratis in the Board of Aldermen in
confirming the Redistricting Resolu-
tion, even though some of them sacri-
feed their own personal interests by
doing so, shows that the party is in
excellent shape in this city at present.
In County Clerk Mclaughlin the
Democracy has leader who not only
has the welfare of the party at heart,
but who also has the judgment and
experience necessary to lead it to sue
cess. Mr.. McLauglin has about him
an able staff of lieutenants, too, and,
all things considered, the political
situation may be regarded as the most
favorable we have experienced in
years.
There are no jealousies, no rivalries.
no differences. Everyone is working
for success with an ultimate view to
more important victories in the As
sembly elections in the fall and in the
great struggles of next year.
Every Democrat shonld come to
the front for the party this month.
This is the time to organize victory.
Next year the Democracy will reap
the fruits Next year will indeed be
an exciting one politically. In the
spring Jersey City will elect a new
Mayor. In November the Presiden-
tial and Congressional contests will
take place, and the members of the
State Legislature then elected will
vote for a United States Senator to
succeed Rufus Blodgett.
A vote for a Republican candidate
at this time may be blow to the
hopes of the Democracy next year.
Let every Democrat. therefore. stand
by his party and help show the enemy
what an unbroken front they have TO
attack.

tury the heads of hair of whole
families i'm Dsvonshire we're let out by

Exeter periwig maker went round
periodically, cut the locks, and oiled
the ground thus left in stubble TO
stimulate fresh crop.
The hair is dependent on its color
for its marketable value, and the color
depends in some degree on geogra phi
cal position. The light haired races
of mankind are mostly found north OF
the parallel OF forty-eight degrees,
comprising, so far as Europe is con-
cerned, England, Belgium, North
Germany, a large portion of Russia,
and the Scandinavian countries. The
ck-haired races of the sunny South
cease about forty-five degrees, while
between forty-five and forty-eight
degrees there Is a sort of debateable
land of brown hair. There are, how
ever. many exceptions to these limits,
for the Celtic race in Ireland and the
Norman race in France have black
hair, in spite of their northern posi-
tion.
The brown hair of middle Europe
seems to be n kind of neutral tint;
naturally resulting from the admix-
ture of the fiaxen-haired races of the
North and the black-haired popula-
tion of the South. The black hair inn
ported comes mostly from Brittany
and the South of France, and is, as a
rule, very fine and silken. The light
hair comes from Germany, where it is
collected by the agents of a Dutch
company, who make yearly visits to
various parts of the Germanic States.
Some years ago the light German hair
was held in such esteem by the hair
merchants that they gladly paid as
much as eight shillings an ounce for
small quantities of it-nearly double
the price of silverl
A paragraph appearing in the Ece7a-
ing Standard of January 10, says:
''The supply Of hair sent from China
to Europe amounted to so, 600 pounds
during the year 1890. 1t was exported
from Canton, and, if Consul Alabaster
may be credited, it came from the
heads of 'beggars, criminals and dead

the ravages of time or to add to their

THE DENOMINATION OF PRESIDENT
HARRISON.

From HdTtcTS " echtb
Mr.. Harrison's success in securing re-
nomination would have one great pablo
advantage. It would indisputably invite
the verdict of the country upon the con-
duct of the party. 1t is denied by many
Republicans that the election Of last
autumn was such verdict. But If cleo
tons can ever be held to express public
feeling, the reelection of President Har-
rison. unless evidently due to support OF
his position upon the silver question,
would proclaim the sanction OF the country
for the Mckinley tariff, for an election
law, and for the postponement OF civil
service reform. But this is the very lion
in the Presidents path. His renoaina
tion would be such distinct declaration
that the party meant to adhere steadfastly
to the general course which the country
has condemned that it is very doubtful
whether the leaders would care to make
it. The nomination OF another candidate
could be readily interpreted as change
OF front. Even if no real change
should be contemplated, the fact
domination. il, for instance. Mr..
Robert I. Lincoln should be selected, his
nomination would not be 80 distinct re-
affirmation of the Force bill and the Nc
Kinley bill, and a neglect of civil service
reform as that OF the President. More
over, if not in himself an object of party
enthusiasm, his name is, and he Is
wholly free from any factional entangie
ment. Yet as there is no more tried and
true representative of the recent party
policy than the President, q refusal of
his overtures for denomination would be
fairly interpreted as showing the party
distrust of its own policy.

a young lady on the occasion of Law
renee Barrett's appearance in Fran
cesca da Riminin The young lady in
question had never seen Mr. Barrett
and his acting was a revelation to her
eager eyes. When he appeared as the

every movement with the most in
tense interest, and tears stood in her
eyes as the curtain went down upon a
most affecting scene. Turning to her
brother, with sigh OF gentle relief,
she said, Isn't he grand? | shall al

The quality and color OF the hair
was subjects of speculative theory
for the ancients. Lank hair was con
sidered indicative Of pusillanimity and
cowardice, yet the head of Napoleo n
the Great was guiltless of a single curl
while friZzly hair was thought au in
dication of coarseness and clumsiness.
The French hair market is very re-
markable.
There are wholesale firms in Paris
which send round agents in the spring
to various Breton and other villages.
These agents are provided with rib
bons, silks, laces, haberdashery and
cheap jewelry of various kinds, pay
ing Tor the maidens' glossy tresses in
these goods or in ready money. So
far as personal beauty is concerned.
these Breton ladies do not lose much
in losing their hair, for it is the
fashion in that part OF France for
maidens 10 wear a close cap. which
entirely prevents any part OF the hair

ENGLISH CLUBS.


Membership in Them Confer No Social
Position-Their Solitariness.
The English club is place TO live in. In
one of these clubs member lives for five
hundred pounds year about as we'll as
he could live tor five thousand year in
his own house. He. of course, wishes to
make the club his own house. as far as
may be. This fact explains the solitari-
ness of these institutions. The member
wishes to find in them the Independence,
the privacy, and, in a sense, the solitude
of his own house. The great clubs are
therefore designedly unsocial. Many of
the features of the clubs accord with this
Intention. This is perhaps the reason OF
the plain decoration and the absence OF
pictures from the walls. 1t is thought
that a club should be prevented from
looking like a drawing-room; the notion
is. that rather than look like drawing
room it should look like an hotel-the
suggestion being perhaps that the men,
Ders are strangers to one another as peo-
pie who meet in an hotel are. But, of
course, it should look like neither. There
is no treating, the feeling OF the member,
interfered with by being expected to
drink, or even by being asked to drink.
Those pleasant weekly or monthly sup
pers usual in American clubs are un-
known.
Comfortable solitude rather than So
eiety being the object of these great Lon
don clubs, it is obvious that society is not
to be sought for in them. Social enjoy
ment and social position are to be sought
elsewhere. Men do not acquire position
by belonging 10 clubs. The intention, of
course, is that only men of a certain posi-
ton shall be let into these clubs. Ii, as
sometimes happens. a man OF different
position gets in, the advantage he receives
is slight.
1t is also true that the fact of belonging
to 4 good club is of little advantage in
general society. Membership OF good
club-whatever may have been formerly
the case--nowadays confers no social
position.--E. S. Nddal, IN March Scrib-
nor
