A Ynnkec Samaritan.

There was a good samaritan on
train from Newport TO Bangor the other
day, and the Fairfield (Me) Journal
thus tells of his journey: when he
got on the car a double seat there was
occupied by tired woman and four
hot, tired, dirty. squabbliDg children.
Did the newcomer. after 4 short remark
about the nuisance of children travel
ing, put his feet on the seat in front and
bury himself in a newspaper? Not he.
As soon as he saw the party he folded
up his paper, put it away. tucked his
baggage in the smallest possible capaci-
ty and enticed the tired and dirty bits
of humanity over to his side Of the car.

give up seat, so as to accommodate all
four of them. Soon he had the quartette

slnsular,y Luminous Beetles.

The editor OF the Journal of the Roy
al Agricultural and Comme rcial Society
of British Guiana, in some interesting
notes on luminous Larvae, says of form
referable to the ElateTldG, or spring
beetles, that its luminosity, when OBJ
served in dark place. is singularly
striking and beautiful. The light is
emitted along the whole length of the
body-the head, the front part of the
anterior segment, and the last segment
of the body, being altogether luminous,
while each intermediate segment

wild Animals In Texas.

Wolves, coyotes, wild cats and pan
theirs in Texas are multiplying under
the protection of the barbed-wire fence
and the apathy of the State Legislators
few years since thorough scalp law
would have settled forever the wild ami
NAL question in Texas at small ex-

money, and meantime stockmen and
farmers have lost many times the money
in calves, colts, and sheep killed In

How Timothy Geass Was Named.

Timothy or herd grass is the most
common grass Of Continental Europe,
growing wild throughout all that vast
region between the Mediterranean sea
on the south and the North sea in the
direction the name implies. 1t is not
known exactly when it was first intro
duced into the United States, but this
much is known: 1t takes the name
from Timothy Hanson, a farmer of
Maryland, who brought it under gen.
eral notice as hay grass after he had
cultivated it extensively for his use for
years 1t is curious fact that al
though its native home is in Europe,
the United States is the first country
in which it was grown, cut and cured
for hay.-American Gardener.

but the Old Trick Didn't Work, for the
Boston Man Caught the Rabbit.

But the Old Trick Didn't Work, Tor tne
Boston Man Caught the Rabbit.
Some time since gentleman from Bos-
ton went TO an Illinois town seeking
rest and pleasure, says the ST. Louis Re-
public. The gentleman knew all about
Boston baked beans and brown bread,
but very little about the long-eared Illi-
nois rabbit. One afternoon a number OF
men and boys were discussing the mat
ter of the great number of rabbits in the
country this season, as it was thought
they were all exterminated last winter.
Some one in the crowd remarked that II
would be good fun TO go out tagging
rabbits. The Boston man, not knowing
what ''bagging" rabbits meant, began
TO inquire. 1t was explained TO him,
and he expressed himself anxious TO en-
gage in such sport. 1t was arranged 10
go out 10 the timber east of the town
that night and catch rabbits by the bag
ging process.
About $50 o'clock the crowd started.
When about half mile out OF town
they came to a hazel thicket where the
rabbits were said TO be numerous The
Boston man was stationed just outside
of the thicket to hold the bag Ia big cof-
fee sack), while the boys went through
NlC DEuSu W oN@AN wv
bits out and run them into the sack
While going through the thicket the
boys did actually scare up rabbit
| which ran directly into the bag.
The boys ran back to town and waited
the coming of the bag-holder. who, they
thought, would get lost in the timber
| and would be slow returning They did
not have long to wait, for in few min
utes in came the Boston man, the bag
| and rabbit on his shoulder, feeling hap
| py, and remarking: by gosh, l caught
| him"
Not yet discovering the trick that
they had tried to play on him, he sup
| posed that the rabbit was purposely
| driven in the sack.
The laugh was on the boys and the
| Boston man turned out TO be the lion OF
the occasion, having bagged his game
| successfully. No more tricks have been
| played on the gentleman from Boston.

THAT BOY IN THE GALLERY,
DEATH AND IMMORTALITY.
Letter Of Archdeacon Farrar to the
Daughter of Charles Bradlaugh.
Pau Mall Gazette.l

tfnl Mail btLeltt.l
Archdeacon Farrar has addressed the
following letter to Mrs. Hypatia Bradlaugh
Bonner in reply to q communication which
she had addressed him:
Dear Madam,-I do not know single
reasonably-educated Christian who takes
the mere symbols of Heaven for Heaven.
We do not suppose that Heaven is a cubic
city, or a pagoda Of jewels, or even an end
less seyen-fold chorus of hallelujahs and
harplug symphonies, Long ago Chris
tian poet sang:
"Oh, for q deeper insight into Heaven
More knowledge OF the glory and the Joy
Which there unto the happy souls IL given;
For It is past belief that Christ hath died
Only that we eternal psalms might sing;
That all the gain deaths awful curtains hide
Ia this eternity Of antheming.
And this praised rest; shall there DO no en-
deavOr?" etc, etc.
If could find a printed sermon of mine
entitled "What Heaven Is" you would see
that we regard it as a place of progress, or
truition of all that Is noble, of growth and
progress upwards and EDWARDS, of endless
and benefcent activity, of love which
knows no fear and no hatred, of growing
more like 10 God, because we shall see Him
as He is. In Browning's poems you will
sec this view of Heaven constantly set forth,
and the eminent theologian Whicbcot said
/ have often quoted with approval the say
ing of Confuoius, g Hedusa means principle
The old detestable notions of happy
souls rejoicing over the torrents Of the
lost have long been exercised, and if you
have time to glance at my Eternal Hope"
or Mercy and Judgment" which now
represent the best opinions in the Church,
YOU will see many proofs that the Calvin
istic horrors of an unnatural theology have
been never authorized by many men, even
by greatest Christian Fathers and CANON
lied saints of the MEDIEVAL Church.
Let me add flor one have not uttered O
syllable of dIsrespect about your father,
though an sincere and convinced be-
lever. / only met him once, as chaplain of
the House of Commons, and we exchanged
a courteous greeting. Had been able to
show him Christianity as | see it, do not
think that he would have wished to be
counted among the foes of our Gospel--if
such was his attitude. But Christianity
has been more sorely wounded in the
house of its friends than by its enemies,
Yours faithfully, +. w. FARRAR.

Silver.


We do not attach much importance to
the rumor which is going the rounds of
the papers that q syndicate of wealthy
men intendto "corner silver" They know
how much silver the world produces, and
will operate, so the report goes, on the the
ory that the syndicate can handle that
much silver. But ell such theories are liza
BILE and likely TO come to grief. If the
world produces only hundred millions of
dollars worth of silver when its produc-
ton is not stimulated by any unnatural
cause that is no reason why the world may
not produce two hundred millions Of sill
YER under other conditions. Men of wealth
will hardly risk their money on such specu-
lations as the one under consideration.
Beyond o doubt England, France, Ger
many, and the United States of America
could so legislate as to force the price of
silver to rise at once TO parity with the
price of gold. That TO say the two metals
could be made of equal value relatively
Sixteen TO one). We regard it as exceed
inRly unfortunate for the world, and ex-
ceedingly unwise In the governments OF
several Of these countries that they do not
at once give the money Of all nations two
legs to stand upon.

"f.a1v and I,e0al-Tender Money"


Mr.. JAMES Mn.LrKEs, Of Bellefonte, Pa,
has favored us with copy OF his httie
pamphlet which bears the title above
quoted. We have not the patience to IN
dertake 10 answer the arguments OF man
who. though he considers himself qualified
20 instruct the public on financial pro-
blems. is not ashamed TO give It as ms
opinion as lawyer that the trainers OF the
Federal Constitution intended to concede
to Congress the power to use paper as ma
terial for " coming" money! If the word
coin as used in the Constitution does
not refer to gold and silver. then 1t has no
meaning. To talk about coming" paper
money is rs if one should talk of printing
twenty-dollar gold pieces. Such talk Is
fat nonsense-an insult TO the reader. 1t
assumes that the public are set OF MIN
compoops.
Mr.. MuLrKEN also declares that the sil-
yer bill which we recently noticed as
pending in the Pennsylvania Legislature
is constitutional because it does not I'M
pair the obligation OF any contract in ex-
istence at this time. But in order to make
his point Mr.. M1LLIKES adds words to
those in the Constitution, which do not
limit the institution to contracts now IN
existence, but provides in the most sweep
ing terms that no State shall pass any law
impairing the obligation OF contracts.
Surely the Pennsylvania bill would be
such law If II were enacted into statute.
The words Of the Constitution are; mo
State shall pass any bill of attainder, eT
post 61cto law, or law impairing the obliea-
ton of contracts Could State pass
bill of attainder to take effect in the
future? Of course not. Nor can any
State pass a law to take effect in the future
impairing the obligation of contracts.
