Uynlverslty Extension.

University extension is compen-
sating movement to present the too
wide separation OF liberal culture
from the average livelihood line OF
the general race. The tendency TO-
ward an aristocracy of intellect should
be met as actively as the tendency
toward an aristocracy OF wealth. II
established. it becomes just as Op-
pressive to mental aspiration in the
lOwly as the presence OF Il wealthy
privileged class is to the social
aspirations OF the poor. Not
the elevation OF the few
to loneliness. but the elevation OF the
many to manliness and womanliness.
is tho great end in view, and that end
becomes vanishing quantity when
power OF mind or wealth segregates
with comparatively small class.
which is removed from an intimate
knowledge Of, and sympathy with. the
life Of the masses. II higher education
sublimes to lofty heights, in college 8
and universities. without diffusing in
to the general life. and forming the
upward extensions OF that life, the
peaks and pinnacles OF the generic
mind, then the formation OF an intel-
lectual class seems to be unavoidable;
for if education is cut off from a re-
dictionary effect on the general
state it becomes at once
subjective and self-contemplative.
That is not exactly what we want.
That is not Hercules, the giant armed.
annihilating human disabilities, 1t il
not Christ, the spiritual magnet,
drawing the whole world up into
matchless perfection. 1t is rather Il
dapper Adonis, gathering up his
dainty skirts and saying: Keep
away; don't touch me; you are ignor-
ant; am educated; am better than
you"
Unless l am much mistaken. there is
this tendency in higher education;
not enough to worry about; only
enough. perhaps, to furnish amuse-
ment TO the general eye. Wealth
pushes the tendency forward faster
but mind culture goes the same way
with slower steps. When it ceases to
be world-inspiration. it begins to
weave an environment OF inaccessi-
bility about itself and declines to use
its force in the struggle with human
limitations.-FrOm" Aims OF Univer-

Creation OF the World.

An recent address before the state
association OF Observation-Disclosures
Or. K w. Raymond mentioned as
sample Of the courageous and consist
snt liberalism of the last generation
one OF the Introductory notes in CRU
denis concordance, discussing the sea-
son at which the creation occurred,
and favoring the conclusion that it
was autumn. because, (among other
reas0ns) apples were ripe. Several
persons have since made inquiry us to
This passage. not having found it in
Crudeu under the word Creation. 1t
Gill be found 1--WE think in all editions
Of the concordance, though we have
examined only the American edition
1f 1841, from the tenth London edi-
stony under World, as follows:
at is also inquired ut what season
Of the year the world was created.
The generality OF the fathers think it
was created in the spring. But a
great number Of others, among whom
are the most learned chronologists,
nOntend that the world was created in
autumn. They urge: /. That the
Hebrews, the Egyptians, and most OF
the Orientals began their year at
autumn. which custom they had re-
oeived from their ancestors, and they
from the first men, who would natu-
rally commence their year from the
time when the world began. 2. When
God created Adam and Eve, and all
other animals, He was to provide
chem with necessary nourishment.
3. There was fruit upon the trees in tho
Garden OF Eden, Gen. ill, 2, 3. 1t was
therefore autumn, they say, in what
ever place We suppose Adam to have
henn created"
Those who have felt incredulous
that such reasoning as this should be
found In books OF Biblical study still
in common use, may be interested to
know that the Rev. DR.. Talmage, of
Brooklyn, in a sermon preached May
"a. 1891, narrated the Creation
At length, upon Scriptural author
ity. with running comments and
Gas the newspapers reported
him. and as we are assured by per-
sons who were presently declared that
1t took place in May, beginning at
o'clock on Monday morning! We
suspect that Monday must have been
. slip OF the tongue. II not, the doc
tor is hereto, and in danger OF the
Presbytery. But correcting that
slight error, he is in accord with ''the
generality OF the fathers" though
not as Cruden says, with 1.-THE most
learned chronologists."
As to his further reported decla ra-
iiOn that light was first created. in
order that the admiring hosts OF
heaven might have the opportunity to
see the glorious exhibition that fol-
flowed, we do not feel so sure that the
generality OF the fathers would be
with him. Possibly they would find
lanlt with him for adding piece OF
purely human speculation to the in
fallible record. But something must
be pardoned to the contagious spirit
Of the age.

A Few Of E1ls More Recent Vagarles

Every year the insane King of Bava-
ria has new fancy, each one usually
more murderous than the last.
This year the poor monarch's mania
has taken the form of Il passion for
shooting at his attendants. He aims
imaginary guns at the gentlemen who
live in the palace with him, and is great
ly astonished because they do not fall
down dead.
If they wish to humor him and to
make him quite happy they fall down
as if dead, but they take care to jump
up if he approaches them. They are
not certain what he might do.

HATCHlNG A SENSATION.
A Strange Story Told About a
Woman Who Had Mysteries.

EAST GREENWICH, Dec. 5.-There is a
sensational story abroad, which is sup
posed to have some connection with the
discovery of the body of the stranger,
Adams, in the woods. 1t goes like this:
At o'clock Wednesday night hackman
left woman at the house OF Charles
Hopkins He said he had been told by one
of Ben Roses employees TO take her TO
Oaklawn. Ben Is grocer and saloon
keeper about three miles from East Green
wich and within a quarter OF mile OF
where Adams body was found.
The woman had Mysteries and wouldn't
go any farther They took her in and
cared for her, but at midnight she left and
went to Ben Roses and someone is report
ed to have heard her talking to Ben who
opened window. The woman returned
to Hopkins house and had more Mysteries
and veterinary surgeon, who was there
gave her an emetic She left in the morn
ing for Oaklawn. IL is understood that
there are some reasons why the coroner
has decided to eXhume Adams body TO eX-
anime the stomach. Some people think
that things said by the woman while in
Mysteries make it appear that this is wise
course TO take, but the story is considered
a fake"
There were reports that the woman had
said something about Adams having been
at Roses place and of his being put out
after quarrel, etc. There is also story
of Roses paying the woman 300 in
notary public's Office, but the story ac-
counts for that in a satisfactory manner.

LOST IN The HUDSON.
Brick Barges Capsize in the Storm
Off Croton Point.
CREWS WERE PLAYING CARDS.
The Tow Rope Was siackened, the Barges
Crashed Together and Being Top
Heavy Turned Over at Once--Twenty
Lives Reported Lost.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Twelve brick barges,
coming down the Hudson river, We're
struck by violent wind storm off Croton
Point, at nine o'clock last night, and were
capsized. Twenty lives are reported to
have been lost in the wreck. The bodies
of ten men have been recovered. The
barges were i'm the tow of the Cornell Tow
ing Company's steamer Townsend.
The storm came upon them just as they
reached the point. The river is very wide
at this place, and high cross sea was run
ming. As the two came around the point
the waves were so heavy that they began
TO wash over the steamers side. To save
her from laundering il was necessary to
heave To with head To the sea.
The moment the tow lines were cast off
the barges began to drive into one another
and bound about in the seaway.
As they Knocked together some had holes
stove in their sides and sank, and some
caught one against another, and carried
over by their heavy deck loads the waves
and the wind turned them bottom up. All
this happened in n very few minutes. The
crews Of most Of the barges-each barge
carried about five men and boys-were
down below playing cards or telling
stories. The heavy rainfall had driven
everybody from the decks.
No warning seems To nave been given by
the tugboat people when they hove to.
The first the men in the barges knew their
boats.were smashing into each other and
sinking and upsetting. Some had time to
rush on deck and jump into the water.
Many must have been caught in the cabins
like rats in trap and carried down. On
all the barges there were at least fifty per-
sons. OF these only thirty were reported
TO have come ashore. The boats which
ra Hrnnnp1
afloat.
The men who swan ashore had hard
struggle for life in the cold water and the
high surf. As soon as they had landed
and told their story tugs were dispatched
from Haverstraw after the barges.
