PROF. HAMLIN's LECTURE.
Something About the Old European
Cathedrals and the style.

Prof A. ID. +. Hamlin, Of the Columbia
School of Mines, delivered his second lee
ture last night in Manning hall. He said
most interesting feature that natura ly at
tracts the attention Of the traveller in
European countries IL Is that OF the cathe-
drals. Not because OF the massive pile of
stone so artistically fitted together. but
that they are the embodiment Of the medi-
Pval ideas.
ST. Patrick's cathedral Of New York Is
patterned after some Of the medieval
forms, but does not possess such historic
interest as do those Of Amiens and
Cologne, Westminster Abbey and others.
Certain orders I'm the church, as the Bene.
dictions, built monasteries whose massive
buildings serve as examples of the archi-
lecture of the Eleventh century.
At this time Abbays were more numer-
Gus than Cathedrals. The Cathedrals
were in the beginning of the period OF
gothic architecture, not very large rs COM
pared with those of the middle and end Of
the l3t.. Century. They were originally
intended 10 be the church of the Bishop.
But at the close OF the 18th Century the
Bishops began to possess greater powers
and the Monasteries began To decline, hence
the Cathedrals were built on much lar.
ger scale than they had formerly been.
Few cathedrals surpass those of Amiens
and Rheims. The cathedral OF Amiens l.

lecture In existence. In the architecture
~ this building there is a great variety.
New ideas were wrought into the struc.
ture hy re various artists, and it stands
1873 feet 10 the ceiling OF the side aisles,
and covers an area Of 1000 square feet.
The architecture of Germany and Eng

Sunken Cities.
t. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic. II
Dozens of cities and not few in
considerable towns mentioned by
ancient writers have partially or
wholly disappeared beneath the
waves of the restless oceans. One of
these was Bangala, which stood near
Chittagong and which appears to
have given its name to Bengal.
Potolemy mentions a seaport called
Komaria, which stood on Cape
Comarin, in India. OF this city the
sole relic is a rock in the sea, having
in its centre well of fresh water.
Plassy, the place where Cline gained
his greatest victory, has been swept
to the last vestage by the River
Hooghly. Ravenspur, on the east
coast of England, was long since
swept away by the gradual inroads
of the channel. Town Bank, near
Cape May, N. j., is so.called from a
town which once stood on the coast,
but which is now covered by the
waters Of the Delaware Bay. Wales
also has its sunken city which tradi>
ton has placed in Lake Llangorse.
The famous city of Is was somewhere
along the coast of Brittany, and
various places are now pointed out to
the tourist as its original site. There
is said to be sunken city in Ger
many somewhere in the vicinity of
the Island of Rugen; on calm days it
is even said that one may hear the
bells of the city as they are being
rocked back and forth by the waves.
w. Muller's famous lyric is based on
this old superstition. The first stanza
of this exquisite little poem runs as
follows:
Harki the faint bells OF the sunken city
Peal once more their wonted evening
chimes.
From the deep abyss floats ditty,
Wild and wondrous, OF the olden time.
In addition to these l might men.
ton Amalff, the sinking of which is
celebrated in a poem by Longfellow,
and Savanna-la-Mar, which went
down in West Indian earthquake
and was immortaIized by De Quin-
cey. The ancient Greeks alleged that
the cities of Burs and Helica were
sunk in the sea, where the houses and
spires were plainly visible for years.
The waters of the Indian Ocean now
flow and ebb over the site Of old
Calicut, the place from which our
"calico" takes its name. According
to De Peyster's "History of Caran-
sius" the town and port of Scarphont,
which stood on the shore of Flanders,
was overwhelmed and swallowed by
the sea in the year 1884. See note in
above work, page III.

A HEALTHY ALPHABET.

AS soon as you are up shake blanket and
sheet;
Better be without shoes than sit with wet
feet;
Children, if healthy, are active, not still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both
make you i'll.
Eat slowly and always chew your food well,
Freshen the air in the house where you
dwell
Garments should never be made too tight;
Homes should, be healthy, airy, and light
If you wish TO be well, as you do, no doubt,
Just open the window before you go out,
Keep the room always tidy and clean;
let dust on the furniture never be seen;
Much illness is caused by the want of pure
Dir,
Now to open your windows be always your
care;
Old rags and old rubbish should never be
kept;
People should see that their floors are well
swept.
Quick movements in children are healthy
. and right;
Remember the young can not thrive with
out light
See that the cistern is full to the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and
TRIM
Use your nose to find if there be bad
drain
Very sad are the fevers that come in its
train.
Walk as much as you can without feeling
fatigue
X.erxes could walk full many league.
Your health is your wealth, which your
wisdom must keep,
Zeal will help good cause, and the good
you will reap

robbed the government treasury nest.
They have Systematically fleeced the
farmer. AS political sharks they
have demanded heavy toll OH all the
farmers products and have dropped
their feathers where they done the
dirty work, and l am for their i'm
mediate overthrow, and 1t can't well
be done while the old Alliance ship
is sailing on the high seas of DemOc-
racy trying to control its course and
destiny, captained and pilOted by
Mcdowell & Co. The old Alliance
ship has floated in strange waters
until it has lost its latitude, lost its
compass, lost its head light, lost its
hearings. Mcdowell & Co., have
hooked it in the gilIs. They have
clipped its fore.castle, trimmed its
Democratic sails, topped its agricul-
tural bloom, snagged its hull, SILVER
ed its wheel-house, cut its rudder,
captured its cargo, and are now try
ing TO run it into their own corrupt
port of anchorage, and if the Alliance
brethren ever expect to derive any
good from their noble order they had
better ring it up, bring it back to the
farmers home and run it under the
hayseed shelter for repairs. l don't
like these doodle bug kind of Demo-
cratic leaders, who hide themselves
under shelving rocks and come out
only late of an evening when they
want pie for supper. l want them to
come out early in the morning,
blooming fresh with the dews OF open
Democracy. What can be more pitt
full than a Sinking, squirming Demo
cratic leader, and il maddens me to
see them squirm. 1 like a bold, ag-
gressive leader, and he must be a
poor apology of a man or candidate
who cannot come out on the hastings
and line off an honest position of his
political views. A candidate who is
true Democratic adherent will hang
his hammock under the old Jeffer-
sonian Democratic roof, and then
and there swing out his destiny in
open view of the voting world. 1t
takes grit, sand, pluck, fortitude and
Spartan courage to make the ham,
mock swing, but the candidate who
makes such a swing is worth ten
times more to his party even in his
defeat than the clam, the doodle bug,
the squirmer, the oyster closed shells
the dodger and political coward is
worth to his party in success.

Religion and Railroads

The Houston Post tells the follows
ing story of an aroused conscience
and restitution to wrOnged railroad:
The Houston and Texas Central
Railroad believes in encouraging
those who do good. 1t was published
in the Post some time ago that while
Messrs. Burnett and Mulkey, the
evangelists, were holding series of
meetings at Van Alstynp, a lady
went to the ticket agent of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central and bought
three tickets to Dallas and one to
Sherman. She Immediately tore the
tickets into small pieces and threw
them down near the ticket Office.
The ticket agent was aroused to some
curiosity by this strange behavior, AS
he had not been accustomed to seeing
tickets good for ride over the "Old
Reliable" torn into shreds. He ac>
cordingly made inquiries and he
found out that the lady had been at
tending meetings of the evangelists.
The lady had by giving the wrong
age of her children defrauded the
railroad company out of the amour
for which she purchased the tickets.
She therefore took this method of
restoring it to the company, The
pieces of tickets, together with the
explanation, were sent to Captain A.
Faulkner, general passenger agent of
the Houston and Texas Central.

RUTHERFoRD's RATHER.

"Rattler" has grown tired of rum
ming for office among the unappreci-
alive Rutherford countians, and so
he has concluded to make race
down in Obion. He writes the Obion
Democrat a long letter in which he
offers himself a willing sacrifice upon
Democratic altar as an aspirant for
Legislative honors in Obion next
year. His letter concludes with this
declaration of principles:
Fellow-citizens of Obion, shall be
unusually bold, plain and outspoken
in my views and am pronounced
against the Alliance because they are
pronounced against us capitalists, us
bonded aristOcrats, us mOnOpolists,
us corporations, and that is direct
thrust at me. l am also against the
Alliance because they are against
trusts, when they know that if it was
not for trust that thousands of poor
farmers could not get coffee, sugar,
spun truck and dye-stuffs for their
wives, tucking combs, hair pins and
chewing gum for their daughters.
And that, too, is another direct thrust
ut me. / am for the sub.treasury
plan from beginning to finish. Why?
Because treasury means money-a
great big government built full of
money, and sub means under, and /
want to submarine the treasury and
yank out some of its money, and |
am for it, and that is just why Nc
Dowell q Co., are for it. l am keen
and anxious for the land loan scheme,
for if any of the Alliance brethren
want to loan me few acres of land
and then fling in a little sub treasury
to agriculturate it with, why then ]
would be a burned fool not to accept
it. That's business and l am for il.
But when it comes to Democracy,
want the old.fashioned sort, straight
from the cup to the lip, without any
Alliance sugar, sub,treasury and
land loan acids in mine. Brother
TaImage says he has got no faith in 8

doctors in reach but found ouly temporary
relief; the pains were so bad at times that
didn't care whether lived or died. My di.
gestion became so impaired that everything

fered so intensely with dyspepsia that her
life was burden to her; she would be con.
fined to her bed for weeks at a time; she also
suffered greatly from giddiness and loss of
sleep. Some time in March l was advised
to take P. p, P, and before we (my wife and
y had finished the second bottle of P. P. p,
our digestion began to improve. My pains
subsidized so much that have been able to
work, and am feeling like doing what l
haven't done before in number of years.
We will continue taking P. P. P. until we
are entirely cured, and will cheerfully re.
commend il to all suffering humanity.
