bers of the Scotch mission came suddenly
upon number of crocodiles while they
were out hunting one day. The enormous
saurians were lazily basking in the sun,
but despite the admonitory "Shp' of one of
the nimrods they took alarm at the ap-
proach of the strangers and beat hasty
retreat toward the water, which all Of
them entered except one straggler, whom
the hunters succeeded in catching by the
tail, when the amusing scene depicted in
the accompanying illustration ensued.
The four natives who seized the crocodile
by that portion of his anatomy which
would have entered the water last, had he
succeeded in eluding them, were swayed
violently from side to side by the violent
writhing of the powerful creature, but
they held on manfully until Mr.. F. Moir
had got his camera around in front of him,
when, click! and the great African am
phibian had had his picture ''took." The
sequel was particularly sad one for the
crocodile, for after the "sitting'' he was
dispatched by rifle shot.

"The Owls Nest" is located. He has
also founded town-Belleville-n
Detroit. Mr.. Bell has always been pos
sessed of apparently unlimited wealth.
and he has therefore had plenty of leis-
ure time to devote to his favorite pas
time, study and research into matters
both ancient and modern. His views
on marriage are very pronounced, an
article of his reading:
From analogy do not see why marriage
should be exempt from the vicisstudes which
attend business affairs or that the failures in
it should far outnumber the successes. But
this fact is by no means disparagement of
marriage; just as failures in business are no
argument against business in general. Failures
in ordinary business are mostly owing to bad
calculations or too sanguine views, too much
credulity or trustfulness In human nature.
For precisely the same reasons marriage is
much more likely to be a failure.
Mr.. Bell has no love for John Calvin
and his doctrines, and has declared his
hostility in print, but he also asserts
that 81 have never in my life written
word against religion; indeed am the
last person in the world to do so. I
merely venture to speak my objections
to the confounding of religion with mere
ignorant beliefs. The antiquity of these
does not in my eyes confer any merit
upon them. I reject with feeling of
perfect security ancient religious beliefs
as we'll as ancient astronomical beliefs,
Why should accept the Mosaic astron-
omy or the Ptolemaic system? respect
both. Six thousand years from their
period the principle of gravitation was
discovered. Progress has been made in
astronomy. Am I to force myself to be-
ieve that progress cannot be made in
religious ideas? Surely not. Ignorance
may be the mother of devotion, but de-
yotion is not religion; otherwise the saw
age African, humbling himself before
his fetch of colored rags, is as pious
and religious as any of the saints of the
calendar. The religion of creeds and
professions of faith, in my view, leads
in directions that eventually undermine
religion. Charity is lost sight of; big
otry, fanaticism and merciless cruelty
take its place. Instead of religion, be-
hold hypocrisy, pharisaism and the
rivalry Of contending factions eager to
gain adherentsw
One of the old gentleman's great fads
is sacred music, and his collection of
compositions of Bach, Beethoven, Mo-
Zart, Schubert and other celebrities is
large. The catalogue of it is in six vol
umes folio of 500 pages each. There is
music of all nations--of all times, an
cient and modern. There are over 1 200
pieces of Irish music, at least 600 of
Schubert's, and so on.
In spite of Mr.. Bells pronounced
views on many subjects he is delight

ist. An afternoon passed in his H.
brary is like visit to some wonderful
world of books, and his residence is a
mine of art treasures and valuable Gu

Religious Differences.

In the greater concerns of life there
are wonderful illustrations of the con-
ficts of opinions. There are something
over 1,200,000,000 of human beings in
the world. Among these are six va
rieties of religious belief; three of these
are said by one class to be false, and by
others three are said to be the true re-
ligion. And yet every religionist, every
sectarian claims that he and she alone
are right. What our Chinese neighbors
say is ''true" we say is "false." We call
them s'heathens" class us as ''out-
side barbarians."
What we English speaking people
think is the right and the true religion
is in a startling minority in human be-
lief or religious creed-for there are
only some 100000 Christians in all
the world. There are some 5000, 900
Jews, and they have clung with singular
persistency in all ages to their religious
belief; it is seldom Jew renounces his
faith; it is more seldom that Chris
tian embraces Judaism. There are
more than 400,000.00 people who are
pagans and Mohammedans.- Detroit

the Parliament hill fields between Hamp-

James Darlington Haynes, aged three
years, the son of railroad contractor
living near Parliament hill, was anus
ing himself by digging with wooden
spade in the fields, when he discovered
buried in the soil several articles of solid
silver, manufactured, it is supposed, 200

two pilgrims bottles, two candlesticks

sixty ounces. The articles are valued at
