IN an article on the scientific study O. religion Century writer is of the opin- ion that science exercises and develops functions which are not essentially an- tagonistic to religion; but they are not the functions of religion, and, if they be given first place in our interest, re- igious growth must deteriorate in pro portion to its neglect The functions of religion must be exercised, or they will become incapable of action; they must be educated or they will become weak and useless. Scientific study, though extremely fascinating, though it fills us with exalted notions of the complexity, of the universe, and of the
 wonderful harmony of its correlations, leads us to no hope; we find in it only stern, relentless law; 1t has no feeling. and its end is certain death. Unless
 those religious functions which conduct
 us to that other world of religious be- lief are kept alive scien ce is of little
 profit.

SURPRISE AT NORTHAMPTON.
l Citizens Regret the Deal, as Union With the Consolidated Was Preferred.

Citizens Regret the Deal, a Union With
 the Consolidated Was Preferred.
 NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 1.-The purchase of & controlling interest ill the Connecticut River railroad by the Boston & Maine railroad has surprised the natives. It was suspected by some of the directors that such a move would be attempted, but they thought it could not possibly succeed.
 The change of owners and the failure of the Consolidated road to complete it's lease of the Connecticut River road is very much regretted by leading citizens here, as it was thought this citys inter- ests would be best served by union with the Consolidated road.
 It would have removed several grade crossings in the city, and given North ampton one depot and better facilities in every way.
 The officers of the Consolidated road were in town yesterday looking over the ground for the purpose of deciding what they would do when the lease of the Con- necticut River road was made by the stockholders of the Consolidated, which was expected to occur Dec. 23.

Thanksgiving Day South.

In regard tS the neglect of the south ern people to properly observe day of general thanksgiving each year the Charleston IS. C. News has this to say:
 Speaking of Thanksgiving, it is a pity that it is not more generally ob- served at the south than it is. We ex- cuse ourselves by saying that Christ mas takes it's place, but it does not; the associations of the day are, or should be, of a more spiritual nature than gratitude for the supply of our tenn poral wants during the year. Of course there are church services-very slimly attended-and it is legal holiday, so that business is generally suspended. We might take hint from the Puritan custom of making it day of family re- unions without doing much violence to the memory of our Cavalier ancestors. A few congregations have of late years converted it into kind of harvest home festival, decorating their churches with grain and fruit, the latter being afterward distributed to those to whom it is luxury"

BLAMES THE AMERICANS.
The "TimeS" Says the Failure of the Mons
 tary Conference Was Due to Us.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The "Times," re- ferring to the International Monetary Con- ference, says:
 "The American delegates must be held largely responsible for the ignominious failure of the Conference. America called the meeting as if prepared with practical scheme, and then offered only vague plati- tudes.

IN order to vote in Maine it is now necessary to know how to read and write, a constitutional amendment to that effect having been adopted. As a consequence the evening schools in that state are being largely attended, and in some towns are overcrowded. It is admitted by many of the pupils that they attend solely for the purpose of acquiring the knowledge that will gain them the right of suffrage.

 ROME, Dec. 1.-The statement by Archbishop Corrigan, published in New York paper in September last, in regard to a settlement of the differences between the Church and Rev. Father McGlynn, has received full confirmation at the Vatican.

It can be stated on the highest authority that the Pope has given special power to Mon signor Satoli, his Holinesss Ablegate in America, to settle the case.

THERE is said to be a distressing amount of lunacy in Ireland, the num- Der of cases per 100000 of population having increased from 249 in 1880 to 335 in 1891. Some time ago a traveller noted that song had almost entirely de- parted from the Emerald isle and that the pick of the young people had emil grated, leaving chiefly the old and the infantile behind. Perhaps these facts furnish an explanation of the spread of insanity.

SPEAKER CRIsP's mail has been un- usually large this week, owing to the unfortunate occurrence at the banquet of the New York Reform club, but he still maintains the dignified position he has occupied from the first. He has made no complaint and will make none, and neither he nor his friends have even for moment enter tained the belief that President Elect Cleveland had any other connection with the banquet than that of the chief guest of honor. As usual the republi- cans have tried to make mountains out of mole hills, and to make it appear that the democratic party was already divided into two great factions, with the president-elect at the head of one and the speaker of the house at the head of the other. It is the wish to see the democratic party divided that is father to the false statement.

It is not probable that the re- publican senators will allow the resolu- tion to go through, but if the informa- tion asked for was in print it would be mighty useful document to those democrats who have hankering to get on Uncle Sam's pay roll.

SENATOR VEST s resolution providing for commission to negotiate an agree ment with the five civilized tribes of Indians for them to take up land in severalty and sell the remainder to the government so that 1t might be opened for settlement, has been the basis for
 some interesting talk in the senate, showing that while there are differences of opinion as to just how they shall be abolished there is practical unanimity in the belief that the present separate and independent government main tained by those Indians must give way to territorial government. The sena- tors express themselves as wishing that the logic of the situation will so impress itself upon the Indians that they will themselves see the wisdom of change.
