to attempt thus to escape from It's conse-

The Moral Effect Of a shave.

1t is matter of public interest and cause
for general gratitude that the Hon. CHARLES
EYMEITUs JONES OF st. Louis has shaved
OF many ancient preiudices as well as
those whiskers which were the pride OF two
States and the wonder OF all. In his hirsute
condition at least one brain lobe and
a half had to be employed in the task OF
feeding. cultivating. tending. and training
those beautiful capillary vineyards. Much
was gained for beauty. but much WAS lost
to pure and applied thought. To lead the
world Of whiskers aud the world OF politics
was too much for any man to under
take. aud the glory OF JONES became his
burden. He grew fretful. restless. splen-
etic. There we're times when we feared
that nnGrasthenla would pluck him by
tie chin. His daily cerebral exosmose
grew to enormous figures. In the shade OF
his whsEcrs his political Intelligence be-
came cold and thin aud narrow. He felt the
disease himself. and no chose the heroic
remedy. The steel that smote OF the orna-
msnts Of his beauty. rendered him to him

The death Of JOHN Couch ADAMS. an

ure from among tho astronomers of our
time. ADAMS was known as the co-discoverer

story OF that discovery is classic in the annals

imagination with mathematical analysis OF
the highest order. and the dramatic conflrma-
tion Of the nathematicians' prediction fur

the mysterious planet. which they with tho

1t is gratifying news from st. Petersburg
that the Gear of Russia has adopted measures
for the relief OF the famine stricken provinces
OF his dominions. and has ordered one Of his
high functionaries to purchase vast quantity
OF wheat. which will be distributed by military
officers.
There are two things to he borne In mind
about the Russian famine One OF them is that
there is an abundance OF grain In Russia. and
the other is that tho Cars Government docs
not desire charitable contributions to be sent
to it from foreign countries.
In regard to the supplies that are at hand.
the fact that the Gar has ordered the imme.
diate purchase Of 100000 rubles' worth OF
wheat in eastern Russia is all the information
that is necessary. The harvests OF last year in
the greater part OF the empire were as large as
usual 1t was mainly In the fertile grain grow.
ing regions along tho river Volga that last
years crops were failure. and 1t Is from there
that We have had the reports OF destitution.
As to the sending OF relief through the Con-
gress OF this country. 1t Is proper to observe
that the Cars Government, which possesses
all the resources needed to meet any emer-
gency in any part OF its territory. has not
sought such relief. and must regard the offer
Of 1t an obtrusive.
We may further remark that tho amount of
grain contributed by our Western milers, and
for the transportation OF which Congress is
asked to furnish shin. would be Of Lut slight
service in Russia. and Is insignificant when
compared with the amount purchased by order
Of the Car.

Fifty-eight members OF the Harvard fac

university that the so-called "Dudleian SER
mon" should not be delivered this year. PAUL
DUDLEY. CHIEF Justice OF Massachusetts. dicd

for the support OF an annual sermon or lecture
on ono OF these four subjects. treated in sue.
cession: Natural religion. the Christian re-
liCion. the errors of the Roman Catholic
Church. and the validity OF the ordination Of
ministers according to tho ancient custom OF
New England. Fer many years the sermons
were delivered regularly. and doubtless tho
subject OF the third sermon proved tempting
to many theOlogians. especially as no persons
were present to object to the arguments ad-
duced in support OF the general thesis. Some
years ago tho lectures were discontinued. to
be begun again II year ago with lecture on
1.-The confirmation. illustration. and improve
ment OF the great articles Of the Christian re-
lgion." This yenr the subject must EXPOSE
the idolatry Of the Romish Church. its tyranny
usurpaton. and damnable baseness. fatal
errors. abomnabls superstitions. and other
crying wickednesses in their high places"
Tho corporation replied to it's petitioners
that the subject of tho sermon could not be
changed without danger Of committing a
breach OF trust which might terminate the
whole trust: Furthermore. said the corpora
ton. tho opportunity may well be taken in
delivering this third lecture to sootho and
allay tho ani,nosities and bitterness of tho
past. and deal with these questions in a broad.
scholarly. and magnnnimous spirit" Tho
corporation seems to view tho questions pre-
scnted by the obligatory subject OF tho lecture
in that same spirit: and last year it gave an
earnest OF its feeling by obtaining. rs the Dud-
leian lecturer on the Christian religion. the
