The Religion. Of China.

The three great religions of China are
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taouism.
The bulk Of the people are Buddhists
rather than Confucianists, and there are
millions OF infidels. The tomb Of Con-
fucius is at Mecca, for many OF the Chi
nese, and they make pilgrimages to it.
Confucianism is more philosophy than
q religion. 1t contains many of the beau.
ties which we suppose to be exclusively
the properties of Christianity. The
golden rule in q negative form was an
inundated by Confucius, and as system
of morality it is beautiful. The Taou.sts
have moro superstitions than the Con.
fucianists. They began about the same
time as Confucius, their preacher being
one Laou-Tsze. E
The state religion, in connection with
which all these religions come in, is the
worship of the emperor, who is the son
Of heaven and the prophet, priest and
king of the people. He worships for
them in the temples at Pekin. When
the great Temple Of Heaven was burned
down shudder ran down the 800, 600, 900
spines of the great Chinese nation. Itwas
thought that this was a warning from
heaven that the emperor should be de-
posed.-Frank G. Carpenter in National
Tribune.

"Some former lodger had resented
the candle swindle like ourselves, and
had put his daily allowance where it
would do the proprietor no good. That
night a brilliant illumination of nineteen
candles, each set in its own grease on
the marble top table, gave us something
like light. During our stay we hid and

Mmo. Bs rtholdi.


The late Nine. Bartholdi was no ordi-
nary person, and on her ninetieth birth
day she looked so full of life and beamed
80 with mental vigor and heartiness that
wonder she did not live to hundred.
She was left a widow early, and devoted
herself to the education of her sons and
the stewardship Of their paternal prop
critics, which under her management
were increased to fortunes. Though 80
we'll endowed with the money making
faculty, she was person of generous
disposition and given to hospitality.
In youth she was reputed the hand
somest girl in Alsace. AS an old woman
she was more than handsome. The pure
outlines remained, and the fire of the
kindest, quickest and most lambent pair
of eyes imaginable was never quenched
SO long as life remained. The son must
have had her in his head, as he remem-
bered her in her younger de rs, when he
was sketching the design of the statue
of Liberty Enlightening the World
1t was her idea that Liberty should not
be en- pate de guimauve, but of grave
and severe aspect. Liberty was the best
of all conditions, she used to say, for
those who were severe upon themselves,
and the worst for the self indulgent.
One never saw trace of self righteous
harshness in the old lady. She was very
indulgent toward the erring; but that
grace, she said, came with the wide ex-
perience of old age. It was source of
enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle of
Swans, in the Seine. and leok at the re-
duced copy which was set up there a few
years ago of the famous statue which
now stands at the entrance OF New York
harbor. One of her sayings was, "Do
not repress badness; crowd it outFwith
good dideas."-London Truth.

THE LYCEUM
"The Old and New" by Colonel
Cameron Last Evening

"The Old and New" by Colonel
Cameron Last Evening.
In an address lasting an hour, Col. !.
d. Cameron entertained the members of
the Lyceum society last evening with his
impressions of "Thc Old and the New;
the Past and the Present" Col. Cam
eron is peculiarly fitted to handle sub
ject of this nature in manner that is at
once scholarly and interesting. AS was
aptly remarked by member Of the So
ciety at the close Of the address there is
no man in the State better qualified for
such task. The address was warmly
received by the audience.
The details of COL Camerons address
embraced such details of domestic life,
of the conveniences and comforts of
present daily and nightly existence. of
dress and fashions, of arts and sciences,
of the transmission of the mails and the
rates OF postage, of the modes of travel
by land and water, of the application of
new inventions, of the familiar uses Of
scientific appliances to the facilities OF
labor, comfort and human conveniences,
as to present startling and unexpected
contrasts between the ways ofthe present
and those of the past. Col. Cameron
presented with emphasis the marvellous
changes which had, within his day, mark
cd the growth in territory and enlarge
ment in population which had signaliz-
ed the progress of the United States. A
population of eighteen millions had in
creased to sixty-fve millions. A terri
tory practically limited to the cis-Miss-
issippi region, had spread itself to the
Pacific coast and added to our country
perhaps its richest and most variously
productive possessions. And in connection
with increase of population and expan-
sion of territory was noted the cores
pondent increase in the number otan Eng.
lish speaking people, significant of the in
fuence the English language is destined
to hold upon the future destinies of the
human race. For language, one hun
dred years ago on the tongues of only
thirty millions OF people, is now the
language of the laws, the business
and the familiar intercourse of one
hundred and thirty millions. The Ian
guage of the Bible for so many, it
seems the chosen vehicle for tie diffusion
OF the Scriptures to the uttermost parts
of the earth as the founder of the Faith
destined it to go, before that ful6llment
of Scripture in the end of all things comes
to pass through the erroneous and pre-
cipitate readings of Totten and other:
who do not appear to realize the mo
mentous agency of the late-in-time dis
covery of the New World seems destined
to exert in the grand economy of the
Gospel. "The world shall not pass
away, until all these things be fulfilled.

A PROHlBITIONISTS' TOWN
1T SEEMS TO BE GETTING IN
VERY DEEP WATER.
The First Year There Were Quick
sales of stock and a Big salary
For Fisk, But Now stock Sells
Slow and Money is Called For.

New YORK, Nov. pa late edition Of
the Herald says: An unpleasant alter
native has been thrust upon some OF the
stockholders of the East Tennessee land
company. The returns on their cash in
vestments have not been what they
hoped for. Now they are asked. in a
letter issued by the company, to respond
promptly and substantially" to call
for subscriptions for the FIRST lien pre-
fcrred" stock, or to expect the ap'
pointment of receiver for the company
within so days.
The East Tennessee Land company
was organized three years ago by lead
ing prohibitionists with the object o
founding town that should be forever
free from liquor traffic. The capital o
the company was $3;000,000. The
scheme was advertised in prohibition
papers and $2,000,00O worth OF stock
was soon disposed OF.
General Clinton B. Fisk. prohibition
candidate for President in 1888, was the
first president of the company. He re-
ceived a salary of $4,000 a year. The
site chosen for the town was fifty miles
west of Knoxville and eighty miles north
of Chattanooga. The town grew and
prospered; the liquor traffic was barred
by provisions of the title deed. Today the
population of the town is nearly 5000
and growing. 1t has two banks and
four newspapers.
Cash dividends of six per cent. were
paid on tie stock the first year, Last
year, however, the semi annual dividend
was paid in stock. When the time came
for the next semi annual dividend. in
July last, nothing was paid. Instead II
was found that the company needed
more money. The third million dollars
of the company's stock has not beer
sold. 1t is this which is now to be issued
as first lien preferred" stock.
The Herald also says: "Mr. Vaginal
president of the company, said Yesterday
there was not the slightest danger o
the company going into the hands OF
receiver" "

CHINESE HIGH BLOWERS.
They Wreck a Rival Laundry, 1t
ls Believed.

WARSAW, Ind, Nov. 23.-For several
years three Chinese have been running a
laundry here. About a month ago, W..
Davis, came here from Kentucky
and started steam laundry. He had
secured a good part of the city's trade.
Within the last week two attempts have
been made to burn Davis building, Sus-
picion pointed to the Chinese and they
were watched Last evening one of them
was seen running toward the depot; he
has not been seen since. A few moments
later a terrible explosion was heard,
caused by large dynamite bomb being
thrown into the building Davis used. The
entire building was wrecked, valuable
machinery smashed, and the sleeping
room Davis usually occupied totally de-
molished.
No doubt the intention was to kill
Davis, but it happened that he was not
in the building.
Excitement is high here and everything
points to the guilt of all three OF the
Chinese. Every effort is being made to
find the missing one, while those asso
ciatcd with him are under close guard.
