PFTHAGORIS. THE GREEK.
From Boyhood He Was an Ardent student
of the State.

The most famous Of all the Greek as
tronomers was Pythagoras, who lived on
the lovely island OF Samos, in the Grecian
Archipelago. He left his fathers house
when a youth Of eighteen, in order 10
satisfy his ardent thirst for knowledge.
and went TO the great universities q
Egypt. at HeltOpolis. Memphis, ana
Thebes." writes j.. Ross, in Home and
Country. ole was at Thebes when the
great commander. Cambyses, INVADED
Egvpt: and the Persian c%Onqueror, de-
lighted with the young Greek, took him
to Persepolis, his residence. where he was
initiated into the doctrines Of the Magl'
or hre-worshippers.
He visited the Brahmins, a religious
sect of India. and the Druids, a barbarous
but learned sect in Gaul, and. when he
had learned all that the men of science
i'm his time knew, went home to his be-
loved Greece and founded a school Of
learning and philosophy. In that sunny
cline the philosophers talked TO their
pupils IN the open air, In lovely groves.
where the laurel, cypress. and olive hlled
the air with sweet perfumes and fur-
nished a grateful shade from the hot sun.
In such groves Pythagoras taught his dis
ciples. and the fame Of his teaching eX-
tended through all the world.

be briefly described as follows: The earth,
he claimed. was placed in the centre of
the universe. the sun occupied the centre
Of the planetary world, and the earth re-
volyed around the sun. From observa-
ions Of musical vibrations he was led by
analogy TO extend the same relation TO the
planets, and TO suppose that they emitted
sounds proportional TO their respective
distances. and formed celestial concerts
too lofty in their melodies TO be detected
by the gross organs Of ordinary mortals.
This was the music of sphere so often
mentioned in our literature-the mystic
harmony only heard and understood by
poets and inspired teachers.
"Pvthagoras was the first 10 originate
the Greek phrase kosmOs, which signi-
fes the order Of the universe His lofty
perceptive faculties recognized the har-
mony and orderly arrangement OF all
created things, and the divine order mat
nervades the universe. When we consider
that no optical or mathematical instru-
ments were known to him. n that his
discoveries we're the results alone OF his
unaided intellect, we canno wonder at the
crudeness Of the conclusions he drew, but
only admire the magnitude OF his
achievements. The life OF Pythagoras
was pure and holy, and he commanded
general v-eneratfon. His costume was a
long white tunic, without ornament. He
impaired instructions verbally TO his dis
ciples. who gathered about him like loving
children. and hung upon every word that
fell from his lips. Philolaus, one of the
number. wrote down all the teachings OF
his MASTER"

The construction Of a roller cotton
gin. on an improved and effective plan OF
operation, is a recent addition TO textile
m~echanisms, and is decidedly ingenious.
This novel machine includes a feed apron,
from which the seed cotton is taken by
a spiked roller and transferred 10 a
hopper, the transfer being aided by a
second spiked roller. From the hopper
it is fed, through two elastic surfaced
rollers, to a rapidly revolving beaten
cylinder I'm a chamber partly enclosed by
a screen, through which dirt. &c, nay
fall. The cotton is then delivered by the
beaten cylinder through a chute to a
hopper and is then acted upon by the
larger elastic-surfaced ginning roller and
the smaller hard-surfaced ginning roller.
the latter being supported by several
bearings placed a short distance apart,
to prevent any yielding. The lint is re-
moved from the ginning rolls by a clearer,
covered with overlapping ribs or wings Of
elastic material. and Is finally stripped
by means of a brush wheel. which blows
it to a suitable receptacle.-New York

a contemporary thinks that the objec-
tion of certain Observation-Disclosures to the
Gladstone Home Rule bill feature, which
retains In the British Parliament an
Irish delegation. is not well founded. 1t
Is true. that in nan respects the new
bill gives ireland local privileges not en-
Joyed by Canada. for example. but. on
the other hand. Canada does not need
representatives in Abe British Parlia-
Q to make tariff laws. her local Iegis-

Ireland. IL is only proper that her people

A Washington special states that the
issue Of bonds TO replenish the gold re-
serve IN the Treasury is only a question
OF time. and tina the danger that an
extra session will become necessary if
Congress continues to make needless APP
propriations is strikingly shown by the
Treasury statement for Wednesday. The
declared balance has dropped to s23,0SO,-
Sol. the lowest point known for a decade.
and only a small fraction of this balance
consists Of available legal tender money.
The sum OF sl1 ,23S, S65 is on deposit in
national banks. 81. O4l .542 is in subsidiary
silver coin, and $513,4 Az is in minor coin
and fractional paper. The reduction Of
these three items from the declared bal
ance would leave the Treasury with the
paitry sum of s2S6. All scattered through
a dozen sub-Treasuries TO meet it's or

of tho gold balance is s107, 22S, 46S, but this
includes the $500. 900 which was taken

The Chicago Herald is anticipating Sc
rious entanglements with Hayti, which
nay eventually lead TO the annexation
of that island. If the Hawaiian precedent
is established. It is led TO this state OF
trepidatiDn, because the United States
Government is on the verge OF Kicking
a quarrel with Hayti on account OF Fred
erick Merv. a citizen of Boston. but hav-
ing a business house and temporary resi-
dence at Port au Prince. Mr.. Merv was
arrested near the water front at Port au
Prince on a charge OF smuggling. but
hours. He claims damages for some
fabulous sum. and wants the United
States TO send a fleet and an army there
10 enforce his demands. Besides this,
an American syndicate is reported 10
nave purchased much land in Hayti, md
TO ave loaned President Hippolyte's
Government a large sun OF money, talk
ing q mortgage on a part OF the Hay
ten revenues for security. This also
means future claims and complications
In which the United States will be asked
to interfere. From all this. II is feared
that a movement will eventually be made
to annex the island and pay the deposed
officials liberal pensions. II Hawaii is
annexed. and the precedent is once es-
tablished. there will be good reason TO
fear hat the annexation fever will grow
until all the West Indies are absorbed
by the great North American Republic.
