ABOUT THE STATION.

Deebur Morgan and Daniel Pointer were
arrested last night by Officer Betson on
charge of stealing some horse blankets
larceny WAS entered against them and
they were locked up.
Warren Smith lost a dog and made
complaint about 1t at the station. He
wants the dog asd wants it before an Of
ficer may kill it on account Of its having
no muzzle on.
A chimney sweep hit the town
yesterday. He wore the traditional
sweeps high black cap but his physical
proportions were such that even the
children that believe in Santa Claus would
never imagine him passing down a Chin
ney. He had a card on his cap that said
he was No. s, and belonged to the A me-i-
can Union OF Sweeps, vino were opposed
to further importations. He had a voice,
thai from being exercised in the open air,
could wake the echoes through the streets,
and when taken to the station as Il drunk
last night had so cents and a
bag of tools. He WAS obstreperous and
fought the sergeant all the way down
stairs. When locked up he proposed to
clean out the prison and it took Deacon"
Smiths pugnaciousness and two or three
we'll directed blows to settle him. He will
be "kangarooed" in the morning.
The loafer sign is doing some good, but
the regular stters are still holding on.
They are not all bad people that go to the
police station and many who go there to
make reports of losses of property do not
care to have their business exploited over
the city and the officers complain that
they cannot have any privacy in their
office by reason of the loafers.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The management take pleasure in an
nouncing the engagement at the Crawford
Grand, Monday, Feb. q, of the Booth
Barrett production of Julius Caesar"
universally pronounced by the press and
people throughout the country rs being
the greatest production OF the play ever
presented in America. The company pre-
senting the play is one Of the finest ever
organized for the presentation of the le-
gitimate drama, which should be double
assurance of liberal patronage. Mr..
Chas. Hanford, who heads the company, is
regarded as one o. the most brilliant and
promising Shakespearean actors of the
day, having been pronounced by the press
and public the greatest Marc Antony"
the American stage has ever known. Mr..
Booth and Mr.. Barrett both pronounced
him such, and during his tour of two
successive seasons through the country in
the part, he shared equally the honors
with these two great stars.
His company, including Mr.. E. r. Spen-
Ger az 'Cassius" and Mr.. Bennett Matlack
as ''Brutus," is an unusually strong one
each member of the large cast having been
especially selected not only for his or her
ability as an actor or actress, but as near
ly as possible with reference to historical
likeness for the role played.

SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY.
Mixing the Two Led Early Christian II
vestigators Ear Astray.

Mixing the Two Led Early Christian In
vestisaeors Ear Astray.
The greatest theologians aided In de-
veloping the fetiohism in which much
of this pseudo-science was grounded,
remarks Dr.. Andrew D. White in an
article on the transition from magic to
modern chemistry, in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. One question largely
discussed was whether at the redemp-
ton 1t was necessary for God to take
the human form Thomas Aquinas an
swered that it was necessary, but VIII
liam OCEAN and Duns Scotus answered
that 1t was not; that God might have
taken the form of stone, or of a log,
or OF beast The possibilities opened
to wild substitutes for science by this
sort Of reas oning were infinite.
Men have often wondered how it was
that the Arabians accomplished SO
much in scientific discovery as COM
pared with Christian investigation; the
reason Is not far to seek; the Arabians
were comparatively free from these
mystic alluremeuts, these theologic
modes of thought which In Christian
Europe fiickered in the air on all sides,
Turing men into paths which led no
whittier.
Strong invest igators like Arnold de
Nnlanova, RAYMOND Lully, Basil Valen-
tine, Paracelsus, and their compeers,
were thus drawn far out of the only
paths which led to fruitful truths. In a
work generally ascribed 20 Arnold of
.slanova, the student is told that in
fixing his chemicals he must repeat
the psalm Exsurge Domino, and that on
certain chemical vessels must be placed
the last words of Jesus on the cross
Vincent de Beauvais Insists that as the
Bible declares that Noah, when FIVE
hundred years old. had children born to
him. he must have possessed alcheuical
means of preserving life: and much
later Dickinson insists that the patri~
archs generally must have ow ID their
long lives to such means. 1t was loudly
declared that the reality of the philoso-
piers stone was proved by the words Of
St John in the Revelation: TO the
victor viii give white stone"

benjamin Butler had his senti.
ment. Never was he seen without a
rose in his button-hole. His wife, who
died in 1873, bred in him a taste for the
flower, and he supplied a conservatory
for the cultivation of this flower. She
always sent him fresh flowers daily
when he was absent from home, and
after her death roses came 10 him each
day from that conservatory, NO matter
where he might be.

INDIAN CORN.
The stormy winter had not fed

The stormy winter had not fed
That saw New England born
When white men ate the red mems breaf
And called 4: Indian Corn"
II came, blessing in distress,
To that poor pilgrim band,
Like mama in the wilderness
Sent down from Gods own hand
They sowed its yellow kernels On
Their hills Sud valleys new,
And harvests green as Lebanon
And rich as Egypt grew:
It's gardens were Hops's dwelling piaca.
Its stock was Picntys tree,
II fed the millions Of rcce
That spread from sea 70 sea
And now where Freedom builds her nest
And reags her eagle brood
The heartbeats of each patroit breast
BeSpeak that stalwart food
No dainty feast for pampe-ed kings,
No sweet for gluttons' spoil,
It's strength nations sinews strings
To deeds of glorious toll
Bring cakes Of Scotland's oatmeal gray.
And German barley brown,
By all the rye Of Russia lay
The wheat OF Egypt down,
And pour the rice of East and South
From Amalthea' 8 horn
Their SAVIOR shall not tempt q mouth
That knows good Indian Corn
No seed where labor is not free
Can yield such life as yields
The golden grain Of Liberty
That crowns Columbias fields.
We love the bread that saved our sires
When hungry ana foriorn.
And every autumn feest inspires
Our praise OF Indian Corn.
Though men OF monarch-ridden lands
On thinner fare may thrive,
They miss the fruit OF sun ana sands
That keeps great hearts alive;
And, foe to tyrants, kin and kith,
A Samson stands unshorn
In Saxon power and Yankee pi:h
That grows with Indian Corn
It's mark Is on Inventions Age,
The force of high emprise
To brawny smith and brainy sa9c
Its wealth alike supplies;
Its nurture alien souls indebts
And cures disloyal scorn,
And Anarchy its rage forgets
When fed on Indian Corn
Mondamfn, Ceres Of the westi
Along the winds OF fame
That whisper from thy Queeniy crest
Thy sweet barbarian name,
Come voices Of Arcadian peace,
And from historic morn
Sing all the sheafy fields Of Greece
A song for Indian Corn
Thou emblem grain, our civic piantl
In zone of sun or snow,
Where prairies roll or mountains slant
In ristling beauty grow.
Thy plume our nations tower shall stand,
And, on her bosom worn,
ShaQ shine, the standard OF the land,
Our golden Indian Corn.
