Ine Wealth Of the Ex-President.

The ex-president cannot have any need
of making money. He must be at least
comfortably fixed. as indeed he was be.
fore he became president. There is nc
reason to believe that he has spent one
half of the $500, coo which he has received
in salary during the past four years. He
Is a man Of frugal habits. with no ex-
pensive tastes or freaks. He has lived
plainly in the White House. He has
given very few costly entertainments.
He can have spent but little of his own
income upon official account. His name
has not been associated with any specu-
lative adventures. He has not an ex-
pensive family, and the wife whose death
he mourns was an example of the home
ly virtues. a model American woman
and wife. All through his presidency
he has illustrated that republican sim
plicity" of life which Is a tradition of the
White House.-New York Sun.

Miss Whitney's Statue of the Morse Explor-
~. .4 Fnrctny !

Miss Whitney's Statue of the Morse Explor-
er tat Boston.
Boston may now be considered as thor
oughly committed to the theory that
Norsenen antedated Columbus 500 years
in the discovery Of America. 1t took
the Hub o long time to come to this con-
c~lusion, for she had formerly frowned
on the theory. The Massachusetts, His
torical society condemned it, and Histo-
rian Bancroft declared there was moth
ing in it. But in 1872 Ole Bull, the Nor
wegian v%iolinist, declared his belief in
the story of the discovery narrated in
the saga of Eric the Red and wanted a
monument erected to the Morse discov-
ers by the Scandinavians in the United
States. Still Boston frowned and even
refused q gift of $4,000 offered for the
purpose by Thomas Appleton.
Then Professor Rasmus b. andersen,
Edward Everett Hale, Longfellow and
Lowell gave the movement o helpful
shove, and Professor Eben Norton Hors-
ford, guiding himself entirely by the
narrative of the saga, sailed up the
Charles river and into Boston's sacred
Back Bay, and there, near Gerry's land
ing and beyond Lowell's house in Cam
bridge, came upon the remains Of five log
houses, 'some nearer, some farther from
the water" as the saga said they were
built. That settled it for Boston. Since
the earliest explorers had the good taste
to settle ON the Back Bay and were the
pre-established neighbors of such unim-
peachable people as the Lowells, and
since the babe Snorri, son Of Thorfinn
and Gudrid and grandson Of Left the
Lucky, was actually Back Bay born and
according to the saga antedated the
bluest blood of Beacon hill by more than
600 years, why Boston would have to
recognize them after AL.

Prof. Drummond tue greatest living
eyo.utionlst and scientist thus beauti-
fully summed up the relation OF science
to Christianity III his closing lecture at
St. Paul last week; Up TO this time no
word has been spoken here to reconcile
Christianity with science, or science
with Christianity, because the two are
me. What is evolution: 4 method Of
creation. What is it's object? To make
more perfect living beings. What is
Christianity: A method OF creation.
What Is It's object: TO make more per-
feet living beings. Evolution ana
Christianity have the same author and
the same end. The first is useless with
out the second: the second impossible
without the first. Organic evolution
can carry animals up to man, and man
up to manhood. II has no dynamic to
carry him farther. There Christianity
takes up the work and carries him up to
these Two processes. There is not even
a break between them. Christianity
struck into the evolution process with
no noise, nor shock, 0 cataclysm. It
upset nothing Of all that has beef done;
it took ali Of the worlds foundations as
it found them; il adopted mans body,
mind and soul at the exact lcxel where
organic evolution was at work upon
thea. Il carried on the building by
gradual notifications, and by processes
governed by rational laws, it put the
finishing touches to the ascent of man.
