In order to satisfy scientific men as to
the real cause Of Professor Helmholtz's
death, says the London Telegraph's Ber-
lin correspondent, post mortem exam
ination was made at the desire of his
relatives, the chief results of which are
as follows: AS a consequence of the par
alytic strokes the left portion of the
brain was considerably softened, while
the right portion was perfectly normal
and sound. The brain displayed unusu-
ally numerousEsrebral situations, such
in the brains of persons of very great
intellect. The physicians and patholo-
gists who conducted the examination
were extremely interested in what
they saw, and a cast of the brain was
Immediately taken. Other organs of
the body showed some signs of disorder,
but in his lifetime the deceased had not
experienced any Inconvenience there
from.

One of the obvious but too often for
gotten demands of the Thanksgiving
day is active charity. 1t should be
welcomed by everybody as an occasion
to help some one not SO we'll conditi-
oned as one sself. This is Christianity
in action. It's field may DO the next
house, the Eext street, wherever men
and women suffer. There is at this
time in this place an unusual call for
the offices of sweet charity. The close
of the day should find the resources
of our organized benevolent associat-
ions very materially increased. The
act of worship will be incomplete un-
less ones loaf is shared and another's
burden lightened. These are the plain
and simple maxims, the religion of
the Thanksgiving season. They who
do not keep them will miss the true
meaning of the day.

The Department of State has re-
ceived dispatch from Minister Ter
rel at Constantinople announcing the
results of explorations at the ruins of
Niffer, near ancient Babylon, by an
association of Philadelphia gentlemen
formed in 1888 under the name of the
Babylon Exploration Fund" DR..
Peters and Prof. Heilpricht, of the
University of Pennsylvania, began to
work, and it is still continued by DIR.
Peters. From one hundred and fifty
to two hundred and fifty Arabs have
been constantly employed.
In the mum ser of tablets, bricks, in
scribed vases, and in the value of Gu
neiform texts, found, this American
enterprise rivals the explorations of
Layard at Ninevah, and Rassams at
Albu- Halba. DIR. Heilbricht remains
at the museum in Constantinople at
the request of the Turkish Govern
ment, translating Inscriptions and ar
ranging tablets, bowls and vases used
from one to four thousand years before
Christ. Many toys have already been
secured; the enterprise has revealed
an antiquity of the human race near
ly ten centuries older than had before
been acknowledged by Biblical stu
dents. The report of the minister is
very long and full of details of inter-
est to archaelogists.

CALL BANKER HILL OFF.

1t is unfortunate for the bankers that
they are allowing a few audacious mem
bers of their class to become offensive
in speech. The language used by
Banker Hill in an interview Christmas
day is ridiculous.
Banker Hill says in speaking of the
president of the United States and his
head of affairs could 60 out and makea
good living; not one could command q
salary of $1,000 a year from any
large commercial house; and these are
the men that are trying to adjust our
financial affairs"
The aforesaid Banker Hill would
probably argue in the same strain
that Abraham Lincoln should never
have been president because he could
not have gone to New York and held
down a $50 week job in a banking
establishment; or that Thomas Jeffer-
son had no right to draft constitu-
ton until he had proved that he was
worth a comfortable salary as a cash
Ter in a grocery house; or that Andrew
Jackson was totally incompetent be-
cause he couldn't keep books; or that
Grant was an upstart in war because
he did not make success at tanning.
From Hills language it is plain to be
seen that Carlisle and Cleveland know
more in a second than Hill will be able
to accumulate in lifetime. Very few
people indorse their plan for the re-or-
ganization of the currency. In fact
very few people desire anyone, expert
or amateur. to NEEDLE with so tender
thing as the currency of this country,
whose life is SO dependent on undis-
turbed confidence.
But they do resent any assumption
on the part of bankers that all the
financial wisdom and common sense
in this country is corraled behind the
bank counters.
Even if Banker Hill had fallen into
the fault of any such thought he GER
tainly should have had the gumption
to have left it unspoken. 1t works an
injury to all the bankers in the country
because it intensifies a public belief
that the bankers of the country are in
clined to take possession of the country |
and arrogate all business knowledge |
and power to themselves.
Mr.. Hills brother bankers should |
call him Off the perch. ros

DEVICES OF SMUGGLERS.
ON the Washington Budget.

Prom the Washington Budget
Few people, we fancy, have ever seen
the Smugglers' museum down the river
at her majesty's customs. Here is a
short description of few of the Curl
osities which it contains, and few
sketches of the artful lodges of SNUG

Going up stairs we came to perhaps
the most interesting part of the whole
tour-the Smuggling museum.

COMMENDABLE TREASON

The elimination and recrimination
going on before the Lexow committee
would be amusing if it were not so
serious to those who have suffered by
Tammany rule, and so disgusting on
the part of those engaged in it. The
loud talk about ''peaching on friend"
and turning traitor to confederates"
is only so much bravado, intended TO
partially excuse the most contemplate
lot Of thieves that ever disgraced the
American continent. What claims
have the Scoundreis upon any rule of
justice or fairness in their gigantic or
ganized scheme of robbery? Even If
it is an oath-bound compact. what
right have they to claim fidelity or
loyalty TO such q cause: The obliga-
