AN AMERICAN DUCHESS.

It is said that the most prodical giver in
England at Christmas-time to rich and poor,
hospitals and almshouses, as well as to rela-
tives and friends, was the American Duchess
of Marlborough, formerly Mrs Louis Ham
ersly of this city, who is spending her first
husbands millions very literally in the
country of her second spouse. 1t is not the
custom in England to sacrifice SO lavishly on
the altar of Santa Claus and the Christ
Kind as it is here and in Germany, and
the Duchesss generous gifts called forth
much surprise and observati ton. At Ham
land, where she was living at that time, she
was known as the fairy godmother, as she
had gigantic Christmas tree for the chill
dren Of the parish, laden with toys, pic
lures and sugar r-plums, as well as more sub
stantial gifts of food and clothing. She
had also Christmas tea parties for old
men and women, at which, after a sub
stantial feast, tea and tobacco
were presented in large packages
to each of the beneficiaries. The Duchess
has recently taken Deepdene, one Of the most
beautiful estates in England, on lease of
twenty-one years, thus indicating that she
will never return as permanent resident to
her native land That the poor of the
neighborhood will have reason to hail her
coming with delight, the generous spirit that
she has shown during her residence in Eng
land puts beyond doubt -HaYpe,'s Bdzar.

MODERN POETRY.

OF all writers or English, Chaucer is most
free from self conscious cry. Not the greater
genius, Shakespeare himself, was free of oc-
casional strain. of rhetorical soaring into
regions dim with haze, To Chaucer was
given the calm clear vision of Hellenic eyes,
There is not a line of his that is not as clear
as the morning crow of chanticleer when all
the air is still and crystalline. So common
now in verse, aud even in prose, are the
gaspings for the vague and the fantastic
Strain, so accustomed are we to
the lack OF the sweet propriety of meas
ured phrase, that Chaucer seems, In
the apprehension of many writers, unliter-
ary. This misconception is as bad for liter
aturc as the Bernim notion Of sculpture was
for art And it is not excused by the idea
that modern life is more complex than life
formerly, and that its expression must neces-
sarily be vague and misty. Life is richer
and more complex, it may be, and the oppor-
than ever but human nature is not changed,
and art is bound by the old laws of sanity
and moderation.-Ha Magazine for

TYNDALTs RELIGIOUS ATTITUDE

He was much more conscious than phvsl-
cists usually are, that every physical inquiry,
pursued to the end, brings us down to meta
physics, and leaves US face to face with an
insolub1e problem. Sundry propositions
which physicists include as lying within our
domain, do not belong to physics at all, but
are concerned with our cognitions of matter
and force; a fact clearly shown by the con-
troversy at present going on about
the fundamentals of dynamics. But
in him the consciousness that
there here exists a door which,
though open, science cannot pass through, if
not always present, was ever ready to
emerge. Not improbab1y his early familiar
ity with theological questions, given him by
the controversy between Catholicism and
Professionalism, which occupied his mind
much during youth, may have had to do
with this. But whatever its cause, the fact,
as proved by various spoken and written
words, was a belief that the known is
surrounded by an unknown, which he
recognized as something more than a
negation. Men of science may be
divided into two classes, of which
the one well exemplifed in Faraday,
keeping their science and their religion abso-
lutely separate, are untroubled by any in
congruities between them; and the other of
which, occupying themselves exclusively
with the facts of science never ask what
implications they have. Be it t1ilobite or be
it double star their thought about it is much
like the thought of Peter Bell about the
primrose. TyndalI did not belong to either
class; and of the last have heard him speak
with implied scorn. Me Clurc's for March.

Center, and Henry Wagner Chairman OF
the Election Board of the same township,
identified the box further, and then prepara-
tions were made to open the box. In order
to save time it was decided to open the box
of the First precinct of Gloucester, while
the officers of Center township labored with
the locks and combination of their box. The
keys of the Gloucester box were not forth
coming, and Mr.. Storrs arrived with a brand
new hammer, proceeded to exercise the au-
tnority delegated to him by the Legislature
of New Jersey to open the box. He rained
blow after blow upon the box. They shlv-
cred the iron, glass and brass while those in
the room held their breath. When the iron
lid had been released from its fastenings,
several sprang forward to secure relics OF
the shattered box.
Judge Rankin, in the most solemn manner,
requested the stenographer to note that the
ballot box under investigation was opened
by the Chairman of the committee by break
ing the box; that's all, sir.n
NO CHANGE IN THE COUNT
The stenographer made the note and the
contents of the box were examined. The
tally sheet gave Lippincott 225 and Thomp-
son 154. On the committees recount Thomp-
son lost two votes. The Center township
men succeeded in getting their box open ana
its contents were next taken up. According
to the tally sheet Thompson received 103
votes and Lippincott 141. The committees
recount was the same Some funny things
were found in this box Three ballots were
cast without any envelopes and three had
the names of the votes written on the flap OF
the envelope When asked why the ballots
were taken without envelopes, Judge Wag-
ner said it was done without thought.

LONDON, March s, 1s94.-The first council
of Lord Rosebery's Cabinet was held today,
The principal business of the council was the
drafting of the Queens speech to be deliv-
cred at the reopening of Parliament. Owing
to the rumors that have been freely circu-
lated OF late that Lord Rosebery may drop
some of the measures to which Mr.. Glad
stone was pledged, the interest in the. COM
ing speech is not confined to the general
public, but is shared by the members of
Parliament and others in political life of all
shades. 1t is said but this is mere gossip,
that the speech will suggest some very I'M
portant, not to say startling, innovations IN
the Liberal programme.
The dissentions in the anti-Parnellite
ranks continue and the followers of Healy
are reported to have reached decision that
Lord Rosebery, failing to give satisfactory
assurances in regard to Home Rule, they
will oppose the Government. There are
said to be twentysix members bound By this
decision
It is reported that Michael Davitt will
again stand for election to the House of

'sOne summer I had the cable window.
One day two women, dressed in black and
greatly agitated, came in and inquired the
rate per word to London. / told them it was
twenty-eight cents They consulted for q
minute and then one of them asked for a
blank l told them where the blanks were,
and one of them wrote message. The other
took it and read it two or three times
'sThen she came over to the window and
asked again how much word it was to Lon
don Twenty-eight cents, told her. She
ooked at the message obviously. The other
woman came up to her and said, Don't you

"'No,' she said, 4 don't like it. That form
is improper You say that Charles slticlded

Charles committed suicide this morning.
ssBut, said the other, if we put it that
way we save twenty-eight cents
sfThe woman who objected turned this
proposition over in her mind for long time
Finally she III don't think that such
syntax is excusable.'
'SThe other took the blank and read the
message few dozen times. We're poor,
she said, decisively, after studying it in all
its phases, and we can't save twerfty eight
cents any easier
ssThis partially convinced the woman who
objected But what will our friends think!
she asked, obviously.
"sI suppose they will notice it, but we
