How Icebergs Break From Glaciers.

The number of bergs given off var fes somewhat with the weather and the tides, the average being about one ev- cry five or six minutes, counting only those large enough to thunder loudly, and make themselves heard at a dis tance of two or three miles. The very largest. however, may, under favorable conditions, be heard ten miles, or even farther. When a large mass sinks from the upper Assured portion of the wall, there is first a keen, piercing. crash, then deep, deliberate, prolonged, laundering roar. which slowly subsidies into low, muttering growl, followed by numerous smaller, grating, clash ing sounds from the agitated bergs that dance in the waves about the new conner as if in welcome; and these again are followed by the swash and roar of the waves that are raised and hurled against the moraines. But the largest and most beautiful of the bergs, in- stead of thus falling from the upper weathered portion of the wall, rise from the submerged portion with still grander commotion, springing with tremendous voice and gestures nearly to the top of the wall, tons of water streaming like hair down their sides, plunging and rising again and again before they finally settle In perfect boise, free at last, after having formed part of slow-crawling glacier for cen turies. John Muir, in Century.

 ''Can you wait moments" she asked. II am anxious to send this bundle doH to Dr. Halls church.
 Oh" replied Cornelius Vanderbilt, .I am going right by the church on my way down. Give me your bundle and I will let the sexton have it.
 Mrs. Sloane was very grateful for this kind offer, and it is in every way char acteristic of the man of millions, who is never so happy as when an opportunity to be useful presents itself. So down Fifth avenue walked brother Cornelius, bundle in arm, and when he reached the church he found the sexton there The latter received the object thank fully, with many words of apprecia- tion of the kindness of the great lady who had remembered the needs of the church.
 Not many days after this Mrs. Sloane, herself, on coming out of church, amid a fashionable concourse, happened to espy the sexton

SEEKING JUSTICE. III c H. A ? A9 well known, the legality of the organ ization of not a few of the corpora tions whose stock is dealt in largely on the street is open to serious question. Mir. Harmon has announced his inten- ton of ha ying the department investl- gate all these concerns with sever ity. A veritable panic was oeeasioncd by letter he wrote shortly after as- suming office, and which letter has not vet found its way into print. Briefly, it deals somewhat severely with the Standard Oil trust, and by implication shows that numerous similar enter prises cannot rely upon the neutrality of the attorney general in any venture they max undertake during his coptin- uance in office. This drastic action on the part of Mir Harmon is attributed in one quarter to jealous hostility to William c. Whitney, and in another to an anxiety to embarrass the leaders of politics in New York by showing that they are connected with unpopular un- dertal1ings.
 Mir. Harmon, it further appears, has views of his own with reference to the federal judiciary, and those views are that that body IS guilty of entirely too many decisions which, upon review in the higher courts, are totally reversed. He has pointed out that the percentage of reversals of the federal judiciary is compromisingly high, and that the pre- sumption is that the bench must con- tain an undue number of incompetents. Again, he has said that this bench is losing favor, somewhat as the national senate has lost it, by tendency to hold aloof from the people. The fact that the poor man has so little chance to be- come a pleader with any success before federal judge has been made the sub- ject of a homily from him which has attracted considerable attention.

The South has no warner friend
than The Illustrated american. Hence
it is hardly necessary to say that the
recent South Carolina attempt TO iimit
negro suffrage Gees not meet with favor
10 orr eyes, about We acknowledge the
gravity Of the problem and the difficulty
in dealing with the specially copgested
situation iD that State. But at the
same time we fail to see any appropri-
ateness in England's excitement over
South Carolina and the Colored
Brother. The London Daily Neus,
one of the livest publications in that
peculiarly pbilauthropic iset, has lately
been indulging in shrieks over the moe
strous injustice which our Government
is permitting to happen in South Caro-
liua, and right after this explosion of
righteous indignation, the Neus ex-
presses gentle condemnation of the
barbarities Of the Zanzibar and Pemba
slave system. The plain truth is that
slavery IN these places is not merely
connived at, but is openly recognized
by the British Government. which,
with hideously sordid respect for
what is legally termed "ves.ed inter-
ests," has merely made the mild stipu-
lation that this slavery shall net spread
nor be spread. Yet, faster than the
old slaves die, new ones are smuggled
in by the Arab traders, who know how
to line British palm with gold AS
for Pemba, from which island most OF
the slaves come, there is nearly 100,-
900 slaves there, and to keep up the
supply in this island and Zanzibar
nearly million lives are sacri5ed
annually. Let the Shopkeeper of the
World put ap end to this infamy as
