which the genius of the century has given
BIRTH and they are crying aloud with the
hundred thousand lusty threats of new
born giants.
Esotericism seems as innate as savagery.
Alongside of the vast wave of purely intel
lectual reform, with its straightforward
teaching OF the value OF life and the art of
living, is reared the crest of those great re-
ilglous organizations which teach the value
OF correct living as a wise provision for
happiness in the life to come. Shoulder
ing scientific schemes for government that
would restrict the accumulation and power
OF wealth, are other schemes for socialism,
and still others for the abolition Of govern
ment by anarchy and the erection of pure
communism in its stead Through all this
dellrious whirl of activities shines the
clear, steady light of human sympathy. 1t
Is the inspiration of them all; and how
ever painful must the process be out OF
which shall come an ordered and universal
plan, We may be sure that radical turn
IN the evolution of the species must ensue,
and that it will direct the steps of history
into unwonted ways.
international policies are feeling the
impulse. The value of commercial and
industrial reciprocity is forcing itself upon
the attention of governments. Interna-
tional congresses, assembled both as arbi-
traitors of disputes and as adjusters of
friendly relations, have been found wiser
than arrangements and wars. The sue
cess of international postal facilities has
been proved by experience, and the value
OF common system of weights and meas
ures has been demonstrated. Attempts
have been made TO devise a universal Ian
guage, but that, as might have been known,
must be the final and browning achieve
ment-must be the last of many slow and
difficult things that must first be done. 1t
is already a fact that the money of friendly
contiguous countries is current in COM
mon, and this has educated us up to the
belief that universal money, pledged by
the faith of all the nations, will be a step
soon taken in this broad, swinging march
of the world.

THE AGE OF SYMPATHY.

The development of the human race is
disclosing the most picturesque feature in
all history. 1t is not unlikely that the his
torian of the distant future will speak of
the closing of the nineteenth century as
the dawn of the Age OF Sympathy. 1t is a.
curious anomaly that although the aetivi-
ties of the spirit of humanitarianism are
assuming uncountable forms and stalking
in ways bewildering and various, the saw
age instinct of the genus finds expression
in the strengthening of armies and navies
and the creation of formidable engines for
the destruction of life. Time alone can
determine whether the evolution of the
dominant races has advanced sufficiently
to permit the aggressive spirit of sympathy
to triumph over the savage instincts that
the very necessities of our evolution have
fastened upon us.
More interesting than these speculations
are the concrete evidences that make
them possible, and more interesting than
the causes which have made the great edu-
Gated classes open their eyes to the agonies
of poverty and pauperism, is the fact that
the awakening has occurred. That the
poor and ignorant have hopes, desires and
aspirations; that the highest members of
society must share the moral responsibility
of the lowest criminals act; that the
elimination of ignorance is as essential as
the punishment of crime; that the whole
human family is akin and to some extent
must share the burdens and blessings of
life; that seltishness, being fundamental
and necessary, its most intelligent exercise
must be made; that some natures being
stronger and others weaker, the one must
guard the other against temptation-thes
are the wonderful children of light to

OUR EXCHANGES.

We note with more than ordinary gratifi-
cation that the Amador Record has done
us the honor to republish in full an edi-
to1ial from the CALL urging q revival of
hydraulic mining along with the other in
dustries of the State in the new era that
has already dawned. 1t is indeed a source
OF satisfaction that so many of the more
influential papers of the interior are work.
ing in full sympathy with us on this line.
When hydraulic mining is released from
the restrictions of unjust law and per-
mltted once more to use the mountain
streams IN the work of separating the
precious ore from the earth, it will send a
stream of gold across the State to revive all
Its industries and advance the welfare of
the Union and the world. No county will
prosper more under the new order of
things which is surely coming, than the
picturesque county of Amador; and when
the fullness of that prosperity is at hand,
the Record will have the lively satisfaction
OF knowing that it did much to bring it
about by working for it when the task was
difficult and the helpers were few.
The Marysville appeal takes exception
to recent statement of the CALL that it Is
IAN easy feat of engineering to impound
the debris OF hydraulic mining or sweep it
away" and says: 1T has never been done
successfully for any length of time. The
power that cut out the canyons will cut
out the distractions invented by engineers

Birds and Fishes.

are by the Speeu
Birds and Fishes.
When man completes with nature in en-
cheering problems he is left far in the
rear This is particularly the case in the
appliance of power for speed. The wild
duck is about the last bird we should ex-
pect speed from; it has enormous surface,
is very heavy forward and has compare
lively long neck and heavy head, and,
withal, it has very small wings, but wild
duck is one of the swiftest birds in fight,
surpassed only by the wild goose, which is
even more handicapped. The whale is a
lubberly craft, so to call it-modeled on the
lines of q Dutch gallipot. Its propellers
are exactly the reverse of what we should
suppose the correct position, lying hori-
zontally upon the water when at rest in
stead of being vertical in it, as vessels
propellers are. Moreover, the flukes of the
whales screw are very small indeed and
are also che reverse of what man makes.
They have the least surface at the tip and
are largest at the hub or junction with the
body, but with this apparatus.a whale goes
through the water like fast steamboat
and can tow heavy whaleboat full of men
at most surprising velocity for long
time.-The Engineer.

Moqui Indians to Go on Tour of In,

Moqui Indians to Go on a Tour of In
spection.
Colonel Shafter, commandment at Alca-
traz Island, is getting dangerously near to
an attack of brain fog in his efforts to find
amusements for the twelve Moqui Indians
who have been quartered on him for sew
eral months past.
Indians, like wild animals, grow peaked,
if not pale, while in confinement, and the
authorities at the island have strict orders
not to let the dusky captives languish for
want OF something to occupy their minds
At first the large guns, shining accouter-
ments of the men, and their new environ
ments generally kept the reds from
moplng, and they thriyed and grew fat on
Uncle Sans ample rations.
Even these grew monotonous, however,
and ennui stared them in the face until
suddenly one day the Government steamer
General Mcdowell hove in sight freighted
down with Gaiety girls and their escorts
and the Indians Immediately took heart
again. The wondrous costumes and COM
plexions of the sprightly actresses were
spoken of in deep gutturals for many days,
but signs of WEAKNESS made their appear
ance as before and the commandant was at
his wits end.
Suddenly brilliant idea struck him.
The Indians were confined for melting a
riot in the tribe against the introduction
of schools for the redskin children. Why
not show them the errors of their WAYS
and the advantages of education, as well
as supply a new diversion for their savage
minds by taking them through the public
schools? Colonel Shafter did not let the
idea grow cold, but Immediately wrote to
Superintendent of Schools Moulder, re-
questing permission to send the Indians in
charge of an officer through a number of
the institutions of learning under his
charge.
The Superintendent will reply, giving
the desired permission, both as a matter
of courtesy to the Federal officer and as an
object lesson to the children.
