THE OLD LIBERTY BELL,
THERE IS CONSIDERABLE ORJEC-
TIoN TO IT'S GOING TO
ATLANTA.

A movement is on foot in
Philadelphia to prevent the
Liberty Bell from being exhib-
tied at the Atlanta Exhibition.
The City Councils have sanction
ed the removal of the priceless
relic to Atlanta, during the cx-
position, but Saturday a COM
mittee from the Sons of the
Revolution. waited upon Mayor
Warwick and entered a protest.
The Mayor replied that the
journey of the bell to the South
would, iii his estimation, be an
invaluable lesson III patriotism,
and would knit the North and
South together i'll closer union.
1t would be an object lesson of
which the whole country would
be benefited. Councils, he said,
were the legal guardians of the
clsys property, and therefore
had the right to allow the bell
to be be taken to Georgia if they
saw fit.
AS they had given their per
mission for its removal, he said,
the only way to prevent it would
be to file a bill i'll equity i'll the
courts, and if possible secure an
injunction against The removal
of the relic.
In reply to the Mayors
thought that the bell would be
an object lesson to the South,
the committee said that it had
already been sent to New Orleans
and they thought that was suf-
fcient.
Then Mr.. Warwick told them
that when the bell came back
from Atlanta he would be glad
to join i'll any proper measures
to prevent its removal from this
city at any subsequent time.
OPPOSITION DEAPpEARED:
PHILADELPHIA. Iulv 0.-Thc
opposition to the removal of the
Liberty Bell to the Atlanta Ex.-
position seems now to have ell
tirely disappeared, and the bell
will probably be started on its
Southern journey on September
18th. The City Councils COM
nittee having the matter i'll
charge, the members of which
will accompany the bell to At
lanta, held meeting to. day and
appointed subcommittee and
arranged other details looking to
the removal of the relic to the
South. The Pennsylvania rail
road will build a special car for
its transportation, similar to that
which carried the bell to ChiCa-
go two years ago.

THE RETURN OF ROCHEFORT.

1t ia not that Ruchefort 10 Of such
personal consequence that comment on
his return is OF value. but it is an Incl
dent that gives some idea OF the present
temper Of the French people. Rochefort
was expelled from the country because
he was an abettor OF the scheme of Bou-
LANCER to become president Of France,
and what else beyond was at the time
Q matter OF suspicion and conjecture.
Boulanger was ambitious and disturb.
or, and who sought to ride into pow.
or by infsming the hatred of the
French toward Germany. He was
charged with being an instrument of
the Royalists. through whom the Bour-
bon pretsnder was to be restored to the
throne OF his ancestors.
Rochefort is a man OF extreme views
and OF an excitable nature, and through
his paper attempted to arouse the
infammable elements Of Paris. A free
press Ia quite different thing in France
from free press in England or Ia the
United States. III not so much the
custom there to discuss questions
calmly rs in English speaking countries.
About the first thing Partisan editor
OF extreme views does, ia to advoca to
overturning by violence, and numer-
GUS element stands ready to accept such
advice. Therefore. the press In France,
and more especially in Paris. has to DO
restrained to greater extent than in
more temperate countries.
The French government acted wisely
in granting amnesty to Rochefort and
other Boulangist exilss, for SO long as
they were in Punishment they could
claim they were prosecuted and would
receive sympathy, but TO let him return
home and bs az free az other citizens Ia
simply to dissrm him Of the power be
and his sympsthizsrs otherwise would
have had. His return called out large
conoourse of people. some OF whom, nc
doubt, joined in the attendance from
curiosity. There was no display or in
dicaton OF violence ON the part of the
people, aud Roohefort has conducted
himself with discretion. Having once
felt the power OF the government, be
probably does not wish to provoke II
again, and he has undoubtedly become
wiser and more conservative through
mis- own reflections while in exile.
The act OF amnesty shows the con
tidence Of the French government In
the growing conservatism and stability
OF the French character. q fact which
beyond doubt, Rcchefort has also dis
covered. The event, though compare
lively Insignificant, is worth something
as proof that the French governmen,

Nocturnal Animals.

The true nocturnal animals are those which
can only find their food at night. With the
exception OF the owls and opossums, which are
partly insectvorous, they are nearly all insect
eaters-bat. lemurs, lorises and nightjars; and
though the last, like the owls, do move with
rspidity and some precision when once dis
turbed. the others might be distinguished from
those creatures which are only nocturnal by
necessity by the abseace of that wakefulness
in sleep which the latter possess In such
marked degree. The bats, lemurs and lorises,
are during the day stepped and drugged with
slumber.
Ii once discovered they make no effort to es-
cape; like the opossums, which let the "black
fellows chop them out of their holes in the
hollow trees without moving from their sleep
ing-places, 1t does not seem possible for tn EN-
to awaken. Light benumbs tn cir faculties like
freezing cold, and they seek darkness with
the same instinct that human being, with
senses benumbed by sickness, demands more
light, Bats, the only purely nocturnal ami
mails in this country, show this characteristic
in its compile test form. Their daylight sleep
paralyzes them, though not because they are
unable to see and fly with safety in the sun
light, for they can do both. But if handled
and disturbed, they make no effort even to
spread their wings and seem unable to shake
off the drowsy influence.
Not even the great nght-fying moths are so
completely the slaves of this unyielding habit
OF diurnal sleep. Contrasted with this deep
repose the slumber of the great body of herb
ivorous animals is so light and broken that it
may be doubted whether their senses are ever
so com pletely at rest as to deserve the name of
sleepat all. In human sleep the sense OF hear
ing is that which remains awake longest, and
to which the brain most readily responds.
But in sound and heavy sleep. hearing often
suggests long train of thought in dreams be-
fore the brain awakens to sense of reality.
In most sleeping animals, its warning is in
Simultaneous, and the faculties obey the call for
action with no apparent interval of inertia
