On tho 18th of April Drake had sailed
from Plymouth; on the 10th he entered
Cadiz harbor; on the LIST of May he passed
out again without the loss of boat or a
man. He said in jest that he had singed
the king Of Spain's beard for him. In
sober prose he had done the king of Spain
an amount of damage which a million
ducats and years labor would imper-
fectly replace. The daring rapidity of the
enterprise astonished Spain and astonished
Europe moro than the storm of the West
Indian towns. The English had long
teeth, as Santa Cruz had told Philips
council, and tho teeth would need draw
ing before mass would be heard again at
Westminster.
The Spaniards were gallant race, and
dashing exploit, though at their own ex-
pense, could be admired by the country
men of CerGantes. $50 praised, we read,
was Drake for his valor among them
that they said If he was not a Lutheran
there would not have been the like of him
in the world" A court lady was invited
by the king to join party on lake near
Madrid. The lady replied that she dared
not trust herself on the water with his
majesty lest Sir Francis Drake should
have her.-Anthony Froude in Long
mans Magazine.

Washington's Birthday.

The first known celebration of Wash
iDgton's birthday was on Feb. II, 1884.
The old style date was still adhered to.
This was during the lifetime of the first
president aud completed his fifty. third
year. The following is from the Pennsyl-
vania Packet of Philadelphia of the date
of Tuesday, Feb II, 1884: NEW YORK
FRIDAY, Feb. 13.-Wednesday last being
the birthday of his exoellency General
Washington the same was celebrated by
all the true friends of American independ-
ence and constitutional liberty with that
hilarity and manly decorum ever attend
ant on the sons of freedom. In the even
ing an entertainment was given on board
the East India ship in this harbor to q
very brilliant and respectable company,
and discharge of 10 cannon was fired on
the joyful occasion" The observance of
I've day was not confined to New York
city Chicago Inter Ocean.

Mr.. Reed and the Presidency.
ALBANY State. }

The remoteness of the State of Maine is
the only objection against our regarding
Thomas Brackett Reed as one of the most
formidable of the presidential candidates.
Yet it availed nothing against James G.
Blaine's selection and New England will
not tolerate the dismissal of Reeds claim
through any geographical accident. Reed
is broad, strong man, a precedept-mak-
ing speaker, and an epoch making Repub-
iican. His force is centrifugal. His
influence is dynamic. His personality is
magnetic and irresistible. In the Parlia-
ment OF Great Britain Reed would have
become, ere now, one of the central
figures of Europe. Perhaps be is one of
the ten great moral, mental and physical
giants, categorically produced within the
quarter of each century. Practically as
speaker-elect of the next House, Reed NAV
b, expected to improve bis exceptional
chances to impress himself upon the heart
and mind, and Imagination of the
country. No man can predicate his
opportunities, but every man can esti-
mate his advantages.

Senator Henderson advice that the
Republicans do not NEEDLE with the tariff
this winter, but raise the additional
revenue needed by internal revenue taxa
ton has much to commend it. If it were
possible to impose additional duties on a
free article of import without mourning
the danger of opening the whole tariff
question, possibly it might be better to
depend upon this method of increasipg
the revenue. But it is very doubtful if
that danger can be averted, and it is also
doubtful il any additional duty the
Republicans would be likely to impose.
would receive the sanction of the Presi-
oent. A general tariff discussion at this
time would be calamity. 1t would al
most inevitably unsette business by
importing into it uncertainty, and moth
ing would be settled when it was over.
for no general revision Of the tariff could
succeed against the opposition of the
President. Furthermore the time is not
ripe for revision, even if it be desirable.
All the defects in the present tariff law
cannot be definitely known until it has
been tested while longer, and tinkering
now would have to be followed by further
tlnkering year hence. The wisest course
would seem to be to let the tariff alone
until the people have placed in the hands
OF the Republican party all the power
needed to reconstruct it.

Mahatma Discredited.

There was time when it seemed that
the word mahatma was destined to be-
come the most exact descriptive adjective
to apply to any occult influence born of
human credulity. But war was declared
between the rival Mahatmas whatever
they may be, of the wraugling theoso-
phists. Previous to this outbreak Prof.
Elliott Coues exposed the tomfoolery and
worse connected with the craze. but theos-
ophy got its second wind to borrow a
phrase from the sprintipg track, and the
harvest of fools, cranks and the crsdulous
went bravely forward. VIM. @ Judge,
who essayed to robe himself in Madame
Blavatskys mantle, endeavored to get
possession of certain documents, aud
failing in this went abroad for his health.
The member of the original company OF
theosophists, who still retained possession
of those desired documents, was Henry J.
Newton OF New York. He now comes
forward and lays bare the events con
nected with the origin of the theosophical
society in New Yors. This so-called
expose exposes very little, apparently for
the good reason that there was connected
with the craze very little of any account.
1t seems to have been about tho most
transparent humbug ever foistei opon
public attention. But Newton does bis

secrecy, signed by the founders of the
original society in New York, is given
out for publication. Indeed Mr. Newton
thinks this New York society the only one
of any account and declares the India
branch to have been myth. In 1876 a
person by the name of George Henry Felt
who claimed to know great deal about
ancient geometry and of mysteries, which
he said were connected with it, got the
ear of one of these cranks who wanted to
join something, which should differ from
anything known to average mOrtals. He
lectured before the society one evening
and would have had a poor collection in
the nat had it not been that at the close
he told them he was acquainted with
methods used in the East for producing
naturalization by the burning of aromatic
gum and herbs This caught the crowd
and the lecturer not only got good pay for
that nights work but was paid in advance
for lectures to be delivered in the future.
Those were never delivered and the soci-
ETY. was left in ignorance OF gum and herb
combustion and found itself no better
acquainted with oriental mysteries than
the ordinary patron of Chinese laundry.
The oath of secrecy still held, however,
and in lieu of aromatic gum and herbs,
bylaws were adopted establishing the
Philosophical society" The purposes
avowed by the society appeared harmless
enough. One was to obtain knowledge of
the nature and attributes of the supreme
power and of the higher spirits by the
aid of physical processes. A statement of
the plans of the society includes this
"To keep alive in man his belief that he
has soul and the universe God. Then
comes IL declaration against bigotry, in
favor of education, knowledge of nature
brotherhood, intellectual, moral and
spiritual self-improvement.
The most harm the society appears to
have done has been to bewilder and be-
luuult lIG luluuS VI sblIlt StdEClltTS alter
isms and enable certain people not alto
gether reputable to acquire an influence
which they never merited. Mr.. Newton
says he became Disguised with it IN a
short time and be shows up what he con-
sidcrs to be some of the trickery of Col
II. S. Olcott and Madame Blavatsky, who
went to India and endeavored to fasten a
mythical identity upon theosophy. Mr.
Newton also tells of transparent trick
which was played upon him in the way
of a mysterious photograph and letter to
enlist his support in behalf of Madame
Blavatsky. From his knowledge of Col
Olcott and the madame this member of
the original society takes very little stock
in the European and Asiatic branches
and has found from bitter experience that
q Mahatma is very difficult thing to
catch or identify.
