are to prevail in religion, 1 have lost
my Jesus" So you have indeed, in
the old sense, and that is very fortu
nate; for in that loss you have gained
a greater Jesus, mightier and di-
viner Jesus. You have gained an all
conquering Christ, an all-conquering
God, an all-conquering humanity, an
all con Iuering truth and virtue, and
an all conquering love and right
eousness.
You have gained the absolute free
dom and supremacy of reason and
comm on sense in religion. Your faith
in the eternal verities of religion has
not been diminished, but is virtually
enlarged-deeper and wider and
higher and mightier than ever before.
This is new religion, new Christi
anity, new orthodoxy, new and
larger. Universalism, only in its ex
preston and development. In it's
essence and in it's foundations it is as
old as man, as old as God. 1t is a
religion that has an unincumbered
and unclouded title in fee simple to
the universe; and what has heretofore
SO long been the current orthodoxy,
by the annual march of human
thought will be compelled to surren
der it's claims, however reluctantly.
Some will do it cheerfully and grace
fully, others will do it with childish
kicks and snarls; but all are certain
to do it sooner or later.
So it has always been-the heresy
of one age is the orthodoxy of sue
ceeding age.
tits very hard for some men-even
for some professed liberals-to keep
their minds broad, free, alive, grow
ing; open to all new light that may
come from any quarter. But that is
what we should do in religion, as in
every other realm of thought or truth.
We have only given few of the
many remarkable utterances of DIR.
Abbott's remarkably interesting and
able address.
These are the beautiful and noble
words which seemed to constitute his
closing declaration: "Why, then, fell
low Christians, should we be afraid
of evolution? Why? 1t brings God
nearer to US in creation, and enables
us to see him in every throb of ami
mated nature. 1t dignifies man, and
shows him not failure, but the con-
summate flower of God s long process
of evolution.
at makes more awful the sense of
sin, because it brings it home to every
human conscience. 1t makes the di-
vine book more divine. 1t brings
Christ nearer to humanity because it
shows him the first born among many
brethren, and it tells the promise of
redemption which, in all the struggle
of life, cheers us onwith this absolute
certainty that whatever this year or
next year may show, when the battle
is ended, the strife is over, we shall
be conquerors, and more than con-
querors, through him that loved us
and gave himself for us"
This address is remarkable, then,
not because it in any way damages
the Bible, or religion, or Christianity,
but because, on the basis of evolu
ton, it strengthens the Bible,
strengthens and deepens religion,
strengthens and deepens Christian
ity; and in SO doing, remorselessly
pulls up orthodoxy by the roots, and
consumes it to ashes in the glowing
crucible of modern scientific thought.

gious thought being fulflled-if not
inside our church then outside. This
may all be as God wills, and we re-
joice. Truth is greater than any
name or any sect.
But this is indeed a great day in
which the Universalist Church is
called to live and act. There is yet
a vast unconquered ZELDA vast work
for us to do We shall do that work
if we are united, vigilant, active,
brave; turning our faces toward the
future, and marching forward to new
triumphs and larger victories. If we
prove ourselves incapable of doing
this work, it will be done by others.
God is in the field.
Well and courageously did DIR. Alb
bolt say: "Never make believe; and
never try to believe that which OPP.
poses your true conception of relig-
ion. You are to believe the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Follow truth wherever she
may lead, even if to barren deserts
and empty GASES, rather than to fol-
low falsehood to the gilded palaces
of success" That would make new
day for religion, a new day for hui
manity; it would move the churches
out of the bondage and eclipse of the
dark ages into the new light of this
new day.

EXPENSIVE STAMPS.

est Price Of $I2, 500.
The phia5elic world has been fut-
sssrsd by a recent important event,
for it is announced that the vice
president of the London Philatelio
society has sold all his stamps. The
affair certainly becomes interesting
when we learn the price commanded
by the few thousand little bits OF
paper.
A firm which deals in these light
and airy trifes secured the vice
presidents entire collection, and
gave no less than fifty thousand dol
lars for It.
This, we understand, is the largest
price ever paid for q collection OF
stamps, though it is said that the
treasures in this sort recently be-
queathed by member of parliament
to the British museum would have
fetched a higher figure If put up to
public auction.
A London establishment is just
now advertising single stamp, val
ued OF s12,500, but whether any in
tending purchaser will be found
willing to receive it in exchange for
that sum remains to be seen. The
duke Of York, already known as a
keen connoisseur, Is said to be anx-
ious to purchase this great stamp.
Experts declare that there is no
better investment for money nova
days than stamps. If that be SO
they will become an object of fasci-
nation to many who at present take
little delight in them.-Black and

But the Men Did Not Know the Name
of Their Commander.
The men of the light division in
the Crimea always spoke of Sir
George Brown as "the general" as
was then, and is still, though in a
lesser degree, the habit Of soldiers,
possibly from not knowing the name
of the immediate leader. This igno-
rance cost Sir George one pound
sterling during the worst of the win
ter. He had seized the opportunity
of meeting Lord Ha9ian to urge the
desirability of showing himself more
frequently in the camps.
"What good will it do?"
"Ohl twill cheer the men up.
Why, sir, numbers Of my men don't
know your name"
''But they don't know your name,
Georger'
Every man in the light division
KNOWS my name.
'I'll bet you one pound sterling
the first man we ask does not"
Done" said Sir George, and they
rode to the right division camp.
"Come here, my man. Who am II"
"You're the general, sir"
'But my name7"
You're the general, SIR" and
nothing more could be elected from
him. Sir George Brown paid up on
the spot.
No one who saw him ride straight
toward the foe, without an indica-
tion that he was in any danger, Is
likely to forget the animating effect
of his bearing on the soldiers

assas, and that is the name which sur
wives. On one side OF the railroad
track is the shaft of red sandstone
in a little walled square, erected to
the memory Of the confederate dead,
whose bones lie in unmarked graves.
Until recently this monument has
been the only visible reminder Of the
place where the war formerly opened.
But now, down the track from the
somber red sandstone shaft, and
facing it, is another monument. The
shaft stands for the blood shed. Its
companion carries the suggestion Of
the lost cause for which the lives
were sacrificed. On this most con-
spicuous site has been erected q large
schoolhouse; so recently that the
paint has scarcely dried. In front
Of the building, between 1t and the
confederate monument, has been
planted q tall staff, from the top Of
which floats the stars and stripes.
And on q knoll near by is reared q
great signboard with letters so large
that all who ride at thirty miles an
hour may read:

DR.. Campbell Ford, to assist in the
operation, which was performed as

operation, which was performed as
follows:
After careful preparation the patti
ent was placed under the influence of
chloroform and an incision was made
at point commencing two inches
above the hip bones, the knife being
carried downward to the end Of the
back bone. The skin and muscles
were held out of the way by forceps.
The arches of the three lower lumbar
vertebrn were then removed, which
brought the end of the spinal cord
itself into the wound. The back plate
of the sacrum was then removed for
the space of about two inches. The
remains of the sacrum and coocyx
were then entirely cut out.
The delicacy Of the operation ncccs-
sary in the removal of such quantity
of vital bone tissue may be better un-
derstood when it is explained that its
removal caused the whole lower in
testincs to bulge out through the
wound.
Not the least difficult part Of the
surgery was the dressing Of the wound.
The peritoneum was first sewed up and
the wound packed with antiseptic
gauze. Then the muscles and skin
were stitched, after which proper
dressing was applied and the patient
placed in bed.
The operation, all told, occupied
about two hours. The patient rccov-
cred from the shock nicely. Five
days later the dressing was removed
for the first time. 1t was found that
the wound had healed by first inten-
tion.
A remarkable feature Of the case is
the rapid convalescence Of the patient.
Three weeks after the operation Allen
was able to proceed to his home in
Sacramento, accompanied only by his
wife and assisted by pair Of crutches.
Since his departure few days ago he
has written that he is gaining in flesh, i,
and that, with light exercise, his
limbs are becoming more supple daily.
He says that he is entirely free from
pain and hopes in time to so far re-
cover as to attend to his business, that
of train dispatcher, with the aid Of
cane or other light support. DR..
McGill expresses himself as hopeful
Of the ultimate success Of the opera
tion, but believes it will be necessary
for Allen to use a leather corset, plas-
ter cast or other contrivance in order
that too great a strain may not be
placed upon the weakened portion OF
his anatomy.-San Francisco Chron-
ic7e.

National Game In Florida.

They were doing their best, GER
tainly they made noise enough, but
circumstances were against them.
When the ball came to the ground,
from no matter what height or with
what impetus, 1t fell dead on the
sand; If it had been made Of solid
rubber it could not have rebounded.
"Base running" was little better
than base walking. Sliding was
safe, but by the same token impossi-
bic. Worse yet, at every foul
stroke" or wild throw" the ball
was lost, and the bare-footed field
ers had to pick their way painfully
about in the outlying saw-palmetto
scrdb till they found it. None but
true patriots would have the heart
to try it. The first baseman, cer-

MACHINE-MADE SPEECHES.
Turned Out with Marvellous Rapid
ity by a Recent Invention. ;
You Press the Button and It Furnishes to
Order Anything from a Ruskin Essay
to q Dialect Story-An Inn
acinary Wonder.

There is no doubt that both the
typewriting machine and the phono.
graph are very ingenious and useful
inventions, but the chief difficulty
with them is that they cannot be
made to act automatically. 1t is in
order to fill this want that distin-
guished inventor, whose name is for
the Rpresent withheld, has invented
an automatic writer, and, judging
from the private exhibition Of the
machine which was recently given
in London to committee of mem
bers of the Royal society, it bids
fair to prove the greatest invention
of this or any age.
In appearance the machine is said
to be not wholly unlike typewriter
machine. 1t, however, is provided
with a sort of hopper, in which are
placed blocks of typemetal, each one
of which is provided with complete
word, instead Of single letter.
When this hopper is filled and the
small electric engine which furnishes
the motive power Of the machine is
set in action it instantly begins
to print. OF course what is printed
depends in good degree upon the
selection of words which are placed
in the hopper, but it is understood
that the machine can be used for
almost any sort of composition.
At the exhibition already men
toned the hopper was filled with q
supply of words relating to
the English political situation,
and In ten minutes after the
engine had been started the ma
chine had printed two full col
umns, each Of about the length of
an ordinary column of a newspaper.
When these were read they were in
stantly recognized to be o speech on
home rule in the general style OF
MIR. Gladstone. The hopper was
next filled with a choice selection OF
the very finest words in the language,
and the machine thereupon printed
what was at once perceived to be an
essay in the manner of Mr.. Ruskin
on ;political economy. More words
were added and three pages of what
any critic would unhesitatlngly have
accepted as passages from a new
novel by Mr.. Meredith delighted the
committee. The last experiment
was made with the hopper filled with
words taken from the slang diction-
ary and the result was a story in
dialect which was held to be superior
to almost any dialect story hitherto
published.-N. Y. Times.

lady was recently heard to say. The
peculiar aptness Of this quaint ex-

actly the unstable exasperating per-
son who pricks eagerly into some
profession or line of work, only to
trail Imply out again, without tax
ing hold or leaving any trace behind,
and who makes any number of fresh
starts with o like result. The simile
is one that could only have occurred
to a woman. How to put knot in
these fabby characters, to give them
a little stay and fasten them to some
suitable occupation, Is one of the
hardest problems human beings can
have to solve.-Lady's Pictorial.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the Eng
lish Coast by the Rod.
The fat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half a mile since the days of
Edward H., when the sea almost
washed the walls of the castle that
now stands high and dry inland.
The same thing has happened on the
Romney fats, where the ancient
castle of Lympne has receded mile
or more. Such spots as these look
as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to
the lost ground Of sea bottom. But
on the rocky parts Of the Antrim
coast we have the sea slowly work.
ing its way inland, despite the'rock
Notifications and stony iutrench-
ments that look so resistless. Un-
der the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon a time must have
stood well in shore, and Dunlace
bears witness to the ravages that
have taken place within q few CEN
turies, q few ticks of the clock, as
geologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tear
ing at the foundations, one day
broke down a considerable part of
the castle, and several persons were
killed by the catastrophe. This was
in the days when Dunlace was held
by other tenants than the birds.
Then a home and a stronghold, now
but o rnemento of past joy and
glory.
Another marked example of the
insecurity Of rock defenses where
the sea is the invader occurs at
Filey, on the Yorkshire coast. Only
twenty years ago there was o path
way running around the ancient
church of St. Hi!da, which is built
on the solid rock. Now this is so
broken away on the seaward side
that 1t is impossible. Another
twenty years may see the church

saltpeter and pound Of brown sugar
to every 10 gallons of the brine. Put
in kettle and boil, skimming Of the
scum that rises. Let it cool little,
and then pour it over the beef.
In four or five days this should be
poured off, re-boilcd and skinned, and
then put back. Some of the best
rump pieces can be left out when the
brine is taken of, and be hung up and
smoked or dried.
Pork, the mid 'ings, and, in fact, all
the meat can b. served in the same
way as the beef, and after picking
until thoroughly saltcd can be sakcn
out and smoked, and the sides used
as picked pork. This plan is called
brine-curing, and is followed by many,
especially when the conditions of
keeping are unfavorable, that is, if
the weather is damp or rather warm.
Another plan is to cut the meat while
il is warm, as soon, in fact, as the
work can be done after butchering;
rub each part thoroughly with salt,
into which little ground pepper has
been mixed. 1t is important to rub
we'll with salt and pepper, so as to
have it strike in as soon as possible.
Pack in boxes or barrels; let it lie for
four or FIVE days; then take up and
rub again, this time adding little
brown sugar. This should be repeated
four or five times. The more general
plan is to cut the meat and let it lie
until the animal heat is all out; then
rub we'll with salt, with little pepper
added; little brown sugar will make
a rather sweet meat. Pack it closely
together. In five or six days take ul
the meat again and rub it over care
fully with salt and pepper, and put i
down again. Let it be until ready tt
smoke. If care is taken TO cool ou
thoroughly and rub the salt in well
there is little difficulty in keeping
meat killed at any time from this on

SUBMARINE SCENERY.
A French Photographer Takes Pic.
! !. tures Under Water.

Photographing in colors and under
water have been two problems in
photography that have never been
solved = or rather accomplished.
However, an interesting report
comes from France that a French
man has been able to photograph OBJ
jects, fish and shells, at the bottom
OF the Red sea.
First, he secured a divers costume
to observe at the bottom of the sea
the metamorphoses of certain mol
lusca impossible to cultivate in
aquaria. He was struck with the
wonderful beauty Of submarine land
scapes, and resolved to photograph
what he could, since a simple de-
scription would SAVIOR too much Of
an over-vivid imagination. At first
he worked in shallow water with
water-tight apparatus, and the clear
ness Of the water allowed him suffi-
cient light to sensitize the plates.
But proportionately as the depth
increased, clearness diminished, and
the motion of the waves clouded his
proofs. Then the young scientist
conceived the idea of utilizing mag
netism in an apparatus of his own
invention. This apparatus consists
essentially of barrel filled with
oxygen and surmounted by glass
bell containing an alcohol lamp. On
the flame Of the lamp, by means OF a
mechanical contrivance, powdered
magnetism is thrown, faring as often
as a view is taken. The barrel is
pierced with holes on the lower side
in such manner that as the oxygen
diminishes the sea water enters, so
preserving the equilibrium between
external and internal pressure.
Beautiful submarine photographs
taken on the very bed of the Medi-
terranean at Banyuls-sur-Mer, near
the Spanish border, have been pro-
duced in this way.
