Blackie,s student DAYS.

He wandered in the Harz and the
Black forest, clad in wagoner's smock,
mixing with the people-especially the
miners-geologizing as he went, and
making intellectual pilgrimages to Wei
mar and Wurtzburg. At Gottingen Ott-
fried Muller and Heeren. the historian,
seem to have Influenced him most. At
Berlin, whittier he next went, he stud
led under Sehleiermacher and Neander,
to The latter of whom he was much at
tracted, and whose teaching appears to
have had much to do with broadening
views that were of themselves already
stretching far beyond their originally
restricted confines.
Neander once startled his disciple by
remarking, "You have some Jewish no.
tions in Scotland with regard to the OBJ
servance of the Lords day Blackie,
Tho still considered that Scottish the
ology and Christianity were convertible
TERMS" was staggered by the assertion
"that one of the most significant OBJ
servances of Scottish Righteousness was
not Christian, but Jewish. But the
fourth commandment was too deeply
imbedded in Blackie for him to be
swayed by such reasoning. He contin-
ued to spend his Sundays after the
Scotch fashion, and, says he, II never
had cause to regret my conscientiousness
Whatsoever is not Of faith is sin. F"

The Subtle Chinese Intellect.

1t has always struck me that Protestant
missionaries never give sufficient weight
to the extreme astuteness and subtIety of
Chinese intellect which has been trained
in dialectics, nor do they seem sufficiently
to appreciate the improbabilities of the
Christian scheme Of salvation as regarded
from tho same point of view. Early asso-
Citations, careful training in its doctrines
and social influences do not prevent many
professed Christians from freeing them
selves from the. trammels of this creed.
How, thon, is it likely to affect minds
brought up amid different and antag-
onistic environment Tho very language
in which it's most solemn mysteries are
sought to be conveyed to these subtle
brains is often said to be barbarously in
adequate to the purpose.
A Greek myth told in "English as she
is wrote would be accepted with some
difficulty as an article of faith by one of
our own students. Is it possible to expect
better result with translations of doc
trines of which some of the most impor-
tant factors find no equivalent In the
tongue in which 1t is attempted to render
them? How can the essence Of such a
doctrine rs the incarnation of Christ be
conveyed through such imperfect chan
nels to men habituated to the highest
forms Of literary expression? What mean
ing are they likely to attach to it? Ori-
entail minds are won't to ratiocinate on all
such subjects with brutal frankness.
Their method Of handling this one Is bet
ter left to the Imagination. But in the
revolving and shocking doctrines attribute
ed from time to time in Chinese pamphlets
to Christians one cannot fail to see that a
good deal is due to probably quite genuine
misunderstanding Of some of their most
sacred dogmas.-,N Nineteenth Century.

Colonel Scott and General Pope.

Megargoe, in the Philadelphia Timer,
says that Colonel Thomas A. Scott was
singularly unnssuming in his dress and
demeanor. When he was assistant score
tary of war, he had occasion to visit Gen
eral Popo az his headquarters at New
Madrid, Mo. General Pope was greatly
addicted to profanity and violence of man
ner. Colonel Scott entered tho hcadquar-
ters with the remark, Il should like to set
General Pope on business.
''Seo my adiutantl" roared Pope.
"My business is with General Pope in
person.
"Blank, blank your businoss See my
Edjutant, tcll you"
"My name is Scott

Scott OF Jones or Smith or Brown. SEQ

"As | was about to say, my name is
Scott, and wish to sec you on govern
mont business. J. have the honor 10 be as

intention to 10 rude, but there arc so
many loafers in camp, and they annoy me
SO much, that I am sometimes put out of
temper. BE good enough to take seat
and have tho kindness to inform me OF

Colonel Scott entered at once upon the
business in hand, making no reference
whatever to Pope's outrageous behavior
and acting just as though the occurrence
had not takGn place.

warren Hastings Law Expenses.

Hastings was in his sixty-third year
when he was acquitted, after a trial
which lasted seven years. His costs
amounted to el00, 900, which seems
pretty heavy lawyers bill-it is at the
rate Of over e14, 900 year-though, no
doubt, heavy expenses were contracted
before the trial began in the preparation
of evidence. The printed brief delivered
to counsel for the defense extended to
"a folio volumes, and Laws retainer
was 500 guineas. Hastings memorialized
The house of commons to grant him COM
pensation, but Pitt, to whom the petit
tion was sent, refused, in curt note, to
submit it to the sovereign, though he
did not hesitate, as chancellor of the ex-
chequer, to debit the country with the
enormous costs of the prosecution. But
tho court Of directors of the East India
company behaved very well. They re-
solved to grant Hastings sum Of Ell, :
$50 as an indemnifcation for his costs
and an annuity of So, 600 for life.
It will hardly be believed that the
board Of control, of which Dundas was
the head, refused to sanction these pro-
posals, as excessive, and ultimately Hast
ings received from the directors $50, 900
down and e4, ZOO year for life. We pre-
sumo that he settled his bill of costs for
los. in the pound, and his three counsel,
Law, Plumer and Dallas, might we'll
have foregone some of their fees, for the
trial brought them so much reputation
that they all attained to the highest
posts on the bench. Saturday Review.

Huxley as q Lecturer.

In 1ecturing to his classes Huxley ad-
hered strictly to business, and it was
rarely that matter of levity was intro
duced to give merriment to his listeners
I recall, in a course of some 70 lectures,
only a single instance of this kind,
when, for some reason (no longer in my
memory, q reference was made to
Chamisso's "Peter Schlemihl"-a book
which Professor Huxley frankly admit
ted gave him more genuine pleasure
than any other in nonscientific litera-
ture. Whether it was the refreshing
frankness Of this admission or the fact
in itself that was quoted which on this
occasion brought forth an unbounded
merriment from his students was per-
haps not fully decided for all of us,
but there was no questioning the spon-
taneousness of the applause which fol-
lowed the utterance. And this, as 1 now
recall it, was the only instance of ap-
plause greeting the lecturer in the mid
die of tho lecture during the entire
course of my studentship. Popular Sci

The Consumptive Man Failed 20 Appreci-
ate the Old Melody.
On North Clark street there is an un-
dertaker whose face and bearing are Pc
cularly adapted to his business-tall,
thin, with a countenance habitually
thoughtful, almost melancholy, and in
addition his shoulders stoop, which aids
in giving him the air of man who is
burdened with his own or other peoples
sorrows. But behind the mournful ex-
terror there lies quiet huinor. little
grewsome perhaps, but humor neverthe-
less.
This undertaken boards at hotel Just
across the street, and not long since as
he walked into the Office one evening
about dinner time be observed leaning
against the end of the desk cadayerous
looking man whom his experienced eyes
informed him was rapidly approaching
the last stages of consumption. As he
passed the desk he remarked in an un-
dertone to the clerk, "I'll get that fell
low pretty soon."
Having finished his dinner, he return
ed to the Office, and seating himself in
one of the chairs where he could watch
the door of his establishment he fell in
to dreamy mood. Perhaps it was MEM
ories of younger days made him senti-
mental. At all events he began hum
ming some old ballads. The tune of the
old song, "I'm Waiting, My Darling,
For Thee, came to his mind. He hum
med it over again and again, trying to
recall the words. A man seated in front
of him seemed to be growing restless.
Suddenly the words came to him, and
in louder tone he sang the first meas
ure, "I'm waiting, my darling, for
thee" That was as far as he got. The
man in front turned round--it was the
consumptive-his bright eyes flashing as
in husky but angry tones he said, 81
can take joke as we'll as any man, but
when an undertaken sits behind me and
sings I'm Waiting, My Darling, For
Thee, it's altogether too much" The
undertaken arose slowly, and his face
resumed its mournful expression as he
walked out of the door and toward his
place of business. Chicago Times Her
