OUR SILVER NE1GHBoR.

In a recent letter from the City of Mex ico to the Boston Herald MT. F. R. Guernsey says:
 Mexico is the new southwest of this continent; it has all that the heart of man can desire: it has now a strong government, and security for life and property, and it has prosperity Nobody Is pulling a long face down here. It is rank heresy to say so right in Bos- ton, but we ascribe our happy position to having no bothersome currency ques- tion. Mexico made the plunge, adopted silver, let gold go and is standing firmly based on her two feet and paying every dollar she owes. Experience is worth all the theory in the world. Here stands old Mexico. old in years, fresh and young in heart, all alive with the spirit of enter prise. Come and see her: throw your prejudices to the winds Mexico will not be fooling around bond syndicates nor trying to get. a gold basis when a silver one answers every purpose. If you come here you will be a silver man, just as Jay Gould was a democrat in democratic counties and a republican in republican counties, and you can put on your sound money opinions when you cross the bor- der to go home. But sound money, I take it, is sort of money that pays your bills and is good wherever you tender it."

Hon. Tennent Lomax on Thursday evening at Montgomery was vociferously called for by the audience at the conclu- sion of Captain Johnston's speech. His remarks were very strong and eloquent. MT. Lomax has a strong hold upon the affections of the people of Montgomery, and deseryedly so. He is honest, true and capable.

A Ship Sunk at Mobile.

Mobile, Feb. 21.-The Norwegian ship Frank Carrill, in passing down Mobile river yesterday on the way to the lower bay, struck an obstruction, probably a floating log and in a short time thereafter sank in the channel.

MISS GUILDS LECTURES.
The Occult Doctrine of the Lodge of the
Masters of Wisdom.

The Lodge of the Masters of Wisdom
was the subject of the lecture by Miss NJ.
L. Guild at 5O775 Congress St Saturday
evening. Miss Guild said in substance;
Perhaps no one of the ideas which
theosophy lays before the world has ex
cited SO much angry opposition as that
of the Masters of Wisdom. This is large
ly so because our pride objects to the i'm
plications that we are among the inferior
rather than the superior members of the
human family, and that we have been
all along Ignorant of fact which. If
true, is one Of the most important in the
world. Theosophy asserts that such be-
ings as we imagine Christ to have been
have always existed. The knowledge
which he showed of the hidden laws of
nature is only small portion of what he
really know; of what all Masters KNOW
Vibration is something of which most
people have heard in connection with
science and matter. 1t is the mode of
motion among the PARTICLES of that mat
ter. Theosophy says that our own state
OF consciousness is also a rate of vibra-
tion, and it's limit is determined by that
rate. That is why we can only sec oolors
up to violet and down to red, although
other colors exist. We can only hear, that
is become conscious of, sound up to a
certain note. Beyond that, although the
note sounds, there is silence. That is be-
cause the higher note, like the higher col
or, is vibrating more rapidly than our own
consciousness. We can not take in any
thing above or below our own rate. We
are all conscious alike of the physical
world because we all vibrate within the
Same great scale. Occultism asserts that
there are in the universe seven great
scales or planes of vibration, and that
each man has the same planes within
himself. 1t is possible by training, as
plration and will for a man to raise his
rate of vibration so that he car become
conscious of the other world planes as
he is of this one and so in the same way
study the laws that govern those other
planes. This the adopts have done, and
perfect knowledge and mastery OF all the
laws of all planes constitute Master Of
Wisdom. :
Where do they live and why don't we
know them? They live everywhere
whore they are needed and we don't
know them for the same RS ason that
Christ was not known. Now, as then,
few only recognize the Christ. 1t is
impossible for us to measure anyone
above as in knowledge or power II
they were to come among US and show
their powers openly thoy would be wor-
shipped by some as Gods and hunted by
others as devils.

Cut an Artery.

: Eddie, the little son of Mr.. Martin
Greeley, living on Danforth street, met
with an accident Saturday afternoon that
will probably cause him 30 have lame
hand for some time. He was playing
with bottle when he stumbled and fell,
breaking the bottle and cutting an artery
in his right hand. The little follow was
taken to his home and a physician
called, who sewed up the wound and
bandaged the hand. 1t was impossible
to tell at the time how serious the wound
was but the boy will probably have a
sore hand for several days at least.
