In one of his lectures before the Low ell institute, Boston, recently Professor c. F. Wright combated the suppositiop that the conclusions of modern physical science are free from difficulties and clear of all doubt Instead of such be- ing the case science, he declares, Is lead ing deeper and deeper into mysteries and substituting instead of single mys- teries an ever increasing multitude for each one. He instanced in Illustration the Newtonian theory of gravitation as involving paradoxes to this day unex- plained, argRing that if bodies act up on each other at distance without any intervening medium then @ thing can act where it Is not, which is an absurd ity, while, on the other hand, if there is material medium filling all space, and a gravity is transmitted through that by push rather than by pull, then the transmission ought to occupy some appreciable time, but this 1t does not do, and at any rate, If its action Is not absolutely instantaneous, It's veloc3- ty must be at least fifty million times greater than that of light. Moreover, every effort to represent gravitation as the result of push from behind ln- wolves absurdities of various kinda In fact, Newton's final conclusion was that the philosophy of gravitation is abso- lutely inconceivable and it's action para dOxiCal

New England Meeting Houses.

Cotton Mather said: II find no just ground in Scripture to apply such a trope as church to a house for public worship. A meeting house is the term that is most commonly used by New England Christians, and every town, for the most part, can say we have a modest and handsome house for the worship of God, not set off with gaudy, pompous, theatrical fineries, but suited unto the simplicity of Christian wor- ship"
 The people were seated in the early days, says Dr. Ezra Hoyt Byington, in his book on "The Puritan In England and New England" on rough benches, men and women on opposite sides. Pews were not provided first. Now and then a special vote was passed by the town authorizing some person to build pew in the meeting house at his own expense. Squares on the floor, about 6 feet by 6, were deeded to individuals, on which they erected pews to suit themselves. The best seat was some- times assigned to the man who paid the highest tax in the parish. Sometimes the committee was instructed ito have respect upon them that are 50 years old and upward, others to be seated according their pay" In one in- stance we have a record that the com mittee was instructed Ito have respect to age, office and estate, so far as 1t tendeth to make man respectable, and to everything else that hath the same tendency '" ...

It was in the height of this uelee that & man who had been oounseling the financial deputy of the commune rode up, adorned by red sash and other insignia of the terroristN. He made bis way through the vociferous throng and handed the governor of the bank large envelope. While the ohcial was reading 1t the besashed emissary turned to the clamor4ng nomads and, in tongue unknown to the officials and probably to many of the mob, addressed them few sentences.

but Never Caught.
 During the summer of 1875 bands of Indians returning from a hunt far out on the plains brought in stories of hav- ing seen at different times and in differ ent places, and always in the center o2 large herd, white buffalo. They had used their best horses in the effort to overtake 1t to no purpose, never being able to get anywhere near the animal At first we did not pay much attention to these stories, but still it kept crop ping up from different camps, and at last, in the fall of 1875, l myself had a chance to verify the truth of the report I had been sent on duty north along the Red Deer river and was oamped near a large band of Blaokfeet, who were hunt ing south of that river. The buffaloes had moved north In vast numbers and the prairie was black with them.
 had gone out one morning with a party of Blaokfeet to see one of their hunts, and also to try and kill for my self. My horse was good one and much faster than any belonging to the Indian hunters had got detached from the party, becoming tired of the slaughter, and must have been at least 30 miles from camp, when made for a small olump of timber not far off, intending to build fire and roast portion of some buffalo meat had on the saddle with me. As approached the wood a band of about 100 animals burst out of the brush and made of to the south, and, yes, most certainly, In the middle of them was white buffalo. Although they were quarter of mile away, there could be DO mistake about 1t He was there as large as life and quite white and running like deer. There was no time to much more than take in the scene, but gathered up the reine and was after him, determined to bag that buffalo or kill my horse.

At last they began to tire, and, although my horse tired also, had good hopes of coming up and getting 6 shot.
