1h. History OF the Inauguration Bail.

~~S va S-S A40o ~
The Inauguration ball dates from
the very beginning. There was a
ball when Washington was inaugu-
rated in New York, but owing to the
pressure of other demands upon his
time 1t did not take place till the
evening Of March 2. Washington
attended and performed a minuet
with Miss Van zand and danced
cotillons with Mrs. Peter Van
Brugh Livingston, Mrs. Maxwell
and others. There was no ball at
his second Inauguration because Of
its extremely quiet character, and
there was none when Mr.. Adams
came in because of the general grief
over Washington's departure. I can
find no mention Of a ball when JET
ferson was inaugurated, but there
was one when Madison came in, and
since then there has been no break
In the custom. There were two when
Polk was inaugurated, and two
when Talyor succeeded him-an adj
ministration and an opposition ball
on each occasion, both very well at
tended. The crush was sc great at
the Taylor administration ball that
many persons narrowly escaped in
jury, and there were loud complaints
because Of the inadequate supply of
refreshments .-Joseph B. Bishop in
Century.

The late Confederate General Shell
by stood up for the rights Of the ne
gro on one occasion in a way that
entities him to high praise. When
he was appointed a United States
marshal, he selected Lee jackson, a
negro, as one of his deputies. Hewas
severely criticised for this by some
southern papers, but he refused to
weaken and justified his act in the
following reply: 1.-THE young man
is competent to render effective serv-
ice in lines where white men cannot
do al we'll, perhaps, as he will do.
I appointed him for efficiency and
have no patience with that senti-
ment that gropes always among the
tombstones instead of coming out
into the bright light of existing life
and conditions. The negro was al
ways faithful to his people when a
slave. He has been no less faithful
to his friends since he has become a
freeman. He is becoming useful in
ways never dreamed of before the
war, and 1t is unmanly to deny him
the right to do for himself every
thing that will improve and better
his condition. thrust that this is the
last l shall have to say In defense
Of my official action. I am right in
what I have done, and by the right
I propose to stand. New York
Tribune.

"A man carrying an armful of fire.
wood would not ordinarily be made the
subject of comment. When, however.
the man represents a people who used
to think that such labor was a degra-
dation, he is interesting from a socio-
logical point Of view. A correspondent
of the New York Evening Post, writing
from Montana, tells Of seeing q Chey-
enne Indian walking from the brush
up to his lodge carrying wood. BY, his
side was a tiny girl with a backload
Of little twigs. A few years ago an
Indian would have been ashamed to be
seen doing what he would have called
a squaw's work. To-day the tribes are
directly, and consciously, and of neces-
sity adopting civilized ways. The little
girl at play represented the past; the
man, a promise Of the future.

The German Way.

The Berlin police have adopted a
neat way Of stopping the sale OF
poisonous preparations without pro-
oeedings against the advertisers
with the machinery of the law
They insert in each newspaper under
the advertisement an announcement
to the effect that they have caused
an analysis to be made, and that the
article advertised is composed Of So
and-so, and it's intrinsic value is SO
much. A case in point was a cos
metic for the complexion, mainly a
solution of corrosive sublimate, which
is a poison, but which is sold at
enormous profit by the manufactur-
ers. The police. it appears, do not
interfere in the case of harmless
preparations. They leave the buyer
TO his own resources.

A great dry-goods store in Chicago
has recently established in it's own
building a school where the employees
are given free instruction in common
and advanced branches of learning.
Under such fostering influences the
smallest cash-boy learns that intelli-
gence rules the world, and that an am
bition for education is manly. Suppose
all business men should manifest the
spirit of h%elpfulness here shown. Sup
pose, too, they avoided forcing the
wage of persons in their employ down
to the last dollar under which employ
ment can be obtained. Suppose, also,
that wise, yet generous consideration
was shown in the payment of wages,
Would employees then be restless and
resentful? The uneasy Observation-Disclosures
would still be heard. They would
make trouble under any condition OF
life. But the estcanged attitude of the
majority of our employees toward en-
ployers would be modified.

1t is said of a combined telegraph
and telephone apparatus, the device OF
an army officer, that while one soldier
is sending a message in Morse charac-
ters, a second soldier may use the same
wire to talk telephonically with another
station. The distant receiving opera
tors hear only their own messages.
This apparatus, it is further said, may
be carried conveniently in the users
hand. What if Napoleon could have
availed himself of such a contrivance
at Waterloo? Would history be just
the same?

Exception is often taken to the use
of the word pedagogue instead Of
schoolmaster, when a teacher is to be
mentioned. What if one called the
place where teaching is done a peda-
gogue? 1t would sound odd enough
now, but the word was formerly used
in that sense. Thus an English writer
of the last century, in describing his
journey to the East, said, Another
part (of the university is what they
call the pedagogue, which is for noble
men and gentlemen. There are six
youths in each room, with a master
over them"

Terrible Tig.r-Hunting Adventure.

Terrible Tiger-Hunting Adventure.
A British officer in India had gone
out upon an elephant in search of a
tiger, which had just killed a man and
two bullocks within half a mile Of
camp. The hunt was brief, and the Off
GER presently got two shots at the tiger,
but without killing him. The jungle
was heavy, and it was already getting
dusk when the servant touched the Off
Ger from behind and said, There he

the man himself, as quoted by General

The instant I touched the ground, the

foot in his mouth. and with one bite
crushed the heel and ankle-bone to

While some of the witnesses against
Lind were trying TO traduce him because
he supported an educator who is sup
posed to have taught evolution, Prof.
John Fiske, the great historian, lectured
in the same city and among other things
said:
"The last quarter of the nineteenth Cen
fury has been pre-eminently the age of the
decomposition of orthodoxy. One and all
orthodox creeds are crumbl,ng into ruins
everywhere. The thought of today will
shortly reach plane where there will
be no place nor use for orthodoxy.
There is all about us worldwide in
fluence at work affecting temporary and
local causes. From day to day our
knowledge is increasing. From the dis
covery of America down to the universal
doctrine of evolution there has been one
grand triumphant progress Of the world
Ia which we live. By this knowledge
our minds are broadened from day to
day, from year to year, in thousands of
OF ways. It opens our minds to new
truths. Old beliefs are scornfully re-
jected. Old beliefs no longer fit in the
new scheme of things. They have ceased
to fit the world as we know it. Free
thought has been unpopular. It has
come like thief unbidden and unwel-
come, but it has come to stay, for cramp-
ing creed has lost its charms for him
who has tasted of the fruit of the tree of
knowledge. We need wings now to sus-
tain our flight till faith and knowledge
