A writer who has been entertained
by the sultan says his majesty is quiet
and very much OF a gentleman. He has
4 velvet voice and is evidently a man
Of conscience and culture. He cannot
help the assassination which has oc-

II Mr.. Dana left orders that his own
newspaper should be beaten by every
other journal in the country In con-
nection with the news Of his own
leath, it is evident that something was
the matter with him besides the al
legged cause OF his departure. Eccen-
tricity is pardonable where 1t can't be
helped: but the kind Of eccentricity
that troubled Horace Greeley was per-
mitted no authority in the oficN OF

This is an age of progress and the
church cannot afford to stagnate. The
modern improvements. He pays pas
toral calls on a bicycle; he lights his
church by electricity and he Is expert
menting with the plan of giving his
sermons a wider circulation by trans
hitting them to his parishioners by
telephone. The newspaper is by far
the most effective aid he can employ.
It Is the ultimate manifestation of
modern progress and energy. The

A women's society for political
study recently tried and acquitted
Aaron Burr He was forgiven for his
gallantries to women other than his
wife. Had he lived in another age
and time" said one lady, speaking of
these gallantries, he would have been
treated differently" Evidently the
present time was directly referred to-.
though we are glad to say that the
lady didn't press the point or defend
the alleged fact very energetically. He
was also forgiven for marrying Mad
anne Jumel for her money; and then
the society decided that it wasn't prop

The present year will have among
its noteworthy anniversaries the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary OF the
death Of Isaac Watts. 1t will be chiefly
az a writer of hymns that he will be
honored by affectionate remembrance.
OF his hymns the Christian world has
chosen few as pre-eminent. II he
had written only the hymn beginning,
20 God. our help in ages past his
name would have sure place In the
roll of makers of verse worthy and des-
tined to live. A great hymn levels de-
nominational barriers. While men are
talking of Christian unity, or dream
ing Of it, the hymn, in Its sphere OF in
nuence, II only for the moment when
heard or sung, makes believers one. He
who has strengthened and inspired gen.
erations, refreshing the saints and NOV
ing those who make no pretensions tc
saintliness, may well be remembered.
