ONE VIEW OF EXPANSION.

At the Central Christian church yester.
day morning the Rev. w. H. Ragby
spoke on the subject Of territorial expan-
sion. His remarks, which were listened
to by large and deeply interested audi
enoe, were in part as follows:
The American people are today face to
face with this question OF territorial ex-
pansion. As Christian citizens II becomes
our imperative duty to know the right
side OF it. Much is being said in the
press both for and against The subject
cannot be seen in its true light when
viewed from the standpoint Of politics, Or
profit or even patriotism. To be seen in
all its fullness it must be viewed in its
relation 10 the growth OF the kingdom of
heaven. My arguments in favor Of ter
ritorial expansion are based upon the
following propositions:
IL is the purpose of God that the king
dom OF heaven shall embrace the whole
earth. This is the ultimate goal toward
which the church OF Jesus Christ is
marching. II a nation fiourshes it Is be-
cause 1t is helping in the furtherance OF
the kingdom Of God; II one falls, il is be-
cause 1t is binderng the onward march
OF the mighty movement that has for it's
end the magnfication Of the God OF heaven
millions OF the human race.
The expansion OF the kingdom OF God
involves the expansion OF those nations
whose God is the Lord.
The establishment OF the kingdom of
heaven upon the earth involves the evan
gelzation OF some nations and the exterm-
ination OF others. Some nations, as such,
can be evangelized; others cannot
Sometimes path for the progress of
the kingdom OF heaven has 70 be hewn
with the sword. Christ teaches that this
is true He said: Think not that
came to send peace on earth; | came not
70 send peace. but sword"
In territorial expansion it is not so much
question OF motive as of merit The
fact that the thought of promotion, or
profit, or powress, or patriotism is back
OF the action Of many who take an active
interest in territorial expansion does not
necessarily initiate against the achieve.
nent OF a worthy end.
The time has come in the history of
this Christian nation when expansion
will be good for us and the world Mt
large. God wants the voice and the in
huence OF the nation whose God is the
kOrd, TO be heard aud felt in the councils
OF the nations He opens up to MS the |

Their silent Conversation.

Seated opposite me in a st. Charles
avenue street car the other day" said
a gentleman who lives in the neighbor-
hood of Tulane University, was mid
dle-aged woman and a chubby faced
man of perhaps 27 or %. They were
neatly but rather poorly dressed and
were holding several large bundles.
Presently I heard the man make a
queer chuckling sound. and. glancing
up, I saw that he was convulsed with
laughter The woman was evidently
amused, too. and was trying in vain
to keep her face straight. She had
prim, severe features. and her thin lips
We're twisted SO strangely that
couldn't help staring at her. Then
looked around to see what the deuce
they were laughing at, but I failed to
discern anything especially funny in
the car, and finally gave it up. In a
few moments I glanced across again,
just in time to catch the queer couple
in another paroxysm of silent mirth.
They seemed a little confused under
my scrutiny, and that suggested the
uncomfortable idea that they were
laughing at me. I took off my hat,
glanced at my clothes and couldn't dis
cover anything unusual about my ap-
pearance, but at the same time the
thing began to get on my nerves, and
when it was repeated five or six times
I became as nervous as a rat in a
strange garret. During all that while
the couple had not exchanged a single
word. They simply sat there, alter
nately staring into space and shak-
ing with laughter. 1t was a most un-
canny performance, and I was inn
mensely relieved when they got off.
That evening I was narrating my ex-
perience to a neighbor and he imme-
diately solved the mystery. I know
those people well,' said he. They are
deaf mutes and cousins. Whenever
they are together they hold hands and
gossip away to beat the band, all by
the motion of their fingers. You didn't
notice it, but they undoubtedly had

SOME GOOD SILVER.
Virginia Chronicle: James Moran,
formerly employed in mining on the
Comstock, but now located at Truckee,
is making a brief visit here. Mr.. Mo
ran has a mining location on Trout
Greek, one mile northwest of the town
of Truckee, which he is developing by
driving a tunnel that will cut the vein
at depth of i 400 feet
He has advanced the tunnel about
$50 feet by his own labor, removing the
waste by the slow and laborious meth
Cd of wheeling it out in barrow, but
now stands to be we'll rewarded for his
toll, if he succeeds in finding only two
tons of such high grade silver ore as
the sample he has with him, which
should be designated as a nugget, as
it is about four-fifths native silver.
The nugget is remarkable from the
fact that the silver is in a solid mass
cast by nature in the mold of quartz
which surrounds it. This quartz is
also impregnated with coal black sui
phurets, which indicate the presence or
gold. The nugget was not found in q
vein formation, but was panned out by
Mr.. Moran in the waste material taken
out in driving the tunnel. Mr.. Moran
expects to extend the tunnel to the
vein in the next two months. He says
he finds native silver in q large per-
centage of the waste removed in exca-
waiting the tunnel by panning the dirt,
and exhibits a solid mass of the white
metal from the paintings which he
melted in a blacksmith's forge.
