and slavery Here we lay foundation
for future generations to understand their
liberty, as men and Christians, that they
may not be brought TO bondage but BY
their own consent-for we put the power
10 the pseple. Tbese words are the pro
phecy of that other great deliverence 300
years later by Abraham Lincoln at Gettys
burg.
The experiment of putting the govern
ment 10 the people can have perfect success
only when individual sovereignty is fully
realized aud respected. 1t implies that
every mans religions and political senti
ments are entitled TO the respect of his
neighbors and that however men may
differ 10 these points and however they
may accociate themselves in religious and
political organization, thers lies under
meath all these common unity in neigh
borship and citizsnship. Political and
religious zsal are ell right and capable OF
doing much good 10 their respective
prss if they interfere with the common
interests Of citizenship, and am glad to
declare that one Of the most promising
signs OF the awakening that have indi
Gated has been the enlargiug view Of what
we townsmen are and what We need and
the consequent bringing together into
earnest work OF men who once felt that
they had little ia common.

THE NEWEST NAPOLEON.
IL He Succeeds He VIII he Entitled
the Firth of That Illustri-
Gus Name.

France has the best army in the
world-on paper. Insulted by England,
afraid Of Germany, uncertain OF Rus
sia, and worse than all, uncertain of
herself, she lacks numbersof things,
but most, perhaps, a man. 1t IS ru-
mored that there is a coup d'etat in
preparation, and that presently the
man will appear. The latter is Napoleon
V. We must not believe everything
we see in the papers, yet, should the
rumor be correct, he would not be un-
welcome. In the present circumstances
a word or two concerning him may be
of interest.
At present a colonel of the guards at
St. Petersburg. he has three character
istics. He IS great chap with the
girls. That is promising. lie wears no
decorations. That is the mark of q
really distinguished soldier. He in

the French call charmeur, he has sue

of Frances spaniel crouch at that door
this means a good deal. His name, too,
is potent. Napoleon may rhyme with
Sedan, but it rhymes even better with
Austerlitz.
"But why, it has been asked should
the grandson Of jerome Bonaparte be
Napoleon "? For two reasons. First.
because the prince imperial would have
been Napoleon IV-would have been,
that Is, provided other things were fav-
orable; second, because there is luck in
odd numbers-particularly in his fam
lily. It is worth noting that the third

history is made.-Collier's Weekly.

FRENCH ARE PHILOSOPHERS.

The more nations I make the ac-
quaintance of the more deeply con-

Frenchman, with all bis faults and
shortcomings, is the happest man in
the world. OF course, the wealthy
classes have everywhere found the way
of enjoying life, more or less, but 10

these classes are interesting. Good So
cicty is good society everywhere. For
a study, give me the masses of the peo-
pie. And it is among the masses in
France that, after all, find the great

man is a cheerful philosopher. He

GRAFTON. When you say that a country
has temperate climate you do not
mean that it has no climate at all; you
mean that IL has a climate which is
neither too hot nor too cold. We have
no teetotalers, because we practically
have no drunkards. A Frenchman
would be as astonished to find that the
law prevented him from having a glass
of wine, because a few imbeciles use
wine to get drunk with, as he would ia
find that the law forbade him TO use

RAILRoADING IN CHINA.
The Advent of the Iron Horse Among
the CeleEtials Was Not Rt.
All MeIcome.

Mr.. Cox, who was recently assaulted
near Peking. had had many similar ex-
periences during the dozen years he has
been railroad building in the Chilli
province and has only extricated him
self by dint Of tact, pluck and good hui
NOR. He has practically for years car
ried his life in his hand. In 1890, for
instance, during the floods, a mob, led
by the soldiery Of Lutai, a military
camp near Tien-Tsin, cut the railway
embankmeut and destroyed seven miles
of their line, their officers encouraging
them and enlightened Niceroy Ii Hung
Chang in his yamen a. few miles on,
"layin' low and sayin' muffin" The
cause alleged was that the embanlment
prevented the flood water from running
off, which. as there were frequent out
let's, was utter nonsense. Previous to
that attempts had been made to wreck
trains and the lives of the foreign em-
ployes were constantly threatened.
The life too of the foreign guard on a
train is not always q happy one. Man
darins' servants without tickets take
possession of a first-class carriages eat,
drink. sleep and perform other func-
tions of nature in it. Perhaps they
light a pan Of charcoal TO warm them
selves If the weather is cold. Charcoal
has certain asphyXiating effects; the
other passengers complain and the
servants have to be elected. Too much
violence might lead to a general attack
on foreigners and another Tien-Tsin
massacre, while too little would not be
effective. The unhappy guard has to
follow the "happy" mean between a
good hard push and a mild knock-down
blow.
There have, of course, been many ludi-
crous as well as dangerous incidents on
the North China line. When it was
first opened Chinese would come TO the
booking office. and try TO bargain for
tickets. When told the fare they would
offer half and gradually raise their bid,
much disgusted that they should not in
a business spirit, be met half way.
One day a country gentleman on his
first ride in a train seeing his house
midway between two stations flying
past deliberately opened the door and
Stepped out into space. AT the pace the
train was goinga European would GER
tainly have been killed, but the supple
celestial, after a prolonged series OF
somersaults, was seen to pick himself
and bundle up, dust his clothes and sci
of home across the felds-muct

venience of the fire wheel carriage"

trucks coming at a snairs pace down Z
