Thomas Cooper in the South.

SOCPSt AhS 0SAAh
 Said a Carolinian. by adoption long an Alabamian:
 'Dr. Thomas Cooper, the Englishman, friend of pr. Priestly the Englishman, of whom you made mention yesterday, Is an historic figure. He was one of the emi- nent prisoners punished under the sedi- tion law of John Adams administration. He was imprisoned and fined s40O, to pun ish him for disrespectful words uttered about President Adams public acts and opinions. MT. Jefferson had Cooper placed high on the faculty of the University of Virginia, many years later. Jefferson pro- nounced him the most learned man (he) ever met! He was taken from the faculty of the diversity of Virginia to the presidency of the South Carolina College, promotion In those days It has been be- lieved on what we call history, that MT, Calhoun led the earliest movement in South Carolina against the tariff but really Dr. Thomas Cooper and a young man, Robert Barnwell Rhett, were the earliest organizers of the anti-tariff movement.there. Calhoun was then Vice President in John Quincy Adams term of the Presidency.
 'As to pr. Coopers religious senti- ments, he was perfectly upright, moral man. He was Unitarian, as we now see the term applied He was the first in structor in the science of Political Econ- omy in any American college whatsoever. He divided with Silliman of Harvard, or Yale as the fact may be, the honor of being one of the two founders of the science of geology in all American col leges. Under him the South Carolina Col legc was second to no college in America.
 "The late Chancellor Lesesnc of Mobile, who was drowned in Mobile bay married the only daughter of Dr. Cooper, Miss Fanny.
 "The alleged eaphorism of Lincoln to the effect that this is a government of the people, by the people, for the people, docs not harmonize with Dr. Coopers. clear and definite comprehensions of the American theory. He certainly Fnew bet ter than that The federal government is not popular government in any one of it's features. We have two branches of Con- gress, both elected by the states. Ala bama does not count a single vote in electing a. representative in Congress from any other state. Each state chooses it's own Representative and it's own Sen ators. The people of the United States do not elect either branch of Congress, nor the Pro sident, nor the Supreme Court, nor any federal officer whomso- ever We have not a democracy, but Republic.
 Tn word, our federal government is not democracy as Lincoln wanted it to be when his side was in the ascendency. and it is not likely that Dr. Thomas Cooper ever so far forgot himself as to originate the democratic anarchical ap- horism of MT Lincoln"

Astrologer Raphaers prophecies for this day, Wednesday. February 13. 1901:
 Travel in afternoon; be careful in all else."
 'see to thy health and keep 1t in order, this being thy birthday. During thy year thou wilt in many ways be annoyed in thy business. and wilt lose money, wilt travel and change and meet much mis- fortune"
 "A child born on this day will be quick and active in business, but not fortunate by any means. If a female, she will marry a very quick-tempered man."

Story on Father o'ReilIy.

Everybody has 0 friend in Father O'Reilly, everybody knows, and the re- suit is that he is the best-loved of all men, being broad-minded. liberal, and truly charitable,'' confessed a man of the world last night.
 There are many good stories on this good priest, but the latest is the best in suggestiveness of his broad spirit of the brotherhood of men. The other day a man called upon the priest for payment of bill for work done in the business re- lation of St. Paul's church. maybe car penter's work the hauling of coal, or something of that character. The bill was for twenty dollars, and the priest didn't have that much cash, nor did he have q blank bank check The man undertook to get check, and so he rushed across to the office of the Alabama Christian Ad vocate, the Methodist weekly, which IS near the priests house, and got one of the Advocate checks and carried it to the priest.
 Father O'Reil1y filled out the check pay to John Blank twenty dollars and signing 1t hurriedly, gave it to the man he owed for church work. The check was presented to the paying teller of the First National Bank in this form, after the heading Alabama Christian Advo- cate:
 "'Pay to John Blank twenty dollars.
 "'P. A. O'REILLY,
 "'Business Manager"
 '"The priest had forgotten to strike out Alabama Christian Advocate and 'busi- ness manager and the pleasing incident Is being widely circulated. It Is little funny that the next issue of the Advo- cate, perhaps inadvertly printed in the first column of its second page an article referring to the extent to which Roman Catholic observances are spreading among Protestant churches

address he said-well said:
The boy of New England need no
more hasten to the city; he may remain
on the farm, and the electric car will
bring the city to his door. He need no
longer cultivate an hundred acres; ten
acres are enough, and one acre under
glass will bring him larger return of
profit than hundred brought his
grandfather. He may go to the agri-
cultural college almost without cost,
and the study of the chemistry of the
soil shall teach him what his wall-build-
ing fathers never knew. He may dig
out the old wells now; he may ring out
the old bells, for new times are on the
march. The world must have the sur

Still pursuing the subject of islands,
how many who now look upon the dense
growth on Sears Island realize that less
than quarter of century ago the is
land was stripped bare of wood and
timber. The site of the old Sears
mansion, which stood on an eminence
facing south with the grounds sloping
down to the shore. has long been va
cant, the house having been destroyed
by fire years ago; but the farm build
ings remain on what may be called the
shore end, near the bar by which the
mainland is reached at low tide. From
time to time reports have been in circu-
lation that this property had changed
hands; that the New York Yacht Club
was about to build club house and
have station there; but we believe the
island is still owned in the Sears family.
Some day it may be the home of a
summer colony, for which purpose it is
admirably adapted.

ISLAND NOTES.

The passing mention of Thrumbcap
last week, in the article on Gilkey's
Harbor, recalled to our local historian,
Hon. Joseph Williamson, some inter-
esting facts concerning this place.
Some years ago Mr.. Williamson receiv-
ed a letter from gentleman in the
West who expressed desire to own an
island on the Maine coast. Mr.. w. con-
suited the Islesboro historian, Capt. j.
P. Farrow, who suggested Thrumbcap,
although it is not really an island save
at high water. The would-be purchaser
was communicated with and he decided
to buy, notifying Mr.. Williamson to
have the deed made out and he would
call for it on certain day. This he did,
and it is thought thatrhe has never
seen his acquisition. Recently another
gentleman appeared who wanted to be
come the owner of Thrumbcap, and after
some difficulty Mr.. Williamson located
the first purchaser, who wrote that the
reason which impelled him to acquire
an island on the Maine coast no longer
existed and he was willing to sell. The
transfer was accordingly made, and
perhaps summer cattage may eventu-
ally occupy the site of the old monu-
ment, or beacon.

While on the subject of islands, it
seems strange that the northern end of
Islesboro should not be developed, par
ticularly as the steamboat landing at
the Lime Kiln affords better facilities
for communication than were enjoyed
when DR.. Davis was monarch of all he
surveyed on Turtle Head This proper
ty is now owned by George P Field of
Boston, and besides the site of the Da-
Wis Island Home" of which so many
Belfast people have pleasant recollec-
tons, there are many desirable loca-
lions for summer homes, and a well
which furnishes water as clear as crys-
tai and cool as an east wind. The views
from this side of the island are fine,
commanding the mouth of the Penob-
scot river, Castine harbor with its SEN

all sizes, but close to the Islesboro
shore is narrow strip of beach sloping
down from the highest point in the cen
