solution Of the problems presented by
such a state OF affairs would have been
the approval Of slavery by majority OF
the people in the non-slaveholding
States 10 the point Of assisting in the
catching of fugitive slaves, a thing

Republican Platform.
The Republican platform was a good

points were:

2. The necessity Of maintaining the
principles OF the Declaration OF hide

3. Condemnation of disunion senti-
ments.
4. Denunciation OF the invasion OF Ter
ritories by armed force (aImed evidently

.. Condemnation Of sectionalism as dis
played by the party in power.
s. Condemnation Of Administration ex-
trayagances.
z. Condemnation OF the theory that
slavery follows the Constitution.
5. Denial OF authority on the part OF
Congress TO give legal existence to
slavery In any Territory.

the African slave trade.

MORTAR MADE BY sAvAGEs.

Mortar was made by the people OF
Tahiti when our ancestors were shiv-
ering in holes in the rocks. They dived
into the sea- brought up great Jumps OF
coral. burned them in pits. using wood
as fuel, and mixed the lime they got in
this fashion with sharp sand and water.
With this mixture the ingenious savage
plastered the walls and floors of his
house, and a better mortar could not
be obtained.
Another purely savage invention which
is perhaps the most familiar object Of
modern life Is the tobacco pipe-not only
the common clay, which the North
American Indians nodded centuries ago
out OF the red sandstone Of Colorado,
but the wooden pipe. the prototype or
the everyday briar The bowl was hol-
lowed out of any well-seasoned piece OF
hard wood, but the stem rather puzzled
people who had no augers. In some
savage pipes which have crooked stems
the wood of which the latter was COM
posed has been split, each piece hoi-
lowed separately and the two pieces
nicely spliced together again.

themselves did. Essentially an agricul-
tural people, they had a devotion 10 the

fully comprehensive 10 the Northerner
who has spread his colonies from ocean
- ocean. varying his civilization TO suit
the needs OF the moment within the
space Of two genera tons. In the South
everything made itself a personal ques-
ton at that time: meanwhile the North
was thinking IN abstract terms and dis
cussing principles. There were personal
Royalties and antagonisms In the North
as there was discussion Of distractions
IA the South, but the tendency Of each
section was toward an extreme.
Convention Platforms.
The platforms Of the two conventions
show that the party IN power knew, as
It had known for several years Irevi-
oGsly. exactly what it wanted and
that the opposition was beginning to
make up its mind about certain things
that II wanted.
The Democratic platform favored;
/. The settlement OF Territories by
all citizens OF the United states, their
rights unimpaired.
.. The protection Of such citizens In
their rights by the Federal Government.
2 The right OF such a Territory TO be
admitted 20 the Union, whether slave or
free
4. The acquisition Of Cuba.
5. The condemnation OF efforts OF State
LEGISLATURES to defend the execution OF
the fugitive slave law.
c. The protection Of naturalized citi-
zens.
7. The construction by Government
aid Of a railroad TO the Pacific Coast.
The logical sequence Of this policy
would have been the settlement OF at
least .wo-thirds Of the Territories as
slave States. while IN the rest OF the
country slavery must exist IN individual
cases. wherever the STAKEHOLDER found it

"Maarifshn River.

The late Maxwell Sommerville of
the University of Pennsylvania spent
nearly forty years of his ffe in ORR

Prof. Sommerville used sometimes
to narrate the strange error that was
once made by French explorer he
had known.
This explorer had made a journey
to Kairwan and had drawn map of
the country he had passed through.
The singular thing about this map
was that the name "Maarifsh" APP

would be the "Maarifsh River; a
mountain would be Mount Maarifsh"; ;
village, a lake. a valley-each would
be called "Maarifsh."

himself upon a stone bench to hold his
head In his hands. I'VE cannot drive

Sebert leaped up and caught the lad
by the shoulders, then hesltated,
weighing 1t in his mind, half fearing
to believe. But are you sure that
your tongue will net trip you? Or
your face, poor mouse?"
The boy seemed to gather strength
from the caressing hands, as Thor

voice deepened with feeling. "By the

there was no other way of getting
away than to sneak into his room and

census valuation, places it at $4,500,-
