St. Patrick's Church Fair.
The fair under the auspices of the ladies of
St. Patrick's Church commenced last evening
at Casino Hall, and will be continued till Sat-
urday night, when all the prizes will be
awarded. The ladies deserve credit for the
tasty and attractive style in which the hall is
decorated and arranged, and will doubtless be
accorded the patronage they deserve. The
prizes are numerous and valuable, and are
very prettily arranged by the young ladies in
charge. The tables in the hall are as follows:
St. Patrick's table—Presided over by Mrs.
Stoner and Miss L. Ray; St. John's table—by
Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Beck; St. Lawrence's
table—by Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Germaine;
the refreshments and ice cream by Misses M.
Day and Ellen Praine, and the supper table by
Mrs. Lancton and Mrs. Walthew.
All the tables are handsomely decorated and
loaded with good things, and the ladies in
charge are supported by bevies of girls, who
ask for all to come and they will see that thev
are made comfortable. While the threatening
weather prev ented a large attendance yet the
excellence of the entertainment, and the
worthy object to which the proceeds will be
devoted, are amply sufficient to secure success.
The ladies of the Catholic Church are prover-
bial for doing everything they undertake in
the best kind of style; so for to-night, and dur-
ing the whole fail*, good things may be looked
for at the hands of those having this cause in
charge.
Trcmont Opera-House.
Tony Denier's Humpty Dumpty show at-
tracted an excellent crowd last night, and
o le that thoroughly appreciated tbe host of
ei joy able things that were presented for
popular delectation. Unlike the last show
of the kind, it is lengthier and fresh-
er, the u newly hatched" portion of it
being a novelty here, of course, and, as must
be expected, several old plays and gags were
perceptible, but in its entirety Mr. Denier has
an admirable specialty company. Alfred
Miaco, as clown, is an immensity in himself, in-
troducing features that have never before
been seen in clown work in this part of the
country at least. On stilts he puts the boys in
a fit of green envy, while in other matters he
shows himself master of his specialty. The
capital performances of George Steel, "George
Topack, Laura Miaco and Victoria North, in
the pantomime, were, as they deserved to be,
roundly applauded, showiug the cordiality
with which this portion of the show was re-
ceived. In the specialty part of the enter-
tainment, Mile. Cora with her cannon-balls
gave a pleasing performance, but
it is a feature that has grown somewhat
old in the world of sight-seeing. Mile. Sophie
Natalie's cute tricks with the automatons was
a catch most decidedly and afforded a vast
deal of fun. Topack and Steel, in the negro
act, are fun unmixed, and won applause with-
out stint. The horizontal bar work, Walton's
cornet imitations, Etta, the female contortion
ist, and Gleason, with his dogs, finished this
part of the bill. The dogs are tar superior to
the last performance of that kind seen here.
The closing act is in keeping with the rest of
the show, which can be pronounced good.
Another performance will bo given to-night.

ho was asked by Mr. Sweeney to appoint Brock-
away a watchman at the bone-mill. Find-
ing that bis authority did not ox-
te tid that far, and Mr. Sweeney being
desirous of getting him appointed because
be lived in the neighborhood of the works
(a Ithough in the city) he gave him a commis-
sion as special policeman without pay. The
statement that he was appointed for the circus
was an error, nor did he have any right to
Jeave the ground or premises he was employed
to watch. The case of drunk and unable pre-
ferred against him was dismissed yesterday

Confirmed.
The report of the drowning of Louis Dyer in
Iowa, as given in yesterday's News, has been
fully confirmed. Ho was a Galveston boy,
genial in his nature, kind hearted and bright,
and numbered among his friends, not only tbe
great majority of the younger s« >ns of the city,
but scores of the " elder fathers," who looked
up on him .as one of the promising boys of the
city. His death has thrown a shadow over
the whole circle ot' his acquaintance, and all
will mournfully join in tendering to his parents
a heartfelt and tearful sympathy in their grief
and distress. The pai'ticulars Qf y-is
death have not been received, but
when they do come will more than
probably recit-a the story of a gallant and
adventurous lad who was brave enough to bat-
tle with the strongest too. He left here some-
thing like a month or two ago, and joined a
surveying party under one of the former engi-
neers on the International and Great Northern
road, who is engage-1 in running lines for a
road through Iowa toward Yankton, D. T.
The dispatches say that he attempted to cross
Little Sioux river, but was carried down and
lost before assistance could reach him, and the
late telegrams yesterday stated that his body
liad not been recovered, although search was
still going on for it.
Harmony Club.
Toe entertainment at Harmony Club rooms

fund of Temple B'nai Israel, if not re-
markable for the pecuniary success which
attended it. was, from the artistic stand-
point, far above the ordinary amateur
performance. After an overture by the or-
chestra. Miss J. Michael delivered an address
that was gentle, yet warm and genial in its
spirit, and delivered in a most charming man-
lier. Prof. Linden berg's violin solo, Echos
from the Glen, rendered with the full ef-
fectiveness of the artist, was in time fol-
lowed by a quartette from Rigolefcto, sung
by Mrs. C. B. Miller, M.ss Ivlamie Block,
Messrs. Lalor and Becker. In succession came
a cornet solo by Mr. Douglas, and a vocal duet
by Mrs. Spiers and Miss J. Michael, who with
each and all of those named aided to
*nake up a most pleasant affair. Mr.

G. W. Nordholtz.
A Pioneer Gone.
In the death of Mr. David Avers, which has
been already announced in The News, there
went out the flames of a life that has burned
far beyond the allotted period of man, and
which not only binds the close and the birth of
centuries together, but also records upon the
pages of its tablet the story of a connection
with one of the periods in the nation's history,
which, bv the pathetic reminders in the forms
of the few old, bent and year-worn men who
remain, should be reverenced in the hearts of
all who claim American nationality.
Mr. Avers was born in Morristown. N. J.,
August i0, 1703, and was therefore by actual
count 88 years, 2 months and 15 days of age
when the" lamp of his life died out.
In 1832 he came out to Texas, going to what
was then known as Clokies's neighborhood in
Austin's colony, (now Long Point, Washington
county.) In 1832 or 1883 he went North for
the purpose of bringing his family to Texas.
He took them to New York and thence started
by sailing vessel for the new land, but the ves-
sel was wrecked on Mustang Island, on June
10, 183*. Saving his wife and children he went
up the Nueces River to San Patricio, where
h" left his family and went across the country
'iOO miles to the place he had first reached in
Texas, for transportation. He settled in what
is now Washington county, and he remained
there until the approach of Santa Anna's
army drove him with his family, as it did
many others east of the San Jacinto River.
After the war he removed to and settled in the
town of Washington, and, after two or three
years spent there, again moved to Center Hill,
near the present town of Bellville, where he
lived until 1846, when ho came to Galveston
and located, entering upon an active career of
business. During his long years spent
here he made friends through all the
State, and these will drop a
kindly tear upon the name of the good
old man, who so long in the olden days was a
substantial figure among the commercial sup-
ports of the then embryo city. In merchan-
dising or official position, or in whatqrar po-
sition ho filled, he always bOre the name of an
honest, upright man and good citizen. During
the war lie spent his time among his children
and their families in the interior of the State,
his a~o precluding his serving in the army.
Besides, he had given his country service as a
soldier in the war of 1812, and as one of the
veterans of that period has long been on the
pension rolls. Mr. Ayers was noted as being
possessed of a warm heart, a generous, noble
nature, and a heart that never said nay
to an honest call for aid. The ground upon
which St. James Church stands was the gift
of his wife, while the bulk of the fund which
erected the building was of his gift. In numer-
ous other matters his liberality has found ex-
pression, while upon his enterprise and good
judgment has been erected a liberal fortune.
Surviving Mm are two sons—Mr. D. The
Ayers, of this city, and F. H. Ayers, of Missis
sippi, and three daughters—Mrs. Park, of this
city; Mrs. Campbell, of Travis, Austin county,
and Mrs. L. P. Moore, of Bell county. Mrs.
Alexander, another daughter, died in 1878 at
Chappel Hill. There are surviving to the ven-
erable subject of this sketch children, grand-
children and great-grandchildren to the num-
ber of nearly seventy, leaving the perpetuation
of an honorable name in the hands of a pro-
geny that in numbers and strength can guard
it faithfully and well.
IHJE CO UltTS,
United States Circuit Court.
In the cause in equity between William G.
Hale and William Little and others, the clerk
has prepared an order confirming the sale
lately made by the master in said cause, to be
submitted to the court on its convening in
November, The number of acres of land in-
volved in the suit is about 60,000, and embraces
nearly all the lands thus far located on the
islands of Matagorda, St. Joseph and Mus-
tang, on the coast of Texas. The decree is
quite lengthy, covering fourteen pages of legal
cap, anil it is intended to so specify each tract
as to vest the same in the person to whom the
same is partitioned by tUe decree. It is un-
derstood from attorneys who are familiar with
the matter, that the decree in this cause settles
the title to these 60,000 acres of land, and w^ll
be the starting point for those titles in future.

LSpecial Dispatch to the New York World.l
"Washington, October 20.—An old gentle-
man from the interior of Ohio arrived here a
few da3's ago with $17,000 in United States 6
per cent, bonds, which he purchased in 1861,
and which were called in July last. He first
visited the loan division, where he said he
came to obtain gold for his bonds, as he had
paid gold for them. When told that a draft
on the United States treasury was as good as
gold he insisted upon the gold, and would not
listen to any explanation regarding an equiva-
lent in another form. To-day, a little be-
fore noon, he appeared with a large
leather valise, in which he carried
off the full amount of his claim in $20
gold pieces, weighing in all about seventy-
livo pounds. He became very much provoked
with Treasurer Gilfillan when that officer en-
deavored to persuade him to accept drafts and
have them cashed when he reached home, reit-
erating that he came here for gold and declin-
ing to take anything else. H$ staggered upder
his heavy load as far as Assistant-Treasurer
Wyman's room, where ho expressed a wish to
count his treasure before leaving town, A
room was assigned to him ior tb^t purpose.
After the entire amount had beeu carefully
counted and found to be correct, the oid gep-
tlcmaa was persuaded to express toe coin to
bis uorae. During the time he was engaged iu
counting the monev a city detective who had
been summoned kej^t watch over tho bog.
A number o£ United States bopds, amount-
ing to $800, and several United States notes,
aggregating iu value about $150, were re-
ceived ab the Treasury Department this morn-
ing, acoompattied by an unsigned uote re-
questing that the whole be placed to the credit
of tbe Conscience Fund. The render, evi-
dently intent upon defacing the bonds 60
effectually that thev could never be used, cut
them into strips. The bonds therefore aap. not
be identified, hence the object for which the
owner intended them is defeated. None of
the numoers of the bonds were found upon
them, having all been cut off. The package
will be retained at the department until the
other bonds and notes are received, or until
the owner calis for its return. The package
came from Cincinnati.
Only Half Alive. e
There are hosts of men and women who, to'cein
a phrase, are only half alive. Tli^t is to say, they
liave seldom, if ever, any appetite, are nervous,
weak, fidgetty and troubled by numberless small
pains and aches. In the* presence of vigorous, ex-
uberant vitality they seem mare pigmies. Such
persons are usually fond of (frequently dosis;
themselves, swallowing in the course of the year
enough drugs to stock any apo! hecary's shop of
average dimensions. This, of course, defeats in-
stead of lurthering the end in view, viz., the recov-
ery of health and vigor. Were they to seek it frtsm
an unfailing source of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, how different would be their case. Then
▼igor would return to their debilitated frames, the
glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trem-
bling, uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic,
appetite, that grandest of all sauces, would give
relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and
refreshing $leep weujd crown the tasks of the day.

a hundred miles of the grade has been pre-

from San Antonio westward, and tbe rails

It is expected the junction of the two con-

The Southern Pacific Railroad.
Mr. C. P. Huntington has just issued a cir-
cular letter that very concisely and clearly
sets forth his aims and work done in regard to
the Southern Pacific extension to the Gulf of
Mexico at New Orleans. We quote as follows:
Among the Considerations which have in-
duced the promoters of the Southern Pacific
Railroad of California to build an extension of
that route eastward, across Arizona and New
Mexico, have been the following;
1. The creation of a short rail line between
the navigation of the Gulf of Mexico and that
of the Pacific Ocean, within United States ter-
ritory.
2. The accommodation of a very important
local transportation connected with the min-
ing of the vast deposits of precious metals in
those Territories and the adjoining States of
Sonora and Chihuahua.
8. The desirability of establishing an alter-
native line between the Northern Atlantic
States and the Pacific coast, along a parallel of
latitude, and at such altitudes as would avoid
severe winter obstructions.
4. The requirements of a growing system of
railroad lines, extending from the Mississippi
River across Louisiana and Texas, and ri-
ver ging Mexican lines, for a more direct union
with the system of the Pacific coast.
The extension of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad from the Missouri River
across Kansas to Colorado, and thence south-
erly to an intersection with the Southern
Pacific at Deining, 1200 miles east of San Fran-
cisco, afforded a route sufficiently direct and
serviceable to Denver, Chicago, Sfc. Louis and
points to the eastward, though not wholly
exempt from snowy altitudes, and not of
course, available for the expanse of country
between the Ohio River and Guif.
Having completed the Southern Pacific to
the frontier of Texas and Mexico at El Paso
early in 1881, a distance of 1285 miles from the
initial Pacific terminus, as the trains run, it
beoame important to determine the most suit-
able port for the gulf terminus, aud
the routes by which to reach it. The
waters of the gulf at the nearest point
are not more than 650 miles, by an
airline, from El Paso; it appears, however,
that the currents of the Caribbean Sea have
thrown up a ridge or bar of sand, underlaid
by tough clay, along nearly its entire shore
circuit, so that though the inlets and rivers are
numerous, none of them are without a trouble-
some bar, limiting the draft of vessels. New
Orleans—already a considerable railroad cen-
ter, and the depot of a vast inland river navi-
gation, the seat of a vast commerce, popula-
tion and travel—since the success of the Eads
jetties, is the only really accessible port for the
purposes.
From New Orleans to El Faso in an air-line
is about 1000 miles. Three courses were open
to the Southern Pacific to reach this desirable
port: To secure a connection through the Texas-
racific Railway, building across Northern
Texas toward El Paso, and a branch line from
Shreveport to New Orleans, a dietance of 1150
miles; or to seek the use of the more south-
erly route via San Antonio and Houston, a
distance of 1200 miles; or to build an indepen-
dent line direct and intermediate between the
two.
The southerly route, even if it should prove
to be somewhat longer, passes through a more
settled and fertile country, and possesses the
great advantage of lower" and more equable
grades; and, besides, was in the direction near-
est seaport* whenever the harbor improve-
ments shall be carried out. The successive
ridges to be overcome by the more northerly
line, and the sterile character of much of the
route, left no doubt as to the proper choice.
In connection with the lines east of Houston,
forming part of a great through east and west
line from New Orleans, and worked in har-
mony with them, the Sunset Route, as it is
for convenience called, forms not merely the
great avenue between the Gulf and the Pacific,
but also the route by which a good part of the
business passing to and from Mexico will
naturally take.
From New Orleans to San Antonio, 578
miles, the roads have been in successful opera-
tion for some time, and in view of their be-
coming the eastern portion of the Southern
Pacific system have passed, for the most part,
into the same ownership, and, together with
the extension between San Antonio and El
Paso, now in progress, will be worked in the
same general interest as part of the through
line, nearly 2500 miles in*length, between San
Francisco and New Orleans.
The distance between San Antonio and El
Paao is nearly 600 miles by One of the surveyed
The Probative Force of the Duel
[From the Nation.]
When one reads the somewhat ludicrous
stories of campaign duels which are taking
place, or are going to take place, in Virginia
betweap opposing politicians, one can not help
asking once more, in what condition, in the
Southern mind, does tho duel leave the pro-
position out of which the duel arises ? Gen
eral Jubal Early, for instance, says Gen
eral Mahone is a " liar and a thief," and it
was for a while thought that this would
compel Mahone to fight him; in fact, it
appears that but for Early's great age he would
have fought him. Now if he had fought
him, would it have proved anything beyond
the fact that Mahone did not like being
called ua liar and a thief?" "Would it have
proved that he was not a liar and a thief ?
Kiddleberger, the late Republican candidate
for the sergeantship-at-avms of the Senate,
in the great and memorable struggle for
" principlen which Mr. Dawes carried on
last spring, has just been fighting two duels iu
one day, both arising out of the fact that two
gentlemen made allegations of a similar char-
acter about him. Now, where have the duels
left these allegations? They have been made
by men of good standing, and mado with de-
liberation and with the utmost publicity. We
see that they make Riddleberger angry, but
this we knew already. But we do not see, in
consequence of anything that has occurred,
that they are not true. The various essays
and pamphlets which have at times appeared
at tbe South on "the Code" contain nothing
whatever as to the probative force of a duel as a
piece of evidence, and yet it is only as a piece
of evidence that a duel fought by a politi-
cian has any interest whatever for the public at
large. As a sign of his courage it has no in-
terest for any one but his personal friends. In
old times singlo combat had probative force.
It was held that the result of the fight decided
the truth or falsehood of the statement
out of which the fight arose. If A said B was
a rascal, B not only sought to punish A by
fighting him, but to satisfy all spectators that
A had lied. On the other hand, if A vanquished
B, it showed that A's charge was true. The
ordeal of battle, therefore, like the process of
walking blindfold and barefoot over nine red-
hot plowshares, was a useful process. It
supplied the public with materials for forming
a correct judgment about the character of two
men of note. ~ It was, moreover, a process of
great dignity, because it solved by physical
experimentation moral problems which, in a
large number of cases, could not be attacked
by judicial inquiry.
If the modern campaign duel as practiced
at the South served any such purpose, we feel
sure , it weuld meet with a great deal of
approval even at the North. We doubt much
whether even religious people would seriously
object to it. If every man who made a cam-
paign charge could prove or had to prove the
truth of it by a fight with tho man against
whom he made it, it would certainly result
in a wonderful clearing of the political atmos-
phere. It would, too, put it in the power
of many men to get rid of a load of
obloquy under which they have labored
for years, through inability to disprove by
the ordinary methods accusations brought
against their character by political opponents.
But, so far as we know, no Southerner claims
this power for the duel. No mention is made
of it in any eulogy of the duel we have ever
seen. According to the light we have on the
subject, it tells us nothing we care to know
about a man. Nobody cares a rush in these
times whether Mahone or Riddleberger is a
brave man or not. Physical courage is not of
any great importance in ordinary times under
modern government. The country is full of
eminent and useful citizens who have no more
stomach for fighting than Bob Acres.
But we shou.d great'y like to know beyond
peradventure whether what Wise says about
Riddleberger, and what Jubal Early savs about
Mahone, is true or false. If the duel would
reveal this, it would very usefully take the
place of libel suits, because it costs noth-
ing to anybody but the parties concerned,
and takes "up nobody's time but that of their
intimate personal friends. If any of our
Southern contemporaries can say that the
duel does this, and can recall any cases
of it, we should be glad to hear of it.
It would, for one thing, be an interesting ad-
dition to our knowledge of that very obscure
subject, the connection between the material
and moral nature of man. If by hitting a man
with a bullet at ten paces on tne 16th of Octo-
ber you can prove that for some years pre-
viously.hig disposition had been vicious, or that
on the iSth of April last he had told a delib-
erate lie, it is easy to see that there must be
more laws of the human mind than are de-
scribed or assumed in the ordinary manuals of
logic.

Many of the small annoyances that spoil
tempers and make life disagreeable might be
avoided by calling things by their right names.
For instance, a great amount of bad manners
and insolence passes current in all classes of
society as independence, personal pride, or so-
cial superiority. It is difficult to define real
independence of character; to tell just what
the combination of self-respsct, good judg-
ment, and mental strength is which makes it;
but it is easy enough to tell what it is not.
When a cook boils the mutton she was told
to i oast she is disobedient, uot independeut.
When a writer revenges his personal slights in
a newspaper, or gratifies dislike of his neigh-
bor by false imputation of motives, he plays
the part of a coward, and has no courage in
him. When a passenger stretches his legs
across a horse-car, or sits sidewise with his feet
in his neighbor's way, aud looks like
thunder-cloud at any one who
stumbles over him, he is simply
nuisance and intensely disagreeable.
The false notion that work for an employer
is incompatible with independence and ser-
vice incompatible with pride, have mado im-
measurable mischief in the world. It is evi-
dent that the old-fashioned doctrines of hu-
manity and self-sacrifice are of little account
among men, excepting as pleasant theories to
be preached from the pulpit and moralized
about in conference meetings. " In honor pre-
ferring one another," "ministering instead of
being ministered unto," are not the ordinary
rules of life. Yet everybody is bound to some
kind of service; everybody is dependent upon
his fellows; the veriest recluse must have food,
clothes, aud a shelter; and if he can make these
himself he is still dependent upon the courtesy
of his liQighbor to let him alone. It is impossi-
ble to be wholly independent, and the attempt
might as well be abandoned. But it is possible
to be reasonable; that is within the reach of
every one. Sinecures and perquisites are sweet
to the faithless and lazy oE both sexes and all
classes, from politicians and the hangers-on of
parties all along the line to ignorant cooks aud
over-dressed waiters—they are all alike unde-
serving the name of servant, public or private,
and they should be called, as they are, shirks
and sponges.
Here one is inclined to pause and ask at what
point in the social scale does the word servant
become objectionable ? A public servant is
proud of the title; and when a man calls him-
self a servant of the people he assumes a title
that is finer to the common ear than that of a
servant of God. To be a servant of the church
is the ambition of brilliant and learned men;
to serve at the altar means something better
than to officiate there. The measure of pro-
fessional aud scientific reputation is the ser-
vice done. The expression of the most grace-
ful courtesv is, "Command me—how can I

Popular Strawberries.
ITo The Newg.1
Moorestown, N. j., October 20, 1881.—
Though there are many varieties of strawber-
ries that are especially adapted to the soils of
the North, yet there are also many kinds that
succeed finely in both sections of the country.
A strawberry plant, to be adapted to South-
ern culture, must be capable of resisting se-
vere and protracted drouths and to have
foliage of sufficient vigor to withstand a very
hot sun. There are a number of new varieties
that seem to combine these qualities, and,
though they ha\e not yet been thoroughly
tested throughout the Southern States,
still from their habits of growth and from the
splendid way in which they have stood the
drouth here I feel pretty confident that they
will also prove favorites at the South. The.
fruit of some of them had attracted unusual
attention at the horticultural exhibitions this
summer, while that of other sorts has interested
more especially those who grow fruit for mar-
ket. The following varieties are the straw be |
ries that I have reierred to above as promisn g
to be especially valuable for Southern culture:
Manchester—This is certainly a remarkable
strawberry. It is a new variety to the world
at large, and yet it has been carefully tested
for seven years on a private fruit farm, and
each year has been growing in favor with
those who have had an opportunity for in-
specting the fruit. The Manchester will, I
think, prove a decided favorite at the South
with those who have sandy soils, that are so
light that weeds do not thrive well upon them.
Another very valuable point is that the ber-
ries are very firm and stand shipment finely,
and usually keep their color so well that they
can be kept oil sale a day or two longer after
being picked than can most strawberries. The
fruit is of good size, and ripens from medium
to late in the season.
Mount Vernon—Though this variety is not
sufficiently firm to ship long distances, yet the
fruit is so luscious and of suck a brilliant scar-
let color as to make it a great favorite for
home use or near markets. The berries are of
large size and average large. Their uniform
size and brilliant color make them sell well in
market, one-third of an acre yielding over |600
worth of berries. The fruit ripens moderately
late, making it possible to extend the season a
week or two longer than would be the case if
a
ut
them. All poctoffices which do a reasonably
fair share of money-order business have the
gam. trouble to contend with, but son^e day
or other Congress may definitely settle postal
responsibility in the matter."

Bidwell—This is proving very popular.
The
plants are exceedingly productive, the fruit at

sometimes being produced to the extent of as
many bushels to tbe acre as the far-famed
Crescent. It is a fine eating berry, and also a
good shipping berry. The plants are very
vigorous growers, and, what should be care-
fully noted, have stood the drouth here better
than almost any other strawberry, scarcely a
leaf having wilted or burned. It is well worthy
of trial.
Orient should succeed in places where the

serve you?° The phrase of formal respect is
"your" obedient servant." And yet, unac-
countably, the very service that friends do
for each other, that the members of a family
give in common, if they happen to be
poor in money, is absurdly con-
sidered disgraceful, a personal dis-
honor, when performed for wages. The
dishonor can not come in with the pay, for the
President is paid, and so are legislators, honor
able and dishonorable. Ministers are paid,
and doctors, and scientists. The fact is that
heads are so full of nonsense about these things
that it is hard to get at the sound reason which
would set them right. Everybody—for tho
exceptions are so few that it is sate to say
everybody—must have relations with other hu-
man beings, his equals, his superiors; if he
lives he must do something, and what he does
must serve or harm himself and other people.
To be absolutely independent and free from
service, we repeat, is granted to no one; and
even the choice of service and of fellow-work-
ers is very much limited. To talk of freedom
is in great part sheer boasting. We are bora
in harness; and tne best we can do is to keep
the harness from chafing, and to make it
help.
Having tried to find out what they can do
and what they want others to do for them, let
people give the faithfulness they require, and
let us stop calling insolence spirit, rudeness in-
dependence, noisy self-assertion manliness, con-
ceit pride, and boorishness dignity. Give
credit for good work, whether it is eulogy or
a pudding, and confess that success is doing
well that which one undertakes. Duties as
well as rights are to be considered; and it can
do no harm to use as common every-day sense
just a little of that humility, just a trifle of
that confession of weakness and blundering,
which is made so unconditionally and on so
large a scale on Sundays. There would be
smoother days and less careworn faces in re
turn for it. All this has nothing to do with
social equality, or an equal division of proper
ty; both are as impossible as individual inde-
pendence is. But decent manners ought to
make all intercourse agreeable; and decent
manners will never prevail while bad ones are
baptized in all classes by false and misleading
namrts.

Society Without Religion*
[St. Louis Republican.!
There is something attractive and fascinat-
ing, if not cunning, in the dashing way in
which Ingersoll rejoins to the closer and more
compact argument of Judge Black on the
right of existence of Christianity, and in the
incomparable irreverence and audacity with
which the conspicuous infidel not only ban-
ishes Christianity to the limbo of myths, but,
in his own estimation at least, knocks the
cropping from beneath ail faiths and all re-
ligion. The daring controversialist has
emerged from the condition in which blas^
pbemy holds power over men's minds. Indeed,
in his opinion, there is no such thing as blas-
phemy. since there is no being to be
blasphemed, and, therefore, the word
might as well be blotted out from our
dictionaries, along with the whole system
of words, not only in our language, but in all
the languages of earth, which, according to
Bob Ingersoll, of Illinois, represent things that
are not. No Supreme Being, no hereafter, no
faith, no prayer, no worship, no good, no evil,
no right, no wrong, no law of nature, no
authority, no truth, no error—this category of
negations is Mr. IugersolTs, and he proclaims
at $500 a night, paid in advance, with a
splendor of audacity and a power of diction
hat make his lectures and essays readable, if
nothing more. Ingersoll's sum and substance
of things is short enough: "The universe, ac-
cording to my idea, is, always was, and for-
ever will be." He affects to get over the theory
that a universe implies a maker, by asserting
that this Maker implies a maker also. But
ri^ht here, perhaps, is the fatai flaw in the In-
gersoll logic. Admitting the imposssibility of ac-
counting for the existence of the Supreme
Being recognized in all faiths an 1 all human
systems, it does not follow that a maker im-
plies a precedent maker, and that maker a
progenitor, and so on interminably. The logic
of a universal human instinct or consciousness
refuses, and always has refused, to assent to
any such despairing theory. This instinct de-
mands a resting place. It recognizes a Supreme
Being behind the universe, and there it stops.
It refuses to go further. It not only will not,
but it can not logically demand, nor even con-
ceive, that behind the Supreme Being who
made the universe stands a precedent maker.
The idea makes a strain on the human faculties
that would snap them asunder, and precepitate
society into anarchy.
One of the most grotesque of Ingersoll's as-
sertions is that the Jehovah of the Bible vio-
lates His own laws—that while the ten com-
mandments are unobjectionable, " their sup-
posed author violated nearly every one of
them." It is strange that he should forget that
these laws were not made for the Maker, but
for men; that while mankind are subject to
these laws, the Maker is above them; and that
when the Almighty kills, in the execution of
his laws, it is as silly to call it murder as it
would be to charge the State with violating its
laws when it imprisons, fines and executes
criminals.
But, after all, perhaps the most effective
answer to Ingersoll is a short and simple ques-
tion: Do he and those who believe as he be-
lieves and talk as be talks, really desire to suc-
ceed in the effort they are making? His cru-
sade against religion may do well enough as a
means of earning $500 a nignt, but does he, in
truth, want to see Christianity overthrown?
Would he abolish religion from the world if
he could? Christianity is the foundation of
what we call civilization, and religion of some
kind the foundation of all forms of what we
call societv. It is so interwoven with the state,
the family, the political, legal and social
systems; it is so imbedded in all our institu-
tions and incorporated in all our organizations
that it is impossible to conceive of society
without it. To eliminate it would leave man-
kind without a recognized authority, without
a starting-point for law, and, therefore, with-
out rational law; without the ideas of justice,
right,,truth reverence, obedience, virtue, and
without the sense of responsibility. In snort,
it would unchain the passions of men, and
leave them the absorute liberty to do as the^
please. This may do to leccure about, but
common-sense, even among the most deter-
mined agnostics, knows well enough that it
would not do to put in practice.

Unclaimed Money Orders.
[New York World.!
"Is it true," inquired a reporter of Post-
master Pearson ye3terday, 44 that there are
nearly $2,000,003 in the United States sub-
treasury, representing accumulations from
unpaid money orders for several years back*"
Yes," replied the Postmaster, i4I suppose
that in round numbers they hold about chat
amount, belonging to careless persons whom it
is impossible for us to find."
What do you propose to do with this
money, Mr. Pearson?"
'* Congress will probably be asked at it3next
session to make some disposition of it."
44 Why was this not done heretofore?"
"Wei1, there is no legal limitation to the
time when funds of this character may be ac-
counted for. The postmaster can not tell when
the parties to a money order may correct fatal
mistakes in the order and demand their money.
You know we must always be prepared to pay
on legal demand."
" Can you give me a general idea of the way
in which such a large, unclaimed accumulation
of money comes about?"
Primarily it is due to a lack of knowledge
concerning the operations ot the law under
which the money order system is organized.
Then a great many people"who understand the
provisions of this law are habitually careless
and overlook some of the necessary" details in
making out the order. For instance, they may-
get the name of the payee wrong, or they may
neglect to notify him by mail. Then, again,
the person to whom the money, is
sent may be a traveling man, " who
has left the town where the order is pay-
able and who may never return there again.
No legal provision has been made for adver-
tising for these people. The individual amounts
wliich go to make up the large sum of unpaid
money orders in this office are, generally
speaking, small, and have, no doubt, long been
forgotten by the persons who sent them, as
well as by the persons who were to receive
