Mrs. Judge Thomas gave an interesting talk on "Border Minstrelsy." Mrs. Harrison introduced as current topic the naval review at Hampten Roads and described tb great event in a graphic manner. A committee consisting of Mre. J. L. Campbell, Miss Mary Hovey and Miss Evangeline Binford were ap pointed to draft a memorial on the death of Miss Anna Milligun.

A BflOOKIHQ DEATH.
Prof. Harry Seaton Died Sunday Night at Harva.d UniversityRev. Alexander Gilchrist reoeived a telegram this morning from Cambridge, Mass., which announoed that Prof. Harry Seaton died at 10 o'clock Sunday night of typhilitis. The duration of his illness was but a few days and the operation which was performed upon him last Thursday gave evidence at first of being successful and the young man's recovery was confidently expected by the attending physician. Yesterday, however, a change for the worse ooourred, and he died with both his father and mother &t his bedside. Prof. Harry Seator. was about 21 years of age, unusually developed mentally and held a high position for one so young, being the assistant professor of botany of Harvard University. He spent Jhis early school days in this city, and then receiyed advance learning at Wabash College, where he graduated two or three years ago. Since then he has made botany a special study and traveled extensively in the southern States and Mexico, collecting some rare and fine specimens. He soon became to be regarded as one of the beet botanists in the State, and was last summer offered the assistant professorship of Harvard, whither he went and entered upon his duties last fall. The bright future that lay before him has suddenly been cut short, and the hundreds of friends both in Bichmond and other towns through out the State are grief-stricken at his death.
This is the third son Mr. and Mrs. Seaton have lost within a few years, and the second within three months.— Richmond Item.
The news of the death of Harry Seaton comes to this city in the nature of a profound shock. He was four years here as a student of Wabash college, graduating with honor in the class of 90. The next year he remained as the assistant of Dr. Coulter, acoompanyin him to Bloomington, where he spent last year. He spent commencement here and left at onee for Harvard, where he spent the summer. In September he was elected curator of the great Harvard Herbarium, and occupied that position at the time of his death. Sum before last he was the Government's official botanist on the expedition to the Mexican mountains and his work there commanded national attention in scientific circles. It is safe to say that no young man in the country hud brighter or more fluttering pros poets.Ilia genius was not of an ordinary nature and he ocoupied a place in hie chosen specialty whioh was enviable indeed. He was but 25 years old but had ulreadv made a magnificent record and was rising rapidly. He occupied, what Dr. Coulter states, is the finest opening in the country for a young scientist and was held in high esteem by the faculty and students of Harvnrd. Mr. Seaton's residence in Crawfordsville was a most pleasant one for him and einoe leaving he has been a frequent visitor here. In the college he led in class room work and was one of the best athletes in college as well. He was a great favorite in society and his oharm of manner and magnificent bearing made him extremely popular. He was a brilliant young man, a delightful companion and a true friend, a fitting one for respect, admiration and love.
A private note to one of the editors of this paper from Bev. Alexander Gilchrist at Bichmond, reoeived this afternoon, states that he was taken suddenly and critically ill a tew days before his death, and on last Wednesday an operation was performed for removal of the vermiform appendix, the last and only hope of saving his life. It- ^bp. however, not successful and the end .came on Sunday night at 10 o'olock. His parents left for Cambridge on receipt of the telegram announcing his illness and reached there last Thursday night. They will leave with the body Taesday evening and will arrive at Bichmond Wednesday night, the 3rd. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon.
Henry in the Wet Water Again. Henry Warren, the polite and complished janitor of the Lotus club, is again besieged by his enemies. It will be remembered that some months ago Henry was arrested for trifling with the affeotions' of Eliza McCrea to whose mother Henry was engaged to be married and under whose sheltering roof he still finds lodgment occasionally. Eliza reoeived from Henry several notes amounting to $150 which Henry has always refused to pay. Yesterday Hanna & Hanna dismissed the suite pending against the hilarious old gentleand now Thomas & Whittington have appeared against him. Henry's bubbling joy has given place to the salt water of grief/
ferry Martin is Married.
The rumor of the marriage of Perry T. Martin, which was published in THE JOUUNAXJ yesterday, has been confirmed. Perry was married to Miss Mary Krug, daughter of Augustus Krug, of near Hillsboro,
Bome
time ago, but kept the
matter perfectly secret until finally it leaked out, as such things do. Matrimonial joy, like bad news, is hard to bottle, and Perry's joy blew the oork clear to the eeiling. The only thing that Perry will find bard to explain will be his smiling BO tropioally on Crawfordsville girls since he became a Benedict.

At Darlington there waa no eleotion, the Republican officials holding over by general consent.
Mrs. Turner Wants Blood.
Mrs. Sidney K. Turner stands by her suit for $10,000 against Charley Annabel. It will be remembered that Hanna & Hanna brought suit against Annabel in her name for the sum mentioned, charging that Annabel had drugged' her and taken improper liberties. Col. J. R. Courtney, Annabel's attorney, got a written statement from her deolaring that her husband had brought the suit without her ooneent or knowledge and that she wholly disclaimed it. Now she comes into court, however, and states that she did not understand Courtney and his paper whioh she signed. She declares that Hanna & Hanna brought the suit with her ooneent and that the charges against Annabel are true. She wants the suit vigorously prosecuted.
RELIGIOUS DANCINQ.
A* the EarUeat Form of Art, It la Entitled to Respect. "It may create some surprise that we regard the dance as the earliest form of art, or even that we allow it any place among the fine arts," writes President David J. Hill In Popular Science Monthly.
To many It will seem a kind of saorilege to combine in the same category, however broad, such extremes as a dancing savage and a painting of the last judgment and, if the connection must be made, some would choose to make it along other lines than those of art. But, in truth, the'dance supplies us with the key, so to speak, of the development of the fine arts. For light upon the problems of human culture we naturally appeal to the anthropologist. 'Dancing,' says Tylor, 'may seem to us moderns a frivolous amusement but in the infancy of civilization it was full of passionate and solemn meaning. Savages and barbarians dance their joy and sorrow, their love and rage, even their magic and religion. The forest Indians of Brazil, whose sluggish temper few other excitements can stir, rouse themselves at their moonlight gatherings, when, rattle in hand, they stamp in one-two-three time round the great earthern pot of intoxicating kawi liquor or men and women dance a rude courting dance, advancing In lines with a kind ot primitive polka step or the ferocious war dance performed by Mined warriors in paint, marching in ranks hither and thither with a growling chant terrific to hear.' "Tylor proceeds to describe the dance of the Australians and the buffalo dance of the Mandan Indians, who, wearing' masks to mark their impersonations, with rude songs and pantomimic gestures act out the incidents of an imaginary hunt. And then he adds: 'All this explains how, in ancient religion, dancing came to be one of the chief acts of worship. Religious processions went with song and dance to the Egyptian temples, and
Plato said that all dancing ought to be thus an act of religion.'"
A Modern Golgotha.
It is reported that near Currizo Springs, Tex., an oval-topped mound covered with petrified human skulls has been discovered. The mound is circular in form, about one 'hundred feet high, and on one side is joined to a short range of hills of about the same height. On the summit, and for some distance down the sloping side, it is covered with what appear to be smooth, spherical bones, which upon examination prove to be human skulls distorted into grotesque shapes. It is further stated, says the Boston Budget, that by removing the loose dirt and Band from the orifices of the face the unmistakable human countenance is revealed. Bones of other classes are also said to be found there, and from all appearanoes the whole mound Is formed of human skulls.
One Merit of Epidemics.
A well-known practitioner of medicine is quoted by the New York Sun as saying: "Probably you have noticed the tendency of epidemic diseases to run themselves out even in districts where no precautionary measures are taken. It has been shown in the history of every great plague—the 'black death,' cholera and the rest, and now it is illustrated in the grip. We have the grip with us again, as you know, and there have been a few fatal cases of it but it Is nothing to what it was in its first and second seasons. Then, you remember, there were instances where it was fatal within twenty-four hours, and its effects were more severe and more lasting than they have been since. This is regular grip weather, yet the grip is slowly dvlng out. Diseases die as well as the people who have them."
E IS O E O A E I A
fhe Co«t of Colombo*' First Voyage Estimated to llave Beeo About W7.SOO.
A German geographer, Prof. Ruge, has busied himself in attempting to an•wer the interesting question what it sost to discover America. The records ot the cost of the caravels themselves io not seem to be extant, but the archives of Palos show what was the amount paid for the actual expenses of the voyage. It foots up 1,140,000 maravedis, but what was the purchasing power of the maravedi at the end of the fifteenth century, or how it can be translated Into modern terms, seems much more difficult than in respect to the medieval coinage of some other countries than Spain.
The researches of the German professor lead him to the conclusion, however, that the first voyage cost, as nearly as possible, ST,BOO. The items of this expenditure are not less curious than the extreme modesty of the aggregate. The yearly pay of the "admiral" WM $880 of the captains, #190 each of the pilots, from 8183.80 to 1108.60, and of a surgeon, but $88.88. The ship's surgeon was then, apparently, aa he sometimes is now, a medical student who was more eager for adventure than for profit. As for the sailors, their monthly allowance was something less than $3.80.
Considering the revenue to Spain itself within the two centuries that followed the discovery in gold and silver alone, the return from the outlay upon Columbus' expedition makes that outlay perhaps the most profitable commercial operation in the history of the world, saj'B the New York Times. The voyage Itself will be admitted to have been astonshingly cheap. It in to be hoped that an accurate account has been kept and will be published of the expenses of the voyage which has just been made by the reproduced caravels, so that a parallel may be drawn In this respect also. Even from the fifteenth centur}' point of view it is evident that the voyage of Columbus was too small an affair to attract the attention of the politicians. There was nothing in it for them. In fact, the outfitting of the expedition that discovered America was an undertaking so petty that it would not now attract the cupidity of a "district leader."
A HOLIDAY-LOVING PEOPLE.
The Colonists of New Zealand Prefer to Take Life Rather Easily.
The colonists of New Zealand area holiday-making people, says Pearson's Weekly. There is almost an average of one recognized holiday to a month, and it Is a common practice for all working people to take two or more days at Christmas, the New Year and Easter, so as to malce an unbroken playtime of three or four days, incl uding Sunday. Then the great mass of the people give themselves up to amusement. Horse races, athletic sports, boat races and excursions are carried on In every available spot, and are attended by large and well-behaved crowds. The commonest of all holiday amusements, however, is the picnic. The several trades, sects and societies have picnics of their own, to which the public are cordially welcome on the payment of a small sum toward the expense of the entertainment. It is amusing to the railway traveler to note, as he passes through some pleasant countryside, not one or two, but perhaps fifty different picnics in full swing, eaoh numbering scores or hundreds of guests. It has been said with much more truth than is usually to be found in epigrams of this kind that "in New Zealand people are like cattle. You need only to turn a number of them into a pasture and leave them alone and they will bo perfectly happy." On a warm and tempting New Year's day an enterprising burglar might walk through a New Zealand city end help himself, undisturbed, to the contents of mbst of the houses. Dwellings and streets are alike deserted, and the casual sojourner who does not understand the ways of the place seeks in vain for some rfne to speak to. By six or seven o'clock in toe evening the streets are lively with returning crowds.

Wonderful Progress Manifested the Decade Just Closed. In a review of the progress of the decade just ended as shown in the last census R. II. Edmonds says in the Engineering Magazine:
Railroad construction progressed rapidly during the decade. It is difficult to realize that whereas we now have 170,600 miles in operation we had only 98,300 miles In 1880. At the end of 1890 wo had 160,000 miles—a gain of 78,800 during the decade, or about 80 per oent. Thirty leading roads, whioh operated 81,500 miles of track in 1880 and hauled 96,000,000 tons of freight, in 1890 operated 76,400 miles and hauled 962,900,000 tons
The number ot passengers carried by these roads increased from 58,400,000 to 183,000,000. The number of locomotives on all the roads in the United States increased from 17,900 in 1880 to 83,300 in 1890, and the number of passenger, freight and baggage cars from 656,0O0 to 1,062,000. The capital invested in railroads as represented by bonds and capital stock was a little less than $5,000,000,000 in 1880 and a little less than 810,000,000,000 in 1800.

to be caused by dew drops and rain drops, that act as burning glasses when the sun shines through them on the green tobacco leaf. I3e that as it may, the florists declarc that palms are often burned by knobs and corrugations in the glass roofs of their greenhouses, as those irregularities tend to focus the sun's rays. The effect of this strong heat on the palm leaf—which is as sensitive to heat as it Is to cold—is to cause a rusty brown spot to appear on the green. Sometimes the apparent motion of the sun, In passing westward, will trace a line of Bcorch across the leaf. Other plants are less susceptible to sun rays
