DEATH OF M. RENAN. The Distinguished Author nnd Philologist Dies Suddenly ut Paris. Joseph Krnest Kenan, the distinguished philologist and author, whose serious Illness has boon announced, died ut an early hour Sunday, after enduring intense suffering. The ailment which resulted in M. Renan’s death was contracted on Ui* Tuesday previous. On that day he went out driving and caught a severe cold, which speedily developed Into congestion of the lungs. Four hours before death M. Renan turned to his wife and said; "Why are you so sad?” “Because I see you soITer," she replied, ‘‘flocalm and resigned,” he responded “Wo undergo the laws of that natnr* whereof we are a manifestation. Wi perish; we disappear; but heaven and earth remain, and the march of time goes on forever." Hardly any Frenchman of the present day had more influence on private and public opluion In regard to theological subjects than Joseph Ernest Renan. Although ranked, and justly, as a freethinker, he was so different from most ol his class, particularly In France, that many of thorn wore Impatient with and even resentful towards him on account ol a moderation which well deserved to be called gentleness both of matter and manner. Kenan was as amiable a politician as h* was philosopher. Ills opinions wore definite, distinct, and most sincerely cherished; but ho was always tranquil and noticeably considerate of others. He bad abundance of solf-dlsclplinc, and to this, practiced since boyhood, his serenity was largely owing. His look, manner and behavior were sacerdotal, and, naturally enough, because ho was educated for the priesthood, and would have been a priest hut for his profound learning, logical mind and irrepressible spirit of Inquiry. DISCOVERIES IN GREENLAND. Remains of Esquimaus Habitations Found in the Icy North by Daulsh Explorers. — The schooners Babson and Laura arrived at Gloucester, Mass.. Sunday, from Iceland, each bringing .4),030 pounds ol halibut. August Johnson, a member ol the crow of the Babson, was lost overboard on the homeward passage. The Danish bark Hogla, that had been exploring on the coast of Greenland, had arrived at Dyorford. Her commander reports that the Hogla was lifleen month* on the coast of Greenland, most of the time being imprisoned In ice; one of the crow died. Explorations o 1 considerable importance wore made. The party found the remains of Esquimaux habitations, with dishes made of stone, and other articles, the use of which wa» unknown, all of which were forwarded to the Danish government. The commander of the Hogla explored the Island of Jan. mayor. In,latitude71 deg. north, longitude 7 dog. west, water being found in that locality. The party dredged In 475 fathoms of water, bringing up sediment which contained sucli animal vegetation as soa anemone, together with pebbles similar to iron ore. The officers, crew and scientist on board were all well and hopeful of obtaining much valuable information. Pretty table mats on which to set hot dishes may he made of chamois skin fastened to a stiff piece of paste- ! board. Cut the skin round or oval | and scallop or pink the edges. Cut a pasteboard the same shape, only enough smaller so that the scallops of the chamois skin will project and cover the pasteboard. Fasten the chamois skin to the pasteboard. It may be lettered or etened with indelible ink. For two years the hydrographic has been trying to learn something of the characteristics of the Atlantic ocean as a great moving body of water by means of bottles. As a result it has been ascertained that the whole Atlantic is slowly circulating round and round like an enormous pool. We heard a woman say recently that it always flatters a man to call him Colonel. Many men who cannot be managed in any other way can be managed if you call them Colonel.
