THE PROFESSOR'S BUTTERFLY.

Oulte the mcst remarkable feature of Jin April meeting of the Entomological society in 1SS was the production, by Prof. Tare hell, 1 Z.1 S.. F. L,. S., one of the oldest and most enthusiastic members, of the society, of a new and remarkable specie of "Achraea," hitherto quite tinknown to science. The professor was radiant and suifued with happiness. He !iad long be on an ardent collector in England find Europe, but only recently had lje turned his f-oUteps to the far-off lands south of the equator. It had been the dream of his life. And now, having lately resigned his chair at Cambridge, at the agi" of sixty, at his" first essay In Cape Colony, a region fairly well known t entomologists, he had gratified his heart's desire, and discovered a species. The new butterfly, which, it appeared from a paper read by the professor, had teen found in some numbers, but within a very limited area a mere speck of country was shown in a carefully constructed case. There were sixteen 5peclmena; and it was set .lt d that the butterfly was to be known to science as "Achraea Parchelli," thus perpetuating the professor and his discovery to the ages yet untoin. The one particularity which marked the insect out from among Its fellows v.-as very striking. I 'ion the tipper side of the hind wings, right in the center, there appeared a complete triangular .space of silver, evenly bordered by circular Mack markings. This peculiarity, which was shared by male and female alike, was very beautiful and very marked; and the enthusiastic collectors gathered at the soiiety's meeting were, as the b x of specimens was passed from hand to hand, ail delighted with the new treasure. As for the professor himself. no er, e.e.p.", perhaps, in that bupreiae nui-ient when he had discovered within h.s net this ik-w wonder, had die exp.-n-nced such a glow of rapture and cf triam; h. Among the fellows f the s ciety met this evening sat Horace Mayb aid, a gi.od-lonkiiig y.miu mm of six and twenty, wh".

During th-1 r-t of that summer Horace was pretty much occupied, yet hi. niomry let o'ait its irrip of the profes.-wir and his new butterfly. He had upon his writtalle the colored riate from a Mentiiie ni.iR.i-iine. vherecipon was depicted that rare specks ; ami as he retresneil his with it now and "gdn, he determined more than ever to possess himself of specimens of the 01 isrinal. As far as possible he l:ept a sharp eye on the professor's movements until the middle of Septtni.er, when, happening 'to return to town from a few days" shooting, he ran across; ü! old g-jn tinman in Piccadilly. "Well, profess r." sail Horace genially, "how goes the world with you? I suppose you will be leaving England for the rape again presently?" "Y "-s," retiirra-d the id gentleman, who seemed in exeeiler.t spirits; "I expe:t tobe galling early in October. I want to have a fortnight or more in Cape Town at the museum there. Aftr that. I propose proceeding to my old hun ting-ground of last year." 'Where you discovered the nev: Aehraoa ?" in;c-! pusd Horace. "Kxaetly," rejoined the old gentleman. "I rp.ite envy you, professor," went on Horace. "I ;m In two minds about isitln? South Africa mys!f this winter The Orange river country hasn't been half ransacked yet. or Kaffraria either, for that matter. I haven't settled my p'vr..-; b t T may have a turn B.t ore cr the ther." Now. Kaffraria lies not very far to the east of the professor's own collecting ground, that Facred spC't which held Jiis great secret jet inviolate. The old pentleman's fa?? changed pervepflbly; a Ftlffer lii.e or two appeared about his mouth; he looked with some suspicion Int) II roce's eyes, and said, rather ehortly: "Ah, well! I am told tha Orange river is an excellent and untried region. Uut. emomoinglcally. South Africa, upon the whole, is poor. My visits there are ma.ii.ly for health and change. But I must be getting on; I have much to do. Gool-byc, Mr. May bold, good-bye!" The professor passed on down St. 3amr's-st. and Horace sauntered along Piccadilly with a smile upon his face. The old gentleman had imparted something of his movements. Should he follow thm up? Yes; he must have that 'Achraea Parchelli" somehow. He would follow to the eastern province in November. It might be a trifle like poaching: but, after all, the world is not a fcjuLterily preserve fr the one or two lucky ones. It lies cpn to every entornologist. And the o!d man had been po confoundedly close anil secret. It would serve him right to discover hi3 facred treasure, to make plain his mystery. After watching the weekly passenger list in South Africa for some time Horace May bold n :e 1 with interest that Prof. Parchell had sailed for Cape Town fry a Donald Currie steamer in the first week of October. That fact ascertained, fia at once secured a berth in a deck rabln of the Norham Castle for the first week in November. The chase had began, and already Horace felt a keen and amusing sense' of adventure adventure In little springing within him. After Madeira, when all had f unj their sea-legs, and the warm weather and smooth ocean appeared, things became very pleasant. Horace was not a man who quickly "became intimate or much attached to people; but, almost insensibly, upon this voyage fie found himeelf developing a strong friendship, almost an intimacy, with two ladies; one, airs. Stacfr, a pleasant, comely, middleaged woman, perhaps nearer fifty tham forty; the other. Mis.s Vanning, young, frood -looking, and extremely attractive. The two ladies, who were connected, if

not relations, were traveling to - Port Elizabeth to stay with friends in that part of the colony where, exactly, was never quite made clear. Horace found them refined, well-bred, charming women, -having many thing in common with him; and the trio in a day or two's time got on swimmingly together. By the time the line was reacned, the vision of Rose Vanning, with her fair, wavy brown hair, good gray eye3. fresh complexion, and open, yet slightly restrained manner, was forever before the mental ken of Horace Maybold. Here, indeed, he told himself, was the typical English girl he had so often set before his mind; fresh, tallish, full of health, alert, vigorous in mind and body, yet a thorough and a ierfect woman. On many a warm tropical evening, us they sat together on deck, while the big ship drove her way through the oil-like ocean, sending shoals of flying-fish scudding to right and left of her, the two chatted together, and day by day their intimacy quickened. It was clear to Horace, and it began, too, to dawn upon Mrs. , Stacer, that Rose Vanning found a more than ordinary pleasure in his presence. Ky the time they were within a day of Cape Town, Horace had more than half made up his mind. He had gently opened the trenohea with Mr. Stacer, who had met him almost halfway, and had obtained permission to call upon them in London at a house north of Hyde park, where they were living. At present, they knew so little of him and his people, that he felt It would be unfair to push matters further. But he had mentioned Mrs. Stacer's invitation to Rose Vanning. "I hope. Miss Vanning." he said, "you won't quite have forgotten me when I come to see you let me see about next CUay. It's a very long way off, isn't it? And people nd things change so in these times." lie looked a little anxiously at the girl as he spoke; what he saw reassured him a good deal. "If you haven't forgotten us. (Mr. MayW.d." she said, a pretty flush rising as she ppoke, "I'm quite sure we shall remember and be glad to see you We've had such good times together, and I hope you'll come and see us soon. We shall be home In April at latest, and we shall have, no doubt, heaps of adventures to compare." At Cape Town, Horace, after many inquiries, had half settled upon a journey along the Orange river. He had more than one reason for this. Perhaps Rose Vanning'.- ktfpaence had sharpened his moral sense? who knows? At any rate, he had lwgun to think It was playing It rather low down upon the professor to follow him up and proaeh his preserves. 1'e could do the Orange river this season, and wait another vear for the "Achraea Parchelli" ; by that time, the old gentleman would probably have had his fill, and would not mind imparting the secret, if properly approach?d. And ?i the Orange river was decided upon, and in three or four days he was to Start, t 'pon the foil awing evening, however, Something happened to alter thes? plans. Half un hour before dinner, as ne vrns sitting on the pleasant stoep (veranda) of the International hotel, enjoying a cigarette, a man whose face he seemed t know came up to him nn;l in-rtantly claimed anpnln tanre. "You remember me, surely, MayboM?" he said. "I was at Marlborough with you in the same form for three terms." Og'ourse Horace remembered him; and th- Pit at dinner together and had a long yarn far into the night. The up-h t of this meeting was that nothing would satisfy John Marley "Johnny," he was always called but Horace should go round by sea with him to Port Klizabeth. and stop a few weeks at his farm, same little way up tlr country from that place. When he was tired of that, he could go on by rail to Cradoek, and complete his program on the Orang? river. "If you want butterflies, my boy," said Johnny in his hearty way, "you shall have lots at my place tons of them after rnins; and we'll have some rattling good shooting a.s well. You can always run about after 'bugs' you know." So. next day but one, Horace, little loath, was hauled by his friend down tc the docks again, and thence round to Port Klizabeth by steamer. From Port Klizabeth they proceeded, partly by rail, partly by Cape cart and horses, in a northeasterly direction, until at length, after the bist part of a day's journey through some witd and most beautiful scenery, they drove up late ir the evening to a long, low, comfortable farmhouse, shaded by a big veranda, where they were met and welcomed by, Marley's wife and three sturdy children. After allowing his friend a day'3 rest, to unpack h!s kit and ?et out his gunnery and collecting boxes, Johnny plunged him into a vortex of sport and hard work. A fortnight had vanished ere Horace could cry off. He had enjoyed it aJl immensely; but he really must get on with the butterflies, especially if he meant to go north to the Orange river. Marley pretended ta grumble a little at his friend's desertion of buck-shooting for butterfly-collecting; but he quicklv placed at his disposal a sharp Hottentot boy. Jacobus by name, who knew every nook and corner of that vast countryside, and barring a little laziness, natural to Hottentot blood, prove.! a perfect (treasure to the entomologist. The weather was perfection. Some fine showers had faüen. vegetation had suddenly started into life, and the flowers were everywhere atdaz. The bush was In its glory. Amid all this regeneration of nature, butterflies and inserts were extremely abundant. Horace had a great time of it. and day after day added largely to his collection. One mrning. flitting about here and there, he noticed a butterfly that seemed new to him. He quickly had a specimen within his net. and. to his intense satisfaction, found it, as' he had suspected, a new species. It belonged to the genus "Eurema" which contains but few species and eomewhat resembled "Eurema schoenela" (Trimen). a handsome dark-brown and yellow butterfly, wfrh tailed hind wings, put Horace's new capture was widely different In this respect; the whole of the under surface of the wings was suffused with a strong roseate pink, which mingled here and there with the brown, sometimes darker, sometimes lighter in, Its liue. Here ,was a thrilling discovery a discovery which, as Horace laughingly said to himself, would make old Parchell "sit up" at their society's meeting next spring. Tlorace captured eight more fpocimensJ the butterfly was not too plentiful and then made for home In an ecstasy of delight. A few days after this memorable event he set off with Jacobus for a farm house thirty miles away, to the owner of which an English Afrikander Marley had given him an Introduction. As .they passed near the kloof where the new butterfly had been discovered, which lay about half-way, Horace off-saddled for an hour, and picked up half-a-dozen more specimens of the new "Eurema." These he placed with the utmost care in his collecting-box. At noon they saddled up and rode on again. Toward 3 o'clock they emerged from the hills upon a shallow, open, grassy valley, girt about by Duso mountain scenery. This small valley was ablaze with flowers, and butterflies were very abundant. Getting Jacobus to lend his horse quietly after him. Horace wandered hither and thither among the grass and flowers, every now and again sweeping up 'some butterfly that took his fancy Suddenly, as he opened his net to secure a new capture, he uttered an exclamation of intense surprise. "Py all that's entomological!" he cried, looking up with a comical expression at the atolid and uninterested Hottentot boy; "I've done It, I've done it: I've hit upon the old professor's new butterfly!" No man could well be more pleased with 'himself than Horace Maybold at that moment. In ten minutes he had within his box seven or eight more specimens, for the butterfly the wonderful, the undiscoverable "Achraea Parchelli" seamed to be fairly plentiful. "How far are we off Mr. Gunton's place now. Jacobus?" asked Horace. "Nie var, nie baas" (Not so far, mas

ter), replied the boy In his Dutch patois. " 'liout one mile, I tlnk. See, dar kom another baaa!" Horace shaded his eyes and looked. About one hundred and fifty yards off there appeared above the tall grass a tall figure remarkable for a huge white helmet, loose light coat, and pink face and blue spectacles. A green butterfly net was borne upon the figure's shoulder. Horace knew in a moment whose was that quaint figure. He gave a soft whistle to himself. It was the professor. The old gentleman oame stright on, and, presently, seeing within fifty yards, strange people before him .walked up. He stood face to face with Horace Maybvld, amazed, aghast, and fin'.ly very angry. "Crood-morning, professor." said that young man. "Im afraid I've Stumbled by a sheer accident on your hunting ground. Iam staying with an old schoolfellow thirty miles away, and rode in this direction. I had no idea you were here." The professor was a sight to behold. Red as an enraged turkey-oock, steaming with prespiration for it was a hot afternoon almost speechless with indignation, he at last blurted into tongue: "So. sir, this is what you have been doing; stealing a march upon me; following me up secretly; defrudlng me of the prizes of my own labor and research. I could not have believed it of any member of the society. Th thing i3 more than unhandsome. It is monstrous; an utterly monstrous proceeding!" Horace attempted to explain matters again. It was useless; he migh' as well have argued with a buffalo bull at that moment. "Mr. Maybold." retorted the professor, "the coincidence of your staying in the very locality in which my discovery was made, coupled with the fact thtit you endeavored, at the last meeting of the entomological society, to extract from me the ha'bitat of this new specier,, is quite too impossible. I have nothing more to say for the present." And the irate old gentleman passed on. Horace felt excessively vexd. Vet he had done no wrong. Perhaps, when the old gentleman had come to his senses, he would listen to reason. Jacobus now led the way to the farmhouse. It lay only a mile away, and they presently rode up toward the stoop. Two ladies were sitting under the shade of the ample thatched veranda one was painting, the other reading. Horace could scarcely believe his eyes as he approached. These wore his two fellowpassengers of the Norham Castle. Mrs. Stacer and Rose Vanning the latter looking, if possible, more charming than ever. The ladies recognize 3 his in their turn, and rose with a little flutter. Horace jumped from the horse and shook hands with some warmth. "Who on earth," he said, "could have expected to meet you in there wilds? I am astonished and delighted." he added, with a glance at Rose. Explanations ensued. It seemeJ that the ladies were the sister and stepdaughter of the professor, who was a wLlower. They had been engage ! by him in a mild conspiracy not to reveal his v. ht reabcuts. so feT4 was he of his precious laitterfVlc nahitat being made Itno.vn to the world; and so, all through the voyage, no mention had been made even of his name. It was his pamicula: whim and request: and here was the my.-ttty at an end. The professor had m ved from the farm house in which he had 1 i-lged the year before, and had secured qu arte in Mr. Ounton's roomy, com' ertablc ranch. Where the ladies had join-d him. Horace, who had inwardly chafed at this unexpected turn, had now to explain his awkward ren -orrire with the professor. To his great relief, Mrs. Stacer and Rose took it much more philosophically than he could have hoped; indeed, they seemed rather amused than otherwise. "But." said Horace with a rueful fice, "the professor's in a frantic rage with me. You don't quite realize that he absolutely discredits my story, and believes I have been playing the spy all along. And upon the top of all this I have a letter to Mr. Ounton. and must sleep here somehow for the night. There's no other accommodation within twenty miles. Why. when the professor com back and finis me here, he'll go out of his mind!" Here Mrs. Stacer, good woman that she was. volunteered to put matters straight, for the night, at Ml events. She at once saw Mr. Gunton, and explained the impisse to him; and Horace was comfortably installed, away from the professor's room, in the farmer's own quarters. "Leave my brother to me." said Mrs. Stacer. as she left Horace. "I dare .say matters will come right." At 10 o'clock Mrs. Stacer came to the door. Mr. Gunton arose and went out as she entered. "H'sh." she said with moekmystery as she addressed Horace. "I think." she went on. with a comical little smile. 'the professor begins to think he has done you an injustice. Pie is amazed at our knowing you, and we have attacked him all the evening, and he Is visibly relenting." Mr3. Stacer," said Horace warmly, "I can't thank you sufficiently. I've had inspiration since I saw you. I, too, have discovered, not far from here. a rather good new butterfly a species hitherto unknown. Can't I make amends by sharing my discovery with the professor? I've got specimens here in my box. and there are plenty in a kloof fifteen miles away." "Why, of course." answered Mrs. Stacer. "It's the very thing. Your new butterfly will turn the scale. I'll go and tell my brother you have a matter of importance to communicate, and wish to make further explanations. Wait a moment." Tn three minutes she returned. "I think it will be all right." she -whispered. "Go and see him. Straight through the passage you will find a door open, on the right. I'll wait here." Horace went forward and came to the half-open door. The professor, who had changed his loose yellow alpaca coat for a black one of the same material, sat by a reading-lamp. He wore now his goldrlmmed spectacles, in lieu of the blue "goggles." He looked clean, and pink, and comfortable, though a trifle severe the passion of the afternoon had vanished from his face. Horace spoke the first word. "I have again to reiterate, professor, how vexed I am to have disturbed your collecting-ground. I had not the slightest intention of doing it. Indeed, my plans lay farther north. It was the pure accident of meeting my old school friend, Marley, that led me here. In order to convince you of my sincere regret, I have here a new butterfly evidently a scarce and unknown 'Eurema' which I discovered a few days sdnce near here. My discovery is at your service. Here is the butterfly. I trust you will consider it some slight set-off for the vexation I have unwittingly given you." At sight of the butterfly, which Horace took from his box, the professor's eyes gleamed with interest. He took the insect, looked at it very carefully, then returned it. "Mr. Maybold," he said, rising and holding out his hand, "I believe I did you an injustice this afternoon. I lost my temper, and I regret it. I understand, from my sister and daughter, that they are acquainted with you, and that they were fully aware of your original intention to travel to the Orange river. Your offer of the new butterfly, which Is, as you observe, a new and rare species, is very handsome, and I cry "quits. I trust I may have the pleasure of seeing you tomorrow at breakfast, and accompanying you to the habitat of your very interesting and remarkable discovery.". Before breakfast next morning there was a very pleasant and even tender meeting between Horace Maybold and Rose Vanning; and when Mrs. Stacer Joined them, there was a merry laugh overothe adventures of yesterday. After breakfast they all sat down together, the professor In his most genial mood Horace and the old gentleman at once set off for the kloof where the new "Eurema" was discovered. They returned late in the evening; the professor had captured a number of specimens, and. although fatigued, was triumphantly happy. Horace stayed a week with them after this, with the natural result that at the end of that time he and Rose Vanning were engaged, with the professor's entire consent. The new butterfly which, partly out of compliment to Rose, partly from its own. peculiar coloring, was christened "Eurema Itosae" was exhibited by

Horace and the professor Jointly with gre.U eclat at the early meeting of the Entomological society. Horace and Rose's marriage is a happy one. Arid, as they both laughingly agree for the old gentleman often reminds them of the fact they thank the professor's butterfly (the famous "Achraea Parchelli") for the lucky chance that firt threw them together. Chambers's Journal.

M1VKR INDORSE A(iAI. Ir. Depew Given Some Kxrrllent IleaHOI1 AY:T. Chauncey M. Depew has been associated r,ll hi3 life, from the very day he left Yale college,' with rich men. He was one j of Commodore Vanderbilt's "bays," and i has been the intimate of the commodore's sons. The Oarretts. the Scotts, the Morgans, and all the kings of the railroad and banking world for twenty years and more have been amoug Mr. Depew's friends. All of these gentlemen have been tackled by the fellows who are proverbially "short." There is a class of borrowers who want to exchange checks; that is. the borrower wants the check of a sound man to use immediately, and in return gives a check dated ten or more days ahead, when he. expect3 that his own bank account will be rich enough to meet it. There is in this fraternity a set of downright swindlers, whose checks are returned with that exasperating stamp, "No funds." As Solomon said: "My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thcu hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou are snared with the words of thy piouth. thou art taken with the words of thy mouth." Solomon evidently knew something about "hand-shakers." Dr. Depew has come to some conclusions also, and here thv are: "Never indorse an aecom-nodation note. If you wish to help your friend make up your mind how much you can aff.ird to lose, and lend him that. He will consider .'erlius'.y the repayment of this money, while jour name on his piper will not receive a second thought. If his venture is a failure and your money is gone you will not be greatly disappointed, and your compensation will be an approving conscience and the satisfaction of having done the best you could for one whose appreciation of your effort you value. But your indorsement he regards as a mere formality. He believes in himself and has great contempt for your fears. At each renewal of the note he will want the amount increased or an additional note, on the plea of increasing business and opportunities. When you have become frightened at the sum for which he has made you responsible, and find that you must stop or be ruined, he will say that unless you aid him further he will be forced into bankrupcy and you will 'be the cause. When he fails, as he inevita'bly will, you find that the money raised has paid enemies and strangers who insisted on his dealing with them on business principles, and that you are his largest an 1 perhaps his sole creditor. You are crippled financially for a time, and perhaps far life, by meeting the maturing obligations which you have indorsed, and your former friend, now your bitter foe. Is loudly proclaiming in his own Justification that you are the author of his ruin. The result of your excursion in the careless lending of your name will be thi you have lost both friend and fortune, and have discovered, perhaps, too late, that you are a fool. I have had in greater or less degree several such experiences." It is said on good authority that Dr. Depew lost $?0,000 last year by indorsing nt-s. He'll never do it again, he says. N. Y. Sun. rivisisuiiXT op niiLnrniv. The Appeal to Fear I I alverKnlly Hurtful nuil Demoralizing. A few samples teil In different language, the almost uniform tale of the outcome of the appeal to force. "I rebelled with feelings of hatred and cf desire fcr revenge. It setmed to me unjust, Imposed by sheer force, not reason." On'; t3lls the story of being coaxed by older boys to steal some tobacco from his father. "I was caught nd given a whipping, no questions being asked and no explanation given. The result was certainly a fe?.r of punishment in the future, but no moral impression. I thought my father whipped me because he wanted the tobacco himself, and so objected to my having any of it." Another reports that the impression left by punishment was of a mixture of a feeling of personal indignity suffered a feeling so strong as to blot out the original offense and a belief that she was punished for being detected. Another thougaht she was punished because her father was the stronger of the two; another, that fear of harm to self induced people to do rig-ht things; another tells that he longed for the age of independence to arrive so that he might retaliate, says Prof. Jo-hn Seevers in August Popular Science Monthly. One upon whom fear of punishment from God was freely impresed formed the idea that if he could put off death long enough lying was the best way out of pome things. One chl'.d (five year old) went into the front part of the house after she had been forbidden and, falling, hurt herself. She was told that this was a punishment from God; whence she drew the not illogical conclusion that God was a tyrant, but that it was possible to outwit' him by being more careful next time and not falling down. One peculiarity of the method of inducing morality by creating fear is that some parents, in order to prevent lying, deem it advisable to lie themselves; 1. e., talk about cutting off the end of the boy's tongue or making him leave home. e'tc. JJllt there is hardly any need of multiplying Incidents; all the reports re-enforce the lesson wlvlch moralists of pretty much all schools have agreed in tea?hing that the appeal to fear as such is moraily harmful. Of course there are a nuttibeT of cases where good results are said to have come from punishment, but in such cases the punishment was incidental, not the one Important thing; it was the emphasis added to a explanation. Arinf oorntle Women Smokers. An item found in an unidentified English clipping gives women smokers the advantage at least of aristocratic examples. "The empress of Austria smokes thirty to forty Turkish cigarettes every day. On her writing table there is a silver box with fine relief work, filled with cigarettes, and a gold ash tray. The czarina also yields to the passion for nicotine, but she only smokes in her boudoir. Her anxieties may plead her excuse; but Queen Marguerite of Italy, whose life is freer from care, smokes also, and smokes much, but always in solitude. The queen regent of Spain consumes Egyptian cigarettes in large quantities; ex -Queen Natalie of Scrvla has a great store of cigarettes of every kind; the queen of Roumanla carries a little golden box filled with the same means of delight, while the Comtesse d? Paris appreciates only the tobacco of Havana, and her daughter, the queen of Portugal, gets her cigarettes from Dresden." N. Y. Times. John G.

DUN'EDIN, New Zealand. July 20. j Copyright, Louis Klopsch. 1S94. The 1 angelä of night were descending from j the evening skies and ascending from j the waves of the Pacific and riding down In black chairot of shadow from the mountains of New Zealand as we approached the harbor of Auckland, and ! the lighthouse on the rocks held up its i great torch to keep us off the reefs, and to show us the way to safe wharfage, seeming to- say: "Yonder is a path of waves! Ride into peace! Accept the welcome of this island continent!" It was 7:30 'o'clock when the great screw of our steamer ceased to swirl the waters, and the gangplank was lowered, and we descended to the firm land, our name called as we heard it spoken by a multitude who were there to greet us. Strange sensation was It, 10,000 miles 1 from home, to hear our name pronounced by those whose faces we had never seen before, and whose faces could be only dimly seen now by the lanterns on the docks and the lights of our ship, Just halted after a long voyage. What made the night more memorable was that I was suddenly informed at 8 o'clock I was to lecture in their hall, and thirty minutes was short time to allow a poor sailor like myself to get physical and mental equipoise after twenty-one days' pitching. But at 8 o'clock I was -ready and confronted a throng of people cor- j dial and genial as any one ever saluted j from platform or pulpit. j I told how for many days I had been looking off on a great ocean of ipecac, but that I had not wanted, as many j say under such circumstances, to be 1 thrown overboard, and reminded them j of the seasick voyager who said he wish-j ed to be thrown into the sea, and the , captain had a sailor dash on him a pail- j ful of cold ocean water, and when the soaked and shivering men protested and j asked the captain what he meant by j such an insult the captain replied, "You wanted to be thrown overboard, and I thought I would let you try how you j liked a bucket of the Water be tore you toak the whole ocean." Nov er so glad were we to stand on firm land as the night of our arrival at Auckland. Wondrous New Zealand! Few people realize how it was discovered. They tell us cf Capt. Cook and of Dutch navigators, but all the islands of the South sea as well as this immense New Zealand V.'Cf discovered as a result of the effort to watch the transit of Venus t vor '.he sun's disk from the South seas. Tre- ltayal society sent out Phil? for this. pu:p so, and Capt. Cook and the astronomers and botanists who accompanied hini otl his voyage were only the agents of science. How the interests of this Werld are linked with the behavior of other worlds, and how the fact mentioned suggests that most of the valuable things known in thU world have been found out while looking for something else, and what sublimity all this gives to the work of the explorer, the transit cf Venus an island of light, resulting In the transit of many islands from the unknown into the well known! But the prowess of such rain can never be fully appreciated. The sea captain who puts out in this day of charts and navigating apparatus with a ship of 10.090 tons for another hemisphere, ' daring typhoons and cyclones, .-urange currents and hidden rocks, must be a brave man. but who can measure thi courage of Cabot or Marco Polo or Capt. Cook, sailing out into unknown seas, across wildernesses of water that have never been mapped, in ships of 1100 tons, discovering rocks only by running upon them and met on shore by savages ready to scalp or roast them! These challengers of tempest and cannibalism and oceanic horror must have had nerve and valor beyond that of any Other heroes. Such men set New Zealand as a gem into the crown of the world's geography. To me and to most people who come here New Zealand is a splendid surprise. We have all read so much about the superstition- and outrageous cruelty of this land In other tim?3 that we are startied on arriving here to find more churches in XeW Zedland than in America in proportion to the number of the popuation. In one village that I visited since coming here I finrt eig-ht churches to a population of 3,000 people. There are too many churches in many places in New Zealand, and they jostle each other and contend for right of possession, hindering each other and half Starving many of their ministers, as is sure to 'be the case when there are too many churches and consequently not enough support for every one of them. Another surprise to me Is that female suffrage is in full blast. I found elegant ladies telling of their experience at the ballot box, and I hereby report to the American ladies now moving for the right of female suffrage that New Zealand is clear ahead of them, and that the experiment has been made here successfully. Instead of the ballot box degrading woman, woman is here elevating the ballot box, and why in New Zealand or America or anywhere else should man be so afraid to let woman have a vote, as though man himself bad made such a grand use of it? Look at the illitero.tes and the incompetents who have been elected to office and see how poorly the masculines have exercised the right of suffrage; look at the governments of nine-tenths of the American, cities and see what work the ballot box has done In the possession of man. Man at the ballot box is a failure. Give, women a chance. I am not clear that governmental affairs will be made any better by the change, but they cannot be any worse. New Zealand has tried it; let England and America try it. It is often said in America that if women had the right to vot they would not exercise it. For the refutation of that theory I put the fact that in the last election in New Zealand of lO'l.öüO women who registered 90,000 have voted, while of the 1Ü3.000 men who registered only 12'J.OOO have voted. This razio shows that women are mora anxioti3 to vote than men. Perhaps women will yet save politics. I know the charge that she is responsible for the ruin of her ra-e, eince she first ate the forb öden fruit in paradise, but I think there rs a chapter in that matter of Edenlc fruit not written. I think that Adam when he saw Eve eating that apple asked for a bite, and getting it into hl3 possession ate the most of it. and he immediately shook the tree for more applea and ha.s been eating ever I since. If woman did first transgress, I j cannot forget that she introduced inti ! the world the only being who has ever j done much toward saving it. Wor.iin i has started for suffrage, and sh, is a determined and persevering creature, and ; she will keep on until she gets it. Sh : may yet decide the elections in England and elect presidents for the United States, as already she is busy in the political affairs of New Zealand. I waa , surprised also in these regions to rinl how warmly loyal they arc to old England. I had heard that they Niad Income somewhat impatient of their governmental mother. But this Is not so. They practically have things thlr own way, electing their own parliament and all governors sent out from the old conn- i try are such men are agreeable, and J the people are required to pay no tax j to the British crown, and tney are in ! gcod humor with the British flag. j I addressed an audience last niarht, on i my right hand the United States flag, on j my left hand the English tlag. and you j ought to have heard them -shout when at the beginning of my adarcss I said. ".When in my church at homo I pray for

the president of the United States, I am very apt to add God save the queen." Many of the streets of New Zealand cities are called after the generals and prime ministers of Great Britain, and Wellington ar.d Palm.rston :nd ;ia-!to";e are the names of greit thtrougr.f ire-. New Zealand feel.? ihc financial d?pr?ssl n very' much, as the whole wr'.d at th's time recms suffering an epi lr-iai -. Indeed the w. rid is now a ccrr.j-r .- d ' interlocked affair. Out cf the .he d of ur ship arriving in New Zealand wt-re lifted rakes, pbws and various agricultural Implements of Amtrkia mrutufi-.ture. Today all New Zealand is rejoicing that th American congress has pu: wl o.n tcfree list, and the value of thr- t.ieep on all these hillsides is aogmenied. Among our most lntt recti:i-r hours in 2e'.v 1.-j1j:k1 were th '.-e sp;ij. at the bi ih p's house in Au Tlano. Lord Eish ip Cowie is a man of marvelous attractive-11?:--, and his home is a.n ench intment. adorned with many curios which he brought fron; India, where he served as chaplain during that wir which interests and t?p;jalls ihe world with its tales mutiny. While chaplain he rode with Sir Colin Campbell and his historical host fcr the capture of Lueknow, that city whose name will stand in the literature of all ages as the synonym for sepjy atrocities, and womanly fortitude and Christian heroics, lie told us most graphically how the women waiting for death at Lucknow tore up their underclothes to make bandages for the wounds of the soldiers, and that when at last thes? women were rescued they appeared in the brilliant dress of the ballroom, these dresses formerly worn by the convivial having been suddenly come upon, and when the wives and daughters of missionaries and Christian merchants had nothing else to wear. Lord Bishop Cowie also had on hi3 walls pictures of some of the most stirring scenes of the Russian war with which the mllkary friends of the bishop had been cognizant. Here Is a pictured scene where there was no retreat for the English and yet their standing firm seemed certain destruction, and their general cried out: "Men. there is no retreat from this place. You will die here!" and the men replied, "Aye, aye, we are ready to do. that!" And yonder another picture scene of Balaklava after the famous charge of the 600, and the commander said to the few men who had get back from the awful charge, "Men, it was a mad-brained trick," and they replied, "Never mind, general; we would do it again." The bishop's walls In other places were made interesting by swo'rds, belts and torn insignia of battle from the fields of India, all the more interesting because we expect in our journey around the world to visit Lucknow and Cawnpur and Delhi and many of the chief places made immortal by the struggle between British valor and sepoy infamy. And here from the bishop's own words I got a satisfactory answer to a question I have asked many times, but for which I never received a satisfactory answer. I said: "Your lordship knew the chief men of lialaklava, and will you plea2 explain to me what I have never been able to find out. and to which Tennyson makes reference in his 'Charge of the Light Brigade,' and in that line where he says, 'Some one had blundered?' Do you know and will you tell me exactly what that blunder was?" He said, "I can and will." Then the bishop illustrated with knives and fork: and napkin rings on the dinner table the position of the Enplish guns, the Russian guns and the troops. He demonstrated to me plainly what the military blunder was that caused the dash and havoc of that cavalry regiment, whose click of spurs and clatter of hoofs and jingle of bits and spurts of bioad you hear in the poet laureate's battle hymn. Here was the line of the English gun3 not very well defended, and yonder was the I'ne of Russian guns backed by the whole Russian army. The order was given to the cavalry regiment to take care of those English guns and keep them from being taken by the Russians, and the command was, "Take care of tho-e Englisii guns!" But the words were misunderstood, and It was supposed that the order was to capture the Russicn artillery. Instead of the command. "Take care of those English guns'." it was thought the command wras, "Take those Russian guns!" For that ghastly and horrible assault of th? impossible the riders plunged their spurs and heald their horses Into certain death. At last I had positive information as to what the blunder at Balaklava was. At Edinburgh years ago I asked one of the soldiers who rode in that charge th? same question, but even he, a participant in the scenes of that fiery day, could net tell me Just what the blunder was. Now I have at last not only told in stirring words of a natural orator nnd magnetic talker, but on the dining-tablo of the lord bishop of Auckland I had it set out before the eye, dramatized and demonstrated by the cutlery on the white tablecloth, but instead of the steel bayonets the silver forks of a beautiful repast, and instead of the sharp swords of death knives for bread cutting, arid instead of th? belching gruns of destruction the napkin ringp of a hospitality the memory of which shall be bright and fresh as long as I remember this vibit to New Zealand.

The Earth Rocked for Ten Dhs. The greatest earthquake that has ever occurred within the limits of the United States since the discovery of America began in California at 2:30 o'clock on the morning of March 2G, 1ST2, and continued until the 4th of April, during which time the surface cf the earth was continually agitated, not being perfectly quiet for as much as a single moment. The most remarkable thing in connection with the whole affair (especially when we consider that Mt. Loa. Sandwich islands, and MU Herd, On., were simultaneously agitated) is the fact that the region around San Kraneiseo did not receive a single vibration. The entire face of Inzo county, California, was changed and thirty-four persons killed. XegTOes Xo Longer to Me Tricked. Kach year marks an increase of negroes who leave the republican party. The colored man is fast finding out that the only use that party has for him is his vote. The colored vote kept the republican party in supremacy in this country for a quarter of a century and the negro's reward was paid in unfulfilled promises. When the colored race becomes more independent with its vote, that vote will wield a greater Influence for good government. The black man sees this, and the more intelligent ones of the race are refusing to be longer driven to the polls in herds like cattle are driven to the slaughter. Kansas City Times.

Some republican papers are complaining that the new bill makes such radical reductions in the tariff that prices on most articles will be reduced below what American manufacturers can afford to make them for.
