The Rev. Mr. Hi-own made BOIUO
weetly pretty remarks at the wedding
wf Prof. Ilcrron and Miss Hand. IIoj
* told them that "there Is no yesterday !
nd no to-morrow In the married har
mony and the Joyous rhythm of two
uch souls" as theirs ; that "we are
jbere to-day to announce to the world
nn the oneness of two human souls In a
Jove that reflects and reproduces and
jfwanLfestfl somewhat of the essence of
that Infinite love which Bways nnd nn !
mates the universe" ; and t.at ! the dls
covory of this oneness IB "the dlscov
cry of life the laying bare the vcrj
until of the cosmos. " Those nro line
Hounding sentences , though a little ob'
sctire In places. Many good people
will not have the least Idea what the
"soul of the cosmos" In , and perhaps
the Uov. Mr. Drown will llnd It dllll-
cult to describe It with sclent lie accu
racy. These line words about "n re
ciprocal lovo" which "united foul to
soul by a sanction In presence of which
all human enactments BCOIII profanu
and Impertinent , " cannot conceal HOIIIO
of the commercial , rcpcllant features
of this particular union of souls , Prof.
Ilcrron , founder of the "New Social
Apostolate , " had it wife , the love of hln
youth , who bore him four children , ntlll
living. That wife got -divorce from
liltn on the ground of desertion and
was given the custody of the children.

The woman lie has Just married Is her
self wealthy and has n rich mother ,
who approves of the match. The pro-
fe nr can sing with David , "The lines
are fallen unto me In pleasant plares ;
yea , I have a goodly heritage. " A fath
er who allows himself to be bnug' > t
away from his children cannot have In
Ills breast even a small drop of "the
essence of that Infinite love which
HWH.VH ami animates the universe. "
Itousseau left his children at found-
lines' homes. Prof. Ilerron cheerfully
puts his out of his life. Evidently "so
cial apostles" whoso mission It IB to
love humanity and enjoy the "soul of
Hie cosmos" cannot be tied down to the
common , plain duties of life , lie who
can appreciate the "Joyous rhythm of
souls" cannot bo expected to bother
with his children or with their mother ,
whom he took "for better , for worse. "
These vows bind the "social apostle"
only until some richer woman conies

to get him.
NEVER SAW A NEGRO.
Commercial Traveler's Queer Story of
tlin Tcnuere Mountain" .
Severn ! years ago I went up In the
mountains to the town of ( , wAlch
was at that time sixty miles from the
railroad. There were two good mer
chants doing an Immense business
there , and I could not afford to miss
their trade , if they did use Vglusang"
as legal tender.
There was { hen no colored man or
woman living In that county , and many
of the people had never seen a negro.
The day I went up there happened to
be "court day , " and the little town waa
full of men , women , children , dogs ,
guns and corn whisky. They were
drinking , dancing In the streets and
having a Jolly time generally. When
I drove In and stopped before one of
the stores my driver , who chanced to
be very black , was immediately the
center of Interest The crowd swarmed
around my hack and gazed In wonder
at him.
They advised him to "Go wash that
black off his face , " "To take off that
false face , " etc. , nnd one woman snld
to another , while walking around him ,
"I have often heard tell of 'em , but this
Is the first one I ever seed. " Soon the
crowd became very familiar with the
poor fellow ; first they kicked him. then
began firing their pistols nnd hitting
the ground close to his feet. They
seemed to think It great fun to make
him dance. They treated him so rou-.li
ly that the merchant advised me to get
him away from them and hi 'e him or ,
he said , they would kill him just for
the fun of the thlnu. I finally succeed
ed In getting him smuggled Into the
merchant's kitchen , where he was glad
to stay until next morning.
I made good sales and loft before day
light next morning , and can honestly
Bay that I have never had a driver ,
cither before or since , make such good
time IIH that one did the tlrst ten miles
away from that town. It is needless
to say I was never able to get the same
driver for any subsequent trips , al
though the country through that region
Is now very much Improved. Leslie's

At last Captain John S. Witttui'd , a
graduate of the. Naval Academy at An
napolis , tlilnlcy ho has solved thu prob
lem. Captain Wallers Is at present a
resident of New Orleans , and claims
that his Invention can be applied to
any vessel with little expense. Ho
would substitute for the solid bilge keel
one which would contain square aper
tures , and In each aperture firmly se
cure by Its forward end n flu made of
laminated spring material , preferably
steel on n steel ship and brass on a
wooden or coppered vessel. These fins
fill up the apertures almost completely ,
nnd when the ship is steady oiler very
little , If any , moro resistance to head
way than such as Is due to n plain bilge
icel merely skin friction.
As soon , however , as the vessel rolls
the pressure of the water itself , im
pinging upon the fins broadside on or
at right angles to their length , springs
ill of the fins out and thus dellccls
the water aft , by reaction forcing the
vessel ahead. It Is an application of
the turbine Idea , lie 1ms tested the
plan with a small boat on Lake I'ont-
elmrtraln , where the waves are not
powerful , and when running with the
wind abeam , on which course It Is ob
vious that no force whatever outside
of the work of the tins could be driving
the boat ahead , the speed was about
three miles an hour. The fact that a
vessel equipped with tills apparatus
may be headed in any direction , Irre
spective of the direction of the wind ,
makes It particularly advantageous , in
Captain Waiters' opinion , for a vessel
so equipped will travel directly against
the wind and thus may be worked oil

Admiral Hud Little Itespcct
for Clerical Clubmen.
From London clubland n rather
amusing story comes over the sea. The
rUhennoum and the United Service
Clubs are situated In close proximity
to each other aud during the summer
each of them is closed a few weeks for
general renovation. Care is always
taken , however , that both shall not be
closed at the same time , for while ono
Is being renovated Its members tempo
rarily become the guests of the other
by a mutual aud friendly arrangement.
Now , the Athenaeum's members repre
sent the higher spheres of literature ,
art aud diplomacy , and particularly the
established church , Inasmuch ns near
ly all the bench of bishops may bo

ice Club , on tlie other hand , is made
up of officers of the army and navy.
One day last summer , while the Athe
naeum was closed for repairs aud Its
members were temporarily enjoying
the hospitality of the other club , there
came down Into the hall a retired ad
miral , a man of portly build and violent
temper. "Whure'o my umbrellaV" he
demanded of the hall porter. Search
was made and the umbrella was not
forthcoming. The admiral began to
fume. A dozen flunkies Immediately
swarmed Into the hall. "My umbrella ! "
cried thu admiral. "An umbrella with

The bustle continued for a few mo

timorously Informed the admiral that
It could not be found. "What , sir

the hall porter , "that some gentleman

"The one we have been discussing for
several hours , " replied Judge Phillips.
The resolution was hunted for high and
