In legonds such as those wo read tbe constancy with which men cleave to the defense of their al tars and thoir firesides, for it is the perpetuity of tbe faith they preserve in tne religion and land of thoir fathers that bos gives to these fables their currency and their persistence. . Besides those national and religious traditions there is another claw of no tions which have been invented to il lustrate and embody the epochs of growls and expansion wltneeseel In the. planting of Christianity and in the de velopment ol empire. 1 bore, for in stance, is the story of the Seven Sleep ers of Euhosus, which Gibbon bas not disdainod to enabnne in the swollini pages, of his imperial history, am which tells us of the pious youth who full asloop nndor the reign of the Em peror Hecious, the most inhuman per secutor of tho Christians, to waken again more than a hundred and fifty years afterwards, undor tbe roign of . I I rpi I.-: l . ,? . tuerwt uuuuuniiiB,wiicn tue religion of Paganism hod sunk into popular i-uiiuHitjit, suite wnvn ttinsuaaiiy uau come to rule the civilised world. And what American reader, is not familiar with lbs romantic tale of Rip Van Winkle, as told by Irving, which recites tbe strsngo adventures that norm tho long sleeper in the Catskill mountains only to serve aa a preludo to tho sur prise that fell upon dim wben he awoke, no longer tbe loyal subject of George III., or the crony of Nicholas Tedder, the tapster, ana the so-ntime boon companion of Van BrammeL the Dutch acboolmastajr, but, tho free and sover eign cHuevn trftbmteajeft rwpublle, then for k dacadv of ywars or mors RAlotlne; Its wf to full UdeKiBKtwMsfal eiyei iiuest PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN. Behind legonds sneh ss these Is bid a useful moral lesson, which may in struct tho philosophic mind, albeit that the legonds themselves msy scorn to bo the vagrant and purposeless creations of the myth-making fancy. As Schil ler sings: 4 1 ' I "Tblt elilbte ael ore, aad this aoaimon world Are all ta aarrew : yea, a deeper Import . I.arka la the legend told our infant yeera Tbaa Hat apoa Ika trsth we live to learn." For these mythical stories warn us against the misjudgments to which mon are subjoct as tho creature oi a day playing each his several part on the stago of life without perceiving tho grand denouement of thodruntain which he is called to aot his subordinate part No age fully understands ltseir or tho place it occupies in the great secular movemoaU ot human history. If wo would catch the "increasing purposo" which runs throw ve the aue, we must learn to look at them in tboso widely- separated epochs which mark tho de cline and lau, tue rise aim growtn oi political empiro. I bough to-day bo as yesterday and though tbe morrow shall be as to-dity, it still remains to bo seen that tbe subtle elements ot historical change and development are constan t ly at work with a transforming power which is none tho less efficient in its results because it is invisible in its oper ations. , If we would clearly dicern tho fact of human progress in knowl edge and virtue we must look at the file leaders of humanity not as they mark timo in tho pauses and breathing spells of tho daily march, but as they set up the trophies which signulixo the turning point of human destinywhetb or it bo some docisive battlo which saves Europe from the domination of Persian civilization, as st Marathon, or a transfer of the world's sceptre from Pagan to Christian hasds, as typified by the conversion of Constanline. And in like mannor, if we would clearly percieve tbe progress that has been made by tho separate nations of the world, now competing with each other for the prir.es of place nd power, we must coiitcmplato thoir history in its periodic timos and not it its duily rev olutions. We stand to-day at the thrcHhold of the Centennial year in the history ol the United States. At this distance of time from tbe feeble beginning of the republic, we havo reached a fitting point from which to survey the pro ercss we have mado in thoso elements which compose the highest glory of nations, ibe retrospect in somo ol its aspects may well dosorvo to flatter our pride, but there are others which we cannot review without somo twinges of conscience and without some confu sion of face. Our material power is respected abroad, but at bouio its re spectability suJTers in our eyes from the presence ol maladministration and of official corruption. Opulent in arts and in arms beyond tho proudest dream of our revolutionary fathers, we must still hang the purest and noblest of our military shields beneath the name of Washington, and where, in tho days on which we havo fallen, is now to be sound a statesmanship in the splendor of which tbe fame ot Jefferson and Madison is in any dangor of growing pale T Dutthoueb the review to which this day invites us ho not without its shame as well as its glories, wo shall niost of all mistako tbe historic lesson which it oomes to teach us if we derive from that review the weak complainings of ash allow despondency, instead of draw ing from it the. inoentives of a fervent and unremitting patriotism. As Ci cero reasoned that they who saved the IComan rocnhlic woro entitled to hardly less of credit than thoso who founded it, so the men of this generation while rejoicing in the rich political beritngo bequeathed to us by our ancestors. may still more justly rejoice if it shall be reserved for them, in this Centen nial year, to rescuo the good namo of our republic from the reproaches that he against it, and to build anew tbe fabricof its prosperity on the indestruc tible foundations of truth and justice and law. Else it will remain for us to find a solaoo for our political misfor tunes only in the invention of somo curious legend which shall preserve tho memory ol what we woro as the best, and as the sole surviving earnest of what our children msv hope to ho. And in this way, too, wo shall add another to tho legends which record the lorlorn bones ol buried nations. iVew lor World. THE LA TE DR. HO WE. . Samuel C rid ley llowo, M.

Chinese Cikiksrt. Americans who dine with Chinese aro surprised at tho ierfection to which liioy have carried their cooking, miring a recent Chi. nosa bamiuot at San Francisco an orango was laid at tho plato of each guest. The orango itself seemed liko any other orange, but on being cut open was found to contain within tho rind Ave kinds ot delicate jellies. Uue wss at first puzzled, to explain how the jellies got in, and, giving np that train ol reflection, was in a worse quandary to know how the pulpy part of the orange got out.

That the Keystone Stale is bound to bo ahead In another decade, Is a settled hu t, anil upon this point the editor In question alieiitly yields the point, us Ibe urliclo found below clearly indicitlrs. lie dwells at length nn this Important subject, ss follows: :- Few things wear an aspect of (Treat or perniancnco to the eyes ot our younger contemporaries than tho pre eminence of tho State of New York. Yet there are men now living who can remember wlicr.!. was excelled by at least two members of tho Union In re spect to wealth, prostigo and number of inhabitants. Already the ccntreof fiopulntion has shifted beyond the AI eglicnies, and It is possible that within a tew decades Illinois may basou claim to leadership upon nuincrical superior ity. There are reasons, howovor, for belioving that tho focus of productive industry will be found in another quar ter, and that Putinsylvaiiia is destined to exhibit a preponderance of ciipitul arid influenco in the second century of tho republic's existence A reference to statistics will even indicate tbut the epoch is not far distant when Pennsyl vania may venture, single handed, to cotio with the resources of England. The ftiture, I'eol said, belongs to the nation which shall produco the most coal. Novel applications of steam are duily narrowing tho field of rude ninn uul labor, and coal seems certain to re main for centuries tho most available calorific agent. A country whoso em ployment of this minoral is chocked by dwindling supplies and expanding cost of extraction, is doubtless doomed to eventual exclusion from the marts of tho world ; and in a recent comparative statement of amounts and progressive rates ot coal production, tho English statesmen would probably have recog nized tbo handwriting on tho wail. Tho total yield of the mineral through out tbo world (Including bituminous, anthracite and lignito varieties), was estimated for tho year 1872 at two hundred and flfty.fivo millions ot tons, qf which England was credited with about ono-hirlf, or in exact figures ono hundred and twemy.five millions. The United States ranked second in tho list, having extracted ovor forty-one millions, ol which tho single State of Pennsylvania furnished about thirty, an amount exceeding the united quotas of Franco, Austria and Riissls, and constituting almost an eighth of the whole production of the globe. Still more significant are tbo figures which exhibit the comparative rates of progression in tho development ol dif ferent coal fields. During the last halt century tho yield of Pennsylvania has successively doubled with each decade, while England's production, although expanding with curious regularity, re quires s period of fifteen years to slinw sn equivalent gain.- It is probable that tho rate of production in Pennsyl vania will bo rather accelerated than diminished, sinco a possible falling off in the delivery ot anthracite mines (whoso area is limited) must be more than compensated from those ox limit less bitiiininons deposits which lie west of thcAllcghenies. On thootberhand, it appears lrom the report of tho l'or liamentary Commission that whilo the Knglisb tual fields are in no immediate danger of depletion, a sensible increnso in the expense of mining may be ex pected at an early day. In tliii case, therefore, wo aro justified in drawing an inference from statistics; sndasint ple calculation demonstrates Jhut Penn sylvania should outstrip England in the production of this mineral within sixty years from the present time. In other words, tho men are already bnrn who may see a State, which now cla mors for protection, controlling with paramount authority the most essen tial adjunct of human industry, and so qualified to undersell competitors in every free market throughout all the world. A inong tho decisivo factors of modern civilization, iron ranks next to coal. By an otld coincidence, a parallel in stituted between Pennsylvania and England in respect to tho reduction of iron ores conducts lo identical results. Tho total produce of iron and stool in the year 1872 was computed at fourteen millions of tons, nearly half Of which wits furnished by Great Britain. The I'nited Status followed with a quota nf 2,800,000, of which Pennsylvania con tributed one halt, or a tenth of all the iron smelted on the globe. Hs, how ever, tho ditl'ureut lutes of .rogresion in tho renpeclivu yields ot the two two countries to which wo would diroot attention, tbe production of Pennsylvania mines being observed to double once in ten yenrs, and that of England in fifteen. Just now the American iron interest shares the universal deprcsssion ol biisiiicrw, but such disturbances liavuocuurrcd before without impairing the general correct ness of tho rale assigned to its devel opment. From the duta liefore ns, wc aro lod lo conclude that within ralbor more than half a century that is. prior to A.

BLICA NEW ' "WILD AFRICA." , Mr. Paul B. Du ChaJllu lectured on Monday ovouisg in tho Swedish Evan gelical Liilhern Church of Uustavus Adnlphiis, Now York, tho subject be ing "Wild Africa." A largo map of Africa formed tho background ot tbe platform. , . , Mr. Du Cbuillii began his lecture, narrating how ho set sail lor AlVifu in a little schooner when he wosonly eigh teen years of age. When he landed, he found a struct about two miles long, us narrow as a street in Swceden. Then ho was taken to a largo building, tbo only ono in the villago, and the King was sent for, who appeared in a swallow tail cost of a ettupls of eeo turius old, and a shirt that bad been unwashed for a couple ot years. Tho King asked him if be had coino to buy slaves or gold or ivory or oil. But bo said no; that" he wanted to ill ani mals and birds and butterflies. The King promised that he would protect all tho goods In the sciioonor, ana would allow him all tho people ho wuntod for his purposes. Tho lecturer then went on to give a pleasant descrip tion of this truot of land, which ran from two or throe degrees north to two or thrco degrees south of the equator, extending several hundred miles in land. Tboro woro no beasts ot burden there, and all tho traveling had to be done on foot. There woro a number of tribes, each fighting against the uthor, and each bail also a different htiigiiage, fortunately, however, con taining only a tew words as a vocabu lary. Tbe heat and the quinine and the furor wcro fierce. The forests woro covered with flowers, tbo sugar cane was wild, and here was the homo ot 4ho mon of the woods. Polygamy and wilchoralt were institutions ol tbo country. Tho older mon grew the more wives they wanted, ana the more wives tho snore slavos, and the more elaves the more wives. Witchcraft was a tcrriblu curse. ,'J'bey wanted a number of lives to bo sacrificed after the death of thoir principal men. The lecturer gave quite an amusing descrip tion of his experience with an old King, who he bad feared was going lo kill bim. Alter a talk ot two hours, in which the King declaimed about his grandfather and tho number of ele phants he had killed, and during which timo the women all surrounded him, tbo King concluded by offering bim a seleutiou ot a wife troiu eight hundred and fifty-three of the most beautiful girU in that region. On his refusal to tuko a singlo one lest tbo eight hun dred and tiftjMwo remaining sbould be jcitloits, it was decreed by the warriors thai that was so, and that lliereioro Mr. Du C'haillu should lake tbo whole eight hundred and fifty-threo. During bis experienco in Africa he had been really offered twenty thousand women for wives. , But finally tho King let him depart on his immenso journey into the forest and its frightening sur roundings. Then ho began to bear of tho gorilla, whic h horco animal used to carry tho pesple into tho forest and kill them. - , When they reached tho villuge of tbo cannibals they found the bouses about seven lect bigb and six leet long. Tho King hero was afraid to see him, believing bim to he a spirit. During throe days the King stayed away, bat thousands ol warriors cumeto see bim. The lecturer told somo very pleasant anecdotes about his experience with tho King and his retainers, and ex hibited tbe skull of a youthful gorilla ot about twelve years of aojo. He thon described bis first bunt alter a gorilla, in company with his three savage at tendants. The lecturer concluded a Very pleas ant loctnro with somo expression of good leeling toward the bwedes and their country, and the audience was again treated to some singing by the choir.

MITX. . , i - Fran the Chicago TribBBe. GAi.Esnt'Ra, III., Doo.25. The Rev. Oval Perkey, President of Abingdon College, was to-day reported ossasajn ated at Abingdon, a small town nine miles southwest of tho city. Abing don College is an institution of the Campbellilo or Christian Church, r or many years the collego had been undor (ho control of J. M. Butler. A faction was formed against him which led to bis dismissal in March, 1873. The fol lowing August, President Perkey was elected. Butler jwas called to a liko situation at Sjinta Ross, California. Tbo feeling of the Butler party was very bitter toward Perkey, and no pains were taken to conceal their ha tred. Klllgius of Perkoy and bis ad herents among tho faculty and towns people were suspended, in different parts of tho town. Their dwellings woro detaced, and insults woro heaped upon them while walking the streets. Tho press of tho place teemed with in cendiary articles. At tho June meet ing of tho collego trustees, arrange ment wcro made by them for an elec tion to fill vacancies that would shortly occur. Upon th day appointed, tho trustees met at tho usual place? and filled tho vacancies in tho board, thir teen in i.ll, and completing a flill board of thirty-two. The Butler party mot on the sumo day, and, styling them selves donors to the collego, claimed tbo privilego of electing a board of trustees, which they did. Tbo Perkey parly being in possession, legal steps .were at once taken to oust them, but owing to lack of time, tho caso has not como up for trial. Shortly after tho removal of President Duller, measures were taken by tho Christian Church to expel from tho church Prof. Thomp son, who had been instrumental in the re moval of llutler. Thoir success in this attempt resulted In the withdrawal of ninety-nmo ol tho members, and the formation of tho Jefferson Street Church. AVith this knowledge of affairs wo are ready for the tragedy of last night. The Jefferson Street Sunday School wcro giving a sociable in the upper hull of tho college building, tho Duller party holding another on tho lowor floor, Whilo In the midst of the even ing's entortainment,' a disturbance in the corridors attracted the attontion of tbo party. President Perkey step ped from tho ante-room near the stago into the corridor, and there) met three boys, Lomax, Lampkin and (iabriello, who aro now under bonds. Tho boys, evidently intoxicated, wcro requested hy Perkey to step into the ball and enjoy themselves. Troy refused, and were then asked to step down stairs. They replied insultingly. , Upon this Perkey took (iabriello, the ono who had insulted him, by the shoulders, and when he had turned to lead him down a short flight of stairs, Lampkin raised his hand and struck him. Tho Presi dent fell immediately, and the halls were instantly filled with an excited crowd. A nervous twitching of the muscles were the only signs of life, and ho was carried into an ante-room, and from thoro to his homo. It Is not yet known as to the weapon used in the attack, but Lampkin is known to have bad a billy, and tho nature of the wound seems to fkvor tho presumption that this was the weapon used. The negro Janitor, Jerry Johnson, ran the boys out of the building, and shortly sfter they were arrested by the Mar shal. Thoy professed entire I nnocenco ot tbo affair, aud mado no att empt to esoape, .Ths condition of Piosidont i'orkey at tho present writing is but llttlo improved, and the doctors in at tendance say there are no hopes of his recovery. Tho boys who havs boon arrested for the act aro John Lomax, perhaps twontv-threo years old ; Dick Lampkin and Bural Gabriello, whoare a year or two youngor. They all bear a lard name, are iu the habit of drink ing freely, and in that condition are very quarrelsome. Gubriollo has been in Jail belbro for lawless acts of a simi lar nature. Thoy havo often expressed their sympathy for tho Butler party, and several timos havo threatened to mako it hot for Perkey. They are kuown to havo been concerned in the previous disorders, In whiaih sots they . were supported by ths Butler party. CABINET MEMBERS' WIVES. I must glvo you, writes a Washing ton correspondent, some idea of what an arduous business falls to tho lot ot tho wife of a member of the Cabinet Every one, without limitation, is privl. leged to tall on these Indies on their reception days, and as custom has made the returning of ull these cells obliga. tory, w hen llnvo hundred additions at least are made to their visiting lists every Wednesday, tho labor Involved in making the proin-r acknowledgment is easily imagined. From one thou sand fivo hundred to two thousand five hundred names on their visiting list fa tbe ordinary number. Sovoral years age a lovely lady, since dead, who then occupied one of these harrsssing posi tions, gavo ma some idoa of her daily life, and aa her successors of tho pres ent winter are no loss taxed, I will re peat hor words : " I order my carriage," she said, " for twelve o'clock every day, no matter what the weathor may be, and begin calling. Noon is a little early to begin, but 1 have no choice, and 1 continue on my rounds nntil dark. On returning borne I havo no time to rest, but, changing my visiting costumo for an evening toilet, I go to a ' state dinner party,' and immediately on the conclusion of the feast begin my round of gaslight reception and balls." So many invitations are showered up- ' on these ladies that they are compelled to keep a book in which to register their engagements, not daring to trust the fulfillment of them to an overtaxed memory. If any one is amazed that ladies are willing to undergo such fatigue, they must remember that unpopularity is tlu lot of thoso who are not rigorous in the discharge of the duties long established usage bas attached to ths places thoy hold In society by virtue of the official rank of (heir husbands. And it is not a matter concerning which the wife of a "Mr. Secretary'' can afford to be Independent, for tho unpopularity she provokes will includo ber husband yes, and the political party he represents as well. More than one of these victims to socioty aro martyrs to a principle, snd offer them selves up on the sacrificial altar ratbor than make the "administration un popular." The most hcroio of tboso tbo administration bas known is tho wile of the Secretary of State, who ful fills bor every social duty with a cheer ful courtesy which is a perpetual sur prise even to those who best know her. Stato dinners on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week, a crowded reception in the afternoon of the last named day, and a lunch for about a dezen ladies on Thursday wcro a few of her homo engagements, and yet the ceaseless round of visiting went on. Nor docs Mrs. Fish employ a house keeper, but superintends all tho details of her well appointed household. Nearly all our " leading ladies," as care less reporters are apt to style them, are actively engaged in some of the many charities a city the size of Wash ington is bound to support With such a diversity of arduous duties how they find time for even a portion of the rest exhausted nature demands is a conundrum. I for one give up prompt ly. That they do find somo moments lor recuperation is proved by tbe fact that they do not die or willingly resign. A MAN-EATING TIGER. Dr. Fayrcr caused some sensation by showing that daring one year 1869 6,219 deaths from snake tiito occurred in the Bengal Presidency alone, among a population of something more than 48,000,000 of souls. He now horrifies us with accounts of the devastation caused by man-eating tigers, which-oc-cosionally cause villages aud even whole districts to bo depopulated. In one in stance, in tbe central provinces, a sin glo tigress caused the desertion of thir teen villages, whilo 250 square miles of country were thrown out ot cultivation before tbe oreature was shot Another tigress, in 1869, killed 127 peoplo, and stopped a publio road for many weeks before it too succumbed to an English sportsman. In 1868 tbe Magistrate of Godavery reported that that part of tho country was overrun with tigers, no road safe, and that a tiger had recently charged a largo body of villagers within a low hundred yards of the civil station. It is impossible to give accurate statistics for too whole of so vast a country as . Hindustan, but Jordon corroborates these stuloments by assorting that, in the district east of Jubbulpore, in 1856 and previous years, on an average, be tween two hundred and throe hundred villagers wore killed annually. Tigers apparently develop into man-eaters when they are old and sluggish, and the teeth aro somewhat decayed. Pre ferring human flesh, they find, when once tho awo natural to wild animals at the presence of man is shakon off, that he offers an easy and tempting prey. In some districts they abound ; while in others, as in Oude and Hobil cund, one is oniy heard of about cvory six yoars. Tlio natives aro extremely supersti tious respecting tigers, and in many parts dread tho wrath of tho slain ti ger's spirit almost moro than they feared the creature when alive. Tho small clavicles or shoulder bones, which aro deeply imbedded in muscles, are es teemed valiiahlo charms, while every sportsman, or, indeed, every ono who ia familiar with tiger skins, knows how difficult it is Jo save the tigor's claws. The whiskers are immediately plucked out by tho sportsman's servants, on tho tiger being shot, before their master can come np, as they are deemed a valuablo love philter. Those who aro most rigorously honest in all other re spects cannot refrain from thus muti lating a skin. On tho snot where a tiger has slain ' a human being, in the district round Mirzapore, they erect a curious conical mound of earth, which is ornamented with somo colored wash for a coating, a few flowers, and ono or moro singu larly shaped pieces of pottory.
