SATURDAY EVENING, JUL.Y 16, 1881.
Tke Otter Side.
Human nature being substantially the
same everywhere, it is doubtful whether
there is any people under the sun who
have net in their literature or their le
gends something akin te that fable in
which it is represented that once upon a
time two knights engaged in mortal
combat ever a burnished shield, as te
whether it was of silver or geld, and
only when they lay prostrate did they
learn that it was silver en the one side
and golden en the ether, the view which
it presented differing with the stand
point of observation. The story has
been told se often and in se many differ
ent ways that mankind, it would seem,
might halt at every shield set up in its
way and cautiously examine both sides
before a positive opinion was adopted or
expressed. But it is doubtful if the race
has learned much since its primal glory
and its fall. Eve is as weak te flat
tery new as when the serpent's voice be
guiled her. Adam is as cowardly as
when he flinched before the voice that
called him te divine accountability and
tried te transfer his shame te the woman
Ged gave him.
There are, popularly speaking, two
sides te everything. The dual tendency
manifests itself everywhere. The two
forces in the moral world, radical and
conservative, have been active since the
world began, like the centre-seeking and
centre -fleeing powers in physical nature.
The meim, albeit she never shows us
but one face has another, darkling
though it gees through space. Even a
bail penny has a head and a tail ; an
empty jug has an inside and n outside.
The worst of men are suspected of some,
geed traits, the best areblamed for some
bad ones.
Whether conscience be a matter of
culture or of moral endowment, by some
such standard man pronounces judg
ment en his own and mere frequently
en ether people's deeds and thoughts.
With the judgment that he passes upon
himself the world knows little. Confes
sion is mostly a matter of the closet. It
is occasionally that a man tells himself
he is wrong but it is only seini-occasien-ally
that ethers And it out in that way.
That he with mere frequency finds ethers
wrong, and tells them se is a statement
that will pass without being weighed.
In his judgment of ethers it would be
well for every one te ask himself :
" Hew often would you see it
just as he sees it if you occupied
the same standpoint?" "Hew, often
would you think as he thinks, feel as
he feels, de as he docs, were you born
with his birthright, imbued with his
prejudices, environed with his associa
tions, moving toward the interests which
lure him en." Te every member of so
ciety, Christian and patriot, seeking te
knew his duty te his fellow-man, his
country and his Ged, the question comes
home with serious import,he less than te
nations and every school of thought, for
of all the responsibilities imposed en
weak man none seems mere difficult te
discharge and mere easy te ignore than
te put yourself in his place. The heaven,
born authority of the Gelden Rule and
the inspiration which guided Paul's ut
terance in behalf of that Charity which
"heareth all things, believeth all things,
hepeth all tilings, endureth all things,"
are vindicated in every age and breathe
through every shifting phase of human
life. Truth lies between extremes. The
vessel steers safely in the middle course.
He who would net run afoul Scylla must
likewise watch his bark that it be net
engulfed in the seething waters of Char
rybdis.
The want of such a lookout has led te
most tremendous failures in every de
partment of human activity. The one ene
sided tendency of the human mind has
diverted or dwarfed nearly all the great
movements of human progress, retarded
advancement, shriveled heroic purposes
and delayed grand results.
War, te take the most import
ant example, instead of ministering te
the assertion of individual rights and
merely beating down the barriers te
progress, tee often is but a wild waste
and carnage for the ends of a one-sided
ambition ; religion runs te bigotry and
fanaticism, science te the pride of intel
lect, liberty te license, government te
tyranny, philosophy te barren dogmat
ism, and politics te baleful partisanship,
because statesmen and preachers, scien
tists and teachers, politicians and philos
ophers, are narrow-minded and partisan,
ignoring what is geed in their opponents
or recklessly championing what is evil
en their own side, simply because it is
en their side.
A Wise King.
The end of Mayer King's enforcement
of the ordinances regulating the sale
and use of explosives in Philadelphia go
admirably crowned the work that he de
rives therefrem great moral reinforce
ment in his present avowed purpose te
prosecute te punishment all violators of
the statute law against carrying con
cealed weapons. He has positively en
joined ui)en officers that they use their
best efforts te arrest and prosecute all
persons who shall carry any firearms,
slung-shot, or ether deadly weapons
about their persons, and te apprehend all
these that they may have reason te be
lieve are violating the law in that par
ticular. The benefits resulting from
a vigorous and thorough enforce
ment of this order would be im
measurably greater than even the
wonderfully gratifying exhibit from
the Hospitals of the philanthropic
services performed by his regulation of
the late Fourth of July observance. Te
the prevalence of the habit of carrying
these weapons and the readiness which a
large number of city loungers display in
their use may be traced much of the
crime, accident and disorder that dis
tinguish city annals and'put the life
and limbs or all citizens in peril. There
can be no doubt that if they were ban
ished the police and hospital records
would be greatly shortened and all the
best interests of society censerVed.
It is true that in the enforcement of
this order the mayor is confronted with
the ruling of, we believe, Judge Allisen's
court of quarter sessions of Philadelphia,
that these acts are unconstitutional, se
far as they apply te the carrying of arms
for self-defence, and that it is competent
for the accused te rebut the unlawful
intent raised by the statutory prevision.
That ruling, if we recollect rightly, was
made in the case of a negre who was dis
closed en the witness stand te be carry
ing a concealed revolver. It was at a
time of great excitement and when
many people felt, and encouraged
negrees in Philadelphia te feel,
that their color put them at con
stant risk of assault. Under that
pressure Judge Allisen made this ruling.
If there was any occasion for it, that oc
casion has passed away, and such a re
mark expressed gratuitously at the time,
would hardly be made new, te afford
encouragement te the evil-disposed. The
right te bear arms in self-defence is of
course a natural and constitutional right
which the statute cannot take away,
but few people in Philadelphia or in
any ether part of this state would need
te carry arms in self-defence if all were
stripped of them. It is against the row
dies with their slung-shots and billies,
and dirks and pistols, that decent people
have te arm themselves, and if the for
mer were shorn of their weapons of of
fense, the latter class would be glad te
lay down their defensive equipment, es
pecially as most peaceably disposed peo
ple who have te carry a pistol are in
constant dread of sheeting themselves,
from inexpertness. Moreover, when the
arms are borne in self-defense, that is a
matter of evidence, which can be shown
by testimony. There is nothing in our
stale of society te create a presumption
that a man who carries a pistol carries
it for self-protection. But if he does he
ought te be able te establish it te the
satisfaction of a court and jury. Only
in that case is his constitutional right
invaded by the prohibition. Even then
it is a question whether his theory of
self-defence would net be mere manifest
if he carried his shotgun ever his should
er, or were his dirk in a girdle,
rather than by concealing his weapon
and his purposes.
It is from Wilmington, Del., that the
news comes of an outrage upon a negre
who was made drunk and helpless and
his landlord then for sport, tied his feet
and hands, bound him te a pest by a
rope around his neck, gave hishead, face
and hands a coat of whitewash and re
moving a part of his clothing applied
the lime te his person. The negre was
se stupidly drunk as te be helpless, and
besidps the discomfort his eyes were in
jured by the lime before the coating was
removed by a policeman. The perpetra
tor of this act was a straighteut Re
publican and had been a deputy provost
marshall during the war. We mention
this fact lest Mr. Dawes might get up in
the Senate next year, or Mr. Conkling
should he ever get back and locate this
incident in Mississippi te point the moral
of Democratic depravity in the solid
Seuth.
MINOR TOPICS.
In a recent actual canvass of eighty
towns iu Connecticut, 50,000 people were
found who never attend church.
The American Bible society has pro
cured a step cylinder press, upon which
an entire copy of the Bible can be printed
every minute.
The Oneida community has become se

Mass., has been presented with 810,000 by
Mr. E. Goodnew, for a chime of bells in
memory of his wife, lately deceased, and
an organ in memory of his son who died
some years age.
The question of the proper length of
sermons, it seems, might be settled by
agreement that if a man has anything te
say he should take his time te say it : il he
has nothing te say he should net waste
much of anybody's time ever it.
TnE New Yerk Observer has discovered
that two political societies in New Yerk
have expelled members for being suspect
ed of unsoundness of political faith and
yet it lias ebserved none of the clamor
about " intolerance " which fills the air
when a religious body casts out a heretic.
A ladv in Taunton, Mass., received last
week from Europe a bouquet containing

Dn. W. H. Russell's later letters de
scriptive of the Duke of Sutherland's tour
in America arc devoted "exclusively te the
lawlessness, murders, lynching, itc, iu
the far West. He animadverts severely en
the discreditable- condition in which the
central and state governments are permit
ting many districts in California, Colerado,
Texas and New Mexico te remain. Ad
mitting the peculiar and difficult condi
tions which exists, and fully sensible of
the shortcomings of the British and ether
European governments in the repression
of crime, yet he does net think there is
in any ether part of the world, or ever has
been any civilized country, such sheet
ings, stabbings and murderings, as have
filled these lands. with bloodshed. The
absence of any great abiding movement
for the suppression of violence and law
lessness he says cannot readily be explain
ed or excused,
At least one clergyman in the church
of England has taken a decided stand in
favor of the revised version. Rev. Philip
Hedgland, of Penzance, writes that actual
experience is the only test by which the
work of the revisers should be judged : " I
have se far used the revised version in my
church daily from the first Sunday after
its appearance,' and shall probably con
tinue the use, unless my Diocesan should
forbid it. But, of all things, aa appeal
te the bishops should be avoided. They
cannot conveniently authorize what is un
certain in law, but they can tacitly allow
the use of the revised version, just as they
allow the use of hymns. v And if the clergy
who wish te set before their people the
truest rendering of the original scriptures
will only de their part, net being hindered
by authority, the revised version wiH, if
found worthy, gradually take the place of
the 'Authorized' as the 'Authorized' grad
ually (and probably without formal au
thority) superseded the Bishops' Bible."
PERbONAlj.
Rev. Dr. Leenard Woolsey Bacej?, of
Connecticut, attacks the American Bible
society, and calls it a " fat, overgrown,
lazy monopoly and a public nuisance."
Justice Clifferd, of the United States
supreme court, has had his feet ampu
tated for gangrene, and is as comfertablo
as could be expected. The chances for
his recovery, however, are slim.
Rev. Richard Newton, D. D. has re
signed the rectership of the church of the
Epiphany, Philadelphia, te take effect
after October 1st next, and has been made
Recter Emeritus. Failing health com
pelled him te vacate the place he has held
for nineteen years.
Rev. Henry Highland Garnet, D. D.,
formerly chaplain of the United States army
and for many years pastor of the Shiloh
Presbyterian church in New Yerk city,
has been appointed minister resident and
consul general in Liberia, West Africa.
Mr. Garnet's father and mother were born
in Africa, which leads him te call that
continent his " fatherland and mother
land." His daughter, Mrs. Barboza went
te Liberia a few months since te establish
a school for the education of the native
African girls.

TUE INTELLIGENCE!:."
One WHO la Satlslied With It.
Eds. Intellieencer : I notice that
the Intellieencer and the Philadelphia
Telegraph are at issue regarding the pub
lication of the reports of the doctors hav
ing charge of President Garfield's case.
Bath papers seem te agree upon the fact
that the daily reports of the physicians
contain much that had better remain un
said, and both condemn the official and
officious nastiness of the doctors. The
Telegraph evidently believes, with hun
dreds of thousands of the public, that the
disgusting details of their cliuical prac
tice should net be " dished up " as the
president has himself expressed it for the
people. The analysis of excrement and
secretions may de well enough for a med
ical report (for the books, I mean), but
a report of it through the newspaper
press is nauseous. I think, however, that
the animus of the attack upon you by the
Telegraph is te be found iu the fact that
you cannot see hew the onslaught et the
assassin upon the president can wash
away, or has blotted out and satisfied for
his political sins. If. this be "the head
and front of your " offending " don't
let the matter trouble you, .Yeu have an
immense following. I hope, and se de
you. that the life of the president may be
spared ; that we may be saved from the
curse of Arthur, Conkling, and his puppet
Grant, but it does net fellow that we
should become the adherents of one po
litical heresy te escape another.
We all thank the Intelligencer for its
reproduction, from the New Yerk Sun, of
Mr. Chaunccy F. Black's article upeu
Adams and Jcfferse'n. That is the kind of
rcadingthc young men of our day should
have, in order te a proper understanding
of the radical difference between Federal
ism and Democracy. The young should
have before them every day some lessen
drawn from the history of the past that
they might be saved from the heresies of
the Adams and Hamilton tribe. The ad
dress vef the Hen. Samuel J. Randall at
Dickinsen college is one that cannot be tee
widely circulated or generally read. Give
us mere such things.

twenty buildings were burned, among the
number beta? the United States express
office and two hotels. At one time it was
feared that the Riddell house, the largest
hotel iu the city, would be destroyed. But
the firemen and citizens finally succeeded
in saving it. The less is estimated at
$50,000.
There is a Mermen church in Scranton.
It is net large, but makes up in firmness
what ic lacks in magnitude. The church
was planted twenty years age by a mis
sionary from Wales. It has as complete
an organization as the church at Salt Lake
city, Esdras Hewell having from the be
ginning been Its president. There are but
twelve resident members, and for fear of
awakening opposition no public meetings
are held. The mcctiugs are all piivate
and arc held at the houses of the members.
The Mormons of Scranton do'net practice
polygamy, but send their converts as speed
ily as possible te Utah.
Judge Thayer of Philadelphia says the
business of street cleaning under the scat
tering direction of the beard of health is
a failure, that every beard is a debating
society, that the contract system is an ex
pensive fraud and that the city should
de its work under the supervisien of a
single salaried executive, te be called the
chief of the department of street cleaning,
who can be held responsible for the per
formance of the work and the expenditure
of the money. In the eud it will be found
cheaper aud it is the only way in which
can be restored the reputation for cleanli
ness and health which Philadelphia once
enjoyed.
