Because I do not live exactly as the rest
of the -world does, because I do not follow
blindly like a sheep, because it is mr habit
to remain in solitude for weeks or even
months is that any reason why they shoulS
term me madman? Do they know why it is
that I live so? Many have asked how I
occupy myself in my solitude. But if they
have sought to know, and I have not chosen
to tell is that, I ask, pood proof that I am
mad?
On the contrary, I maintain that I am a
vise man, thanks to the life which I have
always led, and thanks, especially, to the
idea which I have conceived during that
life. One thine " certain: When this idea
was first born in me, I was very far from
being mad.
I had read much and studied much.
Toward philosophers and their teachings
I was especially attracted. But I do not
like the philosophers of to-day; tlier are
so longer worthy of the name. In order
to conceive s system one must lead a con
templative and solitary lie; a life with
but the one aim. But how arc these condi
tions to be pained i" this restless world,
where tbroucb every pore one absorbs and
breaths distraction?
I determined then to interest myself with
tho ancient philosophers alone, liya lcCnc

Analogy bus furnished mo with im
mediate means for tho exerelss of this now
sanso. I havo remarked that tbo blind
havo an extremely delicate sense of touch,
that the deaf can grasp by means of tho
eyes, by the morcmouts of tho lips, the
words which they cannot hear. Tho con
clusion, therefore, was an easy one. that,
by the atrophy of ono particular sense, tho
other senses profit.
I understood why it was that tho priests
of Iludillu consign themselves in utter soli
tude and silence, to immobility, and to me
they ucrc no longer objects of ridicule.
They seek, in contemplative ecstacy, forgot
fulnesso the active world. Unfortunately,
such ccktacy is only transient and in spito of
their heroism, these motionless philosophers
experience sensation iu the intervals be
tween their cataleptic action. Even sup
posing that such times they were not subject
to indistinct and contused sensations, con
science and reason are still working within
them, and so it is that tbey are perpetually
distracted, it not by the external, at least by
the internal senses. I must discover then
some sUtc in which the mind should be oc
cupied peithcrby sensations, toor by thoughts.
Was such a thiiig possible?
As regards the sensations, yes. Nothing
is easier, when one is gitted with a firm and
resolute will, than to render oneself blind,
deal, or dumb. It is simply a matter of
paralyzing the nerves nothing more. At
any time I could abrogate all mv senses,
preserving only the necessary amonnt of the
sense of touch to enable me to write during
my visions. Thus, nothing would remain
in me but the memorvof sensations, which,
too, would gradually become obliterated and
leave mv mind an unoultured blank.
But as regards tho tbonghts, it is a less
easy matter. To cease from thinking is
not that equivalent to ending one's exist
ence? Yes, iu the vulgar senso of the words,
but not in mine. "What need have I of the
customary modes of thought? "What has
reasoning and nil its methods to do with me?
One must, then, cease to think, or must, at
least, think ns little as possible. To, that
end, to wipe out that difficulty, I soon fouud
n remedv at hand, in the shape of a "fixed
idea." The fixed idea is the atrophy of all
other Ideas to the .benefit of one This
brings me to my system of the atrophy of

means by which he can release me Irom this
contrivance should ho find that I am insen

as evidence that I am acting of my own free

may prove fatal, I have taken the precau

clearly, the history o' my theory. It is for
the same reason that I am now going to
describe my metaphysical contrivance, be
ing most anxious to leave no mystery be

It is a mechanical chair, every part of
which has been made by my own hands.
When I sit down I shall insert my limbs in
cases which shall hold them motionless.
Once seated I shall place my left arm
upon that of the chair, and my head upon
the head rest. In this position I shall open
my mouth, which shall be kept open by a
metal gag covered with gutta percha, so
that, no matter how hard I may bite or
clinch my teeth, my jaw will not be injured.
By the side ot my neek in the interstice
which the opening of my mouth will make,
I shall place the little piece of mechanism
which is intended to produce the nam, and
which consiEts of a drill having a
rapid and continuous motion. This
drill is meant to penetrate into a hol
low tooth, from which I suffer in
such a manner as to bore its way a demi
centimetre during the hour. Another
Eiece of mechanism, placed under my left
and, which will be left free from the wrist
downward, will'cause a roll of paper to re
volve, on which I shall write as fast as
and according to what I see. To counter
act the fear of pain, which is natural in a
man and which miebt prompt me to arrest
the mechanism of the drill, I have arranged
the whole machinery in tho following
manner: A button is placed beside my left
hand, a pressure upon which will set tho
mechanism in motion. I shall be instantly
riveted to tho chain by iron attachments
which will surround my arms and fix my
headj and at the same moment the two
machines will commence to work. Once
started it will bo impossible to stop them.

madman was In his chair. He was dead.
His limbs, convulsed by agony, had twUted
their bonds without beintr nblo to escapo
from them. The wrist of his left hand was
mangled by its iron gantlet, which it had
vainly tried to shake off. The slnows could
be seen, qulto bare, stretohed like a fiddle's
strings. The right arm, from the shoulder
to the elbow, was securely fastened, but.
from the elbow to the wrist, was free; and
the hand, unable to reach the head, clutched
at his breast, which, in the agony, It had
clawed and torn so vigorously that two
twisted fingers were buried to the first joint
in the flesh. The head was thrown back
and supported by the head-rest of the chair,
but the face was horribly contorted. From
the mouth a stream of blood and froth ran
down. The teeth had bitten through the
gutta percha covering and were broken off
in anguished biting of the metal gag.

At Sea, 1890. During the past five
years my vocation has brought me muoh to
sea. Besides a fewJlttle journeying along
the old Acadian shores, Oubaward and
among and about the sunny Bahamas, to the
dreamland Arores Isles and to the steely
coasts of Labrador, this is the beginning of
a seventh round trip to Enrope. As we
passed out of New York harbor, and that
bitter pang one can never down, reaching
not only to those loved behind the disap
pearing shores, but to all things and persons
that make one's own land and kind, thrilled
my heart hurtfully, I could not but reflect:
After all, great as is the ocean travel of to
day, vast and voluminous as are the writer's
logbooks and travelers' tales about it, and
sympathetic as are the pulsings of old At
lantic's activities with th throbbings of in
terior commercial life, yet how few
there are among our Bixty or seventy mill
ions of people who ever saw tho sea;
how few really comprehended what
it was to sail from New York to Liverpool;
and even how few of all thoie millions who
have nearly all their lives resided in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco,
and other great seaport cities, that ever once
saw an ocean steamer, or had the most mea
ger conception of the scenes in their own
ports attendant upon getting away to
Europe, or the strango and wonderful inter
est attaching toordinary life and its environ
ment upon one of the latest built majestio
coursers of the Atlantic. And so I thought,
as I had always kept my eyes and cars open
at sea, I might In ail modesty say something
informing and welcome about the starting
and going to tho Old World, which, because
that going will make of tho one who goes n
better citizen, ought to be every American's
endeavor to effect.

SATURDAY, JULY 12,
Your eyes can make no one's face ont dear
ly. Half a thousand ashore havo pressed
forward to tho bulkheads. You can only
see n mass of moving color, waving searfi
and handkerchiefs, aud some who are reach
ing far and farther out, ns if they must como
to where you are. In a moment more yon
turn away heartsick from It all. Shortly
the pilot is discharged nt Bandy Hook light
ship; and beiore you get through revolving
wild and fanciful plans of escape, the High
lands are flattening down upon the western
horizon, and the great steamship is racing
in her course across the sea.
A LABOE LITTLE WOEM).
After one's steamer is well out of sight of
land your eyes begin to open to the fact that
you are shnt in upon the sea with an extra
ordinarily compact mass of hnminlty.
Think of a little city of 2,000 souls- .within
less than the cubio space comprised in the
dimensions ot; say, 600 feet in length, CO
feet in width and 40 leet in deptbl
And yet you are bnt one individual of
the great number thus strangely environed.
Indeed a great ocean steamer is a large lit
tle world full ot most interesting objects
and activities. To begin with, going either
way during the "season," there is likely to
be 600 cabin passengers. The "steerages"
and "intermediates" will together average
1,000 each way, the "steerages" immensely
preponderating toward New York, and the
"intermediates" crowding the second cabins
to overflowing on the passage to Liverpool.
There are 1,600 in these three classes. Be
side these, the crew numbers more officers,
men and women, than comprise a regular
army regiment and the legitimate attaches
of a post.
In charge of the engines and machinery
are a chief engineer and from 25 to 30 assist
ant engineers, 5 or 6 electricians, 3 or 4
donkeymen, 30 to 35 firemen, and 60 to 60
common firemen. The latter shovel coal
into the furnaces, and their work in hot
weather is something fearful. The head
firemen are called "greasers" and they oil
and clean the machinery; while the donkey
men are foremen in charge of the boilers.
In this class there are also from 60 to 70
trimmers who shovel the coal from the
bunkers into the stoke-hole, In what might
be termed the hotel department of the steam
ship they are from 150 to 200 people em
ployed. PHYSIO BELOW TAB.
There will be a purser, or accountant, and
paymaster, with ono or two assistants; a
surgeon n vcaly medical school graduate,
who'C employment Is an insult to intelli
gent people of standing, and n constant
menace to the health of American and
Ilrltlsh ports and an assistant: a first aud
secoud steward, and a chief stewardess.
Under their supervision about 160 peoplo
distributed according to the cxlgenoles of
tho trip. Thore aro four stewardesses for
the first cabin, two in tho second, nnd one,
an Individual who could out-blackguard a
Oalwity flth wife, for aggression and do
fansa in tho ttoorago.
Thero aro Irom 00 to 60 first-cabin stew
ards, or table wulters, About 20 aro stain
room stewards; tiioro will bo 8 or 10 deck
stewards und porters; a' half dozen are
required to wait on tho offloors and In the
mesiroom; thero will be as many bellboys, or
"boots," all lads In tholr toons, usually
pretty nice llttlo fellows from ltlrlcenhcud
or other ooustwUe suburbs of Liverpool,
Then In eonnoctlon with tho oulsine depart
ment thero will bo 13 to 14 cooks, 10 or 12
Cantryuieu; 3 nr 4 "fleshors" or butchors, 4
alters, two bartenders. 6 or 0 koepors of
shin's stores, and a shin s nrintur. who pre
pares three menu cards daily. That stately
monarch of men, at sea, tho ship's bsrhcr,
must not be forgotten; ho who shaves you
for a quarter, sells you polnterson tho ship's
dally run, iuslsts upon your purehasa of
deck shoes, huts, caps and other uncanny
devices, and at last confides to yon, under
favor of a final generous contribution, tho
names of tho only hotels In all Earopo that
"any sure-enough Amcrioan go'mmen"
would be oaught dead at.
WA1KU A J1IO ITEM.
When ono begins to realize that ho is only
a two-thousandth part of tho total aggregato
huiiiaulty housed between decks upon one
ol tho great Atlautio liners, tbo mutter of
what Is required to provide for tho needs of
tho groat steamship Itself and those of a
small cltylul of people for whom a weak to
a possible two or three weeks' voyage, In the
event of accident, Is really worth an Inquiry.
How many people ever thought of the
stupendous quantities of, aud expenditure
for, the two Items of fresh -water and coal,
required for ono voyage, and then of their
aggregate for a whole year's service. An en
tire interesting artiolo might bo written on
the men and craft engaged in tho ocean sup
ply of fresh water In New York harbor
alone. There oio owned in New York City,
Jersey City and Brooklyn ten large stoam
vessels constantly and solely employed in
this service. Each of theso carries from
5,000 to 25,000 giillons of water. Besides,
there is a fleet of from 25 to 30 single
masted sailing crait in tho same traffic. Tho
water is purchased from the three cities at
an average price of 50 cents per 100 cubio
feet (about 700 gallons), und is sold to
sailing vessels at 1 cent per gallon, and to
steamships for whatever can bo got many
of tho Captains pocketing one-half of the
total bills in rebates but one-fourth of a
cent per gallon is usually secured. Out
going vessels "stock" with from 200 to
1,600 gallons, and the great steamers each
take on 30,000 to 60,000 gallons. Many of
the ocean leviathans load with 3,000 to
3,600 tons of coal for each trip. Averaging
20 crossings per year, the annual power re
quired by one steamship is produced by the
burning of from 78,000 to 01,000 tons of
coal.
A WELL-STOCKED LABDEB.
But aside from these two startling items,
think of the vast stores provided for the
larder of one ocean graybound for a single
passage. Two thousand souls, say COO cabin.
1,000 steerage aud intermediate passengers,
with a crew of 400 souls, will consume, iu
round numbers, 13,000 pounds or beef, 2,000
pounds of corned beef, 7,000 pounds of mut

A Birmingham Preacher Who Declined a
Beat In Parliament.
GLEANIiiGS FE0H OllDfiCH FIELDS
Among the foremost of living preachers is
Dr. E. W. Dales, of Birmingham, Englandl
Dr. Dales succeeded John Angell James,
who, in his day was recognized as the first
of English Non-conformists. The books of
Angell James, notably his "Anxious In
quirer," are among the best known and
and most widely read in the annals of mod
ern Christian literature. In the year 1857,
a year notable in English history as that of
the Sepoy Rebellion, the writer spent a de
lightful week in one of the suburbs 'of
Birmingham with some friends of a common
lineage. During the week he was permitted
to hear addresses from lord John
Eussell, then a member of Pal
merston's Cabinet, and Dr. Livingstone
the African explorer who had just returned
from his first long sojourn in the Dark Con
tinent. On Sunday of that ever memorable
week a visit to John Angell James'
Church in Carr lane was coveted more than
the finest opera. The venerable pastor was
old and feeble, and his quiet talk, as a
father would talk to his children, made an
impression which has not faded, though an
entire generation has passed away since that
time.
In the front pew sat Dr. Livingstone, and
his great work in opening up the Dark Con
tinent was tenderly and quietly referred to
by the venerable castor. The writer sat to
the left of the preacher, and in foil view of
tho African explorer and could distinctly
see the play of his countenance as the min
ister congratulated him for his glorious
work in Africa. A vear or so after Augill
James was laid to his rest, mourned by all
classes at Birmingham, and his works do
follow him. His devoted flock little
dreamed that there could be found a man to
take hit place,
AIT ADLIS ASSISTANT.
Though not able to fix the exact date, It Is
believed that the very summer that Angoll
James welcomed Llvmgstouo his flock np-
fiolutcda committee to wait on tholr bo
wed pastor and advlsa him to saleet a
young colleagtio who might assist him and
lighten his labors at eventide. The old
pastor at once vlsltid Bprlnghill College,
near Birmingham, of which ho had long
been a trustee, and from tho students of
that institution choso as his assistant It.W.
Dales, who for a year or two bicame as
sistant pastor, nnd at the dentil of Angell
Janiot In 1850 was unanimously chosen to
bo his sucoeisor. This position ho has filled
fioin that day to this, and Is now reeognlzed
In all Britain as the loramost preacher in
tho Nonconformist pulpit. A few years
ago an effort was made to take Dr. Dales
from Carr Lane Chapel to a London pulpit.
Theclllzout'of Birmingham, without dis
tinction of olais or ohuroh, bogged him to
remain In the field whero hi began his
labors. The petition was signed by all the
leading Cathnlio priests of the oltv, as well
as all the promlueut l'rotestant clergy men
and tens of thousands of eltlzens.
Frequently Dr. Dales hat beon
solicited to stand for Parliament,
and could at any time In the past score of
years have represented Birmingham as a
parliamentarian if he haa given his con
tent. Ills uniform reply to theso overtures
of admiring frlonds has been that he counted
It greator honor to sorvo the Muster thnn any
nation on earth. The Town Hall of Bir
mingham will hold 7,000 people. At any
time, whon Dr. Dales Is announced to loo
turo in this hall, it is packed, and only those
who arrive early can find setts. He li the
only man who has twice been selcctid to pre
side at the meetings of tho Congregational
Soelety of Great Britain.
John Angell James, in his wonderful ca
reer, did no wiser thing than when he chose
the young student nt Bpring Hill as ono on
whom his mantle should fill.
ANOT1IEII OrtEATPJtr.ACIIEIi.
Among the foremost of living preach
ers, if not tho first, is Btopford Brooke, of
London. Mr. Brooke achieved bis first
fame as the biographer of Frederic Robert
son, of whom he was an ardent disciple. Of
late years he has severed his connection
with the English Established Church and
is now what may be termed Independent
Episcopalian. His church in the West End
of London Is very select. It is the popular
resort of artists and those who follow litera
ture as a profession. Tnough uot enjoying
the popularity of Parker or Spurgeon Mr.
Brooko is recognized bv the educated of
London as the great preacher of the day. A
work of his on English Literature has be
come a textbook in the schools of England.
And his lectures on English poetry are
unsurprased in this liue. Stopford Brooko
affects nothing in the oratorical line. His
pulpit efforts are in the quiet, persuasive
style, which makes no appeal to the emo
tions. He addresses himself to the intellect.
Several volumes of his sermons have been
published, and neither this or any time has
yielded anything purer or grander thau
these unpretentious volumes. Above all
preachers of our day, Mr. Brooke applies
Christianity to modern thongbt and life, and
does it in a way that is intensely fascinat
ing. When Frederic Robertson died, it was
the general view through tho religious world
that the greatest preacher of our times had
passed away, liut his disciple and biog
rapher is now recognized as 'mora than the
equal of his teacher iu powerof illustration
and delineation. The sermons of Stopford
Brooke fairly occupy a place In English
classics.

THE last number of tho ChritUan Union
contains an interesting controversy between J
twotbrothers who occupy a prominent position
In the religious worldnamtly, Lyman and fid
ward Abbott. Tho former It the well-known
successor of Henry Ward lloecher In tho
Plymouth Church and the Chrlr.tan Union.
Edward calls Lyman to tlmo la a thrce-culnmn
article at to heresies 'on the doctrine of the
atonement. In response, the editor beafns an
Interesting fnll-page editorial tn the following
stylet This rtsponse to the criticism furnished
by my brother, and printed on another page,
I am writing under bis roof, where I am his
guest. The fact Is here set down to make It
clear to every reader that, In our case at least,
theological differences, however wide, conflict
ing religions opinions, however earnestly held,
prove no bar to, no break in, mutual sympathy
and affection. A deeper bond than any com
munity of opinion unites us a community of
purpose to learn the truth and to teach It.
A HULTlTtTOK of statements have been pub
lished concerning the Forest Grove Presby
terian Chnrch. many of which aro far from
facts. Rev. John J. Beacoin, pastor of the
chnrph, has the following card In this week's
Hanntr: Tho congregation is not In debt, and
the pastor Is better supported than any minis
ter In the Presbytery In Pittsburg outside of
the city of Pittsburg. During 22 years this
church has never closed a year owing the pastor
one dollar. The congregation has not decided
to bnild a new house of worship for the reason
It does not need one. It has leased for oil and
gas, and received a boons of 12,600. There are
now three wells producing oil on the property,
of which the congregation receives one-sixth
royalty: No. 1 producing 25 barrels daily; No. 2
75, and No. 3, 160. There are two moro being
drilled. It is tn bn honod that the congregation
will havo the erace to dispose of whatever
money may come into Its bands for the glory ol
God and the extension of His kingdom.
The Missionary Field.
The distribution of foreign missionaries in
the chief missionary fields Is repo rted to be as
follows: China has one ordained missionary to
each 733,000 of population; Slam, one to each
000,000; Corea. one to each 500,000; India, one to
each 350,000; Africa, one to each 300.000; Japan,
one to each 215,000; Burmah, one to each 200,000;
Nearly all the missionaries in Africa are
aronnd the coast. In CeDtral Africa and the
Soudan there is as yet only one missionary to
each 5,000,000 people.
The donations to the American Board for
the month of May are S914.E0 smaller than the
same month last year. The logacles are larger
'by t6.805.S7. The increaso In nine months In
donations is 130,602. . and in legacies SV2.973.C9.
Tbe total receipts fornlno months are 1151,
228.31. The total appointments of missionaries
and assistant missionaries since November 1
aro SO 21 men. 33 ladles. Of tbe men fire aro
graduates of Yale, four of Chicago, three of
Oborlin, two of Hartford, ono of Andorer, one
Presbyterian, ono Metbudist, one physician,
two unordalned, ono taking theology under
private Instructor. Micronesia, which baa
been so crippled in Its force by deaths and re
movals, It Is statcd,ts to be reinforced by olorcn

toll-ttalned from frequent trudges through
tho furrows of rleh earth turned up by tho
plow in the great fields of tbo cotton plants
tlous in this seotlon. A brand now helmet
bat in navy blue, which crowns a head well
covered with wool, adds to tho shabby ap
pearance, by its very newness and gloss, of
the garments witn wnicn bis uociy is
clothed.
This is Sam Satan, ono of tho queer char
acters which the onky woods contributu to
tbo floating population of Albany upon Sat
urdays und holiday occasions. Standing in
his bnre feet he measures O feet 0 Inohes In
height. Around his neck, suspended by a
red string, Is hung, for use us well as orna
ment, one of those singular wenpons of de
fonse known as "brass knucks.'' They are
nlokle-plated nnd glisten in the sunlight.
Ho has no necessity for this Instrument of
wnrlare, lor be is mighty In strength nnd
could fi,oor an ox with one well-directed blow
with hli bony fist. Ho can carry four men.
ono on his back, one hold by each arm and
ono by his teeth.
His appetite is enormous. One day the
boys at Alb.iuy testrd his capacity in that
direction. His meal consisted of the follow
ing; Haw beef, 7 pound-; sausjge meat, 2
pounds; whisky, 1 pint; eggs, 28. These
were all devoured with great relinh, and, if
pressed to farther partake, Sam could have
managed to add to his meal considerably.
Occasionally Sam gets to town, where he re
mains two or threo days. Thero Is always a
crowd around him, and he is never happier
than when, at a modern Pan, he plays
upon his pipes, the queer reeds common to
the country darkey of a generation ago. He
is an expert with these instruments of music,
and when seated upon a convenient dry
goods box or office steps he tunes up, he
finds himself instantly the center of an ad

Sam is wellacqualnted with tho haunts
