was the subject tor" discussion at the

lsstdebat‘e held in the Wilton Educa-
tional Institute. The chair was taken
by Prof.J. A. Msscall.’ The negative
side was taken by Messrs. Bart, J. Sher-
iek, Wsssou, Waite, Drumgold, Maus-
fleld, M. Sherick and Jackson Bell,
whilocutho Immense were lie-rt
Benjamin, W. WW If. Wesson,
Howard, Stunnion. Bancroft, Divine
and Gordon.

Mr. Drnmgold opened for the negative
side in anihort, but pithy addross. He

of modern times. mm especially those
of theproseut century. After pointing
out the wonderful progress made on

everyhaud. he pertinently asked what

branded as a madman. but nowadays,”
manycf these apparent impossibilities
have since turned out to be so eminently
anathema and so surprisingly
advantageous, we no longer point the
finger of scorn at the man with a theory,
howeverstartling it mayseeln. ;

Mr. Hart, who supported the same
side,entemd into a long and d tailed
account of sir-vessels. He described
than built by Rufus Porter. Henri
Gifford Dupuy de Lorne and the noted
Tissdudin, who first applied the storage
battery to the propulsion of his ma-
thine. He urged the fact that two
Parisians. Renard and Krebs. had not-

.. recent experiments to steer his vessel
within two points of the compass on
either sideof thewind. lnecnclnsion,

the speaker pointed out that the main
obstacle in the way of air-ships is in
guiding them through the currents of
the air, but after a short time more
there will be no greater difficulty in
accomplishing this than in steering an
ordinary vessel through the currents of
the ocean.

J. 0. Benjamin, replying to the argu-
ments of Mr Waite, discussed the
human intellect, its capacities and
limits. He was ably supported by Mr.
Howard, who made a humorous speech

‘that elicited shouts of laughter from all

assembled. The active brain and pro-
lific immagination of the last named
gentleman had conjured up a host of

'ludicrous and impossible feats which he

mockingly invited his opponents to per-
form. There was quite an outburst of
applause, half derisive, half hearty as
the genial disputsnt sententiously au-
uouuced that he could not agree with
Napoleon in banishing the word “im-
possible" from his dictionary.

After the debate had lasted four hours,
the chairman decided that the steering
of an airship to a practical use was not
beyond the mind of'muu.

A special meeting of the Debating
society held to consider a motion, notice
of which had been previously given by

,Arthur B. Graham. It had reference to

the captains’ choice of the side of the
subject they would take in each debate.
Hitherto this feature has been determin-
ed by chance. and Mr. (lruhum propos-

ed thIt lathe future the choice should

fall to either captain alternately. Mr.
W. Wesson seconded the motion. which

. wasoppoeedby Mr. Hart, modal by

Mr. Waite. 011 a vote being taken, the
proposed was carried by lfro a;
many of the members refraining from
voting.

The next debate will be held on Wed-

The of the Word Resurrection.

The skeptical mind msy frame quer
tions as it will—death sternly refuses
to give it any satisfaction. The love of
money may heap around us mountains of
gold. All this is but to lower the ratio
of that which a man is to that which
he possesses. The fever of self indol-
gence to multiply cur enjoyments. but
each as enjoyment is, for the common
run of men. a new want, and each now
want is a new link in the chainof moral
servitude. a new deduction from our high

prerogative of freedom. Schemes of no
gallon may each for awhile fret and
fume upon the stage of human affairs.
it is death. the great auditor of ac-
counts, that reduces them. one and all.
to their natural and small dimensions.
The present is louder than ever in in
imperious demands, but injured nature
takes it upon her to reply that the pres-
ent is the life of animals. and the fu-
ture is the life of man. In the develop
ment of luxury. we are immeasurably
ahead of the ancient Greek, and we
might have been proportiouably more
scone-fol in abutting off the question-
ings of the soul respecting that which is
to come had not I new voice sounded
forth in the world to proclaim the word
resurrection, aims which it has become
implausible. by any prweu within our
resources, to stifle the lobgiugs of the
human spirit to othln the command of
some instrument for mwuring the fu-
ture which expands before it.-—-Hon. W.
E. Gladstone in North American Be-
view.

One thing wbiub"sldod the storm in
its course of destruction was the valley
which separates north and south St. Louis,
slung which the railroads surfing the
city from the east and west have their
tracks and yards and through which they
have access to the Union station at Twen-
