Wednesday Morning, Not. 3, 1875.
The Scientists.
BY E. L. FLABH.
A noble band in search of truth!
And yet in vain they preach,
3 hat man must disbelieve in all
But what his senses teach.
For all the truths that Science shows,
If viewed without pretense,
But tend to prove, beyftud a doubt,
The impotence of sense.
Ten thousand years men saw the sun,
With reverential awe,
Rise up and cross the firmament—
Nor doubted what they saw.
Till Science, by her light revealed
The course the planets run;
And showed the wheeling Earth revolved
Around the steadfast Sun.
It may be, stars we see this night,
Deep in the Heavens glow.
Were sunk in darkness and destroyed,
A thousand years ago.
Yet still they shine—and Science tells
Of rays that pierce the sky.
But why they dart, or why they shine,
Elicits no reply.
They know the laws that govern Life-
Keep order in the skies— ,
But yet the Power that made the Law
They fail to recognize.
They but delude themselves—confound
Achievement with Desire—
And dream they prove the vital spark
{springs from material fire.
Beside the facts, we, too. must know
To read the facts aright;
Nor deem because our eyes are weak,
Beyond their reach is night.
Yet, by that intellect which sprang
From out the dust they say.
They know how far the dog-star shines—
How much the planets weigh.
But even they profess to find,
Within their chosen range.
A thing to build their laith upon—
A Cause which cannot change!
What is this Faith—this Great Unknown—
They delve from out the sod ?
A Molecule serves them for a creed,
An Atom for a God !
lu vain they toil. The Infinite
Baffles the mind and sense;
And Man’s short plummet cannot sound
The depths of Providence.
Oh! bright the triumphs and the gains
Of {Science and of Art;
But brighter far shine Faith and Hope
To cheer the Human Heart!
GERMAN MONUMENTS.
Heinrich Yon Stein.
[Chicago Tribune.]
Germany has taken up the practice
of hero-worship with a vigor that must
warm the cockles of Carlyle’s heart.
The last person to receive a monument
is Heinrich Friedrich Karl, Caron von
Stein, whose statue was unveiled in
Berlin, Tuesday, by the Prince Impe
rial, “Our Fritz.” This eminent states
man, the forerunner of Bismarck,
whose peaceful victories made the
bloody ones of 1866 and 1870 possible,
is little known to-day. He was a great
statesman, not a great fighter. A
blood-stain on the page of history at
tracts more attention than the de
tails of a peaceful revolution. The lat
ter is apt to be by far the more impor
tant, The man who now stands glorified
In bronze, at Berlin, was the author of
what is known to every deep student
of politics as “Stein’s System.” That
system has made Prussia the strongest
power in Europe. The resources of
the Empire rest on the broad found a
tion built up by the reforms devised
and perfected by Stein and his famous
pupil, Hardenberg. The work of the
the two is so intimately associated that
the laws they had passed are usually
spoken of as the Stein-Hardenberg
system. Stein, after an honorable but
subordinate career in politics, was
called to the head of the Prussian min
istry in 1807. The country at that time
was completely in the hands of Napo
leon. The King was obliged to ask
the French Emperor whether he
would approve of this choice. He
graciously assented, for he was igno
rant of the fact that the new min
ister was at heart bitterly hostile to
French supremacy. He learned his
mistake within a year, and his impe
rious mandate to the Prussian ruler
compelled the withdrawal of the Min
ister in November, 1808. Within this
brief twelvemonth, Stein carried some
remarkable reforms, and planned others
which he left to his successor, Har
denberg, to accomplish. Among these
reforms were the abolition of serfage,
the taxation of the nobility, universal
military service, universal education,
and a sweeping land law, which pro
duced as marvelous a change as the
land laws which were born of the
French Revolution. It created the
force of yeomanry, which is now the
strength of Prussia, and the backbone
of aii peaceful government in France.
England had such yeomany once.
Her policy of contracting instead of
dividing her land has changed
her yeomen of the past into the starve
ling paupers of the present. Under
the Prussian system, a tenant-farmer
can buy the laud he tills at a sum equal
to a thirty-year purchase. If he has
not the money, the State gives the
landlord a bond and collects from the
tenant a yearly sum which extinguishes,
within thirty-one years, the principal
and interest of the bond. No one fa
miliar with the economic history of the
k<nd question can doubt that this ex
treme ease of State interference is the
secret of the amazing strength of Prus
sia to-day. It created the common
people, raised them from brutish hew
ers of wood and drawers of water to
men. If the mere catalogue of Stein’s
reforms is so amaziDg, what must the
reforms themselves have been? This
mao’s life was a blessing to the world.
Germany honors herself in honoring
him.
Messrs. Knoop, Hanemann & Cos., of
Charleston, who are among the largest
cotton operators in the South, cleared
there the other day the German steam
ship Berlin, of near 2,400 tons, for Re
val, Russia, with a cargo of 4,805 bales
of upland cotton; weight, 2,136,531
pounds; value, $366,350. This cargo
has been placed on board in quick
time, it being only fourteen days since
the ship’s entrance. The same firm
have also cleared lately at Savannah
the German steamship Baltimore, for
Reval, with 4,370 bales of upland cot
ton ; weight, 2,124,899 pounds; value,
$310,200 ; and also cleared, some weeks
since, at New Orleans, the German
steamship Strasburg, with 5,500 bales
of upland cotton, weight unknown. The
same firm are now loading the Ger
man steamship Kohn, at Savannah.
The Prince of Wales took along thir
teen different remedies for sea sick
ness and twenty-eight looking glasses.
It is probable that he will have a good
time —in fact, he can’t help but have,
with all those mirrors showing off how
nicely his hair is parted in the middle.

Respect old age. If you have a
maiden aunt thirty-three years old,
and she is passing herself off for a girl
of twenty, there is no excuse for you to
expose her. The more you reapeot her
age and keep still about It the more
she will respect you.
A curious basket picnic and ball was
held, recently, in Leavenworth Moun
tain, Colorado. It was held in a sub
terranean chamber, and the cards of
invitation stated that dancing would
be continued until ten boxes of wax
candles had been consumed.
