Gnlvefiton is one of tin cities thut are great and unconquerable boxausc ' their citlzena are. Gnlveston has risen superior to Gulf s.orms Just as San Francisco has . (Ken superior to fires und ? urtho.uakes und just as Chicago rose greater thuti ever from its ashes. it. took courage in the beginning to build Gulveston in the sea. It took business courage and enterprise of a high order to make it a world port Then, fifteen years ago came .the ;;i :, hurricane thai demolished the struggling young seaport and drown ed one-fourth of its people. Tho civic spirit wasn't drowned. Oulveaton jerked itself up by Us boot straps spiritually ami physically, it raised "the city Wol and built a great sea wall as a barrier against inunda tion from tropic hurricanes. And j when the great storm came the other day, though there was much damage und some loss of life, most of the wall held and the eity stood. If .it had been destroyed, the peo ple of Galvcaton would have built it again, higher and stronger. A com- ! munity of 40,000 that has created an export business second only to New York's, and greater than that of Iloston, Philadelphia and Bnltimore combined, cant bo subdued by any thing short of annihilation. Fewer accidental electrocutions and more of tho other kind, observes the Ncwberry Observer, would bo well. COPPER AS HARD AS STEEL. One of clvlllza-ttua's lost secrets Is the tempering of copper, or of bronze, which Is copper alloyed with tin. Tho old Greeks and Romans bad swords, knives nnd otlter cutting tools mude of bronze, W ;h as sharp nnd durablo n cutting edge as our finest stool. Somehow tho process was forgotten. Kor centuries modern metallurgists have sought in vain to rediscover it. All our pure copper 'Is so soft as to bo worthless for making tools, and all our bronze is olthcr too soft or too brittle to be serviceable. Now an old village blacksmith In Mllbridge, Me., claims to have solved the problem. According to news dispatches, he has copper knives thr.t will whittle shav ings iroin kiln-dried hickory, a cop pur chisel that cuts mortises In the toughest oak plank and a copper razor thai: the village barber prefers to steel onoB. Walter Fobs, tho discoverer, says he forged the tools from such odd bits of metal ns copper wire, an old cop per kettle and discarded soldering copper from a sardlde cannery. It'a al In the tempering process, he says; and ho boasts '.hat ho can make a cop per file or hand saw or anything else o? any degree of hardness. Tho peculiar merit of copper or bronzo is that U doesn't rust. If it can really be tempered as.Foss says. It Is therefore more valuable than fine steel, and the old blacksmith ought to realize his ambition of "get ting enough out of his discovery to spend his last days without work." The thing >thc?'s worrying us is how aro Oroonvlllo folks, after tho con gressional olootion Tuesday next, go ing to manogo to wait until next sum mer before they have another chance to vote on something. SENTIMENTAL DIPLOMACY. The Pan-American appeal to the Mexican factions has aroused surprise in this country, and even some con demnation, ltecauso of Us mildness. Certainly there is nothing In it to of fend tho Mexican people, or even Car ransa blmatflf, although that emi tablo old gentleman will doubtless pere'ut In annoyance over the pre sumpf.on of the rest of Ute world In venturing to address him at all on the Mexican situation. There is not a threat or a bint of coercion on tho part of the United States or the other countries partici pating In the Joint note. There are no reproaches for the nation or any of Its 1 endors. There 4s merely z friendly expression of sympathy, and of a desire to be of service In ending the conflict. Tho gist of tho note ts the suggestion that any one of the signatory nations will be glsd to serve as an intermediary in 'bringing about a peace conference of tho rival lead ers and helping to arrange for an orderly election and a return to con tltutlonal government. If there Is any way to pacify Mexi co ?h?rt of armed invasion, .that 1b probably the way. At least. It la the best method that our Latin-American friedds and advisers have been able to suggest The manner and phrasing of the note are typically Latin-American. It Is likely that Secretary Lansing had little to do with KS exposition. It bears all the earmarks of having been composed by one of the South Amer icuu dipiomut?, probably written orig inally in Spanish?in which langaugo It wan transmitted to Mexico?und I hen translated into English for American readers. It ia belter calculated to produce a favorable impression on the Mexicans than was (the blunt note of warning sent to the Mexican chieftains by President Wilson three months ago The I^a.tiu nature rebels at direct logic and curt truth, lie must have senti ment and rhetoric in hia state papers. Since everything elae has failed, there's at leant no bann in trying that line of approach. If it fulls, there must be the sterner language of ac tion. IM POUTS AMI ( ATSPAWS, Ever since the war began, American Industries have suffered from depriva tion of certain materials obtainable only from Germany, particularly dyc stuffs and chemicals. In the last few months the lack of them his grown very serious, and manufacturers have been driven to all sorts of expedients to Keep their plants running. Our importers bud bought und paid f.)r the goods thoy needed, but they couldn't get them. The fault seemed to Ho wholly with England. The Ger man producers insisted tnat they were ready to deliver the goods, but the British embargo would not let them through. Nothing baa contributed more than this sl'iuatlon to arouse criticism of Great Brltuln. For mnay weeks American business men. irritated by the conllnuut interference with a harmless nnd necessary Import trade, have been urging the government to Iftko drastic action against Great Brit u'n. And now, the publication of a let ter In the New York World brings nn astonishing revelation. Germany her self seems to have boen deliberately holding back those goods aiming to dose our factories nnd throw tens of tl nunnnds of employees out of work, for the sake of turning American sentiment againpt England. Tue letter, if authentic, was writ tttl In Now York on June 30 by Herr Wnetzoldt. German trade representa tive as a report to Chancellor von rothmann-Hollweg, w'th a copy to Ambassador von Bernatorff. "From a Cerman standpoint," he wrote, "tho pressure on the American government can be strengthened by tho interruption of deliveries from Germany oven If 'the BrltlBh govern ment should permit exceptions. Those shipments especially should be inter rupted which the American industries to badly require; especially chemi cals and dye-stuffs, as also gond.-, which are uBod in tho realm of the flno arts. Tho withholding of goods Is the Rurest means of occasioning the placing before the administration at Washington of American "interests. Thoso protests have the most weight which come from American Industries which employ many workmen." IIa spoko especially of (the excel lent effect produced by the complaint of an American Arm at Washington, that the withholding of dyestuffs would make it necessary to discharge 4.000 workmen. England, of course, shares tin blame. But In spite of Jher unjust and unlawful interference with out legitimate trade, England bR3 been honest. She hasn't, while professing solicitude for our workmen, plotted tc turn them out of theh-.Jobs and make them pull her war chestnuts Out ol tho fire. * COMMUNICATIONS * * Editor of Intelligencer: All or us, have at times, regrets for things .e have done In the past. There are "vain regrets.' It sometimes does one good to fiavo regrets, for It causes one to see his mistaks and he then resolves to do better and make less mistakes. Take for instance the man who drinks and has wrecked bis lifo and homo too. No one can have thoughts equal to his. Some of his regrets are as follows: "Oh! that I had novet formed the habit of drink, ?.nd why was I so foolish as to treat my family so unkindly and thus cause them tc live a wretched life." The children of a drunkard lead a miserable life, and are to be pitied. They cannol help but think of the past which is full of vain regrets. They have never been accustomed to nothing else. Thoro is nothing pleasant for them tc remember. You who profess to be Christian. ar? you doing your duty toward yoni neighbor. Do yon, when they become ill. visit them and carry flowera to I cheer-them?" If you do, why then, you J have no cause to sich and say when Ione of the neighbors dies: "if t had spoken mora kindly to them while 1 had an opportunity, would not be re proached with guilty conscience. So if you wish to live a clean and pare life, always be considerate oi others. \t you have anything to say good about your friends, say It now. Do not delay one moment, for time U swiftly passing, and we will not In here forever. Live that your life might be a bleating to others, ant I when tus Um? arrives for you to en* j tcr that Great iieyoud you will have no vain regrets to worry over. Such I la life and it takes us a life time to learn how to begin to live. "Brown Kyes.," Townvllle, Aug. 18. -o A8 TO A MUH EM UN TS. Edltor Intelligencer: A last weeks pan -r Jmsl picked up showed me a neat little cont.-oversy between a well known divine of An derson and tbo Intcilig nor editor; ; this letter therefore to the county-city I paper Is rather embarassei' iubioun j as to what it wishes to say, disinclin ed in the way in which it wishes to go; but with the blindness of the bat who sees an well in night, and the I upper light of the eagle whose Bight is likened to blidncss, this letter wll liklm around the shadow of the hills and in the ether for mortals to ! breathe glean truths lawful for man j to utter. The controversy or inquisition was amusement for the young and for the I welcome atranger w/. bin our gates; tili; minister of th? gospel maintaining I that amusementB of the type couecrn I cd were wrong, the editor contending I they were right, and betwe n ttie two in the future, the truth floating he I tween heaven and earth is everywhere I available to those who do not put I their headu into the empyrean above nor their feet into the clay beneath. God has mude man dual and for both natureB tho requirements of the I instance lias been preserved and per petuated; and the final day of the ' wolf and the lamb dwelling together shall not be until "the earth shall be full ot the knowledge of the Lord as j the wuters cover the soa." Hut until I then both, singly, shall dwell lawfully I and alone upon this earth and be con sidered perfect In its species. More- ' over, the human cranium according to 1 Gall, Spurzhcim, Lavator, Combe hns I space within its 42 organs for a men tal place where man enjoys?not alone I physically or spiritually but interme I diary; this space in the Tantum is I not among the moral gaus nor I among the animal, hut nmong what I are called the self-perfectlves, these I are as sugar to acids of man's duo I organization; the permanlng of the groups are: ConBtructiveness, ideali ty. Sublimity, Imitation; up to the I present day and among persons of J advanced research, and proclaimed in j Intellectually popular literature this I revelation of the cranium as a scien tific physchology is considered and con.ni I ted. Ti.e true word for this J space in the self-perfectlves of the brain is "Mirthfulness." Does the j Creator find fault with the supreme J creation after nroh ?unclng it' very I good?" Wore musical instruments and I poetic motion, and the Joy that rises I up in tho whole being from dinphrnm I to eyes permitted to exist and exult Just to be broken and dethroned? I When a land is* to be destroyed or I punished scripture tells in various I ways and words that its mirth and I gladness is to be removed. But not mirthfulness is the word |or dissension, but amusements whlch ! ever way they be; dancing, theatre I going, moving pictures," etc. Where can mlrthfulnesa, laughter, diversion. J happy henrtedne'v find an undisturbed home so well as in public amusement centers, not the centers' of resorts I that are under a bushel or under a Ibiish? Where ftotners; fathers and I children cau behold and mingle with I oach other. These are the anti-toxins I of woeful worlds of sorrow, where I men are sane and women safe. The I mad King Richard cry might better I be: my kingdom for a laugh than my I kingdom fov a horse. When the land J ?that is city or country Is deprived I amusing diversions uuch as tho little bom,, dance, tho country or club I dance, the homo theatricals, tho city , I play and opera house, the moving : pictures, thon the mirthfulness lu. the I brain will suffer and starvation of this I preservative In the human composlt I ion will result in business and do i mcBlic loss. .1 Theatricals, moving plcturos, dances , are the work of the organ construc I tlvenesa in the brain. This organ In 'I the self-perfectIve group, and with the : entire group situates side by side with , Itho "intellectual" aud the "spiritual" I assemblage of faculties in the brain. I Again, these are named: Construc ' I ttveness, ideality, sublimity, imitation, mirthful/ess, and these are 'be agen cies that build up the perft :t moral I body so cl >sely associated with tho , temple that Is to bo dedicated to the ? highest. Everything is created for , something. If the mind constructs , for religion alone?this word, religion, which originally does not mean God liness, but an obligation, holding, ' binding to something?If this excru ciatingly zealous adhesion which Is I Joined to one idol, th?n to another, : and in latter days to the ceremonies I prescribed by denominational sec*, and i creed this, which, too often. Is the form of Godliness; it apart from "true * religion" it begins to construct for its bondage ones, it will burn, thurab i screw, blue law. ostracise?and the I end is only on the other side ot the grave; so that the self-perfectly^ness ' must not begin to construct for man ' made religion but for the masse, who I too ofton arj unmade In religion, by I hick ot money or casto or style und , seek all out-doors or indoors for con : solatlon of the head and heart where, t the soul Is hungry or where It la on ' the other hand sin proof b? a true Godliness ot Ii.? own, interpreting un > like Peter that what God hath cleansed must not be called unclean. Sorae j body of course will turn this around . but that Is the business of thumb i screws. . Somebody will say: can you have i a minister, or Godly person go to a , theatre, moving picture, or dance? I 1 would suggest th?zc &re the very per sons who shoula go because these things will not hurt them. But a minister who has used up seven or ! nine years of his Jlfe la preparation r for the Gospel should not frequent .. them, unnecessary pastimes as he has need of all the work he can do In the I pulpit?yet, should he deem it his part , to be in a- place of amusement some , time, he should, like a man who la I j sometimes in water bo ?Ma to oomo Like other good things, this sale cannot last forever; we are now entering the last lap. But those of you who are keen for saving money will get here before it's over, we're sure of that.

" T4? StaM toUh a Graduer out unhurt and should It be In his part as partner lu a dance to hold a lady's hand, place his Angers on her shoulder or waist line without sin ning he should not be in the pulpit. In addition to construction on relig ion alone, should he construct on in tellect alone? This will make his acep tlcle. Should ho construct on morality, alone? Tills will make him hereti cal, rejecting the atonement. Should he construct on the animal propensi ties alone? ThiB will make him beast ly; so that nothing is left for the fine organs of self-perfoctivenoss but t? construct for themselves, a mlrthful ness, a species Of happiness that is not religious,. moral, Intellectual or animal but partaking of all and of all combined, with the needs of bodily chungo or diversion included. All of these condemnations which might be quoted from scripture against the functions of mirthfulnesB arc pitched against conditions arising from abuses of the blessings of God inhering in laughter, and moral joy, and as truly is the misuse of religion at the expense of pleasure a short coming, as the misuse of pleasure at the expense of religion. Either the deflections embraces the Law of Di minishing Returns, or as, too far east is we3t. The straight and narrow way between u?d two is the road build ing up both body and sou!, not as ene mies to each other but as one in the meaning of the Creator, and in this light as the wheat and tares growing together, eacu In some omnlccnt way dependant upon the other op posite, a communion of saints would be' formed, neither of which would elect to cast a Btone at the head of the other. Rebecca R. Lee. CARD OF THANKS.
