member Of the school committee oi the place
where | lived. In frequent visits to one of
the schools, took notice Of boy whose
clothing was very coarse and showed many
patches, but still was clean aud neat through
out. His habits were remarkably quiet and
orderly, and his manners very correct. His
disposition was evidently generous and kind.
and his temper mild and cheerful, as he min
gled with his schoolmates at play, or Joined
their company on the road.
When last saw him in New England. he
was on his way TO school. His appearance
still bespoke the condition Of his poor and
widowed mother, and his hat was but poor
protection against either sun Or rain but al
passed him, lie lifted Il with an easy but re :
spertlul action, a pleasant smile and cheerful
good morning. which, unC0nsciUusly to him
sell, made Tie noble boy perfect model Of
genuine good manners--hs bow, his smile,
anll heart. When last saw him, thirty years
had passed, and was on visit TO the West.
fbe COY had become distinguished lawyer
aud statesman, but his bow, and his smile,
and his Kind greeting were just the same as
ihes' OF the barefoot boy with the shocking
bad hat.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Herald says that, though diplomati" rules
and perhaps prudential reasons prevent the
State Department from disclosing the ex'
act state Of affairs to the public. yet 1t Is
believed that difficulties may, and probably
will grow out of the dispute between the
United States and England in reference to
the Island of San Juan, or Bellevue, In the
Straits of Juan de Fnca. t is generally
conceded that General Harvey was enutely
right in taking possession of the island for
the protection of United States citizens. and
for the maintenance Of The rights Of his
country 10 the island. under the pakenham
treaty of June l6, 1916. The President
will submit the correspondence to Congress
at the opening Of the session. and will ask
for means and men to enable him to defend
the rights of our country, and uphold the
