BESIcIA CoLLEGs.-We invite the at
tan,ion of parents to the advertisement Of
this institution of learning. in another col
umn. This college has a reputation second
to none on the Pacific coast for facilities OF
education in the various branches adapted
to the training and scholarship Of its pu-
pills. The climate of Benicia is peculiarly
adapted to study, never being so warm or
so cold as to produce lassitude /; while in
healthfulness it is undoubtedly not sur
passed in the world. The village is much
like the many quiet villages of the older
States, aud entirely free from those unfa-
vorable influences found in large cities.
For these reasons, we regard Benicia as a
mos, excellent location for the education
Of youth. The year is divided into W
Terms, Of five months or twenty-one
weeks, commencing on the Sd of January
and closing on the 3oth of May and the
goth OF December. A public examination
will close each term. This institution has
now been in successful operation eleven
years. 1t was originally established, and
has so continued, purely as an educational
enterprise, unconnected with any church
or sect.

In Africa, lodges are found in Algeria.
Egypt, Senegal. Senegambia, Guinea, the
Cape Of Good Hope, Mozambique, at St.
Helena, and at the islands of Renmin and

In America the prosperity Of the order
is immense, and there is no State but has

REvERpI JOHNSON announces In q let
ter, dated May 3oth, that shortly before
the close Of the last term Of the U. S.
Supreme Court, it was "well known that
a majority Of the court was Of the opinion
that the Missouri test oath was unconsti-
,%usionsl. because Of. the provision in the
tenth se~c,ion'of the 6rst article of the Con-
s,i,ution Of the United States, providing
that no State shall pass any bill Of attain
der or ez post factO law" He adds:
1t was also known, certainly was known
to me, that the failure to announce the
decision was not because any Of the Judges
constituting the majority then doubted
upon the question, but I suppose that it
was mainly owing to the fact that the
Judge selected to deliver the opinion had
not time before the close Of the term to
prepare such a one as the importance and
gravity of the question required.

Frank Blair.

In introducing Major-G General Frank
Blair to an audience Of four thousand
people, in the city Of St. Joseph, Mo-. on
Wednesday afternoon, June 9th, Mr.. C.
B. Wilkinson made the following very in
teres,ing and eloquent remarks:
FELLOW CITIZENS Two years ago to.
day every man who supported Abraham
Lincoln and his policy was denounced as
q traitor by the extreme Radicals Of North
| Missouri. The Baltimore Convention had
not then met, and Abraham Lincoln, on
the streets of this city, by our member Of
! Congress, wal openly called a "scoundrel'
| and a "traitor-false to freedom, and un-
true to his friends" This cry was taken
| up BY his fawning followers in this dis
tric,, who snapped, and snarled, and BIT
at the heels of every unconditional Union
man in North Missouri, who dared to as
sert q belief in the honesty, integrity, and
patriotism Of President Lincoln. In three
days time, the Baltimore Convention had
nominated for President and Vice. Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson. Instantly, every man who did
not throw up his hat, and swear to vote
for those nominees was dubbed a Copper
head by these same Radicals. 10 swear
by Andrew Johnson then, was absolutely
a requisite Of personal safety in North
Missouri. / supported Mr.. Lincoln, be.
cause I believed he was right. / supported
Andrew Johnson, because I believed he
was right. l still support Andrew john
son. in carrying out the policy adopted
by Mr.. Lincoln, because I conscientiously,
and with a faith which amounts to con
vicaon, believe he is right, and will be
sustained by the people.
1t Is mete and proper that those who
now sustain the policy Of Mr.. Lincoln, as
carried out by President Johnson, should
be denounced as rebels by Drake, and his
satellites, who invoked land finally found)
q Brutus to rid the country of Abraham
Lincoln. It is mete and proper that Gen.
Blair-after assisting Sherman to bore
through the South. with an auger sixty
miles wide. till he struck water at Savan.
nah-should find himself denounced as a
traitor and q Copperhead by these men
who remained at home. reclining on silken
COuCleb, Wulle Iub 1tHeIul was muhluk
forced marches through the swamps and
streams Of Georgia and North Carolina.
These same men denounced him as q
traitor to his country when defending
Senator Benton. When he lifted up his
voice in favor Of emancipating Missouri
from the black incubus which was retard-
ing her in the progress God intended she
should make. Gen. Blair was greeted with
showers Of stale eggs, thrown by these
self-styled brilliant patriots Of 1865. They
denounced him when in company with
the gallant Lyon, he captured Camp Jack.
SON, saved St. Louis. Jefferson City, and
Missouri from the hand Of the destroyer.
Taking his life in his hand, he fought the
enemy on every battlefield, and has well
earned the right to be heard on the great
questions Of Constitutional liberty, now
being ~agitated. He meets his enemies IN
Missouri, and face to face proclaims his
reason for the faith within him.

The FREScH ENPsRoR's SPEEcH.-The
circumstances under which the French
Emperor's speech to the Mayor Of Aux
ere, causing the late panic, became pub
lie are remarkable. The local journal
published at Auxerre does not contain
the speech. merely referring to the Mayor
congra,ulatory address. and stating thai
the Emperor replied in fitting terms Of
acknowledgment. II also appears that
the Emperor's momentous declaration. il
il was actually then made to the Mayor
OF Auxerre, was not heard by those who
were present, and who believed that they
listened to a perfectly Insignificant reply
of the Emperor to the Mayors congratu-
la,ions. It is therefore surmised that,
after making his speech. the Emperor
wrote his reply as published, and for
warded it TO the Moniteur at Paris. II
this be really the case. the published
speech is more significant than ever, as
being the deliberate statement OF the En-
peror that he medi,sted war.

The Boys AND GIRLs.-We see that the
Marshals who were appointed to take the
census of school children In San Francisco
have reported the number of children in
tina, city, of ages ranging from one to
eighteen years, a, 1856. OF these, 1887
are under five years Of age l6,4oo from
1--WE to fifteen years, and the balance from
fifteen to eighteen years-she limit at
which scholars are admitted to the public
schools. Their nativties are as follows I:
Born 10 California, 22,l5o; born in other
States Of the Union, l0,o3l; born in for
eisn countries, l.l35. Exclusive Of the
above are 2ll colored children in the city,
Estimating the population of the city a,
1901 more than one-sixth Of those now
inhabiting the city were born there. If
hi, ratio is kept up throughout the State
California will soon have a native popula-
ton Of her own.
