dents Message entire, not that we expect
our readers to he materially edited or en-
lishtcncd by its pcrusal, but as a part Of
the recorded history of the times. 1t
begins with congratulating the people that
U. S. Grant is President, for from this, Of
course, flows all the blessings enumerated
in the first paragraph. 1t closes with stat
ing that its writer could say much more if
he wished to, but concluded he wouldn't.
The other portion arc copied almost verba-
tim from the reports of the several Depart
mcnts, and is therefore but repetition of
their views upon the several questions it Is
their provice to determine. Nobody eau
read it, and imagine he is pcrusing the cf-
fort of statesman. 1t affords a striking
contrast in all this to the clear, logical
statesmau-like message of his immediate
predecessor.

ENGLISH ECCENTRICITIEs.

Grierson certainly knew Englishmen when
he asserted that no land showed such evidences
of individual eccentrlcities as theirs. One man,
whose house is surrounded by most charming
grounds, will not allow single flower brought
inside his house; another will have beautiful
mansion and have "Walk, knave what are you
looking at?" carved over the door; third
will get into railway carriage, and, declaring
it to be damp and drOughty pop red-hannel
night-cap on his head, and gravely wrap his
legs up in the Times supplement; fourth will
die and leave a large fortune to found hOspi
tai for diseased cats or invalid canaries; fifth
will give charwOman all his personal property
upon condition that she dances Scotch jig in
a certain church-yard once every year. An
English Duke is known to have spent f3O,OOO
on the epitaphs and monuments of his dead
dogs. In short, the widest and most incredi-
bic vagaries are practiced by grave lawyers,
dignifed clergymen, distinguished statesmen,
and vast numbers of women, chiefly maiden
ladies, who have no genius to plead IN excuse,
yet do more astonishing things than any set OF
people in the world outside of mad-houses.
How they escape the latter, when they bathe
their poodles i'll perfllmed water, rub them with
a Turkish towel, clean their teeth with teeth
brushes, and set them in high chairs, with nap
kins tucked under their astonished chins and
solemn old buffers to feed them, is mysterious;
but when one hears of household consisting
of an elderly lady, fifteen cats, and the serv-
ants required to take charge of them, one feels
that it is insulting to Dickens Miss Elite to
pronounce her either queer or "datt,' and re-
alizes the trite truth that no fiction could equal
some facts in strangeness.

HuMBOLDT-Among the "reminiscences of
Humboldt, we are told that for many years be-
fore he died he never visited opera orplay, and
was never seen in the public places of amuSe-
ment. In society, which he frequently entered
when young, he never played at cards. He
smoked only at exceptional times, for instance,
when in the tropics, hoping thus to drive away
the mosquitoes. Even in his younger years he
derived no pleasure from smoking. He was
never addicted to snuftaking. Though he
loved to converse with intellectual, educated
ladies' and found great pleasure in their socie
tv none were ever able to make lasting i'm
preston on his heart. He was never married,
and when spoken to on the subject he was ac-
customed to say Il have found no time for 1t.
The brothers Schlangenweit say they never
saw him in any other dress than black dress
coat "The dress coat" he used repeatedly to
say, okingy sis cosmopolitan attire; | can
receive pretentious, powerful prince in it, as
we'll as a modest, notwithstanding student
In the Spanish portrait of him lately exhibited
in Boston he does not wear this garment; but
that portrait was painted before the dress-coat
came into vogue.

A CLERICAL V1ILA1N-Another unworthy
expounder of the Gospel has come to grief in
Illinois. One Isaac B. Smith, of Turner juno
tion, in Kane county, had the misfortune, q
short time ago, of losing his wife under such
circumstances as to attract the attention of the
Grand Jury He upset his buggy in creek
and his wife was drowned, her husband by his
own admission, making no attempt to save her
but going off mile or two to get assistance.
The water was only seventeen inches deep
where she was drowned and this, taken in
connection with tho fact of her life being in
sured by Smith to the tune of about $4,000,
places Mr. Smith in no very enviable position.
The clergy are getting wonderfully demoral-
lied of late, or at least suffers great deal of
odium from the frequent exposure of clerical
villains who are serving the devil in the livery
of heaven.

EXCLUDING THE BIEIE FROM PUBLIC
SCH0oI.S-On the 1St of November the Board
Of Education in Cincinnati took a vote on the
question of excluding the Bible from tie Pub
lie Schools. which proposition was carried.
OF % votes in favor of excluding it, ten were
Republican and twelve Democratic. Two
preachers participated, the Rev, Thomas II,
Nickcrs being the champion OF the party for
exclusion and Rev. A. ID. Mayo, Unitarian
member, was the champion of the party in ia
vor of retaining the Bible This settles the
vexcd question in Cincinnati at least, and very
properly settled it is, as Catholic children could
not, consistently with their religion, attend n
school where the Protestant Bible was used,
and as it is contrary to Democratic theory
that anything should be done in public institu-
tions that would ip any manner initiate against
or interfere with any ones religious opinions
we think that all efforts to give to our public
schools a Sectarian character should be frowned
down, and not only that, but voted down by
all School Trustees and Boards of Education
throughout the country.

CALCULATING INTEREsT.-Two weeks ago we
published short method of computing simple
interest, taken from an exchange. Mr. J, }.
Frayne, Teacher of the District School in this
city, after examining it, has handed us the fol-
lowing, which he thinks is easier and more
simple in its calculation and more satisfactory
to parties when pressed for time:
At 6 per cent. multiply the principal by
one-sixth of the number of days; at 8 per
cent proceed in like manner, and increase the
result obtained one-third; at 10 per cent in
crease it two-thirds. at IL per cent double it.
When the principal contains dollars only,
point off from the right of the product three
places; when it contains dollars and cents.
point off five places; the figures on left OF the
separatrix will be dollars.
Or thus:
When the rate is per cent increase the
principal one-sixth, when per cent. increase
it one-third; when 8 per cent increase it one
half; when 10 per cent increase it two-thirds;
when per cent. decrease it one-sixth, and pro-
ceed as with per cent j. j. FRAYNE.

THE JEWISH BAKONETS IN ENGLAND
There are now four Jewish BarOnets. The
first Jew made Baronet was Sir Isaac Lyon
Goldsmid, who received Baronetcy from Lord
Melbournes Government in 184l. The next
was Sir Moses Montefore, who received his
Barouetcy from the outgoing Conservative
Government of Sir Robert Peel in 1916. Sir
Moses was the first Jewish Knight, his Knight
hood having been conferred in 1887, on the Oc-
casion OF his being one of the Sheriffs of Lon
don, when the then youthful Queen dined with
the Lord Mayor and Corporation on the first
Lord MAYORS Day succeeding her accession
In the same year the Liberal Government of
ord John Russell made Sir Anthony Roths-
child Il Baronet, the Baronetcy having first
been offered to and refused by his eldest broth
er, Baron Lionel de Rothschid. Sir Isaac Ly-
on Goldsmid who, after becoming an English
Baronet was made Baron by the Portuguese
Government and usually adopted the foreign
title ode Goldsmid and de Palmeria) in prefer
cnce to the English designation, was succeeded
by his SON. the present Baronet, Sir Francis
Goldsmith NJ i. Q. C., who, with great good
taste, elected to adopt the English title of Bar
ontt rather than the Portuguese title of Baron.
The fourth Baronet is Sir David Saomons. 1t
is very singular that these four Baronets have
no direct male heirs. Two aro widoWers. EX-
ccpting Sir Moses, whose Knighthood may be
said to have merged in his Baronet age, there
is but one Jewish Knight, Alderman Sir Ben.
amin Phillips. The late great pbilanthropist,
David Sassoon, was a Knight of the Order Of
the Star of India.
