LITERARY EDUCATION.

THESE columns have advocated recently those
forms of education known as ''for business"
and scientific. We speak to-day of that
more general training obtained from a classi-
cal course in good college.
1t would, no doubt, be sheer folly for any
authority to dictate to the American people
what sort of education they wish for their
sons. If the practical needs of the age de-
mand for certain students the omission of
Greek and Latin from the curriculum. and
the substitution therefor of physical science,
or if want of time or of means necessitates
partial courses for other young men who
must go into business, that college is simply
blinded by prejudice which, in the name of
conservatism, refuses to supply these demands,
especially if the interests needing men thus
trained are of any magnitude. But we must
not forget in our haste to furnish what is
popular, that another class of students-the
sons of rich men whose leisure is to be ample.
or prospective students of professions
wish and need the broadest and most liberal
culture possible. Hence, while every chance
is given to those who can stay for the ''half
loaf" only, to those who seek higher educa-
tioh ethl creator opportunities should be
afforded than are now offered anywhere in
this country. The large number of Ameri-
cans who go abroad to study proves that the
wants of our students will not be fully sun.
piled till we have real universities on the
German plan.
The value of extended theoretical inyesti
cations appears clearly when we consider the
capacities of the human mind and the inn
portance of disciplining it to the highest pos
sible point. 1t certainly is worth our while
to develop the material good of earth, but IL
is not all of life. Practical men, in large
numbers, are indispensable; but suppose
their practice had no foundation in theory

TILE KING OF SPAIN.

THE throne Of Spain has now been vacant
about year, and although the country ap-
peared to get along very well for time with
out a king, dissatisfaction with the Provi-
sional Government has been increasing, and
matters have now come to such a pass that
unless something is speedily done to complete
in satisfactory manner the good work CON-
menced by the expulsion of Isabella, the
prospects are that new revolution will be
inaucurated. In the exultation of their new
found liberty, the Spaniards were satisfied
with almost anything, but the dilatory policy
of the men who assumed the responsibilities
of the Government gave ample opportunity
for rival factions 10 organize and assert theil

ENGLISH TEXTILE FACToRIEs.-The inspectors of
factories in Great Britain have just issued their
semi-monthly reports, and the facts therein en-
bodied are of special interest to the propretors and
employees OF the hundreds OF factories scattered
throughout this busy city.
In 1866 the number of cotton factories in the
northern district OF the kingdom was 221O; in 1868
It was 2549; and in this period woolen factories had
increased from 1895 to 1885, worsted factories from
525 to O3; fax factories had decreased from All to
4O5; silk factories had increased from AGO to sol and
new factories, OF description that did not exist at
all In 1885, had been established to the number OF
491 The number OF spindles in these factories has
greatly increased since 1876 as follnws.

LET HIM WTTHDRAw.-The opposition to
the reelection of Colonel Elisha w. Davis to
the Legislature from the Tenth District is SO
strong and so manifest in the ranks of the
Republican party, that it is his duty
to withdraw from the canvass, in order that
candidate may be selected who will command
the votes of all the Republicans in the dis
trict, and thus prevent it from falling into the
hands of the Democracy. Colonel Davis is
well aware that, if he remains in the field, he
will not receive the hearty support of the
Republican party of his district. Many votes
that would be cheerfully cast for almost any
other prominent Republican in the district
will be thrown in favor of his Democratic op-
ponent, in case an independent Republican
candidate is not placed in the field, while
many others will neglect to vote at ALL In
this way the success of the whole City ticket
is imperilled. Colonel Davis claims to be
good Republican, anxious to serve the party
to the extent of his ability. Let him substan-
tate his claim and his professions by remain
ing no longer an impediment to the success
of the Republican ticket throughout the city.

tation was merely guess, based on the fall
of an apple, till Newton's calculations proved
it true for the universe. Suppose man fami-
liar with its effects, would the thousand nice
applications of it that are now directed, nay,
suggested, by calculations of its exact power
under given conditions, have ever been pos
sible? The argument is capable of indefinite
expansion, but enough has been said to make
evident the necessity of preserving q widely
educated class, whose mental discipline shall
be entirely in the direction of abstract study,
and whose aim shall be the development of
poJ7e science
But, further, literature 1--WE take the word
in its fullest sense) is of itself both pleasing
and profitable study. The Sanskrit books
and the cuneiform inscriptions of Chald@a
have both been adduced to prove the an
tiquity of civilization far beyond the CEN
turies commonly assigned to it, Philology,
the historical study of language, offers stores
of valuable knowledge to any one in earnest
and is as yet but in its infancy as regards
certain groups of nations. These studies, 1T
is true, add nothing directly to our money
bags A man may devote his life to them,
and die with not one dollar more year than
he had when he came of age But what life
is nobler for one who inherits wealth
To have contributed a single link to
the great chain of knowledge that binds
the spiritual in man to Him who is an all-wise
spirit, is better than to have built great
houses or laid out vast estates, and neglected
mental culture. We know, of course, that
this life is open but to comparatively few but
these few are more than enough to demand as
ample endowment for literary professorships
as for scientific chairs. The various courses
in our universities should be kept wholly dis
tinct, SO that no students may seek instruc-
ton which they cannot find.
On rich parents devolves the duty of
maintaining this culture in the world. Let
no boy who shows ability of this high order
be sent to count up profits on sugar and mo-
lasses, if ample means are already in the
fathers strong box. Men who must toll for
their daily bread need to be brave indeed if
they will face the self-denials of the poor
students life. Those who already have wealth
for several generations are the destined cru
saders for the recapture of the intellectual
Jerusalem.

The TYRANT LOPEZ has been pushed to the
wall at last. The latest advices from the seat
of war in Paraguay, which appear entirely
worthy of credit, state that Lopez has sus-
tained two overwhelming defeats, and that in
his fight he was forced to abandon his
steamers. Ever since Count d'Eu assumed
command of the Allied armies, the war has
been prosecuted with unusual vigor, although
the clamor for its abandonment has not
ceased in Brazil and the Argentine Republic,
and there is now prospect that it will
speedily be brought to successful close,
