l was much pleased upon a similar oc-
casion at West End, to observe, that most
of the "Savants' were present. Whyaso2
Is it because these our friends take no in
terest in such matters? Or is it because the
School is not sufficiently appreciated? We
know from experience that children will
endeavour to excel, when they see that
they have some respectable body to care
for them.
Much praise is due to the teachers, for
their successful training, and without fiat
tering them l repeat, l never saw better
discipline. I hope they will continue to
do well and that the school will prosper.
Rev. Branch delivered a brief; but very
appropriate address after which presents

A FEW HOURS WE'LL SPENT.

| had the pleasure of attending again the
annual examination held at FriedensthaI.
l was happy to mark the progress, which
the children had made during the past
year, in the several branches taught.
The class, was quite at home with its
grammar, both in its definitions and in
their ability to detect and correct false
Syntax. The teacher deserves credit for
his practical mode of imparting instruction.
Geography, applied home was very salts
factory, and also very commendable. We
generally find children well versed on for
eign matters, and very often know nothing
at all about the place where they are born,
or where they live. This arrives from the
fact, that teachers generally go abroad in
search OF facts to illustrate what they are
teaching, when at the same time, so much
is strewn around them. A gentleman, who
was present, expressed his surprise to hear
them solve some difficult question in Mental
Arithmetic, remarking, that he did not
think them so far advanced.
What was most remarkable, was order;
it was supreme. [ have never seen a class
behave better yet; though the examination
was continued consecutively for four hours
without intermission still attention was
maintained, even among the very little
ones to the last. The performance of
different pieces, in which certain boys had
their parts, was remarkably done. In the
piece of the "ChameIeon,'' one little fellow
grew very earnest during the debate on
the whole, they sustained their parts ad-
mirablV and afforded much amusement TO
the audience. I had a peep at the sewing
department, and I am glad to see that they
have also made tolerable improvement in
that useful art.
I regret to notice, that more friends to
the cause Of education were not present.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S SPEECH.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S SPEECH.
die Neue Freje PreSSe-Vienna, Oct. g.
After we have seen this year in Berlin
the Landtag, the North German Reichs-
tag, and the Customs Parliament sitting,
King William now opens the sessions of
the two Houses of the Prussian Parlia-
ment. The Speech from the Throne,
which accompanied this opening is, spite
of the business tone which pervades it, a
note worthy document in many respects,
both by what it says and what it does not
say. By far the greater part of the speech
is occupied with the Bills to be laid be-
fore the House; and these begin with
one which is the confirmation of a fact
Of the highest significance. Notwith-
standing the confidence 10 the maintenance
Of peace, and a plentiful harvest, the ma
tional income is not only not increased,
but, as it appears, much behind the ex-
pectatiOns entertained so that, as the
speech euphemistically expresses it, "the
situation of the finances of the State has
not as yet essentially improved." In the
preceding years, the Royal Speech con-
%tinues, the revenue was below the calcu-
~lations made, and the expenditure ex-
ceeded the budget grants, so that the
Government, on behalf of the income of
the North German Confederation and of
Tightening the burthens of Prussia, was
obliged 10 propose a number of taxation
bills to the Reichstag, which, as is we'll
known, threw them out one after another.
This is the reason, declares the Speech,
why it has been impossible to restore the
equilibrium between income and expen-
diture in the budget for the next year,
and consequently in the third year Of the
existence of Great Prussia the existence
of a considerable deficit is announced to
the national representatives, to cover

| A Mr.. Allen has gathered some interesting
facts from the census of New York. He
SAYS:
| The census of the State of New York for
1865, discloses some curious facts upon this
subject. The methed of taking this census
was different from all others in this respect,
that it was taken by families. The census
reported in 1865 n total of $50, ,93l families
| l96. 500 families living without children, 14S.-
20S with only one child, I40. .472 with two.
and l07 $40 with three children. Here is
almost one-fnurth of all the families in the
State in which not a single child was found;
and in 592, 924 famlies-more than three
fourths-there was, on an average, only a
small fraction over one child to each family.
In answer to the inquiry put to every woman
who was OF had been married, lin all S42.-
562, how many children she had bad. wheth-
er present or absent, living or dead, there
were lis. .652 women vino responded that they
never had bad child, l23, ,3l9 two, and
l0S,3 ,324 thee children. Here we find u.s.
252 women who were or had been married.
almost one-seveth of all-who never bore
single child and 47l.772-more than one-half
of all-whO will average less than one child
| and sevep-tenths to each woman. These fig
uies include both the foreign and American
SiuoSVSs bue u ihi SC FIuU'tttuu dpnlleS tO tue
strictly American. If the law settled bv NOR
tuary statistics, that two-ffths of all children
born die before reaching adult life, be applied
to the above facts. it will appear that on an
average only about one child to each woman
ever reaches mature age--that is, only one
half of the original stock is supplied as far as
these women l.763) are concerned.
The whole population of the State of New
York is composed, in its descent. of such mix
ed races that it is impossible to draw the ex-
act line between what may be considered
American and what foreign but the compil-
er of the census. DR.. Franklin B. IIough, be-
came convinced that there is at the present
time no natural increase in population among
the families descended from the early settlers
Of the State. From an examination Of the
tables in the Census Report this general fact
ia very evident throughout the State, namely,
that the married women of foreign origin
have much the largest families. For instance,
in the county of New York, reporting almost
one-half of its population foreign, we find
this statement: While 965 American women
have each ten children and upward, there
were $3.50 foreign women having each ten
children and upward, making three times as
many.

Coon ENGLIsH.-The ability to speak and
write gno0 English is supposed to be a slight
accomplishment, in as much as it is shared
by so many people. In truth, however, it is
a most rare and difficult one, and it is even
startling to find how those whom we are ac-
customed to consider as models fail in this
particular. The accomplishment ie under
valued, like that of reading well, or is as
sumed to be natural gift, so that cultivation
is almost superhuous. The Dean of Canter-
bury supposed himself to be qualified to write
a treatise on the Queens English," in
which he exposed suncry vulgar errors of
even great writers hnt the Dean himself was
taken to task by Mr.. Moon. who showed
that the former had made shocking havoc
with the language he was presuming to use,
and use critically.
A Mr.. Gould has written a treatise called
'Good English. but certain critics have ap-
peared who are ready to prove that Mr..
Gould English is very bad. Even Lindlay
Murray does not escape censure, inasmuch
as Mr.. Moon shows conclusively that, al
though good grammarian, he did not write
good English, but in practice constantly v:o-
lated his own rules. Mr.. Moon proves be-
yond dispute that the great grammariau
uses plural verb after a subject in the sim
gular. misplaces his adverbs, violates the
rules OF the agreement Of pronouns. and so
on through long list of grammatical. or
rather ungrammatical sins. So celebrated
writer upon the English language as Mr..
George 2. Marsh comes in for verv severe
criticism, and is convicted of divers most in
excusable offenses. Let no one hereafter es-
TEEN it slight or easy attainment to be able
to write English correctly.

A STRANGE AFFAiR-THE GIRL WHO mas
BEEN IN TRANCE TWENTY DAYs.-The Even.
ing WiSconsin of January 81 til says: A num-
ber of our city physicians went out to Bur
lington yesterday, to investigate the case of
child, which for twenty days has been in
trance. The case is pronounced one of the
most remarkable that ever came under the
notice of the medical faculty, and there is lit
tie wonder that it creates something of SEN
sation. In the report of the affair published
in the Wisconsin of yesterday, we had not
sufficient details to explain the case thorough
ly, but are enabled to do so to-day from the
lips of persons who have seen the child.
A little daughter, II years of age, named
Nina. of Christian Rausch, German farm
er, living about II miles from Burlington,
Racine county, in this State, had severe at
tack of measels and diptheria. She had near
lv recovered from these on the Sth day Of
January, when she called her father to her
bedside and told him that she was going to
sleep, and that she should sleep for a long.
long time. She said she would look as though
she was dead, but she would not be dead.
and size made her father promise that he
would not bury her. which promise it may
readily be supposed has been faithfully kept.
Soon after making the request, the child to
all appearances sank quietly and peacefully in
to her fast sleep. By all it was supposed
that Nina vas dead, and the BODY was en-
shrouled and placed in coffin. After the
sleep the body showed no signs of death, ell
though the pulse and heart ceased to perform
their pulsations, and no device could show
that the respiratory organs were in use. The
eyes closed. In this state Nina has lain now
for % days without sign of life and with no
signs Of death. other than sinking of the
cheeks and eyes, which would be natural
with one who had tasted for SO long Pc
riod.
Three days ngo a vein was tapped and
blood flowed as naturally as it would in liv-
ing person. A blister raised on the flesh pre-
cisely as it would on that of one alive. A
neighbor of Mr.. RauSch, told our reporter
that he pressed finger on the hand of the
girl. Her flesh was solid and upon taking
away the finger, the spot was white. In a
few seconds the eelor came again, precisely
as it would ifthe flesh of living person wero.
pressed IN the same manner. Under these
circu instances it is reasonable for the parents
and friends to believe that the child lies in a
trance, and there is little wonder that the
case is attracting so much attention among
the medical faculty. 1t will be watched care
fully to the end, and with interest. A large
number of persons have visited the house of
Mr.. Rapscb. and all express themselves as
lost in wonder and amazement at this strik-
ingly strange affair.

DURING the attack on Fort Donelson, n
Southern hardshell exhorter was holding

that the Lord fought on the side of the South,
and Jehovah was eucamped around about the
Southern army, saving that it was impossible
for the invading Yankees to conquer them.
Just at the close of one of these sentences, a

horseback. and yelled out:

Fashionable Little Sufferers and Foolish
Mothers.

Which reminds me to say that in these cold,
blowy, snowy days, l am panied to see the
efforts of foolish parents to freeze their little
girls. 1t is an outrage. Girls should be
dressed just as comfortably as boys. Ga the
contrary. the poor little shivering things are
sent out into the streets, with their head COM
fortably protected. thick shawls around their
shoulders which comparatively need no pro-
lection. their skirts standing out 1T an angle
Of fortv-fve degrees, and their poor little
drum-Stick legs as unprotected from the blasts
as the legs of turkey hanging in meat
stall. And thus we pack off these little girls
to school, with their big heads to be erammed
fuli oflearning at the expense of their legs,
which, at a tender age, are of more im-
portance than their heads As a general
rule, parents should devote their entire atten-
ton to their little girls legs and let their
heads alone. The heads will take care os
themselves in due time. The legs are helpless
and need looking after. BY taking care of
the heads little girls acquire knowledge,
such as 1t is. of music, drawing, all the mod
ern languages, botany, the use Of the globe,
embroidery, poetry, and in general little of
nothing. and. by neglecting Mt the same time
their legs, they acquire colds, coughs. head
aches, weak backs. pipe-stem legs, hollow
chests, neuralgias and other complaints, which
either send them to Heaven before they ought
to go, to be made into premature angels, or,
If they live to grow up, makes them drag
through a miserable, unhappy, and unheal-
thy life.
And all this time you take your great.
strapping, tough hulks of boys, who are never
cold and are twice as strong and hardy as
your girls, and wrap them up, and fiji them
out in thick woolen trousers and drawers and
l. Il Al.
to be tough, strong men, and these little
wretched artificial feminine creatures don't
grow up at all, or if they do, they develop in
to a sort of human curiosity, far better for
preservation in case Of butterflies than for
contact with the sharp edges Of the world.
If | had absolute power granted me,
would call together every mother in this city,
and would whisper in their ears: "Take
those girls of yours and clothe them properly.
You have no business to embitter their future
lives with the misery of poor health, ard
some of you, | notice, are numbering your
children. 1t is therefore ordered that within
twenty-four hours, every one of these blessed
little girls shall have nice, loose, warm.
woolen garments, her legs protected thorough
ly, and her feet shod with thick, comfortable
shoes, through which dampness will not pene-
trate." And after the twenty-fours, if /
found a little girl running about in any other
| condition, by the Eternal, | would hang the
mother for murder or malicious intent to
kill Chicago Tribune.
