She had the fine poetic taste, and some of her
verses are familiar as household word,
throughout the country especially the de-
vout and expressive hymn, "Rocked in tn,
Cradle OF the deep" which was actually com-
posed by her during a storm "a sea, and VIII

efforts now being made in our behalf by
those in authority, as well as the kind

pie of this town, who have contributed so
much to our comfort and Of the labors

fore,
Resolved, That, ip our judgment, the
Institutes are great power in the State
for securing uniformity of instruction,
competency of teachers, and the general
improvement of our schools; and, as a
matter of political economy, could not be
discontinued if they cost ten times as much
as they do. O. (

uniform interest in the work Of education

There was quite "ttusse" with

their cannon salutiug their neighbors, as
they were accustomed to do on that day,
but were ovcrtaken by s. Poor with re-
vover, who fired upon them, and then
tried to capture the cannon but failed
We doubt not that other people dislike to
be disturbed, but. as the " Fourth" comes
only once in the year, they think it best
to let the boys enjoy it. We understand
that Poor says he was in sport, but we
think we would hardly care for such sport

War I'm Europe.
week

1t now seems impossible to prevent wal
between the great European powers, grew.
ing out of Spanish affairs.
Napoleon evidently thought that buster
would brighten Bismarck into acquiescence
and so sent sharp notes, recalled the
French ambassador, and in every way
manifested his anger at the proposed
Kingship of Leopold in Spain. Bismarck
replied in bold, manly terms, that thus
far it lad not been an affair in which
Prussia had interested herself, but, if
Spain should elect Leopold and he acc }pt
the crown, he would receive the support
of Prussia.
Napoleon cannot submit to be thus
snubbed, as France, ever quick to resent
an insult, would despise the Emperor
should he allow himself to be thus rebuk-
ed by rival power.
Spain, on the other hand, supported as
she is by other great powers, and having
all the pride of the ancient times, will
not be likely to abandon Leopold on whom
there is greater unity Of sentiment than on
any other man, or plan yet proposed. 1t
therefore seems that nothing but war is
left, and any day may bring to us the
news of war. Should this occur no one
can guess or tell the issue

There is likely to be warm contest
over the Congressional nomination in the
LIST district, but most of the opposition to
Mr. Willard, who has not yet served one
term, seems to come from those who are
not satisfied with his recommendations to
office. The question has been often asked
by outsiders, WHY do they oppose Mr.
Willard ?" The ans wer almost invariably
is,-"He has been unfortunate in his ap.
pointments!" None of his constituents
can say that he has not done well, and all
who have read the Congressional proceed.
ings have seen that Mr.. Willard has
gained a reputation in the House that is
truly enviable, anu should his district not

in the great city instead of the king, that
Kyts had married the Princess; so they
were very angry. and said it was shame
for he was only common fellow, and sent
an army of fifty men, and took the Prin-
cess and shut her up in the tower again,
and sentenced Kyts to be killed.
Every WE'LL" said Kyts, in the midst
of the great hall of justice; sit is all one
to me. If you send me out of one world
l shall go into another"
but this favor will we do you," said
the twesty fierce Lord Mayors, "you may
choose how you will die. Will you be
hanged or poisoned ?"
at really does not make any odds, so
l may as well be poisoned" he said.
Now by this time everybody in the land
had heard about Careless Kyts, and n any
said it was a shame to kill him.
So at night when the soldiers came 10
Kyts with the poison, they felt SO low
spirited that they brought some bottles of
wine to keep them up.
"If you don't mind, we may as well all
have good supper together first, for there
need be no hurry with such caresess fell
low as you"
"With all my heart, for Iwould just as
soon drink wine as poison" answered
Kyts.
But at last there was only one glass of
wine left for each and the glass of poison
for Kyts, and as they all stood up TO drink
this last health, who should come in but
the fercest Lord Mayor to see Kyts' dead
body,
BOUNDS soldiers, you are drinking n'
cried he.
For, as they heard his step, each one
tossed Oft his glass; so there was only
Kyts' glass left on the table.
81 have drank so much wine that l do
not feel thirsty, said Kyts.
"But [ do!' cried the Lord Mayor !;
and he tossed off Kyts' glass and dawn he
fell dead.
after all, would just as soon he died
as me-" said Kyts.
Their, as there was no more poison left,
the soldiers kept kyts prisoner, to know
what the nineteen Lord Mayors would now
like to do.
SO in the mornlug when all the story
was told in the hall of justice, the people
laughedi and clGpped their hands with
might and main, and cried out, "Long
live king Kyts."
So up got Lord Mayor, and said at
is quite plain that Kyts is just the right
sort Of man to be new king for he
would not be proud and obstinate like the
old kings, but would let things 90 their
own way"
"Hooray!" cried the people.
"And as he married the Princess, there
is no one with more right" said another
mayor.
"But, would he want to kill us, or
would he let US live ?" asked another
mayor.
whichever you like" aswered Kyts
sit will make no odds to me-"
And the Princess vas brought back
from the tower, and Kyts and his lovely
bride were crowned and long did they
live without wars, in peace and great
happiness.
81 do not at all mind being king"
said kyts; "for | can be happy every

The public debt statement for July ],
1870, is by far the most notable exhibit
presented by the Treasury Department,
since the close of the late war. Accord.
ing to this authority, the reduction in the
national debt during the month of June
was over $40, 900, 600, and Mr.. Boutwell,
in this calculation makes allowance for
the accrued interest. The reduction in
actual figures, however, is over s28,.
OO0,0 900.
This is most gratifying state of affairs,
and shows we'll for President Grants adj.
ministration among all classes of the PEG.
pie, however much they may differ in re-
gard to its other measures.
The reduction of the debt during the
fiscal year of lS69-70, was SOS, 952, 410.
The coin balance in the Treasury, July /,
was Sll2,776,O4S, against which there
was S34, SAT, 100 of sustaining gold Ger.
tifcates. The currency balance at the
same date was $2S, 945, 067.
From facts and figures like these it is
not difficult to draw the conclusion that
the gradual advance in the price of our
national securities is quite as legitimate
and in perfect harmony with the decline
in gold, the stories and sensational lies OF
the "bears" and other constituencies
