A BENEFACToR OF MANKIND. Robert
Dale Owen writes to the New York
Times. In your Yesterdays issue YOU
state that the young king of Siam sis
going about making speeches in praise
of European civilization and modes Of
life" and YOU accept this as zone of the
many tokens, from Arabia to Japan, of
the softening of Asiatic prejudice against
Christian nations" Doubtless true but
the result in this particular case is main
ly, if not wholly, due to the influence of
a lady now living unobtrusively among
us, the author of 'The English Cover
ness at the Siamese Court" The young
king who is now, as the Rangoon Times
has it, "bewitching" his subjects by his
addresses, was daily, throughout five or
six years, the pupil of Mrs. Leonowens.
A few years after she left Siam he came
to the throne, and one of his first acts
was substantially to abolish the system
of slavery, which, from time immemori-
al, had prevailed among the Siamese, a
system in part resembling the serfdOm
of RGSsia-the labOrer attached to the
land, even branded with his owners
mark-in part similar to the ancient
feudal system of personal service.
Siam is remote and little known, and
thus this act of emancipation, though it
manumitted the bondsmen throughout a
nation of fifteen or twenty millions of
people, has attracted but little attention
here. There is probably not one person
in hundred among us who realize the
fact that such an event-one of the land
marks Of civilization brought
about by the quiet teachings of an Eng
lish lady within the walls of a Siamese
harem. There are hundreds less worthy
of the the title than Mrs. Leonowens
who have taken rank among the bene-
factors of mankind

SOME INTERESTING COLLEGE STATS
1Ics.-The bureau of education will

of where the alumni of four of our prin-
cipal colleges were born. OF the 1894
students mentioned in the Yale College
table, more than one-haf We're born in
New England States, nearly one-seyenth
III Massachusetts, and more than one
fifth in New York. Less than one-third
of the whole number were born in Con-
nccticut. Thirty states and territories,
as W. Il as some foreign countries are re-
presented in the catalogue. The alumni
record Of Wesleyan university does not
specify where 234 of the 6S1 graduates
under consideration were born in the
eastern States, and nearly all the rest in
the northern States. Nearly one-slxth
of the number known were born
OF Az known cases, more than
one-haif were born in Connecticut,
another sixth in Massachusetts,, and
more than one-third in New York,
SO that these three States produced two
thirds Of the graduates. OF all the
alumni OF these four New England col
leges, more than twice as many were
born in Massachusetts, as in Connecticut :;
that New hampshire produced more
than Connecticut; that about five
seventies of the whole number We're born
in New England, and nearly one-eighth
in New York. -Four men born in Con-

Boit0r Rutland Herald Your cor
respondents ought not to complain if
there are occasionally some Topographic
cal errors, they should keep in mind
that you are giving the people the latest
news each morning, at an early hour,
that must have been printed during the
night, rendering it more difficult to avoid
mistakes. But when the change of a
term, involves gross absurdity, he can
but ask for correction In the article
over my name, on Saturday, make Mr..
Smith to say, THAT the religion which
dictated a certain bylaw was a different
type from that which once flourished in
India with the Son of God as the Teach
err" The bylaw alluded to would be in
perfect harmony with the religion of
India, for the religion of that country
presents one of the most revolving spec
tacles to be met with on the globe-it is
there, that the son. following the die
tate of his religion, hurries his dying
father to the banks of the Ganges, and
consigns him to a watery grave it is
there, that the mother gives her babe to
the crocodile, and the widow, falls a vol
untary victim on the funeral-pile of her
husband; and the deyotee of that re-
ligion throws himself under the wheels
of the car of judgment. The absurdity
further appears by the aIlusion to the
greats Teacher. What commentator, or
historian ever laid the scene of our
Savior's lab0rs in Indias? no one but in
,Judea-as you will find it upon the
manuscript. RYLAND FLETCHER

THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN Iron REGION
-NEw BED DISCOVERED. The Albany
argus of Monday morning says, that
some months ago Drs. Ferguson and
Moore of Albany, were passing through
the southwest part of the town of Cald-
well, Warren county, in this State, when
their attention was called to peculiar
red formation of rock and soil, covering
a long, irregular bluff. Stopping to ex-
anime they found a large spur, which
seemed broken from the adjacent hills
or LuZerne mountains, separated by a
swamp covered with scrub vine and oak
They brought away some specimens,
which were found to contain hematite,
yielding from forty to fifty per cent. of
pure ore. A careful survey was made
by an experienced miner, which reveal
ed a large vein of rich ore cropping out
on three sides of the mountain, accessi-
bic and very easily worked. A company
was formed consisting of Drs John Fer
guson and Levi Moore of Albany, with
Daniel Ferguson of Luzeme The "old
Chambers farm" and 'mill property" of
over fo1r hundred acres, including this
mountain, and q valuable red sandstone
quarry, has been bought A gang of
miners has gone To work, and buildings
are being erected, and other extensive
preparations made for very extensive
mining operations Several iron men
have examined the ore, and offered TO
contract for all that could be taken out
this year. This ''mine" is eight miles
from Luzarne station on the Saratoga
and Adirondack railroad, and about
three miles southwest of Lake George.

in his left arm and one, also, in the all

Wood gave technical description of the
wound and the process of probing. Col.
Fisk was anxious to have the bullet re-
moved, and desired to take chlorofOrm.
Ordered thirty drops. The wound was
then probed, but the ball was not ex-
tracted, the probing being unable to
find the bullet and it being considered
not advisable to go further. | visited

The District Attorney asked what was
the cause of the Colonels death.
The doctor could account for it in no
other way than that the shock to the
system caused it. He died the Sunday
morning after the shooting. There was
peritonitis, but not enough to cause
death. There was no nourishment given

New YORK, July 2.
In the Stokes trial. to-day, George II.
Smith, Secretary of the Narragansett
Trotting Association, who was about to
leave the city, was allowed to testify on
behalf of the defense, but his evidence
proved to have no bearing on the case.
The medical testimony was resumed.
Dr.. Steele testified that he was present
when Dr. Wood was examining the
wound. Col. Fisk rallied and seemed 70
improve a short time after that. The
cause of his death was the shock from
a pistol ball wound without reference to
the probing or administration of opium
DIR. Thomas Trippler, who was also
present at the examination, deposed that
two ounces of brandyin WATERWAYS given
the dying man. His death was the re-
suit OF shock and was accelerated by
peritonitis. From the very beginning.
his opinion was that Fisk would die.
Both witnesses were cross-eyamined

was truly a Fgood man. His piety
was of simple and unaffected type.
He loved the Lord with all his heart.

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.-A spot al
most as terrible as the prophets valley
of dry bones, lies Just north of the old
Mormon road to California, a region 30
miles long by 80 broad, and surrounded,
except at two points, by inaccessible
mountains 1t is totally devoid of
water and Vegetation, and the shadow of
bird or wild beast never darkens its
white glazing sands. The Kansas Paci-
fic Railroad engineers discovered it, and
also some papers which show the fate of
the lost Montgomery train which came
south from Salt Lake in 1850 guided by
a Mormon When near Deaths Valley
some came to the conclusion that the
Mormons knew nothing about the coun-
try, so they appointed one of their num-
Der a leader, and broke off from the
party The leader turned due west 50

treacherous mirage promised water.
They reached the center but only the
white sands, bounded by scOrChing
peaks, met their gaze Around the val
ley they wandered, and one by one the
men died, and the painting ilocks stretch
ed themselves in death under the hot
sun. Then the children, crying for
water, died at their mothers breasts. and
with swollen tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon after
wagon was abandoned and strong men
tottered and raved and died. After a
weeks wandering a dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow of a
rock in the mountain. 1t lasted but a
short time, when all persisted bnt two,
who escaped out of the valley and fol
lowed the trail of their former compan-
ions. Eighty-seven families, with hun
dreds of animals persisted here, and now,
after twenty-five years, the wagons
stand still complete, the iron work and
tires are bright, and the shriveled skele-
tons lie side by side.-Sprjaafeld Re
