A lecture committee once urged
Prof. Agassiz to deliver a course of
lectures, on the ground that it would
yield him good sum of money. II
have no time to make money" was the
cool aud startling reply. They were
noble words for our day, when schol-
ars seem as eager as merchants to win
wealth, they proved his devotion to
study and science.
Michael Faraday, who recently died
in England, had similar spirit. He
could have made splendid fortune by
giving advice to practical chemists who
we're making articles for popular use.
But his enthusiasm in scientific study
was so sincere that be would not turn
aside to gain wealth. He was content
to live on moderate salary, giving
himself wholly to scientific pursuits,
rather than to make fortune by sacri-
fcing his valuable time.
This should be the spirit Of every
true scholar. Learning and service to
ones race are far better than wealth.

HOW AGASSIZ LOST SOME UF HIS
FISH SPECIMENS.

Professor Agsssiz has made good
deal Of use of our detention here, gath
ering many valuable specimens here,
and, with bis assistants, especially Dr..
Steiudachner, making very numerous
beautiful antomical preparations of
fresh specimens. An accident exceed
insly vexatious deprived him of some
Of them. He was at the residence g.
a friend in the country, and had spent
a day very successfully in making deli
cate olssections of fresh fish, exposing
internal parts. These prepared fsh
were Immersed IN alcohol, and commit.
ed FOR safe keeping to black scrvent
old and trusted, who was to guard them
sacredly. The next day, when the
Professor asked for them, the grinning
negro showed him the pan in which
they were frying. They had poured
off the alcohol, scaled aud cleaned the
fish, and wero frying them for the Pro.
fessor,s breakfast. Imagine the Pro-.
fessor's grief; imagine tho vexvation Of
the friend, whose faithful servant had
done the irrcparable injury! As 70,
the nogro himself, he, of course
thought he had kept the fish carefully
and put them to their intended use.
What are fish coed for but to eat?

NOT THE LONGEST CASE.

Many of the newspapers referring to
the Tichborne case, speak of it as the
longest trial on record, and of the
speech of the Attorney General in op
position to the claimant as the longest
speech. As matter of history this is
net correct. The trial OF Warren
Hastings upon articles of impeachment
for high crimes and misdemeauors, be-
fore tte British Parliament, was much
longer, and the address of Edmund
Burke, upon presenting the articles Of
impeachment, is probably the longest
legal argument on record. This re-
markab]e trial began by the presenta-
tion Of articles Of impeachment to the
House Of Commons, April 4, 1885,
The answer, reply, rejoiuder, &c., con.
sumed the time until the beginning OF
February, 1888. The trial before the
House of Commons began February l3
1888, and ended March II, 1894. Ed.
mund Burke commenced his opening
speech on the 10th day Of February,
1889, and closed eleven weeks later, on
the 7th day OF May following.

INJURIES TO A LIUN.TAMER.

Philadelphia papers have details of
the horrible injuries sustained Tues.
day afternoon by Joseph Whittle, ion-
tanner in O'Rrien's circus. About five
P. NJ, Whittle entered the cage of a
strange lion and commenced the train
ing exercises, and soon proceeded to
insert his head in the animals mouth.
Suddenly the lion rcared and closed its
jaws upon the man. He screamed
with agony and blood spirited from his
wounds and trickled from the mouth
of the beast, who still maintained its
deadly grip. Whittle used the per-
forming whip with all the energy left
him, and lashed the lion until it re-
leased its hold, and sunk into corner
Of its den, where it lay licking its lips,
and growing. By this time another
attachee had seized a fork, used in
training elephants, and ran to Whites
assistance. This was the opportunity
for his escape, but the trainer, with
reckless courage, determined to ccu-
quer the brute or die, and advancing
upon him, rained upon his head a
shower Of blows With loaded whip.
For while the lion was cowed, but
suddenly launched himself into the
air, and bore the trainer to the earth,
seizing him by the thigh and crush.
ing bones and flesh into jelly
The man with the iron prong goaded
| the animal, and finally drove him off
the PROSTATE White, whom he then
pulled from the cage, through the
sliding iron door. Wbittls is thought
! to be fatally injured.

INDIAN IDOLS IN IOWA.

The Dubuque Times says that at
the base Of what is known as Capitola
Bluff seven miles from Lansing, there
is an Indian idol manufactured out of
the solid rock, which has stood there
no one can tell for how many centuries,
but which must still be removed to
make room for the coming railroad.
At little distance the idol resem.
bles huge bear reposing up its
launches. The strange and uncouth
object is still held in the utmost ven.
GRAFTON by all Indians, and the various
bands, as they pass up and down the
river, invariably stop and endeavor to
propitiate The 'dcl with liberal presents
OF tobacco, Strings Of gaudy- colored
beads, pieces of dry baffalo tongue, &c.
There it sits at the base OF the bluff,
mute and solemn, looking out with ex-
pressionless eyes over the bosom of the
mighty river that murmurs at its feet,
never mourning, never speaking like
another sphynx. The ground Where
on the throne Of the idol reposes is
wauted for the road bed, and the silent
expressionless god, whose brow has
been bathed in the morning sunlight
of so many centuries, must fall. But
at short distance from this is a small.
er idol, which had evidently been
placed on the side Of the blof, but by
some convnlsion of nature was over

the river. During high water it is
completely covered, but in low water

ExPEHsIvE INDIAN 11aHr1ne.

Fighting Indians in Montana is evi-
dently an expensive luxury. The bill
for the expenses Of a battalion of
troops which was raised by the Cover.
nor Of that Territory in 1867, for a
brief Indian campaign, has just been

Inspector General having exami aed
the items, reports some most aston;sh-
ing facts, Among the articles purchas.
ed for the troops we're tobacco at $3.50
per pound, tea $3.50 per pound, dried
apples and peaches 80 cents per pound,
buffalo robes $25, and whisky SIG per
gallon. The cost of food for each
horse was So per day, aod the cost of
clothing for each man $207 besides his
buffalo robe. Before the accounts we're
audited the Inspector General should
not only ascertain what sort of meats
these high priced Caesars fed upon, but
wherewithal they were arrayed. The
regimental apparel Of the late James
F'sk, Jr, on festive days, could hardly
have equalled in gorgeousness the S2O7
suits in which the cavaliers of Montana
chased the unoreechea Iodiaps over
the plains. The Government ought to

A SPRING CAPRICE.
Came your merry laughter falling

Came your merry laughter falling
Musically on mine ear.
As from birds in spring days calling
To their loves, the carols clear;
Came your sweet low laughter pealing
As between seer bcech-leaves stealing
Blows the gentle evening wind.
Game ths richness of your laughter
As song that, brought again,
In the mournful days hereafter,
Bid the dry hca"t melt in rain;
Came its tones, such music making
As when, ranked III merry band,
Curl the crisp waves lightly breaking
On the dull and sullen sand.
Came its liquid murmur clearly
As y fountains music sweet,
That. in the parched desert, dearly
Doth tho tired traveller greet;
Came its cadence lightly spending
Ger my hearts waste, silent ground,
As Ewes silver laugh from Eden
To tho bare, blank world around! :

A Smaller Vote and Greater Majority

The election returDs begin 30 present
curious subject fer Political speculation. Il
seems likely to turn cut that General Grant
notwithstanding bis overwhelming majority
really received fewer votes 10 1872 than in
1868 The negro vote, being now first fully
eouR'ed in presidential election, is Of course
excluded from the comparison.
The population Of The United States must,
have increased nearly three millions in the
last four years asd the full vote which a
presidential election draws out should natural
~ show an increase Of not less THAI eight per
cent. over the vote Of 1865. IT Gen. Grant
we're only relatively as strong as 10 1865 his vote
then should Is eigbtper cent. heavier. But his
maiou;iss are So much increased ia ,Le differ

would seem sure to Re vastly greater. Yetthe
returns tell curiously different story.
In his own State Of Illinois. for example, be-

IN 1868 The official returns are net yet al
