The gentleman whose influence in the Navy
Department is worth $4,000 was on the stand
before the Senate Committee investigating the
French Arms sales, yesterday. 1t is quite clear
that, Notwithstanding the confident assertion
that anybody could buy arms who had
the money something else was necessary.
Mr.. A. w. Markley, well-known rail-
road manager, in New-Jersey, says that
he only asked Secretary Robson if
the Navy Department had arms for sale; re-
ceiving an affirmative answer and q sugges-
ton as to how application for their purchase
should be made, he made report and got his
$4,000. And yet the firm which employed
him in this simple but expensive bust
ness are not spendthrifts, but discreet
merchants. This transaction has a bad look
and must be explained. As for the Secretary S
appearance before the House Committee yes
terday, he had no specific charges to answer;
and the complainant must make his charges
good before such debate as that of yesterday
will result in any public benefit. We want
evidence now, not talk.

will shortly be opened. by which the time from
New-York to Vera Cruz and Mexico will be short

Texas Railway is nearly completed to the Red River,
where it will connect with the Texas Central Rail
way, building north from Galveston. The two lines
will come together early in the Summer, and thus
form an unbroken railway route, with Pullman's
hotel and sleeping cars from NewYork to Calves
ton bv way of Chicago or st. Louis. The Galveston

Among the benefits of civilization which
have beer imported into Japan, the Mikado
suddenly finds exposure to assassination. The
sacred person of the spiritual ruler of Japan
has heretofore been so carefully secluded that
life has been burden to him. Now he has
come out of his shell Of divine personality,
and has discovered himself to his subjects as
an ordinary mortal Their "disillusioned i"
reverence has given place to something worse
than disrespect; or, at least this is true of
some of his subjects. TycOons have been muir
dered before now, but Mikados have always
gone to heaven in the regular way.
We know nothing of the actual merits of the
quarrel which agitates the Marine Court, OF
which we have published the news, nor of the
propriety of the action which we are assured
is proposed against Judge Curtis. That official
has promptly, and, as we think, properly, taken
the bull by the horns and demanded an inyes-
tigation, which the Governor is bound in the
public interests to grant, as against those whom
Judge Curtis charges with corruption, although
he declines to do so against Judge Curtis him.
self General corruption has been charged upon
the Marine Court, and the subject seems to be
q very proper one for the attention of the Gov
ernor, for the public is made party to the
issue.

For several years we have offered, in
connection with our own, most of the pub

We cannot offer club rates for the News

FiSk's Funeral.
BRArrLrDoRo, VI, Tuesday, January 9

BRATrLEBoRo, W., Tuesday, January 8.
Not for many month has Bratteboro
seen such gathering of strangers among
her quiet hills as took place, to-day, at
tn, burial of james Fisk, Jr. The crowd
throughout the day has been great, and
the grief coming from those who knew
Risk in in his young days, who, forgetting
his faults, though only of his virtues,
has been apparently deep and genuine.
The influx Of commenced yesterday, the
supposition that the funeral ceremonies
would be conducted with great display
serving to allure some who would not
otherwise have come, but with the excep-
ton of the intimate friends and relatives,
most of the arrivals occurred to-day.
so AT midnight last night the New York
train arrived, belng an hour and half
late, aud bringing the funeral cars with
their load OF weary as well as serrowful
mourpers, together with the officers of the
9th regiment. Most ofthe family mourn
ers were taken to private residences in
the village, but Mrs. Fisk and her friend
Miss Harrod found a place at the Revere
house. When the remains arrived the
crowds eagerly watched every motion,
paying meanwhile esT eeial. attention to
the officers with their gIittoring uniforms.
For long time the crowds fingered
about the Revere, looking into the win
dows of the room in which the coffin had
been placed, and striving to obtain a
glimpse of the dead man, During the
night the remains were laid in state in. a
northwest room Of the hotel, fronting on
Main street, and were surrounded by a
guard of honor, the night being divided
into watches of two hours each, and the
officers keeping vigil by turns. In the
morning the room was open and free to
the friends of the dead man until j |
O'clock and at that hour the remains
we're removed to the Baptist church,

PROPER Books FOR CHILDREN--Chil.
drcn reared among literary surroundings
very early imbibe taste for reading
with some it becomes a passion. They
often devour everything in the shape Of
a juvenile book, and their appetite grows
on what il feeds upon All of us know of
such children the writer has one in mind,
girl, who no matter what may be the
character Of it, scizes upon any new book
with all the eagerness displayed by
miser in clutching at fresh bag of gold.
Then is the critical period in the child's
mental development. Then is the time
parents should exercise the greatest of
care and judgment 1t is within their
power to mould the child's taste either in
right or wrong direction-to make it
fond of real, substantial literature, or of
trashy stuff which dissipates both mind
and energies. When this relish for read
ing begins to manifest ITSELF children
should be supplied at once with the best
Of bcoks-with standard works, volumes,
when they can future years assert with a
feeling of pride that they have real. They
should not be left by parents to persue

to come into their way,
More than half of the so-called Sunday
school books are of a trashy order. Nine-
tenths of the childrens stories, published

and weakening rather than strengthening
to the ehild's intellect. 1t is better for a
juvenile to read nothing than to become
afflicted with a fondness for fash, feeting
stories, written to sell. r
Furthermore, the saving of time is
another point to be looked at. While
your children are wasting their hours over
the miscellaneous books, which, in one
way and another, come into their possess
sion. they might be perusing standard
authors-works which they may not have
time to read in after years Who of us
do not regret that we did not in youth
peruse books which the pressure of busi-
ncss-cares or domestic duties now prevent
US from reading We repeatthen, let pa
rents see to it that their children have
valued instead to trashy books at their
command. If there are no libraries at
hand, economize in other ways and buy
two or more good books week for the

SHEISKAGE OF CoRN.-The New Eng
land Homestead says:-On the ninth Of
last October committee of the Hampden
County Agricultural Society examined a
field of corn, belonging to William Mat
toon Of Springfield. and harvested an
average portion containing two hundred
and sixty.two feet, being ten feet less than
one square rod. The corn was taken to
the agricultural store for safe keeping
and drying. AT the time of harvesting It
weighed forty-fve pounds. Being sus-
pended from the upper part Of the store it
was left until the twenty ninth day of
November, when its weight was thirty. .one
aud one-iourth pounds. 1t was now she'll
ed and cleaned. The result was twenty
two and one-half pounds Of corn. and at
the rate Of sevepty-seven bushels and
thirty-fve pounds per acre. 1t will be
readily observed that the shelled corn
was just one-half the original weight Of
corn and cob. This corn was of the bent
variety but appeared to be well ripened.
We believe it to be quite common to esti-
mate the corn crop by calling seventy
pounds bushel. Had the above named
crop been decided on this basis the result
would have been one hundred and Eve
bushels instead Of seventy-seven." IS
