LITERARY CHIT.CHAT.

MEssRs. GLENDENNING DAVIS Il AMoRy, Of Wan

a chart, an admirable compendium Of the quota
tons OF the New York Stock Exchange for the last

OF the principal railroad steamship, express and
telegraph shares and their various fluctuations.
The reasons therefor are given IN the shape of
memoranda of the remarkable events which have
attended stock speculations daring the period
named. The compilation has evidently been made
with great care and constitutes probably the most

Prince Arthur OF England says the Paris Journal,

far. His aide -de-camp, Mr.. Lane seeing him strug-

One OF the last public acts OF the late exDuke OF

The Educational Question.

With tomorrow the second week of most
of the schools and colleges throughout the
land will have commenced. We have devoted
some space of late to the consideration of edu-
cational subjects because of the mistakes
which even accomplished teachers constantly
make and of the extent to which an influence
in every way undesirable is making itself
visible in pupils. More than one reference
has been made by us to the errors committed
in the education of eirls-errors, the result Of
which is to fit young ladies principally for the
parlor and drawing room, and to deprive them
of those accomplishments upon which the hap
piness of home greatly depends. Perhaps
Just as great mistakes are made in the educa.
ton of young men. In educating our youth
care is concentrated in the endeavor to give
them the learning of books, and to leave un-
developed those powers which lead man to
think for himself and to become pioneer in
knowledge The present is an age in
which science promises to take a frmer
hold than ever upon the young.
1t is an exceedingly sceptical age,
full of questioning and counter-question-
ing, when traditions are swept aside and old
authorities meet with no more reverence than
is their due. But we still see the instruction
of the young confded to timid intellects,
whose aim seems to be to repress thought
rather than to encourage it. These intellects
dose the youth under their charge with the
formula in books, and do little or nothing fol-
any faculty beyond the memory. few days
ago we expatiated at some length upon this
false tendency, and we attempt nothing more
at present than to reinvite attention to the
point, and to express our conviction that oul
youths and young men will be lacking in thu
noblest virility Of the intellect until they have

drives them only from one shelf in cupboard
to another, from one drawer to another, from
one crack or crevice to another, to return, in
brief period with grand army Of reinforce
ments.
1t is stated that the large number of fur
nished houses to let up town arises from the
fact that their owners have been actually over
whelmed and driven out by these bugs-and
some of the owners consider themselves 'big
bugs" too They are supposed to be partial
to French fats, but this is not so; they
shower their favors alike upon the high and
the low tenement, the rich and the poor.
Being truly democratic, all flats are alike in
their national greed Some of them are quite
large and have wings, and in flying around
it is so pleasant to have them pop into your
face and then drop into the plate of ice cream
of the young lady who is enjoying the luxury
and your pleasant conversation at the same
time
But it is useless to try and make little fun
out of these pests. They are positive and a
growing nuisance almost everywhere in the
city, and whether or not the Croton water or
the Croton pipes or the Croton reservoirs are
to be held responsible for their creation and
propagation, it is certain that any philosopher
who can invent or suggest plan for their
complete humiliation will deserve the thanks
of the community.

Minister OF Spain gives promise of serious

power, remaining, of course, accountable to
the Parliament for his use of the extraordinary

Our Republican Flag in Disfavol
with French Omcials.

with French Officials.
According to the telegram from Paris,
which we published yesterday, the republican
government Of France does not look with
favor upon the United States flag; at least, it
does not like that republican freedom or prin-
ciple of which our flag is the emblem. It was
natural, if not in good taste, for the large
American colony in Paris to be DESTROYS Of
celebrating the anniversary Of the Proclama-
ton Of the French Republic by displaying the
Stars and Stripes. No doubt the qualification
of our American citizens at the payment Of the
indemnity to Germany and the consequent
evacuation of French territory by the Ger
mans had something to do, also, with
the proposed display But the Project
strongly objected" to use the language of
the Geographic despatch, and the Americans
abandoned the idea. What sort of republican
ism is that which cannot endure the sight of
the emblem of liberty, which has f1oated over
happy and prosperous republic for CEN
fury, and which is the flag of one of the fore
most nations OF the world? Is there any
thing in that to demoralize Frenchmen or
dangerous to France? Trifing as this in
cident may seem to some, it is very sig
nifcant, for it tends to show how inimical the
ruling parties in France are to republicanism.
They would, we suppose, if they had the
power, strike the word from their language.
Poor France! We fear she has terrible
ordeal to go through, with the existence Of
such o spirit and her rival factions, before
either the Republic or any other form of gov
eminent can be established.

''NIEncY TO HIM THAT Shows IT.'-A SYM
pathetic lady correspondent sends us a letter,
which we print to-day, on "Stokes and His
Fate" She concludes her argument by de-
claring that the State ought to observe the
rule, "Mercy to him that shows it.. Unfortu-
nately no rule could be worse for her argu-
ment Mercy to him that shows it? What
mercy did Stokes show, that he should be-
come the subject of peculiar clemency? Let

STIRRING THE SOIL.

Stirring the soil during the growing
season cannot be done too often, provided
it is not wet enough to pack. As an an
tidote to droughts it is unrivalled. A man
who can stir the soil every day about his
plants and trees, can virtually defy n
drought. The operation seems to create
moisture, or at least to attract attention
from the subsoil and atmosphere. The
weeds of course have no chance under
such a system, and the moisture they
would require and take goes to q purpose
'.where it will do most good" Horse
culture is the cheapest made, but in gar
dens too small for horse culture, hand
culture must be depended on. The differ
g ence in effect between frequent and occa-
sional stirring will astonish those who
have not before observed it. An instance
was in print some time ago which will il
lustrate it, though, as fact, it may be
mythical. Two neighbors with small
patches of corn got up friendly rivalry
as to which would grow the most per
acre, and put up small wager. One OF
them determined to leave nothing undone
in the way of culture and weed fighting,
hoed his patch once week regularly.
! lie was, after little while, good deal
surprised to notice that his corn was falling
, behind, although he never saw his neigh
Dor at work The latter now, and natur-
ally enough the former. asked show he
did it," volunteering the statement at the
same time that he "hoed his corn every
week until it had tasseled out" The sue
cessful grower replied: 81 hoed mine
every morning before you got out of
doorsr' There was no further need of
explanation.
The man who has plenty of muscle and
time, and a little or no money to expend
on fertilizers, will find that frequent
stirring of the soil win 60 a long way to
supply the absence Of fertilizers. In fact,
culture without manure is worth much
more than manure without culture. When
both can be discreetly applied it is adj
yisable, but when choice must be made,
! shall always choose culture.
