mind. That first sentence of John Mil
ton, in little tract on Educ ,tion, has a
ring in it which will be heard all along
down the ages &c am long since per-
suaded. that TO do or say aught worth
memory or imitation, no purpose should
sooner move us than simply the love of
God and mankind. The end of learn
ing is to repair the ruins Of our first
parents, by learning to know God Alright,
and out of that knowledge to be like
him. Our youth must proceed, by the
steady pace of learning, onward, till
they have conformed and solidly united
the whole body of their perfected knowl-
edge, like the last embattling of Ro-
man legion" Thus armed for our
work, inspired with this high purpose
against failure and disappointment, we
may be supported by something like
that heroic confidence which sustained
the Divine Singer, when the burden OF
care and danger, of poverty and old age
and blindness pressed him down SO
heavily:
In prophetic dream he saw
The youth unborn. with pious awe.
Imbibe each virtue from his sacred page

canals, thus opening highway for
grain from the Mississippi to the sea.
1t is suggested that we prepare for
war in time of peace by improving our
seacoast defences, and adding to the
strength of the navy. Liberal appro-
priations are recommended for :he latter,
and the President expresses great graft
fication that the horrors of the late panic
were so much mitigated by the employ
ment of several thousand men upon the
new sloops of war now being constructed.
The message recommends legislation
to prevent anarchy in Utah, and also
repeal of the Bankrupt act, at least that
part of il relating to involuntary bank
ruptcy. by means of which careful and
prudent financiers who have undertaken
enterprises of ample magnitude may be
seriously inconvenitnced. .... ...
The President congratulates himself
upon the beneficial results of his Indian
poiiSy, ohu ldNOlo buO ploCIHS VI al LII
dians in the Indian Territory under a
territorial form of government.
Attention is called to the beauty of
the capitol. The very efficient manage
mrnt of the Board of Public Works is
spoken of in high terms, aud liberal
policy is recommended toward the Dis
trict of Columbia. The message con-
cludes with plea for civil service re-
form, recommendation that Colorado
be admitted into the Union, that an ir-
rigating canal be constructed from the
Rocky Mountains to the Missouri river,
and that bills be passed granting gene
raj amnesty, and to better secure civil
rights to the enfranchised slave. . ~
Altogether the message is rather weak
effusion for President. 1t is ram.
bling, disjointed affair, and gives to the
public very little information they did
not possess before. l....

says that there are in the navy 1876 YES

The estimates for the next fiscal year

a heavy sea. The Captain had Just re-

all right. The collision was wholly un-
