They take financial events very easily in Mem
phis. When a bank cannot go on it puts bill in
the window stating the fact. The Memphis Bank
having done this, The appeal prints a frst-rate
notice Of the President of the institution Major
Murphy. HE is" says The appeal. "a popular and
highly esteemed gentleman, and we see no reason
why he should be curtailed that ample liberty of
bursting which has been allowed to his predeces-
sors." All The Appeal ventures to say is: We re-
qaire return to legitimate banking" We should
think so.

All here is another of the astonishing young fe-
male farmers-a curly y-haired blonde in Pittsheld,
Mass. She manages farm. plants and digs pota-
toes hoes corn, swing scythe, and is great at
driving horses she feeds the stock, does the dairy
work, and draws the wood in the Winter. Last
week, when the quicksilver was down to zero, this
noble virgin was seen starting for the woods with
her horse and sled "the rosest heariest healthiest
and happiest young woman in Berkshire" 1t is
stated that she is not engaged which demon
srates TO our mind that the Berkshire young gentle
men are sadly deficient in common sagacity.

There seems at last prospect that the claim of
the widow and children of Admiral Dahlgren will
have a hearing in Congress. The Senate has already
passed bill authorizing the Court of Claims to
decide what is honestly duo to the family for the
of the Admirals inventions. 1t will come be-
fore the House. and it is hard to what objection
can be made to it, The nation has used the product
of Dahlgren's labor and genius for twenty years
without penny of compensation. If he had been
private citizen bis children would now possess
colossal fortune. 1t is not fair to rob them simply
because their father was devoted and loyal officer

Why should MT farmers wives attend the meet
ings of Agricultural Societies. From New-Hainp-
shire we learn that it is the custom of thelHlsboro
County Society to invite women to attend the ses-
sions In the same State, the Board Of Agriculture,
which goes about the State holding meetings, al
ways invites women to be present in the evening
and 30 arranges the subjects to present at that
session the most attractive topics for a mixed audi
ence Sometimes women contribute to the interest
of the meetings by reading papers specially prepared
by them. All this, considering how much they have
to do with farmwork, seems natural enough; and it
is strange that the custom is not more general.

most rernorseless bore with equal delight and inn

The worthy President of an Agricultural College
has been talking about novels in the disapproying
way that many good and unimaginative people
think is duty, Most schoolmasters, like good Dr.
Arnold of Rugby. quite get over their rear
of what may chance when fiction and the immature
mind do sweet converse hold. That this particular
teacher thoroughly knows his ground, some OF MS
extraordinary statements lead to doubt For IN
stance we do not think that Tom Brown" teaches
that sports make the model scholar !" or " Wilhelm
Meister' that sbftlesness leads to true culture; :;
or Charles Auchester" that 81 the ballet Is one OF
the pure fine arts :" The Marble Faun' thai SIN
when it iy finished brings forth reformation" All
this our good Agricultural President declares with
confidence and discrimination which hardly even
Gibbon and Greenleaf could have cultivated.

Photographic as an art has just reached new
dignity--it has got Professors chair, and Pro-
fessor TO fill it, The fortunate man is DR.. Vogel
Photographic instructor in the Berlin Royal Indus
trial College. This academic action is very proper
and only just to the profession which is fast growing
in thoroughness and in conscientious zeal for iu-
provement and new discovery. To compare photo
graphs taken in 1863 and in 1873 is the best way in
which to realize what the art is doing for itself.

There is noted revival preacher who is making
a great sensation in Dubuque, his name being the
Rev. E. p. Hammond The ways of this apostle are
eccentric. The other day, he mounted fiery steed
and oanterng through the streets of the city, cried
ont at the top Of his voice, Come to Jesus" This
was way he had of advertising a meeting which
he was about to hold. A few days previously he
made similar sensation by going into rum-shop
and loudly exhorting both the barkeeper and the
boozy TO repentance; but upon this occasion he was
treated with rreverence by the aforesaid barkeeper
who simply asked the reverend gentleman What
he would take.' 1t isn't for us to decideiwhether
people are to be made any religious in this odd
way: but we must own to doubts about it.

After tho important and useful lesson which
Tweod's conviction should touch al political cor
ruptioniats, tho moat valuable feature Of the
verdict in his case is that jury may yet be i'm
pnnelod that combines the intelligence and hon.
eaty to award Justice, even where nrray Of tai
ont aud glamor OF gold are employed to thTarb
it. Tweed Was defended by as ab1o counsel as
influence and money could command, aud it Ia
pretty certain that no legal dovice was left tn

Tweed had money enough to have bought hun
drod dishonest turios. Ho is currently believed
to haye been worth several millions Of dollars,
and all his millions would unquestionab1y have

would have been sufficient to secure Disagree
ment, which WAS all Tweed needed. In not So
curing the partisanship Of q single member Of

ing that juriea cannot always be bought. The

The recent doath Of tho famous navigator,
Robert Mcclure, has revived tho question Of the
discovery Of the Northwest Passage. The obitu-
ary notices which wore published In the English
newspapers very generally conceded the honor
Of tho discovery to Mcclure, Lady franklin
thereupon claimed tho honor for hor husband.
John Philip Cell, a recognized authority, sup
ported her claim, while Sir Aoxanlor Armstrong,
another authority, took the aeld for. Mcclure.
Morris Beaufort the next to enter the lists, urges
that the honor belongs to both. Ho says
"rho geographical problem to- eott1o which
many expeditions had boon sent from this oouu-
try WIS, whothor or not thore was continuous
een from tho Atlantic to the Pacific to
tho north OF the Continent Of America. That
was the long-aought Northwest Passage and.
stated conoiaely, tho solution Of tho two con-
ntoting claims is simply this: Sir ]. Franklin
discovered tho Northwest Passage In 1913; and
rathor more than two years later Sir r. Mcclure
made tho passage by another route. 1nasmuoh,
then, as Sir ]. Franklin had priority Of twc
years, it was he who solved the prob1em-he was
the discoveror OF tho Northwest Passage" The
bulk of tho testimony goes to ahor that the dis
covery was made by both, although Franklin'E
was unquoationably prior to McOlure's. Tht
honor, therefore, will be shared by both.
