The Scholar.

Next to Christian, the title scholar is the
highest and noblest that either man or
woman can wear. The Christian scholar
OF the scholar Christian, is the summit Of
human attainment in this present life !;
and that parent who does not prize for his
children elegant, exact and comprehen-
sive scholarship above wealth, personal
beauty or soeial position, or all Of these
combined, errs greatly as to the best inter-
ests and true happiness of his children /;
that there are some parents in Knox
VILE who thus think and feel, L believe {;
that the number is large, L dare not say,
but it is worthy of remark that there is a
considerable number of girls i'll the city
whose plans and standard for their educa-
ton are greatly in advance of those which
have satisfied the ambition of their older
sisters and their mothers.
With youth, as bright and capable as
are to be found anywhere, Knox
Vile has, during the last twenty
years, at least, produced far too few schOl-
arly men or women, those of accomplished
classical literary and scientific education:
And, isolated as we are from other and
with so few examples among us of high
education, its value and dignity has not
been duly felt and appreciated. The great
majority of our youth haye left school or
graduated at an age quite too young, at an
age when the mind had but fairly began
to acquire the habit of habitual thought

gest and use what it had already acquired
in extending its researches in the fields of

knowledge of the usual academic or High

you will have separated these young ladies
for life. by an impossible and ever widen

one of the coming mass of So

from the impulse and inspiration of such
studies will be a growing, thoughtful wo-
man, of solid character and comprehensive
mind, whose manners, bearing and con-
versation in her family, will irresistably
mold and develop the mind and heart of
her children to every possible form of in
tellectual and moral beauty and strength.
There is goodly number of girls in Knox
Vile on the right road to such womanhood.
The greatest danger is that they will stop
at the "half way house, as their mothers
have done before them. A TEACHER.

FoREsTs AND DRoUGHr.-Sardlnia and

suffered the penalty Of their thoughtless-
ness in discriminating their forests. Two
thousand years ago those lands were cele-
hrated for their wonderful productive

was informed by the natives living in the
valleys of Araguay that they had noticed
with great astonishment, that lake
which lay il the middle of the valley
decreased i'll volume every year. The
cause of this is clearly traced to the fell
ing of great number of trees which grow
on the surrounding mountains. In Hun
gary the periodical droughts are univers.
ally attributed to the humiliation OF
forests. In Cairo, Lower Egypt, great
many years ago. rain fell but seldom
only once in three or four years, but
since the time of AIohammea Ali twenty
to thirty millions of trees have been
planted, and the result is now that the
people have from thirty to forty rains
every year. Surely these few OF the
many examples are warnings sufficient
to put us ON our guard.

4 sPEcK OF WAR.

The recent action Of Colonel Mcken-

eountering and giving battle to Kickapoo
Indians sixty or seventy miles from the
American border. in the Mexican State Of
Coahuila, may result i'll declaration OF

have been designed for that express pur-
pose; but it was, nevertheless, justin

CATTLE BUYERs-Within a few days
there has been number of men from n
distance buying cattle in this valley. One
purity from Nevada wishes to purchase
eight hundred head of heifers. They
are wanted for breeding purposes, and
although cattle of that class are cheaper
in Nevada than they are here, still ours
are wanted because of their being better
blood. We hear of one man who sold
one hundred head of cows with calves
for $40 per head. There is probably no
place on the coast where such fine cattle.
either for stock or beef, can be bought
ut such low figures as in Walla Walla
Valley. Fine yearling heifers can be had
for $40 per head, and cows and calves for
$40, with all other classes in proportion.

ing definition may be of interest. In
England they have limited liability act,
by virtue OF which, shareholders in

bility for tn debts of an incorporation
beyond the sam of their shares. \ SIM
liar law exists in many of our States, but
in England 1t Is customary for subscrib-

their subscriptions in installments, and
under the law they are only bound for

in their stock report, as either shows the

The term limited is simply used to
denote that the shareholders of an incor-
poraton are only liable for its debts to
the amount of their upaid subscriptions,
as distinguished from interpretations on
the old individual responsibility plan.
