fusion of an incensed rabble that hardly
knew what they were doing.
Our Indians bewailed 40 of their own,
partly dead. partly wounded, among
whom were some of their chiefs and fore
most men. The missionaries on their
part had great cause for grief, losing so
soon the hope which the peace just about
to be concluded had made them con-
ceive, of going to preach the Gospel to
the Nadouossi Besides, they saw them.
selves abandoned by the Indians of the
country, who, fearing lest the Nadouessi,
on seeing their men loiter, might sus.
pect their fate had come to revenge their
dead, dispersed and left the missionaries
exposed to the fury of their enemies
Moreover, besides the daily danger in
which they were of being massacred, not
only at the Sault, but also in all other
places where they were on mission, the
progress which the Gospel began to
make through them was greatly checked
for some time.
God has not failed to derive glory
from those misfortunes, and to make use
OF them both for the salvation of some
souls, and for the showing forth of the
extraordinary effects of His omnipi-
tence for several of those that had
been dangerously wounded asked for
baptism, and having received it, were

The Detroit Post perpetrates the fol
lowing, as the advantage of not knowing
how to spell. 1t must be peculiarl,,
gratifying to the candidates to know
that their constituents were too in
tellieent to give much attention t,
photography.
Speaking of photography, the electors
of Saginaw county seem to have shown
a greater fertility of resource in that
art at the late election than did the
voters of any other county in the State.
According to the official canvass Reuben
w. Andrews, one of the candidates for
Sheriff, had his name spelled in five
different ways, and wrong two hundred
times, while his competitor for the same
Office, Murlin G. Osborn, had five
changes rung on his name, which was
misspelled four hundred and eighty
times George I. Veenhiet, candidate
for County Treasurer, had his name
spelled in five different ways and wrong
five hundred and seven times, while his
competitor, Thomas Il. Mosher, was
spelled in Eve different ways and wrong
three hundred and eighty..wo times
The other candidate Jared nearly as
bad, even Lewis, for Congress, losing
the support of twenty-seven valuable
constituents who took unwa.rantable
liberties with his vowels, changing them
from" ew" to "ou." All the ballots
that were misspelled were thrown out
by the Board of Canvassers, and were,
of course, a dead loss. At moderate
com putation every tenth Saginawlan
marched up to the polls election day
and marched down again for nothing,
Just because he or the clerk didn t
know how to spell. Mr.. Osborn lost
the Sherifalty through a superfuous
de-" and will no doubt never forgive,
to his dying day, the Osborne who first
wrote the family name in that absurd
way. 1t is really a matter of surprise
that Mr.. Rust should not have beaten
Mr.. Webber for Senator with the fearful
odds of two syllables to one in his favor
but to offset this anomaly we note with
satisfaction that the monosyllable Swee,
distanced the dis.syllabic Leonard hand
somely 1t would seem to be the part
of wisdom for canvassers hereafter to
put in the field only such plain men as
John Smith, Peter Funk and d. Dot
and give candidates with long names 6
back seat, at least until there comes q

The true northerner., 1874-11-20

In a discourse remarkable for its
scope and learning before the Yale law
school alumni last week, Judge Edwards
Pierrepont gave his verdict in favor of
large universities over small colleges.
A great university, he said, was the best
place to educate anybody who was to
take part in public affairs, and this
should be kindly told to the noble men
who were giving their substance to en-.
dow small colleges all over the country
The influence of congregated numbers
was essential to the full development of
men The magnetic force was lost in
seclusion and could only come from the
congregation of numbers Contact not
only of mind with mind but of mind
with many minds is essential to perfect
growth. The American artist finds his
genius flag in his solitary home. He
goes to Florence or to Rome, where in
the spirit Of the place, and among an
artistic crowd, he has new inspirations
and capabilities which by himself he
could never attain. Association tends
to culture and advancement ; dispersion
and isolation to barbarism.
There is philosophical reason then
for the establishment of great univer-
sity like that of Michigan. 1t is not
merely that we may boast of its size,
and Of its reputation, but that there
there may be found elements of culture
which cannot in the very nature of the
case be found in small institutions-viz
the large numbers of minds acting upon
and stimulating one another. No corps
ofeminent professors, no equipment of
books and apparatus can supply the
place Of this element of education.
Therefore this State does wisely, and
will do wisely, in sustaining the Univer.
sity and extending its facilities for the
education of all who may desire to
come-Post, June 20, 1874.
BY referring to theIreport of Teach
ers' Institute held at the village of De.
catur, recently, an account of which
was published in these columns, it will
be seen that the State Superintendent
of Education, devoted one evening to
the advocacy of a scheme that has been
on loot for some time, that of excluding
females from the University, and taxing
the State to establish separate institu-
tion wherein they should be taught
small talk, and such like accomplish.
ments. He, like the male students in
the University, think the girls should
not be allowed an equal chance with the
boys for the requirement of solid and
useful education. The University has
been munifcently endowed by the
pcople of the State, and common honesty
and common fairness require that all its
citizens shall enjoy equal facilities in,
and equal rights to all its benefits
without regard to sex or social position.

CHANGE OF GA JGE OF THE
ERIE COMPANIES LINES.

Some time ago the engineers of the
Atlantic and Great Western Rail-
road Company proposed estimates Of
the narrowing of their gauge, but as
the gauge of the Atlantic and Great
Wertern Railroad could not very
we'll be changed, unless the gauge of
the Erie was also changed, it was
resolved to await the results of efforts
then being made to unite the two
roads by means of a lease. This
obstacle has now been removed, and
the only trouble is the lack of funds.
When ex-President Watson, of Erie,
went to England for the purpose of
securing the $4O,000,000 loan. it
was distinctly announced that it was
to be expended in the Improvement
of the road, which, among other
things, was to consist Of the laying
Of third rail, thereby changing the
gauge. If the people across the
ocean refuse the money, it is hard to
say where it's to come from. The
Erie estimates have been made pub
lie, but those of the Atlantic & Great
Western have never appeared.
These latter amount to 81, $50, 900.
The engineers say, in connection
with their estimates, that the Great
Western Company will be able to
spare forty broad-gauge engines,
which. if sold, would bring $500, 200,
and this suggested the fact that the
reduction in.the number of engines
to be changed would reduce the cost
of narrowing tie gauge 100000.

QUEEN VICTORIA AS A
DANCER.

A London correspondent says :
For the first time since her widow
hood the Queen has danced She
gave dance to her servants at Bal
moral the other day, just before her
departure for Windsor, where she
now is and she opened the ball by
dancing with John Brown. AS you
may imagine, this little fact has been
carefully suppressed in the London
papers. [ have often had occasion
to remark that, as rule, the most
interesting news Of the day was that
which was not published in the pa
pers here. The Queen has promoted
John Brown to be an esquire in wait
ing, and her affection for him is be-
ing more and more plainly manifest,
ed. There is no reason to believe
that this attachment is not an inno-
cent one: but people always laugh
when John Brown is mentioned.
Why should they?

THE PRINCE OF WALES A
BANKRUPT---THE COST
OF ROYALTY.

NEW YORK. August 8.-A Lon.
don letter says "a report has sud.
denly gained currency that the long
expected crisis has occurred in the
financial affairs OF the Prince Of
Wales, and that the Ministry have
made up their minds to propose to
the House of Commons, at the next
session to pay his debts. The sum
named is $4,000 sterling, four times
the sum that was voted in 1857 to
appease the creditors of that pattern
OF royalty who alterward became
GeorgelV. About paying the bills
there are certain to be pow erful and
contradictory sentiments, one that
the honor of the nation is concerned
In providing for the debts Of its
future King; the other that these
debts are OF character which ought
to be paid out of the accumulated
fortune of the Queen. The latter
view rests on tho we'll known fact that
the Queen has been receiving, ever
since the. death Of Prince Albert, the
whole of the income calculated at her
accession to support the expenses of
the court in the usual degree of
splendor ; that Her Majesty has,
however, lived during this period, for
the most part, in retirement, and
that the drawing-room Ievees and
other royal pageantry has. in fact
fallen upon the Prince and Princess
Of Wales, whose income has been
unequal to such a burden. The
existing debts, or considerable pert
of them, have, according to this
theory, been incurred in the discharge
of these duties hence it is urged
that the Queen who has had and
kept money given to Der by the
State for such purposes ought to pay
them. The Prince of Wales has

HE history of Pithole, Pa illustrates the rapid
tyWlth which American cities spring into existence
ana the ouickness with which they sometimes dis
appear. One month after the first house had been
built, there was telegraph Office and a hotel,
which had been erected at cost of $4,000. The
next month saw daily paper instituted; another,
and theater was built, quickly followed by an
Academy of Music. Within six months, seventy
four hotels and boarding were in operation,
and the city had population of $4,000. A city
nall was one of the ornaments of the town, and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS were furnishing the place
with water. Hardly had this point of success been
reached, when the Miller Farm pipe was laid. This
enterprise was no less than thetlaying of a tube
for the conveying of oil, thus obviating the slow
and more expensive method of transportation by
horses. This was the death blow; 1000 persons
lost employment, and 1900 houses became tenant,
less. The daily paper ceased, the hotels were
closed and now nine families constitute the pop
ulation, and represent the $4,000 that once made
busy town. There can be no hope for chsnge,
