of this sort occurred at the German
town Academy. At that time it was a
great thing to be trustee, and some
of the chosen ones were scarcely as

more comfortable to be. During an IN
spection of committee one ofthe trus-

handed it to him upside-down. and the
trustee so held it and appeared to give
it the closest attention while the boy

men are particularly addicted. Oh,
what a blessing is merry, cheerful

spirits are not affected by wet days, or
little disappointments, or whose milk of
human kindness does not sour in the

The London Daily NeUs says: A ro-
nance in real life came before the Court
Queens Bench recently. About four
teen years ago young lady. who has
since attained fame at both sides Of the
Atlantic on the operate boards, made
the acquaintance in Italy Of a gentle
man who was then. as he is now. pro-
fessional Of some celebrity. She was
not aware that he was married man,
and the result of their acquaintance
was that they lived together until
within the past few months. when she
quilted his house and became the
wife Of gentleman Of consider
able means. who is not very long
out of his teens. In quitting the house
of her former flame she left behind her
daughter Il years Of age, whom she
now invoked the aid of the law to re-
store to her. The parties whose names
did not publicly transpire, were each
represented by counsel and did not

! fore deciding whether hdbeds corpus
should be granted Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn suggested that the child
should be sent for, adding. however.
that the officer of the court should
fetch her. and that she should not be
informed for what purpose her presence
was required. After an interval Of an
hour the young lady was brought into
court. She was dressed with studied
simplicity, and appeared not a little
surprised at finding herself among a
number of gentlemen in the wigs and
gowns which barristers may not

ARE REPUBLICANS FOR INFLA-

The Chicago Inter Ocean stoutly main
tains that it was right in Its assertion
that the Republican party is opposed to
the resumption of specie payments, and
explains that by the party it means
"the masses constituting Its member

elections were due to the fact that Con-
gress, last winter. adopted course which
was ian earnest of future attempts to
force hard money theories. which course
the Republican party refuses to sustain.
1t thinks some of the leaders of the par

and no longer represent them. We can
not, of course, speak with confidence re-
garding the position of the masses con-

that hereabouts they have an abiding
faith in a sound currency. based on spe-
Gle, and scarcely corporal's guard be-

be got together to elamor for imitation.
There is general intelligence diffused
from our centres Of study and our cote

a right instinct on the subject, which

The Board Of Education has been de-
stroyed by the legislature, and a State
Superintendent of Schools is to take its
place. So great had become the antipa-
thy against Secretary French, that it
was deemed best to put an end to him,
so far as this Office was concerned, if it
required the destruction of the Board
that had power to retain him. Mr.. French
was not successful in convincing the
committee on education that he had been
honorable in his dealings with the state.
and that committee would not endorse
him. The State Superintendent is del
egated with powers sufficient to do near
ly all that the Board has done. and the
school interest may not suffer by the
change.
If Mr.. French was using his Office for
mercenary objects, he has been dealt
with none too harshly; if he is innocent
no one wishes to speak i'll of him. The

LEGISLATIVE.

The time for final adjournment Of the

morning last, but it was found that the
business Of the session could not be prop
erly considered and completed, and the
time was put off until Wednesday morn
ing Of this week. Among the matters
of most Importance that came up last
week, were the attempted passage Of a
bill, which appointed set of commits
sioners to adjust fre1ghts on one of the
railroads in the western part of the state.
This measure came very near being pass
ed In the House, but was lost. 1t SEEM
ed to be a reasonable proposition, but it
met with much opposition. A bill to tax
railroads went through the House. The
local questions in relation to the change
of shire in Orleans county. and the max
ing of new county, which should en-
brace portion of each Of the counties,
Windsor and WiDdham, consumed much

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There are eroakers who predict a con-
tinuence Of dull times for an indefinite
period to come. They say that prices
have been unnaturally inf ated and bus
mess abnormally extended under the
stimulus of redundant currency, and We
are now suffering frem reaction which
will continue until matters are brought
to a normal condition. Prices must
come down still more, operations must
be contracted into closer limits, and IN
til the minimum is reached and specie
basis attained, We cannot hope. 1t ap-
pears to US that these people base their
predictions too much on theoretical con-
siderations and take too gloomy view
of the prospects. There is pretty gen.
eral feeling of confidence in the ability
of the country. with Its vast resources
and uneonquerable energy, to shoulder
Its financial burdens and 90 on to great
er prosperity than it has ever yet had.
There is little fear that our currency is
to be chcapened any further, and, with
growing interests and demands for money
it may be brought up to point at which
redemption will be easy. There is to be
more work done, more demand for labor
and capital in this country in the near
future than ever before, and there is no
cause for despodcney.
All that is needed is confidence, and
there are evidences that that is very
generally felt. Reports come from all
parts of the country that there is :
demand for money, and signs of renewed
activity in all branches of business
Let the wheels get fairly IN motion agar
and matters will 60 ON briskly and hope
fully. In this city, in many branches
of retail trade. there is more bushes;
done than there has been for some tim,
, before The demand, too, is for a elias:
of goods which shows that people do no
feel the necessity for rigid retrench
/ ment We believe that the lowest poin
. has been reached, and that the tide
| on the rise. Every Indication points il
e that direction, and though the time
e will doubtless not be brisk for some tim
b to come, We can look for a gradual i'm
t provement which Is really better than
6 sudden start that would be followed
another reaction.-BoStoR GLobs.

to us that so far as the popular dissatls-
faction which led to the defeat of the
Republican party had Its origin in the
financial situation at all. 1t was but a
vague feeling that things are wrong and
should be remedied. The people of the
West do not seem to have any clear no
ton as to what the remedy should be,
but they wish something to be done
which viii give them relief. Some fam
cy that more greenbacks viii do 1t; 9TH
ers believe specie payments would make
everything right. but still more ofdhem
do not know precisely what they want,
but look to those in power to devise the
proper measure. Finding that relief
does not come, they lose confidence and
desire change of men.
What the Inter-0cean means by GER
tain leaders drifting away from the peo-
pie We do not understand. Certain it is
that belief in an irredeemable currency
or opposition to specie resumption has
not been Republican doctrine in the past
if the declarations Of conventions and
the resolutions of Congress mean any,
thing, Ali the drifting has been done
by those who oppose specie payments,
and whether enough Republicans have
drifted to that perilous position to make
it the policy Of the party is the question
to be answered. AS We said. the other
day. it Is very Important to have this
question decided. If the Republican
party is the party of imitation, it must
come out and say SO in order that We
nav know where 1t stands Il q AaEAa
that position, and We do not believe it
will and know that 1t has not yet, why.
then. it is doomed to inevitable disaster
and it will very quickly appear what its
defeat means.-BoStaa Globe.
