MISCELLANY.


Two small rocky islands in the Behring' S
Sea will soon have paid back to the Treasury
Department the whole sum expended on the
purchase of Alaska# When the cession of this
territory was granted By Russia. people
smiled at the bargain made by our Govern
ment. 1t was said that Yankee shrewdness
bad deserted Mr.. Seward in the matter. He
knew BETTER and did not buy with his eyes
shut st. Paul's and st. Georges Islands,
belonging to the Aleutian chain, have since
been leased to tbe Alaska Commercial Com
pany for seal fshing at yearly rental of
500, 900. A tax of nearly three dollars on
each fur seal taken and shipped from the is
lands is also imposed. As 100000 skins are
exported yearly now to San Francisco and
New York, fruitful source of revenue is OBJ
tanned from those two barren rocks. This
territorial enterprise of ours is therefore =
great success, and will probably help to de-
velop the IDEA that colonial possessions are
useful from many national points.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1874-12-23

A Buffalo clergyman, Mr.. Wolcott Calkins,
recently noted the following facts in a SER
mon ON our free schools sOur public
paupers number about rs, 737, and cost Sill
600, 900 annually. The cost of Great Britain's
paupers and the cost Of her annual procedure
amount to $780, 900, 900 annually. If for each
dollar expended for such purposes dollar was
appropriated for free schools, how much crime
would be decreased. Nations cannot afford TO
permit ignorance. 1t cost France the
greatest humiliation Of modern times, and it
cost the Southern States their rebellion. Ig-
norance is too expensive for any modern
nation.''
