be considered a close one between ex-Con-
gresham Dixon and General Burnside.
There seems to be excellent foundation
for the story, and it is generally credited
in Washington, that the reporter of one of
the New York morning papers succeeded
in Witnessing the wedding at the White
House by Disgusting himself as a colored
waiter and assisting the caterer at the

The address of Bishop Stevens before
the Protestant Episcopal Convention in
Philadelphia contained few significant
passages. Of course he regretted and con-
demned the Cummins demonstration.
But he admitted that the future of the
new sect depended very much on the ac-
ton of the mother Church. She could
prevent any serious detection by reform
ing her canons and eliminating all the
matters of which serious complaint is
made.

Shipping Wheat in Bulk.

1t is estimated that California will
export about 20,00O,000 centals OF
wheat of this years crop. To provide
sacks for such a quantity will cost
$4,0O0,000, all Of which could be saved
to the farmers if wheat could be safely
shipped in bulk. The experiment OF
shipping in bulk has not yet been
faily tried, but it should be without
further delay. A correspondent of the
Chronicle writing on this subject says
"The Changers are now strong and
financially powerful body in this State,
and it is their business to make the
test. Let them purchase a thousand
tons of wheat and ship it in bulk, 80 as
to determine the matter before the
grain crops Of the next harvest year
comes in. If the whole cargo were
spoiled, the loss would not be felt
amongst so many-a few dollars for
each member-and the experiment
would be we'll worth the expense.
This is the only practical way to settle
the matter"

Sanborn appeared before the Ways

said he had received between $4,000

which he has probably paid 100000
to others and had yet to pay men, still
he paid $4,000 to $4,000 as counsel
fees but nothing to Internal Revenue
officers. He made his entire arrrnge-

Mr.. Francis W. Newman, the radical
writer on education in England, in recent
paper is immensely complimentary to the
United States. Oar free schools, he thinks,
are models for the rest of the world. W hat
especially strikes Mr.. Newman as remarka-
bic in our common school system is the fact
that VIC have abandoned the old methods,
studies and traditions and boldly carved out
Il system Of our own In new country,
with the determination Of the early settlers
united upon making education general and
free, this was inevitable, and in the absence
of large number of endowed schools it was
comparatively easy of accomplishment. The
only real drawback in e!cvating the STAN
dard of general education in the United
States has been found in the scctarian col
legeS. \ great number Of these, with pre-
tensions fur beyond their merits. exist in
every part of the country. They have as
sumcd to give the youth Of the country the
higher education, which it was held the
free schools would not be able to give. The
result has been to rctard that growth which
our colleges We're supposed to foster and in
many parts of the country to prevent the
formation Of free schools above the grade
of grammar schools In England and Ger
many, where endowed schools, and what
might be called endowed prcjudiccS, are
more numerous and more lasting than in
this country, their influence has been stren-
uously and successfully cxcrted to prevent
any general higher education whatever.
Even Prussia, in spite Of her boastcd system
of general Cducation shows no such signs
of progress rs are seen in the United States.
France, Italy and Spain are, Of course, far
behind. With our new belief in the capa-
bilitirs Of free schools for infinite develop
ment and with renewed opposition to sec
tartan schools Of every clasS-exccpt theo-
logical sclninaries for the education of the
ministers of rcligion--wc may well expect
to make great strides of Advancement in the
next few wears II to the excellent rudi-
mcntary education now afforded by the free
schools in aH parts Of the country are added
facilities for acquiring Il knowledge Of
music, literature, the modern languages

our so-calcd colleges will soon become use
less, and even Old Harvard will find a dan
gcrous rival in the free universities

The Two Heifcrs.

I,y in the northern part Of New llamp-
shire. "long time ago, lived two old fellows
whom shall call Nate and Jim. Neither
Of them had any conscientious scruples,'
and did not mind stealing a sheep or COW,
which they always shared equally. They
followed this business Of rappropriating other
peoples property t their own use FOR some
time, until at last they were caught in the
act Of butchcring Sheep. They were
arrested. imprisoned, and fined bat this
did not serve to cure them of it. One day
Nate ''kiader hankered after some fresh
beef; how to get it lie did not know. as
there had not been any butcherings in the
village, and to steal an animal would only
send him to prison, as when anything was
missed its disappcanncc was attributed to
him.
He fell into a thinking mood. and at last
a grand idea struck him. His old friend
jim, he remembered, had Il whic-iac"d
heitcr. and he determined to make her his.
lie determined, bcsids-, to make Jim assist
to do the butchcring and receive bali OF the
prize. So he walked over and held 4 conab
with the aforementioned gentleman, who
WAS nightly pleased at the prospect OF some
fresh beef Thcy named place Of rendcz-
yous to meet that night after dark. Nat"
thea went into the pasture where Jim kept
hi cattle caught the hciscr. fastened her to
4 tree hv a rope. and painted her face red.
At the appointed time lie wa- on hand with
the "crittrr." As soon a> Jim saw her, he
eXrlaimcd 'lf that crittrr only had white
face, would swear that it was my hcltcr,
for She i built just like her,"
They butchcrcl the animal in silence, and
divided her equally between them.
\ short time afterwards Jim complained
that he could not find his heller. She was
missing for long time, and ha finally mad
given her up 10" lost. when one day he
happened to come across his share of the
hide, which he examined very closely, and
discovered that his face WAS caubcd over

Commercial Combinations.

Although the trade unions Of working
men have been roundly abused for the prin-
ciplc @! combination against what they con-
cciyc to be ''thc common enemy of their
Interests, the principle is of very extensive
application IN commercial and industrial en-
terpris1S. Oar great railway and similar
lnonopolics are founded upon it, almost
and combination against the travelling public
i, far more universal with them than is the
combination in trades against employers.
One Of these combinations on II grand scale
has just been dissolved at Liverpool by
mutual consent of the parties to it and the
result is likely to be bcnccialy felt in the
reduced rates Of lrcights on the Atlantic
Ocean. Hitherto all the transatlantic com
panic, whose headquarters are at Liverpool
were combined for the adoption and support
Of uniform rates Of trcight---all Of which
combination was to the direct injury of
trade and at the expense Of the consumer.
Now the combination has been rcinquiShcd
and competition will operate. Already it is
reported that offers are made to carry freight
at half the previous rates. In the cause
that dissolved this combination we see the
natural moral of all these cndcayors to keep
up prices by artificial means. As the com
bination was in the trade from Liverpool,
shippers We're driven to other ports. lf in
Liverpool irciyhts were made high by the
combination, competition and free trade
made them cheaper elsewhere, and shippers
went where they were cheap. These COM
panies thought it was great thing to con-
troll Liverpool; but, as they could not coli
trol the whole shipping world, their game
fell short, and proved to be not 50 much n
plundcring Of the shipper as an injury to
the port and the trade in whose prosperity
they We're directly concerned. And this in
dcatcs the limitation Of combinations. I'M
mcdatcly and on a small theatre they are an
advantage to those who combine. but ulti-
matcly and in the largest application they
are an injury, for they either drive the trade
in which they are applied to some other
point or they kill it altogether.

French Manners.

4 recent writer on French manners oh.
serves: 1T is one of the highest merits of
the system that it tacitly lays down the
principle that all persons meeting in the
same house know each other without the
formalty Of an introduction. Any man
may ask girl to dance, or may speak to
anybody AZ Il private party. Another merit
Of French manners is the general absence
Of mamnisc hontc. If Il boy drop, his book
at church he picks it up without bluShing

presence of bystanIers. In her eyes ali
such things are 50 natural-so much mat
ter of course, that it never occurs to her to
make any fuss about them"
This is neither Indifference to others nor 4
desire To "show off" 1t proceeds from n
sense of proprety which is very much to be
appnuded. In thIS country very absurd
IDEAS prevail about these propricieS among
both men and women, \ good rule to follow
is the French rulc--tn act, in all situations,
with the independence and composure Of n
