EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

There are over three thousand
children attending Catholic schools
in Toledo.
Miss Hodgdon, female candidate
for superintendent of public schools,
was defeated by the people of Stock
ton at the city election ON Monday
last.
The Chicago school teacher who
asked to have his salary. ''razed"
was promptly accommodated.
Four young ladies i'm Benton
county, Missouri, in the pressure OF
the money market and the lack OF
school funds, have volunteered TO
teach for a term free of charge.
A Norwich school boy and a girl
with whom he had been made to sit
as a punishment, during a recita-
ton in history, the other day, sign
ed the following petition and pre-
sented it to the teacher: "We. II
undersigned, request that the MS
tory lessons, hereafter, be consider
ably shortened"
An Ida county, Iowa, school dis
trict has q curious contest. The
school boards are operating two
schools with two sets of teachers in
the same room. The children are
sent to school with instructions
which teacher to recite to, and fire.
auently the parents go with them
to see that their wishes are carried
out.
Arrangements will be made at the
new college at Colorado Springs, As
soon as practicable, to give the
Spanish speaking youths of the ter.
ritory good English educatiOns.
Won't this i'm time work a fraud on
candidates for Interpreters in the
Colorado Legislature, and for trans
lators of the laws?
The girls of a California seminary
lately developed a singular fancy
for using three One-cent stamps, in
stead of the regular kind, upon
their envelopes. The letters were
so plain and matter-of-fact, and the
attempts at evading surveillance in
the Old-fashioned way grew 81
scarce, that one inspecting teacher
investigated this within. And 10
the cunning creatures had taken t.
writing tender emotional little
epistles to their lovers under the
stamps.
A sort of Baxter Brooks contro-
versy is waged i'm a Waterford, Con
necticut, school district. The schOO
committee is divided against itself
one member having hired a female
and another, a male teacher, for the
school. The latter succeeded il
gaining possession of the house, bur
the young lady gained entrance OF
the pretense of "visiting" the
school, and then a pretty struggle
commenced for the mastery, which
is unsettled yet. 1t must be edify'
ing to the pupils.
The three prizes in the depart
ment of municipal law announced
Saturday at the commencement O
Columbia college law school Were
all taken by Yale graduates, the
first, of $3.50, by Howard Mansfield
of New Haven, Of the class Of 1871
The second, of S240, by J. w. An.
drews, Jr., of Columbus, Ohio; and
the third, of 500, by Henry B,
Mason, of Chicago, the two last o
the class of 1850. The graduating
class numbered 1S7, of whom abour
twenty were Yale graduates.

THE free banking bill has passed
the United States Senate with sew
sral important amendments, which
viii, however, doubtless be prompt
~ ratified by the House. 1t now
remaihs to be seen whether Presi-
dent Grant will again succomb to
the pressure from the contraction
ista, and defeat his important
measure with another veto. AL
though the full text Of the bill as
pansd has not yet reached us, we
incline to the opinion that it prom
less the most practical solution to
the currency problem that could be
devised. At any rate it is far u
pssiOr to the duplex contraction ex-
pansion bin vetoed by the President.

Voting BY Telegraph.

The German Reichstag Is here
after going to do its voting by tele-
graph. The wires are SO arranged
that each member can indicate his
vote from his seat. In front of the
seat are two buttons, one Indicating
Yes, the other no, A pressure on
the button telegraphs the vote to a
circular table In front Of the Presi.

OF all the members are written down,

the button each member can see q
piece Of paper appear under his name

GENERAL LONGsTREET

The following extract from re-
marks on the situation in Louisa
na,recently made by General Long
street,are deserving of serious con
sideration; II suppose / am pref
ty cordially hated by certain pro-
scriptive class OF Southerners, but
that cannot be helped. Men can't
all think alike, and the trouble with
the Southern people always has
been that they won't tolerate any
difference of opinion. If God AL
mighty had intended all men to
think alike, He might as well have
made but one man. / have decid-
ed and acted as thought duty re-
CURED, and other men are at hber-
tip to do the same. My opinion is
that the only true solution for
Southern troubles is for the people
to accept cordially and in good
faith all the results of the war, in
Guiding the reconstruction meas
ures, the acts of Congress, negro
als,me prevalent upon the failure OF
s uffrage, etc, and live up to them
like men. If they would do this,
and ncourage Northern immigra-
ton, and treat all men fairly, whites
and blac ks, the troubles would soon
be over, and in less than five years
the Sou th would be in the enjoy
ment of greater prosperity than
ever before. "

A GOOD EXAMPLE

Burleigh writes to the Boston
Journal Those who visited Com
modore Vanderbilt's rooms last
week could have seen in the Ante
Chamber waiting for an audience,
a person about fifty years of age,
understood, light hair, quiet and
evidently well preserved. When
his time came he was ushered into
the little room where the Commo-
dore holds court "You do not
know me-" said the visitor, "but 1
know you very well" "Who are

THE RIGHT KIND OF A BOY.

Over fifty years ago, youth,
working on farm, asked his faith
er for money enough to buy a gun.
The old man could not spare it ;
but the boy, nothing daunted,
found an old piece of iron about
the place, and in course of time
contrived to make gun barrel
out of it, with the very meagre,
facilities affol ded by a country
blacksmith shop. He had not the
materials to make q lock and stock
so he walked to the nearest town
and traded for the necessary at
tachments, and was encouraged
by the smith for having made SO
good a shooter this gave him the
ambition to make another SO he
went to cutting out grindstores
from the native rock to raise the
money for gun materials, and in
a short time there was consider
able demand for guns of his man
ufacture' during the Ffencn war
with Prussia he was called upon to
furnish guns for the army, and IN
less than eight months he made
and delivered to the government
of France rifles of particular pat
tern, costing $5,000,000, which
amount was duly paid. The same
man furnishes rifles for the United
States, South America, Rome,
Spain, Egypt and Japan.
The farmers boy who wanted
gun is Eliphalet Remington, of
Zion, N. Y. His mandatory
covers four acres of ground, and
he employs 1920 men. Not salts
fed with the achievement, he has
recently completed sewing ma
chine, which is reported to repre-
sent the latestand mostperfect adj
vance in the improvements of this
important adjunct of domestic
economy This is the type of a
boy who, when there is not way,
makes a way for himself.

SENATOR FOREMAN S SUCCESS
S0R.

A correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing from Lewis
burgh, West Virginia, on the day
before our late election, thus re-
fers to the Senatorial question In
this State
The next Legislature will be
called upon to select U. S. Sen
ator to succeed Senator Foreman,
and q Democrat will be chosen, as
that body will be largely Demo
cratic. There will not be more
than two Republicans in the Senate
and not dozen in the House. The
Senate consists of twenty-four
members and the House of sixty
five. There are great many pol
iticians looming up all over the
State for this position, prominent
among whom are Allan Caperton,
who was one Of Virginia's Senators
in the Confederate Congress
Judge Raymond and j. N. Cam
den. Besides these, others ofless
importance are spoken of. Mr..
Camden S chances are now consid-
cred the most hopeful, and as he
has strong hold on his party, his
claims will no doubt be pressed
vigorously. He was the Demo
cratic nominee in 1872 for Cover
nor, and was the only candidate on
the ticket not elected. He was de-
feated by Governor Jacob, an in
dependent candidate, and the then
Executive of the State. Mr.. Cam
den has, perhaps, done more to or
ganize, discipline and strengthen
his party than other man in the
State. He is young man, (abouJ
forty) of fine sense, great energy !;
the highest character, liberal views
and is thoroughly devoted to his
State. The Republicans, of course,
eaveno hope of electing Senator.
hheir policy viii be to prevent as
Tany Democrats as possible from
ming into the nominating caucus,
with view of aiding to elect an
dontpendent Democrat.

THE CHOICE OF WIFE.

He that findeth true Wifi, find
eth treasure whose beauty and
lustre not even the shadow Of
death can dim. 1t often seems
strange to me that men are so
blind in their choice of compan-
ions. In this they sometimes
seem to be the weaker sex, for
they yield deliberately planned
schemes, and in the face of an uu-
happy lot, take painted dolls or
artful women to share the better
or worse"
And yet, after all. as the respon-
sibility rests more on him, it may
be a harder thing than we are
aware of, to find one whose
price is above rubies There ex-
lists such an artificial state of socie
ty Beauty is ranked SO high, and
the CRATES are SO indispensabl BILE
that hsmely, indoor life loses its
chicfest charm, anil women be-
comes creature of waywardnes
and pettiness, that must be dressed
up and petted, lin order to keep her
in smiles and decent humor.
Most young men think of ian
establishment" and somebody
must preside of whom they are
proud. They love to hear their
friends say. Wei, has a fine
wifea woman worth having she
plays and sings, she talks agreably
and altoge her makes sensation.
But when trouble comes, whore
is the strong helper = the courage
Gus spirit Those modest home
bodies, who so timid and back
ward-who oversee the humble
household, and ask no praise but
that Of the husbands heart-who
shine but little at parties, but who
are the stars of home-these are
wives for the trial of earnest life.
Their love is the rock never shaken
by the tempest.

This old and reliable company has
opened an Office in this city.
This Company appears to be removed
beyond the contingency Of real disas-
ter. 1t may suffer lcssess, it may en-
counter misfortune against which no
human foresight could provide; sus-
picions may be engendered by rival
companies, but she goes calmly on in a
line of duty laid down by itself, and
will never abandon it if it takes the
last dollar.
Its losses by the Chicago fire were
about 81, 200, 000 every dollar Of which
was paid before maturity Hard upon
this, was the great Boston fire, bring
ing loss of$1, 600,0 600; no man had to

one who wants insurance is concerned
to know where to look for that whic is

FRUIT AS A MEDICINE

The worst case of dyspepsia can
be cured without the least particle
of medicine, simply by eating no
thing in which lard is an ingredi
emit, using butter sparingly, eating
bread made of unbolted flour, and
making free use Of fruits, especial
ly apples. In fact on the depar
ture of winter, most people would
be much better off if they ate meat
not much oftener than once or
twice week, and used fruits
and vegetables instead. Pork and
lard are the great promoters Of dys-
pepsia and fevers, and bilious dis
eases are fed by keeping our bodi-
ly heat of mid-winter through June
July August and September, by
never changing our diet from the
heavy meats of January. An emf
nent French physician says that
the decrease of dyspeptic and bill
ious affections in Paris, is owing
to the increased consumption of
apples-a fruit, he maintains, which
is an admirable preventive and ton
lie, as.wel as a very nourishing and
digestive article of food. The Pa
risians devour one hund red mil
lions of them every winter, and we
do not doubt that these state
ments are perfectly correct. In
fact,instan have come under our
own observation where fresh fruit
had an immediate effect in check
ing bilious tendencies in individu-
ais, and we have heard of whole
districts where bilious diseases be
the fruit crop. Fruit-growers may,
therefore, count on a constantly
increasing demand for the products
of their orchards and gardens, as
health giving properties OF
