Getting Rid OF Her Daughters Beau.

She lives down on Baker street, and she
has daughter about eighteen years old.
The old lady retains her simplicity and
Innocence, and she doesn't 60 two cents on
style. The other evening when splendid
catch called to escort the daughter to the
opera the mother wouldn't take the hint to
keep still. While helping her daughter to
get ready she asked:
"Mary, are you going to wear the shoes
with one heel off, Or the pair with holes in
'em o''
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the mother
inquired:
care you going to wear that dollar gold
chain and that washed locket, or will you
wear the diamond father bought at the
hardware storee"
Mary winked at her, and the young man
blushed, but the old lady went on:
care you going to borrow Mrs. Browns
shawl, or will you wear mine %
Mary brushed around the room, and the
mother said:
"Be careful of your dress, Mary; you
know it's the only one you've got, and you
can't have another until the mortgage on
this place is lifted"
Mary remarked to her escort that ii
promised to be beautiful evening, and as
she buttoned her glove; her mother asked
"Those are Mrs. Harvey's gloves, ain't
they? She's been good neighbor to US,
and don't know how you'd manage to &C
anywhere if she didn't live near u.s."
Mary was hurrying to get out of the
room, when the mother raised her voice
once more and asked:
"Did you run in to Mrs. Jewett's and
borrow her bracelet and fan Yes, l see
you did. Well, now, you look real stylish,
and hope you'll have good time"
Mary sits by her window in the pale
moonlight and signs for the splendid young
man to come and beau her around some
more, but he hasn't been seen up that way
since that night. The old lady, too, says
that he seemed like nice young man, and
she hopes he hasn't been killed by the
street cars.-Detroit Free Press

In examining the above table, the reader
should bear in mind that the first line
that for 1S67-is the last year in which the
Republican party had control, the Demo-
cratic party going into power in the Fall of
that year.
THE sPOLIATIoNs OF THE RING.
The country members at the last Legis-
lature tried to pass bill for reassessment
of the State, but the ring, fearing that it
would lessen the basis on which their
exactions were levied, had the bill botched
up in committee SO as to fall to pieces
in the courts. A caucus of the ring men,
bers of the city delegation was held for
that very purpose, and how well they sue
ceeded was shown by the decision of the
Supreme Court of the State. The great
city of Chicago, with population of over
400, 900, and with thickly settled suburban
area contributing to its wealth; built up
with the most magnificent hotels and busi-
ness houses in this country, and occupying
much larger area than Baltimore, was
assessed at $303, 705, 140 in 1874, and the
levy for the support of the government,
interest on the debt, &C., was only s., 1885,
rageously high assessment of $22S, 81, ,316,
had to furnish the tax-eaters with $S,415,-
50S.49 in 1874. When the depreciation of
property and the decline of rents are con-
sidered, instead of an increase of over one
hundred per cent in the burden of govern
ment since 1867, as has been shown, the
fairer statement would be that it has in
creased one hundred and fifty per cent.

disappointment.
Instead of acting as powerful agent for
the formation of a healthy public senti-
ment and the cultivation of liberal spirit
it only served to excite discomfort and oppo-
sition until the political revolution of 1867
finally swept it away and substituted the
existing system with many features identi-
cal with that which is superseded, and
though the system of 1865 was stricken
down it must be regarded as the forerun-
ner of such educational reform as has been
made and will continue to be made in our
State, and though the gentlemen who orgi-
mated that system were my political Oppon-
ents l feel like exclaiming, CAN honor to

The call in obedience to which this Asso
citation is canvened, quotes the language of

almost universal testimony of the leading
educations of the country, as to the utility
of this and similar organizations indorses

We are here then, not only in Difference

also to the voluntary prompting of our
hearts and from considerations of personal
duty, as representatives of the educational

higher plane of professional excellence for

which has convened US a higher popular
appreciation and a more hearty popular
recognition.

the " Relations of patrons and the people

We assume as postulates the trite propo.
stions; first, that republican government is
founded in and rests upon the virtue and
intelligence of the people! Secondly, that
the common or public school is the best
vehicle for disseminating the public virtue

education, it becomes pertinent inquiry
whether it is such system as may properly
challenge the liberal, cheerful and ungrudg

Our present system Of education was Or
ganized in 1865. and though modified in a
large degree by subsequent legislation, it
still retains many of its original features.
Born of the inspiration which sometimes

execution of a lofty purpose and wide be-
nevolence, it was promulgated at period
when we were just passing through one of

Rome's Danger Of InundatiOn.

A writer says SIT is surprising, as
De Fournon says in his learned and in
teresting work, "Etudes Statistiques, I"
that people so powerful as the Ro-
mans. so truly skillful in all great
works, such as drains, bridges and
aqueducts, should have done nothing to
protect Rome against the scourge OF
inundation. To be sure, the part of
the city most exposed to the overflow
had not in early times any great monu-
ments, But it is inexplicable that
Agrippa should have placed his superb
Pantheon in such low spot, which is
now only little over six metres above
the rivers level, and must have always
been submerged at the slightest over
flow of the Tiber. The Temple of
Vesta was between the Forum and
the Velaorum. The Velabrum was the
whole of the low ground lying between
the Tiber, the north point of the
Avantine, the south point Of the Capt.
toline and the west point of the Pala-
tine. This space, together with the
Forum and the hollow between the
Capitoline and the Palatine which con.
| meets them, was swampin very ancient
times. It was frequently overaowed
by the river until the stagnant waters

Leonard versus Cow.

Sir Samuel Baker, in his interesting
work on Ceylon, tells us that the leop-
ards in that country cause no little loss
among the cattle. They are SO daring
that they will get to the sheep and cows
by scratching through the thatched
roofs of the sheds in which they are
kept. Sometimes, however, they meet
with their match in the small but active
cattle, as in the following instance:
About three years ago leopard took
it into his head to try the beefsteaks OF
a very savage and short horned COW,
who, with her calf, was the property OF
blacksmith. It was dark, rainy
night. The blacksmith and his wife
were in bed, and the COW and calf were
nestled in the warm straw in the cattle
shed.
The door was locked, and all was ap-
parently secure, when the hungry leop-
ard prowled stealthily around the COW
house, shifting the prey within. The
strong smell of the leopard at once
alarmed the keen senses of the COW,
made doubly acute by her anxiety for
her little charge, and she stood ready
for the danger, as the leopard, hav-
ing mounted on the roof, commenced
scratching his way through the thatch.
Down he sprang, but at the same IN
stant, with a splendid charge, the COW
pinned him to the wall, and battle en-
sued which can be easily imagined.
A coolic slept in corner OF the cat
tie shed, whose wandering senses were
completely scattered when he found
himself the unwilling umpire of the
fight. He rushed out and shut the
door. In few minutes he succeeded
in awakening the blacksmith, who pro-
ceeded to load pistol, the only weapon
he possessed.
During the whole of this time the
believing of the COW, the roars OF
the leopard, and the humping, tramp
ling and shufling which proceeded from
the cattle. shed, explained the savage
nature of the fight.
The blacksmith, who was no sports
man, shortly found himself with Ian
tern in one hand, pistol in the other
and no idea what he meant to do. Id
waited, therefore, at the shed door, anc
holding the light so as to shine through
the numerous small apertures, he look
ed in. The leopard no longer growled
but the COW was mad with fury. Sh'
alternately threw a large dark mas
over her head, then quickly pinned i
to the ground on its descent, and thel
bored It against the wall as it crawlee
helplessly toward corner of the shed
This was the beef. eater in reduced Cir
cumstances. The gallant little COW ha'
nearly killed him, and was now givin|
him the finishing strokes.
The blacksmith perceived the leop
ards helpless state, and, boldly openini
the door, discharged the pistol, and th
next minute was bolting as hard as b
could run, with the warlike COW afte
him. She was regularly cup" and wa
ready for anything or anybody. How
ever, she was at length pacifed, and th
dying leopard was put out of his misery
