Why Language Should be Studied.

The study OF philology, or of language
by itself, is undoubtedly of great value:
but it Is rather study for the special
ist than for the average student. 1t is,
certainly, true science; only, lacking
precision in its methods, and being de.
fcient In practical applicability TO the
general affairs of life, it must be left out
Of account for the present. In q general
course of study a language should be
taught because OF it's value in opening
up other departments OF knowledge. II
should reveal to us the thoughts OF other
peoples, and enable us to avail our
selves of their experience. For most
men these purposes are best fulfilled by
study OF the modern tongues. Latin
and Greek are valuable, no doubt, only
they are less Indispensable than French
and German. These newer languages
are not only Of practical value, being
fellpw-belngs to-day, but they have also
many direct bearings upon all modern
lie. The sciences can not be well stud
led without them; they open up the Wild
est field OF recent thought; they bring us
into'closer harmony with the spirit of
our own LINES. We can get along better
without a knowledge OF antiquity than
without a knowledge OF the days in
which we live. The history of the siege
of Troy has less interest," for us than the
history of the great social and economic
problems which aref'being worked out in
such deadly earnestin our country and in
Europe to-day. The ancient languages
have their uses, uuquestionabiy; so
also have the Russians aud the Chinese:
but are those uses OF sufficient impor-
tance to warrant universal study Re.
membering the aims of education, we
must also remember that every student
has but limited number of years to
spend ut college. In those few years he
must acquire that learning which will
best ft HIM to go forth and grapple with
active duties. Ii he has both the taste
and the leisure, then he can learn the
dead languages after graduation, It is
nothing to urge that Latin and Greek
facilitate the acquisition OF French and
German, since the latter can be studied
directly as we'll as theformer. Few peo-
pie can afford the time to study four
Languages in order to use but two

The following description is given by
the San Francisco Chronicle of the car
in which the trotter Occident is to be
brought East by Budd Doble: " Under-
meath the car is carried a portable bridge
for shipping or transhipping horses at a
moments notice, being attended with no
danger or trouble whatever. On the in
side the conveniences are of the most
superior character. There are four port
able stalls for horses, two near each end
of the Car. When it is necessary to lie
over day or two for rest these single
stalls can be converted into rcomy box
stalls; their sides are also cushioned to
prevent accident. Every aperture, win
dow, ETC., has wire screens to prevent
cinders from entering the car; the ar
for preventing flies from
troubling the horse are also very ingen-
ious and useful. Overhead are conven-
fences for packing away sulkies. In one
corner OF the car stove is carried for
the purpose of heating water for horses
feet, as we'll as for cooking when neces-
sary; also a refrigerator and numerous
that show much ingenuity
in their construction. In the center OF
the car Doble has perfect gem of bou-
doir, fitted up in the most superb man
ner, with frescoed walls and ceilings,
Brussels carpet, tables, chairs, lounges,
mirror, lace curtains, silver lamps; also,
a fine sideboard, filed with elegant cut
glass and well stocked with wines. A
bell is also at hand to call his help when
required. In fact, take it all in all, it is

man and beast that there is in the United
States. The cost was about Sc, 800 all

A Texas Mailman.

Some months ago a rgeand power
fully-built man went into the Office of
Judge Smith, Of Austin, Texas, and
asked the Judge to send him to lUnatic
asylum. The man said he was danger
GUS mailman, and not fit to be running
around loose. His appearance OF blunt
candor did not convince the Judge, and
he told the man he could do nothing for
him. The man went his way. The other
day he visited the office again, and the
Judge recognized him. There was an
other man, Mr.. Denton, also 10 the office,
and it was well he was. Judge Smith
asked the visitor what he could do for
him, and the visitor drew long knife
and told the Judge he had come to kill
him. Now, big knife drawn in the
hand of big man in Texas means some
thing. The Judge grasped his heavy
cane, and Denton picked up chair.
There was lively skirmish, at the end
of which several chairs were broken, the
cane was splintered, and the man with
the knife was lying on the floor with
bleeding head. This time the Judge

The course of the grain market has again been
very favorable for producers, holders and spec
ulators on the ''long" side of the trade but
directly the reverse to the unfortunate
shorts" The surrounding influences were
nearly all of favorable tenor and such as
would naturally be expected to produce
an active set of markets, and all upward
movement in values. These influences were
used as a lever by the bulls in their efforts to
force higher range of prices, and with good
success. The receipts of the leading grains
wheat corn and oats-have been steadily de-
creasing, this weeks arrivals being
considerably below the expectations Of
spectators. The shipping movement is
on the increase, the low rail freights indi-
eating better demand. The grain now in
store is generally held by operators for delivery
on contracts. for shipment, or for purposes
best known to- themselves" at any rate, they
are not disposed to sell, and the ''shorts" are
beginning to anticipate trouble in filling their
contracts. The increased demand from this
interest, further aided by favorable Eastern ad-
vices and the "bull" movement of interested
SPECTATORS resulted in the material advances
shown on all grains, the exact amount of the
advance being shown by the annexed table

The amendment which the express compa-

on third class mail matter were doubled, is not
only diminishing the receipts of the Postofice
Department but increasing it's expenditures.

were made before the change in the rates. AS
large part of it's mail matter is of the third

THE RACK Hills.

Prof. Walter P. Jenney, Chief of the geological
expedition to the Black Hills and assistants, re.
turned to Cheyenne, Wyo. T., Oct. 10th, having
spent FIVE months III the Hills and made quite
thorough examination of the whole county, and
mapped it from Belle Fourche to the south fork of
the Cheyenne River. lie reports gold fields ex-
tending 40 miles north from Harvey's Peak, and
20 miles wide, that contain gold in quantities that
will pay from SO to $5 per day to the man, and
that there are bars on numbers Of streams that
will pay much more than that. The water sup
plies are ample for working purposes, and the fall
sufficient to carry the water from the top Of most
of the bars, and allow the tailings to be readily
disposed Of. The gold is coarse, scale, good, is
easily separated from the gavel and sand. The
Professor has with him an ounce of coarse gold
that two men obtained on Spring Creek with ten
hours labor. An essay Of this gold shows it to
be worth $l942 in coin to the ounce. Prof. Jen-
ney corroborates Gen. Clusters report of the Hills,
and says that they will support thousands Of min
ers when the Government opens them to settle
ment. The valleys are all adapted to agriculture
and the hills and canyons to stock-raising. Rain
fall is plentiful, and timber abundant. His official
report viii be made from New Yo:k probably be-
fore Congress meets.
