Girls.

Mrs. Livermore, Olive Logan and
the Hon. Carl Schurz have given SO
much time in discussing this important
subject that we have made up our mind
that if the girls are trained at home in
the following manner they would give
these wise heads something else to talk
about

and sew on buttons.

yond his income the nearer he gets to

woe of their after life.
Teach them that good steady me-
chanic without cent is worth dozen
loafers in broadcloth.

music, painting, drawing, If you have
time and money to do it with.

EmeraIds and Pearls.

4 Paris letter says: For evening wear
pearls and precious stones are alone in
vogue. Coral, Roman gold, and other
less costly ornaments are no longer worn.
The emeralds of the Duchess d'Arco,
which she wore at the ball of the Elysee
lately (she is the individual who was
pointed out to me as "a Russian Princess
and whose jewelry was recently men
tioned) are valued at SJOO.OOO. The
Duchess of Medini-Ceh possesses a pearl
necklace which is family heirloom. 1t
is composed of twelve or fourteen strings
of large and beautiful pearls, and valued
at 100000. When she wears it the
upper string fits around her throat,
while the lowest falls below her waist. !"

Business h knOWnOthings.

The man who groans over his poverty
without taking step toward lettering
his condition, is justly regarded as a
good-for- nothing Ounce. Had he sense,
the more desperate his fortunes, the
more energetic would be his attempts
to improve them. What is true of in
dividuals is true of classes. Business
may be dull just now, but the laws OF
demand and supply exist as they al
ways have done. They may be operating
somewhat peculiarly at present, but
the long headed merchant or manufac-
turer will study how they may be
turned to mis- benefit, instead of croak-
ing about actual difficulties and imagin-
ing others worse to come.

The T,rs and Functions o. the
Leaf.

The Office and utility of leaves are
becoming better understood by cultlva-
tors than formerly; yet we find good
many still adhere to the old belief that
the suns rays, shining directly on form
ing fruit, are what perfect 1t, independ-
emily of other influences. On this sub
iect, theory and practice have been IN
variably found in perfect accordance
with each other. The principles OF
physiology teach us that the sap OF Il
tree. when it passes in at the roots, re-
main nearly unchanged in Its upward
progress through stem and branches,
until ii reaches the leaves where, beng
spread out in those thin organs, to light
and air, il undergoes complete change,
and thus becomes suited to the forma-
ton of new wood and new fruit. Strip
a rapidly-gIowing tree OF It's leaves at
midsummer. and from that moment
the supply of new wood ceases. and 1t
will grow no more till new leaves are
formed: and if it has young fruit, the
growth and maturity of the latter VIII
cease in the same way. A few years
since, yellow gage plum tree lost all
its foliage from leaf blight, when the
plums were not fully grown. and while
Vet destitute of flavor. The fruit re-
manned stationary and unaltered: until,
in a few weeks, second crop OF leaves
came out They then swelled to tull
size. assumed their crimson dots, and
received their honied sweetness ol
riayor. The object Of pruning should
be. therefore, To allow the leaves 10
grow to full size without being injured
from crowding. We find the following
cnrroborative fact stated in late mum
her of the New England Farmer; we
once knew an intelligent lady. who
stripned her grape vines of portion OF
their leaves, in order to let IN the SUI
and ripen the fruit; but, tn her surprise
where the leaves remained as Natur,
had disposed them, the grapes We're ,, IN
earliest, and every way the best. Ihl'
!ed her to investigate the matter, wheI
.he was delighted to learn that tii'
leaves were not only the protectors
hut the caterers of the fruit, constantly
celebrating and supplying 1t with tl'
pabulum it required To bring 1t 10 per

POETRY.
A MORNING SONG.

wake this morn, and all my life
l. freshly mine to live;
The fCture with sweet promise rife,
And crowns of joy to give.
New words to speak, new thoughts to hear,
New love to give and take;
PerchAnce new burdens i may bear,
For loves own sweetest sake.
New hopes to open in the sun,
New efforts worth the viii,
or tasks with yesterday begun
More bravely to fulfil.
Fresh seeds for all the time to be,
Are in my hand to SOW,
Whereby, for others and for me,
Undreamed-of fruit may grow.
In each white daisy mid the grass
That turns my foot aside,
In each uncurling fern pass,
Some sweetest JOY may hide.
And if, when eventide shall fall
In shades across my way,
1t seems that nought my thoughts recall
But life Of every day:
Yet if each step in shine or shower
BE where Thy footstep trod,
Then blessed be every happy hour
That leads US nearer God

and then out again, the breakers still
rolling over us. Our boat was un-
manageable. but she could not sink and
we drifted down another hundred yards
through breakers - how, we scarcely
knew. We found the other boats had
turned into an eddy at the foot of the
fall, and were waiting to catch us as we
came, for they had seen that our boat
was swamped. They pushed out as We
came near, and pulled us in against the
wall. We bailed out the boat and
started on again.

Through the Canyon.

Major Powell, whose descriptions Of
the canyons of Colorado are SO interest
ing and so eloquently told, tells us OF
passage through one of those terrible
flows in his boats, as follows:
About eleven o'clock We heard great
roar ahead, and approached it very eau
tiously, the sound growing louder and
louder as we ran. At last We found
ourselves above long. broken fall, with
lodges and pinnacles of rock Obstructing
the river. There was q descent of
seventy-five or eighty feet, perhaps, In
a third of mile and the rushing waters
were broken into great waves on the
rocks. and lashed themselves into foam.
We could land Just above, but there was
no foothold on either side by which a
portage could be made. 1t was nearly
a thousand feet to the top of the granite
so it was impossible to carry our boats
around, though we could climb to that
point ourselves by side gulch. and
passing along mile or two, could de-
scend to the river. We discovered this
on examination, but such q portage
would have been imp practicable for us,
and we were obliged to run the rapid or
abandon the river.
We did not hesitate, but stepped into
the boats, pushed of, and dashed away,
first on smooth but swift water, then
striking q CLASSY wave and riding to its
top, down again into the trough, up
again ON higher wave, and down and
up on the waves, higher and still higher,
until We struck one Just as 1t curied
back, when q breaker rolled over our
little undaunted boat. On We sped, till
the boat was caught in q whirlpool and
spun around and around. When we
managed to pull out again, the other
boats had passed us. The open COM
partment of the emma Dean" was
fiIled with water, and every breaker
rolled over us. Hurled back from the
rock now on this side, now on that, We
were carried at last into an eddy, in
which we struggled for few minutes.

"SaIarY Grabbing.N

The argus charges that every member of
the Executive Council for the past year has
grabbed bis pay for ninety-one days at
tendance, when not one of them has served
over fifty days. The impression sought to be
given is that the present councillors ave
charged compensation on different basis
than has been customary, when the fact is
that the rule under which they have received
pay is precisely the same as that under which
all councillors have been paid since the for
nation of our state government, and under
which members of the Legislature were paid
when they had per diem compensation. If
this rule makes man 'salary grabber,"
then such men as Hon. Bion Bradbury, Hon.
Joseph Titcomb, Hon. Artemas Libby, Judge
Clifford, Judge Fox and the late Senator Fes-
senden, and every other citizen who has been
a member of the Council or the Legislature
when members were paiG a per diem) have
also been "salary grabbers."
The rule has always been to allow these
officials 50 per day from the beginning to the
end of the session, besides travel. Tais, of
course, includes Sabbaths and other days
when recess has been taken. The argus
has examined the records of the Council, and
has ascertained the attendance of each mem
ber from them. Such records do not by any
means show that any member was not attend
ing to his official duties on any particular
day. They merely show that he was not
present when the Secretary made the record
of members present. OF course they do not
show attendance On Sabbaths or any day
when recess is had. For example, these
records probably show about forty days at
tendance of each councillor during the win
ter, when he received pay perhaps for sixty
or seventy-the whole number of days of an
average session; for the rule has always been
to make the pay of a councillor during the
winter sessions the same as that of member
of the Legislature, and $3.50 was fixed as the
pay of legislator on the basis Of the average
length of the sessions.
But the Argus charges that this is contrary
to the letter of law, and is therefore "salary
grabbing.'' Councillors attended only forty
days, for example, but charged for say sixty
five or seventy-fve days. But look little
further. By the letter of the law councillors
may charge twenty cents per mile for travel
from their homes ever session-an average of
say S20-for each session. Now when the
Council takes recess from Saturday to the
following Tuesday, every week of the winter
by the 'Heter'' of the law the session might
be each time closed, and Councillors might
charge for travel seven times, or sl4o' Ad-
ding per diem compensation for forty days
actual attendance ($SOl, and they would ie-
ceive by the 'letter'' Of the law 1920 for the
eight weeks services. But by custom and
general consent they only charge for one trav-
ell and compensation, same as members of the
Legislature, amounting in no case to over
S175 for any councillor-thus saving large
sum to the state, instead of grabbing an
extra sum as the Aryus represents. And
this is all there is in the grabbing charge
as made against councillors.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE.

In view of the repeated and persistent at
tempts to put councillors in a false light, we
trustthe Legislature will make the law relating 6
to the compensation Of the former so plain,
that no one may be able to create an impress
sion that they are fraudulently receiving more
pay than they are entitled to.
We give the argus notice that the PRESS
is as eager 20 correct real abuses as itself, and
when it finds real wrong it will find the
PRESS hearty ally in bringing about re-
form. This affair, however, is too trivial in
its nature to be the basis Of so serious a
charge as "salary grabbing" and fixing it
upon one Council because its members are
Republicans,

That Won Arnim trial is inficting ever so
much misery on the poor Germans. The
judge who imposed the sentence has been
summoned before the Kammergericht, which
must be something very bad indeed. But
worse is to follow, for the case will be carried
to the Obergerjeht,-a frightful tribunal, if
we can judge by the name.
At all events, the discovery of silver in Es-
sex County, unless perhaps in the form of
buried spoons, is an occasion for surprise

FROM the Spanish American point Of view
the Republic of Guatemala is surely going to
the dogs. The Liberal party, who now holds
the reins of government, not content with
proclaiming freedom of the press, of worship
and of education, is building good roads
throughout the country and compelling each
citizen 10 give three days labor to the work.
A good road in Central America is daring
innovation, blow at the old order of things,
which must inevitably lead to something very
bad; and the attempt to force Spanish Amer
leans to work, even for three days, will be
stoutly resisted by each individual of that

New York, March l3.-Thc session
of the Louisiana arbitration com
mittee lasted from half past ten o'clock
a. m. to five p. M, and all the mem
bers of the committee were present;
Hoar presided. The counsel for the
contesting parties remained in the
adjoining room during the day, and
were consulted occasionally by the
committee. Charles Cavausc, of New
Orleans, was also present. Hoar, at
the close of the proceedings, stated
that there was nothing to be made
known in connection with the inves-
tigatiun, aud it would be a breach OF
trust for any memherof the committee
to communicate anything. 1t is
thought the committee will make
their report on next MouGay.

uncertain, though it is stated the coun-
sci for defense are waiting the pussuge
of an act by the legislature permitting
Mrs. TiIton to testify, and that Beecher
will supplement her testimony.
