Commodore Vanderbilt now declares blu11y
that rapid transit schemes to benefit the lower
part of the city will receive no assistance
from him. He gives the surprising informa-
ton that his intention in procuring a rapid
transit charter last year was not only genuine
and honest. hut msellish He intended to
build the road-cvcn if il cost $1,000, 600
and then To give il 70 the city. But so much
suspicion OF bis motives and so much opposition
were rc>sed, that he became thoroughly dis
gllstcd and threw up the plan. He now talks
cynically of the thankcssness which turned
linn aide from his purpose, and will have no
more OF rapid transit except as relates to the
FouIth-aye. improvement. The notion OF the
great Railway Kings intending TO undertake
an immense enterprise rs public beneiaction,
pure and simple and without thought of gain
to himself, viii be revelation to many of
our readers, all of whom will very much re-
gret that Nj. Vanderbilt did not succeed in
carrying out the prolnptings of his beneyo-
lence.

The particulars of an interesting and i'm
portant suit in the United States Circuit Court
are given to-day in our court reports. The
plaintiffs are the foreign holders of the first
mortgage bonds of the Newly York, Boston, and
Montreal Railway, who sue for relief, on the
ground that their subscriptions for the bonds
were secured through fraud and misrcpresenta-
ton by the managers OF the enterprise. The
amount involved-several millions of dollars
and the well-known names appearing in the
list of defendants will cause the proceedings
in this case to be watched with great interest.

The Authors of the "SpelliBg
Mania,

And now it is said that the Publishers of Web
ster's Dictionaries responsible for the recent
:'Spelling Bee" excitement. Whether this is true
or not, the spelling mania was a good thing and ii
undoubtedly had very excellent influence. Of all
educational accomplishments, proper knowledge
of the orthOgraphy of our own language Is certain
ly the most desirable, and of all the deficiencies in
educational methods that relating TO this study
is the most marked. And we were therefore going
to say that whether the spelling excitement came
about through the advertising efforts Of the Web
ster publishers or not, thing is qnite clear and
that is that there is nothing that has helped to
stimulate the widespread interest in the subject,
or that Is so nearly Spoilers Fads MeetuH, as

KANSAS RAMPANT Letters from
Kansas ere eloquent in regard to

vicinity of Wichita, have produced
for export from three millions to
four millions bushels of wheat, real

Potatoes and vegetables of all kinds

One writer says:
1T is difficult to realize this SUD

the farmers paradise; and such her
rewards, for all industry, prudence

Good Advice.

A former Highlander, now resid-
ing in Iowa, writes an account of a
recent visit to his old friends in this
county. The letter is too long for
publication, but we make one or two
extracts. The writer says:
"This will be critical year for
many persons financially. Farmers,
keep steady. Balance well. Exer-
else your best judgment in regard to
your business. Don't let anything
waste that you can save. Look well
to your stock Prepare good, warm
winter quarters for them, and you
will winter with much less feed.
Cooking the feed, especially for hogs,
is worth the time and trouble, as it
saves a great amount of feed.
"Do not expect to live as you do
when you raise an abundant crop of
everything. Live according to your
ability. Contract few debts. Be
lively and cheerful, no matter what
may happen.
I'VE found al the schools closed;
therefore were deprived of the op-
portunity of visiting any of them,
but see from the statistics of Teach
ers examinations, that your Board of
Examiners are bringing them to time.
My experience as teacher induces
me to believe that great care should
be exercised on the part of Examin-
ers, in order to keep the best talent
in tho field of labor; for to the
teachers throughout the land are in
trusted the tender minds of the ris-
ing generation, and our future pros
perity as nation depends upon the
training of the young. We want
the love of liberty, self-respect. hon
Psty and integrity taught to them by
precept and example.

Emerson discourses in this wise
"Show us an intelligent family of

you family where newspapers and
periodicals are plentiful. Nobody
who has been without these silent

tional power for good and for evil.

Vulnerable topics of discussion which
they suggest at the breakfast table,

with which, thus early, our children

to which unconsciously their atten-
ton is awakened, and the general
spirit of intelligence which is evoked
by these quiet tyisitors' Anything that
makes home pleasant, cheerful and
chatty, thins the haunts of vice, and
thousand and one avenues of tempta-
ton, should certainly be regarded,
when we consider its influence on
the mind of the young, as q great

Ohio Agricultural College.


never hear from this institution, as
we do from the Michigan College ?
Has it no experimental farm, or has
it no professors who are capable OF
carrying on experiments Please
give us some information in regard
to it. ENQUIRER.
The Agricultural College has a
farm connected with it, containing
nearly four hundred acres of good
land. 1t also can boast of an able
faculty, as capable of carrying on agri-
cultural Investigations as that of any
other, perhaps. One good reason
why we do not hear from it in the
way of experiments, as we do from
the Michigan College, is because of
its youth. It must be remembered
that it was not open for the recep.
tton of students until September II,
1873-lcss than two years ago. The
Michigan College is the oldest agri-
cultural college in the United States,
having been opened for the reception
of students, May 18th, 1S57-over
eight years ago. We have not the
records at hand to show when it be-
gan its experiments and investiga-
tions, but we have no doubt that it
was a good deal older than the Ohio
College is now, before it fairly got
on its feet.
The course in agriculture adopted
by the Ohio institution, occupies
three years, and embraces the fol
lowing:
Agriculture, its purpose, scope and
history; the farm and its arrange
ment; soils, their composition and
adaptation; field crops, tillage, fer
tilizers, pastures and meadows;
draining, irrigation, roads, buildings,
fences, hedges, and forests fruit
growing the dairy and its products;
wool and sheep husbandry; domes-
tic animals, their anatomy, physiolo-
gy, and general arrangement; dis
eases of animals, their medical and
Surgical treatment; pests of the
farm markets and transportation;
financial results of agriculture: and
various additional branches included
in other departments.
This course is comprehensive
enough, certainly, and every facility
is afforded for persuing it successful
ly. And yet we understand that no
class in practical agriculture has
yet been formed, and the fact has
been announced as proof that the in
stitution is only agricultural in
name" If no class in agriculture
has been formed, it is no fault of the
professors. They cannot compel
students to come there and take an
agricultural course of study Full
freedom is granted to every student
to choose the branches he desires to
pursue, and if the farmers of the
State have not availed themselves of
the opportunities afforded, to secure
their sons an education which will
make them intelligent and useful til.
lers of the soil, the fault is theirs
alone.
Agricultural Investigations and ex-
periments will no doubt be institu-
ted as soon as possible, and the way
to expedite this matter, is for Ohio
farmers to send their sons there, to
take the agricultural course, to make
farmers of them, not lawyers, doctors
or preachers.
