EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

What man can write out clearly, cor
rectly, and briefly, without book or refer
ence of any kind, that he undoubtedly
knows, whatever else he may be ignorant
of. For knowledge that falls short of that
knowledge that is vague, hazy, indistinct,
uncertain-l, for one, profess no respect at
ALL And believe there never was a time
or country where the influences of careful
training were in that respect more needed.
Men live in haste, write in haste-I was
going to say think in haste, only that the
word thinking is hardly applicable to that
large number who, for the most part, pur-
chase their daily allowance of thought ready
made. You find ten times more people
together with facility, and with a general
idea Of their meaning, and are ready with
theory of some kind about most matters.
Lord Stanley.
"What a wonderful race the American
people are. Every man with his newspa-
per! See the drayman there sitting on his
dray, eagerly reading his newspaper; and
that hackman, mounted on his perch, with
his whip on his knee, diving into his news
paper: and yonder that laborer, stopping
on the corner to buy his newspaper; and
see that payer, repairing to the levee, with
newspaper just sticking out of his pocket,
where he has placed it for further reading
as he has leisure. There is nothing like it
in Europe"

Eccentric Will.Makers.

An eccentric old gentleman of his &C
quaintance called upon him one day and
asked him to draw up will for him.
Certainly" said my father; "explain to
me how you wish to dispose of your prop
erty and | will make a note of your wishes
and put them into regular FORM" So the
old gentleman began: 81 wish to give a
hundred thousand dollars to my old friend
Alexander Tomkins. Poor man, he is not
very well off in worldly fortune, but he is
an excellent person and think this sum
would make him comfortable for life
Please note that down. Then another hun

was in love with her once, but she married
Jones, and Jones has left her poor. Then
there is young Maulstick. He is showing
a good deal of talent-but he is suffering
from the res augusta don't married
poor, pretty girl-the old story. Put him
down at $4,000 And put down $4,000
to the hospital of decayed gentle women.
1t is an excellent institution" My father
paused, and looking up, said: 81 am de-
lighted to see by these dispositions of your
that you are so rich. had no idea that you
possessed such a fortune" "Fortune?"
said the old gentleman; "God bless you, l
have no fortune. l am poor man,
" POOR" said my father; "why, you have
already disposed to strangers of $500, 200,
and as l suppose you mean to leave your
family at least an equal amount, should
scarcely call you a poor man." "Bless
your SOUL" said the old gentleman, "my
whole possessions would not amount to one
tenth of the sums have named, but put
them down in my will to show what would
do if had fortune. l wish to show my
good will to all those friends" Bolton:
That is precisely my case. Excellent old
man! l wish l had known him. Do you
know it reminds me of the will of one of
the greatest men of America, who died
not many years ago? He had, as he said,
lived like gentleman all his life-mean-
ing, of course, that he had spent all he
could get and considerably more, and was
head over ears in debt; but, like this old
gentleman OF whom you spoke, he made a
will disposing of large sums just as if he
had them, and leaving his real estate, which
was mortgaged to the full value, to his
heirs, remarking coolly that "means would
be found to carry his intentions into effect"
Mallett: cay, l remember the fact very
well, and l remember also that means were
found, and that large sum was raised by
public subscription to pay off his debts and
carry his intentions into effect. 1 wonder
if the public would do that for uss Bel
ton: Immediately after his death a statute
was proposed to be erected to him, and in
view of the debts he owed, Quits suggested
that it should be cast in brass from the asrs
alieuo he left. Mallett: Bravo! And be-
lieve it was the same person who remarked
on hearing that this same great parsonage
had paid the debt of nature: " Thank God!
1t is the only debt ever knew him to pay"

The FIRST PATAGoNIANs-Ih a review
of "The First Voyage Round the World,
by Magellan" the following occurs: "They
had remained at the port of st. Julian two
whole months without ever seeing any body
However, one day, without any ono expect
ing it, we saw giant, who was on the
shore of the sea, quite naked, and was
dancing and leaping and singing, and whilst
singing he put the sand and dust ON his
head. Our captain sent one of his men
towards him, whom he charged to sing and
leap like the other to reassure him and
show him friendship. This he did, and
Immediately led this giant to little island
where the captain was waiting for him, and
when he was before us he began to be
astonished, and to be afraid, and he raised
one finger on high, thinking we came from
Heaven. He was so tall that the tallest of
us only came up to his waist; he was how
ever, we'll built. He had a large face,
painted red all round, and his eyes were
also painted yellow around them, and he
had two hearts painted on his cheeks; he
had little hair on his head, and it was
painted white. Afterwards they saw more
of these giants, eighteen at one time, male
and female, the women not quite so tall as
the men. The giants were peaceable, upon
the whole, but one of the seamen was kill
ed by them with an arrow, not without
provocation."

DR.. SCHLIEMANN AT OLD TRoY.-The
researches of DR.. Schliemann on the sup
posed site of the city of ancient Troy, have
recently been rewarded by discoveries which
have worldwide interest, proving not
only the existence of a city, so often and
so strenuously asserted to be purely myth
cal, but the general accuracy both of the
Homeric and Virgilian, the Greek and
Latin, accounts of the people, their cele-
brated citadel, and its ten years siege.
These revelations prove incontrovertibly
that the site of the city, supposed by
Herodotus, Xenophon, Plutarch and many
other writers to be on the heights now
called Hissarlik, was accurately laid down
by those writers. Indications of destruc-
ton by fire, terrible enough to have justi-
fed Virgirs tremendous description, have
also been found; and the Trojan goddess
(Minerva) is exhibited, in the form of her
favorite owl, on vases and earthenware
utensils, on metal implements and trophies,
and in every possible form. Several large
earthen jars, of peculiar shape, were dis
covered by DIR. s.

OCTOBER.
BY Z. CONDER GRAY.

Oft they say thy garb is sober;
But | love thee, ripe October!
Some there be thy looks regret,
And long for rose and violet
While thou hast DER the woodlands shed
Thy "glory- leaves - of gold and red,
And touched the pathways with light
That mocks the hues of Spring time bright
Wrapt all the world in livery gay,
To reconcile us to decay.
How kind thou art to meet us so,
With pomp and grace where'er we go;
The leaves that rustic as We pass
Along the softly following grass
The shimmering maze of mist that lies
Upon the hills, like brooding skies,
And, creeping, melts, at last to make
A shield 'gainst which the sun may shake
Such shafts as Summer never knew,
That break amid the breezy blue.
Thou clothest the bare fields with grain,
Whence nimble Fancy reaps again
Her harvests of full ripened hope,
And, pointing far beyond the scope
Of earth, and her most fruitful yield,
Holds up to view another field,
Wherein the fruits and flowers that grow
Nor waste nor sad decay can know.

Don't forget to say "good morning, {"

tT- Don't forget to say "good morning, !"
Say it to your parents, your brothers and
sisters, your schoolmates, your teachers;
and say it cheerfuly and with smile, it
will do you good and your friends. There
is a kind of inspiration in every good morn
ing hearty and smilingly spoken that helps
to make the morning good and to be a
prophecy of good day to come after it.
And if this be true of the good morning, it
is also of all kind heartsome greetings.
They cheer the discouraged, rest the tired
one, and somehow make the wheels of life
run more smoothly. Be liberal with them,
then, and let no morning pass, however
dark and gloomy it may be, that you do
not help at least to brighten by your smiles
and cheerful words.

THE TREATMENT OF HYDRoPHoBIA.-
The French Journal des Connaisances Med.
icales relates that man, 43 years of age,
having been bitten by a mad dog, was cau-
terized with red hot iron four hours later.
A month passed without any distressing
symptoms, but at the end of that time he
began to complain of epigastric and phar-
yngian construction, and was very much
cast down. Recourse was had to choral at
doses of about sixty grains, which succeed
twice in affording good nights rest; but
the third time it remained without effect.
The patient experienced great anguish;
his voice was hoarse; he had tetanic con-
fractions in the arms neck and breast, and
expressed great fear, accompanied with
Authorizations. In the morning he was ut
terly discouraged.
They then administered sixty grains of
bromide Of potassium, which gave quiet
night, with great improvement on the
following day. Another dose of about
seventy-tiye grains was given with equal
success; all convulsive motions had dsap-
peared.
The medicine being suppressed, the con-
WILSON'S began again a week later, when
bromide was again administered to the
amount of about ninety grains, which COM
pleted the cure.

INITIATION NO REMEDY.

There are now outstanding between
800, 600, 900 and $500, 900, 900 of legal ten
der and bank notes, an amount larger than
can be safely or profitably used in healthy
trade. This is proved by their depreciation
and constantly fluctuating value. No mat
ter what estimates may be made Of the
amount required as a circulating medium
in the United States by comparison with
the amount in use in other countries, it is
certainly true that not only is there no
branch of industry in the United States
languishing for want of currency, but there
seeking investment. The banks in COM
mercial cities are overloaded with it-so
overloaded that they are lending ION call !"
at two per cent and are glad to take COM
mercial bills running from three to six
months (of which a very small amount is
being otfered) at five per cent per annum.
Failing to find borrowers even at these
rates, they are investing largely, but, as
they hope, temporarily, in securities, nearly
one-half of the interest on which is alb
sorbed by taxes. This not only indicates
great depression in manufacturing and
trade, but it establishes the fact that there
is more currency outstanding than there is
legitimate use for. Still, there are men all
over the country complaining of the scare
ity of currency, and attributing the finan-
cial disasters and industrial prostration
which unfortunately exist to contraction.
