A FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUN
DRED DOLLAR GIFT AND
IT'S REWARD.

General Rufus ingalls, presented to
Mrs. Grant watch and chain worth
four thousand eight hundred dollars,
and the General was made acting
Quartermaster-Gen of the United
States by the President, At that time
General Meigs was Quartermaster-
General, and TO get him out of the way
he was sent on a tour of inspection
through Europe. The Quartermaster
has greater power over Government
contractors than the Secretary of War
has over trading posts. General
ingalls, was appointed out of order, as
there were two Assistant Quartermaster-
Generals on the army register; but
they didn't have the means to make
Mrs. Grant presents or were too hon
orable to engage in the bribery bust
ness. That the motive Of the present
was corrupt; that it was corruptly
made, and eorruptly received, and cor
ruptly rewarded By the President,
need not be argued to practical persons
of common sense. While this present
was not technically gift to Grant.and,
while his wife's acceptance of it might
not sabject him to an indictment for
bribery, yet, his conniv ance at it by
his rewarding the donor with respon-
sible and lucrative office is a sufficient
ground for his impeachment. This
matter has been layed before Congress,
and in due time viii be probed to the
bottom.

MENTMORE.
The Estate of the Richest Man i'm
the World


the World.
Baron RothschiId's residence and
estate at Mentmore is described as one
of the finest and most extensive in
England. 1t contains some 20, 600
acres of the finest land in Buckingham
shire. 1t has garden, greenhouses and
8raperies 50 arranged as to turn
lsh fruit every month in the year.
Oranges, pineapples, figs, bananas and
other topical fruits are growing in
abundance. When the Baroness is
absent, yachting in the chanel. or at
her London house, orders by telegral h
are sent to Mentmore daily for the
supplies required. Tie vases ID the
fountain and Italian gardens cost each
$1,000. Tho statuary is all of the
most costly kind, executed by
the first masters. The great hall,
which is about 20x30 feet, is filed
by vases and statuary. It's con-
tents must represent value Of no
less than e100 900. 1t takes no less than
three hours to pass through the room.
The finish is exquisite, and the fur
nlshing of each sumptuons. Some
idea may be formed of the whole from
the furniture of single bedroom, one
of the many guest chambers, costing
eos, 600 or $50, 600. In the dining
and baronial hall are furnishings ex
ceeding G200.00s. Costly cabinets of
the time of Louis XIV, of ebony in.
laid with ivory or gold, diamonds, ru-
bies and all sorts of precious stones,
walls hung with the costliest tapestries
OF the time Of Louis XIV, or covered
with the richest needle embroidered
satin, may give some idea OF the wealth
lavished upon this more than princely
mansion. The cost.ieSt paintings
adorn the walls. and the most skilltul
and expensive workmanship is dis
played on the ceilings. The idea Of
the Baron seems TO have been to build
u mansion such as no other person in
England, except. perhaps, the Duke OF
Westminster, could rival. The stud
Is said to contain more high.bre hors-
es than any other in the world. 1t en-
braces thirty-hye hunters and as many
racers, none Of which are less III value
than $500, while many Of them run up
to thousands.

HOME TRAINING.

Children that are willful, obstinate,
mischievous and disobedient at home,
CARRY these same traits with them to
school. They seldom submit gracefully
to the laws found necessary there for
all. Disobedisnce gets them into trouble,
or, if allowed to pass unnoticed and
unpublished, the moral tone of the
school suffers. No matter how i'm
partially and even mildly the law may
be administered, offenders have 10
high opinion of its merits, and the
teacher in his efforts to remedy the
evil engendered by home neglect, or by
bad home training often times receives
not even the credit of honest intentions.
He is made to bear the blame thatright-
fully belongs to home influence. En-
tering school is not regeneration, and
no teacher can in few days or months
exercise all the demons of misrule that
have for years been allowed to assert
their power in the heart of the child.
The family is the school divinely estab'
lished; home training is divinely en-
Joined. Parents may not be able to do
all they desire for their children, but
they can at least see to 1t that their
children are SO trained at home that
the teacher to whom they are entrusted
may devote their best energies to teach
them, rather than remedying the evil
consequences of parental mismanage-
ment. The best pupils in every school,
other things being equal, are those
who enjoy the best home Influences,
How often is it the case that children
are hurried off to school of mornings to
keep them out of mischief at home. If
such children make no progress in their
lessons, and are eternally in some muss
with their teacher or playmates, which
is generally the case, the teacher is
blamed.

The Mediterranean is noted for
its bright and deep blue color, when
undisturbed, though probably it does
not differ from the ocean much in that
respect. Prof. Tyndall attributes this
tint to minute PARTICLES in suspension,
the existence of which he proved by
optical experiment. Carpenter found
by Iteration that these particles were
Inorganic, and mach more abundant
than in the Atlantic. According to
Admiral Smytb, a greenish tinge is
prevalent in the Adriatic, it borders
on purple in the Lewnt Basin, while
the Black Sea often has the dark as
pect from which it derives it name.
