THOSE EVERLASTING B0yDx

The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered decision in the
case of the Minnesota railro d bonds.
It aftirms the decision of the Circuit
Court and confirms the opinion of
Judge Dillon ''that the bonds held by
the plaintiff are the legal obligation of
the State, and binding upon it in honor,
law and justice" The opinion of the
Supreme Court is thus expressed: 1.-The
bonds issued are legal obligations; the
State is bound by every consideration
of honor and good faith to pay them"
That settles the matter so far as it
can eyer be settled by judicial tribunals.
Now let the people of Minnesota thrust
aside the demagogues and elect Leg
islature with nerve and honor enough
to m Ike provision for the payment of
these bonds. Let us wipe this black
stain from the name of Minnesota.
MINNESOTA AND THE CENTENNIAL.
Mr. Ellsbury, representing the agrl-
cultural interests Of Minnesota ut the
Centennial, writes a letter to Gov. Mar
shall IN which he expresses his shame ut
the sorry figure Which Minnesota cuts
among the other States. Kansrs has a
$4,000 building, $4,000 for expenses
and $1,000 for printed matter for circu-
lation, while the much greater State of
Minnesota has space of s by II feet in
the agricultural building and nothing
in it. All that Minnesota has on exhi-
hilton is barrel of sample wheat, of
corn, 8 Of oats, 2 of barley and | of
huckwheat.
AS Mr.. E. says, ho is not the only one
who will blush with shame during the
next six months. For this humiliatine
attitude of Minnesota, we may thank
our last Legislature, and just this will
be the attitude of Minnesota so long as
the people are 50 Indifferent to the kline
of men whom they elect to the Legisla
turc. Instead of sending their best and
their representative men, they acqui.
esce in the selection of the politicians
ind Minnesota stands before the world
to-day charged with reputation, he1
credit injured in Europe and in the cast
and appears at the great Centenni;,
with an agricultural display which an,
grasshoppered farmer in Mobiles Count,
can excel from his own farm.
We have great State, our agricul
t',r:.l products are wonderful, our de
velopment has been rapid and healthy
and we protest against the shame which
" niggardly Legislature has brought
upon US.

The Prince Of Wales in India.

The enormously expensive visit of the
Prince of Wales to India was doubtless
intended to produce favorable impress
sion on the people of that vast empire
and if he had pursued the dignifed con-
duet of Clyde or a Lawrence, such
would surely have been the result; but
his attending elephant and rhinOceros
fights, and standing safely upon a stage
to shoot elephants that were driven close
past it by little army of natives, were
not at all likely to produce this effect,
and some other parts Of his conduct were
worse. We are glad to see that DR.. Duff,
who is better acquainted with India than
perhaps any other European, has spoken
out rs follows ON this painful subject:
The Rev. DR.. Duff, speaking at the an
nual meeting Of the Anglo-Indian Chris
ton Union, held in Edinburgh, blamed
in severe terms the advisers of the Prince
Of Wales for not saving His Royal High
ness "from the dilemma of being con-
strained to witness in India the
low, vile, degraded women exhibiting
themselves in low, vile Dances" and
brutalizing spectscles of animals tearing
and goring each other, spcctacles which
-@were nost odious and intolerable to
myriads of the native population OF In
dia.n DR.. Duff said that if the Princes
advisers haG only Estimated to the native
princes that it was contrary to British
habits--they need not have put in the
word Christian unless they liked-to
witness such spcctacles, there was nQtpa
chief or head Zemindar in India who
would not have looked upon it as thing
natural, proper and cOngruous, and there
fore they would not have offended the
heir of the British throne by asking him
to witness anything of the sort. He be-
lieved that had this been done, the Prince
would have been respected Thousand
times more by the whole mass of the
people of India.

A VETERAN OF THE CANADIAN Pa
rRIoT WAR.-An oud iLclOent' Of the
Mercer will case ut Toronto this week
was the appearance as witness Of john
Montgomery man of ninety, who kept
Montgomery Tavern on longe street
in 1887, a famous haunt of the rebels.
He was tried Us traitor before Sir Jonn
Beverly Robinson. A certain witncss,
who was making some very damaging
statement against Montgomery, was IN
terrupted by the latter, VINO remarked TO
the Judge that if allowed time he would
prodLce evidence showing clearly that
the mans statements were false. The
Judge refused to adjourn the court, the
trial was concluded, aud Mr.. Montgomery
was asked what he had to say why seu-
tence of death should not be pronounced
against him. Nothing, my lord, he
replied, Except that that man swore my
life away with your permission. But it
makes little difference, for when you aud
that jury are in he'll, old John Mont
gomery will be living ON YOnge street."
Chief Justice Robinson has been dead a
dozen of years, in all probability not
single member Of the jury is now alive,
but old John Montgomery, true to his
promise, was able to testify tue other day
in the Mercer will case. After his sen-
tence he was sent To the Kingston Peni-
.entiary, but effected his escape across
the line to this country, where he re-
manned till an amnesty was declared.

foundations of the Nile.

The soil of Egypt is of unsurpassed
fertility, and its richness is annually re-
newed by the inundation of the Nile,
which deposits upon the land coating
OF mud, rendering needless any other
manure. In many parts ploughing is
dispensed with, the seed being thrown
upon the mud, and sheep, goats, or oxen,
turned loose in tile fields to trampie in
the grain; though in other parts agricnl-
ture is carried On with considerable labor
and care, especially where artificial irri-
CATION can be resOrted to. The rise of
the Nile begins in Egypt in the latter
part OF Juue; but il Is perceptible at
Gondokoro, lat. 8 deg. north, as early as
February,a ut Khartoom in the latter part
of March, and ut DOngola in May. The
inundation reaches its greatest height be-
tween September 20 and 80, when it is
usually twenty-four feet ab0ve the low
water level. 1t remains at that height
about fifteen days, and then gradually
falls, till it is at the lowest about the
middle of May. lsarises sometimes thirty
feet, when it does great damage. II
it rises less than eighteen feet a
famine is the consequence in some
districts not under artificial irrigation.
The following plants are sown immedi-
ately after the imundAti0n begins to sub
side. aud are harvested three or four
months later: wheat, barley, beans, peas,
lentils, vetches, lupins, clover, hax, let
tuce, hemp, coriander, poppies, tobacco,
watermelOns, and Apptetons'
american CyelopGdid, revised edition.

Scarlet Fever.

1t is as unnecessary for child to die
of scarlet fever as it is that it should be
blind with cataract. Let us see AT
any time before the body has finished its
Intellectual struggle we are able to help it,
not by wonderful medicines, but by the
knowledge of anatomy, and the applica-
ton of common sense. We consult the
sympathetic nerye, and do What it COM
mands US to do. We must give this child
salt when it wants II; we must give it
acid when it has fever and anxiOusly
Graves it-not vinegar, but lemon juice,
because the first coagulates albumen, and
the latter does not, on account of the
surplus of oxygen which it contains. To
initiate the soothing mucus in the intes-
tines, which is now wanting, and to give
some respiratory food at the same time,
we add some gum-arabic. To restore
and relieve the injured nerve, we apply
moist warmth.
In practice we can fulfill all this With
the following simple manipulstions Un-
dress the child and bring it to bed at the
very first sign of sickness. Give it, If it
has already fever, sourish warm lemonade,
with some gim-arabic in it. Then cover
its abdomen with some dry flannel. Take a
well-folded bed-sheet, and put it in boil
ing hot water; wiring it out by means Of
dry towels, and put this over the whole,
and wait. The hot cloth will perhaps
require repeated heating. According to
the severity of the case and the stage of
its progress, Precipitation will commence
in the child in from ten minutes to two
hours. The child then is saved; it soon
falls asleep. Soon after the child awakes,
it shows slight symptoms Of returning
inclination for food; help its bowels, if
necessary, with injections Of oil, soap
and water, and its recovery will be as
steady as the growth of a green house
plant, if we'll treated.
Ofcourse, if the child was already dy-
ing, nothing could save it, or if it has
already effusions in the lining of the
heart or braiu, it is much better that it
should die. But if the above is applied
in due time, under the eyes and direction
of a competent physician, will guaran-
tee that not one in hundred children
will ever die of scarlet fever. / know
this will startle some of my headers,
especially those who have lost children al
ready, but shall go still further. main
tain that a child will never get scarlet
fever if properly treated. If child has
correctly mixed blood, it will not catch
the disorder if put in bed with sick
child. This is still more startling, but
nothing is easier of proof.-GOod Health.

Elephants at Work.

A correspondent of the New York o.
serUer writes: Il was surprised to witness
the Intelligence of some of these useful
animals. They are employed on the
public works, and their enormous
strength enables them with apparent
ease to draw stones of great magnitude,
and, what IS more, place them where
needed. They are used in the construc-
ton Of bridges, and will work in the
water all day. They will push stone
as carefully as a gang of men. 1t is in
teresting to see these huge animals move
about until they get a secure place to
stand, and then exert their amazing
strength in moving stone just as the
mason waves his hand. In the large
timber yards of India these useful a6i-
mails are very extensively used. 1t is
only necessary to watch one for little
while to be satisfied of the wonderful
strength as well as sagacity of these ami
mails. They are employed in drawing
and fitting the huge logs used in ship
building. They viii draw large logs over
very rough roads from the forests. They
8Sill take up a log weighing two tons
ON their tusks, and hold it in its place
with their proboscis, and carry it appar-
emily with more ease than fifty coolies
would. When one of these sagacious
animals has brought you log from
pile, you may send him for tile next log
by merely pointing atit, and he will toll
patiently all day, and make piles Of
logs as nicely as u gang of men could do.
They are always very careful not to in
jure their tusks, especially not to break
them near their heads. One man, who
had a large lumber and timber yard, said
it took over year to teach his elephant
the lumber business; but he added that he
never forgot. These trained elephants
will sell in India for from 500 to 5000
rupees each, depending upon the sagacity
of the animal. S

The Little Houses on the Telegraph
Poles.

Fastened to the telegraph poles in
New York City there are five hundred
and forty-eight little houses, in each OF
which dwells an invisible spirit with
greater powers than the fairy godmother
who made carriage for Cinderella out Of
pumpkins and horses out of mice. They
are built of iron and painted green, and
look for all the world like post-oftice
boxes. Indeed, 1 have been told that
honest country folks visiting the city
sometimes almost wrench them to pieces
with their umbrellas in trying to get their
letter in.
Under the caves of these little houses
there rs a bit of glass window, behind
which is a blind with some printing on
it, and the printing says that key to
the door may be found at the bakers or
the tailOr's or the shoemaker's over the
way. But the possessor is forbidden to
loan it, unless there happens to be fire
in the neighborhoOd and the spirit is
wanted to go on an errand. So, in order
that he may have peep within, we will
enlist the services of friend of. mine
who is city fireman, and who carries a
duplicate key in his pocket.
When the door is opened, we Look into
the frontroom; let US call it the pArlor,
and, like many other parlors, it is cold
and bare. The only furniture is little
knob projecting from one of the walls.
The back room, which the fireman opens
with another key, is much more interest
ing, however; aud it is here that the
wonderful spirit is imprisoned in curl
-ous-lOoking little machine, with brass
eog-wheels, levers and springs, which is
set in motion by that simple knob in
front. q
He is on duty all the year round. Pull
the knob, and he will fly like flash of
lightning over the wire that enters the
house from behind, telling the firemen
throughout the city that they are wanted,
aAd where. His name is Electricity, and
his house is called a fre-alarm tele-
graph-bOx. So you will see that 1 am
writing something more real than fairy
story, although the facts have to relate
are about kind of giants and dwarfs.-
