Browns School, held at Elbethel Church. In
defamation and rscitations his pupils acquitted
themselves with much credit. The patrons of
the school report that his everyday work is full
ly equal to what they might expect from
earnest, active young man. The people Of that
neighborhood are able to keep up good school.
| 1t is their plain duty to do it. If they can Sc
cure the services OF such men as Mr.. Brown for
the next ten years, they will have no cause to
be ashamed of the mental attainments Of their
children.
Good Country Academies, united with lib
eral system of free schools, will prove saving

About three hundred people attended this ex-
hibtion, showing the interest they felt in
schools. Such meetings do good. They excite

AN OLD FoRT.

In Florida the old fort formerly callei
st. Marks, but since the purchase from
Spain, Fort Marion, is constructed Of CO
quina stone. The following is an interest
ing description Of it,, " d4tsAr - ss,s,stm |
This fort is over q century .'old, having
been built in 1885, It cost immense sulns
of money, and is strong enough to have
withstood, in its time, several formidable
seiges. It is probably the most stupend-
Gus, and certainly the most interesting
piece of, masonry in the United States.
It contains dungeons which are said to have
witnessed scenes Of inquisitorial atrocity,,
and whose floors have been stained by the
bloody tyrannies Of dark and cruel age.I
There are also a chapel and numerous
guard-rooms for the accommodation of SOL
diers within its massive wallis The whole
is surrounded by moat which was for
merly crossed by two ancient dtawbridges.
Modelled after the old feudal forms of de-
fense, each bastion is crowned by a turret
for sentinels, and has an air Of antiquity
bordering on the romantic, as well as being
exceedingly picturesque. Over the main
entrance is engraved, in solid rock, the
arms Of Spain, and an inscription in
Spanish, which informs the stranger that
the fortress was finished in 1756, when
Ferdinand vi. ruled the dominions of the
mother country. Don Alonzo Fernandos
Herida was governor and commander-in-
chief, and the engineer of construction was
Don Pedro de Brazassy Garay. It is said,
that, in 1919, when Florida was purchased by
the United States many of the old Spanish
records, that alones could shed light upon
the obscurity Of the early history of this
region, were conveyed in secresy away to
Cuba. 7. .EAEx4.- -A.- .aaaAi1s-A.A. A.

the prosperity of her people depends is
not to fan into hopeless decay; if the
Central Factory is to be a success instead
OF a miserable failure, additional labour
must be obtained, and obtained without

we nave something to say against both
these speeches. If E gland is to fight for
the preservation of the Ottoman Empire,
she will fight in a very bad cause. The
Turkish Empire has no more right to pre-
sefvation by foreign aid, tn n had the fair
land Of Franc, when she was made to saCri-
ice Alsac aud Lorraine by her ccnquersrs.
Let England interfere if Russia talks of an
armed occupation of Constantinople. or
OF extfavagant indemni6cation and no
one will blame her for the interferencp,
but to expect that Turkey is to lose
nothing of her territory, ifuItimately beat
en- by the Russians, is carrying a tradi-
tlonal policy a little farther than the
majority of Englishmen will think fair.
% the other hand, Mr.. Gladstone
should " live aud let live. II all coun-
lies that are b8rbarous and immoral
are to become the fair prey of any one
strong enough to take them, there will be
some strange revolutions in Geography.
Let us hope that there is a a. happy me
