shark,s Warm ninner.

Glasgow Observer
"Looking over the bulwarks of
the schooner" writes a correspond
dent to this journal, al saw one Of
these watchful monsters winding
lazily backward and forward like a
meteor; sometimes rising until his
nose disturbed the surface, and a
gushing sound like a deep breath
rose through the breakers; at
others, resting motionless on the
water, as if listening to our voices,
and thirSting for our blood. As
we were watching the motions of
this monster, Bruce Ga lively little
negro and my cook, suggested the
possibility Of destroying it. This
was briefly to heat a friedrich in
the store, wrap it up hastily in
some old cloths as a sort of disguise,
and heaye it overheard, This was
the work Of a few minutes; and
the effect was triumphant. The
monster followed after the hiss
ing prey. We saw it dart
at the brick like q flash OF light
ming and gorge it instanter. The
shark rose to the surface almost I'M
mediately and his uneasy motions
betrayed the success of the maneu
yer. His agonies became terrible
the water appeared as if disturbed
by a violent squall, and the spray
was driven over the taffrail where
we stood, while the cleaning body
of the fish repeatedly burst through
the dark waves, as if writhing with
fierce and terrible commissions.
Sometimes we thought we heard a
Shrill, believing cry, as if indica.
tive Of anguish and rage, rising
through the gurgling waters. His
fury, however, was soon exhausted,
in short time the sounds broke
away into distance and the agita,
tion Of the sea subsidized. The
shark had given himself up to the
tides, as unable to struggle against
the approach of death, and they
were carrying his body unresisting.

Professor Tenbrook in Penn Monthly
Father Richard, a French Catho-
lie priest, who came to Detroit in
1898, was perhaps the most promi-
nent figure in the place. The peo.
pie were at first all Catholics, and
his authority was about as decisive
in his parish as if it had been in
France. He performed episcopal
as well as the lower priestly runc-
tions.
After the establishment Of the
territorial government in 1906, and
especially the appointment of Gen.
Cass as governor in 1913, there
were some PrOtestants in the
place who had no religious service
of their own, and Father Rich
ard was asked to supply for
them this want, which he at
tempted to do by discoursing
in the council-house at 12 o'clock
Of each Lords day, accommodating
himself to his Protestant audience
as well as hs could. His use OF
English was always sQmeWhat i'm
perfect. A passage from q prayer
which be once offered in the legis.
lative council will show at once his
use of English and his yiows Of the
duties Of legislators; go Lord, bless
dis legislatif council and enable
dem to act for de people and not

chaplains Of congress. Father
Richard was the first delegate of
Michigan as a territory in congress,
and is credited with great efficiency
in caring for its intGrests.

Rev. John Montieth, Q recent grad

The MIghor Eaaeatlon OF women.


Mr.. Howard Crosby, Chancellor
of the New York University, who
is connected with the Wellesley
college for girls in New England
and is one of the vice presidents of
Vassar college, is said to have made
arrangements for admitting young
women to the New York University
as students of any desired branches
Of law, medicine, science and bellies
lettres. This action will not raise
the question of co-education of the
two sexes, for the class-rooms are
too small for the present classes of
young men, but it is proposed that
the male and female separate
classes shall follow the same course
of study and occupy the rooms
alternately. This can only be done
at additional cost, for it will require
a large increase in the faculty, but
the chancellor believes that he can
secure enough female students will
ing to pay the charges to justify
him in assuming these increased
obligations. The New York uni
versity does not seem to be in a
good condition for trying such ex-
periments, for the resources are said
to be insufficient to allow the chan
cellor any compensation, although
the professors are paid small sala-
rics. But "taint heart never won
fair lady," and the chancellor can
not extend the usefulness of his
university and open its doors to
women without a bold movement
at the outset,

1" had not the remotest idea Of be-
ing raised to the dignity of lord

it has ever seemed to us, was to
encounter, in stern debate, the illus
trious few Canning among the

whose exalted position and COM
manding talents as debaters, re-
garded them in every way, worthy
Of his STEEL" Unqucstionably,
Brougham'S great powers made
themselves more keenly felt in the
direction of stern debate than in
any other way-indeed, the we'll
known diligence he was wont to
employ in the preparation of his
parliamentary efforts, infallibly be-
trayed the direction in which his
genius lay. And yet, as an orator,
Brougham was not to be mentioned
in the same day with Canning,
whose euphonious style of speak
ing, and elegance of express
sion, won for him universal ad-
miration. Lord Byron some
where, if We remember rightly,
characterizcs Brougham (using his
name in its monosyllabic capacity
as "Blundering Brougham;" and
the writer, though an enthusiastic
admirer of the great statesman,
and having more than once hung
enraptured upon his soul-stirring
eloquence, is free to admit that the
laundering propensity was strong
in one of the greatest men Of mod.
ern times. Let it be candidly ad

actually subseryient to the object
he had in view. His marvellous
tact in escaping from a logical di.

gether unsurpassed. We have ven
tured to surmise that parliamentary
ascendancy was the grand obieci
of Brougham's ambition, and
that his secret desire was that
such ascendancy should make itseli
felt, more especially in the house o.
commons, where antagonists worthy
of his steel were rarely wanting Il
is related Of him that the place Of
chief baron of the exchequer was
