Capt. Chase assured us should be DONE When
the Hougbton reached the landing at Long Is

board be informed the crowd that the steamer
would not stop at Peakes' Island but would go

wishes and his promise made in the morning.
He also did not go directly to Portland but
did stop at Peakes' Island and receive passen-
gers.

How a Newsboy Saved a Bank.

And now let ME tell you how Did
Icy the newsboy, stepped panic. 1t
was soon after the failure of the Bank
of Pennsylvania, and public confidence
in all moneyed institutions was badly
shaken. Saving funds especially felt
the shock. Well,TIa rumor had gone
abroad about the Savings Fund then
located in the building at the southeast
corner of Tbir.i and Chestnut streets,
where the Western Union Telegraph
office is now situated. The depositors
were mostly Germans, in small amounts
Didley had told me be had $500 depos
tied there, and so when a rush was made
on the bank called on the President as
newspaper man to make inquiries.
Didley hadn't got down town yet, but
some Of the newsboys started for his
house to notify him, while others gath
cred in the crowd. All were as much
interested Is himselfin his finances. A
failure of the bank meant q stoppage Of
theatre tickets. l soon learned that
the Savings Fund was in condition 10
go through if the rush was checked.
But we cant stand this panic. I'll see
that Didley shan't lose cent. if b ave
to pay it out of my cwn pocket said
the President. This touched me, and
resolved TO help him. I'll send Didley
over here when be arrives l suggested
to the President. and when he comes
you give him full liberty to look at the
books, &c, as you have given me. Then
trust to his tact found Didley wait
ing for me at the Office, and told him
the facts. Over he walked, with the
careless air of a capitalist, through the
crowd into the bank, followed by yell
ing mass of newsboys.
Il want to see the President de-
manded Didley
II am here; what can do for you,
Mr.. -" calling him by his proper
name.)

the exact state of affairs. have $500
deposited here. and can't afford to lose
it. But don't want to trouble you by
drawing it out if it is safe. ask you,
on your word Of honor. is it safe ?"
81 assure you that it is, on my word
of honor. But as you have acted so
gentlemanly, walk in and examine the
books"
With one of his little hands thrust
under his short coat tails and the other
placed on his breast. Didley walked IN
to the directors room with all the style
of Rothschild. The rush for money
was temporarily stopped by the crowd
gazing on this little man.
Soon Didley emerged. his face show
ing evident satisfaction. did you get
your money!" was the salutation of
the crowd of boys. as he reached the
step. why should l get my money!
he answered. This banks all safe
| don't scare like these Dutchmen.
Three cheers for the bank - "Three
cheers for Didlcy!" went up from huu-
dreds of youthful throats. The older
folks stood awe-stricken. The conf
dence of the newsboys asserted itself
among them, and by noon the panic
was stopped, and the crowd disap-
pearcd. The bank President after
wards told me that Didley had saved
the bank, as continuance of the rush
wonld have embarrassed them beyond
redemption, before they had time to
dispose of their assets at proper price.

The Legislature and Schools.

The legislature which has recently
adjourned, did very little either for or
against our public schools. The only
laws passed which affect the schools
are the following:
A law forbidding county superintend-
ents, school officers and teachers, to act
as agents for school books.
A law authorizing school boards tc
admit persons Of foreign birth over &C
years of age to the public schools under
certain conditions.
A law authorizing the purchase Of
$50 copies of Webster's Dictionaries, al
sc instead of IS as heretofore.
An amendment to the free higl
school law for the benefit of cities.

Complete returns from New Hamp-
shire show a handsome majority for
the amendment to the Constitution
abolishing the religious test for office,
but the State preserved it's medieval
consistency by defeating, it is believed
by few hundred votes, the proposition
to strike out the word protestant
from the Bill of Rights. The effect OF
the failure of the latter amendment is
hardly likely to be important, though
it is to be regretted; but it is a relief to
know that the only state in the Union
which still excluded Roman Catholics
from office has wiped out that prohib-
ition from it's fundamental law. II

INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS AFFAIRS

Teachers in all their work should aim
to inculcate principles of strict integ-
rity and uprightness in all political and
business transactions The standard
Of business morality is low. Men, who
in social intercourse would be ashamed
to falsify even in the smallest degree
in their business transactions, do not
hesitate to practice gross deception
They seem to think that ideas of strict
ness and honesty are behind the pres
ent age. Such is the greed for sudden
wealth that it has become almost a
settled axiom, with large numbers of
business men, that success cannot be
realized by honest or pure means. Po-
Htical corruption also is doing much tC
scar the public conscience. Nothing is
better understood by the people than
that the average politician is less con
cerned about the welfare of the country
than he is about establishing his own
place and power. So it has come to
pass, that very often men are not Sc
lected on account of their special fit
ness, but because they can, in some
way or other, secure the votes of par
tlcular class, and thus advance the in
terests of the party. So long as they
belong to our party we presume they
must be all right, whereas we discover
every day that no matter what party
they belong to they are not proof
against temptation, but are falling like
the front ranks in battle, mown down
by shot land shell. But is it not time
that we stopped berating the dema-
gogues and turned our attention to the
people themselves If they could only
be made to believe that principle and
not party is the object to be sought, we
should have fewer politicians and more
statesmen; fewer demagogues and more
honest men. Here then is work for
educators. They should endeavor so to
mold character that we shall not be
cursed with partisans, but blessed with
nen-men of independence of thought
and of action, men who are not afraid
to let the world know where they stand
and how they will act. Honesty and
uprightness in thought, word and deed
must be taught, and taught persistently
IT we would seek to remove many of
the evils which exist to an alarming
extent in our business and political
affairs
