SURROUNDED BY FLATTERERS AND
DEcEIvERs.-One of the greatest diff
culties which the head of nation en-.
counters in the administration of govern
ment arises from the impracticability Of
his obtaining accurate information on
public affairs. This remark generally
holds good Of the President of the United
States. The cloud of fatterers who sur.
round the White House envelop him, and
shut out the sunlight of truth from bis
mind. 1t might be supposed that he
would be enlightened by the press. But

America IL woald run out IN the
msrshes of C.cxricA and fow into the
Tuira creek on the Yoa deeiivity. How
ever. il 10 the same road proposed by A.
Won Humboldt. The main question
touching the prospective NicarAgua Ca
nal is that of the construction Of the
locks there to be required. To-day,
locks for nsvigable canals are calculated
to be from ten to eleven metres. The
point then is to construct locks which
will raise and lower the ships at once
from twenty-fo to twenty-five metres.
If that result is effected, the whole val
ley of the San Juan del Norte river will
be put under water by frightening out
the Lake of Nicaragua. The further ex-
ecution Of the enterprise would not meet
with any difficulty worthy of mention.
The society of the projected inter-oceanic
canal entertained the wish that NJ. de
Lesseps would put himself at the head.
However, he believes himself entitled to
leisure and recreation after work like
that of the Suez canal, in order to afford
further moral aid to that class of enter
prises.

ing t rate which sstonished the hun
dreds Of people congregated round the
romantic spot. 1t pumped . stream OF
almost solid oil, about a. thick a. q
mans wrist, for hours, which brought the
enthusiasm of lease-seeker up to fever
heat. Mr.. Archie johnson, who is one
of the leading spirits in this novel enter
prise, informs us that leases on Gle farm
will be rented to-day for q bonus aud
half the oil. The johnson House did q
business yesterday equal to that of the
days Of ancient Pithole. The great rush
seems to be in the vicinity of the produc.
ing wells, but leases are anxiously sought
after and gobbled up from the city limits
to the Venango county line, beyond Pine
Creek. This extraordinary and unprece.
denied development has puzzled the most
astute operators, geolOgists and scientists.
That it is natural deposit sealed up be-
tween two layers Of blue clay in the out
pourings Of the first sand is generally con-
coded. It may extend for miles, and
again it may be limited to the base Of the
hill, where 1t has already been found.
Like the Bullion Run territory, its ex-
tent can only be determined by thorough
ly testing the entire surrounding district.
There is plenty of money here for the
small capitalist. One of the wells, which
cost only $13 to sink, inside day and
half, has pumped twenty barrels q day
since last Saturday.-Tytusvilk Herald.

C0nssansisople the osher day. The march
iron Aldershoet 10 Windsor and the bard.
ships he underwent while being received
by the Queen were too much for him.
Too much if it be true, - stated, that the
casualties Of the day amounted to near
one thousand out Of the fourteen thousand
men engaged. The corps might have
gone through q tolerably brisk action
without losing greater percentage. Heat
and fatigue were the cause of the gaps in
the ranks, and there are the usual ex.
PLANTATION that the men were overmarched
and kept needlessly long under arms.
Probably that is true, but there is NO rea-
con to suppose it would be less true if the
troops had been in actual service. It 10
affirmed also that the Queen had been ex-
pected to 90 to Aldershott and review
the troops there. Disliking to expose
herself to the heat and dust, she ordered
her little army to Windsor. It may ap.
pear to the impartial outsider that the
heat and dust were not likely to be less
for $4,000 men marching from Aldershott
to Windsor, than for one elderly lady
driving from Windsor to Aldershott in .
carriage. But there can beno doubt that
the army ought to have been able - do
what was asked of it; and If it were not,
the sooner the fact was ascertained the
better. It will not do for staff officers
to complain of "short notice." It might
happen that the Russians would some
day be 90 forgetful of good manners a.
to give them no notice at all.-Lond0n

The Moons of Mars.

A discovery that will rank among the
most important in astronomy was made
at Washington, on the night of the 10th
inst, by Prof. Asaph Hall. The planet
Mars, since the invention of the telescope,
has proved more convenient for examin-
alton, and there is more known about it
than any other celestial object, mot even ex-
cepting the Moon, since Of that only one
side is ever turned toward US. Venus,
though nearer US than Mars, is never seen
to Is great advantage. All who have stud
led the characteristics of Mars have been
struck by its similarity in many particu-
lars to the earth; such as having continents
and seas; frozen poles where the pro.
gress of winter and summer can be alter
nately traced; day of about the same
length as ours; an atmosphere over por-
tons of which clouds are fitting. But
the one thing in which Mars was sup
posed to differ totally from the earth was
the absence of moon. That reproach
is now taken away from the red planet,
thanks to the twenty six inch refractor at
the United States Naval Observatory,
and the labors of Prof. Hall. At tho
present time Mars is in better position
for close observation than has been the
case for several years. The refracting
telescope Of the Observatory is the best
instrument of its kind which has ever
been turned toward the sky. Yet in the
hands Of less experienced and alert OBJ
servers this discovery would never have
been made. For, strange to say, the ex.
istence of satellite Of Mars had not
been suspected, while tho traditions of
modern astronomy are rife with specula.
tons as to such companion to the
planet Venus. The question now is, not
whether Mars has satellite, but whether
it has two.

Ar the st. Louis Public School Board
meeting last June, IL WAS agreed 10 pat
colored teachers in charge of the colored
schools of this city, if sufficient number
could be found able to pass the necessary
examination. Within . week about
twenty colored men and women arrived,
from different parts Of the country; seven
of these passed satisfactory examination
and will receive commissions. The COL
ored people there are highly delighted at
the success Of the trial 20 far. A large
number of teachers 10 necessary, and fur
ther examinations will be made.
TIE average teaching in the higher
schools does not please the editor Of TIE
National Ts0chsrs' Aoxthly. He says: "If

norance Of it, science and art. The writer
