for us TO muster our forces for the cd

impress upon the minds of our teach,
ers the importance OF enlisting public
sentiment In favor of the public schools.
1t is q part Of the teachers mission to
educate the patrons of our schools to
a just appreciation of the worth OF
these institutions. This can best be
done in educational meetings held in
the district, and in securing the coop.

in this way can improve themselves,
and thus improve their schools, and be
enabled also to bring before the peo.

philosophy that has been thrust upon
society in the great and unnatural
scramble Tor wealth and power and
distinction. The doctrine OF taking
care of number one is the doctrine OF
selfishness in its common application
A man may best take care of his own
highest interests, by taking care of the
interests of his fellows and recognizing
their right to an equal share of the
comforts and conveniences Of liie-not
the mere material wealth that is rep.
resented by houses and lands and gold
and silver, but the higher possessions
of soul and mind, and those acts that
outlive the storms of Time and the
wearing processes Of the centuries, the
grand nobility that lives in the written
and unwritten annals OF the ages alike.
In the common struggle Of life, men
do not want sympathy half so much as
they want justice, and the false impress
sion has gone forth broadcast that sym
pathy is being bestowed when but par
tial justice is being doled out with a
niggard and miserly hand. Every man
in every walk Of life, from the lowest
to the highest, is entitled to justice.
When he properly discharges dutyit
should be recognized and set down to
his credit. The fact that this is not
done as it should be done in the great
majority of cases, accounts for the hu-
man wrecks that cumber the road and
retard human progress, and fill the
world with the larger part of its
grief and sin and misery. 1t is Meth
er sympathy nor fatery to recognize
mans merits to ignoro them is igo-
tism in nine hundred and ninety-nine
cases out of q thousand. The dollars
and cents paid to the faithful and ef-
ficient laborer are only small portion
of his hire. They serve TO supply his
physical wants, but the justice that
man owes to man will alone meet the
requirements of bis higher and better
manhood. But this is what is most
generally withheld, and the mentalm
starves and withers and perishes by the
waysidc, and adds the evergrowing
drift of wrecked humanity and drouth-
consumed human hopes and honorable
ambitions The egotsm that fears to
acknowledge an equal in some strug-
Cling being, feeds and fattens
upon the fruits and flowers that belong
to others, and not only grows flinty
and soundless itself, but breaches
through its acts the pessimise doctrine
that mildews all that is farest and
brightest in human nature.
What wonderful text for the pull
pit what prolific theme for the plat
form what a subject for the press is
here afforded. When we reflect that
on all sides of us are men who might
have contributed much to make the
world wiser and better if their honest
efforts had but met the encouragement
and justice Of recognition, but who are
broken down and disheartened through
selfshness and neglect and egotism,
well may we ask is humanity failure
lis modern civilization over estimat-
ed ?--PttSbWg Telegraph

WRECKS OF HUMANITY

If one could gather up all the wrecks
that are strewn along the shores of
the sea of life-lclt there by the ebb of
generations, or cast up by the stormy
waves of social and political revolution
what world of shattered hopes,
misdirectcd and unapprcciatcd ambi,
tions and buned.out aspirations, that
flickered in their sockets rs the night
grow denser, might he build up and
adorn with dreamed.of bnt unattained
and unrealized splendors. OF all the
mournful things that man can contem-
plate in his thoughtful moments, none
are more profound than the wrecks OF
humanity that arc strewn about on
every hand and meet him at every turn.
We do not refer TO the criminal
classes who people the prisons and
poison the purlieus of the cities, or
wreck tho happy peace of reputable
homes-the social stars shaken from
their orbits to fall into the waste places
and add TO the accumulations Of de.
pravity and desolation but to those
who earnestly and honestly strove to
achieve something and fell by the way
side, the victims Of human scishness
more frequently than the victims of
misdirccted cffort-men with high and
lofty and honorable intentions and no.
bic resolves, wounded in spirit and
crushed by neglect, till every incentive
was anhihlated and their steps were
turned on tho down grade and into the
current that carries the drift to deposit
it upon tho common delta of obscurity.
And in each one that falls and per
ishcs, the world is the loser and hu.
manity the victim Of robbery. 1t is
not TO be wondered at, that the high.
est civilization of the age is full of do.
fects and gangrene, when so little en-
couragement is given TO honest effort,
and instead of the fields of labor being
irrigated with the generous Paotolcan
waters, they are washed bare and
made desolate with the angry floods OF
selfshness. Human progress and CIV.
ilization are not materially promoted
by occasional individual distinctions
that stand like great towers ovcrtop-
ping and dwariing the smaller but per.
haps moro useful, structures at their
feet. Numbers rather than magnitude
are essential to progress and perfection,
and as a consequence when one is built
nm and exalted nj the cxnenee of n hun.

disturbed by the internal forces which
cause that continual remodelling OF q

must soon pass away. Again, in that
remote period the sun himself was ap-
preciably younger for we must re.
member that although measured by
ordinary time intervals, the sun seem

of heat day by day, q real process OF

AT one time there there must have
existed on Mars as near an approach
to the present general condition dur

difference in the surface gravity Of the
planets, and with other difierenees-in-
herent as il were in their nature. Since
Mars must also have passed through
the fiery stage of planotery life, and
through thatintermediate period when,
as it would SEEM life springs spontan-
eously into being under the operation
Of natural laws not yet understood by
us, we cannot doubt that when his
globe was thus fit for the support of
lie, life existed upon it. Thus for o
season enormously long compared
with our ordinary time measures, but
very short compared with the liie.sup.
porting era of our earth's career
Mars was a world like our own, filled
with various forms of life. Doubtless
these changed as the conditions around
them changed, advancing or retro.
grading as the conditions were favar-
able or the reverse, perhaps develop
ing into forms corresponding to the
various races OF men in the possession
of reasoning powers, but possibly only
attaining to the lower attributes OF
consciousness when the development
of lilc on Mars was at its highest,
theneeforth passing by slow degrees
into lower types as the old age Of Mars
approached, and finally perishing as
cold and death seized the planet for
their prey.

TALLEYRAND'S MEMOIRS

ED THIRTY YEARS AFTER MS DEATH,


1t is now said that the memoirs
which Talleyrand lett behind him, to
be published thirty years after bis
death, will probably appear in Paris
the coming winter, as it was determin-
ed in 1868 that the period should be
extended ten years, in consequence of
certain persons nearly related to the
events narrated still surviving at that
time. This work has been anxiously
expected, and it can hardly fail to be
OF extraordinary interest, not to the
French alone, but to Europe generally,
and to America also. The limping
devil, as the author has been called,
living through so many stirring years
--he was over eighty.four when he
died-and played so active a part in
the memorable things that happened,
that his observations and recoliections
will pique, while they crafty, intellec-
tual curiosity. He had, too, such a
cool, deliberate, brilliant, bitter way
Of saying things that his recital must
be materially enhanced. Nearly all

1t is probably necessary for those
who were not present to observe the
proceedings to explain what occurred
during the foregoing ballotngs. Rule
XIII, requires that six ballots be taken
before any of the names of the candi-
dates are dropped. This rule is very
good one, under certain circumstances,
but its enforcement kills time awfully
and produces no result, Hence, the
Convention suspended it as in doing so
it did not effect the rights Of any of
the candidates and facilitated the bu-
siness of the Convention wonderfully.
By mutual consent second ballot was
taken resulting the same as the first.
On the third ballot the name of Mr..
Gregory was dropped, sending his two
delegates to Bennett on second instruc-
tions. On the fourth ballot tho name
of Mr. McAteer was dropped, adding
two more TO DIR. Bennett. and two TO
