The fact that every man, but one, nomi-
mated on the Butler ticket by the bobtail con-
tEention at Worcester has declined the honor
tandered him would seem to Indicate that the
movement is not such O. tidal wave as Stra-
bisnus Ben would have the country believe
when Butler set out on his crusade he
was single-handed and alone against the
world as the nominee OF the Greenbackers,
and 1t looks now as IL he were
destined to be left alone in his glory, for q
time at least. Mr.. Skillings, the nominee for
State Treasurer, very emphatically and un-
tremendously declined the proffered associ-
alton and declared In his letter OF withdrawal
that he has no sympathy whatever with the
Butler method Of righting the wrongs of tie
Deople, and that, In his opinion, the sooner
the people learn that the real capital of
fhfs country lies in honest labor the better 1t
will be for all.

The New York "Herald" has been

The New York "Herald" has been
advocating change in our systom
of government, or, rather, in one OF
our methods, so far as to allow mem
bers of the cabinet to hold seats in
congress, although without being
members of it. 1t is not easy to see
why mode of administration should
be rejected because it is followed in
Great Britain, provided it be desira-
BILE. AS the "Herald" puts it, "At
present, when congress wishes tn
know the reasons for an act of the
administration, ii adopts a resolu-
tion asking for information. This
is answered at the convenience of the
cabinet minister concerned; and,
usually, before the reply is printed,
public interest in the question has
ceased, and if wrong has been done
it is no longer possible effectively to
expose it; or, if the policy was right,
the defense comes too late, and ir an
ineffective shape" If, for example,
the secretary of the treasury could
set forth tie financial policy
of the government in speeches upon
the floor of the house it certainly
would be better than to do the same
from the stump in his own state.
1t would be more in keeping with
the dignity of the office, and more
satisfactory to the country.

A Tramp's Luck.

The old proverb will have to be amended so as to read, "G loafer for luck" as a number of worthless wan derers have within 8 few months had extraordinary fortune in the mining re- gions of the West. The latest case is that of a vagabond from Australia, who drifted out to Colorado, and reaching Rosita without dollar in his pocket, began digging at Tyndall Hill. Three feet below the soil he found chalky substance which proved to be very rich in carbonate of lead carrying silver. Digging further, he discovered any num- Der of pebbles and boulders coated with pure silver chloride--a formation never before known anywhere. The ore IS richer than the ore of any mine in the country, and yields over 2,00O day. The lucky fellow, Joe Bossick, who, a few months ago, was ragged beggar, is now rich, and likely to be one of the millionaires of the West. He says his circumstances have not changed nearly so much as the behavior toward him of his acq cquaintances in the vicinity of ROSita,

EFFECTS OF OvER-STUDY.
THE INCREASE OF INSANITY ATTRIBUTED TO THE EARLY "FoRCINa OF CHILL DRFN

In a paper read before scientific society in Milwaukee, Dr. Walter Kemp ster, profound student of mental physiology, attributes the increase of insanity in some measure to the manner ill which the minds of children are in- jured by the common method of teach ing. pr. Kempster is superintendent of an insane asylum, and has devoted his time and attention to the study of men, tai disorders and his opinions are worthy of careful consideration. Very few observing people will feel inclined to dispute what he asserts, for the ira tional method of forcing the minds of children, in common use, and the neglect of physical culture. are generally con- demned.
 School directors now admit the injury to the eyes and the general health of scholars from stufing the memory with book lessons, and some efforts are made to introduce oral teaching, but not much progress has been made in the effort to effect reform. If additional incentive were needed, it should be found in the charge now made against the unnatural attempt to fill the minds of young per- sons with the lessons of the textbooks. An undue amount of mental exertion must be injurious, and where it taxes only the memory without proper control of the nobler faculties, the least rehec- tion should satisfy intelligent educators of it's hurtful effects.
 The effect on the health of girls is especially noticeable. In some of the schools the more advanced scholars have to begin their studies at an early hour, and, with brief intervals, spend the day and evening in the tiresome work. A morbid condition of mind and body is an inevitable consequence. The first aim of education should be to promote physical health, for without this there can be no health y development of the mind. The next aim should be to exer- else and train the mind in such manner as will bring forth it's best powers. Recreation, hilarity, and activity are essential to 8 vigorous mental condition, and there should be no serious strain nor long continued exercise of the reflective powers. The great object should be to prepare the young for the useful duties of life and 8 much greater number of hours should be devoted to physical and industrial exercises and recreations than to mental training.

Between Moose and Panther.

The Utica Republican tells story of a party of hunters in the woods of Northern New York that is interesting. Two of the party had left the camp on fishing excursion. Wewill let the hunters tell the story in their own worlds
 While we were elambering along, we were suddenly started by the appearance directly in front of us, and not more than twenty rods distant of large moose, probably eighteen hands high or more, which was making directly for us. In the same moment Smith caught me by the shoulder and pointed to 8 tree near the moose, where beheld the glittering eyes of a panther. We were without arms or ammunition of any kind, the only offensive or defensive weapons we possessed being our pocketknives. The moose was upon us at a glance we knew that he came for protection, but the huge panther still loome ed over us, and had stopped in his headlong course. "Smith,' said I, chow is this ?"
 "I believe we are all right" said Smith. "The moose has come to us for protection, consequently he is not belligerent the panther is undoubtedly cowed by our numbers, or dare not tackle man. Let us build a fire, and I will stay here while you go back to camp and bring the rifle, and have one of the other boys come back with you."
 To this I demurred for long time,
 
 but finally concluded to go, leaving all my traps with Smith, to make the more rapid progress. This part of the story can be told very shortly. I got lost, wandered around until after dark, built a fire, slept some, got out next day and travelled till dark again, built fire, and started next morning (Friday) and tramped until about 10 A. M, when I came to stream and following it down came to Jocks Lake outlet shanty, and from there went back to the Indian River shanty, where the first man to greet me was Smith, who, I supposed, had been converted into panther's meat before this time. I was nearly starved, but asked, "Smith, how was it?"
 After you left," said Smith, 1T got all the wood together I could and kept up the fire, the moose standing back a little, but keeping me between itself and the panther, which kept his position in the tree. We kept this up all night, the moose on one side of me, the panther glaring with his eye-balls of fire upon the other, and you may imagine acted my part as middle-man without getting very sleepy. About sunrise Thursday morning, the panther gave a terrific growl, sprang from the tree, and rapidly disappeared in the forest. While l was watching the panther I had not thought anything about the moose, and when I turned my head he was gone. I immediately came to camp and found you gone. Some went to look for you, some went back with me, but we found no further trace of either the moose or panther"

GOING SOFTLY.

She II akes no moan above her faded flowers She will not vainly strive against her lot, Patient she wears away the slow, sad hours, As If the ray they had were quite forget: While stronger fingers snatch away the sword. And lighter footsteps pass her on the ways, Yielding submissive to the stern award That said she must go softly all her days She knows the pulse is beating quickly yet, She knows the dream is sweet and subtle
 still,
 That struggling from the cloud of past regret, Ready for conflict live Hope, Joy, and Will Sc soon, so soon to veil the eager eyes, To dull the throbbing ear to blame or praise, So soon to crush rewakoning sympathies, And teach them she goes softly all her days, She will not speak or move beneath the doom, She knows she had her day and flung her
 cast;
 The loser scarce the laurel may assume, Nor evening think the monday glow can
 last.
 Only, oh youth and love, as in your pride, Of joyous triumph your gay notes you raise, Throw one kind glance and word where, at
 your side,
 She creeps, who must go softly all her days.
