The latest Princeton row was between the
theological students and the Juniors. An
attempt was made to ''haze'' some of the
"Theologues," but these gentlemen happened
to belong to the church militant and routed
their assailants. The Juniors returned,
armed with clubs, and succeeded in breaking
one mans nose. Perhaps the Faculty would
do well to turn the offenders over to the
officers of the law, and no longer strive to
suppress these disturbances by its own meth

THERE must be much disaffection toward
their British rulers among natives of India,
judging by the restrictions put upon the ma
tive press. The papers out there are begia-
ming to talk of freedom and to intimate that
the British are intruders. The Intimidation
of native magistrates" consists in calling
these men traitors for entering the service OF
the English Government.

Take Time to Rest.

Most men and women must keep
in the traces and keep pulling the
year round. All the more it is their
duty to take things easier as the
longer days come on. the Longer
rest at aoon. Put on less steam
when you are at work. Snatch
Sunday now and then from the mid
die of the week. You can't You
can. People find time to be sick
and to die. These can just as easily
find time to rest and keep we'll. All
does not depend on finishing that
dress or fencing that field; or putting
up so much fruit, or catching so
many customers. Better that the
children should wear old clothes
than that their mothers should be
laid aside by fever. Better that
the corn crop be little lighter than
that there should be no one to har-
vest it. Put up the store shutters
earlier at night. prepare palmer
meals in the kitchen. Take noon
day nap yourself, and give your
employees a chance to 60 fishing Of
an afternoon, now and then. That
only is duty which the Lord lays
upon us, and He is not so hard 9
master as we do sometimes suppose

Grape Culture.

Any person of common intelli"
renee can learn in an hour how to
trim and nou-ish vines. Three vines
of as many different varieties, plant'
ed in some sunny nook or by the
side of a building so as to obtain
shelter, will, if properly cared for,
furnish many a bushel of delicious
grapes every year. Select a con-
cord and two OF three other varie"
ties. Make the ground mellow and
rich By the use Of a spade, and by
employing old manure, finely ground
bones and ashes, and set out the
plants. In three years the rich
clusters will appear, and in four
years the product will be abundant.
1t is we'll to have vines planted so
that the waste liquids from the
dwelling can be used in fertilization.
If there is any liquid the vine es-
pecially loves. it is the soapy liquids
which accumulate on washing days
in families. Vines drenched every
week with these liquids will flourish
astonishingly, and extend themselves
so as to cover large buildings, every
branch bearing fruit.

Catching Bugs.

A writer in a French horticultu-
raj journal relates this suggestive
experience : " After sunset | place
in the center of my orchard an old
barrel, the inside of which l have
previously we'll ;arred. At the bot"
tom of the barrel [ place a lighted
lamp. Insects of many kinds, at"
tracted by the light, make for the
LAMP, and, while circling aronnd it,
stick against the sides of the bar
rel, where. meeting with the tar,
their wings and feet become SO clog
ged that they fall helpless to the
bottom. In the morning l examine
the barrel, and frequently take out
of it ten or twelve gallons of cock"
chafers, which I at once destroy. A
few pence worth of tar employed in
this way will, without any further
trouble, be the means of destroying
innumerable numbers of these in
sects,. whose larvae are among the
most destructive pests the gardner or
farmer has to contend with.

Diphtheria.

Diphthcria appears by no means
to be o modern disease. In fact,
according to an article which recent
ly was published in the Boston Jour-
nal Of Chemistry, diphtheria was
known in Egypt more than 1900
years ago, extended through that
country and Asia Minor for. about
FIVE hundred years, and then found
its way into the South of Europe,
where it received its present name.
In tie year $50 it appeared in
Rome; in 1887 it ragged as an 'epi"
demic in Holland, entered Paris in
1876. and showed itself in America
in It'll. In 1878 and 1885 it was
very prevalent in France, and about
1856 was epidemic in England, and
in the United States was a terror
for several years.

Earache Cured.

Make q depression in the centre
of a small piece of cotton batting,
or cotton wool, and fill it with as
much ground pepper as will rest on
a FIVE cent piece. Gather it in a
ball, tie it up, and, after dipping the
ball into sweet oil, insert it in the
ear, covering the latter with cotton
wool and use q bandage to keep it
in its place. Almost instant relief
will be experienced, and the appli"
cation is so gentle that an infant will
not be injured by it, but experience
relief rs we'll as an adult.

will produce manure in winter to the

And TO say, Thy will he done
Then hut here the words grew fainter

Then they bore the angel mother
To the dark aud silent tomb.

Wrapt in sorrow and in gloom.

Left to roam the world alone,
Till the holy angels called her
To that bright and better home.

The Mississippi Pine Log Bin.

Wash. Special March IL Chicago Tribune
There was an animated debte in the Senate
upon the Mississippi pine log bill. Blaine
showed, in support of the charge that the
interior department may have been mis-
taken, that great injustice was done in
Montana by forcing people there, at the out
break of the winter, to pay 81 per cord for
stumpage for firewood taken from the gov
eminent lands, in accordance with i'm
memorial custom, when the real stumpaoe
should not have been more than 25 cents.
1t was easy, however, to see that Blaine had
a decided animus in his attack upon Schurz.
1t was not difficult between the lines to see
that Blaine remembered that Schurz op-
posed his nomination at Cincinnati, and was
one OF number of liberals who declared
t u tney would not support the Republican
'lche1 II Blaine was nominated. Blaine's
speech to-day appeared to have been used as
means of getting even with Schurz
sargent, of California, was ready to sup
port Blaine. Sargent, too, has grievance,
as the operations of his friends in the desert
land matter have been defeated
Schurz undoubtedly made mistake in
the exorbltant charge of 81 per cord for
stnmpage IN Montana, but there is no doubt
that the Senate made an infinitely greater
blunder to-day in passing bill the effect
of which will be to permit organized gangs
of timber-thieves in Mississippi to continue
their depredations upon the government.
Many Republican Senators hostile to the adj
ministration were by their votes placed in
the curious position of coming to the rescue
OF tlmber-thieves and open yiolaters of public
law for the sake of gratifying their spite on

dresses for Prince Carnival and his prin-
cesses are superbly gorgeous and new from
the costumer. Among other attractions
upon the stage will be a pantomime with a
statue, harlequin, clown, pantaloon, column
bine, marquis and artist, all appropriately
dressed; several tableux vivant will be given,
and the Liederkranz and other musical So
cieties will render several choice selections,
comic and otherwise.
Street cars will be in waiting till IL
