tainly the physical stomach not
sooner than the mental. The mind
demands for It's food something bet
ter than the dry bones of mathemat-
les. The problems of life are not
all figures and algebraic equations.
When one meets his family at the
close Of the day he dosen't talk on
long division nor cipher out future
happiness by the rule of three
When he talks to his family or his
friends, he uses, or certainly ought
to use, grammar. When he reads
in his paper abont the capitulation
of Adrianople, he dosen't locate by
allegation. He who does not know
grammar, either from books or inn
bibed with his mother tongue, is
compelled to feel his weakness
every time he takes his pen to
write, and to exhibit it almost every
time he opens his mouth to speak.
Every day, indeed almost every
waking aour of ones life, language
is on the the tongue; that language
too whose purity it is duty to pre-
serve, and concerning which Shak-
speare sighed because that little
isle imprisoned all its sweetness
Its substance, if not its sweetness,
is now found in almost every nook
and corner of the great globe, and
he who does not wish to learn to
speak it in its purity nor to write
it correctly does not wish for a vast
amount of treasure which the
world holds in an open hand.
Every body gets tired of study
ing one thing after a while. Even
grown folks would rather be ex-

steady thing it gets monotonous

study, next to the most important,
and not to be in any way under
rated, but no scholar who has life
enough to make it worth his while
to live can study arithmetic alone
and keep out of mischief. The
great majority Of the faculties of
the mind will have nothing to do
with figures and they will not sleep
all day and any attempt to compel
them to do so will prove both fruit
less and harmful. Idleness and
mischief are in close communion
with all such one sided mental ac-
tivity. This must be so. The mind,
and especially the youthful mind,
is so constituted by nature that
after studying certain subject for
a time, those faculties employed
must rest. AS soon as those fac
ulties, not the whole mind, become
weary, they refuse to work. 1t is
useless to compel them. The eff
fort will he mere dawdling. Other
faculties are fresh they should he
put TO work, and when these are
weary, still use others in their
stead.

1t is quite common thing for
notes, something like the following,
to be received at school: "Please
excuse John from studying gram
mar and geography. l want him
to put his time on arithmetic" 1t
is no doubt safe to assume that in
large majority of cases these
notes are dictated by the pupils
themselves, or are obtained by
their earnest solicitations. Not a
girl in all our schools this year has
presented single request of that
sort. Nearly all were presented
ny the largest boys in school, hoys
too, who have the ability to do
much more than their Younger
classmates, If they only had the
will. The intention is sometimes,
perhaps, usually honest enough,
but any hope of parents huilt on
such a foundation Will be pretty
certain to I've met 10y disappoint-
ment.

DENNIS SAID TO BE DIsGUsTED.-
According To a Washington dispatch to
the New York Times, l.. 6. Dennis,
who recently made The confession about
the election in Alachua county, Florida.
is greatly disguised with the course of
the democrats, and has gone back TO
Florida. He is represented as saying
that he thinks the democrats Will pro-
ceed to investigate the presidential
question about the "time of kingdom
come :" that they do not seem TO have
either courage or ability. Dennis says
he did believe the democrats wanted TO
show up the Florida fraud, but has now
found what they want to do is to show
up republican frauds and ''suppress
every evidence of their own crimes" He
says the facts as stated by him in regard
to the Alachna frauds were true, but
their republication was willful viola
tion of confidence by prominent Flor
ida democrat. Dennis claims that the
lukewarmness of the democrats in pro-
ceeding to an investigation is due to the
fact that 'the investigation gun scatters
badly that it not only involves Florida,
but the WoImley Hotel business and
the Louisiana investigation" lie sup
poses that few republicans might suffer
from an investigation, but is of the opln-
ion that .if some of the tall sycamores
among the democrats don't get over
THROWN" then he is greatly mistaken.

THERE was a session of the United

desire to give this fact all the promi-

should like to sec it displayed on trans

have a printed notice sent to Senator

why Hayes Pensioned Packard

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
We assume therefore, that Packard has
been selected, not because he is gentle
man, n statesman, or entitled to the res
pect of his own party, but rather because
he was co-worker in the conspiracy
against the majority of the American peo-
pie because he aided in consummating
the Louisiana frauds because he is in
possession of secrets which, if made public
would effectually damn. The incident
is most humiating, and will be alculat-
ed to arouse public attention and indig-
nation.

A. M. Sisson had a vault built in Laurel
Hill cemetery at a cost Of about ST, 900.
On Thursday last a large and beautiful
figure of an angel, cut at a cost of 81 500,
was placed On a pedestal over the vault.
On Friday afternoon a number of boys in
vaded the cemetery, and selecting the
prominent figure, noticed above, for a tar
get, they practiced on it with stones and
brickbats, breaking and defacing it in
such a manner as to leave it in a state of
ruin. The matter was placed in the hands
of Detective Rogers, who yesterday arrested
six young vandals, living in the neighbor-
hood, who are believed to comprise the
entire party engaged in the work of demol-
ition. They range from seven to fourteen
years of age. Their bail is fixed at 81 900
each.
Union Hall was filed last evening with
the adherents of Dennis Kearney, on the
occasion Of q farewell benefit rendered him

being confined to his house by sickness.
A party Of German scientists, headed by
