A Bit of Moss.

To the eye of Him who watches over
sparrow's fall there is nothing great,
nothing small. The man of science
trains his eye to a similar impartiality
III looking at nature. A moss to the un-
trained eye seems insignificant. To
the eye of the bctanist it is a little
world. A friend once complained to
the great Swedish botanist that Sweden
did not afford scope enough for the
study OF nature. Linn@us laid his
hand upon bit of moss, on bed of
which they were reclining, and said:
Under this palm is material for the
tudy of lifetimel"
One day, when lost in an African
desert, Mungo Park came across tuft
of moss. This bit of green growing in
ar arid waste was a messenger from
God to the Responding explorer.
If God cares for the MOSS" he said
to himself, surely He cares for me. y
And he went on his way, exhilarated by
the sight of bit of moss.
Wordsworth speaks to ears that can
hear:
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

Western Educational Institutions.

No greater truism was ever written by
pen or uttered by lip than that "Educa-
ton is the lever that moves the world"
And no people in the wide world seem
to have truer appreciation OF this fact
than the jewellers In that grand region
denominated "the West" In the giant
strides which that section of our coun-
try has of late made In population,
wealth and material progress, no inter
est has improved and expanded with
more rapid pace than her educational
institutions.
1t is only a few years since parents
living in the West who desired to give
their children thorough education,
preparatory or collegiate, were COM
PEELED to send them to some Eastern
school, college or university, hundreds
OF miles away, thus entailing the addi-
tional expenses incident to travelling.
besides the unpleasant feature of hav-
ing them SO far away from home.
Happily for the West, this difficulty has
been removed. Her institutions of
learning to-day will compare favorably
with those of the older States, and her
preparatory schools are equal to any in
the country. Many of her universities
are richly endowed, and have profess
sors who, for deep learning and capacity
for dispensing knowledge, are unsur-
passed anywhere in the land.
The educational facilities of the West
being fully equal to those of the East,
there no longer exists any reason why
parents should send their children so
far away from home to educate them.
On the contrary, there are manifold rea-
sons why they should look nearer home
for fountains Of knowledge. In the
first place, when the expense of getting
to and from the Eastern schools and
colleges is taken into consideration, the
cost of an education acquired in West
ern schools is much less than in the
Eastern. In fact, the difference is so
very great that it will in future figure
as very important factor in influencing
the public in favor of the Western
schools. Again, those who patronized
the Western colleges will enjoy the ad-
vantage of having their children nearer
home. They will be enabled to see and
converse with them frequently, and re-
fresh their minds regarding their morals
and the duties devolving upon them as
students and seekers after knowledge,
and in case of sickness they can be
more readily reached and cared for.
Finally, the schools and colleges of the
West are comparatively free from many
vicious practices that have grown up in
the old universities of the Eastern and
Middle States, and which seem to be a
sort OF second nature with the students
in those institutions. We allude to the
disreputable and dangerous pastimes
known as "hazing," rushing" and oc-
casionally open rebellion against the
authorities. There is none OF that petty
spite and luminosity against their in
structors which, in many of the Eastern
colleges, is so deplorably prevalent.
Parents living in the West who con-
template giving their children a liberal
education ought to take these facts into
consideration and patronize home in
stitutions.

The Most Miraculous Escape From Injury on
Record.
from the Cincinnati Enquirer. !

FROM the Cincinnati fnquirer.]
CAROLS building, on Water street, is
one of the largest houses of the kind in
the bottoms" In one of the fourth
story looms of the building a woman
has twenty-months'-old child. Last
Wednesday evening the little chap got
out of his cradle, toddled to the window,
lost his balance and fell out, striking on
the stone steps below. The mother
rushed down, expecting to find
her darling mutilated corpse,
but was rejoiced to hear it exercising a
healthy pair of lungs. Of course every
one In the building thought the child
was hurt internally, and a policeman
was dispatched after DR.. Marcus. The
doctor responded, but failed to find
even scratch or bruise upon his pa
tent CD and yesterday it was as "chip
per" as ever, and has every prospect for
a long life. Just think of it-a four
story fall and the child still lives un-
hurt!

A Maori Fast Woman.

She wore tall, black hat and dark
veil, a dark-blue well-ftting riding
habit, a dainty pink and white necktie
L afterward saw she wore pair OF
French-looking boots and black and
white stockings. She was, in fact, a
"real dark swell" She talked little
English, and, after hearing of my plight,
she made the third rider, an ordinary
looking native, dismount, and give me
his horse, he remaining to do what he
could for mine. We rode on to ma
tive village, and there had some boiled
potatoes and dried peaches for lunch.
My fair riding companion soon after
ward appeared without the riding
habit, but with dirty clay pipe in her
mouth. 1 fear her civilization, like her
dress, was only new habit, whose
greatest charm was the ease with which
it could be discarded. -Frazer'S Mag

Another Account Of Custer's Death.

Some little time ago your local cor
respondent at this point sent you an
account of Clusters death, which turns
out to have been erroneous. An In.
dian represented to him that Custer
shot himself when he saw his troops
abandoning him. Conversation with
several warriors who were present at
the fight, and with Obo, brother of
Little Knife, demonstrate that the sui
eide was accidental, and that the officer
was not Custer. Obo says he saw the
officer and attacked him. The officer
turned his horse and fled, shooting at
Obo over his shoulder as the Indian
pursued. One of the shots intended
for Obo, instead of passing over the
officers shoulder, pierced his breast,
and he fell dead ut the redskins feet
Three or four warriors corroborate
each other in their description of Gus
ter's fate. He was cheering on his men
and firing his pistol In the air-the cav
airy signal to charge. From the start
in he was in advance of his command,
and. when he fell, was between the In
dams and bis flying squadrons. While
irving to restore some kind Of order in
his broken ranks, a stray shot killed a
Young buck not far from the Generals
position. The bucks brother, lad
l5 years of age, seized the dead war
rior's gun, and, taking deliberate aim,
shot Custer dead. and the battle was
finished. My informants describe Gus
ter accurately, as they saw him before
and after the shot. They knew him
