COLLEGE EDUCATION.
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN,

rep. I|Cl, lSIJ.
 ED. ENQ-In the discussion of the above subject you are so far ahead, that do not see how one can attempt further replies. The val ue of a college education is disputed by none, but the difference of opinion is on its quality and character. Knowledge of truth and fact is more powerful than knowledge of fiction, fancy and obsolete ways. Of all knowledge nothing can equal science. Indeed, religion yields to science, where conflict arises What cared Christ for the languages that were dead to his time? He was teaching knowledge, not fancy. It is science alone, that is accomplish ing the important work of college reform. On the other hand, the best scholars, as a rule, under the ''present system," are our most con- servative, unprogressive and most dangerous men. They would lead the world backwards instead of forwards. Probably the Catholic priest learns Latin more thoroughly than the protestant minister. Is he, therefore, safer religious guide? Henry Ward Beecher says he never could preach till he got above books. The Rev. Mr. Talmadge says he had no sue cess till he stopped preaching things he could not understand himself, and confined himself to that which he himself could understand. Reforms have never originated with the learned. This is practical age and the 'pres- ent system" must ''go to the wall" We know it will die hard but the sooner and the more effectually it is disposed of, the better will it be for the country. E. W. B.

 ED. ENQ.-Below zero! The weather has sagged back, and the ground hogs ahead, and Tice nowhere, zero minus 15 c, and aIl's we'll I did not see it, but have it on the authority of others that on observation day." the ground hog came out early in the day, determined to catch the first passing cloud, but nary a cloud was to be seen. He lsafed around the streets for several hours, but his shadow continued to follow him with terrible pertinacity. At last he gave it up and retired to his hole for another long sleep whereat old Sol smiled a smole," and retired about o'clock behind a friendly cloud to hide his bushes. After nearly month of almost spring weather, and the ice on the river had become so weak that two or three teams had broken through and lives were saved with difficulty, the ''Man ato- ba wave" struck us and saved our ice bridge. It is now strong enough for the heaviest load ed teams again.
 In recent number of your paper you spoke of Clinton as being opposite" Lyons Fulton is the name of the city opposite Lyons in Illi- uOlS, OI IuC CdSt udllk LII Iue TlFeT, duU udS from 1, ,500 to 1,700 inhabitants. It has co lege, and two railroad depots, but is not very thriving city. Clinton is little over two miles south of us( from center to center )though adjoining and built up most of the way be- tween, connected by horse-cars running every fifteen minutes, and steam cars by two routes north to Dubuque and St. Paul, and north west to Anamosa. Clinton claims 5000 and Lyons 4,0O0 inhabitants Trains from the East pass through Fulton, run South to a point opposite Clinton on the east bank of the river, and cross the bridge into Clinton. The river at this point is little over half mile wide, connection by steam ferry or an ice bridge. The Western Union Railroad, con- meeting Milwaukee and Rock Island, runs through the eastern part of Fulton. The de- pot or junction. with the North Western rail- road is nearly mile back from the river. All our mails (except North Vest are taken by hack to this depot, and collected there; also most of our passengers and newspapers cross h this hack, saving about twenty minutes time on going around by railroad-cost the same either way.

A young man from the country went to have a tooth stopped. The dentist advised him to have the tooth taken out, and assured him that he would feel no pain If he enhaled laughing gas. "But what is the effect of the gas ?'' asked the youth. '1t simply makes you to- tally insensible," answered the dentist; ''you don't know anything that takes place. The rustic assented, but just previous to the gas being administered he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out his money ''Oh, don't trouble about that now," said the dentist, thinking that he was going to be paid his fee. Not at all, /" remarked the patient; '.I was simply going to see how much had before the gas took effect"

LoNG-DIsTANCE WALKING. distance walking was imported from the United States, where 1t seems to have come into existence about the time when negro slavery was abol- ished. Perhaps in viewing the agonies of half-dead man staggering along track to the music of band, and much to che anxiety of a doctor, the public found some compensation for the loss of the heprivilege of thrashingits own nigger. Or, again, as prize-fighting decayed, long distance walking may naturally have talk en it's place. Two men who have walked 400 miles in week are almost as agreeable to look upon as two men who have been pounding each others faces for three hours with their fists. In the latter case, to be'sure, there is the fierce delight of battle, which every one can enjoy if he hardens his heart. Long walk ing, on the other hand, is scarcely more divert ing than the slower tortures of the Inquisition, which only began to afford the spectator en- tertainment after the victim had suffered for some considerable time. As long as long distance walker is.tolerably fresh, and going within himself, there is little excitement ill watching him. It is about the fifth day that sleeplessness and fatigue tell on him, and the sport begins He limps along, suffering tor ments from fostering heel. His brain is be- unused with exceeding toll; and as he stag gers mechanically round, it is said that curi- ous visions beguile him. He does net see the crowd, which stares, smokes, and drinks. He does not hear the music, which mixes in a dream of his past life. He thinks that he is working in some country place that he knew long ago before he was q long distance walker, and mirage floats before him, like that which cheats wanderers in the desert. When his hour is up, he staggers into his bedroom and there, let us hope, has the good fortune to be- come quite senseless and indifferent As the last day of the competition approaches, the softer-hearted lookers-on wish to have some of the walkers removed; but their packers will not permit this. Men are compelled to subject themselves, to this voluntary torture, which equals those to which red Indian braves ex- pose themselves.-The Saturday ReUie,o.

WHERE DO IMMIGRANTS Go Tt is interest ing to know, ill these continued dull times, where all the people go. All the cities, and most of the states, seem to be losing consider able numbers: who gets them They must go somewhere. It seems they still go west. The governor of Kansas estimates that every western state gets some; he says the population of Kansas is increasing at the rate of 100000 a year. The receipts into the state treasury for the last fiscal year were $1, 5S4, 891, including balance on hand of $37S, ,215; and the expen- ditures were $1,272, 910, leaving balance in the treasury of $311, ,9s0. The bonded debt is only $1, 1S1,975.
 Texas is another growing state With terri tory enough to make ten ample states-an en- pire, in itself, larger than France-its milder climate and productive lands are beginning to draw thither the beginnings of what is destin- ed to be vast population by the close of this century. It has doubled within the last eight years. Upwards of million have been added to the population of Texas within the last sev- en years. The tide sets that way. It is

Any one would naturally suppose that the dainty little package which the stylishly dres- sed lady in the horse cars guards so carefully, contains some fragile specimen of ceramics; but closer inspection will reveal the fact that an eight cent tin skinner is cutting through the thin paper, and giving away the fair own- CT as a patron of household art' in it's more primitive and useful form.

The most thorough work on the alcohol question IS that of Dr. B. w. Richardson, Eel low of the Royal College of Physicians, of England. His conclusion is that alcohol in it. self is not food, although people who take much of it will become fat under its influence. They become so, however, because alcohol in- terferes with the nutritive processes, and acts like drag on the wheels within. The man gets fat because the system does not throw off from it the refuse matter which it is necessary to get rid of. The fattening is caused by the arrest of vital pr0cess necessary to health it betokens disease rather than health, and after awhile, perhaps, the man dies of a fatty heart, and the physicians call it heart disease. Or, what is still more common, he dies bloated up with vast and unnatural dropsy, the result of the breaking down of the overworked and im- portant secreting organs, like the liver and kid neys, and the physicians call it Bright's disease of the kidneys. -Hartord Times.

Lord Beaconsfeld to strangers is an amia- ble old old gentleman, bwho converses with languid interest about music and paint ing, with some animation about turnips and cattle, and with DO fire at all, but rather de- mnre composure, about politics and the spread of Roman Catholicism in England. He has a loud, grating voice, which changes only when he is warmed. He likes flowers, perfumes, and fruit. He eats great deal of champagne jel- ly, and drinks great deal of black coffee He never smokes. He dresses to perfection, knowing exactly what style of clothes best suits him. Into newspapers he hardly ever dips. Sometimes when sitting alone he rests his head on his hand and gazes into the fire or out of the window. No man can boast that he has obtained glimpse of ''the Sphinx's" true mind.
