well content with the prospects of
fellow so endowed
sThe other point which / wish to
impress upon you is, that competitive
examination, useful and excellent as
it is for some purposes,is oniya very
partial test of what the winners will
be worth in practical life. There are
people who are neither very clever
nor very industrious,n nor very strong,
and who would probably be nowhere
in an examination, and who yet ex.
ert great influence in virtue of what
is called force of character They
may not know much, bat they take
care that what they do know they
know well. They may pot be very
quick, but the knowledge they acquire
sticks. They may not even be par
ticularly industrious or enduring, but
they are strong of will and firm of
purpose, undaunted by fear Of re-
sponsibility, single minded and trust
worthy. La practical life a man Of
THE sort is worth any number of
merely clever and learned people. OF
course | do not mean to imply for a
moment that success in examination
is incompatible with the possession
of character such as | have Just De.
fined it. but failure in examination is
no evidence of the want of such char
acter.
And this leads me TO administer
from my point of view the crumbs OF
comfort which on these occasions is
ordinarily offered to those whose
names do not appear upon the
prize list 1t is quite true that prac
teal life issa kind oflong competitive
examination, conducted by that
severe pedagogue Professor Circum-
stance. But my experience leads me
to conclude that his marks are given
much more for character than for
cleverness. Hence, though | have
no doubt that those boys who have
received prizes TO. day have already
given rise to lair hope that the fu
ture may see them prominent, per-
haps brilliantly distinguished men,
bers OF society, yet neither do | think
it at all unlikely that among the IN
distinguished crowd there may lie
the making of some simple soldier
whose practical sense and indomita-
BILE courage may save an army led by
characterless cleverness to the brink
of destruction, or some plain man of
business who by dint OF sheer hon.
esty and firmness may slowly and
surely rise TO prosperity and honor,
when his more brilliant compPers, for
lack of character, have gone down,
with all VINO trusted item, to hope
less ruin. Such things DO happen.
Hence let none of you be discour.
aged. Those who have won prizes
have made good beginning those
who hcve not may yet make
that good ending which is

A Relic of Columbus.

The Moniteur of Martinique prints
an interesting story about the find
ing Ct an anchor belonging 10 the
ship upon which Christopher Co
lumbus sailed on his third voyage OF
discovery to the New World. On
the night of August l Essays the
4Honiteur, the email fleet had come
10 an anchor at the southwestern
extremity of the Island of Trinidad,
TO which the navigator had given
lhe name of Arenas Point. Wash.
ington Irving relates that Columbus
who was very poor sleeper, sud.
defly heard frightful Doise, appar-
emily coming from the south. R1sh
ing on deck, he saw rolling toward
him q wave as huge as mountain,
which threatened to submerge the
fleet. All hands thought their last
hour bad come, but the only damage
sustained was the loss of one of the
anchors Of the AdmiraI's ship. The
big wave was caused oy the sudden
swelling Of one of the rivers that
empty their waters into the Calf of
Paria, the existence Of which was
unknown To the discoverer. The
incident is mentioned 10 the narrs-
tive of the voyage Dequeathed 10 US
By Ferdiuando, Colnm bus SOD. This
historical anchor has been found af-
ter all these centuries, by Senior Ag
ostiuo, the owner of Arenas Point.
Il weighs l,100 pounds and is of de-
cidedly primitive form. Senior Az.
ostino found il while making some
excavations 10 his garden. This
garden, upon careful examination,
appears to occupy the precise spot
where rode the ships of the great
mariner in 1893. The finder at first

CHILDREN POISONED BY To-
GUST BARK,

A correspondent of the Inyo hide
pendent says: On Satur5 ay, February
28th, my four girls, aged respectively
s, 6, 5 and 3 years, together with
three other children of the neighbor-
hood, were playing in my yard. One
of them proposed to cut slice of the
locust bark RobiniG pusedo GcGcta)
and divide its pieces among each to
be chewed instead of candy, which
they did at IL am. at noon they
took hearty dinner with me, and l
remarked that the two youngest girls
asked very frequently for water.
Fifteen minutes after dinner they
commenced vomiting profusely and
it was then that l could ascertain
from the Oldest girl the true
cause of the mischief. The vomiting
continued undated with come. and

The Sandy Rira

Oar morning contemporary, in
connection with the Sandy fire, has
assumed to speak for Mr.. Decker in
the premises, and in doing so puts
tbat gentleman in the position OF 3
plaintiff in suit for damages against
the railroad company. We are
authorized by Mr.. Decker to say that
whether the fire caught from a spark
from the locomotive, or in any other
manner, ne never contemplated even
asking the railroad company to make
good his loss; and further, be does
not consider that he has any right to
do so. His hotel was on railroad
land, and being so close to the track
the company, few years ago, wanted
him 10 move it, because of the danger
of it taking fire. He finally obtained
permission to let his house remain,
but with the express understanding
that il it burned the loss was
to be his. and not the COM
pany's. Mr.. Decker is not the
man to Ego back" on even a tacit
agreement of this kind, and psrticu-
larly go in this instance. the railroad
and he being on the most harmonious
terms. He regrets his loss. and also
that of the company, but considers
that nobody can be censured on &C
count OF the fire.

cannot get up q quarrel over this
