The Benefit ofa Literary Society.

When we speak of a literary society, we do not wish 10 be understood 10 mean 1. A debating society;
 For a debating exercise forms only part of the exercises of literary society. It is only one among the many beneficial literary procedures that elevate the gifts of man kind in the line of education.
 2. Nor frolicking society.
 Because we are simply mindful of the fact that the humorous feature should be sprinkled through the exercises of Liter ary Society, and act accordingly no one must at any time think that such society has frolicking as any object whatever. When members of Literary Society forget the exalted object Of their body and spend too much of their effort on the satisfaction of their ightminded desires they are guilty of a very condemnable error.
 3. Nor any kind of a society',hat bears the name of a Literary Society. We to not deal in pretenses IT VIC give our support to an enterprise VIC do not consider half way enterprise worthy of time and atten- tion. If we belong to, support, and rec ommend Literary Society We simply wish to be understood that our conviction js that 1t fills the bill; or expects to do so.
 Positively, We wish 10 be understood to mean that Literary Society is one, the ob- feet of which is for any kind of educational elevation it may find possible.
 It not only cultiystes and eulsrges per sons polemic ability, but it also cu,ivates and enlarges his drGmaiic ability, without which man suffers In his efforts to enforce any kind of principles. A mans polemic ability is of very little value unless he has dramatic ability, by means of which Inc makes his polemic ability eflectual. This is the reason that every Literary Society has declamatory recitauons and dialogues, in which gestIculatiOn is taught. Further, in s Literary Society, ones ability to compose i, cultivated. That is the reason why written compositions are another exercise. Again, ones orat0Yicai ability is cultivated. That is the reason why urations, written and de livered, IS another exercise. Still agair ones reGdiHg ability is cultivated. That il why the reading of selected pieces is another exercise. Further yet, one's Journalistic abil ity is cultivated. That is why editing ana reading paper is another exercise.
 Once more, ones peam1Hship is improved and, that is why the West Prescott Literary Society has fathered writing school to b' conducted under is auspices, at the Wes Prescott School House. We meet to organ ize next Tuesday night at the above-named school house and we propose to arrange il so that no one will be deprived of its bene | fits if he or she wishes 1t.

Unassessable Mining Steck.

Relative to the so-called inaccessible stock of the mining companies organized under the laws of the State of New York, the Sun says:
 X mining company organized under the laws of the State of New York, with cap tal of ten millions of dollars, in two hun dred thousand shares of ti,ty dollars each, offers to issue them to subscribers, full paid and inaccessible, at five dollars share. This offer conveys the idea that those who become stockholders on these terms will in- cur no further liability by reason of their subscription. Such, however, is not the law. In the event of corporate insolvency, a receiver of the company would have the right, and at would be his duty, 10 sue for the unpaid balance Of forty five dollars on each and every share issued by the cOrpo- ration under the proposed arrangement. It Is well to understand that you canno, make stock full paid and unassessvble simply by calling it so.
 The capital of New York corporation must be fully paid in, either in money or property; and if not so paid in at first, tn, subscribers to its stock remain liable for the unpaId balance of their subscriptions. \ good many regrets and no little iitiga- ton may be saved by remembering jnst what the law is on this subject, and acting accordingly.

A Prospective Foreign War.

The vast increment of war material and combatants in the military establishments of continental powers, notice of which appears in all the foreign papers, points to the fact that the peace of Europe will soon be broken. IL IS immsterial that just cause of war should De found. Enough of the embers of inc old quarrel live in its ashes ts warm into action the mortal enmity Of Germany and France and pretexts will not be wanting. on the part of other powers, to join the general conflict. War, beyond the Atlantic, has long been a popular diversion s grand spectacular show which the diplo- maiists make for the people when they desire to change the channels of public thought from close criticism of govern mental affairs. It efectually extinguishes popular discomfort and the discussion of dangerous topics and is the remedy which is always applied at a critical period. So- cialism, NihIlism and Communism will for a while perish in the greater passions evoked by the appeal 10 false love of country and an invitation to the orgie cf blood. An eminent Preach academician has pointed to the fact that the people of our race are by nature and instinct soldiers and that the avocations of peace are pursued under a system of restraint ana with continual pro- test against their meniAl character. It re- quires but step further in the pursuit of nf fn at n- clusion that the effusion of blood is neces- sary to satisfy this instinct and the remedy for civil war IS in the prosecution Of for eign one. This conclusion has probably | passed into an axiom abroad and the disaf- 1 lection of the people recently almost uni versal on the continent is the invariable prelude to the bloody drama which is to follow. We are won't as people to super
 fcially regarl European wars with easy in difference or as inuring to our benefit, IT
 the increased demand which is temporarily
 made for our products of both the field and | the workshop.
 The fact however seems Co be established
 sn better grounds, that, in the intimate re Iations which all countries now stand | through the bonds of commerce, all war IS
 bad. It destroys the labor and capitalo ot th'
 world. It takes from productive industry the labsrer, transforms him into charge
 upon his fellow man and either kills him ol
 remiis him to his home a cripple and pau per. It turns back the tide of progress anc its effects arc constantly visible Tn the de pressed financial conditions which follow it. This depression may for a time limit itself to the geographical areas occupied by contesding armies, but ultimately undel
 we'll known laws extends to every centre O
 civilization and commerce, and makes O
 all people alike unwilling participants 1T the general woe wrought by unhol!
 ambition.

Copious extracts will be given from the tes- timony referred to in regard to the alleged demoralizing character of the Chinese popu. lation and the the detrimental effect of Chi nese labor upon the industrial interests of the white workingmen On the Pacific coast and the community in general.

Sectarian vs. Secular Schools in France,

The Jesuits of France, like those Of the United States, are making war on the free public school system of that Republic. Jules Ferry, Minister of Public Instruction. made powerful speech on the 9th inst, in the Senate, i, which he showed that the method of teaching in the convent schools D uaHgefUus TU hepuUIrCdn uOVeruIneHt, and that the books used in their schools show that their system is dangerous and hostile to liberty. He warned the country to beware of public teachers who owe great CT allegiance to Rome than they do to France, and exhorted them to rescue tbe youths of the country from the influence of those who are seeking to contaminatc the ideas of modern society. Jules simon fol- lowed in the same strain; be said that it now becomes a question of defending the very fir-t principles of liberty; the country must know, he said, whether freedom shall continue to prevail in France or not.
