Magazine Notices.

The Popular Science Monthly for June
abounds in instructive articles. Paul r. Ship
man opens the ball with a trenchant discus
sion of the old question of the classics, which
he insists, must be kept hot until they
are got out of the way sufficiently to
make more room for scientific studies. Mr..
Shipman. under the title of The Classics that
Educate Us, attempts to show up the futility
of the latest pretext for holding on to Latin
and Greek. The series of papers by Dr.
Charl; S Richet on Hysteria and Demonism is
continued, and the present one is full of the
most important information given in vivid
and graphic terms. Prof. de Quartefages has
an able paper on The Crossing of the Human
Races, throwing important light upon ques-
tions of profound American interest. The
progress of geographical science for the last
two years is compactly and attractively pre-
sented by Chief Justice Daily, and his paper is
followed by an elaborate and invaluable arti-
Gle on Dress in Relation to Health by that
eminent hygienic authority, DR.. DIR. B. w.
Richardson. Studies in Experimental Geole-
gy, by Stanilas Meunier, is an interesting
illustrated article, showing by experiment how
the changes of physical geology are brought
about. A paper of extreme interest is the
Views of Primitive Marriage by Rev. Lori
mer Fison, a missionary to the Feejee
Islands, who has had an opportunity
of testing the theories of some of our
philosophers by observations and inquiries
regarding the habits of those savages. Pro
fessor Tyndall's remarkable paper on Goethe's
Theory of Colors is given, from which we get
some new light on the intellectual character
of the great German thinker 1t seems that
when he dipped into science all evidences of
his genius and of his greatness curiously dis
appeared. Herman l.. Fairchild has most
curious and attractive article, with many illus.
trations, on How Animals Eat, charming
bit Of natural-history mechanics. Maurice
Mauris contributes a learned paper About Car
penters, which is rich in erudition on the
place and progress of carpentry in the devel-
opment of civilization. Professor w. D. Mil
Ter has a discussion on The Availability of
Energy, which he considers with reference to
the quantities of matter by which it is mani
tested. DR.. Delpech discourses, to much prac-
tical purpose, The Infectious and Conta-
gious Diseases of Children, and gives much in
struction that is sorely needed by the heads of
families "Fhe Rate of Animal Development"
is an interesting biological study by DR.. j. W.
Slater; and there is paper on Artificial Da-
monds, explanatory Of the recent experiments
upon that subject. Professor Newcomb gives
brief sketch of the celebrated astronomer
Professor Otto Wilhelm Strive, of Russia who
lately visited this country. The editor discus
ses Sociology and Theology at Yale College
and the Misuse Of the Science Primers that
have lately come 50 much into vogue. The CO.
pious Literary Notices are followed by an un-
usually full and attractive summary of recent
sicence in the Popular Miscellaney. New

to make the marriage response she added to
the syllable ''yes," the following words in
quiet tone: 81 declare give up nothing that

What Constitutes a Liberal Edu-
cation.

have great respect for the classics and
would do anything within reason to spread the
knowledge of them; but preliminary ques-
tion must first be answered What the clas-
sizes are is not matter of dispute, all agreeing
that they are literary masterpieces the study
of which serves above all other studies to re-
fine and liberalize the mind. But achere are
they? AS to this, opinions differ.
'The Greeks, madam, replied John RAN
doph, when Mrs Jellyby asked him to con-
tribute aid to that suffering people-"the
Greeks are at your door, And some people
think the classics are in the same vicinity;
dwelling, that is to say, in our mother tongue,
in the sense in which the needy are at hand
not exclusively, bnt in such wise as to deserve
our first attention. The President of Harvard
College is one of these people. 81 may avow,''
says President Eliot, 'as the result of my
reading and observation in the matter of edu-
cation, that | recognize but one mental acqu-
sltion as an essential part of the education of a
lady or genteman-namely, an accurate and
renned use OF the mother-tongue. Greek,
Latin, French, German, mathematics, natural
and physical SCIENCE metaphysics, history and
aesthetics are all profitable and delightful, both
as training and as acquisitions to him who
studies them with intelligence and love, but
not one of them has the least claim to be called
an acquisition essential to a liberal education,
or an essential part of a sound training" He
adds: "The fruit of a liberal education is not
learning, but the capacity and desire to learn
not knowledge, but power" This is explicit
enough. For my own part, | agree to it

A Story About Foote.

The despatch announcing the death Of
Henry S. Foote recalls an incident which Gre
ated good deal of amusement in New York
newspaper circles about a year ago. A jour
nalist, with the kindliest intentions toward
Mr.. Foote, made sketch of him for one of
the city dailies, giving his birth and early his
tory, some of the pecullarities of his irritable
disposition, his friendships and enmites, his
celebrated duel with Sargent S. Prentss, and
treating him with so much consideration that
many persons who read it thought it absurdly
overdrawn. To the surprise of the writer and
editor a long communication came, day
or two later, from Mr.. Foote, taking grave ex-
ceptions to the article, and denying point by
point its various statements. The letter was
so funny that it was published as piece of ku-
NOR, although Mr.. Foote, beng like most
Southerners, wholly devoid OF sense of humor,
never suspected it, and was highly gratifed as
usual, at seeing himself in print. He began by
declaring the date of his birth, as given in the
newspaper, as entirely erroneous. This, of
course, was taken from an encyclopedia no.
tice of him furnished either by himself or by
his authority, and, therefore, presumably cor
rect. Then he said, in effect that he was not
an irritable man; that he never lost his tenn
who said so must be a miscreant and villain,
which proved of course that he was not irrita-
BILE. The writer of the article had said that Mr..
Foote and Jefferson Davis had been lifelong
enemies. But this Foote declared stupen-
dous and deliberate and malicious falsehood To
be sure he had never liked Mr.. Davis; thought
him very inferior man, man not at all fitted
for any position he had ever held; they had
never been friends, and he cordially
disapproved of him. but then he was not his
enemy. In speaking of the Prentiss duel, the
writer told "A story about it which runs in this
wise: A number of persons had gone from
Vicksburg to witness the fight, which. from the
position of the parties and the circumstances,
had been limited before it was fought. Among
the crowd was small boy, who, the better to
view the field, climbed into a neighboring tree.
After the first shot, as the tale goes Mr.. Prem
tiss glanced calmly up into the tree and said,
"Look out, my son, you'd better come down.
My friend, Mr.. Foote, is firing little wildly
this morning, and you may get hurt!" The
story was strictly true; but Mr.. Foote declared
it an infamous SANDER; that Mr.. Prentiss was
"too much of a gentleman to be such a black
guard as that" Every point in the original
article, to which he TOOK exception, he proved
either actually or inferentially by his own let
ter, which was as droll as any intentionally
humorous epistle could well have been.

SPRINGFIELD Republican: The Demo-
cratic House must be held in large measure
responsible for the Ute murders in Colorado
and the approaching danger of another In
dian war. The bill providing for the re-
moval of the Utes and the opening to the
public of the Gunnison river country, in
which the recent murders occurred, passed
the Senate April II, after six weeks delay,
scarcely less pardonable than the delay in
the House. Under the rules of the House,
as the bill required an appropriation, its i'm
mediate consideration was impossible; but
by vigorous action it might have been forced
through. Instead it was referre1 to the
committee on Indian affairs, reported back
from that body, and has slumbered ever
since at the foot of general orders, where
there is now no chance of reaching it except
by two-thirds vote, Meanwhile, Secretary
Schurz's communication, transmitting the
Ute treaty to Congress and pointing out that
unless its provisions were promptly fulfilled
an Indian war was probable, has been for
over three months on the files of both cham

How They Do It.

A reporter of the Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin had an interview the other day with
Emerson Bennett, the story writer, and in the
printed conversation occurs the following pas
sage:
"How did you come to write about Indians,
Mr.. Bennett? Had you any experience among
them?"
"None, whatever. I'll tell you how it came
about. The first Indian story / ever wrote was
Ella Barnwell or the Renegade. My publisher
came to me and said Il want you to write an
Indian story told him didn't know any
thing about Indians and it would be impossi-
BILE. L also told him that Cooper had written
Indian stories and that he was unsurpassable,
and didn't wish to go into field that had
been so well covered. Never mind, said the
publisher, Il want an Indian story; go ahead;
| am sure you'll succeed Well, attempted
it; took characters entirely different from
Cooper, and did the best L could. My Indian
stories were success, and so L have devoted
half my life to writing stories that would
rather not have written. But those were
what were wanted, and those L had to write.
Now there is my novel, Prairie Flower. The
publisher of the Great West said to me one
day, want you to write story called Prairie
Flower, and 1 am going to announce it to COM
mence in two weeks. l told him hadn't the
loast idea of what L was to do, but he explained
that he wanted it to be a tale OF the adven-
lures of emigrants on the plains At that
western borders of Missouri. Gold had not vet
been discovered in California. There was only
Oregon City, and that consisted of less than
half dozen log cabins. knew nothing of
the Western plains, and L told the publisher
so. For Heavens sake, said 1, 'let me write
about something 1 understand. But he was
immovabe.
I'll bring you books on the subject he said;
and so he brought the books. Among them
was 'Fremont's Expedition There were ac-
counts of the Indian tribes, and numerous top
ographical works. Well, L studied these
carefully, and then L wrote the story. 1t
was of no use to refuse, much as I dis
liked. it. 1t was bread and meat to me, and
it had to be done. Well, | made everything
so accurate that trappers came to look upon It
as q guide-book. A man wrote to my publish
er once to know if could give him any infor-
nation with regard to half-breed mentioned
in Prairie Flower He said he had brother
who had gone West years before, and had mar
ried a squaw, and he thought it possible this
half-breed was his own nephew. Others
wanted to know if Prairie Flower was still
alive"
"Was that very popular book?"
"The most popular L ever wrote. There
have been over 100000 copies sold of it. and
am now engaged in revising it for another edi-
ton, which is soon to be issued"

They Dind't Wink Any More

Among the passengers who boarded the
east-bound train at Holly the other day were
bride and groom of the regular holly-hock or
der Although the car was full of passengers
the pair began to squeeze hands and hug as
soon as they were seated. This of course at
tracted attention, and pretty soon everybody
was nodding and winking, and several persons
SO far forgot themselves as to laugh outright.
By and by the broad-shouldered and red d-handed
groom became aware of the fact tLat he was
being ridcued, and he unlinked himself to
the height Of six feet, looked up and down the
aisle and said:
''There seems to be considerable nodding
and winking around here because I'm hugging
the girl who was married to me at o'clock
this morning. If the rules of this railroad for
bid a man from hugging his wife after he's
paid full fare then I'm going to quit, but ii the
rules don't and this winking and blinking isn't
bitten short off when we pass the next mile
post, I'm going to begin on the front seats and
create rising market for false teeth and
crutches!"
If there were any more winks and blinks in
that car the groom didn't catch 'em at it.-De-

Blaine in Ohio.

General John Beatty, the soldiers friend
was interviewed in Philadelphia the other day.
Chow will Ohios delegation to the Chicago
Republican convention stand?' queried the
reporter.
'In my opinion Blaine will receive nine
votes on the first ballot, fifteen on the second
and majority on the third" was the response.
81 suppose Secretary Sherman was Ohio's
first choice?"
"He will receive a complimentary voto--a
majority, as matter of course, on the first
race. Indeed, Blaine is the first choice of the
Ohio Republicans. The opposition to third
term has increased wonderfully of late, and in
my opinion the two leading candidates before
the convention will be Blaine and Grant,"
"Can the Republicans carry Ohio this fall?"
''Undoubtedly; and if Blaine is the NOM
inee, by large majority"

SIT looks now." to the New York Herald,

SIT looks now," to the New York Herald,
"as if the main battle in the Chicago con-
vention will be over the unit rule. The bat
tie will begin in the choice of presiding
officer. There will be a strenuous effort to
elect third-term man as president of the
convention, and if the third-termers sue
ceed in that they will think that they have
already carried the day. Such a president
would sustain the unit rule, and the MAORI
ty that elected him would sustain his rul-
ing. On the other hand, if an anti-third-
term presiding officer should be chosen the
unit rule will be declared imperative and
the decision will be upheld by the conven-
ton. The great point will thus be decided
in advance of any ballot for candidates, and
on question which will open an easy way
for masked desertions."
