RUGBY IN AMERICA seems expressly in
tended and devised to supply the defect of
Rugby in England. That is, to put it in
very plain English the Rugby of England
is the absolute perfection of the British
morals and religion are there inculcatcd
by the very best methods to the model Tom
Browns. This admirable training, both ex
perimental and practical renders the young
men "hardy, reticcnt and honest as the
highest desirable result, and when this
noble work Is accomplished there is moth
ing for them to do except migrate. This is
not exactly the manner in which the mat
ter is stated, but it is certainly what it
comes to. There is no land to cultivate, the
professions are full, model school boys are
not the stuff for artists, and last, but cer-
tainly not of least Importance, comes the
statement that the lads are too honest for
trade. Trade must assurcdly be very tricky
in England if the educated youth neccs-
sarily "rcvolts" against it under the ap-
proval of his schoolmaster. As the final
climax that tip-tops the matter entirely,
the handicrafts, by which is meant the
higher form of mechanical industries, rang
ployments, are, of course, inevitably and
hopelcssly closed against him, poor fellow,
because neither his mother, nor his sister,
nor his cousin, nor his sweetheart can bear
to see him work with his hands. Well
well If this is all "jes So in Merrie Eng
land, in this enlightened year of the world,
there does not seem much else left for that
good young man to do except to go West.

AMERICAN WOMEN have been almost
ready to emigrate to Russia for the extraor-
dinary facilities offered in that country for
female education. According to journal
istic accounts, the privileges of the colleges,
in the way of advanced education, are very
remarkable; but that temptation is re-
moved entirely by the latest news. One
word Is suiiichnt-all letters are opened by
the professors, and only given to the stu
dents when they have been carefully
studied. Love-letters are particularly eX-
amined and viewed with special distrust,
for il is believed that the festive young
Nihilists convey their secret and bloody
messages in apparently loye-sick terms, and
that hearts devotion is to be read nitro
glycerine, and profound affection means
assassination. Against such preconceiyed
theory there is, of course, no defense, and
the less said about the flames of love tho
better and even the remotest hint at spark
ing may be assumed as conveying som'
meaning Of sulphurous significance an'
combustion dire.

THE Cleveland Herald has gone off into
II spasm of joy because Mr.. Bentley is out
and Mr. Dudley is in. 1t volunteers the
statement that pension claimants may be
sure of one thing-that their claims will
now be adudicated under the management
of man who has suffered with them the
exposures of the camp and the field, and
who can and will sympathizc with them;
who will not wonder that so many became
disabled, but rather that so many are living
free from the diseases so prevalent in the
service. Having seen and known the
extraordinary exposure to which men
wcro frequently and unavoidably subjected,
he will not be surprised that so many are
now suffering from diseases thus incurred.
This is cheering intelligence. At the
