Measuring by the Eve.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script suggests that children should be
exercised in measuring by the eye. He
says that years ago, when he went to
school in little weather beaten school
house, the scholars had most exciting
contests over the teachers favorite ex-
ercise of having them estimate with the
eye the size and weight of different OBJ
jects in the room.
He would hold up his cane and have
each scholar tell how long he thought it
was, and it was lucky child that could
come within half foot of the right
length.
He would measure an urchin and then
have the scholars try to reproduce the
measure on the wall. He would mark
off an inch, or foot, or yard, in some
conspicuous place, and then see how
near anybody could come to chalking
the same length upon the blackboard.
And it was astonishing how wide
astray one would go. The fact is, our
eyes deceived us ridiculously, even upon
the commonest things.
At first thought which would you say
was the taller, 3-year-old child or a
barrel of -four? And could anything
but actual measurement convince you
that the same child is half as high as a
six-footer?
There is an old saying that child
years old is half as tall as he ever will
be, and after few experiments lin meas
uring one can easily believe it, but not
before.

England and the Yorktown Affair.

Nor did the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown end the war it was the be-
ginning of the end. England was weary
of the struggle, though many, like the
gentle poet Cowper, might have sympa-
thized with the conscientious scruples Of
the King in refusing to cede any of the
dominions he had sworn in his corona
ton oath to preserve intact. Butothers
were of different opinion. Fox rejoiccd
at the news, knowing that it presaged
the close of the unhappy war, and his
opinion was SO far shared by Parliament
that on April 10, 1783-exactly eight
years after it broke Washington
was able TO announce to his army that
all was over. We cannot believe that
any one nowadays holds any other opin
ion than that of Fox. Had CORVALLIS
been able to csrry ont his plans, the
struggle might have been protracted II
little longer. But the colonists could
never have been crushed, and in the
coming Napoleonic wars would undoubt-

Robbery Of a Train Om the Iron
Mountain Road by Three Despera-
docs-More than $4,000 Captured
from the Express Car and Passem-
gers,
NEWPORT, Ark, Sept %.
At IL o'clock last night the train on the Iron
Mountain railroad, while en- route for st. Louis,
was stopped near Hope by five masked men,
one of whom took charge Of the engineer while
the others entered the express car, presenting
revolvers at the head Of the express messenger
and demanding that the safe be instantly
opened. The demand was after brief expostu-
lations complied with, and the robbers
carefully examined the safe, abstracting
the yaluables and tossing them into sack
which one Of them held. 1t was stated that they
secured $4,000. After going through the ex-
press thew entered the passenger cars, calling
out in a threatening tone, Hold up your hands
il YOU value your lives" Many OF the passen-
gers were not aware Of what was going on in
the rear cars, and the appearance OF the
robbers created an almost indescribable
panic. Men attempted to spIing from the
windows of the cars, women screamed and
tried to secrete themselves under the seats.
Everybody was terrified, and nobody offered to
lift finger in resistance. One pas
tanning over 800 in money and two
checks for S400 and 5000 respectively, almost
mechanically The passengers were literally
stripped OF everything in the shape OF valua-
bes. One man slipped package OF $4,000
under the seat and thus saved it, but the bulk
of the travellers had not enough left to pay for
their breakfast. The robbers occupied scarcely
half an hour. They darted OF into the woods
as soon as they had completed their work, and
the engineer at once ran the train into Little
Rock. Intense excitement prevails
Col II. M. Hoxie, General Manager OF The
st. Louis and Iron Mountain road Superin-
tendent Buchanan and the Hon. @. b. Moore
Attorney General of the State, called on Gov.
Churchill this afternoon and held consulta-
ton, and the company offered $4,000 each
anu the State $500 each for the capture OF the
robbers Churchill left on a special Mt O'Clock
this evening tor the scene of the robbery, and
will command a pursuit in person. The pas
