Ex-Secretary Sherman says, con-
corning the rcfunding plan, that he sees no
difficulty in fully carrying out Secretary Win
dom's policy SO far us developed. He has
ample means for reducing the interest on the
and 6 per cent. bonds. He thinks it is better
for the country than airy refunding plan that
would be carried out under q new law. The
old securities remain as redeemable bonds,
bearing as low rate of interest as any new
bonds would bear which could now be sold at
par, and they are moro readily PAYABLE with
surplus revenue than any new bonds could be.
If it should appear at the next session that a
8 per cent. bond would sell at par, that can be
authorized. Secretary Window is cautious
and careful, and has done the very best thing
for the public. that is possible. He has no
doubt the public will respond largely to his
efforts, unless an unforeseen or sudden revul-
sion occurs.

Young Man, Don't Be Helped.

DR.. Prime has very little sympathy to
waste upon young men who get their
education by forced loans from relatives.
He says to an earnest young fellow who
wants an education, but cannot afford to
pay for it 4:
''The way Of the world now is for you
to look about and see who will help YOU
to get it. That is not the right way.
Look about and see what you can do to
help yourself. Grind your own ak.
Support yourself by honorable industry
and earn your bread while you improve
the odds and ends Of time in study.
When you get something ahead, use it to
support yourself while you learn. Ten
Thousand men are now serving their
generation with usefulness and honor
who never asked anybody to grind all ak
for them"
This is very sensible advice. The
young men of this country, as rule.
are helped altogether too much. Ifthey
have the right stuff in them they can
get the education they need without
begging or borrowing.

T1s.rific Explosions.

A terrible explosion Of nitro lycer-
me and powder occurred at Binghampton, n
T., few days since. The nitro glycerine ex-
ploded by reason Of improper mixture OF
acids, and in a few minutes after, 900
pounds of powder stored about one hundred
feet away, exploded. Buildings were demol.
ished ard scattered in every direction, and
property destroyed; fences blown to splinters,
trees uprootcd, many buildings in the neigh
borhood badly shattered, and windows two
and three miles away blown out by The con-
cussion. The shock was distinctly felt forty
miles away. No one was seriously hurt.
Another powder explosion occurred near
Bridgeport, Conn.,, at which place magazine,
containing 1000 kegs of powder, was blown
up. A large number of windows in Bridge
port were broken, and in some instances walls
were cracked by the force of the explosion.

Col. Forney, of Philadelphia, has
received two letters from England in which
the writer states that previous to February Is,
atLaughton, Essex, twelve miles from London,
there was pretty boy of nine years attending
private school who was called George" by
the women with whom he lived, but who
frequently said that his name was Charlie Ross :;
that the woman was not his mother and that
he was brought over from America in big
ship. The boy claimed that his mother was
lady. He answers to the description of the
lost Charlie, and left the village some time ago,
it was understood, with the intention of being
sent home. The woman who had the boy in
charge always wore a veil, her excuse being
that her hus band was abroad, and that she
had taken vow not to show her face in pub
lie until he returned.

A Reason for PITY.

OF stories about beachcombers EN-
glish settlers in Polynesia) there is no
end. Perhaps one of the best is that of
Paunchy Billy, of Samoa, who was born
in the same village as John Paul Jones,
and who was in the habit of declaring,
"Sir, I wouldn't go back to Britain now
if you were to give me thousand
year; and yet I will say that when I
came here first, more than thirty years
ago, I had fashion of sitting on the
stones by the seaside of night and cry
ing to myself for the home and friends I
should never see again. But I know
better now, and I have done with this
many a year" "
Billy used to relate how, when Com
modore Wilkes expedition visited Sa-
moa, he went on board the United
States ship Porpoise, dressed in savage
mats, and begged the Captain to take
him away. s-ts

Billy asked the Captain to explain.

States should have counted you dis

But, seeing you are Britisher, and there
is not room enough for you all in your

The Language of Sweet Sixteen.

some staid pater familias, who is denounc-
ing the idea that the American Young
lady speaks any other than the purest
college-taught English, and he is sincere

senior, with an eye to the truth, linger
near this young lady and her school
friends, ten to one this is an exact and
not overdrawn description of what he

who turn from admiring teachers to

who christen everything that does not

F,.Ne,s Debnr.

VIM. P. Frye, OF Maine, elected to
the United States Senate, as the successor of
Senator Blaine, made his first speech in the
Senate on April 10, and is pronounced the
most eloquent and searching that has been
delivered in the chamber for many years. He
commanded the closest attention throughout,
and at one bound has reached a place as a
debater far in advance Of any man on either
side thus far in the long debate now going on
in the Senate. He delivered a terrible philippe
against the Democratic party, which, as it
must be replied to by members of that party
from nearly every state, will lengthen the
session to an indefinite period The speech is
regarded by all as having done more to widen
the breach than anything heretofore said.

A dispatch from Cheyenne to the

attempt is made to move them from their

they have not signed away any of their rights.
They are all well armed and have plenty of
ammunition, as they have been buying and
storing it away ever since the government
gave them their treaty money. They have

n Precious C0durer.

The recovered remains of the late
A. T. Stewart, were recently deposited in the
crypt of the Cathedral at Hampstead, L. I.
Stone masons were employed to lay the stones,
bolted them, poured lead around the bolts in
the eyeholcs, and sealed the masonry with
cement. Electricians skillfully laid wires
from various parts of the masonry and of the
crypt upward to the chime of the bells in the
steeple in such manner that if any person
should attempt an cntrane every bell in the
steeple would ring 49,,
