A First Class Premium for Lying.

Ia m"si Of the primary schools III
this State y first class premium is of
rvred Ior lying, At the clos' 1t each
day "mcril ~ other reward ~ given
TO those pupil, who have "n"t whiS-
perga,' johnny aud Jimmy attend such
u school the first term Johnny did
no, take any merits because he had
whispered. jimmy had done the same
thing, bn, carried home his merits
with great pride. His kind teacher
smiled on him swce,ly, but scowled
like thunder cloud at Johnny. Dear
mama pal,ed him on the head, and
finished OF with loving k's', but
sighed mou'n'ully oven Johnny. Papa
c,ipd "sh James my little mani" hut
shook his head nj johnny. The con.
scicnlious teacher made up her returns
u, ,hr en-, Of the ,rrm, using the
number OF merits given Ia each
scholar as the basis of "depoltment."
She printed her account OF dpport'
men, in the newspapers AZ well as to
enter il on her register. There il was
before the world, one great abominable
lie The superintendent and com
mite, nodded and smiled approval.
while society applaudcd The outrage.
Even the minister took extra pains TO
talk TO Jimmy, but scarcely noticed
johnny. "Ah" thought johnny, $50
it is the name and not the fact that
tells, wen see about that" Next
term he took AL The merits he could
get, even stealing them from the desks
of other scholars. Ile was exalted in
the next newspaper report, as much as
he had previously been abused.
Johnny is smart, he will most likely
grow up u tricky knave. There is 40
Involvement held on! for him To be
anything else. "Dnt,' says II teacher
81 know when my pupils whisper,
and punish them for tasehood.'
Pardon me you do not. There IL not
man or woman living who can tell
whether even a dozen pupils whisper,
much less thirty or forty: and you
may not be the keencst person ever
created either. You punish your
pupils when they are caught? Is it
strange that they learn low cunning I
In a view of these facts is it strange
that the Johnnies after a few terms at
school follow the examples of the jim
mics, and honesty dies out of their
young lives =? While such first class
premiums are offered for lying, the
crop Ot scOundrels will never grow
less. The child that is bred in rot
tenness will never be sound. "When
the fountain is corrupt the stream will
not be pure" Just so long as these
things continue in our public schools
so long will men rob their employers.
Will young men forge signatures !
will girls deceive their parents and 60
down to destruction Il? The teacher
who abuses the trust rcposed in him or
her, commits great and grevious
wrong and sometime must receive
corresponding reward. X. L.

Beauty Before Age.

An amusing incident occurred on Cleve- land street car the other day. A woman of fifty, made up to look about twenty five years old, got aboard at a crossing to find every seat occupied. She stood for mo- ment, and then selecting poorly dressed man about forty-fiye years of age, she ob- served:
 ''Are there any gentlemen on the carr"
 'Indeed, I dunno,' he replied as he looked up and down. Eff there hain't and you are going clear through, I'll hunt up one for you at the end of the line.''
 There was an embarrassing silence for a moment and then light broke in on him all of sudden, and he rose and said:
 ssYou can have this seat. madam I am allus perfectly willing 10 stand up and give my seat to anybody older than myself y
 That decided her. She gave him a look which he will not forget to his dying day, ,and grabbing the strap she refused to sit down, even when five seats had become vacant.

 Talking of changes, the island of Tahiti, now French settlement in the South seas,

 that purpose.
 It was thought that this would be an ex- ceptionally prosperous season for the theatri-
 cal business, and that people would be will ing to pay their money to see anything at all but, contrary to all expectation, it has to great extent proved otherwise as can be imagined from the fact that since the open ing of the season no fewer than eighty con-
 binations have been compelled to disband for
 lack of support. Some of these combina- tions have appeared in New Haven, and there is feeling of regret among those who saw and heard them that they did not disband
 before reaching this city.
 Governor Long of Massachusetts touched
 upon great many subjects in his recent mes-
 sage, and among them that of capital pun
 ishment. The Governor calls the death pen alty an outrage on human sensibilities and
 out of accord with the spirit of the age. He suggests that some of the arguments for and
 against it might be met by providing that
 whenever person is found guilty of murder in the first degree, and the jury, in rendering the verdict, recommend him to mercy, the penalty shall be imprisonment for life, and
 without hope of pardon except as the court | might find ground to grant new trial Un- der such law, he thinks, the fear of capital punishment would still stare the murderer in
 the face juries would not be deterred from finding guilt in cases in which they would
 hesitate to find it if it's punishment were sure to be death; the one tribunal which, above all others, reflects the sentiment of the com | munity, would have the determination of the matter in it's hands; and finally he thinks it | would tend to put hanging out of fashion,
 even while it preserved the terror of the
 death penalty.

 Very little is generally known about Wash ington Territory, and the new governor thereof, Mr. Newell, does good service by printing some new and interesting facts con- corning his domain. Among other things, he draws attention to the fact that the indus try of planting and cultivat1ng eastern oys- ters in Puget Sound is steadily progressing, and he predicts that at no distant day the Territory will become the great oyster produ- cing section of the Pacific coast. The traffic in clans, too, promises to be very large. This
 variety of shell-fish is found in the greatest abundance in the Sound, many of them growing to the extraordinary weight of ten pounds. As to the salmon fisheries, the Governor states that the catch for the last year amounted to 40, 1000, ,0O0 pounds. Fish caught in Puget Sound were forwarded to every market in the civilized world, and the returns to those engaged in the trade amounted during the year to more than $3,- ,0OO. In this connection the Governor suggests that the gadus, species of codfsh, though larger and of finer flavor, which is found in extraordinary abundance in the waters of the Territory, could be most ad
 vantageously dried, and with much profit sent to the great centres of population in this and other countries In addition to these natural sources of wealth, Mir. Newell men- tions the fact that there lies on Puget Sound 15, COG, ,OOO acres of the finest timber land in the world. Thousands of the trees are up- wards of 300 feet in height and 10 feet in diameter at the base. One stick of timber recently cut measured 124 feet in length and squared 24 inches at the smaller end. The resources of the Territory for cattle and sheep raising are represented as being on the same wonderful scale, and, altogether, Gov. l Newell seems to be fully justified in believing that Washington is destined. in the near fu- l ture, to become one of the great States of the | Union. l
