WE UTTERLY FAIL,to see what COD
cern it is to the City Council whetAe.
the Board of Education erects two,
three or four school houses out of the
money that the Board needs and asks
for and which the City Council was au.
thori2ed to raise by the sale of bonds
for the Board. The City Council it
seems has come to the conclusion that
il can only raise money enough to build
two school houses, but it surpasses the
bounds OF its authority when it under
takes TO designate which two ont of the
three proposed shall be built. OF course
AS might be expected they can find no
money with which to build the prOpos-
ed school house over the Third street
bridge for colored children, though that
school house would only be some 5000
additional expense. If the City Coun-
y. = determined TO raise money for the
oul ding Of only two school houses, let
u DO SO, and the Eoard Of Education
al determine as is their right, which
,.o shall be built and we presume it
would be no business of the City Coun.
ell if the Board of Education would
build two, three or four buildings out Of
the money thus appropriated. We pre-
sumo it makes no difference what Coun-
ell may say any how about the number
Of school houses to be built, and which
ones shall be built the Board of Edu-
cation having exclusive control in that
matter will DO as it pleases. The City
Council has enough to do already to
look after its own business without as
suming to dictate to the Board of Edu-
cation.

take a lively interest in political mat

subject of education has recently
begun to be much discussed among
them. Heretofore, when left to their
own resources, they have paid but
small attention to educational matters.
A fund of $40, 900 lies in Washington,

Cards in Russia.

During the bitterly cold evenings of
winter, when out door exercise is out
of the question, the Russians rely
greatly upon cards for amusement.
They play great deal, and play high.
Whist, with some modification in the
counting, baccarat, and game they
call "quinza," something like "Bos-
ton, are their principal games. The
great national game of poker is un-
known among them, but it's attractions
are just beginning to be appreciated.
Cards are monopoly in Russia, and
their importation is strictly prohib-
tied. The profits on their sale go to
the support of the Founding Hospital,
and it is magnificently supported.
Amy infant can be brought there, and
no questions are asked either as
regards the mother or child, and no
payment is necessary. It is said to be
the only place in Russia where no pass
port is required.

How Uncle Sam Guards His Money.

+ Uncle Sam has completed arrange
ments to protect most thoroughly the
millions of money stored in the vaults
of the Sub-Treasury at New York.
The vaults themselves have been con-
siderably enlarged to accommodate
the vast amount of bullion sent there
for storage and the great bags of
coined money, and new doors have
been provided, with a most intricate
network of horizontal and perpendic-
ular bars, operated by time-locks of
the most ingenious construction.
There have been many occasions
when alarm has been felt lest an at
tack might be attempted upon the
building by mob. This apprehen-
sion is now overcome by the practical
conversion of the building into for
midable fortress. The heavy shutters
of the various windows have been
perforated to admit of a pretty ac-
curate sharp-shooting exercise from
within, in case the building should be
surrounded by a strong body of
rioters. Upon the roof, however, is
the chief innovation, consisting of
steel turrets, fitted with loopholes for
rifie-fring, and larger ones for the
destructive work of improved Calling
guns. There are four of these COM
bination guns, so mounted that they
can sweep the neighboring house-tops,
or, by being depressed, scatter their
scores of bullets into the street.
Above the apertures for the Cuttings
are loopholes for rifle men, by which
every angel of approach can be readi-
ly covered. The greatest secrecy is
maintained concerning these means
of defense, and the description is
the first that has been published of
the citadel, and the only one that
will be given to the public, for the
strictest orders have been issued pro-
hibiting the inspection, either of the
fortresss on the roof or the great
vaults, by the public.

Beecher and Catholicism.

Mr.. Beecher created small sensa-
ton in his church last Sunday even
ing. A deep hush fell upon Plymouth
church, and every ear was strained
when he began to relate an incident
which he had never spoken of before.
He remarked playfully that he would
now tell it confidently. "There came
to me-" he said, ga member of my
own church, the mother of young
woman, who said her daughter had
become fascinated with Roman wor-
ship and wanted to unite with that
church 1 said to her: Tell your
child to wait one year. until her own
mind and judgment are settled,
and, if, at the end of that time, she
ahall find that she is drawn nearer to
God and to Heaven through that
church, let her come, and we will take
her by the hand and carry her to the
door, At the end of the year she
was still anxious to enter that church,
and I sat down and wrote letter to
an honorable Catholic pastor of this
city and said This lamb has found
greener pastures in your fields than in
mine. She Joined the Catholic church
and to-day is a happy christian girl
in thatcommunion. Any one. could
have heard a pin drop while Beecher
was telling this, and there is now
what is called quite a sensation. He
added: 81 could do it again if it were
necessary, for when I speak Of unity,
of all that believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ mean it. I don't believe in
external unity, but I believein inter

Then surely I've good company

I've had my youth, l must confess,
And wasted it-then why deplore,
In cross, complaining bitterness.
Because cannot waste it DER
Spring had its pleasures, and they're fed
But summer may new charms unfold
To cheer us on the road we tread
In growing old.
The past is past, and yet it leaves
A memory that still charms the mind,
Where no ikusive hope deceives-
No doubts assail-no passions blind
Where all is ours, despite of fate
A treasure that the heart will hold
Still dearer, as we pass each date
In growing old.
IT'S wrong to grieye-we should reJolcc
To know that we have lived so long
Have listened to the SIRENS voice,
Yet escaped the treach'ry of her song
Have fought life's battle, yet remain,
While friend and foe lie stark and cold,
Their W ices hushed, while we complain

The summer, mans maturity,
The autumn, ages sober truth,
When from our eyes the scales are torn,
And life unmasked we dare behold,
To learn at last that wisdom's born

That mingling of the earth and sky
When guided by some unseen power,
'Tis such an easy change to die

health Of the Indians is in the main

perfect. But occasionally diseases
become epidemic, and in 1855 small

novelty, but it is q novelty that we
are convinced would be productive of
important results. It would form an
important era in the history of agri-
culture if the farmer could have a
reasonable certainty Of the nature of
the seasons before him.
Of course we would not think of at
tempting, from our station at Mon
treal, to predict the weather changes
in England, or China, or Brazil, or
even for British Columbia. Should
we attempt it. the inevitable result
would be failure. Every district is
subject to it's own climatic changes.

THE CROW AS A SIGN OF SPRING.
Every spring we see in our daily
newspapers the usual paragraph re-
speeding the arrival of the crow, and
the promise this event gives of the
speedy approach of more genial
weather. But this is all fancy, and a
mere statement unsupported by facts.
AS body, crows do migrate south
ward every autumn, and spend their
winter in the northern, middle and
southern United States; and in a body
they return northward toward the
middle or latter part of March, or
early portion of April. But while the
majority thus migrate, small parties
of the birds or single individuals re-
main around most of our villages and
cities, feeding upon the refuse matter
which, during such seasons, is col
lecred in heaps in our fields. or on the
ice of our rivers. Consequently the
g first crow seen is no sign of the
approach of spring, but rather per-
haps of existing mild open weather,
when these birds are tempted to roam
more than is their won't during the
severe portions of the season.
On the other hSnd, / would remark
that, while the advent of the first,
