HOW THE PLOT DEVELOPED.

They selected their candidates
for President, in the persons of
James G. Blaine, Republican, and
Samuel J. Tilden, Democrat. At
the Republican National Conven-
ton held at Chicago, Mr.. Blaine was
supported by the entire railroad ele-
meat; the committee on platform
and resolutions was packed in their
interest, Appointment corporation at
tOruey being its Chairman, and with
the aid of leading Republican jour
nalist, who is identified with COR
porate interest, all illusions to the
most important question Of the day
was carefully suppressed. The mill
tary and stalwart element was, how
ever, solid for General Grant. and as
neither side was strong enough to
win, compromise was made upon
General Garfield.
The Democratic National COnven-
ton, held at Cincinnati, we will dis
miss with the brief statement that
the plans of Ithe monopolists to
nominate Mr.. Tilden were spoiled
by the refusal of an influential por-
ton of the New York Democracy to
support him, resulting in the nOmi-
nation of General Hancock. Here,
too, the platform was manipulated
in the interest of the monopolists by
a prominent Democratic journalist,
assisted by delegates representing
interests, and notwith-
the earnest efforts of a
few leading Democrats, the greatest
and IiU6St question of the day was
dismissed with a single halting sen
tence which might mean anything
OR nothing -.

THE SEQUEL.

Corporation sympathy seemed to
lean more to the Republican than
to the Democratic candidates at all
events money flowed more freely in
Republican than in Democratic
channels, and General Garfield was
elected. Then came the interesting
task of making a Cabinet to suit all
factions and interests. Corporate
interests were reconized by giving
Mr.. Blaine the first place, but Messrs.
Window, McVeagh, Kirkwood and
others who are believed to be indie
pendent of monopoly influence were
also selected and it is beloved that
as a whole the Cabinet was fairly
representative of the different sec
tiOns and interests.

sion, the venerable prelate inviting the
leading men in the Conference TO dine with
him at the episcopal mansion. Such thing
as thisnever occurred before. It is an event,
too, which is worthy of note, not only on
account Of its novelty, bnt because. taken
in connection with the fact that many o.
the Wesleyan churches in this country use
the prayers CT the Church of England in
their public services, it ssems to indicate a
determination on both sides to shake hands
across the ecclesiastical ehasm that so long
divided them, and to be brethren, with all
that the name implies. If this act Of
Bishop Ryle should be supplemented by a
similar course on the part Of the Bishop Of
Loudon toward the great Ecumenical Coun
Gil. it viii be safe TO conclude that the era
of general good feeling has indeed arrived,
and that Christianity in the near future
will make rapid advances in these isles

APgER MANY DAYS.

a remarkable romance is related by a
Morehead City On. C.) correspondent.
About fifty years prepossessing young
woman appeared suddenly In a small
mountain village near Asheville, and
obtained work in farmers family.
She called herself Mary Burt, but gave
no further clue to her origin. Her tasks
were SO skillfully performed, and she
could sing song, dance reel, tell a
story SO well that she became village
favorite. Fifteen years later the mystery
surrounding her was forgotten. Having
declined more than one good offer of mar
rage. she settled down as q good-natured
old maid, became the benefcent " aunt"
of the neighborhood, and finally was per-
shaded to take charge of a country school
near by.
After several years of teaching her whole
character seemed to change. She became
moody, melancholy, and fond of solitude.
Purchasing lovely and lonely spot among
the mountains she had rude hut built,
and there she lived without any companion
ship but that of her dog, cat, COW and
chickens Her only book was the Bible,
and this she nearly learned by heart The
publication of this woman hermit's story in
the Asheville Citizen not long ago brought
solution of the mystery. The article was
copied into a Vermont paper, and at
tracted the attention of Robert Fletcher,
prominent citizen of that State, and
Fletcher soon after visited Asheville,
sought the editor of the Citizen, and to.
gether they went to Miss Burt's house.
The hermit did not recognize the Yer.
monter, but she soon learned that he was
her old lover.
A mistake had kept them apart for half a
century, but when Fletcher left Asheville
few days later, Mary Burt Howe, for that
was the hermit's full name, accompanied
him as his wife. When Miss Howe and
Fletcher were young they were engaged to
be married The young woman fancied
her lover was attached to another
girl, and suddenly left her home in
Name. Going to Boston, she there
shipped as stewardess on ship bound
for Liverpool. The vessel was wrecked
on the North Carolina coast, and after
many adventures at sea in an open
boat and among friendly Indians on
land, Miss Howe found her way to
civilization. Robert Fletcher traced his
runaway sweetheart to the ship on which
she sailed, and, hearing of the loss of the
vessel, always monrned her as dead till
the North Carolina paper gave him hap
Ply surprise.

EDUCATIONAL.

There are now in this country 27l, IA
teachers, or ons teacher to every lS4 OF
population.
OF all the New England colleges Har-
ward has had the largest addition to her
endowment fund during the past year.
She has received 1000 coo, Yale has had
$3.50 600, and Dartmouth $4,000.
The authorities Of Victoria University
at Manchester, England, Lave decided not
to insist upon classical knowledge, except
for the ordinary degrees in arts, and have
made divers new regulations for degrees in
science and law.
Professor Monier Williams proposed In
dian Institute at Oxford is now assuming
taken to make annual grant toward the ex-
penses of its maintenance, and site Tor a
building has been fixed upon.
West Virgins, which in 1865 had only
!, S65 school districts, 1873 school houses,
3S7 teachers, and an attendance Of Is 975
pupils, has now 1929 districts 3,557
school-houses, 4, 224 teachers, and an at.
tendance of l42, $50 pupils. In 1865 only
twenty counties Of the State had any free
schools.
At the recent meeting Of the Ohio teach
ers one of them said that the system in that
State lacked an independent head: that
the State School Commissioner should have
greater scope of power and should be as.
sisted by board OF twelve. He declared
also that the State needed better facilities
for the education Of teachers.
Dennison University at Granville, o.,
has Just had its endowment fund increased
by 100000. In 1878 the University
passed law abolishing the Greek let
ter societies, under the impression that the
fraternities were immoral in their inhu-
ence. The enforcement of the law not
only created bad feelings, but was practi-
cally eYaded and it has now been re-
pealed.
The public school fund OF Indiana last
year amounted to S9,065, 254 70, and the
average attendance upon the schools was
32l, $50. The State has ninety-two County
School Superinteudepts, nearly all of whom
met in Conventional indianapolis recently.
A plan was submitted for uniting the pub
lie school system of the State with the
University.
A new course of study has been adopted
in the public SCHOOLS of Utica, N. Y,
which reduces the time required from six
teen years to twelve. The primary grade
is to take two years instead Of four
the intermediate grade three years instead
of four; the reduction in the advanced
school course is from four years to three
and the last change is the establishment of
distinct courses in the academy, for two,
three and four years respectively, with cor
responding diplomas.
