In recent public address the Rev. DIR.
Howard Crosby said that young men should
In time of relaxation go out on the green
and have a good game of ball, or should go
down to the river and have row, is most
natural and conmendable, but, he contin-
ued, THAT they should form clubs for train
ing, aud spend months in the process, and
have great public contests before thousands
all over the country, and attract the profess
sional roughs with their betting and drink
ing to the grand show, in all of which study
is neglected, is an abomination of the first
order. It's shame that college presidents
are actually promoting this demoralizing
system. No wonder SO many young men
cannot go to college because all this high
living is SO costly. If they refuse to pay the
taxes for all sorts of fooling they are showed
aside as mean fellows, and this ostracism
very few can bear. 1t costs student at
Yale or Harvard from 81 200 to 50, 900 year
II ne is going to be in full rapport with his
class. 1t becomes college trustees to see
that these expensive habits, so inimical to
ell true study, are prohibited, and that pro-
lessons and students give heed to the impor-
tant work for which the college was crea-
ted" The Elk Chancellor seems to forget

ONE of the Partisan papers has been SO
impolite as to insinuate that the American
navy is so far from being formidable that the
French iron clads would be able to sail right
in and land an invading army upon our
shores. That would certainly be very disa-
greeable, and not lea st SO to any amy that
might be landed. 1t might land with ease,
but it would get away with difficulty.

The Origin of the Campaign Roos-
IPittsburg Post.l


Away back in the Forties, we believe about
1874, SO runs the story, the Democratic organ
in Indiana was conducted by Bird B. Chap
man, politician of some repute. 1t was
season of political activity, and the Democrats
were rather respondent, as the tide seemed
against them. At some local election prelim-
mary to the general election in the State,
the Democrats Unexpectedly scooped the
Wings, and a letter from an active
Democrat communi eating the news to
the editor began with the injunction:
"Crow, Chapman, Crow Sure enough,
Chapman did crow, and nsing these
words as head line in his next days edition
first introduced the Democratic rooster as
the harbinger of victory. The idea was TAX
ing one, and the symbol was quickly accepted
and came into general use, at least when the
Democrats gained something to crow over.

THE death of Louis Blanc does not leave
SO large gap in French politics as 1t.
would have done decade ago. Somehow
or ether he had of late years fallen into the
background. His Radical friends had left
him behind, and his Conservative opponents
had not yet caught up with him, SO that he
welded comparatively little influence, and
will not be much missed.

THOUGH in many places the sky was so
far obscured By clouds as to prelude success
full observation, there are good grounds for
believing that the astronomers saw enough
of the transit of Venus to answer their pur-
pose, and that such observations have been
taken as will result in important additions
being made to our stock of astronomical
knowledge. 1t is possible that there are
some people who will argue that whether
the sun is ninety-two or ninety-five millions
of miles from the earth is not of much conse-
quence after all, but the scientists had set
their hearts upon seeing the transit, and they
are as deserving set of people, every one
will be glad that they have not been wholly
disappointed.

YOUNG men who are likely to be smitten
by actresses will do.well to remember the
following story;
A San Francisco lawyer fell in love with
scenes on an intr reduction, after Miss Nelson
as Juliet, should come down from the balcony
scene With her eyes moist with affections
tears, her voice trembling, and her bosom
heaving with young loves emotion, she was
bidding farewell to Romeo. The lawyer loved
her madly as she rose from her kneeling posi-
ton; was more than ever enamored as she
leaned against the window casing; and glared
at her until she stepped inside, grabbed her
train in one hand, and her handkerchief in
the other, and blew her nose with great vio-
lence. When the snorts had subsidized she
opened her beautiful lips to remark: "Oh,
blast this beastly climate. I wish my nose was
tin-lined." Thia was too great a shock to his
feelings. He stepped back and out.

An Exciting Race.

The other day there was a grand
time at Dodgeville. They had donkey
race-a regular old country layout;
and the boys. to make the affair in
teresting named the four animals
entered in the race. "Hazelton,'
keyes," Jones'" and Hastings"
These quadrupeds in the hands of
professional jockles, were trotted up
and down the track for time, to be
shown off. Each had his name set
forth in unmistakable letters on his
side. BY and by they came down in
good style and passed under the wire
at the word "gol' Away they went.
Hazelton" first, followed by "Keyes:-
then came Jones'" and then "Hast-
ings." 1t was an interesting race for
a moment. But alas, Before the first
quarter had been made keyes broke
badly and jumped the track, and even
cleared the fence of the grounds:
and now you cannot tell where he
is. "Hazelton tore along, but ever
and anon vicious parties attempted
to drive him from the track. Jones"
and Hastings came up, and with
8 Hazeltol they ran three abreast
for some time. By and by Jones"
shot out. "Hazelton" following closely.
But finally the latter Jagged aud was
passed by a Hastings" The track was
now left to Jones and :. Hastings"
The former was long way ahead,
and every leap was opening the dis
lance In short, he distanced his
competitor.-Madison Democrat.

Is it not a little strange that
republican politicians who by their
actions in caucus and convention
show that they are afraid to trust
each other, should unite in asking
the people to place implicit faith in
their honesty and integrity? Hazel
ton men make all manner of charges
of political dishonesty and trickery
against the keyes men, and vice
versa and no Democrat or Pro-
hibitionist stands prepared to dis
pute their allegations. If a third
man can be agreed upon and Ha-
zelton and Reyes withdrawn the
friends of both candidates will I'M
doubtedly retract their former harsh
utterances against each other and
unite in trying to prove that it
would be dangerous to place con-
gress in control of the democrats.

On Tuesday evening at about six
o'clock willie Charles Neal was enter

horses the hay touched the animal on
the side when it kicked him just above
the stomach. DR.. Vivian who was
called to attend him is unable to de-
termine the extent Il the injuries, but
expresses strong hopes of his recovery
although he is still suffering great
pain.
The Mineral Point and Dodgeyille

If the company does not intend to
run it any longer would it not be a
good plan for the stockholders to dis

some price instead of letting it be
DESTROYED, as it certainly will be ere
long. We think it should be kept
up if for nothing but for instruction
for those that are inclined to learn.
Good health is maintained and nour-
