Agricultural Education in An
: Gent Rome.

=
I cannot better close this partial
review of ancient agricultural art
than by giving from one of the writ
esrs, so often quoted in this paper, a
passage OF singular interest even BOW
The mission OF this publication, and
of the Association from which it ema-
mates is, like that of the agricultural
college. the industrial education OF
the masses. The question OF agricul-
turaI instruction is to us one OF para
mount importance. Not only this, il
ia one which. IN these days OF fierce
competition-,for the Dsrwinian
theory OF the struggle for existence
applies as we'll to toe social as to the
physical life-eomnands the atten.
ton of our government and people.
Few deny that it is Que forced upon
Us by the demands of our ciVilization.
And yet this 90 called question OF the
hour has engaged the attention OF
men in time long anterior to our
own, and the latest ADD most authori-
tatiye utterances on the subject are
but the echoes of those OF Columella
delivered nearly eighteen centuries
ago. l8s
81 cannot sufh ciently wonder y
be exclaims, ''how it is that those
who are eager to become speakers
select an orator whose eIo9uence they
can initiate; those devoting them
celves 20 the subjects of mezsuratiou
and mathematics engage master Of
the study of their choice; those desir-
GUS OF becoming skilled in dancing
and music very carefully seek fer one
who can train the voice and instruct
them in singing, az we'll IS for one
who can direct tie motions of the
bedy; even those who wish to bald
call to their aid mechanics and archi-
tects; those committing their vessels
to the deep, skilled pilots; those ell
gaging 10 war, men versed in arms
and acquainted with military sffairs;
and. not to mention each seriatim,
for the calling which any one wishes
to pursue, be employs one qualified
to teach it; in fine, each one sum-
mons to bis aid from the assembly Of
the wise director for his mind, and
an instructor in excellence; while hus-
bandry alone, which beyond all doubt
is nearest to, and, az it we're, the
blood relative OF wisdom stands az
much in need of sholsrs as masters.
For, until now, / have not only heard
that there are, but [ myself have seen,

The Receivership Investigation.
At the investigation to-day of affairs of the
Continental Life Insurance Company, Clerk
Tobias testified that the total expense OF the
receivership was $109,S74.
The investigation has developed the fact
that the assets of the seven companies under
investigation in December preceding their
failure aggregated $1901S, 163. From this sum
certain legitimate reductions should be made
amounting to 49, 1888, 593, leaving $40, 234 $40 to
be accounted for by the receive. Out of this
sum receivers have paid dividends amounting
to 81 1926 900 and further dividends aggregating
81, 600 are yet expected. This total of So
100000 dividend, and to be divided among
creditors, taken from the total assets originally
in the hands OF receivers, leaves deficit of
1924, $40 to be accounted for.

The Relations of Germany, Austri and
Russia.
LONDON. March ia dispatch from Ber-
lin to the Times says: There seems to be
decided determination on the part of Germany
and Austria to reply with facts to the Pansla-
visit tendencies of Russia. Snch fact was the
speedy recognition of Sarvia's elevate on to the
ran of a kingdom, and the formal incorpora-
ton of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Austria
would be a second significant answer to. the
Panslavists."
The correspondent says the foregoing intelli-
gence, also the statement that Count Won
Wolkenstein has been treating at Berlin for
the final and defnitiye annexation to Austria
offBosnia and Herzegovina, was received from
a reliable friend and may be accurate, but he
draws attention to the fact that Count VOL
kenstein has just been appointed Austrian
Ambassador at st. Petersburg, and says he
doubts whether any diplomatist could main
tain his reputation as a persona grdtG at the
Russian Court if he was suspected to have
been made the instrument of such an anti
Russian policy.
The British Navy.
In the House of Commons last evening,
George Trevelyan, Secretary to the Admiralty

spend on the navy $4,000 more than during

further sales of old ships.

THE PERUVIAN INVESTIGA-

Minister Morton Makes Statement
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Secretary of
State says that he has received reply by cable
from Minister Morton, in answer to a telegram
sent him, to the following effect:
The minister stated that he has never, at
any time, been associated with any business
transactions needing or expecting the intsrven-
ton of the United States. In the ordinary
course of their business, Messrs. Morton, Bliss
q Co. had entered into contract simply for
the receipt of nitrates and guano sent to this
country and the States thereof, and that the
transactions were of the same class of business
as has been carried on by the firm for many
years. All preliminaries of the agreement it
self were made by George Bliss during Mr..
Mortons absence and before his departure for
his present post. Mr.. Bliss will be happy, if
desired by the Committee, to furnish all details
of the transaction as far as Mr.. Suarez or Mr..
Randall who are said to have been agents of
the Credit Industrie are concerned. Mr.. Nor
ton has had no communication with either of
them, and does not know them personally.
Neither does he know anything of any deal
ings they or either of them may have had with
the governments of the United States, Peru,
Chill, or the Credit Industrial, before the con-
cIusion of the agreement between Messrs
Randall and Bliss. Mr.. Morton has had no in
timation of any personal or official act being
expected of him, connected with the affairs Of
Chill or Peru, or in relation to the affairs of
either country, With the government of the
OnlteQ STATES OF OF EfauCe. MT. MORTON mas
never had conversation with any officer of
the United States touching business or politi-
cal matters in Peru or Chill, or the relations of
the other to the United States or French Re-
public. He has has no official or unofficial
communication, either indirectly or directly
with any person whatever having official con-
nection with, or serving either the United
States or French governments with the excep-
ton of conversation with President Grevy,
which was sought by the latter, which inter-
view was officially reported to the department.
at the time, and called for reply from Secre-
tary Blaine, which was communicated to M.
Grevy. and reply from the French President
thereto was also reported by Mr.. Morton, in
an official form.
Mr. Morton concludes by saying it has never
entered into his mind that it would be possible
to use, or attempt to use, his official position as
a minister to further objects of the late con-
tract and that he has never contemplated any
connection with regard to the affairs of Chilli
and Peru, except to carry on, in good faith,
such orders as this government may give him
in the premises.
Secretary Frelinghuysen says: have nee
essarily communicated only the import of Mr..
Morton's telegram, for the reason that the
original, being in cipher, the publication of the
literal text would afford clew to the secret
channels of telegraph correspondence.

The City Surveyor also received report that
a break had occurred at Live Oak Grove Pian-
tation on the right bank, about 70 miles Deiow
the city. These reports are not regarded at
CITY Hall as very reliable, especially as to the
exact location of the breaks. Storey's place is
in St. Bernard Parish. Live Oak Grove Is IN

the city from the crevasses there.

Maraney plantation 1000 yards. All are In
