It was my pleasure, also, to meet Superin- tendent Wright of Indian Territory, of whom I spoke some months ago in connection with the educational work among the Choctaws- Mir.

But from first to last Secretary Northrop is realizing the hopes of the Connecticut State Board of Education through much individual work, which de- serves more than 8 passing notice. It Is to the credit of Connecticut that her State in hueuce is exerted in behalf of the ignorant millions at the South; especially is this true since southern men are thus allowed to speak for the South.

Using Ones Eyes.


 How many of us go through life without ever realizing that our eyes have to be edu- cated to see. as we'll as our tongues to speak, and that only the barest outlines of the com plex and ever r-changing images focused on the retina ordinarily impress themselves up- on the brain That the education of the eye may be brought to high state of perfection is shown in numerous ways There are many delicate processes of manufacture which depend for their practical success up- on the nice visual perception of the skilled artisan, who, almost unconsclously, detects
 variations of temperature, color, density, ! .Sc. of his materials which are lnappreciable to the ordinary eye The hunter, the mari ner the artist, the scientist. each needs to educate the eye to quick action in his special field of research before he can hope to be- come expert in it. The following story,
 which is quite apropos. is related of Agassiz, and it is sufficiently characteristic of this re- markedly accurate observer to have the merit of probability. We are told that once upon a time the Professor had occasion to | select an assistant from one Of his classes.
 There were number of candidates for the
 post of honor, and, finding himself in | uuandary as to which one he should choose, l the happy thought occurred to him of sub i jecting three of the more promising students i in turn to the simple test of describing the 1 view from his laboratory window. which ON6IlDOheu luc aAA OA lII NOASSS- |--S said that be saw merely a board fence and a brick pavement; another added a stream of soapy water third detected the color of ! the paint on the fence, noted green mold 1 or fungus on the bricks, and evidences of
 -'bluing'' in the water, besides other details
 It is needless to tell to which candidate was ! awarded the coveted position Houldin, the celebrated prestidigitateur, attributed his success in his profession mainly to his quick ness of perception, which, he tells us in bis
 entertaining autobiography, he acquired by educating his eye to detect large number of objects at a single glance. His simple plan
 was to select some shop window full of a miscellaneous assortment of articles, and to
 walk rapidly past 1t a number of times every
 day. writing down each object which i'm pressed itself upon his mind In this way
 he was able, after time, to detect instantane-
 ously all of the articles in the window, even 1 though they might be numbered by scores.

THE RAILROAD CRISIS IN THE HOUSE
 In accordance with general expectation, the Parallel railroad scheme yesterday passed the House. The debate which preceded the vote was a long and interesting one and some able and forcible speeches were made on both sides. The result of the voting in the House will of course be claimed as great victory by those who are working for the Parallel scheme, but it is well understood that the real struggle is coming in the Senate. What the vote in that body will be probably no one can tell, though there are number of people who profess to know As some of these say positively that the Parallel scheme will go through and some say as positively that it will not, our readers can pay their money and take their choice. It is, however, not too much o say that at present the indi- cations are that it will not pass the Senate.

There has been appropriated for the English navy for 1S82-S3 the sum of GIO, 483 901, an actual decrease of e221, 13O from the appropriations of last year. The appropriation this year is the lowest for the last three years. There are decreases in the wages to seamen and marines, in naval stores and in new works. The only large increase is for machinery and ships built by contract With the sum to be placed at the disposal of the admiralty, it is proposed to build 20, 142 tons of new construction, larger quantity than has been attempted for many years. Fifteen new ironclads are to be commenced and finished eight steel corvettes, 10 sloops and small vessels and 21 torpedo boats Last year the quantity was 1S,S89 and the year before 16, ,821.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A learned man is tank; q wise man
is h spring.
The great hope of society is individ-
ual character.
BY work OF the mind one secures re-
pose Of the heart.
Lazincss travels 50 slow that poverty
soon overtakes him.
Reasons Of things are rather TO be
taken BY weight than tale.
II is more honorablc TO acknowledge
our faults than to boast Of our
merits.
Reflect upon your present blessings,
Of which every man has many not on
your past nisfortunes, Of which all
men have some.
BY holding a very little misery quite
close 70 our eyes we entirely lose sight
Of a great deal of comfort beyond
which might be taken.
II is wonderful how silent 3 man can
be when he knows his cause is just, and
how boisterous he becomes when he
knows be is in the wrong.
There is nothing so certain. We take
IL, as that those who are the most alert
in discovering the faults Of work Of
genius are the least touched with its
beauties.
There is nothing keeps longer than a
middling fortune, and nothing meltS
away sooner than great one. Poverty
treads upon the heels of great and I'M.
expected riches.
The wise one says that nothing is 20
hard to bear as prosperity; but most
men would like to engage in some
hard work OF that description, Just to
have q practical illustration Of the
adage.
The best receipt for going through
life in an exquisite way, with beautiful
manners, is TO feel that everybody, no
matter how rich or how poor. needs all
the kindness they can get from Others

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

II has been.proyon by observation
that in districts subject TO typhus fewer
cases appear when the ground is more
thoroughly saturated with water. and
more when It contains less moisture.
Owing to the rapid evaporation Of
moisture from the leaves, the tenn
perature of trunks Of trees, breast high
from the ground, has been found TO be
five degrees centigrade cooler than the
air of the forest.
There was time when the moon was
but 40, 900 miles away from us, and was
consequently far more efficient tide
producer than at present. Instead of a
tide three feet high, which is nov an
average, it would raise one GAS feet in
height.
From observation Of the diffusion of
sunlight by the clouds NJ. Clem4ndot
was induced to experiment with mineral
wool or spun Stag ia order to ascertain
its effect upon the light of the
electric arc. he has found that
when the rays pass through this sub
stance, seventy-fve or eighty per cent.
Of the light becomes available for illu-
minatiop, while the ordinary processes
make useful not more than forty five or
fity per cent.
Experimenting upon dogs, III. Leven
has found that coffee produces anAemia
OF the stomach and Ietards digestion.
It's habitual use must, therefore, lead
to dyspepsia. Continuing his expert.
ments, NJ. Leycn has become convinced
that sugar acts powerfully in siding di-
ge6tion, and he freely prcscribes its use
in cases Of dyspepsia. From these ex.
pcriments he draws the practical lesson
that the infusion Of coffee should be
sufficiently swectened to stimulate the
secret0ry function, and thus assist di.
gcstiou.
Mr. S. b. Evans is satisfied that the
same race built the prehistoric mounds
found in Mexico and the United States.
He bases bis belief on the alleged facts
/ OF a close resemblance Dctwe en the con
struction Of these remains, Of the siui-
larity of the implements employed, Of
the buIial Of the dead being exactly
alike, and OF the close likeness Of the
skulls fourd in the tombs Of the mound

NAV be. The Aziecs were not the
mound builders. because be holds they
had no tendency through religious or
other motives in that direction, and the

surprised TO find the hen missing and
the eggs gone and in their stead huge
rattlesnake comfortably ooiled up.
Noticing the swelled condition of his

pinned his head 10 the ground. Then,
with rake, the tail was drawn out and
fastened down to prevent wiggling. A
penknife soon split the reptile from
head to tail and the eggs were taken
ont. Beirg carefully washed they were

To let the new life in, we know
Desire must opo the portal;
Perhaps the longing to beso
Helps make the soul immortal.

With our poor oarthward striving;

Content with merely living;
But, would We learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
