The Golden Gate.

The name so popularity borne by this unique
watery avenue provokes but little inquiry into
its origin. Having met with UNMARRIED failure
in my inquiries among San Franciscans as to
Its origin, gave my studies aliterary scope
and after much searching found the source of
its euphonious title in Gen. Fremont's Geo
graphical Memoir of California" written in
lo47, wherein he confers upon the wonderful
strait the name of the Golden Gate"
The happy feature Of the name did not then
occur to the General, nor to anyone else, in its
full force, for he deemed il. doubtless, merely
the gate to the golden West-the exit to the
realms of the radiant sunset; but, with the
discovery Of the sources of the golden streams
which discharge their waters through its portals
In the years Immediately succeeding-and the
entry, over its surfsce, of many adventurous
seekers after the Golden Fleece of modern
LINES, the appropriateness and happy signif-
of the California Campaign of 1s49 became
more strikingly obvious.

APRoPos of Reform and other Schools
the Boston Traveller says: "The recent
severe iogging of boy in the Pennsylvania
Military Academy is likely to attract atten-
ton to a curious inconsistency of our laws.
If a schoolboy, ordinarily of good conduct
and studious habits, offends teacher. the
master has authority to fog severely with a
rattan. On the other hand, il boy of the
same age, who is a hardened criminal, is
convicted and sent to prison, and there dis
obeys all rules and is at all times disrespect
full to those in authority, he is protected by
the law, and his sacred person must not
feel the rod or the lash. The boy of good
habits and fine instincts may be treated like
brute, while the boy of brutal instincts is
treated with consideration he is not capa-
Bile of appreciating."

As between the semi-barbarous Cetewayo

the potentate at Constantinople lives in dali
~ dread of assassination, hides from imag-
ined enemies in the recesses of his palace,

A SORT of ''ffty-four-forty-or- dis
pute has arisen between Brazil and the Ar
gentine Confederation, both nations laying
claim to slice of territory between the I'M
disputed possessions of each. Thus far the
Argentines appear to have the best of it, in
ssmuch as they are in possession, and thus
hold nine points of the law. But on the
other hand the Brazilian title seems to be
better. A war can hardly fail to result in
favor OF Brazil, because of its greater re-
sources, though at present the Argentine
navy is very much stronger than the Brazil
ian, and its army is not to be despised.

WHEN e+he Duke of Manchester came over
last spring to perfect the arrangements of
syndicate to buy some millions of acres of
land on the line of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, he was lionized both in the United
States and Canada, and on the strength of
his name the speculation was widely adver-
tised to be big thing. Now it appears that
the Duke drew out short time afterward,
aud the company has at last collapsed. The
reason for its failure is not far to seek, ire
spective of the want of lordly patronage.
There is not sufficient immigration to Mani
toba, and the Northwest beyond that region,

The Congressional Library.

y
Mr.. Reed takes the ri hit view of the ques-
ton of putting up suitable house for the
Congressional Library, and eloquently urges
his opinions. he properly insists that the
Library has become much more than a col
lection of reference books for the use of Con-
gressmen. 1t is emphatically national LIZ
hrary. In it ara to be found copies OF all
copyrighted American books, and, unless
change is made in the law, 1t will contain
copies of all American books to be pub
lished. 1t promises to be the great store
house of American iterature--the only COM
plete store house In the land. In it are some
things unworthy Of preservation, and many
other things that, of trivial consequence
now, will be of great value to posterity. The
worth of apparently worthless pamphlets is
happily illustrated in Mr.. Reeds fine allus-
lon to Lord Macaulay and the British
Museum. Our great national collection
ought to be securely housed, and this need
full work can be done with less than half the
money squandered on job like the River
and Harbor Bill. All lovers of books and
seekers after knowledge will sympathize
with the plea made by so sincere a book lover
and so thorough student as Mr.. Reed

THERE is an ominous suggestiveness in the
report that the Sultan is going out of his mind.
The story is not an unlikely one, for that
potentate has never been noted for strength
of intellect, and he has had great deal to
worry him lately. But it is not improbable
that this rnmor is connected with certain
intrigues and plottings which have lately
been set afoot and which have for their OBJ
ject Abdul Hamid's deposition. The clas-
sic poet has it that whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad, and the Turk
ish Pashas act upon m uch the same princi-
pie. Unless Abdul Hamid's mental derange-
ment speedily improves we may expect to
hear that he has stabbed himself with pair
OF scissors or quilted this mortal scene in
some other such violent fashion.

EULOGY ON GARFIELD.

Following is portion of Blsine's
eulogy on Garfield which was not sent
heretoforel.
Not alone for the one short moment in
which stunned and daHed, he could give
up life, hardly aware OF it's relinquIsh-
ment, but through days of deadly Ian
gor, through weeks of agony that WAS
not less agony because silently borne;
with a clear sight and calm courage he
looked into Ais open grave. What blight
and ruin met bis snguished eyes? Whose
lips may tell what brilliant broken
plans, what 5sffied high ambition, what
slnm herring, strong. warm mAnhoo1s,
friendships, what bitter reading of
swest household ties? Behind him,
proud, expectant nasion. great host of
sustaining friends, cherished and b, DID
mother, wearing ths full rich honors Of
her early toll and teas, tbs wife Of his
youth, whose whole life lay in his; the
little boys, not yet emerged
from childhood's day of frolic; the
fair young daughter, the sturdy sous
just sprlnging into closest companion
ship, claiming every day, and every day
rsWarding u fathers love and care, and
in his heart the eager rejoicing power to
meet all demands before him Desoa-
ton, and great darkness and his
soul was not shaken. His countrymen
were thrilled With, for an instant,
profound and universal sympa-
thy. Masterful in his moral weakness,
he became the centre of nations love
enshrined in the prayers of 3 world; but
all the love, and &ll the sympathy could
not hare with him in his suffering. He
trod the wine press alone, with unfalter-
ing front, he faced death with unfsiling
tenderness. He took leave oflife. Above
the demoniac hiss of the sssassin's bull
let he heard the voice Of Cod With
simple resignation he bowed to the
divine decree A the end drew near his
early craving. the craving for the
sea. returned. The stately mansion Of
power had been to him the weary hos
pitsl Of pain, and he begged to be taken
from its prison walls, from its oppressive
sitting air, from its homelessness and
from its hopelessness. q 4ntly, silently,
the love o. u great people bore the pale
sufferer To the longed for healing of the
ses, to live or 20 die as God
should will, within sight of its heaving
pillows, with sounds of its manifold
EOICoe. w III naHI le" u AaCei teuO-
erly lifted to the cooling breeze he looked
out wistfully upon the oceans changing
wonders, on its far sails whitening in the
moving light. on its restless waves roll
ing shorsward to break and die beneath
the MONDAY sun, on the red clouds OF
evening srchiDg low to the horizon, on
the serene and shining pathway of the
stars, Let US think that his dying eyes
read a mystic meaning which only the
rapt and parting soul may know. Let
US believe that in the silence OF the re-
cseding world, he;heard the great waves
breaking on . farther shore, that there
fell already upon bis wasted brow the
breath Of the early morning.

members can, ii they resort only TO mod
rstely Obstructive tactics, prolong the
iebate in the House Of Common on
rladstone's motion concerning the action

as. The Daily NesCS points out that if
mis- happens and the discussion OF the
ules has to be postponed until after

insIe measure announced in the Queens
peech. It will be DO wonder, under

ministrstion Of the land act, were to be
excluded from the scope of the House Of
Lords inquiry, he would be prepared to
abstain from moving his resolution,
but as he saw no prospect Of
such Limitation, it was his
duty to persevere. Northcote said
he thought this announcement was an
additional reason for giving the Lords
time to consider. The motion to post
pone was adopted 800 against 1877. With
reference to this vote it ia stated that
Gladstone, st the liberal meeting at his
house, to-day, said he would treat this
point as one of q want of confidence

cussion, ais supporters would confne
themselves to governments objection to
