"Cormeet" T-amderbift,s Debts.

A letter from Hartford, Conn, says:
''The late Cornelius J. Vanderbilt becomes
a living memory again in the community.
Indeed he viii probably always be a man
of note here, and the note unpaid at that.
What revives him now is the announcement
that his magnificent and really palatial
house on Vanderbilt hill is to be sold by
auction with all its contents the 28th. It is
doubtful If there is another wood house of
equal richness and elegance in Connect
cut. Apparently no expense was spared
anywhere. The interior wood work is very
fine, the decoration and coloring of walls,
carpets, etc, is rich and harmonious, and
the style of the furniture can be inferred
from sideboard, which is a magnificent
piece of Venitian carving. All this must
go. The house is mortgaged to the school
fund of Connecticut for $4,000, and it is
said there are builders liens on it besides.
Then of Cornelius old and new debts the
probate court has declared about $4,000
to be still valid. They also make lien
upon his Connecticut estate. Should
the Mr.. Terry, who inherits by Mr.. Van
derbilt's will, take the house, as he could
under the will, he would have to assume
and pay these debts, and moreover he
would have a pretty large house on his
hands; so, it is reported, he prefers to let
the Connecticut estate settle itself. Who
will buy the house remains TO be seen It
occupies the finest situation near Hartford,
and there are fewer finer places in the
state, but the hitch in the real estate mar
ket, for long time-the worst hitch that
is-has been in the disposal of elegant
places. A man will refuse $4,000
for $4,000 place, and then go and
spend $4,000 building a house that he
can't sell for $4,000 when it is done. We
have some very elegant places for sale
here now, such as Gov. JewelPs ia mily
mansion, the Henry j. Johnson place, next
to Vanderbilts, on the same ridge, and
others, and the test of what the finest of
them will bring under the hammer, will be
looked for with great interest. AS for
Vanderbilt's debts they still exist, and his
brother, who sailed for Europe with mil
lion dollar letter of credit in his pocket
just for few weeks spending money, has
never replied to the correspondence from
here that suggested to him to clean up the
family record by paying ths poor trades
people and widows who hold Cornelius Us
promises to paw"
Messrs. Il. Hoe & Co., OF New York, the
famous press manufacturers, have Just
written letter to the Boston Globe that
their new perfecting press will be COM
pleted in September. This will give the
Globe capacity of $4,000 papers an hour
and enable the management to print and
deliver 200 600 Globes in four hours, the
| time in which a morning and evening
newspaper usually occupies in printing
and delivery. The enormous increase in
the circulation of the daily and Sunday
Globe forced the management to order ad
ditional machinery and confirms the i'm
preston in the public mind that the Glob
is making rapid strides.

RATS ON SHIPS.

WAerc There is No cat the Rats Haze
EcerytIiiJ Their OUn Way.
Certainly the place to study these vermin
in their utmost luxuriance is on board q
ship where there is no cat. 1 don't believe
that sea-going cats catch very many-they
are too well fed and lazy for that-but
their mere presence seems to keep the rats
under. Possibly it is that it is being
afraid to come within knowledge of the
enemy (Which, with their sharp senses of
hearing, sight and smell, would mean a
pretty wide berth''), the rats are
compelled to remain within a linn
tied space and prey on each
other; but whatever the reason may be, it
is an undoubted fact that their numbers
seem to increase enormously if the vessel
happens to be without cat. when they get
bold beyond belief. 1t is strange that
nothing seems to terrify them but the
feline monitor. 1 have sailed in steamers
under these circumstances where they were
becoming absolutely dangerous from their
multitude and impudence; committing
their ravages in broad daylight under ones
very nose, almost disputing the food on the
table with the legitimate diners, and either
making leisurely off when assaulted, or
sometimes actually turning and facing
their assailants.
Such a state of affairs as this is some
thing more than an inconvenience. We
used to kill numbers of them with the
greatest ease, but the fate of their COM
rades had no deterrent effect upon the
surviving criminals, so far as we could
see. No wonder that the cats rose in price
at the first port We touched at I shouId
think they have been scarce there ever
since. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
at night, when all was still, the rats ap-
peared in shoals, rushing past one down
the companions, tumbling from beams
with a dull thud, sweeping across the
moonlit decks and awnings like the shadow
of cloud, and starting up unexpectedly
under ones hands and feet; while their
clatter and uproar, dragging about of
heavy things, capsizing dishes and basins,
squealing and yells, combined with their
occasional jumping or dropping on US, or
running across our faces, rendered it nee
essary to be very sleepy indeed before
turning in with any hope of rest. The
boats are always their great resort, since
they are generally sure of getting a drink
there; raln-water collects in them, or lies
in the depressions of their canvas covers
An experienced nautical cat will be seen
to frequently climb the davits and make
an inspection of the boats at sea. 1t used
to be rather amusing to watch the rats al
night, running from davit to davit along
the chains to which the awning lanyards
are made fast, their 1.-THE bodies sharply
defined against the clear sky.

MISS EDITH BURRART. residing at
Youngstown, Ohio, had, as young ladies
sometimes do, a gentleman correspondent.
In soneway a sealed letter addressed TO
The fair Edith fell into the hands of Mrs.
Margaret Hopkins and that lady opened it
and read it, whereupon the young lady
whose private lights were thus invaded
caused Mrs. Hop kins to be arrested by a
United States marshal and brought before
United States Commissioner for viola
ton of the postal laws. Mrs Hopkins
confessed that she opened the letter, and
was frank enough to say that she wanted
to know who it was that was writ
ing to Miss B., and what he was writing
about. The stern official did rot find in
the culprit's plea of curiosity any miti-
eating circumstances, and accordingly
held her for trial in the United States
court at Cleveland. Before the case is
disposed of Mrs. Hopkins will deeply re-
greet the interest she took in the young
lady's affairs, and the more so as she failed
in capturing Miss Edith's lover and at
taching him to herself, and her jealousy
has placed her in very painful position

Prof. HUXLEY on Elementary Teaohina.

F7OJ' HdcteJ on Elementary IedChiIIH.
There are a great many people who i'm
agine that elementary teaching might
be properly carried out by teachers pro
vided with only elementary knowledge
Let me assure you that that is the pro
fOundest mistake in the world. There is
nothing so difficult to do as to write q
good elementary book, and there is no.
body so hard to teach properly and we'll as
people who know nothing about a subject
and L will tell you why. II I address
an audience of persons who are
occupied in the same line OF
work as myself [ can assume
that they know vast deal, and that they
can find out the blunders l make. If they
don't, it is their fault and not mine; but
when I appear before body of people
who know nothing about the matter, who
take for gospel whatever 1 say, surely it
becomes needful that I consider what I
say, make sure that it Will bear examina-
ton. and that do not impose upon the
credulity of those who have faith in me-
In the second place, it involves that diff
cult process of knowing what you know so
we'll that you can talk about it as you can
talk about your ordinary business. A
u4du Cuu always tdlk ABOUT MS own Du-
siness. He can always make it plain; but
if his knOwledgeis hearsay he is afraid to
go beyond what he has recollected and put
ii before those that are ignorant in such a
shape that they shall comprehend it. That
is why, to be a good elementary teacher,
to teach the clements Of any subject, re-
quires most careful consideration if you
are master of the subject; and if you are
not a master of it, it is needfuI you should
familiarize yourself with so much as you
are called upon to teach-soak yourself
in it, SO to peak-until you know
it as a part of your daily life
and daily knowledge, and then you
will be able to teach anybody. That is
what l mean by practical teachers, and
although the deficiency has been remedied
to large extent, think it is one which
has long existed, and which has existed
from no fault of those who undertook to
teach, but because until within the last
score of years it absolutely was not pos
sible for anyone in great many branches
of science. whatever his desire might be,
to get instruction which would enable him
to be good teacher of elementary things.
All that is being rapidly altered, and !
hope will soon become thing of the past
