THE HIGHER GLoRY.-When the
disciples were sent forth throughout
the land of Israel to proclaim the
gospel of the kingdom of God, they
returned with joy, saying, "Lotd,
even the demons are subject uutp us
through thy name They seem not
to have taken note of the work
wrought by the g ospel they preached;
that which specially attracted their
attention was not the salvation of
men but the subsection of demons.
Doubtless there are to-day, persons
who would show much more interest
in the discontinue of Satan than in
the salvation of the lost, for many
man would sooner fight anti Christ
than follow Christ. Our Savior led
the minds OF the disciples to higher
and more important things. "Re
joice not, that tho spirits are subject
unto you, but rather rejoice because
your names are written in heaven y
This is the great occasion of gladness;
not the things which we have done
for the Lord, but the things which
the Lord has done for as; not vic
tory gained, or miracle wrought,
but the great fact that our souls are
at peace with God, that we arc adop>
ted into the divine family, and that
our names are written; not upon the
rolls of earthly fame and worldly
honor, but in the book of life of the
slain lamb of God. What Joy is
there for us in heaven or earth COM
pared with this?
Tell me no more Of fame and wealth,
OF careless ease and blooming health,
For they have all their snares;
Let me but know my sits forgiven,
And see my name enrolled in heaven,
Aud | am free from cares"

Prof. Greenwood, of Kansas City

vestisation as to what school children
read. He has Just made an interest

report. He spent eight months i'll

during that time 1871 boys and

found that thirty per cent. of the

eli ht and "a half per cent. history,
nine and half per cent. biography,
eight per cent. scientific, two per
cent. lite sturs and essays, nearly
twelve per cent. poetry, eight per
cent. miscellaneous, ana eleven per
cent. "trash.' Upon inquiry it was
also found that four hundred and
thirty.two pupils had read one or
more coui,s Of a tlashy sporting
paper published in New York City;
in other words, that one pupil out Of
every five was either constant or an
occ lsional reader of that paper. In
ffty.seven rooms pupils were found
who read it; in nine rooms, no read
ers. When questioned, the pupils
said they read it because it chad lots
about fights and killings in it., and
with great unanimity they thought

Then that method of spelling which
comes nearest to practical life work
will be preferable.
How can this be accomplished ?
Will oral spelling accomplish it?
Will written spelling, as it is car
ried on in great many ofour schools,
accomplish it?
can see but one argument in fa-
vor of oral spelling, namely: The pu.
pill can improve in articulation
We can find many arguments in
favor of written spelling, of which
the following are few:
lst. The pupil can improve his
handwriting.
3D. The sense Of both sight and
hearing is appealed to, while in oral
spelling we can appeal only to the
ear.
Sd He may be instructed both in
punctuation and in the use of capi-
tails.
4th. In oral spelling pupil in
large class will scarcely ever spell
more than two or three words, while
in written work each pupil can spell
at least ten words in the same time.
9th. As all his spelling in after lie
will be with the pen, he is brought
in closer connection with practical
work.
These reasons | believe to be
enough to prove that if written spell
ing, if carried on right, is preferable.

STAMPING OUT NIHILISM.

In an interview with q prominent states

ton and prospects Of the nihilists, and said
Vera Phllepara, recently arrested at Khar-

executive committee. She has written q
vOluminous confession showing that she
and another woman, who chose South Rus
STA as their field of enterprise, alienated
the allegiance of many army officers, forty
of whom have been arrested. The nihi-
lists are miserably weakened in men and
means, having lost many prominent men,

the worst blow of all. They now regard
Lavroff, in Paris, as their chief. The
campaign will now be conducted from

driven to murder and robbery in order to

The attention Of ex-Judge Fullerton
being called to statement that no
foreign counsel would be permitted to
take part in court in the defense Of
O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey, unless
previously qualified by the English bar
and also to the assertion that the law
giving the right to a foreigner of a
trial by mixed jury in England had
been abolished some eleven years ago.
''As l had previously stated" replied
the eminent advocate, II intended to
start for England to defend O'Donnell
on the 9th or 7th inst. Since learning,
however, that L would in all likelihood
be debarred from participating in the
trial IN open court, and also that
O'Donnell would not be allowed trial

twill be remembered that the corpse
OF a lad named Whittemore was last
week found in the river at Princeton,
Wisconsin. The boys father and a
widow named Long have been arrested
for the murder. Mrs. Long once at
tempted to poison Whittemore's wife
and failed. Searching his house, they
found bloody clothes, when she had
been wearing up to the murder, and
butcher knife and two razors stained
with blood. In the well on her prem
ises was found a club with blood
marks. The neighbors say that crimi-
nal intimacy existed between the widow
and Whittemore, and that it was known
to his ten-year-o son, who was prob
ably thus disposed Of to stop the scan
dial. The theory is that the boy was
killed by Mrs. Long in her cellar, and
that the father carried the body to the
river, and hid it in the place where he
pretended to discover it ten days later.
Mrs. Long is daughter of ex-COunty
Judge A. II. Myers.
Colonel Churchill, of st. Louis, in
response to telegram that his daugh-

The daughter at first declined to re-
turn to st. Louis, but was finally per-
suaded to make brief visit. She says
she will return and continue her work
at the asylum, where she has been en-
ployed as ironer, under the name of
Jennie Lockwood. When she first
came to the city she secured position
as chambermaid at one of the hotels,
but remained only few days. At the
asylum she has entertained the officials
by her musical renditions, and has sur
prised them for her taste for and
