says:
Years and years OF closest study are given
TO other tongues, both ancient and modern
tongues which only fraction Of sducat.

while only incidental and comparatively
superficial attention is given 10 that
mother tongue which all are compelled
TO use, in speech or in writing every day Of
their lives, and on Q skillful use Of which,
with many, depend in no small degree
their success or failure in life. And In
saying this it is not forgotten that for the
enlargement Of ones
knowledge OF EaGlish Words
and for the cultivation Of that nice dis.
elimination between synonyms, which only
the most careful study of language can i'm

A BRISK FALL TRADE.

Nrw Yozx. September THAT there has

THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
The Maid of the Mist Passes Through
the whirlpool Rapids.

BUFFALO, n. Y, September Cover ten
thousand people witnessed the successful
passage OF the dummy steamer, Maid OF
the Mist, through the whirlpool rapids this
afternoon. The banks of the river were
thronged, and much excitement prevailed
The boat was towed to midstream at $40
and set adrift. She started sluggishly,
smoke pouring from her smokestack
and flags flying. Near the first
rapid she was whirled about by
an eddy, and when she struck the
pillows she was thrown on her beam end,
and nearly cspsized. Nearly all the pas
ssge, which occupied two minutes, she was
tossed about like toy, and rolled in the
trough of the sea, which occasionally
washed her deck. She reached the whirl-
pool without disaster and went ashore on
the Canada side, where she was boarded by
some boys who stripped her OF her ban
ners and set her adrift. She was in the
whirlpool thirteen minutes. Tonight the
boat was recovered at Lewistown, near the
mouth of the river. The only damage was
a portion of her stern, which was broken.
The boat was badly wrenched, but took
very little water.

NEW York, September Have you

Tue truck system is an infringement on
