New York Letter
New Workers have been much interested
within the last day or two over the news
from Europe concerning the extraordinary
doings OF the Heralds proprietor, in his
steam yacht Namouna, which are chronicIed
in the London World Evidently Mr.
Bennett was very much exhilarated by
French air. Life on board the Namouna
must have all the elements and uncertainty
as 20 what may become of them next. Mr.
Bennett is said to have made his guests
comfortable by playing on them
with fire hose and raising mock alarm
of fire, also to insist on the whole
crew getting roaring drunk upon
pain of instant dismissal if he is moi
obeyed. But in this last tipsy exploit hi
has surpassed himself. The gravity with
which Bennett must have refused the
protfered assistance from the Frenchman
must have been as good us play, for
'Jim's" pheoo nenal so5erness apparent
at such times is proverbial. | heard /
story yesterday in Illustration of it.
O0e New Years day Bennett arrived al
the Union club towards night, having
made many calls. He sat down In chair.
and, observing that some members of the
club were presenting Peter, The venerable
porter Of the club, with So bills as New
Years presents, he called him over, anu
fishi0g down into one OF his pockets
bron ght up a bill.
Peter, my friend he said, without
looking at the bill, take tn 4t.'
Thank you, sir" said Peter. his eyes
.,E = t,a -I.rl,+ = l.,
Bennett gazed at him for second, said
sleepi!y, ''Wait, Peter" and diving down
into another pocket brought up another
bill.
Fake that, Peter"
This performance went on for fully five
minutes. Every time that the astonishe6
Peter attempted to retire he was called
back, and the presentation of every kind
of bill, from 81 to $50, went on to the
amusement of the spectators. When no
more bills came forth Bennett stopped anG
went away. Peter asked some of the
members what he had best do with his hat
full OF money. He was advised to ask Mr.
Bennett the next time he came whether he
had not given him by mistake more than
he had intended. So the next day wher
Bennett appeared Peter said to him:
Mr.. Bennett, think you gave more OF
New Years present than you intendel
last night"
Bennett looked at him for few seconds
no having the glimmer of an idea of how
nluch he had given, or whether he had
give anything at all.
Low much did give you, Peter?''
Eight hundred dollars, sir.''
The position was delicate one, but no
SO much so to man with an income of
million year as to an ordinary mortal
THAT was the amount intended for you
Peter" said Bennett without sign of an
noyance.

4 FRAGMENT OF RUSSIAN E0LE
LORE.

A certain woman had q daughter of
her own and a step-daughter. She IoaG
wished to set rid OF her step-taugAtes.
Al last she said to her husband: Take
your daughter away from InT 81. car
her wherever you like. Leave he- in
the open fields to the cracking ftoses.
The father wept and walled h,l5 az
length he yielded, placed his daughter
on his sledge, drove her out into the
open field and there deposited her
Then, having crossed himself, he hast
ened home so as not to witness his
daughters death. The poor girl, Il
alone, shivered and uttered silen5
prayer. Up came Frost and said:
Maiden, maiden, 1 am ReG-ncsed
Frost" Good day to you, Frost, " she
replied; "I suppose God has sent YOU
for my sinful soul Frost had in
ten3el-to s1n;ta her; but he was pleased
by her wa ot speaking, SO he took
compassion on her and threw her a.
warm cloak She wrapped herself MP,
in it and remained sitting there. Twice
did Frost come to visit her, and each
time she pleased Frost so much by her
sage replies that he made her all man
ner of presents She decked herself
with the gold and jewels ne gave her
and sat on the box which had con-
tanned them, singing songs. Meantime
her step-mother was baking cakes for
her funeral feast. When they We're
ready she sent her husband forth to
fetch his daughters body home. When
he had been gone awhile the hOuse-doS
barked from under the table: "The
old mans daughter is being brought
home all in gold and silver, but the old.
woman's daughter has no suitors." " In.
vain did the step-mother regale it with
cakes, in order to make it change it's
tune. It barked on as before. When
the girl arrived, in all her glory, the
stepmother was at first astounded.
Then, after hearing what had occurred,
she ordered husband to take her own
daughter out to the same spot in the
open field and leave her there. He
obeyed. Presently Frost appeared and
addressed the girl as he had addressed
her predecessor, but no good words
could be got from her, so he flew into
rage and froze her to death. When
her mother sent for her, after time,
the bonse-dog beneath the table again
began to bark, this time exclaining :
"Sn;tors are coming for the Old mans
dang}l5eT, bat the old woman's daugh-
ter IS bag Of bones" The door opened,
and the girl was brought in dead Her
mother wept and walled, but it was too
late.

4 LETTER OF RECoMmEyDATIoN.

Under the old system, which divides
Offices as spoils captured in battle, in
fuential gentlemen are often asked for
letters of recommendation Sometimes
those asking are Of such doubtful rep
utation, though useful as party hacks,
that the letters are written in ambigu-
Gus phrases which really mean nothing,
though they seem to mean much.
Not thus wrote Judge Underwood, Of
Georgia. He was once asked by his
son for letter recommending him to
Gov. Crawford, and gave it. John
posted to the Governor, but, knowing
his father, thought he would open the
letter before presenting it. Judge of

It was of this John, who was noted for
his facility in changing his politics, that

Johns politics?" said, Really, I can't

Early in the year 1885 an amusing.

EDUCATIONAL QUERIES.

Does the committing to memory OF
sentences and definitions in many cases
really convey any idea to the child's
mind of the subject matter attempted to
be taught?
Is it not suggestive that story full
of historical or geographical facts told a
group of children, by one who likes to
tell them such stories, viii hold It's
place In their memories without any
repetition, while the same children may
drone whole day over half a dozen
answers to be memorized without know
ing in the least what they mean Or i'm
ply?
Is the mind reservoir to be crammed
with facts or opinions which may c.
may not be facts?
Or is it rather q mirror which tho
more it is polished the better therein
are seen the numberless facts all about
! US?
Is there nothing suggestive in the
fact that &ell-educated men, who can
tell almost everything which has been
printed in books, are working for far
| less than the wages of q good cook IN
writing what they know, and a great
deal they don't, for booksellers?
Is there anything suggestive in tho
fact that, if a boy is turned loose, he
Will learn the geography and topogra-
ply of whole country in a months
time, when he will sweat over his writ
ten geography for whole year, and,
when asked, will declare q lake to be a
body of water surrounded by-water
And why is it that the boy learns to
load a gun, build rabbit trap, OF drive
horse, ten times quicker than he does
his geography lesson?
And if mechanical teachers, who
work chiefly for the money, hear
words and sentences mechanically com
mitted to memory by the dear children
out of school-books, mechanically writ
ten for money, will it not all result in {
mechanical, parroty sort Of education
What did Garfield mean when ht
sad thai It was a wonder that SO many
American children survived the hor
rors of public-school education?"
Why not have few grown men ant
women try the experiment OF going tc
school five hours per day for eigh
months, and studying from doze1
books, more or less, in order at the enc
of that time they may look into thei
minds and see how much they have re
