ined 1871 boys and 1906 girls to learn what
they read. Thirty per cent was fiction,
nearly II travels and adventures, 81 history,
81 biography, 8 per cent. scientific and II
per cent. "trash" Four hundred and thir-
ty-two pupils had read one or more copies of
afashy New York sporting paper. They
said they read it because it chad lots about
fights and killings in it," and with great
unanimity they thought SIT ought not to be
sold for children to read it, The report
concludes as follows: 81 found some chill
dren who read no books; others, again, who
read only the poorest. All were anxious to
read. The teachers are only too glad to help
them Nearly all children that attend
school are reached: but who is able to reach
the waits and outcasts and others who do
not attend school? Nearly all those who
can read revel daily over the very lowest
class of literature. Hundreds and thousands
pity them, but pity is not what they need
they need help, and that Immediately. 1t
NAV be that some day our legislators will
think of these 'nobody's children Let us

WOMEN, as trained nurses, are in steady
demand at handsome pay in New York city.
The Troy Times correspondent says: "a
physician said to me recently: I am treat
ing the case of an old lady who was injured
by fall, and we have the benefit of trained
nurse. This is of very great importance, as
such nurse can be depended on. He then
added that the pay was $50 week and
board, which is certainly doing better than
many other kinds of women's work. These
nurses are educated here for this purpose,
and about thirty are graduated every year;
but this is far short of the demand. The
terms at the Presbyterian hospital for pay
patients is 81 per week in the wards-that
is where large number of beds occupy a
spacious hall-but for private room with
special nurse $50 is added. The free beds
are supported by endowments for the bene-
fit of the poor, but there is always number
of patients of the most expensive character,
and hence good nurses are well paid"

The nomination of Judge Gresham to the
head of the Post Office Department is re-
ceiyed with general satisfaction throughout
the country, not only by the Presidents own
party, but by the opposition. The new
Postmaster General, though by no means an
obscure man, was notla conspicuous Eone.
He has, however, given ample proof of high
character and of capacity. and his courage
and ability as a soldier are strong claims on
the admiration of the country. It has, of
course, been suggested in some quarters
that the appointment was made to strength
en- the President personally and as a part of
a scheme for his denomination, but the peo-
pie will regard with great complacency
every effort which Mr.. Arthur may make to
secure popularity by the selection of able,
upright and independent Republicans for
such places as he may have to fill. If Judge
Gresham shall fulfill the promise which his
previous career holds out, he will contrib
ute TO the Administration precisely that
strength which the country win be very
glad 10 see it possess.

The result in Rhode Island shows that 1t

reform with such political ember as viii

good Democrats voted for him with curses
at the folly which had put him in a.place
that better man and Democrat should
have occupied, and we doubt if they feel any
better about it now that the result Is known.
The Rhode Island Democracy have hurt the
cause of equal rights by an alteration,
which we ardently trust is but temporary,

PROF. Huxley said in recent lecture:
II have said it before, and repeat il here,
that if man cannot get literary culture of
the highest kind out of his Bible, and Chau-
Ger and Shakespeare, and Milton and Hobbies,
and Bishop Berkeley, to mention only a few
of our illustrious writers-I say if he cannot
get it out of those writer's, he cannot get it
out of anything; and | would assuredly de-
vote very large portion of the time of every
English child to the careful study of the
models of English writing of such varied
and wonderful kind as we possess, and,
what is still more important and still more
neglected, the habit of using that language
with precision and with force and with art,
fancy we are almost the only nation in the
world who seem to think that composition
comes by nature. The French attend to
their own language, the Germans study
theirs; but Englishmen do not seem to think
il worth their while

from place to place without a friend to do

him are also prosecuted by popular indigna-

man lately went from the east and married
the woman from whom he fled in Salt Lake

marrying, it is strange that the man did not
keep right on marrying till he accumulated
