silver birch and grey pine, across the rushing
Saco to Conway, quiet village in the hill.
Thence to Chocarrua, first of the mountains
proper, whore the touching legend was told of
the chieftain who gave it its name. An ex-

applause, as did also sombre moonlight pic

Mount Washington was approached by the
Eastern railway, through the Notch, each
view awakening quick remembrance In the
responsive audience. Thence to Mt Lafayette

Mountain, whose stern profile was exquisitely

Jefferson and Starr King mountains the way
led to the Connecticut valley and Goodrich
Falls, and to Tuckerman's ravine and the
Crystal cascade to the Glen House, with its
exquisite views of Mt Washington, which
were beautifully shown with yelling cloud

The journey drew to a close upon the crest
of the lofty Washington in Winter time, with
some marvellous pictures OF dark night clouds
upon the canvas, and peroration as beautiful
as the pictures from the talented authors.
The last lecture of the course will be given
this evening, on "Italy-Three Cities.'

noon, from New York, number of the friends
of Mr.. John F. Ames, the popular agent, lin

The property OF the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses. six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls ZOO
600 acres of land, houses corras and other build
ings necessary to conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising Of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west u.s. and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame Of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World Of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings Of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and persevering efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves concusivey that investment
made in the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not fa
milisr with the resources OF the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon, will at commend this class
of investment to anyone who will take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States, and more particularly Texas
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per eentage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experiences renders
them familiar with all details and eminently t-
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.

Teachers, Meeting.

AT the teachers monthly meeting, Monday
evening the following questions will be dis
cussed:
/. If pupils perform operations in matbe-
mates by methods different from those pre-
scribed by the textbook used or by the teach
or, and obtain correct results, how do you deal
with the pupils?
2. There is a popular opinion that the work
of our schools impairs the health Iof the pupils.
Our methods are called the "high pressure
system" How far does the experience of your
school confirm this view?
3. Do exercises in music and drawing de.
tract too much from the time that should be
devoted to other branches? Do their results
justify the work?
4. The intention of the prescribed work in
natural science for the lower schools is to coun-
teract the fconfining influence of school rou-
tine by giving pupils chance to think and
talk about what they can perceive directly.
Such work is based upon actual observation,
not upon merely meme rizing words or defini-
tions. Is this part of the programme success
full? Make any suggestions pertaining to it.
8. Which influence actuates more promi-
neDtly the efforts of the teachers in your
school, the preparations for examination or the
development Of the scholar as an end? Which
do the examinations as now conducted en-
courage?
6. What features of the school system in
this city according to the experience of your
school should receive consideration with a
view to remedy

them from the list. The periodicals. Mr.. Wat.

late; their golden opportunity
If 1t ever existed was gone, taking
with it all chance of redemption.
So it is with the young man who
permits the hope of immediate gain
without reference to the means en-
ployed, to possess mis- soul; at first
he does not understand his position !;
later, he does not care; he fails to
elevate himself, to equalize unequal
conditions. aad soon goes to destruc-

MILK.

The New York Mail and ErpreSS
has made the discovery that good
milk is the most refreshing drink
for excessively hot weather. This
admirable conclusion suggests the
query as to why the best milk is not
sold by the glass at a cheap price at
many places throughout our city.
An experiment has been tried in
Boston this, season in the sale of
excellent milk at Sc. glass, and
with very successful results. The
paper quoted from says the most
jealous searcher for good milk can
not find more than a half-dozen
places in New York where fair
quality of the tactical fluid is dis
pensed, and not one where anything
equal to the best milk found
in the country can be had. 1t
would be profitable to establish
milk counters where milk, cream
and buttermilk of the first quality
can be had by the glass, the price of
the first and last beverages to be
three cents a glass, and that Of the
cream not more than six or eight
cents. 1t is, however, little sing
ular that sudden deaths from the
use of milk Immediately after eat
ing are very common. Nelson, the
actress, died from this cause; the
of d rifle club in New York
some months ago went hence
through milk after a meal; and
President Arthur not long since
had TO resort to a stomach pump to
save his lie because he drank milk
after partaking freely of soft-shell
crabs. 1t is enough to make one
believe that the only absolutely
safe people are those who eat aud
drink nothing at ali.

people, ever received in genuine
good faith by the othersP Over
lures have been treated as imbecil-
ity; protestations of friendship, as
hypocrisy; and actual steps toward
bridging the chssm, with contempt.
And still the cry goes forth that the
majority are irrecOncilable and
must be reduced to subsection by
physical force.
It would seem to be q useless task,
if the voice of the struggling band
of malcontents and that Of their
moutbpiece were regarded as con-
elusive, to further attempt settle
ment by peaceful means; those
who thoroughly consider the case
would, Under such circumstances,
cay that there was nothing lett
US but war-war to the knife.
But sucr utteranceS are not con-
elusive because not true; they are
simply the spasmodic efforts of a
cabal to keep themselves promin-
emily before the country by means
of irritation. All that there is of
the strife is purely superficial,
willie beneath it all throbs the great
human heart as impulsively and
as thougi everything
without were acting in concert with
itself. The agi.ators may not see

justice and human rights see it, but
they will some day.
