ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. lit is the
general impression here that the Nave case
will end In victory for Mrs. Nave, az
Abram Nave has no sufficient ground for
his suit. The lawyers accordingly are
working to bring about an smicable separ.
alton. The proposal is that the uncon.
genial couple agree to live apart, that all
legal proceedings be withdrawn and that
the husband settle an annuity Oh the wife,
payments to be made monthly. The only
obstacle to this arrangement seems to be .
difference a. to the amount Mrs. Nave
shall receive.

From the first outbreak of cholera in
Naples there has been what in this
country would be called a revival of re-
igion. The churches have been thronged
and prayers have been made ~incessant-
ly. When the scourge subsidies, as it
will in due time, many will congratulate
themselves that it was in response to
their prayers, rather than to natural
causes-and herein lies the danger of
a renewal of cholera or other fatal dis
eases. Prayers are useful and becom-
ing mortal men and women, but should
be preceded and supplemented by clean
illness.

The "trade issue" ofthe Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution for 1884 made its appear
ance On October LIST, and consisted of
forty-four pages of six columns each.
The publishers claim that it is the larg-
est newspaper aver printed in the
United States, and that its edition of
81, 900 is the largest wei printed in
Georgia. One of the principal features
of the number is an historical review of
the growth of Atlanta's trade and popu-
lation, in which it is set forth that the
city already has 56, 900 inhabitants, and
is destined soon to have 100, 600. Man
ufactures have multiplied, commerce
has increased, and new railroads have
given the city closer communication
with rich fields OF coal and iron.

yr(rds wiohout tapping the precious hu-

on "A far smaller scale. When the oper-
atorA had pierced to a depth of 176 feet
without finding water, they called IN
the advice of some experienced artesin-
well engineers, who recommended the
abandonment of the works, and the
commencement of a fresh bore upon q
site Which they selected 2OOyards away,
AT a depth of only ia feet a coplous
supplk of water was found, yielding IN
fact, between 5000 and 5000 gallons per
hour. It is remarkable that the sites
Of both bores were at the same level

The South American commission called on

things, Gen. Grant said he believed that the
best way to promote trade with Central South
America would be to reorgsnize our consular
system. His suggestion was that in every one
of the southern ports, there should be a con-
sular agent appointed by the president who
should perform the duties nov discharged by
~consuls, and be allowed to engage in trade, to
act as the agent of American merchants and
manufacturers and introduce their goods. An
other measure of great Importance was to sub
sidize steamship lines until a should
be built up that could sustain them.

The modern newspaper faulty as it
may be, yet to some extent and in some
directions, supplies a lea of popular
education aud historical training SUI
perior to all that have heretofore been
given to mankind. All the elements
of a liberal education are placed by it
within the reach of people who, two
generations ago, would have grown up
in comparative ignorance. The power
to think, In other words to assimilate
the vast fund of knowledge placed be-
fore the reader, it is not the province
of either book or newspaper to supply.
But the knowledge is there, and is fur

profit thereby can blame nobody but
himself if he is not intelligent and fair

England has a large body of alarmists
who r almost as much worried over
her navy as we are over ours. They
claim it has sadly ~degenerated in fight
ing strength and fear that England's SUI
premacy of the sea is a thing of the
past. 1t is doubtless a fact that the
British navy is no longer able to fight
the combined fleets of the world, for
within a few years, Italy, Germany,
Russia and ven such outlying powers
as Chill, Japan and China have pro-
vided themselves with formidable ships
of war, while France, England's heredl-
tary foe at sea as well as ON land, has
recently increased her naval force inn
