the same instruction was trying to
unravel the mysteries of the verbs

which they did it would put to shame
many a man who calls himself edu-
Gated.
TO say that Mr.. Hodges and Miss
Boyers are unusually successful
would be saying nothing new. cit
is in every body's mouth" The High
School was never in a more flourish
ing condition, perhaps never equal to
its standing to-day. In addition to
his work in the High School, Mr..
Hodges has general supervision Of all
the other grades, and we doubt if a
better First Assistant than Miss
Boyers can be found anywhere.
Every teacher in the institution
seems to be peculiarly fitted for her
own peculiar work. We spent sew
eral hours in the various departments
and saw nothing like disorder any
where and heard but single gentle
reprimand, and this was in one OF
the primary grades.
The rooms were we'll ventilated
from the top, the floors were clean
and 40 were the children. All the
teachers seemed to have the respect
and warm attachment of their pupils
and we did not observe a sulky, sui
len face in the entire school. Two
Of the rooms, viz: Divisions B and
C, are somewhat crowded but in
spite Of this are doing excellent work.
The mornings exercises are opened
with devotional services, at which the
whole school is expected to be pres
ent. Miss Boyers presides at the or
gan and after these exercises are fin
ished each grade goes to its own room

Blood = Strong Tie.

What the Americans think of the
lord mayors show we have never seen
stated by them, and foreigners say
nothing, because foreigners never OBJ
serve anything when they are in Eng
land. Ii they depict Englishmen on the
continent with a Murray or Bradshaw
under the arm, with eyes staring in all
directions, and mouths wide open with
wonder, they. pay us . compliment
which it is impossible to return, for
nothing is more vexing than to see
them in London, where at every step
they must, at least, see novelties to
them, passing on duly unobservant.
We have said Americans and foreign
ers, for We do not count the former
with the latter. So long rs Messrs.
Brown, Jones and Robinson are equally
natives of Great Britain, and Smiths are
in their millions on both sides Of the
Atlantic, how is it possible to make the
d~istinctione We are told, Of late. that
We are paying too much attention to
Americans and making too much Of
them. Are they not intelligent, and
anxious and determined ~progressorsp
Do they not give to England fdll I'd.

Report of Senator Harrison on
the Bill to Admit South
Dakota.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Harrison to-day submitted his report
on the bill to admit Southern Dak-
ota and provide for the organization
OF the Territory of Lincoln. The re-
port says if Dakota is divided on the
forty-sixth parallel as proposed by
the bill, the State of Dakota would
contain about 1900 square miles.
The proposed State would be the
eighth State in area; California
Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Nevada
Oregon, and Texas having the largest
area. The proposed State would be
twice as large as Indiana, 10000
square miles larger than Illinois, 49,
600 square miles larger than Arkan-
sas, 5000 square miles larger than
Missouri, and more than 10000
square miles larger than the six New
England States combined. The re-
port continues: IF the present Ter
ritory of Dakota is not divided, but
admitted as one state, only the states
of California and Texas would ex-
coed it in area. Indeed, if the area
of cultivable land only is consider
ed, the state of Texas alone would
rank before it. 1t would seem, then,
that we have within the limits Of
the proposed State Of Dakota a re-
markable ares for q populous and
prosperous State"
The report discusses the remarka-
BILE adaptation Of Dakota to sustain
a large agricultural population, and
its excellent railroad facilities for
travel and commerce. The commit
tee assert their belief that the gener-
al sentiment Of the people of Dako-
to is in favor Of division. Large del
cgations Of leading men from both
sections appeared before the COM
mittee, and, without . dissenting
voice, urged division.

Worsting Henry Wattersoth.

In n Of the boxes at Macauley's
Theater the other night sat Henry Wat.
terson and his wife and daughter. Mr..
Watterson is a nan of distinguished
ability, and as the editor of The Couri-
e~r-Journal is widely known beyond the
border Of his state and section. Phys
ically he is not attractive, his legs are
short and his body long and fat; he has
a large head, one leaping, restless
light-blue eye, light brown hair that
grows in the greatest p~rofusion all
ove his head, and which, in front, falls
owe a massive forehead, which is tho
most attractive feature of the man.
Mr.. Watterson's success as an editor is
due to great natural ability, and to q
style based on and growing but of .
profound knowledge of English litera-
ture. acquired by years of careful study
and exhaustive reading. Mr.. Waiter
son is also a very fine linguist, and 80
fine are his ear and touch in respect to
music that he has been called"a blonde
edition of Blind Tom" He has no no
litical opponents here worthy of his
steel. In former days Mr.. Kelly, then
as now editor OF The Louisville Coss-
THc'Csuss uSCo W SlosS uiducS VIII uiW
occasionally, but only once did Kelly
come of with his colors flying. 1t hap
pened in this way: For some days
Watterson and Kelly had been hammer
ing away, discussing some political
question, which finally lost its political
and ass.med a personal aspect. In re,
ply to a sharp criticism of Kelly, Wat
terson minated that If it we're NOT for
his scarcity of eycsight he would like
to take a shot at Mr.. Kelly. but that
this was an insuperable obstacle, ~ ho
felt confident that he could not hit q
barn-door, much less Mr.. Kelly. Kelly
retorted by saying that Mr.. Watterson
had on several occasions invited him to
have q shot, but always fastened to
add that he could 0 see, and that,
although he might be placed most I'd.
vantageously and furnished with .
crack pistol, still he felt that he could
not hit anything.
Now" said Mr.. Kelly, x do not
know what to do with Nj. Watterson.
He wants to fight, and yet he can not
fight on account OF physical disabili.
ties. l desire to state that I will not
fight Mr.. Watterson, but some evening
after the theater, if Mr.. Watterson will
kindly remain in his lanctum, / will
drop in and spank him and thus settle
oil old scores"
This put the laugh on Mr.. Watterson
and ended the discussion for the time.

efn part Of the territory said they
did not care whether this division
was brought about by the admission
of the southern part as a state, or by
constituting two territories, but d.
vision they insisted upon as essen
tial TO the best interests of all the
people. Resolutions of both polite
al parties in favor of division were
given in the report. Reference was
made to the fact that certain people
from Bismarck wanted the matter
left to the people, or to a vote of a
constitutional convention for the
whole territory, but the committee
do not believe that congress should
surrender its control over this ques-
ton, and express the belief that the
Legislation proposed is in the line of
the wishes of the people of the terri
tory. 1t is their opinion that a
proposition to call a constitutional
convention with the view of admit
ting the whole territory as a state
would be overwhelmingly defeated
by the people. The report says it
would be unfair to Judge the present
population of the territory. by the
census of 1880. The influx of pop
ulation since that time has been un-
precedented. BY that census the
whole territory had a population of
1917. The total number of home
stead entries up to hat time was
29,704. On the 3lst day of Deem
Der it was 1880, an increase of 49,
O96. There were Jan. LIST, 1884, 765 !
post-offices in the territory, an in.
crease since Jan. /, 1880, of 452.
There are v thirty national banks
M the territory and a large number
of private banks. There are 100
newspapers. 1t has outgrown its
present form Of government. Its
judicial system is inadequate. Two.
thirds of the population are located
south of the 46th parallel. The
present population Of the territory
numbers fully $4,000. The bill is
60 framed that no political consider
atoms affecting the next presiden-
tial election are involved, as the
state cannot be admitted until after
the election.
