All Account of Eliza.
lNew York Times.l


 A few weeks ago a pretty immigrant girl named Eliza Heinz landed at Castle Garden. In day or two she will start for Michigan as the wife of prominent builder of that state, who is worth at least S7s ,ooo. Eliza is 25 years of age, and comes from Hamburg. She was dressed very we'll, and had little money in her purse when she landed at Castle Garden. She had heard rumors that lone immi- grant woman was not safe even in New York, and seeing a benevolent looking gentleman in the Castle Garden landing bureau, she went to him and asked what she had better do in order to obtain a suitable situation.
 The gentleman was much pleased with the girl, and told her that he had merely entered the Garden to cali on his friend, ex-Assemblyman Niglutsch, who is in the registry department, but he believed that he could find her place in the household of friend of his in Westches- ter county. The place was secured for Ekra, who has since received number of calls from the benevolent-looking gen. tleman who- secured the place tor her. The acquaintance resulted in an engage ment, and in a few days the pair will be married. Mir. Niglutsch says that he cannot give the name of his friend at present, but he can vouch for the fact that he has considerable property and stands well in Michigan.

daily papers of this very week in which the Yogk story is printed appears an ac- count Of bright young girl of Brooklyn, who was ambitious to De the head of Der school. Encouraged by fond but silly parents she worked constantly, gained her aim and has just became an intel lectual and physical wreck The other case is that of boy who succeeded in all of his studies but one-Latin; for failing in which both his teachers and father re- proved him. To save further humili- ations to himself and any repetition of his fathers action. he was accustomed to steal out of bed in the dead of night, and apply himself to his Latin until the gray streaks of dawn warned him of the danger of being discovered in his undertaking. As consequence the lads nefvous sys- tenn gave way under the strain, and though he succeeded in his object, it is a sericus question with his doctors whether he will ever be restored to even tolerable health.
 Are not these instances enough to illustr ste the evil of over examining in the public schools; or if they are not enough can they not be supplemented in the ex- perience of any reader2
 Fathers who think first of their money making and mothers who think first of social duties too often neglect the first of all duties-that to their children-ard in this neglect comes the strain of the schools. Every father and ,other should see that their children are not forced to study too hard. Above all they should use their influence to do away with the pernicious habit of study at home. Over- work is the great complaint of Americans. When it comes to having over-worked children the prospect is terrible for the future. We have too many diseases incidental to modern ife," and of these many are traceable directly to the pubic school. They educate the children to death, and instead of demanding more studies or more time for study every man and woman who has a child at school should try to see that the system can be so modified that the poor children shall only need to study not much more than half the time they do now, and that will be alm ost too much for the little ones.

for Jumbo to charge right down on you, still trumpeting and waving his trunk until he comes within about twenty yards, when down goes the trunk, and at the same time, he lowers his head. This is the time to fire, and the only place you have any chance of bringing him down by hitting is a small oval space just above the trunk. This is vital spot, and if you hit this it is sure death to the ele- phant. J. was an old hunter, so he calmly awaited MT. Jumbo's approach. Just at the right moment up went his gun to his shoulder, and 1 awaited breathless1y to see the flash and behold the roque fall. But no flash came, and presently saw J. running backward facing the elephant and evidently feeling in his pocket for something. The explanation was now easy, the internal percussion cap had missed 6rel Luckily he had another, and in moment, just as the elephant was upon him, saw his gun again go up. There was flash, then a report, and down tumbled the huge beast just at J.'s feet in fact, so close was he that he had to jump aside to prevent the body falling on him. There arc few men l know of, and have met few men of nerve in my time, that would have the coolness to run backward in face of charging elephant, remove the old cap and feel in his pocket for new one, and then kill his quarry. l know of nothing more inclined to make one run the first time of trying than to wait on an elephant which is charging, but better spirit comes over you and you shoot without a tremor.

Educated to Death.
Philadelphia News.l

Ten million children are educated in the public schools of the United States at an annual expense of nearly one hundred million dollars.
 In every respect these figures are as- tonishing. They show how liberally the "palladiam of our iberties,n as the Fourth of July orator always calls the school system, is supported, and also that it includes nearly one-6fth of our total population.
 These figures may we'll attract assen- ton, and especially that of parents It is the most natural thing in the world that in such vast system there should be constant emulation and rivalry not only between scholars, but scholars and teachers, to surpass every other school
 In this lies q great danger, that of edu- eating the children to death. The re- cent exposition by the York (Pennsyl- vania) DaiI of the amount crammed by roee into the children in that town is one instance. out of thousandS and no enc can doubt that the dry facts given to the York scholars would produce mental in- digestion in grammsr-school children and tn their abilities too hr.

lSan Francisco Post.1

During the campaign of the First Regiment at Santa Rosa, the pickets found considerable difficulty in prevent ing the men absenting themselves with out leave, circumstance for which the mint-juleps of the town bar-rooms, and the large contingent of pretty Santa Rosa giris-small blame to them-were chiefly accountable.
 One particularly sultry evening, while the sentinels were pacing their beats with their tongues fairly hanging out of their mouths with heat, and wondering whether the pirates in the mess tent would drink every bit of beer before the "relief" came, one of the guards observed a private approaching, who was staggering along under the combined load of much conviviality and an enormous water melon under his arm.

 "Hain't got ne-hic-countersign, :" amiably replied the private; but I'll CT -hic-give yer er-hic-warmelin."
 Pretty soon the officer of the day came around, and said to the sentinel, who was absorbed in munehing a huge piece of watermelon stuck on the end of his bayenet
 "Did Perkins pass you just nowr

A Blaine meeting that was called
in behalf of the workingmen in Jer-
sey City got more than it bargained
for when a horse car conductor arose
and said he was for Cleveland, not in
spite of, but because of, his vetoes.
The fve-cen bill, he said, would have
driven every surface railroad in the
city out of business and thrown all the
men employed on them out Of work.
He didn't think that would help the
workingmen much. AS to the veto
of the twelve-hour law for car con-
ductors and drivers, he said he, like
all conductors and drivers, worked by
the trip, and if the bill had become
a law it would have reduced his earn

Having had twenty-five years OK
perienco in organizing State and pub
lie institutions for this class of per-
sons, / have established new asylum
and school at Kalamazoo, Michigan,
which is now open for the admission
of pupils and inmates.
The school is now in operation and
pupils can be admitted at once.
The establishment is organized upon
the Cottage Plan" There are two
cottages. now, in addition to the main
building, and other cottages will be
added as needed.
Special attention will be paid to the
classification. of pupils, and better
facilities will be offered for individual
instruction than can be given at the
crowded public institutions.
Great care will be exercised in the
selection of pupils.
The property in use is one of the
most delightful places that could be
found, after a search of several months
for desirable location.
Above malarial influences and with
abundance Of fruit and pleasant sur
roundings, the establishment is elegant
in all its arrangements.

or residence of any feoblc-minded
person or child, in the State or coun-
ty, will do favor to them and to the

Protection is a Lie

Mr., Blainc's attention should be
drawn to the prosperity of the Con-
necticut manufacturers, as another
argument in favor of the virtues Of a
high protection. In the eastern part
Of the State the mills arc shutting
down for intervals of rest, ranging
from one to six weeks. The large
Grosvenordale mills stopped this
week, throwing n large number Of
operatives out of work, who must live
by their wits or on aims furnished by
their employers. A day Or two ago
the Windham cotton mandatory
stopped work. The great Ashland
Cotton Company here only recently
compromised with its 400 men and
women, who were on n strike, by an
nouncing that the proposed reduction
in wages after the middle of the
month should not be more than ten
and fifteen per. cent. Many Of the
operatives refused to go to work at
the reduced prices. The wooden and
cotton manufacturers throughout this
part Of the State arc on the eve of
shutting up their factories, in the
hope of getting better figures for their
surplus goods in the fall. For long
time, they assert, they have been run
ming their mills at loss. The cause
of the trouble is over production un-
der the fictitious stimulus of the cx-
cessively inflated protective policy.
Workingmen will draw their own
from this state of affairs.
They will certainly look long before
they find wherein such protection
either protects or benefits them. Pro-
lection is lie.--New Haven Regis

Greenback Convention.

The Greenbackers and Anti-monop-
olists of this city held their mass coun-
ty convention at the Council Room
last Thursday night. About fifty
persons were present including Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.
Andrew Harshaw called the meet
ing to order, and stated the object of
the convention was to elect delegates
to the various conventions and to or
ganize a county committee.
On motion of Thomas Doyle, Mr..
Harshaw was elected chairman.
James Mcnamara was appointed Sec
tary.
Alex. Campbell moved that John
d. Sheahy be appointed delegate to
the State convention, but Thos. Doyle
moved, as an amendment, that Jas.
Mcnamara be the delegate, and the
amendment prevailed.
Several times the namo Of j. d.
Sheahy was presented by Alex. Camp
bell, but Thos. Doyle was always
ready with an amendment, and always
won.
The two other delegates to the State
convention, at Detroit, on the 10Th,
were Leonard Hodgins and VIM.
Henry.
The delegates elected to attend the
Tenth congressional convention are
as follows: Thomas Doyle, Charles
Cook and Henry Kelly.
A county committee was then or
ganized, and is as follows:
First ward-Andrew Harshaw.
Second ward-Alex. Campbell.
Third ward-Jas. Mcnamara.
Alpena-Wm. Pulford.
Maple Ridge-James Shelley.
Long Rapids-Jos. Bryant.
Wilson-M. Clark.
Green-Thos. Mcneil.
Ossineke-D. McKellup.
The Butler platform was read, and
a few remarks made by the chairman
in which he denounced the Democrat
ic party and accused Gov. Cleveland
of being n monopolist, which is not
true, and then he stated he had the nee
essary blanks for organizing a Butler
and West club, and called for signers.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet August 10th, at the same place,
at which time the officers of the club
will be elected and other business
We remained short time after the
adjourned, and up to the
time we left, twenty persons had sign

Cleveland's Statemanship.

papers and official utterances are q
matter Of public record. His official
documents would gil q good-sized vol
ume and in point of ability and States
manship surpass anything that has
emanatcd from Republican Presidents
since the close of the civil war. The
attempts to belittle him, if made by
all the Blaine papers of the country
from now to the November election,
cannot change half a dozen votes in

likely to direct the attention even Of
