TOO MUCH EDUCATION.

"A Boston miss of fourteen
died the other day of too
much study and brain work,
and the doctor was smart
enough to know what had
killed her, and fearless
enough to place it on record.
This little girl, who was in
the grammar school, under
the head of 6 language had
to go through oral and written
exercises, study of compound
and complex sentences, read
ing from textbook and
original compositions, recita-
tons, writing, etc. In the
mathematical department she
studied powers of numbers,
square root and its common
applications, mensuration of
the triangle, parallelogram,
trapezoid and circle; of the
prism, pyramid, cylinder,
cone and sphere; book
keeping, etc. Then she had to
study history, form of govern
ment, geometric problems,
model and object drawing,
music and several other mat
tiers. And yet Boston is
proud of her public school
system, and shuts her eyes
to the fact that there is too
much Of it.-Erchange.

wholesale civilization.
| own, however, that to
my mregenerate reason the
pleasant picture of primitive
days and pastoral ways, and
the blissful innocence of ig-
norance originally abiding
with the jewellers in this
strange mid-ocem paradise,
is far more interesting than
that of the hard fate of the
shop-girl, the factory-hand,
the oflice-clerk or the house
hold-servant, and the know
ledge of evil and experience
of suffering incident to daily
existence under higher con-
ventional conditions and [
am reminded of the lowly,
contented Indian cottager of
of Saint Pierre, whose life
moved on away from the ex-
elements, temptations and
vicissitudes of the motley
world, its course a blessing
to himself, it's close a bene-
diction on mankind. The
thought, like Banquo's spirit,
will not down, whether the
gentle Sandwich Islander
would to-day have been any
the worse off if his islands
had stayed undiscovered and
their inhabitants mmeddled
with altogether. And who
can tell, indeed?

Work of the Womens National In
dian Association.


The Woman's National Indian Association
for the first four years OF its existence devoted
itself wholly to the work Of arousing aud deep
ening public sentiment with regard to the an
fulfilled obligations Of the government and ma
tion to our IDdiAn tribes. Mass meetings were
held. leaflets aud pamphlets circulated and
popular petitions semitic the government ask
ing proper legislation for the Indians. The
Association has pursued this work steadily
during this its fifth year, and in answer to de-
mands from its workers has adopted another
department of effort, viz; preparatory mission
ary work in one or more Of the sixty-sight
tribes within our limits having no other mis-
sionary help. The Interior Department has
granted free rent for tho Association miasinna A.
ries; and lts work may go on with given
tribe TIL some purely missionary society is
ready to take the station. This work consists
in teaching the children to read, write, sew
cook, and above all in the simplest way re-
deeming Christian truth. Daring May OF this
year Two missionaries went TO Indian Terrific
ry. Two stations were established, Miss How
ard taking up work among the Poncas and
Mrs. McGlasten among the OIoes, the Paw
nees being left for the Home Missionary Soci-
ETY.. Miss Howard writes that the work se-
lected is that most OF all needed. The women
are very degraded and shy, and often it is hard
to get an interpreter, so that ii Is difficult to
convey any bat general ideas. Mrs. McGlas-
ten says the Otoe women are good looking,
bright and intelligent. They are kind to each
other except when one is thought to be near
death. She is then left to her fate Some Of
them sew we'll already, and those who live in
houses learned all they know of civilization
while at school In Nebraska. She speaks Of
visiting sick woman deserted by her friends
She fixed her suitable food, and spoke Of the
md bad TO- - e1.~w -
ing the truth.
Thus the hearts OF Indian women are being
won, and the white mans religion made at
tractive, bringing them gospel for both soul
aud body, and preparing the way for those who
shall go and labor permanently among them
The box sent by our Auxiliary Society was
very welcome, and q full r4port with reference
to it will soon be published.

Votes.
Special Dispatch to the Boston journal.

Special Dispatch to the Boston Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The supporter of the
Presidential Candidate who declares that there
will be war unless the man of his choice shall
be seated is laughed at. The people who have
once in this decade determined in case of
close election that it was better to decide the
claim TO the Presidency by lot than battle are
not likely to tolerate in 1884, that which they
barely escaped in 1876. But the present situ4-
tion has suggested 10 the few congressman
who are here and to the conservative men of
botd parties the very great and urgent necessi-
ty of providing some means for the settlement
of presidential contests. One of che rumors
of the week has been that, whatever the re-
suit of the canvass iu New York on Tuesday,
two sets of certificates for electors from New
York mag be sent to Washington, one signed
by the Democra ic members of the State
Board OF Canvassers, and the other by Gen.
Carr, the Republican Secretary of State, and
that by this means the dispute as to the New
York vote may be transferred to Washington.
It is not known here whether there is any
basis fer such suggestion. If duplicate returns
as to thirty-six electors should come to Wash
ingtoD, the attention OF the country will again
be very sharply called to the lack of provision
for the settlement Of Presidential contests.
The lesson Of 1876 has not been heeded and
the fault is with the immediate Representa-
tives of the people, and not with the Senate.
More than once since the stormy days of 1876
has the Senate sent to the House a bill pro-
viding for a safe settlement of all controversies
about the electoral count
The bill thus sent has either been ignored or
opposed By tho House. 1t is undoubtedly fair
to assume that the bill which passed the
Senate was q just bill, for it received the sup
port of Democrats and Republicans alike,
Senator Garland of Arkansas giving it
as hearty support as Senator Edmunds
| of Vermont or Hoar of Massachusetts,
and it passed tho upper house without a word
OF debate, except that the very earnest sugges-
| tion was made to the popular branch that tbe
| subject was one of sach tremendous gravity
| that iG onght tn receive immediate attention
| 1t did not receive it. There are pending liz
| Congress two bills, the adoption Of either OF
which would provide for safe and ORDERLY
method of procedure for the electoral count

Old Zach and the Elephant.

A good story of the late Senator Zach
Chandler comes to mind, which has not
heretofore appeared in print, and which
seems to be quite apropos at this time. 1t
will be remembered that shortly after he bad
sent his celebrated dispatch, stating that
Hayes had 105 electoral votes and was elect
ed, Harper's Weekly published a cartoon
representing the Michigan senator as Co
lossus standing over deep chasm with each
foot resting upon rock, and holding in his
hands an elephant LABELED "The Republican
Party" which he had grasped firmly by the
tail. Underneath was the inquiry, "What
will he do with it?"
few days after the publication OF this
cartoon, Mr.. Chandler called upon Presi-
dent Grant with friend upon a matter Of
official business, and, as he was going out,
Gen. Grant called him back and sBid: "By
the way, Chandler, what are you going to
do with that elephant?"

Distress in ENGLAND.

(London Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser }
An intrinsically more important matter than
this franchise question is the terrible industri-
al depression and consequent suffering. An
open air meeting, to be held to-day in London,
reminds US of the Stafordshire colliers who
are resisting the reduction in their miserably
small wages imposed by the Earl of Dudley's
agents. In Ireland the discomfort Of the la
borers is waxen louder and louder; and the
price OF wheat being 80 loY, the farmers can
not give any high wages. But the shFst
trade is in the worst plight. At Newca
am informed, the pawn shops are so full. -
no more articles can be stored in them. Al
Barrows large numbers are out OF work. But
the distress has culminatad in Sunderland,
where at least $1,000 people are without any
means Of subsistence; 1000 men having lost
work in the shipyards alone. 1t is always not
ed in times of distress that the last thing
woman will pawn 10 her wedding ring. At
Sunderland one leading pawn broker has tax

5000 watches.

be no immediate remedy.
The so-cAlled fair traders OF course are try
ing to make some capital out of the State OF
things, and the commercial jingoes want to
seize hold OF any new territory they can grab
for new markets. But this will not do: 1t il
qaackery Evidently the social pI Ionlem must
be taken up when the present mere machinery
OF politics is got rid of. And most thoughtful
people are coming to the conclusion that radi-
cal laud law reform whereby the people can
get back to the soil from the congested Gen.
tres OF population is the supremely needful
thing. Therefore directly the franchise ques.
tion is settled, we may expect to sse a very
vigorous land agitation.

THE NATIONS REVENUE.
Annual Rep0rs of fhe Comrnissioner of
EHternal Revenue.

Annual Rep0rs of the Comnsissioner Of
EHternal Revenue.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 9.-The annual report
OF the commissioner of internal revenue for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1884, has been
submitted to the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The total receipts from all sources OF internal
revenue taxation for the year were $121, $780,
039, as compared with Si44 ,5ss 344 for 1883,
STAG, ,b23, ,773 for 1882 and $13S 229 912 for 1881
1t is estimated that the sum OF $1l6 600 600
will be collected during the present fiscal
year. The payment Of the tax on the large
production OF spirits in 1881 was material
factor in the collections during the past year.
The commissioner says that the falling off an
ticipated during the present year will follow
from the diminished quantity of Bourbon and
rye ~hiskies produced in 1882 ,on which the tax
will mature during the current fiscal year
Another cause contributing to the reduction of
receipts will be the largely increased exporta-
tioa abroad Of spirits in bond, on which, for
various reasons, the owners cannot pay the
tax. Something like ten million gallons have
already been forced abroad during the current
calendar year because of stagnation in trade
and the refusal of Congress to extend the
bonded period
A comparative statement OF the receipts for
the fiscal year 1883 and 1884 shows decrease
Of SIG ,O4l $50 from tobacco, an increase of
$Z63o ,6lU from spirits, an increase OF 1,18x,-
33S from fermented liquors, and decrease of
$l0.642, ,AO4 from taxes under repealed laws and
penalties; making total decrease OF S22, 1868,
305. The largest collection in any one district
was made in the fifth Illinois DISTRICT $13, ,036,-
355, and the smallest in the second North Gar
oina district, $1192. There are four States
namely. Illinois, Kentucky, New York and
Ohio-in which the collections were over 3d.
100000. The total cost OF collections for the
year, including the salaries OF officers clerks,
and employees in tie office of commissioner of
internal revenue (296, ,421) was So, LOG, ,450, as
COMPARED with total cost of collection for
1883 OF 10, Joe, ,957. The total expenses were
little less than I5 per cent. of the amount
collected. One thousand and forty y-ive viola
tions of the internal revenue Law were report
cd BY agents during the year, and 413 persons
were arrested on their information, property
to the value Of So, ,531 was reported by them
for seizures, and for assessments for unpaid
taxes and penalties the sum of $103 662 was
reported by them. The amount expended for
detecting and bringing 10 trial and punish
ment persons guilty OF violating internal rev.
enue laws was $57 1887. During the year 377
stills were seized and 902 persons arrested for
engaging in Illicit distillation.
