Easy Lessons in Journalism.


The Cornell ReUie,r prints an article full
Of practical suggestions on newspaper
work, and if central New York does not
turn out big crop of journalists it will
not be the fault of the ReUictC. No Young
man with very ''fastidiOus taste,v or of
a 'bashful, retiring and timid dispOsi-
uon,' is considered by the writer to be fit
for journalism, which alleged fact will
hardly tend to lessen the number of news
paper candidates from Cornell and MANY
other colleges. A reporter is pictured i'm
the act of doing an accident and of even
helping the surgeon while he amputates a
limb. 4 column account is made up bv
the reporter, but from a press of news
matter it is ''bOiled down. to the follow
ing, which is given-and very wisely too
AS model of condensation:
James johnson, a man employed at the
planning mill of Brown & Robinson, No 63 Wa
ter street, was accidentally thrown against
a buZZsa while at work yesterday after
noon, and had his left arm so injured that 1t
was found necessary to amputate it near the
shoulder. johnson is married, and has a wife
and five children living at No. l34 West Fourth
street. He Will recover.
The most casual reader could not run
over the above and not catch his trousers
on IFS many points of excellence. In order
to settle the matter of sex, made doubtful
by the Christian name James," the Wri-
ter cleyerly adds, "a man." If space had
allowed he could well and elOquently have
SAID in brackets, she is a man." After
johnson had been ''thrown against buzz
saw while at work." further Justice is
done him and his sex by the statement
that he lis married and has a wife and
hve children In order to have brought
out the antagOnism between the two parts
of this sentence more fully, it might have
been well to say, Although johnson is

AN IDYL.

| saw her first on a day in spring,
BY the side OF a stream as | fshed along
And lOitered to hear the robins sing,
And guessed at the secret they told in song.
Inc apple blossoms so white and red,
we're mirrored beneath in the streamlets
flow;
Ana the sky was blue far overhead,
And far in the depths of the brook below.
| lay half hid by a mossv stone
And looked in the water for flower and sky.
| heard a step-I was not alone;
And the vision Of loveliness met my eye.
I saw her come to the other side,
And the apple blossoms were not more fair;
She stopped to gaze in the sunlit tide
And her ewes met mine In the water there.
She stopped in timid and mute surprise,
And that look might have lasted till now,
Ween:
But modestly dropping her dOve-like eyes,
She turned her away to the meadow green.
l stood in wonder and rapture lost
At her slender form and her step so free,
At her raven locks by the breezes tossed
As she kicked up her heels III the air for
glee.
The apple blossoms are withered now.
But the sky, and the meadow and stream
are there;
And whenever wander that way l vow
That some day I'll buy me that little black
mare.

How the American SpirituaIist Was
Chased Out of the Palace in Vienna.
The Crown Prince Rudolph's detection
of the American spiritualist Bastian. saws
the Herald Vienna cable dispatch of the
10th, continues to be a sensation here, and
Bastian has been expelled from Vienna
Baron Hellenberg, the recognized head of
all Austrian spiritualists, who was
present at the seance in the Archduke
Johann's palace, to-day made to your cor
respondent the following statement
"OrthOdOX spirituaIism is in no way i'm
paired by the unmasking of Bastian
Although formerly endowed with the true
spiritualistic power. he lately lost it, and
has made up the deficiency by resort to
tricks"
When the Crown Prince caught Bastian
he was gliding about in the dark with his
shoes off. When the room was lighted the
Crown Prince says he saw Bastian con-
zeal something i'm his clothes. Bastian at
once ran out of the room and in his stock
ing feet escaped from the Archduke 10
hann's palace into the street, leaving his
shoes behind him. Archdukes Johann
and Rainier, Prince Batthyany and other
distinguished guests chased him through
the corridors Of the palace into the street
at the front door.

$4,000 FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Sustained by the Court.

4 win Drawn Up by Wendell Phillips
Sustained by the Court.
Gen. Butler appeared before the Supreme
Judicial Court yesterday afternoon, says
the Boston Globe of the 18th inst, as
counsel for the respondent in the case of
jerome A. Bacon VS.. Chandler r. Ran
som, executor of the Will OfMrs. Eliza f.
Eddy. Robert NJ. Morse. Jr., represented
the complainant. The case is an interest
ing one. Mrs. Eddy by her will left the
residue of her estate, after certain lega-
cies had been paid, to Susan b. Anthony
and Lucy Stone, wife of II. r. Blackwell
requesting them to use the same, which
will amount to about $4,000, in further
ing the cause of wOman's rights. The
complainant in the case is the sOn-in-law
OF Mis-. Eddy. and he contends that the
money was left in trust to Susan Il.
Anthony and Lucy Stone to be used for a
certain purpose. and further that as
trust it is Illegal The complainant re-
lied upon the case of jackson vs.. Phillips
to support their position. In that case
Mr.. jackson, who was the father of Mrs
Eddy, Lett certain amount in trust to
Wendell Phillips, Susan b. Anthony, and
Lucy Stone, to be used in the cause of
woman suffrage, and the will also stated
that no individual or court was to inter-
tere in any way with said trust. The re-
spondent raised general demurrer to the
bill of the complainant, which demurrer
was sustained by the court, who ruled
that the money was left absolutely TO Su-
san b. Anthony and Lucy Stone, and that.
though they might be morally bound to
heed the request of Mrs. Eddy, they were
not legally obliged to do so, inasmuch as
the money was not left to them in trust.
The will in question was drawn up by
Wendell Phillips.
The complainant will appeal the case
to the full bench.

ny Travelled on the Rhine.

The death is announced from Florence
OF Gianbattista Guiana, one of the great
Dante scholars of Italy-Or Dantists, as
the Dante scholars love to call themselves.
This denomination has led to many an alb
Surd qHid pro quo, especially when prin-
tiers have substituted an for the q. Such
a qUid pro quO forms the theme of an eX-
cellent anecdote regarding the late King
of SaXony, himself a Dantiste, who wrote
on the great FlOrentine and translated his
works into German under pseudOnym.
The King loved the incOgnitO in any
shape, and often Travelled thus with the
Queen. Once when on board a Rhine
steamer as simple passengers, they over
heard a knot of civilians discussing some
literary theme. The King joined the cir
Gle. and entered into the debate, display
ing rich and varied literary knowledge.
After some time he went away, and du-
ring his absence one of the party adj
dressed the Queen with query as to who
her husband was, for surely he must be a
man of literary note. 'ltis my husband"
said the Queen, replying in French, "and
my husband is the first Dantist in Germa-
N.Y. There was almost Il scandal among
the little circle at the thought that they
should have talked so long and familiarity
with dentist, for Of the party We're some
petty German mobiles, who are snObs of the
first water. The Queen noticed this change
of front with some amusement, and when
the King reiOined her she whispered some
thing into his ear, at which he nodded
and spoke no more. Soon after the steam
er stopped at a little station. Three or
four personages in full gala costumes
stepped on board. went up to their majes-
ties, bowed humbly, and craved that they
would halt to see the celebrities of their
town. Renewed surprise among the cir
Gle of disputants. one of them, French
man, approached one Of the dignitaries

and asked, pointing to the King:

The Origin of Dartmouth College

manhattan Ndgdsine for March.
But little reference has been made so
far to the history and circumstances of
the foundation of Dartmouth College. 1t
was born of a mixture of religious en-
thusiasm and beneVOlence, which in these
irreverent days seems almost incOmpre-
hensible. To be a clergyman then was a
very different thing from now. Every
other man who received a liberal edk1ca-
ton either became a lawyer or entered
the ministry. The good and benevolent
DR.. EleaZer WheelOck, a graduate
Of Yale, was the preacher in the
small town of Lebanon, Conn. In
BILE heart he thought it possible to train.
instruct and Christianize the young In
dians, SO that when they reached man.
hood they might find more profitable Oc-
equations than scalping and rum drink
ing. Many other men besides DR.. Whee-
lock have tried the experiment in other
parts of the world without success. The
Maori, the Australian aboriginal. the In
dian refuses to be civilized. Occasion
ally there are exceptions, yet failure is
almost fOreg0ne conclusion. But Flea
ger Wheelock was overlooking with piety
and earnestness and was determined to
carry out his idea. He kept
boys school. One of his pupils was
an Indian named Samson Occum, who
afterward became an effective preacher.
He was WheelOck's prize scholar. 1t does
not appear that any other Indian did spe.
cial credit to this kind and generous in
structor. 1t is curious fact that Har-
ward was established with the same OBJ
ject as was Dartmouth, ''the education of
English and Indian youth of this country
in knowledge and Goodness" OF the
several natives who were members of the
Harvard Indian College, only one grad
uated. Occum was a success, and Whee-
lock felt encouraged. Wheelock was a
prolific and lOng-winded letter
writer even for those days. r.
reverent and unthinking people
in this age would have styled HIM a
crank. Some people got interested in the
educational enterprise. A regular school
was established, untilIn 1761 it had eleven
pupils. More money was wanted and OBJ
tanned, as well as various gifts, including
two acres Of land and a bell weighing
eighty pounds for the use of the school,
from gentleman in London. Additional
funds were required The Indian, Occum,
went to England and created a sensation
he preached so effectually that George
the Third subscribed f200 and the Earl of
Dartmouth $50. About 100000 was
raised in all.
