The skies hung heavy the morning of

to celebrating, but Notwithstanding the
oniuous appearances large numbers
gathered on the streets and there was the
usual fusilaGe of fre.crackers resounding
in the air. The parade of the Fire De-

which the rain during the night had
made At the close of the march the

and very excellent and well-timed adj

of the day closed with grand anniyer-

Standing on the summit of Diana S

is the land fertilizer inquired the Post.
In some places it is, but even these
are not cultivated The people are in
dolent, and can live on fish and rice all
the year The whites on the island are
English and the rest of the population is
a mongrel population, including Malays,
Chinese, negroes and East Indian coolies.
The island is plainly of volcanic origin and
every indication goes to show that one
half of the extinct volcano is sunk in the
ocean"
"Of course, Napoleon's tomb is the
main feature on the island?"
Yes, but it has comparatively few
visitors The English steamers only stop
at the island about two hours, and the
tomb is about two hours ride distant, so
that passengers who might wish to see
the tomb cannot leave the vessel. Two or
three times year there is sort of pill
grimage to the tomb This is when the
French transports, returning from New
Caledonia to France, stop at the island
They are old style ships, known as three
deckers, and carrying from 800 TO 1000
people. Their passengers include prison
ers of war, returned convicts. officers,

latter is kept in splendid condition by a

sta,e Teachers, Certificates.

The Springfield Register says Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Raab has
issued the regular annual circular in
reference to state certificates. and an
nounces the time and place for holding
examinations as follows: August 10, 20,
21. and % at Chicago, Dixon, Bushnell,
Gilman, Normal, Springfield, Paris, and
Centralia. A state certificate entities the
holder to teach in any county and school
district of the state without further exam
ination, and is valid for life, or so long as
the personal and professional reputation
of the holder remains untarnished. 1t is
therefore, not only the highest known to
our system of public education. and an
honor to those receiving it, but 1t has also
an important business value to all profes-
sional teachers 1t is the object of the
law under which these examinations are
held, ESPECIALLY to recognize and honor
those experienced and successful teachers
who have given character and dignity to
the profession in this state, and to furnish
to young teachers a proper incentive to
honorable exertion.

Daughter Slavery.

Perhaps the most complete form of sla
very TO be seen in New York is slavery to
daughters All literature has paid hon.
age to woman, but in our age practical
life does it,
The New York wealthy man has a daugh
ter or two. He pays but little attention to
them while they are children but it sud
denly occurs to him that they are growing
beautiful His wife is sure of this fact,
and she begins to dress the girls while
they are still children in all the elegance
of princesses. They are sent to dancing
school, to riding school to the finest sem
mary, and put in the opera bex, allowed
to know what is going on ct all the the
alters, and carried to the watering places,
and before they know anything of their
country they are sent to Europe, where
as my friend, the consul, who has just
arrived, says, he has seen girls not II
years of age provided with wardrObes of
fifteen to thirty silk dresses, with hose of
variegated silk, diamonds in their ears,
and everything that life ought to yield
| toward its termination they are satisfied
with upon the very threshold. With fine
food and wine their compilations become
elegant; they are seldom away from the
| dentists a week having their teeth fixed
The most cosmopolitan society is introduc
ed them and they look down with indif-
ference upon the boys of their own age;
or. if they marry by an act of nature, soon
upbrsid their husbands for not keeping
up the luxury their parents spoiled them
with
A friend who has spent many years in
Europe tells me that the freedom allowed
daughters by American parents is the
establishment and horror of that continent
American girls are known wherever they
appear by their sumptuous attire on the
streets, their delicate shoes, the alteration
paid them by their parents, and they are
brought up beautiful enough and worth
less enough to De at once the temptation
and ruin of any young man who may
take them to his arms.
