The bureau of education is preparing report
on art and industry in the schools, colleges and
institutions of public training 1t is replete with
practical knowledge which forms basis for these
studies in the public schools. The work has been
in preparation since 1874, and also some parts Of
it lave been published The major portion OF It's
contents is new, and has been collected and
edited with considerable trouble and care. Much
delay has been experienced in securing its publ
cation, owing to the insufficiency of approprla-
tions or their in other branches Of the interior
department, under which the bureau OF education
is placed. The fundamental idea OF the work Is
that the universal teaching in all public schools OF
the elements of industrial drawing is an essential
part of any general system Of public seducatl0n;
The work contains areport Of the system followed
in English institutions, and in those of other
countries relating to technical instruction, and
history of the progress of the industrial and fine
arts There are several original papers in the
work dealing with the advance of this science and
its probable effect is explained by text book for
school uses. The matter of the report, however,
is not confined to art alone, but includes consld-
GRAFTON of the instruction OF agricultural colleges,
and traces the relation of such studies to art cul-
ture. The report will be ready within three
months.

In Parts Unknown.

BowDo1NHAM, Nov. 21.-Bowdonham is dis
turbed by the disappearance of Lowell M. Blanch-
ard. an unmarried farmer of Bowdoin, aged about
So. Mr. Blanchard has by borrowing money and
otherwise become indebted to the citizens OF this
town and Bowdoin to the extent of from $500 to
$1,000. Two items aggregate 5000, and there IS
nothing for any one The affair was
evidently prearranged, and every one is surprised
at the amount of his Indebtedness. Blanchard
would, by WILL have come into possession OF a
farm had he continued to support his mother, and
it was upon the strength of that that he was
allowed to get in debt to such an extent.

whom the leaders looked for leadership;
upon whom partisans built their hopes
OF victory, to whom personal friends
by tens ofthousands offered their devotion.
1t was according to the weakness and
strength OF human nature, that counter
movements should insure that Gen. Grants
primacy should be challenged. that his
party should be resisted; that his devoted
friends should be confronted by Jealous
men in his own ranks, and by bitter enc
mics in the ranks OF his opponents, but all
these resentments are buried in the grave
which to day receives his remains. Conten-
ton respecting his rank as a commander
ceases, and unionists and confederates
alike testify to his powers in battle, and
his magnanimity in peace. Controversy
over his civil administration ceases, as
democrats and republicans united in pro-
nouncing him to have been IN every act,
and every aspiration an American patriot"

The Capture of John Brown.

From an account in the June Cent
swy of John Brown at Harper's Ferry.
written by one of his prisoners, who
was in the engine-house during the IN
surrection, and afterward held the
rank of captain in the Confederate
army, we quote the following: "When
Lieutenant Stuart came in the morn
ing for the final reply to the demand
to surrender l got up and went to
Browns side to hear his answer.
Stuart asked, Are you ready to
surrender, and trust to the mercy of
the Government
Brown answered promptly, No!
prefer to die here.
His manner did not betray the
least fear.
Stuart stepped aside and made the
signal for the attack, which was in
stantly begun with slodgo- hammers to
break down the door.
Finding it would not yield, the
soldiers seized a long ladder for bat
tering-ram, and commenced beating
the door with that, the party within
firing necessarily. ] had assisted in
the barricading, fixing the fastenings
so that | could remove them upon the
first effort to get in. But was not at
the door when the battering began,
and could not get TO the fastenings
until the ladder was used. l then
quickly removed the fastenings, and
after two or three strokes Of the lad
der the engine rolled partially back,
making small aperture, through
which Lieutenant Green of the marines
forced himself, jumped on top of the
engine, and stood a second in the
midst of a shower of balls, looking for
John Brown. When he saw Brown he
sprang about twelve feet at him, and
gave an under-thrust OF his sword,
striking him about midway the body
and raising him completely from the
ground. Brown fell forward with his
head between his knees, and Green
struck him several times over the head,
and, as l then supposed, split his skull
at every stroke.
"Iwas not two feet from Brown at
that time. Of course | got out of the
building as soon as possible, and did
not know till some time later that
Brown was not killed. 1t seems that
in making the thrust Green's sword
struck Browns belt and did not pene-
trate the body. The sword was bent
double. The reason that Brown was
not killed when struck on the head
was that Green was holding his sword
in the middle, striking with the hilt
and making only scalp Wounds

Farmers Vacations.

At this season of the year when the
farmer is 'up to his eyes" in work,
thousands of other folks are either
taking their annual vacation or plan
ming for one to be presently enjoyed
A large portion of these pleasure seek
ers are residents of hot and dusty cities
or large towns from which they are
glad to escape during some portion of
the heated term.
We are glad to observe, however.
that during later years it has become
a growing fashion among the popula-
ton of rural districts to follow the
example of city folks and take change
of air and scenery. This is as it should
be. The rural citizen will find just as
much benefit as his ''city cousin" by
changing his surroundings for few
DAYS or weeks every year. Therein
lies the whole secret of the annual
outing.
1t IS of course difficult matter to
convince farmers that summer vaca-
ton is possible for them. To some,
perhaps, it is almost out of the queS-
ton, but in thousand of cases farmers,
if they are so minded, can snatch
few DAYS from the active duties of the
farm and HE away TO the seaside or to
some other favorable locality and de-
vote themselves to the task of physi-
col recuperation, social intercourse
and intellectual growth. Forest, Forge
and Farm.

Some Characters at the Exposition.

From an illustrated paper on the
New Orleans Exposition by Eugene v.
Smalley, in the June Century, we quote
the following anecdotes OF some OF the
tvpes seen at the fair; 1.-The odd char
acters at the fair are the terror OF ex-
hibitors. A Cincinnati furniture max
er discovered countryman from
Arkansas whiting handsome ma
hogany cabinet ito see what the WOOD
was like. The mans knowledge OF
furniture was evidently limited TO
articles which could not be damaged
BY seasonable use of the jack-knife.
Another exhibitor, who had fitted up
room with the finest specimens OF
his art. was Mortified to find an old
lady eating her lunch OF fried chicken
seated in one of his satin upholstered
chairs. What's the cheer good for If
it amt to set down mp she placidly
remarked, in reply to his earnest re-
quest that she would 90 somewhere
else with her victuals. The same eX-
hibitor one day found that some visitor

1.-The Turks who sell olive-wood,
beads. and other trinkets from Jeru-
salem'-all made in Paris-are PIC
turesque additions to the permanent
personnel of the fair, though their
genuineness, like that of their wares
will not always bear inspection. An
amusing scene occurred one day at
one of these Oriental bazaars. A tall
man, with rural air, stopped before
the stand and appeared to take i've
ly interest, not in the goods but in the
features of one of the salesman in
scarlet fez and baggy trousers. He
surveyed the Oriental in front and IN
profile, and then. slapping him on the
shoulder, exclaimed, Hello, Jake,
when did you come from IndianaP
The turk from Indiana acknowledged
his old acquaintance and begged that
he would not give him away.

A FOREST HYMN.

The glowing sun is riding high
Amid the arches of the sky.
The dreamy air lies still,
No sound disiurbs the leafy glade
Save that by busy woodbill made
Up some ancient trunk, decayed-
Calm broods DER vale and I'LL.
In such an hour | love to stray
From haunts of toiling men away,
Mid forest depths profound;
There, in bliss of solitude,
Whe no duh cares of earth intrude,
And Nature breathes sweet quietude-
The grand old trees around
The heart by daily cares oppressed,
The wearied spirit findeih rest,
AS, pillowed on the sod,
With nought above but leaf and sky,
Aud loving look Of Heavenly Eye,
Perchance with angels lowering nigh,
dream Of Natures God.
