An Outline SchooI-Master.

Edward Egglcston, In ST. Nicholas.
hundred and fifty years ago, among the
German settlers Of Pennsylvania, there was
remarkable old school master, whose name
was Christopher Dock. For three days he
taught school at little place called Skippack,
and then Tor the next three days he taught
AT Stafford.
Whenever one Of his younger scholars
succeeded In learning his Il &, the good
Christopher Dock required the father Of his
pupil to give his son a penny, and also asked
his mother to cook two eggs FOR him as a
treat in honor OF his diligence. To poor
children i'm a new country there were fine
progress, an industrious child in ore of Docks
schools received a penny from his father and
two eggs cooked by his mother. All this
time he was not counted "A member OF the
school, but only as on probation. The day
on which boy or girl began to read was the
great day. Ifthe pupil had been d 'ligent N

the first reading day, would give ticket

A Word TO Historian McMaster.

The new American historian, McMaster,
who is making highly creditable venture
in the work of writing the history of our
people, upon a different plan from any that
has been hitherto pursued, is very justly
criticised for the disposition he manifests to
belittlc if not tblackguard jefferson, Monroe
and Madison.
The authors intense sympathies with
Hamilton are undsguised and may be
pardoned ; but they do not justify and they
are not in any sense exalted by his scurri-
lous treatment of Hamiltons great oppo-
nent and his most distinguished associates
of like political faith.
1t is true that our Revolutionary fathers
were not above the weaknesses and some OF
| the wiles of common human nature but
| there is no demand from truth or histor,
for their inlirmties to be exaggerated ant
| their merits to be deprecated.
| A wart or some other blemish Oh ufan
face may be much more conspicuous thar
his nose, but it is by no means 81, essential
feature of his phys rgnoiny. The photog
rapher will tell you that there are certain
lights in which if the portrait is made
will present such blemishes in a grossl.
distorted and altogether unfair and unnat
ural view.
| No two characters in later America
history were the subjects Of greater popu
lar adulation than Lincoln and Garfield
But any attempt TO tell the whole trut
about them would he public nuisance.

Our City Race Courses.

1t would be very well indeed that the
police should be refreshed in their knowl-
edge of the ordinance relating to fast dri-
wing in the city; of which we judge they
are wholly ignorant, because they make
no effort to enforce it. 1t is an important
and wholesome ordinance, which prevails
in every municipality, and which is neces-
sary to protect the quiet traveller upon the
streets against the violence of others who
think only of the qualification it affords
them to exhibit the fast pace OF
their horses. City avenues are not well
adapted for race courses, and every city
forbids such use of them. In all well
ordered places the prohibition is made eff.
fective, and it should be SO here. We sug.
gest that the mayor of the city shall al
once refresh the memories of the police
force as to the existence of the ordinance
forbidding fast driving, and should at the
same time take occasion to fasten upon
them the recollection of it by advising
them that they will be held responsible fol
its observance on their beats and the
beats should be short upon the habitual
race grounds of the city, and particularly
well supplied with policemen at racing
hours.

THE pessimists who are looking with
gloomy eyes at the future because of the
present business stagnation should ponder
some of the plain facts that initiate against
the present possibility of any permane mt
check to the onward aud upward CONNER
cial tendency i'm the United States. We are
a population of 30, 100000, one third of whom
are bread winners and about s,OO00O0 en-
gagged In agricultural pursuits. The coun-
try embraces an area of 100000 square
miles. or this more than $50, 900, 600
acres are under cultivation, divided into
more than 100000 farms. These represent
an assessed value of more than $40, 600, OOO, 600
or over five times the whole debt OF the
United States. In single year these farms
produced an average of nearly 1000, OOO, 900
bushels Of corn and over 459, 900, 900 bushels
OF wheat Besides there are 25i,O0O manu-
featuring establishments, representing
capital of S3,0OO,0OO,OO0. These employ
nearly 100000 hands and pay in wages
every year $1,000, 100000 From mines last
year S2l 100000 worth of gold was dug, and
4l, l,0O0,OO0 Of silver; 7l,0O0,000 tons OF coal
were also dug. There are $1,000 miles OF
railroad in the United States, or enough to
reach three times and a-half round the world.
Upon these are employed 100000 men, who
receive Sl96, 900, OOO0 per annum. With such
host OF workers and in such country il
will be impossible to impede the wave that
must steadily carry the United States on TO
the commercial supremacy of the world.

some Famous Old Maids.

From the North British Advertiser.
Elizabeth of England was one OF the most
illustrious Of modern sovereigns. Her rule
over Great Britain certainly comprised the
most brilliant literary age Of the English
speaking people. Hor political acumen was
certainly put to as severe tests as that of any
other ruler the world ever saw. Maria
Edgeworth was an old maid. 1t was this
woman's writings that first suggested the
thought of writing similarly to Sir Walter
Scott Her brain might well be called the
mother of the Waverley novels. Jane
Porter lived and died an old maid.
The children of her busy brain
were "Thaddeus of Warsaw " and "The
Scottish Chiefs" which have moved the
hearts of millions with excitement and tears.
Joanna Baillie, poet and play-writer, was
"one of en-" Florence Nightingale, most
gracious lady, heroine OF Inkermann and
Balaklava hospitals, has To the present writ
ten "Miss before her name. The man who
should marry her might well take the name
OF Njghting lie. Sister Dora, the brave spirit
of English pesthouses, whose story is as a
helpful evangel, was the bride Of the worlds
sorrow only. And then what worlds could
the writer and reader add of those whom the
great world may not know but we know,
and the little world of the village, the church.
the family know aud prize beyond all
worlds?
