My Dear Brother Wciles,-I can most sin
cerely commend your school to the attention of
the public and for two reasons: First that the
instruction given is that of conscientious as well
as competent teachers, and that the pupils re-
ceive in your family that careful attention as to
health and comfort which cannot be had else
whore except at their homes
Second: In the present impoverished condi-
ton of so many parents in Eastern Virginia,
having daughters to educate, the moderate terms
for all expenses of board and tuition in Latin,
French, German, Mathematics, Music, and
board, presents most timely and sufficient OPP
portunity for such parents to secure the best ad-
vantages on terms adapted to their circum-
stances. certainly most earnestly desire a
success in your laudable work commensurate
with the growing merits of your school.
/ am, truly yours, B. M. SMITH"

CrusOe's Island To-Day.

Opposite the harbor Of Valparaiso
stands the island of Juan Fernandez,
sacred to the memory of Robinson
Crusoe land his man Friday, who kept
things tidy and listened to the tales his
master told" There isn't boy where
the English tongue Is spoken who hasn't
read description of this island better
told than 1 am able to give it, and it is
only necessary to say that Daniel Defoe,
or whoever wrote the book, must have
studied the place with great attention or
had the island created to suit the picture
he gave of it.
The little harbor is there, with its
rocks and coves, just as it was when Rob-
inson went ashore; the cave is IN good
order still, and the cliffs up which he
and Friday used to chase the mountain
goats. The goats are there and the arma.
dillos, the birds of wonderful plumage,
and the crawfish among the rocks. Every
boy in the United States who has read
the story recently could go all over the
place without a guide and could find
everything except Robinson himself and
the faithful Friday.
The island belongs to Chill and is

20, 900 or 30, 600 head of cattle and as
many more sheep grazing over the hills.
There are about fifty OF sixty inhabitants,
ranchmen with their families, under
charge of Frenchman named Crave,
and beside the stock they raise a guam
tity of poultry and ship chickens and
eggs, with some vegetables to the Val
paraso market The timber on the
island is said to be of an excellent quality,
but is not much used. No one ever goes
there without bringing away a cane or
two as memento. and the brush from
which these canes are made is of very
beautiful fiber and polished well. Ex-
cursions go over frequently from Yalpa,
raiso, and the interest in Robinson Cru
soe's experience is much stimulated by
those who come this way Chicago Inter

A PetrIRed Snake.

The petrifed snake recently found in
a sandstone rock just laid down in a
new walk built at Portsmouth, Ohio,
attracted a great deal of attention. The
petrifaction is not in the stone, but on
it, and the reptile seems to have been in
stantly killed while in motion, as the
body presents all the graceful curves of
movement. The snake, in life, was
about sixteen inches long Some three
or four inches Of the tail have been
broken off. The head and proportions
of the body are perfect, although the
stone cutter, in his anxiety to make it
look nice. did some chiseling around it
which had better been omitted There
are all kinds of theories as to how the
snake got fast on the surface of the rocks
and died there so suddenly. A thin
stratum of sandstone overlaid that con-
tanning the snake, with a slight deposit
of clay between the two The snake
seems to have been moving in what was
once a bed of sandy mud and afterward
became stone. 1t probably was killed
by lightning. and the deposits of clay
and sandstone around it were the result
of subsequent overflow.

FIIIbustering in the NalIOnal senate.

We had some memorable filibustering
in my day. l remember one night when
great contest in the Senate, over GER
tain bill, eliminated in twenty hours of
work The majority had determined
that they would "sit the bill' out that
night. So they assembled in force,
ready to pass it whenever they might see
their chance. The minority were also
on hand. Both sides were nearly ex-
hausted. AS the hands Of the clock APP
preached the hour of midnight, there
was scarcely Senator in the room. l
remember that Senator Merriman led the
minority; Senator Logan watched" for
the majority. Senator Merriman had
the floor, with the unlimited privilege of
continuous debatepermitted by the rules
and he seemed prepared to talk forever.
But occasionally he paused to allow
another member of the minority to make
a motion to adjourn, upon which the
'yeas and nays" would be ordered
"And the clerk will call the roll J"
Those words were the signal for action.
"Call up the Senators !" cried Senator
Logan; "call up the Senatorsw came
from Senator Merriman; ''call up the
Senator's !" echoed Captain Bassett. This
is how we pages call them. Each of us
would rush around through the various
rooms and give one of these sleeping
Senators a little tap, shouting "Yeas and
Nays" and dart away to find another.
Sometimes a dozen pages would waken
the same Senator. In fact, we usually
ran in line-all together.
Soon the sleepy Legislators could be
seen creeping into the chamber from all
directions, half awake, with disheveled
hair, and presenting a woe begone APP
pearance generally. They would me-
chanically cast their votes, the motion
to adjourn would be lost, Senator Merri-
man would resume his speech, and the
other Senators, except the watchers"
would again vanish as mysteriously and
as noiselessly as the soldiers of Roderick
Dhu. When he had given them time to
fall asleep, he would again yield the floor
to motion to adjourn, and the perform
ance would be repeated.
During all this speech making most
of the minority were asleep. They de-
pended upon Senator Merriman (as most
of the majority depended upon Senator
Logan and their other leaders, to wake
them at the proper time. They relied
upon him to do all the talking. He was,
as say, prepared to do it. But he made
a mistake He remembered the courtesy,
but he forgot the rules of the Senate.
He had been yielding the floor to his
friends whenever he saw fit, and re-
sumiug it again after they had said what
ever they wished. Senator Logan atlast
interfered. He raised the "point of or
der" that the Senator from North Carolina
could not speak "more than twice" on
the matter then pending, Senator Mer-
riman stood aghast! The presiding
officer sustained the point of order.
That is where the Generalization of
the minority seemed to begin. At ten
minutes past seven o'clock A. NJ, the
majority passed the bill!
