NEGLECTED EDUCATION.

Attention is called to the fact that
about thirty per cent Of our educated
men, who have had the advantage of a
college course, give evidence of at
least one defect in their education.
This lack is probably more observable
in those who have studied for The
ministry than in the other professions,
for the reason the minister is most
often heard in public assemblies. The
deficiency referred to is the lack of
Evolutionary training, particularly
voice culture. The human voice is as
capable of being cultivated for speak
ing as for vocal music. What is the
benefit for the student to gather great
store of learning for future public use,
unless he has the ability to impart it
acceptably and understandingly to
others? There are habits of speaking
on the public platform which render
it difficult for the nearer to understand
the sentiments expressed without pain
full effort, This is not because of nat
ural defects in the organs Of speech,
but in more than nine cases out of ten
the difficulties are of kind that can
be overcome. 1t is great discomfort
and annoying to listen to a speaker
who has we'll digested and instruct
i've discourse, but whose indistinct
utterances are only half ineligible.
The chief fault with the class of
speakers referred to IS the want of
clear enunciation. If the vowel
sounds are not distinctly articulated,
the reading or speaking is defective.
Too little attention to this branch of
education is given by teachers in our
public schools, and certainly too little
in the Summaries of theological
training. Far better would it be for
the theological student to omit part
Of his studies in the dead languages,

Manning frankly admits that Mr..

any Democrat has the presumption to
say that Republicans when in power
did like things, we most emphatically
deny it. There are Democratic clerks
in the departments who have been in
Office many years, and who have gone
home to vote at election, yet, (frOm
more than dozen years observation
in the departments, there has been no
instance where a Democratic clerk was
removed for no other cause than for
voting. These instances of the viola
tion of civil service are now becoming
so frequent that they will soon be re-
garded as a dead letter.

PRESB YTERIANS AND CATIT-E
OLICS.

A warm discussion sprang up in the
U. S. General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain church in session at Cincinnati
last week, on the question of the
validity of Roman Catholic baptism,
The question came up on resolution
of Judge Drake, of Washington, declar-
Ing snch baptisms invalid. This ques-
ton, it appears, has been under consid-
Grafton by former assemblies of the
church, but generally referred to the
Individual churches to take such ac-
ton as deemed proper. The debate
was finally brought to a stand-still by
DR.. Dickey, of Philadelphia, who rails
ed the inquiry whether the General
Assembly in 1860 had not recognized
the proselytism from Rome of priest
and 1000 communicates? No one
answered the question, and a motion
was adopted to table the whole sub
ject. This leaves each individual
church to judge of the fitness of the
members it receives to its communion.

CLEVELAND'S APPOINTMENTS

CLEVELAND'S APPOINTMENTS.
It would not be surprising if Mr.
Cleveland should occasionally make a
mistake in his many appointments.
But the objectional appointments have
become so frequent, they are mex
cusable The appointment of Zacha-
riah Montgomery Attorney of the
Interior Department is an insult to
the friends of our free public school
system throughout the whole country.
This man Montgomery has put him
self on the record as a violent enemy
of public schools. In a work which he
has caused to be published, he declares
the public school system puts tue
children under the guardianship of
school boards and trustees, who may
choose libertines and harlots Cor their
teachers. He proceeds TO say:
Were it not for the widespread and
almost total ignorance on the part OF
parents as regards the poisonous and
deadly fruits which they and their
children and society at large are daily
reaping from this anti-parental system
of education, it could not survive a
single month in it's present shape. Oh
how true 1t is that ignorance is the
mother of vice."
These scandalous charges would not
be of so much consequence, were il
not that the Office to which Mr.. Mont
gomery has been appointed will be re-
quired to decide upon every legal ques.
ton relating to school land grants
made by Congress, which form the
basis of public school funds in every
state. He has committed to him a
greater possibility of the education

than any other officer of the govern.
ment. The President cannot plead
ignorance in making the appointment:
of so prominent an officer for such a
position.

SOLDIERS DECORATION.

The Goth day of May was more gen
orally observed in neighboring cities
and villages this year than in previous
ones for a long time past. In many
places the ceremonies were largely at
tended, and the occasion rendered i'm
pressive by fitting addresses, appropri-
ate music, and an elaborate decoration
of flowers. It speaks nobly for the
patriotism that keeps afresh the re-
membrance Of our fallen soldiers
When the people forget the services OF
those who periled life for their country
it will be an unforgiven period in our
history. When patriotism dies out
the country will be an easy victim OF
bad government.
In this city decoration day was
scarcely noticeable from other days
No business places were closed, and
there was nothing discoverable differ
ent from other times; apparently but
few persons in the city knew that any
decoration exercises were intended
There are So soldiers graves in the
cemetery. A few persons in carriages
drove to that depository of the dead,
taking with them small urns OF
flowers for each grave; these were dis
tributed and the work was over. Mr.
w. E. Reed, who is always ready to
volunteer on these occasions, informs
us that only some eight or ten persons
participated in the ceremony in the
cemetery. Kenosha has manifested
seeming Indifference few years past
in honoring the memory Of our Union
soldiers, and it is hoped that when
another year shall be vouchsafed the
country, a new enthusiasm will be
aw akened.

HUSBANDS SCARCE IN ENGLAND.

"What's the reason so many Eng
llsh women come over here to join the
Mormons?" said a Castle Garden
official, in response TO an inquiry.
" Because they won't have half a
chance to get husbands in England ;
that's the reason. Why, one of 'em
was telling me that, out of 100 women
folks in her native village between the
ages of 20 and IS, there were husbands
for only fifty-six of 'em. Fourteen of
the other fifty-four had owned hus-
bands once, but they had died. The
remaining thirty never had any. She
seemed to have made study of the
question, for she told me that there
were less than four million women
between 20 and 40 years in all England
and Wales, and of them nearly two
million were unmarried. SO when
the English women learned about
Utah, and the glorious opportunities
it afforded them in a marital way
they became impressed with the place
at once; and that's why they keep
coming over with the Mormon Mission

PLEA FOR HOME ATTRAcTI 0NS.


PLEA FOR HOME ATTRACT ONS.
An observant citizen remarks that
flower gardens. and especially the
practice of adorning yards in front OF
dwellings with flowers, is lot so COM
mon now as in former times. Whether
this be so or not is an open question
for the friends of flowers to settle. 1t
may be true that the taste for flowers
in identifying the grounds around
dwellings has changed, and that floral
attractions have been banished to the
rear of residences, instead of their
long accustomed place in the fore
ground.
A small, low story and half house,
in the first ward of this city, is fire.
quently passed. The ground floor of
the house, if all in one room. would not
be larger than a good sized parlor.
The building is plain and unpreten-
tious; windows small; on the end
fronting the street are four slender
columns, which by the help of vivid
imagination might be supposed to have
been suggested by picture of the
temple of Diana. The grounds
around are kept scrupulouslv free from
rubbish or unsightly things. The
front yard, appropriated to the growing
of flowers and plants, is conveniently
laid out, and a variety of house flower
ing plants, which have been kept in
doors during the winter, have been set
in the ground. The flower seeds have
been sown, and will in due time fur
nish additional beauty. Itcan readily
be imagined that when the occupant
of this little dwelling returns from his
daily vocation, what pleasure the sight
Of his home imparts; how doubly dear
it is to him, and while he gladly meets
his family, his higher nature greets
the companionship of fragrant flowers.
How much it would detract from his
love of home and its surroundings
were these attractions wanting. The
wife, too, if perchance her society of
friends be limited, can enjoy the clan
guage of flowers" which is refining.
How many unattractive homes there
are in this city and county with no
floral attractions, with gloomy sur
roundings, bare grounds without hard
| ly shrub or a plant. How many
small cottages now looking forlorn
might be rendered inviting and pleas
ant, with only a little effort. No fam
lily, however poor, unless languishing
on beds of sickness, has reasonable
excuse for not giving attention to trail
ing roses, or Towering plants of some
kind
