In his inaugural address, President
Knox, of Lafayette, states that, in the
colleges and universities of England,
there is one student for each 5000
population; in Germany one for each
2,134; in New England one for each
1,02S; and in Scotland one for each
GIG. From this he makes the deduc-
ton that an increased disposition for
scriptural training accomplishes and
begets zeal for education. -Indepen-

Let US be so attentive to the lessons
given us by the Great Teacher that
when the day of examination with us
shall severally come. we may hear the
glad welcome .'well done,' and at last
gather beyond the River, under the
cloudless sky, undimmed by the shade
of night, there to renew our search for
knowledge and our labor of love, with
immortal faculties which are least
weary when most employed. Prof. q.
Y. DeGraf.

High School last Thursday, in which
the students were asked Unexpectedly,

they could carry and drove into the city for

and es soon as the news of the out
break reached here the church bells were
set in motion. Father Mcdonald and citi-
zens escorted the women and children to the

while Col. T. Cauiey headed the artillery
toward the scene of BATTLE" where every
thing was found peaceable.

The Sentence of Riel.

Louis Riel," said Judge Richardson in
deep tones, after long duration, attended
by able counsel, you have been found guilty
OF the greatest crime thatcan becommitted.
1t has been proved that you let loose the
gate of bloodshed. You have brought ruin
and misery to many families. F~orwhntyou
havcdone the law requires hat you must
answer. 1t is true the jury lave asked the
mercy of her majesty. While sitting here a
notice has been placed in my hands by your
counsel, who will take action in a higher
court. For me. | have only todom my duty.
l would suggest to you to prepar to meet
your end. My duty is a painful one to me.
You will be taken from here to the Regina
Jail, where you will remain until the 18th
Of September next, when you will be taken
out and hanged by the neck until dead, and
may the Lord have mercy on yoursoul."

A DemoraliZed bureau.

Washington Special. The report Of the
committee, consisting OF Messers. Thorne,
Garrison and Huntington, upon their in
vestigatian Of the coast survey, has been
submitted tie The secretary OF the treasury.
1t states:
They tookpossession oftheb bureau July "a
and conducted an investigation, leaving no
ground for doubt that the actual condition
of the survey was one of decentralization and
its working inefficient, unjust, and to some
extent disreputable. The regulations are
partially to blame, but the late superin-
tendent is chargeable with a willingness to
avail himself OF opportunities for n contin-
pance of abuse, weakness and procrastina-
ton, %favoritism and arrogance, disregard
OF regulations and notorious use of intoxi,
cauts. This combination seems to have
been d~cmoralzing to his subordinates.
The investigation showed "A large number
of irregularities, which are set forth at great
length, and which INVOLVE reckless eXtrava,
salce and gross mismanagement. TIL,
committee find:
Prof. Hilgard's habits and methods, his
failure OF the faculty or perversion OF mod
crate sense unfit him for a position Of re
| sponsibility. The dismissal OF Col. Bou
telle from the service is perhaps undcserv
ed, but his restoration to his former place
is deprecated. The restoration OF G.. A
| Saegmullcr would be detrimental to The
morals of the coast survey.

MEXICAN


Eyes.
Letter in Boston journal.
The streets of Mexico are, in a meas
have so far visited. Straight, wide and
lined with handsome houses two or
three stories high, almost invariably of
stone and lighted by large windows
opening upon small stone balconies, it
loses something of the English charac-
ter which the narrow lanes of blank
adobe walls give the lesser towns, but
gains q corresponding richness. These
little balconies, ornamented often by
carvings and always by balus-
trades of wrought iron often bright
ened by gliding and color, and
shaded by linen awnings, make a fea-
ture in themselves. Here on Sunday
and fete days, as we'll as toward evening,
the youth Of the city gathers in the full
dress Of private life, and the stolen CLAN
ces, which form the oulv intercourse al
lowed between the sexes fash back and
forward between youth and maiden.
Even deprived OF the opportunity for
Interchange Of VOWS, for nand-clasping
and te der greeting it is ~self-evident
that a young Meiicana, true to the tradi-
tons of her Castilian forebears, can
make as much havoc with her anguish
ing dark eyes and the softly fiuttering
fan which supplements them, as n
other girl arrayed in the full
rational outfit of courtship. This is
true, of course, only when she, as al
ways should be but seldom is, happens
to be beautiful. The pretty girls are
exquisite, the slender oval of the face,
the rich olive of the cheek, the long,
sweeping, dark lashes of the suberb
eyes, glowing at once with passion and
tenderness, the low forehead with its
ripping mass of dusky hair, the slen-
der neck, the 1.-the form, the spring
step and the dainty foot make them
like a poets dream Of darkly brilliant
loneliness, not to be measured by any
type with which We have been hereto
fore familiar. But nature is never over
lavish, and the number of these SPLEEN
did creatures is as few as Interpretations
are many. Remembering the streets at
uOlle alGcl Vic lluuN ulISl Iool iSiedl :
sal filled with the fragile, flowerlike
bloom of winsome but delicate girlhood,
It's brave eyes looking the world full in
the face, with that mixture of innocence
and holiness which is the hybrid blossom
modern civilization, these shy, but rich
specimens, us rare as they are wonder
full, look few indeed. Their perfection
is offset by mn equally pronounced ugli-
ness on the part of the many, and Young
~womanhood changes into faded middle
age even sooner than with ns-whirh is
saying a great deal. Nevertheless the
graceful mantilla, which is yet almost
universally worn in the street, bui
which is unfortunately beginning tic
give way to the ugly stiffness of the
French hat and bonnet, gives to many
plain face such a soft and effective bacl
ground hat one brings back from
walk only a piquant and pleasing ex
preston. If the Mexican women knew
what they were about they would cling
to this becoming head-dress as they
do their faith; the sex has no right t,
let aside such a charming accessory.

go, Lor' Hit I'm Aga:n!"

In the early days OF Meahodism in
Scotland, acertaincongregatlon, where
there vas but M richman, desired to
build a new chapel. A church meet
ing was held. The old rich Scotchman
rose and said: Brethren, we dinna
need q new chapel: III give 95 for re-
pairs"
Just then abit ofplaster falling from
theceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad it
was, he said: "Brethrcn, its worse
thon | THOUGHT; III make it so pun"
"Oh, Lord" exclaimed u devoted
brother on a back seat, chit i'm
again!'
There are many human tabernacles
which are in sore need OF radical build
ing over, but we pulitzer and fuss and
repair in spots without satisfactory
results. 1t is only when we are per
sonally alarmed at the real danger
that we act Independently, and do the
right thing. Then it is that we most
keenly regret because we didnot sooner
use our Judgment, following the advice
born OF the experience of others and
Jump away from our perlls.
Thousands OF persons who will read
this paragraph are in abiect misery
to-day when they might be in u sat
isfactory condition. They are weak,
l%ifeless, full OF odd aches and pains,
and every year they know they are
getting worse, even though the best
doctors are patching them in spots.
The origin OF these aches and pains is
the kidneys and liver, and If they
would build these all over new with
Warmers safe cure as millions have
done, and cease investing their money
in miserably unsuccessful patchwork
they would be very well and happy
and would bless the day when the

Government Crop Report.

The moist and hot weather following the

wheat in the Northwest, mainly III Nlscon-
sin and Minnesota, while generally noticed
effects are v%ariousiy reported, prominent
counties returning from 100 To So-in a
few eases down to 60 and jS-the latter
in the case OF Pierce county, Wisconsin.
Most Of the great wheat counties in Mime
sofa report the average from 70 to 30,
though Dodge returns only 90. Some OF
the less important make an average OF 100.
The reduction in the prospective yield Is
g~reatcst in Minnesota, amounting to nine
points. The decline is five in Wisconsin,
~fourin Iowa and one in Dakota. There is
an increase in the other territories and IN
New England. The average decline is four
noints. and indicates a reduction OF G,O00,-
600 OF bushels from the expectation on the
LIST Of July. No reports concerning the re-
suit of threshing OF winter wheat are re-
ceivcd. except in the South. In Texas the
outcome is greater than was expected, and
higher rates of yield are reported.

Mrs. Potts.
From the Lowell Courier.
81 think, my dear, March pork is a
good purchase" said Mr.. Potts, taking
another pancake and skimming oyer
the morning paper.
81 guess we don't need any, thank
you" said Mrs. Potts. IF you see
any good October butter anywhere,
you might send up a JAR"
"You don't understand me, my dear.
l mean n little speculation. Let me
Aow you how it works. Now l buy
$50 barrels OF pork at s12.37t a bar
rel"
"Heatens and earth, Mr.. Potts, VIII ere
are you going to put it ALL"
Don't be so fast, wife. I don't ever
see the pork myself, OF have anything
to do with it."
81 thought you just said YOU were go
ing to send up go barrels"
mo, 1 didn't. The pork L am going
to buy is way off in Chicago"
How did you know whether it is good
or not, then?"
Dear me, wife; what do + care
whether it is good or bad? I merely go
long"
you mean you go long minding
your own business"
"No, no. That's a technical phrase.
Let me explain it to You. You see when
l go long, the bucket shop goes short"
"Short?"
"Short. Mrs. Potts"
"Short OF pork? Why don't they get
some more, dear?"
Good Lord, wife, the whole thing is
plain as day. Here / so to a bucket
shop and buy ESQ barrels OF pork that.
don't you see, makes them bears and
me a bull"
Don't you know any better, Mr..
Potts, than to talk like that before
your own children? 1 should think
you'd be ashamed of yourself, sir. You
get worse and worse every day"
"You don't know what YOU are talk
ing about, Mrs. Potts. When I bug
$50 or 500 barrels of pork 1t shows 1
feel like q bull
~ should think you'd feel like an
IDIOT"
81 buy $50 barrels of pork, rs I said
before, Mrs. Potts, and cover 1t with
Margins"
"What kind of margins?"
ooh, scent margins, to begin with.
II shouldn't think margins as cheap
as that would be good f"g anything.
You'd better let me go and pick then
out for you, Mr.. Pots. Men never
know about such things"
al buy 80 barrels of pork, Mrs.
Potts, and hold on to it until March,"
II Thought you said you wouldn't
have any to hold on to-"
"As l said before, Mrs. Potts, Ibuy
$50 barrels Of pork and holl on to II
until March comes, and then pork, ac'
cording to my way OF thinking, will b'
worth u dollar or two more a barre
Than [ gave for it, and I'll be anywhere
from $3.50 to $500 ahead. What do yor
think of that, Mrs. Potts?"
"Wherc is the $500 coming from?"
"Trom my deal"
."What deal"

Friday Night in New York.

The city was filed with arestless, moving
,rowd that made its presence felt among
the million and II half inhabitants and
throneed every street and avenue with n
mob OF people that has not been equalcd
in size within the memory OF the present
generation. Indeed there are many who
express the belief that it outnumbcrcd any
gathering OF people in the history OF the
country. Every hour added thousands to the
throng already here, and before the solemn
march to the dead hero's last resting place
shall have begun, there will be almost twice
as many strangers in the city as there are at
present. The railroads and steambo at
routes to the city are taxed to the utter
most. Extra trains and boats have been
running on all lines throughout thcday, but
even with those additions their carrying
capacity has been insufficient to accommo-
date the crowd. Estimates OF the number
OF visitors in New York vary widely and
range from half a million to n million. AS
many more are expected here on the early
morning trains.
The scenes in the uptown streets On the
evening OF the It'll was without parallel in
the history OF the city, On Broadway, he
tween Twenty-third and Thirty third
the crowd. People are walking four and
five abreast, but even then the pace is slow
and tiresomc. Nine-tenths OF those on the
streets are visitors, who struggle along
while l~eisprely admiring the decorations.
The hotels are simply iammed full OF peo-
pie. Even the most obscure house has
twice as many guests rs it ordinarily ac,
commodities, and it is even impossible to
secure cots at the more prominent ones.

A Surprise for Army officers.

Secretary Endicott has prepared a sur
prise for army officers by amending certain
army regulations so as to maxi them as
follows;
An officer shall not fiji any staff appoint
mcnt or otiersituation, theduties OF which
will detach himfromh his company, regiment
or corps. until he has served at least three
years with his regiment or corps; nor shall
any officer remain detached longer than
four years unless assigned to special duty
by the war department.
The secretary prontulsates this change
with the following order.
All officers below thegrade OF field officers
who have been absent for n period OF four
wears or Iongerfrom their regiment orcorps
will be relieved from their present duties MS
soon rs practicable after the receipt oil this
order, and directed TO report Tor duty with
their respective regiment corps. In the selec-
ton ofaid-de-camps totil vacancies created
by the operation Of the last preceding para
graph. major and brigadier generals will
coutine their selection to the officers OF the
regiments OF the line Of the army not pro
hiDitcd in the regulations and preferable to

Grants Old War Horse.

Gen. Grants ~favoritc war horse, Gncin.
natl, is to nave an honored sepulture as
well us his master. His bones now lie on
Admiral Anlmcn's farm, near Washington,
where he died some years ago. lhey are
now to be taken upand ~givento the Nation
al museum. Admiral Ammen says that
Cincinnati was the finest horse he ever rode.
Grants love for him was very great. He
once loaned him TO Admiral Ammen bride
to the front at Richmond, to inspect the
lines. When the admiral returned Gen.
Grants first question was not what he
thought of the lines, but what he thought
of the horse. Cincinnati had almost human
intelligence, and Cen Grant used to direct
his movements az if be was one olhis aides.
Thouph he escaped the risk OF the battle
field. he broke Ms leg on Admiral Ammen's
farm and was shot.

Charles Wright, alias Sim Wann, in the
