MONSIEUR DE LEssEPs is in love with himself
For salvo of egotistical utterances commend us
to his speech to the French Academy, on his
taking place there as one of the immortals.
He had an inexhaustible supply Of rs at com
mand and was generous with them. In a word
the speech was I, de Lesseps, am a very great
man, in fact the greatest, and will not let you
forget it. Space can be given to but one gem.
Here it is:
IF thus explain myself to you with an en-
phass which may seem complacent, it is not for
the empty pleasure of talking of myself; it is to
justify you in your owfI eyes for having chosen
me by showing the similitudes existing between
my predecessor and myself"

THE Hon. w. w. Thomas. whom the Hon.
Rufus Magee is to succeed as minister to Swe-
den, is, no doubt, gratifed at the Endorsement
the Aftonbladet newspaper in Stockholm gives
him. 1t is likely Mr. Cleveland will be inter
ested in reading this reference from that paper:
''Mr Cleveland had here favorable opportu-
tunity for showing that he was in earnest in his
declarations-an opportunity alas, that he has
not avaied himself Of Mr.. Thomas was Re-
publican, consequently he must 60, although 1T
can be said that he was cut out for the position

A BILL to repress dynamite had been long
time before the Massachusetts House judiciary
committee, but the committee saw fit to report
to the House new draft. 1t differs from tho
original bill in emitting the clause requiring
dealers in dynamite and similar explosives to
keep record of the name and residence of every
person to whom they dispose of such explosives,
and reducing the penalty for soliciting aid for
dynamite crimes to $500 fine. from $1,000, and
three years imprisonment from five. The aver
age politician hedges with agility upon any ques-
ton savoring of reckoning from his constitu-
ents. Massachusetts, dynamiters under such a
law will suffer- no relaxation in their schemes of
scientific war fare.

THE operate Mapleson's troubles increase
with years. He is as fond of law suit as any
learned gentleman of the bar. If he cannot sue
somebody he is unhappy; but to have his recent
legal bout with Patti, Nevada, and others who
are alleged to have violated contracts, supple
mented by doubt as to Gerster's appearance,
next season, on account of her new baby, is ag-
gravating. But Mapleson, in all his glory, can
not recover from the victory Abbey accomplished
in furnishing the stars for the last Cincinnati
festival. There is difficulty yet in the way of
the return of her Majesty's opera to the city of
floods, riots and bad streets.

Ii ever man richly deserved hanging, that
man is Alexander Steele, one of the attendants
at the Morristown, Pa, insane asylum. His
crime is having most inhumanly beaten a

kicking him as to drive one Of the ribs through
his victims heart. Justice should never let

CINCINNATI now and then returns to the con-
sideration of floods and how to prevent them.
Her Affections by water, year and two years
ago. caused immediate debate over the depletion
of forests, increase of drainage, rainfalls and
all that as causes of floods, and over levees,
dredging and score of other plans of proven
tives of wholesale damage, but she never got
beyond talking and writing. Another flood will
find her, as usual, at the old stand. But this is
no reason why she should go on ignorant of what
others are doing in her behalf. New Yorker
is working prolific idea, and here it is, as we
find it mentioned by him in paper of that city:
II would suggest that ever spring. before the
sun gets warm enough to melt the snow, dyna-
mite and electricity be used to break up the ice
commencing at the mouth of the stream and
following the same to its source, thus opening
the channel so that when the snow melts there
would be a clear channel for it to run into"

WHEN we forgive our enemies there is an ex-

old soldiers of the Army of the Potomac believe
in the latter when it comes to OVERRIDING the SEN

fortunate that the sentimentaIists howled down
their opponents at the Baltimore meeting the

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
Many say they want practical education
for their children, and when they say this
they refer to the branches taught. Many
say they do not want their children to study
geography. history, grammar, &C., because
they do hot expect them to use the knowl-
edge obtained from these branches. Prac-
tical education, is that which teaches pupils
to think; that which exercises the faculties
Of the mind. Doubtless there are many i'm
dlviduals who would cry out against the
study Of botany, geology, and zoology on the
grounds that they are not practical, when
the truth is, nothing is more practical than
these branches for the reason that they call
into vigorous exercise nearly all the facul.
ties Of the mind. The main point in this
question is not particularly what the pupil
studies but how he studies 1t. Thoroughness
is practicality. Undigested food does the
body no good, but harm, SO unassimilated
knowledge yeakens rather than strengthens
the mind.
