The Substantial Unity of Liberal
Studies.

Careful observers of American ten
denotes within the province of higher
education must have clearly seen the
steady drift toward an ever wider sepa-
ration of leading departments. While
among few a strenuous effort is max
ing to coordinate more closely than ever
the prominent courses of our colleges,
there is far more decided working
toward practical separation and antag-
onism. Viewing the three great sec
tions-science, philosophy and language
Qiterature)-as necessarily included
within the domain of the liberal arts,
sharp boundary lines are at once drawn
between any two of them, and practi-
cal disparity of interest and end is the
inevitable result. The respective rep
resentatives of these departments are
too often inclined to view each other as
common opponents, whose object it is
to secure some individual advantage at
the expense of related department.
The mooted question as to the relative
superiority of science to philosophy, or
of science to literature, or of ancient to
modern languages, or of these latter to
English, while in themselves legitimate
and helpful, are argued in a polemic
spirit rather than in a spirit of educa-
cational amity, and argued by those who
seem to have particular ends to serve
rather than by those who, as instruct
ors of men, are set for the dissemina-
ton of common truth for common ends.
Ardent advocates of scientific training
look askance at their colleagues in Ian
guage and philosophy, as if their re-
spective aims were diverse; and scarcely
day passes in which our attention is
not called to g new education" adj
vocated, in the main, because it is new.
This is all in the wrong direction and
spirit, and recalls the old watchword of
the reformers, as applicable here as in
theology: " In essentials, unity; in non
essentials, liberty. "-ProtesSor Hunt.

Questions Answered.

e. o. W., Burlington.-If you are
not satisfied with the increase that was
recently granted you, it will not affect
further efforts to obtain still higher
rate by accepting what has already been
granted you.
G.. H. S., Middlesex.-You are not
the only one who has been sold by pur-
chasing the rates of pensions granted
from the Washington publisher. Mr..
T. j. Deavitt, Montpelier, VT, has pub
lished a more complete list of pension
rates for both rank and disability, which
he sends free to any one applying for
the same. than the one you mention.
A. H., Woodbury.-Your pension
claim is in the hands of special eX-
aminer of the pension office, who will
take the testimony at your home when
your case is reached. 1t usually takes
about a week for a pension office eX-
aminer to investigate a case like yours.
He sends the testimony he takes, with
his own report, to the pension Office be-
fore the case is decided.
O. L. W., West Topsham.- In all APP
plications made since the LIST of July,
1880, the pension of a widow COM
mences at the time the application was
filed in the pension office, and not from
the date Of the soldiers death. If a
pensioner dies, leaving widow who is
entitled to receive pension, she will not
receive pay for the time between the
soldiers death and the time she makes
the application.
c. w. A., Jericho, writes that he was
pensioned for chronic diarrhea and alb
.scesses of neck and side, and was after
wards dropped from the pension roll.
He asked to be, and was, restored on
one disability only. He says he was in.
formed that he could only be restored
for one disability at a time. He desires
to know if he can now be restored on
the other disability, and also if he car
obtain back pay at higher rate by
showing that the first rating was toe
low. AnSWer.-You can be restored
on as many disabilities as your evil
dence showed you to be entitled to in 6
single application. In cases of disease
it is difficult to obtain back pay at 6
higher rate than was at first paid 1t i:
sometimes done, however, when the
testimony clearly shows that the frs
rating did the claimant injustice.

Law and Public Sentiment.

The Hon. Francis Wharton, in his
recent address to the graduating class
of the Law School of the Columbia Uni
versity, laid down two fundamental
principles, which he illustrated by nu-
merous examples. One was that laws,
to be lasting and beneficial, must rise
upward from the people to the law
maker, not descend downward from the
law-maker to the people, The other
was that mo law can be permanently
operative or beneficial that is not de-
claratory of existing conditions" Both
of these propositions are true, espec-
tally in all popular governments, where
the opinions and wishes of a majority
of the people really constitute the law,
Some visionary and hot-headed reform
ers, who have more zeal than sense,
sometimes suppose that if they can get
legal rule placed in the form of a
constitutional provision or legislative
statute, that will be sufficient, without
regard to " existing conditions " among
the people ON whom the rule is to
operate, TO secure the end at which they
aim. 1t is hardly possible to make a
greater mistake. Law, in order to Sc
cure its end, must be executed; and
this can be done only by some form OF
human agency. This agency, in re-
publican government, comes from the

Singing in the Family.

Cultivate singing in your family.
Begin when the child is not yet three
years old. The songs and hymns your
childhood sang-bring them back to
your memory and teach them to your
little ones: mix them all together, to
meet the similar moods, as in after life
they come over us so mysteriously
sometimes. Many time and oft, in
the very whirl of business, in the sum
shine and gayety of Fifth Avenue,
amid the splendor of the drive in Cen
trail Park, some little things wake up in
the memories of early youth the old
mill, the cool spring, the shade-tree by
the little chool-house-and the next
instant we almost see again the ruddy
cheeks, the smiling faces and the merry
eyes of the schoolmates, some gray
headed now; most " lie Wondering in
the grave" And anon, . the song my
mother sang" springs unbidden to the
lips, and soOthes and sweetens all these
memories. AT other times, among the
crushing mishaps of business, merry
ditty of the older time pops out its little
head, breaks in upon the ugly train of
thought, throws the mind into another
channel; light breaks from the cloud in
the sky, and anew courage is given to
us. The honest man goes singing to
his work: and when the days labor is
done, his tools aside, and he is on his
way home, where wife and tidy table
and CHEEKY fireside await him, he can
not help whistle or sing. The burglar
never sings. Moody silence, not the
merry song, weighs down the dishonest
tradesman, the perfidious clerk, the
unfaithful servant, the perjured part

A WOrkman's Risk.

1t is wonderful what risks certain
class of working-men will take to earn a
little money. There are number of
workmen engaged in repairing the
damage done to the Washington monu-
ment by the stroke of lightning last
summer. AS there was only one small
window left at the base of the apex
when the monument was declared COM
pleted, a number of people have Won
dered how the network of rope rigging
which now reaches to the point of the
apex was placed in position. This is
the way the work was done: A strong
board was run out of the window in
question Then a cool-headed work
man climbed out on the board and
stood up straight upon it, and, with a
rope noosed at the end, tossed it up I'M
til he caught it upon the peak of the
monument. After he had this rope
caught he then climbed up, hand over
hand, to the peak and arranged a sliding
support for himself, by which he raised
and lowered himself at will, to twist
the ropes around the top. He did this
work at the enormous height of five
hundred fifty feet as coolly as if he were
working upon the solid ground. Al no
time during his work was he safe if he
had lost his head or presence of mind
for second.-Nec York Slm.

Breyet Turkeys.

Logan, like Sheridan and Gibbon,
was the sworn enemy of stragglers. He
did not want foragers in front or stray
glers behind his command, and he was
quite severe upon offenders. Among
the most incorrigible of the foragers
was an Irishman who knew Logan be-
fore the war, and who presumed little
upon his acquaintance. When other
men were held to strict account in the
matter of leaving the ranks Pat man
aged in some way to have good deal
of freedom in his exploration of the
country for chickens and butter and
eggs. In some way he always managed
to make peace with his immediate SUI
periors. The liberty allowed Pat had a
demoralizing effect on the other men, and
Logan determined to settle the question
himself He told the Irishman plainly
that the next time he saw him outside
of the ranks he would look after his
punishment himself. He wasn't going
to have any freebooter in his command,
and he explained to Pat, with good
deal of emphasis, what he would do
with him. The very next day, as the
general was riding along at the head of
his division, he caught glimpse of the
incorrigible forager in front Patrick
lodged behind some underbrush, but
Logan turned his horse so as to unmask
him. Pat, seeing that he was sure to
be discovered, came forward to meet
the general, and, pointing to some tur.
key buzzards lowering about dead
tree, he asked, " General, what's them?'
Logan frowned and scowled and tried
to look him down. Pats simulated in
terest was too much for him, however
and he said, gruffly, "They're turkey
buzzards." "And sure you are mis-
taken, general" said Pat, they are
brevet turkeys, that's what they are
This cut at brevet appointments sc

horse and rode away, and Pat remained

has been stated that every man must

but as | was given to study this sort of
thing during the war, and to note any
incident that threw light on the subject

can recall them, may be of interest
to old soldiers and others. In the
first battle l was engaged in Gully
IS, 1861, at Blackburn's Ford, Bull
RUM, when our regiment marched out
from the camps at Manassas Junction
the men were like schoolboys out for a
holiday, but, with the exception of my
company (Warrenton Rines), none of
them had ever heard the whistle of a
hostile bullet or seen man killed in
battle. This company was the one that
had repulsed Lieutenant Thompkin
of Company b, Second United States
Regular Cavalry, in his raid on Fair
fax Courthouse some time before.
The men were eager for the fray, and
the route between the Junction and
Bull Run was enlivened by joke and
song. When, about ten A. NJ. the next
day, Ricketts, federal battery began to
search the woods in which we lay in
line of battle, there was an obvious
change in the demeanor of the men.
They became very serious, especially
when the ambulance men came by us
bringing dozen or more of the wounded
of the First Virginia Regiment of our
brigade (Which was ahead of us) on
stretchers. AS far as | can recall my

people; and, if they do not like the
law, then they will either see to it that
it isrepealed, or decline to elect such Off
GERS as will enforce it. 1t will either be
repealed altogether or remain in the
statute-book as a dead letter. Public
sentiment is, in this country, the law
making power; and any law in advance
of it, or against il, is practically of no
force or utility. Those who propose to
correct the evils of society by legisla-
ton must get public sentiment right in
regard to these evils; and then the re-
quisite legislation will be in order, and
not till then. There is no force in
mere statutes printed on paper with

sentiment behind them.-Independent.

The Soldiers Home.

J. S. D., Montpelier, asks: "What
has become of the trustees of the Sol
diers' Home in Vermont, appointed by
the last legislature? Why is it that no
symptoms of progress in the right di-
rection have been shown by the trustees?
Please do as much as to inform its
friends and the soldiers what the neces-
sity is for this delay and silence? If you
can give no valid reason for it, we will
then be in better condition to judge
where the fault lies?" He adds:
Those good men who took that bill in
hand and made it law had no idea
of deferring the matter to this late
day and allowing those men in poverty
and rags to die in the poor-houses of
the state, forgotten and alone. Those
in the poor-houses who fought for the
flag should be permitted to come forth,
at the earliest possible moment, and en-
JOY all that soldiers home can vouch-
safe" Ansuer.-There is no reason for
the delay in establishing the Soldiers
Home in Vermont. The trustees have
betrayed the trust and confidence con-
fided in them by the soldiers and the
state. They have not even completed an
organization and do not know their own
minds. We hope that our correspondent
will succeed in "painting the state
red with indignation at such woeful
neglect on the part of officials toward
the brave but unfortunate soldiers who
are supported in alms-houses. Many
very worthy men come to want and
suffering who should be well provided
with the comforts and support that they
are entitled to at the hands of a CRATE
full community, who are only prevented
from receiving such support by the
neglect of officials to act. The state
gave all the money for this worthy OBJ
ject that its friends asked for. The
people, since the passage of the act in
cooperating the Soldiers Home, have
given money for building soldiers
monuments, decorating soldiers graves
and draping the towns and cities of this
state in mourning for a dead hero
