scotIand,s pepopulated Highlands.

There are few Highland glens that
do not contain traces of the banished
population. In Lochaber, along the
shores of Loeb Arkaig, the home of the
clan Cameron, the remains of what
were once extensive townships may yet
be seen. The celebrated Glencoe form
erly teemed with hardy population.
Famous Glengarry is sheepwalk, and
the powerful clan mcdonnell are now
in Canada. Round Fort Augustus and
far into the country of the clan Fraser
is naught but dessolation. In hun
dreds Of straths in Rosshire the wild
heather has not even yet obliterated
the green pastures aud the cultivated
fields that once belonged to the Mac
kenzies and Munroes, and from where
the different battalions of the gallant
Rosshire bluffs marched to conquer at
Nadia, at Seringapatam, at Assave and
Argaum. So late as 1S49, when the
present Prime Minister had already
obtained political eminence. Hugh
Miller attempted, but fruitlessly, to
draw the attention of the British pub
lie to the work of destruction that was
going on. He eloquently proclaimed
that while the law is banishing its tens
| for terms of seven and fourteen years,
the penalty of deepdyed crimes, ire
sponsible and infatuated power is ban
ishing its thousands for life for no crime
whatever. A large number of the dis
possessed tenantry were sent TO Amer
| lea; the remainder settled on the sea-
shore, where they were cramped into
small buildings, and have since lived.
The tourist steaming along the wild
coast of the Western Highlands and
islands may see perched on every cliff,
in the most exposed situations and sub
| ject to the fury of Atlantic gales, the
wretched hamlets that now contain the
remnants of the Highland clans. Prob
ably he will wonder how a population
can at all manage to exist under such
conditions. But there they are, ell
bowed to the verge of their country.
| For large tracts Of that country the
proprietors even now can show no scrap
of document, their claims TO possession
resting solely on the fact that they have
never been contested. Hated and
looked upon, like the foxes, as mere
vermin that interfere with sport, dis
couraged and thwarted in every direc-
ton, the people, Notwithstanding their
poverty and the hardships of their lot,
have maintained unimpaired the no
blest attributes of their race. Crime
of any kind is almost unknown among
them. Their moral standard is the
highest in Britain, contrasting in that
respect most remarkably with their
Lowland neighbors, and not few of
the leading British statesmen, lawyer,
divines, and soldiers of the last eighty
years first saw the light in these croft
ters' uts-.Nineteeath Century.

DR.. James McC osh, president Of the
Princeton college, does not look with
favor upon the radical changes In the
old collegiate system which Lave been
made at certain institutions OF learning
in this country, of which Harvard is the
most conspicuous example. In his re-
port to the trustees OF his college DIR.
McCosh says: "Some, not many. of
the American colleges are seeking to
draw students by giving them, younger
as well as older, an almost unlimited
choice of subjects through all the years
of their course. This in my opinion Is
fundamental mistake. Everyone ac-
quainted with college secrets knows
that there are students who show un-
common skill in the choosing among
the electives the subjects which require
the least expenditure of thought and at
tention and that professors are tempted
to give high grading marks without ex-
acting rigid study. met not long ago
with student OF q distinguished col
lege who in his senior year was content
ing himself with taking two branches
of epochal history with art and music.
When such q state OF things is al
lowed and encouraged, / hold
that the education given, 30 far from
being an advance upon that given to our
fathers, is q retrogression, as in the
older colleges they required solid
knowledge of higher branches-which
is true, / may add, of some of our small
er colleges at this day. / hold that
there are branches rudimentary and
fundamental, which have stood the test
of time, fitted to call forth the deeper
and higher faculties of the mind, and
opening the way to farther knowledge,
which all should be required to study.
Such in language are the classical
tongues, with certain European ones, and
above all our own tongue; all of these
with their literatures. Such in science
are mathematics, physics, chemistry,
and certain branches of natural history.
Such in philosophy are the study of the
human mind psychology, logic, ethics,
and political economy. A young man
is not literally educated who has been
allowed to omit any of these; and GER
tain of them should be required in
every year of tho course to keep the
mind from being dissipated and wasted"

China Within the Great Wall.

OF the ancient Great Wall, only a
low rampant remains, with square tow
ers diminishing towards the top.
These towers are generally placed on
the SUBMITS of the mountains across
which the wall winds. assembled one
of them, the better to contemplate the
view, but had no one with whom to
share oil the admiration that felt at
this moment. 1t is quito impossible to
describe all that the eye took in
mountains, valleys, gorges, grass-cov-
cred slopes, pastures, farms, lakes.
The presence of man is to be felt; not
of the local villages or town life, but
the life Of O great state. To the east, O
superb valley dotted over with Chinese
villages, surrounded with bushes and
trees; farther off, on several levels.
chains of mountains, the tops Of which
were on level with my eyes. To the
west the ground undulates gradually
towards the plain, beyond which are
more mountains. On the south, mag
nificent pasture-land, intersected by the
Great Wall with its ruined towers On
our right, the Great Wall cracked and
destroyed by centuries, and covered
with plants; on our left, slope towards
the plain. laid out in artificial terraces,
with fields of millet, oats, potatoes, and
hemp. As TO the Chinese. they are to
seen everywhere, with long plaits and
bareheaded, attired in white shirt and
blue trousers. The women are scantily
clothed, and the children, whose heads
are decked with flowers, are naked, or
nearly SO. What strikes one most is
the sudden transition from the barren
est desert of yesterday to fertile and
populous country of to-day. 1t seems
like q never-ending village of small
houses, covered with verdure, gardens
and flowers, the whole extremely tidy
and pleasant to the eye. This, then, is
that swarming human ant-hill, China.
