thi. was the end sought by the petitions,
and is the usual aud most direct way of
attaining the object in view, am in favor

LOOK DEEP.

Sometimes the dazzling insect with its form
of perfect beauty,
Has the deadllest OF poisons In its sting;
Sometimes the venomed serpents are con-
ceaed in greatest numbers
Where the sweetest flowers ana why cur
tains cling;
While the pure and waxen blossom that we
value overmuch
May have death and desolatiOn in its odor
or its touch.
Sometimes the plainest plumage covers DER
the sweetest warbler
That has ever tuned It's anthems for the
heart;
Sometimes the darkest mine conceals the
greatest store of treasure,
And the gem is oft disguised with rudest
art;
Some homely things are priceless, and behind
the rough outside
Are concealed the rarest objects of our graft
tude and pride.
The glossest of blessings and the most at
tractive Joys
May hide sorrow in their grace concealed
The things we highly value often prove but
children's toys
When the hollow in their substance is re
vealed;
So we value toy balloons well padded out witt
shining sin,
And globes of downy pleasure that are dyna
mite within.
Too oft we gaze at sorrow, and its sombel
garb of woe,
Our eyes turned from the glimmer at it
heart;
The soul oft chills and hardens till, with deel
affections blow,
The workman breaks its fettered scale
apart.
The ministers of sorrow are the messenger
of rest;
And hearts that know its purpose are the one
supremacy best.
The purest light-reflector is the prism of
tear,
The heavens in pools of sorrow mirror deep
The trust that leads to patience is begottel
from our fear,
And tender spirits come to those who weep
The death angels from evil many thoughtles
souls beguile,
And sorrow when transplanted into Heavel
becomes smile.
The most enchanting vanity may blast beyon
relief,
The peace of God may blossom from the min
istry of grief.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

There are twenty persons whose
gifts to American colleges aggregate
over 1928, 100000.
In May, 1883, the Baptist Church
at Denison, Tex, was destroyed by a
cyclone. Recently the new building on
the same lot was almost, if not entirely,
ruined by cyclone.
The fault with most of the books
used in the schools. particularly OF
United States history, is that they are
too dry and chronological. They re-

with stories and lively descriptions of
the animals themselves indianapolis

Prof A. S. Hill, speaking of the to-
dious mediocrity which characterizes the
compositions of college students, says
thar one year, after reading two or three
hundred compositions on 1.-The Story Of

profound ignorance of both plot and

The movements of the Methodist

How rapid progress the women
of the South are making in the matter
of education is well shown in the Uni
versity of Mississippi. 1t was but few
years ago that this university was
thrown open to girls; but in that time
they have forced themselves to the
front, and this year they won all the
prizes. A young lady takes the first
honors, and will consequently be the

OLD FORTS AND TRADING TOsTs.
Among the objects Of interest to u

Cook, the latter built in 1856 and the
former in 1871; the sites Of which are
not half a mile apart. This was great

Gros Ventres and River Crows, and in
later years with the Blackfeet and

The Pacific Mail Will Join the

NEW YORK, April 15.-The board of
directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company met yesterday and have just ad-
journed after adopting a resolution declar-
ing dividend of l a per cent. for the quar-
ter ending May l. The statement showed
that the company had earned for the cur
rent quarter at the rate Of 81 per cent. per
annum. Mr.. Gould offered a resolution
which was unanimously adopted, to the
effect that if the Pacific Steamship oppo-
sition was withdrawn the Steamer company
would enter the Trgnscontinental pool and
cooperate with the railroads between New
York and San Francisco. Various reports
have been in circulation in Wall street dur
ing this forenoon to the effect that the
Union Pacific company had made some
arrangements for the cancellation of its
floating debt President Adams
who is now in this city, admits that negoti-
ations are pending, but says that they are
not yet in shape to be made public. He
says the Union Pacific floating debt is in
excellent condition and the company has on
hand in cash $1,000, 900, but he suggests
that it might be desirable to change the
character of the floating debt and intimates
that arrangements are being made to sell
some of the securities now in the hands of
the company. On this account the stock
has been very strong and rose from a to
