How . Captains Eye Was Saved.

Long before tho Morse system Of
telegraphy was discovered, messages
were sent all over Europe by means of
. magnetic current. This current was
caused by large coils of wires being
passed from the north to the south side
of the magnet. The one great draw
back to this system was that the dis
tance of circuit could not exceed the
strength of the magnet. so that there
was no possible way of increasing the
current. Not so with the electrical
current. II, so to speak, two batteries
are insufficient. the number can be
doubled and treblcd, until the desider-
atum is obtained. The largest magnet
was kept in the city of Dublin. by which
fair weather messages could be trans
mitted across the channel and some
times as far as Liverpool and London.
This magnet on one occasion did what
was considered at that time an extra
ordinary service. One of the captains
of the Cunard line of steamships, on
his way from this city to Queenstown,
had his eye pierced with sail-needle
carelessly left in the sail by one of the
sailors. Fortunately, the sight of the
cy0 was uOt hdt CPoh
Queenstown the captain sent his vessel
on to Liverpool in charge of the first
officer and proceeded to Dublin, where
a consultation of the most eminent oc-
ulists of the day was held, at the head
of whom was DR.. Wild, oculist to Queen
Victoria. The examination showed
that the captain was in danger of los
I ing his eye if an operation was perform
ed. DIR. Wild hit upon what was look
ed upon as novel method of extract
ing the needle. He had the captain
blindfolded and led in the room where
the huge magnet was. In the presence
of all the faculty he was placed with his
side toward the magnet, so that the
eye containing the needle would be
nearest to it. The keepers were taken
off the magnet, the bandage removed,
and in an instant the broken needle
was clinging to the magnet and the
eyesight saved, The same captain is
still in the service of the Cunard CON-
pany. and can see as far at sea as any
one of his officers or crew.. Y. Mai

Vsmbery. the great Asiatic traveller and
an accredited scientist, told Sheffield,
(England) audience, not long ago, that he
looked upon Herat as the key of India.
He showed how its Importance had been
recognized by Alexander the Great, Gen.
ghis Khan, Tamerlane, and others, who
found they could only take India by first
possessing themselves Of Herat If Rus
sia could take that place, she would obtain
so strong position that she would not be
easily driven out Of it. They might now
ask him what should be done in order to
avert the danger OF war with Russia. The
only thing was to show manly steadiness
and frmness Of character. Russia was
encouraged to 60 where she was by moth
ing else than English forbearance. II
EnglaId's statesmen had not shown that
indulgence towards Russia she would not
have ventured to 20 so far. 1t was most
sinful indulgence. He ridiculed the pro-
possl that England and Russia should d.
vide the spoil, for while England did not
strive after fresh territory, Russia was
striving for India. Russia had spent ESQ.,
600, 700 in the north OF Central Asia, and
she would never be quiet until she got In
dia into her hands. The question was
were the English people willing to give up
India and hand over to men who were un-
ct for the task OF civilization the glorious
bequests Of Give and Hastings2 He did
not believe that. 1t would be the greatest
misfortune to humanity it England
handed over her noble heritage to the bar
barous Russians. He laid particular stress
upon this because on the Continent the

idea that the more colors they put on
the better they look, and the result is
that when they see their photographs

though we always tell them before

In picture than in reality, except
those having clear compilations. Some

Rev. Washington Glsdden, d. D., Of
Columbus, in his address upon newspapers
as related to religious interests, at the
Church Congress, held at Hartford, re-
marked that "the attitude Of the average
editor toward religion was one of calm
superiority" On the whole, however,
Mr.. GLADDEN. stood up well for the growing
tendency Of the best newspapers to give
space and importance to religious facts
and discussion. In the discussion Of the
DR.. Gladden's paper, Rev. Julius H.
Ward declared that 1T is to the secular
press, to the large conception which it
may take Of what is best for Christian So
ciety in America, to its strong affirmation
Of what all men concede to be concrete re-

Christians which . broken Christianity

Mr.. James Boyle, OF the Cincinnati
Commercially Gazette, in his history of Ma
jor Bickham, says he is now worth $780,

in Dayton. This is doubtless true. The
Major has fought good fight, both as a
journalist and business man, and we
doubt whether 100000 would buy him
out in Dayton. In reply to Mr.. Boyle's
question as to whether he thought the To-
cation Of the State Convention at Spring
field would have any effect on the general
vote, Mr.. Bickham answered; None
whatever. The location of a convention
seldom affects the nomination or the sub
sequent vote. AS to Dayton, we have no
Jealousy about the matter. We rather
think Springfield will be bored before she
gets through with the convention. The
only objection ! have to Springfield is that
think it was bad policy to take the con-
vention away from Columbus" Bickhan

Folly OF Wasting Time On Greek.

The archbishop of New York has
been making some sensible remarks at
Liverpool on classical education. and
expressed his astonishment that a
system Of education should be possible
in the present day in which Latin and
Greek are taught, and not English.
Happily there is less necessity for such
protests now than q generation ago,
and the extent of the change which has
come about is shown by the spectacle
of Bishop praising English and sci
ence at the expense OF the classics. No
one wants Latin end Greek to be forgot.
ten, but let them be treated as what
they properly are-playthings and ex-
ercises for scholars, like Sanskrit, He
brew, Anglo-Saxon, and other philo-
logical antiquities. 1t is all very we'll
to talk of the value of literary educa-
ton, but is there not, l should like to
know, as much to enlarge q boys ideas
and train his intelligence in the litera-
lures of France. Italy, Germany, and
England as in all the writings OF the
ancients, Eastern and Western.
We begin at the worst end. Instead
of cramming a child with Latin gram
mar at the age of 6 we ought to teach
him French, German, and Italian while
he is young enough to master the pro-
nunciation correctly. Then, as sort
of extra polish, let HIM, II he has time
and talent enough. study Latin and
Greek, beginning, say. about the age
of 10. If he has no aptitude for these
dead and practically useless languages
let him at once abandon them. BY our
idiotic system we make boy waste the
whole of his schooldays in vainly en-.
deavoring to write languages which he
most probably detests, and then expect
him to pick up French and German as
he best can in the course of long va
cation tour abroad. Iruth.
