A good story comes from boys board

notonous and constipating, and the learned
Principal decided to introduce some old
style physic in the apple-sauce, and await
the happy results. One bright lad, the
smartest in school, discovered the secret
mine in his sauce, and pushing back his
plate shouted to the pedagogue, "No

A Curious, Motley Collection of People in
Search of Pure Air and Sunshine.
Elizabeth 3. Clusters Catskills letter.
To eat your dinner and not let one OF the
900 guests who pass you going down the
long diningroom escape your notice requires
gymnastic action that is difficult There
is no use trying to describe the curious,
motley collection OF people. Many come in
with sun hat and walking dress, the men in
corduroys and knickerbockers. AT supper
occurs the real dress parade Such clothes
and such diamonds, the lattor ingeniously

Among the collection from all over the

The English Language in India.


A short time back Mr. Bright delivered a
speech welcoming the marquis of Ripon
back to England. Mr.. Bright said that he
wa glad to learn that our noble English
language, the language of Milton, was be-
coming better know in India and was
spreading to the massei of the people.
The other day, happening to be walking
by the barracks, received striking proof
of the correctness OF Mr. Bright's assertion.
Three very small native boys we're having
an improvi ed game of cricket. The wicket
was represented by piece of board 70 ting
against a large stone, the bat was splint
from some old box, and thu ball was old
and angular. This day was hot, and
the three little crcketers hal dis
penied with cricketng costume In
fact they had nothing on but the shiny
brown skin with which kind mother nature
had endowed them at their birth. But they
played the game with the utmost earnest
ness and vigor, as they hal oft IN seen sol
diers firing outside the barraclS. "Pla-a-a-ylp
shouted the bowler, as he delivered the ball
from a distance OF about five yards.
@Houtlp exclaimed the wicket-keeper Joy

DEMOCRATIC newspapers possessing
visible amount of independence are Just
now reading homilies to the party on its
sins and shortcomings. The following
samples from the Chicago Herald will do
to represent the lot:
"When the Democratic party went ont
of power in 1861 it was split into many
fragments. It's division, as a matter of
fact, put it out of power. Had the mil
lions of men in all parts of the country
who called themselves Democrats in
1860 been united on a policy Republican
success would have been impossible at
that time and there would have been no
war. Charged at the outset with carry
ing on the government when it was as
sailed by domestic foes the Republicans
the 4th of March, 1885, whether right or
wrong, with big or small majorities, and
under every conceivable circumstance,
that party was practically unit i'm Con-
gress. If individuals thwarted it for a
time they were speedily disposed of,
and everything that it undertook to do,
save the impeachment of Johnson, was
accomplished Mt one time or another.
Now the Democratic party has returned
to power in about the same condition
as when it was thrust out. Possessing in
1860 a majority of more than q million
votes in the country, il permitted itself
to be beaten by a compact and well or
ganized minority. Enjoying now the
possession of the Government, the con-
troll of more than One-half of the States,
IL large majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives and majority of tho votes OF
the Republic, it is still no disunited that
it cannot pass revenue bill in Congress
which the Republican minority disap-
proves of, and it disagrees with its own
administration 80 radically that it has
adopted resolution which amounts t.
Il vote ofcensure.upon the President and
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t refuses to
do what the President and Secretary
wish it to do relative to the revenues
and they will refuse to do what it wishes
them to do relative to the finances. Sc
situated what is to be expected of it, an(
