Sam Jones on His Critics.

Slang is not offensive unless it is

that's offensive to Northern ears, but
the fact is you people in Chicago

hear how he murdered rhetoric? l

Robinson CrusOe's Island.

The island of Juan Fernandez,
upon which Alexander Selkirk, the
prototype of Robinson Crusoe, spent
his four solitary years, has never
since been inhabited until II years
ago, when the present Governor
Rodt settled upon it with a small
colony. Rodt is Switzer. In 1866
he fought for Austria against the
Prussians, and in 1870 for France.
After the defeat of the French he
emigrated to Chill and made himself
useful to the Government at whose
invitation he undertook the coloni-
cation of Robinson Crusoe's lonely
island. Here he has resided for the
last IL years as Governor and Judge.
Most of the settlers over whom he
presides are German and Swiss.
Nearly all the vegetation of the
temperate zone thrives upon Juan
Fernandez

Country School Houses.

Duties of various kinds have led
the writer to see many school houses
in the country this winter They
are mostly a picture of desolation.
Treeless surroundings full of last
years weed tops sticking above the
snow, is a yard less cared for than a
barn yard. Buildings set upon posts,
and open UNDER with the wind whist
ling in at every crack Inside q
stove as innocent of backing as q
pile of old iron, coal box that Sits
its contents on the floor, and a door
which opening lets cold air full of
rheumatism and asthma in directly
on the pupils backs. If boy culture
were half as well understood as pig
culture, or was deemed half as profit
able, the schoolrooms and premises
would be the most attractive places
to be found in the community. Send
Il boy to such a school, taught by a
new teacher every term, let him re-
turn each evening to bookless fire.
side, where he hears of nothing but
corn and cattle, and where no pains
are taken to furnish him with inno-
cent amusements, and then wonder
why he seeks the city as soon as
he can cut the proverbial apron
string.
One great reform is demanded.
Farmers can easily understand the
advantage of keeping the same hired
help from season to season. Why
does not the same common sense
guide them in the employment of
teachers? There is scarcely school
district to be found that is not able
to employ man or woman for eight
months in the year. Then let them
find the right one, let him make his
home in the district, and be made to
feel that his work is permanent
one, by paying him living wages and
by assisting him, and offering the
needed encouragement, and give him
to understand that part of his
work is to keep the school house in
an attractive condition, and furnish
him the needed assistance in per-
forming his duty.
OF late it has grown quite popular
to haul up the teacher and fetch
him or her generally herr over the
Goals for almost every idle complaint.
School directors should hear and di-
gest these complaints, and when the
fault is real, kindly point out the
faults. Teachers try hard to please.
The curse is that they are too often
subject to the criticism of, and their
reputation is in the hands of those
who know more about the qualities
of a calf than of a good teacher.
There is great need for reform in
school houses and school directors.

THE TWO SANS.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Referring to
the tobacco question, Sam Jones
said in his sermon last night: My
good friends say tobacco is sin,
and | am happy to announce to the
audience that before breakfast Sun
day morning Brother Small took all
of his stock on hand, threw it on the
CRATE and burned the whole thing up.

a sin, but they kept after me about it

wards people, and l have given it up
forever" Applause.
"As soon as l ever have that sort
of a feeling in my heart am going to
give it up too. | would run over any
thing in earth or heaven that would
make me feel unkind towards any
human being in his world. If you
believe anything is sin give it up.
If anything harms or hurts you give

Second Comptroller Maynard has

Thereof, and was actually mustered

a Correspondent Disc asses the
Proprietv of Erecting n
New Building.

To the Editor of the NEw DOMINION.
We desire to say few words in
reply to an article that appeared in
the Post of March goth. We feel
the spirit move us" and we must
speak in behalf of the people, even
at the risk of being called consti-
tutional objector; for we would
rather sail under that banner, than
as famous alarmist or spend
thrift.
We think that the author of said
article had an AK to grind, in the
way of building a new court house
This much like the fable of the
hungry, but sympathetic wolf, that
called early every morning to see
the sick mule, to inquire after its
health, hoping each time, to find the
mule dead, that he might breakfast
on its carcass.
Mr.. Editor, why not have those
pleading for new court house put
the matter plainly? Why not stick
to it that our present court house is
not the kind of a building for the
people of Monongalia to main
tain?
Why not say plainly that it is not
good enough; not fine enough for
us?
Why not say we want court
house to ornament our town? Not
so much for service as to look at.
We, personally, do not care,
whether new court house is built
or not. But we call your attention
to the depressed financial condition
of our county, caused by our farmers
having had to keep their stock
through long and severe winters,
extensive, dry summers, causing
them to expend more for purchasing
and preparing for market, than they
receive for said stock when sold;
most of this money is sent away
from home and never all replaced;
also notice how the sheriff is being
pushed for money overdue, and OBJ
serve the ACCESSIBILITY (?) of such a
step now.
The taxpayers of our community
are ready and will eheerfully aid in
building new court house when
ever competent judges inspect the
old one and deem it proper to do
so.
These are about the sentiments of
most of the taxpayers in this sec
ton.

Haneock's Love for the Little Ones.

All things small and weak loved
General Hancock. The children on
Governors Island adored him. They
swarmed over his house, and when
Mrs. Hancock protested mildly
against their being permitted to romp
in the drawing rooms General Han
cock took it 80 much to heart that
she yielded.
1t was in vain that officers wives
on the island forbade their children
to go so often to the. Hancock house,
thinking they might be troublesome.
They would go and stand before the
gate, pressing their little wistful
faces against the iron railing until
they caught sight of General Han
cock. He would have the whole
gang inside the gate in a minute.
IF your mothers say anything to
you,' he would say, 'just tell them
that l am Major General Hancock,
and ! won't allow my authority ia
be disputed here"

One Of Pasteur's Patients IDies
In Terrible Agony.

PARIS, March 23.-One of the wolf
bitten Russians, who recently came
here and was treated by M. Pasteur
to prevent rabies, died last night
in great agony, with all the symp-
toms of hydrophobia. M. Pasteur is
not at all dismayed by the failure of
his treatment in this case.
The Russians arrived here and
were placed under Pasteur's care on
March 18th. They were Mujiks,
and were nineteen in number. All
had been attacked by mad wolves
and terribly lacerated. Pasteur
willingly undertook to treat them,
and at once placed them in his hos
pital. The man who died had been
carefully operated upon and regu-
larry inoculated with virus twice a
day since his arrival. His terrible
death with all the symptoms of n.y.
drophobia in its worst form has seri-
ously checked confidence in the ef-
fectiveness of Pasteur's discovery.
The first positive indications that
the patients system was resisting
treatment manifested themselves on
the Sunday after he had been in the
hospital five days. He soon after
wards became a victim of the most
terrible suffering, and this seemed to
be increased up to his death, which
occurred while the man was mad
and wild with physical torture. The
corpse has been removed to Pasteur's
laboratory, where it will be made the
subject of examination by the
scientist.
M. Pasteur is much annoyed by
the unfavorable comments caused
by this failure of his method, but he
insists that it establishes moth
ing.
