The English nratron Abroad.

The Englishman on his travels is the stand
ing butt of the witty Partisan, but the Eng
lish woman at least seems to be quite match
for the average Frenchman. \ lady of in
teresting appearance called the other morn
ing on q jeweler in Paris, and after pur-
chasing a bracelet presented a go note in
payment, from which she received change
amounting to nearly IS and went away.
The French, though they may despise things
English, have a liking for English bank
notes, especially when they have not had to
pay for them at the current rate of exchange.
So the jeweler gayly stepped around to his
banker to get his 20 and odd francs. And
when he arrived, the banker pointed out that
the note wGs-not a forgery, not even draft
on the bank of elegance, but an order dated
nearly fifty years back and signed by one F..
Duck, on an institution styled the Bank of
Engraving, which entitled the holder TO some
pictures 1t IS difficult not admire the daring

Small wonder that the owners of racing
yachts need some creature comfort on board,
for on race days every bit of coal is put on
shore to Tighten the ship" and collatious are
the order of the day. In some yachts even
the cabin furniture is taken out during a
race, and every bit of superfluous weight Is
removed-boats, davits, the heaviest anchor,
etc. No idlers are allowed on board, either.
If guest is invited on a racing yacht in one
of these close and exciting contests it is with
the understanding that he is to help the crew
in order 10 make up for his weight. In
other words, the crew is n Corinthian one;
everybody is at least expected to haul in on
the main sheet" The forward part of u
racing yachts deck is n wilderness of ropes,
although it is n very orderly wilderness, in
which every foot of rope is carefully cooled
and put in its own particular place.
Yacht sailors have pretty easy, comfort
able time of it, may he imagined-and yet
many of them do not like the life. They long
for the perils and excitements of the deep sea
sailing, when they have once become used to
it, and beg to be allowed to return to the
ocean. Indeed, the destination of "a yacht is
largely "harboreal," and what with contrary
winds and equally perverse Gains, with the
constantly recurring necessity of shipping
more water, and new supply of ice, the
ocean wave gets good deal neglected -BoS-

A Distin~lished scientists Views.

Sir Jo..l g. w. Hers hel, in n lecture on
earthquakes published about ten years ago,
calls attention 10 the enormous quantities OF
matter ;hat are carried 70 the ocean by rivers
or are washed from the coast, and says that
in order TO CoUntcvaCt this earthquakes are
constantly occurring in some locality. The
key 20 the whole affair is to be found III the
central heat of the earth. This is no Scen-
titc dream nor theoretical notion, but n fact
established by direct evidence up to certain
point, and standing out from plain facts 4
matter of unavoidable conclusion in hun
dred WAYS.
The bottom Of the Pacific ocean is sinking,
in point Of fact. Not that the ocean is be
coming deeper, but the ...,ole bed OF the sea
is in the act of being pressed down by the
laying on OF new solid substance over its bot
tom, the actual bel being the same distance
from the surface of the water. 1t is impos-
sible but that this increase Of pressure in
some places and relief il Others must he very
unequal in their bearing, 50 that ut some
place or other this solid floating crust must
be brought into a state of strain, and if there
be n weak or soft spot, a crack will ut last
take place.-Boston Transcript.

The war of the rebellion the Chicago fire
and the panic of 1878 had the effect of render
ing worthless a very large proportion of the
pledges made at the inception of the enter
prise and from these bic vs. the university has
never rallied.
Dr. Burroughs was succeeded in the presi-
dency by the Rev. Lemuel Moss, Hon.
AIonzo Abernethy and Rev. Galusha Ander-
son, respectively. The latter gentleman made
heroic efforts to stem the tide of adversely,
by personal solicitation, but the task was too
great, and he gave way. At this time the
property was laboring under an incumbrance
of $500, 600 and the Union Mutual Life In
surance company, who held the mortgage
was finally compelled to take possession of
the property. During the past few years
efforts at redemption have been put forth
anew, but the board of trustees have finally
decided to close the institution. 1t is thought
the property may be purchased and re-estab-
lished as an undenominational college,
though it is reported that the property will
be purchased by Archbishop Feehan and
turned into a Roman Catholic college.
And so the vicissitudes of time-cival war,

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
An Institution of Historical Interest-The
Douglas Monument.

douglas MOnument.
Away back in 1855, Hon. Stephen A. Doug
las proposed to donate the site for a university
upon lands owned by him in Cottage Grove,
then somewhat south of the city of Chicago
proper. Rev. j. c. Burroughs, then pastor Of
the First Baptist church, negotiated with Mr..
Douglas. hoping to secure the establishment
of the institution under the auspices of the
Baptist denomination, and an arrangement Of
that character was entered into, ten acres of
ground near Lake Michigan fronting ON Col
lege Grove avenue, being donated for tho
purpose, on the condition that a building to
cost not less than S1OO, 900 should be erected
thereon within specified time Ample
pledges Of money were obtained, and on July
4, 1857, the corner stone of Chicago university
was laid, addresses being made on the occa-
sion by Mr.. Douglas, Hon. i. n. Arnold and
several contemporaneous divines of promi-
hence. The institution was formally opened
the year following, Rev. j. c. Burroughs be
ing the first president, position he held con
tinuously for fifteen years.

his country in the field of practical chem

His life has been a singularly peaceful
one He has no enemies. His beloved and
devoted wife died twenty years ago, since
which time he has lived alone with his
work. He is a very light eater, and ex-
tremely regular in his habits. To this he
partly attributes his long life While he is

Work the Swiss woman Doe,

Henry Watterson writes to the
Louisville Courier-Joarnal: "The
stranger in Switzerland will be struck
at once by the beauty of the country
and the ugliness OF the women.
Here Nature seems to have spent
herself upon inanimate objects and to
have had no material left for humani-
ty which she composed out of the
debries left over after she had con-
structed the mise en- scene. A pref
ty face, native to and the manner
born, is rarely, il ever seen upon the
streets of Berne. The woman APP
pear to do all the work. 1t is not
unusual to see girl and a dog hitch.
ed to cart trotting along together
like pair of ponies. The men, great
strapping fellows idle and lazy, loaf
about the brasseries. Their wives,
daughters and sisters till the fields
supply the markets. The dog,the goat
and the COW perform the offices COM
monty performed in other lands by
the horse the OK and the mule. The
bear is sacred animal. So is the
lion. The donkey does fancy duty at
the summer resorts. But there is
nothing to which the Swiss woman
may not turn her hand from milking
goat to saving cord of wood and
drawing a loan of hay. She is put
to work in her child hood and be-
fore she reaches her maturity she
looks like q grandmother, wrinkled
and weather beaten, bent and care
worn. This circumstance appearing
at every turning and written upon
each countenance leaves q painful
impression and discredits the nation
al character. A people SO independ
emit and so brave so unaffected and so
frugal as the Swiss are admitted to
be, ought to be gentler."
