she could not tell. and Lalu received no
letter. So Tara remained in the school.
and as she was diligent and stuious, she
made good progress in her stuies.
Years passed. with no tidings from Hy-
derabad or Baroda. and the time had come
when Tara's class was to graduate from
the school It was great day for those
young girls. The hall was crowded with
the native gentry of the city. for it was
stiH a novel sight 20 see girls reading and
writing.
A few years before they had said,
when you can teach donkey to read
then you may try to teach our daughters. -
And here were hundred girls who could
read and write and sing and embroiderl
1t was all very wonderful, and they came
out in full force to see with their eyes and
hear with their ears. And the European
officers from the camp, with their wives
and daughters, came also.
As it happened, native chief was Just
then spending a little time In the city.
He had been on a pilgrimage to the holy
city of Benares, and was on his way back
to his province in the South Marathi
country. Hearing that all the best people
would be at the school, he 100 cameto see
what it was like. He was immensely
pleased with the exercises. and could
scarcely find words to express hix appre-
ciation
The girls were arrayed in their most
dazzling garments and jewelry. but Tara
outshone all the rest, for her wedding
robes and jewelry had been kept for this
very occasion. and very pretty she looked,
SO the young chief thought. and as soon
as the exercises were over he came for
ward and asked If he might make the
bright eyed girls acquaintance. He was
shyly greeted by the young girl. and it
was noticed that they spent a. long time

The n. Y. Senate recently passed
a bill which has in it great possibil-
tiles in the way ofmolding the legis-
lation of the future should it become
law. 1t provides that the Judges of
the Supreme Court shall practically
act as counsel to the Legislature, and
shall annually recommend to that
body such changes in the civil and
criminal law as their experience on
the bench may suggest to them.
There is probably not Judge who
sits in General Term who is not
thoroughly competent to point out
the weakness of the laws which he is
called on to construe, and who could
not show the way to strengthening
and improving them, and this bill
is intended to make the special
knowledge of the Judges in this re-
spect available to the Senators and
Assemblymen. The functions ofthe
Judges must be advisory only, for
of course there is no means provid-
ed to make the Legislature act on
their suggestions. But the annual
reports of the Judges would prove in
valuable to the Legislature.-N. \.

1t has come to pass that our par
ty has declared against tariff for
protection. Shall we send to Wash
lngton the men who have heretofore
supported Randall, or shall we send
the men who, like Jno. j. Davis,
Harris and BrannOn, have been
preaching the true faith for the last
fifteen years ? IfCleveland is right,
then some of our politicians have
been misleading their constituents
ever since 1872. We owe lasting
debt Of gratitude to the men who ar
gued against protection when the
tide was running the other way. If
the people are wise, they will not
now stand idle and witness the ma
chine politicians exclude these men
from every place that offers oppor
tunity to carry out the public will,
Be it remembered, the machinery of
party is now manipulated to prevent
the nomination of every man Of
brains who refuses to wear the col
lar.
If this be treason; make the most
of it. What we print is true, and it
is known to be true by every intelli-
gent voter.
