4 SCHOONER has been chartered at Bath,
Me, to carry coal from New York to
San Francisco. If the experiment is
successful number Of schooners will be
built for the trade. It does not speak
well for the transcontinental railways
that sailing vessels may carry freight all
the way around Cape Horn, and still com
pete with them.
CnNAMEs in the United States ars said
TO be highly excited about the exclusion
against those OF their countrymen who
desire to come to America. Some of
them, says the New York Sun, believe
that the Brother of the Sun and Noon
will be enraged beyond restraint, and
even the most intelligent members of
the Chinese colony are looking for hos
tile action on the part Of the Pekin gov
eminent, on account OF the disorimina-
ton that we have made adverse to the
rights Of Cinnamon. The Brother Of the
Sun and Moon will be likely to see the
Stars if he attempts TO play any games
upon Uncle Ssm.
WHEN the Emperor William replied to
the to.st of the Emperor Francis Joseph
he spoke feelngly Of his mission IN
executing tho saered command Of my
grandfather, now resting with Cod
But the incomprehensiblo young man
made no alusion whatever to his father,
whose denth the world deplores. The
commission may have been accidental,

it would have been as easy as it would
have been becoming for the son TO couple
dutiful reference to his father with the
one he made 10 his grandfather.

the girls who have gone home are very
proud that their daughters have been
taught 10 read and write and have learn
ed many things concerning the ways Of
the pale faces. The first thing that the
educated little Indian maid does Is to
transform the lodge of filth into ono that

eau become under the circumstances
By degrees the parents fall into the habits
OF their daughters, first attracted by
curiosity and finally realizing tAa6 civil
LIKED ways are fully as comfortable "a
their own barbarous customs Yet in
spite of all this many pnrents are extreme

out when they are shown the necessity OF
educating their daughters, 40 they can
write letters for them and keep them
from being cheated in making trades
they usually releut. An Indian hates
ab owe all things O be cheated at trade
so that this ia powerful argument.
The institution at Denver is not rich
financially, but it lie doing a valuable work
in laying foundation for civilization

LIGHT

ton has been shaken up in time of peace
as it is now over the publication OF por
tions of tho late Emperor Frederick
diary OF the Frauco-Prussian war. Il
was at frat assumed that so important d
document would not have been gi7en &c
the public without the sanction of th,
present emperor and Prince Bismarck
