From observations made along tho entire
chain of lakes the startling discovery has
been made that tho surface Of all the great
inland seas has been lowered nearly foot
and q half during tho last year. The atten-
ton of vessel men was first drawn to tho fact
that the water was going down last fall,
when numerous and inexplicablo cases Of
vessels grounding were reported From the
middle to tho close Of tho last season Of nnvi-
CATION owners and masters of the larger class
of boats on the lakes werc troubled by the
low stage Of the water. Heavy bills of e1-
pcnsc in releasing grounded vessels and con-
sclucnt costly delays were bornc by owners.
Complaints wero mado of insufficient drcdg-
ing and government engineers expressed
doubt in several cases whcro vessels touched
bottom, especially in tho Detroit river and
in Lake ST. Clair.
The cause of this remarkable state of af-
fairs is mystery. Whether some immense
subtcrrancan outlet has suddenly been af-
forded for tho vast body Of water crwhothcr
the tributary streams have been affected by
drought is matter for scientific men to de-
terminc. Tho opening of navigation viii be
looked forward to with interest Cleveland

The meaning of these figures is this: II
there were no tax or tariff on sugar, that
for which we now pay cents per pound
would cost US about 4! rice that now costs
us 10 cents, would cost less than 5 an over
coat that now costs $50 could be bought for
$11; common shawl that now costs S.
could be bought for $275 and a pane of glass
that costs quarter, could be bought for less
than cents. Let the people study carefully
over these things and then make up their
minds as TO which is right-the Republican
party, which wishes to keep up these war
taxes, or the Democratic party, which is
struggling to reduce them?

This morning when all the rest had gone down.
stood by the window to see
The beautiful pictures which there in the night
Jack Frost had been making for me.
There were mountains and wint-mills and
bridges and boats,
Some queer looking houses and trees.
A hammock that swung by itself in the air,
And giant cut off at tho knees.
Then there was a steeple so crooked and high,
was thinking IL surely must fall,
When right down below 1t happened TO spy
The lovclest thing OF them all.

And she stood there as dainty and looked back at
me,
In a little white ulster and hood.
GOOD morning." whispered. for all in a fash

| was so glad to have her come visiting me,
reached up quite softly and kissed her.
There : can you believe it ?-the darling was
gone
Killed dead in that one little minute!
Ineyer once dreamed that kiss would do that,
Nor could there be any harm in it.
But am so sorry for though have looked
Fifty times at that window since then,
Half hoping to see her once more, yet know
She can never come back again.

Mr.. Thurman, Democratic candidate
for Vice President, once said in public
speech:
my friends, you will never have
any genuine reform in the civil service
until you can adopt the one-term prin-
ciple in reference 10 the Presidency.
As long as the incumbent can hope for
second term, he will use the immense
patronage of the Government to procure
his denomination and secure his re-elec-
ton. The Presidential Office is no lon
ger, in the estimation Of many, great
public trust, but is merely q personal
privilege and a means Of rewarding
parasites and partisans and maintaining
party"
And the following is President CIeye-
lands opinion on the same subject:
When we consider the patronage of
this great Office, the allurements of pow
er. the temptation to retain public place
once gained, and, more than all, the
availability party finds in an incum-
bent whom q horde of oficeholders,
With zeal born OF benefits received,
and fostcred by the hope of favors yet
to come, stand ready to aid with money
and trained political service, we recog-
nize in thee Eligibility Of the President
for reelection a most serious danger TO
that calm, deliberate and intelligent
political action which must characterize
II government by the people,"
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Let us take both these gentlemen at
| their word.

Swarthmore College, an institution for
young men and women, in charge of the
Religious Society of Friends, held its six
teenth annual Commencement on the 18th
Of June. President Edward III. Magill in
his address at the close of the exercises,
showed that the college was making de-
cided advance In the cause of education,
and that 1t was an institution worthy the
pride felt in 1t by it's friends. Ithas long
been desired that some of the leading
Professorships should be adequately en-
dowed. AS q beginning q general sub.
scription was started year ago to endow
at least one Professorship, to be selected
by the Board Of Managers. Friends
throughout the whole country have taken
great interest in the success of the effort,
with the result that the ends attained far
surpass what was hoped for. The general
subscription secured sums Of money from
200 persons, enough to endow the Pro-
fessorship of Mathematics aud Astrono-
my to the amount of $4,000. Ia add
ton three individual endowments of $40,
900 each have been made, as follows: /.
v. Williamson, of Philadelphia, 1.-THE l.
v. Williamson Professorship Of Civil and
Mechanical Engineerine;" Joseph Whar-
ton, of Philadelphia, "The Joseph Whar-
ton Professorship of History and Political
Economy" and Isaac II. Clothier, OF
Philadelphia, "The Isaac III. Clotbier
Professorship of the Latin Language and
Literature"
1t is seldom that college secures at
one time four fully endowed Professor
ships, and Swarthmore Colleges ability
to furnish liberal education at moder-
ate cost to the student has been greatly
increased.
