PROFESSOR B. T. PowELSoN, Sup't.
why Study Rhetoric?

The tendency Of action is toward ev-
cry day utility. The aim of a parent
to give child sufficient knowledge to
make a liAing, is yet an excuse for
ciphering. reading and spelling only.
In the light of simple usefulness. |
will submit few reasons for the study
of Rhetoric:
First:-To be accurate in expression
Of thought is demanded in the business
world The immediate purpose Of
composition is to teach plain straigl t
forward way of telling what may be
known.
Second:-Agreeableness wins many
customer They, who command Ian
guage to express thought, can WELD
the influence of cheerful conversation
They who enrich their minds by the
thoughts of great thinkers, have the
conservative energy that conquers ad-
versity and keeps cool-headed guard
over passion. To open the field to
such accomplishments is the work of
the teacher of rhetoric.
Third:-The pecuniary interest Of
each individual is intimately associated
with legislative measures. Then of
inestimable money value may it be to
have power TO think on current events
and to understand the trickery of the
politician, the foridity or the orator
and the sober. common sense Of the
statesman. By 40 means, the least of
our work is to lead the =tuGent to in
terpert the thought of others Alright
Fcurth:-To meet emergency is sue
cess Onlv a thinker is equal to all
occasions That which cultivates the
thinking power is commercially ya!ua-
bic. l submit that rhetoric does this
First:-By classification of written
discourse into its various forms.
Second:-By requiring the mind to
tell its experience in It's own way, by
demanding that position on ques-
ton be proven by presenting the arsu-
ments favorable and answering the oh
jections, and by reviewing the work of
some author.
Third:-By the study of literature,
seeking the trut!: and beauty Of poetry's
harmony, as well as acquiring the logic
of proses reasoning. The discipline OF
the mind in doing these daily duties
is conservation of energy to meet the
duties, new occasions will teach. At
ter all it is not so much the knowledge
of books that is Of value as the power
to think. knowledge may be forgot
ten; the power will enfold in thoughts
of greater things

Drowned to Save His Bride.

Patrick Waters was married at st. George,
the County seat of Thomas Tucker County,
w. Va, to a charming young lady of that
town, and for bridal tour the young couple
set out on trip up the Black Fork River.
Arriving at the junction of Skaters Fork,
they stayed all night at the house
of a FRIEND and about eight o'clock
next morning started to cross
the unfinished railroad bridge on a narrow
walk of a single plank. When about half
way over Mrs Waters became dizzy and,
losing her balance, fell into the river. The
stream is very high, and the current, always
violent, vas running aFo1t tw@E-
ty miles an hour.
Waters plunged into the river after his
bride and succeeded in reaching her. Grasp
ing her in his arms he attempted to reach the
shore, but he could make no Roadway against
the violent current and was borne rapidly
away. The heads of the half drowned couple
were seen occasionally as they bobbed above
the waves Half mile below the
bridge at Silas Ferry the boat was in mid
stream as Waters AMI his wife came along,
and they were rescued after one of the ferry
men had nearly lost his life.
Waters was dead when taken from the
water and his wife apparently 50, but she
was revived after unremitting exertions ex-
tending over half an hour.

The Governor of DakOIa Renders His An
uBal Report.

The annual report of Governor Louis K
Church, of Dakota, which has just been
printed, is very full and complete state
ment of the condition and resources of
that Territory. The Governors statis-
tics relating to the population Of Da-
kota will be studied with interest by Con-
gressmen, who will soon be called upon TO
vote on its admission to Statehood. Govern.
or Church says that the population of Dakota
IN 1860, according to the national census of
that year, was less than $780, In 1870
It was 14,181, showing an increase
during that decade of about 200 per
cent In 1880 the number of inhabitants
IN the Territory amounted to 135, 1T, or an
addition OF $50 per cent to the popula-
ton of the previous census and five years
later this number had increased, as shown by
a Federal census, to $40, gain of more
THAN 200 per cent. in the period between the
years 1850 and 1885, There has been no offi-
clal count of the population since the Federal
census of 1885, and the only figures available
for the years 1886, 1887, and 1888 are
estimates, approximately correct, made by
the Commissioner of immigration, and based
on the public land entries as reported by the
ten United States Land offices within the
Territory. On June 80, 1886, the Commits
sioner estimated the number of Dakota's
inhabitants at 500, 900 souls A year later,
June ~, 1887, the same authority gave
Cne Territory population OF 500, Al;
ana his estimate for the year ending
June 80. 1885, indicates a gain of 62, 346,
or total population to-day Of $40, 1923. This,
Oh course, does not include Indians, Govern
ment employees, or the other inhabitants of
the numerous Indian and military reserva-
/ nons which cover one-fifth of the entire area
q OF the Territory. Add these and the whole
number of people within the boundaries of
dakota will appros~S close $4,000.

for the past few days been closing in around
q gang of counterfeiters who have been
the cause of a great deal of annoy

been able to tell the spurious money from

some time, when the coin begins to turn
black, can its true value be discovered.
Large quantities of it have been made, and
Erie Penn, warren, Penn, Oil City, Penn,
and jamestown, N. Y, have been the greatest
sufferers Some of the stnff also reached
Buffalo. Seven of the gang are under arrest.
The authorities thought it best to separate
them, and put them in different jailS as
others are wanted.
esquire" Richardson one of the men who
is said to have attended to the manu- facture
of the money, was brought to Buffalo and
taken to the Erie County Jail. Richardson
is fully sixty years of age, and 1T is thought
he will ''squeal" on the whole party. He
was arrested at Casadaga. N. Y.
More arrests are expected. 1t is impossi-
bic "a get the names of the gang at present,
as they are scattered in the different county
1ails in New York and Pennsylvania, and the
