education calls out the powers quite
as much as any other kind OF educa-
ton. | do not wish, since | have
no incentive in the first place, and it

that an industrial education gives as

to do is to develop himself along
the line of least resistance, as we say
scientifically, and that is along the
line of his tastes If this be done his
work will not be irksome to him, and
work which is irksome is seldom well

INDUSTRIAL CAREERS.

The professions to day are, in
deed, over-crowded, and many of
our young men are turning their
backs upon them for an industrial
career. A gentleman prominently
connected with the Institute of Tech
nology said: There is a general
belief that young man who enters
this or a similar school in preference
to receiving a classical education,
sacrifices, for the sake of practical
knowledge, a mental culture and
development which he could only
get through a classical education.
Now, in my mind, this is not at all
so. l would send my child to an
industrial school in preference to
Harvard or Yale, if my sole object
was that he should simply get the

stirred up the quiet, easy-going town of
Souderton, in the upper end of Mont
gomery CO., Pa, occurred about two
weeks ago. That incident has made
Mrs. Benjamin Meyer, aged IT years,
the happiest old lady in the State of
Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, Novem-
Der 6, while Mrs. Meyer was eating a
hearty supper she was taken with sud-
den attack of embollsm an affection
of the nervous system, which providen-
TALLY gave to her the greatest boon she
ever received, and temporarily restored
her lost eye-sight. The village doctor
was Immediately summoned, and the
prostrated old lady was removed to her
bed.
Mrs. Meyer during the past four
years been totally blind, owing to the
infrmlty of her age. On Saturday,
November 10, after four days of con-
fnement to bed, she opened her eyes
early in the morning and suddenly ex-
claimed: "Mein Gott in Himmil, l
see !" Her husband, whose age is 73
years rushed to her and he was imme-
diately recognized. The whole house
hold fastened to the woman's bedside
and beheld a verifcation of her state
ment. She also saw the dishes through
the glass case of a cupboard, which
stood at the end of the bed, and then
suddenly crying out and pointing in the
direction OF an old armchair, said
"Oh See, there is my old armchair
and its head-rest, with flowers painted
on it ! There is the picture of the Ger
man village scene, with its troop of
laughing maldens and lovers r'
Mrs. Meyer then asked to see her
children and grandchildren, twenty five
in number, and calling them by name
to her bedside described miuutely the
articles and dress they wore. She then
told that she had prayed last summer
as her last wish on earth to see her
childred and grandchildren once more,
and that she believed this was the full
6llment of her prayer. On Sunday the
people of the neighborhood swarmed
to Mrs. Meyers house, and they were
soon convinced of the truth of the re-
ported miracle. Before the day had
closed she ever and anon exclaimed
"This is the last Sunday that | shall
ever have the use of my eyesight."
When the old lady awakened on Mon
day morning she found that her sense
OF vision had gone, and remained so
since. Mrs. Meyer and her husband
live in a quaint old farmhouse, built
about eighty years ago, situated on the
Souderton turnpike. They have lived
together in the old structure nearly fifty
years. Up to November Mrs. Meyer
was the most rugged and healthy lady
for her age IN Fanconia township. She
is now perfectly contented and at ease
since she was providentially granted the
privilege of seeing her children and
grandchildren before she dies.-PhiAa.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY Ii, 1888.
Semi eek|y
A WORD WITH THE FARMER.

As spring is approaching and the far
mel is now making his calculations for
the seasons work, the Tribune has a word
to offer. There will be a good home mar
ket at Great Falls and vicinity for every
product of the soil and the farmers of
this region should profit by this favora=
BILE circumstance. Every pound Of grain
and vegetables that will be grown on the
rich soil of northern Montana this year
will command a good price in the home
market, and unless extra exertions are
made by the %ranchmen the supply will
not be equal to the demand. The hun
'dreds of men to be employed at the coal
mines, the reduction works and other en-
terprises here will make gardening in
this vicinity a profitable undertaking, and
we hope to see many engage in the same
extensively.
The outlook is as bright as could be
wished for the farmers of northern Mon
tana and it should prompt them to greater
diligence and industry. Faithful work
on the farm this season is almost certain
to be amply rewarded. There should be
a much larger acreage Of every crop than
ever before, and certainly there is all
needed encouragement for the opening of
new farms and the expansion all along
the line of the agricultural industry. An
other thing to be urged is early seeding.
The ranchman who is up and rustIing,
and has his crops in at the earliest posi-
BILE date stands a much better chance of
securing a bountiful harvest han his
slow-going and careless neighbor who
postpones this work until late in the sea-
son. The successful Montana farmer
must be an early ploWer and seeder. This
is the time to think of these things, and
the Tribune offers the suggestions in the
hope that many will profit by them.

CAPTAIN TAYLoR's REPORT.

Captain Taylor says that the convention
was a great success and would do credit
to any state in the Union. The conven-
tion, he says, did we'll to make Lee Man
tie chairman, as that showed the union
of Helena and Butte in defense of our
mining rights. Able speeches were made
by Col. DeLacey, O'Bannon of Deer
Lodge. Irvine Of Butte, Gen. Harris and
T. G. Merrill, who showed that the North
ern Pacific is trying stealthily to grab
a large part of Montana's mineral land.
The resolutions, continued captain Taylor,
are clear and forcible. One ef them
says: ssIn our opinion, it is not only the
interest Of the people of the territory Of
Montana, but the inherent right Of all
citizens Of the United States to have the
mineral lands of the public domain left
free from cloud or private ownership, for
full, free and unlimited exploration by
any and all citizens under the laws re-
lating to mineral lands" That is to the
point. The convention developed il start
ling array of facts concerning the acts Of
the mineral land ~gTabbers, Fox. of Dser
Lodge, said he had been ordered off Il
of his mineral claims because it was on IN
odd section. Gen. Harris said the COM
pany was grabbing the mineral land and
making no effort toi secure the
agricultural. Hon. Sam Word made d
powerful speech which ELECTED great APP

cation made its mark in the hearts OF the

HOME FROM
The Delegates Report that the Convention
Was a Great Success.

Captain Taylor, J.W Stanton and II. H.
Chandler, the delegates to the mineral
lands convention, have returned covered
with honor from that important assem-
blage. Mr.. Stanton says that the conven-
ton was united and harmonious. It was
a grand demonstration and SO far as
wealth goes it might be said that the del
egates represented property worth $780,
100000. He says that the executive com-
mittee intend to procure from congress
an act declaring the mountain region Of
Montana TIC be mineral land. They will
send a strong delegation to Washington
for that purpose. The failure of the
Northern Pacific to earn any lands in
Montana will also be borne in mind. The
Northern Pacific has been making dan
gerous Entertainments on the mineral
domain. 1t has applied at Helena
already for 100000 acres of land. He
says that miners related many instances
where their rights had been openly dis
regarded by the Northern Pacific. Mr..
Stanton, WHO was on the committee Of
resolutions, also observes that the miners
are thoroughly aroused and will defend
their rights to the last.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
Joseph Butler Horribly Mangled By Consolidated Road Freight.

Joseph Butler Horribly Mangled By a
 Consolidated Road Freight.
 Joseph Butler, son of Michael Butler of Johnson avenue, met with fatal accident by being knocked from Consolidated road freight train at Bridgeport last night. He was fearfully mangled about the lower portion of the body, one ot his legs being severed. Death occurred few minutes after the .cident. Butler was but twenty years of age. He had not lived at home for about three years, although during that period he has been in Waterbury much of the time, being employed AS brakeman up on Conductor OBrien's night freight upon the Naugatuck road For the past three months he has been in the employ of the Housatonc road in similar capacity, but was discharged and paid off yesterday af- ternoon. He was evidently on his way to New Haven at the time of the accident, as he was heard to say during the day that he was going there in search of employment. It is the belief of some who saw his re- mains that while on the platform of the car he stuck his head out to look at some thing and was struck by part of the iron frame work on the bridge. This theory is strengthened by the fact that there was 8 deep gash on his right temple, which seem ed to be the only wound or bruise about the head. The boys father Was notified of his death this morning, but refused to taks charge of the remains and they will be buried i'll Bridgeport this afternoon
