Tho Stanford University.

The Minneapolis Tribune saws: That
magnificent gift to the people of California,
the Stanford University, promises 10 be 4
new departure in the field of university ed
ucation. Not that it is more literally en-
dowed than, perhaps, any other institution
of its kind ever was. But the character of
its constituency aud the instruction Of this
university, and the moral and social OBJ
ects the founder had in view in establish
ing it, distinguish the Leland alma matte.
from most of its older sisters. 1t was es-
tablished for the benefit OF the common
people of California. The sons and daugh-
tiers of the rich are welcome, but it is in
tended for university for the children of
the people who, no doubt, will be in q
great majority among its students. Hay-
ing the welfare of the masses in view the
founder wants the students educated so as
to become producers, instead of
crowding the professional or middle
mems classes, as most university
graduates are in the habit of doing. Every
student will have the opportunity TO learn
practically how to cultivate the soil for
every branch of agriculture, to learn a
trade and to cultivate and develop his in
ventiye powers. The principle of Coop
Grafton will be taught and, so far as posi-
bic, illustrated by actual experiments
One sex shall have equal advantages with
the other. Mr.. Stanford believes that wo-
men will be better fitted for their duties as
wives and mothers if they are trained TO
enter all vocations of life suitable TO their
sex, and that by calling into action the
latent or unused powers of woman at least
twenty five per cent. will be added to the
productive power of society. The students
will be taught the liquor question and the
consequences of intemperance in all their
bearings.
The Leland institution of learning, ii ap-
pears, will be eminently practical in its OBJ
iects and methods of Instruction. That is
the crying need of the age. Whether the
education acquired III most of our colleges
and universities is boon TO society and u
majority of the individuals SO educated is a
question that is not so easily answered. If
the college grad1ate is incapable or unwill-
ing to earn his bread 5y his hands if neces-
sary, his education is wrong, and when the
Young men and women who are 50 stu
ated are numbered by the thousands, a
system that units them for work and fits
them for nothing within their reach, De-
comes danger to society. The most adj
vGnceG European countries are suffering
from surplus education, and even in this
country there is altogether to much col
! legeisn."
| There is room for sweeping reform in the
! field of education. The whole system oil
| higher education must be recast The
| Stanford University is an experiment in
this direction The results obtsined will
be OF the highest value to all friends OIL
educational reform.

Chief Lee Says the White Gamblers Have
Given up the Fight.
Officer Ash succeeded in arresting one
Chinaman night before last and getting the
necessary evidence TO secure conviction.
He was passing up / street late at night
and came upon the lookout of the game
at No. 304 before the usually watchful Ce-
lestial knew of his presence. Selling the
surprised Chinaman by the shoulders he
threw HIM OF the sidewalk before he could
utter the usual cry of warning and dashed
into the place. a tan game was in full
blast. The frightened MongoIians tImbled
over each other in their wild endeayors TO
escape. Ash cullared one of the men with
one hand and grabbed about $50 and the
layout with the other. The rest of the
players made their escape, as the officer
had his hands full. The captured China
man, who gave the name of All Soon, was
arraigned in the Police Court Yesterday
morning and had his case set for hearing
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. 1t is
thought that this time there will be evil
dence enough to secure conviction.
Chief Lee says that he thinks the white
gam blers have given up their effort to run
the games, as no attempt has been made to
open them for the past two nights. He is
determined that they shall not run if he
has 70 keep an officer at their doors all the
time

Trout in the American.

There seems to have been no hydraulic
mining on the tributaries of the South
Fork of the American river for the past
several years, and the stream has become
remarkably clear as far down as Mormon
Island. Chris. Ecklon and party went
out fishing few days ago in the neghbor-
hood of Salmon Falls, and found excellent
sport in trout fishing. The speckled beaa-
ties were pulled in large number with fly
hooks. The American seems to get all its
slickens from the North Fork, which joins
the South Fork just above the Folsom
Prison.

How Her Sympathy Was Aroused.

A few evenings since an uptown family
man was appealed TO by his six-year-old
daughter for story. He was weary from
his days labors and tried TO beg off, but it
was no use. Not being in story making
mood, he took up his newspaper and
glanced over its columns in the hope of
finding subject. Finally his eye fell upon
a telegram relating the sad fate of little
girl in Virginia. whose father had sent her
to neighbours farm for pitcher of milk,
and who was overtaken and eaten by
bear. He told her the story in the most
pathetic manner possible, with many orig
inal variations calculated to arouse the
child's sympathy for the unfortunate litde
girl and 10 impress upon her mind the pos
sible dangers, even in a city, of wandering
away from home.
The little one listened attentively, and
seemed to be deeply impressed by the bar-
rowing tale, and when her father had con-
cluded she sat looking contemplatiyely at
him with wide-open eyes aud az expression
of pain las he thought.
Don't you think that was sad thing?n
he asked, anxious to break the painful
spell, " for that poor little girl to be taken
from her loving parents in that awful way"
Imagine his disappointment when his
child's features relaxed and she broke the
silence with the remark:
Yes; but l wonder if the milk was
spiledr'
That parent concludes that as a story
teller he isn't much of a success.
