Education Endorsed.

MIR. EDITOR: In a late issue [
notice very good article on the
value of an education, and [ would
like to say a few words on the sub
ject. I think that the sentiments
which are expressed therein so truth
fully and wisely will find an echo in
every parents heart, for they give
expression to the thoughts and de-
sires of a great many, and encour-
ages us in the possibility Of the
realization of our highest hopes.
Education gives influence, power
and prestage to the possessor; it
gives confidence, hope and courage,
and opens up to his view all that is
great and grand in creation, but it
can not give success to the slothful,
make wise a fool, make strong the
weak-minded, or be Of much use I'M
less there is something better back
of it. So, while [ go the full length
with the writer on education, [ still
believe there are other things worthy
Of consideration, and which should
be impressed upon the young with
as much earnestness as possible, for
if one lacks them, education is of
little avail. [ have often seen in the
humblest sphere of life, men of fine
education; they have had all the ad-
vantages Of the best means of educa
ton; still they are poor, and Of small
account and possess none of the adj
vantages that it should have CON
ferred upon them. Those may be
extreme cases, the exceptions rather
than the rule; but such as they are,
they seem to imply that education
will not accomplish all that it ought
to do. Indeed, if we are to succeed,
we must possess certain other quail
ications which do not depend so
much upon education as they do
upon the formation of character, and
certain habits and qualities of mind.
To succeed, one must not only pos
sess a good education, but it is i'm
portant, nay it is absolutely neces-
sary, that he should be earnest, in
dustrious, diligent, persevering and
sober; he must have force and energy
and courage enough to surmount all
difficulties, and mind tempered to
sustain him under all misfortunes.
Education, diligence, or perseverance
can not, perhaps, always accomplish
everything, but they are the strong
est and most powerful bulwarks
which can be raised against defeat
and adversely; they may not always
bring prosperity, but they are pretty
sure to bring happiness, which is the
main thing, after all. Teach the
little ones diligence and good habits,
they will then have little to fear in
this life, and this will help to fit
them for better one hereafter.

The facts elected were, that a

THE CHINESE DRAMA.

More than 1920 years before the
Christian Era the Chinese seem to
have possessed a government super
intendence of music, and the tradi-
tionary collection of the odes of the
Sinking from the music-masters
of the provinces carries us back to
days when ideas of education and
music were as indissoluble as among
the early Greeks, How far choral
song-dances of a symbolic character
(such as the Pyrrhic of the Greeks)
contributed to create the Chinese
drama we need not ask; certain it is
that, at very early date, the Chi
nese possessed symbolic dances rep
resenting the labors of tillage, the
joys of harvest, the fatigues of war
Leaving these rudes beginnings of
the Chinese theatre out of sight, the
history of the regular drama in
China has been divided into three
periods corresponding respectively
with the pieces composed under the
Tang dynasty "a. D. 729-905), the
Song dynasty (96O-1119) and the
dynasty of the Kin and Youen Q123
134D. The pieces composed under
the last are known by the names of
Youen-pen and Tsa-ki, and it is from
a dramatic authority called the
Youen jin-pe tchong, or Hundred
Plays Composed Under the Youen,"
that the plays are at present trans
lated into European languages have
been mainly selected. The large
number of dramatic authors and
plays in China may be estimated
from the fact that the Chinese list of
dramatic authors under the Youen
dynasty contains eighty-one male
dramatists, to whom four hundred
and forty eight plays are attributed,
in addition to one hundred and five
plays of anonymous authorship, and
eleven attributed to courtesans.

THE DAILY
THURSDAY, NOV. q. 1889

In OUR issue of Nov. 9Th, we re-
terred to an important change in the
schedule of the overland fast mail
train between New York and San
Francisco, to commence Nov. LIST.
Advlces received by the Australia
state that delay of few days was
necessary to perfect the arrange
ments, and the schedule would be
started on the 18th of November.
last Sunday. In the Alta we find
the following particulars relating to
this new service, under which the
mails are to be rushed across the
continent, from ocean to ocean, re-
guIarly in four days and thirteen
hours:
by the November schedule the fast
mail time going west from ocean to
ocean Will be 1O8 hours 40 minutes. One
very important feature is that the train
VIII reach San Francisco early in the
day, and that the mails will be distribut
ed by 10 a. m. On March 4th, the
time from San Francisco to New York
was l4l hours. On May 4th, the time
was reduced to 121 hours. The new
schedule will reduce the time from ocean
TO ocean to Ill hours, so minutes: that
IS, days, Is hours and 80 minutes, leay-
Ing San Francisco at p. IN. after the
close OF business, and arriving at New
York at lO 30 a. M, with the mails so
assorted as to permit of immediate de-
livery. This is q gain of 20 80 hours on
the March schedule, but as the arrivals
at both ends will be in the morning in
stead OF the evening, it means a gain of
lull day over the March schedule. In
both directions the service for all large
cars Will be adjusted to unite with the
transcontinental train at either Chicago.
Council Bluffs or Omaha, so that the ad-
Vantages will DE reflected throughout
the entire East and West.
There willibe no change of cars west
OF Omaha, distance of 1870 miles"
The Omaha Bee says that "by this
arrangement the East-bound mail
will be carried across the Continent
IN forty hours less time than hither-
to, and the West-bound mail will
beat the old time by twenty-five
hours and thirty-five minutes" This
IS very great reduction in time and
shows that the American railroad
lines are waking up to meet the
strong competition offered them by
the Canadian service, which has
promised to land at Vancouver the
mail from London in less time than
the London mail can be delivered at
San Francisco via New York.

Many Things That Call for Immediate

The power of the press in effecting
necessary reforms has too frequently
been demonstrated to admit of dispute;
but in the work of exposing and casti-
G ating that which Is evil, the utmost
care should be taken lest the writer
shall overshoot his mark, and do more
injury than good. The paper that is
admitted into the home circle must,
above all things, not be the bearer of
mental poison for the youthful mind.
and however severely it may choose to
lash that which is vicious, there is
neither need nor occasion for going into
the minute and sickening particulari-
cation Of wrong-doing, which is so much
in vogue. and is scarcely less danger

sought to be suppressed. The paper
that lays itself open to censure
in this respect, that introduces
