HarrlsOn's Ambition.

BUFFALO, May 25.-Politicians who
have returned here from Washington
agree that President Harrison is already
laying his plans for denomination. They
say that it is only necessary to remain in
Washington four or FIVE days to discover
the Presidents ambition. He is
attempting to mould the Republican
party his own personal use, and to his
own political ambition, by the power Of
patronage alone. His refusal to allow
his Cabinet officers to make appointments
in their own departments, and his deter
mination to oversee personally every
appointment that is made in every
department, is explained by the Presi'
dents desire to put none but Harrison
men on guard and in Office.
An influential politician of Chicago,
who stopped off here on his way to Mag.
ara Falls, said in the Genesee Hotel last
night:
"When I was in Washington last week
| had an extended conversation with the
President. From words he let fall he
gave me clearly to understand that he
proposed by the end of his Administra.
ton to make the Republican party more
united and harmonious than at any time
since the death of President Lincoln.
From what be said T. gathered that he
was determined tc eradicate from the
party every semblance of factional dit.
| ferences. He said that they had been
too many factions in the party for its
good. His REFUSAL" said the speaker, "to
allow Mr.. Blaine to have his own way in
regard to the appointments in the State
department is not, as I take it, from any
desire to quarrel with Mr.. Blaine or to
create diasensions in his Cabinet, but
simply to serve notice on Mr.. Blaine,
and to inform the people of the country,
that this is not to be Blaine or any
other Cabinet officers Administration,
but Ben Harrison's purely, solely and
exclusively; that appointments are not
to be considered as charged to Blaine,
Window, or any other Cabinet officer,
but to Harrison himself, so that at the
proper tims, when Mr.. Harrison calls for
his army, he will not encounter, as Mr..
Arthur did in 1884, armed warriors
appearing to knife him from almost
every department. Harrison has learned
a thing or two, and his purpose to eradi-
cate the Blaine machine, the Sherman,
Allison and Edmunds machines, and to
erect in it's stead substantial Harrison
machine, indicates that he is utilizing
his experience and knowledge.-Nea0

Babies Of the World.

It has been computed that between
100000 aud 97,OOO,oO0 of babies are
born in the world each year. The rate
of production is, therefore, about seventy
a minute, or rather more than one for
every beat of the clock. With the one
a.minute calculation every reader is
familiar, but it is not every one who
stops to calculate what this means, when
it comes to q years supply, says the
Leeds Mercury. And it will probably
startle good many persons to find that
could the infants of a year be ranged in
a line in cradles seven deep they would
20 around the globe. We have the in
genious conclusion also that supposing
the little ones to grow up and the sexes
to be about equally divided, we should
have an army d hundred times SIS large
as the forces of the British empire, with.
a wife in addition to every soldier. The
same writer looks at the matter in still
more picturesque light. He imagines
the babies being carried past q given
point in their mothers charge, one by
one, and the procession being kept up
continuously night and day, until the
last conner in the twelve months has
passed by. A sufficiently liberal rate of
speed is allowed, but even with these
babies-in.arms going past twenty min
ute, The reviewing officer would only
have seen sixth part of the infantine
host file onward by the time he had been
year at his post. In other words, the
babe that had tC be carried when the
work began would be able to waddle
onward itself when mere fraction Of its
comrades had reached the seluting post;
and when the years supply of babies
was tapering to a close, there would be q
rear guard not of infants, but Of romping
boys and girls. They would have passed,
in fact, out of the maternal arms into the
hands of the school.teacher. Every
moment of nearly seven years would be
required to complete this grand parade
of those little ones that in the course of
twelve.month begin to play their part
in the first age of man.

History Of Cotton Seed.

Was ever there a history, this side Of
Cinderella, of the uprising of humility,
like that of the cotton seed?
For seventy years despiBed as nui.
sance and burned or dumped as garbage.
Then discovered to be the very food
for which the soil was hungering, and
reluctantly admitted to the rank of ugly
| utilities.
Shortly afterwards found to be nutri-
tious food for beast as well as soil, and
thereupon treated with something like
respect.
Once admitted to the circle of farm
husbandries, found to hold IS gallons of
pure oil to the ton, worth in it's crude
state $l4 to the ton, or s40,O00,0OO for
the whole crop of seed.
But then q system was devised for
refining this oil up, to value OF 81
| gallon, and the frugal Italians placed a
cask of it at the root of every olive tree
and then defed the Borean breath of the
Alps.
An then experience showed that the
| ton of cotton seed was better fertilizer
and 9 better stock food when robbed
of its thirty-fye gallons of oil than
before
And the hulls of the seed made the
best of fuel for feeding the oil mill EN-.

And that the ashes of the bulls scooped
from the engines drift had the highest
commercial value as potash ]
And that the 'trefuse" Of the whole
made the best and purest soap stock to
carry to the toilet the perfumes of Lubin
of Colgate!
About this time ne began 20 spell cot

A Trip to He'll.

ley Mitchell, of this county, tells the
following experience:
Several years ago was bit bya mad
dog, and have suffered from its effects
nearly every year since then, and now
have spasms occasionally. I had been
down to Florida, and when T returned to
the hill country my system vas filled
with malaria, and I was in bad health,
but as I had to work for o living, I went
to Atlantis and engaged to drum for a
clothing house on Whitehall street,
known as Menko & Bro. After complet.
ing my contract I returned home for a
few days rest, and started back to Atlanta
to get job. I was trudgipg along the
road, feeling as we'll as usual. After |
passed through Decatur I went down the
hill, crossed the branch and started up on
the other side, Suddenly ! saw great
ball Of fire, as big as q hogshead, come
rolling down the hill, and in an instant I
seemed to fall a thousand feet. I knew
everything just as we'll as I do now,
except that I was entirely helpless, and
found myself lying in hell. I tried but
could not get up. looked around and
saw hundreds Of people; some I knew
and some I did not. Some I recognized

and itwould roll as they tramped through
it. One of the fellows I knew walked ur
to me and kicked me, and I begged him
not to do that any more. How long
remained there I have no idea, but saw
everything just as plain as I see you sit

WHAT SHALL WE no WITH JOHN

My neighbor Jinkins is a well-to.do
farmer. His son John has just come
home with q college diploma. He grad.
:uated with honor, is a good scholar, and
9 good speaker. And now the anxious
question over at Jinkins' is, What shall
John do2 or, What shall we do with
John? He is q member of the church,
but be does not think he is called to
preach the gospel, and he has too much
reverence for the ministry to rush into
itunbidden. He has no special taste for
medicine, and the legal profession is
crowded. Politics ruight offer an inyit-
ing field 10 an ambitious young man; but
it is run by machines, and he who would
succeed must begin by selling himself to
q ring. John is too manly for that. Ee
might teach; but if he does, he will have
to begin in some country school, drilling
a lot of unkempt urchins in A B @, and
that would be worse than chopping cord.
wood. So the question finds no satisfac-
tory answer.
Jinkins came TO me for advice. Said
he: "I an afraid that I have made q
mistake. John vas a bright boy and a
good boy. I thought that I ought to
educate him. I have. worked hard to
keep him at school; and he has studied
hard to get a good education. But now
he is through, and he don't know what
to do with himself. 1t seems pity to
put young man who can read Latin
and Greek to running gang-plow or q
moving machine. But he don't want to
be a lawyer, or doctor, or teacher, and be
amt called to preach. I don't see what
there is for him to do. If he is to come
back and work on the farm, he might as
well have stayed there AID nc, ha,, gyus
to college,
"Jinkins," said I, "you made no mis-
take in educating John as you have; but
permit an old friend to suggest that you
are makiug two mistakes now. The frsl
is, in thinking that because John has
gone through college, and got diploma
he is educated; and the second is, that
education is valuable only for the money
it enables man to make. Now, my no.
tion is, that though Latin, Greek and
mathematics are valuable in education
the knowledge Of thsm is not an educa'
tion. Education means training for use
fulness all q mans faculties: his senses
as we'll as his memory and reason hiE
hands, as we'll as his head /; his muscles
as we'll as his brain. The object of edu.
cation is the complete and symmetrical
development of our manhood. It is
therefore, physical and moral, as we'll al
intellectual. Now, John has been doing
brain work almost exclusively for years
He has been among books and under
teachers. Let him spend little time in
bodily exercise, in studying nature, and
in learning to think for himself. A farm
is one of the best schools in the world
The variety of work makes it an excel
lent gymnasium, and the Great Teacher
is giving new lessons there with each
change OF the seasons. Give John 9
piece of land to cultivate; tell him tc
study it as he studied Euclid" Tel
him to apply in hia farming what he
learned in his natural philosophy ane
chemistry. Tell him to think as he fol
loWs.his plow-; TO ponder the problem o.

Where we emerge again it has made an

almost straight. It forms perfect mir.

shadows of trees on either bank, and the
sinking sun, beautifully tinted sky, and
scurrying white pillars of cloud all reaec-

glorious picture.
