Mexican Colonization.

The report wired from the city of
Mexico that he scheme for cOlOnIZ-
ing cOlOred laborers in Mexico had
failed, was without foundation. w.
n. Ellis, who returned from Mexico
this morning states that matters are
all satisfactorily arranged for a tract
of 10, 600 acres in the state of Vera
Cruz, corn, coffee and cotton lands,
and that the Mexican government
has been very liberal in its cOnces-
siOns and most friendly in its attitude
towards the colonization agents. Mr..
Ellis, in the absence Of his associate,
Mr.. Ferguson, does not feel inclined
to say much about matters 50 far as
details are concerned. as certain of
these matters await Mr.. FergusOn's
signature, who is now in Fort Bend
There is no good reason to doubt that
before this time next year there will
be 800 cOlOred families from Texas
and Arkansas cultivating those Vera
Cruz lands.

SEVENTEEN anniversary of her birthday.
She was the recipient of many gifts
and letters from the leading authors
and reformers. Among these was a
beautiful chocolate pot in repousse
silver. Upon the bottom was the fol-
lowing inscription: Presented to

Mr.. Depew comes down to the Office at the

the whistle blows. Then he pulls on his
overalls and goes to the sink. where he
washes his hands. wiping them on some
clean cotton waste. he then goes home
and eats a hearty meal OF victuais. At
night he slides into his swallow-tail coat.

japanese Women.

In Japan the women have taken

selves faithful and intelligent students.
They show. great deal of ability in
the hospitals and training schools for
nurses, and much quickness in learn
ing, as well as fondness for whatever
they undertake to study. A Japanese
woman's education formerly consisted
of strict and thorough drilling in all
the rules of etiquette, in learning to
play on the koto and samisen, and in
arranging bouquets; they were also
taught, those of the upper and middle
classes, to read and write the common
language in the hirakana or simple
running characters, instead of the
square characters of the classic Ian
guage. All newspapers, novels and
plays are written in the hirakana, and
in Japan, as well as in other countries.
women are great novel readers. There
have been literary women in Japan,
women who have written dramas, po-
ems and novels, as well as those who
read them. The women of Japan hope
eventually to attain position equal in
consideration to that of American wo-
men. And since the wife of the
Japanese Minister at Washington has
been able to learn the English Ian
guage in one year so that she speaks
it fuently, it shows what Japanese
woman can do.

u FLORENCE JOSEPHINE BoYol.

Whan evening has ushered, on dim wings Of love,
The shades, from the heavens advancing;
When twilight appears like . sylph from above,
And renders its stiffness enhancing
There comes . sweet sadness borne linton the
breeze,
The grief Of our past life revealing;
And whispers IL Ger like the murmuring trees,
While thro' them the zephyrs are stealing.
All, why do sad r"-mories hover so near,
When twilight LAS lowered its curtain?
And why do LIES mysteries, darksOIne or clear,
Alike seem secret and uncertain?
The cause would know, still I pause in despair.
And my ignorance sadly regret;
sound q few strains on the cool evening air
From my musical fnend-the cornet.
It soothes the tired spirit. and lulls into rest,
While the notes rise and tremble on high;
It tells Of the loved ones in heav N ever blest,
And our meeting with them by-and-by.
It carols, like songsters, the pleasures OF 1ife
So perfect-no power could rob
It's mode of expression-but when there Is strife
It ends in great soulless sob.
All, hesv'n give me language in which to repeat
Ny pleasure, my grief, or regret,
In accents as pure, and in music as sweet.
As my silvery-voiced cornet.

EARLY in the century e1perimenters
tried to magnetic iron and steel by
the action of light, but such thing
has since come to be regarded as i'm
possible. Prof. Shelford Bidweu

the action of radiation upon the mag

he is seeking it. A soft iron sod mag

peculiarly susceptible to magnetic In

also to be remarkably sensitive to

has seemed to indicate that the effects
may be not entirely due to heat, but
partially to the Light rays.

Private Hamlin.

"Did you ever know" asked gentle.
man at the Union League Club ban
quet, shat Hannibal Hamlin once
served this government in a dual Ca
pacity, holding position near the top
of the ladder and another near the bot
tom at one and the same time?"
The reporter admitted that he had
never heard of the incident.
well, he did," said the club man.
while he was Vice-President of the
United States he served for time as a
private in the volunteer army. Queer
idea, wasn't it? I'll tell you how it
happened.
"You see, he was an honorary member
of little company of militia in Bangor,
Me-, and when Lincoln issued his call
for troops, it promptly responded and
came to Washington. There it was
ordered to the navy yard to do guard
duty, and to the surprise of every one
Mr.. Hamlin announced his intention to
go with it. The officers rather rebelled
at the idea of having a Vice-President
under them, but MI. Hamlin was de-
termined.
why not p he asked. If I'm q good
enough man to be an honorary member
of the company, I guess I am good
enough to be private
"And he shouldered gun and went
with them. Well, at the navy yard
there were, of course, more complica-
tions. The officers decided that it would
not do to put the distinguished private
on guard duty, but he objected again,
and pertinently inquired:
what am I here for-to look
pretty?'
@And the result was that he marched
up and down as q sentinel in his regular
turn. Odd, wasn't it? Imagine the
Weep President of the United States re-
ceiving orders from sergeant of mill
tia company.
@Then when the company was mus
tered out he was offered the regular
pay of q private for the time he was at
the navy yard, but declined to &C.
cept it.
Why? he was asked. You served
with the rest of u.s.
s'Well, he said, Z don't think it's
right for a man to draw pay twice from
the government, and taking all things
into consideration, I believe I'd rather
draw the Vice-President's salary"
