Yale's victory at the foot end has made as much stir as almost anything the head end ever did.
 Up to the present time the hints of this country have issued 345, ,3sS. .009 silver dollars worth about seventy cents apiece. Silver certificates have been issued against 284, ,072,- SAT of them, and about 7,760,0O0 more are waiting for the issue of such certificates. This means that there are about 53, 100000 of them in the hands and pockets of the people.
 An ingenious farmer in Q Massachusetts town has nailed up on his own premises g large finger board pointing to his neighbors on the opposite side of the lane and bearing in very large letters the word "Pigs" and with the words "for sale" underneath in very small letters. Lawyers who think there is 8 libel in it are endeavoring to get the discom- fted neighhors to try on 8 lawsuit.
 The recent congressional collection of di- vorce statistics seems to show that uniform divorce law would fall far short of remedying the evil, as it brings out the fact that four fifths of ell the divorces in the United States in twenty years were granted to persons who were divorced in the same State where their marriage had taken place. That is, people do not go to other States to procure divoroes half as often as has been supposed.
 Hitherto in Brazil only those male citizens of full age having an assured income of two hundred dollars or more yearly have had the right of suffrage. The provincial governs ment of the new republic has proclaimed uni- versal suffrage, as one dispatch says, but ac- oording to another the elective franchise is given only to those who can read and write. If both dispatches are true, the provincial government has substituted an educational for property qualification. Either would probably exclude more than half of the adult male population of Brazil.
 According to regulation just established for Russian schools, corporal punishment s'suHisient to be felt" while not endanger- ing life or health, is enjoined whenever deemed necessary by teacher. Scholars their conduct outside is equally amenabls to discipline. Religious instruction may like wise be legally emphasized by means of cor- poral punishment Ito be felt" without, how. ever, leaving permanent results; but blue spots, swollen stripes or bruises are consid' cred allowable and not permanent wounds. It is believed in Chicago that very inter esting and important problem has beer solved there. A little text book, entitled
 ssThe Virtues and Their Reasons," hes beer
 adopted for use in the eighth and higher grades of the public schools. The book ha
 nothing to do with religious differences, ant
 is said to be an excellent medium for teach
 ing children what is right and wrong in tn
 common relations of life regardless of relig
 ious opinions or theories. The results of it
 use thus far are said to be very satisfactory
 and the Boston school committes are contem

THE REWARD OF MERIT.

THE REWARD OF MERIT.
 Most smokers will agree that man who stops smoking because he is hired to, de- serves his pay. They will therefore be pleased to see their opinion uphold by the Supreme court of the State of Kentucky. The case is an interesting one. An old lady entered into written agreement with her grandson to give him five hundred dollars If he would quit smoking for specified per iod. Before the expiration of the time she died. The young man kept his part of the agreement and then demanded the money from her executors. They refused to pay it, and he brought suit. The lower courts held that there was no consideration for the agreement and declined to enforce 1t. Their view is not shared by the highest court of the State, which decides that the agreement was valid and binding, and that as the young man had lived up to his bargain he was en- titled to the promised reward.

THE question of the maintenance
of the royal family causes increasing
agitation in Great Britain. The ex-
treme radical wing led by LabOuchere
would cut off all grants and leave the
younger members of the Queens fam
lily to be provided for out of the saw
ings of her majesty, which are placed
at a large figure. The governments
and in this they are sustained by
Gladstone, would still maintain in
tact the understanding by which the
crown has ever been maintained, that
is by special grants to members of the
royal family as they enter life for them
selves. John Morley agrees with
neither wing but promises to intro
duce an entirely new plan of provid-
ing for the members of the royal fam
lily. What this plan will be has not
been made public, but it will be sub
mitted on next Monday. In the
mean time the older nobility are de-
sirous that clause shall be in
serted in the grant now asked for
debarring the children of the
Princess Louise from the throne
in case of default of male heirs on the
part of her royal brothers. Consider
able fear is expressed lest Fife
should come to the throne of Great
Britain, and the older aristocracy are
by no means DESTROYS of taking chan
ces on the event. The queen is also
severely criticized for using her title
Of Empress of India in her recent
communication to the house of lords,
it being matter of distinct understand
ing and express stipulation that this
title was to be used exclusively on
matters pertaining to India. The re-
lations grow more and more strained
between the English commons and
the crown from year to year and it is
anything but serene and perfume
tory position which the royal Victoria
is called upon to fill.
