of our school laws must be relaxed.
The teachers must be given more elbow
room. and they must have more ground
on which to stand. The tendency of
our present system is to represS the in
dividuality OF the teacher. That is all.
we want more expansive system-one
that will encourage the teacher to de-
velop indivlduality-to develop it both
in himself, or herself, and IN the pupil.
When the practice of making mere
automatOn of the teacher is abolished
there will be more teachers in love with
their profession. and more of them will
be stimulated to attain higher stand
ard in their profession.
The existing system is just as repress-
i've on the p upil as it is on the teacher.
They all have to go through the same
grind. like gristS in MILL without re-
gard to the quality of the grain. When
teachers are given more latitude they
can be more discriminating. Bnt under
the existing system all they can do is to
turn the crank and pour the grain into
the hopper. Children are being edu-
Gated without the slightest regard to
their intellectual endowments or their
capacity for receiving instruction. Ed
ucation is being pitched into them on
fork, like hay into barn.
1t is next to miracle that with such
system as we have, and with such
methods as we adopt. educational
reform has made any progress in this
country. 1t has only done so through
the untlring eXertions and by the in.
domitable will of the few brave me a
and women who have fought for reform
in the face of all difficulties, and who
through sheer force of character and
by phenomenal display of pluck have
surmounted obstacles, and have elevated
the system with them as they have con-
tinued to climb the hill of progress.
Fortunately, these same brave men and
women are still in the van, and are
leading the way to victory

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.

How Gen. Sick Wherever see Gen.
Dan SickIes bowling
les Got Cab. over cobblestones in a
cab drawn by a very
handsome bay horse, says a New York
writer, III which he always rides down
to his Office. l wonder how many peo-
pie know where the gallant general got
that cab and horse. The general an
swer would be, suppose that lie bought
it. He did not do anything of the kind.
He received il as fee for legal servi-
ceS. Not very many years ago Gen.
SickleS acted as the legal adviser of a
very pretty young woman, who was en-
gagged to be married to young man of
a very wealthy and aristocratic family
i'll this city. The young mans relatives
opposed the match. The cab and horse
was a present from the. young man to
his tiancee, and cost $1,000. The young
man was worth million and half in
his own right. but his uncle, wealthy
banker, persuaded him to make him
trustee of his estate, only reserving to
himself the income. An action was
brought in the supreme court to set
aside the trust, and for time very sen
sational story promised to become pub
lie property. The suit was comprO-
missed, however, and the story never
got into the newspapers. As soon as
the compromise was effected the uncle
shipped the young man off to Australia,
in charge of p iyate detective. The
young woman travelled all over Europe
in search of him. In Paris she was
seized with brain fever, and when she
recovered she gave up the search and
came home. Gen. Sickles acted as her
legal adviser in certain matters growing
out of her troubles afterward, and she
gave him the cab and horse as fee.

APHORISMS.

We can be thankful to friend for a
few acres or little money, and yet for
the freedom and command of the whole
earth, and for the great benefits Of our
being, our life, health and reason, we
look upon ourselves as under no obliga-
tiOn.-Seneca.
The chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trifleS TO yeX us, and in pru-
IDENTIFY cultivating our underground of
small pleasures, since very few great
ones, alas! are let on long leases
Sharp.
1t should seem that Incidence itself
would induce a person to be honest, as
1t requires infinitely greater pains and
contrlvance to be knave.-Shenstone
1t is impossible that an ill-natured
man can have public spirit; for how
should he love 10000 men who never
loved one?-Pope.
A good inclination is but the first
rude draught of virtue; but the finish
ing strokes are from the will; which, if
well disposed, will by degrees perfect;
if ill disposed. will by the superinduc-
ton of Ill habits, quickly deface it.

An indiscreet man is more hurtful
than an ill natured one; for the latter
will only attack his enemies, and those
he wishes ill to; the other Injuries in
differently both friends and foes.-Ad-
Olson.
Good manners are the blossoms of
good sense and of good feeling. If the
law of kindness be written on the heart,
it will lead to that disinterestedness in
both great and little things-that desire
to oblige, and that attention to the
qualification of others, which are the
foundation OF good mannerS.-Swift.

Make Their Own Way.

The paper published by the attend
ants at the University of Minnesota
estimates that more than three. fourths
of the 800 or 900 attendants make their
own way in the main, many of them en-
tirely. This is probably the case to
much greater extent in the West than
in the older and more wealthy COM
munities of the East. The sons of pros
porous parents are often sent to the
Eastern institutions, as they are pre-
sumed to have larger resources and
superior educational advantages. The
growth of great institutions like the
university of this state is rapidly equal
izing the conditions and reducing any
preference for older institutions to the
remains of early familiarity. The father
attended an Eastern college, and he
wants his son to go there. This is
temporary condition. As a few great
universities in each state concentrate
the higher educational facilities, they
will rank with the similar older ones.
Those young men who push their own
way are. as rule, the most likely to
succeed in life.

DON'T MARRY HIM.

A bloated sot and wreck of an edu-
Gated, promising young man of few
years ago is now an inmate of Door
house in one of the prominent Western
cities. He had prosperous business,
held good position in society, and a
rich relative was kind enough to die
and leave him 100000 But he was not
altogether model in his habits, and
the very amiable and sensible young
lady he wanted to marry had the good
seuse to decline. He made the usual
plea that he needed her elevating and
refining influence and loving hand to
lead him to the height of the eXem-
plary husband and citizen. She pitied
and loved, but was not possessed by the
romantic sentiment that a woman
ought to marry nameless apology for
man to reform and try to make de-
cent thing out of him. On her
refusal he increased his down.
ward pace, and in two or three
years got rid of all his fortune. He was
often picked up in the cutters, and has
become common drunkard and pauper.
His maudlIn conception is that the lady
who so happily averted a deplorable
fateby rejecting him is responsible for
his ruin. Such instances are good to
hold up as OBJECT lessons to young
women. Tender, sympathetic and lov-
ing, they are quite liable to be per-
suaded that the cratic ways of the
lover are incidents Of an ardent aud
noble nature, aud can be relieved bv
her cOmpanionship and gentle guidance.
However low and profiigate the man is,
he generally wants to marry girl who
is good enough for wings. He would
have her the purest and truest of
womanhood. The dash and glitter of
the fast young man at times bewiIder
and allure. Instances are notable on
every hand where men who have failed
to lesorm have model wives. 1t is
fearful peril that any girl faces when
she marries a man to reform him. IL
he insists that he will otherwise plunge
recklessly downward. that confession of
cowardice and ignobIe nature should
remove any possible doubt: no respon-
sibility eau attach to her, whatever his

Clerical sportsmen.

The queens chaplain, Rev. Francis
Byng, has recently got into trouble by
betting on horse races-not exactly the
betting, but his bad luck in putting his
money on the wrong horses. It is com
mon in England for parsons to bet on
races, and it does not appear that there
is any loss of repute or JUNCTION in con-
sequence. In this instance the trouble
was aggravated, or chiefly caused by
betting good deal more than he had
and losing. There is no providence or
spiritual illumination that helps out
that class of sportsmen. Could there
be some exclusive device for shielding
them from mistakes in the matter, the
higher interests could be promoted by
their investments; still, it would be
taking an unfair advantage of the con-
fiding worldlings. In this country the
devotee of the turf is not often seen in
the pulpit. One instance is recalled of
devout orthodox clergyman who was
famous as horse trainer and lover of
equine speed, with no disparagement
of his position in the sacred desk. The
rapid steed is not in necessary antago-
nism to h<Gh devotion.

THE ELECTRIC WAYS.

Electricity is marvelously rapid. 1t
dashes along the right of way given it,
and is constantly revealing new uses
and possibilities. Still, it is surprise
that it has come to the front at bound
as the coming motive force of the Twin
City railways. The introduction of it
to do the duty of the animals that have
been unable to keep step to the progress
Of municipal development was re-
garded as but an experiment. Reports
OF its operation in other cities had
afforded insufficient basis for definite
opinion. 1t is then the unexpected that
again happens. The belief that the OBJ
stacles that have made doubtful
the efficiency of the electric sys-
TEN have disappeared, aud that
it is the coming potency for
the greater part of city locomotion, is
evidently widespread. Boston and
other cities are palpably convinced that
it is to superSede all the old methods.
The conversion of LOWRY and his coad-
tutors is suggestive of the apostle whose
name is so locally familiar. He saw a
light, and its mental induration was per-
manent. That it should be pronounced
more desirable system than the cable
is not minor feature Of the surprise.
1t is presumed that the change in the
directing minds is like that of PAUL in
freedom from selfish inspiration; not
that it may not be more economical in
operation, but that would not satisfy if
the service were not up to the progress
sive demands of the cities. They would
not be pacified with any slow and in
ferior process. If the electric system
is not the best now in sight, it would be
unwiSe in LOWRY or any corporation to
impose it upon the community. The
demand is for the best, and there is
small concern as to what that is. 1t is
gratifying to know that there is to be
no delay i'll fastening the connection
between the Twin Cities.
