TIE BOY AT EIGHTEEN.
ThInss He Should Know, Because
tito Great Advantage He Has.

The ThinEs He Should Know, Because of
tho Great Advantages He Has.
a youth of eighteen, who is to have
the best chances, should know how to
study, and how to do it with enthusi-
asm also, because he has learned the les
son at least five years before.
Enthusiasm, guided and controlled By
k~nowledgcd as to the use OF the powers.
is the true life of a living man, alive
with the spiritual forces. Everything
Else is in sleep, or is dead.
| make my starting point, aud my
guiding thought, the thought that he
should learn how TO study, and should
gain enthusiasm, at the beginning.
In the first place, as l think, the study
of language may he most hopefully and
successfully started in these earliest
years. The boy owe joyousiy where
the man finds only labor and WEAKNESS.
The children of our households today
may gain the same thing that we gained
Mt 1--WE and twenty, and far more than
we gained, when they are ten or twelve;
and the progress is like the joyful song
OF their childhood, when they are led
along the rational method. They grow
mp into French or German, rs it were,
as they grow up into English, and talk,
and read, and sing in these languages
just rs they do in their own. Why
should they not breathe enthusiasm with
every breath Of their learning? 1t was
with n great price, indeed. that we oh
tanned this frcedCG. But they were free
born.
Let me say here that, in my judgment,
every boy who has the best chances
ought TO lave the mastery of the French
or German language Il should say of
bo;h) before he is 10 years of age-a
mastery kindred to that which he has of
English. He should, also. have such a
knowledge Of Greet; and Latin as will
mean power in and over those languages,
and will enable him to reed them with
ease and with satisfaction as he enters
upon his college course. The mar who
knows the ancient languages MS he ought
To know them, will never contend against
their holding Il place in TIE education of
all widely educated and roundly edu-
Gated men.
The boy who has t!,c best chances
ought. il the years between twelve and
eighteen, to be set forward on his course
in history and the beginnings, at least,
Of tn" literature of his own language.
My feeling is that the boys who have
the best chances should know something
of music, and should, ut least, see the
opening of the door toward art studies.
The opinion is now well established, l
suppose, that all persons can be instruct
ed in vocal music with a measure of sue
cess. | believe that the same thing can
be accomplished in the line of instru-
mental music.
That the mathematical studies should
be pursued ~energetically before the youth
has reached the age of which we are
speaking, l may add, is admitted by all.
The men of the former generations and
the men of our day agree Ut this point

Chinese.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The secre-
tary of the treasury has received a long
report from D. L. Coon, Chinese in
spector at San Diego, Gala in regard to
the smuggling of Chinese into the United
States from Mexico. He says a careful
inspection ofthe country and roads cross
ing the state line from Tia Juanna to
Monument, at the sea, shows the oppor
t%unities for crossing into this country are
many and it is impossible, with the pres
ent force, to prevent all Chinese from en-
teriDg the country. He saws the Snug
CLING of Cinnamon into the United States
is profitable and the traffio,i is of no small
dimensions and is backed by very heavy
capital, with principal headquarters IN
San Francisco and China. The evidence
seems to he that contracts are made in
China to deliver safely each Chinaman on
American soil and a guarantee is giVer.
For each delivery made $40 is paid. The
Cinnamon are provided in China with
tickets to various ports in Mexico and on
arrival in the harbor of San Francisco are
transferred to a coaster by which they are
taken Ensenada or o.her points. But
the real destination of the Cinnamon"
says Coon, is the United States and
no matter where he lands, be it Mexico or
Canada, he will at the earliest possible
moment work his way to his original des
tination. The action of the secretary Of
the treasury prohibiting further transfers
10 the harbor of San Francisco was a most
fortunate order and will serve to check
the traffic for a time at least, but | appre
bend hat in the near future the steam
ship lines will bring them direct from
China and land them on Mexican soil as
near the United States as possible, 20
thev may finally reach the country they
are looking for. Legislation on this sub
ject by congress, if well considered. will
afford temporary relief and, in my opin-
ion. it will be found necessary for our gov
eminent to negotiate treaty %stipulations
with Mexico and the British government
whereby those nations will exclude China
men from their territory on this continent.
The surest and most speedy and e,onomi-
cal punishment Cinnamon can have, and
the one to be the most dreaded by them,
is to send them at once to their native
country.

Mime. Carette says, in her memoirs,
that the last time Bismarck danced it
was with her, III 1867, at a ball given
in honor of the king of Prussia. He
had been sitting alone and she Sent
him a bouquet of roses. He accepted
this as an invitation and waltzed her
quite skillfully through the mass of
dancers. She adds: LAS the count

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Aher the
TRANSACTION of routine business the con-
sideration of the land forfeiture bill was
resumed. A clerical error was discov-
cred in the text of the bill establishing
the territory Of Oklahoma. In describ-
ing the territory to be included the bill
says the boundary line follows the south
line of the Cherokee outlet westward to
the west line of Texas" 1t should e
westward to the east line of Texas. =
The bill is still in the interior department
not signed by the president. 1t may be
either recalled by a concurrent resolution,
amended and passed, or amended by a
joint resolution. In any event there will
be no delay in carrying the PROVISIONS OF
the law into effect.
Plumb discussed Calls amendment as
to lands in Florida.
Platt interrupted to offer a concurrent
resolution, which was agreed to, request
ing the president to return the Oklahoma
bill. He explained that owing to errors
of his W the word west" had been
used in place of east in the description
of the boundaries.
Consideration of the land forfeiture bill
was resumed. On the motion to lay
Calls amendment On the table no quorum
yoted-yeas 81, nays 24-but as a call of
the senate showed the presence of fifty
two members, Sherman rose and said that
whenever a quorum was present and a
vote did not disclose that fact, he should
insist upon the sensible rule that a sena-
tor present and not voting should be
counted.
Blackbu asked if Sherman intended
to disregard pairs or rules OF the senate
and authorize the presiding officer to do
that which the speaker OF the house bad
been engaged 10 doing.
Sherman said he would not break a
pair, but it is the duty of every person not
paired to vote. He thinks the fact of
such senators being present and constitut-
ing a quorum may be properly announced
by the chair and that even the rule
adopted by the house of representatives is
in exact accordance with our own rules
and with the constitution. After some
further debate the question was again
up and Calls motion laid on the table by
a strict party vote-yeas 30, mass Is.
Moody offered an amendment, which
was agreed to, declaring that the act
must not be construed to confer any right
on any state, corporation or person to
lands excepted in grants. The bill then
passed without division.
Mcpherson introduced a bill granting a
pension of 81, 500 a year to the widow of
Gen. Mcclellan. Referred.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the Mckinley administra-
tive customs bill. The bill was read and
the amendments recommended by the
committee agreed To. Several others
were submitted and went over without
action. Adjourned.
