At Judge Balls court yesterday, some
carpenters were pounding In the base
mont and disturbed the court. The
Judge sent and officer down 70 tell the
offender TO come up. Word came back
that he said he was too busy and could
not come. The Judge said bring him up.
When the officer brought his carpenter
up 1t was the boss contractor and not the
workman who had said he was too busy
to come. Tho boss said the officer has
only .iust told him and he had the noise
stopped Immediately. &oral-When you

No one will accuse u of being even
conservative Ms to the Manual Training
school. We were Rmeng the iirst to
write 1t up appreciativc.y, aud thereby
reanzed TO 1t strong popular support.
But we take notice Of how the bills come
IN TO the Board OF Etuoat,on for that
Manual Training Department OF the
Boys High School, and we expect IN due
time 10 zee report rs 10 v hat It has cost
In salaries, materials, et', Tor tue first
year. What Is done wath the manu- fac
tnred productsf lit be not altogether
an u'opisn vision We would like
to see-when such report does
come TO hand--that material has
not been unnecessarily TASTED, that use-
iu' articles have been manufactured,
that with learning practical mechanics
thc boys have learned such practical
mechanics as have been practically con.
verted into cash, Whereby they have
acquired the important iit Of mechanical
abllity to earn livelihood.
For example we notice in the month 8
financial report ut the last meeting of the
Board OF Education reported IN the
DAILY REPUBLICAN OF rucsdsy, Jauu-
ary l4th, the item Of s. Tor ma.
terial for the Manual framing School
and what We shall want to ask at the
proper time is: Have the boys been
taught to waste material or to enhance
| Its value by their toll?
| Secondly: How muct have the manu-
factured articles been sold fort How
much more than what the materia
cost?
Should We nnd there Il n profit on the
manufactured material, as compared
| with its coat when raw, we shall proba
bly, not stand 10 see that profit equal tn,
coat Of teachers salaries, fuel. rent, &c.
The fact should not be forgotten that
our industrial city is q multiarious woil
shop that is a practical school where boy
learn TO manipulate materials greatly to
tile Increase OF their value. Hence W,
say: Make 1t pay.

based ON the injurious clle t of cigarette
smoking on The young. she was pre-
pared to show that epilepsy and insanity
had increased 40 per cent. In the public
schools OF late years, through the Use OF
poisonous substances In tht manufacture
of cigarettes. Aka Bark, b Chiuese pro-
duction, worse In lie effect than opium,
and more seductive, was beiug exten-

CHAPTER VI.

VOLUNTEERS TO THE RESCUE.
Sir William Johnson, having decided
to proceed with all despatch to Albany
to confer with the authorities on the
subject of relieving the fort at oswego,
returned to his home the next morning
to make preparations for a journey
which, in those days, was long and per-
ilous, and only to be made on horseback.
Before leaving his nephew, however, he
gave him much sound advice on the fol-
ly of wasting his time in study when
the times demanded men of action in
arms or politics. He had no doubt, he
said, that he could easily obtain for his
young relative a civil appointment I'M
der the provincial government, or a
commission in the British army-the
former being in his mind preferable as
it afforded opportunities of lucrative
preferment. Selwyn promised to give
the matter thoughtful consideration and
to devote more attention to public
affairs, with which the baronet had to
content himself, and departed with the
belief that his nephew would soon real
ize the value of his prudent counsels.
No sooner had the sound of his horses
hoofs died away in the distance than
Selwyn summoned the Indian boy and
hogan to interrogate him about his
master, the condition of the fort, and
the military aspect on the frontier. The
conversation would have been attended
with much difficulty if the answers were
conveyed in the mute language Of signs,
Of which Selwyn was ignorant, but
Ariel had learned to write with the aid
Of Jabes wife and his own quick per-
ception.
Selwyn asked his questions in French,
and was surprised TO find the answers
written in English, in style at once
simple and graphic.
'sYou are skillful with the pen, Ariel"
re marked Selwyn, when he had read the
narrative Of the voyage On the river;
but what think you Of Marden's
chances of success in this dangerous
venture?"
The boy shook his head mournfully.
Your master commends you to my
protection" continued he, land / ac-
cept the trust But you know the con-
dition Of the fort and the danger which
threatens it. Marden may return in
safety and successful in his mission; but
that will not save the fort; without re-
Inducements it must fall, and there is
nothing TO be expected from these En-
Rlish generals: it we're folly to think Of
it. They iii not stir, and II they did, it
Is doubtful if they would be in time.

THAT shot of yours, Jabe, must have
hit one of them" said Marden, as he
stepped on shore; land now to see If
there are any more redskins on our
track. Ariel, climb this tree; it will
give you good view of the river" The
boy obeyed, climbing into the topmost
branches with the agility of squirrel,
but soon returned with the mute as
surance that no enemy was in sight.
Night was approaching and the tired
voyagers were fain to find a place of
rest and security. The stream was be-
coming narrow and comparatively shall
low, and small island in it's midst
forced it into rapids ON either side. This
Marden selected for their bivouac, and
the canoe bore them to it's lower extrem-
ity. Here they ventured to make a fire
with the aid of powder flashed in rife
pan. 1t was kindled in the hollow stump
of tree, the light carefully concealed
by their blankets; and Ariel cooked
their supper, which consisted of dried
venison, frizzled on the Goals, coffee and
corn cakes. After the repast Marden
and Jabe lit their pipes, while Ariel
gazed into the fire and seemed to be
lost in revery. "This is the end of our
journey by water" Marden announced,
rs he shook the ashes out of his pipe.
"By daylight tomorrow you and !, Jabe,
will take up our march through the for
est until we gain a point in the st.
Lawrence where we may get some infor-
nation of the motions of the French.
We have made wide detour to avoid
their Indian allies, but / hope to out
flank them. As for thee, my Ariel,
he continued in French, and with
tinge of pathos in his voice,
''thou knowest the task before
thee. / trust thy native instinct to
find the way to the Mohawk valley and
the home of my friend Charles Selwyn.
Thou wilt give him this letter, in which
1 have commended thee to his protec-
ton, and | doubt not that he will shell
ter thee until happier days shall restore
thee to thy master" The boy sat gaz-
ing into the fire as if he were reading
his fate in the embers. One han half
concealed the face which rested on it;
the other grasped that of his master.
At daybreak the party arose, and pad
ding across the stream secreted the
canoe under a pile of brush and leaves.
They were ready for the march. Ariel

LARGE OYSTERS NOW IN STYLE.

New York Star: Fashion has chang

fault, if 1t ever existed except in English

perfect, and even few drops of lemon
Juice seem not only superfluous. but an
Insult to the bivalve. When you see
uneducated barbarians spread red
pepper, salt and vinegar on such oys-
ters one almost has a spasm of horror
and sympathizes with the immortal
chef who discharged himself from
noble dukes kitchen because he had
learned that his grace had put salt into
his soup .'in sight of all his company"
His argument was that the soup, being
perfection, needed no seasoning. and
no true epicure would commit such an
outrage. The chef was right, and his
doctrine is especially applicable to the
best oysters served this fall They are
like ripe and sound Strawberries moth
ing can improve them, no manner of
cooking can make them better than
when they came from their beds.
