THE BLAIR BILL.

The report is that the vote on the Blair educational bill in the senate will be very close. The chances are that it will be defeated there. There seems to be an understanding that the house is ready to pass the bill, and President Harrison does not feel like treating il with . veto. In this state of affairs. the responsibility is all with the senate. It is pretty strongly felt in republican quarters. Aside from the opposition of Senator Hawley, who isagainst it on constitutional grounds. and of the Maine senators, who don't like to have the south get so heavy sums of money as will come to its states in this way, there are a number of republicans who look with sobering effect upon SO extensive a draft upon the public treasury as will be needed to meet the requirements of the measure. It isn't going to be any aid to them as they go into the next national election, and they do not forget the fact. The chances are that this will defeat Mir Blair's measure.

Several of them boareed tho train and hung to the platform un- til it was two miles above Phillipsburg. when they uncoupled the special car which contained the Freshmen.
 Tho Sophs jumped of in the darkness and walked back to the college. The air braked acted promptly and pre- vented the train coming toge ther, otherwise the detached car would have crashed into the forward cars, the coupling having been removed on a down grade.

The grand, snowcapped mountain, Whose high-reachiug peak Points ever to heaven, Of beauty doth speak. It dwells in the flowers, And spring -bubbling dells; We find it perfected In rose tinted shells.

 As he skins through the air, And it glealns in the sheen Of q maids gciden hair. But far better than all Is beauty of mind; It makes the poSsessor Both lovely and kind. Frances R1w-ins, in Chicago Herald.
