Perhaps one of the wittiest things
from the greatest wit of the world was
that of Sidney Smith to the Duchess
of Marlborough. She was a great
lover of flowers, and had just procured
a rare pea-vine from India. 1t did not
seem to thrive, and when Sidney Smith
came to the house one day she, know
ing his fondness for flowers, showed
him through her conservatory. Going
toward the pea-vine, she exclaimed:
90, Mr.. Smith, I'm so afraid my
beautiful pea will never come to per
lection"
"Then permit me, my dear madam,
to lead perfection to the pea," taking
her arm and conducting her to the vine.

speech for the prosecution, and then

was to pretend that L did that on pur-

That's all there is to it."

WAR OVER THE SEA.

HostiIities Opened Between England and
Portugal.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-It is reported here,
but the officials at the admiralty and
the foreign office discredit the report,
that a British gunboat ran into and
sank Portuguese eunboat at the
mouth of the Zambesi River.
Conflicting reports have been re-
ceived regarding the situation of affairs
at the mouth of the Zambesi
River. One report alleges that
one of the British stern wheel
gunboats attempted to pass
up the river, to prevent which line OF
Portuguese gunboats had been anchored
across the mouth of the river with in
structions to passively receive the pass

ents of schools. completed to-day and
now made public for the first time,
shows some facts that are of great inter-
est in view of the fight that is being
made on the public school system and
the principle of compulsory educa-
ton. The report shows that
in the school year Of 1889
the total attendance at the public
schools Of Wisconsin was 2S4 ,036, while
in the fiscal year of 18S990 the attend
ance was 294, 970-an increase of 1884
under the Bennett law. In the school
year of 1S8S-S9 the number f children
of Bennett law school age lover and
under 14) attending public schools was
210,057 while those between the ages
named who attended private schools
numbered SO, 560-a total of 243 ,61O. In
the school year of 1S89-90, the attend
ance at public schools Of children be-
tween the ages of and IA years was
225,344, and 3S,50S of private schools-a
total of 263, 052, and an increase since
the passage of the Bennett law Of 20, 235
in all the schools of the state.
In 1883 the percentage OF children
in the state who attended public
schools was 1873, while in 1SS9-9O it had
increased to 1853. The percent
age In private schools the
first named period was 11.S, and in the
second period under the Bennett law
,-13.1.
In 1889, before the Bennett law be-
come effective. 14.3 per cent. of the
children in the state, between the
ages of Z ana IA years, did not
attend any school. In 18S9-90, under
the Bennett law, the percentage of those
attending no school was reduced to 1916.
This shows conclusively what the
Bennett law is doing for the children of
Wisconsin.
The report shows further that the cost
of the school per individual in
the years of 1852 was $11.10,
while in 1SS9-9O the cost was
S11 .02-a reduction of 5 per cent per
scholar.
So much for the Bennett law.
