WASHINGTON. Special Telegram,
The president is going to get as much of
holiday while congress has its three weeks
of recess as he can. The announcement is
made from the White House that appoint

houses come together again. Ifthis applies
to the new states, it will leave somewhat
unusual condition of affairs. Montana,
Washington and North Dakota have been
full-tlcdged states for two months, and as
yet there are no federal courts organized in
them. No judges have been appointed or
other officials under the judges. This, how
ever, is due to the fact that rccommcnda-
tons have not been made by the senators
and congressman here. In fact, the dclega-
tions from the new states sem to be both

whole, undoubtedly favorable to
virtue. Milton says the end of
learning is to repair the ruins of
our first parents; by regaining the
knowledge of God Alright, and out
of that knowledge to love him, to
initiate him, to be like him. "For
Christ and the Church," was and is
the motto of the first College found
ed in America and substantially Of
this and most American colleges.
Out CT 1858 colleges, only thirty are
known to be secular in their origin
and management. 267 are known
to be under the care of different
churches. Milton says again, that
education should make men hate
the cowardice of doing wrong.
1t may further be confidently
assumed that educated minds will
enter the future state with higher
advantages than If they had not
received intellectual culture. No
treasure laid up in the mind itself
can be lost at death. All will be
called to give an account for the
use of education at the last day,
but eyery one who has used it we'll
will be promoted and enter into
the joy of his Lord.
The Mosaic law required parents
to educate their children in the
knowledge of Gods Word and in
all the duties of life. "Thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them

and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down, and
when thou risest up" Sons so in.
