The Glory of the Great Republic.
There are eloquent figures which cannot
be repeated too often and which men are

this great land has paid its debts, while
others have increased theirs, is one of
them. Here are the figures for quarter
of a century, a mere span in the life OF
nations and the life of national debts:

GERMAN PROFESSORS.
They Are Amazingly Profound hut Dry n

They Are Amazingly Profound HUT Dry ~
Sahara Desert Sand.
The reputation of German scholars
for thoroughness and patient, laborious
research is proverbial, and no one who
is we'll informed doubts that Germany
has more professors who are authorities
in the different departments of knowl-
edge than any other country, but it does
not always follow that the most learned
men are the best teachers, and until a
student has reached an advanced stage
no will often get better instruction from
n teacher a shade less proficient and
more practical. Some of these profess
sors are attractive and eloquent lee
turers, some are quite the reverse, and
for dry, tedious, untintelligible, utter
ly dispiriting lecture commend me to a
German professor who speaks fourteen
Oriental languages and can't tell hawk
from hand-saw. 1t is we'll to speak Of
the lore that is to be acquired in the
clustered shades of these ancient uni
versities, but let the student once enter
. dingy, poorly-lighted, chilly room
some winter evening at five o'clock and
listen to q professor, who for half an
hour, with a mumbling, indistinct articu-
lation and double-tracked, suspension
bridge sentences, explains the theory of
abnormal Latin roots of the third con-
jugation, and, like Bob Acres, he will
feel his courage oozing out. The Ger
man students are more thorough than
American because it lies in their nature
to undertake less and do it better A
German is like a locomotive, q powerful
machine as long as it is ON the track,
but perfectly helpless when once of,
while an American will either founder
back or find another track. Some Of the
Germans are prodigious scholars, and
seem to have laid the whole kingdom of
learning under tribute, but for general
intelligence, practical faculty and
| knowledge of current events 1 think
American students are superior. I'm
less one can read German fluently and
understands it when spoken, the first
| year after coming abroad will have to
be largely devoted to learning the Lam
guage. The marked superiority of Ger
many is in the professional departments
| of law and medicine. With us a Young
man who has not even a decent common
school education, takes two short terms
| Of Ave months each in medicine, and IL
let loose on tho community as q doctor.
An office boy of equally brilliant ao-
1 quirements dusts out a lawyers office
| and does errands, takes two terms in .
| night law school, and is shortly ad.
mitted to practice. Such an open dis
1 grace to both professions is not tolerated
here. A doctor or lawyer here has
spent several years in elementary
schools, four years in college, and from
four to Ave years in professional study.
II he is not gentleman and a scholar
he has at least had a chance to be, and
his actual requirements and preparation
for his work are far superior to those of
the young professional man in America.

THE LOTTERY EVIL.


rOnErcss to Make War Upon the l. pui~I-
ans Corporation.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-There is very
strong feeling here among Congress
men and Senators in regard to the
lottery business.
Despite the fact that the Louisiana
tended by che Legislature of that State,
Congress will surely enact strin-
gent log .slation against that corpora
tion.
The House Committee on Postoffices
and Pustroads, at IL late hour, decided
to submit IA sweeping bill to the Houss
which will make the lottery business
decidedly dangerous.
The bill is prepared with the idea of
absolutely prohibiting the use of the
mails, under any circumstances by the
lottery companies for the transmission
of tickets, money or printed matter APP
pertaining to their business.
Ii makes it a penal offence, punish
able by fine of $500, for depositing in
III Y mail box any mail matter relating
to lotteries in any manner. There is no
doubt that this bill-sweeping rs 1t is
will pass, and, in fnct, it may even be
made still more severe by coupling =
term of imprisonment with the penalty
of ~ fine.
In the new bill the Postmaster
General is authorized, upon evidence
of the existence of lottery or gift en-
terprise, to cause registered letters
directed to the company to be stamped
fraudulent" and returned to the
sender, and he may ais" forbid the
payment of money orders addressed to
a lottery or gift enterprise company.

entered the dingy dissecting hall
and drew near the table whereon the
corpse lay outstretched, with every line
exposed. The body was that of as per-
feet fashioned woman as / had ever
seen in flesh or marble. She was about
twenty-five years of age, with strongly
knit frame, and a wealth of auburn hair
that fell about the slab in disorder. The
face was handsome and serene. Tho
hands and feet were delicate; l noticed
that the forefinger Of the left hapd-was
pricked, and betrayed the hard-worked
needlewoman.
During the consultation of the chief
doctors over her case, when she was yet
alive, at which the students were all
present, had become convinced that an
operation with the knife might have
saved her. The head doctors, however,
thought otherwise, and as had no con-
sulting voice in the matter no surgical
operation was attempted. l impaired
my doubts to the students, who agreed
that I should get her body, as wished
to verify by post-mortem how far
wrong had been in my inference that
an operation on the living woman might
have been safely performed. The pa
tient fingered on for some time, so long,
in fact, that began to think she would
get we'll again and / defrauded of an in

those dull, lustreless orbs. The jaws

just asserted by Secretary Noble in a
deeision rendered in the appeal case
brought by Henry Booth and James +.
Robson, who had located homestead
and preemptive entries upon lands
within the grant of the Central Pacific
railroad company In the Salt Lake City

denied the appeal, holding that the

done in the senate, the fight between

writes to the Hartford Courant that the
people of Georgia are at present full of

not so full of churches as the west. A

population of 24O with three churches.
Moscow, Iowa, with population of Ell
has two churches. But Ayrshin, lowar,
is the fullest. With population of 1875,
