observed with deep interest by the

out bloodshed and violence. | trust this
circumstance may prove happy augury of

course and enlarge the commercial ex-
changes between the two republics"

AMERICAN EDUCATION.

Some Of its Defects Pointed Dat By .
Prominent Irish Scholar.
What intelligent visiting foreigners
think Of manners and customs in our re-
public is always interesting to the
thoughtful citizen. The latest Of such
critics is Prof. Mahaffy, of Dublin, who
studied particularly certain aspects Of
university education in this country.
Regarding one. at least Of his subjects
Of study. he came to distinct conclusions
which have direct interest for Amer
leans.
The professor maintains that there il
no clearly cut standard of culture among
us. He intsmates that wealth is in all
but q few of the larger cities either the
most potent factor in determining a de-
sire for culture. or is . satisfactory 50.
cial substitute for the charm Of mind,
manners and conversation which should
be possessed by cultured persons. After
remarking that most American college
presidents and instructors are under.
paid, Prof. Mahafy writes:
The ability OF . nation will not run into such
poor and narrow channels, but will surely seek
" thoSC 0to WADAA tNho W "N0ttu ~
country where wealth is the only aristocracy."
The professor is much troubled by what
he hints is the vagueness Of theAmerican
standard of culture, and with apparent
reason, inasmuch as . graduate of our
larger colleges
does not enjoy the rank to which he is en-.
titled, when some hundred other colleges con-

on very different educated students. In some
colleges one can graduate as IN A. b without
knowing on, word OF Greek or even Latin, .
fact which. when understood in Europe will
tend to make us suspicious OF all American de.
grees.'
There is enough truth in the profess
or's deductions to make them worthy Of
careful scrutiny. 1t can not be doubted
that the standard of culture in America
is more accommodating than it is in Eu-
rope with its centuries of governmental
nurture Of learning. But, on the other
hand, practical education is more widely
difused in u republic than it is
abroad. It is also true that moro and

DIGESTION.

Ailments That Trace Their Origin Back
to the stomach.
This is a common complaint, for it is
merely the forerunner Of dyspepsia
that curse of the American people. De-
ranged digestion ranges from the slight
disturbance of the organs Of digestion
up to the most agonizing dyspepsia,
when it is painful to eat any thing but
the o easily assimilated food. From
the earliest. times this complaint was
known, but with the advance Of civiliza-
ton it has increased. until of late years
about every fifth person is suffering
more or less from it. Despite the warn
ing Of doctors and the press, people care
lessly 60 on in their accustomed way,
regardless of the consequence. Poor
digestion finally gives way to
acute dyspepsia; then the whole
system becomes affected, until, the
patient is q wreck. The food that is put
upon the stomach can not he properly
assimilated; the system, as a result.
does not get sufficient nourishment, for
the lack of which the other organs work
harder for q time to make up for the
loss. and then finally YEA out, refuse to
do their work properly, various diseases
follow, and life becomes a burden. Kid
ney and liver complaints, backache,
nervousness. headaches and a whole list
of other complaints often trace their
origin back to the stomach. 1t natural
ly follows from this that one can not be
too careful with this important part Of
the body. and on the first sign of de-
ranged digestion the cause should be
inquired into, and if possible, rem.
edied. The stomach, and its needs,
should be studied by each one. A fair
trial of any food which is supposed todisa-
gree with one should be made. and then,
if found injurious, it should be discard
ed from the bill of fare forever. Solid
food should always he given plenty of
time to digest, and not taken on the
stomach in too large quantities. Avoid
the use of alcoholic drinks; the warm
drinks before meals. especially warm
water; do not begin mental or physical
work too soon after meals. Give the
rest of the body a short holiday while |
the stomach works. II these directions
are followed out many diseases would
be avoided, and dyspepsia become an
unknown quantity. except in persons
peculiarly susceptible to the complaint
from birth.-Yankee Blade.

OUR DARLING.

Last autumn, the naples were golden,
Inc oak wore a chaplet of red,
Like wings the white clouds were unfOldcn,
In the infinite blue overhead.
ana all on the ~roadways were rallies

And all on the hills and the valleys
Inc mists were a silvery sheen.
Oh! flowers uncounted and lustred

And new on the wind from our sight,,
Our darling was here when your sweetness
Made sweetcr our heaven Of home,

Was it fancy that never SO tender

To bless US in hurrying days.

AZ earth names forever, our dove
would Groom her sweet songs at our hearth.

And brighten our eyes with her love.
For alas, when the Angel stood knocking

We cried: "Surely God can not know it,"
Our souls pleaded: wherefore this wasteY'

Two examples Of the mode in which

In one case, at the assizes in q Midland

dence clearly pointed to her guilt: but
the circumstances were painful. and to
the general relief Of everybody in court
the jury declared her not guilty. Asked
privately how they came to deliver such
a verdict, the foreman stated that he
had een the black cap lying on the
