LET the work OF education go brayely

Washington county will do their duty
molly. We have no fear of the afirma-
tive Of the bond question being de.
feated, if the matter in all its features
and details is laid properly before the
people. There is ample time to work
all opposition out Of the way, or so re-
duce it that it will amount to u mere
nothing. The opportunities are all
favorable. Success is within the grasp
of the friends Of the roads, But they
should be constantly up and doing,
and leave no effort unmade to add
strength to their ranks The larger
the majority for the bonds the more
gratifying and encouraging will be
the result, "a long pull, strong pull
and a pull altogether and all will be
well.

CHICAGO has glorifed Gen. Grant in
bronze. This may be all right. The
Windy City should now make good
her claim to christian generosity and

provisions for the comfort and susten-
ance of her thousands ofneedy people.

One word with regard to the ore 1t opened
better than we expected. 1t mostly hematite;
but there are some brown ores. AS to the
quantity, well, so far as our experience goes,
and so far as the development has gone, there
appears to be no reason for the present genera
ton troubling themselves on this point. Our
manager reports that the ores are well within
the Bessemer limits. Exclusive of the ores
which we shall require to burn in our own

SOME OF ITS RESOURCES.

Ist. 1t is in the midst of fine
agricultural section. The cereals,
tobacco, the grasses and all kinds Of
fruits grow to perfection. There is
no better section for the stockman,
the cattle breeder, or the fruit
grower.
I'd. 1t has at its gates an unlim-
tied supply of the finest timber.
Nearly all of the hard woods
abound in vast quantities An ex-
cellent point for wood working
plants of every description.
sd. 1t is literally hedged IN by
mountains of iron ores. Red and
brown hematite abound in mex
haustible quantities. 1t lies almost
at the base of the Cranberry Noun
taias, for whose celebrated mag
netic ores it is the natural outlet Its
proximity to the magnetic ores on
the east and coal fields on the west
must certainly make it the steel
making centre of the South.
4th. Limestone is found here in
quantities beyond estimation, and of
the best quality.
9Th. Its railroad facilities will
soon be all that can be desired. 1t
now has four roads, 1.-TWO of which
are great trunk lines with more to
follow.
9th. It's climate is good and
healthful Its altitude is 1850 feet
above the level Of the sea, and its
scenery is superb.
9TH. 1t has population, accord
ing to the last census, of loo, an
increase Of COZ per cent. over the
census of $50, when it had only 6S5.

to fifteen grammar schools, in order that

should be adopted in the public schools of
all cities where daily weather charts are
issued by the Government Weather
Bureau. For all students of geography

dispensable. But this knowledge can be

Says the New York Mercury: The
English exchanges are just now busily
engaged in suggesting ways of making
village life attractive and keeping rural
young men and women at home. There
as here, the cities are drawing away
from home the sinew aud bloom of the
country and agricultural life suffers by
the change. This was the experience of
Italy after Rome became great city,
and all France is suffering now because
Paris has world of amusements to offer.
It begins TO look as if the tendency of
population to the towns were irresistible,
and as if the world must prepare to ac-
cept the fact that farn life is becoming
discreditable in the eyes of the energetic
of both sexes.

/ once heard Of some blind men who were
taken to menagerle. They had gone
around the animals, and four of them were
allowed to touch an elephant as they went
past. They were discussing afterward what
kind of creature the elephant was. One
man who had touched its tail, said the ele-
phant was like rope. Another of the blind
men, who had touched his hind limb, said
''No such thing the elephant is like the
trunk of tree Another, who had felt its
sides, said, THAT is all rubbish; an elephant
is thing ike wall" And the fourth. who
had felt its ear. said that an elephant was
like none of these things; it was like a
leather bag. Now men look at truth at diff
ferent bits of it, and they see different things,
Of course. and they are very apt to Imagine

French journals are making much ado
over the use of the field telegraph in the
recent army maneuvers. The fact that
the wires were kept we'll up with the
front of the advancing army and that at
all times the principal commanders had
telegraphic communication with every
part of their commands is regarded by
the Prussians as something wholly new
in military science. Veterans of the
American Civil War will be amused at
this pretention, AYERS the Chicago Times.
At time when more serious business
than holiday maneuvering was on hand
the telegraphic corps of the Northern
army followed the fighters and conducted
its operations often under hot fire.

Sunday postage stamps are to be pro-

cording to the relative number of letters

OF the letter-writing public wants the

do, then the carriers are to be freed from

MUTTON PoTPIE.

Cut most of the meat from three or

your mutton, and put the bones over in
plenty of cold water; then cut the meat
in thick slices and these in inch squares.
Cut also half pound of salt pork in
thin strips about two inches long by
half an inch wide. Add a small onion
with two cloves stuck in 1t, and simmer
the whole for an hour longer until the
meat is quite tender. Have your crust
ready, prepared as for chicken pot pie;
drop it in with handful of chopped
parsley or little thyme, and boil until
the crust is done. Roll three or four

As dawned on sacred Palestine,

Gods Hand is Ger us still nor we
Need strain our faith to reach the Love
That walked in distant Ga Heel
y days of resurrection JOY,
When furrowed graves are opened wide,
And dull unsightly germs appear
In living bodies glorifed.
Lush grapes like swinging eensers hang
From richly laden boughs, and ill
The fields with incense as the sun
Illumines fruitful vale and bill.
The orchard eolors glow and greet
With sweets the sweetness of The hay,
And Harvest-Moon forbids the night
To be less beautiful than dayl

Sweet chroniclers of smile and tear,
OF light and shadow, pain and toll,

Some fruit of deed fain would show,
Perfected by life's smiles and tears,

Shakespeare and Plato tower above the in

them and it seems impossible to measure the
interval that separates them from the intel

Jewish in that era of the world, in Pal

the Olympus of Athens on the other, ever
produced this religion with Its characteristic
elements, be towers so far bove Shakespe re

much superior to Athens, and to England,
as this Jewish youth was, if he was mere
man. than it is to believe that in the fulnfss
