The public school Is the greatest power on earth today in moulding the character of nations. It exceeds all other agencies combined that has to deal with human na- ture. As yon mould the character in child hood, so it will remain through life Solo mon never said wiser thing than ''train up child in the way 1t should go, and when it gets old it will not depart from it. !" In all the realms of nature there is found nothing so helpless and innocent as a child, and yet nothing of greater import anee. When we look upon this, the most helpless of all Gods creatures, We see that in addition to eorporeal organs and powers, it has a spiritual nature. In these organs themselves, with their ceaseless but not unmeaning activity. there are evil dences that this little being is endowed with intelligence, sensibility, and will.
 These powers exist in early infancy as germs which are destined to burst forth. and which, like the vegetating powers of

MARINE MISHAPS.
Four Reports of the Inspectors
of Steam Vessels.

The United States Local Inspectors of
Steam Vessels, E. s. Talbot and james Hill
man. have made their reports on four col
lisions. and their findings are substantially
as follows:
The fouling of the steamer Alameda with
the schooner Robert and Minnie at the ferry
slip at Oakland on December 9tn was due
to the schooner, which had been moo red
near the slip for couple of days, having
slipped her lines and gene aground. Under
the circumstances no attempt had been made
to make her fast, and on the approach Of the
Alameda the suction drew her into the line
of the snip, Captain ID. McKechnie, pilot
in charge of the Alameca, is exonerated of
all blame in the matter.
The collision of the steamer Jeanne and
the schooner Electra Off Point Arena on the
LIST inst. was found to be due to the smoke
of the steamer obstructing the view of the
officer on its lookout and To the fact that the
steamer had no torch light. As in the
former case, both vessels tried to avoid the
collision. but too late. No blame was at
tacned for that reason.
The collision of the steamers Leader and
Vigiiant, which collided in the bay on Janu-
airy 10Th, causing about $50 damages to the
former, was found to be due to a miSun-
Outstanding of the signals given, and when
this became apparent both pilots eXerted
their uttermOst 10 prevent the collision. No
blame was attached to either pilot
On the 10Th of October the steamer Will
mingtOn and schooner Mayfiower collided
off Point Reyes. Captain Marshall of the
steamer heard the fog signals, but did not
observe them. His license consequently is
suspended for fifteen days from February

honor which had come to him. Among the
nrst to wish him hearty success was Colonel
Macdonald of the Second Artillery, who,
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, was also a candidate for the General
snip On Thursday already, among others,
a telegram was received from Brigadier-
General Cutting announcing to the Colonel
the probability of his appointment and also
rendering his congratulations. Colonel
Dicklnsons promotion was not made with
out having to overcome considerable oppo-
sition, based only on personal animosties
OF meddlesOme persons not connected with

The advancement of Colonel Dickinson
will necessarily change the place in line of
the four batalions of the brigade. The
First, which has had the right since the re-

Second Artillery in November, 1885, will
have its place taken By the Second, Colonel
Macdonald; the Third Infantry, Colonel

The New York Tribune Almanac for 1891
is publication of $50 pages, and as a reg
lister of political affairs, which it principally
aims to be, is without peer Owing to the
fact that the year 1890 has been one of the
most remarkable in the history of American
politics, aud therefore to keep up with the
progress of events, the Iribune's almanac
has also found it necessary to 60 far beyond
the limits of its issues IN the past. The
comprehensive scope of this work is one of
its neatest features, for it contains list of
all public acts before the Forty-first Con-
gress and how disposed of and an analysis
