This is indicated by the presence of peat in

[Aneiia Rires in The North american Revie,0.l
Not only have I thought constantly and
deeply ON the subject for many years, but /
have had during that time intimate and
affectionate relations with many children, both
boys and girls of widely varied natures, and
the conclusion at which / have arrived is that
this natural curiosity CT growing minds in re-
gard to all subjects should be met by older peo-
pie with wise and judieious tolerance, and
satisfied with disclosure of as much as is the
truth as the grown person in question thinks
the child capable of comprehending. Of course,
in the moral education of young girls, due
reference should be had to their characters
tics both of body and mind. Some intellects can
digest and benefit by knowledge which would
only burden and disturb those less strong or
those which are unduly excitsble and imagina-
tive. That which, according to my views,
should be avoided, is q system of training
from which all instruction, at least all clear
instruction, as to the rules of health and life,
has been vigorously eliminated. knowledge
OF the laws which govern physical nature seem
to me not only the right of every thinking
being, but the only means by which people
will ever be brought to look simply, wisely,
and innocently at certain fundamental facts,
upon which rests the whole structure of ex-
iStence.

Stone was one of the most honorable and loyal
men in the land. and the disgraceful treatment
he received at the hands of his Government
bore him to an untimely grave. Gen. Mcclellan
thought it best for his own greatness that
scapegoat should be found for all disasters.
Poor Stone was selected for Balls Bluff. This
place bears tho proud distinction Of containing
the smallest National Cemetery in the land,
only 25 graves are known and 25 unknown.
This cemetery is generally neglected on Me-
mortal Day.
All the parties to this sad affair have long
since passed over to the silent majority. be-

The Price of Coal.

An investigation is in progress by New
York State Senate Committee regarding the
recent advances in coal prices. President Nc
Leod, before the committee, said that the ad-
vances in coal this year were simply repeti-
tion of advances that occur every year.
An advance Of so cents over present prices
would enable the company to get a fair profit.
1t was shown that 1890 was worse year than
1891 for the coal barons. In order to increase
prices Mcleod said that the combination must
have the cooperation of the 40 per cent. of the
entire production which is not controlled by

Some mention must be made of the mighty
Thames" rs this stream figures in literature.
In the minds Of Euglshmen it ranks in i'm.
portance with the Danube of Europe and the
Mississippi of our own country. " Have you
such stream in your country" asked an
English man of an American fellow traveller.
The question was not hard to answer. In Lon
don the river is q dirty, unnteresting stream.
Above the city. before the water has become
discolored by the filth and waste Of the mighty
metropolis it is beautiful stream. Some en-
tbusiastc travellers rank the scenery with the
Rhine and Hudson. At any rate, the poet
may be pardoned if his sentimental soul is
stirred and responds in verse. Below the city
it broadens out. and near its mouth acquires
the dignity of a good-size stream. Here it is
lined with large docks which are constantly
filed with vessels. Flags of all nations hoat
to the breeze, jabberings of all tongues can be
heard.
The five sections which / have made OF

Mary A.. Winters has a suit in the district
court asking for a divorce from Harry z.

Boulder Aug. 80. 1891. She alleges that her

that she is left homeless and destitute and
is hsart-broken and injured in her feelings.
Mrs. Winters says he induced her to marry
him by holding himself out AS a man

and willing to perform the marriage relation
in all things. Mrs. Winters also says her
husband caused a statement to be published
in THE INDEPENDENT which Is untrue and

about 500, 600, and asks That the court al

Three DEGREES we're signed yesterday By
Judge Knowles for unlawful fencing OF
public lands in Fergus county. The de-
PENDANTS had a novel scheme. Each has q
ranch for which he has a government
patent. The ranches are so situated that
by building . fence on their own ground a
continuous line was mode from the Phil
brook and Ubet road to the foot Of the Bell
mountains. In this way several thousand
acres of grazing land was enclosed, natural
obstacles forming the .other lines OF on
closure. The three ranchmen, g. A. Perrine,
A. 9. Greene and Geo. jackson thus enjoyed
exclusive use of the large range tor theil
live stock. Other stockmen who were shu1
out went to United States Attorney Weed
who brought suit against the three men
with the result that they were ordered t.
take the fences down on or before April %
If the fences are still in place on that date
the United States marshal 10 ordered to re-
move them. The entire line OF fencing will
probably not be torn down, but enough Q
it 80 as to make several lanes or inlets K
the range for the use of other stockmen
The idea Of the three defendants seems Il
have been that the fencing was on lane
owned by them. and hence perfectly legal
but it amounted in effect to an enclosure o:
a portion of the public domain. The COST
in each case amounted to $685..
The ranchman jackson is now in the in
sane asylum at Warm Springs. He marriet
a woman about seventy years old, who own,
ono Of the ranches. which is said to b
worth $4,000. The young man married no
six years ago. Two weeks ago he was ad
Judged insane. 1t is supposed that tn
mortgage on the property and possibly tn
