Nicaragua botanical Expedition.

BY the courtesy of Hon. Warner Mil
Ter, President of the Nicaragua Canal
Company, Professor Mcbride, of the
State University, is rendered free trans
portation through all parts of Nicara-
qua and all assistance necessary either
of men or machinery to further. the
scientific work of the study and inFesti-
CATION of the flora of the whole region.
The Professor, though at this, time I'M
able to leave his work in the university
and accept personally the advantages
for Investigations offered by the Com
pany through Mr.. Miller, considers the
opportunity too good thing both for
science and for the university to lose,
and therefore has appointed Mr.. Bo-
humil Shimek, University instructor in
Botany, and Mr.. Charles Il. Smith,
graduate of 81, as the party of the ex-
pedition. They will leave here on De-
cember 10, 1892, and 60 by way of New
Orleans to Greytown, Nicaragua, and
under the direction of Professor Nc
Bride will investigate and report upon
the flora along the line of the Canal.
The expedition, by the kindness and
liberality of the Illinois Central Rail-
way Company, receives free tranBporta-
tion from Chicago to New Orleans, an
other instance of the State University
receiving material aid from great rail-
road corporations, towards furtheTing
scientific Investigations.
The fora of Nicaragua, in SO far as It
pertains TO towering plants, has In part
been published, though many parts of
the country hayeneyer been invaded by
the scientist. The Cryptogamia of the
region is wholly unknown. The uni
versity may therefore not only expect
large additions 10 its HerhaTium col
| lection, but also TO add not 9 little to
the sum total of human knowledge.
The expedition viii be heard from at
intervals during the winter, and will
return about the Ist of April, 1898,
when fuI report win be made.

is to be restored to the church of Rome.
Archbishop COrrigan said: "Dr. Nc
Glynn is coming back to the church.
He was communicated simply for
disobeying the POpe's request to go TO
Rome. l cannot say just what the
Doctor is to do before he is restored.
You can state now, however, that a
settlement satisfactory to both sides
has been made" Archbishop COrrigan
further stated that the arrangements
for the settlement of this question were

AND HERE TOO.-There are large
number of small boys growing up in
New Sharon in way that most GER
tainly bears promise of harvest of
heavy heartache for parents. Small
boys under twelve years of age are al
lowed to roam the streets and frequent
theloafing places during the day andlate
hours at night. They naturally learn to
swear, hear and repeat filthy stories,
smoke the poisonous cigarettes, the dirty
cigar and the more filthy pipe. Tobacco
chewing is added to their other disgust
ing and demoralizing habits. Just how
parents can avoid the responsibility of
these results we cannot imagine. When
boys who areyet attending school in the
primary rooms are found on our streets
late at night, swearing oaths that send
cold chills through the hearts of Thought
full, moral people, smoking weeds, the
stencil of which would drive skunk
from his den, there is something radi-
cally wrong with those who are charged
with the duty of proper training of these
small lads. May God pity these boys
whose parents fail to direct and keep
them in brighter, purer and safer paths,
and may He awaken parents to proper
sense of their duty and responsibilities.
Mother, where is your boy tonight? ? AT
home with his books and papers, fitting
himself for a useful and honorable life,
or running the streets, treading the
downward road that leads to his dis
honor and your disgrace? So says the
New Sharon Star.

Into a world where monsters grim

So heed this counsel give unto you;

And want each lad to have full measure ;
But don't think that rum and tobacco and

Have any business with unalloyed pleasure.

You'll win, only keep God and mother in
