The Worlds Fair School Exhibit.

1t is wise provision Of the managers
Of the worlds fair that our public schools
will be represented in an exhibition OF their
work, as far as methods. plans, school
room appliances and manuscript work can
show intellectual workmanship. The
school exhibit from each state is under the
direct control of the state school rommis-
sioner. The general plan given by our
commissioner, as announced two months
ago, was that q school exhibit be held 10
each county of the state at the respective
county seats, not later than February l,
1893, and that such exhibits be in charge
of an executive committee Of five persons,
chosen by the county institute. 1t was ar
ranged that the work should be divided
into four classes
.(a) Work Of subdistrict schools where
not more than three teachers are EN-
ployed.
(b) Graded schools of villages and spec
ial districts.
(c) Graded schools Of cities.
(d) High schools.
1t was arranged that all work should be
prepared by the pupils themselves and
handed to their teacher, who, without cor.
recting or altering in any particular, should
place it in the hands Of the county COM
mittee to be arranged by them at the
county exhibit. From the work thus pre-
sented the committee was 10 choose the
best and forward to Columbus, when a.

The overdue Cunard steamer Umbria ar
rived at her dock in New York Saturday
morning, 12l days from Queenstown-the
longest passage on record for crack ocean
racer. 1t proved that when five days out
she broke her shaft in heavy storm, and
the delay was due to this accident. She
was spoken by several vessels, and one
small steamship attempted to tow her in,
but the cable parted in heavy gale at
night and the two ships lost sight of each
other. Much disappointment was felt by
the passengers because the Gallia, of the
same line, en- route from Boston to Liver
pool, which appeared and was signalled on
tse third day after the accident, did not
either stand by or take the disabled ship in
tow, and no explanation of the Galla's ac-
ton has yet been given by the Cunard COM
pany. The passengers suffered no incon-
vcnience aside from the delay, and there
was no panic or alarm at any time.

CLOUDS OF DEPRESSION
Hang Over Europe, while America Is
Prosperous.

Cirent Losses In England, Russia Laps
Ing Into IIopeIessucss, and Cholera
Threatening TO Burst Forth over n
Large Area.
II almost took Europes breath away to
read in the dispatches from New York that
the closing year had been one of uneX-
ampled prosperity in America, writes the
New York Times's correspondent in his
cable letter of December 3lst. If there
exists on this side of the Atlantic a man
who thinks that 1892 has been good year,
his whereabouts is unknown. | should
think that never before has there been such
a unanimous consensus of sentiment in the
Old World as on this matter of denouncing
the twelvemonth which happily expires to-
night. Good radiance is in every heart,
on every tongue.
England's share in this general outcry is
quite strictly financial. Her investing and
small income classes lost about S400 000,-
600 in 1891, and they seem to have lost
some 5000 100000 on top of that in this
1892. One hears on every side in the city
tales Of the shrinkage of values as sweeping
and disastrously. complete as the story in
"The Arabian Nights" of the jewels which
turned into dry leaves. But that happened
in single night; this has been torture
drawn out through two long years. With
the true gaming spirit of their race, how
evet, Engishmen are looking hopefully to
1898 to set everything right again.
The cloud of depression which shadows
the passing of the old year on the continent
has no such silver lining. 1t is not in any
ones power there to see how 1893 can well
help being worse than 1892, even if we
leave out of account the regularly, remorse-
! lessly increasing burdens upon industry,
commerce, and capital piled up by mlitar-
ism. There is an apparent prospect of
Russia lapsing into a state of hopeless in
| solvency, famine and turbulence, and there
seems little doubt that there will be an
early and malignant Tecrudescence of chOl-
era in central and western Europe.
Cholera has managed to keep itself alive
in Hamburg almost without intermssion,
and it is continually springing up in isolated
| hamlets along the North sea coast, in the
Netherlands, and in French Flanders. One
tiny village in the DGpartement du Nord
has had II deaths in two days this week.
Before the autumnal frosts set in the pest
had worked its way into twO-thirds of the
| river systems of Europe, and was just be-
! ginning serious ravages in Hungary, Po-
| land, and the Ukraine. 1t is q legitimate
assumption that warm weather will see it
! burst forth simultaneously over vast area,
| and run such a course as our generation
! has not seen before.

No administration has had so many sad
surroundings as the present one. 1t will
be recalled that the house of Secretary
Tracy was destroyed by fire and his wife
and daughter were burned to death in the
ruins. After a long illness the wife of Mr..
Halford the Presidents private secretary,
died While Mr.. Blaine was secretary of
state his tavorite son, Walker, was strick-
en- down and never recovered, and soon
after his retirement from the cabinet,
within a week or two, another son, Em-
mons Blaine, died almost without a mo-
ments warning. His daughter, Mrs. Cop
pinger, also died while he was a member
of the cabinet, and one of his sisters.
Secretary Window of the treasury depart
ment while in New York to make speech
at banquet died at the table. The chief
usher at the executive mansion, Mr.. Dins-
more, has died within the year.
In the Presidents own household sor-
rows came thick and fast. A sister of his
wife has died within the past year or two.
Mrs. Harrison, after patient suffering,
breathed her last in the White House, and
was followed few days after by her ven-
cradle father 1t seems only question of
short time when Mr. Blaine will be add
ed to the list of those associated with
President Harrson's administration who
did not live through the four years term.

The Beautiful Falls Of Montrenot In
Danger of Practical Extinction,

The Beautiful Falls Of NIOntrenoi In
Danger of Practical Extinction.
A dispatch from Montreal to the Herald
says the beauty is likely to depart from the
far-famed Falls of Montmorenci, so famil-
lar to all American tourists to Quebec.
The entire waterfall and all the surround
ing property has just passed into the hands
of the Quebec Electric Light company, the
price paid for it being the bagatelle of
S230,000. Already the company has been
utilizing portion of the water power from
the river above the cataract as motive pow
er for its dynamos, which, situated in a
factory near the foot of the falls, furnish
all the lights for the illumination of the
streets of Quebec.
Now the company is likely to draw off so
largely increased an amount of water for the
proposed extension of its operations that
there will be little or none left, particularly
in the dry season, to come over the preci-
pce.
1t is proposed to manufacture electrical
motive power for all the factories and other
industrial houses in Quebec as well as stor-
age light for all the passenger cars of the
Canadian Pacific railway New iron sup
ply pipes 1900 feet long and feet in dia-
meter are being constructed TO tap the river
above the falls, and some of the water so
conducted will be used twice over, one of
the new factories being erected half way up
the cliff adjoining the cataract.
A lake 20 miles up the river will proba-
bly, be damned in order to insure a supply
of water in dry seasons.

EIectIng "A Black Governor in Rhode
Island.

A rollicking time in Rhode Island in the
old colonial days was the election of the
black governor. After the white people
had elected the governor of the state, the
slaves had a curious custom of gathering
together on the third Saturday in June,
and electing black governor. To this
election the negroes went in fine style, on
Narragansett PAGERS, with their wives on
pillions behind them. All were dressed in
their finest clothes, with swords and with
powdered hair, and often a long false que
tied on behind. When all had gathered
together, the vote was taken by the op-
posing parties forming into two long lines,
with the respective candidates at the head /;
the lines then were counted and the long
est line elected its candidate. After the
election a supper and dance was given, for
which the white owner of the newly elect
ed black governor had to pay. The last
election of slave governor was held in
1900, but the custom of ''Nigger Lection"
day did not die out through New England
until many days later.-Nc0 England
Magazine for January.

a Blow at Canada.
4 story from the New York SUN.

story from the New York sun.
The New York Sun says that President
Harrison, the secretary of the treasury and
the secretary of state, have practically
determined to make the outgoing of the
Harrison administration notable by blow
at Canada much more vital than the recent
order imposing tolls on Canadian vessels
passing through the Sault Ste Marie canal.
The blow will come in shape of the long
threatened proclamation curtailng or abol-
ishing the privileges, now enjoyed by Cana
dian railroads, of transporting merchan-
disc i'm bond through the United States
free of duty, under n saystem very advan-
tage0us to foreign roads, at the expense of
American companies. There have. been
promises of such retaliation as this for
several years, but there is every indication
now that the step so long contemplated by
the United States government is about to
be taken. The attorney of the Canadian
Pacific railroad is here in consultation with
congressional friends of the Canadian
roads, and there is evidence of genuine
alarm in the minds of the friends of Cana
dian interests. Representatives of the great
American trunk lines, iniuriously affected
by the policy now in force, are quietly, but
energetcally, encouraging the move, and
are confident that some definite results,
greatly curtaling the transportation privil-
eges of the Canadian roads, will soon be
reached.

A victory for DIR. RrIggs.

The trial of DR.. Briggs for heresy be-
fore the New York presbytery has ended
in verdict in his favor on each of the six
charges, The closest vote was on the
charge that DR.. Briggs taught that the
scriptures contained errors in history and
in fact. Only 81 voted that such teaching
constituted heresy, while 6S voted against
sustaining the charge. This does not end
the case, for an appeal will be taken to the
general assembly, which meets next May
in Washington. The acquittsl of DR..
Briggs will have profound effect through
out church circles in the United States.
His courageous assertion of the right of
Independent judgment in theological af-
fairs, and the repeated attempts of his ad-
versaries to secure his condemnation as a
hereto, have aroused degree of interest
in the case which is perhaps unparalleled
in the annals of the Presbyterian church
in America. The result of the trial marks
a signal advance in the trend of religious
thought.

The Republicans VIII Try to Control

A Washington despatch of yesterday
says: The Republicans of the Senate met
in caucus this morning to consider the
order of business and such other matters as
might come before them. The meeting
was an interesting one, and resulted in the
initial steps being taken that will be the
beginning of bitter fight for the control
of the next Senate. If there has been any
belief that the Republicans intended to
permit the organization of the next Senate
to go by default, that belief was shattered
by the action taken today. A committee
consisting of Messrs. Teller, Hoar, Mitchell,
Chandler and Higgins, all Republican
members of the committee on privileges and
elections, was appointed to take special
charge of the subject of organizing and,
incidentally thereto, the matter of election
of senators in western states where the
fight is now on.

Gleason intended TO assume duties for the
