Somewhat Eaekneyed, but Will Fear Re-
 beating to Young Men.
 There is a great deal of sound sense and philosophy ill Bishop Doane's clos ing words to the graduates of Union col lege. gro make the most of ones self, and not to be some one else, said the eloquent prelate, should be the desire of every man, and to be excellent in anything, to plant garden we'll, to breed good horses or to manufacture honest fabrics is to fill out one's place in life as really and valuably as to be poet, lawyer, doctor, statesman, editor or priest. This is a graceful elabora- tion of the homely saying that good blacksmith is often spoiled to make poor minister.
 One of the chief causes of the many failures in life is young mons neglect of the most important of all studies namely, themselves, their aptitudes, their limitations and their opportuni- ties. There is no lack of talent in this world, but the difficulty Is it is ire quently misapplied aid misdirected. A SOttuS ldu COuC01NGS to1 dtluDlbi0H tO shine at the bar or in politics, and with out asking whether he is fitted for the role, misled by the old half true and half false adage that labor conquers all things, he deyotes his energies i'll that direction, only to find when it is too late that he has wasted his best years. One of the highest services that can be performed for young men is to teach them that all legitimate labor is honor able and to impress upon them the vital importance of the axiom, Know thy self '-New York Advertiser.

A CHAT WITH CHANDLER.
His Views of Public Men and Presidential
 Candidates.


 IT have reached the age when many of my opinions of men are qualified by comparison and reflection. Although I fought Grant and the third term, I rec ognize many noble elements ill his char acter. Knowing Grant, Sherman and Sheridan and seeing some defects in each of them, l place Grant higher than the other two. General sherman-per- haps may say the Shermans-were not exact. Sherman was wrong i'll his Joe Johnston treaty and never forgaye Stan ton for compelling him to be right Poor Stanton He had both Grants and Sherman popularity to contend with, but he always was heroic. Grant s treaty with Lee put it out of the govern ment's power to prosecute anybody for treason. Lincoln felt that, and when Sherman also undertook to settle the civil status by Q treaty Stanton acted as Lincoln's agent. I have read the entire history of Lincoln by John Hay, whose summer place is few miles above here, and I read it competitively with Gree ley, Sherman, Sheridan, Mcclellan, etc. ,, before me, and cannot criticise one chapter i'll it. Remarkable, it seems to me, that two young men whom Lincoln fetched to Washington with him should live with him all his official life, sur viEe him 25 years and absolutely com plete their work i'll that interval
 The candidates named are all accept able. Perhaps Mckinley has less of the stiffness which gives a strong party ad- m1nistration than the others. Allison would make winning candidate and a delightful and also sturdy president. There is nothing factional about him. We printed in our newspaper at Con cord with editorial indorsement, an ar ticle from another paper by young ed itor in New Hampshire, who was enthu- sfastic for Reed, and I still think that MT. Reed promises to give the best par ty results of any of the candidates nam ed. He is the only positive personality among them, the man who requires no urging to advance and take bold posi- tion, to hold it and to advance again. While New England is probably for him, l recognize that he is good way from the vest where the silver question is prominent.
 7 Robert Lincoln is negative man. That is why he is spoken of rather than speaking. But he is wise man, a man of his fathers humor as we'll as wis dom, a man of delightful quality and safety; also man of tact. He was amia- ble and efficient in three cabinets and now is aman of great experience. may add that he is an able lawyer Inter view With Gath For New York Journal.

SURPRISING GROWTH.
The Census Shows Remarkable Drii
 Cityward.

The Census Shows & Remarkable Drift
 Gityward.
 The city and state censuses of popu- lation and the enumeration of voters now being taken in some neighborhoods show that the surprising growth of cit ies made evident by the national census of 1890 is still in progress.
 Newark, N. J., by a census just fin ished, shows a population of 215, 5,672, with 45, 453 families and 27, 373 homes. As the population in 1890 was 181, $50 there has been an increase of nearly 34, ,000 inhabitants Cleveland, accord ing to an enumeration of voters, has now population of 407, 265, an increase of 145, ,000 since 1890 Buffalo is also claiming an increase of 90,000 in five years, which would bring it's present population up to $50, 0,000 The claims of Chicago, which appear to be justified by the vote of the city, place its population at 1,695, 900, which is an increase of 600, ,000 over the population in that city in 1890. Doubtless if censuses were taken i'll other cities most of them would show a large growth in the five years passed since the national census was taken.
 There is doubtless some natural ex- aggeration in these claims, but there is enough in them to prove that the drift cityward made evident by the census of 1890 is still in operation. It was then shown that 29 12 in each 100 of popu- lation i'll this country lived in cities. This was an increase of 6. 5 over the census of 1880 The total number of people found living in cities five years ago was 8,235, ,672. But if the censuses of cities now being taken are an indica- tion much over one-third of the people will be found residing in municipalities in 1900. The depressed times of 1893, which, it was hoped, would turn the attention of people countryward, do not seem to have affected the situation at all. ll.-Philadelphia Press.

GREAT COLLEGE YEAR.
Thousands of Young Men Called to Enter Active Life

Harvard graduated CTS young men this year. Yale gave diplomas to 575 seniors. tlom tie colleges generally throughout the country the reports show that large graduating classes are the rule of the season.
 The expense of going to college in this country is not so high, even at the lead ing colleges, as to make a liberal edu- cation the exclusive privilege of rich mems sons, as it is ill European coun- tries and to very marked degree in England. It is true that the Harvard or Yale student with wealthy and indul- gent papa i'll the background can easily spend from $3, 900 to $5, 900 a year for Incidental expenses, and that many of such spoiled children of fortune have done so. The fact remains that the young man who must pay his own bills, with such assistance as parents of slen- der means can give him, can take four years term at Harvard or Yale at an expense not exceeding &600 a year.
 A leading professor at Harvard has been quoted as saying that every dollar over $1 ,000 per year spent by a Harvard student is a dollar of folly or of danger. As matter of fact, many students with seant resources have managed to pull through a course at Cambridge or New Haven on $400 a year, and in- stances are not rare in which they have entered upon their course with barely enough money to pay their entrance fees and have eontrived to earn enough be- tween times to carry themselves through on that arduous and self denying basis. The state universities are doing a noble work ill keeping the fountains of higher education ill this country free from the corrupting domination of wealth. They are generally we'll endowed, especially so ln the western states, and they fur nish the very highest standards of edu- cation for a next to nominal cost. The University of Vermont, for instance, makes 1t possible for @ student to re- ceiye all its advantages including good board and quarters, at a yearly cost not exceeding $500 per year
 The annually increasing roll of col lege graduates is the grand guarantee that the door of opportunity is being kept wide open for American youth, whether they be of rich or poor parent age There is no position in this coun- try to which a man may not rise on his own merits, plus 6 liberal education. Hence the thousands of graduates who are now being sent out from American colleges are the proofs and the pledges that our civilization is still soundly democratic in the vital matter of offer ing an approximate equality of adYan- tages and opportunities to its citizens New York Recorder.

A Lightning Freak.

Miss Fannie Moxie, living about five miles north of South Maid, Tex, while sitting at an organ during thunder storm, was struck by lightning and fell to the floor apparently lifeless. A Miss Guile was standing by her side with her hand on Miss Moxie s shoulder, but felt not the slightest shock. The bolt came through the ceiling, making hole there in about the size of 38 caliber pistol ball, struck Miss Moxie on the left side of the face, ran down and across the breast to the other side of the body, burning path in both body and cloth ing until the current reached the stock ing, ripped that open, tore the shoe from the foot, driving some of the nails out of the heel, thence through the treadle of the instrument and the floor, killing a chicken under the house.
 There was no evidence of the current touching the roof or any part of the house, except the ceiling and the floor. Miss Moxie was carried out of doors in to the rain and soon regained conscious ness. St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Diphtherfa Antitoxine.

Dr. Allen M. Thomas, attending phy. sician of the Nursery and Child's hospi- tai of this city, has published an inter esting report as to the effect of injec. tions of diphtheria antitoxine designed to immunize children who had been ex- posed to infection in that institution. tThe conclusions, says Dr. Thomas, (which seem not only justifable but fairly inevitable to be drawn from this report are as follows: 1. The evident value of antitoxine in affording a cer- tain period of immrhity against the in- lection of diphtheria. 9 The apparent harmlessness of its use in this way with children, even of tender age and condi- tion. :" The record is valuable contribu- tion to the accumulated evidence con corning the prophylactic valne and effect of injections of the antidiphtheritic se- rum.-New York Times
