Elisha was everywhere, and he had never

appeared to be enjoying everything like a

as a rather quiet reserved and stern man
were astonished at his manner.
At length the time for the display of
fireworks arrived, and the visitors assem-.

could sit on a grassy slope and enjoy the
spectacle The boys had carried the box OF
fireworks down near the hoodoo we'll,

The first rocket sailed into the air with
a graceful curve, a cheer breaking from

sent forth many colored balls that floated
lightly away and finally faded. Their

A COOL DECLARATION.

While the Government is to be COM
mended for the promptness with which it
put a stop to a flibustering expedition
which was fitting out in New Jersey to
aid the Cuban rebellion, there is evidently
more work of a slightly different kind to
be done. The dispatches speaks of Cubans
in the Eastern cities who declare openly
that many other such expeditions are out
fitting, that others have got safely away,
and that generous sums of money are being
raised in the United States for the use of
the rebels.
The function of the press was properly
discharged with the securing and publ
cation of this news. 1t is now the duty Of
the Government to prosecute the search for
the foundations upon which it rests and
punish the movers. The officers of this
country are generally addicted to the mag
nifcent habit of ignoring discoveries Of
criminal practices by the press, apparently
taking such newspaper interference as a
gross impertinence and an intrusion upon
official rights, privileges and prerogatives.
Perhaps the administration at Washington
will be moved by such considerations in
this case, but if it should, and the remarks
of these Cuban patriots should turn out
not to be idle brag, then Spain at last may
find some reasonable excuse for demand
ing an accounting with US.

A STUDENTS ESSAY.

Very few people know that the abolition of
slavery in England was largely, if not wholly,
due to prize essay.
Cambridge selected as a subject of prize Latin
essay, els it right to make slaves of others
against their wili?" 1t is possible that he was
led to choose this. at that time, unusual sub
ject for the reason that in 1888 the Society of
Friends laid upon the table of the House of
Commons petition on the evils of the slave
trade. At any rate the subject was q new and
stimulating one to the young men who en-
gagged in the contest. Among these was
Thomas Clarkson. He had successfully COM

While he was collecting material for his
essay, he began to see the enormity of the
slave traffic, from which Englishmen were de-
irving revenues. Then was born the reformer
in him, and the thought of prize became q
consideration that he forgot. His heart was
Durdened with his message, and he achieved
the highest success. But the academic prize
was only precursor to q greater one.
On the way up from Cambridge to London
he thought: eff the contents Of this essay are
true, 1t is time that some person should see

one."
He translated his essay into English and
published 1t. The result was immediate. He
was soon the center of host of new friends.
