F. w NEWELL.

A good example of the active, indus
trious, self-made New England teacher
is Fred Webster Newell, principal OF
Thetford Academy. y
He was born at Durham, Me-, Nov.
22, 1865. Like SO many other of our
best teachers he was farm-bred boy,
and
Early learned the power to pay
His cheerful, self-reliant way.
Could doff with ease the scholars gown,
And peddle books from town to town.
And through the long vacation reach,
In lonely lowland district teach
AS selfreliance is and always has been
his motto, he is the right man in the
right place for the Thetford school.
With only his district school and two
terms Of private instruction in two years
at Freeport, Me-, high school, he fitted
for Bates College, Lewiston, Me.
Here his self-reliant industrious habits
counted. He graduated in the CLASH
cal course in June, 1850, with second
rank in class of twenty-five and with
first rank in natural science. During
his college course he was repeatedly
called to fill responsible positions as a
teacher during vacation, among others
that of teacher of Lincoln street even
ing school at Lewiston, principal of the
Grammar school at Oakland, and of
the academy at Monmouth.
On the grid of June, within one week
of his graduation, he was elected as
principal of the Boston Asylum and
Farm School.
This is charitable institution num-
bering nearly 100 students. He taught
there three terms and performed other
duties connected with the school,.
Leaving the school on Wednesday, the
succeeding Saturday he was elected
principal of the Highland Graded
School of Pittsfeld, N. H., where he
remained one year. For time he was
substitute for the teacher in the High
school at Needham, Mass and later
canvassed for the Century Company on
Hays "Life of Abraham Lincoln. :"
In June 1891 he was elected principal
of Thetford Academy for two years,
the present being his fourth year. Dur
ing his experience as a teacher he has
in part fitted students for Bates, Bou-
doin, Dartmouth, Wellesley and Bur-
lington.
Since his connection with the acad-
envy he has graduated thirty-one stu
dents from one or more of the four
departments of Business, English, Latin
and College Preparatory.
He has rearranged, augmented and
made available the geological speci.
mems. There is telegraph line on the
Hill that is owned and operated by the
students.
Several students who have attended
his business course have secured posi-
tons in the offices of the leading New
England railroads.
There has been instruction in French
nearly all of the time since Mr.. Newell
came here and part of the time in Ger
man. Also in vocal and instrumental
music. Mrs. S. G. Newell and Mrs.
Margaret Fletcher are assistants in the
school. Prof. d. Clinton Gardner of
Lebanon, N H., has given special in
'uuction in elocution, Miss Mary Gil

marily departed The request for medi-
alton of the United States is made by
Venezuela through its minister at Wash
tngton, Senior Andread. He was instruct
ed by the Venezuelan minister Of foreign
affairs a short time ago TO request that
the United States ambassador in Paris,
Mr.. Ellstis, be asked TO act as inter
mediary in restoring friendly relations
between the two countries. Should this
country undertake the reconciliation. 1t
will make two questions in which our
officials are intermediates with Euro
pean powers in behalf of Venezuela.
Ambassador Bayard is already engaged
in effecting a solution Of the British
Venezuelan question. The trouble be-
tween France and Venezuela originated
four months ago. A number Of Euro
peans residing In Caracas united In con-
fidential note to their respective govern
ments in which they told of the lax
conditions Of the government and the
tendency of the Venezuelan officials to
avoid a settlement Of just claims. The
note was signed by the ministers of
-NNSt SPAN DFiSluiil.
The italian minister did not sign It, but
sent 1t to his government for information.
By mischance the word Confidential"
was omitted from the note and Italy pub
lished it with the signatures Of the four
in the ItaiiaIi green book. Ven
ezuela was thus publicly pllloried. She |
at once gave their passports to the |
French, Spanish, and Belgian ministers,
but the German minister had left before
mis- indignity could be offered to him.
By this step Venezuela was almost cut
'ff from relations with the leading ma
ions. Great Britain Withdrew her min
ster some time ago because of the boun-
larry troubles. IT is with a view Of over
coming this action that Venezuela asks
he kindly offices of the United tSates.

IT'S GETTING SERIOUS.

The southwest can not waste much
sympathy on the poor, butchered Ar
menians, as long as they have the rene
gade Apaches on their hands. The time
has como for securing results. Apologies
for the failure of the cavalry to run down
and make an end of these blood. thirsty
savages will no longer suffice. For six
years the Apache Kid and his band have
been at large in Arizona. Gen. Wheaton
appears to be doing the best he can, and
we hope him success, but If another set
tier is killed we propose to insist that the
job Of hunting Apaches be let out as q
contract to Capt. Jack Crawford or some
other competent frontiersman, Uncle Sam
to foot the bills.

Democrats aud Populists alike, reveals a
decided disposition to couple silver legls-
lation with any measure for the relief Of
the treasury that may be offered. Cock

Baker and Butler all said that the secre-
tafy OF the treasury had the means for
meeting the emergency in his own hands,
which was in paying out silver and coin

Christmas Customs.

With the approach of Christmas a
glance at some of the customs connected
with the greatest of Christian holidays is
of more than ordinary interest.
As the birth of the Christ child is cele-
brated at about the same time as the old
Roman saturalia and the northern feast
of Yule, many of our most cherished Gus
toms have been borrowed from the
heather. When Pope Gregory sent St.
Austin to convert the AngloSaxons he
charged him to "allow the Christian con-
verts to eat a great number of oxen to
the glory of God as they had formerly
done to the honor of the DEVIL" and this
injunction was applied in the breadest
sense.
The lighting of the yule log is cere-
mony that until century ago was always
observed in Great Britain, and In a modi-
fled form it still exists in some parts of
Scotland and England. The bringing in
of the boar's head was also ceremony
once as important as the lighting of the
yule log. With the transition of the
heather festivities came the carol, which
was changed from heather epic or was
sail song to the hymn or chant of the
early church. Singing formed a principal
part of the Christmas festivities, and some
of the carols are most valuable relics of
the Anglo-Saxon literature of the past.
In the churches carol singing is to-day
revived in form so altered that it has
little or no resemblance to the quaint
songs about the Babe of Bethlehem.
One by one the old customs are disap-
pearing, and Christmas has lost its print
tive significance. 1t has become day
for the giving of presents, the eating of
big dinners, and the welcoming of home
coming loved ones. 1t ia time for gen.
eral rejoicing, but its religious aspect is
disappearing.
The true spirit of the day is exemplified
in the remembering of the poor, and each
year shows that the world is inclined to
emphasize the good will toward men idea.
