ISOLATION in every hour of trial, bespoke

The Presidents Message.

EUlCuSO CNFUTICIt.
The presidents message is not only a
strong appeal to American pride and
patriotism in the matter now at issue;
it is a clean cut and vehement ennuncia-
ton of he Monroe doctrine, which in
his hands is vitalized as never before
since it's first PRONUNCIATION. The Ian
guage used, the concrete Illustration
cited. the courageous recommendations,
the foreshadowing Of the possible conse-
quences-all give character and sub
stance to a doctrine which heretofore
has existed largely in the realm Of
theoIgS and abstraction.

Disiuterested.

1t Is said that the extraordinary influ.
ence which Agassiz exerted over men who
had only slight perception of the scope
OF his wonderful mental powers was due
as much to a universal belief in his disin-
terestedness as to his magnetic personality.
MI Il. p Whipple once told an incident
which illustrated this fact.
On one occasion, when his museum was
IN need of money for q purely scientific
purpose, he invited the members of the
legislature Of the state of Massachusetts
to visit it, with the design of inducing
them to vote the sum he required. After
short, persuasive address delivered in the
hall Of the museum, he led them over the
building pointing out the great things
that had been achieved and the still great
er things that were TO follow If his pian
was carried out
In ascending the stairs I happened to
overhoar two intelligent Legislators, evil
IDENTITY farmers, who We're considering the
propriety of giving the proposed legislative
aid
Il don't know much, . said one. "about
the value of this museum as a means Of
education, but of one thing I am certain
that if we give Agassiz the money ho
wants, he will not make dollar BY it,
that ; in his favor.
The appropriation was made day or
TWO after, though it was generally consid-
cred that no other man could have wrung
the sum from the reluctant hands of that
economical legislature.
