Spain's Ugly flood.

The campaign has been so engrossng
that questions of foreign policy and mat
tiers of Old World news have been for a
few weeks almost ignored by the Ameri-
can press. But for the warmth of home
politics such discussion would have
resulted from the report that Spain is
deliberately and carefully preparing to
make an appeal to all the governments
of Europe for moral support as against
the United States in the controversy con-
corning Cuba. The Spanish soldiers
have had a frightful summer in the dis
tressed island, owing to the excessive
heat and the ravages Of disease. Little
news of fighting has been received, and
there is no reason to think that Spain is
making any Roadway toward the sup
preston of the rebellion. The Spanish
government is making the most strenu-
Gus efforts to increase the strength of the
Spanish navy with reference to posi-
BILE conflict with the United States. Our
presidential election may be followed by
the outbreak OF very serious troubles
between our government and that of the
stubborn and bitter Spaniards. The
prospect is serious.- From "The Prog
ress Of the World, in September Review

Teaching Old Folks.

Zone never knows how ignorant and

matron not long ago, until she begins
to train her first child"
She might have added, had she thought
little longer, that no human being ever
does as much for others in an educational
way as the first baby. His little hands
guide his mother and father in way OF
which they neither know nor dream.
Often their first real lesson in RESPONSE

The Transformation effected by the
dimpled darling in the crib is akin to the
miraculous. This young mother, so

to lose rest and sleep in his behalf, was
you would have said year ago, giddy
Hitting thing, a mere butterfly whirline
here and there, caring tor fun and
pleasure, for pretty gowns, for the last
waltz, for her cat and dog, for anything

Oxford Revisited.

letter from President NJ. H. BUcKHAM in
the Burlington Free Press.]
did not intend when left home
to visit Oxford, partly because | had
in mind fresh fields and pastures
new" and partly because feared
disillusionment. But the old fascina-
ton was too strong for me, and here
| am for the fourth time. Well, has
anything Of the old glamor gone? In
some respects, yes. The last time
was here, Oxford was doubly bril-
liant by the presence not only OF its
sons but of distinguished men OF
science from all over the world in
attendance upon the meeting of the
British association. The streets
were gay with equipages. There
were functions, intellectual and
social, all through the day and half
the night, at which Swans and peers
and danes of high degree assisted.
Now Oxford is a desert. Everybody
has "gone down." This by the way
is the university phrase for leaving
Oxford. You see posted on the doors
of the colleges that the dean, or the
master, or Mr.. so and so, has gone
down" and will not "be up" until
October. To be dismissed is to be
sent down." All Oxford has gone
down." and your humble servant
seems to have the city and all the
colleges to himself, and he finds it
rather lonesome.
Then again the restorer has been
here in my absence, and has spoiled
well, no, not even he could al
together spoil, but he has done what
he could in his way to spoil-the
most beautiful thing in Oxford, the
spire of St. Mary's. The beautiful
crocketed pinnacles which surround
it at different heights were crumbling
somewhat and doubtless needed
some care, but that was no reason
for demolishing them and putting in
their place new ones, which, to one
who remembers how airy and grace.
full were the old, seem decidedly
clumsy and stumpy, and make the
whole spire much less thing Of
beauty than it was.
There are other disappointment
of the same sort elsewhere, though
none so serious as this. If the Eng
lish ever had the true architectural
sense and this is doubtful, for the
best old work was done under
French inhuence-they have lost it
Everything now in the way of archl'
lecture is ugly, and the new archltec
ture of Oxford is no exception. Fur
thermore a hot and dry summer has
marched the lawns and gardens o.
, the colleges. But after all aoate

John Browns Burial Place.

1t was due, doubtless, to the absorb
ing interest of the political situation
that so little attention was drawn in
July to an occasion in the heart Of the
Adirondacks which in ordinary times
must have been widely reported and
commented upon. This occasion was
the formal acceptance by the state of
New York of John Downs farm and
home. The place is to be preserved as
landmark of history and as shrine for
pilgrims who would do honor to the
memory of a man whose heroism and
lofty dignity ofcharacter all men seem at
length TO perceive, while also agreeing
that he was fanatic and revolutionist.
1t has not been remembered by any large
proportion of the people who sometimes
sing "John Browns body lies a-moulding
in the grave" just where that grave is
situated. Probably not one in hundred
has known that John Brown is buried
near by large boulder few yards from
the door of the farm house built by him in
the hdirondacks, on the precise spot des-
ignated by him as the place where he
would wish to be laid at rest in case of
death in his Kansas adventures or else
where away from home. Before going
the last time to Kansas he had carved
the initials 81. B." with chisel on the
side of the rock and it is there that he
was afterwards entered with the foot of
the grave under those letters, which are
still clearly seen. The quaint headstone
formerly did service at the grave of John
Browns grandfather in Connecticut, and
it was brought many years ago from
Torrington to the Adirondack grave of
the grandson of Captain John Brown of
the Revolution.-[ From John Brown in
the Adirondacks," by Albert Shaw, in
September Review Of Reviews.
