HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.
The English Are Opposed to the
TenchinG of SerNnnts.

reaching OF servants.
An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country,
says j. y. Larnew, in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious of three
serious facts: (D That there is a
strong class-feeling against much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and servants-a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. GU That the school
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools, fos-
tered by the church and ostensibly
actuated by desire for religious in
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in reality by the two sentiments
indicated above. = Looking, there
fore, TO the increasingly democratic
conditions that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness of
disposition that appear among its citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popu-
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen its chances
OF holding, under the reign of democ-
racy, the high place to which 1t rose
under the aristocratic regime.

manufactured tobacco and the amount

All this means more work for those en-

demand and better prices for farm

LOOK OUT FOR A STRAY MOON.
Round Black body 100000 Miles Away
wanted by an Astronomer.


Wanted by an Astronomers.
American astronomers are requested
to keep their eyes open for a stray
moon, which DR.. Waltemath, of Ham,
burg, is anxious to find again. His OBJ
ject, says the New York Sun, is to ac-
count for and control certain irregular
tiles in coming TO time on the part of
the old moon that we are accustomed to
see. He knows exactly what sort of a
moon he wants and where it ought to
be. Its apparent diameter is 140 Sec
onds, but its real diameter is 400 miles,
its surface about one-twenty-fifth and
its bulk one-eightieth that of the visi-
-hle panan- and it is 61h.GQ0 miles distant
from the earth, and two and two-thirds
times as far as our moon.
This little moon has been seen num-
Der of times in the last 800 years. Dur
ing the seventeenth century it APP
peared as a fiery red ball with white
streak across il. Later observers de-
scribe it as of the dark gray color of the
spots on the moon, and as a round,
black body so that it had probably
cooled off in the interval. Cassini, the
father, saw it at Montpelier November
7, 100. and seven other appearances are
noted in that century. DR.. Ritter. a
Hanover school-teacher, saw it with the
naked eye in broad daylight in the
neighborhood of Naples June II, 1855.
1t crossed the sun from right to left.
Mr.. Convey saw it at North Lewisburg,
o., September 4, 1879. None of the OBJ
servers had any idea OF its true nature,
however, till DR.. Waltemath made his
discovery.
February 3 of this year the little
moon passed over the sun, and it will
do it again July 80. It's mean synodic
course is 1T days, and it's daily mo-
ton a little over three degrees. Any
one noticing its wanderings will please
inform Dr. George Waltemath at Ham
burg-on-th e-Elbe.

1t will be seen that the house, with
only nineteen members dissenting, have
given the president authority and direc-

the exception of directing him to inter

there appears TO be no necessity OF
deferring senatorial acquiescence. Spain
must not bank upon the likelihood Of
further delay, The hour for decision is
at hand and she must choose between
instant peaceful compliance or en-
forced submission TO the inevitable. The
notice for her to quit the island of Cuba
has been made out by the president and
it has the signature of the house. Be-
fore this issue reaches our readers the
senate may have signed the same. If
the senate does concur III this action,
which there is no doubt Of, there will
be but one more chance for Spain to
speak and that will be when the ques-

A Word for the | Library.

EDITOR REG1sTER.-Wi you kind
ly allow us space in your paper for q
few remarks in behalf of the lola Lii
brary Association? We deem it but
just to the many new people who
have come to lola to make homes
that they should know something, at
least, in regard to the opportunities
they may bave, for obtaining tor
themselves and families, the best of
reading possible. We would say
this, that we have in our Library
nearly seventeen hundred volumes
by the best authors, consisting of the
standard works IN poetry, history,
biography, books Of travel and fict-
ion. 1t Is our aim to get the best In
it's order, the market affords. We
have no way of raising money for our
Book fund except by giving enter
tainments. Every cent so raised {,
goes into that fund for the purchase
of new books, and when we realise
the constant demand for something
new, the raising of money for the pur-
pose indicated becomes indeed a
Herculean tack. We have also to
cater to the taste Of the public in the
getting up Of our entertainments.
The money taken in from readings
goes into a contingent fund, and IL
used for keeping the library open and
other Incidental expenses. We are
yet unable financially to keep the
room open but once "a week, which is
saturday afternoon from two until
eight O'Clock, but we earnestly hope
for better things for the Library, and
may the time come speedily, when
we can keep open house every day.
We are very desirous that the people
purchase shares and become members
of the Association. The terms are
one dollar per share, which entities
the holder to voice lin the business
transactions. To those who do not
care however to become members we
would say, yoH can get your reading
at the extremely low price of twenty
five cents for three months. Any
way, you are cordially invited to come
up and see us at the Library room
over Northrup's bank every Saturday
afternoon and evening.
