Told by a Forty miner.

Samuel Kingsbury of this city. who is
hale and active at the age of 80, is the
last survivor of a party of nine men
who went overland from this city to
California during the gold fever of
1849, says the correspondent of the Ban
gor Daily News. The trip was one fl
led with vivid experiences and trials
which would hardly be undertaken in
the present day. After reaching INDIE
pendent, Kansas, they made the trip in
party of $50 passengers and 40 wagons
50 teamsters and plainsmen. The trip
proved a dangerous one, for Asiatic
cholera broke out en- route and OF the
number 26 died, mostly plainsmen The
companions of Mr.. Kingsbury were
Cyrus Rowe, Hiram Pierce, Charles
Treadwell, Edward Heath, William
Heath, A. Campbell, James Patterson
and Americas Parker, all from this inn
mediate vicinity. They started from
this section on the 18th day of April,
lS49, and arrived at Weber creek,
which was so miles from Sacramento.
in the latter part of October, after
a trip which was filled with the
greatest dangers from lurking Indians
and other deadly foes upon the plains.
One Of the party, Cyrus Rowe, was
t1hCu III Will Iuc CllOlcld huO Was very
sick and was not expected to recover.
Thinking that he must die, the greater
number of the party pushed on and left
him with few of his friends, Mr..
Kingsbury among the number. Death
seemed near, and the friends proceeded
at once to dig the grave for their COM
rade, that he might have good burial.
The grave had been dug and the party
waited near at hand for their sick COM
rade to breathe his last. Alarmed at
being left SO far in the rear of the emf
grant train they decided to push on,
and with their sick comrade they urged
their mules onward lashing them into a
run, and reached their party just at
camping time. Great indeed was the
surprise when the sick man was found
to be still alive and much improved by
the trip, while he continued to gain,
and before they had arrived at their
journeys end he was completely re-
covered.

The Useless College Graduate.

1t is frequently forced upon public
notice that many college graduates
cannot till the elementary requirements
for admission to business house. They
cannot spell correctly, nor add accu-
rately, nor write legibly. Something is
wrong with system of education which
graduates a young man at the age of
twenty two in a state Of practical help
lessness. The blame does not lie alto
gether with the college, but some OF it
certainly does.
There is, first, in many college facul-
ties an excessive fear of the words utili-
tartan and commercial The traditional
high ideal of college life should not be
suffered to perish, but it is now in dan
ger OF degererating into vague, i'm
practicable ideal having no connection
with real social service and usefulness
Breadth OF view mast not be exalted at
the expense of accuracy.
| In the second place, while the stan
| dard for getting into college has been
| raised, the standard for staying in has,
if anything, been lowered. The student
! is passed. if he makes sixty per cent.
on the final examination. In the world
he is t1unked if he does not make 100
per cent. every day.
Finally-and here the public is at
fault-there is tendency to-day to es-
innate the Importance of good educa-
tional instruction as we do that of an
industrial enterprise, namely, by the
value of it's plant During the last ten
years American universities and col
leges have had more money to spend
than the famous universities of Ger
many handled in the whole of the nine
teenth century. The Germans with
their pfennings bought the realities of
education, whereas we have lavished
our dollars on appearances, on marble
columns, dainty dormitories and stained
glass. AS result some of the college
students are becoming early and un-
conscious victims of luxury, convinced
that the fraternity is OF more coEse-
| quence than the curriculum.
In Oberlin the other day saw some
thing THAT should help us to preserve
our optimism. 1t was a small rough
patch on the floor OF the old chapel
| hall, the work of an amateur carpenter
among the students, and conspicuous
as only patch can be. One of ODER
Inns needs is new chapel, but if a
new chapel or new floor means that a
good professor must be sacrificed, let
the old chapel and its patched floor
| stand.-J. Frank johnson in the Book

Maine Teachers Asso citation.

The twenty third annual meeting of
the Maine Teachers Association, to be
held in Watervllle on Tuesday and We'd
nesday; December 80 and 81, promises
to be of unusual excellence. The pro-
gram soon to be announced in full will
contain addresses by prominent educa-
tors from various states. Among these
are Prof. John NJ Tyler of Amherst
College, who will speak on Wednesday
evening on the question, GLOW Can We
Adapt Our System of Education to
Present Needs Prof. Tyler has for
many years been prominent lecturer
on social and educational topics. His
course Of lectures last winter before
the Twentieth Century Club in Boston
was notable success, Frank A. Hill,
Secretary of the Massachusetts State
Board of Education, will deliver an ad-
dress on Tuesday evening on "Seven
Lamps for the Teachers Way" Sec
rotary Hill was formerly Maine man
who, like so many others, has attained
eminence as an educator in another
state. Anna J. McKeag, Pc. D., Pro-
fessor of Pedagogy at Wellesley Col
lege, will speak Wednesday afternoon
on ''The Value of Pedagogical Train
ing" Other speakers will be A. j.
Demarest, Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Hoboken, n. j., Supt.
G. A. Stuart of New Britain, Conn. and
Principal Philip Emerson of the Cob
bett School, Lynn, Mass. The program
will include numerous speakers from
Maine among whom are President
White of Colby, President Fellows of
the University of Maine, and State Sup
erintendent W. w. Stetson. Interest
ing programs of one half day each will
be presented for the five separate de-
partments.
A feature which should add to the
success OF the meetings is the combina-
ton of the Schoolmasters' Club and the
Association of Superintendent with
the general State Teachers Association.
The Schoolmasters' Club will hold it's
annual dinner at the Elmwood Hotel on
Wednesday evening. 1t is expected
that Prof. Tyler will be the guest of the
Club. The Association of Superintend-
ents will hold its annual meeting in
connection with the department of su-
perintendence ON Wednesday forenoon.
The usual reduced rates are granted
by all the railroads of the state. Water
vile with its central location is easy of
access, and, with its new city hall, will
afford excellent facilities for the meet
lngs OF the Association. A large gath
ering of teachers is expected from every

In the December Atlantic the present
question of the attitude of the Chinese
toward the Occident is pleasantly and
mstructively discussed by Francis H.
Nichols, the author of Through Hid
den Shensi," who recently had the ad-
vantage of making an extended tour
through China in the disbursement of
the famine fund. MI. Nichols has been
exceedingly successful in realizing and
communicating the Chinese point of
view. He contrives to make his readers
feel the force of the truism, too often
diSregarded, that though the Chinaman
is yellow and ''heathen," he is, never
theless. man, and worthy of fair play
The conclusion of Frank Stockton's
last book, 'John Gayther's Garden"
which is soon to be published, is thought
to bear almost prophetic message in
view of the fact that the author died
before it appeared in print. 1t is as
follows: "The stories are all told The
winter has come. The orchard is strip
ped OF its leaves, and, scar and brown,
they cover the garden paths aud are
streWn over the box borders. The fruits
are all gathered. The bare vines that
cover the summer-house are like dead
memories of what has BEEN The vege-
table beds are empty. The black frost
has settled upon bloom and foliage on
the upper terrace The sweet, blithe
song of the red thrush has ceased The
And John Gayther walks alone in his
garden"
The Christmas Outing is full of color
and is of absorbing interest for all out
of-door people Henry McCarter has
supplied powerful drawings in his in
imitable style, while E. w. Kemble,
Frederic Door Steele, Martin Justice
Chas. Livingston Bull, Philip r. Good
win, and others have co-operated to
make this number of Outing the most
artistic of the season. Much of the
illustrating is done in four colors. The
recrudescence of Saratoga as sporting
centre has been the cause of much dis
cussion during the past year. Jesse
Lynch Williams, one of the best of
trained observers and writer's, describes
the situation there in an article of COM
pelllng interest. How two men strug-
gle with hunger and cold in Alaska's
interior to prove that the Far North
has living volcano, and incidentally
found that supposed great mountain
did not exist, is thrillmgly told. Ad-
venture of absorbing interest is the
motif of a second installment of Cap
tain Joshua Slocum's ''The Voyage of
the Aquidneck." There are other bits
of adventure, wild life, the fiction of
more than passing value, and many in
structive technical articles.
