 It was in 1880 that the opening of the railroad between Liverpool and Man chester was celebrated. The duke of Wellington's ideas concerning the iron road of seventy odd years ago are thus described by Chaplain Gleig: The duke of Wellington was invited in his ca pacity of prime minister to take part in the opening journey. It chanced that he was at Walmer and surrounded by a large company of guests when the invitation reached him. and not a few, especially his lady friends, were urging him to decline. No great or permanent good could come of the invention. be- cause stage coaches already travelled at the rate of eight or. ten miles an hour. and if any attempt were made to exceed that pace the respiration of the passengers would become painful, perhaps impossible. The duke would listen to no remonstrances. He thought as others did that the experiment was risky, and deriding the idea of aeceel- erating the pace. as was promised. to twenty miles an hour. Even twelve mile pace he regarded as excessive, be- cause difficult, if not impossible to con- trol, and agreed in the opinion that the iron way would never, for general trai-
 fic supersede the macadamized roads, then brought to perfection.

Tn connection with the conclusion of Admiral Deweys fiftieth year of ser- vice in the navy it is recalled that it was not his desire that he should go to Annapolis. One day he noticed in the county paper when he was lad in Vermont paragraph announcing that there was a vacancy in the academy for the congressional district in which the Deweys lived. The lad went to his father, and, thinking most unselfishly of his brother, said: Father, here is a nlace for Charles Why not send him to the naval academy?" The father replied: 'No, it is not the place for Charles, but for you George" And in q fortnight letters had been exchanged

Boston is as proud as usual, thank you. Thus saith the Boston Herald: A census of the number of students who have arrived or who are about arriving in Boston from all sections of the country to avail themselves of our unrivalled facilities for instruction in the various lines of study would be something interesting. We have heard the number put at 10000 and we reckon that is an underestimate, considering the fact that more people come to Bos- ton to study music alone than are drawn to any other single city in the country. The evidences of this great influx of young, ambitious and intelli- gent people are apparent on every hand.

the sun came up it cheered him a lit
tie, and, gradually, as hope came back,
he summoned courage to look into
the yawning abyss beneath him. Ner-
wing himself for the supreme test he
glanced downward. and found that his

bottom of the hole. The p~rospectors
