UNCOMMON PBOCEEDINGS.
The Young- School - Teacher and
Her Eccentric Patron.
"How cold it is growing," said Miss
Wait, the teacher of the common school
in the then brisk little manufacturing
village of Shattuckville, Franklin
County, Mass., as she tied on her soft
blue hood, buttoned her warm flannel
cloak, looked at the window-fastenings
of the not over commodious or attract
ive but snug school-room, locked her
desk and carefully shut the damper of
the air-tight wood stove, preparatory to
quitting her domain of labor for the
sight.
As she picked up her rublter over
shoes and stooped to draw them over
her shapely kid boot, she cogitated:
"Oh, dear! Tommy Howe's red toes
sticking so pathetically through those
old gaping shoes fairly haunt me. I
wonder if, in all this properous, busy
village, there is no way of getting that
poor child decently clad. I must think
it over and see what I can do about it."
Twenty-four hours later the leading
man of the village, and the owner of the
little factory there, who, years before,
when a poor boy, had stranded down
from Vermont to this little hamlet, ec
centric and brusque, but kind-hearted,
keen-eyed, and observant of all thatwas
going on his domain, was walking
along the street and met a bright-eyed
and sprightly lad of ten speeding ahead
with that amusing, unconscious, conse
quential air that a boy carries with his
first bran new pair of boots.
"Old Sam" Whittier, as this gentle
man was familiarly called, not by reason
of advanced age by any means, but be
cause of his supremacy as the mill
owner and employer of all the help in
the hamlet, took in the situation at a
glance, and called out to the absorbed
child:
"Hullo, youngster! where d'ye get
them fellers?"
"Teacher gave them to me. sir," and
the lad's tattered cap came quickly off,
and-he stood with it in his hand.
"Does she buy boots for all the boys
in the school?" "was growled out.
"Guess not; but she bought Joe Briggs
a speller and Jane Cass an arithmetic,
and sho gives away stacks of slate-pencils
and paper and ink and such
things."
"What made her go and buy them
nice boots for you?"
"She said she wanted to, sir; and
when I said I had no money to pay her
for them, she said she'd rather be paid
in perfect lessons; and I will try my best
to pay for them in that way, you may be
sure, sir'
"Pretty good sort of a teacher, is she,
bub?" '
"Oh, yes indeed! I guess she must
be the best teacher that ever lived, sir
he tells us about so many things that
we never knew before; and she wants us
to be good and honest and not tell lies,
and she says we will be meu and women
by-aud-by,'and she wants us boys to
know something so we can own factories
our own selves sometime. The other
teachers we've had only heard onr les
sons and let us go, but 'she's so differ
ent!" "Well, well, bub. I shall have to
think this business over a little. Now
run along, and go to scratchin' over
them 'perfect lessons.' I don't suppose
you'll find a person in Shattuckville a
better judge of perfect lessons, or how
much the are worth, Irolh to the teach
er and to "the scholar, than Old Sam'
Whittier. So bub, look after your ways,
and I shall look after you."
The next morning a little note writ
ten in a coarse business hand was dis
patched to the teacher by the hand of
one 'of the children. It ran as fol
lows: "Mies Wait: I hare heard of some ratnrr
uncommon proceeding's on your part as
a teacher toward your scholars. I would
like to Inquire of you personally as to partic
ulars. Will you do me the favor to run over
to my house directly after the close of your
school this afternoon?
'Samcel Whittier."
"What can I have done?" thought
the little teacher, in such a perturbed
state of mind that she corrected Johnny
Snow's mistake in his multiplication by
telling him that seven times nine are
fifty-four. Indeed, she let the mistake
go so long that every little hand belong
iBgto the second primary class was
stretched up in a frenzy of excitement.
"Let me see; what is it have done the
past week? 1 switched Bobbie Baker
pretty smartly, to be sure and I kept
Sam Woodruff after school and I kept
Marion Fisk in from recess for whisper
ing; but I must keep order. Well, dear
me, I have tried to do my duty, and I
won't worry;'" and Miss Wait resolutely
west back to "seven times nine," and
so proceeded in the usual routine.
But she ate no dinner that nco?, and
had a decided headache as she crossed
the big bridge over the hill to the mill
owner's residence.
"I shall not back down in anything
where my clear duty and self-respect
are involved," thought she. "I have
set up a certain ideal as to what a
teacher of these little common schools
ought to be, and I will, God and my
mind, good courage and health not for
saking me, bring myself as near to it
as possible Moreover, I will not con
sider in the premises whether the schol
ars are children of the rich and learned,
or of the poor or ignorant. For the
time being .God has placed in my care
ragged, dirty little wrcU'hes of a facto
tory village, as well as clean, well
dressed, attractive children."
"Good evening, good, evening,
la'am." said "Old Sam" Whittier, in
his graft way,meeting the teacherat.the
door. "As Isaid in my uote to you.I heard
.to-day of some rather uncommon pro
ceedings on you part. I saw, ma'am,
little iTonnuv Howe..in a new pair of
boots this morning. Do you know how
he caae by th'emr-"
"I bought them for him, Mr. Whit
tier," wondering whether the local
asagnate suspected the poor child of.
stealing.
'Oh, you did! Are you ia the habit
of farmsfciag your scholars with such
articles? Was Ihe providing of boots a
part of yoar business contract with the
MMitsee? If it was, I can pat yon
. J taw w7'f bojicj boots at waolasala
in Boston, where I get my 6upply fgr
the store."
"It will not be necessary, sir," re
plied the teacher, with dignity. "I
thank you for your kind offer, how
ever." "Why did you furnish boots in this
particular case, if I may inquire?"
The lad is very poor. His mother
has her hands full with the smallcrchil
dren. Tommy is learning rapidly; I seo
marks of rare intelligence in him. It
would be a pity-to have him taken out
of school at this time when he is so much
engaged. Should he continue coming
clad as he was in such weather as'this
he would be'ill soon. I could not take
the risk in either case."
"Are you able to let your heart get the
better of you in this way?"
"1 nave my wages only," replied tne
young woman, with dignity.
"Then you probably will have to re
trench not a little in your own ex
penses." "If I do it will harm no one's purse
or pride but my own. In this instance
it may be the matter of a pair of gloves
or an ostrich tip with me. With him
the little act may mak6 a difference that
shall be lasting 'through time and eter
nity." "You have been attending that school
over at South Hadley, I hear?"
"Yes, air."
"Have you been through it, or grad
uated, as they call it?"
Oh, no; I" have attended but two
terms. But I am fully determined to
complete the course."
"Hum all right. Miss Wait, you
seem to be doing some good work among
the children over the river there. I am
going to think it all over; but look here
if any more of those little rasenls need
boots, let me know. I shall consider it
a privilege to provide them. You know
I can obtain them at wholesale ha! ha!"
and the now greatly relieved teacher's
interview with the mill owner ended.
"If she goes on teaching on and off,
and then.taking a term on and off at
Mount Holyoke, she can't graduate for
vears," ruminated Old Sam Whittier. as
he watched her tripping on over the
hill; "it's ridiculous."
And so it caane to pas9, when Miss
Wait was paid her small salary at the
end of the term, she found in the envel
ope containing the order on the town
treasurer a check with a slip of paper
pinned to it, reading thus:
"This may be an uncommon proceeding-,
but I thought it over and have concluded
that you had better o right alonjr In youi
studies at South Hadley until you graduate.
After that, with jour pluck and princlplo.
you will be able to invest in boots or boots
or in any way you see fit.
"Very trulv Tours.
"Samuel Whittikk."
I leave this true little sketch without
comment, It carries its own lesson
both to struggling young teachers with
hearts and brains, and to .prosperous
men of affairs who may lend a helping
hand to deserving ones. Philadelphia

LAKE OF SALT.
Aa Interesting- Description of tne Mu
tbab Valloy The Salt Lakes of
Yar-Oilan.
At the meeting of the Royal 'Geo
graphical Society recently Sir Peter
Lumsden read a paper on the countries
and tribes he has recently visited west of
Afghanistan. He gave an interesting
description of the geography of the
Murghab Valley and the customs of its
people, and quoted a singular account
of the Naniaksnr, or salt lakes of Yar
oilan, visited and described as follows,
by Captain Yatc:
Yar-oilan means 'the sunken ground,"
and no word can better describe tne gen-'
eral appearance of the valley of these
lakes. The total length of the valley
from the Kangruali road on the west to
the Band-i-Dozan, which bounds it on
the east, is about thirty miles, and its
greatest breadth about eleven miles,
divided into two parts by a connecting
ridge which runs across" from north to
south, with an average hight of about
1,800 feet, but has a narrow, which rises
some 400 feet above the general average.
To the west of this ridge lies the lake
from which the Tekke Turcomans from
Merve get their salt. The valley of this
lake is some sit miles square, and is
surounded on all sides by a steep,
almost precipitous descent, im
passable for baggage animals,
so far as I am aware, except by the
Merve road in the northeast corner. The
level of the lake I made to be about
1,430 feet aboe the sea level, which
gives it a descent of some 400 feet from
the level of the connecting ridge and of
some 950 feet below the general plateau
above. The lake itself lies in the centre
of the basin above described, and the
supply of salt in it is apparently unlim
ited. The bed of the lake is one solid
mass of hard salt, perfectly level, and
covered by only an inch or two of water.
To ride over it was like riding over ice
or cement. The bottom was covered
with a slight sediment, but when that
was scraped away the pure white salt
shone out below. How deep this deposit
may be it is impossible to say, for no
oae.has yet got to the bottom of it. To
the east of the dividing ridge is the sec
ond lake, from which the Saryks of
Penjdeh take their salt. The Valley iu
which this lake is situated is much the
larger of the two. The valley proper is
itself some fifteen miles in length by
about ten miles in breadth. The de
scent to it is precipitous on the north
and west sides only the eastern and
southeastern end sloping gradually up
in a succession of undulations. "The
level of this lake is apparently lower
than that of the other; I made it out to
be some 800 feet above sea level. The
salt in this lake is not so smooth a in
the other, and did not look so pure.
It is dug out in flakes or strata, gener
ally of some four inches in thickness, is
loaded into bags, and carried off on
camels for sale without further prepara
tion. London Keivt.
Silks, Velvet and Plush.
Faille francaise and other soft repped
silks, such as Bengaline and Sicilienne,
will be used for autumn dresses, and in
combination with velvet and plush for
the winter. Veloutine is a name given
by the softest of these new repped silks
with a rich yet dull lustre like that on
velvet. Both plain and figured velvets
are shown for dresses, while very large
frise figures are seen on the cloaking
velvets. Black and seal brown are the
colors for velvet cloaks, with some of
the darkest plotnb or lead shades.
Smaller figures of frise or curled velvet
and the closer uncut velvet figures are
on grounds of faille francaise to be used
for dresses in combination with plain
velvet or plain faille. Contrasts of
colors a: c seen in these designs, such as
red on Chartreuse green, blue with
Havana brown, red with ecru, and drab
with blue. i7oi6-color is most suc
cessful in monotone, showing two or
three shades of one color, or else in
combination with black. Arabesques,
scrolls, and curved figures generally,
are on these corded silks and velvets.
Plush is also imported again in tartan
plaids, in etripes, dotted: with gilt or
lead as if beaded, and in the ribbed
cross lines called ploughed plush.

UNDERTAKERS.
Caa BbIbmi and Profrioil STarhaAsef
Those Who Bury Our Dead.
The business of the undertaker kaf
been very differently estimated in differ
ent countries and in different methods
f burial. Surclythc one who takes or
puts a human being under the ground
should be regarded as having an im
portant responsibility. Yet in the eyes
of some, the business has come to be
considered as one of greed and cold
blooded indifference as to either the
health or comfort of the living. Some
of this we confess has arisen from the
way in which undertakers manage their
affairs. There is too often a perfunctory
or professional method and an excess
of charge out of all proportion to the
services rendered. We greatly desire
to reinstate the undertaker, or" funeral
director, jis he is now styled, intoJiis
proper relationship, and then to recog
nize in him one who fills a most import
ant function in a time of affliction, and
who brings to the performance of his
duties a business fitness and skill which
entitles him alike to respect and com
pensation. If he is merely a man -who
brings no skill to his t ork, but only
buys and delivers a coffin, puts a body
in it, and regulates the decorum of at
tendance, and the livery provided for
procession to burial, then let him and
all others understand this, and let his
reward be only that which belongs to
such ordinary vocation. But if he will
come to know that he has other and far
greater duties, let him be fully prepared
therefor, and friends will not" begrudge
him the recognition and reward he has
wob. Our first historical idea is of an
embalmer. Called upon to attend 'to
the being from whom life has but a lit
tle time before departed, his first duty is
to secure for the body not only external
and decorous fitness for the sight of
friends, but such cleanly and sanitary
conditions as shall check decomposition,
or neutralize its effects, and so convey
the body to the grave. Hence, no one
can read the descriptions of preparation
for burial, as found both in the sacred
and profane writings, without recogniz
ing that the art of the embalmer was
akin to that of the apothecary, who pre
pared sweet ointments and spices, and
so anointed for the burial, and surround
ed the body with those essential oils
which we now know to be amongst the
best of disinfectants. Hence, we claim
that the undertaker of the present day
should not merely be a man who has
caught up some ideas about his calling,
but one who has been taught the art of
dealing with the bodies of "deceased per
sons in all phases and forms of disease,
and who knows what are the particular
methods adapted to particular diseases.
There'ls great variety of treatment de
pending upon the disease, upon the con
dition of the corpse, upon the season of
the year, and upon the mode and dis
tance of transportation. It is now
practicable, either by antiseptic and pre
servative infusions into the circulatory
system, or by external methods, to do
,very much to facilitate carriage and to
remove any posibility ot specific or gen
eral septic influence from the body of
the deceased. There has recently been
a convention of undertakers in New
York City, which seemed to be impres
sed with the importance of a kind of
trades union for mutual protection rath
er than with the need of a higher edu
cation and training in their art. With
one the grievance is that he Is bothered
ia getting a physician's certificate of
burial, and thinks that his precious
time should not be asked for that. With
another it is the system of the coffin
warehouses which do not alloV enough
commission on their wares. With a
third it is the small allovvauce granted
for public and pauper funerals. We
advise all the good fraternity to leave
the mint and anise .and cummin, and
look to the weightier matters of the
law. When death has occurred and the
undertaker is called, he should be able
to prescribe everything necessary for
the proper care of the deceased, and
also to himself direct and see carried jout
the complete cleansing of the room and
all that appertains thereto; nay, more;
in many cases, the care should extend to
the whole house. He should be able to
know much of its sanitary condition and
promptly to remedv any defects. The
time of death is always a dangerous one
to the condition of the house. Physi
cians and nurses often promptly leave.
The family in their grief, arc ill lifted to
deal with the disorder, which ofteu is
greatly increased in the List few hours.
Thorough work is far less likely to be
done by those who wait upon the house
hold than at other times. Every physi
cian knows how often the time between
the death and funeral is a time of accum
ulation of household evils, instead of
their relief. We have known a house
thus to become a menace to those in at
tendance, even when at the time of
death no serious evil existed. Since we
are having all these conventions and
associations and trades unions, would it
uot be well for the undertakers to have
a training school, and thus render them
selves so valuable to the communit as
to show the claims they have to be re
garded as practicing an art quite beyond
the ordinary routine of a good coffin,
orderly arrangements of flowers, a good
hearse and a respectable following of
livery. AT. 3". Indeptnda.t.

SWEDE TURNIPS.
How the Turnip Fly Can Be SubdurU
Plenty e" Seed and Manure.
It took me several years to get the
best of the turnip Ay. For year. they
destroyed the swedes, and at last I gave
it up. Last year, by accident, I found
that rauk-growing potato vines ncn:
growing distasteful to the potato beetles,
and that they did not disturb them, 'l'h'.s
discovery gave me a. hint about the tur
nip fly, and acting oa it. a large patoli
of land from which the clover had been
cut was plowed and covered wjth barn
yard manure. The manure was so scat
tered that every inch of the ground w.v
covered. Row's were then marked out
with a corn marker, three feet apart,
and the bottoms cleaned out with a gar
den rake, so that the seed drill could
work on and in the fresh earth. The
bottoms of these rows were the onlv
places where the earth could be seen
Although the weather was very dry, the
seed came up promptly, and such a
growth I never saw before. Either Un
files could not keep with the turnips.oi
they did tot like the odor and taste "of
the leaves, and did not disturb them.
In a couple of weeks the cultivator was
run between the rows and manure, and
where it was covered and lodged on
them, was brushed off. The cultivator
did all ot the work required, except the
thinning out. The liberal coat of man
ure kept the ground moist and served as
a mulch to keep the weeds from grow
ing. The yield was immense. I ucver
raised a crop of roots with so lit
tle labor, and there can be no doubt
that, with such culture, a crop of swedes
will always pay. When the rows were
thinned, the turnips taken out were
spread between them, and served as ad
ditional mulch. This crop of swedes
was not put in until the middle of July,
and still more than half of them were
about as large as a four-quart measure.
They were as solid as roots could be,
and I found them excellent food for the
hogs when sliced and fed raw. They
also helped to get the cows and young
animals through the winter. It is best
to put in plenty of seed, for it is easier
to pull out extra plants than to patio
new ones. I plant the common swede,
which is the old-time name for rutabagas.

SIX MILLIONS IN SMOK-.
Wo ratlins; Oft ia the Celebratlna of taa
Fourth.
Of late years the impression ha-; beea
gainingground that the old-time celebra
tion of the Fourth of July was falling into
disuetude, and that in the -not-distant
future the bon-fires, fire-works, and
other accessories of the day would be
given up. A visit to the various manu
facturers tends to dispel the delusion
that fireworks on the Fourth are going
out of date.
"The fireworks season," said a leading
dealer yesterday, "Iwgins early iu Feb
ruary, wheu the far west sends in its
orders. The factories are busy with these
until early in the spring, when theS ates
east of the Mississippi begin to stock
up. It is a curious fact that, although
the north, from Maine to California,
lays in a full stock to blow tip on the
Fourth, not a dollar is spent by the
people south of the Potora-ic and Ohio
Rivers. They use. them only on Christ
mas day. The demand for" all kinds of
goods fell off rapidly for two or three
years after the Centennial, but for the
past five years it has steadilv increased,
and this year I think will show a gener
al increase all over the country. I don't
believe there was ever before so many
firecrackers exploded as on Saturday.
From all the data obtainable I should
say that there were distributed over the
country over500,000 Iroxes, worth about
500.000. Then the big crackers, which
have risen rapidly to favor, have been
more extensively sold than at any other
time the patriotism of the young men
who are too old for the old-time fire
cracker expending itself in producing
the unearthly din these big crackers
make. Of course I judge at least i.r00.
000 more were blown into smoke and
fragments on the Fourth.
"The fireworks manufacturers do their
best to discourage the consumption pf
firecrackers, but the young people ap
pear to have renewed the loyalty to
these time-honored explosives, and our
opposition seems to hare made but little
headway. The fireworks now mostly
in demand are of a kind decidedly su
perior to those mostly in vogue in the
past, and the demand for them is not
by an' means contined to the big cities
but Oregon and Montana want just as
good tire goods as we can make. Of
these, rockets, Kouian candles and the
various colored fires seem to have struck
popular favor. There has Ween sold this
year, I think, fully 5C,000 000 worth of
these for consumption on the Fourth
alone, so that Saturday witnessed the
disappearance of fully $6.(100,000 in
smoke as an evidence of the patriotic
feelings of the country noith of the Ohio
River.
"This does uot include the new
fangled Japanese fireworks which are
now extensively used for daylight exhi
bitions. Every visitor of a country fair
now thinks the show lacking if the com
mittee does not set off between each
heat of Ihe races a lot of these Japanese
constructions. Their use, however, is
almost entirely contined to such oo
casions. But few are sold for the fourth,
as the celebrating patriot of to-day, like
his predecessors of old, want just as
much noise as possible by day and just
as handsome a show by night as money
will buy. A. 1. Times.
COLOMBIA.
Tha Llcennes Exhibited by the Mcantiou
l'rrss of the Country.
In Colombia the press enjoys a liberty
that is almost license even mothers of
families can be calumniated with impu
nity; but as an instrument of correction
and as a promoter of progress it has be
come within the last few years not only
impotent but- odiously opposed to those
noble aims. The serious, moderate.aud
truly, "leading" publications are few
anil are not supported. Those which
are most numerous are political sheets
of an ephemeral but mischievious exist
ence, mo? t of them modeled after La
Lanterne, V Intramiqcant, and La Ba
taj'lle of the French demagogues. The
acrimony of theirlangauge and the cyn
ism of their accusations are unparallel
ed elsewhere. If one were to accept
the opinions of these papers he would
firmly believe that the public men of
Colombia arc a gang-of thieves fit only
for the galleys of Toulon. In no piirt of
the world are the men who administer
the government subject to such vile at
tacks not only through the press, but
by word of mouth for noisy clamor is
neither punished nor checked. An il
lustration of this: At one time the
houses of Congress could not assemble
for the transaction of business except
under the protection of a battalion of
soldiers, and when one da this guard
was absent the hoots and insults of the
spectators in the galleries were simply
monstrous. These outrages are there
regarded as "excesses inseparable from
libertv." Cor. X. Y. Herald.
RAZOR LORE.
A'lGoud Itazor Are ent to Hamburg to

Outtit.
. A tonsorial artist, gifted with the
volubility of his craft, remarked yester
day to a reporter that there was a great
difference in razors, and the best were
American razors. Then he warmed up
with his subject, and continued:
"Why, Sheffield stuff can not com
pare with the true American razor, al
though the Sheffield meu have a manu
factory on this side, the American con
cave razor is the pride of the world. It
glides easily and gracefully over all the
facial angles, contortions and bumps."
"Who grinds your razors?" we asked.
"All our razors are ground in Ham
burg. Tin1 Shellield manufacturers alo
send all their razers there to be ground.
All the world goes to Hamburg to have
a proper edge set on razors. Why do
not the grinders come to this country?
Why, that is easily explain!. They
have a good business there, and if the
emigrated, they would have none here,
for Hamburg alone is known as the razor-grinding
market.
"I am only a journeyman barber, but
my place and salary depend upon my
skill and the use of a smooth, velvet
edged razor vhich will suit the thinnest
skinned customer. Do our bosses sup
ply such razors? Oh.no. Every jour
neyman barber in good repute must
have his own supply of razors, whether
iu New York, Chicago or San Francisco,
er even in intervening country towns.
Besides, he must supply his own combs
and brushes."
"Suppose he had none of these?"'
"Why, he would be regarded as a
tramp barber, and not eligible to a situ
ation in any good establishment, while
the lower grade shops wouldlcok upon
him with suspicion.1 Y. II Huu.

FRENCH DETECTIVE POLICE.
A Bad Siyatrta, a Small Hodyaa4 a Large
Amount ot Work to De.
There is, or has been until very lately,
an idea that the prefecture de police in
Paris commands the services of a large
number of agents, all able and some of
exceptional ability in their peculiar call
ing, who devoted themselves entirely to
the crime, who could immediately be
launched on the track of a criminal, and
of whom some had no ostensible connec
tion with the prefecture, and were thus
able to throw the most suspicious male
factors off their guard. From M. Mace's
book, plain and prosaic and shattered
many cherished legeuds, it appears that
the "agents de la Surete" are a small
body with a vast amount of work to do.
and that the system under which they
work is about as bad as it possibly can
be. As to their numbers, his statements
are surprising. In 1879 there were all
told in 2:57 men in the service. In 1881
there were, including the Police des
Mcenrs, fused in that year with the Su
rete, and of whose special work we do
not for obvious reasons wish to speak,
806 agents; in 188:5 apparently about the
same. At first sight this may seem a
large number, and certainly, if the per
fecture commanded the services of some
240 or 250 skillful detectives, excluding
the Police des Majors, always
at its disposition, it would be well
able to grapple with crime; but, as a
matter of fact, it has nothing of the
kind, These men are not all skillful de
tectives by any means. Some" are or
were sent from other branches of the
service as a punishment. Some are re
cruits who have been very carelessly en
rolled, and it appears from one passage
in M. Mace's book that the best of the
recruits are apt to leave early if thevsee
their way to other employment. Then
from the total number must be deduct
ed the considerable staff required for of
fice and clerk's work, and a certain
number on the sick list, so that practi
cally the administration ban not more
than 200 men at its disposal. The work
which these agents have to do is enor
mous. In addition to this not inconsid
erable amount of work the ageuts had
to deliver personally 6,193 summones,
notices and letters from the Parquets.
Of this part of their duties M. Mace
speaks stronglv. and seemingly with
good reason. The unfortunate agents,
with only a short night's rest before
them, have to issue forth in the evening
for they never geb tne otticial docu
ments before and to discover all sorts
of disagreeable persons lodged in the
bad quarters of Paris, where, on the part
alike of the landlords aud of the retiring
guests, there is the strongest possible
dislike to intrusion, and sometimes a
marked tendency to make tha delivery
of undesired letters as unpleasant as
possible for the bearers. Needless to
say that the function is arduous and
perilous, and that it constitutes a severe
addition to the day's work. Saturday

Lord Be'condield has been re
proached with b irrg wholly given over
to personal ambition, lie was not, it
is said, a patriot at all. He was simply
a clever, unscrupulous promoter of his
individual success. The censure is as
meaningless as it is stereotyped. What
is it which divides ambition from pa
triotism? Wiio can s.iy at what point
the former ceases to be indispensable
to the latter? IIw is a m n to place
himself in the position of serving his
country, unless he"first secures the ear
of his country; and how is he to do this
unless, as a preliminary, he advances
himself and takes his stand on a com
manding platform?
That the polluy or r.onl Beaconsfield.
when he obtained the opportunity of
moulding apoiioyaud secured for it tho
approval of the English people, was
eminently patriotic and was ia con
formity with the b-'st traditions of Kn
giish statesmanship, has already been
shown. Ambition is a part of patriot
ism. Tne motives which are the
priimuu mohile of the patriot
must alwavs be beyond the ken
of the critic. It is by his e.it-rnal
action only, and its results, that the
patriot can bv udged. It may be con
lidently predicted that the more calmly
ami impartially the career of Lord
llcaconsficld Is e-;am:ucd the more con
temptuously will history reject the
c.iarge. often and mechanically bronghl
aamst him. ot being a political adven
turer. He made polities his profession,
lie fought hs way by d nt of irsintre-
d:ty, his intellectual power, his
knowledge of human nature, his elo
t Ufiice. Ids wit his litcrarv skill. He
must therefore be classed with such
nii'ii as Chatham aud his son. w th
lturkc, IMacauIay. and iMr. Gladstone
himself. Nor will Lord Beacon-lielp
ever be recognized as an adventurer in
the -euse that he changed his princi
ples with the lime-, that he deserted a
falling cans ju-t soon pnough to pin
his allegiance to the wi ningcolors that
he subordinated prin iples to ex
pediency. '-The Letters of Run

i'hV4lcl r it f.
Dr. Charles Pinckney, a man of fine
learning anil observation, opens up a
stupendous suggestion. He asked, the
other dav: Have you thought muclj
of the plnsical effect of the Panama
Canal?"
Not much."
"Well, let me throw out a sugges
tion. The l'acilic Ocean is live times
as large as the Atlantic The rotary
motion of the earth, acting on water
near the equatorial line, of course, has
a tendency to pile it up. The bulk of
tho l'acilic beiuir so mucli larger than
the Atlantic, is 1 fled twouty-cight feet
h hcr than the Atlantic, ror the same
reason, that of its bulk, it is about
twenty degrees colder Now imagine
the ei'cct of this enoimous body of wa
le:, twenty-eight feet higher ia level
and twenty decrees lower in tempera
ture, being poured into the Atlantic
through the canal.
Why doesn't it seek its levo! below
the cape?"
"Because that point of meeting is so
far from the equatorial line that the
centrifugal force Is uot so great and
the levels of the two oceans are tht
ame. Up about the Panama the dif
ference in levels is great and the im
mense volume of the Pacific will rush
dowu into the Atlantic with terrific
force."
"And with what effect?"
"That is almost beyond speculation.
