The rules of the Institution required that no gentlemen teichers bo employed unless mankd. Wiight , who was a native of Connecticut , lepiesetited Hint he was married and wa-ablo losatlsfy the in Inclpal ot that fact. After he had been employed thcte some time ho Infoimcd one of the young lady pupils Ibat ho was not married , but had lepie ented himself so In ordei to pet a place. The young girl was Inlatualed with him and they beeimo engaged to be mauled. The girl's family opposed the marriage and made an appeal to Mi. Manning to look up the young man's hislory. Manning sild the youngghl was headstrong and almost cei- tiiln to inn avv.iy , although closely guaided , unless evidence could be quickly piouited that Wiiglit was mailed.

AN ruitovnous The pension bmcaii Is in receipt ol thou sands of letteis liom all p.uts ot the country indicating Hie existence ol a widespread but eiioneoiislmpiession that the recent decision ol Iho hiipieme u.ui t in Hie case of Mrs. Hattie - tie A. llmnett vslbo United blabs would bi lug about an almost total < hinge in the latcs of p Misioas allowed to the widows of the soldici s ol tlie lido vvat. The decision , which was icndeied by Justice Hailan , on thccontiaiy , sustains the piactke of tlio pension otlice. Mrs. Uuriielt's 1ms- Imnl , Oen. Waul 11. liurnett , was allowed a pension ol 5pci month by a special act of coagiess , on acionnt of his totally helpless condition , duo to wounds leeched dining the Mexican vv.u. The widow was allowed a pension ot S-A In accordance with the pto- vlslons ot the gcnoial law. She , howevei , appealed to the court of claims , claim ing the same amount pci month that hei husuand had iceeived. That court In its decision used this language : "Tho widow becomes entitled to a pension , not nccessailly at tlio.smno late her husband was entitled to , hut the late he would have be-en entitled to it his eliim weie toumled upon what In tlio pension law is technically called 'total disability.1" The degiee ol disability by which his pen sion was i.ited in ikes nodllfeieiice with the widow's light Altei de.ilh all devices of disability me conskieied by law as one and the same , lo-vv it : total disability , and the rate ol pension given lo tint grade becomes the late of pension foi widows.

A pension of S J a month , the supposed equivalent for total disability , Is granted a widow. 'Iho decision ot the United Slates supi erne court , which has hi en somu'Ji nils- umleibtood , simjily , as IK fine stated , aflirms the Judgment ot the court ot claims , and the long established practlci ) ot the pension buieau has theieby iccelved the sanction of the highest tilbiniul In the land. HOI , vt v : , ox DAKOTA'S ADVIISSIOX , In speaking today of the recent occur- rentes In Dakota Jmlgo llolnian.of Indiana , Midthat ho thought thu time had tuobably comowheii It was light that Dakota should bo admitted as a state. The house , ho said , had no tight tocoiislder the political healings ot thu case , 'Iho only questions that oc- onrml to his mind werowliethei thu popula tion was sulllclentl.v settled and pcimancat to make II heller for them to bo nndei a state lorm ot government , whether school hinds , etc. , could bo sulllciently seemed , and Hie question of government Interests in the leseivatlons , The government lias immense inteiest.s in Hie lenltoiv In Iho extensive hloux reset v.itlon , and It was undoubtedly true that these Inteiesls could Im better looked to undei a teiiitoiy than a state , but this last , ho thought , was not n uilhclent reason for lefuslng admission. The trouble Is. he said , when leu Holies spring up so inpldlv , that the people do not become milliclcnt- ly Ectlled nt once , Ihelr interests do ! iot become so closely connected with the tfiritoiy as to make them always so anxious fn > Its well being as should bo the case. Ueforo th VjW ere given conttol of thu affairs of the coiuinr Uu-y should be solidly enough established to be > fu trom thu selfish actions of bpccnlators , sluii > ia mid ud- venturers , whose only tmniose vvoilirf bo to get iK'isonal gain. Tlie public lands , t''U ' school lands , must be protected and the mat- lei of land grants carefully gii.uded. These , he thought , were piopcr questions to be con- skleieul whenever nay teiritory nought admission into the union , and these wcro the only things to betaken taken Into consideration with relation to Dakota. The teiritoiy must soon bo ad. mlttcd. It must temiu as one state , liowevci' The whole territory should properly come In togelher Its reonraphj rtnd clnracter of land required this , and ft would bo the onlv way It would be admitted , A division would not be practicable. Some pirts of Iheleirl- lory were necessarily spancly settled , on ac count of the pastoral characler of .sections while others were mow densely poinilotts , and the ground be'tler suited to ngilettlturAl pursuits. The teiritory coming Into the union , as it now Is. as a whole. would balance the geography of the country It would balance Texas , and form the points of a lilaaglo with it ami New Vork. The people of Dakota were not all n greed , how- ivei Some of the farmers wcro not so sure Hut they wanted to come Into the condition of n state just jet. All Ihat must be coasldcied. Ho did not think the recent action of the people In golm : through the form of a legislature , etc. , would hive any effect upon congicss. ihc Icttet she got tiom the people In Dakota in dicated that the people did not attach any grave Importance to this act. nn st nrntsHii IIIKM.
