FRIDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1880-
Tub Karl of Cawdor and parly, num
bering six guns, recently succeeded in
bagging the extraordinary number of 505
bares in one day. Gamekeepers and gil
lies were of course unable to carry them
and they were conveyed to the castle In
carts.
It is stated In a letter from Rome that
the Count de Cliambord has presented a
petition to the Pope praying for the beat
ification (the preliminary degree of can
onisation) of Louis XVI, and that Leo

of the Rites.
A tuajn on the Memphis and Charles

Registration In New York city closed
last Saturday evening. The total number
of votes registered in four days ra 210,-
974, against 183,064 in 1870, showing an
increase this year of 33,810. During the
last three weeks 10,295 foreigners were
naturalized, of whom 0,045 obtained tbeir
papers through the Democratic committee,
and 3,350 through the Republican com
mittee. The New York Express esti
that 203,830 votes will be cast, and
estimates the Democratic majority in the
city at 63,187.
Paying tiik National Debt.—The
Republicans tell us that they have paid a
good deal of the national debt. Demo
crats pay tax as well as Republicans, I
suppose. For tlie last sixteen years 500,-
000 gallons of whisky per day havo been
manufactured. The tax on that wlusky
lias amounted to the inconceivable sum of
$0,800,000,000. ir that tax had been hon
estly collected—if the Republican thieves
had been content to steal only half of It—

An elephant is used in a spectacular
play in Philadelphia. He is kept in
stable several blocks away, and taken to
the theatre every evening at tbe proper
point in tlie piece. One afternoon lie
took it into bis head that the time had
come to perform. Throwing his keeper
aside, lie burnt iuto the street, overturned
a wagon and several street stands on his
way to the theatre, smashed a door, and
took his usual stand on the stage. The
absence of lights aud audience seemed to
convince him that he had made a mistake,
and he suffered himself to baled hack to
the stable.
The Hamilton estates, comprising 8,000
acres of important agricultural, sporting
and mineral properly in the North Riding
of Yorkshire, were offered the other day at
auction. The property was offered in
ten lots, hut all were withdrawn, the bid
ding being too low. There is certainly
not over competition for farms in Eng
land, and notwithstanding the unques
tioned productiveness of the year many
English landlords do not think it compen
sates for three bad years, and, like Lord
Beacousiicld, wiio lias found time from
the composition of “Endymlon” to re
member his teuants, are making reduc
tions of 15 aud 20 per cent, in their rents.

From Texas in particular the reports indi

Other accounts were also unfavorable,
and the drift of public opinion appeared to

transpired to change tbeso views. The
weaMier, however, has been partially un

An Indian thief was turned over to the
chief of his tribe, at San Diego, Cal., and
by him sentenced to receive a hundred
lashes. The culprit was a big, powerful
fellow; but lie submitted quietly to being
tied to the side of a high wagon, witn his
legs and arms extended, and his back
bared. A stalwart Indian struck the
blows with all bis might, using a leather
lariat, and making the blood flow at every
stroke. Tlie victim endured this dread
ful torture in grim silence for a while,
nnd then broke into agonized screams.
If be hot! remained silent to the end, the
chief would have lestoredhimtothe tribe;
but, as he “cried like a coward baby,” he
■was afterward driven out of the neighbor
hood.

In a book of travels called “Pictures

graph appears, which, if true, will excite
universal surprise:
“An English lady had told me that no
marriage was valid solemnized after 12

Church of England. This statement
seemed incredible to me, In view of the
fact that marriages take place at every

with a stranger to English laws or that she

case to Dean Stanley himself. He assured
me that wliat my friend had told me was
correct. All marriages, according to the
canonical law of tlie nigh Church, are
null and void after noon, unless by special
license from tbe Right Honorable Most

A Valuable Gizzard.—Mrs. Jennie

Anderson, during which time she lost

After an unsuccessful search of several

This morning, Oct. 23,18S0, while Mrs
Anderson was dressing a chicken for

which, upon closer examination, proved
to be a diamond of considerable value.

What Democratic Rule Meaxs to
South Carolina.—The Charleston News
and Courier, in an article reviewing tho
revenue history of that State under Radi
cal and Democratic rule, says:
The amount of taxation in the State
depends on tho value at which property
is assessed, and upon the rate of the actual
tax. In 1870 the whole of tlie real and
personal property in South Carolina was
assessed for taxation at $183,913,367.
This was tar beyond the actual value.
Of late years the market value of property
lias increased, yet the assessment, since
tlS70, when the Democrati: party came
into power, has been reduced toS120,-
551,024. A tax of 10 mills on the assessed
valuo in 1870 would amount to $1,839,-
133, and a similar tax on the present
assessment would amount to only $1,205,-
510, a difference of $633,617 in favor of the
taxpayers. Since 1876 the reduction in
assessment has been over fifteen million
dollars, which is equivalent to a saving of
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year.
Tlie most striking comparison, howev
er, is between the amobnts actually paid
by the people iuto the State Treasury, for
a series of years, as taxes. In eight years
of Radical rule, from 1868 to 1876, the re
ceipts for State taxes were $10,241,820,
an annual average of $1,280,228. During
the three years of Democratic rule the re
ceipts front taxes were $1,646,710, an an
nual average of $515,672. The direct sav
ing in State taxes alone is, therefore,
$164,656,'which is equal to $2,293,908 in
three years, a saving of more than two
and a quarter million dollars by the re
duction of governmental expenses conse
quent upon the election of Democratic
candidates in 1870.

Religion and Politics.—One Wil
liam R. Grace, a New York merchant of
high character, lias been nominated by
the Democrats for mayor. Grace is said
to be a Catholic, and therefore it is
charged that his nomination is an attempt
to bring religion into politics. The fact
is, however, that while Grace’s Catholi
cism could bring him not an additional
vote, it is certain to lose him a great
many. Many Protestants will not vote
for a Catholic, but the converse is rarely
true. Religious proscription is at fatal
war with our whole governmental system,
nor Is a purpose to force religion Into poli

from any religious affiliation. The road
to o£ce is alike open to all.

vote for him? There Is not one good
reason you can offer. You should lay

your opportunity by voting for Clements.

Tbalkind of economy which has its

as in religion, that the first lesson is “deny

We havo time and again expressed the

ily upon Dr. Felton, who seems to think
that lie enjciys pre-emption rights to the
seat hi Congress which appertains to that
geographical division of tho State.
But while feeling thus, we are not in
sensible to (he Doctor’s gorid points. Ho
is undoubtedly an able man, and in some
respects liberal and even generous. Thus,
a friend liiforraed us recently, that when
ever Dr. Felton leaves home to attend to
his congressional duties, he invariably
hands over his elegant horse and buggy to
a worthy minister ot another denomina
tion, to be used by him during tho entire
session ot Congress. Not only does he do
this, but also makes abundant provision

The Hebrews.—Dr. S. Gibbon, medi

that, whatever may be the cause, there is
no doubt that a Jew’s life in London is,
on the average, worth twice as many years
as a Christian’s. The Hebrews of the
metropolis arc notoriously exempt from
tubercular and scofnlous taint. It is very
rare one meets with pulmonary consump
tion among them. The medical officer of
one of their large schools has remarked
tliat their children do no't die in any tiling
like the same ratio as Gentile children;
and in tho district of Whitechapel the
medical officer of health lias reported that
on the North side of High street, occupied
by the Jews, tbe average death rate is 20
per 1,000, while on the south side, occu

Hia Race to Vote for Hancock.
We give place with real pleasure to the
following timely article, taken from tbe
Boston Glibi, and only wish it oould be
read and heeded by all of our colored
friends before next Tuesday. The author
Is an intelligent citizen of African descent
who resides in Maine, and he evidently
knows what lie is talking abont:
I, Lovi"Davis, a native of North Caro
lina, but tor many years a resident of
Maine and a Republican of tbe old
school, feel it my imperative duly to give
to the public my views of the two great
political parties of the day, as it be
comes all men to lay aside all prejudice
of the past and deal fairly with impor
tant issues of the day upon which hang
tbe destinies of the people. The Repub
lican party seems to think that the col
ored race is in duty bound to vote its
ticket. That party has done great things
for the colored people in the past, for
Which wo are indeed grateful, and for
which we bave acted with that party
many years. But the Republican party
of the past is not the Jlepublican party of
to-day. Then the Republican party was
interested in tbe colored race from a prin
ciple, now they are actuated only by poli
cy. By keeping up sectional animosity
between North aud South, by sowing the
seeds of discord and hatred between tbe
races in the Southern Stages, they are
working against the best' interests of our
race, and tlie farther this policy Is pursued
the worse will ba the condition of the col
ored people of the South.
Tho question for every sensible colored
man to ask is, “ What Is this for?” Why
is it that tho leaders of the Republican
party seek to keep up this feeling of
hatred between the races in the South ?
Tlie war has been ended more than fifteen
years. Freedom of the colored race was
proclaimed before tho close of tbe war,
but the “freedmen" so-called have not re
ceived more than half their freedom. This
has been due largely to the political
schemers and wire-pullers of the Republi
can party, to the leaders of that once great
party whose only object b to rule or ruin,
to make tbe rich man richer aiid tho poor
man poorer. For instance, seo the “Freed
man Bank swindle,” in which thousands
of my people were stripped of their hard
earnings by the very men whom they
had been taught to regard as their friends;
and yet tbU Is but one of the many
wrongs wo havo suffered as a
people at ths hands of those men who
now ask us for our support in ilia com
ing election. In my opinion the once
great Republican party has outlived its
usefulness. No Republican President,
elected upon the present principles of tliat
party, which are sectional animosity and
personal hatred between sections and
races, can bring that peace, prosperity and
happiness to the country, and especially
to my people, the colored men of the
South, as will the now assured election
of Gcueral HancocK. With his election,
and with his inauguration on the 4tli day
of March next, we shall behold the dawn
ing of a better day. Then sectional aul
mosity will die away. That old garment,
The Progress of the Obelisk.
The gigantic monolith, how on its way
to the Central Park, says the World of
tlie 27th, was yesterday mbved 120 feet
further up the hlll.to within 100 feet of tbe
Boulevard on which it is expected that it
will rest to-night. A large gang of labo
rers were at work all last night moving
the heavy timbers across the Boulevard,
under the personal superintendence of
Lieutenant-Commander Gondnge. and
hauling the cable-chain over. The heavy
timber will not be required again until
the obelisk reaches Eighty-sixth' • street.
Tbe cable-chain used is tbe bower-chain
Of the Dessoug. It is of one and three- mMhi'n^' in^feTorthv 1 ^^
quarters of an inch in diameter, hi iron from firsf Perform™,
links two inches long. The purchase
blocks are fourfold iron shreaves and
shells in which a six-inch Manilla rope is
rove. The force that has been exerted to
move the obelisk up tlie hill has been
equivalent to that required to lift
a weight of twenty-eight tous when
the blocking has been carefully placed,
but owing to the very bad condition of
the street, a force equivalent to that re
quired to lift thirty-five tons has 'occa
sionally been necessary to move toe obe
lisk ahead. It may be interesting to state
that one end of the cable-chain is fastened
to a heavy timber post let into the ground
for ten feet, which Is technically termed
an anchor. Tho post to which tlie chain
js now fastened stands in Ninety-sixth
Street, on the east side of the Boulevard.
The other end of the chain carries out of
the purchase blocks, tb* other purchase
blotk of the pair beiug hooked on tlie end
of a span or bridle, which is in turn fas
tened to the cradle on which the obelisk
rests. The chain is In lengths of 90 feet
and there are six lengths or 540 feet in ail.
As each pull is made one length o the
chain is removed and so on until the obe
lisk lia3 readied the post, which is now
(shifted 500 teet further in the direction
the obeltsk-is to move.
In the Park five more bents for tbe
trestle-work have been erected and eight
more have been bolted together prepara
tory to being moved into position for erec
tion. At tlie site tho north pier has gone
up about four feet, tlie timber beds have
been hoisted irto position on the south
pier, the steel bed-beams also hoisted over
and placed on them, and two of the steel
upright beams have been erected on the
bed-beams. Tlie public will soon be able
to understand the method of erecting the
obelisk. Tbe work now accomplished
each day begins to tell tlie story plainly
of this tedious and difficult feat of en
gineering.
All the work of replacing the timbers,
frames, beams and plating of tlie I)es-
soug has been completed and critically
examined by experts. A small gang is
kept on board to finish clearing up and
covering the iron with cement and paint
and preparing the steamer for her next
work. The Dessong .ies in the navy-yard,

The Garfield-Cuinkse Letter—, . . LI „ - . ..
The Democratic central committee of the taar^searalVn’become tbe*
District of Columbia sends the following
letter to the Washington Ecening Stun
dated October 20,18S0:
“Postmaster Ainger in rushing to the
defense of Gen. Garfield in his attempt to
prove the post-mark on the so-called Chi
nese letter a forger)’ seems to have blun
dered, whether deliberately or not is for
tlie public to>judge. In Ids letter published
in your issue of.Na.urday last, he says :
‘An entire new set of cancelling stamps
were placed in use at this office on tlie
13tli of April.” Now, this committee
have in their possession four different
kinds of stamps that were in use in the
Washington office from December 29,
1879, to October 21,1880, and are lettered
as follows: 1st, Washington, 1879, Dec.
29,5 P. M., D. C.; 2d, Washington, Jan.
21,1 P. M., 1830, D. C.; 3d, Washington,
Feb. 27, 7 P. M., 18S0, D. C.,
and 4th, Washington, D. C., April
10th, 5 p. m., 1880. Here wc have four
different kinds of stamps in use iu Mr.
Atnger’s office tn less than ten months,
which is at least evidence that there was
no uniformity in the use of tlie dating
stamps at his office. The stamps of De
cember 29 and January 21 are made of
rubber, while those of February 27
and April 10 are of steel. The dating
stamp of February 27, 1S80, is the exact
fac simile of that of October 21,1880, the
stamp now in use. The letters arc exact
ly tlie same, the arrangement of words
and figures tlie same and in size the same,
which is sufficient evidence that the stamp
was not < hanged April 13, as Mr. Aitgcr
claims. These envelopes can be seen at
our committee rooms any day between tbo
hours of 12 and 2 p. tn.

BiU Arp
Offers tho following sage advice to
girls who contemplate committing matri
mony : “Women are a heap better than
ineu if they have half a chance. They
are created better. They begin the world
better in their infancy. Little girle don’t
go around throwing rocks at birds and
shooting s.ing-shots at the chickens and
running the calves all over the let aud
setting the dogs on the barn cats aud
breaking up pigeons’ nests and all that.
I never saw a boy tliat didn’t want to slioot
a gun and kill something. It’s a wonder
to me tliat these kind, tender hearted girls
will have anything to do with ’em, but
it seems like thev will, and I reckon it’s
all right; butjf I was a young marryin’
woman I would bo mighty particular
about mating with a feller round town
who belonged to half a dozen societies of
one sort or another and was out every
night.
“If I wanted a man all to myself I
would look out for some fanner boy who
would take me to the country where
there ain’t no clubs or Masonic lodges or
Odd Fellows, or Knights of Honor or
Pythias, or ticylla or Oharybdis, or fire
companies or brass bands, or mardigras
or pate do foio gras. I’d force him to love
me whether he wanted to or not, for there
wouldn’t be anything to distract his atten
tion. But then, if a girl wants to Uy
round and bo everybody’s gal, and liave
all sorts of a time, why then she’d better
marry in town. It’s all a question of
having one good man to love you, or a
dozen silly ones to admire. But as I ain’t
a woman, I suppose it’s none of my busi
ness.”

ing sheet of bad men, who have sought by
this and oilier vile mians to retain power
against tlie best interests of tho nation
and it will with them be consigned to the
dark grave of oblivion, and be buried s6
deep tliat they may never have a resur
rection.
If our colored Southern people would
but consult tlielr own intereststliey would
vote for the better!ngof their condition,
and not against it. Tlie time has come
to lay aside all personal prejudices and to
act like ineu, aud it seems to me the in
terests of the South, the interests of those
with whom they live aud from whom they
get their bread and butter, should be the
true interests of the colored men of the
South. They should seek to cultivate
kind and pleasaut feelings toward their
fellow-men, and to do this' it is important
that they should vote against sectional
hatred and strife. We greatly need a
change of government. Corrupt
and bad men should be driven to
the rear; tlie great body of office
holders who use their positions for cor
rupt purposes should be driven out and
their places filled with those interested in
the people’s welfare. My advice is,
“Vote, vote for General Hancock,” and
by so doing you aro voting for tlie true
interest* of the entire people, forwitli his
election will como such an era of joy,
peace and happiness, such a prosperous
condition ofatlairs as the nation lias never
seen before; when peace shall reign on
earth aud good will prevail among our
entire people.

The Tisoa-Calloway Homicide.
As there is a good deal of interest in
tills unfortunate affair, wo publish the
following letters, which will explain
themselves:
Albany, Ga., Oct. 28,1SS0.
Dear Hr. Flanders; Johunie Calloway
killed Ike Tison in Leesburg last night
with a double-barreled gun, instantly.
He has just returned from Leesbiitg. It
was a pure case of just ifiable homTcide.
Tison followed John to the store and shot
through the key-hole and blinds until his
-pistol was emptied. He went ofl'then
and got a Henry rifle, a sixteen shooter,
came back, shot through the blinds, sash,
etc., until John jumped out oftho window
and shot him dead. No blame attaches
to John—not ovcu from Tison’s friends.
Johnnie got in his buggy aud rode ell to
wards Macon. There was no need of his
leaving.- Chan. Jones.
Albany, Ga., Oct. 28.
Mr. C. B. Callotoag: The coroner’s
jury exonerated John from any blame
finding a verdict of purely justifiable
liomicTdc... No one attaches any blame to
him a:, all, but blame him for forbearin
so much before lie shot him. I write you
for fear you will hear various reports and
get uneasy. Mino are all authenticated,
and come from Tison’s friends.
Yours, Chan. Jones.
Does Want Southern Trade.
Cincinnati, October 29.—A committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, appointed
to ascertain tho namo of tlie writer’of the
letter recently published In tho Louisville
Courier-Journal, purporting to bo from a
Cincinnati merchant and saying that
Cincinnati did not want the Southern
trade and had no desire to cultivate bus!
ncis relations with Southern men, reported
to-day by reading a letter from Mr. Wat-
terson, of the Courier-Journal. In answer
to the committee’s request for the name
of tlio author of tin k-ll-.-r. Mr. Wattcr-
Son said that if tho letter had come under
his observation it would not have been
printed. That while it reflected tin-
sentiments of a portion ’of
the daily prcs3 of Cincinnati,
he was sure it did not represent the feel
ing of tho mass of the business men of
Cincinnati. With this disclaimer of any
indorsement of tho views of tho letter,Mr.
Wattcrsor. thought tho object of tbe com
mittee would be attained, and as the dis
closure of the name of tho writer would
imperil his business, if not bis life, he
felt obliged to decline the com
mittee’s request. The consid
eration of tho committee's re
port was laid over until to-morrow. The
chamber voted to hold no session on Tues
day next, upon a petition signed by mem
bers of both political parlies, "v

Some Peculiarities of Maud S.
Maud.S., the champion trotter of the
worht, is a long-bodied marc, standing
fifteen bands two and a half inches high
at the withers and fully sixteen hands
high at the hips. Her weight, in trotting
condition, is 960 pounds, pud her stride,
when going at her best, on a straight
track, is about eighteen feet. In bergreat
feat at Chicago, September lStb, when
she trotted a mile in 2:10f, her stride,
when coming down the liowc stretch
against a high wind, was a little less than
seventeen feet. She wears “shin boots”
and “scalpers,” anil carries a fourteen-
ounce shoe with a four-ounce toe weight
in front, and an.eight-ounce shoe behind.
Site is usually driven in a bridle without
“blinds,” but, in tbe trial above alluded
to, a blind bridle was used.
Tbe reason tor tliis change, as given by
her driver, Mr. Blair, Is, that in her trial
of Thursday, September ICtb, when she
trotted a mite iu 2:11}, he thought it ad
visable to touch her lightly with tbe whip
when coming down the homestretch. She
saw tlie whip lifted for the stroke aud
swerved from it. He then touched her
on the other side to straighten
her course, and another swerve,
which resulted in a break, by which she
lost a second of time, was the conse
quence. This was the first time he had
ever touched her with a whip, and he
argued that with “blinkers” he could do
this without causing her to swerve. The
result of Saturday’s trial proved the cor
rectness of his conclusions, and in her
trials hereafter the bliukers will always
be used. She is a mare of very strong
will, and it is necessary to handle her
with great gentleness. A man who would
fight her would soon reader her
entirely unmanageable.
Patience, a Power.
There is always a tendency to depre
ciate what we are pleased to call passive
ctrlues, and among those patience stan.'a
pre-cmiuent. There is a general idea that
to bo patient means simply to be quiet,
inactive aud calm, and that it is a quality
much more likely to be found united with
feebleness, sluggishness and inactivity
than with strength, capability and enthu
siasm. Some one once said derisively
“The most patient bird is an owl, tbe most
patient beast Is an a33, and the most
patient roan is a fool.” But the scorn thus
thrown upon this attribute is not only, un
just and u 1 .reasonable, but roost injurious
to character and self-vulture. Nothing
more surely queuebes the desire for any
good quality than to throw uponit tlie
stigma of weakness, and the young, eager
and impetuous will soon learn to despise
and cast from them a characteristic which
they hear coupled with feebleness aud
inactivity.
The truth is, however, that true pa
tience always implies power, aud is often
the very highest expression of strong feei- 1
ing and determined will. Take, for ex
ample, Jhe most common instance in
which patience seems called for—physical
suffering. When every effort to allcviatej
it has failed, nothing remains but to en
dure. How is this done? One person
will break out into lamentations, writhe
in violent contortions, insist on the sym
pathy and exertions of every one around
him, and thus increase his own pam and
make others miserable. Another sum
mons reason to his aid, and calmly b 0 ars
what is inevitable. He restrains com
plaints, hides, as-far as possible, the
appearance of anguish, aud preserves
a dignity and, perhaps, even a
cheerfulness of demeanor. He does
not dilate upon his own miseries
nor seek to inflict llieir details upon bis
friends. Which of tiiese is the stronger
in character and in will? Surely he who
patiently and calmly endures without
weak and useless repinings. Tbe patient
sufferer is powerful, self-sustained, reso
lute, courageous, heroic. The loud la-
metiter is feeble, dependent, faint-hearted,
cowardly. The same distinction is evi
dent iu the way in which all the ills, of
life aro borne. The brave, strong man,
who strives the hardest to resist and con
quer them, will, when all his efforts are
unavailing, still be strong and brave in
enduring them, while the vacillating and
feeble mtfn,iwho yields before the first
blast of tronblc, will bo loud aud bitter
in his complaints. . .. .
Patience, however, Is not confined to
tho simple act of endurance. It is a most
necessary element In every active enter
prise, iu every noble purpose, in every
energetic endeavor. It not only teaches
us how to be brave in failure, but also,
helps us to be successful In action. For
there js no undertaking worthy of tlie
name that docs not need untiring patience
as well as energy. How iniuy young
men have begun their work full of hope
and enthusiasm, havo expended labor and
thought aud tlrao upon it, and then cast
it aside, simply because they bad not pa
tience to overcome its obstacles and to
persevere against discouragement.. They
thought themselves strong, bat
just when their strength was
most needed it forsook them. Perhaps no
characteristic of Columbus more largely
contributed to his wonderful discovery
than his patience. His intelligent thought,
his eager enthusiasm, his earnest labor,
would all liave been thrown away had he
not possessed the steadfast patieucc which
enabled him to lace all the discourage
ments, to resist the entreaties and threats
of his sailors, and to press on nobly to the
end he sought. Never did his strength
of character shine forth more brightly than
when lie refused tlie temptation to turn
back, and patiently pursued his aim with
out sympathy or encouragement.

Preparation for Life—Before go-
ing out into life, or entering upon the dip
ties required of us in Its various walks,
some preparation is necessary to fit us for
wliatever calling we may choose to adopt
—^whether it be that of attorney at law,
physician, merchant, broker or banker.
Even tbe thief and tbe pickpocket prepare
themselves for what they term their “pro
fession,” by assiduous labor and great
painstaking. Is it less important, then,
tliat the young men who are to bo our fu
ture men of affairs—our merchants and
bankers—should be carefully trained
for the duties which will
devolve on them? Consider for a
moment the vast number ot blunders that
would bo avoided—the numerous failures
that would be prevented—were this plan
universally adopted, and no one can doubt
its great utility. Commerce is vast, intri
cate and many-sided. It requires a culti
vated and well disciplined brain to grasp
its intricacies. Experience is a valuable
teacher, and we cannot afford to do with
out its instructions; but no experience
car wholly make amends for lack of edu
cation. Wo must depend in great part
upon education for our knowledge ofthe
laws ot trade and finance, and our future
success ir mercanlile affaire; This being
tbe case it is easy to see at once the im
portance of having the education-of the
young man destined for the walks of
bueiness specially adapted to the demands
of liis future calling. The great mistake
of the past has been the idea that any
sort of an education would do for those
who were going into business. The fail
ures, the losses and the consequent misery
have refuted this doctrine; and, through
out the whole land, people liavo been
waking up to tlie importance of
practical education for the young. Pa
tents are no longer willing to send their
sons out into tlie world without due prep
aration. In consequence of this there
have been vast 'strides in the cause of
practical education within the past few
years. The people demand it, and ear
nest educators are takiug hold of tbe mat
ter ln a manner which will insure to the
young men of ihe present far better op
portunities than their elder brothers have
enjoyed.

who apply with so strong an interest tiiat
I do not know to whom to give it.” The
doctor, in reply to his Majesty, said that It

“How?” asked the King. “If your Maj
