On* Way to Ftml a Doily, We are told that in tho search for tte body of tho boy drowned at Eton college, now of the Gull the leader of the queen’s private hand and an organist at Windsor I Against these gentlemen personal ly we have nothing whatever to say. In every moral and social quality we haVe no doubt they are all that can be desired, and that so far their ad mission into the order to which they now belong was perfectly justified. But that bandmasters, organists and teachers of music are proper persons to be knighted cati hardly be tpain- tained on the assumption that knighthood is to continue to be re garded as the appropriate reward of public services in whatever capacity they may bo rendered. More espe cially Ib this obvious in relation to the art with which they themselves are connected, for assuredly if knighthood is a sufficient recogni tion of the eminence of Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir Charles Halle it is infinitely more than u sufficient rec ognition of the eminence of Mr. Par ratt, Dr. Bornby und Mr. Cusins. It is true that siiifcple knighthood, ns distinguished from knight corn- mundersliip of the Hath, St. Michael, and St. George and the Star of India, to say nothing of the Garror, the Thistle and St. Patrick, is npt nnd can scarcely lie expected to be held In any great veneration. Custom has mndo it imperative on the sover eign to confer it on a number of persons whose social status is alto gather different from that of those wlioure admitted to the royal or ders. But however promiscuously enjoyed, the honor, such as it is, is invariably shured by the judges of tho land nnd the law officers of the crowu. and even city sheriffs and provincial mayors have some reason to complain when its value is still further dejireciatod. No doubt the disreputo of knighthood is no new thing. Heralds are accustomed to date tho commencement from tho reign of James 1, who created 800 knights in six wooks, and that of his son, Charles I, who knighted among others Sir Jeffrey Hudson, the queen's dwarf. But it reached a cli max under Georgo IV, who discov ered in the mere threat of adminis tering the royal accolado an effectual protection against tho presentation of unwelcome addresses, and under William IV, who knighted every body who would allow l.im to do so •matters in this respect wore not much mended. Iu the earlier years otMho queen's reign. Uowevor, when the counsels of the lamented princo consort were in tho ascendant, knighthood was very sparingly conferred, nnd its po sition as a social distinction was pro portionately raised. But it is not too much to sny that of into it has been distributed with so little cir cumspection that it has become al most valueless for the purpose for which it is supposed and ought to exist.—London World. Springfield Saturday tho searchers adopted a plan proposed by one of opted the party, which was to tie up a loaf of rye bread in tho lost one's Bhirt and set it adrift in the water above the place where tho ]ad was drowned, tho theory being that the loaf would first until in the vicinity of the body. The plan was tried and a hundred or «nare people, says our informant, watched tho package float down the stream until at a certain point it be gan circling around, nnd their eyes watched it intently for five minutes «lr more, when suddenly it sank out «jf sight. And now comes the inter esting purtof the experiment—the body was afterward found within a tbw feet of the spot.—Sleepy Eye Dispatch. Tli® Liberty Cap. When the Romans manumitted a riavo his head was adorned with a •mall red cloth cup. As soon as this was done ho was known a libertinus. or freodmnn, and his name wus registered among others of •thecity's “tribes.” In the year 263, when Saturnius invaded the capital, >he hoisted a cap on tho point of his .spear, to indicate that nil slaves who .rallied around this standard should the tree. This was tho origin of the ■liberty cap still used in art as a sym flboL—fit Louis Republic. Unkind If Hot Rude.

Maud. Pie, d or bad. iB still always pie, and H hasting the Tapir. In the wilder parts of South America you can hag a deer or wild hog almost any day if you set wisely about it, but months may pass with out even the Bight of a tapir, though you may be in their haunts continu ally. You see plenty of- unmistak able three toed tracks and now and again you may hoar tapirs moving in the forest—not leaping through openings between the vines and bronchos ns a deer does, nor pushing the brush aside like a jaguar, but crushing their way by sheer strength with a great crackling of twigs. It is almost useless to follow tracks or sounds; clumsy as the animals ap pear, they can race through 'the un derbrush faster than a dog can fol low, and they are so keen of sight and scent and so prone to conceal, ment that oven the most experienced hunter rarely catches Bight of one in the daytime, unless by accidont. The best plan is to lie in writ for them os the lithe and crafty jaguar does, by their drinking nnd wallowing places, and this must be dono at night. I may as well add here that tapii-E are common all over tropical South and Control America, except the thickly settlod regions nnd the Pacific coast. Naturalists distinguish several species, differing mainly in size and the structure of the bones, but they ore much alike.

The British railway companies have in this way tot been carrying letters two or three years, and what was originally an experiment is today a demonstrated success. The number of letters so carried in one year in Great Britain was 145,000 and in Ire land 12,000. We are indebted to Mr. Henry L. Goodwin, of East Hartford, whose alert interest in postal reforms dur ing the past forty odd years has been of substantial service to the whole American people, for a copy of the agreement between her majesty’s postmaster general and the seventy- five British railway, tramway and steamship companies that ore thus co-operating with the department. Each company agrees to receive at any of its passenger stations and for ward any letter bearing a postage stamp or stamps of the value of one penny, not exceeding one ounce In* 1 weight and not containing a watch, jewelry or coin of the realm. For this servieo the company is author ized to collect two pence from the sender of tho letter, and this is the sole compensation it gets. Any subject of her majesty can post a letter and have it delivered into the hands of his fellow subject to whom it is addressed, if living within two miles of the postofflee, by the payment of additional postage at tho rate of three ponce for cuch mile or fraction of u mile. If thodistnnen exceeds two miles und there is no public conveyance available in both directions, “the actual cost at a spe cial/conveyance must ho in ad dition.” It is this service which the department desires to extend so ns to cover tlie letters sent outside tho mail bags. How great a convenience tho chance to send letters iu this new British fashion would often bo to cit izens of this glorious republic hardly needs pointing out. At present Homy of our passenger trains have-railway postofflees attached to them, and tho sender of a letter can post it on tho train personally. Tho railroad men are not allowed to do it for'Kim. In the cities there are mail boxes at tho railway stations, hut in the Country towns these are conspicuously ab sent.'- A great many passengor trains,how oorry closed mails. If there- were slits in the mail bagB for this inser tion of letters, and if the baggage master in charge were allowed for a reasonable feo to pop tho lottors of belated citizens into them, a great deal of time would bn saved and a great deal of inconvenience nnd an noyance avoided.—Hartford Cournnt. stiwh,.' , Ad Dm month U cherry ripe.

Atlanta, Nov, 22.—The old cry whloh was raised among the Negroes after Cleveland’s election In 1888, has been brought to the front agnln. The Negro ministers of this city met to-day, nnd decided to urge every Negro In the State to save up money and get ready to go to Africa. They declare that since Cleveland’s election the’ r last hope for civil rightB lias fled, and their preachers, at least, have de cided that Africa would be a butter country for them than here. The same cry was raised on the oc casion of Democratic success 111 1884, but now, as then will probably go up in smoke. Salntlnf tho Lightning. In Quito, according to Mr. Wliym- per, it is customary when a visitor takes off his hat on entering a room to beg him to put it on again, and in the absence of permission leave is generally requested. This custom is due to apprehension that cold will be taken if the head is uncovered. In Quito there are no stoves, fireplaces nor chimneys. The same persons, on going out of doors, take off their hats to flashes 'of lightning, no matter if rain is fall ing, and when the streets are busy and lightning is abundant a gro tesque effect is produced by these salutations, which seem to be re garded as a duty by all well behaved persons, and are performed as punc tiliously as the homage paid to relig ious processions.—Youth’s Compan ion. Welding Tube® of Bras®* The welding and spinning of brass and other metals by what is known os the Bevington process lias been indorsed by the Franklin institute of Philadelphia, to tho extent of grant ing one of the three medals issued by the society during the last thirty years. This method consists, brief ly, in the welding of the metals by forcing them into rapidly revolving dies, where they are softened by fric tional heat and muted end to end, os in ordinary welding, or forced into one homogeneous mass, as Bolid as if cast into one piece. Brass and copper may thus he welded, which has heretofore been considered impossible. In this man ner tubes of all kinds and of any length or thickness can bo readily formed, and the ends of short tubes be as neatly joined us if they hud been made in one piece.—New York Sun.
