College Education.
Mr. Charles Francii Adams, Jr., (who,
by the way, labors under the misfortune
of being the Springfield Jiepublican's
candidate for governor) lias just delivered
ti stirring address befone the Phi Beta
Kappa society at Harvard college, in
which he sharply attacked the devotion
paid by oar oolleges to tho study of Latin
and Greek. lie advooated tho study of
German and Fremiti in their stead, and
Boiel that he considered the four years he
had spent in Harvard as almost lost to
him. Every day be felt deficiencies which
ought to have been supplied by the
college curriculum, but which were not.
It is gratifying to see this ground taken by
such a man as Mr. Adams. The usual
answer made by our colloges to such
criticisms Is that the objector (generally
not a graduate) does not ronlly know what
he is talking about: if he bad only been
through colloge and felt the broadening
of mind and depth of culture acquired by
the study of Homer and Virgil, he would
not talk that way. But Mr. Adams is not
only a graduate himself; but he belongs
to a race of graduates. His great grand
father, bis grandfather and his f ither went
through Harvard, and he probably repre
sents the most cultured and gifted family
which this country has known. Almost
every member ofVt for more than a cen
tury has been distinguished above the
ordinary run of men. And liu himself is
considered to have inherited an unusual
share of the family's brains. Horace
Greely, years ago, said that of all the
horned cattle bo ever saw a college errad-
uate was the worst. Mr. Gree.'y spoke
with the vexation which an eminently
practical man felt at the u'.ter uselossnsss
of the learning of a young man fresh from
tho walls of Harvard and Yale in his day
for the wants of a great daily newspaper.
Mr. Greeley wanted men who could write
good strong plain English ; who knew the
laws of political economy; who could
write upon the political movements in
Europe and America from a thorough
knowledge of the history of the voting
countries. Instead of such qualifications
the young graduate could rem! and write
Latin and Greek indifferently well, and
knew far more about the politics of Athens
than he did of America, Some of our
largeroollcges are beginning to si'e that the
traditional education is not tho education
which the times demand, and Harvard
and Yale especially are widening their
couraes of study, and by tho adoption of
"elective" studies, giving tho students a
greater range than the old fashioned
academic course. It would bo well for
Middlcbury and Burlington to give heed.
A violent storm and tornado visited
parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts and
Now York last Monday afternoon one1
evening.
On Sunday the law requiring stamps
upon bank checks, drafts, orders and
vouchers, ruatche?, proprietary medicines,
perefumery, cosmotics, etc., went out of
operation.
Alas for Barnum! An elephant bigger
than Jumbo has just arrived at Liverpool
from his native jungle. Ho weighs nearly
live tons and has a trnnk 3 1-2 feet in
circumference.
The only internal revenue taxes
remaining are those on spirits,
now
mall
and
liquors, cigars, cigarettes, snuff
tobacco, and the special taxes
on
manufacturers of and deltars in those
articles. The tax on dealers in tobacco
and on tobacco, cigars and snuff were V'
reduced on the first of last May.
Monday .there was'.a reduction in the
charges upon money orders. The schedule
now is not over $10, 8 cents; $10 to $15,
10; $15 to $30, 15; $30 to $40, 20; $10
to $50, 25; $50 to $60, 30; $00 to $70, 35;
$70 to $80, 40; $80 to $100, 45 cents.
No more than three orders payable at the
same post office can bo issued to one per

apply to international inonoy orders.
Mr. Wong, the editor of the Chinese
American, a daily paper printed in New
York in Chinese characters, says that his
countrymen in the United States are
delighted with the action of congress in
prohibiting further Chinese immigration.
They do not want any more of their
countrymen to come here. His reason h
that those that aro now hero monopolize
the laundry business in tho cities and
new comers would cut down their profits.
This is not the view which was taken in
congress when the law was passed.
Perhaps Dennis Kearney and his Califor
nia friends, now that the liw pleases the
Chinese, will want it repealed.
That terrible scourge, the Asiatic
cholera, is now on its journoy towards this
country, if reports may be believed, and
may be expected to appear in S.in Fran
cisco before long. It is now more than thirty
j ears since it raged in the United States,
though it has visited us two or thrco times
since. It is now spreading two ways from
tho Sooloo islands, an archipoligo near
Borneo, where it was first noticed, and
lias reached Egypt on the ono side and
Japan on the other. It is to be hoped
that tho more thorough knowledge of
mcdicino and sanitary scionco now
possessed will prevent the ravages which
took p'aco upon its first appearance.
They have worse luck launching vessels
in England than they do here, notwith
standing the prophecies of the New York
Hun. Tuesday afternoon the new steamer,
Daphne, was to be launched in tho Clyde
river at Glasoow and a number of persons
were on board the steamer when she left
her ways. Tho incline was steep and ihe
current strong and as she went into the
water she rolled from side to side nnd
finally turned completely over. Boats
were immediately put out to rescue those
in the water andtflorts made to recover
tho bodies of those drowned. Forty-one
bodies had been fmind by night when the
darkness put a stop to further work. The
divers say that many more bodies are
aro still in the ship. It is thought
that one reason which raused the over
turn was that tho steamer ttna built too
lop-heavy.
The editor of the British Medical Jour
nal has made a tour of Inspection in Don
egal Ireland, as a physician, and found
fourtoeu thousand persons living on two
cents' worth of Indian meal a day, the
money having been sent from tho United
States, and being distributed by tho parish
priests.
Tho new tariff went into operation on
Sunday, and it is expected that the wool
market will soon be more active. While
some of the wool growers have ascribed
tho dullness of the market to the reduction
of the duties by the new tariff it takes
off the ad valorem duties on clothing
wools Senator Morrill, than whom
there is no better authority, says that
there has been an overproduction of
woolen manufactures, and that conse
quently the mills are doing little at pres
ent. They aro waiting for consumption
to take the plaoo of supply. Another
reason for the low price of wool, the
senator says, is tho immense production
of wool in California and Texas, which
states are now competitors with Ohio and
Vermont in tho wool markets of the
country. A few weeks ago Senator
Sherman, presumably with an eye to
politics in Ohio, took occasii n to animad
vert upon Senator Morrill's course in
regard to the lowering of tho tariff on
wool. Mr. Morrill in a published inter
view effectually answers Mr. Sherman's
criticisms, and proves, what everyone in
Vermont well knows, that in mattors of
political economy Mr. Morrill is easily
the first authority in tho country. If
Senator Sherman thinks that n little
buncombe for home consumption is neo
essary to his political welfare in Vermont,
ho had better tackle some less formidable
opponent than Mr. Morrill. Ho was
"knocked out in ono round."
Keep The JUscals Out. Tho New
York Sun, tho braws of the democratic
party, raises in big block ifpo the rallying
cry of that party for 1884, ' Turn the
rascals out!" It is a good cry: but Ihe
Sun may find that Its application is fatal
to the democrats. Tho Boston Herald
puts the case finely, as follows:
To tho cry, "Turn the rascals out," the
reply will surely be made, "Keep the
rascals out." How would the democratic
leaders enjoy a campaign on this line?
The democratic party is the party of
Swartout and Tweed. "Keep the rascals
out." The last democratic cabinet and
tho last democratic collector at New York
stole more than nil their successors for
nearly twenty years. "Keep tho rascals
out." The democratic stato of Tennessee
has had three defaulting treasurers in
succession. "Keep tho rascals out." A
full proportion of tho votes cast in con
gress for tho river and harbor jobs have
been democratic. "Keep the rascals out."
Eight of the jury that acquitted the star
route thieves wore democrats. "Keep
the rascals out." The democratic mayor
of Albany has just resigned to prevent a
trial that would nave exposea the gross
frauds by which democrats seated him.
"Keep tho rascals out." The union league
club of Chicago has just discovered
incontestable proof that the worst kind of
ballot box stuffing was resorted to to re
elect the democratic Mayor Harrison,
who has nullified a law of tho legislature
to pay his debt to the rummies and crim
inals who supported them. "Keep the
rascals out." Elections in more than half
the southern states have been turned inlo
farces, and the I ighls of majorities openly
trampled under foot to insure democratic
jscendency. "O, keep the rascals out."
Tho udjournoil hearing before tbo su
preme court on the petition of the Central
Vermont to conne,l the Montpelier and
Wells Uiver road to connect and operate
with them was held at Burlington Friday.
The court took the papers nnd announced
tho decision Monday.
Tho full text of tho decision is as

Tho business of the House has made
little progres, exoept the oorrupt practioe't
bill, which has been cleverly and patiently
conducted by the attorney-general past
the most knotty points. The withdrawal
of the criminal oode hill, due to systematic
obstruction in the grand committee, is a
success over which tho confessed obstruct
ives like Lord Randolph Churebill openly
exult. Predictions of the break down of
the committee system abound, and It is
understood that Mr. Paruell regards the
committees as furnishing a more favorable
field for obstructive tactics than the House
Itself, but the ministers are not in the least
inclined to abandon them. Mr. Chamber
lain is confident that he can carry both the
bankruptcy and patent bills through com.
mittce in reasonable time.
The bill for making marriage with a
deceased wife's sister legal, passed the
second roading in the House of Lords on
Monday night by the close majority of
seven. The subjeet of the bill has been a
bono of contention for many a year, chiefly
with the clergy. It seems strange why
the clerical opponents to the measure
should be so tioroe. One of the most
potent arguments of those who oppose the
bill was that it would tempt husbands to
be unfaithful, and what was worse would
in somo cases induce them to treat their
wives badly, and even to take their lives
that they might marry a more youthful or
attractive sister. The clergy, If they
understood real life a little better, would
know that a man whose evil passions
induced him to desert his wife in favor of
her sister would not be controlled by law,
Such men make laws of their own, or
rather they ignore all laws to gratify base
desires. Even upon degree of affinity the
present laws cannot be defended. Tho
channel tunnel is meeting with tho deter
mined opposition in high quarters. The
duke of Cambridge has given a most
decided opinion against it. The dukes
somotimes quizzed for certain peculiarities,
and for his dislike to reviewing troops in
a thunder shower; but, when it comes to
practical subjects of importance to the
nation, the duke is, in popular phriso, "all
there."
The reasons, aiong others set forth by
tho duke, aro that he considered that there
would have to be a general reorganization
of the army, including the reserves, in the
event of this tunnel being sanctioned and
complete because, as they stood now, they1
would not be able to meet the dangers
which lie thought would exist. He based
his objection to tho tunnel entirely on
military grounds, and he considered it
would be a new clement of danger to the
safety and security of this country. It
would be possible for France to send an
army to invade this country without our
being previously apprised of it. The close
of tho trial of the prisoners concerned in
the dynamite conspiracy has resulted in
the conviction and sentence to penal
servitude fir life of the four chief offenders.
The feeling in Ireland Is still far from
satisfactory, as may bo seen by tbo letter
of Mr. Field, who it will be remembered,
was nearly killed for the simple crime of
obeying tho law and taking his seat in the
jury box. Mr. Field says ho will be com
pelled to sacrifice everything and to give
up his business and come to England, for
not only his own life is in danger, but
the people employed by him are exposed
to conslant insult and menace. Mr.
Labouclx re's difference with Mr. Bishop,
the eminent American thought reader, has
assumed large dimensions, and occupies
no small share of public attention. Mr.
Labouchere has not paid over this thous
and pounds to charity, and is not likely to
do so, but devotes a large proportion of
the p.iges of Truth to calling his opponent
a knave, and abusing him and everybody
who sustained him at St. James Hall. He
makes out a good case, but the strong
sporting instinct of the public leads it to
regard the wager as lost technically and
otherwise; and it sympathizes with the
American : The completion of Mr. John
Bl ight's 25th year as a member of parlia
ment for Birmingham has been celebrated
in that town this week by a series of
public gatherings and rejoicings. The
crowning incident in these proceedings
was a great demonstration held on Wed
nesday night in Bingley-haU, presided
over by Mr. Geo. Dixon, and attended by
Mr. Cbamberlin, M. P., several other
members of parliament, and upwards of
20,000 persons, appropriate addresses to
Mr. Bright were presented at his demon
stration from the Birmingham liberal
association and 100 other societies through

Sir Alexander Gait of Montreal, in a
recent interview, says the right of Canada
to make her commercial treaties has been
practically conceded by England. In
regard to tho question of Canadian inde
pendence, he thinks it is not only a dead
Issue, but has never been a live one.
Referring to tho immigration question,
Sir Alexander said he had always been
extremely particular in selecting for
assisted passages only people that had the
physical force to till the positions. Under
no" circumstances would ho accept a
pauper or one who had been in tho work

Joseph, a passenger jnst arrived from
Capo Town, gives a shooting account of
failures in the diamond fields at Capo

suicides of leading men caused by com
mercial depression. Most horrible stories
of starvation come from the copper region
especially from the neighborhood of the
great Mannculand mines. Among the
persons who committed Buicide was
Herman Wiligoriot who blew out his
brains. Most of the colonists are returning
to Europe. Tho small pox epidemic last
year in the colony grcatlj damaged its
business interests, and supplementing
this by luck of rain and by the diamond

London Letter.
London, June 20th, 1883.
Numerous are tho attractions now
being offered to tho', sight seeing public at
South Kensington, there is, perhaps, no
department of the fit beries exhibition more
fall of interest than that which the'exkibit
ors of tho celestial empire have created
in their galleries for the astonishment and
delight of icthylogists. An original way
of capturiag fish is that pursued by what
are knows at Swatow ns "slipper boats."
Those crafts are 25 feet long, and 16 inch
es wide, and they fish iu couples moored
side by side on bright moonlight nights,
tb sir only implement of capturing being a
white board fastened along the outer side
of each. This board catches the bright
ra.ps of the moon, and fish, who would
seiim to be of a confiding disposition in that
portion of the empire, are Buid to mistake
it llbr water, and to leap from their native
element into the slipper boats in large
numbers. Innumerable devices of this
ch iraoter peculiar to the country are here
on show in the Chinese annex. This
would seem to be a branch of tho industry
naturally commending itself to tho minds
of :l people wlio ar6 universally credited
with a more than ordinary amount of
cunning. Their fish traps aro, moreover,
manifold and varied, and of tho highest
workmanship and utility. In the British!
Isles this is a means of taking fish practi
callv unknown and unpructiced, with the
exception of the stereotyped eel and lobs
ter pots; but the Chinese devote thomsel
ves largely to these strategic methods of
fishing, and with an unvarying success
that, nothing bat the boundless fertility of
their rivers and seas could explain or
withstand. The day will perhaps come
whe n western ideas will penetrate sulfl-
cien tly there to insure the suppression of
wholesale fish poisoning and such like
fatal poaching arrangements for tho cap
ture of small fry as are rather too candidly
exhibited here; but at present we can only
admire, perhaps with a tinge of dejection,
the hundred and one devices employed in
a country where, though every form of
unsportsmanlike destruction is rampant,
the fish supply seems to remain as abuu
dant and accessible as ever.
Cormorants are another moans employed
by the Chinese on lakes and the shallower
sheets of water for taking fish. This
aquatic species of hawking is of very old
date, and was known and practiced in
England, whither it was doubtless im
ported from the east, two centuries ago,
but it Is followed witli success only by
the Chinese. The birds, which have to
undergo a regular training, are taken out
in a boat, and before tho work commences
a strap or ring is placed round each cor
morant s throat sulliciently tight to pre
vent its swallowing any fish it may catch
in its strongly hooked beak, but not so
tight as to prevent respiration. The
dark-winged fishermen then go off and
cater for their master with bucccss and
regularity, being rewarded with an
occasional fish, which they arc permitted
to swallow when the strap has been
removed. Above all things the Chinese
aro h frugal nation, making use of sub
stances that would meet with culinary
contempt in any other country. The dis
carded shark represents to them a valua
ble form of food. The fins go to form the
well known soup, or are used in the prep
aration of gelatine; while tho skin, after
being prepared and cleaned, serves for
covering sword handles and for various
other ornamental purposes. Kven the
cuttlefish, a creature repulsive to fisher
men of most other nations, is the object of
oareful pursuit with nets and lines by the
Chincso at a lime when other work is
slack; and carefully dried nnd packed in
bales, commands a ready sale all through
the flowery land. The oyster also, and
its pearl-bearing kindred, tho Chinese
mussel, are not merely looked upon as
dainties. Though cultivated with skill
and science ns such in the first place,
their refuso sheila aro burnt for limo, and
while still living they are induced to
secreto the hard white substance which is
so highly valued for its beauty and
scarcity all over the world. Some of the
shells containing artificially constructed
pearls aro shown here in ono of the cases
and though they are novelty to the divers
alike of China, Ceylon and Panama, they
will doubtless be new to many. It will
observed that soma of them are In the
shape of quaint little images adberibg fast
to the shell. These metallic images have
been inserted while the mussel lived, ana
finding itself 111 at ease with this encuni
berance, which it has been unable to
eject, the bivalve has adopted tho process
which is the cause of all pearls, and has
silently covered the irritating foreign
substance with layer after layer of the
white material known in the perfect form
of pearl.

body cut completely in two. There were
about 250 passengers, none of whom M ere

of the engineer who, instead of jumping
from the engine aflei the train lelt the
main track, occupied himself during the
run of 75 yards lo the scene of the collision
in reversing the engine anil putting on the

the oarelessness of the section muster, who
was repairing the switch at the lime. He

wages for a fair day's work ; that ho ought
to be able not only to procure for himself
and his lamily the necessities of life, but to
procure means to educate them, nnd to
advance In the social scale and make
better citizens out of themselves; that the
laboring men of this country ought not to
be required to work in competition with
tlie workmen ol other countries who arc
ground down by bad government: that
this country ought to bo independent in
all products within its capability. The
wisdom of this policy by the republican
party is attested by tho unexampled
prosperity all the tinij it has been in

Another very characteristic tragedy is
reported from the south, this time the
scene being laid in Alabama, Two Halls
and Mullcnscs were wealthy and promi
nent citizens of Colllnsvillc, Alabama, and
they owned adjoining property. In the
course of time a dispute arose regarding
the boundary a dispute which at the
north would bo settled by tho arbitrament
of a petit jury at a cost to the litigants of
about one hundred times the valuu of Ihe
property in controversy. At. the south.
however, they do things differently. Tom
Half built a fence which the Mullenses
maintained was improperly located, and
they threatened to remove it. The threat
coming to the eats of Mr. Hall he simply
remarked that he would kill the man who
touched the fence, and Ihe event proved
that ho possossed at least the virtue ot
veracity. M' Bob Mullens undertook to
romovo the fence and was promptly shoi
dead by Mr. Hall. Mr. John .Mullens
name to his brother's assistance and he too
was shot. Death, however, was noi
nstantancous and Mullens drew bis
revolver and 6hot Hall, killing him
instantly. At this untimely moment
Hall's father approached the scene of
action an ill-advised course of action
which he no doubt rrreatlv regretted, for
the dying Mullens promptly shot him and
no leu uead in his tracks. Having thus
avenged bis brother's murder and exter

The inconvenience of having an element
in tho currency which is not legal tender,
but limy bo refused by anybody, is clearly
shown by the present situation of the
trade dollar. The trade dollar is worth
more intrinsically than the standard
silver dollar and would circulate just as
well, if the law required it lo be taken
for a dollar. This is the clement of truth
in what used to be called tho "Hat theory."
Tho trade dollar was coined originally to
oblige the silver interest by giving tlieru
a coin which would circulate iifciiin.'i
and Japan in preference to t he Mexican
dollar. But when specie retnrneil in
circulation in tho United States, the trades
flowed back here. Congress lo escape the
anomaly ot authorizing two dollars of
diHercnt intrinsic values lo In; legal
tender for the samo amount, withdrew
the legal tender quality of the trade. Borne
years ago, since which it has been an
outcast, passing readily for a dollar, il
people were willing to take it, hut liable
to be refused. Refusal has become so
frequent that n movement has set in at
New Yoak lo refuse trades entirely. The
marketmen, street railroads and other
largo interests havo refused to tiike them,
and employes refused lo be paid oil' in
them. This movement will reduce the
trade dollar at once to its intrinsic value,
which is about 90 cents. The loss must
fall on the holders, whoever they are.
Congress will probably bo appealed to to
redeem them, or else to entlow them
again with legal tender quality. Tho
volume of tho silvor dollar coinage is so
largo that this is inadvisable; the best
way for the public, as they now stand, is
lo refuse them.
Farmers are a little excited about
haying, as it is near at hand ; also, over

Winter and spring grain never looked

of future empire, the dream of the destiny
of an unbroken union touched and kindled

For 60 years, with reiteration mora fro

All of tho bathers however had enough
apparel left to got homo without undue
exposure except the tall young man whose
only remaining raiment was a collar and
a pair of shoes'. But as luck would have
It he found near tho river nn empty
barrel, out of which he knocked the heads
nnd into which ho stepped, nnd thus
apparelled he made his way homo across
Ihe fields, painfully holding up the barrel
as ho walked, but dropping and sinking
inlo it whenever any one appeared in
sight. Before he reached the paternal
mansion half tho dogs in town had
detected bis predicament and united to
form a howling esoort. It is thought that
Mr. Van Voast' a method of abolishing
Sunday bathing will be successful.
