WABASH AMD CO EDUCATION Commenting oil the appropriation made by the Commissioners of county to Wabash College, the ette Call Bays:
this
IjHftlV-
The gift was made on condition that oo-eduoation'be introduced, BO that the backwardness of contributors to Wabash college may, after all, prove a good thing for the institution, as it will undoubtedly be greatly benefitted by coming to the front ranks with modern colleges which have long since ceased to •hut the doors upon women, believing that she is as able to
pursue
cuniculmi as
the college
her
brother, but that the
American youth of to-duy are worthy of being trusted together in the same institution of learning. By the time young folks reach young manhood and womanhood, and are capable of attending college or university, they are, in the majority of cases, in no more danger of getting into trouble from association in the school room than if they were in their own towns. On the contrary much mutual culture is gained where well regulated co-education exists which would be an impossibility were the outof date boys'schools to supplant modern methods, and the poor girl be relegated to the rear with her old maid governess or forced to undergo the dangers of a second
rate
female semi
nary. The Call understood that the whole 810,000 was given conditionally. Four thousand dollars was given unconditionally while six thousand dollars is given on the condition's namel
THE NEW CHAIB
The longest felt want which has been filled in this section of the StBte in the last generation is the Chair of History -—tiflA SilBlfilogy just established in Wabash College. The step is an important one and one which will redound to the credit of the institution. The importance of the study of history cannot be overrated and its absence has long been a drawback with which the college has had to contend The power to grssp and appreciate many other studies depends primarily upon a knowledge of history and the fact that Wabash has heretofore lacked a chair for instruction in this branch has driven scores of students to other institutions more favored in this one but very important parti :ular. The selection of Dr. Tuttle, of
Amherst, to fill the position IB step of as decidedly a congratulatory nature ae the establishment of the chair. He is young man but a famous one already. He is a warm personal friend of Dr. Burroughs and to this fact more than Bny one other thing is Wabash indebted for his acceptance. The dawn of anew era at Wabash College iB here already.
THE Philadelphia Hecord, one of the moat nrdeot and aggreesive supporters of Cleveland, has a tariff (or revenue only scheme modeled after the British plan, which it is advacating very energetically. This scheme proposes to reimpose taxes on the following articles, which Republican legislation has freeliBted: Sugar, tax cents per pound coffee, 2 cents per pound tea, 5 cents per pound. The Hecord estimates that these taxes will raise eighty millions annually and afford the Democrats the op portunity to strike off nearly all the protective duties.
TnK Christmas gift took its rise in charity and has developed into a gene rosity it took its rise in humble necessityy, and has developed into eager gratuity.
CIIMSTMAS trade, which is now at high tide in thiH city, is the merchandise of the affections.

Dr. 0. A. Tuttle's Tariff ViewB. Dr. Chna. A. Tuttle, the newly elected professor of Political Economy and Sociology, is delayed somewhat in giving Dr. Burroughs a final answer in regard to his acceptance o- account of the serious illness of his wife's mother. Dr. Tuttle has been married two years Naturally there is some speculation as to hiB views on the tariff. It can be said that he teaches this subject from an historical point of view, taking up the history of tariff legislation and experience both in this country and Eu rope. He is not a theorist by any meanB, nor yet a high protectionist. As Dr. Burroughs has before expressed Wabash Collage will be the exponent no political dogma but will endeavor lay all the facts before the Btudents and let tbem draw their own conclusions. Dr. Burroughs is confident that Dr. Tuttle will carry out this idea. Mis studies in Europe in both political oconomy and sociology were pursued in the historical spirit, naturally leading him to reject all theories not proven to be correct by experience.
Surprise Party.
Last night about 40 of the friends of Mrs. Minerva Whittaker tendered her a pleasant surprise party at her home, the occasion being her 60th birthday. Oysters and other refreshments were Berved. Mrs. Whittaker was presented with some elegant silverware and other gifts by her sons. The affair was very enjoyable.

FIRE IN A 0HUR0H.
The OhrtBtian Ohuroh Narrowly Escapes Destruction by fire. Last evening Beece MoGillard, janitor ot the Christian church, built up afire in the furnaoe of the ohuroh and went to supper. When he returned the building was full of smoke and a hole had been burned in the floor just over the furnace. The alarm of fire brought out the department and in half an hour the building was safe, although considerably damaged by smoke and water. The carpets and seats were wet and the ceilings smoked but the damage is not as heavy as it was thought last night. J. M. Shultz has it insured for SI 0,000 in the Northwest National, the Peoria, the Kochestor and the New Hampshire. The loss is fully covered. The fire originated in the intense heat from the furnuue, which fired the timbers above it. It is said the cold air draught was not turned on and this hastened combustion. Kepairs can be made quickly.

Thou brown, bare breasted, voiceless mystery. Hot sphinx of nature, cactus crowned, what hast thou done? Unclothed and mute as when the groans of chaos turned Thy naked burnkig bosom to the sun The mountain silences have speech, the rivers sitjg Thou answerest never unto anything. Pink throated lizards pant in thy slim shade Tho horned load runs rustling in the heat The shadowy gray coyote, born afraid. Steals to some brackish spring and laps and prowls Away, and howls and howls and howls and bowls Until the solitude is ehakened with an added lonelinfsii. .Thy sharp metcal shoots up a giant stalk, lis century of yearning, to the sunburnt skies. And drips rare honey from tho lips Of yellow waxen flowers and dies. Some lengthwise sun dried shapes with feet and hau'is,
And thirsty mouths pressed on the sweltering sands, Mark here and there a grewsome graveless spot VThere some one drank thy scorching hotness. and is uot. God must have made thee in his anger and forgot. —Madge Morris,
