dent of the Fort Wayne Schools, and several other leading educators were present The cause of education, and the means necessary lo advance the Fame, were discussed, and the establishment of a system of University education, embracing the Perdue University, the State University at Blooraington, and a central institution, with several departments, to be founded at the State Capital, was also under consideration. As a result of the meeting, additional legislation in the educational interests of the State will probably be. aaked for this winter.

TnE New York Evening Mail gives a few lines on the subject of short-hand reporting which are of sufficient importance to be generally circulated. Some idea of the work of ashort-hand reporter maybe inferred from the fact that they write from 100 to 200 words per minute. By rule of one society, no person can bccome a member unlesr, able to report 17o words per minute and read his notes readily and correctly. Some reporters are faster than thin, but few are able to keep up this ter rible rate any great length of lime, one occasion a gentleman reported a speech of one hour and forty-five minutes. The speech was extemporaneous and contained 18,900 words, spoken at the rate of ilSO words per minute, although at limes-the speaker would talk at the rate of 225 per minute. Very few reporters in the wor can do '-his, continuing their work with out interruption for so long a lime, set in type the same as ordinary editorial matter, the speech would make near fifteen and a half column:!. One can judge from the above that to report cor rectly is no ea-y matter, and to repor rapidly a person has not much time for other business. About one student out fifty who dare attempt this difficult .sci ence becomes an expert, and then only after severe study, long application and years of experience.

HENRYUnity WARD BEECHEK

York, Mr.

told

the assembly how hierarchies are formed as follows: "I say ministers are just as good citi izens, if you let them be commoa demo cratic citizens but the moment you make a class of them you spoil them. The mo ment you say to Ihetn, 'There are the people—there arc the men of God,' that very moment you have made a hierarchy and made a class, and now if they feel the impulse of that class, if ihey adhc to all the class instincts among them selves, with class ambitions and feelings then they become—not because they ministers, but because they are banded together—they become the worst man agers of all public or political uHairs."

English Reaction against Free Trade A lute number of Cazse'l's Magazine. published in London, says: "The old quarrel between Free Trade and Protec tion, which many sanguine people fan cied was sunk in the depths of oblivion has once more risen to the surface. It

not a topic to be dismissed in a paragraph but it is worth while to observe that the relation between ourselves and the con tinent has vastly altered since the last generation in all matters of manufacturing skill. The peculiar pursuits which lvng lishmen then followed so skillfully were almost unknown to the continent implements of iron were of tha worst descrip tion—a German gimblet doubled up in a hard piece of wood. In many places, the natives had never seen a barrow, and a string of peasant women were employed to drag, in small wagons with diminutive wheels, the "'dirt'' which our navvies "shifted" on the French railway. In those days, therefore, it was felt that, with cheap beef and bread, we could un der-sell the world. All this is altered now. There are vast hives of manufacturing industry in France, Germany and Belgium. The forest of tall chimneys in the northeastern part of Paris forcibly teaches us that the French capitol is ho longer celebrated only for ormolu clocks and elegant knick-knacks. Doors and window-sashes are imported ready-made from Sweden workmen's tools are brought from Liege, and sold cheaper than those made in Sheffield, while French made locomotive engines (this tact would have astonished George Stephenson) are actually running on English railways. It is not to be wondered at, then,that our workingmen desire a thorough investigation into the alleged Free Trade system now prevailing in this country.

Homeopalhists of Oiwego, New

BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOII.

My only recollection of Demosthenes is his attempting (o speak apiece at a dis-trict-school exhibition when he was a boy, and breaking down, Ic was reciting the familiar lines: "You'd searce expeet one of my ago

To Epeak in public. oft the aUge ._ If I should chance to fall below Demosthenes or" At this point he hesitated, put the corner of lii.s apron to his eye, burst into tears and sat down, totally overcome by the allusion to himself and by the novelty of the situation. Cicero, who was a lad at the tame school, made fnn of Demosthenes, asking him, derisively, if he hadn't better go and hire out for an orator!

The last time I met Socrates he was oh his way to take tea—hemlock: tea, I think—with the sheriff of his county.— He recognized me, gave me a little hemlock bough and passed on. We boya felt very bad when we heard they had soe'd it to old Socrates, for we liked him.

I was with Julius Coesar when he passed the Eubicon. He held a good hand, and I told him he had better order it up, but he passed. The result is well known he lost the game.

Alexander the Great and myself -fere schoolmates. We were brought up little girls together. He used to amuse himself, I remember, by smashing up all the globes there were in school and then sit down and cry because there were no more worlds to conquer. I happened to be with him when he cut the Gordian Knot.— Many others had tried in vain to do it. It wa3 "knot for Jo." Smart Aleck came along and cut it the first lime trying, with a patent corn-cutter.

Nero had one of the most sensitive or* ganizations I ever knew, and keenly sympathized with human woes. I have seen him sit in tha amphitheater at Home and weep bitterly when captives were torn ia pieces by wild blasts. It is a base slander to say he fiddled while Eome was burning He belonged to a fire-engine company, afid I saw him working at the breaks myself. Some one saw him as he helped io break'er down, and in the excitement of the moment thought he was fiddling, and so reported.

I knew Shakespeare as long ago as when he tended store for the Merchant of Venice and sold the Prints of Denmark by the yard. He was an honest lad with the yard-stick, giving Measure for Measure, He always wanted to be an actor and was perpetually quoting Shakespeare to customers. People used to leer at him for it I have even seen the King Lear. Shakespeare only laughed, and said they were making Much Ado About Nothing, adding, "you can have it As You Like it."

He was fond of the ladies, and popular scandal associating his name with certain Merry Wives of Windsor, his employer raised such a Tempest about his ears that he ran away and joined a variety company. He made his debut as first grave* digger in Othello. lie was the first grave-digger I ever saw, and Richard the Third—McKean Buchanan came forth, I think, shortly after. Othello was a tragedy until Buchanan made such a perfect farce of it.

Shakespeare was a /ailure as an actor. I assisted him all I could,but he couldn't speak the speech as I pronounced it to him, trippingly on the tongue, although he tripped often enough on his feet. He sawed the air too much with his hand (saw) I bus while in the torrent, tempest, and, I beg leave to add, whirlwind of his passion he neglected to form and beget a temperance that would give it smoothness. No, William wasn't a temperance man. He never signed the pledge and got a medr.l (with other people's business).

Failing as an actor Shakespeare took to adapting lioticicatilt's plays, translating them from the original Choctaw, and soon found himself on the road to fame uid fortune. His plays have had a great run. I have seen them when they run everybody out of the theater. The least meritorious of Shakespeare's plays was his play upon words. He often used to tell ma that he envied me my talent that particular.

Diogenes was one of the most eccentric men 1 ever knew. Ilis mother was washerwoman and he lived in her tub, except on wash days, when she had to use it too make a living for him. Althougl he gets a good deal of credit nowadays lor having lived in a tub, he didn't at the time of it. The neighbors used to call him a lazy, shiftless fellow, lolling around in a tub, talking philosophy to a lot other good-for-nothings instead of work ing for a living.

A good.deal has been said about his going around the streets of Athens with a lantern "to find a man." I saw him at he time. He wanted to find a man that would stand treat. The greatest remark of his that has been preserved, was when he said: "If I could live Alexander the Great, I had rather Zi-ogenesI"

Columbus was a mild, sweet-disposit ioned, hut exceedingly thoughtful boy, as I remember him at school. When boys were out playing, he would sit and weep for hours over die incompleteness of the maps of the period. He felt as though something was wanting. He wasn't satisfied with three quarters of a globe, such as was employed in the schools at that time. He pined for the other quarter, I recollect his borrowing a quarter of me on two or three occasions.

He used to tell us we were a continent out, somewhere, and that when he got big enough he meant to run away from home go on the canal and discover it, but we only laughed at him, little thinking he would yet give his name to the State cap ilal of Ohio.

I lost all traces of Christopher until years afterward, when the telegraph brought the announcement of his having discovered America, which, up to that time, had successfully eluded the most persistent efforts of our best discoverers. —Cm. Times.

THE

Chicago Post says: "The conduct

of such journals as the Chicago Tribune, in opposing and ridiculing the appointment of a commission to investigate exhaustively the San Domingo annexation movement, is quite inexplicable, in view of the fact that scandalous reports of all sorts are nlloat, making such an official examination not only desirable but necessary. There have been fabricated many impossible rumors both favorable and adverse to Dominican absorption, and these ought to be thoroughly exposed. A fair specimen of them is the absurd lie that recently traveled about, that certain lots of real estate along the Bay of Samana had been set apart and marked off on the stakes 'Grant,' 'Babcock,' 'Fish,' 'Morton,' etc." This story has had its run on the strength of a patched-up "interview with" a bogus "San Domingo merchant," whose woful ignorance of the commonest matters in the alleged conversation, betrayed theimposture. No wonder the fabricators of these and other fictions have a horror of any attempt to get authentic information on the subject.

New York Sun, hostile as it is to

the Administration, has the grace to say: "Mr. Motley never was fit for the English mission. On the contrary, he was totally unfit for it and the point of the whole correspondence now published is that the last paper emanualing from the State Department ilatly and plainSy tells him so. The statements made in that paper are very damaging to Mr. Motley, because they are so fortified in their details as to be seen to be perfectly iroe. Mr. Motley might have escaped this cuttiag reply if he had had sense enough to say nothing after he was asked to resign. But his vanity beclouded his perceptions when he sought tlieplace, and it continued to becloud them to the end."

CONCENTRATION OF BARGAINS!

Ever hvard of in Terrt Haute.

Tbe paat history of our Store, although marked almost weekly by some great surprise to our customers, nevertheless does not furnish any parallel to the extraordinary inducements with which w« inaugurate the new year.

OUR NEW YEARS GREETING

As we glance back over the work accomplished ia seven short months, we are sure our customers trill not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Hrute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this atem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of good* sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced store*, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for our discomfiture. We were not even sure that this opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced store* took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.

OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN "UNPARALLELED!

At one bound our store took its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and encouraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all biddingy us go forward ana never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy and hearty good will of the great masses of the people.

Anew and still greater reduction in our prices is
