These "sciences" are to be taught to young ladies and after establishing a reputation for these accomplishments they will be entitled to receive a regular diploma, with the honorary degree of "F. F.

Boston

is not irreconcilable. The

Traveller, of that city, says: "Considering the peculiar nature of the post, we are somewhat surprised that Mr. Sumner should have desired to hold it after lie had ceased to be in accord with the Ad' ministration. He would have done well had he thrown it up months ago, and in that way have relieved himself from position which to hold must have been the reverse of agreeable to him, while in a certain sense it restricted the use of his powers as a Senator. Like most great men, Mr. Sumner is desirous of honorable and enduring fame, and to achieve that it is not necessary that he should be Perpet ual Chairman of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations."

If the state reverts temporarily to

well. its former political delusions, never the less Dartmouth College returns to good sense. Harvard may take the lead in regard to the elective system, and Yale in establishing her scientific school Cornell and Michigan Universities may ..Justly claim that their young life waked up their elders but Dartmouth has also marked out her high path to honor.

Henceforth the Dartmouth triennial catalogue will be printed in English! Illinois

has a sensible Governor, and

among his most sensible performances is the veto of an act to authorize the city of Quincy to subscribe the sum of five hun "*dred thousand dollars in aid of the Quin cy, Missouri and Pacific Railroad Company—a concern in the State of Missouri —and to borrow money for the purpose.

The legal effect, says Gov. Palmer, of the bill, "is to authorize the City Council of the City of Quincy to raise by taxation, upon the property within that city, five hundred thousand dollars, to be paid over to an incorporation created by the State of Missouri, to be expended in the construction of a railway in that State." The Governor proceeds, with great clearness, to point out the several provisions of the Constitution with which the bill is in conflict, enlarging npon the proposition that 'the purpose for which it is proposed to impose this burden upon the inhabitants of Quincy is not public, when tested by the Constitution of the State of Illinois, or by the rules by which the true character of a tax is determined."

Two reporters of the New York Tribune, in the guise of countrymen, bent on "seeing life," but at the same time aided by the experiences and felicities of tbeir real occupation, have been privately investigating the genteel d.-ns of Vice and robbery into which men are inveigled by loose woman robbed by their accomplices. In their report they give the facts »g to names and locations explicitly and minutely, and show beyond a question that the^e dens exist, not only by the connivance, but wiih the positive assistance of the police, who share in the ill-gotten gains.

The

Madison Courier does not believe

that the Legislature purposely made the School Fund distribution law defective "in order to give the Democratic Auditor the control of the large surplus Ijplonging to the School fund for the next two years. This is hardly probable. The General Assembly was composed mainly of honest men, who were anxious to do right but did not know how. The shrewd managers outside coated their little bills with Democratic fallicies and controlled their action. They were but 'clay in the hands of the potters.' The majority were very honest folk—'innocents abroad.' 'It would have .been better for themselves and the commonwealth, had they taken their wives and mothers with them to Indianapolis. We have large faith women influence over a Democratic Leg ielature."

FACING DEATH IN THE CLOUDS

The Bursting of the Balloon Hype ion at the Altitude of a MileThe Most Remarkable of Voyages in the Air.

Prof. S A. King, the aeronaut, adver tised that lie would make an ascension from Atlanta on the 1st of January, 1870. Eight thousand persons assembled to wit ness it, but a sleet storm was coming np, and Prof. King would not risk an ascent. H« offered to return the money, and act' ed fairly in every way. Dr. Albert Hnpe who had already made one ascent, step ped up to Prof. King,and said: "The peo'

le terribly disappointed. I have up you once, and you know whether you can trust me. If you'll lend mc the old chebang, I'll take her up, storm or no storm." "Very well," re plied King, "I know your coolness and presence of mind. You may go if you want to."

You had better take in some more bal last," said King, as Dr. Hape stepped in to the basket. Instead of taking more ballast, the Doctor threw out two bags of sand already in it, and cut the ropes. He made the first mile upward in two min utes and a half. The descent was complished in one minute. Round trip of two miles, three minute? and a half. Here is the Doctor's own account of the journey:

The small amount of ballast carried gave such great ascensive power that it required but two minutes and a half to reach an altitude of one mile. The cheers from the crowd below could no longe be heard. All was silent except the spiteful driving of the winter .rain was well aware of the great rapidity with which I was traveling, but as the neck of the balloon was twenty-five inches diameter, and entirely open, no danger was apprehended. The sides gave evidence of being tense, and the possibility of an explosion was not thought of.

A heavy sleet and snow commenced falling, and it was so intensely cold that I was anxious to get through the clouds and into the bright sunshine beyond Already .imagination pictured the little craft as sailing smoothly above the bad weather, and my heart swelled with enthusiasm as fancy painted the beauties of a winter sunset—a sunset above the clouds. I had decided- to remain up all night, and to prolong the voyage as far as possible.

I was awakened from my revery by sharp explosion. The balloon had burst near the point of its greatest diameter, and had collapsed. It began to descend with great rapidity. Its peculiar shape gave it a rotary motion that was rather unpleasant. I fully realized the danger of my situation. Death was inevitable, unless I could succeed in forming the wreck into a parachute, and to do this required much physical strength and perfect coolness. The loss of self-posses sion or a neglect to preserve the oscillat ing motion of ray craft would be attended with loss of life. However, I "knew the ropes," and determined to pull them.

It was necessary that the rotten cloth should be not only, retained in the nettings but kept in such a position as to offer the greatest possible resistance to the atmos phere. My craft proved to be unruly, It soon plunged violently, with the pecul iar motion of a kite that has lost its ballast. At each lunge it swung through the air like a great pendulum. I soon attained a terrible velocity, being fre quently thrown higher than any flutter ing portion of the wreck, and I was several times thrown entirely out of the basket.

Like Micawber, I "confidently expect ed something would turn up"—in fact there was danger of the basket "turnin up" on top of the canvas, which woul result in instant death. "By a strict at tention to business" these mad lunges were modified, and the velocity was more uniform though still very rapid.

I now decided to throw out a portion or all, of the ballast, and lifted a bag to the edge of the basket for that purpose, when the thought occurred that it would be less dangerous to keep it in the basket I threw out a letter, and by watching it as it fluttered in the air, was enabled to tell where the wreck would strike. To throw out ballast at this time would pro long the voyage to the woods beyond even if it did not cause the basket and contents to be thrown on top of the wreck, Taking this view, it was decided to retain all the weight in the basket {hat I possi bly could

When within three hundred Jeet of the ground I cut the cord attached to the anchor rope, and watching the "rise and descent," managed to throw at the proper moment. It struck in time to lessen the force with which I would have otherwise struck the ground. As it was, the shock produced unconsciousness.

On awakening there was no sensation of pain save numbness, that always attends a heavy fall. The cold rain was falling in my face, and I could not lift my head for the long briers that encircled me with a perfect network. Near by stood a lady. After gazing at her & moment. I bowed my compliments, and wished her "a happy New Year. She smiled and inquired whether I was hurt. "No, ma'am." To convince her of the fact I arose, and after securing a peculiar black bottle, stepped forth.

The "Hyperion" presented a sorry spectacle. Ropes, netting, and fragments of rotten cloth, it lay among the Itushes and briers an utter wreck. With the exception of a few slight scratches I had received no injury. The loss of a paper collar and a few "incidentals" was all that needed attention. All wants were supplied, and in a few minntes I was again with my friends.

"What is the matter?" say you? I swan! it'shard to tell! Most of the years behind ns. we've passed by very well I have no other woman—she hai no other man, Only "*e've lived tigethor as long as we ever *s ean. j.. So I have talked with Betsy, and JBetsy haa talked'with me So we've agreed together that we Can't never

Not that we've catehed each other in any terrible crime Wo've been a gatherin' this for years, a little at a time.

There was a stock of temper we both had, for a start Though we ne'er suspected 'twould take ns two apart I had my various failings, bred in flesh and bone, And Betsy, like all good women, had a temper of her own,

First thing I remember whereon we disagreed Was something concerning Heaven—a difference in our creed. Wearg'ed the thing at breakfast—wje arg'ed the thing at tea— And the more we arg'ed tho question, the mere we didn't agree.

And the next that I remember was when we lost a cow She had kicked the backet for certain—the

question was only—how?

Betsy, another

I held my own opinion, and had: And when we were done a tallan', we both of us was mad. And the next that I remember, it started in a

But full fo'r a week it lasted, and neither of us spoke. And the next was when I scolded bccause she broke a bowl A#d she said I was mean and stingy, and hadn't any soul.

And so that bowl kept ponrin' dissensions in our cup And so that blamed old cow was always a comin'up And so that Heaven we arg'ed no nearer to us got, But it gave us a taste of somethin' a thousand times as hot.

And so the thing kept work in', and all the selfsame way Always somethin'. to arg'e, and soinethin' sharp to say. And down on us come the neighboraa couple dozen strong. And lent their kindest service for to help the thing along,

And there has been days together—and many a weary week— We was both of ns cross and spunky, and both too proud to speak. And I have been thinkin' and thinkin'. the whole of the winter and fall, If I can't live kind with a woman, why, then

I won't at all.- »-, ?».• J'.J-

And so I have talked with Betsy, and Betsy has talked with me And we have agreed together, that we can't. never agree And what is her's shall be her's, and what is mine shall be mine. And I'll put it in the agreement, and take it to her to sign. *V .. Write on the paper, lawyer—the very first paragraph— Of al! the farm and live stock, that she shall have her half. For she has helped to earn it, through many a weary day, And it's notnin' more than justice that Betfcy has her pay.

Give her the house and homestead a man can thrive and roam. But women are skeery critters, unless they have a home. And I have always determined, and never failed to say. That Betsy never should want a home, ifl was taken away.

There is ~a little hard cash, that's drawin tol'rable nay Couple of hundred dollars, laid by for a rainy day Safe in the hands of good meif, and easy to get at Put in another clause, there, and give her half of that.

Yes, I see you smile, sir, at my.'givin' her much Yes. divorces is cheap, sir, but I take no stock in such. Trno and fair I married her, when she was blithe and yonng And Betsy was al'ays good to me, exceptin with her tongue.

Once, when I was yonng as you, and not smart, perhaps* For me she mittened a lawyer, and several other chaps And all of'em was flustered, and fairly taken down. And I for a time was counted the luckiest man in town.

Once, when I had a fever—I won't forget soon— I was hot as a basted turkey and crazy as loon— Never an hour went by me, when she was out of sight She nursed me true and tender, and stuck to me day and night

And if ever a house was tidy, and ever kitchen clean. Her house and kitchen was tidy, as any ever seen. And I don't complain of Betsy or any ef her acts, Exceptin' when we've quarreled, and told each other facts.

So draw up the paper, lawyer and I'll go home to-nignt. And read the agreement to her. and see if it all right And then in the mornin' I'll sell, to a tradin man I know. And kiss the child that was left to us, arid out in the world I'll go.

And ono thing put in the paper, that first tor me didn't occur: That when I am dsad at last, she bring me back to her And lay me under the maples I planted years age. When she and I was happy, before \r,e quarreled so.

And when she dies, I wish that she would be laid by me And lyin' together in silence, perhaps we will agree. And if ever we meet in heaven, I wouldn think it queer If we loved each other the better for what we have quarreled here.

Democratic papers of Indiana

continue to harp on tne disappointment of ex-Congressmen Orth in not being appointed Minister to Berlin, accusing him of having supported the San Domin go scheme on the expectations of that mission. The fact is that Mr. Orth took official action in favor of the project even before General Orant became President, The proposition was, in fact, made by Andrew Johnson in his last annual message to Congress. The present Administration is simply carrying out the plans of its immediate predecessor. This fact seems to have escaped attention. It is a conclusive answer to those traducers who charge upon President Grant and his frienas the concoction of a corrupt job.

We may find in this a good illustration of the fairness of the two parties. When Democratic President advocated annexation, it did hot meet with much favor at the same time the Opposition brought no charge of corruption. It was simply pronounced an error of judgment. But no sooner did his Republican successor indorse it than the opposition fell to calling names and inventing lies, in the hope of making political capital out of it. The Democrats will find this bad policy in the end. They are drifting to the doom of the boy in the fable who cried wolf, wolf, when there was no wolf.—Chicago Journal. iK

Engiceers aJM^Expressmen, the most exacting of watch-weartrs, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects, is to deoid ,tho question.as to.the real value of these builmpb) -V

The superior organization and great extent of the Company'* Works at W^ltbam, enables, thorn to produce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and those who buy any other: watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent.'more fo^ thfir watches than is necessary.

These Lime-pieces combine every improvement that along experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this, conn try or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by the moit skillful frtisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be: essential to correct and enduring time-keeping.

Among the many improvements we would particularize: Tho invention and use of a centre-pinion ot peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main-springs, is original With-the American Watch Company, who, having bad the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless.

Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers, to be thcbcst. are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.

All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, otecting the movement from dust, and lessening the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in otheratche*.

Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch is already a decided success,' and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now oflortd to the public. To those living in portions of the United States where watchmakers do not abonnd, watches with tho. above mentioned improvements which tehd to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability- and- convenience, must prove invaluable.
