Maghtfate's fiiynatufi*. Volcanic France has again been In a state of political eruption. This time however the .eruption wa« not very severe aud the event passed off without any disastrous results. The recent election iu Frauce proved fa- vorabie to the Republican party and unfavorable to tlie party of which President MacMahou was regarded as the head. The Senate and Chamberof Deputies were therefore politically hostile to tlie President, and a rupture between th6 legislature and executive has ensued. The disagreement oc­ curred ostensibly on' certain public measures, but realty because MacMa­ hou did not command tlie confidence of A majority of the Senators aud'Dep­ uties. "tflte result «f It a*i la President MacMAlnui resigned, ami M. Jules Grevy, President of the chamber of Deputies, has been elected to soeoeed him. M.tiambetta, the soul and in­ spiration of the Republicans of Fr*ace lias been elected to succeed Grevy In the Presidency of the lower house.-- Thus, for the first time since the .for­ mation of the Republic, France has a President that Is heart and mind a Re­ publican. The election of Grovy toiakes the existence and continuance of the French Republic more sure, and toe therefore cannot but hail the resig­ nation of MacMahou with favor. The event did not create any great commo­ tion, although fur the time being there reigned deep anxiety and suppreaaed excitement. 9STA good colored inau once said In It class meeting: "Brethren, when I was a boy 1 took a hatchet and went Into de woods. When I found a tree dat was straight, big and solid, I didn't touch dat tree; but wiien I found one leaning a little and hollow inside, I soon bad him down. So when the deb* bil goes after Christians, he don't touch them dat stand straight aud true but dein dat lean a little and are hol­ low inside." 10*This is a. boy*« composition on girls: "Girls are the only folks that lias their own way every time. ©Iris is of several thousand kinds.aud some­ times one girl ean be like several thousand girls if she wants to do any­ thing.

Meeting called to order at 10;Nt Exercise In reading by Prof. WUkle. This was conducted in a very interest­ ing manner by the reading of extracts from "S'i« 1 don's Method* in Teaching." giving the methods of the author in teaching the subject. He thought that variety In reading should be practiced; that the "word method** is subject to much abuse; that early training is the most important; that a pupil should not read anything that they did not understand. An interesting discussion followed the treatment of the sub­ ject. Minutes nf wealing Jan. 4ttf, read »nd approval. ^ The report of the Treasttter, 8.

He thought that History was taught too much from the text books; that the idea so commonly understood that the change of opinion In regard to slavery came about In tlie North because It did not pay, was erroneous. rrcrc prove that ther»» was a change In the public opinion of the South rather than of the North; that the main cause of the Rebellion was the social curse of slavery; that there were two critical periods In the history of the Rebellion: 1st, The change in the naval warfare by the in­ troduction of the Monitor, tnd. The battle of Gettysburg; That lite great result of the war was to prove to the world that a Republican government eould exist; that the comormu Idea that the election of Abraham Lincoln was the cause of aeceesion not established in fact. 1 Discussion tups* tbt subject, "Should the legal holidays be part ceeded at nitce to lay down a few brief axioms.

Smith of Cwy, RECESS, *«^Phe Utility of the Higher Brandies In tlie common school.1* This subject was opened by A. W. Cumins. He stated that Newton Bnteman was the one to propose the .institution of the Natural Sciences In the common school branches. He thought thftt the . Natural Sciences detracted too much time from the now too limited period that we have for 'the seven original studies. • That the lack of scholarship was not the fault of the system, but of tbe application of it; that the system might lie so applied that they might be placed within Its list of studies.-- He was followed by Prof. Wllkle. He stated that the one half of the time was lost in the common school by out­ side matters, but thought that when all interested In the school cohld unite in the operation of the school, then will scholars have time to master the Natural Sciences as well as the ele­ mentary studies. He thhught a schol­ ar should not be restricted to the sim­ ple elementary studies and be shut out from all those beauties around him.

Fob. 1st, 1S?S, By the decision made this week In the United States Court at Alexandria, the heirs of General ttobt. E. Lee se­ cure possession to the Arlington Es­ tate, opposite this city. Tbe case will probably go to the United States Su­ preme Court, but there Is thought to be no chance that the decision will be reversed. The successful parties In the case say they have no wish to oc­ cupy the Estate, flitch is now the seat of our most beautiful "National Cepd- etery." but are willing to sell 0e ground to the Government, .,f iln tba past week there has not been ttcls progress in general legislation i faut, tiniest greater progress is made 1n the remaiulng weeks of the session the President will have to call the Democratic 48th, Congress together In extra session. Besides the regular ap* propriatiou blUs there is one matter that both sides seem unwilling to bring up and act on. That Is tlie ap­ propriation of forty or fifty millloM for payments under the arrears of pen* sloii bill. However just or .proper the expenditure uf this money may be-- and 1 dud no fault with It at all--both Republicans and Democrats hesitate to vote a sum of money which they know will render necessary tlie Imposition of new taxes in order to carry oa the Government. To-day the subject discussion In the House is "Southern Claims.** A t-J oi a Wisconsin Dem­ ocrat to the payment of any of these claims, or tlie terms in which he ex­ pressed his seutlmeats, gave oftense to several Southern Members, and they have sought ever since an opportunity to give their views. This opportunity they did not have until to-day. The subject Is one which it Is easy to talk about, but upon which there is a sur­ prising lack of information among Congressmen. All tlie fuss being made in Congress Is over a few peUy claims sought to be paid through '"special act,** while millions ot dollars are paid out yearly through the regu­ lar machinery of Gtarertiuient upon been immet*e!y gratified at the great reception given him on his .arrival liere^the other evening. It was equal to anything of tbe kind ever seen jjtere. The Senator has hosts of frieud#|iere, not among Wisconsin rneu but amoiig our own citizens, with whom he has al­ ways beeu popular.

A, poloredman living in New Y#rk, having admired a»colored widow living iu the next block above, but being afraid to come out boldly and reveal his passion, went to a white man of his acquaintance, the Other day, and re­ quested him to write the }ady a letter asking her hand in marriage. Tbe friend wrote,, telling the widow In a few brief lines that the sine of her feet was the talk of the neighborhood, and asking her if she could not pare them down a little. The name of the colored man was signed, and he was to call on her on Sunday night for an answer. The writer of the letter met tbe nigger limping along tbe street, and asked him what the widow said. The man showed him a scratched aoee, a lame leg and a spot on his scalp where a handful of wool had been violently jerked out,and answered in solemn tones, "She didn't fay nuffin, and I din't stay clar mor'n a minute.** fflrthe day is fast approaching when an engine, as it reaches 000 yards of a crossing will complete an electric connection that will drop bars across the highway, on both sides of the track completely closing it to the passage of all teams.

Years ssfo the Boston and Albany Railroad made a rnle that ppwifirs ' should not ride on tickets intended to , be used in the opposite direction from that In which they were journeying. One day the conductor came to a well- dressed, middle aged lady, jiist after leaving Worchester, on the western bound txpre«s, who h mded bias atiek* 9t from Falttier to Worchnster. He protested that, although yeit, sorry, the rules of tlie company would not a!** IQW him to take that ticket for a mo- went. The lady said that she had bought It in good faith, but had never before bad an opportunity to use it, and Intimated, with studied polite­ ness, that aft such regulations wens senseless. And fnalljr sbe remarked: "I am willing tsflth backward ott way if that will be of any comfort to you.n He took the tieke t.--i% I'liMlllfif Mam„J<n*rnaL ISrA Nevada Cltjr lady ef social H riding presents » si wfini nsss for lite considerati--r ef smentlsll. i»r many years past she hat been ettlcted with acute neuralgic pains In varions parts of the body, and some time slnee hoping to ind relief, resorted to the use of an electrical ha&tewjr. $ She need the apparatus for si* »0nth0,lmt fennd no relief. At this tfnte nothtlw was noted of unusual character aa tberesnlt, and although several months have since elapsed it was only when tlm recent cold weather commonest! thai lay ax» traordSnary symptoms followed.

Mr. Shlpman, of Christ Episcopal Church of New York City. He has recently dechttt# that hit should like to set all the church prop erty In the land taxed to the utmost. He believes that what is protected b]r tbe Government should aid In main­ taining the Government. By what right, he asks, does the ehureh claim immunity from bearing her share of the burden? The effect of Its exemp­ tion is to largely increase the rate of taxation on every other species of property, and compels people to pay money indirectly for the support ef churches whether they will or not, in the shape of taxes, which they would not have otherwise paid. He thinks it Is, in fact, a species of Union between Church and State, in violation of thn Constitution and popular rights. Dr. Shlpman estimates the value of tlie ehureh property in the United Statee atfiye hnndred million dollars, and that at the past rate of Increase it wiU In 1900 reach the enormosw yalne three billions of df^llata.
