sion of tbe clear purpose and spirit of the law
of February 17, 1810, and as menacing the
peace and security of tho citizens of Kansas. I
Erotest against tbe locating of these lawlessaqd
Icodthirsty Indians in a region immediately
contiguous to the homes of thousands of peace-
ful citizens of the United States—in a region
from whence at any moment they could invade
the borders of three States of the Union, mur-
deiing and destroying all in their pathway."

Progress of tbe Saw-mill Men's Strike.
East Saginaw, Mich., July 11. — The
strikers met at C. Merrill & Co.'a mill, oppo-
site this city, this morning, and proceeded
down tbe river to ZUwnukee, closing all mills
that had not previously been shut down. Since
noon the only mills running are those of the
Saginaw Lumber company, at Crow island,
and Jesse Herrt's, and both aro now beta;?
visited. Manufacturers have taken no step.3
whatever toward an adjustmet of mattc-is and
appear wholly indifferent. One or two are
anxious to run, but with these exceptions they
propose to be idle a week or two at least, if not
longer. But very few of the mill operatives at
this end of the river have joined the strikers;
in fact, not over 6 per cent.
The Tittshawassee boom companies wilt shut
down rafting and delivering lumber until the
miils start up again.
The feeling among the mlllmen against
State Representative Barry, who lias assumed
the leadership of the strikers at this end of
the river, is very bitter, and many of the
millmen declare that they will not, under any
circumstances, accede to the demands of tbe
strikers.
A Flaw tn Kiel's IndU'tmcnt.
Toronto, July 11.—Considerable interest
was awakened here to-day in Riel's approach-
ing trial by the statement made by Thomas
Holmes, a Wingham barrister, and widoly cir-
culated by the newspapers, pointing out there
is a flaw in the indictment against the rebel
chief, through which he will in all probability
get acquitted, and so through a stupid blun-
der escape punishment. It is contended he is
charged with being a traitor to the queen
while being her subject. Now if Riel is not a
subject of Great Britain but a cltiz?u of the
United States, he should have baen indicted
not under tho statute cf treason, but uuder
the statute which provides for the punishmaat
of foreigners levying war In Canada. It was
under this last statute that tho Fenians were
punished, and it is for contravention of it Riel
should bo tried. _

LIVE STOCK AT CHICAGO.

ISpkcial to TnE News 1
Chicago, July 11. —The live stock market
during the week just closed has been some-
w hat irregular. Shipping grades started Arm
and higher, owing to meager supplies. Offer-
ings of Teians were especially light, creating
a brisk demand for common and medium na-
tives, which, In turn, helped tha mavket for
good to choice kinds. Anything fit to ba sent
east was easily saleable at au advance of Soj
10c on tho previous week'ii quotations, while
dealers claimed there were some instances iu
which a gain of 15c was realized. The propor-
tion of fat shipping beoves was considerably
above tho recent average, but thero were not
enough to go around, and in numeroui cases
buyers purchased a commoner class of stick
than their ordors called for. Grassy, rough
lots, however, ware a little s'.ow, even at tha
ruinously low prices prevailing.
The cows, hulls and mixed lot! were all
wanti d and the competition between caun'jrs
and local butchers advanced values 5@ lOj.
As in shipping lots, however, tha market for
common "to fair droves win well supplied au 1
) rices ruled weak on thin, grassy stock, but
i he light arrivals of Texana prevented any de-
cline. Rargers were scarco and all o(Wrings
were snapped up at an advance of lOj. Can-
ners were the principal buyers.
Nobody appeared to want even the few
stoekers and feeders on Bale. Very fe;v coun
try buyers were present, and yard speculators
hud all they could take care of. Prices rule 1
cw, particularly for common stoekers.
As the week advanced shipping stock con-
tinued on tbe up grade, not on account of any
improvement in the demand, but owing to tho
beggarly number received. There were only
ulxiut the usual number of daily orders here,
but the cattle to fill them were wanting Hence
the scramble among buyers. Th:y wanted
good cattle, and failing to get thom had to
take what they could get. For this reason
common to fair grades enjoyed a temporary
bulge, and higher prices were readily paid for
grassy cattle which would be hard to sell at
Bay pricesdtiring ordinary times. Quotations
weie about 15@20c. higher, making a gain of
85(830c. since the previous Saturday.
Good butchering natives met with u staady
sale at stronger figures, and even common ciu-
niug grades sold briskly owing to the con-
tinued light runs of Texans. fat lots of cows
und heifers were especially called for at 10@
15c. higher prices. Rangers al.o advanced
sharply, (bowing a gain of 25a. over tho pre
vicus week's closing figures. The first drove
of western grass-fed cattle of the season,?cotn-
lrg from Talentine, N< b., and averaging 1100
potiruls, sold at $5 13)^, while some feeders
averaging 1100 pounds went at $4.
Blockers and feeders were liLtie more than
nominal. Supplies were fairly large, bat
chit lly of inferior stock. A few good, thrifty
cattle were wanted, but there w ere no buyers
present willing to pay fancy prices.
Toward the close of the week receipts in-
creased, and as expected, prices dropped off
as suddenly as they advanced. The quality of
tbe offerings was fairly good, bat thero was
eo demand for grassy aud coarse lots oxcept
at very low figures. Some holders of fancy
beeves tried hard to get high prices; but the
market averaged about 15c. lower, and .u the
previous boom was entirely unwarrnat
quotations appearei headed for the oil range.
First-class butchers' stock was still, ncarco
and the offeringe on sale made about steady
piices. Thin cows, bulls, etc., however, were
in ample supply and very hard to sail, buyers
rot wanting them evan at reduced rates
Rangers were in the same meager supply and
firm. Washouts and floods in southern Kan-
sas have kept back shipment*, but a break
may be expected soon now.
1 he Blocker and feeder trade ruled dull and
unsatisfactory. Good qualities were scarce,
but nobody was willing to pay fancy prices
end everybody was disposed to reject common
stock.
Closing quotations range as follows:
Extra beeves SO 10^0 25
Choice steers 5 85®C 00

Educational.
[From tbe I.itohfleUl Enquirer.]
The large colleges are busy in this latter part
of June graduating their hundreds, and the
smaller their scores, of young men who havo
spent some six years at school aud college,
learning how to learn. Much, parhapi most,
that they have studied will never ba of any
direct use to tham; but the trained mind has
os much the advantage for mental work as
the trained body for physical work. Much
tbat is of positive value is learned at the col-
lege—considerably more than in former years,
when Latin, Greek and mathematics monopo-
lized even a greater portion of the student's
attention than they aow do. Even at tha pre-
sent day, however, the time given to learning
of a more practical sort is considerably less
than that devoted to Latin, Greek and mathe-
matics.
One of the first disagreeable discoveries the
graduate makes is that what is needed iu the
world's industries is practical not theoretical
knowledge, and tbat his learning (3 of the
theoretical kind merely. If ha applies at the
counting house for occupation he discovers
that, while he knows a good deal of matha-
matics, he caa not foot a column of figures
quickly aor correctly. His handwriting, even,
is often so irregular and unformed as to hor-
rify the neat business man. If he applies for
work at a newspaper office, he soon finds
that he lacks the mastery of his own
language needed for editorial writing.
Further, he knows practically nothing of con-
temporary politics" or history. Ho is better
versed in the Roman or Greek methods of con-
ducting public business, even, thau in tha
methods of ti e British Parliament or of tho
Ameiican Congress. Even it he enters tho
law Echool or tbe medical college, he finds him ■
Eelf at first outstripped by those who come to
their work eager, fresh and unwearied with a
six years' mental training which seems to
have deprived him of something of his mental
energy. True, he has a staying power which
tells in the end, though the beginning ia apt to
be very discouraging.
But tho collegian's most difficult experience
is that of accustoming himself to the different
atmosphere of the outside world. For four and
perhaps six years he has baen secluded in a
monastery, as it were. He has been brought
into sharp competition with other young men,
and he has taken cor aln rank there which he
is apt to consider decisive of the place to which
he is entitled in the outside world. He is
disgusted at finding that college judgments
are often reversed or utterly dis-
regarded outside. The distinctions he
has won are not appreciated else-
where. People can not distinguish the man
who has taken tbe valedictory from the
wooden spoon man, as they can tall the great
preacher from the ordinary parson, from tha
evidence of their own eyes aad ears. New
tests are applied, and it is not uncommon to
find the great scholar in the college a perfect
failure without. No doubt the general rule is
the other way. The ability that takes high
position in college caa force its way outside;
but it very seldom finds a college reputation a
foundation on which one can safely build.
The State University of Georgians six de-
partments, consisting of the university proper
at Athens, the medical college at Augusta, and
four branch colleges of agriculture and me-
chanic arts at Dahlonega, Milledgeville,
Thomasville and Cutlibert. Tho whole at-
tendance of pupils is between 1200 and 1300, of
which there are 200 at Athens, 135 at Augusta,
300 at Dahlonega and the rest divided between
the other points. The Athens university, be-
sido the regular literary course, has a law
school, a primary law department, a
school of practical agriculture, with an ex-
perimental farm, a school of practical engi-
neer ing and railroad building, and schools of
practical chemistry aud physical scieno, with
extensive laboratoricB of instruments a-i l np_
paratns. It is hoped soon to have a sjhool of
practical mechanics, teaching work in wood
and metals.
The most valuable feature of this upivar-
sify, in the opinion of the board of visitors,
is tbe technological education that is fur-
nished. There aro three branches of this
practical instruction. Tbe university £an
graduate young men able to build a railroad,
run a faun or perform chemical analysis. Tue
colored Atlanta university has two techno-
logical branches for males, farming and oir-
I enti ring, and two for the females, hou lekeep-
it:g and sewinfr. These departments aro well
run The university his tho Knowles burn-
ing for wood-work and seventeen sots of
carpenters tools, and the graduates are
taught the use of tools and how to do o/ery

THE OI.D KKOINEER'S YAH*
\ Wild Run in Order to Have the IVuptl.il Koot
lied.
[Chicago Herald,]
The engineer stood oiling his locomotive and
waiting for another train. A wadding party
stood cn the station platform, bidding effuBlve
goed-byes to bride and gioom.
" I never see a wedding party get on my
train," said the engineer, " that I do not think
of the time I got married myself. That was
several } oars ago. Though an engineer, 1 was
lather wild, and when I courted tho daughter
of the Bcction boss—as pretty an Irish lass as
ever lived—the old man objected, Ha said if
I didn't reform my ways I'd be killed some
night on my run, and he didn't want any wid-
ons. end children on his hands. But tha girl
aid I made up our minds that we'd get married
any way, and trust to luck for the future. That
yen know ia the kind of risk tha best of 'em
have to take. So I mado all the preparations
for an elcpement. I had a day run, but one
right I chinked off with another ongineer on
purpose. That run brought me to tha little
station, where|tlie section boss lived, daring the
nijibt. It W03 all arranged that she should
coine on board my engine, ride to the second
staticn with me, and there a telegraph opera-
tor, a friend of mine was to have a minister
reaijy. Everything worked all right, aad the
lass " was Boon seated behind ma in
the cab. How the old locomo-
tive did run that night, She
setmcd to fly through the air without touching
tbe rails, but even then she didn't go fast
enough to suit me. At the next station we
s'opped for orders, and the ordei'3 were to side-
track three miles beyond at the coal switch
and wait for No. 0. That was four miles from
L , where the minister was. It was cretty
rough, but orders had to be obeyed. We had
got nicely on the switgb, and stood waiting a
little while, when the brakeman carne run-
ning forward as fast as he could ran,
and from tbe top of tha front car,
shi uted, ' The old man's coming on a hand-cir.
Look out.' I turned, aud aure enough, thirty
rods away, a hand-car was coming with fo ir
men on it. Somebody had betrayed us. Tiiere
was no time to lose. Aa quick aa a flash t de-
cided what to do. Shouting to the bra'.: man
to uncouple the tender from the car I toll my
fireman to jump for the switch. He did so.
and 1 opened the throttle. Just in the nick of
time the switch was turned, and we bounded
cn to the main track. Tho old man mado a run
for us, but he couldn't make it, and than ha re-
turned to his hacd-car and gave chase. Tha
question was now, coald I mako L si i lag
before No. 0 left there? If I couldn't I might
bave a collision. It was a fearfal risk, bat I
pulled tbe throttle wide open, aud while I
fired the lass kept her eye peeled along the track.
She was a brave girl and never faltered, though
we ran so fast that tho engine bounded and
swayed aB if it would leave tho rails. Saon
she called to Bie: 'I see a light.' I looked, and
it was the headlight of No. 6. But I looked
again, and could Bee the switch-lights this side
of ber—she was standing at L . I whistled
fiercely for the switch again and
again. I could see the engine of No.
0 begin to puff—they were moving out. Again
1 whistled, and at last they heard me. No.
C stopped puffing, the white switch light gave
vi ay to a red one, and in a few seconds we
glided upon the siding. At the station was our
minister, and in five minute3 we were married.
Then we followed No. 6 back to the coal
switch, and I moved on with my train without
the loss of any time. The upshot of it all was
that when he heard of It, the superintendent
overlooked my 1 wild run' for a wife, and the
old man came down and did the handsome
thing by ub. I never see a wedding party but
I think of that night's ride."

thigh Saturday in sitting down upon a chair.
