Last year there •were 3200 regular students enrolled The state Legisla ture provides generously for this insti tution. A paper by the Hon Eugene Smith of New York City on \The Cost ol Crime,\ whlib was read iit the receul , session of the National 1'rlson u»su I elation at Cleveland, was an attempt to ' complete the nproxltunte coat of crime In tin* I lilted Stutcs. Owing to the \absence of reliable statistics only a ' relative estimate'could lie made But the speaker thought lie was within moderate bounds in estimating tin ', cost of crime, ln< lulling the expense of Its prosecution and punishment, as ; -not- less ttnm-$rtot>;Otm;WO; - | According to a Belgian officer whe has Just returned froln the Congo Free State, the river Uelle tliereNs full of n species of octopus, culled by the natives \inlga.\ This creature 19 in the bnblt, It Is said, of attacking native cauoes, capsizing them, drag glug its victims to Its cave and mak Ing a meal of them. The Belgian tells some strange stories of the perform ances of these creatures which he pro fesses to have witnessed. These stories strain one's credulity and read like a page from Ulder Haggard'j novels. / Mr. Thomas Morim., the celebrated American painter, speaking tor the ex cellence of American art. declares thai when the rich American gets over his J desire for foreign paintings, the future 1 of American art Is assured, for when worthy work Is In demand at home our art will develop Itself to the re quirements. There Is not a line of en deavor in which we have not at home better talent than is to be found in any part of Kurope. This Is a fact which will make itself felt sooner or -brter, when tin* trew-rieh will becoine more conservative and not go off In a mad racer&C^er foreign rainbows* The recent report of the department of agriculture, calling attention to the rapid destruction of the groves of great trees which have been_one_of_the glories of California, points to \the need of checking the activities of the relentless woodman and his ax. In spite of legislation, little enough has been done for the preservation ol Atnerlcan forests, aud in the. case of the big trees of California there Is absolutely nothing to prevent the thrifty w»od cutter from enriching himself, by the felling of trees whlct in their age and luagwlllcenee are not equalled anywhere in the world. Thai a tree should grow for ^ many ceu [ turles. a living evidence of the great ness of the vital forces in nature, i to be hacked down by the first thrifty persoiL-who may want to gather In a few dollars, seems a pity. If the destruction Is objectionable for senti mental reasons. It Is equally objection able as depriving future generations ol n feature nf natural beauty It would MH'UI iluu Hie ft'ih'i'ul KoviTumunt mid the state authorities of California wUt propriety might take joint actlon N In this mutter to save at least th& preat- est of tbrtto natural curiosities) That very night three oompanies were formed and armed\ by Mr. Ver non, and the next day they reported for duty. General Jackson was delighted, and when Mr. Vernon called at his head quarters, he seized- bis—hand and— wrung it savagely. i \Ton are the kind of a man that I like!\ he oxolaimed, his face lighting ap and its hard lines softening into cordial enthusiasm of expression. \Yon are the Ablest man of this noble State!\ There was no mistaking the gen- oral's feelings, and. Mr. Vernon could not r^pel thorn, indeed^the fire of the old days, when he fought by sea and land, was burniug high now; he had fanned it with-his-own-oratory in stir- ^ ring up- tho embers in the breasts of that reckless crowd. \I know, gonoral, that the Safety of New Orleans depends upon the cour age and patriotism of her own chil dren,\ was all tho reply that he made, bat bis manner and voice told how deeply he felt. \True .sir; trno as Gospel!\ said Jaokson, still holding on to his hand. \And you will lead them, and those English dogs will yelp and cringe be fore you. Yon aro tho mainstay of everything now, we caunot do with out you.\ It was as if a son were speaking to a father. Jackson was in the full prime of life, and, though worn by sickness, still stalwart, and ragged; but Mr Vernon looked tho mas ter who oould onforce his will, oven with the stubborn aud.relentless com mander. He smilod a strange, illu minating smile, and his deep-set eyes glowed out from .under his grizzled and shaggy brows with a power that was irresistable. \I am at your oommand, general— I and those men. Where you say go, there we will go or dio.\ i -When Lieutenant Ballanoho oamo in with tho report from Bayou Bion- venu, Jackson sjpaLimmediately -far Mr. Vernon, but WOB unable to see him till the noxt morning, when he told him of the advance of tho English. Tho old mau^s face blanched. \But my wifo and my daughter!\ ho hurriedly said \They have just gone out to my plantation near tho Bayou. I sent thorn thoro but yester day.\- \Then you had bettor go get'them ' and bring them back,\ was Jackson's blunt rejoindor. \We inarch down the river immediately.\ \MademoiseTIo Maria de Sezannes - is with my family,\ said Mr. Vornon, turning to Lieutouaot Ballanoho. It was now that young officer's turn to grow a trifle pale. '\Mademoiselle de Sezannes!'\ he sohoed quiokly. | \Yes. She accompanied my wifo and daughter.\ \ \GeT (5ra ~t7 ''\8at 'd th<rH\oTiteOTntr-\I - ask for a small detaohment and leave to go after the latjies.\ \You cannot go. I cannot spare ' you,\ was jacKson's brusque answer Then Mr. Vernon rose to his foot and fixed his oyes upan the general. \Goneral he exclaimed, \the young lady is the lieutonant's prom ised wife! He mustgoi\ And he went. Thore had been good reason for tho failaroof Goneral Jaokson's messenger to. find Mr. Vernon on tho day before. | Indeed, if he had found him, his mes sage must have beeajjelayed; for Mr. Vernon WQB in no mpnrWn/ W inter rupted. He and Colonel Loring were having a memorable interview. Loring cam.e t o Chateau d'Or, whore less way; but he did not answer bis question. \You'll stay here, I suppose, and let the English soldiers show such meroy as they may to your family and you,\ oontinaed Loring, half-sneer- ingly. \I hove sent my wifo and daughter to Lapin at the plantation. \At Bay Saint Louis?\ \No; on Bayou Bienvenu.\ \Oh out there! What did you send those defenseless women oat there for?\ \For Bafety, in case \ \Safety indeed! Don't you kotow that right up Bayou Bienvenu the Eng lish army will come flrBt?\ \No.\ Mr. Vernon looked uneasily \at Lor ing. \Well said the latter, \I know it, and you had better go fetch them back -at-onoe.\ --<-- \How do yon know?\ ' Loring laughed, and his laugh was like an open sneer. \Ob to be exact, I expect to lead those jolly red-ooats in by that route.' \Ta! It is a nasty jest. Be serious if yob. can. You have something o» your mind to say to mo. aay it, please.\ \Well then, I need some money.\ \Certainly—you always do, but how muoh.?!''-— w*—*\-* ..».. \Ten thousand dollars will do.\ Mr. Vernon, who had been sitting, rose slcwly and stood up before Lor ing. \I will not give you one oent,\ he said, with tho aocent of finality. \Yes you will, when you know -took\ curiously searching, wistfal, hopeless. • The cold drops of a. power- ~ Tul: excitemenlrweTjj beading the old forehead.

His lace \seemed to Bpften in some strange way. \It doesn't matter who I am I am pressed. My life is at stake. I cannot parley.\ Mr. Vernon stepped forward and laid a poworfnl grasp on the younger man's shoulder. His fingers were like mighty hooks of steel; they closed over the hard masoles with an almost paralyzing .power. \Speak to me! Tell me! You-shall not go till you do!\ he exolaimed, with the emphasis of desperation. Loring tried to shake him off, not roughly but firmly He might as well 1 have tried to push out a wall of the I house. The other hand olosed ..upon I him, and he felt how unequal would | be the struggle with the grizzly giant j before him Indeed, his arms were I as if pinioned to his sides.\ 1 \If yon are indeod Thomas MooCol- I lough's son,\ continued .Mr. vernou, that 4° PP. hoarse grovl, \you will •t'lfe-or evode or hesitate now •peak, I oommand you 1 \ I Beem to be rather helpless in your hold,\ said Loring. \When you -get-tired, let go ofme, ploaso.\ | Mr. Vernon's hand fell away, and he stepped book, drawing a deep breath as one does who controls pas sion by sheer force. \Loring he said slowly, \or Pierro Bamoau, or Kirk MacCollough, whoever you aro, it is \ \Stop!\ interrupted Loring, \Can you stive mo the monev or not'\ A man-servant at the door was par leying with some one whose voice barely reached the room. Mr Vernon had given orders to admit no person \If you are Kirk MacCollough I will give you the money,\ the old man almost whispered. \I oould lie to you,\ said Loring \If you could, you are not he.\ „ , T ,- - . . , , .......
