The Army and Navy Journal prints a lettor from a navy officer, who suggests that the ancients, who knew the value of oiling troubled waters, learned this method from observing tho sea-birds. All fish- eating birds, cape pigeons, petrels, and the like, eject oil from thn mouth when captured. In the .South Atlantic and South Pacific the writer has witnessed sea birds floating in the spaces of comparatively quiet water when the sea around was rough. The unusual smoothness of the water was evidently due to considerable quantities of oil deposited by the birds. A herd of wild'cattlo was being driven through the town of San Diego. A little child was playing in tbo street near where the cattle were passing, when ono of the bulls —a huge creature with large horns —made a sudden rush at the ■ poor bairn. To add to the terror of the scene, tho drover was tipsy, and in trying to turn the furious animal, fell off his horse. Warning yells arose from the spectators as they beheld ! he fate from which, as it seemed, nothing could save the child. At this vory moment a lady happened to come into the street, and tbe noise of the tumult at once attracted her attention.

Its effects were terribly dis* i.&trou-;, tho capital city of the island having been totally submerged, and tho loss of lifo is enormous. Thousands of natives were swept away and drown- ■d.

London, April 3.—The war oflloe furnished copies of Stanley's letter to tho Standard, News and rimes On Monday afternoon. The London editor of the New York World by some means secured a copy of the letter and published an extra at nine o'elook last night, thereby scooping the English lapers on their own news, they having teld it baok until this morning. SHALLEY'S CABLE. London, April 3rd. — A curious proof of British good will to America was furnished by last night's performance at the Alhambra. The new military ballet there brought out introduces troops of different nations as guests at Portsmouth. Their reception varied greatly but tho most popular of all, according to the morning papers, were the American soldiers. France came next and then Italy, while both Germany and Russia were roundly hissed, Music hall audiences are no doubt peculiar, but not to be despised. It was a music hall whioh set Jingoism going in 1878. Note also that the appearance of the Royal Irish fusiliers was greeted with cries of "Good old Parnell." More solid evidence of our English cousin's feeling is supplied by the Queen's message of sympathy in reference to the catastrophe to the American vessels at Samoa, and by messages from the British squadron. These last an here, thought more remarkable than tbe Queen's, Vory striking also is Admiral Hornby's letter. He is by common consent, the most accomplished of British Admirals, and it means much whon he takes pains to point out that tho good fortune of tho Britiih ibip "Calliope" implies no superiority of seamanship over her less fortunate comrades, AHnMu-iyBeoiu. Speaking of the Southern Railway, tin) Watcom Heveille says: "Anticipating Uio completion of the railway and other advantages, proporty has advanced tu Vi'lntcom to an enormous extent. Tho city in embryo is full of real estato agents, the number being estimated at over 100. A boom equally ni feverish and as cm/ as existed in Winnipeg in 1881-82 and lately in Southern California now prevails inthe Bny Capital.

Tlio provincial lcyis'iituro seems to have pub up a tort of an ti-Higgins '■trust." There is certainly a "combine" among the "assembled wisdom" to knock every last bib of natural nnd excusable conceit out of the junior member for Ksquimalt. His measures am almost invariably knocked on thu head arid his words are not conceded thnt weight which his presence is calculated to inspire. The '-definite railway policy" motion of the "honorable member'! was declared out- of Ordor by the speaker, his well meant amendment to the poisons act treated with scorn, unci even his libel bill smothered out of existence in the second reading. This bill, tho fuil text of which we published shortly after its introduction by Mr. Higgins, n few weeks ago, deserved a better fate. In fact, ib should have passed, and the motives of those who opposed and voted against it are very difficult of analysis on any other hypothesis than that of general obtuseness and crass ignorance of the subject. The honorable president of the council, ycieped tho "coal king," was most violent and bitter, not only in his denunciation of the measure, but iu his remarks about the press of the province generally, although he probably took this means of "getting even" on one or two of his journalistic bete noirs. Mr. Dunsmuir's experience with a portion of the provincial press, whether his own fault or not, haa not been particularly pleasant, and through tbe courts he has "tasted blood" on more than one occasion, which is probably the principal reason why he wants his journalistic hunting grounds to remain unbarred. But, although theso circumstances may constitute a partial excuse for Mr. Dunsmuir's violent opposition, that is no reason why the press of the province should be denied that fair and reasonable protection to which it is justly entitled, and which Mr. Higgins* libel bill, even if it had been slightly amended, would have done much to insure. A similar measure journalists throughout tho province should insist upon becoming law. Teachers as a class occupy a somewhat singular and not altogether enviable position. Their vocation is a most important one—second to none, and superior to most on that score—and, recognizing this, a crucial test is provided by the paternal government of the country or province, as the case may be, in the way of -more or less difficult examinations, which any would-be instructor of youth must pnss before being intrusted with the exercise of his high function—shaping, to a large extent, the character and destiny of nations iu the plastic and unfolding minds of the youug. The paternal govern- ernment aforesaid (standing for any civilized government) still further protects its youth by hedging the teacher round with certain restrictions for their limitation and rules for their guidance. The design aud the general tendency of these paternal safe-guards and regulations are good in their normal operations; but hnmamtm est errare; and governments ure only human* there fore, ib conies to pass that governments, with the best of intentions, sometimes err, and whut was meant for a wholesome restriction or a " beneficent regulation actually turns out to be un irksome incubus or a galling fetor. The members of almost any other profession or calling, finding themselves in such a relation to any governmental enactment or rule, follow the natural impulse and begin to "kick" vigorously, and their "kicking" is usually respected ns coming from those who know "where the sitoe pinches," and reasonable amendment in the o.Tending regulation is generally tho speedy result 'In the case of public school teachers, however, the case is somewhat different, They are beholden to the government of the country, in a way, for their salarief*. The government, us a rulo, is nob inclined to forego the whip band which it thui holds over tho semi-dependent teachers, and when the latter am inblined to complain and seek for the modification or removal of what they deem to be n galling rule, in their own and their scholars' interests, governments and school boards are wont to a-J^ess the teachers in this faihion: "You don't know what is good for you; just stop your -kick ing' and leave these matters to our superior judgment. If you persist ih -kicking,' however, you'll have to go; we can't have any recalcitrants or mutineers in camp." Although docility and harmony may be preserved in most cases by such means, the danger is that those who should bo moat competent to detect abuses and exorescencea in the educational economy, and suggest needed improvement!-—the teachers themselves, who are In actual and constant practice — may be deterred from opei4fer their mouths when the intemd of true education demand it, and degenerate into mere tools of their own or that ambition and interest in their calling which is prerequisite to the highest success. From an eastern exchange we-learn that n certain Ontario school board has actually passed a resolution "forbidding teachers to discuss school affairs in tho public press." It is added that the teachers resent bitterly the fact that they are thus gagged, "because they cannot speak openly without professional ruin." The paper referred to above comments as follows on the samo subject: It is not merely a local grievance, for this muzzling process runs through the whole educational system. Those who are best able to throw a light upon such subjects, tlio teachers, are arbitrarily rilcuccd, because their criticisms of defects would be inconvenient. Not only do the boards apply sueh pressure, but the department and its officers also hive their black lists of those who dare to point out imperfections. In fact, the action of the boards is, in most cases, merely transmitted from tho department, more or less directly. The truth is that the educational portfolio is utilized like the others to promote in the first place tho party interests. To carry out this object school boards and teachers have alike to be terrorized, How can boards and teachers criticize costly, defective, or changing text books, or complain of trouble-jomo aud injurious regulations, when a reduced grant or a dismissal may result from such frank speaking? Even tho choice of examiners by the central authorities is made to terve tho same end of rewarding the submissive, and showing the critical what thoy lose by being outspoken, Tho gag thus applied is especially valuable to the ministry, because our educational system, since it has been in political fetters, bas been so full of evils of various kinds that it is above all things necessary to prevent thoso who are well-informed from letting in the light of day. So far as our observation goes, our provincial government is not free from the tendency we have been describing. The late "daily marking" "unpleasantness" furnishes an illustration in point, We are perfectly convinced that the wishes and the judgment of the great majority of the teachors of the province have been over-ridden in this matter, and that if the teachers had been consulted, and their opinions freely giVen and respected, the "daily marking" clause of the school act amendments would never have been passed in its present shape. While it is right and expedient tlmt the government should exercise a careful surveillance and have n final voice in all matters pertaining to the regulation of tho schools, supported in wholo or in part from the public treasury, it is just ns muoh in tho interest of education that tho teachers should consider themselves perfectly free to discuss questions bearing upon their daily work, in the public press or otherwise, nnd even to express opinions conflicting with those of the department. Their advice as a body should, in fact, be sought nnd taken, in most cases, especially when tlie question is one affecting the internal economy of the schools. This is only reasonable, and while exceptional cases might arise, the consensus of opinion of the whole teaching staff of a province, on matters peculiarly within their judgment, should surely constitute a safer guide in the formulation of rules for practice than the dictum of the department.

Queen Victoria now holds a place among tho oldest sovereigns of Europe, says the New York Sun. In May of next year she will ho TO years of age. Bhe has been on the tlirouo for half a century. She enjoys good health and bids fair to live and reign for many years yet. If Bhe attains the age of her grandfather, George III.- sho will wield the copter (barring accidents) up to the year 1001. If at that time her son, the Princo of Wales, becomes King, howillhavo reached the ripo age of 60 years, and his tendency to baldness will, doubtless, have becomo more marked .than it Ib now. The new German Emperor Frederick Is 57 years of age, and his Empress, the daughter of Queen Victoria, Is 48. Judging from photographs, ho docs not closely resemble his departed father in the face, but sho looks very much like her mother, If Frederick should live to be as old as his father, and perhaps he may, he will wear his crown (burring accideuts) up to the year 1922. His ailments dim hiB prospects, but the Scotch Dr. Mackenzie may banish bis ailments, Tho King of the Belgians, Leopold IL, Ib 53 yeara old, and if he should reign till he roaches the age at which his father died, he will be King up tothe year 1910. Ho has been on tho throne nearly twenty-three years. The Emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph, is 58 years old, and he has worn the imperial crown for forty years. His predecessor was hiB undo, who abdicated the throno in his favor when but 55 years of ago, becauso ho was tired of the turmoil and trouble. Francis Joseph is a polished scholar, a linguist, an equestrian, an ad* mlrer of military pomp and a charmer. He Ib healthy, and bids fair to reign for a long time yet (barring accidents)' Tho King of Italy, Humbert© I., is 44 years old, and has worn the crown since tho death of his father, ten yeara ago. He is but tho second of the Kings of United Italy, and his throne is In the eternal oity ofHome. The Emperor of Russia, Alexander IH., is -13 yeara old, and mounted the throne aftor the murder of his father, seven years ago. Tho King of Denmark, Christian IX., is TO years of age, or a year older than Queen Victoria, and is tho second oldest monarch in Europe. He has wielded the scepter for a quarter of a century, or just half as long as the British Queen. One of his daughters is tho wife of tho Russian Czar; another of them Is wifo of the heir apparent to the British crown, and his seoond son Is King of Greece. The King of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II., is in his sixtieth yoar, and has reigned for sixteen years. He has favored some reforms. The King of Portugal, Lull I., is SO years old, and is a man of enterprise and progress. He has boen for twenty-seven years a King. Tho power and authority of the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII., who Is not yet two years old, is limited by the regency of his mamma. He never saw his royal Biro. Tho King of Greece, or King of the Hellenes, Georgios L, is 43 years of ago, and has boen King for a quarter of a century, or s'mco he was 18, at which age ho was eleoted to tho Hellenic throno. Ho finds it a hard job to rule the modern Greeks or keep their favor. Tho Sovereign, or Bultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid II., is 40 years old, and succeeded to tho throne twelvo years ago,when tho majesty who proceeded him was deposed.

Proved Itself Very Valuable, From classic times, down to tho commencement of this century, it can hardly be said that this branch of meteorology mado any advance,writes Hon.Ralph Aberwomby in the Popular Science Monthly. Few, if any, new prognostics had been discovered, and neither their physical explanation nor their meteorological significance bad been found out, But about eighty years ago some phj-Bical explanations wero given. It wns found thut the air always contained u certain quantity of uucondensed vapor, uud means were invented for measuring this amount accurately. From this, tho nature and conditions of tho formation of dewwero discovered, und also that before many cases of rain tho uir became moro charged with vapor. Tina latter fact gave the explanation of several rain-prognostics. For instance- when Walls sweat, atones grow black, and clouds form on hilltops, rain muy bo expected almost all the world over. But even whon these reasons had boon discovered, tho science flagged. A lurgo number of rain prognostics could not bo shown by any means to depend on nu increase of moisture, and, as vapor cun not grow in tho air, some explanation waa needed to account for Ub variable quantify. And oven whon, in a general way, tho prognostic had boon explained, no olew whatever hud been found for what wo mny call tho in6toovoli)gicnj significance. Wlmtwus the i-eliuim of tho damp to the rain I Why did the prognostic sometimes fall! Why are there many vain-prognostics associated with a tolerably dry air . Why iB not ull ruin preceded by tho samo set of prognostics! To all theie questions no answer could bo given. Prognostics, had almost fa lon into disrepute; they wero considered no pnrt of science, nnd had been supposed to be only suitable for rustics and sailors, g fto tbe subject remained till tho introduction of synoptic charts. Thou it was soon seen that in temperato regions tho broad foul/area of weather depend ou tho shnpo of tho isobarie lines, and later on it was shown —tho author believes, mainly by himself— that nearly all prognostics have a definite place in some shape of isobars, and that ull the above questions, formerly insolublo, receive u ready explanation. It has also beon demonstrated that prognostics can hover bo superseded for uso on board ship, und phut even in the highest development.!! of wcuther-forecasting by means of electric telegraph, prognostics often afford most valuable information. A POWERFUL UNION. Origin aud Strength of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer*-, Tho locomotivo engineers wero organized in Detroit, Mich., August 17, 1603, as the 11 Brotherhood of tho Foot Board." At Indianapolis, Ind., August 17,1804, it wa3 reorganized as "Tho Grand International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,'' Its objects are " to combine the interests of locomotive engineers, to elevate their char- actor as meu-aud to improve their efficiency. To be ndmitted to membership tho person must be a "white male, Uvonly-onc years of ago, able to read and write, o- good moral character, temperate habits aud a locomotive engineer In good standing and actually employed at such occupation and having had one year's experience at the timo prepared for membership." Drunkenness is liable to bo punished with expulsion, and the same penalty is attached to a member for negloct of his duty, for injuring tho proporty of his employers, or who wilfully endangers the lives of persons, while under the influence of liquor, or otherwise. Upon death ot a mem. ber in good standing and leaving & family needing aid, the members nro bound to render rolief. Thon u.*e also sick benefits attached to tho organization. Tho Brotherhood seeks to prevent, by " honorable means,-' tho hiring of men for fiVcraon who will not mako "respectable, comjietent and intelligent engineers," nud " to abolish tbo classification of engineer'- In vogue upon somo roads." Thoro are 389 local lodges, with a membership of 17,000. Tho insurance brunch hns 4,801 membors. Members aro discouraged from joining other labor organizations. The organization has had fow strikes, whioh have been mostly sue- __ __ f-cessful.

Ho is the fourth of his dynasty since Servia threw off the Turkish yoko in 1830. His predecessor was assassinated. The reigning Prince of Montenegro is Nicholas I,, who is 47 years old, and haa reigned for twenty-eight years. In Germany thore are threo Kings and a Grand Duke besides the Emperor of Germany and tho King of Prussia, who aro one. Thero are tho King of Bavaria, the King of Wnrtemborg, tho King of Saxony and the reigning Grand Duke of Baden. Thero are In Europe two kingloss countries—Franco and Switzerland. Both of thoso republics seem to be able to get along and keep tho peace without tbe guidance of Kings or Emperors.

He is a graduate bt the Polytechnic School in Paris, and held various offices beforo his eleotion as President There are over 88,000,000 pee- i* pie in tho French Republic. In the Republic of Switierland, the highest official of the Government is the President of tho Federal Council, who is eleoted by tho Federal Assembly, holds offloe for tho term of, ono year, and enjoys a salary of 48,000 por annum. Tho President for tho present year is W. F. Hortonstoln. A President Ib not eligible to re-election until y a year after tho end of his term of offlce.

A correspondent of tho NowYork San, writing from Sholton, Conn., says that among the mnny pretty girls who assist In mailing pins In tho Howe pin factory In that village wus Miss Carrio F. Diiint-s. One day, several years ago, Miss Dulunt*, in a spirit of mischief, joined with other girla iu writing their names and addresses on tho papers upon whleh pins are stuck. Home six months aftor Miss Daines received a letter from a farmer in Kansas. Houskcd Miss Daines to correspond with blm. Miss D-tlncs flatly rofused. She was satisfied with hor lot. Thero woro plenty of young men in her circlo of society, and when her timo camo, if ever it did, she would marry some ono Bho knew. But Mr, Pillsbury possessed the grit of most Western men, and soon after her refusal to open a correspondence Mr. Pillsbury appeared ln Shelton. Ho brought with him credentials as to his respectability and standing, sought an introduction to Miss Daines, and, after a brief courtship, ho aiked hor to marry him. Miss Daines liked tho young tpan, but she was not in love with him, and bo rofused tho good offer the Kansas farmer made hor. Dislionrtened, Mr. Pillsbury went homo. In a few months he mot another Connecticut girl, and finally married her. Tho marriage wns a happy ouo, but after a fow months tho brido died, and Mr- Pillsbury was moro determined than ever to get his flrst love, the pretty Sholton pin-maker. Uo wrote to her again, telling her of hiB loss, and askod hor to correspond with him. She again rofused, but hor refusal was worded in so sympathetic a manner that he becomo more than ever determined. Ho accordingly camo to Sholton again and, nothing daunted, began a most persistent wooing. At first ho met with no encouragement, but bis earnestness and devotion began to thaw out the heart of tho Yankee lass, and after a time Mr. Fills- bury's pluok won her consent A few days ago Rev. J. G. Ditmars, pastor of tho Baptist church, united tbe porBistent Pillsbury to his sweetheart, and thoy have gone to their far Western home. A Lie as Is a Lie, A big snake story comes from Mount Holly, in Berkley County, 8. C. A party of negroes wero cutting upon a lightwood log of large circumferenco and great length when it suddenly began to movo slowly off toward a creek about ton feet distant Tho negroes wero stricken with terror, and they at once dropped their axes and stampeded, Dr. Byrd, in charge of tho hands, tried to recall them, but they continued tn their flight, without oven onco looking back. In the meantime the log was moving steadily toward the creek. As It fell into the water thosourco of its power of locomotion wns revealed in a most astounding' manner. Hundreds of hissing serpents ".leaped forth from their hiding placo ln tho log and darted forth in different directions in tho water. Tho snakes wore of tho genuine water moccasin species, varying in length from ilmt of abuggyspoketoahoehandle. Dr. Byrd and others stood by, watching tho snakes deport, and their going consume] fully thirty minutes. Three of tho nef-roos who fled whon the log began to movo havo not sinco boen hoard from. The brickmasons and plasterers of Kuu m.\\ City, Mo., will probably go out with the stonemasons if tho latter association shall not bo given on eight-hour day the coming season, Tho formor will then demand u nine-hour day.
