Mrs. Fremont In Arizona

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont has found in Arizona, where General Fremont is now territorial governor, a field for her well known scholarly talents. Certain grown boys and girls, the children of poor párente, and obliged to work for thelr üvelihood,had formed themselves into a class for the reading of history at such times as they could spare f rom iheir labors. They were plueky and bright, and so pleased Mrs. Fremont tbat she gave her Friday evenings to thera. On this work she writes to a friend : "It was a great pleasure to me to find that I could add to the knowiedge of these young people, that I could make real and human to them names and personages, that 1 could link together one event and one personality ai ter another unlil liistory became not a dry mass oí' names and dates and Lsolated events, but a connected and yet broadening streain of human effort. I cannot, ot' course, begin to teil you-all 1 said to them, but the thirty-two history talka I gave my Arizona flock of scholars each Friday of the term after I joined them were a panorama of history as niy fat hor had taught me to know it, as I liad realized it in many a spot of classic ground in Europe, as reading had enriehed it with personal belongings and lighte.and as I had seen it made both in France and in our own great trial-time. For this, when they would thank me, I would teil them to thank my father. I acquired last winter a practical insight into the vast and spreading influeuce of the spoken word on receptive and wilhng young minds. i have never done any one thuig that gave me so much content in the doing and the remembrance." It is suggested by an eastern journal that there are many fashionable maids and matrens in New York who feel a desire to let their light shine into the darkness of the ignorance around theni.and that here is the way. But it is forgotten that Mrs. Fremont is one woman in ten thousand. Soefi a work as she carried on, simply enough seemingly, calis not so much for knowledge.which may be said to be almost common, as for tact, zeal and discretion, wliich are rare. Tlie one hundred miles long pive from Corryville to Williamsport, Pa., for the transportation of coal oil, is six inclies in diameter and contains 28,000 barrels of oil. The fall is 2,100 f eet, and the oil is forced into the pipe by great engines, the Huid passing through the pipe at the rate of something over amile an hour. flovving into the receiving tank at the rate o 000 barrelí a day.
