Considerable sensation is created bv the fact that the Union Pacific began oo the loth to discharge a number of con ductors, among whom are numerous old- timer and popular men. It is claimed Pinkerton's detectives have been working msiu lines snd branches since last August, and recently turned into headquarters a volumiuois report, upon which the pres ent discharge of conductors is based. No other reason for discharge is given than that their services are no longer w silted, and it is supposed it is from the usual cause iu the case of conductors.

The movement of a snake in climbing a perpendicular surface, as 1 nave ob served it, is a vermicular, undulating motion, not spiral, but straight up from the Biirfaco. I have seen a black snake thus glide up a beech treo with the easy, careless grace of movement which is characteristic of that snake when moving over horizontal surface. The bark of the beech affords few inequalities into which the edges of tho gaMrjtslegal bnnds could be thrust claw fn-hicn, and I hove no doubt that atmospheric pres sure is the force that holds the snake sgninstsuch surfaces in climbing, sicker fashion, as the boy lifts the brick with the piece of wet leather. I once kntw a black snake to ascend a stucco wall to the second ntory, and another I saw go up to the caves of a carriage house to the swallows' nest; straight up and dovn boards I have seen thcra glide from tree to trco and loan down from near tke tol of large trees, but never saw one d- B, PUU "7 K"'"8 ul,wu tt u"1' 1" licular surface.

A brief, comprehensive pituy similitude cannot be met by argument. It is a picture bung up to view a demonstra tion on the blackboard like nnto the solution of a mathematical problem. One of the best illustrations of the subject was the answer of Charles James Eox to the French statesman, on the occasion of a discussion npon the comparative nense and wisdom of the French and English character.

Let us, therefore, endeavor to counteract their influence by their only proper antidotes, occupa tion, virtue and religion. L0TE AT FltWT TIETT. At Mark Tiffany, a bachelor, and member of tbe town school committee, entered tbe room of tbe Center Oram mar school of Ilingham, over which Miss Hanby presided, his eyes fell npon tbe face of a new scholar, who waa regis tered "Nellie Hnnter, eighteen years of ge." "Remarkably pretty," thought beat the first glance, nor did be change his mind a be sat on the platform tbe next half hon.- with his traxe fixed npon ber. while ha appeared to be talking to Miaa ff.nlir. Th fact was. he was a little cross eved, and it happened to be very convenient to him just then, as Miss Hanby waa deluded into tbe belief that h looking directly at ber. whereas bis gaze wss fixed jon a far more beauti ful object in a different direction. . It is not supposed that officials are ill nap n and nald to visit schools for the purpose of looking at pretty faces bv the hour; nor did Mark Tiffany make this a practice. But tbis girl s lace was me ideal one for which be bad been looking for many years, and be availed himself of 'he opportunity to make her personal acquaintance before he left the school room. Miss Hsnby made a wry face as he walked aronnd to Nellie's desk, and inquired after her studies. But she brightened up a tbe looked at him and saw. as a tie tnongnt, tnose uecepuvo eyes, still bent npon her, while be was talking to Nellie. . Then sh congratu lated herself on being a schoolmarm ith so eligible a bachelor for commit tee man. Still, feeling a little uneasy in regard to tbe notice be bad taken of Nellie, she said to him ss be was about to leave: "Mr. Tiffany, our new ncholar is quite a trial to me: being wholly bent on mis chief, it is impossible for her to learn much, and at the same time sne is a great hindrance to the others." Mr. Tiffany was satisfied that tho teacher had some cause for complaint, as turnine toward Nellie, though not ap pearing to notice her, be saw her making grimaces which nearly convulsed a few of the older scholars with laughter. Bnt his only reply to Miss Hsnby was: Well, leave the case in my nanus, x will call again soon." The mischievous girl was at tnat mo ment making the learned bachelor an object of ridicule. Not but she thought him polished, handsome, and in every respect worthy of admiration; but ber extreme love of fun and caricature ex ceeded all sense of propriety, so much so that there was no object so grand, or scene or theme so sacred, thst she could not find some ridiculous feature about it. Mark Tiffany did not admire this trait in tho girl's character, and whenever he visited tbe school, which was very often, he spent considerable time at her desk in trying to prevail upon her to become more attentive to her studies. But the mischevions eyes and suppressed laugh ter invariably assured hiin that there was little heed paid to his counsel. Still he could not relinquish his efforts, since there was never a person for whom be had cared as much. After awhile Miss Uanby saw she was not the object of attraction to him she once thought herself; and to witness his unflagging interest and devotion to Nel lie, seemed more than she could endure. So, becoming angry with her one day, she ordered her to take her books and go home, never to return to that school room again. The next time Mr. Tiffany visit? 1 the school he was told of her dis rcissa., and replied, l,You have done very wrong, Miss Hanby," and the frown that confronted her predicted her own dissmitsal as a teacher in tho near fu ture. Feariig this she anxiously asked, "With ur sanction caunot she be re called?'' "I do not give my sanction any such meaure. "You must consider that she was very trying.MrZTiiTany," said the little school mistress tearfully. "No duult," he replied. "Why, tie often laughed right in my face," she continued. "1 rean:d so." "Still she; never was saucy, or obsti nately refuwd to obey me, but was so ptrsLtiint ia Ler fun." "Yes, I uniersUnd it; she has tried my patience in the same way;" then lot king at watch, be said, "I must be gointv G-jod-day, Miss Hanby." After he Lad gone, the look of despair that came into the face of the nsnaily hopeful teacLtr ass noticed by most of Ler scholar. "The little le has stolen his heart fwrn me," thought be, "what is worse, will prevefct nx horn continuing in this M-bocd aft-r this term.

In. Uajes' White House Fortran. A Washington female correspondent of the New York World thus relives her self: . . In the White House hsng only turee portraits of tbe ladies who have roigned there, one of wbioh, the portrait of Mrs. Hayes Cousin Lucy to tbe popuiauou of the great State of Ohio is an ele- fhant of great magnitude and difficulty, 'or many years, perhaps ever, since the White House wa built.an exquisite por trait of Martha Washington was hung in the East Room. It is of extraordinary beauty and by some happy inspiration of the painter (Staurt, I believe) it has an air of grandeur about it that ia sel dom conveyed to canvas. She was in truth a hacghty and beautiful creature, I most nnrepublican carnage, and ner full length portrait looks down in solitary majesty from the walls of the rom which is tbe throne room of the republic With tbe con spicuous bad taste cliarscteriHtio of re formers, the Woman's Temperance Union had a full-length portrait of Mrs. Haves painted, an exact imitation in atti tude, and so on, of Martha Washington, and by some occult doings it was hung likewise in the east room. Now, there is an unwritten law that nobody but Martha Washington shall ornament the east room a law something like the preju dice against the third termand this law had never been infringed. Mrs. Tyler, the wife of the only President who mar ried in office, left a beautiful girlit-h por trait of herself at tbe White House, but bung it modestly in an up-stairs corri dor, from which it bus never been re moved. But as soon as Cousin Lucy left the White House the screaming absurd ity of having her portrait in the east room became- ludicrously apparent. Just in the nick of time a request came that it should be sent some where I forget where to be copied. Here was a way out of a pre dicament, so on it was scut, and if it had met with an irremediable accident an embarrassing stite of affairs might have been avoided. But now comes along the Woman's Temperance Uniou with a bar- faced request to have it placed again in the. East Boom only it will never get there any more, as it never should have been thero at all. It now stands awk wardly balanced against the wall of the Blue Parlor, and when the President passes it he gives a comical look of dis may at the huge, unwieldy thing. The frame is nearly as tall as Trinity church steeple aud nearly as big as the new postoflice, and nobody knows what to do with it. They have got it decently out of the East Boom, which is so much gained. It would make a very good banner for a temperance procession. ferrnonon the Past and the Future.

If so, we hope dat de inorrer will bring clam chow der. If de preseut am full of bilos an' chilblains, an' heart aches, de fucher may be as bright as cut's eyes shiuin' out of a bar'l ou a dark night. Neither look back on de past. It am as much gone as a throe-cent piece paid out for Fourth of July lemonade. Nebber despair of de fucher. When do heart is heaviest, do fire lowest, an' work do skeerceat you may find a lost wallet, or strike some butcher williu' to givecredit. My fren's I am dun.
