The aud death of a little girl, whic occurred recently, ahowa what strong impression these "boogerH" make on the minda of children. The little girl waa a beautiful child, and everyone at the fasbionablo boarding-house where her parent were spending the summer months loved her with that purity of affection which a child so gently yet so atrongly inspires. Klin would stand at the gute and clap her little hands in glee when her father cunie to dinner and when ho would take her on his shoulder, sho would shout and cull to everyone to look how high she was One day a lurgo, shaggy dog eumo into the yard, and when she-ran to him and held a Mower to his nose, ho growlei and turned away. She was terribly frightened, and tlio Muck nurse, who stood near, was not slow in muking a men tul note of the impression the dog had made. (Several nights afterwards, when bed time came, tlio child was un usually wakeful.. "Yer'd liettcr come heuh an' git in dis uel, the n 11 r ho commanded. "I don't wont to." "All right, den.

Nestled close by the saloon at Grand J orks, ih the very heart of the peaks of tho Kierras, was tho homo of Henry Miller, a brother of Joaouin Miller. He had a very sensiblo woman for a wife, who More him a beautiful son. When the child was three weeks old. Mr. Miller, in a waggish way, told the "boys ho had "struck it rich, and Jiad at that very time a nugget at his house that weighed twelve pounds. If anv of them doubted his word, Miey could call at the house at any time and bo con Tineed. In a few minutes a delegation of miners filed out of the saloon and made a striglit line for Miller's homo. They were very courteously received by Mrs. Miller, who listened to the story of their errand, and with a twinkle in her eyes, concluded to keep up the joke. The speaker of the party lie gan: "They toll ns, Mrs. Miller, that your husband lias struck it rich." "Indeed he has," replied Mrs. Mil ler. "Has he pro-empted his claim?" I think lie certainly has." "What price does he ask for his minor" "I really don't think he would take a cool million for it." "Is tho specimen very fine?" "Indeed, it is more precious than dia monds to me." "Let ns see it, will you?" "Certainly," said Mrs. Miller, as she advanced to the eradle and lifted ont a handsome twelve-pound boy, and exhib ited it to the astonished gaze of the good-hearted but puulcd miners. They took the joke very good-naturedly, and laughing heartily left the house without a Tory ceremonious leave-taking. Mack ay, the millionaire, waa one of the duped miuera. riSH SOT BR.

It was the night of Vera Anson's sec ond ball, and the lights glittered on fair and graoiout women and handsome, haughty men, as the young heiress, with a warm flush on her cheek, and the liuht that "ne'er was seen on hind or sea" within her diiifky eyes, laid her hand upon the arm of the young man with whom she had been dancing, and allowed him to lead her into the con servatory. There in the dim light i, with odor and bloom ubout her, she listened to the story, so old so old, yet, like the buds of spring, Vver flesh uud fair to tho heart of youth. Sho was so young, so fair and trust ing thut a ring of true passion camo into the man's low voice as he spoke woids he had spoken to so many will ing ears in his years of manhood, and, for a moment, a warm thrill shot through the world-crusted heart as he bent to take his betrothal kiss from the ripe, quivering lips of this duinty darl ing of the house of Anson. "My promised wife!" he said in the low, tender tones of a lover; "my beau tiful love I you have made me very, very happy. Kay that you are happy, too; that it is in my power to make you so, and it shall le the one study of my life to keep your life unclouded !" What wus that tender child in the hands of this finished man of the world? (She never dreamed that but for hor father's wealth she would have received from him but the careless courtesy given oa account of her wonderful beauty, which, great as it was, could nover liavo touched the heart of the man whose arm was around her. They went bock to the dancers, her eyes w ild with a shy, sweot gladness, his with a glow of triumph. Tho gay revel came to an ond.ond Clarke Anson, at the sido of his beloved and only child, beut his proud head to the lust deporting guest, thou, turning to Vera, ho drew her young form to him ten derly, gazed long upon her fresh young beauty, kissed her on the lip aid cheek and forehead, and let her go. She laughed as she ran lightly up the stairs, and looked back, still with the light lnugh upon her lips, when she reached tho corridor above. Her father stood w here she had left him, his eyes upon her, one hand lying upon his bosom, his grand head uplifted as though in haughty pride, and so, for the lust time, Vera Anson sow the liv ing face of her father. When morning broke they found him in'his study, white and cold, lying back in his chair, one hand, from which the pen had fallen, hanging lifeless at his side, ft hrif-fliiished pago oo tho desk before linn. Vera', grief was terrible but silent. Light and life faded frtm the sweet, young face, leaving it like marble; and when sho was told that she was not onlv deoi'ived of tho lovinir ntrent who had been almost an idol to her, hut also y -- - tt i . that sho did not own the vorv pictures on mo wans oi nor oia iiomo, era Air son learned the reason why in her deso latum Howard Lawrence, the man who had professed love to her, had not brought her the value of even a kindly word. And then tlio womanhood of which there had been so fair a proniiso froze to ice, and she vowed that never oiiain should man become to her more than a pastime. Howard Lawreuce had wandered over half tl.o world sinco that night of six years before, when his lips had breathed such warm, but lying words, to the fair young daughter of the dead bankrupt. And now, finding time hanging heavy on his hands, he had accompanied one of his so-culled friends to tho ball given by Madame Itosino, tho talented singer, who had, it was said, a nieco w hose voico was equal to her beauty, and who hail driven half l'aris mad with admiration. A faint feeling of curiosity stolo over tho young man, as ho was led lv his companion through tho elegant salon. On every hand were the evidences o, wealth and refinement, and the guest were certainly of the creme of l'aris. I am anxious to see the Roddess. lie said to his friend, an evident curios itf in his eyes thoso topaz-tinted eyes, that had thrilled so many women in the days gono by I "Look, she is passinirl" whispered the friend, and Howard Lawronce turned gracefully, but laxily, to lose, in an instant, his indifference and hold his breath, as though he had found himself suddenly before a shrine. 1 ho most beautiful woman he had over seen was crossing tho room on the arm of a man whose name was a power in l'aris; her dress of amber, shot with wine, touched lnrf hand as sho went by; her diamonds Hashed in the gaslight, uut her dark eyes were brighter; and, as they lifted for ono moment to his own, ho felt as though a chuiu had been Hung about him, and ho w as caiv- uve. Her cheek and brow were white as marble, and her delicate lips rich with dewy, crimson bloom ; her head, carried like a queen's, w as weighted w ith coils of dusky hair; her form was slender and willowy, every movement one of grace. Half an hour later, and Howard was bending before the queenly beauty, his voice full of real pleading as he liegged her for a dance. She took his homatro as a right, and wove, as the night went y, tho spell about him. thread after thread and fold alter fold, and when the morning broko, Howard Lawrence knew that for the first time, many as he had wooed, the heart ho had thought too calm for love had learned the esson. Week after w eek he lingered inTaris. hunting any sjot in which he might meet tho beautiful niece of Mmo.Uosine, and tho gay French Eallants took the deep devotion of the stranger for the talented singer for a jest, but to the wo moot interested it was no meet sub ject for laughter, for the black eyes would flash forth a glance of almost flame, the white hands would clasp to gether passionately, and a sudden curve of haughty scorn would niiir tho delicate beauty of the scarlet lip. At length the final moment came, in vhYh, with leatiiiff pulso and trem l.i: i; vol.e, l'.oasrj La.ucuco told the storrof his love; tho singer, sitting silent and bold, heard him to the very end, and when, overcome by his fear, he sank to his knees at her feet and lagged for her love as for his very life, ahe sprang to her feet and drew from the reach of his hand. , "Have not tho gay people of Funs told yen that I am a cold ond heartless woman ?" sho asked. "A woman whom it would be madness to love? have they not told you that in my smile is no warmth, in my lioom no heart?" 'Hut you ore human," he replied; "yo.i cannot be utterly without feeling, and I love you so well, so truly I 1 w ould be your slave any thing 1 Only lie kind to me. I am nearly mad witli tho love vou have wakened I' "Let me tell you that which may prove to you how truly the people of France have spoken when they told vou I was hard and cold! Let mo slow you how tho falsehood of one man has destroyed all feeling in a heart once too warm and tonder! like, the tale is long!" lie n ii to his feet and stood facing her, his handsome face as white as death, his eyes darkened with emotion. "I was the petted child of a wealthy father," she said, her voice coldly clear. "All things, the best of lifo, were showered on mo by that father's hand, and my girlhood was joyous as a dream, when into it stole tho first faint shadow of love." Ho winced visibly, but the clear voice went on : 'My lover was handsome as a god. courtly and polished. He won the heart of the trusting girl, giving nothing nothing in exchunge cove a few low low words, a few tendi r hand-clasps, a few false vows! When the girl stool above the body of her dead father, and learned that sho must fuce the world alone to earn her daily bread, the love that was lifo to her wus not near to cheer or comfort; when one touch of her lover's hand would have been to her more than untold gold, she found that she had leaned upon a reed, and a bitter ness that surpasses death was her por ioul Homeless, her young heart torn by pain and wrong, she left tho scenes that mockod her, and fortune, in the shape of Mine, ltosine, found her and folded her in luxury, but not until the girl hod made a vow to make of men but lastimo to tuke their hearts, as one lud taken hers, and break them with out mercv. "I am known as Vera Rosino. I am tlie adopted - niece of madume, but in time gone I was the only child of Clarke Anson ! To your hand I lay the ruin of my youth, the chill of my heart, the agony w hich pride has overcome I Do vou still plead lor the love you tram plea?" "I do on my knees I" he cried, kneeling before her. Hut, with a proud bitter smile she turned away and glided from tho room, trailing the sheen of her silken robo from li t do ;puiring sight. The noxt morning gave I'uris gay, giddy, laughing runs a now tragedy over which to shrug its shoulder and make a jo it; for the stranger, whoso idolutry of the singer hud Wen so great a cause for laughter, w as found dead at his hotel, with a bullet wound in his forehead; and on the sumo night, while lighted candles shed a soft radi ance on tho beauty of his dead fuce, tho clear voico of tho singer rung grandly on tho ears of the careless peoplo of I'uris, who Hung a shower of odorous compliments at the feet . of the woman who had forgotten how to feel. The Third Greatest Diamond. Deir.orcst'i Monthly. Mr. Feter Ithodes has found a dia mond in South Africa which enjoys the proud distinction of being a "paragon gem." It weighs a hundred and fifty carats. It exceeds in dimensions tho" Koh i- noor," tho "Star of the South,'' tho "Uegent," or "Fitt," tho "Austrian" aud "Sanoy" jewols, and in purity of water it is reported to rival the "ltogout," the finest of all those notable gems. It is iuferior in size to the "Orloff," belong ing to tho Russian czar, which weighs one hundred and ninety carats; then there is said to be a diamond in Borneo still uncut, which weighs four hundred carats, But Mr. Ithodes has a white elephant. His gem is so enormously costly that there is no market for it, Ihere is no monaroh in tho market to buy it, and its cost is so great that it would impoverish the millionairo who might wish to possess it. Behind the Age. Chicago Tribune. The truth about our colleges, not only in the matter of this Greek language humbug, but in regard to thoir educational courses generally, is, that they are entirely behind the age, Instead of advancing with civilization, they have boon a drag to it While the world has been advancing they have been at a standstill. The system pur sued in our American colleges at this time is almost the same as that pur sued in England, France, Germany, Italy and spam when Columbus first discovered America. Greek and other dead languages havo tlio'samo place iu tho curriculum now that they had then. Tho study of tho dead languages was well enough in those days, w hen there was little else to learn. Haw It 11 apprised.

The sense of sight it not the only sense affected as an icelierg is ap proached. There is a sensible lowering of temperature. Uut to the natural heat sense ihis cooling is not so obvious or so readily and quickly appreciated that it could be trusted instead of the outlook of the watcb. The heut sense of science, however, is so much keener thut it could indicate the presence of an iceberg at a distance far beyond that over w hich the keenest eye could detect an iceberg at night; perhaps even an isolated iceberg could be detected when fur beyond the range of ordinary eyesight in the day time. Not only so, but an instru ment like the thermopile, or the more delicate heat measures of Edison and Langley, can readily be made to give automatic notice of its sensations (so to speak). As those who have heard Frof. Tyndall'a lectures any time dur ing the lust twenty years know, the in dex of a scientific heat measurer moves freely either in response either to gain or Ws of heat, or, as we should ordi narily say, in response either to heat or cold. An index which thus moves can be made, as by closing or breaking elec trical contact, or in other ways, to give very effective indication of the neigh borhood of danger. It wuuld be easy to devise half a dozen ways in which a heat indicator f which is of necessity a cold indicator), ui I ably placed in the bows of a ship, r mid note as it were, the'presenceof an iceberg fully a quarter of a mile away, and speak of its sensations much more loudly and effectively than the watch .can proclaim the sight of an iceberg when much nearer at hand. The move ment of the index could set a fog-horn lustily announcing tho approach of dan ger; could illuminate tho bhip if need be, by setting at work the forces neces sary for instantaneous olectric lighting, could signal the engineer to stop and reverse the engines, or even stop and reverse' the engines automatically. Whether so much would be necessary whether those among lost Atlantic steamships which have been destroyed, as many have boen, by striking upon icebergs, could only have been saved by such rapid automntic measures as these, may or may not be the case; but that the use of the infinitely keen perception which the sense organs of science pos sess for heat aud cold would be a feasi ble way of obtaining much earlier and much more effective notice of danger from icebergs than the best watch can give, no one who knows the power of science in this direction can doubt. Mr. Alexander Hamilton. Ben: Perley Pooro. Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, tho widow of the founder of our financial system, passed a good portion of the lutter part of her lifo at Washington, and finally died there. She was the first to introduce ice cream at the national metropolis, and she used to relate, with rare humor, the delight displayed by Fresident Jackson when he first tasted it. Ho liked it much, and swore "by the Fiernal" that he would have ices at tho White House. The guests at the next reception were agreeably surprised with this delicacy, especially thoso from tho rural districts, who, after approaching it suspiciously, melting each spoonful with their breath before consuming it, expre882d their satisfaction by eating all that could be provided. Mrs. Hamilton was very much trou bled by the pamphlet which her hus band had published w hen secretarv of the treasury, in which he avowed an intrigue with the wife of one of his clerks, to exculpate himself from a charge that he had permitted this clerk to speculate on the action of the treas ury department. Mrs. Hamilton for some years paid dealers in second-hand bocks $5 a copy for every copy of this pamphlet which they brought her. One year the number presented was un usually lurre, ond s o ovidently ascer tained 'bet a cunning dealer in old books in N'ew York had had Mie pam phlet lepiin'ed, and was teliing her copies a.', 5i each.

Prentice Mulford The "district school" of the period was unwholesomcly crowded iu winter. It commenced in the morning with a long prayer and generally ended at night with a succession of cowhidings. Most of the teachers were from Con-, necticut and generally dyspeptic or consumptive. A "box stove," burning wood, heated the apartment, all aglow at one moment and cold the next Water for driuking was brought in at intervals in a pail, passed around and drunk out of a tin dipper. The un painted desks were cut, hacked and ink-stained from the arduous efforts of generations of school-boys. Dried spit balls were flattened on the walls. Tho big boys chewed tobacco and the marks of missiles of this description might also be seen promi nent on the ceiling. The odor of a country school in full blast seemed compounded of ink and unwashed juve niles. Ihere was no system or grada tion of text books, save at the will of the teacher, and school-book publishers had not learned the art of making for tunes through an innumerable series of readers and writing books. One duty of the master was to make or mend the quill pens for the whole school, a work of no small proportions.' School was dismisses! with an uproar. It was like the bursting of a huge bomb filled with tmys. They scramblesl over desks and benches without order or discipline. Half an hour after the weary master had flogged the three worst boys, "kept after Bchool, he emerged from the seeno of educational torture, went to his boarding-house and received what nutriment he could from the thin 0 o'clock tea of the period. On our seventh rwKe to-davwill be found a striking and instructive illustration of the comparative worth of the various kinds of baking powders now in Ike market. FINE STABLE FITTINGS. Aristocratic lltrms Feedl" Knantelrd Trsogha. N'ew Ycri Sun. A Sun reporter, on entering a store in Chaml rs street the other day, saw several clean, bright stalls at the end of the establishment furthest from the door. The sun streaming through the window, made innumerable bars, scrolls, and odd bits of fancy work in polished brass flash back its rays upon a large painted horse's head and tho figure of a jockey, who held an iron ring iu his hand. On the walls were large dia grams. "This," said a clerk, pointing to the lorgest of the diagrams, "is a plan showing a complete stable yard, with accommodations for twelve horses, and embracing two stables, with four stulls in each, and ono stable, compris ing four loose boxes; besides these a sink box, washing box, harness room, coach house, fodder room, washing shed, and tool compartment. If a cus tomer likes that plan we can carry it out for him from the foundation to the weather vane. If ho wants a smaller stable yard, a single stall, or only a sin gle fixing, we cau supply him. Our largest trade is in stable fixings, and we find we can show off our novel ties in that line by converting our store into a miniature stable. We have everything belonging to a well equipped modorn stable here except ing a live horse. We've got something like a live horse, for if you just look up you'll see those two fine horses' heads. They're figureheads to go over stable doors, or to ornament the exte rior of the stable building, like the terra cotta dogs' heads on tho Yonder bilt stables." "I supposo such stalls as these are only for aristocratic horses?" "That's about it. I can tell you that thousands of horses are better housed than hundreds of thousands of peoplo. There are men who wouldn't give a poor man a cent w ho will provide every luxury for their horses. We've fitted up stalls with brass fixings that would adorn the finest mansion in the land. There's a Btable at New llof helle where every stall has a magnificent pier glass, and the horse can see himself, and beautiful stained glass windows. Yisitors to the place spend most of their timo looking at the stable." A Triumph of Mrienee.
