The Boys of My Childhood.

belonged that is to say, who were
orn in the lat years of the last century.
or the earliest of this were brought up
under a system of discipline which put
tar greater distance between parents
and their children than now exists. The
parents seemed to think this necessary
in order to secure obedience. They were
believers in the old maxim that famil
iarity breeds contempt. My own par
ents lived in the hous'e with my grand
father on the mother's side. 3Iy grand
father was a disciplinarian of the stricter
sort, and I can hardly find words to ex
press the awe in which I stood of mm
an awe so great as almost to prevent any
thing like affection on my part, although
he was in the main Kind, ana certainly
never thought of being severe beyond
what was necessary to maintain a proper
degree of order in the family.
The other lxvs in that part of the
country, my school-m ites and play-fel
lows, were educated on the same system.
Yet there were at that time some indi
cations that thi very severe discipline
was beginning to relax. Vith my la
ther and mother I was on much
easier terms than with my granu-
father. If a favor was to be asked of
my grandfither, it was asked with fear
and trembling; the request was post
poned to the last moment, and then
made with hesitation and blushes and a
confused utterance.
One of the means of keeping the boys
of ttiat generation in order was a bundle
f birchen rod-, bound together by a small
cord, and generally suspended on a nail
uiust the wall in the kitchen. lhn
1 1
was esteemed as muca a pare 01 trie
necessary furniture as the crane that
hung in the kitchen fire-place, or the
shovel and tong. It sometimes hap-
ened that the boy sutfered a fate
imilar to that of the eagle in the fable,
wounded by an arrow fledged with a
feather from his own wing; in other
words, the boy was made to gather the
twi;s intended for his own castigation.
It has never been quite clear to me
why the birch was chosen above all oth
er trees of the wood to yield its twigs for
this purpose. The beech ot our forests
produces sprays as slender, as flexible,
and as tough; and farmers, whenever the
eech is common, cut its long and pliant
branches for driving oxen. Yet the use
of birchen rods for the correction of
children is of very greit antiquity. In
his "Discourse on i orest Trees," written
three hundred years ago, Evelyn speaks
of birchen twirs as an implement of the
school-master; and Loudon, in his "Ar
boretum, goes yet farther back, lie
says: "ine bircn lias been used as me
instrument of correction in schools from
the earliest aes." The English poets of
the last century make frequent mention
of this use of birchen twigs; but in Lou
don's time, whose book was published
thirty years since, he remarks that the
use t these rods, both in schools and
private families was fast passing away-

England and the United States may well
be congratulated for the birchen rod
was. in my time, even more freely used
in the school than in the household.-

A Singular Character.
Among the recent deaths I have to
note the demise of M. Gagne, one of the
most singular characters of the century.
lie was a crazy man, and yet there was a
irreat deal of good sense in him. Hav
ing a fortune and a fine chateau, M.
Gigne began to write for humanity
Everything that he wrote was in verse-
machine poetry. His letters to the jour
nals were written in what is called poe
try that is, there was some jingle and
an occasional rhyme. He wrote a poem
often thousand lines, called the "Uni-
tiede," and I remember only that he said
that journalism was corruption and ras
cality and all the journalists criminals of
the deeiKJst dye. 1 et for forty years M
Gagne sent his p&meg to the press, aver
aging one a day during the period,
though he frequently sent off four or five
a day. He pretended to write in verse
as rapidly as in prose, and addressed all
the journals; but, ot course, his verses
were rarely published. Now and then a
few lines would be picked out and put
in print. But up to the last he continued
the habit of sending his verses to all the
papers, as regularly as if they gave them
publicity. Some teii years ago he took it
in his head to write a "universal gram
mar." The idea was this: Take the
word "have" German, haben; French,
avoir. Now, the root of this word in
nearly all languages was "av," according
to M. Gagne, and "av" was "have" in the
universal language. Being a man of
large fortune, M. Gagne was only laughed
at in a mild way; but he would have
been sent to Charenton had he been poor.
He was charitable, kindly, and eminent
ly Christian in his sentiments, and he
did so many good works toward the last
that people stopped laughing at M.
Gagne. His last idea was to write the
history of philosophy in verse, embrac
ing a million of rhymes. Cor. AT. F.

Indian Couriers. It is wonderful
how rapidly news is transmitted among
the Indians, and it is in the accomplish
ment of this work they fchow the most
wonderful power of endurance. News is
received that i3 important which should
go to some distant tribe or village.and one
or more Indians prepare for the work. A
feast is made, and they eat and dance,
eating as much as a dozen white men
would eat. They call on their neigh
bors and eat again, and continue danc
ing and eating until nature, exhausted,
forces sleep. After sleeping a few hours
they eat again, and are then ready for
business. They mount the fleetest po
nies in the camp, and then start off, rid
ing day and night, without food, for five
days sometimes. Arriving at their des
tination, they state the news, and anoth
er round of feasting and dancing com
mences, to be followed perhaps by a
tramp of several hundred miles nioro in
another direction with the news to anoth
er tribe. By these couriers every move
ment of the United States army is re
ported, and long before any command
reaches their vicinity all the tribes of
Indians will be apprised, not only of the
approach of the army, but also of its
strength.

HOPS. The situation of our market re
mains unchanged; buyer and sellers differ
ing widely in their views. Trade at a com
plete standstill. The following report from
the Coopertown Journal, dated Nov. 30th, it
in all respect so applicable to our market at
this period, that we give it in full, and invite
our reader to note well the contents:
Growers who sold early in the season are to
be congratulated, for they obtained high
prices, and are relieved from all anxiety, and
many of them from debt. Those who still
hold their Hops may possibly obtain the
prices which have ruled for the past week,
but the chance are against it. The brewing
business i depressed; manufacturer buy
only to supply weekly needs; the export de
maud i limited, while we still have at least
30,000 bales to spare. Whether they will all
be wauled or not at price above 30 cent for
choice, depeuds largely upon peace being
maintained in Europe. A general war there
would be likely to lessen the demand and se
riously depress prices here. About ftO.OOO
bale have been sold of thi Fall' crop, and
there are say s5,0Od bales still in the hands
of the growers of thi country. There is
very little doing in the local market. No re
sponsible dealer care to buy on speculation,
and order are few and for very limited
amount. Should the war cloud lift in
Europe by the settlement of the vexed East
ern question, and the Presidential question
be early and satisfactorily settled in this
country, we may look for a more active mar
kcl for Hop; but we regret to have to add
that we think the highest price for the crop
bf l7tt have already been realized.

Percheron Horses.
We take rdeasure in calline the attention
of stock breeder to the fact that Mr. A.
sackrider, the enterprising importer or Nor
man or Percheron horses, 1 again in San
Francisco with six stallions of that wonder
ful race of horses, a portion of which are for
sale. The name Percheron is derived from
the fact that they are mainlvbred and reared
In the ancient province of La Perche, a dis
trict situated to the south and west of Paris.
The history of this race of horses ia some,
what obscure, but it is generally conceded
that they spuing from a cross between the
fine Barb and Arab steeds, introduced Into
the country by the Saracens, under the fam
ous chief Abderame, and the large, strong
native mares of that region. The return of
the crusaders, bringing with them some of
the finest of Arabian stallions, made another
nfusion of oriental blood to the already
splendid stock of La Perche. Let their pedi
gree be what it may, the rercneron is unue
niably the finest specimen of the horse kind
for beautv. strength, endurance and speed
combined that the world ha ever seen. Mr.
Sackrider' horses are at the Record Stables
on Market street, opposite Seventh, S. F.

Reasons Why.
The reasons why Dr. Price' Flavoring Ex
tracts, Lemon, Vanilla, etc., are superior to
all other 1 because they are prepared from
choice selected fruits and aromatic without
coloring or poisonous oils, all the flavoring
principles are relumed unchanged by chemi
cal action, highly concentrated, requiring
less to flavor.
