Tue Pair of Boots.
Miubune Aubrey occupied with her lina-
liand a large old house in the village of
Daine. The house stood entirely alone,
fit the foot of an immense garden, far
from neighbors, and had no other oecu-
jnnts than. Monsieur and Madame Au
drey, their son, an infant of twelve
tiontli and a domestic, recently admit-
into tlipir rviee. '
One evening in tlio month of Novom
)ier, Madame Aubrey was waiting with
Mine anxiety the return of her husband,
vho had been gno since morning to a
town distant a few miles from JJaine.
His business was to collect a debt, and he
ixpjcted to bring home a largo sum of
Hion.?y, and his wife now remembered,
with a feeling of uneasiness, that she had
Heen him arm himself with a pair of pis
tols. It was about sis o'clock, and Madame
Aubrey went to her chamber accompa
1 icd by the domestic, with the intention
i f .t'ting the little boy to bed. This
ipait unit, large and high, was situated
en ill i second floor, looking into the gar
den, j
Th) night waa a true November night
black and gloomy, with torrents of
run, which beat continually Ttjpon the
windows, i .
Madame Aubrey sat upon a low chair
in the corner of the fire-place, holding
upon her knees the little boy whom she
Vas undressing, while the servant at the
other end of the room, executed certain
orders for her mistress.
The baby hod ceased his laughing play
and had already closed his drowsy eyes.
The mother threw her eyes toward the
cradle to assure herself that all was pre
pared, at this moment the fire blazed
up suddenly and threw a strong light
-niion the bed exposed by the little cur
ta'iu. As Madame Aubrey looked, she
nearly fell from her chair; under the
lied, close to the cradle in which she had
Jieen about to deposit her little child, she
now (eheld two great feet, snoa in coarse
lrogans.
In an instant the sense of her situation
flushed across the mind of the young wo
man as if shown by lightning. . The. hid
den man no doubt was a thief, perhaps an
assassin she was alone, without present
lielp or soon to be expected, for her hus
band was not to return until eight or
nine o'clock, and now it was but a little
past six. What should she do? How
should she defend herself ?
Madame Aubrey had uttered no cry
nhe had not even moved, but .the servant
Making the same discovery, might not
pliow the same prudence.
The thief probably- intended to remain
in his present position until the middle
of the night, then to issue forth and pos
sess himself of the snm brought home by
Monsieur Aubrey.- But if prematurely
discovered, and having no opponents
but two women, would probably make
Jiis escape, first securing their silence by
death. Xlien, who knows but the ser-
elf was an accomplice; sns-
viicious cfruuimtanoeB, hitherto disre
garded, returned with renewed violence
lo the mind of Madame Aubrey.
All these thoughts passed through the
toind of the young mother in less time
than I have occupied in telling. Before
many minutes had entirely passed, she
had decided upon her part in the terri
ble drama. But she must get rid of the
servant.
"You know," said she, without the
least faltering in her voice, .''the dishes
which my husband prefers, and I think
lie will be pleased to find A good supper
ready afrainat tus return. 1 had lorgot-
ten to tell you about it before, but go
now and begin your preparations, nnd
bestow attention upon it."
After some attempts at delay, which
doubled in Madame Aubrey an uneasi
ness which she was obliged to conceal,
the girl quitted the chamber. Her foot'
stops died awav upon the stairs, and
Jier mistress foand herself alone with her
ehild, and those two terrible feet, which,
half seen in the now dying light, seemed
ns immovable as the bedstead itself.
fche still remained sitting near the
C'i nney, with the baby upon her lap,
addressing to him almost mechanically
i-aressing words, and soothing him to
Sleep, while her eyes never wandered
Iroiu the menacing feet. The little fel
low, tired of his position, liegan to cry
for the eradle and- its soothing motion,
but the cradle was close to the alcove,
close to the feet. The young mother
roiiquered herself by a violent effort.
"Come, then my little ehild," she said,
and rising from her ehair, she forced her
loitering steps to be firm, and went to
ward the alcove. Behold her close to the
cnuinons feet! She placed the baity in
t lie cradle, and with a voice which 'all
1 er resolution could hardly keep from
trembling, she commenced to sing her
usual lullaby to the uneonscious child,
and as she sang, the idea was ever in. her
mind that each word might be her last.
At last the boy slept soundly, and the
toother returned to her seat by the fire.
The clock strikes seven. One hour
laore and Madame Aubrey may expect
cieliverance. A deep silence reigned in
ia the chamber. The infant slept peace
fully. The half-hour strikes. The anxious
watcher could have almost sworn that it
fc-as two hours since it struck last, but
no; she knows that the clock is faithful,
and still there is another weary half hour
I of ore she may expect her deliverer.
Madame Aubrey took a book of relig
ious meditations from the chimney-place
cbove her head, and attempted to read.
Viu'n effort! Her eyes wandered contin
ually from the pagel
Eight o'clock sounded, and nobody
had come. The supposition was then
-orrect; the unhappy woman gave herself
lip as lost. She was about to seize her
child and fly from the room, when, a
lioise resounded from the gravel walk
1 -eneath the window. The eager listener
t":id not dare to trust her ears, she had
I een so of ten deceived; but now the door
tolled upon its hinges and then fell
Leavily back in its' place. A well known
fctep gaily ascended the stairs the cham
ber door opened and a man apjicared a
man, handsome, 'strong and vigorous. It
vns he! At that moment, had M. Aubrey
len the ugliest of men, the worst of
1. usbands, he would have assumed ia the
e ves of his wife all the graces, all the
lirt ties imaginable. -
lie had only paused below to take off
liis dripping cloak and lay down his .pis
tols', lie extended his arms and his wife
i uxIkhI into them. But immediately re-
overiug herself she placed one finger on
1 -r lips, and with the other hand pointed
to her feet.
II. Aubrey would not have been worthy
of such a wife, if he had failed in decis
ion or sang froid. He gave a glance at
1 is wife, which said that he understood,
and said aloud:
' "One moment, my darling, and I will
return; I hve left my pocket book down
Blairs, and I must show you my riches."
With these words he left the room, but
in a moment-ifttnrned, holding a pistol
ii his hand. He examined the lock, ap
proached the bed, stooped down , and
vith his left hand seized one of the two
l et, the finger of his right hand resting
oa the trigger of his pistol. , "..-
"Itesist and you are a dead man ! ex
claimed he firmly; : r .
The owner of the feet did not seem dis
Tosed to risk the event. He miflere.1
timselfto be dragged by the foot into!
tlie middle of the room, -where he
crouched before the lmtol pointing at his
head.
On being searched a dagger was found,
newly sharpened, lie confessed that the
servant was his accomplice, and had told
him of the booty which awaited him.-
Nothing remained but to deliver both
to justice. Madame Aubrey, indeed
begged her husband to let them escape,
but tliw public interest demanded the
nacrifice of private lenity, and they were
delivered up. During all the time the
nncontu'ioiiH child Hleut sounuly. Alter
some little time Madame Aubrey related
theeventBof the evening.
"I did not think you had lieen so
brave," said her husband, embracing her.
But in spite of her bravery the events
of that evening brought on a nervous
fever, from which our little heroine did
not recover.
The King of Spain's lew Love.
The Viennese Christina was coy, and
tossed her head impudently when the
Spanish match was proposed to her.
This piiiuid Alfonso, w ho soon became
an ardent suitor, left off sighing over the
likeness of the departed Queen, ind
dwelt with complacency on pleasing
souvenirs of the Archduchess, who had
been a gay and espiegle playmate of his
own when he was a student at the
Theresa College in Vienna. Christina,
who was a year his junior, was at that
time a high-spirited and very frolicsome
little damsel. She once ran a race with
him in some imperial park. The mon
arch in bud was on a bicycle, and tho
young Archduchess on a fleet pony .who,
though tlie velocipede had the wind with
it, came in first at the goal.
The young idea shoots early in sons
and daughters of royal and imperial
houses. Christina, in playing the J um
ber Nip with the exiled son of Isabella,
and romping with him and tormenting
him in various ways, fell in love with
him. It is courtier-like now to speak of
her childish attachment to the King.who
did not till the last six months require
it. - When Alfonso was restored to tho
throne of his mother, the Archduchess
was glad to learn that his most influential
and paternal advisers, the Due de Sestc
among tlie nnniber, opined she would
make an ideal Queen Consort. She dis
covered that the Spanish costume suited
her exactly, and had several sets of
photos done in which she was represent
ed wearing it. On Mercedes being pre
ferred to her, Christina of Hapsburg was
dreadfully nettled. To show that she
resented with proper spirit the indignity,
she declared, when Alfonso proposed for
her, that she would not consent to marry
him until sho had further opportunities
of meeting him and seeing him, and in
sisted that she should asssnme the atti
tnde of a humble suppliant for the fair
hand which he might have taken, but
did not. "If he wants to win me," said
the Archduchess, "let him come and woo
nje. It is his place to court me and not
mine to go and pick up the handkerchief
which he condescends to throw down."
Alfonso, who is brimful of chivalrous de
votion to the fair sex, did not think the
worse of the Archduchess for the airs
she took with his matrimonial agents
at Vienna. He handsomely accepted the
eosditions imposed, and sent word that
were he only to win the Archduchess by
penetrating into the wilds of Central
Asia he would gladly undertake a jour
ney there. I believe it was his intention
to go all the way to Vienna to make her
by word of month an offer, and that he
would have this autumn proceeded there
if the life of the Infanta Pilar had not
been suddenly cut short. The La Oranja
accident happened so unfortunately for
the King that the scandal-mongers to
affirm that design had a predominant part
in it I could not blame them. It molli
fied the vexed Archduchess, and afforded
her a plausible excuse for relenting. She
has been brought by it to travel more
than half the way to Madrid to meet her
royal suitor, whose depressed appear
ance, with his arm in a sling, exeited her
interest led her to treat unpleasant by
gones as such.
And now about the personal appear
ance of Christina of Austria, who would
show a politic spirit in dropping that
name of, in Spain, evil augury, and tak
ing some other. The Archduchess is
tall, slender and harmoniously formed.
Her air is aristocratic. She rides and
dances admirably, and is passionately
fond of horses and brisk exercise. With
out being intellectual she is clever. It
is her settled intention to be mistress at
the Palaeis Ileal. Her willfulness is
tempered with good nature and a dispo
sition to become easily repentent. In
her skin, hair and eyes she is a Haps
burg. The rest of the physiognomy is
Hungarian, and reminds those like Mine.
Von Langsdorff, who knew the crenie of
Viennese society, of the Sandor family.
If Christina's laugh were not pleasant
and communicative, her hair a golden
fleece and her complexion transparent and
beautifully tinted, she would be plain,
for her cheek-bones are prominent, her
nose retrousse and wide at nostril,
and her mouth too much expanded. The
future Queen of Spain has the. Magyar
taste for external sjendor. Her court, if
she can have her way, will be lively and
magnificent, which would suit the pres
ent generation of grandees. ; She is a
very devout Catholic and may le ex
pected to remain one. Her voice is good,
and she can warble with exquisite feeling
a sentimental lied or provoke laughter by
her droll rendering of a comic song. It
will be very nice for Don Alfonso to have
a queenly wife with a gypsy and a gar
comtet side to her laughter.
The future Queen will be introduced
to the Madrelinos on a high holiday. Al
fonso was advised to tie the nuptial knot
at Barcelona, which did not witness his
demonstrations of eternal grief for poor
Mercedes. Christina wishes the cere
mony to take place with the utmost pomp
at M"adrid, and she is to be gratified. Ac
cording to present arrangemens she is to
lie married on Novemlier 1st, or All
Soul's Day. The wedding dinner will
be eaten on the vigil of All Soul's day,
eonsecrated in Roman Catholic States to
those who have died within and without
the pale of the salvation. While the har
monies of bridal music will be lingering
in the air the liells of the churches will
begin to clang out their night-long dirge.
There is always money enough at Mad
rid for amusement and fine displays of
chivalrous gallantry. Alfonso has
magnificently ordered the rooms which
were prepared for Mercedes in his differ
ent palaces to be newly furnished for his
consort that is to be. She will have the
satisfaction of knowing tliat there is not
in her apartments a single object to re
mind the King of her interesting prede
cessor. I dare say the creditors of Spain
will learn to laugh on the wrong side of
their months at this right royal decision,
which, it apjwars, has enhanced the pop
ularity of the King. His subjects say of
it: "What a true Spaniard it proves him
to be. Ours is still a country worthy of
the Cid." London Truth, August WMIi.
Salt fob Poultuv. The question as
to whether salt is injurious to poultry
has often been mooted. To get at the
true facts, I have been feeding salt to all
my poultry, young and old alike, and
closely watching tlie result. I have fed
it in cold mash and in hot; in bran anil
in everything else, all the spring and
summer (so far) with the following re
sult: The poultry will eat all kinds of
salted food in preference to unsalted;
they are better in general health; not a
louse of any kind in young or old, (the
first year I had not Jpen able to say so)
and they are all beginning to moult,
many of tliem laying as though not
moulting. Eggs are cheap now, and the
hens will be ready for laying when the
weather is cold and eggs scarce. This
may or may not be the result of feeding
salt largely to them, bnt I am compelled
to believe this to be so, as are some other
peculiarities. I have noticed one feature
which may not le in favor of salt the
hens have (teemed to be more persistently
inclined to sit, it being very difficult to
break off the inclination; they sit closer
than usual. All seem voraciously fond
of. green food of any kind, and have
eaten a large quantity of clover, grass,
young corn, and other similar food. My
observations lead me to the conclusion
that salt is a needed condiment for all
onr poultry, and in aD points is beneficial
to them, :

he British Land Question.
The people of Great Britain are in no
end of a panic on the subject of Ameri
can competition, and aro willing to be
lieve any cock-and-bull story told them
in regard to our amazing resources.
Thus the London Times has been badly
hoaxed by a letter sent to it from Chi
cago describing the miraculous growth
of that city and the boundless fertile ter
ritory tributary to it. This letter ex
plains that Chicago has 500,000 inhabi
tants; that its population doubles every
five years, and that it is the commercial
capital of a State which is larger than all
England, with ninety per cent, of ite soil
arable, and l,uuu,uuu square miles un
touched by the plow. A contemporary
that is disposed to laugh at the stubborn
insularity of toe Britishers, says that this
Chicago writer "might have doubled his
figures without fear of contradiction at
the office of the terror stricken Times.
He might have saitl with equal probabil
ity that Chicago doubled fortnightly.
He would have been believed (hardly),
and her Majesty's ministers would have
gone down to the Houses of Parliament
prepared to appoint commissions of in
quiry and answer serious questions
in the notice paper." Neverthe
less this panic will be likely to
result in benefit to Great Britain,
for the outcome of it will be
a thorough overhauling of the land ques
tion, and probably very importan t re
forms in the svstem of rent and land
tenure. Mr. John Bright struck the
keynote of public opinion on this sub
ject when he said in Parliament that
there were other causes besides fertile
lands in the United States and cheap
transportation on the Atlantic to make
the iiosition of the British farmers intol
erable. "There are farmers in America,
as von know, ne sain, uo jiyo uit
rent, no tithes, no poor-rate. Yon have
all these. Your laws as they now ore
would make the laborer s copdition per
petual. In America, as a poet has ex
pressed it. 'They till the land who own
the land they till.' This is the great
difference between the land and its culti
vation in America and the land and its
cultivation in this country. He sug
gested, without directly saying it, that if
a commission which was proposed on the
subject did its work it would point out
the necessity of relieving, tho land of
rent, and that done, "a time will come
when you will have homes of comfort
and independence throughout tho land
of England, which will attest forever the
wisdom and blessedness of the new pol
icy you have adopted."
The commission which has loen ap
oointed will be forced to deal with the
question of whether a reduction of rents
is not imperative, and also whether a
change is not needed in the tenure of
land. The Times publishes tlie balance
sheet of a farm of 000 acres of alluvial
river loam, of high fertility and in the
best condition. For three years the
average annual outlay upon this farm
has been $fn,'w exclusive oi "e iarui
er's family expenses, and the annual in

merchants and traders of London, by
long generations spent in toil, have
triven value to the estate of the Gros-
venors, from which the Duke of West
minster derives his princely fortune; yet,
whenever a lease falls in, the Duke
raises the rent on those tradesmen and
merchants to the utmost farthing that

Hie Races of Cyprus.
The two races that inhabit the country
are very distinct typesl ' The Turks are
tall, well built men; generally spared and
active. The creat characteristic that dis
tinguishes them from the Greeks is their
proud bearing, lhey all have a certain
reserved expression on their laces, evi
dentlv thinking well of themselves. They
are not at all fanatical about their relig
ion, and although grjod Moslems, they do
not share in the sterner precepts of the
law of Mahomet. They work better than
tlie Greeks, are more inclined to take an
interest in what is being done, but are
also more independent and less submis
sive under reproof. It is rare to find the
tnrks iuhpspftible; they are generally
very obliging at first. ' Fqr instance I
have been told at a village that every
thing would be provided for nothing;
that I roust accept their politeness, not
only in words of politeness, but really
intending that I should live on tliem,
After refusing such offers, it is strange to
be cheated in the price of barley and
chickens; but it is Turkish and Oriental.
They generally have receding foreheads,
whereas the Greek forehead is straight;
and the dark Nubians and the semi-Nubians
have domed foreheads. They pre
fer white and red striped Manchester
stuffs for their clothes, whereas the
Greeks are almost always dressed in the
blue indigo-dyed stuffs of home manu
facture. They are brave, fearing and
looking up to ho one, making splendid
soldiers, and are peaceful, moderately
honest and industrious. The Greeks are
also fine niade men. They have a mild
and humble expression of countenance,
and are timid. They hide in the villages
as a Government official passes through
without any real cause. They are very
religious, generally going to ehnrcli
evening ami keeping a great number of
saints' dayB, and believing eveyy super
stitions story. They are stupid, and are
bad workers, shirking as much as they
can. They like a shilling a day, but
after two or three days they are inclined
to strike for three shillings. They are
rich enough to lie in tlie sun and do
nothing for a long time, and they object
to working when they become such capi
talists. There are bright exceptions to
this rule energetic Greeks, who are bet
ter sometimes than stupid Turks; bnt tlie
great test of stamina, the keeping at con
tinual steady work, breaks them all
down. They are not nearly so intelli
gent or sueh" good workers as the Maron
ites and Druses of the Lebanon. The
women of both races are not at all pre
possessing; it is rare to see a face even
tolerably good looking, and their figures
and voices are very objectionable. The
luikish women veil their laces, winch is
an advantage. Tho women do a great
deal of manual labor fetching water,
aeeoinpapving their lords to the corn;
they help in everything except plough
ing and sowing. It is odd to see the
parties in the fields reaping, almost al
ways one man to two women, ooin ureex
and Turkish alike, The children are
prettv, some vith flaxen hair and cherub
facesl The Turkish children are not
nearly bo pretty as tlie Greek.-FVof

Coaxed Into a Fortune.
Our town readers know Horace Tyler.
He lias been on the base range ever since
tlie mines were discovered, and his gen
uine manhood is characteristic of the
man. In his chosen occupation of teani
Bter, he has plodded over the dusty high
ways and sandy deserts of eastern Nevada
for fifteen years. He came to the coast a
mere boy, and, in his independent, stur
dy sort "of way, has grappled with for
tune, not aa successfully as some, per
haps, as all his years of toil simply re
sulted in the ownership of a team, and
his wresting a hard livilehood for inces
sant daily labor. He was as honest as
they make 'ein, and that trait was his
pride. Why he left the old home, "way
down in Vermont," is his secret, and he
is stubbornly reticent on that point, sim
ply stating that he came away because he
"hankered after a life on the plains."
Whatever the motive, he betrayed no de
sire to return to his birthplace, despite
the fact, now known, that it was a most
luxurious one, and that every comfort
and pleasure that wealth could command,
was his if he would accept. Sunday
morning, Mr. O. O. Tyler, a cousin of
Horace, arrived from Vermont, charged
with a special mission. He sought out
his relative and announced to him that
he had been sent by Horace's father to
persuade his boy now a bearded man
to come to his home. His parents were
waiting, eager to welcome him, and
praying that his son might listen to his
pleadings. Not only this, but all his
riches a cool 250,000 was at his son's
command on his arrival. The latter in
ducement would have been sufficient
for an ordinary -mortal, but it
did not influence Horace a par
ticle. On the contrary, he was obdu
rate, refused to go, and, despite his cou
sin's entreaties, which lasted from the
time that the train arrived Sunday until it
departed yesterday morning, ho persisted
in his determination, ami bade the em
bassador good-by at the train, still firm
in his resolve. He came lock to town,
curried his horses and fed them, greased
his wagon, and then, falling in with some
friends, related the inoident to them in a
matter-of-fact way, concluding with the
remark that "he ownod that team, didn't
owe much money, and reckoned he could
make a living independent of anybody."
He was met with a storm or remon
stranees. arguments and advioo. This
nolicv on the part of his comrades stag
gereci him. He thought ho was doing
the right thing, but whim they demon
strated to him how unfilial his conduct,
how cruel he was acting in withholding
from his aged father the comfort that his
son's presence would be to his fast de
clining yeors, Horace weakened; he
couldn't stand the upbraiding of his as
sociates, and as a consequence Ii.ureka
loses a good citizen. His cousin was tel
egraphed to at Elko, and instructed to
await Horace's arrival. Yesterday he
sold his team and paid up every cent that
he owed, and this morning departed on
horseback for Elko, where he will join
his relative and proceed on his journey
eastward. Think of it! A rara avis

centric individual that had to be coaxed
or driven into the possession of 250,-

Parrots.
The interesting sketch of the "History
of my Parrot, which Doctor Wilks con
tributes to tlie current number ot the
Journal, of Memphis Science, deserves a
p.issing notice. The comparative study
bf tlie facts of the intercommunication
among men and among animals neeessi
tates the adinissiop that animals possess
1 mguage ; and the mechanism and appara
tus for articulate speech in those animals
which possess it do not differ from those
of a man. A bird learns to speak by imi
tation, through the organs of hearing,
and in a manner never similar to that in
which children learn words and sen
fences, and the bird speaks on special
occasions in consequence of some asso
ciation or suggestion, "the usual pro
vocative for set speeches at all periods of
human life." A new expression, after
having been repeatedly uttered before
the parrot, is practiced by it spontane
ously, mdefatigably working at the sen
tence by itself. At first it is only able to
get out the first word or two, then more
and more, until jt has the power of utter
ing the whole. In just the same way a
child will learn a French sentence. A
sentence is soon lost by the parrot if not
frequently uttered, and the last words are
lost hrst ; the hrst words those most read
ily acquired are lost last. Speech of the
bird on any given occasion is due to sug
gestionthe presence of the person or
object with which the words were first
associated. (Jf this JJr. Wilks gives
several striking instances of "half past
two" whenever the coachman comes for
orders, "go to sleep" when approached
after dark, "give me a bit" when dinner
aj';ears, and "cheese" when the cheese
is put upon the table, a sound like water
being jMiured out whenever a jug of water
is brought in. Thus the bird associates
words or sounds with objects, and wher.
the right names have been taught it,
may be said to know their names; more,
the bird invents names, making a partu:
ular sound, which had never been
taught, whenever nuts were brought
upon the table. The sight of a cat
makes the parrot say "mew," as the
sight of a train makes a child say "puff,
puff." Dr. Wilks concludes by remark
ing that the difference between animals
and children is much slighter than is the
explanation which', on tlie assumpt ion of
instinct in the one case and reason in the
other, we put upon them, and suggests
that the chief difference between man
and animals is to be found in the small
hoss of knowledge of the fine arts pos
sessed by the latter.
Whom Victoria Has Outllnd.
And now she looks back on tho two and
forty years of her reign, what changes
has her majesty seen in the personnel of
her privy council, her parliament and
her cabinet ministers, to say nothing of
her judicial and episcopal bench! She
has outlived every bishop and every
judge whom she found seated on those
benches in England, Scotland and Ire
land. Sho has witnessed the funeral of
every premier who has served under her
excei t J-.ord lieaconsncld and Mr. triad
stone. Not a single cabinet minister of
her uncle and predecessor's days now
survives; and of those who held inferior
offices under her first and favorite pre
mier, Lord Melburne, she can find among
the living only ixinl Halifax (then Mr
Charles Wood) and Lord Howick (now
Lord urey ).
Of the members of the privy council
which sat at Kensington palace on that
bright summer morning in June, lt7,
to administer the oaths to the girlish
queen, I can find in tlie land of the living

uuijr lour inuivuiuais iur. ucur(t a.
Byiug (now Lord Stafford), Lord Robert
Grosvenor (now Lord Ebury),and the
veteran Earl of Wilton.
Indeed, it may be said that her majesty
has lived to receive at court, in very
many, perhaps in most, instances, the
successive wearers of the same coronet,
and she has been four Lords Beauchamp,
four Lords Aberdeen, four Dukes of
Newcastle, four Dukes of Northnniber
land, and five Lords Rodney. She has
received the homage of four Archbishops
of Canterbury, of four Archbishops, of
York, and five Bishops of Chichester,
Litchfield and Durham, mcoesslvely,
Sim lias filled each of the three Chief
Justiceships twice, at least; she has re

How to Teach. Children hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They will
earn with pleasure from tlie lips of people
what would be drudgery to learn from
books; and even if tliey have the misfo'r;
tpne to bp deprived of many educational
advantages, tftey -will grow up intelligent,
if ia childhood thiy hear- daily UitJ con
versation of intelligent people, Hence,
the iwportanee that the teacher should
be an intelligent person. The child comes
home and oay, iWbat do you think my
teacher told us to-day?'' The daily ef
fort of the teacher should be to render
himself fresh and bright, to meet vith
tho young minds that form tho claRs; not
to think, "How shall I repress and bottle
up all the energy?"
Appomattox.
"H. E. H." sends the Boston Herald
the following incident, as related to him
by a gentleman who was attached to the
headquarters of General Lee in the
capacity of Chief Medical Purveyor of
the Army of Northern Virginia:
The remnant of the once proud army
of Northern Virginia, worn out with the
incessant fatigue and privations inci
dental to their late retreat from Peters
burg, lay resting under the shade of the
trees in the neighborhood of the now
famous Appomattox Court House, anx
iously awaiting the return of their much
loved chieftain, who. Borne hours previ
ously, hal gone over to the headquarters
of the Union army to arrange with Gen
eral Graut for the capitulation of the
Southern forces under his command.
There they lay, the heroes of many a
uru lougui Dattie, thinking over the
momentous events of the past four years,
realizing that their labor had been in
vain, that their sufferings and sacrifices
were to count as nought, and looking
with blank dismay into the unpromising
future. A shout is heard, the "rebel
yell" rings out once more, and for the
last time the crowd rushes to the road
side to welcome back their venerable
commander. They call upon him for a
speech. Slowly and sadly turning
toward them, he replies, "I have not to
day the heart to make yon a speech. I
have turned over the army to General
Grant. You will all be allowed to return
to your homes, and I hope you will be
happy there." Dismounting from his
horse, he remained for some time stand
ing under a neighboring tree. His offi
cers, intermingled with men from
the 'ranks, grouped themselves
around him. Some of these
were gray haired men, others mere
boys. One youth, apparently not more
than fifteen, a courier attached to one of
the headquarters, with eyes intently
fixed upon his aged commander, had
sunk upon one knee to rest himself, and
tljus unconsciously assumed an altitude
of silent adoration, tho whole forming a
picturesque group. Few words were
spoken. Silently they looked upon the
man whom thoy had learned to love and
venerate, and with whom they were soon
to part forever. The moment was sad
and solemn, row eyes were dry, and
down the cheeks of Lee himself tears
traveled unrepreasod, for no one in that
nartv cared, or oven thought of conceal
ing tlJo great grief that oppressed their
manly hearts, ihe setting sun shone
full upon them, lingering, as it were, to
bid farewell to the heroic army it had
lighted through many a hard-fought
field, imd upon whom the fates had de
creed Ithat it should never shine agam.
The following anecdote illustrates the
dislike with which General Lee always
regarded any departure from tlie rigid
simplicity which characterized the life
at his headquarters: One of the In
spector Generals, Colonel Murray, was
quite advanced in life, and some friends.
wishing to contribute to his comfort, had
presented him with a cushioned camp
chair, lents had been struck, and tlie
baggage all packed in the wagons, pre
paratory to starting on the day's march;
all except the cushioned chair, in which
the Colonel sat, waiting to join the tien
eral as ho passed. A few moments later
General Lee rode up, regarded the
Colonel for a moment, and then ' quietly
remarked: "Colonel Murray, 1 would
advise you, the next time we start on a
campaign, to bring your center table
with you." It is needless to say that
that chair was never seen again at the
army headquarters.
the Wilting Telegraph.
Cowper's writing telegraph has been
placed on tlie London and Southwestern
Railway, and it works most successfully,
says the Engineer, from Woking to
Waterloo, a distance of 2(ii miles, writ
ing off the messages in ink, one after
the other, in a perfectly legible manner,
whether regular line messages or mes
sages made up in order to give the in
strument more work to do. On some
days more resistance coils of wire have
been introduced into the two line wires,
in order to represent greater distances,
and thus C2 miles and 92 miles have
been worked through in a most satisfac
tory manner, and it only being necessary
in such casos to add a few more cells to
the battery, which in no case was as pow
erful as is very often used on the same
line. The effect of the currents through
the multiplicity of other line wires, in
close proximity to the two in use for the
writing telegraph, was closely observed,
and the enect of induction was so ex-
ceedinglyfcmall as only to produce ocea
sionally a slight roughness in a straight
line when the operator s pencil was quite
stationary, but such effect was hardly
ever perceptible in the writing itself.
and never to affect its legibility. The
fact of this instrument requiring no
cletk to receive the message, translate it.
artd write it down, seems to lie much ap
preciated, as a half dozen such instru
ments may be telegraphing their yards of
messages into one office, without the
least assistance from the clerk, who may,
from time to time, cut off and send out
tlie ready written messages;' so that not
only is the time of calling (as with or
dinary instruments) saved, but the time
of waiting till the clerk can attend at the
other end of the line to receive signals,
which very often amounts to a much long:
er than is required for the whole mes
sage to be transmitted, especially in of:
tices fitted with many instruments.
There ' is also a great advantage
in having an absolute record' "of
what has been sent by the writing tele
graph at the transmitting station. An
other very important feature is the facil
ity with which all that is necessary to
learn to use the instrument may lie found
out in five minutes. Every operation is
exceedingly simple, and there are prac
tically no fine adjustments anywhere
Variation in the power of the battery is
of no importance, as its effect may be
fcvercoihe by simply pushing tlie levers
carrying the springs against which the
needles pull a little further in or out, an
may lie necessary. The pen, which is a
very small glass capillary siphon tube,
is, though of glass, very strong it may
fall several feet on to a bare floor withont
breaking, and is very easily adjusted.
Expert Criticism. "You "are fond of
novel-reading," said Aurelieu Scholl the
other day, as he ' saw the coachman he
had just engaged stow away a formida
ble volume of romance beneath the seat,
"Yes, sir; I have read a gveat many nov

uniform ignorance of their authors as to
the commonest affairs of everyday life.
For instance, here is one story in which
I read: 'The Prince apiieared agitated
on hearing these words, and hailing a
carriage flung himself into it, cast his
purse to the driver and cried. "Drive me

few lines further on I see this: ' Valen
tine resolved once for all to solve the
mystery, and hurrying to the stand
sprang into the first vehicle that pre
sented itself, and flinging her pocket
book to the coachman said, "Follow yon
carriage." ' Now, sir, I have been driv
ing a hack in Paris for forty years, and
I've driven thousands of people all sorts

The Scandals of One Titled Fam
ily. The Earl of Fife, whose death is
noticed by the latest London papers,
owned 252,000 acres, with a rental of
72,000 a year, in Scotland. His family
had been remarkable for its preeminence
in the scandalous chronicles of the day.
One of his daughters is the Marchioness
Townshend, who some three years ago
eloped to Taris with an uncle of Lord
Hath 8, old enough to be her father.
They were pnrsned by' her brother, tlie
present Lord Fife, to Paris, and Lord
Townshend condqned the irregularity.

Wheat Growing la England and America.
The London Economist, which has
been investigating the subject of Ameri
can competiiton with England in agri
culture, has arrived at the conclusion
that American wheat con be produced
cheaper than British wheat, even if the
British farmer had no land rent to pay.
As this journal states the situation,
American wheat is delivered in enormous
quantities in England at forty shillings
per quarter, whereas, at the much high
er prices which have generally prevailed
since the repeal of corn laws, the British
farmer has been barely able to live and
on British products have certainly not
diminished, ' and the British farmer must
be helped somewhere, or succumb to
a comjmtition of wheat sold in his own
help than a reduction being possible;
the conclusion is inevitable, and land
lords must give up some of their in
come. The American farmer in nVlilitinn
his comparative freedom from rents,
which offsets the charges he has to pay
in order to lay down his wheat in Liver
pool, has an advantage which determines
Iheicomrtetitinn in liis fnv.ir in flio eheuii-
jnesa with which he obtains his c.-op.
eThis cheapness may be attributed to tlie
lact that the American farmer operates
upon western lands which are vet virgin.
and do not require to be manured. It
is certain that, acre i lor acre, Ingush
lands require more labor in their culti
vation than tlie soils lof the west. As
the Economist says: 1'An English farm
er, accustomed to irive two or three
horses over a stiff clay1, can scarcely im
agine the ease with which a light plough
runs through the rioh loam of a western
State. Northern Missouri, Minnesota,
the Red River settlement is just being
opened up. A furrow may be drawn for
fifty miles across this alluvial prairie
without meeting a hill, a tree, or a
stone,"
To be sure, the average yield to the
acre is only 20 bushels in the United
states, against 60 in England, but this
fact is not of sufficient importance to off
set other advantages.

Nelly Gn ant's Motheb-in-Law. Mrs,
Edward Sartoris was a lady lietter known
to an older generation as Adelaide Kem
ble, a daughter of Charles Kemble the
brother of John Philip Kemble by his
wife Marie Therese, a clever actress of
Viennese birth and French descent, who
began life on the stage as a danxeuse.
Adelaide Kemble was the youngest sister
of Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble Butler and
of John Mitchell Kemble, one of the
most eminent of Anglo-Saxon scholars
and historians, who died in 1857, leaving
his great work on the "Saxons in Eng
land" unfinished. Adelaide Kemble,
who wes gifted with singnlar beauty and
with a voice of exquisite quality and rare
compass, very early in life became an
operatic artiste, and on the stage of
Covent Garden Theater during her brief
bnt triumphant career as a prima donna
won great distinc tion by her dramatic
force as well as by her vocal endowments
and her artistic training. The best judges
of the day pronounced Pasta to lie her
only superior in the role of Norma. . She
married while still very young Edward
Sartoris, the son of a Greek merchant
established in France, who had married
in England and who had purchased prop
erty there, and retiring from the stage
became one of tlie recognized leaders, of
the most brilliant and intellectual if not
the most fashionable society in' London.
A few years before her son's marriage tc
the daughter of President Grant, she had
contributed in serial form to one of the
English magazines some charming papers

Early Iron Makino is England. In
the' reign of Edward III. iron was so
scarce that the pots, spits and frying
pans of the royal kitchen were classed
among the King's jewels. Up to the end
of the fifteenth century, English iron
was not only dearer but inferior to that
manufactured on the continent. During
the fifteenth, century, the manufacture of
iron liegan to lie extonsi' e in Sussex,
where the ore and timber for smelting it
abounded, and iron mills soon became
numerous in the country: The landed
proprietors pntered into the business
eagorly, and not only were many ancient
houses enriched thereby, but several new
men acquired wealth and founded fami
lies. In the forest of Dean also, where wood
was plentiful, iron was largely smelted.
The land, however, soon became denud
ed of trees in consequence of the exclu
sive use of charcoal for smelting; people
were alarmed, and many tlicts were ful
minated restricting the manufacture' of
iron.' Eventually the feeling became so
strong that fron the time of the restora
tion the irom manufacture of England
rapidly declined. Coal was known, but
there was a prejudice against its use on
account of its supposed pestilential quali
ties. Coal, moreover, as then used, in
juriously affected the quality of the iron,
and it was not till the beginning of the
8th century that the first real steps for
overcoming the difficulty was takep.
Neatness. Neatness ia a personal
quality, and belongs to refinement of
olioracter. Cleanliness is something an
other can do for you ; tlie laundress, the
barber, the tailor, the bootblack, cham
bermaid and housemaid may keep you
immaculately clean. Bnt this is not a
moral quality. Many children are kept
clean by two, three or more suite a day,
making a vast amount of work for others,
but not educating the children to be neat
in any sense a life long disadvantage to
every child so treated. Teach your child
ren to keep their clothes, their hands and
faces clean, to be neat in habit, to avoid,
making any unnecessary work, ad wq
have givtm them a passport to the high
est aooiety, developed a quality that will
insure refinement and delicacy, and the
highest consideration for others; the ele
ment of a true gentleman or lady.
Sheltered Orchards. Many writers
advise the selection of a sheltered spot
for an orchard, and some have even ad
vised the planting of a belt of quick
growing forest trees in such a position
that it will screen the orchard from high
winds. A Maine farmer says: "Were I
to plant an orchard, and had two loca
tions,; one in a valley surrounded by hills
except on the south side, and the other
on a high" elevation, exposed to, itigh,
winds, I would choose the latter in prW-
erenoe to the former. The same holds
good as regards peach orchards. The
great object is to keep back the blooming
as long as possible, and this can be best
done in northern exposures, withqrjt
sljelter." . ' .'"'

Eni'CATi.NG Houses. Horses an be ed
ucated to the extent of their understand
ing as well as children, and can be easily
damaged or ruined by bad management.
It is believed that the gre.it difference
found in horses as to habits of reliability
comes more from the different manage
ment of men than from the variance of
natural disposition in the animals. Horses
with mettle are more easily educated than
those of less or dull spirits, and are more
susceptible to ill-training, and consequent
ly may be as good or bad, according to
the education they receive. Horses with
dull spirits are not by any means proof
against bad management, for in them may
often be found the most provoking ob
stinacy, vicious habits of different char
acter that render them almost entirely
worthless. Could the coming generation
of horses in this country be kept from
their days of colthood to the age of five
years in the hands of good, careful man
agers there would be seen a vast difference
iu the general character of the noble
animals.
If a colt is never allowed to get an ad
vantage it will never k,noy that it pos
sesses a power that man cannot control,
and if male familiar with strange oojects
it wLl not be skittish and nervous. If a
horse is made accustomed from its early
days to have objects bit on his heels, back
and hips, ho will pay no attention to the
giving out of harness or of a wagou run
ning against him at an unexpected mo
ment . gun can be fired, from the back
of a horse, an umbrella held over his
head, a buffalo rche thrown over his neck,
a railroad engine pass close by, his heels
bumped with sticks, and the animal takn
it all as a natmal condition of things, if
only taught b careful management that
he will net be injured thereby. There is
a great need of iinproveinent in the man
agement of this noble animal: less beutin?
$nd more of education. In Door and Out..

Johnston & Hqlden, of this city4
have been appointed agents for a ma
chine for the manufacture of gas, which
reduces the price of; that article to about
one-half of the present cost. This ma
chine is designed for lighting isolated
buildings or those situated beyond the
reach of tho gas mains. It is very sim
ple in its arrangement and requires but
little skill to manage it. The machine is
perfectly safe, as no fire is required in
its manufacture, and the gas made is of a
pure, white color that does not injure
the eyes. Johnston & Holden have hod
twenty years' experience in California
and Oregon in erecting gas machines,
and they state that the Springfield Gs
Machine is the most perfect of any they
have ever had any knowledge of. These
gentlemen are practical plumbers of
