HOW THE SCXDAY SCHOOL CHILDBEN AT
TEMPTED TO ILLUSTRATE SOME INCI
' L' - DENTS IX THE LIFE OP JOSEPH.
The First Reformed Method ist
Church of 13rownsville, 111., had been
painted with a strawberry festival, car
2eted with a fair, and lighted with a
concert. It thus happened that, when
it was desired to supply the Sunday
school with a library, no method of rais
ing the necessary funds suggested itself
to the congregation. The idea of sub
scribing money was so directly at vari
ance with modern ecclesiastical practice
that it was obviously not to be thought
of. In this emergency the pupils of the
Sunday school undertook themselves to
secure the needed money by giving an
entertainment of the sort known in Wes
tern circles as "tabblows." There was a
novelty in the proposal of an entertain
ment originated and managed entirely
by children, and its financial success
seemed so probable that -the children
wera unanimously thauked and urged to
go on in their good work.
O Even now, after the affair is all over,
no one doubt3 that the children meant
well. The theory indignantly broached
by an irasible Deacoj that some wicked
person attached to the opposition Bap
tist Church had fieridishly lured the
children into a path certain to end in
disaster, is no longer credited. Wher
the leading boys of the Sunday School
promised the pastor that their tableaux
would be confined exclusively to Old
Testement subjects, it was felt that the
entertainment could not fail to be en
tirely unobjectionable, and, though the
boys judgment in the end proved to be
at fault, of the rectitude of their inten
tions there can be no honest doubt.
When the audience assembled, and
learned from the programme that the en
tertainment would begin with "Incidents
in the Life of Joseph," there was a gen
eral feeling of delight and satisfaction.
The story of Joseph has such a tine
gypsy, camping-out flavor that it has al
ways commanded the admiration of the
young. Those children who took no
part in the tableaux were charmed with
the prospect of seeing Joseph cast into
the pit, and the grown people among
the audience were quite touched with
the thought that the character of Joseph
commanded so much respect in the Sun
day School as to have his name placed
at the head of the programme. So, after
the choir had sung the opening chorus,
the lifting, or rather the pulling aside
of the curtain was awaited with pleasing
impatience.
The first scene represented Joseph in
the act of going to school, clad in his
coat of many colors. With a happy com
bination of patriotism and realism, the
coat was made of the American flag, and,
- in point of colors and general gorgeous
ness, was all the most exacting admirer
of Joseph could ask. The small boy
who personated the youthf ul patriarch
was of grave and earnest countenance,
and he carried his school books with
the air of one to whom base ball and
lishing presented no attractions, and
who was utterly incapable of entertain
ing the bare idea of jilaying "hooky."
Of course the children meant well, and
that fact ought never to have been for
an instant forgotten. No one in the au
dience foresaw the terrible catastrophe
which was to prematurely terminate the
representation of Joseph's career, and
hence it is absurd to say that the chil
dren themselves foresaw it. It was a
sad, sad business, as the event showed;
but the disappointment of the children
ought to have saved them from a sneer
ing misconstruction of their motives.
The second scene exhibited Joseph in
the grasp of his unnecessary quantity of
0 brothers, who were about to hurl him
into a yawning pit, the pit being repre
sented by Deacon Smith's family pew.
This scene excited the enthusiasm of
the juvenile part of the audience, who
clamof ously insisted upon its rejetition,
and loudly suggested plans by which
Joseph could "lay out the whole bilin'
of 'em," and avoid the impending fate.
There were, of course, those who regret
ed that Joseph was not bodily flung into
o the pit, but it was well under stood that a
"tablow has got to stand still," and that
this limitation forbade the actual fling
ing of Joseph or anyone else.
The small boys who represented Joseph
and his brethern enjoyed the perform
ance quite as much as did the audience;
only a heartless person could imagine
they intended to deliberately ruin their
own entertainment. Undoubtedly they
had their faults, but they were young,
innocent, and animated by the "best of
motives. Indeed, so far from blaming
them, they deserve our tender sympathy.
The sale of Joseph to the Ismaelites
ccmstituts.l the third scene. The Ish
maelites had their faces blackened with
burnt cork, and wore their jackets
turned insido out. Carping critics
found fault with these details, and said
they tended to confound the ancient Ish
maelites with modern minstrels; but the
majority of the audience was perfectly
satisfied. The conduct of one of Jos
eph's brothers who was shown in the act
of biting a fifty-cent pieco, just received
in payment for Joseph, in order to test
its genuineness, was especially applaud
ed, and it was generally admitted that
this little incident displayed a high de
gree of histrionic power on the part of
the brother in question.
Four succeeding scenes were each
thoroughly successful; and the parents
of Joseph, of his brothers, and the lead
ing Egyptians, were so dejighted with
" their children that they mentally re
solved to take an early opportunity to
express their feelings in candy. It was
HDt until the eighth incident in Joseph's
life was placed on the stage that this
parental satisfaction was changed to
amazement and horror, and the perform
ance broke up in disorder and dismay.
The children had confidently expected
that the eighth incident would be more
loudly applauded than any other. They
h.wl done their very best to make it effec
tive. Joseph had even gone so far as to
tear the skirts of his coat, and the boy
who had borrowed his sister's garment
in order
Bat why go into details? There was
a grave mistake made, and cannot
now be unmade. Whether the occasion
0 warranted eleven maiden ladies of ad
vanced years in fainting on the spot, or
eighteen middle-aged men in dragging
their families precipitately out of the
0 church and in demanding" the return of
their money at the door, may perhaps
ie doubted; but there was certainly no
excuse for the unseemly haste with
which the Sunday School Superinten
dent leaped on the stage, boxed Joseph's
ears and publicly promised a most tre-
menuous wmppiDg to air. I'otiphar,
who was the Superintendent's own son.
and who was waiting with a large horse
pistol to take part in the next scene.
Of course, all Brownsville rang -with the
affair next day, and it is intimated that
from twelve to fifteen boys held painful
interviews with their respective fathers
in the wood shed before going to bed
that night. But that the children
meant well ought to bo conceded. If
they were indiscreet, they have terribly
expiated their error, and if the affair
leads to the purchase of a Sundav
School library without the aid of a pre
vious show of any kind, perhaps Browns
ville will have no cause to regret the
failure of the tableaux.
Take the Baby.
Oh! yes take the baby along by all
means. Babies love dearly to ride in
cars, and toddle about in steamboats.
Why, the baby is the life of the party.
Have not wholo rooms full of people
been entertained by one hour after
hour? Sleeping or waking, the pretty
little creature, that can lisp a little En
glish or French one can hardly tell
which is the uuiversal delight, and
many a party has been stupid just for
the want of one. In olden times, when
they used to journey in stagas, a lady
who had a sweet little child with her
could scarcely eall it her own the
whole way, the gentlemen were so fond
of carrying, keeping and kissing it.
Even the bachelors loved to play with
and dandle it on their knees, though at
first they might bo a little bashful, and
awkward in taking hold of the strange
and unaccustomed thing. But the smiles
and winning ways of the baby were al
ways irresistible, and sure to overcome
at last the most obstinate. People love
babies as they do flowers. Gentlemen
especially, who like flowers, like babies
the sweetest of them all to carry in
their hands just as they would put a
carnation m their button-holes.
How babies and butterflies do swarm
in summer to be sure. It is then they
are on the wing. Pray, do not try to
keep tliem from nying about and alight
ing here and there when sometimes
strikes their fancy, opening and shutting
their nanus and wiugs awhile, then flit
ting away again. Ye that have babies,
do not go pleasuring without them.
Better leave your purse behind, it. will
bo less missed. The light of your eyes
will be quenched, and your tpngue will
miss its inspiration. "Whatra literally
everlasting topic is the baby. She does
this, she did that, Baby laughed in her
sleep! Her mother docs believe it was
because she saw something which one so
lately from the skies could only behold.
Baby can say this word, and hides away
sometimes from her mamma, though all
but her nose and eyes are in plain sight.
Ye who have no baby ! get the lawful
ownership of one as soon as possible.
Y'ou don't know what a fountain of pure
felicity it is. The baby is tho light and
joy of the whole house. The sweetest
little creature is the brightest jewel in
your cabinet, and ornamental to your
drawing-room; the choicest garland in
your garden; most inexhaustible of en
tertaining company. Tliersis no soli
tude where a baby is. Care and trouble
disappear at the approach of the laugh
ing little child. She is choroform to
your anxieties, and exhilarating gas to
your pleasure.
Mr. Wimple Agrees to Let His Boy
Go to the Circus.
"Pa," said Mr. Wimple's boy the
other day, pretending to hunt behind
tho counter for his ball, while in reality
he was stowing his pockets full of pea
nuts, " Pa," mayn't I go to the circus,
when it comes ? Say, pa, mayn 1 1 V
"Well, my son " said the parent, with

As the young scamp sidled out of the
backdoor to hide the bulge in his north
erly pantaloons pockets, Mr. AYiniple
turned to a little group of a lmiring cus
tomers and explained his sentiments.

Uxxecessakilx Seveke. A man hold
ing a large cylindrical machine between
his knees attracted considerable atten
tion in a " depot" car the other day.
An old gentleman who had been talking
about the war cast hia eye on it and
said:
" Let 'em ko ahead with their iron
clads; some Y'ankee'll invent a torpedo
that'll fix 'em. You see."
Instantly the man with the cylinder
became the center of attraction.
" Ain't loaded, is she?-' said a lank
countryman, giving it a rap with his
homey knuckles that would have explod
ed a twenty-fonr-pounder, and causing
a nervous man to hastily seek the rear
platform.
" An invention of yours, my friend ?"
said a bald-headed man with spectacles,
on the opposite seat, bending over
curiously, in which he was joined by his
neighbors.
"Waal, not edzackly," said the man
with the cylinder, tugging at the top
of it until the curiosity of the whole car
was aroused.
" I'm an agent for it," he continued,
as he pulled off the cover. " It's Jen

certainly justifiable, but jamming' the

How tho Tides are Fro laced.
There has alwavs been a difficulty in
the minds of teachers, as well as in the
minds of learners, to comprehend the
theory of the tides as presented in our
text-books. This theory fails to give a
satisfactory account of the cause of the
tides on the side of the earth most re
mote from the sun and the moon. Ac
cording to this theory, at that part of
the earth's surface " which is turned
away from the moon or from the sun, a
less amount of attraction is felt by her
waters than anywhere else ou her sur
face; and the whole earth is therefore,
in effect, drawn away from the waters
on the far side of her, aud thus, the wa
ter being left behind, a tide in produc
ed on this side, a3 well a3 on the side at
which the force of gravity acts directly.
That so great an absurdity could have
been accepted so long by our writers of
text-books is truly marvelous. It is,
indeed, so contrary to all known facts
and laws of physics, that, if no other in
fluence wero felt by the waters at the
far side of the earth than attraction,
there would be just the opposite effect
produced to that alleged by this absurd
hypothesis. This can be demonstrated
by an actual experiment, and as conclu
sively a3 any other fact coming within
the reach of experimental philosophy.
It has been proved experimentally that
all bodies on the surface of the earth at
midnight are heavier than at any hour
of the twenty-four; and that when the
new moon occurs at midnight this in
crease of weight or gravity felt by mat
ter on this part of the surface of the
earth is still greater. Xow, if this
theory were correct, attraction would
produce just the opposite effect; that
is, matter would weigh less at midnight
than at other hours of the twenty-four.
On the side of the earth facing the sun
and moon, the weight of bodies is di
minished, as it should be, according to
the theory which I propose to estab
lish in this article. Foptlr Science

Ax Ingenious Map. About the 1st
of January, 1876". Prof. Hitchcock, of
the Geological Survey, and his assistants
began the construction of.a raised map
of New Hampshire, the design of which
was to combine all the present knowl
edge of the geography of the State
which had been obtained in the geolog
ical survey made by Prof. Huntington,
Prof. Hitchcock and others. This
map has just been completed, and on
Tuesday was placed in the State House.
The map is fourteen feet ten inches
long, representing one hundred and
seventy-eight miles in length (being
constructed on a scale of one mile to the
inch) and ninety-three miles in width,
from the mouth of the Piscataqna river
to the northwest corner of Hinsdale,
showing the entire surface of the State,
nine thousand three hundred and thirty-six
square miles. It also shows all
the livers and brooks, ponds and lakes,
hills and mountains, and the town and
county lines, railroaJp, etc. The names
of all cities and towns, rivers and
principal brooks, lakes and ponds,
mountains and high'elevations, are giv
en conspicuously, so that any one can
find at a glance what they desire to look
up. The height of the hills and moun
tains is given on a scale of one inch to
one thousand feet, and actual measure
ments are given when known.
Tho map is constructed of pine and
bass wood, and the process of the work
was this: A map was first draAvu on pa
per of the same size as the raised map,
with all the lines of towns, streams,
ponds, etc., and contour lines for each
five hundred feet wero drawn. Trac
ings of the contour lines wore mado on
incli layers of piue and bass boards,
maintaining as accurately as possible
tfzo relative size and shape. Those are
fastened upon each other, and the val
leys are bevelled out with chisels.

Struggle Betweex a Boa axd a
Bull Dog. A correspondent in Sung
hie Ujyug, writing under date of April
10th, gives the following account of a
remarkable encounter between a boa
fifteen feet long and a bull dog. The
boa had been confined in a cage for
some days, but having been disposed of
to a Chinese doctor for its gall, to be
used as a medicine, he was hauled out
of the cage on the ICth, to be taken
awaj'. "The boa was immediately at
tacked by the dog, who had formerly
had a passage of arms with him. For
some time the boa was quiet, and only
now and then mad a snap. The dog
ot hold at last, and seized the snake
by the head, but the tables were soon
turned. In an instant tho boa caught
the dog by the upper lip and held firmly
on, tho dog backing vainly and trying
to get away. In less than half a minute
the whole of the snake's body had en
folded tho dog iu so el'so an embrace
that the hta-l only could bts stem. Be
fore choppers could be procure!, blood
was gushing from the dog's mouth, and
I heard his bones give one crack, and
it was only by chopping the boa to
pieces that we saved the dog. I found
on examination that the boa has very
strong, sharp, recurved teeth, not only
in the jaws, but also in the palate
bones, which accounts for tho dog be
ing unablo to extricate himself in the
first instance, for the teeth being like
the 'Vacune beeche' of South Africa,
the more he struggled backward the
tighter he was held by the boa. I may
add for the information of the friends
of the dog that he is none the worse for
his squeeze."
Around the Would is Foetv-six
Weeks. Mr. Brassey and his family
arrived at Hastings on May 2(3, in the
yacht Sunbeam, after traversing 30,000
miles under steam and canvas and mak
a trip around the world. The voyage
occupied forty-six weeks. As soon as
the vessel hove in sight two naval gigs,
manned by the local royal naval artillery
volunteers, rowed off to her and heart
ily cheered the ship's arrival. The men
clambered up the shrouds aud jumped
on board to offer congratulations. The
Brasseys, father and son, have built
railroads in all parts of the world and
amassed an immense fortune. Commo
dore anderbilt, who was somewhat in
terested in railroad development during
the latter part of his career, once went
to Europe in his own carriage, and" that
carriage was the finest steamship then
afloat, and when he returned his first
greetings were paid to his aged mother
at her house on Staten Island. The
younger Brassey has made a similar voy
age under his own colors, and the mem
bers of the naval corps that was founded
by him were the first to welcome him
home.

A Suier2 Blood Depurcut.
Upon the action of the kidneys, blad
der and bowels depends the depuration of the
blood. It is by promoting the activity of these
organs that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ensures
parity to the circulation. In its passage through
the kidiieys, impurities which beget rheumatism,
gout and gravel are strained from the blood, but
when those small but all important organs grow
inactive, these impurities of course remain, and
inevitably produce the diseases mentioned. 11 os
tet tor's liitters rouse the kidneys to renewed ac
tivity, bv which means the blood is depurated.
It likewise purifies the blood when contaminated
with bile by promoting a gentle but effectual
action of the bowtls, aud has the further effect
of regulating the action of the liver, thus coun
teracting a U ndency to biliousness. Dyspepsia,
malarial fevc rs and urinary complaints are also
conquerc d by it.

THE COMMERCIAL HOTEL, SAK" FHANCXSCO.
Twenty-six years ago a native of Brooklyn, Xew York, inaugurated a LoUl in this city. It
was opened in June, 1851, and, with filial devotion to the city of his nativity, Mr. John Kellv, Jr.,
tho gentleman in question, christened it the "Brooklyn." Time brings changes and sometimes
feasant ones.
It is therefore a matter of congratulation to be able to announce that Mr. John
welly has advanced with the times, and moved
agon of modern hosttlrks, "The Commercial ll-jU l. 11ns new buildiDg, which has come into
existence simultaneously with the birth of Montgomery Avenue, is the most perfectly arranged
hotel in tho city. Everything which the American mind connects with the idea of comfort is
there. The silent eleva'tor, the softly carpeted halls, the fountain in one of the rotundas, the pri
vate laundry, barber's shop, billiard" rooms, and perfectly ventilated parlors aie all there. The
electric bell is to be found throughout the house, and there is not a dark room in the whole es
tablishment. An irregular space, almost a pentagem iu form, lias been left vacant in the cmter
of the building, so that the most modest visitor and the wealthiest knant have tin ir equal si me
of God's free light aud air. The cost of living at tne Commercial is a new era iu California l.t
tel life. For two dollars a day the guest is as well accommodated as he could be at any firbt-cluss
house for double the money, and the richness of the furniture challenges comjx tifio;i with any
caravansary between New York and Kan Francisco. Jt is not necessary to detcribe the tndlo'n
variety of reps and silks with which the hotel is upholstered, or to dilate on the ricLness of the
highly carved black walnut bureaus, bedsteads, mirrors and bvft'it. The building anel furniture
cost over 5300,000, and the utmost good taste is united to tLis" lavish expenditure-. The dining
room is about 90x40 feet, anel is lit by nine chandeli.-rs and naini rous side lights. The parler ia
magnificently carpeted and ablaze with cut-glass chandeliers, t; mbling with legions of diamond
hued pendants. There are 175 rooms in the house, any one of which is lit for the beht gentle
man in the land. Circular rotunelas, surrounded by a carved balustrade, keep the ventilation of
the lofty halls perfect, whilst they add to the light aiid cheei fulness of the various rtagex. The
range in the Kitchen cost !f 2,700, and is capable of providing a banque t for 5L0 persons." Ele
gant statues occupy tho niches in the main stair-ease, and gas euestu!s are placed in the "center
of the lower floor directly under the rotunda. The carpeting of the hotel is the richest probably
in t e city, and there is an air of comfort about the Commercial Jfotl which can be better felt
than defined. It only neeeled to bo known that ' Ktlly of the Broe-klvn " was running the ne w
houi to insure its immediate prosperity. It tills a bill in this cttv long desired, but as yet never
accomplished. Under the management of Mr. John Kelly, Jr., the Comnurei.-d attords a pala
tial home for men of moderate means who se k the comforts of a lirst-elass t stablishment unal
lieel with the mammoth charges of lirst-class houses.
