A very fair singer M Mynheer Sehwop,
Except that he NEVER knew when to stop ;
He would sing, and ning, and *ng away,
And aing half the night and all of the day
This " pretty bit " and that " aweet air,"
This "little thing from Tootovere."
Ah ! it wa* fearful the number he knew.
And fearful hi* way of ainging them through.
At first, the people would kindly aay :
•• Ah. *ing It again. Mynheer, we pray
fThia " pretty hit," and that "tweet air."
Thi* " little thing from Tootovere. "1
They listened a while, hot weaned toon.
And, like the professor, they changed their
tnne.
Vainly they coughed and a-hnmmed and stirred .
Only the harder be trilled nd slurred.
I'n til, in despair, and rather than grieve
The willing profeasor, they took their learr.
And loft him singing thi* " tweet air,''
And that " pretty hit from Tootovere ."
And then the hoeteta, in sorry plight.
While yet he aang with all hi* might,
I*>t down the blind*, put ont the light.
With " thank* Mynheer ' gooJ-uight .' good

The fls'iKlx r ■■ Kiprew
More than a hundred year* ago the
ureal country east of Germany, known a*
Russia, was ruled by the Empress Anne.
It is a very cold country and the winter
is very long. The capital is St. Peters
burg. and through it the river Neva
runs. This r: ver freezes in winter, and
the iee is frequently so solid that it will
bear an army of several thousand men
with all their heavy guns and martars,
and these be discharged withont so
much as cracking the iee.
At the close of the year 1739, during
au extremely cold winter, the empress
ordered one of her architects to build an
ice palace. The great square in front of
the royal palace was chosen for its site.
Blocks of the clearest ice were selected,
carefully measured, and even ornament
ed with architectural designs. They
were raised with cranes and carefully
placed in position, and were cemented
together by the pouring of water over
them. The water soon froze and made
the blocks one solid wall of ice. The
palace wa* fifty-six feet long, seventeen
and one-half feet wide, aud twenty-one
feet high. Can you imagine anything
more Iteautiful than such a building
made of transparent ice and sparkling in
the sun ?
It was surrounded bv a balustrade,
!>ehmd which were plooed six ice cannon
•n csrriages. These cannon were
exactly like real metal ones, and were
*o hard and solid that powder could be
fired in them. Tlie charge used wa*
a quarter of a pound of powder and a
l*all of oakum. At the first trial of the
cannon an iron ball was used. The em
press with all her court was present,
and the ball was fired. It pierced a
plank two inches thick at a distance of
sixty feet.
Besides these six cannon in front of
the palace, there were two mortars which
carried iron balls weighing eighty
pounds with a charge of one-quarter of
a pound of powder. Then, too, there
were two ice dolphins, from whose
months a flame of burning naptha was
thrown at night with most beautiful
effect. Between the cannon and dol
phins, in front of the palace, there was
a balustrade of ice ornamented with
square pillars. Along the top of the
palace there wa* a gallery and a balus
trade which was ornamented with round
halls. In the center of this stood four
lieautifnl ice statues.
The frames of the doors and windows
were painted green to imitate marble.
There were two entrances to the palace,
■>n opposite aides, leading into a square
vestibule which had four windows. All
the windows were made of perfectly
transparent ice, and at night thev were
hnug with linen shades on which gro
tesque figures were painted, and ilium- j
Inated by a great number of candles.
Before entering the jialace one na
turally stopped to admire the pots of
flowers on the balustrade, and the
orange trees on whose branches birds
were perching. Think of the labor and j
patience required to make such perfect
imitations of nature in ice !
Standing in the vestibule, facing one
entrance and having another behind, '
<ne could sec a door on either hand.
Ijet a* imagine ourselves in the room on
the left. It is a sleeping-room appar
ently, but if you stop to think that every
article in it is made of ice yon will
hardly care to spend a night there ; and
yet it ia said that two persons actually
slept on the bed there for an entire
night. On one aide is a toilet-table.
Over it hangs a mirror, on each side of
which are candelabra with ice candles.
Sometimes at night these candles were
lit by being dipped in naptha. On the
table is a watch-pocket, and a variety of
vases, boxes, and ornaments of curious
and beautiful design. At the other side of
the room we see the bed hung with cur
tains, furnished with sheets and a cover
lid and two pillows, on which are placed
two night-caps. By the side of the bed
on a foot-stool are two pairs of slippers.
Opposite the bed is the fireplace which
is beautifally carved and ornamented.
In the grate lie sticks of wood also
ma le of ice, which are sometimes lighted
like the candles by having naptha
poured over them.
The opposite room is a dining-room.
In the center stands a table on which is
a clock of most wonderful workmanship.
The ice used is so transparent that all j
the wheels and works*are visible. On
each side of this table two beantifully
carved sofas are placed, and in the cor
ners of the room there are statues. On
one sides we see a sideboard covered
with a variety of ornaments. We open
the doors and find inside a tea-set,
glasses and plates which contain a
variety of fruits and vegetables, all
made of ioe but painted in imitation of
nature.
Let us now go throngh the opposite
door and notice the other carious things
outside the palace. At each end of the
balustrade we see a pyramid with an
opening in each side like the dial of a
clock. Thqso pyramids are hollow, and
at night a man stands inside of them and
exhibits illuminated pictures at the
grand openings.
Perhaps the greatest curiosity of all is
the life-Like elephant at the right of the
palace. On' his back sits a Persian hold
ing a battle-axe, and by his side stand
two men as large as life. The elephant, ,
too. is hollow, and is so constructed that
in the daytime a stream of water is
thrown from his trunk to a height of
twenty-four feet, and at night a flame of
burning naptha. In addition to this, the
wonderful animal is so arranged that
from time to time he utters the most
unnatural cries. This is done by means :
of pipes into which air is forced.
On the left of the palace istands a
small bouse, bnilt of ronnd blocks of ioe
resembling. Jogs, interlaced one with
This is the bath-house, with- ,
ont which no Russian establishment is
complete. This bath-house was actually
lieated and used on several occasions. '
, When this wonderful ice-palace woe
completed it was throw® open to the I
public, anvl ench crowd* curaa to nec it
that sentinel* were stationed in the
hooM to pnrail disorder.
Thi* beautiful palace stood from the
lieginniugof J ami err until the end of
March. Then, aa the weather became
wanner, it began to melt on the aoutti
aide ; but even after it loat ita beauty
and aymmetry aa a palace it did not
become entirely uaeleaa, for tlie largo*t
block* of ice were transferred to ttie ice
houaea of the imperial jHtlaeo, and tluia
afforded graceful refreshment during the
aumnuT, a* well aa a olcaaaut reminder

Once there waa a man wlioae life had
! lieen ajient in "going West." Ilia
father ami mother moved from New
England to Michigan when he waa a
baby, and settled an miles from any
neighbor. But before the farm was atl
cleans I, other settler* came, and the
family moved on.
" Dou't want to be crowded," the old
man aaid. " 1 heard a rirtc and an ax
that waau't mine, yesterday."
And he went further au.t further West
every year, till by tlie time the boy l'ui
telling you of waa a grown-up man they
had got clear to the west part of Oregon,
and the Pacific coast. And as the old
man couldn't move West any further
without getting into tlie oeoau, and
neighbor* hail moved withiu two miles
of him, he gave it up, weut to bed nick,
and died.
" 'Tain t uo uae," he said, " they're
bound to crowd an old man outer the
world. 1 can't a bear to tech elbows
with folks, uo how."
And so he died, with his nearest
neighbor two miles away.
Rut I was going to tell yon of his son's
scrape with' a hear. They built their
first log house at the bait of a hill ; hut
it was *o low aud damp that James—for
that was his name started to build a big
ger one higher up, half a mile off, uear
a mountain brook, with graud old trees
around tlie spot, and a fine view of the
' country. He took off the two front
wheels of the old immigrant wagon that
thev had crossed the great plains in, aud
• male htm a goxl strong two-wheeled
cart, with s box on it. Aud in this he
drew liack and fourth liia carpenter tools
and his dinner aud chips for the fire,
over a rough road that he had cut
through the woods.
He used to take a little nap after his
noondav meal, and one dav while he was
1 sleeping on a splendid boil of evergreen
boughs that he hat! fixed near the tim
ber* he was at work on, he was wakened
bv a loud rattling of the tm dishes in
his cart. He looked around quickly,
aud what do you suppose he saw ? A
, J big black bear jiawmg over the luncheou
i he had left, and smacking his chops
over a piece of wild houev and some
> corn-cakes that James hadn't eaten up.
" This is a pretty fix," said James to
himself, quick as a flash. "My ride
and ax are both in the cart, and that
ugly beaut would claw me to pieces be
fore f could get 'em out."
He was afraid the bear would chase
. him if he ran, and corner him if he
staved, and so he set his wits to work to
find away out of the scrape. Good
bright wits are too much for a bear, or
a ban! lessou, or a tough job of any sort,
if they are only kept at work with uo
•' I can't,"or, "I don't want to, "car "O,
dear !" to hinder them. It didn't take
James' wits so long as I have
been telling it to you to make a plan
for him.
He jumped to his feet quick as a flash,-
grabbed the tongue of the cart before
the boar could say Jack Robinson—if he
hail known how—and started ou a keen
run down hill, drawing the cart aud the
bear in it after him.
"Well, I s'pose there never was a
bear so asleniahed since the pair saved
from the flood stepped out from Noah's
ark and found the world drowned. He
had nyver hail a ride before, and didn't
i want one now ; but the cart was going
! so fast that he daren't jump out, and so"
he just clung on, and looked ont from
one side to the other, and fairly howled
as the cart bumped over the roots and
stones. James had been to the city
once and seen the street cars, and when
he found he had the bear caught, the
fun of the thing made him laugh.
When the bear roared once, he hallooed
back, " All full inside—take the next
car!" And when the bear gave a ter
rific bowl, he said, " Move up to the
front, please—anddon't grumble. This
ia a through car—git up there !" and he
ran just the way the car drivers make
the horses do when they are late, and
pretend they don't see a little boy cross
ing his fingers for "em to stop on the
crossing. The tin dish- in the bottom
part of the cart rattled like a peddler's
wagon on the pavement; the ax and gun
bounced on the bear's toes, and he
looked as if he didn't know which was
tlie worst—his mad or his scare.
Down the steep hill James ran,
straight for the comer of his log-house.
He had his plans all made, and as he
turned the comer, he ran the cart
against a log and tipped it right over,
with Master Bear on the under side. His
other rifle hung over the door, in the
house, and he grabbed it down in a
i hnrry, and as tlie bear struck his head
from under the cart, he shot him be
tween the eyes, saying : "There, that
settles the question/'
" What question ?" asked his wife,
who came running out to see what the
, noise meant.
" Why, the question whether I had
caught a lieor or he hat! canhtg me."
" Mercy sakes !" she said, a* she saw
■ the dead bear. Then he told her the
story, and she kissed him, and laughed
and cried at the same time. And he
bad an overcoat made of the skin, to re
, member the time when he " gave a bear
a free ride."
Suirllf ml the Derr.
A friend of mine who has been in the
habit of bunting deer in the Adirondack
mountains, is of the opinion that the
deer is often more than a match for the
dog in sagacity. Tlie deer seems to be
well aware tiiat the dog is guided by his
faculty of soent in tracking him ;* and
all the deer's efforts are directed to baf
: fling and thwarting this keen and won
derful sense with which the dog is
gifted.
With this purpose, the deer will often
make enormons leaps, or run around in
a circle so as to confuse and puzzle his
pursuers. He will mount a stone wall,
' and ran along it for some diatanee, well
i aware that the dog cannot scent him so
well on the rock as on the grass. If he
can find a pond or stream of water, the
deer will plunge in and swim a long dis
-1 tance, so that the dogs may loose his
j trail.
It is a joyful sound to the poor, hunt
ed deer when the dog* send up that sail,
dismal howl, which they give utterance
to when they have lost all scent of the
deer, and despair of finding it He ia
then a happy deer. He hides quietly
n some covert among the bnahes, anil
he will take care to place himself where
the wind will carry ail odors of his Ixxly
away from the direction where he sup
poses the dogn to be.
So you see the deer is by no means a
stupid animal. He knows better than
many a little boy how to take care of
himself aud get out of the way of danger.
From a correspondent in Springfield,
Mo., I have a letter, in which the writer
says : " I suppose the Boston boys don't
have deers for pets. I have a young one
named Billy, and he cats corn out of
my pocket When I come home from
school he always runs to meet me. Al
though he can jump over fences, he
never tries to run away. He wears a
collar with a bell on it; so we can hear
him when he is down in the orchard eat
, ing apples, of which he seems to be very
fond. Uncle Charle *, in Nurncry,
A SHOWEB OF PINE BAKE.— The Ral
eigh (N. C.) Neu> of a late issue says :
"We are informed by eve-witnesse* of
; the oocurrence, that on Tuesday last, in
the afternoon, about two o'clock a great
| quantity of pieces of pine bark fell in
|and around a yard in this city. The
| fragments of bark appeared to have
been violently torn from the trees. Many
! of them were of the size of one's hand.
I The pieces of falling bark might be seen
, at a great height in the air—as much as
: 200 or 300 feet. The puzzled viewers
! of this curious shower could give no ex
planation of the cause of the occur
rence."

A Living Heath.
In lite various work* describing *#v |
age life, and the harliantio* attending it,
| wliieli it liaa been our fortune to read in
the course of the last few years, we have
' met with nothiug more truly horrible
1 than the following aeoonnt of the foti*li -
like erueltie* practiced by the Kaffir*
' I toward* their own race and kindred,
' < The details are giveu by ('apt. King, of
' the British arinv, who took a prominent
' part in the lab' Kaffir war After giving
* several instance* of butchery toward*
r such of the soldier* ** were unfortunate
enough to fall into their hand*, ('apt.
; King say*: "When a chief or a great
man of a tril>e is seized with sickness,
the ' witch-doctor,' with forma and ill
1 cantations, diHinis some |xor wretch to
* death, on preteuee of hi* having lx<-
r witched the ailing man. Hi* flix-ka and
a herd* are forfeited to the ohief, and hi*
r children left beggar* and fatherless.
1 One instance may suffice to give an idea
e of their savage ferocity, and spare tlie
repetition of outrages on the poor sot
■l tUrs, or those unhappy enough to fall
x iuto their hands. Tlie son of a cluef
named Macomo having fallen sick, a
t • witch doctor ' wa*,according to custom,
a consulted, to ascertain tlie individual
y under whose evil influence he was stif
, fenng: and, a* usual, a man of property
.1 was selected and Ooudenilied to forfeit
r ; his life for his alleged crime. To pre
1 ! veut hi* being told of liia fate by his
* j friends, a party of tuen left Macutuo's
~ kraal early in the morning to entire the
reoovcrv of the atck young chief by
e murdering one of hts father's subjects,
e ! Tlie day selected for the Kaon floe ap
s | peared to have lx<eu a sort of gala day
i with the unconscious victim; he was in
t j his kraal, had just slaughtered one of
j his cattle, and wa* merrily contain plat
s iug the convivialities of the day before
r him, over which he waa about to preside,
t The arrival of a |>artv of men from the
r 'great place' gave him no other concern
than aa to what part of the animal he
r should offer them as his guests. In a
* moment, however, the ruthless party
e seized him in his knial. When he found
t himself secured with a rheim around his
t nook, he calmly said, It is my misfor
-1 tune to te caught unarmed, or it should
.1 j not le thus.' He was then ordered to
e imxluee the matter with which he had
s iN'witohod the sou of his chief. He re
t i plied, • I have uo bewitching matter;
t but destroy me quickly if my chief ha*
j consented to mv death.' Hts oxecutiuu
* ers said they must torture bim until he
* produced it; to which he replied, 'Save
i yourselves the trouble, for torture as
you will I cannot produce what I have
1 not.' He was then held down on the
i ground, and several men proceeded to
pierce his laxly all over with Kaffir
i ueedlce. Tlie miserable victim bore
i j this with extraordinary resolution- his
t 1 tormeutor* finally tiriug. and complain
. 1 ing of the pain it gave their hands, and
of the ueedlee or skewers beudiug.
> During this time a fire had Ixxm kindled,
. in which large flat stones were placed to
1 heat. Tlie man wa* then directed to
. rise, and they pointed out to him the
fire, telling iiim it wa* for his future
. torture, unless he produced the bewitch
. ing matter. He answered, * I told you
, the truth, when I told you to save your
[ self the trouble. As for the hot stone*.
I can bear them, for I am innocent. I
would pray to le strangled at once, but
\ that you would say I fear your torture.'
Here his wife, who had also lieen seized,
, wa* cruelly Iseaten and ill-treated
, before his eyes. The victim was
then led to the fire, where he was
thrown ou hi* back, stretched out with
. his arm* and legs tied to strong peg*
, driven into the ground, and the stone*,
, now red hot, were taken out of the fire
, and placed ou his naked body—on the
, groin, stomach and chest, supported by
others on each side of him, also heated
t and pressed against his ttodv. It is
j impossible to describe tlie awful effect
, of this barbarous process, the heated
, stones slipping off the scorched and
. broiling flesh, and being only kept in
I their place* by the sticks of tlie fiendish
,executioner*. Through all this tlie
, heroic fellow still rcmaiucd perfectly
j sensible, and when asked if he wished
I to lie released to discover hi* hidden
charm, said, ' Release me.' They did
; so, fully expecting they had vanquished
, his resolution, when, to the astonish
ment of all, he stood up a ghastly spec-
I tacle, broiled alive! his smoking flesh
hanging in pieces from his body ! and
composedly asked his tormentors,
' What do yon wish me to do now ?'
( Thev repeated their demand, but he
reeolutelv asserted his innocence, and
l>egged them to put him ont of his mis
ery; and as they were now tired of their
labor, they made a running noose on the
rheim around his neck, jerked him to
I the ground, and savagely dragged him
about on the sharp stones; then placing
their feet on the back of his neck, they
drew the noose tight and strangled him.
His mangled corp*e was taken into his
own hut, which was aet on fire and
burnt to ashes. His sufferings com- i
menoed at ten A. M. and ended only at

Thing* to be Avoided.
There are many ways in which we
can annoy our friend* without intending
to do so. A few of these are easily ;
1 stated. Never call upon people ont of
season—in business hours. Idle per
sons ore apt to have too little considers- j
tion for those who are busy. Call upon
: business people on business in bußiues*
hours, but not for a long friendly chat
on matters and things in gen*ral. Gall
I upon your neighbors in their home* at
i such hours as they will be prepared to '
: receive yon, and not before they are
down stairs in the morning, or while i
' they are at dinner, or just as they are
i going to bed. Never stop people upon
| the street, if they appear to be in a
! luirry, and buttonhole them for ten or
| twenty minutes. Neither is it good
taste, when you see two persons engaged
in earnest talk, to step in and enter upon
miscellaneous conversation. A man's
ordinary instincts ought to kupw at once
when his company is desired and when
it is a nuisance. It is also a great im
pertinence to strike in with something
entirely foreign to the subject when one
is in the midst of a story or a statement,
or an argument, and to persist in talking
abont " this, that and everything" to
one who ia trying to read the morning
paper, or a book or anything else.
Whenever a man ia so absorbed that he
does not care to reply to what yon say, i
it is time to stop talcing. There are a
legion of other annoyance*, equally
trying . Carelessness in keeping appoint
ments : keeping other ]MM>plo waiting
yonr own oonvenienee ; coming in late
to church, or the concert, or the lecture,
and always in creaking boots ; delay in
answering important letters ; borrowing
new hook* from the owner before he has
had time to read them, and returning
the same at a late date, perhaps never ;
scribbling foolish comments on the
margin; always depending njvin a
neighbor for a sight of the daily or
weekly paper when yon are as well able
to pay for it as he is ; learning to play
on musical instruments in the full hear
ing of sensitive and nervous people.
But we may as well atop here. From
yonr own experience you can complete
theliat.
Something About Head*.
The Scientific American ia authority
for what follows: Complete roundness
is most nearly attained by a skull from
Tartary, of which 97.7 is the index of
breadth. With this Huxley contrasts a
head from New Zealand of 02.9 aa the
narrowest of all known skulls. Bernard
Davis has obtained, however, a so-called
Celtic aknll which has an index of fifty -
eigbt, ao that these indices for extremes
fluctuate between fifty-eight and ninety
eight, but the average is only between
sixty-seven and about eighty-five. King
Kalakaua seems to have a head curions
ly protulierant along the entire left side,
and in marked contrast with that of Mr.
Manton Marble, whose conform allows i
protuberance on the rear, and almost in- 1
dentation forward on the aanie aide. It <
will also be observed that in almost ev
ery example here given—and the same
holds true in the great majority of all in- i
stances—the left aide is most protnber- 1
ant. It may be surmised between this
circumstance and the fact pointed out <
by Brown-tiequard, that the left lobe of
the brain oomes into greater use, in its <
control of the right side of the body,
than the right lobe, which governs the j
left aide.

ed phyaician lately made a deliberate
statement at an annual meeting of the
society of which lie was a uieintier, that
there w.-ui no uueetion but hundred* of
children were Main every year by cheap
confectionery, without the real cause of
their death Iteing known.
A* wc have just atated, the article
which ia nioat uaed hy diahoucat con
fectioners ia what ia kuown to the trade
aa trrra alba. It ta principally brought
from Ireland, ami waa brought into tiae
fifteen or twenty year* ago. Its first
extensive uae wa during the wnr, when
cream of tartar, bicarbonate of axla,
pepper, groiuid rice and oilier articles
of domestic use rose to double their
ordiuary prices. Trrra alba was then
worth alio lit ten or fifteen dollars per
ton. The demand has brought it up to
atxiut double those figures. This cum
pound ia nothing more nor less than
actual dirt. In color it resembles dark
dotir or ground chalk, and is juat as in
jurious as s) much clay or dirt. It enter*
mostly into the composition of " mixed"
caudles, though this does not imply that
all candies of this sort are adulterated
with it, for some of the choicest candies
iu reliable oonfectmuera' stoma are
called " mixed," and are the most cx
{lenaive. •
Many reader* who have Umght the
common fruit or uut-cam.lv will remem
lx-r that in letting the round puces Con
taining the fruit m'-lt in their mouth the
result wan a thick, tasteless paste with
out sweetness or flavor. This was the
" white earth," which was only frosted
on the outside. The cheaper chm>>iatc
creams, of which children ore so fond,
are made of trrra alba and glyreriue
mixed together, the glycerine keeping
the earth *oft and pasty, making it ad
here so it will not fall apart, and then
the Istlls are rolled in tallow, with suffi
cient grease t<> allow one {xmud of choc
olate to go as far a* five or six (xmuda
would if properly made.
The worst effrvt* of the use of trrra
alba are, that the terrible disea-c* of
stone tuiil gravel are caused by the in
troduction of earth into the system, and
the large increase of |atients Buffering
from these attributed by high medical
authorities to the introduction of this
terrible ingredieut into the confection
ery and similar articles consumed in this
country.
Glucose, or " grape sugar," is the
uame of another dangerous article ex
tensively used in the adulteration of
candiea. It is not, as its name would
imply, made from grapes, but from po
tatoes, and its effect is to produce par
alms of various portions of the system,
eajieciallv the kidneys, where the effect
is not only to para lyre them, but to turn
them into a sugary substamx'; in other
words, to produce Bright * disease, a
malady for which physicians have found
as vet no remedy.
l"he reason for the use of glucose is
the sama that is given for the use of
every other adulteration—cheapness.
Gum arable, for which it is used as a
substitute, is worth fifty cents a pound,
while glucose sells for five or six. Most
of the cheap gum-drops are made from
this compound.
More disgusting than anv of the arti
cles named, though |>erha|>s not so
hurtful, are what confectioners term
the scrapings. When a sugar ship
comes into port and is empties] of her
cargo, a good deal of syrup lis* adhered
to the sides of the vessel and run down
into the bilge water. The first is
scraped off and the second pumped out,
, mixed together, and lioiled, and of this
cdinpound candy ia made.
The coloring of cheap candies, al
; though it would hardly come under the
head of adulteration, is yet a fraud, and
oftentimes a dangerous one. Instead of
the cochineal fly which the liest confec
tioners use for the rod in their wares,
the unprincipled manufacturers use
aniline, a powerful And poisonous color.
For yellows chromium is used, one of
the elements of which is arsenic. We
have already mentioned some of the
other preparations of lead and copper
used for this purpose. The yellow in
the liest candies is produced by tho use
of saffron.
Most candies flavored with pear, ap
ple, banana and other fruits are
unwholesome, these extracts in manv
instances being made from fusil-oil,
taken from the refuse of liquor-stills.—

According to a Snn Francisco corre
spondent, whenever a Chinaman is sick
and beyond recovery, he is planed in
some ont-of-the way place and left to
die. None of his countrymen ever go
Dear him, and he is loft to " paddle his
own canoe " across the Styx in his exit
from this mundane sphere. When the
deceased is buried, however, offerings
will Is* made at the grave, and in time
his hones will he nent hack to China, in
accordance with the contract made with
the six companies which blbnght him
here or from subscriptions hy Chinese
merchants. Every year there are tons
of hones of defunct Chinamen sent to
China to be buried. The business of
exhuming and |>acking these bones is an
extensive one, and, very naturallv, it is
fmrsued by Mongols. Many of these
►ones are polished. When disinter
ments are in progress the graveyards of
the Chinese prneontthe appearauoe of a
Golgotha. Very small wooden coffins
are uaed, jnst large enough to contain
the liones of the deceased. It is pro
posed to impose a tax of ton dollars on
every dead body disinterred, and to re
quire the lioues to be placed in a me
tallic case, the price of which is some
fifty dollars. The object of which is to
prevent spread of infectious diseases hy
careless exhuming.
A White Robin.
A snow-white robin may bo seen at
No. 1208 Broadway, near Thirtieth
street. It is a real Albino, and ita dark
eyes are surrounded by a narrow rim
of pink. Last summer a German, of
this city, while wAlkiug in Whitestone, ,
Long Island, saw A robin's nest in an ,
npple tree ; on looking into it he saw
four young birds nearly Hedged, one of j
which was white. He took them home
and reared them all. Three differ in no |
respect from ordinary robins ; the fourth j
differs only in color, Bird fanciers say j
that Albino robins are very rare ; more
so than white blackbirds. .Veto York j

Wight. Suddenly t he aky was darkened;
HQOW and sleet fell amid violent gnat* of
wind, the blinding storm obscuring
nvery thing from the sight of thoee on

sunk an in an instant, carrying to death
her human freight. Five persons only
were picked up by a panning schooner,

The Influence of tbe l**a •■ Crips.
A oorree|Kmdent of a New York pnpnr
wan planting (x'tatoea on the l'JUi of tiie
month, on the iuoreattc of the moon,
or ui the light of the moon; sev
eral of liia neigbtiort wate present
and a discussion arose a* to the effect
the mooti luul on different crops. An
ew, ring It# eorreapondent'a inquiry, the
{m|ur say a: There ha* been always a
{•owrrful aii|>eratitiou that Uie moon ex
erted a great influence upon the affair*
of maukind, bnt Una idea has prevailed
chiefly among thoao who diil not under
atsud the uttor iui|xamibility that the
miaiu could exert any aueli influenoea.
Formerly, the eUr* "were anppoeed to
aoaiat the miMin in tlieae interfareuoee
with mankind and their labor*, and to
be able to " read Uie ntor* " was equiva
lent to the {Mmaeaaion of prophetic pow
era. Now Uie a tar* have lost Una repu
tation, aud Uie moon ia in a fair way to
loee what little is left to it. Formerly,
craxj people were " u<*matruea, ** bnt
1 now, when we aee a lunatic., (derived
from 'una, Uie moon, and really manning
| •• moonstruck ") we do not blame the
miaw for it. The mi am has now fallen
so low a* to be auppoeej by aome to in
fluence only tbe twining of benns on the
polee, Ui planting of aeeda, the wonting
' of fat pork utMJie pau, nnlena it woe
lulled under a growing mouu, and the
making of soft eoap. To a reonouable
peraou Una eeema a amall buaineaa for
Uie moon to l>e engaged in, or a very un
likely Uuiig that the moon onu exert any
atirh influenoea. If Uie test ia mode, it
will be f<mnd that there u not the leant
differs-oe in the growth of crops, the
upending of fat pork, the sucoeaaful tnak
-1 ing of ffofl aap, or any other f our
oommou lainim from the moon influeooe.
j If any difference occur# it will be from
other au*#*, aurh aa soil, weather, etc.
Lastly, it ia absolutely certain that the
moon * influence on car atmosphere is
no very small that it cannot even affect
the weather iu the least.
Th Good Boy.
A well-drenaixl boy, about ten yenru
old, stood on the in front of the
city hall the other day eating an apple.
A ragged urchin, having a rag-ling over
hie shoulder, stood clone by and looked
■a if he would give but hat aud boots fur
one bite of the fruit. An attache of the
city hall noted the nit nation, and was
grqntly pleased to aee Uie lad sadden!j
hand over the apple to the envious rag
picker.
"That's a good boy—that was reel
charity !" exclaimed the gentleman a*
he pat tod the boy on the head.
" Tea, I felt sorry for him," replied
the Ik>t —" and I'd got down to a big
worm-hole, too!"
" Doee your sister Annie ever eey any
thing about me, sissy ?" asked an anx
ious lover of a UtUe girl ; "Yes," waa
the reply, " ah# said if von hod rock era
on your shoes they'd make a moe cradle
for my doll."
