to advise in such matters, that the jockey was
obliged to capitulated and pay the bill. Not
long afterwards Mr. Otis was standing in tho
street examining a horse that ho thought of
purchasing, and seeing his client passing, call*
cd him up and asked him what ho thought of
tho animal. The jockey set his hat aslant, ox.
nminod himon all sides, pronounced his opin

Corporal Punishment.
A special committee of tho lowa State Tea
chers’ Association, consisting of Josephine S.
Dorr and Kosa L. Foss, havo, after maturely
deliberating on the important subject, como to
tho conclusion that, in some cases at least,
“sparing the rod may spoil tho child.” The
manner and means of chastising a refractory
pupil, to which the committee give preference,
arc thus explained in their report:
“ When applied, it should bo dono vigorous
ly, thoroughly, and effectually (tho italics arc
ours:) tho. instrument, tho good old-fashioned
birchen rod..or ns that cannot bo procured In
all parts of lowa, tho kind of wood is immate
rial."
The object of corporal punishment in this
way and style, tho Committee informs us is
“ lo produce a salutary effect.
Wc heartily coincide with the Committees,in
(ho object sought to bo attained by n vigorous
whipping with somo kind of wood, but wo aro
still ot opinion that, there arp morp effectual
ways of managing children Every blow which
a parent gives n child, and every lashing inflic
ted by a teacher on a scholar, hardens tho heart
of both punisher and punished. Tho seeming
necessity of birchen rods proves the incapacity
of tho teacher.
(C 7" All medical men unite in declaring that
nothing is more beneficial to the health tharj
hearty laughter ;* and surely our benevolent

A Hard Tase.
A Railway Joke*
Funny Rat Trap.
Evil Shaking.
, Tho following anecdote is.rclatcd of tho late
excellent J. J. Gurnoy, by one who, as a child,
was often one of his family circle:.
000 night—l remembered it well-—! received
a severe lesson on the ,sin of evil speaking. Se
ven;! thoughf.it then,and* my. heart'rose in ;
childish anger against him who gave it; but t
had not lived long enough in this world to know
how-much mischief a child’s thoughtless >talk
may do, and how often it happens that talkers
run off 1 tho straight lino of truth. S. did not
stand very high in my esteem, and I was about
to speak further of her failings of temper. In
a few months my eyes caught a look of such
calm and steady displeasure, that L;fi topped
short. There was no mistaking the meaning of
that dark, speaking eye. It brought the color
to my face, and confusion and shame to my
heart. I was silent for a few moments, when
Joseph John Gurney asked, very gravely :
“ Dost thou know any good thing to tell us
of her?"
■\ I did hot answer; and the question was more
seriously asked ;
.“Think ; is there nothing good thou canst
tell us of her 1"
“ Oh, yes I know some good things, but—”
" Would it not have been better, then, to re
late these good things, than to have (old us that
which Would lower her in our esteem ? Since
there is good to relate, would it not bo kinder to
bo silent on the evil? •• Charity rejoicolh.not

Delations Between Electricity and Photo
graph?.
The modem discoveries in reference to light
ond electricity are certainly very startling.—
These two agents hAvo long been recognized as
having many points in common, and some re
cent discoveries of the electrician sCcm to estab
lish a still closer link between them. Some
years ago, tho German electricians ascertained
that if a coin or a medal were placed upon a
smooth glois or mcUUc aurfacc K and then clvarg
«l with electricity, a change took place in the
polished surface, which could be delected by
breathing upon it, when an exact copy of tho
coin or medal became visible. The Germans
attempted to Ox these mysterious images, but
failed. Mr. Grove, tho well known English
electrician, has taken tho matter up, and has
been more successful. After thoroughly clean
sing two plates of window glass, and coating
them with tin foil, he placed an ordinary prin
ted handbill between them, and passed a cur
rent of electricity through them for a few min
utes.
On detaching the . glasses, they exhibited,
when breathed upon, .the most perfect fat
simile ol«the haml'billa.’Criri to tho fibrous lex
lute tfic paper, tlft-whole.having an etched or
frost-appearance. By exposing the glass to the
Wiporof hydroflouric acid,‘‘thcso images wete,
fixed by being actually etched. In another ex
ptrifficut, a word wis cut'out of while letter
paper and similarly 'transferred. An attempt
to convert these improssioiw into nholograjins
was also succcsslul. A pl ftle on which the ;n
-viSiWo'imago was impressed, was immersed in a
niimtos in -fthc ordinary
method of preparing a photographic plate. On
sobscqacntly oeingexposed to tho light for a
Tow pcconda, and treated with & developing
agent, (lie letters came out with perfect, dis
tinctness, tho rest of the glass having been pro
tected by clccln'cization from tho action of light.
Manufacturo of Uio Celebrated Russian
Leather.
In the production of the well-known Russian
leather, the hides to bo tanned—whether wet or
dry—aro first laid to soak for three days and
nights, in a solution of potash, to which some
quicklime is added. The potash used is mado
of tho common elm. which is said to bo prefer

appearance. About four hundred and thirty
two pounds of this and seventy-two pounds of
lime, servo for ono bundled skins. Asthny

cauclty of tho alkali but by its effects on the
tongue, when (hey find it weak, they (ct tho
skins lie longer in tho solution. When the
skins arc taken oftt, they aro carried to tho riv
er and left under water for a day and night.—
Next, two and a half gallons of dog's orduro is
boiled in as tnucli water as is enough to soak
fifty skins ; but in (ho winter time, when tho
orduro is frozen, twice that quantity is found
necessary. Tho skins ore put into this solution
when it is about as hot as tho hand can bear,
and in this liicv remain .one day and ono night.
Tho skins aro tlicn sewed up so ns to leave no

Elopement in Dish life.
Just ft week ago, when New York was under
the utmost excitement consequent, uj)oo the
scene of riot and bloodshed, enacted the night
previous, in. Williamsburg, also, a scene in
which bloodshed resulted, not between charap
tors assimilating to “ Dead Rabbits” and such
|ikpi, but pmpng persons of the highest respecta
bility and standing in.ljio.busmesscommunity,
as well os thosocial circles of New York. The
affair grew out of a young taaa attempting, to
elope with a married .woman, when he was pur
subd the who, in the heat of pass :
ion,-rbj)ca(cdiy stabbed the young man with a
bowle knife, until it,was supposed hoiyas mor
tally wounded.' -Tho.,affair occurred between
three and .four o'clock on Sunday morning, the
24th ulf., without any outcry having been
made, and there has'since been an effort fo sup
press the facts from the gossipping world.' Wo
give the facts below: ’
Mr. A is.a heavy merchant in New York, ;
and'bis residence for some time past has been
in Williamsburg in tho aristocratic portion of I
the city known as the South Side. Ilfs wifi? is '
a beautiful and accomplished woman, belong- 1
ing to a wealthy and highly rcspcc.tablo family 1
In New York, and was looked upon by her bus- !
band as everything that could bo desired in a '
partner for life.
The third person, Mr. D., a young man do- j
!ng business in New York, is also, of high stan- {
ding. ’ • i
Some three months since, tho wife of Mr. 8.,
formed an acquaintance in a broadway saloon.
The two frequently plot at the same place, nntj
Anally became ardently attached, and feeling ;
that they would Wunhappy if they separated, 1
the ladydccidcd to abandon her husband and !
children and clopo with her lovtr. Early on ,
tho morning of the 4th was fixed upon to con
sumato their designs and carry their plans iiitti ,
execution. . . i , l «
The husband had received some’intimatidh or ]
the step his wife was about to take, and .nl- ,
though he could not credit the rumor, decided
to he fully convinced of its truth or falsity.
On the morning in question, Mrs A., left the
house, and, meeting a carriage, she immediately
sprang into it. when the driver proceeded to.
wards the South Tenth’street Retry,
Tho husband was nottr convinced of his wife’s
perfidy, and, overtaking tho Carriage, wrenched
open the door and immediately Commenced an
onslaught upon the youttg.man with a bowie
knife, and did not desist until he had inflicted a
dangerous wound in tho neck, several on the
arm—one of which will renderthe arm useless— ;
and also a severe gash acrosd his stomach.— i
During (he melee the young man discharged his
pistpl, the ball grazing his adversary’s forehead
and causing a slight wound.
The carriage was turned back Ip tho house,
the young man removed to a room, pnd the fam
ily physician was called in to dress wounds.
At this stage of the aflair tho two-gentlemen
recognized ’each other- as intimabf*busiitcss
friends in New York. , i \ , -. •
that he was not aware o£ Rio relations existing
between Mr. A, and tho lauyvoj' ho .would not
for the world have taken thw step.
Mr. A. was sorry fi* his rashness, and regret
ted (hat he had not allowed his wife to leave
without molestation. I,
Tho plijsicion was of tho opinion (hat tho
wounds would provo fatal. A consultation was
deemed advisable, and Prof. Parker and two
other skillful surgebns were sent for. Tho
consultation took place that evening, and it
was decided that there was a chance for rccov
cry.
The wife was discarded, and proceeded at
once to her friends in New York. Paring the
day tho father and brothers of tho lady visited
Mr. A. and after having heard the version of
tho affair, did not blame him for the course be
had taken.
The wife consigned tho custody of tho three
children to her husband, after which ho gener
ously pave her the eldest boy.
The injured man still remains in Williams*
burg, ana is In a fair way of recovery.
