otsury hero to mention that Col. T. A.

Arriving in Pittsburg, the conven
ient schedules arranged by Col. W. L.

READING FOR BOYS.
A reporter of the Tribune has been
talking with the Superintendent of the
Jow xork Juvenile Asylum, who
confirmod all that has boon urged ot
late relativo to the pernicious effects
wrought by sensational literature tor
tne young, said the superintendent:

What makes this evil tho harder to
strike at is, that it is a wrong commit
ted wholly under the protection ol tlio
law. The publishers of tho flush
weeklies havo a legal right to utter
their abominable, harmlul Bluff: news
dealers have a right to sell it and, so
lur as tbo law is concorned, boys have
a right to buy it. Parental caution,
tbe only power having the right to in
tervene in behall of youthful mortality,
practically ia powerless: for in despito
of the utmost watchfulness boys will
manage in ninecases outot ten to outwit
thoir parents and accomplish tho wrong
upon wdicd tboy nave setincir minds.
And it must be romembored tbat in tbo
great majority of instances the boys
most likely to be harmed by flashy
reading aro those who aro without
wholesome borne influences and to
whom the word "father" suggoets
only an embodiment of brulo force lia
ble at any time to bo exortod in such
way as to causo them pain, but never
by any chanco to do them good. Aa
to the waifs and strays of the great
cities, the hapless hlllo creatures who
seem to come np spontaneously, like a
depraved and blackened variety of tbe
lilies of the field ; who may have known
something of a mother in very early
life, but who certainly never havo boon
wise enough to find out their fathers
for Ihoso unfortunates there is no pro
tection whatever. They are out adrift
at the age when their luckior fellows
are still in the nursery, and what edu
cation thoy got tboy squeeze out ot tho
world as tiny pass aloug. Whore they
over loam to read is a mystery, but
thoy generally do pick up this solitary
accomplishment, and, having it, they
make an utterly bad uso of it. It is
not to be wondered at that, working
on such material, the flash pross, aided
y the Hash stage, contrivoa to bring
boot moral ruin and to act as a most
powerful agont for the dissemination
of vioe.
The noed for legislation in the rronii-
sos is evident, but tho caso is a vory
hard ono to deal with adequately in ac
cordance with the forma ot law. Stories
of adventure, ovon stories with real
pirates In them, it written in a manly,
honest way, aro wholesome roading
for boys and should not bo withheld
rom tbem. Stories containing pre
cisely the same elomonte, but truatod
in a different way, aro infinitely pro
ductive of mischief, and should bo kept
away from boys as if they woro as, in
deed they are deadly poison. Yotto
framoa law which ahall permitthe good
to flourish while at the same time tho
bad is cut off is a doiicale and difficult
task. Wo aro not prepared to say, oven,
that such a law is practicable ; but it
is possible that by a carof'ully-drawn
statute a certain censorial power,
greater than at present exercised, but
of the same general character, might
bo vostod In the courts, ana tho evil
thus reduced if not eradicated. Fail
ing In some such law finding its way
non the books, there is nothing to do
but to fall back on moral suasion and
moral suasion, as has como to be prot-
gaiierally admitted in theso later
lays, is not by any means tbe most
active force of the nineteenth century.

Where the Son Does Not Set. Tho
following graphic passage is from tho
description of a scene witnessod by Mr.
Campbell and bis party in tho north
of Norway from a cliff one thousand
loot above tho sea : " I ho ocean stretch
ed away in silent vastness at our foot ;
th. sound ol wavos scarcely reaehod
our airy lookout ; away in the north
th. huge old sun swung low along tho
horison, like the slow beat of the pen
dulum In the tall clock of our grand
fathers parlor cornor. Wo all stood
silent, looking at our watches. W hon
both band. cam. togothor at twelve,
midnight, the full round orb bung tri
umphantly above th. wavo, a bridge
of gold running duo north spanned tlio
water between as and him. There ho

OAS LIME FOR INSECTS.
A correspondent of on English
journal, alter trying various nostrums
tor ridding his young turnip crop of
the lly, at last hit on tho lollowing,
which we givo in his own words: "I
bad a few cartloads of tbo gas-lime

just enough of fresh-slacked lime to

With this Preparation reatlv. I kent a

WHY MANURES SHOULD Bl C01IPOSTID.
Fresh horso manure contains not
moro than ono pound of manure in fif
teen tons. Yet in theso filtcon tons
there is nitrogen enough to furnish
one hundred and forty pounds of am
monia. Jiul the nitrogen cannot be
used by plants until it is changed into
ammonia or nitrio acid. If tiie fresh
manure Is applied to tbo soil, part of
mo nitrogen win do decomposed and
assume tho forms of ammonia and ni
trio acid, but a considerable portion of
it remains united with tho elements ol
tho soil in insoluble forms. In this
state it may romain for years of no
uso to the farmer. Nearly every soil
contains large quantities of nitrogen
in msoliiblo tonus lur in excess ol Iho
ammonia nooded for crops. It is not
prontablo tor tarmors to apply their
barn manuro in such condition that
its nitrogen may assuino an insolublo
state. To guard against this it is nec
essary that the manure should bo com
posted and thoroughly decomposed.
n this way the nitrogen changes its
form and becomes solublo in tlio form
of ammonia and nitric acid and these
aro available and highly beneficial to
farm crops.
MORAL DEPRA V1TY.
Tho Now York Tribune takes hold
of an important subject and treats it
wiacly and well when it discusses tbo
aso ol a recent delalcation in that city.
There havo been two or throo more
bad failures, It says, within the past
week, and every caso scorns to bo a
repetition ol theold story. Tho money
has boon stolen by some highly respec
table gentleman who has been lookod
upon as quite above suspicion. Mr
Conant, tho delinquent cashier of tho
Eliot bank in Boston, was a person ot
exemplary life, so far as tho world sees,
modest In his expenses, quiet In his
habits, greatly estoomed by all his ac
quaintances. If tbo nowspapor ac
counts aro correct, no must havo been
outwardly tho vory model ol a conscr-
ativo bank cashier, living in a decent
little suburban cotlago 01 his own, sur
rounded by an afloctionato fumilly, at
tending strictly to his business, and
pending no moro than tho amplo sala
ry allowed bun oy tho institution
which ho had served lor tho better pari
of a lifotimo. Wo can well believe that
the directors wore thunderstruck when
this trusted servant came to them and
confessed that he bad stolen $70,000.
It Is usual to explain theso extraor
dinary breaches of trust by the "sud
den temptation" theory ; tho culprit is
involved in difficulties ; ho borrows a
hlllo of tho bank's money expecting to
replace it in a fow days ; he borrows a
little more to covor up the tirst abstrac
tion ; everything goes wrong ; at ovory
effort to get out of tho mire ho plunges
n doenei ; so ho is ruined lortuno,
character, conscience all gone before he
suspects It. This is the kindly and
sympathetic way of looking at the case,
but we doubt whotner it ia always the
just way. As a rule, people do not
yield suddenly to a temptation to steal ;
tho ueiensos ol nonesiy aro undeter
mined and broken down little by little,
and when the temptation comes the
man is ready to surrrender. A IVor tho
fiMt fall, ho makos littlo of falling
again. Ho steals alter that with de
liberation ; steals to be sure in tho
hope of recovering his ease of mind
and concealing his sin ; but It is never
theless deliberate theft, and though wo
REPUBL
do not snpposo that the thief enjoys
it we do not see that he is entitled to
any especial commiseration or tender
treatment It would probably be bet
ter for society if such offenses as thoso
of Connnt, Tappan, Oilman, and a score
of ofhinently respcctablo appropriators
of other men's goods, whoso atl'uirs
havo lately filled tho papers, were dis
cussod with plainer and severer lan
guage Defalcation is becoming altogether
too common. A long established good
name, an unblemished character, a
lifetime of fail dealing, all the reputa
tion which businoss men would once
havo spent years of sell-denial to ob
tain, begins to lose its commercial val
ue. We look asknnco at everybody.
Wo go about asking whom we can
trust ; and many of us put the question
with an angry impatience that springs
from a half consciousness that we can
not trust ourselves. Tho increasinc
prevalence of this particular form of
crime can only be accounted for by a
gravo social disorder. It is not that
American bankers have turned hypo
crites. Wo do not beliovo that Con
ant was a hypocrito, or Tappan, or
Gilman. All these men were decorous
and respectable from choice or natural
inclination, and not as a disguise for
premeditated rascality. If persons
wnoso tastes and associations ought to
dispose them to be virtuous so often
turn out robbers, wo may well ask our
selves whether llicro ia not something
in tho spirit ot modern society that
cither drives them into dishonest cours
es or at least destroys tho moral safe
guards which keep a man pure and up
right Wo have mado money tho cri
terion of respoctability, the basis of
special position, the badge of honor.
vo havo taught ouryoung men topur
suo wealth us the highest earthly good,
and to dread tbe loss of it as the worst
of evils. A bold and sordid material
ism distinguishes our wholo li Io, cor
rupts our commercial morals, engen
ders our politics, debases our society,
undermines the influences of tho pulpit.
So tho wholo community is in a per
petual conspiracy to lure men to des
truction, doubling tho temptations to
peculation, weakening the conscience,
and destroying tho spiritual forces with
which alone tbo good fight If cases
liko tho defalcation of Mr. Conant are
common, it is becauso they spring from
inu sins oi a wiioie people.
AM. HALS AT SEA.
Mr. Koycs, editor of the Washing
ton Star, who was a passongor on the
steamship Moscl, thus writes of tho
habits ot animals on ship board : It is
a fact perhaps not widely known that
most of tho animals procured for tho
menageries and zoological gardens of
huropo and America aro brought from
Atnca iy a liormanNow lorkor nam
oa Keichiu, who has an acquanum in
that city. It is another curious fact
that these animals should como from
Africa mainly through North Germa
ny, it seems they aro collected in At
rica (mainly cubs) and brought to Tri
cstoo and thence to North Germany,
and from there aro distributed to the
countries whero they aro nocdod. It
thus happens that the North German
steamers frequently carry those ani
mals to tho United Statea ; and it is
interesting to bear about thoir habits
on ship board. The lions, tigors and
hyenas aro great cowards in a Btarm.
Tboy also suffer a good deal from sea
sickness, and whind about it The
elephant has littlo to say wbon be is
sea-sick but ho always tosses bis great
bead from side to side, and looks "un
utterable things." It has been do
sci ibod by a famous writor (Charles
Reade) how tho sagacious elephant in
storms at sea, savos himself from being
off the dock by throwing bimsolf flat
upon his belly with all his four legs,
nnd his trunk spread out with suction
power upon tho planks. Captain Noy
nabor being interrogated upon this
point, remarks with a sly wink in the
direction ot the undersigned, that it
will not do to believe all wo soo in
print. Ho says tbat no ship master
would undertake to carry a loose elo
phant on deck. A loose elephant
tumbling about in a galo would bo a
more dangerous obicet than a loose
gun told ot by Victor Hugo. Tho
elephant, and all tho other wild ani
mals transported by stoamor aro con
fined in tho strongest kind of boxos,
but the boxes themsclvos are soenrod
in tho firmest mannor. The horso, it
appears, is tho most nervous and sen
sitive ti ii i in n I that goes to sea, and a
hon shows tho most utter disgust with
life whon sea sick, by vomiting and
occcntrio movements.
TWO THOUSAND MILES IN
CANOE.
A canoo voyage, unprecedented in
tho annals of canoeing in this country,
was undertaken and successfully ac
complished by Mr. Charles K. Chaso, a
correspondent for tho Boston' Journal,
who travorsed a uisianco oi ovor z.ihiu
miles in his canoo, Bubble ,a craft four
teen feet long, thirty-one inchos in
beam, ten and one-bnlf inchce in depth,
and weighing about forty pounds. Mr.
( 'Ii aso started on his trip on tho Till of
May last, from tho loot ot east Uno
11 u ml red and Tenth stroot, with his
liny vessel loaded with provision,
chungo of clothing, shelter tent, all com
pactly arrranged ill tbe limitod spaco
of tbo hull of Iho boat, and proceeded
up tho Harlem river to tho Mpuytcn
Duyvil, and entering tho Hudson com
menced iu real earnest his solitary
royago. proceeding along tne majes
tic Btream, under paddle and sail, Mr.
Chaso reached Tarrytown, where bo
stopped lor tho night and tho noxt
morning continued his cruiso and reach
ed Watcrford, tho endot tho navigable
Hudson, in about ten days after leaving
Now York. From Watcrford ho pad
dled through tho Cbamplain canal to
Lako Cbamplain, over which ho cruis
ed for somu time, and finally reached
Rouse's Point, at ono extremity of tho
lako, by dint ot hard paddling, as he
had constantly to encounior head
winds.
Passing from tho lako to the Rieho
lien rivor, the voyager glided by some
of tho finest scenery on this continont
and Ihrough a region to which rail
roads and steam are comparatively un
known. From tho Richelion river ho
entered the St. Lawrence, and sailed np
that broad stream to Quebec, where be
was hospitably rocoived by somoof the
leading residents and tho Palisado Boat
Club.
After remaining a short timo at Qne
bco be traveled by portago ovor ono
hundred miles to the Cbaudier. rivor,
and launched Ins ranoe on this beauti
ful stream. Paddling some distance
along the rivor, ho remained nearly
two weeks at tho Chandiere gold mines,
discovered a short timo ago, explor
ing the magnificent sconcry and exam
ining tho mints, which, by tbe-way,
Mr. Chase says, are returning a hand
some profit to tho English onmpany
who aro working them.
From tho Chaudioro Mr. Chase travol
ed by portago to Wheoler's Mills, Here
ford township, Canada, and entered
Hull's stream, a tributary of tho Con
necticut, entering tho Connecticut,
the canoeist followed its tortuous course
to Long Island sound, and paddled
down to Littlo Hell Gate, and entered
tho East rivor on the morning of the
20th inst, and landod at Captain "Dill's"
boathouso, his starting point, seventy
eigbt days, lour hours and forty-fivo
minutes after his departure, and mak
ing the Iongost canoe cruise that was
over attempted in this country.
M r. Chase related to the reporter the
story of his cruiso, which was replete
with incidents, bis canoo on three oc
casions having holes stove in hor while
shooting rapids in tbcC'anadian streams,
and his kind receptions by people liv
ing on tho routo of his journey, surpris
ed at his attempting to make so long a
journey in so frail a craft, and who did
ail thoy could to make bis stay at their
dwelling-places comlortablo.
Tho Canadians, Mr. Chaso related,
woro unbounded in their hospitality.
and at Quebec and other places he was
invited by prominent citizens and offi
cials to visit thoir residences, and all
kinds of attentions were pressed on
him. Mr. Chase mado this trip for tho
Boston Journal, to which bo wrote let
ters minutely describing his trip, and
intonds publishing a book containing a
narrative of his remarkable voyage.

THE TIIUO OF TIIE PERIOD.
In India the Thugs are by no means
as plentiful or as offensive as they wcro
a century ago. 1 he strong hand of
tho British Government mado life such
a burden to them that except in the un-
irequentea by-ways anu lonely mount
ain passes they are now almost un
known. Theso disagreeable persons
livod on wealthy and unwaiy travelers.
They were no common tramps, to fall
by chanco on any passing wayfarer,
but wore bound together by tho most
solemnly compacted organization, ex
tending throughout tbe country. In
their manners they were civil and even
polite. They so tar combined religion
and business that they never would
engage in robbery or murdor without
first going through thoir stated course
of devotions. Hud tbey omitted this
dovotional feature of their work, they
would havo had no encouragement to
prococd, for according to their system
of theology, it waa this that brought a
blessing on their endeavors. Iho
Thugs know whom tbey altackod.
Thoir victims woro genorally persons
whocarried dlamondsorcoin. Curctul
as these victims might bo to kocp to
themselves tho knowledge of their in
tended movements, the cunning of the
Thugs was to much for them. Before
a traveler had a suspicion that Thugs
were after bim bo was politely stran
gled and his remains buried in a gravo
dup; by the rnadaide. The Thugs wero
always neat about funerals, and would
invariably bury with appropriate do
votional exorciBcs tbe body ot ono vic
tim, or set of victims, before proceed
ing in quost of more.
V itn all our boasted civilization and
Christianity wo are not Ireo from
Thugs. Ours aro of a different pattern
from those which infested India. The
dovotional olemont ia lacking, nnd
they go diroctly to business without
spending time In saying their prayers.
'1 hoy generally mark for thoir prey
the man who on pay day draws from
bank the cash to pay off the hands ot
snmo large factory. Such a man is
watched for weeks or months. Our
Thugs know to what bank ho goes,
how much money be draws, and how
bo carries it to the place of business.
While he in fancied security has his
valuablo packago under his arm, or
firmly grasped in bis band, or tightly
buttoned insido his coat, the Thugs
who watch and follow bim aro inspect
ing bis every movement and cvory ex
pression. hotbor in street car, or in
wagon, or on foot, they nro after him,
and he knows it not. At last, after
having followed bim fifty limoa, thoy
suddenly pounce upon bim and stoal
his money, If they have to kill bim in
order to get it they have no particular
objection. All they want is tho long
coveted plunder. If bo makes resis
tance there are generally enough of
them to overpower mm. mo most
recent act of Tliugism was perpetrated
in New York only two or throo days
ago. Tho clork of a largo piano con
cern was the victim and tho deed was
done in broad daylight. Seizing an
opportunity to throw a packago of
money to a messenger boy tho victim
told tho boy to run with it. Tho Thugs
caught the boy and mado him givo it
up. Thon tbe victim jumped into a
butcher's cart and tried his best to
overtake tho flocing Thugs. Whon
they found that bo was gaining on
them thoy knocked tho butehor'a horse
in tho head. This took place in a wido
street where polico aro supposed to
patrol. The question is naturally abk
ed, Whero are the police f Echo an
swers. Around tho corner. Tbey, of
course, wcro not looking for anything
of tho kind, and wcro probably much
surprised when the transaction was
brought to their ollicial cogni.anco.
Rocently wo havo had too many ot
these Thuggisb thioveries. The simi
lar robbery of tlio cashier of tho Planet
Mills, in Brooklyn, is fresh in tho pub
lio mind. Thugs took about 13,000
from him in broad daylight. Tbe
treasurer of tho Albia Mills, in Troy,
was robbed ina stroe tear. Tho Thugs
of Now York robbed and nearly mur
dorod Lafetra, one of tho clorks of tbo
Third Avenue Railroad, in a car, at
about ten o'clock in tho evening. With
in a day or two a Thug seized a valua
blo salcbol from the Beat of a New
York car and ran. He iiimned into
tho rivor to hido, and was fished out.
A lady sitting in a palace car, which
stopped a low momenta at a station
near Saratoga, felt a sudden jerk on
hor car. A Thug had made oil' with a
costly diamond ear ring. Sho will no
moro wear her diamonds in such public
places.
loo police are ovidonlly no protec
tion against Thugs. Law has been
ablo to do but little in the way of mak
ing an example or them. 1'istols avail
nothing, for the Thugs genorally know
better bow to uso thorn than their vic
tims do. There is one romedy, Pep
per. Let everybody who carrios a

want, also carry a tiamiiui oi ground

Under this caption wo gavo a brief

tour in tbe last issuo of this papor. In
tho absonco of moro profitable items,
wo continue with a brief synopsis of
our second week's labors. On Tues
day, August 6th, wo wont to Ponfield,
reaching that placo about 12 o'clock.
Having no appointment for tbat day,
we spont the afternoon in calling upon
tho roproBontativo school men ol that
town. In company with Mr. W.J.
King, wo visited tho Presbyterian
church and witnessed tho marringo of
ono of our host vouchors. Mr. Allon
II. Rosenkrans, who was united in
matrimony to Miaa Edith Shugarta, ot
Luthorsburg, tho ceremony being pro
nounced by Rov. Wm. Burchfield, of
Liu Hois. The happy couplo started
cast tho same afternoon. Mr. It. has
been teaching for a number of years in
the graded school at Pen Geld, aud in
this new departure his numerous
frionds extend their congratulations
and wish him a lilo of unsullied hap
piness. In tho graded school building we
met and examined a small class on
Wednesday morning; took the train
at 2 o'clock p. m., reaching Rockton
that evening. On Thursday a fair
crowd of spectators attended the ex
amination, and five directors wore
present. Tho class was of medium
sizo, being composed principally ot
young icaoncrs.
On Friday, at Luthorsburg, twenty-
two teachers registered their names
as applicants for certificates. The class
was a very interesting one, and we
woro compelled to bold a night session,
closing tho examination at 9 o'clock
p. m. Four directors wore present,
and many citizens remained with ns
until the close of the examination.
Brady township is indeed exemplary
in tho management of hor public
schools. Teachers' salaries for tlio
present year havo been fixed at 38
per month. The foundation of tho
graded building at Luthorsburg is now
completed, and the work is boing push
ed along rapidly.
Tho interest manifested by directors
and parents at the public oxuminations
thus far has been far beyond our ex
pectations, and it it continues until tho
closo of our tour, wo shall indoed fool
gratified.
On Tuesday, August 6th, Mr. Mutt.
S.tvago closed bis select school at Burn
side, having beon in session thrco
months. A correspondent tells us that
tho school was a complcto success, and
that tbo people of Burnside havo boen
exceedingly well pleased with Mr.
Savage as an instructor. As an evi
denoeof their appreciation ot his worth,
tho board met at the close of his term
and voted him tho winter school at
40 per month. Mr. Savago taught
tho school last winter, and the present
action of the board reflects great credit
upon tbo judgment of that body. The
directors have arranged to have tbe
school building reseated with patent
lurniture, ana otherwise repaired and
mado comfortable. They have at
heart the welfare of the rising genera
lion, and spare no pains in providing
lor their necessary wonts.
Tho great secret of success in teach
ing, lies in showing how much there is
of real interest aha beauty that can be
easily and intorestingly learned. It is
absurd to think that success at all de
pends upon impressing pupils with the
idea that the teacher is a prodigy of
learning. Let his own soul be in tbo
work Lot him appoar before his school
as an enthusiastio investigator and
learner, advnnced further than they,
always ready and anxious to help
tnem in nnaing mo way to higher ele
vations, and bo will succeed. Good
tempor, punctuality and method, are
indications of a good teacher ; but thoir
qualitios, with many others equally
excellent, may bo found whore thoro
is no teaching capacity. A still and
orderly school may bo a very poor ono,
while excellent results may Bomctimos
come from a noisy and confused one.
Wo admit that noise and contusion aro
not desirable, but mothod and quiet
aro not certain ovidences of scholar
ship. There is somothing of vastly
moro importance lhan rules and pro
grammes. It is enthutiasm. Every
truly successful teaclior appears to his
pupils as a learner with them. Ho is
just as eager, patient and thorough as
ho wants they should be. lie is in
closo and real sympathy with bis pu
pils. Ho steps with thorn, thinks, acts
and investigates as they do. For this
reason many great teachers havo pos
sessed a child-like spirit, and in this is
found tho secret of their great success.
It is not in a "system," nor in a toxt
book, but becauso tho heart and Intel
lect of tho teachor comes down to a
child's way of acquiring truth. This
is something moro than adaptation, it
is for tho timo becoming like thoso we
teach, and seeing tho world as they
sco it. o have soon pupils after long
and patient study, run to a teacher,
with countenances beaming with tho
joy of success, to tell tho nows ot vic
tory, only to bo mot with his cold and
uninterested gaze. To them it was a
moment of intenso interest. They had
th. samo enthusiasm Columbus, New
ton and Kepler felt when thoy first
provod their theories true. Tho teach
er said nothing and yet spoko volumes.
Wo havo seen other teachers look with
utmost care ovor tho wholo work, even
though over' lino and figure woro as
familiar as the alphabet, and evince
great joy in finding tho whole correct
Tho warm, genial Summer sun is
infinitely moro brilliant than tho cold
sporklo of tho iceberg. Some teachers
are sunny, gonial and inspiring. Oth
ers aro cold, brilliant and learned.
They novcr laugh nor lovo, don't en
joy a joke, nor do they want to ho lov-
W. For them there is no conquest in
acquisition. Thoy have great beads but
cold hearts. They know everything
but lovo nothing. Truly great men
bavo hearts larger than their brains,
and a really successful teacher knows
