Th Ohio editors visited the Zoo logical Garden yesterday morning. The brown bears the moment they saw tlera rlagcd Jnto thf watr and refer pamq out till tne editors ieii. The cbim!anzea 8iMcared plcseed and fiit-ked about and extended their i.onda nnmprrni times in token of hearty welcome. The editors didn't lice their familiarity and withdrew to the snakes. There was one man in the party who eyed the bo-con-oirirtnr an d other laree reptiles that are wont to arouse the wonder of spectators with such indifference that k. ftrftd the attention of all who saw him. He looked like a deacon md some tbeuebt his manner toward tbe snakes w as on account of convic tions that disapproved of visiting such a place on Sunday. But among ti nther rditora a whi?per went ri.ntl that be was the man who had tho recent experience with a large nake in Ohio. Some had not hearu and after tbev cot out in the shade and seated tlemselves onbenchea near the sea-lions, by dint of a good deal of urging he was prevailed on to relate the story, as follows : "About a month ago, feeling the need of relaxation and knowing I had an able substitute in my partner d l.noineau mni I took a brief vacation from my editorial duties and went down to visit my brother on Lis farm on the Sciota. The bouse stands on a sloping piece of ground ; below tLcm flows the Sciota river, clear and cool, and above them the ground rites to a gentle knoll. It is very rocky in that region and rattle snakes, blacksnakoa, of the racer species, and copperheads are said to bo thicker there than in any other part of Ohio. I lad never seen any myself and so went there thinking little or nothing about them. My brother's wife is a srea'. woman for raising chickens. At the Ohio State fair la.-, year her chickens took the first and second rri-o for choice of breed and for large sire. WLen I got down to the farm I found Mrs. in great distress. All bcr chickens had disappeared but two or three, and nobody could tell what become of them. Varmints were not plenty about there, so the blamo could" not lay on foxes. Neither could it bs put on persons, for every body about there were bonet-t farmers and belonped to the church. Ooe day I was up on the hillside, seated in the shade as we are now, reading. Presently I looked up, and faw, not twemv yards from me, one of Mrs. llarge fchanghia rooster. It was almost as large as a turkey, and I remember, as I watched Lira strut ting around, I wondered whether it wasn't his great size that had kept him from going with the rest. I resumed mv reading again, but in less than a'minute I beard a flutter of wings and looked up. The rooster was nowhere to be seen. The ground was clear for an area of half a mile. I got np and noticed a short distance away, near where I had last seen the rooster, what 1 toon to De icaiuers in the hollow of a black stnmp. I went to the snot. Thev were feathers. Tho stump, as I came closer, seemed to recede a short way into the ground, and the feathers with it." Here the editor paused cud swept the perspiration from his brow with a red bandkercbiel, wnue tne crowa, with horror depicted on their faces as plainly as these words are printed on naner. drew their seats up closer and pushed their heads nearer. "Gentlemen." said the editor, care fully placing his handkerchief in Lis breast Docket, "it 1 live to De nine hundred vears old I shall never for got the cold sensation that seemed to creep through my blood when I saw that stump had two glittering eyes and a white ring around us neck. It was a racer, and I saw the tail of the rooster 6tickine out of its yawn- ning mouth. I got down to the bouse and mv legs seemed like limber pipe stems as 1 went. Half an hour later roy brother, myself and three or four of tho neighbors returned to tne wene with ropes and a log chain We knew it would only bo i waste of powder and lead to try to ahoot the snake, so we got above him and rolled 6tones down tho hill till be drew bis head into the ground. Then we quickly laid the log chain around the hole in a sort of a draw loop. To the other end of the chain we attached the rope. Then we trot down the hill with the cod of the rope and waited. We didn't have long to wait. In less than thirty minutes he came out. We waited till his neck protruded for about half a foot, and then we jerked the rope. The next moment we had him fast. Three of us pulled the rope while the other two got banu.'pikea. .lard after yard we drew out, till we had bim tail and all. His body seemed a foot in diameter, and his length " Hero the crowd with one accord thrust their heads so close that the narrator was obliged to move back a little for more room, " his Icneth was thirteen feet and tix or eight let me sec ; I made a note of it ;'' and he fumbled for his note book, but the crowd said never mind ; they'd take Lis word for it. "I've left it in my other coat pocket," he said. . "But ""never mind. It was either thirteen feet six or thirteen feet eight, inches ; my impression is that it was thirteen Cut eight, but I want to be correct, and we'll give veracity the benefit of the doubt and aay thirteen six. We killed bim with handspikes and after ward cut him open. In his body we found the rooster be had last swal lowed, and every one of the other chickens that bad so mysteriously disappcard. There were nine all told, and every one living." "Living !" ejaculated the crowd in chorns. "Living," said the editor, calmly. "Before 1 returned from my vacation 1 had the satisfaction of seeing three as fiae broods cf chickens as I ever expect to sue anywhere batched by three of these same faeaa that bad been so long imprisoned in the snake's body." Tho party said no mor( but sat in deep silence for about ooe niiou.'e, when somebody suggested that thev be going, and they arose- and repair ed thoughtfully to tbe place where they keep the polar bears Phila defptha Timet. A IMiappclatetf Stm Yorker. A young Xew Yorker who Las been traveling in the East could not resist tie temptation of journey iog to Bagdad, which bad long appealed to bis imagination through tbe Arabian Night and their roseate description of the Sarrcenic capital. He has written home a private letter express ing bitter disappointment at tbe Bag-j dad of his fancy as compared with the Bagdad of tact. j Instead of finding a beautiful city, the centre of Arabie civilization and refinement, possessed of 300,000 pic-' luresqne inhabitants, he found a khrncken town of 0,000 ignorant and repulsive Mu6selmans, with nar row, dirty streets, full of ruts, and strewed with carcasses which would molo nprnetnal nestilence bat for devouring dpgs, lie only fonvingert. He .might .have .leirned what the actual city is without going there fcy consulting j geographical work, i Xo wonder he tela grievedWiyi himRplffor making the uncomforla- b'e end unrcmunerativo journey so late in tbe season, too, that he was nearlv bnraed np (Bagdad is one of the 'hottest and most oppressive places on the globe in summer,) and may congratulate himselt on having escaped tbe plague which visits tbe city every ten years. Skolelc' ier - By. This affair is described by a corres pondent ot tbe London Daily Xeicg : I bad attached myself to General Skobeleff. and while riding through tbe streets on our way to our old quarters on the Loftcha road wo met TeCk Bey, Osman'8 chief of staff, tbe same bo had come over the bridge to us with the white flag. He had become separated from Osinan end was wanderiog -boot with his escort through the moddy atreeti No body seeming to know where to take him or where to go. General Sko beleg immediately invited him to dice and pass the night at bis head quarters on the Loftcha road. Tefik Bey at first hesitated, as he thought he ought to endeavor to join Oaman, but nobody knew where Osmau was. It seemed "then probable that he had accompanied the Grand Duke to Bo got, and at any rate if he were in Plevna, the task of finding him might be one of hours in the darkness. General SkobelelTa persuasions, join ed to those of Colonel Galiiard, whom Skobeleff bad likewise invited, finally prevailed. A warm fire burning gajly in General SkobelcfTs mud hut, a glass of vodka and same hot coup, at once thawed out our benumbed hands and feet, and we were soon enjoying a hot diuncr, with the ap petite of men who bad been in the saddle since daylight, with not a morsel to tat. Telik Bev seemed much depressed and downcast. , He spoke little, and was at firt-t almost as taciturn a8 he had been on th? bridge He brightened up, however, as the meal progressed, drank a class of red wine, a glass of sherry and a couple of glasses " of chanipaigne, when General Skobeleff proposed tho health of Osman Ghazi, and drauk to the brave defenders of Plevna. A merry smile overepread bis face when Skobeleff inquired of him who had commanded the Turks on the Green Hill, and I believe it occurred to him now for tne nrst time that his entertainer was Skobeleff, the inde fatigable, restless, daring spirit with whom bo bad exchanged so many bard blows on tbe Loftcha road and Green Hill. Nobody had mentioned bUotelon s Dame in his presence, nor had Skobeleff told him who he was ; but tbe fact that he bad come out of the Loftcha road, together with Skobeleff" s question about tbe Green Hill was quite enough to enlighten bim. So le said, with a smile, "Ah, it is you who gave us such tough work on tbE Green Hill all this time? You are General Skobelefl V He laughed and said, "Yes." "That was a very good attack of vours that evening in the fog and darkness. Verv well done. But vou did not getjt alL" ".No,", said Skobeleff; "I did nut want it all," And they both laughed. But after this momen tary ut of sunshine leuk Hey soon again relapsed into melancholy and gloom. It was partly the despond ency and sadness natural under tbe circumstances, partly the reaction on tbe extreme excitement and tention of nerves during tbe last few days when preparing for the sortie, and partly extreme lassitude and fatigue. We had hardlv swallowed our coffee when Skobeleff, taking pity on him, turned us all out. cave up bis bed to Tefik, bad another hastily made up for Colonel Galliard, and then retired and passed tbe night in a hut of one of his officers: so ended this event ful day on our side of Plevna. Heroism. In 1700, Turin was besieged by a powerful army of the French, and though the Turinese opposed to their beseigers the most powerful and skill ful defence, and kept tbem at bay for many weeks, by foiling their attacks with frcqnent surprises and sorties, and with heavy firing from the walls, yet at tbe end of three months, tbe assailants were ta far advanced, that all the defensive fortiGcations had been mastered, and one alone remain ed to the Turineso, tho capture of which, seemingly probable woulJ render citadel and the town incapable of further defence. The governor of Tnrin, Coort Iaun, in order to save the la?t post of defence, find to get rid of a tremendous battery wbk-h threat ened it, ordered a chosen bsdy of men to approach tbe battery by un dermining the ground, and to de stroy it by a subterraneous explosion. Tbe captain of these miners was Pie tro Micea. He obeyed Hauo's or ders with the liveliest solicitude and mo.n unremitting labor, and got so tar in undermining the battery, tbat nothing rernuincd to be done but to lay tbe train of powder, aud to set to it ben, lo and behold ! the oc cupants of the battery, probably prised of subterraneous operations by tbo usual expedient of putting dry peas upon a drum-head, 'which, by their disquietude, indicate tbat some thing wrong is going on below, be gan to delve and agitate the .ground from above in such a manner as to apprise the underminers that they might every minute expect a meeting witn tbe counterminers. Tbe roof of tbe subterraneous passage shook down so much dust, and brought such un welcome noises over tbe heads of the former, as to show that the battery holder had no miod to be blown up without their own consent. Tbe minutes of the awful crisis soon con tracted inte uoneou. For t whole body of sapper retire' without leaving one individual to blow op the mine, was to give up tbe wbole pro ject. No resource remained for its success but tor tome ooe to set Gre in standy to the powder in tbe mi of, though this necessarily inferred tbe death of tbe firer. pietro Micca took this task upon Limsdf, md. resolved to perish in aceotnplubfog it.' : Ue ordered bis company to retire "He member," he said to them in a mel ancholy voice, "to recommend my tender children to tbe paternal heart ot our king. Mt Bim be their sup porter and father. I die joyfully to serve my country and King.'4 He then advanced to tbe mass of powder tbat was to be exploded, set fire to it, and blowing up the battery, expired under its ruins. To this devoted act of Micca, Tnrin for that . time owed its preservation. The culprit was brought before tie magistrate and asked his name. . It was given as kachenscblager. - "Hid you shoot the dog in self defense J" "No ; I shot him in the Itk, und he ynmpeded ofer de fence." ' How expressive are tbe changes wrought by light and darkness! How marked is the contrast! Bat a few hours ago we were living in doom. Night had cast her sombre shadow over every form of grace and beaut v. All were hushed in silent repose. Now the king of day is seated upon his golden throne. He has dispersed the gloom of night. His radiant beams give new energy to living nature, while everywhere there is life and activity. This is a typical picture. Dark ncsB is the emblem of vice, ignorance and oppression. Light is tbe em blem of virtue, intelligence and free dom. As the physical world bos its days and nights, so the moral and is tellcctual world has its intervals of light and darkness. Bat light can on!r reach us through mediums. Tbat which gives brilliancy to this spacious chapel, comes streaming through tbe windows. They are the mediums of the sunbeams. Darken them, and we are in gloom ; build op the solid walls and we are in impen etrable darkness. Tho sunbeam is tbe emblem of truth and virtue; the window the emblem of tbe means by which tbe mind is enlightened. Tbe glass may be clear as crystal to let in the heralds of health, life and beauty, or it may be stained with the darkest colors to make obscure and unattractive every thing within these wa!U. Thus it is that man may welcome truth and virtue, and live with the intelligent and tbo free; or, rejecting tbeso, pine with tbo ig norant and the oppressed. In the early ages the tendency of man was to avoid the light of heavenly truth. Then the world preferred to "look through a glass darkly." For when the source of light bad disappeared from Palestine, bow rapidly gathered the succeeding darkness; how quickly fell the veil of superstition upon all nations. Then truth gave way to error, intel ligence to ignorance, and divine light to tbo base superstitions of the Papal cburch. liut there came a time when man became weary of groping in tbe dark; there came a lime when the great Luther pierced the black cloud and let in the light of revelntion feeble at first, but gath ering strength, it penetra'ed dreper acJ deeper iiito heathen mindt, uutil to-day every tribe and nation may boast ot its advantages, and every civilized people claim a Christian re ligion. Intellectual light has had its strug gle. In tbe chaos and confusion of the daik ages, few and feeble weie tbe rays that penetrated tbat cloud of ignorance. When the men of sci ence were few, the scope of intelli gence wes narrow ; but now tbat light is the power of nations and tbe strength of men. Every day brings forth somo new law, or evolves some new truth for tho benefit of society or tbe advancement of education. . Again, the stain of oppression had been one of the deepest dves in tbe world's history. Nations have Strug eled on for vears. but at every at tempt made, tbe veil of tyranny and oppression was only drawn closer, until tbe 6tar oi freedom refused to shine through the years of despot ism. But even tbat dark stain could not stand tbe crowing intelligence. Man would be free, and tbe last cen tury baa shown him capable oi rest ing tbe government npon the individ ual. Fortunately, ours is a country where tbe sunbeams of heavenly truth shine far and free ; intelligence is pro vided for on every hill-top ; while lib erty is stamped ucoa the brow of everyone that treads American soil As a nation, we look through a med ium of apparent clearness a window with no deep stain upon it. Uut are we as individuals living in the same light ? Is tbe medium of each mind transparent J We need but notice the ignorance, the selfishness, and tbe dishonesty by which we are sur rounded, to find an answer. Ab, there is diversity among individual minds. One looks through a win dow, dimmed by ignorance, clouded by superstition, darkened by selfish ness, to him, nature is veiled in ob scurity ; the fiery orbs of heaven are but so many demons created to exert an evil influence over bim ; the noble actions of tbo great and good are tbe result cf Eelfish motives. Another looks through a transparent medium a window that offers no resistance to tbe pure light of science, the genial rays of truth, the radiant sunbeams of a generous spirit. To bim, nature uncovers her hidden beauties; the the starry heavens declare tbe power of tbeir Creator ; the circle in which ho moves is made happy by his pres ence. Need it be thus? Has God creat ed one man to be happy and another to be miserable? Has he set one in the pure light and another in tbe darkness? Nay, we are free and equal. We are the authors of our own happiness: the architects of our own fortunes. Is our mental vision darkened by ignorance ? Ia the vaxt storehouse of knowledge may be found means for the culture cf every faculty. Every effort made for self improvement brings us in a purer light; every hour spent in the acqui sition if knowledge evolves new truths fur the intellect, and new beauties for the heart. Is tbe win dow of the miod stained by jealousy, selfishness, envy and vice ? Around us are our fellow-men; toey claim our assistance, tbey demand our gen erosity, they need our sympathy. But above these is be who claims our all. Tbe condition is effort on our part. Every act cf kindness gives us strength to do another ; eve ry word of cheer makes us only the richer; every good thought is a jewel to tbe thinker. It is light or datknes. and we choose the one or the other. Little by little the dust gathers on tbe pane by our neglect, or dippers s by our efforts: moment by moment the light js freaking or the gloom I gathering; day by da? wp are living in tne Hgnt OI an eoucaiea m'S9, or siaauing ue spondent and gloomy jo our own 6badow; forever sustained by the power of an approving uaumutrnte, or weighed dowa by the bitterness of a stinging remorse.. ,."., i,- v; But be it for . who here to-day begia our work, oar miasioa of life, be it for you who are treading the Dth we have trod, be it for all to avoid tba darkness, to seek tbe light; to shua ignorantM?, to spread intelli gence, to dethrone error and wrong, to uphold . truth and right i, Then, and then only, will each be a'ligbt DOtO himself' and a blessing to socie-trjf.'ii.- ir .o . f .' t JfldiaJia, .,7uly W.ISJS.

When is a jealous husband like a cat? When "he smells a rat." I THE WONDERS OF MENTAL . ACVITITT; The property in mental life called memory is that by which we may be said to live over past occurrences. and it is this continued possession of former consciousness which consti tutes in n8 tbe knowledge of contin ued existence. Ho who should be conscious only of the present, forget ting entirely the past, wonld have no idea of continued duration ; although he roigLt live forever, he would not possess tho sense of prolonged exist ence. . Memory, then, would seem to make man conscious of immortality ; and without memory now wonld be the all of life, even " though it were immortal. One corions phase of dreaming is that it rarely brings back and repeats the pleasant facts of life, but almoEt always those which were troublesome or undesirable. This may, perhaps, be accounted for by the fact tbat experiences which constituted the average current of daily life make no special impression upon tbe mind, whereas those occur ences which were remarkable and impress8ve by their offensiveness, anxiety, care or cost, made a vivid impresaion, which left, as it were, an ineffaceable scar. We are very apt to remember the errors and mistakes cf ourselves and others much more vividly than our excellencies or the average eurrent of experience. How the recollections oi an awkward blunder in company, or a careless, ill-advised remark will send a chill of bhame and regret through the system! A faithful horse may carry his rider a hundred miles without a misstep, but a round stone concealed in the sand may betray the step of the horse and bring hiru to his knees, causing the rider to give bim a bad name as a saddle-horse, forgetting the millions of steps sec a re ly taken, and remembering only the one failure, and even in tbat case overlooking entirely the adequate cause of the misstep. And this is a good ant lo .rue of human character or conduct. Oae may livo half a centu ry a model ot correct deportment, and a single act of impropriety be rt corded as more than an offset to all that was commendable. More than fifty years ago I was employed in weaving on a fly shuttle band-loom, and even now in roy dreams I am often weaving and get the shuttle caught in tbe web and break down threads, or tbo shuttle fails to get clear through, aud I tuu?t pubh it to its destination by hand. 1 never dream of dashing on freely nd pleasantly with the work; only , tberoubleome part or tbe incomplete motions are revived in my dream- memory. Over forty years ago 1 was con nected with paper manufacturing, and my work consisted in running the machine which formed the paper. As we bad no dryer, tbo paper run from press rolls, and was wound up on a reel or "lay-boy" in tbe wet state. Sometimes tbe paper would break and wind around tbe upper roller, and, if allowed long to wind on, it made a kind of wet pasteboard which must be broken at one side and peeled off bv the hand as the roll revolved. This required a very dexterous aud energetic effort, and it was one of the troublesome things about the work; and just this process I often perform in my dreams. It is not tho smooth running of the ma chine, bonr after hour without break, except when one full "lay-boy was to be removed and an empty one put on, tbat haunts my dreams, but it is tbo incidental breaking cf the paper. Moreover, I dream of driving, not on the smooth road, at an exhilarat ing speed, bnt with a toppling load on a sideling road. I am driving over a defective causeway-bridge, or through a deep and rushing stream ; phenomena, which, in my early ex perience, constituted an exceptional and unpleasant fact I once forgot, on a rainy Sunday, to feed my horse until nearly night, and fifty times since that time I have dreamed of neglecting to feed a horse for two or three days and nights, wakinir. with thankful joy. to find that it was but a dream. Will tbe memory of past misdeeds be tbe undying scourge of those whose life is misdirected and wicked ? Hrhl bMki. (juite a discussion is going on in certain sections of this State as to the propriety of school board i pur chasing tbe books necessary in their respective school districts and taxing the people for tbe same. As this is a question which pertinently belongs to tne several aistricis, ana who which no outsider has any right to interfere, we cannot but say, that 'we are decidedly opposed to any such in' novation upon tbe present system Public schools are provided tor all the children, and parents and guar dians ought or right to famish their children or wards with snch school books as are required. If books should be published at the public ex pen se we all know, or ought t) know tbat it will be ooe of tbe most fruitful sources of fraud and speculation ever introduced. Besides this, what is to binder tbe school directors from en tering into some disgraceful bargain with a bjok agent to supply tbe dis trict schools with books and bare tbe profits divided among tbem. If ever this system should be adopted there are not two districts in tbe county in which the same books would be used. Let tbe present system aloue and all these schemes and plans pro posed which have no other object m view, as we honestly believe, but SDeculation be condemned once and forever.

Many long and weary years, says ne, nave lorcea tne conclusion upon as mat tne newspaper patronage is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are eith er ignorant of the correct definition or are dishonest ia a strict biblical sense of tho word. Newspaper pat ronage is composed of as many col ors as a rainbow, aud is as change able as tbe chameleon. One man comes ic and subscribes for a paper and pays for it in ad vance, and goes borne and reads it with the profound satisfaction that it is his. He hands in his advertis ement, asks the price, pays for it and goes to bis place of business and reaps tbe advantago thereof. Anoth er man says you may put my name on your books, and goes off without saying a word about the pay. Time passes on and you want yonr money, and want bim to pay yon what is honestly due. He flies into a pas sion, perhaps pays, perhaps not, and orders his paper stopped. Another man brings in a fifty cent advertisement, end wants a two dol lar notice given it, and if you refuse be goes on mad. And this is called newspaper patronage. Another man I'Ves near you be does not take tbo paper he didn't like the editor tbe paper don't ex actly suit him yet he goes regularly to his neighbor and borrows it, and quarrels with the opinions of tbo ed itor. Occasionally he sees an article be likes; he begs or gives a half dime for tbe number. This is called news paper patronage. Another man likes the paper and takes a copy fur his family, and pays for it, and does all he can to get sub scribers ; be rarely grumbles and generally baa a cheerful word for the editor. If any little item of interest occurs in the neighborhood, ho in forms the editor. This is uewqnpt-r patronage. Another man has a patent and wautayou to give it a two dollur no tice every week ; it will be of interest to your readers, he says, but although knowing that it will beueGtbim most of all, he dues uot offer to pay fur it. This ia called newnpaper patronage. Another mau has taken the paper fur hevera.1 yctr, but has nut p iid for it, aud cumes in with a fuur or Gvc dollar advL'r.isement and asks you to insert it for nothing, because be is an old patron of yours. This is called newspaper patronage. Another man "a young man about town" no use of taking a pa per, Knows alt there is going on. uj and by be gets married, and bands in a notice with "just give a dozen copies." He gets them, and when you mention pay, looks surprised "You surely don't charge for such thing:" Ana this is called, newspa per patronage. Nov isn't newspaper patronage a curious thing ? Audio that great day when tbe gentleman in black gets bis dues, as he surely will, how many of the patrons enumerated above will fall to bis share ? Now it will be seen ihat whale certain kinds of patronage are tbe very life and existense of a newspaper, there are other kinds of patronage tbat are more destructive than tbe deadly night ebade.

Concluding tbat tbe devil was in his clothing, and that Jesus had com missioned him to go into the cburcb as naked as he came into the world, he pulled of his clothing, and in a state of nature started back in a run, followed by a constantly increasing multitude of people, who failed to overtake bim. Passing through the tn, be finally approached the cburcb. A man attempted to atop bim and was knocked renseless by a stone ; another be felled with his firt. By this time a crowd had gathered about bim, owing to a protue per spiration, which made bim as slip pery as an eel, it was difficult to hold him. Once secured and bound, he was taken to the jail at Washing ton. On Monday morning the jailor went into ms cell to irive him bis r . . looa, ana he seemed perfectly quiet anu narmiess. i he jailor passed in side tbe cell door and turned to lock it Collins at this moment picked up a heavy board and struck the jailor on the back of the head, knocking him down, and then beating bis bead iot the condition of jelly. The jail or's wifu sub.-cqucntly came in to see whut bad become of her husband; but raising ber dress to go up stair?, she did not tee Collins until she got to the top. Ho was covered with blood from Lead to foot. ColI:ns at once struck her a violent lb on the bead, knocking ber down the stair way, and then rushed to his cell, in which was his bloodv victim, a: d locked himself in. Collins is au Irishman, aud wa?, until two years a.;o, a Catholic; at that tiairt he joined the Method'st Cburcb S'Mi'b, with tbe understand iug thai Le was lo era- drinking it toxical io; liqti ire. A religious meet ing had been i i progress, and it wi s uot k'iwj that he t a J ieomo a rc ligi.niH in uo uauiiic uut 1 Sundry luoruniir Capillar, Allrartlua. N". one who looks down fium n gullery in a church upon a devout a: d (J id-liku congregation, can fail lo no tice how very prone the Uhris-.iai is to the 1ms of h'n hair. 1'iety and baldbt adedues.-i seem 1 1 g j ixgiber, thai the head uf the bt )iver may be a uhitiiuf light, a city on tbo bill. And yet if one g.iea to a godless the atre the same thing U observable. Worldliuess is as bad as piety. Tbe bloated cpi:a!i.ir. and the boroey handed son of toil arc equally liable to bartfootedutsi on tbe top of tbe bead. And ibis too iu tbe face of tbe fact tbat proud ecienee has long wrestled with the problem, and in ventions innumerable announce them selves as causing a luxuriant growth of bair. Baldheadedofss, however, does not impair a man's value in the ordinary affairs of life lie can buy or sell, insure, run a bank or accept an cluee, with uot enough hair on bis bead to make a first class eye-brow ; but when it comes t making love to a girl it is very much in the way. There is a great deal nf capilary at traction in love, tiirls adore a band- some suit of gloss v bair. It is love- ly. And when a lover conies to woo ber with the top if his bead shining like a greased pumpkin, he is at a disadvantage. Juit as tbe words tbat glow and tbe thoughts tbai burn begin to awaken in ber bosom a sympathetic thrill, she may happen to U'Jtic tw j or three flies promena ding over bis pbreoological organs and all is over. Girls are so frivo lous She immediately becomes more interested in those flies than in all bis lovely language. While he is pouriug out bis love and passion, she is wondering bow the flies manage to bold on to such a slippery sur face. Haw .'mI la Draw la ttrotla :!. Small tramways are laid frjm tbe pit bottom into almost all the work ing places, on which a light wagon called a hutch runs on slim malleable iron it steel wheels, and these bold from hix to ten hundred weight of coal, according to tbe steepness of tbe mine, or of such capacity as a man can run it up and down tbe small railway canity. On a!l the lev el roads this work is performed by horses or Shetland ponies ct late years by underground engines and wire ropes. If tbe mine be low, a pony will draw six and a full-sized horse nine or ten hutches. And by steam twenty or more to ibe wire. The main level roads run straight out from thu ,iit b u m, aud at every six places auotber level road is made, tbe Dutches beiug lowered down lo each level ly rtlf acting im lines. A Set of men called Ibe put tern Culled the hulcbt , aid biiug t li e t ol the luclioeH, when tbey are lei den by i.icline iuhu, one at ili- top, and Huo;ber at tbe bottom 1 bey ihen eouuet'te'l a id uiarhulled trains rt ady I r the bores and vers to briug ihem iulo ibe pit are iu'.o d,i- b,t t iu. This wuk isf.eo pcif rnica by tbe ton alsn, aud U cowls from G I to SJ a t 'D fjr undcriruUjd iraumt. In a large pit a great deal of uice ar rangement ii required to keep all go. log tteadi y, and for eight or ten nours a uuout stop. Jiut as all are paid by piece work, it is every one's interest t push o i tbe work, and it is really a cbitrful and auimatcd sc tt, oft ia a a lira it:d an I cheery a rf (i per ft on a barvot Geld. i -Cll anise U-e, A Xinirod who ban been in the habit of hunting deer in tbe Adiron dack m-tublains is of tbeopinioa that the deer is oft-u ra ire tbau a match for a d ir in kaaciiv. The deer seems lu !j a ell aware th u the d isicuiuVdbv his fut-uli f mi 1 1 iu tracking hiiu ; aud all liio lec a ef- foils are directed to balUiog and tbwartiosr this, keeu and wonderful scent witn which the d ig is gitted. With this purpose tbe deer will ouea make enormous leapp, or run around in a circle so as to confuse and poiule bis pursuers. He will moui'tastine wall aware tbat tbe do? cauuot ocent bim s well on tbe rock as ou tbe grass. If be can Gud a pond or stream of wattr, tbe deer will plunge in aud awitn a long dis tance, so that the dog may loose bis trail Itisajiyful sound l the poor, hunwd 4eer wbn tbe dogs send up tbat sad, dismal bowl, wbipb tbey give utterance ti when tbey ose alj scent of the deer, and despair of fjndiug it. II is then a bappy deer. Ue bides uuieily in some covert ainoog the bushes, and be will take care to place himself where tbe wind will carry all odors of bis body away from tbe direction where be supposes the dogs to be. , pa Biffl mart kI fm. r.rrV.
