FoR WHAT IS MOTHER RESPONSIBLE.
She is responsible for the nursing and
rearing of her offspring. for their physi-
cal constitution and growth, their exer-
else and proper sustenanee in early life.
Achild left to grow up deformed or mea-
gre, is an object of maternal negligence.
She is responsible for q child's habits,
including cleanliness, order, CONVERSE
ton, eating, sleeping, and general pro-
priety of behavior. A child deficient
or untaught in these particulars, will
prove living monument to parental re-
gard, because a mother can, if she will,
control children in these matters.
She is responsible for their deport-
ment. She can make them modest or
impertinent, ingenious or deceitful,
mean or manly, clownish or polite.
She is responsible for the principles
which her children entertain in early
life. For her it is to say whether those
who go forth from her 6reside shall be
imbued with the sentiments of virtue,
truth. honor, honesty, temperance, in
dustry, benevolenee and morality; or
those of contrary characteristics,
fraud, drunkenness, idleness, covetous-
ness.
She is measureably responsible for
the temper and disposition of her Ill
iren.
She is responsible for their religious
education. The beginning of all wis
iom is the fear Of God, and every moth
,r is capable, to greater or less de-
gree, Of promoting this in the minds of
ler offspring.

down it. The rider, therefore, lost time
in trying to revive him, and then had to
run the remainder of the distance afoot,
which, as he was an elderly man, had
caused delay very dangerous at least
to Thomas Streets health.
However, we had the reprieve, and
therefore Street, having been suspend
ed about five minutes, was cut down.
The doctor paused and took pinch
of snuff very slowly.
We'll, doctor, did he recover!" we
inquired.

in fact, that l could not personally at

breathe once or twice-but though or

stomach, he never recovered.

not hot brandy, hot blankets, hot air and

@The following are extracts from
Paris letter to the New York Com
mercial:
The Academy of Science viii proba-
bly, soon announce the success of one Of
its members in producing the new met
al, aluminiuD1, in abundance, at a very
low price. Hitherto the cost-S30 a
pound-rendered it very nearly useless,
in spite of its many and admirable quail
tiles. NJ. Deville is. said to have discov-
cred a means of producing it for 50 a
pound. 1t is light like glass; white and
bright like silica; inoxidable like gold;
malleable like copper; as easily nodded
as lead; as tenacious as iron; as abun-
dant as clay; and, the Academy hopes,
soon to be as cheap as dirt. 1t will be
wise to wait for the confirmation of this
intelligence, in which, however, there is
nothing impossible.
The Exhibition is gaining ground
The receipts are better, and the display
is becoming more and more complete.
The prospects of the harvest are less
fiattering than at the date of my last,
an extraordinary attack of cold, blus-
tering weather having taken place
throughout the North of France. The
yield of the year will certainly not be
abundant, and l doubt if it be sufficient.
The season is backward beside, and the
possibility of a gap between the old and
new -four is largely discussed.
The situation of the lower classes is
Just now deplorable in the extreme;
meat is out of the question, and they
never touch it; the absence of wine for
ces them to the resource of decoctions of
leaves and roots; and bread is so dear
that it is with difficulty they procure ev-
en- that. The present generation have
never passed through such period of
trial and privation.
l have to chronicle the constantly in
creasing turore created by Madame
Ristori, and the rapid decline of Rachel.
The principal dramatic authority calls
upon the Minister of State to find out
what engagements bind Ristori to the
Royal Theatre of Turin, sever them at
whatever cost, and secure the Italian
permanently at Paris. At the same
time the language held toward Rachel
is really outrageous. She is urged to
go to America, once for all, and she is
told that she need not return.

A PROPERTY QUEsr1oN.-We some
time since copied from a Chicago paper
legal decision in reference to a prop
erty in Illinois, purchased by DR.. Black.
burn with money collected by him for
the establishment of a Presbyterian
Theological Seminary in Carlinsville,
Illinois. By the decision, it was settled
against all other claimants, that the
property, now valued at $4,000,
could be used for no other purpose than
that designated in the deed. 1t has
now so happened that New School Pres
byterians have stepped forward, and by
their appointment as Trustees, have Sc
cured the management of the funds for
the support of New School Seminary.
This is certainly cool proceeding
These funds were collected from Pres
byterians before the schism of 1888, and
by law and equity they belong to the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, the only incorporated body un-
der that title, to which DR.. Blackburn
belonged. What claim, then, can a
body which has sprung up since, have
to these funds? None whatever. We
recommend no legal measures in the
matter; but it is worth inquiring into.

BENJAMIN WEsr.-A little boy, nam.
ed Benjamin West, was set to tend a
little baby, asleep in its cradle. He
looked at it kindly, and felt pleased to
see itsmile in its sleep. He wished he
could draw a picture of the baby; and
seeing piece of paper on the table, and
a pen and ink, he tried what he could
do. When his mother came in, he beg
ged her not to be angry with him for
touching the pen, ink and paper; and
he showed her the picture he had made.
His mother knew at once what it was
meant for. She was much pleased, and
kissed her little boy. Then he said, if
she liked it, he would make pictures of
some flowers she held in her hand; and
so he went on trying to do better and
better, till he became one of the finest
painters in the world.

PLAGUE AMONG CATTLE.-MEMEL,
June An consequence of the near
approach of the so-called Rinderpest,
or cattle-plague, which has been for a
long time past committing fearful rava-
ges amongst the focks and herds in
Russia, our authorities here have taken
the alarm and considered it necessary
to take some energetic steps to prevent
the introduction of the dreadful pesti-
lence in Prussia. They have, there
fore, just published a proclamation to-
tally prohibiting the importation from
Russia of horned cattle, sheep, goats,
pigs, dogs and poultry; fresh skins of
oxen, and other animals; horns, un-
melted tallow, fresh beef, furs, manure.
and stable implements that have been
used.
The following articles are prohibited
if there is reason to believe they are the
produce of infected or suspected dis
tricts: Raw wood, dried hides, and the
hair of animals, with the exception of
hogs bristles. All persons who from
the nature of their ayoeations may be
fairly supposed to have had personal
contact with infected cattle, such as cat
tle-dealers, butchers, graziers, droyers,
tanners, leather merchants, and poultry
dealers, will not be allowed to enter the
Prussian territory; and should special
reasons exist for making exceptions III
particular cases, they must remain for
some days before their admission under
the surveillance Of the authorities, sub
hitting to such regulations as may be
considered needful for the general secu-
rity.

therefore suggests a quadruple alliance
of England. France, Austria and Sar-
dinia-not to sustain Turkey, but to ex-
pei at once barbarous Christianity and
Mahomedanism from the Bosphorus.
Austria. he says, will long hesitate
before she adopts radical change in
her system of alliances; will spend time
in temporizing, but will find at last that
Russia is not her best support against
revolution and italian hostility; as to
Prussia, she never will have the manli-
ness to do any thing. Such is but a
brief outline of the remarkable provi-
sions of noble Italian in the year 1874,
and their fulflment will appear the more
remarkable when we recall the luckless
disturbing movements of 1848-9-in
the face of which the writer again de-
clared that the time for deliverance had
not come. Is there more striking ex-
ample of political sagacity on record in
the best age of Italy? The venerable
writer's family traces its descent from
the Julian family.
