MARTIN LUTHER'S ACTIVITY.

From 1917 to 1926, the first ten yesrs of the Re
formation, the number Of his publications was three
hundred; from 1927 to 1886, the second decade,
the number was two hundred and thirty-two: and
from Is 81 to 1916, the year of his death, the num-
Der was one hundred and eighty-threc. His fist
book was published in November, 1917, and he
died in February l556-an interval of 20 years
and four months. In this time he published seven
hundred and fifty volames-an average of more
than twenty-five a year, or one a fortnight of his
public life. lie did not 60 through the manual labor
of all this writing, it is true, for many OF his pub
published works were taken down from his lius by
his friends and it is also true, that several Of
the volumes were small enough to be demomina-
ted pamphlets; but many of them. also are large
and elaborate treatises. Ia the circumstances in
which he wrote, his translation Of the Bible alone
might be considered as a gigantic task, even if he
had had a life timo to devote to it.-N. Y. o.

MISHAPS IN A THEATER.

They are having a run of very bad luck at the
Broadway Theater. Night before last, a horse leap.
ing a chasm, of II feet width, as is required in the
spectacle of ''Herne, the Hunter" did his duty but
found no bridge to bring him up properly, and so
tumbled oyer-rolling his rider under him. Last
night matters were still worse. The curtain was
down very often where dropping the curtain was
not desirable. Anne Boleyn'S grand entry upon the
stage was arrested by the crashing of the platform
over which her chariot and six horses were to pass
two Of the horses dropping through into the eel
lar. In the fitting scene, a splendid horse, rode by
Sylvester, came full tilt to the foot-lights, and not
meeting the expected check there from his oppo-
nent, pitched over them and fell upon the sharp
iron spikes Of the railing that separated the par
quette from the orchestra. The poor brute was
raised in great agony and borne off behind the
scenes. The rider was not seriously injured, nor
any of the audience. though some of those in tho
parquette were terribly frightened. Other acct
dents were not wanting; some Of them, however,
rather contributed to, than detracted from, the 1T
tie amusement of the eyeDing.-NeU York Times.

NEW YORK STATE IDIOT ASYLUM.
Angola 1856.

A few years since, the country people in the
neighborhood of the Bulls Head tavern on the
Troy Road, when they were told that it was to be
fitted up as q school-house for idiots, shook their
heads, and pretty generally agreed that folks who
thought natural fools could be taught any thing,
were but little better than natural fools them
selves.
The school was opened, however. and has grad
ually risen in popular favor, until now the old Bulls
Head has got too small to accommodate the large
number of pupils for whom applications pour in
from all parts of the State. The State, to whom
10 small portion Of the credit of making the
experiment belongs, is now erecting q large asy-
lum at Syracuse, where the purposes OF the in
~stitution can be more fully and effectively carried
out.
The present building stands a little out Of the
city limits, a few rods back from the turnpike. 1t
is a plain, unpretending brick house. Inside, it
looks very much like any other boarding school.
If you visit it to see its operation, DIR. Wilbur
takes you first into a small building, disconnected
with tle main one. This room, you at fist, per-
haps, conjecture to be a gymnasium, Tor two lad
devs run up to the ceiling, while a third is laid
across horizontally, connecting them, and under it
is a mattress. There are two square tables, around
which are seated perhaps a dozen boys and girls of
six to sixteen years old, apparently playing with
the blocks, colore1 balls, printed cards, etc., that
lay on them. A young man at one, and a young
woman at the other, are talking to the children
constantly in loud. but CHEEKY, kindly tones, as If
stimulating them to 60 GA with their work or play,
or whatever it is. The pupils do not have the
vacant stare nor the low retreating foreheads, nor
exhibit the personal neglect you expected. One or
two have unprepossessing faces, and three or four
are cross eyed, Aut nearly all look intelligent, and
and all are neat some Qzite pretty. You are a
novelty to them, and they follow you with grati6ed
eyes most of them laughing heartily. This is the
first indication they give you of being idiots. for
we're they sane and sensible they would under
stand that visitors are not always a matter of re-
joieing.
These are the newest eomers. Here are one or
two as yet scarcely taught even TO use their senses.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

you lock in upon the row, with their neat aprons,
clean faces, and smoothly brushed hair, sitting
patiently aud decorously until they are helped to
the dishes before them, you would hardly believe
that they belong to the wild, Uncomfortable class OF
beings that are commonly known as idiots.
That the discipline is firm and strict, you can
but believe on seeing these effects OF il, and on
watching the ready obedience yielded to the teach
ers. Yet that it is marked by parental gentleness
and kindness, cannot be doubted whcn you see
with what engerness they comply with the teach
ers' wishes, with what satisfaction they resolve
their approval, how they turn to them In every dill
Guilty or fear, and what afTcetionate regard they ex-
hibit for each and all of them. One Of the teachers
told US she had found them Saving lack Of com.
prcbension)cosic to manage than other children Of
their age. Certain it is, that few
can enter their recitation rooms assured of 50 joy
full and afcctionate n reception as that which greetS
the entrance of Dr. WILDER. Not only the state,
but the world owes him n debt Of gratitude for his
successful experiment, which we trust is yet to be
the means of lifting up into the scale of humanity
many a poor being hitherto left in mental darkness
and bodily misery.

A HISTORY
Of the Most Remarkable Ertremttics of Cold wihin
a Space Of Fourteen Hundred Years.

From a long article in the Edinburgh Reuier we
extract the following
In tho year 40l the Black Sea was entirely
Frozen over. In 4U2 the Danube was frozen 50 that
iheadmare marched on the ice to Swabia to avenge
his brothers death. In GAO, the cold was so in.
tense that the strait of Dardanelles and the Black
Sea was entirely frozen over. The snow in some
piaees driitsd to the depth of fifty feet, and the ice
was heapod IN such quantities in the cities as to
cause the walls to fall down. In $50, the Adriatic
was entirely frozen over. In SOL, and also in Sg3.
the vines were killed by ftost, and the cattle died
IN the stalls. In 99l, the winter lasted very long,
anu was extremely severe. Everything was frozen.
anu famine and pestlence closed the year. In
lVoi, the cold was so intense that most Of the
travellers in Germany were frozen tn death on the
ROADS. In Il33, 1t was excessively cold in Italy :
the 10 was frozen from Cremona to the sea the
snow rendered tue roads impossible the wine
casks burst, and trees split by the frost with an
immense NOISE. In ZIG, the river Pc frose to the
depth OF sixteen ellis, and wine also burst the casks.
In 1874, a pine forest was killed by the frost nj
Ravenna. In 1896, the frost was most intense in
Scotland, and the Categat was frozen between
Norway and Jutland. In 1889, the houses in
Austria were luried with snow. In 1899. the
kline was frozen, and in Germany six hundred
peasants were employed to clear the way for the
Austrian army. In 1874, all the rivers in Italy
we're frozen over. In 1884, the winter was SO
severe that the Rhine and .Scheldt were frozen, and
even the sea at Venice. In l4GS, the winter was
70 severe in Flanders, that the wine was cut with
~hatchets to be distributed to the soldiery. In 1870.
tho frost was very intense in England and Den.
mark both Little aud Great Belt were frozen over.
IN ioo4, many Forest trees, and even the oaks in
England were split with the frost. In 1872, the
cold was so excessive that the starved wolves en- or.
ed Jenna. aud attacked both men 2Id cattle. The
cold Of ll49 was scarcely inferior to that of 1892.
and the Iuyder Zee was entirely frozen over. In
100, much snow fell, and the Danube bore ice FIVE
feet thick below Vienna.

A SINGULAR CASE IN ENGLAND.

The following story is now the talk of a village
III the parish of Halifax, and bordering on brad
ford Eng. 1t appears, according to the Leeds
NeTcuTy, that d certain woman, feeling her spouse
an encumbrance and unmindful of her marriage
VOWS and the rigors of the law, resolved on his
disposal after a method, now, alas, too common.
She applied to the druggist of the village fol six.
pennyworth of arsenic. lie very properly refus-
ed to sell her the article, and informed her husband
OF the application, at the same time inquiring Of
him for what purpose his wife could require such a
quantity Of such an article. The husband replied
jocularly, tina, he could not tell, unless it was for
the purpose of poisoning him, and telling the drug
gist that if she applied again he must sell some
harmless article in lieu of the arsenic, and they
would sec what her objects were.
She did apply again, and the wary apothecary
delivered her some comparatively mucous drug,
warning the husband of what had occurred. When
he went home he found a meat pie prepared for
Inner. lie pretended; at first, want of appetite
and invited his wife to help herself. She refused,
and at last he ate a quantity of the pie. In a little
time he professed himself u1well; then feigned
thirst; then alarming sickness; and finally death.
The :reacherous women manifested great concern
during these serious proceedings, but the instant
death appeared to her to have occurred, she passed
a rope through the chamber floor, and knotteG it
to her supposed dead husbands neck, in order Chat
when neighbors were called in he might appear
to have hanged himself. She then ran up stairs.
to draw up and fix the rope. The instant she had
disappeared, the dea6 man revived, released him.
self from the rope. and passed it round the let of
the table, AID the woman hung that useful domes.
tic article instead of the other one-her husband.
The latter ran up stairs inquiring of the faithless
woman, "what she was after, drawing the table up
that way" The affair was ended for the present
in his, as the phrase is, taking the law into his own
hands. lie has given her, as the Yorkshire folks
say, "a right down good hiding"

GES. HoUsroN's HoUsE.-A correspondent of
the U6anna Caizen travelling in Texas says:
This afternoon we passed the farm and resi-.
dence of Gen. Sam. Houston. His house is rather
a primitive affair, being a one-story, double hewed
log cabin, with an entry between a rough stone
chimney at each end, a porch in front, surrounded
by live oaks, negro cabins and sheds, and the
whole enclosed by crooked rail fence-showing a
lack of order in the original proprietor. His farm
is partly in the town of Independence, a little one
horse place. with some of its houees tumbling
down, and the rest looking as though they had
always been there.
