cvmnastics in Swedish schools

Special pains are taken in the public schools of
Sweden to develop the physical as well as the in
tellectual powers of the pupils. The following
account is given of the system which the Swedes
pursue
Every school building has its large high room,
with earthen or matted floor, and all sorts of i'm
plements for developing the musces-ladders,
poles, woOden-horses, cross bars up to the roof,
jumping places, ropes FOR swinging, knOtted ropes
for climbing, &c. The scholars are not allowed
to exercise on what they wish, but there is reg
uIar scientifically arranged system. They are
trained in squads, and move and march, sometimes
to music, at the word of command
At large school in Stockholm | saw the lads
in their noon lessons of gymnastics. The teacher
gave the word, and dozen sprang out towards
a tall pole with cross bars, and elambering up
it, each hung with his legs; then at the word,
all together dropped their heads backward, then
again recovered themselves, and let themselves
down. Another party, one after the other, squirm-
ed up a naked mast; another pulled themselves
up hand over hand on a knotted rope; others in
succession, played leap-frog over a wooden horse
then they marched to the beat of the drum. The
smaller or weaker boys begin with the lowest grade
of exercise and follow up, according to scientific
system, arranged for health. They all seemed to
90 into it with the greatest relish, and showed
well trained muscular power. | could not but
conclude that the superior physique of the Swedish
men is not entirely due to climate. When will
America learn that health and strength have their
unescapeable IaWsl-Erch.

Crime and Disasters in New Orleans.

In our own affairs, says the True Della, we have
seldom had a more melancholy record to present to
our California readers than has trazzpired du-
ring the past fortnight The number of mur-
ders has been almost unprecedented, many of them
having been committed in perfect wantonness and
by mere boys. Fires too, of more or less magni-
tude, have been unprecedenty frequent since our
last issue-the last Of which, on the Sd of March,
we regret to state, involved the loss of three hu-
man beings who were sleeping in the building con-
sumed. The scene of this terrible calamity was
the store and dwelling of Daniel Murray on Tchou-
ptoulas street, who was absent from the city.
Mrs Murray and her youngest child escaped throgh
the store door, while the oldest, girl of sixteen,
Jumped out of the window, without serious injury.
Two other children, a boy and a girl, were con-
sumed together with young man named Patrick
Ennis, relation of the family.

Vineyards and Wine in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles county, in the cultivation of the
grape, is far in advance of any other county in
Calfornia-some of the vineyards containing as
high as $4,000 vines in bearing condition. The
Sacramento Bee in an interesting article on the
subject, states that not less than 100000 gallons
of wine were manufactured in that county last fall,
apportioned as follows 'sDr. White made 10000
gallons Mr.. Keller 10000; Sansevane Brothers,
$4,000 DR.. Hoover, 5000 D. ID. Wilson, 25,-
600; Mr.. Koher, 10000 from his own and grapes
purchased from his neighbors) Wolfskill, 5000
and some thirty others that made from 900 to s.
030 each. OF this quantity about one half is
white wine which is produced from the first crush
ing of the grape; and the other half, red, the col
or of which is caused by allowing the skins to fer
ment, from which the color is produced. One
vine, when two or three years old, will produce
ten pounds of grapes but as it increases in age,
it becomes more prolific, until it reaches one hun
dred years. Ten pounds of grapes will make one
gallon of wine, and it is considered more profitable
to make wine, than to sell grapes at less than
three cents per pound; but when farmers can OBJ
tain that price for fruit, taken it stands on the
vines, they will generally sell. OF course many
million pounds of grapes are raised more than can
be sold to dealers, and small farmers who cannot
ship to market are often glad to sell at one and a
half and two cents, but the general average price
paid is two and halfcents per pound. The wine,
as soon as made, is put into large casks and al
lowed to ferment, which it does within few hours
after which it is kept from the air until sent to
market. 1t sells at from seEenty-ive cents to one
dollar and twenty five cents per gallon, at which
price it pays the farmer a large profit, and enables
all, who desire, to drink article of pure wine
at comparatively small price, Erch.

IRELASD-A BIG BrTE.-Bishop Simpson, in
his travels in Ireland, thus describes the country
through which he passed
In passing through the country / found two
things different from what had expected. First,
the land is not so wholly occupied nor so perfectly
cultivated as had fancied. had supposed the
whole island to be a garden, but l found waste
places and poorly cultivated lands. The country
is also much more hilly mountainous than a
garden can be. Ranges of mountains skirted the
view nearly the whole length of the road. On
the east were the Gsltee mountains, and on the
western range is a high peak with a remarkable
notch, called the DEVILS Bite. Various legends
are connected with this spot The Killarney
boatmen told me that it was said that Satan was
chasing some souls that had just escaped from
purgatory they fled across this mountain into the
province of Connaught whereupon Satan, couclu-
ding that Connaught was about as bad as purgato-
~ ceased his pursuit. and contented himself with
biting a piece out of the mountain summit, and
splitting it after them.-Similar stories the inhabit
ants of the different provinces delight to tell in re-
ference to each other.
