EDUCATION IN BRAzIL,-Boys are care

early age. the sons of the wealthy are
sent to the coi}egio, or boarding achoel,
and by their twelfth year generally ac-
quire the manners oI''lule old men," the
stiff black hat, standing collar and cane.
They walk the streets as though every
body was looking at them, and as rigid
as though they were encased in corsels.
They are well instructed it, the languages.
OF late, the "cramming system" has,
however, been falling il t. tisrepue. The
Superintendent of Public Instruction has
extended his authority within college
walls. The military, naval and medical
academies, generally complete the cures,
There are likewise common schools, sup.

DEFENSE OF PrNS.-The Boston Post
offers the following excuse for its numer-
Gus outrages on the common sense Of our
language: 1t is remarkable that Sidney
Smith, the pivot Of whose excellent jokes
were so often a pun, should have spoken
i'll Of this kind OF wit in his Lectures on
Mental Philosophy. On the contrary,
Hood, the most prolific aud most ngeni.
Gus of punstcrs, defended his jeu de mots
agains, all antagonists. Only duh people |,
he inslnuatcs, are opposed 10 puns. at
is not wunderful." he says, "lhat people /
dislike hoo senses who with difficulty un-
derstand one )" sharp saying and los, +.
cally as well as witty pat. Undoubtedly. .
bad puns are bore. So is bad gram
mar bat that proves nothing against the
genuine hing. All attempts at wit by
ounces are offensive, whatever may be
the kind attempted. Bunglers bring all
manner Of fine arts into disrepute ; and |
punsters who have no wit-who are
mere wordmanglcrs are responsible
Tor all the odium which attaches to puns.
1t is something to know that puns have
never gone out Of fashion, and that the
art has been greatly improved by modern
scholars. Cicero made puns that Swift
would have pecn ashamed of. The puns
of great authors are, most Of them,
clumsy enough while Punchs puns are
often perfect. Jerrold's best Jokes were
based on puns. So were Lambs, and
Foote'S, and Qunns. Though Johnson
professeG to hate prns, his best retort had
a pun patent at the bottom of it. 1t is
rather late in the day to expect much
in anything, yet there are
many clever puns to be made yet.

A Loss OF THREE THOUSAND LIVES
About the beginning of February last,
some three thousand inhabitants Of Tan
ganroS, on The sea of Azolf, relying upon
the promise of fair weather made by the
genial atmosphere and cioudless sky, pro
cceded to the Azofl Sea to indulge in the
sport of fishing beneath the icc--a favor
ite paStime OF that region. The atmos-
phcre continuing serene, they were lulled
into feeling of security and venlured
farther than usual upon the ice, in the
hope of obtaining good haul. Sudden.
ly II breeze sprung up from the East,
which growing boislerous by degrees,
whirled the loose snow and fine particles
of ice in all directions, and before long
succeeded in detaching the ice hom the
shore. The large icefed then broke into
numerous pieces, which, with their terri
fed and helpless human freight, drifted
towards the open sea. No assistance
could be rendered the unhappy beings by
their frantic relatives and friends on shore,
and within two hours, not a sign of life
was visible on the snrface of the sea. At
least three thousand persons found a wa,
terry grave.
