THE WRoNG CoFFIX.-A late Cincinnati paper
tells the following "Quite funny incident has
come to our knowledge. 1t is not exactly wa
king up the wrong passenger. 1t was burying
the wrong coffin. The wife Of well to do Ger
man, the other day, gave birth to an infant
whose span of life was very brief indeed 1t
withered in an hour and died. The German
did not think there was need of much ceremony
in its funeral. So he called on an undertaken
and requested him to send a coffin and carriage,
and putting the corpse in the former, to put that
in the latter, and remove it to Spring Grove
Cemetery, where grave was ordered to be dug
The undertaken came and put the body into a
coffin, which he closed, and then departed
Presently the undertaker's man, an irishman,
came with carriage, and took a box lying on
the table, which he carried to the cemetery and
safely buried. When night came the German
sought his cremona, which he had left in its
case on the table. But there was no violin to
be seen. He hunted about the house and found,
not the cremona, but his babes coffin. He sent
the next day to the cemetery, exchanged coffins,
left his babe, and brought back his cremona.-
We know the story has an apocryphal air, but
it is nevertheless true"

three years ago. at a cost of $685., and is very
| pleasantly situated rise of ground in the
| village eff Buckeye. 1t is well lighted and ven-
tilated, and heated by a stove, the only valuable
article of furniture in the building. The seats
and benches plain and ordinary. The house
is sufficiently large to contain all the pupils that
will ever be in this mining school district. Dul

CUES well for Buckeye.
From the report submitted by the teachers,
the attendance shows an improvement over last

and the population being scattered, prevents so
large attendance would if the families
were concentrated, and the small amount
of money received by US from the State and
county funds, prevents the establishment of new
districts. 1t is hoped that the disposal of the
school lands will materially assist us in remov.
ing this obstacle. Apathetic indifference, gno-
rance and want of interest on the part of parents

of teachers capacity and if they do not like
them, permitted to play the truant. We need

of the advantages of the public schools for their
children.
Stirring teachers would do much if they
would the parents often, and impress upon
them the value and Importance of education, and
the duty which they to their children in
keeping them in regular attendance at school /
for without regularity and punctuaity of att

progress and make any advancement.
The per centage Of attendance is the measure
of character of a scholar, and of the estimate in
which education is held by parents. The only
way parents can give character to their children
as scholars, is to make them feel that school
must not be neglected for any excuse, save
sickness or absolute necessity.

A Battle Incident.

At the battle of the Thames, a laughable in
cident occurred, which is thus related by one
who was in the engagement:
The British General had formed his men Ia
open order, with their cannon pointing down
the road, by which the Americans were ad-
vancing Gen. Harrison Immediately took ad-
vantage of this, and ordered Col. johnson s
mounted regiment to charge at full speed, by
heads of companies, $50 as to expose the least
possible front,) pass through the open intervals,
aud form in the of the British force. The
movement was brilliantly executed by the bat
TALON, and under the command of Lieut.. Col
johnson, at the .same time having the Indians
with the other battalion.
1t happened that in one of the companies un-
der James Johnson's command, there was
huge, brawnyfellow named Lamb he weighed
about 2l0 pounds, was brave man, and good
humored as big, as brave men proverbialIy are.
Lamb had broken down his Kentucky horse by
his great weight and was mounted iutsead upon
a short, stout, wild Canadian pony from whose
sides his long limbs suspended almost on the
ground, while his burly frame rose high above
the beast, looking not unlike overgrown boy
astride a rough sheep.
When the charge was made Lambs pony took
fright and broke into run; Lamb pulled until
the bit broke in the animals mouth, and all
command of him was lost. The little pony
stretched himself to the work, dashed out of
the ranks, soon out-strpped all the file leaders,
| and pushed on in advance of the company
Lamb was no longer master of his horse or him
! self. If he rolled off, he would be trampled to
death by his friends; if the horse rushed upon
the British line with him, so far ahead OF the
rest, he must inevitably be killed. Either way
death seemed inevitable, and, to use his own
expression, he thought he'd 'jist say something
they could tell his friends when they went
| home
He struck both feet into the ponys flanks and
urged him to his utmost speed. On they drove
some fifty yards in front of the leading file
Lambs gigantic person swaying from side to
side, and his legs swinging in a most portenticu:
fashion, the little Canadian "pulling foot" al
he knew how, his tail straight, and bis nostril:

flashing from under their shaggy foretop with
all the spite and spleen Of born devil. Jus
as he got within a stride or two of the British
Lamb fourished his rifle, and roared out in {
voice of thunder, "Clear the way, for I'm com
ing!"
To his surprise the lines opened right ant
left and he passed through unhurt. So grea
was their astonishment at the strange aparatioI
of such rider and such horse moving upor
them with furious velocity, that they opened
mechanically at his word of command, and lie
him pass.
As soon as he gained the rear of thet posi-
ton, Lamb rolled on the grass, and suffered hi
pony to go his own road. few minutes more
and he was with his comrades securing tn,

The Splendor of Damascus.

Damascus is the oldest city in the world
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore ;
Baalbeck is ruin Palmyra is buried in the
sands of the desert; Nnevah and Babylon have
disappeared from the Tigris and Euphrates
Damascus remains what it was before the days
of Abraham-a centre of trade and travel an
island of verdure in desert, "a predestined
capital,p with martial and sacred associations
entending through more than thirty centuries
1t was % near Damascus" that Saul of Tarsus
saw the " light from heaven above the bright
ness of the sun = the street which is called
Strait, in which it was said ''he prayeth,n still
runs throught the city. The caravan comes and
goes as it did thousand years ago; there are
still the sheik, the and the water wheel the
merchant of the Euphrates and of the Medlter-
ranean still occupy" these "with the multi
tude of their waters" The city which Mahomet
surveyed from neighborng hight, and, was
afraid to enter, because it is given to have but
one paradise and for his part he was resolved not
to have it in this world, is to this day, what
Julian called I" the eye of the East" as it was
in the time of Isaiah " the head of Syria"
From Damascus came the damson, our blue
plum, and the delicious apricot of Portugal,
called damasco; damask our beautiful fabric of
cotton and silk, with vines and flowers raised
upon a smooth bright ground the damask rose.
introduced into England in the time of Henr,
VIII; the Damascus blade, so famous the world
over for its keen edge and wonderful elasticity,
the secret of whose manufacture was lost when
Tamerlane carried off the art into Persia, and
that beautiful art of inlaying wood and steel
with silver and gold, kind Mosac-engravng
and sculpture united, called Damascening, with
which boxes and bureaus and swords and guns
are ornamented 1t is still city of flowers and
and bright waters; the streams from from Leb-
anon, the ''rivers of Damascus" the rivers of
gold" still murmur and sparkle IN the wilder
ness of Syrian garden"

Bs5@ Within the last twenty years there have
been three instances of long delay in the or
ganization of the House of Representatives at
Washington. In 1889 and 40, towards the
close of Mr.. Van Buren's administration, the
House, which met early in December, did not
succeed in choosing Speaker until about the
first of January. The choice then fell upon r.
NJ I. Hunter, now United States Senator from
Virginia. but then serving in the House of Rep
resentatives. Again in lS49 and SO there was
long delay in the organization. The candi-
dates for Speaker were R. c. Winthrop Whig
of Massachusetts; and Howell Cobb, Democrat,
of Georgia, now secretary of the treasury. After
balloting tor three weeks, it was found impossi-
bic to elect by majority, a rule was adopted
that the person who had the highest number of
votes should be elected, whether it was ma
jority of the number cast or not Under this,
Mr.. Cobb was elected. The House of Repre-
sentatives which convened in December, 1855,
did not succeed in electing a Speaker until
February, 1856, period of eleven or twelve
weeks. Mr.. Banks, Republican, of Massachu-
setts, was then elected under the plurality rule,
similar to that of 1850. He received los votes
to 100 cast for VIM. Aiken, Democrat, of South
Carolina.@N. I. Cour. & Eng.
