care We CiviliZed?"

This inquiry is made by a
writer in the Boston Transcript,
and relates to the inhabitants of
Massachusetts,. 1t is called out
by the fact that, since the COM
plants aroused by the stripping
and fogging of young ladies in
the Massachusetts schools, new
method of punishment has been
adopted, which consists of open
ing the child's mouth, and filling
it with Cayenne pepper!
Were such punishment lniict-
ed on tough old negroes in South
Carolina, the answer would 60 up
from tens of thousands of Massa-
chusetts throats, "They are not
civilized-they are barbarians!"
But the inhiction of such pun
ishment upon young children in
Massachusetts is different mat
ter. Before any 'loyal" man will
dare to say the inhabitants of this
righteous Commonwealth are not
civilized, it will be necessary that
a Committee of Congress shall
decide as to the effects of Cayenne
pepper in reconstructing infantile
habits and behavior. -

Japanese Jugglers.

One of the feats of the Japanese
.jugglers now in San Francisco, on
their way to the Paris Exhibition,
is thus described: -.
San old man lies on his back,
with his feet in the air, little
boy mounts and stands upon them.
An oval tub is passed to the boy,
which he places under his feet
and upon the mans, another is
given to him which is added to
the first, and so on until the lit
tie fellows head touches the pros
cenium from the tottering pile,
which is all the time supported by
the strong and muscular chap be-
low. a,
"The little fellow makes his
salaam to the audience from his
dizzy height, cody fans himself,
as he surveys the situation, and
appears as unconcerned as if re-
posing on terra frma. Suddenly
one of the performers uttered an
exclamation in Japanese which
was responded to by another
The old man, the foundation of
the pile, takes up the chorus, the
little fellow at the top jerks it
out like the snapper of a whip,
the foundation gives his feet a
kick-things look squally for lit
tie Tommy-the audience fear
that he will fall and break; or be
terribly bruised among the boxes;
the old man beneath appears in
imminent danger also from the fall
ing tubs, but no, he gives his feet
a kick, throws the tubs entirely
from him, and Tommy drops like
a cat, alighting with feet upon the
old mans and in an upright po-
sition." e

The CHARLOTTESVILLE CHRoNI-
CLE's PLAN.-The Charlottesville
Chronicle says:
If Congress would take advice
we could help them to the recon-
struction of this Southern coun-
try, and save them many words.
The object is to make the people
down here loyal. Our plan is:
1. A Constitutional amendment
declaring that south of the Ohio
black is a better color than white.
2. Let there be universal black
male, suffrage, and also allow a
white man to vote where he has
negro wife.
8. Transfer one half of the land
to the blacks, and let them hire
white labor. -f.
4. Transfer the other half of
the land to settlers from New
5. When all the native whites
have pretty much died out from
broken hearts and other diseases,
on some set day (say the 4th of
JulY,) drive out all the niggers-
and give the whole country to the
Yankees.

The Royal Arch Masons in
Washington propose to "secede"
from the Grand Chapter of Mary
land and the District of Columbia,
and to form a Grand Chapter for
the District. The principal rea-
son for this is that the Maryland
Royal Arch Masons cling to the
old system of work, which has

adhered to it for years. So Royal

Fashions.

The following are the latest
fashions for ladies, which will be
universally adopted, owing to their
admirable adaptation to the season
and the climate of this latitude
Winter Bonnet-The latest style
consists of a postage-stamp with
strings of green ribbon. The
hair is carefully combed back SO as
to give the air uninterrupted ac-
cess to the roots, and the ears and
neck. The style is highly recon-
mended by physicians. A box of
Shefulli's neuralgia ointment ac-
companies each bonnet.
Shirt-The new hoop skirt, also
recommended by physicians, COM
mences expanding under the arms
articles for skating and
sleigh-rides. A bottle of Kubleg's
lotion sold with each
skirt.
Tains-Crinoline is to be dis
and trains from one-half
to two yards in length will be
worn. In view of this fact, the
city governments have discharged
the regular street sweepers, as their
places will be filled by female vol
unteers.

THE SUN SETS CLEAR

All day, the low, dark clouds have swe
s Across the ashen sky;
Since morn this lonely gloom hath ere
All dark and sullen by;
In vain we've looked to see blue sky
To glad our hearts depressed;
In vain we've looked for light on high
To give our longings rest.
But in the west the clouds roll back,
A crimson line appears, o..
Meath Natures pail of gloomy black,
That shed so many tears.
And now the roseate, golden hues
That burn where sets the sun,
Refresh our hearts, likemorning dews,
Of hope when life begun. 80 fe
Meath opal skies doth sink to rest
The day so dark and cold;
With mountains brow and rivers breast,
All bathed in CLEANS of gold,
The gently pale bright western skies,
We've not grief nor fear, .a
For all that's sad so quickly flies
When joyous suns set clear.
In travelling cross the strands of life,
Dark clouds oft hover round,
And hearts grow weary in the strife, -.
Before the goal is found.
But joyous will the eve draw nigh,
Dispelling every fear;
If Faith but light the western sky,
Lifes clouded sun sets clear.

There was sold at public auc-
ton, a few days since, at Allen
town, Pa, a chair, the age of which
has been traced to 21S years at
least, having passed by regular
succession from the ancestry of
deceased to this period. 1t is
probably the Oldest piece of house
furniture in this country, and is
known to have served as the seat
of at least seven persons on the sol
emn occasion of their exit from
earth. Its style is of rustic or
der, being a rush-bottom. In these
days of spring-bottoms, this old
relic takes the mind back into the
primitive past.

In chemistry the best way to
separate two bodies is to introduce
a third. The same holds true in
other departments. To increase
the distance between a pair of low
ers, all that's required is to let
little Willie walk into the back
parlor holding a lighted candle in
his hand.

The agricultural papers are re-
commencing the shooting of an
imals, especially hogs, instead of
sticking them. A pistol carrying
a ball as large as pea will suffice
for the work. Walk quietly up
to the animal, say within six or
eight feet, and discharge the ball
into the head, midway between
the ears, but a little below them.
IF the shot has been a true one,
he will fall dead instantly, and
probably without the sensation of
pain. He may then be bled at
once.
