The absence Of civil law; but q generous writer
would waive such privilege and conform to tho

ing "thc past week has boon pregnant with
educational interest, and examinations havo oc-

how this largo numerical force is managed, drilled

TO Keep Babies Quiet.

Tnke an alligator seven feet long, and
after keeping him in box few weeks,
until he has become accustomed to chill,
dren, turn him loose in the room, and the
children may play and fondle with it as a
young kitten, and in short time your
family will become so much attached to the
beautiful creature that nothing will induce
them to part with it. For the genuineness
OF this method we print the following from
washington cotempOrary mo" -
ut will be remembered that some six
weeks ago we mentioned the fact that an
alligator, which had been captured in the
harbor of Baltimore and exhibited at the
Schuezenfest near that city, had found its
way to Georgetown. 9, 1t was then repre-
sented as about six feet long. 1t is now in
possession of Mr.. George Thecker, of the
Fountain Head Hotel, Bridge street, and
mas grown considerably, measuring i'm
length fully seven feet, and. has be-
come quite tame, so much SO that the
children of the proprietor play and fondle
with it as with young kitten. Hundreds
resort to see the strange creature, and the
family of the proprietor has become so at
tached to it that nothing will induce them
to part with it." y'-. ~ y Il5IIiI :
