/ AKEcDoTE OF. An O1D YoRKsH1EE
SCHOLARSHIPS Many anecdotes are told
of the quaint manners and sayings of the
peasant schoolmasters. When atfirst eff
forts were made to improvetlie elenien-
.tary instruction of the poor, one of them,
who had. been parish clerk fer many
byears, was superseded in his Office as
teacher, and fresh crack youth from a
training college was appointed in his
stead. This was a sore affection to old
Didasealos, and he sometimes attended
the classes in the hopes that he7 might
catch his successor tripping. The oppor-
tunity was not long in coming. The new
master gave a lesson OH the. indefinite
article "A,'' said he, is oce, and can on
ly be applied to one thing. You cannot
say a cats, a dogs, but only a cat, a dog.
Away went the parish clerk, elated at
the ignorance of bis successor, land, meet
ing the clergyman, said, ''Here's'a pretty
fellow you'v got to teach school! He
says you can only apply the articles a
and an nouns of the singular number !;
and here have en-'isaying. Amen all
my life, and your reverence has never
once corrected me !, -..''.-.-

PERFUME.-The use of perfumes was
common among the hebrews. and the peo-
pie Of the East, and was at first entirely
to sacred offices, as an incense to! the
gods, the amounting of the priests, OF the
embalming of the dead. Afterwards,
perfumes were carried in small boxes sus-
tpended from the neck and so came tohbe
ordinarily used. f97

There was q funny controversy in the
antislaycry meeting in. New York, We'd
nesday evening. Parker Pillsbury had
been abusing Senator Wilson and declar-
ing him ''two fold more the child of help
since his conversion to the church, when
Stephen s. Foster, of Worcester, varied
the diversion by introducing resolution
in favor eff woman. suffrage. Wendell
Phillips, the President declared the reso-
luton out of order Foster appealed
from the decisio-, and told Phillips he
was using too much authority, and if
the Convention did not pass his resolu-
ton he could not stand upon this plat
form. Mrs. Foster, wife of Stephen s.,
rose and shook her umbrella at him, took
Mr.. Phillips part, belaboring her worser
half soundly, not with her umbrella but
with her forcible words. Wendell and
Abby were too much for Stephen, aud
the Convention voted him and his resolt-
tion down. There would probably have
been secession and new anti-slavery
society under Foster, had not Miss Anna
Dickinson come to the rescue and poured
oil on the troubled waters in the shape
a resolution saying that the Society
ought not to dissolve finally till female
suffrage is established. '''.-iehJ,f i@7d .

Maldavian Islanders eat alone. They re-
tire into the mosthinder4 parts of their
houses and then draw down the cloths
that serve as blinds to their windows,
that they may eat unobserved: On the
contrary, the islanders of the Philippines
are remarkably sociable. Whenever one
of them finds himself without a con1pan-
ion to partake of his meal, he runs till be

petite may be, he ventures not to satisfy
it without guest. The tables OF the

whose forces number $4,000 men.
1t Is also reported that Escobedo had taken

the Liberals, who received peremptory orders
to march Immediately for the Interior and en-
trust the keeping Of the town to the police
force.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

IhE DEPARTMENT Or AGkltI bTUkE.
This department of the Government has ac-
complished great dea, Of good, and like all
other useful institutions has encountered a
considerable amount Of opposition. The pres
ent efiicient Commissioner, Isaac Newton. has
come in for fair share Of the abuse 70 which
all our public men are subject, and there is
now a persistent effort being made to have
him removed from his position. IL is not de.
MED that he is honest, capable aud faithful in
the discharge OF his duties, while it ia admit.
ted that the department under his manage
ment Is really doing great deal towards pro.
noting our agricultural interests not only by
the dissemination OF useful information as to
improved methods of cultivation, but by the
distribution of rare seeds, plants, kc. And
here no doubt is where the trouble originates.
10 thorough and impartial Is this distribution
that many spec In seeds find their bust.
ness on the wane, and attack the depart
ment which interferes with their monopoly
THESE men. and Others who cannot use the
Department TO serve their own ends, start the
cry, not that the presen; chief is dishonest or
unfaithful. but that he is iliiferate; and exag.
gerated reports OF his grave errors OF syutax
and prosody are freely circu lated. Ii such
stories are true, then 10 must be admitted con
sideriAg the work OF the Department. that the
COMMISSIONED has certainly surrounded him
