A Tough Eagle Story.

The Marquette Journal is responsible for a pretty tough story about an adven- tnre of one William P. Merthevet, from an interior town of Iowa.
 In a solitary hunting expedition to- wards the region of Dee Lake, we reach- ed poiot on small branch, running sonthwsrdly from the Carp river. in section p, township B, of 2S, west. Early one morning his attention was attracted by l'sslling sound.as some tremendous bird was flying through the thick foliage overhead. He look ed up and 10 his astonisllment and ad- miration bcheld golden eagle with outstreched wings just alighting upon u dead limb some two feet only above his head. Seizing a knotted pine stick weighing some twelve or fourteen pounds and abcat five feet in length. he struck at the birds head, but the bird caught the blow on his wing and warded it efi, and immediately retalia- ted by sweeping from his peaieh upon MT. Merthevet head and seizing his nose with his beak and planting his tal- ons in his right eye, dislocated the one and seriously injured the other
 This was accomplished be:ore the un- fortunate man could pick up his case kni.e which was lying inst on stone T few spaces off. His rife hang on the rwig of a trei several spi'ecs distant. Mr. Merthevet succeeded in disengag- ing himself from the grasp or the eniu- riated bird, and bleeding and blinded he rushed for his rifle and seized his knife. A second time the bird return ed to the attack but this time was met on the point of knife which the man plunged into his body under one wing, while the eagle struck him vi- olent blow that feled him to the earth. The bird now attempted to fly alot but the knife had reached a vital point, and Tapping his wings with dull scream. he fell liteiess on the grounva.
 Alter a time Mir. Merthevet recover cd himself sufficiently to rise, aud ban dage as we'll as he could his wounded eye and broken nose, took up his march for the nearest point of shelter This he found at the camp oi some In. dian who dressed his wounds and cared for him until he was able to returned home.

Education of Children.

A London writer protests against the desire commonly prevailing among parents and teachers 10 rush children forward in their studies without any regard 10 their health. Five or six years, Ire asserts, are not too much f6 teach . child to read, spell and write well. He adds; There is, indeed, among all classes, disposition tocram, and any one attending the exafhtinatf ion of village school 'cahnot but feel the absurdity of the questions put. Sub- jects are learned by rote, 70 be forgot ten fs yo6n0 as the examinations are over; and rhe snsnner in which the children read slrows 4row inefficient the teaching has been. According to the sysrt.m as present followed, it is impossible for an ordinary child to read decentv; they have no time to learn. There is class, alsl each child has to read q sentence; thisis repeated in nasal sing-song tone, without any infection Of voice or proper emphasis when the book is passed to the last child, it comes back to the first, until the lesson is ovef. How can there be any interest or emulation? Even the sense must be lost. Children attend school from nine in the morning till twelve, and they return again at two and remain till four. These are too many hours for any child to be sitting still, boring over lessons. Three hours a day is as much as a child can apply, allowing fer intervals, for it cannot De supposed that tir'ec hours continuous study can be good for any child under ten years old. l: 8 different system
 were established, tlfere cannot be a doubt that more real learning might be imparted, and great deal. ol practical information acquired besides. Sup pose reading, writing and aaStlmeiic
 were only taught to children up to ten
 years old, all the day need not be spent in sffese; and if arrangements were made to occupy the children, in succes- sion in some active employment, by
 which their intellects might be shar- pened and kept alive, there can be gro
 doubt tina; vast Improvement would be apparent.

MORE TO BE DREADED THAN WORMS.

MORE TO RE DREADED THAN WORMS. The Shreveport South Western says: We have nothing favorable from any quarterto notice ofthe cotton crop. As we stated last week, the worm has made clean sweep ot the weed. lea wing from onc-third to one-half of a crop, which, with favorable weather, may be saved. The country above the raft, more particularly that portion which trades with Jefferson. is suffering severely from the ravages ot the worm, but we will venture to say that Jef1er- son will receive as much cotton this year as she did last. Our planters, at the first appearance of the worm. were sorely alarmed to see the prospects of a full crop whittled down from one- half to two-thirds, but as it became apparent that they would save at leas. one-third they got bravely over it. and if a man wants to get good thrashing on short netice, just let him say worm to them. The only drawback now is the ,aziAess of the freedmen and their penchant for political meetings. We have more to dread from this. than from the caterpillar.

The Ram:e--A New Scsther Staple.

From ihc No,fo.A tVa.) JoGrna
 We have been shown specimen ot this new soutnern staple, which is said to be superior in productivcncss 10 cotton. and to both cotton and fl tx us Il textile. it was introduced into Ameri- ca from the island of Java By Doh Beniio Roezl, the Austre Belgian botanisi, and brought by him to Ha- vana and New Drtcans in 1867. The fiber oi the plant is purely white, and of n silky appearance-finer ,han any cotton or flaxlinen, and stronger. In Il w,rm latitude the plant is hardy and vigorous. The crops are taken, like tiose of oaHe. by cuttis.g it at gro~nd. From the rattoons spring new growth, more vigorous, it is said, than the for mcr. Im Louisiana. middle and lower Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Georgia' Florida and South Carolina, three or tour cuttings may be obtained during the year. It is best adapted to rich, sandy growth, and is planted by cut tinss oi roots or stalks, or by layers. When well rooted it will yield about 800 pounds of the fiber to the acre, and has been sold in England at sixty-tive cents q pound. Experiments oi Preach botansts have evo,ved the following advantageous points:
 1. The ramie is stronger than Euro peaa hemp.
 ?. IL is fifty per ceat, stronger than the best Belgian fiaxen or linen fiber
 3. The fiber may be spun as fine as that oi flax, and will prove twice as durable.
 4 itisa vigorous grower, and will produce the greatest amount vl textile fiber of any plant known.
 5. It will produce, in the belt in which it fiourishes, from three to five annual crops, each equal to the best gathered rom hemp.
 The machinery invented by Mr. Roezl tor cleansiag it may be obtained at moderate cost, and it is simple in construction, and light. In lSt5 he sent fifty tierces,, or 5000 Spanish pounds. to England, where it sold ut double the price O: the quality of cot ton,
