An Extraordinary Woman.

In the adjoining town Of Stratham
there now lives woman named Miss
Nabby Robinson, Of whom tho neighbors
related most extraordinary things, Miss
Nabby Is now o. years Of ago and Is Wig
orous and hearty rs most women Of fifty.
She still does housework, milks the cows,
makes butter and cheese and reads with
out spectacles. She is small In stature
and never weighed over ll6 pounds, but
her ncighbors say she has been the strong
est woman ever known In this region.
Any number Of stories Of the fcats she has
performed are related, but We only give u
couple Of samples, which are well authcn-
ticatcd.
When she was In the prime of life sho
was once passing ncighbor's house
where two mon were rigging up planks,
&C.. upon which TO roll four barrels Of ci-
der into wagon. Nabby laughed ut
what she called their "cob- houses" and
when they rctortcd with something about
"wonian's nonsense" she showed them
specimen Of her "nonsense" by picking
up the barrels of cider one nfter another
and putting them into the wagon with ap-
parent ease.
At another time Miss Nabby wns at tho
store of Major Avery, In Greenland, where
several men were lining barrel Of new
rnm. Nabby told them she could lin II,
whercupon the Major looked mt the little
woman In astonishinent and told her II
sho would he would give her the barrel
and contents. At this Miss Nabby took
hold and placed IL upon the counter. The
Major acknowledged himself beaten and
told her she was welcome TO the rum.
One of her friends says she took Il out and
Knocked In the head Of the barrel, but

The Kind Of Teachers Needed at
the South.

A correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bunc, writing from the South. gives his
ideas OF the kind and quality Of the teach
crs needed In that section 10 build up
civilization that can stand by itself. He
says:
"a teacher must be many. .sidcd-he
should know how TO plow NJ well as TO
pray-as we'll how to earn the bread which
supports the body that pcrishcs, rs how to
help impart the bread that nourishcs tho
soul that never dies. Tho freedmen arc
only children, and they need TO be taught
almost everything: hence. the teacher
must have varied knowledge. Mechanic
nj minds arc equally needed with rclig-
ious ones. There are magnificent forests.
from which lumber should be cut for
building cheap and comfortable houses,
and more circular saws are needed than
some of these poor women can count.
Tho lack Of chairs. bedstcads, tables,
stands and every other kind OF furniture
Is universal, and thousands Of men could
be employed II there was any one TO set
them TO work. have no faith In any ed
ucational or missionary enterprise when
bcdstcads arc scarce. II II In vain 70 sing
about the 'soitness Of dying bed In con-
nection with sublime faith, when the

with bark rope and rags for bcd-clothcs.
II we have typo OF civilization moro
prominent than another, II Is In q decent

room; for by no other means can there be
sound sleep TO prepare one Cor tho duties
Of the day, and To give q proper develop

An Unpleasant Situation.

I'm certain that wish some ono would
spank that young rascal. We talk Of hills,
mountains, wales, cataracts-I believe
said waterfalls. when the boy spoke up
and said:
"Why, sisters got trunk full Of 'cm
up stairs pap says they're made out Of
horse.hair."
This revelation struck terror into mo
aud bushes into the cheek Of my fair com.
panion. It begun to be very apparent to
me that must be very guarded In what I
said, lest the boy might slip In bis rc-
marks ut uncalled for places In Esct !

him he anght TO 60 home with me, and
see what fine chickens we had In the
country. Unluckily ! mentions yoke
of calves my brother owned. The word
calves ruined all. The little fellow look
cd up and said:
Sisters got dozen Of them, but she
don't wear 'em only when she goes up
town on windy days"
"I.eayc the room you unmanncrly little
wretch" exclaimed Emily, "lcavc imme-
diately."
II know what you want me TO leave
for," replied he; "you can't fool me-you
want to sit In that mans lap and kiss him
like you did Bill Simmons tho other day

mo some candy Ike he did and I'll 60.
You think because you've got the GrcciSn

Father HyaciRfhe.
(ro BE coSrISUEp.)

Perc Hyacinthc the distinguished Catbolic
Divine who has lately come to this country and
who Is now attracting much interest and whose
every movement Is criticised by all clasecs ofrc-
ligionists, Is the son OF small farmer, who
finding In his son strong preiilection for the
Church, from boy. procured for him. with
the assistance Of certain friends Of the family,

and afterwards at 81. Sulpicc. Few ever ap-
piled themselves moro diligently to prepare
for the tolemn duties before him, than
did Perc Hyacintbe, thwartcd end hindercd for

day for whole life, and be sure Of gaining one
soul. he should esteem 1t his greatest Joy" In
the summer Of 1861 he appeared in Paris,
preaching first at the church Of the Madeline,
and then In the famous cathedral Of Notre Dame
the doors Of which were opened 10 him BY the
liberal minded Archbishop Of Paris, Monseig..
neur Darboy. His doctrine and oratory excited
great attention, and drew crowds Of oil Glasses
in society.
Father Hyacinthe Is aid to Be man Of liberal
views, not that he Ia not strictly Catholic, but
he considers that true piety may exist In the
heart Of Protestans as well as Catholics. He
believes that Conscience Is higher tribunal
than Ecclesiastical Councils, hence, In . let
ter dated Sept. 20, addressed To bis Superior, he
says, 1: That he viii leave the pulpit Of Notre
Dame, because he cannot employ "a language
perverted by dictation or mutilated BY reti-
cence." 2. That he will leave "hh convent"
which has become ga prison Of the soul" 3.
That he protests against maxims and practices
called Roman but which are not Christian. 4.
That he also protests against "the sacrclegious
perversion Of the gospels tramplod under foot
by the pharisaism Of new law" 8. He ap-
peals to the council for remedy. @. Finally,
II the council does not decide In the sense OF
the writings Of Father Hyacinthe. he will ap-
peal from Il to another council representing
the Universal Church." ..
He Is at the present time qusrtercd
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York.
where he Is studiously mastering the English
language. Henry Ward Beecher and other
Protestants have had interviews with him; he
has also attended privately several Protestant
meetings, simply for the purpose. a he declares,
to acquaint himself with the different classes OF
this country. lie considers the coming Ecu
menical Council suggestive Of innovations det-
Jimental to the true Christian faith; and openly
declares there Is much In the Catholic Church
that Is not In accordance with pure Christianity.
What Is to re the result Of these movements 10
mains yet to be seen. Father Hyaeinthe Is q
power which Catholics fear, As Is evident from
the agitation now being manifested In Italy,
relative to him. He Is reported rs one Of the
most powerful orators Of the times.

had relieved her mind by confessing something
TO Mr.. Franklin.
This notion had struck me-when who should
appear at the end Of the shrubbery walk but
RosAnna Spearman in her own proper perron!
She was followed by Penelope. who was evident
ly trying TO make her retracc her steps 10 the
house. Seeing that Mr. Franklin was not alone
Rosanna came 10 stand-still, evidently in great
perplexity what 10 do next. Penelope waited
behind her. Mr. Franklin saw the girls As soon

CHAPTER XVIII.


Going down to the front-door met the ser
gcant on the steps.
II went against the grain with me. after what
had passed between us, TO show him that l felt
any sort Of interest in his procce ceiings. In
spite Of myself, however, felt an interest that
there was no resisting. My sense Of dignity
sank from under me, and out came the words ;
'What news from Prisinghallr
Il have seen the Indians answered Sergeant
CuG. And I have found out what Rossnna
bought privately in the town on Thursday last.
The Indians will be set free on Wednesday In
next week. There isn't doubt on my mind,
and there isn't doubt on Mr.. Murthwaitc's s
mind, that they came to this place to
steal the Moonstonc. Their calculations were
all thrown out, Of course, by what happened in
the house on Wednesday night; and they have
no more to do with the actual loss Of the jewel
than you have But can tell you one thing,
Mr.. Bettereige-if pe don't find tho Moonstone
they will You have not heard the last Of the
three jugslers yet
Mr. Franklin came back from his walk as the
sergeant said those startling words. Governing
his curiosity better than had governed mine,
he passed us without word, and went on into
the house.
As for me. having already dropped my digni-
ty, determined TO have the whole benefit Of the
sacrifice. 80 much for the Indians, said.
what about Rosanna, next'
Sergeant Cuff shook his head.
the mystery in that quarter Is thicker than
ever he said. Il have traced her TO shop ut
Frilinghall, kept by linen-draper namei Malt
by. She bought nothing whatever at any Of
the other diapers shops, or at any millners' or
tailors' shops and she bought nothing at Malt
by's but piece Of long cloth. She was very
particular In choosing certain quality. As to
quantity she bought enough to make night
gown
'whosc night-gowni Iasked.
Her own, 10 he sure. Between twelve and
three, on the Thursday morning, she must have
slipped down TO your young lady's room, to
settle the hiding Of the Moonstone while all the
rest Of you were in bed. In going back to her
own room her night-gown must have brushed
the wet paint on the door. She couldn't wash
out the stain; and she couldn't safely destroy
the nlght-gown-without first providing another
like II, to make the inventory Of her linen COM
plete.'
what proves that II was Rosanna's night
gownr objected. ......
The material she. bought for making the sub

had been Miss Verinder's nightgown. she
would have had to buy lace, and frilling, and

have had time to make II In one night Plain
