The Philadelphia Inquirer cditorally makes
fun of 4 pletentious English Encyclopedia for Its
ignorance ct American matters, and specially in
regard to Philadelphia, which it speaks of as "a
:" city of the American Union. CAPITAL OF THE
Estate OF SAME NAME" and then proceeds to
give some rather remarkable information about
it, on par, as regards accuracy, with the state
ment quoted above. The Inquirer gets tue better
OF the encyclopedia without doubt.
In It's New York letter in'thc same issue is an
account of the arrest Of Jerry Storms, horse
thief, in this city. The writer says;-
+" He was taken by officer Van Sickcl, Of Will
mngton, and in his arrest fired twice at the oill-
Ger, who in turn fired at him five times, the balls
grazing his face twice. Before he was taken, and
in his flight, he attempted to ford the Delaware,
and got stuck In the miro. desperate encoun-
| ter ensucd between him and four Others, he in
the meantime swapping pistol In ono OF the
mems faces"
| The account Of the desperate encounter Is
rather more vivid we think than the facts will
warrant, while "van sickel'' is good way of
from Wingate, the name of the officer making the
arrest, but any one is liable to such mistakes. Or
what hypothesis, however, but that Of dense igno
rance can we account for the statement that "ht
Tthe prisoner attempted to ford tho Delaware
Even at Philadelphia, where it is rather smal
stream compared with its size here, the Delaware
three-quartcrs of mile wide, does not look lik'
a pleasant stream to ford, but 10 talk of fordng /
at Wilmington, where it is between three ant
four miles in width with depth almost beyon,
measurement, is, we submit, quite as funny as Il
say that Philadelphia is the "capital of the Stat
of the same name" or that I" it has circumfer
ence of about eight miles" instead of eighty.

Eagle Hotel, dicd from hydrophobia on Monday

about nine weeks ago. the dog disappearing
thereafter, so that it was not known whether he
was mad or not. 1t was known, however, that
he was enc of the flock of fox hounds attacked
by mad dog near the Chester county line about
three months since, and most OF which were
bitten. The child showed no symptoms Of hy-
drophobia until Saturday afternoon last, when
she had spasm, refusing to drink or look nj
water. DR.. Pauling, his son, DR.. Emory Of
Ph9nixville, and two other physicians were
called, and the case was at once recognized as
one of unmistakable hydrophobia. DR.. Emory is
noted In the treatment of such cases, and his
remedy was applied but the child vomited up
| the dose, and then strictly resisted taking any
more. At first the spasms were divided by inter-
| walls Of halt an hour, gradually becoming more
| frequent and severe until Monday morning at 2
O'Clock, when her butferings were ended by DEATH
During the spasEls she would froth terribly ut the
mouth snap and bite, and upon hearing Of water
would enter upon worse form of convulslon.
| When the fit was off she would beg that her fam
| lily connections be kept from her, lest she might
/ bite them Her sad death has caused much
mourning and excitement in the neighborhood.
| On Monday morning all the dogs known 10 have
| been connected with the fox hunt mentioned,
were killed. 1t was before doubted whether the
| dog which attacked them was really mad.

You're starting to- day on life journey,
Alone on the highway Of lifei
You'll meet with a thousand temptations
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage Of excitement
There's danger wherever you GO
But if You are tempted in weakness,
Have courage, my boy. 70 say No.
The syren' sweet song may allure you,
Beware Of her cunning and art;
Whenever you see her approaching,
Be guarded and haste to depart
The billiard saloons are inviting,
Decked out in their tinsel and show;
You may be invited to enter
Have courage, my boy, to say No.
The bright ruby wine may be offered
No matter how tempting it be,
From poison that stings like an adder,
ny boy, have the courage to Zee.
The gambling hells are before you,
Their Fights, how they dance to and fro
If you should be tempted to enter,
Think twice, even thrice, ere you 20.
10 eonr gs alone lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin,
And trust that Heavenly father,
VIII keep you unspotted from sir.
Temptations viii 90 on increasing,
As streams from a riyulet flow,
But if you are true to your manhood,
Have the courage, my boy, to say No.

How few Of the young men nowadays,
who are seeking wisess care to inquire
whether the women they propose to marry
ever aGorn their fingers with thimbles, goto
market, or are Of that rare class amongst
the women Of this age and generation,
good housewipes?" Anpa Dickinson bit
the nail ou the head in her last lecture-"A
Struggle for Life when she asserted that
nine tenths Of the heIplcssness, distress and
shame Of women could be properly traced to
unaise tendencies Of parents, who labored
to teach their daughters everything but that
which. iu an emergency or in married life,
could be made practically useful to them.
Young men are as frequently to blame as
foolish fathers and mothers They look for
brilliant, not useful women; forgetting the
fact that what are termed brilliant accom-
plishments' are those which are soonest
foTgotteR by their rossessors, and which in
domestic life, generally carry With them the
fewest aud shalIowest Of real enjoyments.
l The performance Of difficult passage on
the piano, or the faultless execution Of
graceful movement in the dance, are we'll
enough in their way, but they are wretched
compensations for sour or heavy bread,
badly-cooked steaks, sloppy coffee, slogenly
dresses and untidy climbers Ii does not
of course necessarily follow that a brilliant
woman Is a poor housewife. Far from it.
We have known those who excelled alike
upon the piano aud gridiron; who Piled the
broom as graceenllg as they twirled the tiny
sunsbaie; who were as neat and cleanly in
their hours of domestic leisure and employ
meut as when entertaining company in the
parlor or promenading Chestnut street but
these were the exceptions, not the rule.
Such women are rare birds-met with once
in awhile, and once In awhile only. Moth
ers and fathers, we want more Of them
more good housewives. Have your daugh-
tiers taught music, and drawing, aud French,
and dancing, but for theirs, your own, and
the sake Of the men they may marry, do not
forget to acquaint them with the fact that
there is connected with their homes such
department as the kitchen, and that the
crowning accomplishments of all is to be
perfectly familiar, not merely with tue local
ity Of this important adjunct to every house
held, but with the theory and practice Of
its operations. Send Them to market, and
teach them to be able to discriminate be-
tween a beef steak and veal outlet, and TO
know the difference between a turnip and
head Of cabbage teach them the coveted
art and mistery of good bread baking, pa
latable coffee making, and the thousand and
one other little items of culinary knowledge
and practice that go 10 make up the good
housewife And young men, you who are
on the hunt for partners in life, be advised
and in making your selection, have sharp
eye to those domestic qualifications to which
the Old Fceuehman's ward gave such de-
cided praference.--Philadelphia EveRing

PERMISSION ERoM THE OFFICE

The Minneapolis lMinnesota) Tribune
tells the following good one An amusing
incident, too good to be lost, occurred at the
NicoIlet, day or two since. A verdant
couple from the vicinity Of Winoua, who
had never Travelled outside of the limits of
their little native town, fell in love, we're
married, and on their bridal tour visited
Minneapolis. Arriving on the evening
train, the turtle doves took rooms at the
Nicollet Before making his toilet the next
morning, the young husbands eye rested
upon the rules and regulations tackled
upon the door, and for the purpose of post
ing himsels in the requirements Of hotel
Efe, he proceeded to read them Judge Of
bis surprise, when after careful study, he
learned that Washing in rooms is prohibit
ed, except permission is obtained at the Of
flee I"
The young man looked about him. Upon
the opposite side of the room were wash
bowl, pitcher towles, and all the necessaries
for performing the usual morning ablutions,
but before his face and eyes was the rule
prohibiting washing in rooOm !" What
was to be done Bride and groom were at
a loss to know.
They certainly could not think of going
to breakfast without washing, and it was
rather inconvenient to 60 to the river for
that purpose
As he reflected upon the awkwardness Of
the situation, the young man became i'm
pressed with the idea that something must
be done. aud remembering the solemn
promise made to the Justice Of the Peace
who, for the trifing sum of seYenty-fve
cents, united them in the holy bonds of
matrimony the day previous, he determined
to rise up in his strength and represent the
case in proper terms "at the Office. He
did so. Approaching the desk, be beckoned
to the clerk ''Look a here'' said be ''that
ere kaird that's stuck on the door says that
nobody cant wash into the room less you
let EN-. Now, couldn't you let me and
Jane Ann wash cur faces and hands there
this mornin'? There's wash things and
towels right in the room, and | wish you

gave his consent, and the unsophisticated
couple were made happy.

tons upon Miss Frank ID. Chapman. 1t
was understood that the parties would
marry, but they did not. A wedding day
was fixed in the summer Of 1851, but the
groom did not appear. For ten years or
SO there was a sort OF suspension OF IN
tercourse, when in some manner the
acquaintance was renewed, and negOtl~
atoms were effected for a settle nent OF
injured honor. Gardner gave SD to a
third party for Miss Chapman, and she
returned his letters. lie was not content
TO stop there, but renewed the cores
pondence, and gave her fresh cause fol
action. In u short time he married
another lady, and Miss Chapman brought
a suit for damages. claiming $4,000 II
was thought best to take the case out o

it TO arbitration. The arbitrator made
an award of $1,000 to the plaintiff; Their
