Spanish Custo1ns.

The agility of the Spaniards in leap
ing, climbing and walking has, with
travellers, been subject of constant adj
miration. Mr.. Jacobs, in his letter from
Spain, says: "We have frequently known
a man on foot to start from town with
us, who were we'll mounted, and con-
tinue his journey with such rapidity as
to reach the end of the stage before US,
and announce our arrival with officious
civilty. A servant also, whom we hired
at Malaga, has kept pace with us ever
since, and, though no more than seven
teen years of age he seems incapable OF
being fatigued by walking. I have heard
the agility of the Spanish peasants, and
their power of enduring fatigue, at
tributed to custom which, though it
may probably have nothing to do with
the case, deserves notice for its singu-
larity. A young peasant never sleeps
upon bed until he is married; before
that event he rests on the floor, in his
clothes, which he never takes off but for
the purpose of cleanliness; and during
the greater part of the year it is matter
of indifference whether he sleeps under
a roof or in the open air. L have re-
marked that, though the Spaniards rise
very early, they generally keep late
hours, and seem most lively and alert at
midnight; this may be attributed to the
neat OF the DAY, and TO the custom OF
sleeping after their meals at noon: which
is so general that the towns seem quite
deserted from one till four O'Clock. The
labors of the artifcer, and the attention
of the housekeeper are suspended during
these hours; and the doors and windows
OF the latter are closely shut, as at night
or upon holiday. Althoug gh the Span
ish peasantry treat with pohteness every
man they meet, they expect an equal re-
turn of civility, and to pass them with
out the usual expression, fVajai us ted
con Dios,' or salutipg- them without be-
slowing upon them the title of Cabaleros,
would be risking an insult, from the
people, who, though civil, and even
polite, are not little jealous of their
claims to reciprocal attention. .. -.a

boats, or, if carried to its full logical
sequence, would authorize any par
ticular craft to fix the number of its
members, and to starve all in excess of
that number.
That there is an immense field for
skilled labor here is shown by the rush
of, operatives from Europe to this
country. AS these arrive they unite
with those who prohibit any accession
except by immigration. Is it wise to
have any such classification of our peo-
pie? Is it expedient that the skilled
laborers shall all be foreign? Does not
society need for its protection some other
schools for the education OF American
mechanics than the penitentiaries or re-
fermaties? Does not the public good
require that these arbitrary regulations,
which fetter the right of any person to
learn any trade or profession, and to
have free and equal chance in the race
of life, shall be abrogated and broken
down, quite as much. as it requires the
passage of an jeight-hour-law. OF all
monopolies, and the country is cursed
with many, the monopoly of a right to
adopt and follow a trade is the most I'M
justifiable and intolerable.

New Boiler Law.

There seems probability that u con-
siderable reform in the management of
steam-boilers in passenger-boats and cars
will soon take place, the government be-
ing now engaged in printing law
passed and signed last February, which
entirely repeals the law as it now stands,
and substitutes new and much more
stringent requirements. One of the most
i'm portant of these provisions is, that to
every boiler shall be attached a record
ing gauge, placed in such conspicuous
position that the amount of steam in the
boiler may be read by every passenger at
pleasure. This recording gauge has an
Indicator, attached to delicate machinery
and worked by excess of steam, to the
point of which is fastened an indelible
pencil which writes automatically on a
moving roll of paper, and permanently
records the various degrees to which the
pressure of steam rises while the boilers
is in use. A government lock secures
the paper from being tampered with /;
and the inspector, by looking at the roll
of paper, can tell in minute whether,
and how often, the engineer has exceeded
the amount of steam allowed by the GER
tifcate. We have recently given our
readers a very complete description, with
engraving, of such a gauge. Another
section of the law provides that any citl-
zen can libel a vessel not complying in
every particular with the statute; the
penalty being five hundred dollars for
each offence, half of which goes to the
informer. 1t is said that the printing of
the law is nearly completed, and that it
will probably be promulgated and go
into effect within week.

Am Ec,c.eentric CI,aracter.

One of the. most eccentric, personages
of the eighteenth century, the Marquis
de Bacqueyille, is described in an article
in the Reuase de NormGndie.I On one oc-
casion he had ordered clock to be made
it was of difficult construction and doubt
full taste. 81 must have it by such a
day." said he to the clockmaker, selse ]
will not take it. The time was short, but
the Marquis was liberal paymaster, and
therefore the clockmaker took special
pains, hired additional hands, and fin
ished the clock on the appointed day; but
it being too late to deliver it, he deferred
doing so until the next morning. On the
morrow he presented himself with the
clock before the marquis, but the latter
refused to receive it. "If you had
brought 1t yesterdy, even at midnight, /
would have received it; but now it is too
late" The clockmaker, in despair, rep
sented the loss of time, labor and money
he had incurred in the work, and the
marquis, who sometimes showed a kind
heart in the midst of his crotchets, said :
s'Here, take your money, but carry away
the clock 1 have vowed not to accept it,.
One of his horses having made a false
step, the marquis caused him to be
hanged on gibbet, and made his other
horses walk past the suspended carcass
every day, all the while recommending
them to take warning by the example.
He had about fifty or sixty of the pretti-
est canaries, thrushes, bullfinches, and
other singing birds, and, have consulted
some dealers in birds as to the quantity
of seeds which a bird ought to consume
in year, he had large measure filled
with the exact quantity, and then had as
many similar measures put into the avi-
ary as there were birds. sFNow, my
pets" said he to them, "I have given
you enough to last you year; you must
manage accordingly, for you will have
no more food until the year is out" At
the end of three months, perhaps less, it
was all gone. The birds had done as men
do; having abundance to begin with,
they had squandered it. Part of it was
consumed, part was lost, and part had
become rotten. When he saw this he
said to them, 81 forewarned you of it, and
this is how you profited by my advice !
Now, live how you can, and die if you
will" And die they all dld. He had
not the humanity even to let them go
free, to shift for themselves, fancying
that they were being justly punished for
their extravaganza! y 7.s

The story of a sad Cat-astroph G
From the New York Sunday Mercury.


He was one of the Thomas kind, and
he had yowl like steam whistle. He
used to sit on old Mr.. BiXby's front door
step in the silvery moonlight, and the
whole neighborhood except the deaf
widow Brown always knew it. But Mr..
Bixby, you understand hadn't the
elephantine ear for that sort of music,
and he unfeeling allowed that the cat
must die. So Mr.. BiXby fixed up allur-
ing bread and butter, with nice arsenic
sauce, but this cat caught the cunning
idea and wouldn't bite bate which would
abate himself, so to speak. Then Mr..
Bixby swore; but the current of the

boot-jacks as jokes, upon four-pound
chunks of coal as bits of pleasantly, and
continued to sill bolt upright on his dig

INGENIOUS EvAsIoN.-The eyes of one
of the brethren at Calvary church were
recently closed. The trick was done by a
Dutchman. The brother had house to
rent. 1t was located opposite to down
town graveyard. The brother refused to
rent it to person having children. AS
the Dutchman had no less than thirteen
of these expensive blessings, he was
slightly nonplussed. Being himself a
member of the church, it was impossible
for him to lie, and so he did the next
best thing-he came Quaker over the
brother. When making application fol-
the house, he took with him his entire
tribe of olive branches. He turned
them into the graveyard to play. He
then opened up a negotiation for the oc-
cupancy of the premises.
"You know the terms?" said the Cal
vary.
s'Yah, know der terms.''
''And you are satisfied with them?"
Satisfied? YAH"
"You have no children? ?''

came as near to a chuckle as to a sob

The Dutchman sadly pointed across the
street.

and here's the key"
The other day the Calvary brother
called for his rent. He found one
youngster racing through the hallway
with the cat harnessed to a frying-pan
while another was drumming ssShoo-I1y'

Aaron Burr's Som.

Il =
IA Piqua, (O.) correspondent writes:
1t is known by but comparatively few
persons that son of Col. Aaron Burr,
the arch-conspirator, around whom
clings a romantic and tragical history,
is citizen of Miami county, yet such is
the astounding fact. E--f-..,
The old gentleman, who wears his
mothers name passing the decline of life
upon farm, won by the sweat OF his
brow, is one OF our most peaceful citizens.
He furnishes, yet very reluctantly, in
contestable proofs of his descent-con-
sisting ofletters from Burr to his mother
prior and subsequent to her sons birth.
His mother was Miss Catharine - at
that time (1S009 well-known Washing
ton belle, who fell beneath the blandish-
ments of the Vice-President. She was
noted for her beauty, refinement and
wit, and after her ruin, fled mysteriously
to Philadelphia. Her sudden disappear
ance from the capital created great deal
of talk; and after that event. she was
dead to all the world save her titled de-
stroyer and her son, our citizen -
Mr.. saw his father but twice
once after his acquittal before the Su-
preme Court of the United States at
Richmond, when he was tried for trea-
son; the second and last time in the
latter part of 1885, in New 7 Ork.
Upon the latter occasion our old citi-
zen was recognized by Burr. He was
then aged-bowed to the earth with the
great weight of four score years, and a
broken heart. Disease also racked his
frame.a Thirty years before his only
daughter had sailed from Charleston,
South Carolina. to meet him, ,Ebut the
vessel in which she embarked was never
heard from, and the blow nearly crushed
Burr's life. -a4.r ,--..
ssSir," said the old man, "although
the blood of Aaron Burr runs through
my veins I detest it. He conspired
against the best government on the face
of Gods 'footstool, and I am the ofspring g
of traitor. ~
"I tried to redeem my birth by fight
ing for my country in the Florida war
but the odium rankles in my heart, and
little does the Government suspect that
it pays a pension to the son of Aaron
Burr"
When asked him if might publish
his existence, he said: eyes. 1t would
do me no harm; but for heavens sake
point not out my place of retirement to
the gaping world. Stigmatize my father
as you please; but speak kindly, I pray,
of my gentle and erring mother, who is
in heaven waiting for her son.
EI am on the borders of three score
and ten," he continued with moistened
eyes. "I want to cross the river where
the stain of ancestry will never corrode

About Smoking.

A curious investigator has gathered q
great number of facts relative to smokers
Ben johnson loved the ssdurne weed, .
and describes its every accident with the
gusto of a connoisseur. Milton never
went to bed without a pipe and a glass
of water. Hobbies smoked, after his early
dinner, pipes innumerable. Sir Isaac
Newton was smoking in his garden at
Woolsthorpe when the apple fell. Addi-
son had pipe in his mouth at all hours
at sButton's." Fielding both smoked
and chewed. Shelley never smoked, mol
Wordsworth nor Keats. Coleridge, when
cured of opium, which he used twenty
years, took to snuff. Campbell loved q
pipe. Sir Walter Scott smoked in his
carriage, and regularly after dinner
loving both pipe and cigars. Byron
wrote about Sublime tobacco" but was
not an excessive smoker. Goethe did
not smoke, nor did Shakespeare. Carlyle
now passed 20, was sturdy smoker for
years. Alfred Tennyson is a persistent
smoker of some forty years. Dickens,
Jerrold, and Thackeray all puffed. Lord
Lytton loves long pipe at night and
cigars by day. Lord Houghton smoked
moderately. The late J. NJ. Kemble,
author of "The Seasons in England,'i p
was tremendous smoker. Moore cared
not for it,; indeed, Irish gentlemen
smoke much less than English. We'll
lington summed it; so did Peel. Dis
raeli loved the long pipe in his youth,
but in his middle age pronounced it tsthe
tomb of love- The same writer gives
the following advice to smokers.
l. Never smoke when the pores are
open. They absorb, and you are unfit
for decent society. Be it your study
ever to escape the noses of strangers.

Charity.

We are told in classic history that an
old painter was employed to sketch the
Macedonian Emperor. The emperor re-
ceived severe wound upon the right
temple, in one of his famous battles, and
a large scar was left. The artist pro-
ceeded to the work assigned him, and
sketched the monarch leaning upon his
elbow, with his foreffnger covering the
scar. His ingenuity was infamous
than ever. So it is with genuine charity,
which "covereth multitude of sins''
Instead of exposing the faults of others,
and holding them up to scorn and ridi-
Guile, it covers them with the finger of
love, except when truth and justice re-
quire them to be openly rebuked. The
way of the world is to expose the scars
of character, and set them off in more
than their real ugliness. They are the
subjects of gossip and keen satire in the
social circle; the sparks of fire that are
struck around often kipdle into a flame.
How much more beautiful is that spirit
which treats the failures of others with
forbearance, while it does not excuse in
iquity in the nearest friends! That is the
secret foundation of all that is good and
true. This is the charity which Etsuffer-
eth long and is kind,' and ''doth not be-
have itself unseemly," and thinketh no
evil.
