The Marysville Appeal vindlctively
appeals to its subscribers to vote for
Bolander. 1t generously tells them
that "Parson Fitzgerald banished
from our public schools the national
songs. Hail Columbia and The Star
Spangled Banner, but never raised the
slightest objection to Dixie and The
Bonnie Blue Flag" The Appeal is in
favor of compulsory education. 1t
evidently understands the condition
of its readers.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is probably defeated
for Superintendent-defeated by the
bright and shining intellects who
clamor for enforced education and
gullibly swallow such paragraphs as
that quoted above. On the whole we
are not certain but that a little com
puIsory education might do the Amer
lean people some good. There is no
people Ga the face of the earth who
think they know sc much, and actu-
ally know so little as this same uni
versal nation, in which the great
Republican party claims to have a
majority, and maintains it by finding
people intelligent enough to believe
such stories as those charged on Mr..
Fitzgerald.

The Bear Crop in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin papers TEEN with ac-
counts of the doings of and contests
with bears, which are unusually numer-
Gus in that region. The Neillsville Re
publican says they are so plenty in the
woods that hunters are killing them
every day, and that young man living
about mile east of the town recently
caught three in q trap in less than a
week. In the town of Loyal, two boys,
while hunting for cows, came across an
old she bear and two or three cubs.
Bruin showed fight, and the boys were
obliged to climb tree for safety. The
cries of the children brought assistance,
and the bears scampered off. The Eau
Claire Free Press says Jake Stumm had
quite a fight with bear, and finally
managed to kill him. Bruin weighed
$50 pounds. The Hudson Star states
that a Norwegian, name not learned,
was killed few days ago by bear out
in the big woods. He had shot the bear
and then got into struggle with him,
and was torn to pieces. The Kii6ourn
City Mirror reports that Mr.. Burke, of
Plainville, a renowned bear-shooter,
killed bear on the premises OF Mr..
james McClatchie, about mile and
half east of that place. 1t was three
years old and weighed 800 pounds. Sew
eral other bears have been seen in that
vicinity within few days. Hardly
day passes without one or more bears
being shot.

A Startling Railroad Adventure.

Parties who arrived at Terre Haute
last week on the Evansville and Craw-
fordsville Railroad, had quite an adven-
turous ride. When the train was mid
way between Decker's and Purcell's
Stations it was met by the most tremen-
dous hail storm. Such was its force that
the engineer was obliged to stop the
train. Hail stones three inches in di-
ameter ratified down upon the coaches,
knocked the window lights from the
cab, and demolished the headlight of
the engine. The engineer and fireman
were obliged to seek refuge by hugging
close to the machinery. The storm,
though severe, was of brief duration,
and when it had stopped, the train
moved on. When nearing Sullivan, the
engineer discovered brilliant light
ahead, which was caused by the burning
of thirty cords of wood, which was lying
close to the track. The train backed
down to station three miles away, and
then returned to the scene of the confla-
grafton with gang of section men who
at once set to work to extinguish the
flames. The engineer then backed his
train away from the scene some distance,
and after the doors and blinds of the
windows had been carefully closed, he
let on full head of steam and went past
the fire at a speed of fifty miles an hour,
the heat being so intense as to scorch the
sides of the coaches as they passed, even
at that high rate of speed. .-.

Strange Case of Imprisonment.

The story of a young man of good
family being incarcerated for long
time in a lunatic asylum by his relatives
in order to prevent his contracting a
marriage in opposition to their wishes,
as described in Charles Reade's novel of
"Hard Cash." seems very improbable to
American readers; yet cases quite as ex-
traordinary are frequently reported in
the British newspapers. and, if all the
secrets of our own lunatic asylums could
be brought to light, it is possible that
some equally startling revelations would
be made. A late London paper gives
the details of case which one would
scarcely suppose could occur in the nine
teenth century and in a civilized coun-
try. An Irish gentleman, named Mr..
Alfred Manders, who is possessed of a
property of $4,000 year, and who is a
partner of the well-known firm of Man
ders & Co., brewers, at the Instance of
his brother and his own wife, was
placed in a private lunatie asylum at
Finglass in April, 1869, and still re-
mained in confinement there on the 18th
of August last, although there is every
reason to believe that he is quite sane.
During the whole period of his incarcer-
alton, extending through twenty-seven
months, he was not visited either by his
brother or his wife. After long time
he contrived to communicate with his
solicitor, Mr.. Lewis, who went to the
asylum and demanded an interview with
him, but was refused by DR.. Duncan,
the proprietor. A clerk of Mr.. Lewis
having succeeded in obtaining an inter
view with Mr.. Manders, the latter was
thereafter debarred from taking exercise
in the pleasure grounds. Finally, on
the 18th of August, writ of ha6eas cor
pus was taken out directing DIR. Duncan
to produce his prisoner so that the
necessary steps might be taken for de-
termining his mental condition and
testing the legality of his confinement.
At the time of the application for the
writ letters from Mr. Manders that were
sensibly and intelligently written were
read, and also the affidavits of two keep
ers who had attended the unfortunate
man for several months, and both of
whom testified that he was perfectly
sane.

PROsODY.


The following rhymed rebuke Of common errors
ofpronunciation will be found useful to many peoples
There was girl, and she was fair to see,
whose classic nomen was Eurydice;
AS full of mischief, like to most young ladies',
Sometimes raising Cain, and sometimes Hades.
This smiling beauty, though she gained eclat,
10 use hyperbole, concealed claw.
A fiirt she was-and thought no sin to be-
Though driving lovers into syncope
She fiattered some, though always "sne die"
Until they all were crowned with misery
She danced and waltzed, until quite sick was
she,
(Her Goddess was Terpsichore);
But soon got well, and ate her hominy,
With all the tragic airs of great Melpomene.
Her mind, sometimes on Jupiter and 10,
Would dwell-mixed up with Virgo and with
Leo;
Her f,vorite book was Don Quixote,
Although prone to think him rough and
naughty,
Still from her lips, to hear diatribe,
Was worth the world, and all the rest beside
A maid she had; fat fair, and fancy free,
Rejoicing in the name Euphrosyne;
This demoiselle thought herself Phryne,
Though her mistress called her "stupiS
ninny."
Her favorite author was Dumas Fills
Zach well-thumbed work was spotted DER
with grease),
And then she owned a small epitome,
OF Ancient Rome, which was sight to see.
She knew but little of Professor Blot.
Her cooking was indifferently slow.
But her chief care was on the household Lares
Round which she hustled like hundred
fairies.
In short, take her in all, twas plain to see
She favored Juno more than Niobe
Eurydicc, at length, was, strange to say,
Enchanted with man, and brought to bay;
Henceforth her constant study was to be,
How best to initiate Callope.
While her fair maid, we scarce need indicate,
Brought her Penates to the Syndicate
And helped their Epithalamium to sing,
Though not the least connected with "the
Ring"
Eurydice, farewell! and you too, fair Eu-
phrosyne!
Forgive us that we use your names, to air our
prosody.
HENRY G. COOPER.

Moving In Circles.

1t is astonishing how some people
move IN circle, and run round and
round in the well-worn ruts, without at
tempting to widen the one or step out
of the other. They do things in GER
tain way because some friend or neigh
Dor does so, without question as to the
propriety or fitness OF their doing the
same thing in the same way, whether
the circumstances admit of it or not.
We were forcibly impressed with this,
not long since, while stopping few
hours in hourishing town in one of the
finest counties in central Ohio.
On fine broad street, there was no
less than five or six residences, mostly on
contiguous lots, built as nearly alike as
possible, with the front door in each, in
some unaccountable way, set obliquely
into q corner at the end of q balcony
running along the side of the main
building, making q row OF singularly
awkward looking dwellings, and sadly
marring the beauty of the street archi-
lecture. .
Another case in point is that of man
now building two story and basement
house on twenty foot lot. His heart is
set on "swell 'front.'" not because he
admires the style, or that it is at all
adapted to 80 narrow house, but be-
cause his friends have built on that
plan, and he does not wish to be slngu-
lar. 1t is in vain the architect has as
sured him that a swell front-which we
never see on house too narrow for it
without calling to mind a character in
"Little Dorrit" who, as Dickens tells us,
"was not so much man as a sort of
swelled boy"-will give to house of
that width cramped look, and make it
seem even narrower than it is, that a
front of this style for building not
wide enough to accommodate it, savors of
affectation, and is in bad taste. 1t is all
in vain; the foundation is laid and the
work goes on. The precedent has been
established by one of his neighbors, and
will be followed in more than this single
instance by others who cannot be pre-
vailed on to give up the cherished am
bition of an "imposing swell 'front.'

Colonel Forney relates this anecdote !:
There is a well-known physician in
Washington, DR.. G. Hall, who relates
many incidents of the public men he has
attended in his long and brilliant exper-
ieuce. At the head of his profession, he
has attained old age almost without an
enemy. know no man more univer-
sally beloved. 1t is one of the Doctors
peculiarities that he does not trouble
himself with money matters, and is care
less about collecting his fees. Once,
however, during temporary absence,
his clerk made out some bills, and,
among others, sent one to the President.
On his return, the Doctor found d note
from General jackson inclosing a check
for the amount, deducting an old charge
which had been called for and settled,
and for which he held receipt.
The fact that the bill had been sent
was not less modification to DR.. Hall
than the error in the account itself.
But on looking at the Presidents check,
he found that the General had forgotten
to sign it He therefore returned it.,
with the expression of his regret that
the bill had been sent, and pointed out
the Generals omission. The check was
duly signed and sent back inclosed in a
note, with this remark:
Dear DoctorThe best of men is liable to mistakes.
ANDREW JACKSON.
DR.. Hall testifes to the old hero's
kindness to all his people, especially to
his servants. Once when the smallpox
broke out among them, and nearly
everybody else fled, the President re-
mained in the White House, and waited
on black and white with unremitting
attention.

The Wood Saving Club.

The Lockport Journal contains the
following practical suggestion;
Now that the croquet and base ball
season will ere long be over, we would
suggest, in order that the muscle devel-
oping process may not stop, or that the
amount developed by the summers exer-
else may not lie dormant during the long
winter months, that the base ball ath-
letics turn their attention to saving up
the wood piles of widows and sick folks
during the winter. The exercise is fully
as healthful, is not so violent, dangerous
nor tiresome as base ball, and we are
sure the results will crafty a curious
public fully as much, and we would pre-
fer to give the "score" of wood saving
class to that of base ball club, in our
columns. What say you, gents? Ply
sicians recommend young ladies to form
walking clubs. This is matter in
which steps should be taken.

How Wild Beasts Eat Men in India,

The return of the number of persons
killed by wild beasts during the past
year in the Madras Presidency has lately
been made up; 1873 persons were killed
by tigers, twenty-one by cheetahs and
panthers, seven by bears, ten by bisons,
five by wild hogs, four by elephants.
and three by alligators. Tigers are most
destructive in Canaan, Vizagapatam,
Jeypore, Kurnoof, and Coimbatore.
Seven persons were killed by tigers in
Canara in 1869, eleven in 1868, and
eleven were killed by cheetshs. All
this slaughter by wild beasts sounds
very horrible (says the Pail Mall Ga
sstte). but it is really far more horrible
to reflect that more people are killed an
nually in the streets of London by
horses than are killed by tigers in the
Presidency of Madras. Cab horses are
far more destructive than Cheetahs.
