WESTERN SCH00LHOUSES.

1t seems pity so many OF the fine
school houses in tie west, where
land is plenty and cheap, should be
built to the towering hight OF five or
six stories, compelling young girls to
do a great deal of unwholesome run
ming up and down stairs, injurious to
their physical constitutions, and often
times resulting in the chronic disor-
ders peculiar to the sex. We have
seen many of these institutions which
look like q Webster's Dictionary
standing on end. Why not, instead,
build them after the model of the
dictionary lying flat? ? The building
committee should broadentheir found
ations and decapitate their towers.
Two flights of STAIRS, first and Sec
ond story, is all that should ever be
seen in a school house-particularly
school house freqaented By girls.
But there seems to have been an am.
bition in the West to make the school
house a sort OF town monument
visible for q dozen miles across prai-
ries of Illinois or Minnesota. The
western school houses are in most re-
stects far superior to any others IN
the country. Their defect is their
undue height. This objection is seri-
Gus. We know, frem personal in
speciion, that the fault of which we
speak is beginning to show itself in
the weariness of scholars and teach
ers-not the males but the females.
Other new houses are to be erected
in various parts of the western states
Our suggestion, we think, is worthy
of grave consideration.

THE OLDEST MAN.

Several of Webster's cases reached
nearly the age of 200, and many of
them survived their 130th year as to
give some color of probability to
what is said concerning 'old Pinau,'
who died few weeks ago in Kansas
city. Neither he nor his neighbors
pretended to know exactly how old
he was, though nobody doubted that
he was the oldest inhabitant. People
sixty years old and more remembered
him as a gray-headed old man when
they we're children, and none of those
who knew him seem to doubt that he
was at least 134 years old. His proper
name was Jacob Journals, and he
was a French Canadian by birth. A
French paper of Montreal, the Opin-
ion Pubique, gives an interesting
sceSSuSSt eSSuSts-G 8. him. The writer says
that when he first becs@e acquainted
with Journals, sixteen years ago, the
old man enjoyed perfect health, and
the full use of his intellectual facul-
ties. His memory was especially
vigorous. He told u.s. says the
Opinion, shat he was working on q
piece of land which he had bought
near Quebec, when Wolf met with
his death on the plains of Abraham.
This took place on the 14th of Sep
tember, 1859, and from what he told
US of his lite before that date, we
were convinced that at that time he
was more than twenty-five years old.
Thinking that he might be confound-
ing Wolf with Montgomery-1775-
we questioned him at length, but we
saw clearly that he made no mistake;
in fact, he recollected everything,
names, places, incidents impossible to
relate with more order and clearness.'
Having become hunter and trapper
in the West, he was engaged in the
famous expedition of Lewis and
Clarke to the mouth of the Columbia
river in 1S04-7. Afterwards settled
in New Orleans during the occupa-
ton of the city by General Jackson,
they refused to enroll Journals sbe-
cause he was too DID, He was, in
fact, about eighty. In his last days
he was well taken care of by the
family in which he was domiciled,
and a few minutes before his death he
was able to walk about his rooE.
Such cases are curious and worthy of
wide publication, that they may be
authenticated or retuted also that
attention may be directed to the sub
ject which they illustrate.

load them, clear the mouths OF rivers,
and produce pure and wholesome
freshness. These undulat;ons of the
ocean, these powerful prlsations oil

by en- invisible power, raise and sp

culating the very hour, nay, the ex-
act minute, in which the oscillations
of the sea begin and end in every
part of our globe. Nevertheless, as
yet unknown combinations will, ct
times, produce terrible disasters that
cannot be avoided by any foresight
or precauticn. Thus, occasionally, a
powerful wind happens to blow III
the same direction with the tide, and
gives it incredible force and fury.
No lofty embankment reared by the
hand of man, no rocky rampant raised
by Nature herself, can then Withstand
its power; and towns are swept
away in an instant, and thousands of
persons lose their lives. In some
parts of the globe the tide produces
effects from the peculiar
formation OF the coast which it
strikes. The most striking instance
is that of the island Of Mauritius,.

caves and grottoes Of marvellous
beauty and grotesqueness. The
waters have forced for themselves an
outlet through the roof of one of
these caves, and when the tidal wave
reaches the coast it fills the cave and

flies through the opening to height
of sixty feet, accompanied by thun-
derlng roar which is heard for miles
out at sea.-LondOn Erominer.

DYING WORDS.

I Lord Macaulay tells an anecdote Of
Michael Godfrey, the deputy govern
or of the Bank of England, who was
standing near King William and un-
der fire at the seige of Namur. "Mr.
Godfrey said William, ''you ought
not to run these hazards; you are
not a soldier; you can be of no use
to US here.n "Sir,' answered God
frey. 81 run no more hazard than your
maiesty." "Not so," said William /;

cannon ball from the ramparts laid
Godfrey dead at the Kings feet. The
dying words of Wolfe are well known,
and well authenticated. On hearing
an officer exclaim-"See how they

his elbow, and asked, "Who run r'
"The enemy" answered the officer;
"they gave way in all directions"
'@Then God be praised" said Wolfe
after 3 short pause; 81 shall die hap

Montcalm, received mortal wound
whilst endeavoring to rally his men,
and expired the next day, When
told that his end was approaching, he
answered $50 much the better; I

A FRENCH TWEED.

A parallel, on q email scale, to our
Court House frauds is now attract
ing public attention in France. Mon
sieur Janvier de la Motto, formerly
Prefect of the Department of the
Eure under Napoleon I'LL, is on trial
before a criminal court for practices
identical in principle with those by
which William M. Tweed and his ac-
completes obtained their famous S6,-
600. 900 from the city treasury. His
Prefecture lasted from 1856 to 1868.
During this period it it was observed
that he lived extensively, INDUCED
freely in vice and dissipation, ana
was always heavily in debt. Sus-
picion having been aroused, he was
at length suspended from duty, and
his accounts placed under iuvestiga-
tion. Among other things it was
found that on the occasion of grand
banquet given by the department, he
had obtained from Partisan florist
flowers for the decoration of the hall
to the amount of 2,490 francs. but
took bill for them as having cost
5000 francs. He also included in the
expenses Of this banquet the cost of
another given three months afterward,
on which he pocketed 3,100 francs,
At another time, when buying flow
ers for departmental fair, he made
the seller add TO the bill the price of
some plants which he presented to
his mistress. Hsving occasion to
pay a creditor $4,000 francs, he did
so by giving him draft for the
amount On the Department Treasury,
hased on false bill for building ex
penses, certified 10 be correct by an
architect who wss his aecomplice.
An insane asylum was projected for
the Department, to cost 1,OOO,0OO
francs, but he mansged to make it
cost 3 500, 600 francs, q large part of
the excess goings into his pocket. Two
bills of furniture were augmented by
the sum of "a, 900 francs worth bed
room furniture was by his orders
charged to and paid for by the de-
partment. Worse than all, he is
charged with having appropriated to
his own use nearly the whole of 2Sl,-
$50 frsncs which were placed IN his
hand during our war for the relief of
the cotton-spinners in his d. partment
thrown out of work. In general it is
alleged against him that he has falsi-
fed documents, corrupt his subordi-
mates, and plundered the public
property.
