A COMPREHENSIVE WoRp.-One day
last autumn old Smilax kept his boy out
from school to assist lit digging potatoes.
The rust had struck the tubers, and Smilax
feared that decay might set in if they were
not speedily dug. When the boy next
attended school his father sent by him a
note explaining why he had been taken
from his studies; and in this explanation
due statement of the potato disease was
given. Mr.. Syntsx, the teacher, was a
crusty, irate man, and upon beholding a
full page OF cramped caligraphy, where a
very brief excuse might have suficed, he
was wroth; and he said to the boy ::
"Tell your father not to write such mess
as this again. If he has occasion to keep
you away from school hereafter, a Single
W, I'd of explanation as to the cause of
your absence will be sufficient" A few
days afterwards old Smilax went at his
second field Of potatoes, and claimed the
assistance of his son, as before. When the
lad next appeared at school he bore to Mr.
Synta1 a note from his father containing
this single comprehensive word, and moth
ing more: "Keptatomatatering."

DoGs.-The sense of duty seems to be
very strong in dogs, and the perseverance
with which a dog will perform a self,
imposed task, day after day, fancying that
it is his MISSIONS sometimes very amusing.
There is a dog in New York that every day
follows a Broadway omnibus pl., ing be-
tween some uptown street and the Bat
terry. His business is to keep as near the
omnibus as possible, and this he does with
wonderful zeal and often at the risk OF his
life. Sometimes, when the street is very
much encumbered with vehicles. he takes
to the sidewalk along which he canterS on
three legS,-an affectation common to his
kind stopping when the driver stops to
take up passengers, and seeming to take as
much interest in the business as though he
were a stockholder of the line. This ami
NAL has frequently been run over, as is
evident from his scars, as well as from his
being sometimes coated all over with mud;
but he continues to follow zealously the
particular 'bus of his affections, the dog
star of the destimes OF which he apparently
considers himself to be.

How A PRESIDENT IS ELECTED.-Each
of the United States is entitled to as many
electors of President and President
as it has Senators and Representatives in
Congress. In each State the electors are
chosen by a plurality vote. That is, if
there are three sets Of electors voted for,
the set having the highest number Of
votes is chosen. But candidate for Pres
dent, in order to be successful, must have
a majority of all the electors. The cleo
toral college, as now constituted, consists
Of 3l7. Therefore 159 are necessary fer a
choice. If there be three candidates for
President and neither Of them receives a
majority of the electoral college, then
there is no choice, and the election goes to
the House of Representatives. The House
must confne their choice to the three
highest candidates voted for by the cleo
tors. The Representatives vote by States,
and each State has but one vote; so that
the power of Delaware is as great as that
of New York. Each State has one vote
The majority Of the State delegation casts
its vote. A candidate, to be successful,
must receive majority Of all the States,
or nineteen States If the delegation is
divided, the vote oil the state cannot be
cast, ana is therefore lost. As the present
House is constituted, and it is upon this
House the election will devolve in the event
there is no election by the people, nomin-
ally the Republicans hold twenty States !;
but its majority in ten Of these it holds by
one single vote Should there be third
candidate there would be no choice found
in two of these ten States.

LAsso1Ne A WILD BULL.-We break

spondent, writing from California, and
then went out on the great common to
see two vacqueros lasso wild bull. They
very nearly separated the animal from the
herd, drove it at full tilt towards US, and,
when it threatened to run US down, whizz
went the riata, and. though l looked with
all my eyes, saw nothing except that
the animal stopped in mid career, and
tumbled over as though it were shot.
Thereupon the vacquero coolly got of
his horse, first winding the end of the
riata about the pommei Of his saddle, and
thereupon | saw the most curious part of
the whole business. The horse, mere
pony, stood with its fore legs planted
firmly, and very knowing look in his
eyes. Presently the bull began to to
struggle; he managed, by a sudden mo-
tion, to rase himself halt erect; but the
horse quickly took a step backward, tight
ened the rope, and down went the bull.
helpless. This was repeated several times,
till did not know which most to admire,

Only q Passing Thought.

Twas only passing thought, my friend,
Only passing thought.
That came o'er my mind ikea ray Of the sun
In the ripple Of waters caught;
And it seemed to me, as say to thee,
That sorrow, and shame, and sin,
Might disappear from our happy sphere,
If we knew but to begin
If we knew but how to profit
BY wisdom dearly bought
Twas only passing thought, my friend,
Only passing thought.
Why should the nation fight, my friend,
Why should not warfare cease?
And al the world would repose
In innocence and peace.
IL seems to me, as say to thee,
The weak may yet be strong;
There needs but the love Of breath and faith
To right the weary wrong
To right the weary wrong, my friend,
Throughout the world mistaught;
Twas only passing thought, my friend,
Only passing thought.
But though only passing thought, my friend,
You know as well as
That thoughts have fashion to grow to deeds
Under the ripening sky.
So pass it on let it walk or run,
Or fly on the wings Of the wind,
Or, better still, on the wings Of the Press,
For the service OF mankind;
For the service Of mankind, my friend,
That needs but to be taught:
Twas only passing thought, my friend,
Only passing thought.

EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE.-An in.
genious but er-conceited man undertook
to mend tin ea-kettle. He had seen
timers do the thing, and knew he could
do it too. In prodding around the bottom
of the kettle for weak places, he found one
where he least expected it, and ran the
brad-awl through his finger. Whereupon
he howled with anguish and dropped the
kettle on the head Of his infant son. lying
prone on the floor at his feet chewing a
rubber rattle The infants head was badly
cut, and, in the excitement which followed,
another young Purcell managed to tip over
the slider and catch about spoonful of
it in his little shoe, and added his lusty
yells to the family chorus. The unhappy
Purcell tied up his finger, put sticking
plaster on the baby's head, plastered oint-
ment on the boys foot, and left the tea.
kettle at the tin-,hop on his way to the
doctors.

NOVEL SCENE IN A CoURT-RooM.-Tbe
Providence Journal says: An unusual
scene took place during the trial of the
case Of Burgess VS.. Anderson. The case is
brought to recover moneys won at various
times from the plaintiff at faro by fraadu-
lent practices. The plaintiff used, as an
illustration of the technicalities of the
game, complete faro table, with It's
marking apparatus and silver cue -kee. er's
box. An expert, Mr. Daniel Ii. Helme,
took his seat at the table and played the
game, the counsel and other spectators
won their bets, although luck was largely
in favor of the bank. He then took a set
of ''strippers," that is, a pack in which
certain of the cards were trimmed at the
des to an edge, unobservaSle to the eye
but easily perceived by thelsouch of the
dealer. By this device the dealer knew
the position of any card, and by dealing
two at time WREN necessary, was able TO
make the opposite players lose at will
This false deck of cards being inserted in
to the box, the spectators, betting at
choice against the bank, found that the
dealer distributed the favors of fortune all
to himself, and were at once convinced
how immoral thing gambling is. The
expert testified that he had been i'll the
service OF the defendant, and had used the
''strippers" to defraud the innocent Gus
toners. The defendant denies the Use OF
the "skin game" at his place, and says the
story of the expert is fabrication result
ing from a personal enmity. However
that may be, that such a sinful game is
possible seemed to DO pretty clearly de-
monstrated in open court.

THE HoRsEs.-All good people will fully
indorse these, The Ohio farmers remarks
on humanity to old horses: 1t is a common
practice in this country to make old horses
break the colt and too often work with
them for years. 1t is hard for an old horse
to work with colt or young active horse.
Old horses, like old men, are often capable
of performing more hard work than some
young ones, who can beat them for an hour
or more. The, old man wantS.to take
moderate jog and can hold out all day, but
a little immoderate exertion for few
minutes unstrings him perhaps for all day.
An old horse driven at the top of his speed
few miles spoils the days journey. When
once made sore or strained, the result is
stiffness the next day. The old horse
should not haul his load to town and then
be forced to trot back. 1t does not injure
him as much to do the heavy work with
slow motion as to do the light jobs at the
fast gait. Again, the old horse requires
more time to eat his meals and rest his
nerves OF all animals the old horse is the
worst abused. Although he has been the
most faithful and profitable servant, yet in
his old age the lash is applied to force
youthful vigor long gone. The older he
grows the more he feels the lash. He is
often turned out Of doors to give place to
the colts. All these things are inhuman
and shameful

An EAGLE ATTEMPTS TO KIDNAP A
CmLD.-Jacob Decker, living near Rhode
Lake, n. Y, has little daughter about
three years of age. One day while she
was playing in the yard, her shouts at
tracted her mother. Going out Mrs. Decker
found large eagle attempting to carry fl
the little one. Almost frantic with fright,
she seized the child and rushed toward
the hOu e. No sooner had she caught the
child in her arms than the eagle showed
fight. 1t followed Mrs Decker, pecking
savagely at the child, several times touch
ing her hair with its beak; but by running
rapidly and shielding the child as best she
could, she managed to reach the house in
safety. Enraged at being thus cheated of
lis prey, the eagle flew against the door
and beat turiously at the windows, as if
determined to effect an entrance, until
Mrs Decker, fearing it might break in,
hid her child in a closet for greater securi-
ty. At night the bird flew away. Early
the next morning the eagle again made its
appearance. After flying wildly around,
it perched upon tree hard by the house,
apparently awaiting an opportunity tore
new the attack. AS soon as she discover d
the bird, Mrs. Decker notified the neigh
bors, and it was shot. 1t proved to be an
American eagle, measuring seven feet be-
tween the tips of its wings.

Murdered by Burglars.

Chas. II. Phelps, a jeweler of New
York was killed by burglars who were
attempting to rob his house. Hearing a
noise Mr.. P. made search and had reach
ed the recess under the stairs which led
to the third floor when he saw two men
rush past. One was instantly seized by
Mr.. Philips, and struggle ensued. While
Mr.. Phelps was struggling with this thief
his confederate came to his assistance and
seized Mr.. Phelps by the arms. The first
thief then rushed down stairs, ran out of
the hall door and escaped. Mr.. Phelps
clung to the other, and terrible struggle
for the mastery ensued. The thief was
the more powerful man of the two, and
Mr.. Phelps, finding that he was getting
the best of him, shouted for friend in
the house to come to his assistance. The
friend heard the call and started to come
down the steps. At this the thief re-
doubled his exertions to free himself from
the grasp of Mr.. Phelps. Finding that he
could not do so in time to escape from
the other gentleman, who by this time
was half way down the steps, he pulled
revolver from his breast pocket, and
placing the muzzle close to Mr.. Phelps
breast fired. The shock caused Mr..
Phelps to loosen his hold, and the thief
darted for the stairs. Physicians were
called who declared Mr.. Phelps wound
mortal. His wife, who was in Syracuse,
was telegraphed for to come home, and
his daughter, who was at boarding-school
was sent for. On her arrival she tainted
away, and was with difficulty revived.

STRUCK BY A WHALE.-An unusal, al
though by no means unprecedented occur
renee, says an Australian paper, isreported
by Captain Lockyer, OF the bark King
Oscar. His account of it is as follows
The bark sailed from Hobart Town on the
18th ult., and on the 18th, when 80 miles
to the eastward, off Cape Howe, sighted a
large sperm whale, distant about 800 yards,
and proceeding in the same direction.
The monster fish remained in company
some considerable time-4 days, it is said
and fna'ly it was seen to lift its head
out of water and make furious dash at
the vessel, striking her with tremendous
force and careening her over several strcaks.
Those who felt the shock compare it to
the striking of vessel on rock. The
pumps were at once sounded, but at first
it was supposed no material damage was
done; subsequent sounding showed, how
ever, that the bark was making water at
the rate of six inches an hour, and this she
continued to Go up to the date of arrival.

GoATs.-A California journal tells a
story of a gentleman who, having gone
extensively into the Angora goat bust
ness, built spacious corral, and erected
waterproof sheds to protect his property
from the weather. When the first heavy
storm came he drove the goats into the
corral at night. But on going, late in
the evening, to look after, them, not a
goat could he find. Just as he was
about to 60 away, greatly disturbed, he
happened to lift his lantern and his eyes
upward, and he beheld the entire flock
of goats perched on the top of his care
fully constructed shed, and evidently en-
joying the heavy storm which was pour
ing down.
