Anniversary Meeting at Steinway Hail.
Thc Exercises by the Pupils.
The anniversary exhibition of the scholars con-
nected with the Institution for the Blind took place
last evening at Steinway Hail. gOodly audience
assembled to witness the exercises and all those
present expressed their appreciation by repeated
encores
The proceedings opened with prayer beautiful
voluntary npon the organ followed, and after that
came the SOLDIERS Chorus" from Faust, which
was exquisitely rendered by the sweet-faced chill
dren from whom the Almighty has chosen to
shut out the power Of sight. After
wellrendered duet and q spelling lesson, in
which the scholars showed themselves to full ad-
vantage, the solo and chorus from Verdis 'Ernani'
was rendered, ana then fantasia by the same
composer was executed In exquisite taste by Miss
Fannie 5aInuels and Master William Maxwell. Yer

deprived Of the powers OF sight he would
doubtedly gain a high position In the world
of song. The intellectual arithmatical exer-
cses were rather slow, but the Madrigal,
''The Summer Gale that Gently Blows,n
afforded much satisfaction to the numerous
hearers. Miss Sarah Livingston performed q
piano solo from Mendessohn admirably, and J.
Mahoney sang "Adelade" In n manner that
merited the warm encomiums Of the audience.
The other exercises were in keeping, and the
plaudits which greeted the scholars ON their re-
tirement from the stage showed how fully satisfied
those persons were who had assembled to witness
the exercises.

SALT BRINE FOR LlcE.-We clip
the following remedies Tor these
pests from Colmdae Rsral World:
lin answer to many inquiries for
a remedy for lice, We will state
that an application of brine. as
strong as it can be made. is GER
tain remedy. 1t will kill the Ice
outright, but not always the Dits /;
hence second or third applica
ton is required TO be eftctual.-
Hogs are greatly pestered with
lice, and they should be destroyed.
Watch the colts and calves care
fully, and if you see any failing,
look out for lice. A close inspec-
ton will reveal hundreds of them
feeding upon the poor animal
An application on a warm day of
brine will bring great relief. A
decoctiun of tobacco applied will
also rid the animal OF these pests.
a thorough greasing is also very
good remedy. Don't let the pour
animals suffer when these RENE
dies are so simple. These appli-
cations are as good for human be-
ings as for brutes.

Gently made TO US some interest

fresh eggs. The same results,
in several cases to which he was

The Value of Pedigree.

Judge Thomas c. Jones, of
Delaware, Ohio in one of his pub.
lie addresses, recently gave clev-
er illustration of the value of
pedigree. He called attention to
the well known fact that in breed.
ing like produces like, or the hike.
ness OF some ancestor, and then
be gave remarkable instance Of
peculiarities lying dormant for
several generations aud afterwards
resppeared. A white woman the
wife oil a white man. gave birth to
a Child OF decided African charac-
teristics. AS her reputation for
virtue was above suspicion, the
case was regarded curious until
investigation revealed the fact
that some five generations ptevi-
ously negro blood was visible in
the family.
at u.s." says Judge Jones,
therefore, a well established prin.
ciple in breeding that we cannot
be confident of our ability to
transmit any desired quality, I'm
less we are assured that such
quality also belonged to the ances
tors of the animal we select un-
less, indeed, be belongs to a Tdoe
in which such characteristics Is
confirmed. Upon this sound foun-
dation rests the argument In .Ja-
cor Of u pedigree. An animal
may be ever 80 perfect in himself,
and y,t be utterly valuless as a
breeder, tecause he does not be-
long to breed in which such ex-
celIence is known to have exis.
ted for many GENERATIONS. Tie
purer and the less mixed the
breed the more likely Is it to be
transmitted unmiXed to the pro.
geny; and, therefore, we know
that the parent purest III b,ood
wilt be more represented In the
offspring than the one Of mixed
or inferior blood.
