Milford Lieutenant of Ireland.

The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whose
Office Lord John Russell has given
notice in the British Parliament of
motion to abolish, has salary of f20,-
600 per annum, with a residence in
Dublin Castle and another at Phoenix
Park, and is expected to spend great
deal more than his official income. His
household resembles that of the Queen,
but on smaller scale, with its state
steward, comptroller, gentlemen ushers,
gentlemen-at-large, chamberlain, master
of the horse, waiting, u
ster king of arms, aides-de-camp, pages,
and altogether, the cost of viceroyalty,
paid out of the public purse, is between
1000 and 100000 per annum. The
fact is mentioned that more than thirty
years ago, when Mr.. Hume moved the
abolition of the Irish Viceroyalty, Rus
sell opposed the motion with more We
hemence than he is now likely to exhibit
in supporting his own, which is the same
in effect that Hume's was.

The Great Chinese Rebellion.

The Chinese rebellion is one of the
great mysteries of the world. 1t began
at time so far back that probably no
man living remembers the first battle.
1t has been waged with varying success,
and always with carnage and destruc-
ton. Beside it, our "Christian" wars
pale into insignifcance when compared
as to loss of life. The browning tale of
blood from that mysterious struggle,
however, has lately come to us through
English sources. 1t is that the imperial
forces lately met and defeated the rebels
near Tali-fu, Province of Yunnan, fell
upon the inhabitants, who are Moham-
medan rebels, and put 10000 of them
to death. Whether the rebels have the
vitality to recover and retaliate, is un-
known; but it is to be expected that a
power that has resisted so successfully
so long, cannot be crippled by single
blow, terrible though it may be.

". EXPECTATIONS.

1t would take too long to tell all the
little tricks Samuel played in school,
and the trouble he caused his good
teacher: but she soon got him to try
to do better, and then it was not long
till he got over the most of his bad
habits.
She told him how naughty it was to
be rude and saucy and that if he
wished to be loved, he must be good to
every one and if he would be respect
ed, he must come to school neat and
nice, and act like little man.
When he did anything that was
wrong she would not punish him, if he
showed that he was sorry for it, and
would promise to do better but if he
was stubborn and bad she would pun
ish him some, and in way that he was
not looking for, and let him know that
she was sorry for him.
This kind of training soon caused
him to be very good boy, and to try to
excel all others in learning.
He soon got through his primer, and
when the term of school closed, he was
able to read in First Reader.
When the next term of school begun
he was the first one there, and had some
nice new books.
His face and hands were clean, and
his hair combed smoothly, and he was
cheerful and happy.
He now learns very fast, and always
tries TO keep at the head of his class
and he says when he gets to be a man,
he expects to be President of the United
States.
Minnie Warner says when Sammy
Snarl gets to be President, that she in
tends to be the Presidents wife. Oh
course she is in fun, but she wishes il
would all come true.-Schoolday Mag

Catching the Early Train.

One of the greatest delights of board
ing in the country for the summer is
the pleasure a man derives from his
efforts to catch the early morning train
by which he must reach the city and
his business. When he gets out of bed
he looks at his watch, and finds he has
plenty of time, so he dresses leisurely,
and sits down to breakfast in a calm
and serene state of mind. Just as he
cracks his first egg he hears the up
train. He starts, jerks out his watch,
compares it with the clock, and finds
that it is eleven minutes slow, and that
he has only four minutes left in which
to get to the depot. In a fearful hurry
he tries to scoop the egg out of the
shell, but it burns his fingers, the skin
is tough, and after fooling with it for a
moment it mashes into hopeless mass,
and he gets his fingers smeared. He
drops the whole concern in disgust,
grabs hot roll, and scalds his tongue
with quick mouthful of coffee then
he stuffs the roll in his mouth, while his
wife hands him his satchel, and tells
him she thinks she hears the whistle.
He plunges madly around the room
looking for his umbrella then kisses
his wife as well as he can with all that
unswallowed bread distending his
cheeks, says goodbye to the children
in a lump, and makes q dash for the
door. Just as he goes to the gate he
finds that he has forgotten his buster,
and he charges back after it, snatches it
up, and tears down the gravel walk in a
frenzy. He doesn't like to run through
the village, because that would be I'M
dignifed; but he walks furiously. He
goes faster and faster. Half way down
he does hear the whistle, for certain.
He wants to run, but he knows that he
will start up that yellow dog there by
the sidewalk if he does. Then he
actually sees the train coming in at she
depot. and he feels that he must make
rush. He does. The yellow dog be-
comes excited, and tears after him. Six
other dogs join in the chase, one after
the other, and bark furiously, and frolic
around his legs. Small boys contribute
to the excitement as he goes past, by
whistling on their fingers, and the men
at work on the new Westinghouse knock
off to look at him and laugh. He feels
ridiculous, but he must catch that train.
He gets desperate when he has to slacken
mn until two or three women, who are
on the sidewalk discussing the servant
girl question and thu price of butter,
scatter to let him pass. He arrives
within one hundred yards of the depot
with duster flying in the wind, coat tail
horizontal, and the yellow dog nipping
his heels, just as the train begins to
move. He puts on extra pressure, and
resolves to make that train or perish.
He reaches it as the last car is going
past. He seizes the hand-rail, is yio-
iently jerked around once or twice, but
finally lands on the step on his knees,
and is hauled in by his coat-collar by
the brakeman, hot, mad, dusty, with
his trowsers torn across the knees, his
shins bruised, and three ribs in his
umbrella broken. Just as he gets COM
fortably into the car the train stops,
backs up on the siding, and lies there

Beer.

The Germans in the United States,
and those Americans who affect fond
ness for lager-beer, don't drink it as it
is drank in Germany. They rush into
a restaurant and gulp down two or three
glasses and move on. Here German
never thinks of finishing his glass of
beer in less than ten minutes, and to
drink it without eating something at the
same time, even if it is only crust of
brown bread. In fact, a German in the
Fatherland is constitutionally opposed
to doing anything in a hurry, and es-
pecially in drinking beer with "rapid
speed" The consequence is that we
do not see men here with great, huge
paunches, as at home, capable of swal-
lowing a keg of beer after supper.
They seldom treat one another, but sit
down to the tables, and although they
daink together, each man pays for what
he consumes, whetherit be beer or food.
This of itself is great preventive of
excess, as, if half dozen or dozen
were to sit down to drink, as with us,
each must treat in turn, and thus six or
dozen glasses be guzzled, whether they
want it or not. If our temperance
friends could institute what is called
the Clutch treat" into our saloons,
each man paying his own reckoning. il
would be long step toward reform in
drinking to excess. In short, beer in
Germany is part of each mans food.
He takes it as sustenance, and not as
stimulant. - Vienna Letter.

ARTIFICIAL CLoUDs.-The idea was
suggested, not long since, of protecting
the vineyards of France, during critical
periods of cold, by the formation of arti-
fetal clouds that should prevent excess
sive radiation from the soil, and the ex-
pertinent was recently tried at Suresnes.
In vineyard of about fifty acres there
were placed $50 iron vessels containing
heavy oil. All these being lighted at
once, thick black cloud was soon in
terposed between the vines and the sky.
During clear and calm weather these
clouds remain in place, and thus per-
fectly answer the purpose. The expense
of this operation, including pots, oil and
labor, was estimated at about forty
cents per acre, and those who witnessed
the experiment were assured of its value
and practicability.

sammy snarl.

In THE ROUGH.
When Samuel Ward was a wee bit of
baby, he was cross, peevish, lima
tured child.
His papa and mamma would quar-
rel about everything that did not go just
right.
They had no patience with their son,
but would scold or punish him often,
and sometimes whip him to make him
stop crying, which would only make him
Cry the more.
1t was strange how Sammy lived
but he did, and grew to be a stout,
hearty lad ; but he was not pretty, and
he had very bad temper.
He would fight and scratch, and kick,
and bite if you would but crook your
finger at him and if ne could not get
what he wanted, he would pout and cry
till he would nearly make himself sick.
He was always in some kind of mis-
chief, and would torment the cat and
dog, and tease his little brother and sis
ter till there was no peace or happiness
in the house.
Nobody liked him, or spoke we'll of
him, but would call him /" Sam Snarl, -
or say, there goes the Snarler, as he
would pass by.
When he got old enough to go to
school, his parents, in order to get rid
of his noise, bought him Pictorial
Primer, and told him he must go to
school.
He didn't know what going to school
meant, but he knew it was something
his parents wanted him to do sohe said
at once that he wouldn't do it.
His papa then got rod and taking
him by the hand dragged him along
toward the school house, and would give
him cut with the switch every little
while, to make him keep up.
When they got to the school house
Mr.. Snarl called the teacher to the door,
and said
Miss Lane, / have fetched you one of
the worst boys you ever seen an if
you kin make anything outen him, it's
more'n me an my oman kin do. He's
pesky bad boy, an takes more whip
pin than an OK; so I'll leave this ere
rod with you. Good mornin', mann. u
"Good morning, sir, was all that Miss
Lane said, as she turned to Samuel and
viewed his unwashed hands and face,
and his rough head, which looked as il
it had never been combed.

Diamonds and Diamond Cutters.

1t was supposed after the discovery of
the diamond fields in South Africa, that
these gems would become as cheap as
they promised to be plenty. But people
who thought 80 reckoned without their
host, and the host in this case were the
diamond cutters. The old Dutch city
OF Amsterdam contains nearly all the
skillful diamond cutters in the world,
and for centuries it has been the head
quarters of the trade in these costly
gems. These artisans have a very closely
managed trades union, and in order to
keep up the price of cut gems, they have
raised their wages in proportion as the
price OF rough diamonds has diminished.
The members of this association obi
gate themselves to take no apprentice,
except that, at the end of three years
time, number OF apprentices may be
admitted, equal to the number of men,
bers that have died during that period.
Any member who violates this obliga-
ton is expelled from the union, while
the other members are forbidden to
work with him, or to remain in the shop
of man who gives him employment.
The wages of diamond cutters have in
creased tenfold within few years,

This paragraph, from the Wilmington
Commercial, shows sad state of affairs
in little Delaware. "Under our present
penal code, man who steals loaf of
bread is publicly whipped, but man
who murders another, and cuts him up
into pieces, is not punished at all. This
seems wrong. In the Dover Jail is John
Carpenter, black man, who will be
hung ON the 9th of this month. His
crime is, being found under bed in a
house, and it is assumed that he intend
ed to commit rape There are circum-
stances in his favor which throw grave
doubt on this inference, but John will
be hung as sure as the 9th day of June

Pms.-These grand promoters of in
digestion may be considered an "insti-

pies an hour from one of its ten capa-

daily, the year round, forcing the sup

m.-sAMMY's TEACHERS TRIALS.

It is hard to govern a school well and
please all, for no two are alike, and
many teachers are charged with being
partial for acting differently with differ
ent ones.
Miss Lane had no set rules to govern
her school by, but treated each case as
she thought it deserved. She acted
upon the principle of right, and triedto
inspire all with love of truth and hon
or and wisdom.
She had nicely framed and hung upon
the walls of the school-room such mot
toes as "Be True" Be Good, " " BE
Wise, I" 4" Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you, -" Go up high
en-" etc., and on the top of the black
board was written:
/" II ct first You don't succeed,
Try, try again"

To Preserve Single Roofs.

There is good deal better and cheap
er way of preserving single roofs than
to paint them. Here is very effective
recipe for preserving shingles Take a
potash kettle or large tub and put it
into one barrel of wood-ashes lye, five
pounds of white vitriol, five pounds of
alum, and as much salt as will dissolve
in the mixture. Make the liquor quite
warm, and put as many shingles in it as
can be conveniently wetted at once:
Stir them up with fork, and when well
soaked take them out and put i'll more,
renewing the liquor as necessary. Then
lay the shingles in the usual manner.
After they are laid, take the liquor that
is left, put lime enough to make it into
a whitewash, and apply to the roof with
brush or an old broom.

the little stranger by the hand.

Samuel had now got in a good humor.
He was witty, but saucy; and as he
had never been taught any manners,
no one should think strange of his rude
ness.
Miss Lane soon saw that she had q
stubborn, willful boy to deal with, and
that it would require great deal of pa
tience and skill to manage him rightly
SO she silently prayed for wisdom to
guide her in the right way.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The sulky Oleantler.


Little Oleander-slip,
Cut from mother-tree,
Was about as disagreeable
As little slip could be.
Didn't like her pot Of earth;
Said she wouldn't grow;
This was very naughty
And foolish, too, you know.
Little oleander-slip
drink of water had:
Didn't do her any good
Continued 10 be bad.
Sulky oleander
Hung her little head,
Aud dropping over sidewise,
Pretended she was dead.
But IL wasn't any good
Playing such a trick;
Tied up Oleander
To little stick;
Shut her in a closet,
Very dark, you know,
Till she made her mind up
To he good and grow.
Darkness has good effect
On Oleander's head;
" What's the use OF acting so:"
To herself she said.
Strengthened up her whiting stalk;
Really tried to smile;
Guess Wen have TO let her out
In little while.
Morning bright and sunny,
Air SO fresh and pure;
Oleanders had enough
OF closet, am sure.
" BE good, Oleander ."
"Yes, heard her say;
And she's kept her promise
From that very day.
Other little flowers
Sometimes act just so,
And in darkened closets
Often had 10 go.
There in calm reflection,
II will not be strange
II a short confinement
Works wondrous change.
