Anecdotes of John Bunyan.
To pass away the gloomy
hours in prison, Bunyan took
a rail out of his stool belong
ing to his cell, and with his
knife fashioned it into a flute.
The keeper hearing music, fol
lowed the sound to Bunyan's
cell, but while he was unlock
ing the door the ingenious
prisoner placed the rail in the
stool, SO that the searchers
were unable to solve the mys-
terry; nor during the remainder
of Bunyan'S residence in the
Jail did they ever discover how
the music was produced.
From all old accounts of
Bedford there is an equally
good anecdote, a man came to
Bunyau in Jail, one day, with
what he professed to be a mes.
sage from the Lord. "After
searching for thee" said he, IN
shalt the jails in England, l
am glad to have found thee at
last" Mf the Lord sent thee"
said Bunyan,:.sarc stically,"you
would not have needed to t,ke
so much trouble to find me
out, for he knows I have been
in Bedford Jail these seven
years past"

AMONG the drowned sailors
Of the Atlantic was a woman,
whose sex was discovered upon
recovery of the body from the
water. She went by the name
OF Bill, End had made three
voyages. She was excessively
fond of tobacco, but was a fs
vorite and free from many OF
the vices of the common sailor.
She was an American, but her
history was buried with her,
for who she was or where she
came from, or why she adopted
mans pursuit, will never be
known.

Do not let your little ones

an atmosphere of frost. Do
not repulse them. With your
hearts overaowing with the
real mother love, how can youG
The affection of the child is
spontaneous. The baby lips
are lavish of kisses, and the
soft baby arms twine instinct
lively about the mother who
takes care of and feeds. But
as the child grows older, let
her repulse him ever so little

that his caresses are u ''bother," 4"
he feels the chill and retires
into himself. But let her cher

tenderness, and he will grow
with it, never be too proud to
show it. Then, tender mother,
you shall have your reward
Your young men and women
will keep to the affectlouate
ways OF childhood, and their
caresses, gentle and sweet shall
fall upon your heart like dew,
| love to hear a boy say that
he is never going to be too big
to kiss his mother, and I love
to see a young lady with her
arms about her mothers neck.

which there is security for her.

tenderly loves and trusts a
faithful mother.

A GENERAL Indian war, it
seems, after all, ic not to be on
the programme this spring
The Modocs, through their en-
isaries, have been able to stir
up few scattered remnants of
tribes within reach of the "lava
BEDS" in Nevada and Oregon,
but the great mass of the In
dian race are hey ond the reach
otMcdoc influences. The peace
Commission maintain and are
extending their friendly rela
tions; the warlike rumors of
the past few weeks have gen
orally proven to be falsehoods
disseminated by those to
whom the swish is father to the
thought"

THE spirit OF rebel fendiSh-
ness is still transparent in the
Southland especially in Geor-
gia. The latest evidence of
1t is given in a recent issue of
the Georgian, a paper publish
ed at Athens, in that State, the
editor choosing the following
language to announce the mas.
sacre OF Gen. Candy by the
Modocs.
"Captain Jack and his war
riors avenge the South by
numbering General Candy, one
OF her greatest oppressorS.
" n Keep the ball in
motiohl Three cheers for the
gallant Modocs2''
1T is very evident from the
tone Of the above that all the
Modocs of the country do not
inhabit the Oregon lava beds.

Remarkable Telegraphic Feat.

Remarkable Telegraphic Feat.
Capt. j. Ii. Hills, a Vermont
telegraphic operator, being on a
snow-bound train where severe
suffering was anticipated, with.
out speedy relief, cut the tel
egraphic wires, took their ends
into a car where they could
be sufficiently warmed to ad-
nit of being readily handled,
and by sticking the ends to-
gether was able to "call" the
operator at one of the princi.
pal stations on the road. He
then sent the following mes
sage: "Trouble. Answer slowly.
| am working without any in.
strument; l will receive your
answer through my tongue.'
Captain H. received the an.
swer by putting one end of the
wire above and the other under
his tongue, and letting the
electric current pass through
II, when he was able to read by
the succession of sharp and
somewhat painful electrical
shocks. His success was per-
feet, and he not only sent and
received messages for the con-
ductor, but for several of the
passengers The only i'll con
sequences of the exploit was
the total loss of taste which
Captain Il. suffered for several
days afterwards.

EXPERIMENTS have been made
at Suresnes, France, before a
large number of interested oh
servers, on the possibility oil
preserving vines from the &C
tion offrost, by artificial clouds.
In a vineyard Of twenty hec.
tares there were placed 800
iron vessels containing a heavy
oil. All these firepots were
lighted at once, and a thick,
black cloud was interposed be-
tween the vines and the sky.
When the weather is calm, and
the sky clear (and it is in such
circumstances that the frosts
which so injure vines in spring
mostly occur,) this cloud con.
tinues all the time necessary
to exercise its protective lnhu-
ence. The cost OF the opera
ton (lncluding pots, oil, and
labor) was estimated at about
five francs per hectare, or 2.5
statute acres; and all the Wit.
iculturists expressed them.

vantages of this means OF pres
