CASPAR'S CHILDREN.

There is a saying in Germany that it is
easier for a father to rear six children, than
for six children to provide for one father.
And they give for example the case Of an
old mar named Caspar, who gave up house
and land and property, to be divided among
his six children, on the one condition that
they were to care for him till his death.
For some time he lived with his eldest
son, till one day he came to him saying
Father, I think that baby's cradle ought
to stand in the corner where your arm chair
is. Do you think you could go and live
with my next brother, who has q larger
room than this?'
The old fellow, anxious to obIige, trotted
off to his second sons house. There be
abode some little time, till this one said,-
Father, you like the room SO warm
thet it gives me a headache. Don't you
think it would suit you better to go and
live with my brother who is a baker? 2
The poor old man meekly nodded his
head, and went away to his third son.
Here he had not remained long before his
son came to him, saying
Father, ours is such a busy house, folk
in and out all day !; you cannot possibly
get your afternoon sleep. I strongly adj
wise you to go and stay with my sister
Katherine, in her quiet cot on the city
WALL
The Oldham was beginning to get tired
of these moves, but he answered quietly,
Yes, yes; all right, I'll go: perhaps he
added under his breath, it's best. SO wo
men have kinder hearts,
He,had hardly, however, settled down
with his daughter Katherine, when she
came to him.
Father she said, sit puts me in a
tremble all over to think of that great
flight of steps you must 60 down on your
way to church, or into the town. l am
always fancying you will break your neck.
Don't you think you would be better
with sister Elizabeth ? her house is on the
level, and much safer for you
Caspar wished to live in peace with his
family, so though his heart was sore, he
pretended to see the wisdom Of her advice,
and went straight off to his daughter
Elizabeth. But in a very short time he
got to hear, through a third person, that
She thought her house down by the wa
terside q very unfit place for an old man
troubled with rheumatism. She wonder
ed he did not go to her sister the grave
digger's wife, at st. Johns which was q
dry situation.
Old Caspar took the hint, as he had
done so often before, and saying Good
bye, crept out to his youngest daughter
Lena, his last and dearest. He had only
been there two days, however, when his
tiny grandson toddled up to him, and
gazing right into his eyes, as children will,
stammered OUT
Grandfather, do you know what Moth
er said to Aunt Lizette, yesterday that
she thought you'd be best off in one of
those pits that father digs in the church
ward. Would you like that?
This speech Of the needless child was
too much for the poor long-sufering old
fellow it broke his heart. He tottered
to his armchair and died.
And after all he was best off in bis quiet
grave; only his body lay there, and no
one disturbed that; while his poor vexed

A TALE OF HORRORS FROM JAMAICA
On more than one occasion we Lancet
have called attention to the circumstances
connected with the medical care Of the
population during a severe and recent out
break OF small pox in the parish Of st.
Andrews, Jamaica, and to the charges of
neglect and ineficiency brought against
the sanitary authority by DR.. Bowerbank.
We have now before US an important re-
port Of Mr.. Drake, District County Judge,
and Mr.. Cruise, surgeon to HIM S. A6Oukjr,
who were appointed to examine into the
matters IN dispute, and it clearly substan-
tIates the truth of DIR. Bowerbank's aver
ments, and discloses q series of positive
crueIties perpetrated upon the unfortunate
persons who were attacked by the disease
Tor the occurrence of which in any part
OF the civiIised world we were wholly an
prepared. No one can fail to see how
completely DR.. Bowerbank has justified
his statements. He deserves the thanks Of
tue community In Jamaica for the fearless
and persistent manner in which he brought
forward these accusations, and iual!y OBJ
tanned a public inquiry in regard to them.
Such administration of the sanitary de-
partment OF the Government as that dis
closed by Mr.. Drake and Mr.. Cruise, in the
time OF a serious epidemic, is discredi,able
In the extreme, and indeed criminal. We
beg to call the attention of Lord Kimberley
to the report above referred to, and we
hope he will act promptly in the matter,
and so as to render the recurrence Of d
similar state Of things impossible,-lLaL.

A CRAB RAcE.-Shakspere implies
that the progress Of a crab is back
wards. But it would seem that some
holiday wlghts have contrived to get
some fun out of him. A new sport has
been i%naugurated at Ostend, which,
while simple enough in itself, has the
advantage common to most sports of
facilitating the circulation ofloose cash.
It3 consist of crab races. Five or six
large crabs are placed in a line at a
distance Ofsome thirty yards from the
sea, and kept in position by a finger
laid on the back On the signal being
given TO let go, the crabs start in their
ut calmly fashion for their ocean home,
and the first who reaches it gains the
prize. A crab named GLQdjateur has al
ready achieved great celebrity by his
speedy method ofprogression in a%Iateral
direction aud has won morethanf five hun
dred francs for his owner. One merit
of this new style is that ii does not lend
itself to any sophistries about improving
the race.'-B0rb. Agr. Rep.

Historical.

The tendency Of the time seems to be
in the direction of the historical The
past two weeks have witnessed on the
Western Reserve such a series of pio-
heer meetings, reunions, historical pic
mics and other social out-of-door gath
erings as we venture TO say cannot be
remembered as having occurred before
since this State was settled. A number
of the Northern, Ohio counties have
found these pioneer gatherings SO pleas
ant and suggestive that they have set
about organizing permanent historical
societies with view of collecting and
preserving in permanent. form the rec
objections of the pioneers, whose mem-
cries are fast becoming dimmed, and
whose voices will soon be hushed for
ever. The time for such gathering of
is propitious. A few
years hence the opportunity will be lost
The men and women who conquered
the forests of Northern Ohio and hewed
its wide expanse of fruitful farms out of
the wilderness of those early days, are
now feeble and bent with age. If their
children would preserve an adequate
record of their early trials and heroism.
they must gather the story before it is
too late. We announce with pleasure
that an important historical pioneer
meeting was held at the fair grounds
in Burton, Geauga county, Sept. 10th,
to which all the pioneers of the county
were cordially invited. A dinner and
speeches, including an address by Gen
eral Garfield, were among the pro-
eeedings, and it is intended to organize

From the Pomeroy Telegraph =
A Wonderful Discovery.

A great discovery has of late been
made at a. well known cave, situated on
the farm of Mr.. John Bradford, in Sal
isbury township, near the Rutland and
Pomeroy road. Some two weeks since
man named Bickle chased rabbit in
to the cave, and in an attempt to dig. it
out, found human bones imbeded in
ashes. This circumstance being made
known, it drew the attention Of DR.. w.
A. Watkins, of Rutland. Last week he,
in company with Mr.. Bradford, the
owner of the cave, proceeded to the
spot, and digging two and half feet in
the bed of ashes, found skulls and skel-
etons of various sizes, from. infants to
full grown persons. Il appeared that
they had been more or less burnt,
though some of the bones, particularly
one skull was quite sound. The skele-
tons were found in a horizontal position
some with heads to the east, and some
to the west.
The cave is some forty feet long, and
over it projecting rock. The quantity
of wood ashes found is immense-not
less than several hundred bushels. AZ
ter digging four feet, the bottom of the
bed was not reached. How SO large a
quantity of ashes, as well as bones, came
there, is involved i'll the deepest mys-
terry. Supposition would induce the be-
lief that this cave must have been, in by
gone ages, a great charnel house, where
the bodies of the dead were consumed, il
not the scene of thousands of funeral
piles, upon which the living also perish
ed with the dead,a was formerly custo-
mary in India. Or it might have been
temple of heathen worship, where hu-
man sacrifices were made to appease the
wrath of the gods. But to say the least
it shows most conclusively the existence
of an ancient race, of which we have no
knowledge. 81 ..i, ...:.- a. t...

A New Way Of Getting a Pair
-'i" Of Shoes. '-''

1t is recorded that a certain impecu-
nious man who boards around in the
Second District, was some days ago
aroused to the melancholy fact that he
was almost shoeless, and that the fall
was on him, to be followed in due course
Of time by the stern and rigorous win
ter, when no. man with the proper
amount of feeling in his feet could go
barefoot. The matter was one of pain
full interest to him, and he pondered
long and deeply on the way he should
overcome the misfortunes of depleted
purse, and at last he got an idea, an un-
usual thing for him but strange to say,
1t was a brilliant one. He acted on it,
and this is how he did: With the as
surance of a man with well-filled
pocket, he entered shoe store and had
his measure taken for a covering of his
foundations. The obliging Crispin re-
ceived particular instructions as to the
manner and style of make, and his new
found customer left, but only. to, enter
another shoe store some squares below
where the same performance was gone
through. - i---i ID e'.tsi' "-s"
In time both pairs of shoes were
made, and the. shoeless man with the
dignity of free and respectable citizen
and legal voter, called ON shoemaker
No. 1, tried on the right foot shoe and
came to the conclusion that it might fit
better il he had on pair of socks.
Would the shoemaker be so obliging as
to let him. take that one shoe home?
and if it suited he would come back for
the other. OF course the shoemaker
was but too happy, and the purchaser
left, and No. was visited. From him
the left foot shoe Was obtained in the
same manner, completing the pair. =, q
There are two mad men. down town
and if the shoe-purchasing chap ever
crosses the way of either there will be

Female 1nfansicide.

Ayisorous effort is set on foot by the
civil authorities in China TO put stop
to the long established practice Of par
ents killing their female infants. A
proclamation has been issued in one OIL
the Provinces denouncing the practice,
and after giving the reasons which par
ents plead in Justification of their crime
the paper. says: .-i '.-'.-
ssNow all these are the most stupid OF
reasons. People seem to be ignorant OF
the fact that no men are born from
heaven without ssme share Of its bless
ings, and that hunger, cold or oodiiy
comfort are matters of predestinationi )
so also with sons and heirs. which are
even in a greater degree dependent upon
the destiny of heaven and cannot be
foreibly coaxed out of it. ga
All that those have to do who are un-
able through poverty to feed their child
rem is to send them to the Founding
Hospital, where they will be reared up
until they become women and wives-a and
where they will always be sure Of en-
joying natural lifetime. -
With regard to the question of money
or no money in the bridal casket, means
or no means Of bringing up q family,
why the bare necessaries of life for such
children in the shape of the coarsest
gown and head gear 10 not cost much.
There are cases enough of poor lads not
being able to find wife all their lives
long, but the treasurer has yet to hear
of poor girl who cannot find hus-
band, so that there is even less cause FOR
anxiety on that score" s
Many other arguments are applied
which make out a strong case against
inianticine, and if the edicts are enferc-
ed, the practice will be broken down In
time.
