A New Scientific Institution.
The project of Professor Louis Ag'
assiz, of Cambridge, Mass, to estab-
lish school of natural history, in It's
bearing on the cause of science and
its practical application to the agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests
of the whole country will, if success
full, have greater significance than
any educational movement of the
present century. Professor Agassiz,
in meeting a committee Of the Massa-
chusetts legislature at the Museum,
to state It's needs and the importance
of its work, set forth with admirable
simplicity his plan Of a School for
Naturalists, to he established on the
Atlantic coast in the neighborhOOd
Of New Bedford. He had, he said,
already secured the services of twen-
ty-Onc professors of the highest abil-
ity in their several departments, free
of charge for the first season. Instruc-
ton will be given for two or three
summer months each year to students
from our higher normal schools, semi
naries and colleges who desire to be
come tcacncIo or tho, ..->s:,,I -
jnrts
The objects Of study will be in
part: Extinct animals Of past ages
compared with those now living;
animals and plants living in deep
waters; natural history of fishes and
reptiles; natural history of birds and
mammals; breeding, nests and eggs
Of birds; breeding and improvement
of the domestic animals Of the farm
breeding of all kinds of fresh-water
fish, in ponds, lakes and rivers and
the preservation Of our sea fisheries /
chemistry Of the sea and air; chemis-
try Of feeding and breeding; draw
ing and painting of animals; micros-
cope. and habits, and history of in |
sects injurious to vegetation. These
are some Of the subjects in which he |
proposes to train teachers, not from
books, but with the actual specimens
and perfect anatomy before them.
While asking aid to preserve the
valuable collection Of the Hassler
Expedition (n0w on the point Of
spoiling) and for other objects of his
museum, he found practica, difficulty,
he said, in doing anything more this
year than to make an experiment of
his school for naturalists. lie pro-
posed beginning ut Nantucket, be-
cause there living was cheap and its
citizens had promised all the aid they

A FAMOUS class organization, no

inhabited the third story of a certain

played their sympathy for the Chi

lowing resolutions:

devastate her by giving brick apiece.
ReSolcsd, That We are all dead

Resolved, That there are too many
bricks in the chimney of this building.
ReS0IUed, That we remove brick
apiece, box them up and forward by
express to Chicago.
ResoiUed, That the expressage be
paid at the other end.
The plan was carried into execu.

with a letter of sympathy signed by

like veritable Aphrodites as they step
out of the sparkling water and into

There are a number of other baths
which can also be taken in this fres-
coed water-palace, the most famous,
perhaps, being the peat baths. formed
of the peat of this neighborhood,
which is said to be very rich in or
ganic and inorganic substances and
almost specific in obstinate cases
Of chronic rheumatism, cutaneous af-
fections and indolent ulcers of the
leg, etc. DR.. Sutro, in speaking
Of these baths, says: "The sensation
created by the peat-bath is, in my
opinion, the most pleasurable that
can possibly be excited by any bath
The warm. unctuous, elastic medium
gives support and yields at the same
time to our moving limbs. However
forbidding the black broth may look

the agreeable titillating effect exer-
cised by the semi-liquid mass on the
peniphenic ends of the nerves is ex-
tremeIy agreeable and you leave it

Tobacco and Liquor.

many people are poor when their
hard earnings are wasted on indul-

Bread is the great staple of food
and $200,00O,0O0 were spent last
year for flour TO feed our people.
But the tobacco sold in the country
for chewing, and smoking, and snuff
cost $3.50, 100000; about 81 for every
man, woman and child.
This is bad enough. but the cost

$50 tor every man, woman and child.
a large amount Of this is used in
poor families, and reduces them to

If thn rounn nnnnia of tbo Iord
would refuse to touch tobacco or
liquor this fearful extravaganza
would soon cease and the wealth of
the country increase with marvellous
rapidity.

The School of Natural History.

We publish in another place full
account of Mr.. Anderson's gift of an
island, the buildings thereon, and
sum of money for the establishment
of a school of Natural History under
the management of Prof. Louis Ag-
assiz. The establishment of school
Of this character has long been one
Of the dreams Of the great naturalist,
and it is with no small satisfaction
that we record the fact that this fancy
is to be made a fact through the
generosity Of one of our own citizens.
We are informed that Professor Ag-
ASST himself was overjoyed at the at
tainment of his wishes, q feeling
shared in the liveliest degree by the
poet Longfeltow, Professor Francis

practical Christianity which is now
finding manifestation on Wednesday
evenings i'll the chapel of the Church
of the Disciples, Boston, of which DR..
James Freeman Clarke is pastor. The
exercises consist of conversations, 4"
and the subjects Of the FIVE evenings
Of the course have been: "What
are we doing for apimals?" "What
are we doing for young men?" "What
are We doing for street boys?" "Tbe
condition of the prisons" and "What
are we doing for the little children ?"
To these conversations persons of all
denominations who have special
knowledge of the subjects under dis
cussion are invited, and many inter
esting and stimulating facts are thus
brought to light. At the last meet
ing to consider the needs Of the little
children, statements were made con-
cer1ling various of the nurseries, asy-
lums, and temporary homes for chill
dren. Among the speakers was Mr..
Patrick Douahoe. Of the Boston Pilot.

Jimmy Drake, the Little Apple
Peddler.

Very chilly it was on that March
morning when Jimmy set his basket
of apples down on a patch of dead
grass by miserable railway station!
Seating his weary little body beside
it, he commenced a tedious hour Of
waiting. 1t was for the morning
train bound westward and Jimmy
looked at the sun and along the
track III til it scattered itself in the
bare tangled woods. Prett5 soon an
older boy than Jimmy came in sight.
This boy came whistling up the
sidewalk with a great straw hat pull
ed over his forel cad and a fuzzy cir
Gle Of brown hair peeping out all
over the crown. There we're a great
many patches ON his clothes and
patches upon patches. His face was
brown as a little Indians and the
ten little fingers thrust so hard INTO
his trOwser's pockets were browner
than the face. There was nothing
very bright or nice about him except
two large, da5k eyes that shone out
from under the broad brfm Of the
hat. Very soon he reached the
track and as he came along, spied
Jimmy sitting 50 still by his basket
Jimmy's face was so white and the
little hands that covered it were so
thin that the newcomer stopped and
stared amazed.
"What's yer name, Bub?" What
you doin' here and who be you? I'm
wild Ned, | be-" Jimmy dropped
his hands and lifted a frightened
face to the speaker, who then seated
himself by the little peddIer's side.
"I'm only Jimmy Drake and l sell
these for a livin'," stretching out a
very ragged sleeve over his basket as
he spoke,
"Poor livin', amt it?" queried the
other, cycling Jimmy from his head
to his toes. ''Yes, | tell you It's,
said Jimmy. I'D gave it up long ago,
but pennies will help a feller some.

"Be you the man of the brood

"Ohl no." and Jimmy's eyes filled
with tears. ''He died before Jacky
could walk. Folks laid him up there
on the hill and l wish could be put
there too.' These words were spo-
ken 50 sadly that the boy under
the big hat stared agdin with eyes
larger and darker than ever.
"Tou amt one bit sham. Be you? |
