SnobS.
IFron the Galaxy.l

Are there such things in good
American society Us snebs! A snob,
according to the great authority on
this subject, is one who "meanly a,l-
mires mean things" but this detini-
ton is so wide that We are lost in il.
We must go to the lifelikc portraits
painted by Thackcray, rather than TO
his definition, for the real meaning Of
the word. The British snob is man
or woman who worships rank, and
worships it with uaivo opcnucss. to
the amusement of bystanders, not
for what it is really worth, but with
n stupid, idolatrous zeal, partly grov-
elling before it because it is powerful
and he is weak, partly because hc cx-
poets some return for his alteration,
well knowing as he does that his god
is after all human, and that human
huttery must be mixed with rcvcr-
cnce if his worship is TO have
Its proper effect. Perhaps the
most characteristic trait of the true
snob is the contrast between the
feudalism of his ideal of the relation
between himself and his supcriors in
station, and the vulgar commercial
basis OF the real relation aud his
natural life. 1t is this contrast
which, as much as anything, makes
Thackcray's descriptions and situa-
,ions in the "Book of Snobs" SO ire
sistibly amusing. But the American
snob-on what soil does he grow
We know the British snob when we
meet him, but by what traits are we
to recognize his American brother ?
lie must meauly. admire some mean
thing, but it cannot be rank, because
we have abolished rank. 1t must be

he does not exhibit his snobbishncss
in the way we should expect. The
true snob is naive, but naivete is not 0
common trait in great American
cities. Naivcte in New York Or III
Chicago would be rs lard thing tc
find as Artcmus Ward assured us
'monarchy" was in Canada. Among
the qualities which are usually al

NIorov.nn Ccn,eterI.

In the Morovian Cemetery in Salem,
N. c., they separate and classify their
dcad-nlalc infant from female; the
old from the young: the married from
the unmarried. They wont bury
the husband by his Wife. The dead
arc all placed Oh all equality. The
tombstones are all alike, being small
blocks of marble foot square, that
they place at the head of the grave.
No different tombstone is allowed.
Neither can you find a single epitaph.
Some of the graves are over one hun
dred years old. One, a negro's,
reads: "Abra'iam Niger, Guinea, died
April II, l77o." On Easter morning
soon after midnight, the Moravians
get up and march to the cemetery
with band of muse i'll front, and
the procession tapered of from the
Youngest to the oldest persons, who
bring up the rear. They remain in
the cemetery playing music and con-
ducting services until morning 1t is
is said they go there to see the dead
rise. When Morovian dies in Sa-
lem, instead of tolliug the bells, they
announce the death with band OF
music in the church beifry. They
have three different tunes-one for tht
old, tone for the young and one fol
the married. An old inhabitant'i

Lora Bacon ON Riches.

Believe not them that seem to dcspise
riches, for they desPise them that despair
Of them; and none worse than they who
come to them. Be not pennywise; riches
have wings, and sometimes they fly away of
themselves, sometime they must be set
flying to bring in more. Men leave their
riches either to their kindred or to the
public; and moderate portion prospers
best with both. A great estate left to AT
heir is a lure to all the birds of prey around
to sieze on him, if he be not the better es-
sablished in years and judgment; like
wise glorious gifts and foundations are like
sacrifices without sal,, and bur the painted
sePulchres of aims, which viii soon
putrety and corrupt inwardly. There
fore measure not thine advanccments by
quantity, but frame them by measures =
and defer not charities till death. For
certainly, ifaman weigh rightly. he that
doeth so is rather liberal of another mars
than his own.

Pet Rats In Georgia.

p A strange story is told by the
Augusta Constiiutionalist of tho now
celebrated criminal. Susan Ebcrhardt,
and her queer pets. IL reminds one
of the old tales OF Picciola and Baron
Trenck. Says the Constitutionalist !:
'.Susan Eberhadt, the unfortunate
woman who was hanged at Preston
OH Friday, while in prison awaiting
the execution of her awful sentence,
whilcd away the solitary hours by
making friends of the rats that
haui access to her cell. A gentleman
called to see her ! few days before
her execution, and, after some con-
versation with her. told her that he
had understood that sho had some
pet rats. She answered affirmatiycly,
and then he told her that he wanted
TO see them. She tapped on the floor
when out of their holes came the rats,
until no less than fourteen of them
answered TO the call. They climbed
upon her lap and up her shoulders,
and crawled about over her head,
suffering her TO carcss and handfe
them rs she pleased, and not one OF
them manifested the smallest symp-
ebm of aiarm.n These were her only
companions, tho unhappy woman
taking an interest in but little else.

Ballard was captured at q tavern

bascly hoping to save himself, sent
warnings to Walsineham that Sc

days they were discovered. Itch
bourne was arrested IN London; Abb
ington in haystaci. in Worcester

conspirators but two, who escaped
to France, placed OH their trial.
The scene at Westminster was
curious and pathetic. The youth
and high breeding. the romantic
friendship and blind zeal which dis
tinguished the misguided brother
hood, excited pity even in those
who could not spare. "Oh, Ballard,
Ballard" exclaimed the Judge" ,"what
hast thou done! A sort of brave
youths, otherwise endowed with
good gifts, by thy inducement hast
thou brought to their utter dcstruc-
tion and confusion" Nearly all con-
fessed their guilt; but showed that
fanatic religion, misplaced loyalty,
and personal attachment, had in
their own minds turned vice to vir-
tue. Some pleaded for relatives and
dependents; others asked that their
debts might be paid; but none save

were sentenced to death with the
judicial barbarity of those days. DIR.
Lingard says the sentence was car.

preference to Tyburn. Each sufferer
was allowed to address the throng

The Altitude Mt which, Men can

From Chambers Journal.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion as to the altitude at which
human beings can exist, and Mr..
GIaisher himself can tell us as much
about it rs anybody. In July, 1872,
he and Mr.. CoXweil ascehdcd III a
balloon to the enormous elevation OF
81 600 feet. Previous to the start Mr..
Glaisher's pulse stood at scventy-six
beats minute ;CoXwell's at seventy
four. AT 1000 foot, the pulse of the
former was cighty-fOur that of the
latter at 100. At II, 900 feet Glaislicr's
hands and lips were quite blue, but
not his face. At q 900 feet heard his
heart beating, and his breathing be-
came oppressed at PC, 600, he became
senseless; Notwithstanding whicl,
the Hronuut, in the interest ofsclence
went up another 5000 feet, till he
had to pull the strings of the valve
with his teeth. -Eronauts who have
to make no eXcrtions have. of course,
n great advantage over members OF
the Alpine Club, and those who trust
their legs; even at $4,000 feet these
climbers feel very uncomfortable,
more so in the Alps, 1t seems, than
elsewhere. AT the monastery of ST.
