ROLLED TO DEATH.-A parallel to the
terrible accident which Happened at St.
Louis the other day-when a man was
dragged through the rolls of mill, is
given by the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1t
occurred in a rolling mill in West Pitts
burg. A boy named James Welsh, was
employed as helper on the heavy rolls
used for pressing the iron into fiat bars.
His turn was up at three o'clock and he
was preparing to go home. 1t was his
duty, however, before he left to uncouple
the roll, lard being in hurry, he attempt
ed to do so before the engine was stop
ped. His pants were caught in the ma
chinery, and in an instant he was drawn
through the rolls feet foremost and flung
out on the opposite side, a lifeless mass
of flesh and bones, crushed almost fiat
The space through which his body pas
sed was only five inches, and it can be
easily imagined how fearfully crushed
and mangled it must have been. The
skull was broken like an egg shell, and
the brains scattered about the floor. De.
ceased was eleven years of age, good
industrious boy, and the only son of his
parents. His father worked in the same
mill, and it might almost be said tha
the lad was killed before his eyes.

PARTON IS RIGHT.-Even Mr.. James

A JUST CRITICISM.

A prominent Vermont teacher has pub
lished the.following just criticism on one
of the text books adopted by the Board
ofsEducation in this State:
IT cannot conceive how six sensible
men could be persuaded to adept series
of books comparing so poorly with other
books of the same grade. Unjust be the
arithmetics were adopted on the recon-
mendation of the imported secretary and
book agents. for it cannot be that the
members of the Board are so devoid OF
sense that, after careful examination,
they would adopt d book so inferior to
those now in use, and SO numbered up
with rule upon rule for almost the same
thing, and with so abstruse and misty
explanations that they confuse the pu-
pill and he fails to get clear conception
of anything.
After giving several instances Of glar-
ing errors in the book, the writer con-
tinues
These errors might be enumerated ao
sn1fnitsma, for the book is full of errors
from beginning to end. and yet this is
the book that the Board of Education
recommend to be placed in. the hands Of
the children of Vermont to fit them fol
business in active life. Any person Of
common education, who is unbiased by
the power that turks behind the throne
will easily see by examination thai
French's arithmetics are very much in
ferior to the Practical now in use in the
State. and we do not wonder that 81
many of the prominent teachers in the
State have expressed their determine
ton not to use them
We think the Secretary of the Boart
has set bad example by introducing
his arithmetics into the schools of tn
State contrary to law, whenever he coul'
find any one that he could induce to tr,
them, and we shall expect to see the lay
regulating the use of school books i
Vermont disregarded by most teacher
for the next five years.-Aryus.

In A CHIMNEY. - Mr.. Turner, OF
England, will not amuso his children
next Christmas with stories of Santa
Claus; because he is disgustod with
that fabulous person. Last Christ
mas he determined to surprise the
little ones by descending the chimney
and playing Santa Claus for their ben
eft. SO he dressed himself in fur
overcoat, loaded up with toys, went
out on the roof and jumped into the
Hue. When he was about halfway
down he stuck, and could 90 neither
one way nor the other. Then he be.
gan to yell for help, Mrs. Turner's
brother, who lived in the house, thought
II was burglar, and he fred both the
barrels Of his gun up the chimney at
him. And then Turner felt moro dis
satisfied than at first. The neighbors
thought from tho excitement that the
chimney must DO on FIRE, and in ten
minutes the fire department was out,
and sixteen half.inch streams were
pouring down tho auo on Turner
Then he wanted to get out worse than
ever. At last, when the truth was
known, they tried to lift him out with
rope, but without avail; and eventu.
ally they were compelled to unbuild
half Of the upper part of the house 10
release him. II cost him one hundred
pounds for repairs and wear and tear
Of body and mind. And now he don't
care whether Christmas ever comes or
not. .i..

But Ten Years.

II is said 10 be o very long lane that
has no turn in it. The Cincinuati
Enquirer calls to mind bit Of histo.
ry which becomes interesting OF this
time as showing that "the whirligig
of time brings in his revenges." In
1868, tho Hon. Alex. Long, who then
represented the Cincinnati district,
made speech in Congress against
the further prosecution Of the war
1t was dignified effort, and reflected
personally upon no one, but it was an
anti-war speech. Mr.. Speaker Colfax
thought proper to descend from his
chair aud offer resolution for the ex-
pulsion OF Mr.. Long. 1t was sup
ported by Mr.. Garfield In an elabor:
ate speech, and only failed for want Of
the requisite two-thirds vote. Ten
years have passed and now Colfax
and Garfield are in the same condi-
tion as Mr.. Long. Propositions for
their expulsion and impeachment are
pending, with this difference and it is
a big one, that 10 Mr.. Longs case it
only referred to an expression of
opinion, while in their cases it goes
directly to moral corruption and Grim
inal villainy. "And thus the whirli.
gig Of time brings in his revenges."

Nothing is truly Californian unless
it is truly big. The latest "big thing"
is the enterprise Of converting Guada-
lupc Island, lying Of the coast Of Lower
California, into one Angora goat ranch.
The island has an area Of Ice, 400 acres,
and is the property of an incorporated
company. II is mountainous, we'll
watered, and at present tenanted by
an immense flock of wild goats, en-
bracing, it is estimated, 100000 head,
the descendants Of some goats placed
on the island by the Jesuit Fathers
sixty or seventy years ago. OF late
years some $4,000 head have boon
killed for their skins and tallow. 1t
is for the improvement of these goats
Ito make them fleece -beariug--that
the Guadalupe Island Company has
been organized. This is proposed to be
done by q judicious crossing with the
fine heeced Angora goat. The fret
instalment Of Angora bucks, fifty in
number, has arrived at San Diego and
is perhaps already on tho island
Four of these bucks are imported ami
mails, valued at $3.50 each. The re-
mainder are valued at 500 per head.

Where they Meet.

Between tho 43d and 47th degrees
Of north latitude, in the neighborhood
Of the Bank Of Newfoundland, the
Gulf Stream, coming from the south
west, meets on tho surface Of the sea
the polar current discovered BY Cabot
In the year l497. The linc Of demRtk-
alton between these two oceanic riv-
ers Is never absolutely constant, but

Gulf Stream toward the south, for dur
ing this season sll tho circulatory
phenomena Of the Atlantic, winds,

berthe Gulf Stream in its turn re.

land, that enormous plateau surround.
ed on all sides by abysses FIVE or six
miles deep, is undoubtedly due in great
part to the meeting of these two moy-
ing liquid masses. On entering tho
tepid waters of tho Gulf Stream, the
icebergs gradually melt and lot fall the
fragments Of rock and loads of earth
which they bear ito the sea. This
bank, which rises gradually from the
bottom of the ocean, is sort Of CON-
mon moraine for the glaciers Of Green
land and the polar archipelago.

A BEAurlrrL EXPERIMENT ON sousp.

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT ON SOUND.
The following beautiful experiment
described by Prof. Tyndall, shows
how music may be transmitted by IN
ordinary wooden rod. In room two
floors beneath his lecture room there
was piano upon which an artist was
playing, but the audience could not
hear it. A rod Of deal, with it's lower
end resting upon the sounding. board
of the piano, extended upward through
the two floors, its upper end being ex-
posed before the lecture table. But.
still no sound was heard. A violin.
was then placed upon tho end of the
rod, which was thrown into resonance
by tho ascending thrills, and instantly
the music of the piano was given out
in the lecture room. A guitar and
harp were substituted for the violin,
and with the same result. The vibra-
tions Of the piano strings were com.
municatcd to the sounding. board they
traverscd the long rod, were repro
duced by the resonant bodies above,
tho air was carved into waves, and
the whole musical composition was
delivered to the listening audiences

was turned toward Missionary Ridge.
David's regiment charged up the ridge,

found solitary chicken in a wcll.p

chicken and the chips flying from the
coop as bullet after bullet struck it,
with the greatest interest, and leaving

After the battle, he dressed and cooked
his chicken, and made from tho meal
some most astonishing corn dodgers.

he felt little sorry for Bragg who, in
addition to his defeat had lost his
