Removing the ,lnnl.

Colonel S. j. Ward, president Of the
Board OF Trade, has telegraphed to Major
Z. w. Howell. of the United States epgi-
neer corps, New Orleans. notifying him
that jam has formed in the raft at Kouns'
canal, completely suspending navigation,
which could be removed at nominal ex-
pense, and asking that Captain Tennyson
be instructed to remove the same.
Major Howell replied that he had no money
with which to work On the raft, but will
recommence so soon as o new appropriation
is made. He suggests, however. that the
Board Of Trade furnish Captain Tennysoo
means for breaking the jam. He also mott,
fed the captain to consult with the Board
of Trade, and to do the work if the expense
is paid by the board.
Captain Tennyson informed the board
that the working expenses Of the govern
ment boat Aid would be about S23 per day,
and $50 has been raised by private sub
scription, which, it is supposed, viii % %
ample for the purpose, and the Aid WIN

9here is sort Of dSlirious Joy in
looking over the family album, es.
pecially if it is very old album,
with sprained back, which occa-
sionally and unexpectedly drops
through your fingers, leaving a cou-
pie OF cousins in one hand and three
aunts in the other, and the balance
Of the family under the chair. The
first picture is of an old gentleman,
with an expression of wary eau.
tiousness in his face, as if he was
engaged in dodging a wild bull, and
was somewhat doubtful Of the re-
suit. Opposite him is the grand
mother, patient-locking lady in a
black dress, with book in one
hand and pair ofspectaclcs in the
other. There is feeble but we'll
meaning effort to look safe in her
face. On the next leaf is a middle
aged man, looking as if he had sud
denly been shot through the roof of
starch factory, and had landed in
the middle of a strange country.
Opposite is the picture of his wife,
who, having heard rumor OF the
catastrophe, has made up her mind
to prepare for the worst Then fol
low the children-little girls look
ing so prim as to make you squirm,
and little boys with their eyes turn
ed on their noses, and with an ex-
preston on their faces of unearthly
solemnity. Then follow uncles, Ia
ken in their overcoats, with a
spreading inclination in their
clothes, hair and face, as if they
were bound to get their moneys
worth; and aunts with warts on
their noses, and varnish in their
hair, and preposterous lace collars
about the necks. Then there is the
bashful young man penned opposite
an aggressive young lady, whom
heaven and some married women
have designed for each other.
There are also the pictures of Cou-
sin Aleck and his young wife, who
stopped here when on their tour,
and no young man looks at him
without retiring at once and regis
tering terrible vow never to get
married. Besides these is the pic
ture of the man who lived next door
for eight years, at the end Of which
time his wife died, and he moved
to Illinois with his children, and is
now worth some $5O,OOO. He has
been photographed in his hat, which
is one size too large for him, and
gives him an appearance Of having
murdered his aunt and concealed
the body. Then there are two or
three fine looking corsairs Of no par
ticular identity, and several pictures
of broken spirited women with ba-
bics in their arms-dircctly or indi-
rectly related to the owners of the
album-and the exhibition closes.

MATILDA FLETCHER purposes to
establish an industrial exposition
with every ward and district school
in the country, before the Centenni-
al, provided she can obtain, what
she should have, the hearty appro-
val and co operation of teachers and
school officers. Her plan is to set
apart one day per week in which
each pupil shall be required to bring
to the school.room some useful arti-
Gle, made by his or her own hands,
to be exhibited and explained, un-
der the supervision of the teacher,
IN the presence of the parents and
friends. These articles to consist
OF specimens of cooking and sewing
Of all kinds, or anything else COM
mon to household work; iron and
wood work Of all kinds, from plain
box or horse shoe to steam engine
or house in miniature, with all other
useful things known to the children,
or that may be invented by them.
Also farm and garden products, in
their season, with explanations of
process of culture, kind, value, etc.
General Eaton, Uuited States Com
missioner Of Education, and many
other eminent educators, cordially
approve her ideas, and certainly she
sustains them with many and perti-

A circumstance occurred lately
in the Circuit Court Of Mclean
county, which shows the progress
that has been made within the past
few years. The Deputy Clerk of
the Court Department was called
away from his duties to attend the
funeral Of a sick child, and Miss
Belle Murray, Deputy Of the Re-
cording Department, was called up
on TO preside as Clerk Of the Court;
and to say that the position lost
nothing in dignity, grace or cor
rectness in the discharge Of the du-
ties is detracting nothing from the
merit of tho regular Clerk. Who
would have thought, ten years ago,
that in the year Of, our Lord, 1878,
lady would, without challenge
and without question, be recog-
nized as Clerk of a Circuit Court,
and in that capacity issue legal doc.
uments and perform legal functions.
Yet such is the case. But this Is
not the only evidence Of progress
furnished by this circumstance.
One of the first duties devolving
upon Miss Murray was to issue a
jurors certificate to a negro juror.
Only think Of it! A lady as clerk
of it! A lady as clerk Of court
issuing jurors certificate to a
darkey! We venture that such a
thing has not before happened in
this country within the past decade.
And truly that change has been
wonderful. 1t is but few years
since that the colored man was out
Iawed by the laws Of Illinois, and
woman was, in legal sense, non
entity. Now the colored man is
clothed with all the rights and dig
nifty Of free citizen, and woman
has already travelled more than half
the distance to the same proud en-
inence. Truly, the world does
move, and Mclean county leads
the van. Here it was that the Re.
publican party Of the nation was
born, and here it is that woman re-
ceives the recognition to which she
is entitled by her talents.-Bloom.

From Washington Cor. Boston Journal.
The fuss the papers make over
the carriages and outfits of the
President, i'll prepares one for the
quite ordinary stud Gen. Grant
keeps for his own use and tat of
his own family. The old stable of
Buchanan's time is now partly
conservatory and partly woodsLed.
Nearly quarter of a mile away, on
the new and yet uncultivated part
of the public grounds-outside of
the presidential garden-stands a
low, brick cditice, somewhat castel-
lated, and this is the presidential
stable. A coach of modern style.
trimmed wholly in black, except the
handles, with no ornament Of any
kind except "U.S.G." on the panels,
is the state and family carriage of
the hiefMagistrate. 1t would not
be fashionable coach for a New
York snob. 1t would need but lit
tie change to turn it into first class
mourning carriage. A small, light
driving wagon is the favorite for
the President when he drives him.
self. To this is hitched a small
black mare of marvellous speed, that
came from the state Of Maine. The
carriage horses are beauties. One
OF these is over sixteen hands high.
He was picked up in a hack in this
CITY, where he attracted no atten-
.tion. He cost but $4OO. He could
not now be purchased at any price.
A fine sum would be paid for mate.
A pair Of black ponies of great
speed and grit, driven to a low bas-
ket wagon, with a rumble behind,
is the fayorite team of Nellie Grant.
The horse OF mark in the stable is
Cincinatus, the old war horse of
the President. This animal is a
deep mahogany bay, slender and of
wonderful symmetry. His life work
is done. He is eighteen, a cripple,
and will live in clover to the end of
his days. A four-year-old colt of
great size and speed completes the
horse outfit of Gen. Grant.

Mention was made recently of q
gentleman in . very feeble state of
health, who had been for some time
at the Butchers Abattoir, in Brigh-
ton, for medical treatment, simply
drinking half tumbler fallof warm
blood twice a day. This course the
gentleman, Mr.. c. H. Stickney, who
IS willing that his namc shall ap-
pear, has followed, until . week
ago, having been there ton weeks,
and during that time gained ten
pounds in weight, and, to- .ase9 his
own words, "My appetite is good.
I sleep well, aud feel like . new
man, and am soon to commence
business again IN Boston" He also
says there are ten or twelve others
there, drinking the blood, oil OF
whom are gaining under this treat
ment. One gentleman from Boston,
q consumptive, no feeble that it was
with difficulty he could get to this
abattoir, is now able to handle an
AZ skilfally enough to sknock down
q bullock" A lady from the city,
who has been sick six years, strick-
en- with paralysis, is improving
wonderfully BY this "blood cure. /"
A gratifying feature Of this cure is
that it is "witheut money and with.
ont price," and M. Stickney speaks
10 praise Of the gentleman in charge
Of THE ablishment, and strangers
visiting the place win Rnd courte
ous treatment.

A Curious Lake.

A New England exchange relates
the following: "a body of water
said to cover an area oftwo acres OF
more, has just been discovered on
the top of one of the mountains in
Glastonbury. Some Of the oldest in
habitants say that many years ago
it was known l. be there, and was
so called the '1.ost Pond and that
one day Stephen Pratt, then of Ben
nington, VT, and two other gentle.
men were roaming about in the
then seemingly interminable for
rests, trapping. Happening to have
hooks and lines in their pockets
they determined to see if there
wasn't some trout in the small
brook which they came across. AT
ter getting everything in readiness
they threw their hooks into the lit
tie brook, and, to their amazement
as they afterwards expressed i,
themselves, 'it was filled with trout!
They tished along up the stream a
few rods, and, to ther utter aston.
ishment, came to the pond above
mentioned. There they said the
trout took hold too fast for sport!
They caught more than they could
bring home through the woods, and
were consequently obliged to leave
some, but with a determination that
they would visit the pond the next
day. After long march they final
ly reached the road to town, where
they had left their team, but greatly
fatigued. They travelled all the
next day, but could not find the
pond, and it has not been discover
ed until now"

A Burglar Caught by q skeleton

A burglar in Greensburg, Pa,
was recently caught in a remarka-
BILE manner. Breaking into the
closed Office of physician Of that
town, the burglar opened q closet,
(while his companion with a dark
lantern was in another par, of the
room), and, feeling tor clothing at
about the height Of closet-hooks
generally, got his hand between the
jaws of q skeleton, which, being ad-
justed with a coil spring and kept
open with thread, closed sudden
ly on the lntruding hand by the
breaking of the thread. A sudden
thought striking the burglar of his
being caught by skeleton in the
DOCTORS closet 50 terrified him that
he uttered a faint shrek, and when
his companion turned his lantern
towards him and he beheld himself
in the grim and chastity jaws OF
Death himself, he became so over.
powered by fear that he tainted, fell
insensible to the floor, pulling the
skeleton down upon him, and max.
ing SO much noise that his compan-
ion fled immediately, and the doc
tor, alarmed at the noise and confu.
sion, hastened into the Office and Sc.
cured the terror-stricken burglar
still held by the skeleton.

THE Philadelphia College of Ply
sicians, in order to secure the bod
les of the Siamese twins for an au-
topsy, we're bound by a stringent
contract, for the violation OF which,
even in the slightest particular, Sc
we're penalties are attached. The
examination is permitted to be con-
Quoted only SO far as to settle sci
entific mysteries, all unnecessary
mutilation of the corpses being
strictly forbidden. The document
states that no photographs or cuts
of the bodies, when under autopsy,
shall be given to the world. In
case any photographs of the parts
examined are taken the negatives
are to become the property Of Mad
ames Chang and Eng, and all money
reverting from the sale of the same
shall be their own. The connecting
band or ligament uniting the bodies
is not to be cut in front, all incisions
being required to be made in the
rear, so as not to interfere with the
appearance of the bodies. The
dissection must be so done as sub.
sequcntly to cover all evidence of
the work of the knife. The contract
is one Of difficult performance, and
its provisions can hardly be adhered
to. 1t is probable that the physi-
clans, once having the bodies in
their possession, will not stop until
the most thorough dissection is
made, Notwithstanding the contract.
The wives Of the dead curiositics
seem to be actuated by mercenary
motives, and their desire that the
bodies should show no evidence of
an autopsy is probably prompted
by an intention to use the corpses
hereafter for their own pecuniary
emolument. 1t is not easy to tell
how far the decomposition which
has already set in will proceed, but
in any event, even if successfully
embalnled, the exhibition of the re-
mains Of the twins would be dis
gusting.

Miss Smith ends her letter, in which
these facts are stated, by saying:
"As the town now manages our
property, we must soon be forced to
the poor-hOuse, and none are better
acquainted with its inmates"
This story has excited much at.
tention In New England. The Bos-
ton Adcertiser reminds the authori-
ties OF Glastonbury that their con.
duct will be carefully watched. The
Providence Journal advises every
paper that comments spsa the sub
Ject tesaeed . marked copy TO the
ofheess Of the town. And the
Springfield Republican says that
such . protest is worth q great many
conventions and documents. The
common reply will be, Let the fool
ish women pay their taxes, and then
they ssn milk their COWS in peace.
DR.. osn Johnsoa said the same
thiag to Sam Adams, in . little PAM
phlet called tGx0ti0n no tvyMnny.
But Sam Adams wss ret converted, ,
and Mr.. Winthrop and Mr.. Quincy
and all the rest of us applaud them
for resisting the collector, and un-
dertaking long, doubtful and vast
ing war rather than submit to pay
taxes upon their property which
they had had no voice in levying
But if Sam Adams and George
Washington would not submit to
this kind of taxation a hundred
years ago, why should Miss Abby
Smith and her sister submit now?
If it was tyranny then, is it less tyr.
amy now? If the Misses Smith
are competent to own property in
fee, and to manage it at their pleas
ure, can they be logically consider.
ed incompetent to express an opin.
ion upon the taxes which may be
laid upon it? Does taxation with
out representation cease to be tyr
amy, and become justice, when the
taxed property-owner is woman?
This IS the question to which good
natu"ed laugh at Miss Anthony does
not seem to be an entirely satistac.
