HoLLASD.-A map Of the province of
north Holland, made three hundred years
ago, shows bare network OF marshy land,
protected from the North sea by range of
sand hills, and inclosing within its mesh
e. vast bodies OF navigable water-the
mere outline of a country entirely unprom-
Using for habitation and afflicted with a
most rigorous climate. This whole prov
ince is now Il smiling fertile land, busy
with every form of industry, and one of
the centres Of the worlds prosperous ac-
tivity. In few years, when work now in
hand shall be completed, there will remain
no water within its wide boundaries, save in
the embarked canals, where high above the
level of the fields, the lifted waters flow in
TO the sea and afford channels for the vast
commerce of the country. Arrangements
are already being made for the drainage of
the Zuyder Zee, a work which will cost
over $50, 900, 900 and which will take twelve
years for its preparation alone. When the
enormous dyke shall have been built and
new channels shall have been made for the
rivers which flow into it, it will take the
sixty-three enormous steam engines sever
al years working night and day. TO pump
out its water, which has an area of $4,000
acres and an average depth of about ten
feet. \ survey has been made of its whole
bottom, and the plan of improvement in
cludes the division of the land and the con-
struction of the canals (for drainage and
for communication which are to serve the
future generations who are to inhabit it.

THE SIAMEsE TwINs.-Concerning
"Chang and Eng" The Slamese twins,
Salem IN. c. correspondent says: "They
are settled forty miles west OF here, and
have been for a number OF years in Surry
county, near Mount Airy. They each have
very good farm, adjoining each other, and
both have families. They stay alternately
two weeks at each others farm. Both have
children, who have a fine education, and
one daughter, who had some literary aspir-
ations, died some two or three years ago.
One of the twins had daughter recently
married. They have good residences and
out-buildings on their farms, and are con-
sdered good and successful farmers here,
and very good and kind neghbors. Being
in their neghborhood, 1 went 10 see them
at the residence OF Mr.. Eng Bunker, and
found the brothers there, and was treated
very Hospitality by them and the family.
They have, it is thought, great deal OF
money employed in mercantile pursuits in
the little village of Mount Airy, Surry
county, N. c., and much more, the bulk
of their estate, in New York city,"

John was intensely mortified. II sup

next day he told Jim Gates about 1t. Jim

Johns next rebuff and knowledge of the
world was of another sort. He was again

The Western lumbermen propose to call
a convention for the purpose of seeing what
measures can be taken for the protection
and preservation OF the lumber forests Of
the Northwest. An authority in the mat
ter gives the total pine resources of North
America as 24s, ,44O, 900, 900 feet, and states,
furthermore, that the pine crop % st of the
Rocky Mountains will be used up in five
years. This estimate-the latter part of it
at least-is unquestionably exaggerated, but
then there is no doubt that unless some
measures are taken for the renewal of our
forests, or their preservation, we shall have
lumber famine in the country in less than
a score of years. The lumDermen are not
looking after the matter any too soon. In
Iowa, the railroads have offered to carry
trees for transplanting free OF cost, and
some other State corporations have been
nearly as generous. There is now bill
before Congress providing that any person
who shall plant, protect and keep in good
condition for eight years forty acres of tim
ber on any quarter section of public land
shall he entitled TO a patent of them Mt the
| end of that time.

THE SEA MoUsE.-The sea mouse is one
of the prettiest creatures that lives under
the waters. 1t sparkles like diamond and
is radiant with all the colors OF the rain
bow, although it lives in the mud at the
bottom of the ocean. 1t should not have
been called a mouse, for it is larger than
big rat. 1t is covered with scales that move
up and down as it breathes, and glitters like
gold shining through flocky down, from
which fine silky bristles wave that con-
stantly change from one brilliant tint into
another, so that, as Cuvier, the great natur
alist, says. the plumage of the humming
bird is not more beautiful. Sea mice are
sometimes thrown up on the beach by
storms.-Hedrth and Home.

EXIT THE BUFFALo.-Less than year
ago, we had occasion to chronicle and con-
denim the wanton destruction of the buffa-
10 prevalent along the Kansas Pacific rail-
road. The immoderatc and insane butch"
cry has been renewed, and has increased to
gigantic proportions. With an army OF
1000 men, armed with all the modern ap-
pliances for rapid Staying, in the field, some
of them pleading guilty to the slaughter of
1000 head, it is not at all surprising that
the carcasses of the bison have fallen in
the wilderness by millions, and that their
hides are only worth from 25 cents TO 81.
Horns, bones and meat being left to fertil-
ize the prairies, 25 cents is the commercial
value of the buffalo in lS74.-NeW York

WHY WOMEN SHOULD SERVE ON SCHooL
CoMM1TTEE.-T trouble is that intelli-
gent citizens, competent TO superintend tho
schools, are too competent to havo time for
that unpaid service. And theref re the un-
intelligent really determine the quality of
the instruction. Thus the standard of
scholarship is lowered, the country school
is too often taught by girls who take up
teaching as they take up chair-making or
raw-plaiting. The remedy, az we believe,
largely lies la the appointment of women
10 school offices. AS rule, In the country
districts at least, they have more leisure.
more culture, a more direct and personal
interest in children, and more administra-
tive faculty than the men who could afford
to take the positions. The peculiar apu-
tude for details and quick apprehension of
the relation of things would also stand
them in stead. Moreover, IL II became
their duty TO undertake this work, it would
also become their ambition TO do it in the
best possible manner. And there is hope
that not only the standard Of scholarship
would be advanced, but the morals Of the
pupils improved. Certainly, women of
culture and of leisure, who would set
themselves the hard task, might do much
to stay well-known influences of corrup-
tion, which poison our schools, from high
est TO lowest, were 1t only through insist
ing that the pupils should receive such
thorough physiological instruction as should
make them respect their bodies. In fact,
sanitary knowledge is the crying need of
the populace, to-day. Its elements, at least,
should be taught in the schools, and it is
women whose intelligent demand must
place it among the required studies-Ch,Ts-
tidn Union.

A NeW Poem by Bayard Tay IOr
Ny homo was seated high and fair,
Upon a mountains side;
Tn day was longest, brightest there;
beneath. the world was wide.
Across its blue, embracing zone
The rivers cleaned, the cities shonc
And over the edge Of the fading rim
saw the storms 10 the distance dim,
And the fash Of the soundlcss thunder.
Bat weary grew the sharp, cold vino
or winds that never kissed,
The changelcss green Of fir and pine,
The gray and ciinging mist.
Above the granite sprang no bowers.
The soil gave low and scentless flowers;
Aud the drone and din Of the waterfall
Became challenge, a tauntlnF call:
"'Tis fair, Ills fair in the valey!"
or all the homcsteads deep and far
My fancy chung to one,
WhoIe gable burned, a mellow star,
Touched by the sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not uugucssed
The orchards made leafy nest;
The turf before it wa thick, knew,
And bees were busy the garden through,
Aud the windows were dark with roscs.
"'Tis happier there below" l sighed;
Tho world IL warm and near,
And c'oscr love AID comfort hide,
That cannot reach me here.

Hen share with me his sheltered nest,

Leaving the granite, the pines and snow,
And the winds that are keen as lanccs."

PENALTY OF GALLASTRY.-A story is
told of a prominent politician which now
for the first time finds its way into type.
Some years ago this gentleman and Senator
Nj were in New York, and about TO em-
bark for Albany on the Drew. An old
German emigrant woman, loaded down
with baggage, happened TO reach the gang
plank at the same time. The noise and
confusion of the scene, as the boat was
about 10 start, bewildered her. Our politi-
cal friend, a gallant man, taking in the state
of affairs at a glance, Immediately relieved
her of the load, and requested Senator
NJ to give her his arm. The upper deck
was crowded with gay people many of
whom recognized the gentleman in question.
Mr.. P then marched them the whole
length of the boat, gracefully waving his
hand, and sxclaiming, "Clear the way!
Make room for the bridal party! y!"-Hdr-

.TEMPER.-A single person of sour,
sullen temper-what dreadful thing it is
to have such an one in a housel There is
not myrrh and aloes and chloride of lime
enough in the world to dsinfect single
home of such nuisance as that; no rich
es, no elegance of mien, no beauty of face,
can ever screen such persons from utter
vulgarity. There is one thing which rising
persons hate tho reputation of more than
all other, and that is vulgarlty but trust
me, ill-temper is the vulgarest thing that
the lowest born and illest bred can ever
bring to his home. 1t is one OF the worst
forms of impiety. Peevishness In home is

lead of Sir Edward Thornton, the present
Dean of the corps, proceeded TO the Blue
Parlor, where they were presented by the
Secretary OF State to the President. OF
course what followed is understood. Po-

scenes and incidents at the President,
Reception, Jan. I, 1874.

The scene in front of the White House
from II in the morning, when the official
calls began, until 2 in the afternoon, when
the "cili2ens" calls ended, was a very ami
mated one. The sun shone warm and
bright, as If for the especial benefit of the
promiscuous audience upon the broad,
stone sidewalks. At the gates, until l
o'clock, bue-coated policemen stood in ag-
gtega,ed dignity, admitting only those
privileged TO enter. The colored people
were out in full force, and ludicrous indeed
were their exclamatons of admiration at
the gay uniforms and dashng equipages
that passed through the main entrance.
From 1880 until o'clock in the afternoon
the people in The street enjoyed the gay
spectacle, and Thea the gates were opened
wide, and the suvercigus came in, sweep
ing all before them. Inside the Executive
Mansion white, loose!y-woven canvas,
spread over the carpets, soon became a
dingy thoroughfare. door opening on
the East Plrlor offered opportunity for the
crowd TO escape alcr they had passed
through the Blue Parlor where the recep-
ton was held. Meanwhile the red coated
members of the Marine Band, safely en-.
scOncGd in one of the ante-roOms, were
blowing their faces into hues more san
gune than their coats in their attempt to
enliven the callers, who had become de-
pressed by the formidable undertaking of
| paying their respects to the Chief Magis-
trate the nation.
THE RECEPTION OF THE DIPLOMATS.
Promptly at IL o'clock came Admiral
Polo the Spanish Minister being the first
to arrive. He left his carriage and pro-
ceeded quietly to the Red Paror. He was
attired in gorgeous state dress weighed
| down with gold bullion, ribbons, crosses,
and stars. His face is a very pleasant one,
smooth and benevolent, well set off by
| light iron-gray whskers. In appearance
he might easily be taken for an English or
American naval officer. He was accom-
panied by his son, Mr.. Luis Polo, and First
Secretary of Legation, Mr.. Potestad, who
yielded nothing to his chief in richness OF
dress. Then came Sir Edward Thornton
the English Minister, another mass o
moving gold lace and bullion, accompanied
| by Lady Thornton and the Misses Thorn
ton. Baron Charles Lederer, Minister
from Austria, came next attired in the
diplomatic full dress, and accompanied by
his Secretary of Legation, Mr.. Hengel
muller, who was dressed in a costume tina
would enable him to make his fortune OIL
any stage. This costume is the Hungarian
full dress. lie was an object of wonder t.
the gaze OF everybody. The new Turkisl
Minister, Austarchi Bey, successor o
Blacque Bey, wore the usual diplomats
dress with the difference of mounting up
on his head the Turkish fez, while strap
ped TO his side was the scimetar of the faith
ful. The Russian Minister came up smil
ing and benevolent. The Marquis d
Noailles, the FIench Minister, accom-
panied by his charming wife, was there
All the diplomats appeared in state dress
with the exception Of Mr.. Manscal, tn
