Teaching a Stove to Talk
Chinese.

The Pail Mall Gazette tells story,
apropos of the appointment of M. De
Saint Denys to the post of Sorbone
Professor of Chinese, of what happen
ed to his predecessor in that learned
chair-Mr. Stanislas Julien. When
M. Julien was nominated to the post,
his lectures were given on Thursday
and Saturday of each week, but for
the first month his audiences consisted
solely of the stove, which could scarce
ly be expected to derive much benefit
from a lecture on language. One
day, greatly to his surprise, large
party Of fashionably dressed ladies
and gentlemen put in an appearance,
and NJ. Julien, out of gallantry to-
ward the former, began his lecture by
translating sonnet by the Chinese
poet Li.o-Tsing, in which woman is
compared to "the lotus Of the Yellow
River" The audience appeared to
follow the lecturer with deep inter-
est. and M. Julien began to think that
his office would be no sinecure. There
was a large attendance the following
week, and among the company the
lecturer noticed one gentleman who
had been present on the previous
occasion, and whom he set down as
an enthusiastic admlrer Of the Chi
nese language. This gentleman con-
tinued to attend a whole course of the
lectures, accompanied on each occasion
by fresh party, and it was only six
months afterward that M. Julien
discovered that he was guide who
showed Foreigners the sights of Paris,
one of the most remarkable of which
he considered to be professor teach
ing a stove to talk Chinese.

Balky Horses.

Baking is serious defect in a very
useful animal, and it cannot be over
come by whipping or swearingat him.
His brain does not seem capable OF
entertaining but one thought at a
time, and the stubborn resolve not to
move seems to be uppermost in it.
Therefore you must endeavor to give
him new subject of thought, and
thereby change the direction Of his
brain.
The simple trick Of putting small
quantity of earth or gravel, taken from
the road side, upon his tongue, will
suffice to turn his attention to the new
kind OF fodder offered to him. Now
cluck to him, but don't strike him,
and almost before he is aware Of it he
is walking along, and soon trots as
fast as is needful. This is a remedy
much in use on the western plains,
where teaming is employed to perform
vast amount of labor, and balky
horses are quite a common trouble. l
have seen it work to perfection on the
plains of Colorado, when whipping
and profanity were utterly Intellectual !;
a very small quantity of earth and fine
gravel made its mark directly. Kind
ness will always produce great effect
upon horses, and every driver should
learn that pleasant words and tones
are much greater use in making his
horses obedient than the whip.lash,
mingled with harsh oaths and ear
splittingtones.-S. 0. j.

BY some error the resolutions on
the death of Hosea Vaughan, unani-
mously adopted by the Woodstock
Grange, at the meeting on the Sd inst.
were not printed entire in our issue of
the 9th. Therefore, we re-publish
below, complete -
Whereas: 1t hath pleased our kind
Heavenly Father to remove from the active
duties Of earth to his reward our beloved
brother, Hosea Vaughan; therefore
ReSOlUed: That in the sudden death Of
our Worthy Treasurer and much beloved
brother and citizen, we feel that heavy
stroke has fallen upon our grange, Of which
he was an active member, a faithful labor
or, and safe counsellor, as also pleasant
associate and devoted christian.
Resolved. That in manifestation of our
deep sorrow we drape the chair and table
occupied by our worthy brother and put
on our badge of mourning for three sue
cessive meetings of the grange.
Resolved That while we bow in humble
submission and with the most profound
reverence to the mandate of our kind Fa-
Their we have sweet reflection that bright
example has ever been set before us in the
life of our much esteemed brother, by
ready hand and willing heart to relieve
the suffering, and needful wants of those
anound him. Let us follow his example and
emulate his virtues.
RESOLVED: That we extend to the family
of the deceased Brother our deepest
and coincidence and with them
mingle our tears in this their sudden |
bereavement and great affliction and |
while they are overburdened with sor-
row and anguish we feel there is voice
speaking to them within "Be still and
know that am God"

tered upon the records of the grange also
that copy Of the same be presented to
the family ofthe deceased Brother and also
a copy to each Of the editors of the three
weekly journals published at the village
Of Woodstock with the request to publish

If L Could Keep Her So,

BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.
Just little baby, lying in my arms
Would that I could keep you, with your baby
charms
Helpless, clinging fingers, downy, golden hair,
Where the sunshine fingers, caught from other
where;
Blue eyes asking questions, lips, that cannot
speak,
Rolly-poly shoulders, dimple in your cheek,
Dainty little blossom in world of woe,
Thus fain would keep you, for love you 80.
Roguish little damsel scarcely six years old
Feet that never tire, hair Of deeper gold;
Restless, busy fingers, all the time at play;
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day ;
Blue eyes learning wonders Of the world about,
Here you come to toll them-what IN eager
shout
Winsome little damsel, all the neighbors know;
Thus long to keep you for l love you 80.
Sober little schoolgirl, with your strap of books
And such grave importance in your troubled
looks;
Solving weary problems, porting over sums,
Yet with tooth for sponge-cake and for sugar.
plums;
Reading books of romance in your bed at night
Waking up to study with the morning light;
Anxious as to ribbons, def to tie bow
Full of contradictions-I would keep you 30.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden, sitting by my
side,
All the world before you and the world is
wide
Hearts there are for winning, hearts that are
to break,
Has your own, fair maiden, just began to
wake;
Is that rose of dawning glowing on your cheek
Telling us in bushes what you would not
speak,
Shy and tender maiden, l would fain forego
All the golden future, just to keep you so.
All! the listening angels saw that she was
fair,
Ripe Tor rare unfolding in the upper air.
Now the rose of dawning turns to lilly whlte'
And the close-shut eyelids veil the eyes from
sight;
All the past 1 summon as kiss her brow
Babe, and child, and maiden, all are with me
now.
OH my heart is breaking; but Gods love
know
Safe among the angels, He will keep her SO.

The mass of the credulous negroes
of the South who deposited the first
earnings Of their freedom with the
Freedman's Savings Bank as yet mani
fest but little concern in consequence
of the disaster which has overtaken
that institution. They were led to
believe that they were lending their
money to the Government: and al
though they do not understand why
they cannot get it back again, they
are willing to believe that it is quite
safe where it is, and that the faith
of the United States is pledged for
the ultimate payment of their de-
posts, with interest. When they
come to learn the truth, and fully
realize how they have been treated,
deep Indignation will be excited a.
mong the deluded people who have
suffered from the shameful proceed
ings ofthose who have had the con-
troll Of this insolvent concern. The
failure of the Freedman's Saving Bank
is one of the most lamentable effects
Of the lawless operations of the Dis.
trict of Columbia Ring. In the fall
of 1871 HENRY D. Cooke, VIM. S.
HUNTINGTON, and LEWIS CLEPuANE
composed the Finance Committee of
the Freedman's Bank, and controlled
its loans. These were three of the
most prominent men in the District
Ring. Cooke was the first Governor
under the absurd Territorial Govern
ment which was put in operation in
order to facilitate an enormous real
estate speculation which has since
been carried on at the expense of the
property holders in Washington, the
taxpayers Of the whole country, and
the poor freedmen of the South
Cooke held Office until just before his
bankruptcy was announced, when
Boss SHEPHERD was appointed his
successor. When Cooke and HUNTING
TON retired from the bank Moses
KELLY, one of the seven persons man,
ed by HALLErr K1LBoURNE as consiti-
tuting Ring formed to control pave
ment contracts, and Gen. BALLoCH,
of Streets under the
Board of Public Works, took their
places, Of course the members of the
great Ring, which included several
lesser ones, had exceptional favors
extended to them, and the large loans
from the poor negroes savings were
made upon securities, the value of
which is yet to be ascertained. From
Nov. 9, 1872, to Sept. ID, 1873, one
contractor alone obtained loans
to over $4,000 upon
District securities. 1t is represented
by those who have been connected
with the management of the bank that
the ultimate loss to depositors will
not be large, but it is feared that these
representations cannot be depended |
upon. 1t will be very hard upon the
confding negroes who have intrusted
their all to this institution if it should |
finally, appear that they have been
robbed ofthe greater portion of their
earnings for the benefit Of a Ring
which, since the Congressional investi-
CATION, can find no apologists in the
whole country, save handful of Sen
ators, the President of the United
States, and dozen or so of insigni6-
cant newspapers.-M Y. San.
