CARE FOR DAUGHTERS.

Would you show yourself really good to
your daughters Then be generous to
the N in truer sense than that of heaping
trinkets on their pecks. Train them for in
dependence first, and then labor to give it to
them. Let them as soon as ever they are
grown up, have some tide money, or means
of making money to be their own, and teach
them how to deal with it without needing,
every moment, somebody to help them.
Calculate what you give them, or will be-
queath to them, not, as is usually done, on
the chances of their making a rich marriage,
but on the probability of their remaining
single, and according to the scale of living
to which you have accustomed them. Sup
press their luxuries now, if need be, but do
not leave them with scarcely bare necessa-
ries hereafter, in striking contrast to their
present home. Above all, help them to help
themselves. Fit them to be able to add to
their own means, rather than to be forever
pinching and economizng till their minds are
narrowed and their hearts are sick. Give
them all the culture you can to every power
which they may possess. If they should
marry after all, they will be the happier and
better for it. If they should remain among
the millions Of the unmarried, they will
bless you, in your grave, and say Of you,
what cannot be said of many doting par
ent by his surviving child: "My father
cared that should be happy after his death
as well as while was bis pet and his toy"

VALEDICTORY.

One more pulsation Of time has thrown
us forward through another term of study
and advancement, and we now stand in the
presence of that hour which is TO disband
our classes, some, perhaps, forever. The pa
tieut toll and watchful care of our teacher is
now to b- laid aside as burden of the past,
the very thought of which is pleasure to
some of us, and perhaps to him also; while
to others it brings a feeling of sadness
When we remember that we may part with
him here, to meet never again; that tickle
fortunes, gittering tide will turn against US,
and he may be destined to leave us, to seek
fairer fields of labor, and by so doing we
will be deprived of that help from him
which is necessary to complete our unfnsh-
ed education. But we will not forget our
teacher. nor our merry school days.
Happy school days, bright with promise,

CONCERNING LOTS WIFE.

Mrs. Lot is chiefly remarkable in history
as a woman who turned into pillar Of salt.
Women turn into salt days, but it Is
salt and battery. This misfortune overlook
her when fleeing from the doomed city Of
Sodom in company with Mr.. Lot and lots Of
little Lots. She was required not to look
back; but true to the instincts of her sex,
she did Tell woman she mustn't DO q
thing, and she is very apt to do it.. She
probably met some young women going to
Sodom to see the fireworks, and couldn't re-
sist the feminine impulse to see what they
had on. Lots of wives would have done a.
Lots wife did. Enforce such an ordinance
now, and pillars of salt would stand so thick
on the streets pedestrianism would be impos-
sibe, and the Syracuse salt works would be
abandoned Lot seems to have pushed
right along, as if nothing had happened.
But what did he want of salt wife, when
he could get fresh one?
How long Mrs. Lot remained standing

not know. No mention of her subsequent
career.

The daughter of Don Carlos of Spain is
very charming young lady, but her visi-
tors have come difficulty in making them
selves understood when they call, because
of the dimenoions of her name. More than
one hired girl has caught cold and gone into
the galloping consumption by keeping the
front door open while young gentleman
callers ask if Senorita Blanch-deC Castle-

Raphaelle is in; and one servant girl called
the police because she thought the visitor
was swearing at her. 1t took eight able
bodied men to baptize her, and her visiting
card is made as large as a cellar door and
carried on push cart. Her monogram is
said to resemble a handful of fishing worms; ;
and when she has her name put on her UNI
brella the eneraver begins at the handle,
works up one side, over the end of the
ferule and down the other side, in order to
crowd it all in. She was named after an
entire orphan asylum.

few new sections to be added, which will
doubtless receive the earnest attention of our
next Legislature, and, if enacted, will
doubtless cure all present imperfectons.
The proposed sections are as follows, viz:
Sec. 1879. The School Superintendent
shall visit each school in his county once
week and report the result Of each visit to
the Road Overseer of the district. IF he
fails to make such visits, on proper infofma-
ton the Board of Supervisors shall with
hold from his salary fifty dollars for each
failure.
Sec. 1880. IF any School .Superintend-
ent shall catch the measles during his term
of office, he shall be deemed guilty of q
misdemeanor, and the Board of Supervisors
shall withhold his entire salary.
Sec. 1881 If any public school teacher
shall make a correct report to School
Superintendent, within the time and manner
prescribed, he or she shall be deemed guilty
of treason and on proper information the
Public Administrator shall declare such
teacher forever disqualified from teaching
any public schools in this Or adjoining
States.
Sec. 1882 If any School Superintend-
ent shall permit any book agent or publish
er to prowl around in his county, recon-
mending the sale of any book not authorized
by the State Board of Education, without a
proper certificate from the Board of Swamp
Land Commissioners, he shall be removed
from office.
These sections will invest county superin-
tendents with dignity, and make county
supervision more etfectual

THE GIFT.

Only fragrant flower
A bunch of geranium leaves;
Filling, with spicy odors,
The very air breathe.
Sweetest of flowers to me,
The dewy, modest pink;
White as the driven snow,
Just tipped with fairest pink.
A token of purity,
Sweet flower, thou seem st to be;
An emblem of Gods pure love,
OF peace and modesty.
As pure as thee, sweet flower,
From guilt and stain as free;
AS free from all care as thou,
OH could only be.
Yes, give me instead of the gaudy-
Instead of the vain seeming flower,
One, pure as the pink and as modest
That around me its fragrance may
shower;
That reminds me not Of the proud
world,
OF the self-loving, naughty, or cold,
But one that reminds me of loveliness,
OF love, which is better than gold.
Only single flower
A few sweet geranium leaves;
My gift, though thy beauty fade,
My love to thee still cleaves.
Thy leaves may grow withered and old,
But cherish thee 1 will;
In the close chambers of my heart
I'll treasure sweet thoughts of thee
still.

Raising Turkeys.

Il does not cost any more, or much more,
to rsise pound Of turkey than q pound of
hen flesh. In the summer they require to be
fed less, being mastery campaigners on their
own account, while in winter very likely their
nervous disposition demands somewhat more
stimulus than other fowls. II well fed they
do not require nearly as careful housing as
the hen, although it is good policy to make
them roost indoors but, left to themselves,
they prefer to weather out the widest storm
in the tree-tops. Finally, when brought to
market, their flesh IS worth much more than
that Of the hen, so that. other things being
equal, it is economy to keep them instead.
Also, and this is well worth considering,--
allowing that the percentage Of loss of young
turkey chicks under most perfect management
Is greater than the loss Of chicks Of the COM
mon fowls; still, the turkeys that survive
reach such great weight that a given number
Of pounds Of turkey may, perhaps, be raised
with less labor than the same quantity Of flesh
Of the common fowls.
The breeding Of turkeys is much better
than formerly. The importance Of the selec.
lion Of the stoutezt and largest gobblers for
breeding, is better recognized, and the facts
that a too scanty range. insufficient food, and
close in-and-in breeding, dwarf the stock,
and render il feeble, and cause the chicks to
die of, are better known. Also, wild turkeys
are crossed with tame more frequently since

A Number of Witnesses Decline
to Testify.
Impossible to Tell when the LabOrs
of the Committee will End.
Mr.. MOulton Hopes to Remove all
Misunderstanding.


New YORK, August THE Plymouth
investigating committee will hold an
other meeting this evening, chiefly for
consultation. Several of the minor wit
nesses summoned have declined to tes-
tify, and others have as yet given no
answer. 1t is remarked by counsel that
a considerable number of witnesses have
been requested to appear before the
c committee who are only expected to
furnish unimportant links in the chain
of evidence; some of them to supply de-
tails concerning the married life of Mr..
and Mrs. Tilton, a class of evidence
which counsel for Mr.. Beecher considers
essential to the investigation Counsel
also says that it is still uncertain
VIII ether Beecher will present a written
statement to the committee or simply
submit to an oral examination; he will
be governed by the wishes of the COM
mittee. he has not received any sum-
mons from them to testify, and the re-
port that he has drawn up written
statement which he will read to the COM
mittee is declared to be premature.
Members of the committee say it is i'm
possible to tell when the labors of inves-
tigation will be over.
1t is undecided whether Beecher will
be called on Monday evening or at
later date, as it is thought possible that
the presentation Of Moulton's testimony
may suggest the calling Of other witnesses
hereafter. 1t is suggested by one of the
lawyers employed on the case that the
committee may concede that it is mad
visable to present their report for the
consideration of the Plymouth church
until the return Of many who are now
away for the summer to render full
meeting Of the church possible.
Mr.. Moulton said yesterday have
hitherto endeavored to bring about peace
between Beecher and Tilton and shall
continue to do so. hope to remove all
Misunderstanding and bring the parties
to an intelligent realization of selfinter-
est. Moulton had long conversation
with three criminal lawyers and two civil
lawyers, as well as with Benjamin F.
Butler. The result of all these talks is
said to be that Mr.. Moulton will not be
too much Of friend to Tilton to join in
his defense, or of Mr.. Beecher to re-
fuse To tell fair story.

CUBAN NEWS.

New York, August IA letter from
Havana dated August says that last
week the town of sibonica, village of
Guyamaso, and another small place,
with nearly Al. OOO rations, we're burned
by the Spaniards, doubtless for want of
transportation, and for fear of anything
falling into the hands of the Cubans.
The inhabitants Of the places burnt have
arrived at Puerto Principe The villages
of Calderon and Unas have been cap
tured by the Cubans, and the plantation
of Jaunas, near Santa Clara, was sacked
by them. In the hills near Cienfuegos
there was lively skirmish between the
Cubans and counter guerillas. The
Spanish accounts say that nine Of the
Cubans we're killed. There are reports
of serious disasters to the Spanish
forces in the district of Holquin. 1t is
said that Esponda aud Bsscones have
been taken prisoners and the former ex-
ecuted by the Cubans. Three hundred
Spanish troops were killed.

FOREIGN.

LONDON, August THE Daily Tele-
graph Paris correspondent says he has
trustworthy authority for stating that
a secret convention was concluded
three months ago between the German
Emperor and Marshal Serrano, by which
Germany agreed if necessary to aid in
the suppression of the instruction either
with money or by means of an armed
Intervention. Serrano in return pledged
Spain to an alliance offensive and de-
fensive with Germany in the event Of a
war with France. Italy was to form
third party to the alliance.
