A Novel Table.

A novel dining table is now in use
IN one of the palaces of the Emperor Of
Russia The table is circular, an is
placed on a weighted platform. At the
touch of Il signal like ruo of Alad-
din's lamp, down goes the table
through the floor, and a new table,
loaded with fresh dishes and supplies,
rises in its place. But this is NOS all;
each plate stands on a weighted dish,
the tablc,cloth being cut with circn-
lar openings, one for each plate. fla
guest desires a change Of plate, he
touches a signal at his side, when,
presto, his plate disappears, and an.
other arises. These mechanical dim
ing tables render the presence Of SER
wants quite superAuous. In this cpun-
try, at the Oneida Community, they
employ dining tables having the cen,
trail part made to revolve. Here the
goblets, spoons, tea and coffee, caStors,
pitchers, and other necessary articles
OF table furniture are placed; rcvolv-
ing the centre piece, the sitter brings
before him whatever article may be
without the intervention Of a
special waiter.

The Jackson (Miss.) Wing fur
nshes the following: A few days ago
a wagon, drawn by a yoke of long
horned, Texas cattle, halted on La
fayette street.
The wagon contained a goo1-look

siderable plunder. A man, a small
boy, and a dog that had run to tail,
were the adjuncts.
a. The party were from Texas, and
were returning to their old home in
Decatur county. An allerm IN Of the

his life in the Lone Star State ap-

The First Of April in Boston.

From the transcript, -dprl !.
A successful April hoax, or a Sc
ries of hoaxes, was rrrpetrated by
the attaches Of the How lrd At!en-
num last evening. A wire skeleton
was dressed as a woman and placed
in seat. The pulling of str;n .
caused it to fall to the floor .hen
several of the audience Wee deceived
into giving the supposi'.lons fainter
their assistance. The device worked
so we'll in the theatre that it was car
ried into the streets, and several pa
trolmen became victims OF the hoax,
which was oft repeated during the
night. One was induced to awaken
the woman asleep in a doorway;
another was called to the woman
dead; and so on, until the riligy vas
thrown from one of the wharves, and
a sympatlizing sailor recovered the
supposed body.

Pay Your Debts.

your mechanic, your printer, have
likely served you faithfully, and
performed what you expected of them,
They have done this judging you to
be honest and just. Do not forfeit
their good opinion; as a matter of
policy it will result in loss to you.
The small consideration you may gain
pecuniarily will not be enjoyed with
good grace if You have defrauded
your fellow man.
The blush Of shame will at times
color your cheek, and a pang of NOR
titication sting your heart Your
dreams will be unpleasant, and your
rest will fail Of refrcshment. Those
you have injured will sutter-not
only the loss Of your kuavery and
pretty villany, but will be subject to
the humiliating necessity of confess
ing TO themselves, and 10 the commu-
nifty that they are poor judges Of
human nature, and those whom their
kindness and charity have prompted
them to trust had proven unworthy
their confidence. You will get a
reputation that will prove an incubus
to your children, and your example
may demoralze your neishbor and
excite the suspicion Of your friends.
AS men Of justice and honor, upon
the ground Of principle, You cannot
under ordinary circumstances de-
cline to pay your debts.
! II yon should be confronted and
informed that you were unjust or
dishonest, you would likely resent
such assertion as an insult But
Justice, the twin sister of honesty
consists in an exact and scrupulons
regard for the rights Of others, with
q deliberate purpose to preserve them
on all occasions sacred and inviolate
THAT we pay the full due to those
whom we bargain or deal with, Rom.
Is. Houor requires an exact per-
| formance Of what we have promised
Then pay your debts if possible
Seek no refuge if you are able to
meet them. DO not accuse your
physician Of neglect, Your merchant
Of dishonesty, your mechanic of un-
falthfulness, or your printer Of retain
ing your paper, and swear you will
retaliatc by withholding what is due.
This reason is threadbare, too thin to
shield or cloak your rascalty. Ev-
erybody understands it. If you have
been unfortunate or too prodigal, and
are bankrupt, hunt up your creditors,
Those who confided in you before will
be but glad to trust you again, and
will make liberal terms with honesty
Do not profess to be in reality what
you are not, or assume a character
which you are conscious does not
belong to you. BE one man; have
one purpose firmly fixed Pay your
debts, or they will rise up like
ghosts and haunt you by night and
by day. They will seyou to flee
like a coward from the presence Of
your creditors, increase your misery
and bar the gates of heaven against
you.

Belief in the ins-

1t would be idle to multiply in

knew him can tell hundreds Of anec :
dot.s illustrative of his sympathy
with all forms Of life, whether in the
jellv-ish, the humau child, developing

Still his conviction was something
wonderful in so austere a naturalist,
We happened once to please him by
defining a jelly-hsh rs organized wa
ter. "Now look at it throu5h the

the play of organic zltion is SO won der

but mind can account for it..
"You are right was his answer;
in some incomprehensible way God
Almighty has created these beings,
and | cannot doubt OF their ilnmor-
tality any more than | doubt Of my
own" His fealty to the rights Of ami
mails exceeding that of any great
naturalist who ever preceded him.
Incompetent as we are to give him
his due rank among the great natura-
lists Of the world, we think he ex-
celled every naturalist who has gone
before him in striking at the soul and
individuality of all animals below
man. It's impossible to convey in
words the peculiar feeling which
Agassiz had on this matter. Doubt.
less this large and genial genius is
now satisfied. We cauuot penetrate
