Lydia Thompson and Sturgeon.

The London Sporting Gazette says
the Lord Chamberlain recently COM
planned that the religious feelings of the
audiences at the Charing Gross Theatre
were needlessly and wantonly shocked
by certain allusi6ns to Mr. Spurgeon,
whereupon Miss Lydia Thompson at
once took the bull by the horns and
wrote to Mr.. Spurgeon:~

rey side. This announcement IS III
variably received with great applause;
but, in Difference to your position,

the use of your name. II so, | will with
draw it at once.
To this letter Miss Thompson received
the following reply:
"MADAM: Mr.. Sturgeon duly re-
ceived your courteous note, and would
have replied, but has been suffering
from an attack of illness. Mr.. Spur
geon desires me to say that you, having
had the politeness to inform him of the
little incident, he is quite content to
leave the matter in your hands.
Yours respectfully, 80

Where did you obtain it ?'' "Where is
Decius !? - was the the reply of Malchus.
HAS he left the city, and if SO,
when ?" The baker and the crowd
that had gathered in the meantime,
looked at Malch1s, and seemed to
regard him as one who had lost his
reason. One of them demanded to
know where he had discovered the
hidden treasure. And finally Malchus
was taken before the Bishop of the city.
The Bishop was reverend and dig
nltied man. In kind manner be asked
Malchus who he was and whence he
came Malchus replied that he was
one OF the seven youths who had re-
Gently been immured in the grotto at
the command of the Emperor Decius,
but that the Lord their God had again
given them light and freedom.
f''The Emperor Decius? 1t is nearly
200 years since Decius sat upon the
throne. Many Emperors have reigned
since then. Theodosius now reigns by
the grace of God. Heathendom has
long since fallen. The cross is every
phere victorious. But tell me, where
are your six companions -? Show us the
cave"
Thus spoke the Bishop. And Nal
chus led him to the cave, followed by
al immense concourse of Christians In
the cave they found the iron casket with
the parchment roll, containing full ac-
count of their history, For two centu-
ries the youths had slept, and now they
awoke to see a regenerated world.
The Bishop fastened to send an &C
count Of the matter to 'Theodosius at
Constantinople. The Emperor himself
FASTENED to Ephesus to behold their
wonder But the youths, obedient to
al inner voice, in the same hour that
Malchus returned, had again laid down,
and the Lord took their souls to heaven.

Experiments with TOads.

DR. auckland, to test the matter in
some degree, made some remarkable
experiments. He caused twelve cir
cular cells or cavities to be cut in large
block of coarse oolitic lime stone, with
provision for an air tight glass cover to
each cell. Twelve other cells were cut
in block of silicious sandstone. Tween
ty.four live toads were put into the
cells, one in each, the covers fastened
down air-tight, and the blocks of stone
buried three feet in garden. They
we're left undisturbed for twelve months,
at the end of which time the cells were
opened. All the toads in the sandstone
rock were dead; but most of those in
the oolitic the cells of which were
larger) were still living; some had less
ened in weight, some had increased; but
few of the plates of glass were found
cracked, it was deemed possible that
minute insects might have entered. The
living toads were left alone for
another twelve months, at the end of
| which time they were dead. Seen
through the glass covers, the poor fel-
| lows seemedto be always awake, with
open eyes; perhaps they were marveling
what crime of theirs had subjected them
to sentence of solitary confinement. A
smaller experiment accompanied this
principal one. DR.. Buckland placed
four toads in three cells or holes cut
for the purpose in the trunk of an apple
tree. Two were companions in the
largest cell, the other two occupied a
small cell each; but though small, these
cells were tolerably roomy for middle
size toads, being about five inches
deep and three inches diameter. The
cavities were carefully and closely
plugged with wood. ALI four toads
were found dead and decayed at the
end of the first year. In another sub
sidiary experiment four small basins of
plaster of Paris were scooped out a live
toad placed in each, and cover luted
down, air tight on the tod. The whole
were buried underground. Twelve
months afterward two of the toads we're
dead, the other two living, but greatly
emaciated. 3 To sum up: the best nat
urlists now agree that, however Won
derful the ascertained phenomena really
are, frogs and toads cannot live one
year wholly without air, nor two years
wholly without food.-All the Year

Witchcraft.

Near the classic isle of Lemonos, in
the Greek Archipelago, is the compare
lively unknown island of Agios Strait.
The latter island has lately been raw
aged by locusts, and the local authori-
ties decided that the pest was the result
of witchcraft. Seven Objectionable old
women were, therefore arrested for
witchcraft and thrown into prison.
There they remained for several weeks,
while the locusts continued theirravages
undismaved by the punishment which
had fallen upon the witches. The au-
thorities having discovered that milo
measures had no influence upon either
witches or locusts, they were about to
bury the miserable old women alive
when the unbelieving Turk, who was
the governor of the cluster Of islands
of which Agios Strata formed part, sud
denly interposed his authority and re-
stored the seven old women to their
homes.

No sound of wheels OF hoof-beat breaks
The silence of the summer day,
AS by the loveliest of all lakes 40
while the idle hours away. afa
pace the leafy colonnade,
Where level branches of the plane it
Above me weave a roof of shade
Impervious to the sun and rain.
At times sudden rush of air
Flutters the lazy leaves erhead,
And CLEANS Of sunshine toss and flare ,
Like torches down the path l tread.
BY Sonlariya's garden gate
make the marble stairs my seat,
And hear the water, as wait,
Tapping the steps beneath my feet.
The undulation sinks and swells
Along the stony parapets,
And far away the floating bells
Tinke upon the fishers nets.
Silent AID slow, by tower and town
The freignted barges come and so,
Their jyealent shadows gliding down
BY tow and tower submerged below.
The hills sweep upward from the shore,
With villas scattered one by one
Upon their wooded spurs, and lower
Bellaggio .blazed III the sun.
And dimly seen, tangled mass
OF walls and woods, and light and shade
Stands Reckoning up the Stelvio Pass w
VarenEa with its white cascade.

VIII it al vanish into air? .t'"
Is there land of such supreme
Aud perfect beauty anywhere?
Sweet vision Do not fade away;
Linger until my heart shall take
Into itself the summer day,
And all the beauty of the lake.
Linger until upon my brain
Is stamped an image of the scene;
Then fade into the air again,
And be as if thou hadst not been.

A Thrilling Incident.

A singular and thrilling incident oc-
Cured on the eastward bound passenger
train, recently, two miles east of Rose
creek, near Winnemucca, Cal. The
train was on heavy down grade, going
at high rate of speed, making up tor
lost time. when the engineer. Nick Cole,
thought he saw an obstruction on the
track few yards ahead The locomo-
tive uhistled down brakes" the lever
was reversed, and every effort possible
was male 10 stop the train, which was
under tremendous Roadway As the
tram approached the spot the object
proved to be human being lying with
his body directly across the track. The
man-for man it was-was alive, fully
conscious of his mortal peril, but unable
to move from his position. He had
pulled out his handkerchief as signal,
however, and was waving it with his
hand Thanks to the Westinghouse
brakes and other means used, the train
was brought 70 stand still when within
a few yards of the helpless man. The
man was found to be paralyzed, and was
picked up, placed on board the trair
and taken to Winpemucca, where he wa'
provided for at the hospital. He state,
that while walking along the track hs
fell down completely paralyzed in his
limbs and body, and could not move
himself an inch. When he saw the tram
coming he expected to be crushed &c
death and his feelings were too horrible
to express. He screamed, threw his
hands up frantically, and waved his
handkerchief.

A wild Girl Hunt In Idaho.

A couple of impossible, romantic |
young men of Idaho City, lately made
the same sort of mistake that hunters
have been known to make in shooting |
the tame ducks and chickens of farm
yard for wild game. The romantic
young men were out repairing their
fumes, and apparently keeping their
eyes open all around them for advent.
ures. Near by where the young men
were busy with their hammers and saws
a hardy old minner had quartz lead
He had not been working in it for
long time, and it was supposed had
abandoned it. The Young men did not
know anything about their neighbor,
and probably cared less. Looking over
toward his old tunnel in the hillside
they saw beautiful vision, which stir
red their romantic natures to the very
depths. 1t was young girl, apparently
fourteen or fifteen years of age, standing
on grassy knoll calmly summing her
self, barcfooted and bare-headed, with a
mass of rich hair floating round her like
a robe. They could not see whether she
had any other robes on or not. From
their distance they thought she hadn't
She was evidently wild girl. They
hoped so. They resolved to find out
They dropped their hammers and saws,
and crept up slyly upon her With all the
young romance of their natures deeply
stirred. They had the buck fever"
worse than ever any amateur deerthun,
ter had 1t when taking his first shot. 1t
would be the biggest kind OF a thing in
the mines if they could catch wild girl,
and capture her alive. They hoped and
crept on toward the grassy knoll where
the wild girl was basking in the clear
sunlight of Idaho. The time and place
came when they could creep concealed
no longer. She was there still. They
must make bold dash. They broke
out from under cover and ran toward
her at the top of their speed She broke
and ran too, and she screamed and her
hair flew in a frothy torrent down her
back. OF course she was wild girl
She suddenly disappcared-going in her
hole perhaps-poor timid thlng-wild
as deer or grizzly. The young men
ran on in the fever of their chase, and
plunged headlong into the mouth of the
old quartz miners tunnel. There they
saw "a sight that made their blood curdle
with terror, and their romance sick at
the stomach. Ii was the beautiful wild
girl swooned in the quartzminer's sin
envy arms. 1t was her father. He laid
her gently down upon the gravel. The
young men were too much blown to ex-
plain themselves, and the old quartz
miner deliberately knocked all the ro-
mantle nonsense out of them, and kick
ed them back to their fumes. They
have not gone wild-girl hunting since,
and don't believe there is any such game
in the woods.

In Switzerland the Government,
which controls the telegraph system,
has introduced an excellent plan of
facilitating intercourse between busi-
ness men at points distant from
each other. 1t permits parties at,
different stations to carry on con-
versation, charging for the service
not according to the Number of
words, but according to the time con-
sumed. Such plan adopted in this
country would be of immense value,
as every one who has occasion to
transact business by wire knows how
difficult it is to do so in consequence
of the rigid regulations and clumsy
method of business of the telegraph
companies.

Educated labor is always in demand.
Commercial Colleges well conducted
supply an obvious educational need.
The course of instruction is essentially
and pointedly practical 1t is not in lieu
of, but rather supplementary to, school
or academical education 1t connects
these with the every day duties and

contemplating a LIFE OF BUSINESS can,
in my judgment, most proftably pursue
a course of instruction in the Davenport
