HAzING The determination of
Congress and certain college faculties
seem to be to dismiss the system of
school "hazing" from both military
and civil institutions, inoontinently.
For military colleges Congress appears
disposed to place authority in the
hands of school officers proper TO pun
ish or expel cadets for any violation
of the rules relating to ''hazing" prac-
tice, while the faculties of civil schools
have already assumed that power.
These student trickeries originate in
the noodles of a third term Freshman
or Sophomore as naturally as the
idea of kicking entersa mules pate
and are as hard to eradicate. To get
the roguery out of the successive gen.
erations of students who visit their
schools is task which the collegiate
faculties of the land have entered up.

Power of the Human Eye.

A pro ssor in Vermont, who was
a believer in the power OF human
eye, realized the power of the doc
trine to his sorrow. Determined to
convince the skeptics of it's truth, be
selected ferocious bull who was tho
terror of the neighbolhOod as the OBJ
ject of his experiment. The result
was not altogether successful. Sur
rounded by retinue of disbelievers,
the scientific gentleman sauntered
into the pasture where the thought
full bull was peacefully grazing. He
fixed upon the bull bis eagle eye, but
the ferocious old animal quailed s.ot,
neither did he retire in melodramatic
order, but the last thing seen of the
Professor was his archaeological form
tossed twenty-seven feet into the all
and coming down on the other side
of the fence. His physical injuries
were slight, but his faith in scientific
mesmerism, as illustrated in bulls,
has been greatly weakened.

A. Short Sermon on Cremation
BY HENRY WARD BEECHER.

Mr.. Beecher defines his position
upon the cremation question as fol-
lows:
l. We are heartily opposed to any
compulsory burning. Whoever pre-
fers to be buried should have an IN.
restrained liberty in the matter. II
it be pieasanter to decay gradually
in box five feet beneath the ground,
giving to the near absorbent earth
the volatile constituents of our cast
off bodies than to be turned speedily
TO ashes, SO let it 5e.
2. 1t there be those who, looking
forward, contemplate with satisfac-
tion an nru containing the uncon-
sumeble particles of their bodies,
why shou,u they be denied their
preference Shall one who wishes
to be ashes be compelled to be dirt I?
If one prefers to have his urn on a
shelf should hs be obliged to have a
box far under ground?
3. Let every one choose. Let
commissioners be appointed who
shall put the question without bias
to each one-Will you burn or bury2
And let there be no odium cast upon
either side. Whether it be dust or
ashes let it be esteemed orthodox.
Having fallen into parties, sects,
clans, all their life, and quarreled
about almost every question, there
should be peace at last, and mans
ghost not be disturbed as to the dis
position of his body. The Burning
Sect the Burying Sect Fire or
the Spade into the Ground or into
the Airl How unseemly would be
these cries.
Finally, by way of application
4. 1t Is very little matter what be-
comes of the body after we have
done with it. 1t IS of a great deal
more Importance to consider we'll
what will befall the soul. The
casket is of little value, but the
jewel is priceless. Here endet the
sermon.

Nellie Grant and Her Husband.

A correspondent writing Of the
Grant-Sartoris wedding says;
"The affair was generally believed
to be "love at first sight," and case
of genuine heart-glving. The story
of the courtship is "a long one, though
interesting. Miss Nellie first met
her future lord in England. They
were travelling, and soon became
fel'ow-passengers on steamer to
America. 1t was to the attention
paid her at this time that Mr. Sarto-
ris owes the prize be carried away
to. day. 1t is said that the President
and Mrs. Grnnt at first objected to
the union, bnt afterwards, like the
very sensible people they are, gave
their consent in the belief that the
love was genuine and lasting. Since
then, am told, they have had no
reason to regret their action. Sar-
toris, while no better than hundreds
and thousands of young men of
America whom | could name, is o
very eligible person. He has an al
lowance of some $4,000 year from
his father, and is an only child, his
elder brother having died recently.
H. has studied engineering, but has
20 profession, is % years of age,
and, from such brief notice as have
been able to give him, quite we'll
read and intelligent young man.
he is short, robust, and a blonde,
with strong English features, and
hair and whiskers of light golden
hue. His face is shaven clean over
the chin and cheeks, leaving nothing
but mustache and short tuft over
each temple. The death Of his broth
sr; and the consequent entallment of
q large property prevents him from
carving out q purpose to settle in
this country, AMI become an Ameri-
can citizen.
The bride is also short, and the
least bit inclined to embonpOint. She
looks very ike her father, and would
not be considered handsome although
a genial nature and fair converse
tional powers contribute much to-
ward making her attractive. She is
only Is years OF age, nevertheless a
wel!-matured and graceful lady of
society. She takes her name Wren
shall from her grandmother on her

New Probabilities.

When you sec man going home
at two o'clock in the morning, and
know his wife is waiting up for him,
it is likely to be STORMY.
When q man receives a bill for
goods his wife bought unknown to
him, look out for THUNDER AND
TIGHTENING.
When a man goes home and finds
no supper ready, the fire out, and
his wife crusading, it is likely to be
CLOUDY.
When man promises to take his
wife to a party, aId changes his
mind after she is dressed, you ma !
expect SHOWER.
When a man saves bis cigar money
to buy his wife q new bonnet and
the children new shoe, It indicates
a spell of SUNSHINE.
When man dies and leaves q
nice young widow with plenty Of
money, and you see her walking out
with one of the executors on Sunday
a CHANGE is imminent.

sets, and-so-forth all around. The
reader can throw in a Baron and
Countess or so, governess, an ola
maid, poodle dog, and whatever else
necessary for chinkin', and the story
is complete. Be sure to have couple
of bandanna handkerchiefs ready
when the affecting part comes in.

New TREATMENT FOR CONSERVATIVES.

New TREATMENT FOR CONSERVATIVES.
DIR. William Koch, of Berlin, well
known to specialists from bis trea-
tise on gunshot fractutes, has disco
vered new method of treatment for
consumption. it consists in healing up
the affected portions of the lungs by
injections of iodine, so as to check the
progress OF fostering, whichis the origin
of the disease. This treatment has
been tested in the great hospitals OF
Berlin within short time, among
others at the Royal Charity, in the
presence of the most eminent surgeons.
All the reports of the cases in which
this treatment has been administered
are favorable and hold but promise
of a complete cure. For many years
DR.. Koch has been trying the expert
ment with animals, having tested II
with more than 800 at vast outlay OF

The Badge of a Granger.

The following description of the
badge of Granger may be of inter
est 20 many of our readers:
The handsome badge accepted by
the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry, was designed by MIR.
Frederick Catlin, of New York, a
nephew of George Catlin, the dis
tinguished Indian painter. The des-
ign is in every way so appropriate
that we do wonder at it's being seiz-
ed upon at once by the society as
the insignia of the Order. We give
below q brief description of the
badge, taken from Moore's Rural
New Yorker: "The vignette repre-
sents the sun rising in his majesty
over the distant hills, and throwing

The Session of National Conver

The Session of National Conven-
ton of Dunkards, at Girard, H.,
Wednesday, was occupied in the dis
cussion of the question of saluting
colored brethren with the holy kiss.
1t was settled by permitting each
church to make their own rules on
the subject, though some of the
brethren thought rule ought to be
made forbidding any distinction on
account of color in osculstory ga
lutes. 1t was decided that neither the
ungodly piano nor any other must
cal instrument should be kept by
any member of the church.
