The MYSTERIOUS ISLAND,

In which, not content with the old stor-
les of "Robinson Crusoe" and the "Swiss
Family Robinson" the writer undertakes to
show how a party of men cast upon a mys-
tcrious and desert Island, may live by their
scientific resources alone, without the aid of
any wreck to draw upon for the materials
of life and comfort.
The party are Americans who set out
from Richmond, Va, during the seige, in a
balloon. NJ. jules Verne unites with ali
accurate scientific knowledge, an eXuberance
of inventive genius that has fascinated the
world.
The theme of the present story affords
the author the finest opportunity for the
display of his peculiar gifts. The story is
profusely illustrated, and is begun in the
April Number.

Moral Eegsscati0M---A Hhirec-
tors View.


In the February number of The
School Journal there is an interest
ing matter.of-fact article entitled,
SCHOOLS and Public Morals which
embodies a great deal of truth in but
few words. No one who reflects
doubts the excellence Of our public
school system. Copied from the best
recognised systems of the different
nations of Europe, it combines about
all that is good in them. 1t is the
power in the land destined to perpet
uate civil liberty, as every lectures
and politician who advocates the sys
tern will say yet this writer tells us
with truth, emphatically, that ''pros-
perity depends more on good morals
than on anything else in our world "
Here is field for the philosopher,
and probably subject for the legis
lator, a text for the minister and q
memento for the instructor. 1t shows
that moral philosophy is not to be
left exclusively to be studied as a
technical abstract science" but to be
taught i'm the beginning of life by
precept and example at our schools |!
Apropos of this subject, l saw late
ly in an article on popular education,
the statement of an old and expert
enced teacher, who said that he never
offended parents by telling them their
children progressed well, though
Somewhat unruly or immoral they
appeared rather pleased than other
wise, seeing nothing but the progress,
and regarding the misbehavior or
MISCONDUCT merely as trifing indis-

Two crops at Once.

by those who have not made the work Of
the farm or garden the study of their lives.
\ case of this kind came under my Obser-
vation, wherein gentleman living in the
upper part Of New \ IOrll Island, and cul-
tiyating but a small garden patch behind
his house, discovered that, to utilize his
small space, he could SOW his Little
Gem peas, and carrots, beets, or parSnips
at the same row, two feet apart. The
peas, of course, came up boldly seemingly
leaving the more tardy root seeds SO far
behind that they would be no more seen.
Not so, however, for as soon as the peas
were matured for use, clustering among
the stems came the feeble seedlings of this
second crop. The "straw" Of the pea crop
was carefully removed on a cloudy day,

unshaded seedlings of the root crop a
few days exposure to sun and air, and
they were thinned out to the usual dis
tance of three or tour inches, and by fall

For mango, cholera and worms in hogs,

method Of treatment. We don't like the

There are but three diseases requiring
treatment which are mango, cholera and
breaking down in the loins. For mango,
wash well with lye soap, and then pot
liquor. For cholera, if YOU know the dis
ease, as soon as you see the hog begin to
droop and try to vomit, gag him, and give
him twenty grains of colonel made into Il
pill. If you have been in the habit Of
giving Your hogs spirits OF turpentine, at
the rate of one tablespoonful to the hog,
put it ON corn, and You will be rarely
troubled with this fatal disease.

ieve in twenty-four hours, repeat the

The SIAMEsE TWINS. The deaths of
but it is not often that we are called upon
to chronicle the decease of a curiosity
like the Siamese Twins, whose death was
announced yesterday as having taken
place at Greensboro. n. c., on Saturday
last. The character of the twins rendered
their history public, and gave them the
unenviable publicity of q curiosity. But
little in addition to what is generally
known can be said in regard.
They were brought to this country many
years ago by the late Captain Abel Coffin
on board the ship Gentoo, OF Boston,
whose attention they had attracted while
he was in their native land Their subse-
quent career is well known, they having
been over the world, and having been its
wonder. They married in this country
and resided for many years in North Car
olina where they owned extensive estates.
That which had made them the wonder of
gaping millions was the cause of their
death, for when one died the other neces-
sarily followed. Several attemps had beed
made to sever the ligature which bound
them, but were abandoned, rs threatening

character little is known, but when we
consider the fact that one was pnrtorce
compelled to share or bear the deeds OF
the other, more horrible existence can
not be conceived. Imagine the misery of
Chang when Eng was angered, or vice
versa, and when we consider that Chang
was II hard drinker and could not fall
down without bringing Eng after him,
we can form q just appreciation of their
mutually embarrassing position. AS it
would appear from the dispatches the
death Of both was caused by one. 1t may
be said Of them with the utmost truth,
that if in life they were not altogether
