Wood Books.

In the museum at Hesse-Cassel, Ger
many, is library made from five hun
dred European trees. The back of each
one is formed of the bark of tree, the
sides of perfect wood, the top of young
wood, and the bottom of old. When
opened, the book is found to be a box
containing the flower, seed, fruit and
leaves of the tree, either dried or i'm
itated in wax. At the Melbourne Inter
colonial Exhibition of 1866, Colonel
Clamp exhibited specimens of Victorian
wood converted into small boxes of book
form, according to design adopted by
that gentleman at the Victorian Exhibi-
ton in 1851, and then suggested by
Baron Ferd Mueller. Nothing could
be more interesting than a library Ito
speak allegorically) of such imitation
books, representing the different tim
bers of various countries which could
be Systematically, or alphabetically, or
geographically arranged Australia
alone could furnish of such collection
over thousand volumes. At the Paris
Exhibition of 1857, Russia showed
similar collection of wooden books clev-
erly designed, showing the bark as the
back binding, and lettered with the
popular scientific names of the wood.
Each book contained samples of the
leaves and fruit of the tree, and a Sec
ton and shaving, or veneer of the wood.

The Home Rulers i'm Scotland.

A correspondent of The New York
Herald, writing from Edingurgh,
thus describes the leader of the Home
Rule movement in Scotland John Fer
guson is a man of great skill, energy
and elOquence. An Irishman himself,
he is conspicuous for his labors in every
patriotic movement for the benefit of
his country. He is a protestant, and
this fact greatly disarms the cuckoo cry
that " Home Rule means Rome Rules, i"
cry which readily enough seizes
hold of so intensely Protestant
people as the Scotch are AS
as a speaker, Ferguson has few
equals in any country, and his speech
to the home rulers in the City Hall
of Glasgow, on the eve of the election,
was one of the ablest election speeches
ever heard in the west of Scotland. He
possesses good social position, and is
one of the partners of the well-known
publishing house of Cameron & Fer
guson. He is also comparatively a
young man, not over 80 years of age,
and is very popular with all classes
of his fellow citizens. Tall, well-form-
ed, though of slender build, of dark
beautiful in it's information, he possesses
some of the best qualifications, of the
successful orator AS tactician he is
not whit behind the best electioneer-
ing agents in the west of Scotland, and
his bold determination to withdraw the
whole Irish vote from the Glasgow
Liberal camp because of their protested
inability to comprehend the meaning
of the Irish home rule cry, created the
greatest CONSERVATION among the Lib
erals, and resulted ultimately in the
loss of one of the three Liberal seats
for the city.
Mr.. Ferguson, in conversation with
your correspondent, declared himself
most sanguine of the future Of the
Home Rule movement in Scotland,
stating that although as yet it was
limited to the Irish residents in the
country, the patriotism was of the most
enthusiastic character, and was even
already telling on their more apathetic
neighbors, the Scotch, as an instance of
which he mentioned that at late Home
Rule meeting in Edinburgh, four of the
town councillors of that city where on
the platform, and one of them occupied
the chair.

A Communication from Judge Peckham.

Judge Peckham, late of the Court of
Appeals in Albany, who went down with
the Vile du Havre, has written, or,
rather, his spirit, has indited letter to
J. W. Edmunds, which is published in
the Boston Banner of Light. The
spirit valves all ceremony, which, con-
sidering that his last acquaintance with
the flesh was in the briny element, is
an easy and graceful mode of putting
it. During his dying moments he lived
his life over again, as is usual in such
cases. He was greeted in the life i'm
mortal by many of his old associates,
"and If on earth attractions have the
power to charm away sorrow, how much
more enchanting are they here, where
the scene has changed so quickly, so
gloriously that we do not murmur at
the haste" In the realms above he has
learned that the officer in charge of the
Vile du Havre was SO entirely deceived
in regard to the distance between the
Loeb Ern and his own vessel that no
power on earth, or that which the spirit
world could bring to bear, could have
prevented it. Hence the collision was
inevitable. This is what you might
call esprit from the vastly deep"

and bread and butter. But after par
taking of that second meal [ was shown
into bedroom, where I soon threw off
my damp clothes and retired for the
night!
On the following morning, at
o'clock, came the welcome news that
some steamers for our conveyance from
the island had arrived from Halifax.
and shortly afterward we were on board
one, called the Delta.
In due course we landed at Halifax,
and some of our party were taken to a
hotel in that cityr There I was visited
by DR.. j, who examined my feet,
and declared that my left foot showed
signs Of gangrene. DR.. -, another
physician of the town, differed, and I'M
dertook to cure my feet by the applica-
ton of carbonized oil,
Next day, accompanied by my friends
and Sufferers, WEIGH and Kew,
and servant who had been saved from
the wreck, / left Halifax in a small
steamer, and. after a peaceful voyage
of two nights and day, landed at Port
land.
Thanks to the carbonized oilprescrib-
ed by Dr. W, the much dreaded gan
creme never appeared.
From Portland we went on to Boston.
My servant Tom, assisted by some
laborers, who willingly volunteered
their services, carried me in turn from
the steamer to the train. In few short
hours we arrived at Boston, and after
breakfasting at the fremont house,
where payment was generously refused
by the landlord, I babe adieu to my
friends Welch and Kew, whose destina-
ton was in another direction, and took
| the train for New York and home.

A Scene in the South Carolina Legisla-
tire

The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston IS. Co. News describes re-
cent scene in the South Carolina House
of Representatives as follows: The
House was at this time in great confu-
sion. Holmes, of Colleton, called upon
the chair for the yeas and nays, but the
call was not recognized by the Speaker
until the vote had been announced,
whereupon Holmes arose to question
of privilege, which was overruled.
Holmes, however, insisted upon his
question of privilege, and began to
make speech. It was then that most
ridiculous scene ensued. While the
member for Colleton was going ahead
slowly with his question of privilege
his brother members seemed to be sud-
denly seized with species of'epizootic
or chronic influenza. It was evidently
a deliberate, premeditated design to
cough the member down, and taking in
the situation at a glance he became
proportionally wrathy. He first called
upon the Speaker to protect him, to
which the Speaker replied that the gas
was probably escaping. This made the
member more wrathy, and he threw out
the "insinuendo" that some of the
members were choking with one of Joe
Woodruff's $3.50, 900 pills. Mackey ap-
pealed to the Speaker to send for a
physician. But the coughing continued,
until the member from Colleton began
to realize that his brother members
were not disposed TO hear him, where
upon he gracefully took his seat, and
the symptoms of epizootic disappeared.

WOman's Rights in Massachusetts.

The most notable feature of the
March elections, says the Boston Ad-
vertiser, is the election of women by a
large number of towns in central and
western Massachusetts, to places on
school committees. The recent discus
sion of the subject in Boston excited a
very general interest, and many towns
took this method of expressing their
opinion about it at the first opportunity
There are few towns in the state where
women are not ready to undertake the
supervision of the schools with inteli-
gence and enthusiasm In many of
them all the teachers are women, and
all the pupils children, the older girls
and boys finishing their education away
from home. In such towns the school
committee service seems to belong es-
pecially to women, if any can be found
who are willing to undertake it.

Greek heroes did live, DIR. Schlicmann
undertakes an arduous task, bat he
bases his spccu!ations on tho actual
revelations of the relics dug up AT the
site OF the ancien, city. Aboa. four
years ago excavations were begun 1t
modern Hissarlik, and the FIRST Giscov-
cry Was the remains OF city OF Grcco-
Roman origin, in which none OF the
articles found were of 4 later date than
The seventh century B. c. This town, it
* believed, was bnii. about 100 Il. C.,
and destroyed by the Roman Emperor
Constantine II. Soon after, within Il
mound, were found, walls Of Gree!.
city, and beneath these sui older
structure which served as their iounda-
hon. Encouraged by these discoveries,
the explorer opened an enormous tre3cb,
aaI laid bare three distinct strata, lii
the lowest of which, upon the virgin
rock, were found fragments of pottery,
4. n TIE next cshes aud calcinci fragments,
all bearing the marks Of II great con
i!agra,ion, and, in the last, houses OF
small or Gu, stone joined with mud.
Mere extended excavations revealed
the walls ii y grand temple Of Hi erva,
20 feet in length, in which were found
vases of-gold ard silver, copper, weap-
nEs Of war. aud ornaments Of every
description, numbering some twenty
thousand in all, and all traceabie TO q
perio.i earlier than that OF the Greeks.
The tools brought to light were either
Of hard stone or OF bone. There are
saws made of slick and knives Of
obsidian Hammers had holes for the
of handles cut by the action oi
sand and water. Nothing resembling
A lathe WAS found. Pottery was nodded
entirely by hand. Mills for grinding
grain existed in profusion; but bread
could not have been known, as nothing
resembling baking apparatus Was met
with. The work in gold and silver was
executed, apparently entire
y by hand; and from the fact that
much of il WAS made in the figure Of an
owl, sacred to Minerva, the tutelary
lefty of the Trojans, the explorer finds
additional evidence for his belief that
