Hiring a Professor.

The following good story is related of
the Rev. DIR. Hill, late President ofsIhs
Harvard College. Last summer lady
halted in front of garden on State
street, Portland, Me-, and accosted
man at work ON some trees with the re-
mark:
"what are you doing to those treess'
"Girdling them, madam. with prin-
ter,s ink and cotton, to prevent the
,anker-worms from ascending" re-
piled the man.
"How much does it cost?" asked the
lady.
"About twenty-five cents apiece" re-
piled tine man.
"what's your names" was the lady's
next question.
''Hill," said the man.
"Well," said the lady, 81 wish you
would come and girdle ours"
The man gave an evasive reply and
the lady went home. On telling the
story to her husband, she was aston
ished to see him burst out in convul-
sive fits of laughter.
"What on earth are ysu laughing
at ?" said the lady.
"why," said the husband your man
that you asked to girdle your trees was

THAT BOY.

Is the house turned topsy turvey
Does it ring from street to roof:
Will the racket still continue,
Spite Of al your mild reproof?
Are you often in q fiutter.
Are you sometimes thrilled with joys
Then have my grave suspicious
That you have at home-that boy
Are the walls and tables hammered:
Are your nerves and ink upset:
Have two eyes, so bright and rougish,
Made you every care forgeti
Have your garden beds prowler!
Who delights but to destroy,
These are well known indications
That you have at hone-that boy.
Have you heard OF broken windows,
And with nobody to blame?
Have you seen q trousered urchiu
Quite unconscious of the samef
Do you love teasing mixture
or perplexity and joy?
You have dozen daughters,
But l know you've got-that boy.
Have you seen him playing circusl
With his head upon the mat,
And his heels in mid-air twipkling,
For his audience, the catl
Do you ever stop to listen,
When his merry pranks annoy,
Listen to q voice that whispers.
You were once just like-that boy.

A Terrible Death from a Cat
Bite.

Mr.. James Raymond died at Brook
lyn, New York, of hydrophobia. Six
months ago, while stroking the back of
cat the treacherous creature sudden
ly turned and bit him severely in the
hand. The wound was dressed, and
Mr.. Raymond experienced no serious
Inconvenience from it until last Tues
day. About noon of that day he be-
came sick at his place of business,
Maiden Lane and Water street. He dis
covered an obstruction in his breathing,
and had severe pains in his head. For
time he was unwilling to believe that
anything serious allied him, but he was
compelled to quit his work and go home
where he arrived at four o'clock. He
sent for physician, who decided that
the ailment was congestion of the left
lung, and prescribed for the patient
with that view. The next morning,
however, when the doctor called, Mr..
Raymond was much worse, and his
symptoms could not be accounted for
on the hypothesis OF congestion OF the
lungs. Inquiry elected the fact about
the cat bite, and the doctor was then
satisfied that he had a case of hydro
phObia to treat.
This conclusion received a fearful con-
firmation about twelve O'Clock. Mr..
Raymond had then a terrible paroxysm,
lasting more than an hour, in which he
frothed at the mouth, expressed the
greatest horror at everything liquid,
and required the services of six strong
men to prevent his harming himself or
others. This paroxysm was succeeded
by others none of which were so vio-
lent. At one time he begged his atten-
dants to release him for few minutes,
and as he was then comparatively quiet'
they did so. He seized the opportunity
to rush to 4 closet where there was
bottle of laudanum. He got the bottle
into his hands, but it was taken from
him before he could make any use OF 1t.
Six physicians were with him on We'd
nesday evening and night. They kept
him inhaling chloroform, and injected
morphine epidermically. This treat
ment seemed to alleviate his suferings,
and for two or three hours before life
was extinct he was comparatively calm.
After midnight an Episeopalian minis
ter baptized him and administered the
sacrament, the dying man being able to
make the responses. His last moments
were quite peaceful. Shortly before he
expired he said that he would prefer
death thousand times to the agony Of
another paroxysm. Mr.. Raymond had
been married about two years, and
leaves a young wife and child. He
was twenty-five years and five months

Number OF acres certified U,1o,5ol
The total area comprised by these
grants is nearly equal TO ten States of
the size of the State of New York, and
more than equal to Seventy-two States
of the size of New Jersey. The amount
of land which has been certified to these
railroad operations up to January, '7S
is equal to two States like Iowa, or five
States OF the size of New Jersey.
FAILURE OF TRANSPORTATION BY LAND.
The six great outlets by rail from the
West are the New York Central and
Hudson River, Erie, Pennsylvania, Bal
timore and Ohio, and Chesapeake and
Ohio railroads in the United States and
thr Grand Trunk Railway in Canada.
The total amount Of freight moved by
all these lines last year was about a.
O0O, 900 tons, of which at least lo,OOO,OOO
was local freight. The capacity of these
roads then for through tonnage, after
attending to the local freight which they
cannot neglect, is about 100000 or 4, :
400, 900 each. Allowing them to haul
many trains back empty and the thro'
tonnage from West to East may be put
down as 100000. The capacity of the
trunk railroads as compared with the
total production of grain in the wsst
may, therefore, be stated as follows:

GROWTH oFvuK COUNTRY.


The railroads of tn United states
have increased from twensy rhr-e miles
In 1880 to nearly 10000 miles in 1872.
the number of vessels built has iicreas-
ed but little. In fact the averageuum-
ber of vessels built yearly now is but
little larger than it was in lsl5,notwih-
standing the commerce Of the country
has almost doubled every decade. The
population, except for the years in
which census was taken, is estimated
on the basis of an increase of per cent
per annum.
MARVELLOUS DEVELOPMENT OF THE
WESTERN STATES.
The following statements Of the pop
ulation and cereal products of ten Wes-
tern States viz, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michi-
gan, for 1850. 1860 and 1870, shows how
rapidly that country has been develop
ed, and gives an idea of what may be
expected when 100000 square miles
more are added to the grain region:

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

There is evidence in the announcements to-
day that the Brooklyn sorrow is about to re-
ceive some attention in at least two Of the
pulpits of this city and Brooklyn. One would
have supposed that such theme would find
its proper sphere somewhere else. It cannot
be touched at any point, however tenderly,
without bringing up the whole scandal before
the minds of al who have read it's details.
and we presume there are few on this Cont
themselves with all that has been published
pro and con about it, DR.. Martin will this
afternoon discuss the DUTY Respecting
Scandal" and will apply the lesson to the
Beecher-Tilton case. DR.. Fulton, of Brook

morning theme ''The Temptations and Trials
Of Ministerial Life" He has been long

THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY. LY.-According to our
latest news the French Assembly has come 10
the conclusion that it cannot do better than
adjourn. 1t has not done much this session,
if we except the vote in favor of the Septen-
nate. and it is still questionable whether the
Septsnnate is not q living source of trouble.
MacMahon does well-does his very best; but
somehow his best does not help towards
solution of existing difficulties. As
the report from the Committee Of
Thirty, which promises to live in history
as one Of the fruitless institutions of the
nineteenth century, has not proved acceptable.
the government has, we think, done we'll in
consenting to recess. France is allowed time
to think, and it is to be hoped that when the
Assembly resumes its sittings something prac-
teal will be laid before the country. For the
time peace is preserved But who looks for

Just es in England when the practice of gar
rotng came into vogue there was no law TINT
could in any way arrest it We are quite sure
that if tho kidnappers of Charley Ross could
be arrested and within twenty-four hours of
thor condemnation taken out and hanged to
o tree the universal sense Of the community
would be that they had swift and speedy
justice. If there were any possible case in
which we should be disposed to regard Lynch
law as ''higher law" in criminal juris-
prudence it would be in that of these nefari-
Gus men IN Philadelphia. But as that is not
to be considered, then we should take lesson
from the English. AS soon as it was found
that there were villains capable of assaultinS
peaceable men on the highway for pur-
poses of robbery law was passed
declaring that all prisoners convicted
of the offence should, in addition
to Imprisonment, be aogged. The re-
suit of the law has been that the crime
is almost extinct Experience shows that
foggng is the one punishment that the GRIM
inal breads We should be far from welcom-
ing the return of this custom, or of anything
that looked like the pillory or the whipping
post, but law flosging men found guilty of
kidnapping, and in addition imposing upon
them q long term of Imprisonment at hard
labor, would do more to suppress the crime
than any other expedient. We think also that
nothing should be done in Philadelphia to in
terfere with justice The first duty of the
officers of the law ia to discover these offenders
and punish them. However painful it may be
to the family, nothing could be moro unwlse
than for the officers to make such terms with
the kidnappers that they could escape with
impunity. If this is once demonstrated then
no child in the community is safe. Let every
effort be made to restore the boy, but none
that will in any way compromise the crime
or permit immunity to the merciless scoun-
drels who have committed it.

DECEPTIVE FIGURES. When Comptroller
Green, usurping the powers and duties OF
the Board of Apportionment made the final
estimate for the present year before the
meeting Of the State Legislature, he put into
the appropriations nine hundred thousand
dollars more for payment of interest On
the city and county debt than was
required, and he stated the amount to be
derived from city and county revenues for the
year, and deducted from the estimate, at one
million dollars less than the revenues would
yield. When he made the revised estimate.
authorized by the special law of last session,
he took of the amount in excess of
the interest and added on the amount
by which the revenues had been previously
understated He then claimed to have ''re-
duced taxation" by one million nine hundred
thousand dollars The action of Messrs
Vance and Wheeler in the Board Of Appor-
t,onment exposed and defeated such charlatan
tricks, and secured o small but real saving

very interesting correspondence between high
officials on the Indian question. The CORE
spondence speaks for itself. Generals Sherman
and Sheridan and all the other officials men,
toned in the correspondence seem to be of

in favor of Furnishing the Indians and of
making severe examples whenever and where
ever occasion calls for it. The Quaker policy
still finds friends, but the severe policy must

the Mayor is and the Governor is

him. But he is in no hurry about his answer
