Yes, my friend, ruin-and the
cause you know too well. To save my
self, forced sale of my property on
Walnut street, and it has just been struck
down Mt little over half what would

Miraculous Fish.

A Constantinople correspondent says
1" In Greek church we were shown some
miraculous fish, as they were called. In
a marble basin we saw some small speci-
mems of the finny tribe, said to be OF
the extreme age of ], 400 years-entirely
too old for cooking purposes, even
though we were not disposed to be too
particular as to n century or two. The
story about them is to the effect that
when the Turks were besieging Constan-
tinoplc some Romans were cooking fish,
when some one told them that the city
was in danger of being captured. The
Romans replied that when the fish
jumped out of the pan into the water
then Constantinople would fall. Where
upon the half-fried fish jumped into the
water, the Turks jumped into the city,
and / jumped to the conclusion that the
story of the old brown and white fish
was the largest humbug entertained by
the Holy Orthodox Greek Church.

SEVEN INDIAN MURDERERs TO BE
HANGED. -Colonel Boudinot, who has
just returned to st. Louis from the Indi-
an Territory, says that twenty-seven
murder cases have just been disposed of
by the United States District Court, at
Fort Smith, Ark, before which all the
criminal business from the Indian ma
tons comes. Out of this number, there
were eight convictions for murder in the
first degree. Seven of those convicted,
including two boys, one II and the other
10 years old, will be hanged on the 3D.
of September next. The eighth one, a
negro, was killed after conviction, while
attempting to escape from his guard.
Much outlawry prevails in the Indian
Territory, and ten persons have been
killed at Fort Smith within q few
months.

MMFMoRlAM,


On the STR inst, after tedious illness,
during which all that affection could sug-
gest, or medical aid could minister, the
pure spirit of CUR MCKEE, infant son Of
Af. and Nm. J. J. Richards. left its ffsil
tenement for the fsland Of rest"
An extended notice of little Guy's death
10 unnecessary, ~ he was = babe without
. history except that Of bright looks and
happy smiles, Of childish prattle and infant
merrimsnt,-yet, he filled . mothers heart,
and gave joy to . household who now
mourn his absence. The good Shepherd
has removed this little lamb to the "upper
fold" and the voice of Providence says to
the sorrowing, ''Come up also, hither."
There is more favored cline than this-a
land where the rainbow never fades, where
the stars will be spread out before us like
the islands that sleep and slumber in the
ocean, and where the beautiful beings
which here pass before us like visions shall
stay in our presence forever.
There is no death! An angel fern
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved things away;
And then we cal. them 'sdead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transp1anted into Eden's bliss,
To adOrn immortal bowers.
Whereer he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it too that world Of light,
To dwell in paradise.
Farewell! darling babe; may all who
loved thee here on earth be reunited with
thee in Heaven. ANXIOUS

One of the SchooImasters Abroad.

TIE Schoolmaster is abroad out West,
and in certain little town in Kansas he
is so call abroad" that they want to get
rid of him. The School Committee, good,
easy men, hired teacher some time ago
without sufficient preliminary in the
way of finding out the extent Of his &C
quirements. He appeared a resolute,
determined fellow, just the one to man
age school of obstreperous country
youth, and was engaged without hesita-
ton for the winter. Scarcely had the
school begun, however, than the pupils
new teachers mode of conveying in
formation. In photography especially
his innovations were marked, his views
IN regard to the particular letters neces-
sary in any word varying greatly from
the views advanced by Webster, Worces-
ter and other standard authorities 1t
was discovered that he spelled "sol-
der" "sodger," kerosene" "cerosene"
and idea" "igee," while his opinions
upon other educational topics were
equally bold and original. The careless
School Committee have discovered their
error and requested the teacher to leave,
but he is not as complaisant as compla-
cent in his attention to their demand.
He says that he was engaged for the
winter and that he proposes to keep
school, though they may not like it, and
remains entrenched in rectitude and the
school-house They fastened the school
house door and he broke it down; they
begged Kim to go, prayed him to go, Or
dered him to go, tried to bride him to
go, but in vain, and there he is teaching
the few pupils who come to him that
knowledge isn't always power nor spell
ing an exact science. The mind of the
rising generation is either remaining fall
low or being contaminated, according as
the children stay at home or 60 to school
in that unfortunate district, and the COM
mittee are IN despair There is mag
nifcent opening for any young man who
wants to be pedagogue in the place,
but the applicant must be able to spell
easy words correctly and to whip the
present teacher.-St. Louis Republican.
