There died at Groton, Conn, yesterday,
Punnio, the Esquimau child, or, as she
was called by her new friends, Silvie.
Silvie was the adopted child of Jo and
Hanna, the two Esquimaux who were SO
devoted to Captain Hail. Those who may
have read the account of Capt. Halls per-
ilous journey may remember many inter-
esting traits of this Esquimau child, and
how she was purchased Of her parents for
an old sled and a jack-knife. Little Pun
ME was one Of the party of ten whites, two
Esquimaux, two women, and FIVE children
who, under the command Of Capt. Tyson,
were separated from the Polaris and left
in the dreary Arctic Seas almost to the
mercy of the waves. From the 10Th Of
October, 1872, to April 30, 1873, this
child fioated on the ice-foe. Alter having
drifted some 1000 miles, the party was
finally rescued by the Tigress, in latitude
53o So north The little Esquimau was
receiving her education at Groton, and
showed great sweetness Of disposition and
capacity Physically, Punnie was very
diminutive, and her health not very good.
1t seems sad to think that this poor little
wait, after passing through such untold
perils, should have finally succumbed,
though tended by the kindest friends. -

THE ToNTISE ASSOCIATION OF NEW
YORK is drawing to rapid close 1t is
an association which adopted novel sys-
TEN Of speculating in human life, proposed
in one Of its forms by Lorenzo Tonti, a
Neapolitan who lived during tho seven
teenth century, and who has given his
name to these associations. That Of New
York was founded iu 1893, by number of
Knlckerbocker merchants, who erected a
coffee house on the corner Of Wall and
Water streets. The property was divided
in 203 shares, which were sold for $500
each, the holder Of share choosing a
nominee upon whose life his own interest
in the property depended. Upon the
death Of any nominee the share represent
cd became forfeited to the association, aud
50 the lives Of nominees we're precious to
those holding the chances upon them.
The lot upon which the coffee, house stood
was one hundred feet square, and is still
owned by tho association. The coffee.
house cost s42, 900, aud during the first
20 years the interest on each share aver.
aged 81 per cent. The property is now
worth about 81 100000. The number Of
nominees was originally 2O3, the same as
the number Of shares, but in 1889 there
were only 90 left. 1t was then calculated
that it would take until 1874 to thin the
number down to seven, and this was the
case. Mr.. William Bayard, one of the
seven survivors, has just died, leaving on,
ly six nominees, the oldest of whom ii
Gouverneur Kemble, who Is In his 100tt

lasts the longest win win the whole prop
erty.

A SINGULAR DREAM AND ITS STRANGE
FULFILLMENT.-The following curious
dream aud its prophetic fulillment may
serve tn interest those who arc curious as
regards premonitions and presentiments of
death. A lady Of the first respectability
vouches for the truth Of the story, and
from the high character of the parties we
have not the least hesitation in publishing
it as fact Not more than month ago
our lady informant's mother dreamed that
she was on visit at her fathers house in
Baltimore. While there her father called
her into an unoccupied room containing
only two sombre looking collins. She
asked him why he kept such mournful
reminders Of the end Of man in his house,
and for whom they were intended? ? His
only reply, as he pointed to the collins,
was lone Is for me and the other for you.
There was nothing Of the usual feeling Of
terror produced By such dreams expcrieu-
ced by the lady on this occasion, and tho
dream made little impression on her mind
at the time. But week scarcely elapsed
before she was summoned 10 the death-bed
Of her father, and on Sunday lass she
joined him in the spirit world. - Climber

livioui to all imperIcctions in the arrange
ments Of the sehool-room as they now are.
Teacher soon finds that B,hny's ideas md
hrs do not correspond, and if he is TO be
benefited BY being pupil in her school,
he must ngain have new seal. How
strange the metamorphosis that occurs
within the next fifteen minutes,--that Is,
in Bcnny's estimation Teacher is partial,
he secs it now, never kuew it before she
allows other boys to choose their own seats,
and makes him sit where he don't want to
sit and he is going to tell it when be gets
home. He docs tell It at home, and
his parents, regarding love of jus
tice as requisite for good teacher, con-
clude that they are very unfortunate in
having such an unprincipled one to teach
heir child, and Immediately publicly de-
clare. $ that Teacher Is unfit to fill her po-
sition, az Teacher, because she don't gov
crn the school as it should be governed" "
This fault having been discovered by one
family, aud told to others, they must be
equally vigilant in trying to ascertain what
other wrongs that need righting, exist.
Soon is found glaring one there is too
much time spent in playing q half the
time, the children are out of doors, 'east-
ing the precious hours that should be de-
voted to study" Thus say these wise
ones, and Teacher, rot wishing to be mis-
represented, explains that it is only the
iveyear.old children that are permitted to
be out of doors during school hours, but
tells the children they must not play SO
much, aud keeps them in, Now comes a
dilemma for Teacher children cry, Teach
or pitics them, wants to make them happy
is anxious TO have them learn as much as
possible. would like to have their parents
pleased with their management, but can
not permit these little ones to disturb the
larger pupils, BY amusing themselves in
the school-housc, finds It impossible to
make them staIy seven hours per day
aud mildly suggests that they are too
young for the schoolroom. If fve-year-
old stay at home, and is kept in the house,
he will romp, make noise, wake baby,
and make mothers head ache if permit
ted TO be out Of doors, he might take a
cold so to the hool.house he continues
TO be sent, aud Teacher must take care Of
him, or, falling to do SO, will furnish an
other proof of incompeteney for the posi-,
ton In the meantime Teacher is en-.
deayoring to teach the scholars all that
they are capable Of learning, not neglecting
either mind, morals or health, though she
knows WE'LL that if she could teach until
doomsday, she would never succeed in
making the public believe that recreation
and pure air are necessary for intellectual
development, and these children have no
more Of either than they need, That is
teaching as it is; this is teaching as it is
supposed to be: Teacher has pleasant
situation, spending her time among jolly
children-whom of course shn likes, all
girls like childrcp,-nice large salary, lit
tie work, much leisure, and no one to please
but Critic.

THE BRIDAL OF THE YEAR,

HfiH,B jof n DeHoer1bc idnemr
ny II. q. 5.
There is mystic beauty
Thrown over natures face
Her jewel'd robs enchanting,
Aud her veil of icy lace.
There is gentle tinklng.
As Springs soft zephyrs sigh
The thousand little icy bells
Tone out that Spring is nigh
There is flood of brightness
Flowing from the skies,
Sol, III golden car, has come,
And claims the beauteous prize.
My thoughts are oil ineiIablo
To view such beauty here;
Surely do now behold
The bridal of the year.

mason.spider. His house is very marye-
lous for such little fellow to make all by
himself without any hammer, or saw, or
trowel, or axe, or nails, or plaster, or any
such things as men use In building; and
yet his T-nsion is it for little queen;
for it Is lined throughout with white silk
This spiders house is nearly as large as
a'hen's egg, and is built Of a sort of red
clay, almost as handsome as the brown
stone they are so proud Of in New York
city. It is cylindrical in shape The top
opens with a little trap-door, which is fas-
tened with hinge, aud shuts Of stself.
The door aud insi le are lined with the
most delicate white silk, finer than the
costliest dress ever worn by lady.
Mr.. Spider builds his house in some
crevice, or bores a cylindrical hole IN the
clay, so that all is concealed from view
except this tiny trap-door. When he sees
any enemy approaching, he runs quickly
to his silk-lined house, swings open the
little door shuts tightly after him holds it
firmly by placing his claws in two openings
in the white.silk lining Of the doGy, just
large enough to admit his little hands or
feet, whichever you choose to call them;
and here, nesting in this luxurious retreat,
he bids defiance to all intruders.
heard all about this spider from a
gentleman who had been to California
and had brought home one Of these red
clay, silk-lined houses, He was showing
it to some children as they were walking
near me. wish you all could have seen
it.-&. Nieholas for Narch.

No lcafy trees, no summer skies,
BEND over thet with tender grace
No meadow green, where violet EYES
Are hidden deep In gra''y space
But cold around thee lies the snow
Fast falling from a wintry sky
And the wild storm kings note az woe
Rings through the Woodland eiear and high
The frozen Tlyulet, whose song
Low watblcd IN the early spring,
And sang all day the summer long,
Calls not unto thy crimson wing;
Close by my window, southern bird
Thou slfst cxultaut IN the storm
with All thy beauty pluinagc stirred
Like flowers round thy llitlc form.
Art thou blossom Of the wind
Borne on the st0rin.klnGs snowy breast,
Was the wild tempest with thee twiued.
In winter music round thy nests
Thou eoInesi bird, when songs are ilod
save what the cold wind roughly sings,
The SHOWS are falling DER thy head.
And deck with white thy radiant wing.
But still thy bright triumphant eye
Is gloclng DER the snowy plain;
No summer bowers for thee sigh,
Nor nskest thou for summer grain
And yet we know He feeds thee well,
Who called thy little being here
sweet nre the lessons thou dost tell
ofhope amid llfe's winter drcar
