An Anecdose of Daniel $. DickensOn.

Burleigh, writing from N. Y. to
the Boston Journal, relates the
following:
Aparty of gentlemen were together
last week, and were telling old time
stories. One referred to Senator
Dickinson. He was not over learned,
but was very shrewd. He knew
absolutely nothing of the classics
and was greatly annoyed when one
quoted Latin. Y an Buren had swung
off into Free Soil, and the burden
of the party was onDickenson's shohl-
ders. A friend of Van Buren was
eulogizing the ex-president in speech
He spoke of Curtius, and compared
Van Buren to that noble Roman.
Dickinson went over to a seat occu-
pied by a Senator who was at home
in all that relates to the Romans.
''Who is this Curtis, the Senator is
talking about?" go, he is not talking
about Curtis at all. He is talking of a
noble Roman patriot. His name was
Curtius, nor Curtis" " Well, what
did he do" =" Why, IN the time OF
great public calamity he threw him.
self in the breach and saved his
county, ." o that's it, is it. - What
did you say his name was ?' q
'Curtius." Wont you speh it?"
C-u-r-t-i-u-s. "ssAn right. Thank you"
said Dickinson as he went to his
eaat As soon az the defender of Van
Buren, took his seat, Dickenson arose,
fresh, confident, exuberant. He closed
like a man fresh from the classics.
"And who is this Curtius, to whom
the honorable Senator compares
Martin Van Buren; He -Soas a noble
Roman. He aoas a patriot. But how
unlike Mr. Van Buren. Curtius threw
himself into the breach to save his
country. But Martin Van Buren
threw his country into the breach to
save himself"

An Alligator as a House Dox,

In many parts of the Southern states
men have so far conquered their anti
pathy towards alligators as to tame
them and keep them in confinement.
In this semi-domestic state the beast
is said to exhibit more intelligence
than would be expected from its
appearance. An alligator was once
the cause of a curious case being
tried at New Orleans. A young lady
brought an action against neighbor
for keeping an alligator IN his yard,
asserting that the beast was of
extraordinary size and ferOoity, that
she had frequently had occasion to
enter his premises, and that, when
ever compelled to do so, she was in
fear of her life. The defendant, who
had been arrested, being required to
plead, stated that he kept the anima l
as a kind of house doc, OF. nigh
watchman, and that, unless provoked,
it was quite apeaceable reptile; futh-
ermore, that the plaintiff had been
in the habit of teasing the alligator,
and exciting his anger by tickling
him in the ribs with a long pole,
throwing brickbats ut him, and on
one occasion went so far as to scar
his back with red-hot iron. Upon
this the lady was bound over to keep
the peace towards the alligator and
its owner. ..-.,.r.

DISAPPOINTED Love.

A Writer in the Popular Science
Monthly says; Love defeated in the
attainment of its object becomes in
man an incident to be forgotten or to
be remembered with impatience,
A defeated love with woman is too
often defeat of her intellectual life.
An emotion, the misdirection or
disappointment of which is capable Of
inducing a large per eentum of insane
in one sex over the other. Certainly
we must credit this excess on the
part of woman with an important ply
steal factor, aside from that of sex
proper, being of less hardy develop
ment than man; but these physical
peculiarities permit sex to assert its
most potent physical effect 10 the
degree of shaping the actions or
destiny of woman. Il viii suffice to
illustrate the fact referred to TO take
the figures from the report of tive
asvlums for the insane-the Penn
sylvania Hospital for the Insane and
the Michigan Asylum. Of I4I insane
men and women received into these
institutions whose supposed cause OF
insaniG;7 could be traced te disaPPoin-
ed .saFeetG0ls, 81 were womeE and 81
were men. Thee figures are taken from
an excess of 454 male over female
inmates. Now, the figures as We
gather them from asylum reports
show that women are no more prone
to insanity than men. 1t is natural to
conclude that specific cause leading
to this excess of insanity in one sex
over the other exists with greater
force in one than the other, and not
that one sex is less able to bear the
operation of the specific cause.

A WOMAN's PRIDE.
BIZ CLARA AUGUSTA

It was a fair, sunny day in August.
They were out on the cliffs, fathoms
above the sea, at play. She, dark
eyed haughty-faced young beauty of
thirteen, he, a tall, stalwalt boy q
year her junior.
There was a wide difference in
their stations in life. You had only
to note the richness of her silkenI
robes, the eoarseness and threadbare
scantiness of his, to. feel assured of
that. No gentleman's son wore a
blue blouse and tattered cap like
Duke Ruthertord's.
The children were gathering mos
ses from the rocks and chattering
gaily together, forgetful of rank or
station. They had met often thus
for the last six years.
Dukes father was a day laborer on
the estate of Hortense Delmaine's
highEbred mother. Fs- +
The Rutherfords had not always
been hirelings. Generations back
they were titled noblemen in the fam
ily but political differences had ta-
ken the title out of the name; and,
early in life, Hugh Rutherford,
Dukes father, had emigrated to this
country, and married, soon after,
the blooming daughter of small
farmer. The young couple had
nothing but wealth and true love;
and after few years even, this last
sweet boon was taken away. Mrs,
Rutherford died, and her husband
had only his six months old boy to
toiIfor, '' ~.
No restraint was put upon the in
tereourse between Duke Rutherford
and Hortense Delmsine by the proud
lady mother of the young heiress.-T
II she Thought of the matter at all
she trusted to the inbornIpride of hel
daughter, and TO the cold contempt
she had tried 80 faithfully 30 Undue

Mrs, Delmaine read her favoritC
novels, entertained her chosen com

halls and Hortense enjoyed the wil(
freedom Of the cliffs.
IThe young girl was almost reckless
| in her odaripgs at times. This after
noon she was in her most dangerou
mood. A cluster of purple flowers
growing in a cleft ih the rocks be

ed her attention. She sprang toward
them. Duke waved her back.

Whole Number 1888.

Mrs. Diaz thinks the philosophers
surprise at the result of his investi-
CATIONS would be greatly increased
II ne had pursued them further, and
discovered that for every other oc-
cupation than the training of chill
dren, special preparation was re-
qnired. She considers the causes of
the lack of intelligent cultivation
among ordinary women, and she
seems to find them chiefly in pies
and rufies. Housework, as it goes
on at present, is never-ending, and
fashion demands that all the spare
odds and ends of time should be
spent in making trimmings for the
much befrilled gowns of the period.
The great step would be gained, she
thinks, if men could be pursuaded to
prefer that their wives should give
them less pies and more intelligent
companionship, and women would be
ready to wear plain garments, and so
gain time for study. There is much
sound sense in this, and the author
paints in strong colors the endless
labors of the model hOusekeeper-
the endless stitches of the mother,
who is determined that her children
shall ruffie it with the best.
