Morality of the Stage.

The Rev. r. B. Drummond writes In
the Victoria Magazine: There is no
institution which is so entirely under
the public eye, so wholly dependent on
public approval, as the theatre, and il
it is not all that it oughU to be it is very
largely the public themselves that are
to blame. The stage, while no doubt ii
reacts powerfully on the audieuce,
must still take its tone very largely
from the manners of the time, must
adapt itself to the feelings and expecta-
tions of the spectators. Instead, then,
of denouncing the theatre would it not
be far wiser in those who assume to
be the guardians of public virtue to
recognize it as a great moral influence,
and to take care that, as far as in them
lies, its influence shall be good Let
them, by their occasional presence, en-
deavor to give right tone to the per.
formances, and so make the theatre not
merely place of innocent amusement,
but school of virture, a noble means
of education and culture. And this, in
truth, is what the theatre ought to be.
| am by no means satisfied to regard 1t
as a mere place of amusement, however
far from wishing to discourage any kind
of innocent relaxation. But the theatre,
though it may be this, should also be
much more. 1t ought to be a moral
and educational influence co operating
with the church in the instruction and
education of the people, exhibiting be-
fore their eyes the noblest examples OF
virtue teaching them that in the long
run virtue will receive its reward, and
vice be overtaken by its fitting punish
ment that justice rules beneath the
seeming inequalities of life, and a retri-
butlve Providence presides over the
affairs of men.

A Horse Tanners Horse.

! Probably no horse was ever more
| generally known than the celebrated
! horse Cruiser, imported from England
in 1861 by John S. Rarey, whose system
of horse tanning was for some time the
| sensation in this country and England.
When Mr.. Rarey went to England his
system was thoroughly put to test by
| contact with Cruiser, an animal that was
so vicious that he was closely and con-
| tinnOusly confined in a stable, in such a
| way that he could by no possibility reach
! anybody, either with his mouth or heels.
His food was delivered to him through
| a sort of funnel, and he seemed to have
been kept solely as an extremely wicked
curiosity. His splendid muscle and
activity gave him the widest scope for
the exercise of his incoTrigibility, and
he is said to have kicked so high as to
strike a board floor fourteen feet above
the floor on which he stood. Ordinarily.
1t was only the work of a few minutes
for Mr.. Rrey to tame q horse, but it
took him three hours to subdue the ter
rife Cruiser. After putting Cruiser
under control, Mr.. RErey purchased him
and brought him to this country, and
placed him on the Rarey farm at Grove
port, In Ohio, where he became popular
among breeders. He became so gentle
that the people. about the Rarey farm
could fondle him as they would a kit.
ten, and his colts were noted for their
kind disposition. Strangers, however,
were not permitted to have much to do
with him. This was to prevent teasing
and the revival of the old propensities.
Cruiser died at the Rarey farm recently
at the age of twenty-five.

German Fish For American Waters

Prof. Spencer E. Baird of the Smith

United States commissioner of fish
cries, received last evening at the dock
of the North German Lloyd company,
in Hoboken, number of live fish
from Germany. These fish were
brought from Hungary and Bavaria,
taken from the river Danube, and have
been four weeks on the way, the last
twelve DAYS in tanks on board of the
steamer Donau, which arrived yester-
day. The fish are twenty-seven in
number, all that lived of 800; of these,
seven are carp. which it is expected
will spawn soon, eight gold tench, and
eleven common tencb. They were
brought over in tanks of water, in
which the temperature was regulated
with ice, the entire charge of them
being taken by Rudolph Hessel. an
experienced fish e1lturist af Cff9nburg,
Germany. The fish are to be sent to-
day in cans to Baltimore under the
charge of Mr.. Hessel, who will remain
with them for some months, and Mr..
Ferguson, one of the Maryland fish
commissioners, who came On with Prof.
Baird to take care of the fish, which
will be put in ponds and Matching
houses, furnished by the city author

been imported in order to domesticate
fine favored and prolific fish, which
will live in warm, still water. There
are many inferior species of carp, but
these from the Danube are very fine,
the best being the Cyprirus carpio,
variety Alepidotus, which is without
scales, of fine flavor, and spawns twice

Fixed Not to be Fooled With.

The Oregon Statesman says: A GER.
tain Oregon professor was a very tatherlv
sort of a man, particularly toward his
Young lady pupils. Whenever a young
lady would ask question, he would place
his hand quietly on her head and make
considerable more fuss than was neces-
sary OF course the girls got tired of this,
and conspired to break him of his faith
erIy proclivities. One of them hit upon
a plan. She fixed up nice little pin
cushion, and the pins inserted so that
tbey would stand on their head, point
inward. and then adjusted the internal
machine on top of her head, covering it
with lust enough of her hair to hide it
from view. This done, she left her seat
during the session, walked demurely up
to the professors desk, stood a moment
in his august presence, and then, in
meek and plaintive tone of voice, che
asked him for the information as to
whether Washington crossed the Della
ware on the ice or on horseback when
he left Trenton. He raised his hand
over her head and soothingly said,
ssWby. nv dear little child We'll
have to end this sentence there, for the
balance of the exclamation was sort of
half howl, half whoop which we can
neither write nor print. just as he
said "child," he lowered his hand
caressingIy but forcibly upon the crown
of the girls head, and the whole surface
of his extended palm felt the tickling
and exhilaratiDg sensation of q couple
of dozen of pin points.

Lost Arts.

In mans haste to make discoveries.
to conceive novel inventions, and to
learn new things, he is liable to lose in
his excursions into the realms of the
unknown the knowledge of some of the
arts which he has been at great pains to
acquire. Consequently it nettles us to
hear that the ancients knew all about
malleable glass, and that some of their
artisans were able to execute various
works in style that still excites our
envy and admiration. Of late, however,
there has been, and notably in Venice,
a revival of some of the arts given up
as irretrievably lost. The ancient bro
the Fratelli Agnnio. The production of
this fabric, which existed before that
of Lyons, and was used by the Doges
for gifts to other potentates, employed
at one time fourteen thousand hands.
Some of the stuffs were of extraordinary
qnallty and great beauty, but the secret
died with the inventors. In recent
times some of the European nobility
have succeeded in obtaining the manu-
facture of very beautiful brOcaded tapes
try, at cost of twenty dollars per yard.
The lace work for which the small island
of Burano, near Venice, was once
famous, is also being revived. Under
the auspices of the Princess GiovanelIi,
tie Countess Marce!lo, an aged woman
who remembers and understands the
art, has been engaged to give instruc-
ton in it. The cost of this lace is very
great, the production of a single yard
occupying woman constantly for nearly
six months. There is lively demand
for the first specimens. All this may be
indirectly attributed to the rage in
Europe for articles bearing the marks of
antiquity. At frst dealers get to coun-
terfeiting, and afterwards competition
among themselves suggests the redis
cOvery of the real thing. History con
stantly repeats itself, and if the exist
enca of this planet is prolonged through
a million years, the people of that age
will probably have forgotten many
things we now know, and will be scout
ing the idea of steam power and electric
forces.

Kill d by Il Tiger.

The London Times contains the fol.
lowing: Intelligence has just been
received of the death of Mr.. George s.
Dobbie, Mysore Revenue Survey, at
| Shemogah, in the Mysore territory, on
the 9th of May, from injuries received
on the 2nd from tiger he had MORALLY
wounded. On the I'd of May, while
! Mr., Dobbie was in camp near Maulur,
about twenty. seven miles from Shemo
| gah he received intelligence of tiger
having been seen at place about six
miles distant he at once proceeded to
| the spot and commenced beating the
| Jungle in the usual manner. The tiger
broke from the jungle at a place near
where he was posted, and Immediately
! the beast, which skunk off into thicket
close by. On hearing the report of the
rife the beaters stopped beating. Mr..
Dobbie called his peOn, Syed Mustaffa,
to collect the heaters and bring them
all round to him, which occupied about
half an hour; he then remarked to the
peon, Il have hit the tiger very
hard, and he has gone into that thicket,
pointing to one a short distance off.
He then, with the peon, proceeded
toward the thicket, picking up the
track of the tiger by the marks of blood
on the ground. Cutting their way
through the jungle they soon came near
the place where the creature was lying
MORALLY wounded ; the peon saw him,
and pointing to the spot, said: He is
still alive Mr.. Dobbie replied, &
cannot see him. The peon again
pointing to the place where the wounded
beast lay, said, Take care, sir, he is
looking at u.s. and Immediately after
ward called ont, HE is crouching for a
spring, so look out ! Mr.. Dobbie re-
piled I can't see him, but I'm all
ready and the next moment the tiger
charged. Mr.. Dohbie fired both bar
rels of his rife (snap shots) and broke
the forearm of the tiger, but did not
stop him {; the beast was very bad from
mis- wounds, and possibly could barely
see, for he passed between Mr.. Dobbie
and the peon, almost touching both of
them. The former struck the tiger
while passing, with his discharged rifle,
which caused it to turn upor him, and
during the desperate struggle with the
enraged animal which Cnsucd he tript
and fell and was Immediately seized and
bitten twice-on the right thigh. The
tiger then left him and fell dead before
it had gone ten yards. Mr.. Dobbie got
up, looked at the dead tiger, and walked
to the top of the rising grounds, and
from there was carried back to the
camp. He thought but little of his in
iuries, and during the next two days
transacted his business. On obtaining
palanquin and bearers from Shemo
gah, for which he had sent, he returned
to that station on Wednesday, arriving
in good spirits, apparently doing well,
and was considered by his friends there
almost out of danger. He was slightly
excited and feverish, and was, therefore
not encouraged to speak of his encoun-
ter with the tiger. He slept tolerably
well, but awoke about 3 o'clock in the
morning in very excited state, and,
all the efforts of those

Getting Out of Bed.

DIR. Hall does not approve OF the old
doctrine which was formerly instilled
into the minds of children-that they
should spring out of bed the instant
they awake in the morning. He says :
Up to eighteen years old every child
should be allowed to rest in bed, after
the sleep is over, until they feel as if
they would rather get up than not. 1t
is a very great mistake for persons, old
or young-esp cially children or seden-
tary persons-to bounce out OF bed at
the moment they wake up all the in
stincts shrink from it, and fiercely kick
against it. Fifteen or twenty minutes
spent in gradually waking up, after the
eyes are opened, and in turning over
and stretching the limbs, do as much
good as sound sleep, because the oper-
atoms set the blood in motion by de-
grees, tending to equalIze the oircula-
ton for during sleep the blood tends
to stagnation, the heart beats feebly
and slowly, and to shock the system bJ
