NORMAL SCHOOL REGRENTs.-The
action of Gov. Taylor in re-appoiat-
ing Hon. William Starr, of Ripon,
and Jonathan Evans, Esq, of Platte
vile, Regents of Normal Schools, is
worthy of hearty commentator.
Mr.. Starr, who has been identified
with the board from its organization,
has had much to do with moulding
the policy under which three Normal
Schools are now doing 8 most bene-
ficent work and q fourth has been es-
tablished, and Mr.. Evans, since his
appointment by Gov. Washburn, has
taken a most intelligent interest in
the Normal School work. his resi-
dence at the seat of the oldest of the

oversight. The good judgment and
business experience OF both gentle
men, with their interest in education,
make them valuable members of the
board.-,State Journal.

THE HER AL D.
Spilk1ns ana the Changers.

Some two months ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. SpilKIns, at the close OF one of
their lively Masonic Conversations,
agreed upon a compromise which
was that they should both join the
Changers. SpilkiDs, however, with
that galIantry for which he is so
distinguished, and. as he said, to
prove his good faith in the matter,
proposed that Mrs. S. should join
first, and in that way become enabled
in turn to participate in his initiation.
His wife jumped at the idea, but
stipulated that al it might be en-
barrassing for her to go through
alone, she would like to have her
widowed sister, Mrs. Sticklewi,z,
Ioin the Order with her, if possible.
Spilkins readily aceeded to this, and
shortly afterward the two ladies' APP
pIication for membership went in.
In due time they were elected, and
ordered to present themselves for in

exactly like it, and thought it argued
badly, but ne kept still and waited

silence on the subject having been
meanwhile observed by Mrs. S, Spill

would be good time, he thought, to
send in his application, too. Mrs. s.

DANGEROUS WEALTH. The Lon
don Globe says: cit il said that
among the possessions Inherited by
the present Dake of Richmond was
found bank note for 100000. This
unique piece ofpaper-money, ofwhose
existence we have no doubt, was pre-
served with great caution, and by
means which must have heen q source
OF peril to friends and foes. We are
informed that the late DGke caused
the note to be deposited 10 a casket,
and this casket was so fastened that
any one who attempted to handle it
at once received six pistol shots. The
ingenious casket, we are toll, became
a burdcnsone possession to the pre-
sent Duke. His ancestor had rot
transmitted to him the secret by
which it might be opened in safety,
end ho was not unnaturaliy timid in
the examination of his treasure
Under these circumstances we are
rot surprised to learn chat he finally
determined to deliver the casket and
its contents to the Bank of England,
and to permit the officers of that es>

nGity of the terrible contrivance.-

even be in excess gifts rights ifevery

A STORY OF A SPARROW.

A writerin the London Science Gossip
relates remarkable story of his exper-
fence with founding sparrow. Three
years ago young sparrow fell at his
feet upon the pavement from a house

want girl took it in chvrge and swathed
and tenderly nursed and fed it, admins
tering to it sopped bread from her own
mouth. The bantling took to its foster.
mother and to its diet, and grew to itf
full stature. It was finally with desire
to give it liberty, placed in the garden
where it remained untilanother sparrow
apparently of its own age, made love t.
it, a--d finally enticed it away to mor'
natural condition of sparrow life; bu
not so far away as thal it forgot its earl,
friends, whom it frequently visited, an,
continued to recognize with signs of af
fection. If the nurse was in the garden
the grateful little creature would fly t.
her, perch upon her head or shoulder
and retain its position when she wa

and it was perfectly at home with all tn

THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER

You may think the word that of very
little consequence.
If you will read on, however, you will
soon see that that is of considerable i'm.
portence.
You will see that that that, which is
used in the second sentence; is used as
noun.
And we will say still further that that
that that has been spoken of last in the
third sentence is also noun.
We gave the fourth sentence out one
time to gentleman to parse, and a
friend afterward remarked, "That that
that that that gentleman parsed was
parsed incorrectly.
The first gentleman retorted "That,
that that that that that gentleman pars-
ed was rather clumsy sentence"
Another one said, "That, that that
that that that that was still more
clumsy sentence.
A lady present ventured the suggest
ion ''That, that that that, that that that
that gentleman made use of was cor.
rect grammatical sentence"
That's enough.

AMUSING THE BABY.

When the baby is just able to open its
little unused eyes it is first induced tol
gaze upon the lamp. The infant with
weak, pink, half-open eyes, is sufferer
beyond any power to tell of or get relief
from its own woes, and yet the torment
of making it gaze at re putty yed yight'
is supposed to be exquisitely amusing
After the bother with the sun and lamp,
the baby is jumped at, screamed at, and
otherwise startled, until its nerves are
disturbed beyond ordinary quieting. It
is a subject or marvel to most people
that SO many children die in infancy,
but to an observing and rejecting mind
the wonder is that any children grow to
maturity. When you and feel misera-
BILE we want to be left alone. Repose is
the sweetest remedy for our nervous
or other ills, but baby is trotted,
bounced, toted, ''ketchy-ketchied, &"
chucked under its chin, poked in its
cheeks, or somebody's thumb is thrust
into its toothless mouth irrespective of a
need of abluton, and then if baby isn't
happy it is to be reputed very ir-
ritable, Tickling the baby'sfeet, creep
ing the fingers. like the motion of q
mouse across the breast, and up into itf
fat, sensitive wrinkles, is another
mode of amusing baby. OF course the
child laughs, and the idiots who torment
, it forget that it is the same expression
with which they reply to similar pro
cess from the hand of some mischevious
but torturing, friend; and yet we al
, know that this laugh from a man is an
hysterical outcry of nervous irritability
] When the laugh ceases weariness bring

Only a woman, shriveled and oldl
The play of the winds and the prey Of
the coldl
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never DER bold,
Only a woman forsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church
door.
Hark to the organl roll upon roll
The waves of the music 90 over hel
soul!
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the
poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze church
door.
Only womsn-waiting alone,
Ieily cold, on an icy-cold throne.
What do they care for herr
Mumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread, but stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts
beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in the
street.
Only q womRnl In the old days
Hope earoled to her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crownedherwith praise
Somebody faced up the battles of life
Strong for her sake who was mother, or
wife.
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death
shadows are;
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair,
Only woman-nevermore poor
Dead in the snow at the bronze church
door,
