Fifty Years After.

Among the many stories told of the
late Arthur Macarthur, of Limington, Me,
is the following; A few years after his
graduation he received communica-
tion, in the usual form, from the Presi-
dent of Bowdoin College, informing him
that the Faculty had conferred upon him
the degree of A. NJ, and that the parch-
ment evidence thereof would be for
warded to him upon the payment
of the customary fee of SO.
Mr. Macarthur made no response to the
letter at the time, but nearly, If not quite,
half a century afterw ard took it down
from the pigeon-hole, where he had care.

note to the President of the college in

being from home, Nine. M was sud-

steps in her room, and was Mortified to
see at her bedside three men masked and

disguised voice: Give us the key of the
treasure-room.' L haven't got il, she
replied, with much self.possession. We
will try, and if we do not find it we will
torture you until you confess Upon
this, in fear and trembling, she produced
the key, which was concealed under her
pillow, and gave it to her interrogator.
After short absence he returned saying
that he had been unable to open the lock

stood close by and pointed out where
every stroke was to drop, and the screw

for every cut was as bad as the others,
and the pain was just like dying over and
over again. The hardest pull was trying
to make out where the next would drop.

would cry out louder every time. Some
times it would drop on one of the cuts that
had gone before. | could have sworn

Why every now and then the cat Tapped
round my chest, and that was worst of
all. 1t Knocked me out Of wind, my
breath went as if I'd jumped into cold
water, choking like, and my mouth as
dry as could be. I'd nothing to
chew, 80 | hung on to the rings with my
hands as hard as could, and this only
pulled my chest across the wood and
made my back tighter. The last was as
bad as the first, every bit of it, if not a
trife smarter, but I shouldn't have
minded If they'd laid it on quicker. 1t
was the slow time that licked me, and if
I'd had the regulation three dozen

all stupid about not feeling it after the
first FIVE or six. Your back don't grow
dead (numb) at all, but only gets tender
as you get more of it. Is there anything
else like a lashing? Nothing that know
of. I've had most kinds of knocking
about, but it licks all; there's no pun

bad while you're waiting as when you're
getting it, and both are smart"

Quaint Anniversary Customs.

On the anniversary of the battle of
Blenheim each year gentleman may he
seen getting off the train at Windsor and
carrying a white flag up to the castle,
depositing it into the hands OF some
court official with great solemnity and
ceremony, On the anniversary of Wa
terloo another gentleman proceeds to the
same place, also with flag though this
time the bunting is a tricolor. On a GER
tain day in every October, should you
happen to be in the Office of Her Majesty's
Remembrance" in London, you would
see three very dignified gentlemen, with
heavy watch-seals and bristling side
whiskers, diligently engaged in splitting
fagots of wood and counting some horse
shoes and hobnails. Such are few of
the lingering relics of the poetry of
feudalism in England. Blenheim was
given to the great Duke of Marlborough
and Strathtieldsaye to the greater Duke
of Wellington, on condition that the eere.
mony detailed above should be performed
annually forever. The city of London
holds possessions in the shire of Salop so
long as certain officials make wood
choppers and nail-reckoners of them
selves once every year. What would
occur if these flags did not arrive at
Windsor, or those nails were not counted,
is as mysterious as the consequences of
"naming a member" in the House of
Commons. 1t may at least be taken for
granted that some worthy old Tories
would be heard to deplore the fact that
England was "going to the dogs" No
body-except, perhaps, Bradlaugh and a
few others of his sort-thinks of abol-
ishing these absurd though not un,
picturesque performances. Even Temple
Bar is allowed to totter on its feeble
foundation, though it threatens to fall
on the heads of passers.by any hour OF
the day; and here seems to be the limit
passed between harmless keeping alive
of quaint old customs and the danger

The Effect OF Music on savages

SIR SAMUEL BAKER, in his new volume
of African adventure, tells us of the
notable effect of music upon the natives.
II believe" " he says, 1.-THE safest way to
travel in those wild countries would be
10 play the cornet, if possible, without
ceasing, which would insure safe pas
sage. A London organ grinder could
march through Central Africa, followed
by an admiring and enthusiastic crowd,
who, if his tunes were lively, would
form a dancing escort of the most un-
tiring material" One can but imagine
the different record we should have if
music, instead of gunpowder, had been
employed as force for the conquest of
savage races. The Pilgrim father, who
so severely condemned ungodly music,
might have reversed his judgment had
he known the effect of the fife and the
drum and the trumpet on the sensitive
ears of the Indians; he might, indeed,
have organized bands of organ-playeTs
and, even if his own spirit had severely
suffered under that unwonted noise, the
| speedy conquest of the otherwise intracta
BILE savage would assuredly have rem
dered the employment of such means

African explorers hereafter go forth with
many wind and string instruments; even
the pirates of the China seas, or the can
nibals of the Pacific, would cease to be a
terror to every traveller had they means

and dying sounds" Fearful has beer

Orpheus has been unknown or neg

The Whipplng-POst in England.

THE English papers record recent
cases of the use OF the lash in criminal
punishment, which were cruel but effi-
cient 1t is great mistake to suppose
that the whipping post is obsolete in
Great Britain. AT Manchester a report
er has interviewed a man who was
whipped for robbery with violence, and
the proceeding was not pleasant one,
although calculated to inspire whole
some fear. The man himself is the mar
rator:
"The first stroke went right across my
shoulders, and it was something awful.
I'd never felt anything like it before, and
l howled out sharp and roared as loud as
l could. Just where the lash went II
seemed TO burn right into me, and the
skin felt as II 1t had swelled up and was
going to burst. 1t went through me like,
