Who was Hermann?

The recent grand celebration at Det-
mold, Germany, was not only a fitting
tribute to the first Teutonic hero who
made an indelible mark upon history,
but testified also to the fidelity with
which the children of the Fatherland
cling to the memory of those whose
courage and patriotism have contributed
to the nations freedom and prosperity.
To the vast majority of readers-Ger-
mans excepted-the. name of Hermann
has no significance In truth, that name
does not appear in other than German
annals, while every student is familiar
with the parsonage to whom IT refers
under his Roman designation - Ar
minus. The son of Sigimer, a chief OF
the Cherusci, he was born in the year
1SB. c., and while still mere youth
was sent to Rome as a hostage. 1t Is
supposed that his rare abilities attracted
the notice of the Government, for he
received an education at the States ex-
pense and at the proper age was given
subordinate position in the Roman
army. Here he acquitted himself so
gallantlv that he was raised to citizen

equities. But though a Roman citizen
and officer, Arminius was always in
tensely German at heart, and waited
patiently for the time when he might
strike an effective blow in behalf OF his
country's liberties The time came
sooner than he anticipated. About the
wear 9, the Emperor Augustus sent Pub
lius Quintilius Varus TO take command
of the army in Germany, with instrlc-
tions to Introduce there the regular ad-
ministration of Roman province. This
change Of laws, coupled with the inju-
dicious zeal of the new ruler, produced
Widespread dissatisfaction which soon
eliminated in open revolt. A leader for
the disaffected tribes was found IN the
person of Arminius, whose military
skill and knowledge of the enemy S tac-
ties speedily bore bloody fruit. Varus
advanced into the, rebellious region at
the head of three legions-about 10, ,O00
infantry and 600 cavalry-andsthe usual

A Desperate Struggle with Burglars.

For two or three weeks past farmers
throughout the Chenango Valley have
lost large quantities of butter by the
operations of burglars, who break into
the cellars and remove tubs and firkins
that are ready for market. Two bur
glars, while engaged in thus abstracting
the products of James Chapel's dairy,
near Chenango Forks, on Wednesday
night, were discovered by hired man
named Pangborn, and in the struggle
that ensued one of them, it is believed,
was killed, although the other escaped,
bearing his companion with him.
PangbOrn was awakened about midnight
by noise in the cellar, and, taking his
lantern, opened the door at the bottom
of the cellar stairs. The light revealed
two men, who had rolled several tubs of
butter to the steps leading out of the
cellar, and were about ready to carry
them up. Pangborn seized both burg
lars, and they grappled with him and
bore him to the ground, one of them
exclaiming, ''Kill the -" In the
fall the light went out, and PangbOrn's
hand struck accidentally against piece
of flag stone lying in the cellar bottom.
He seized this, and struck a blow with
all his strength on the head of one of
them. PangbOrn says he felt the skull
crush beneath the blow. The man at
once released his hold on Pangborn's
throat, and, with heavy grOan, rolled
over on the floor of the cellar. The
second burglar at once endeavored to
get away from PangbOrn, but the latter
seized him and began shouting for help.
In the struggle that followed, both men
regained their feet. They fought about
the cellar for ten minutes, dealing each
other tremendous blows, until the bur-
glar fell heavily under one of Pangborn's
blows, and, as he did not stir, the hired
man. supposed he was stunned, and
fastened up stairs and aroused his en-
ployer's family, who, strangely enough,
had not heard any thing. They pro-
ceeded to the cellar and were astonished
to find that both burglars were gone.
The overturned milk-pans and general
disorder, the large pool of blood where
the wounded burglar lay, and the
bloody and bruised appearance of Pang-
born, bore witness to the severe strug-
ole. Indications that the burglars had
escaped to the heavy woods near by
were discovered in the morning, but
their hiding-place is yet unknown.
Pangborn believes he killed the first
burglar with the stone, and that the
other carried off his body.-COr. Ne10

In a Car with a Tiger.

A recent incident on the Ogdensburg
road is thus described by the st. Adams
Vt.) Messenger, of the 9TH instant:
"A cage of tigers, which was on its
way to a menagerie now exhibiting south
of here, was placed in one end of the
car, and a zebra was tied in the other
end. The watchman lay down on box
and fell asleep. When he awoke he
discovered that one of the tigers had
bent the iron bars of its cage, forced its
way out, and was crouching in the Op-
posite corner. The regular keeper of
the animals was in the sleeping car at
the rear end of the train, and there was
no chance to communicate with him or
with any one outside. The poor watch
man was frightened into mOtiOnless ST.
Ience, and in that awful suspense he
made the long and weary journey to St.
Albans. After the train came to a halt
here, one of the train men, in passing
the car, saw q large, cat-like nose
thrust out of an opening, and not know
ing that any ones life was endangered
in the car, but fearing lest the animal
should escape, ran to the sleeping-car
and aroused the keeper, who soon ap-
peared, raw-hide in hand, and laShed
the beast back into his den, to the inn
measurable relief of the poor fellow
who had been curled up for hours on
the box

A Girl in The Pulpit.

Miss Annie Oliver, the girl preacher
whose sermons have been listened to
by many persons at Sea Cliff and other
places, was born in this city, and is a
graduate of Rutgers Female College.
She is slight-built young woman,
with coal-black eyes, abundant brown
hair, and very graceful manners. To

day, she said: "Oh, preach because

to learn landscape painting in Cincin-

into it, and helped them all l could in
Trumbull County. Then in Cincinnati
| went with the ladies to the temperance
meetings, and by talking to little knots

clusters of the poor of the city. Then

began to seek place to study. OF
course l thought that girls would have
to be educated, if they became preach
ers, as well as boys. l applied first to
the Seminaries of my own church, the
Congregational, and they refused
me. Then l applied to the Presbyteri
an seminaries, and they were very dig
nilied and exclusive. | applied to four
teen i'm all, and at last found a univer-
sity in Boston which accepted me as a
student. Oberlin College allowed me
to study languages, and the professors
thought that they were doing a great
thing for me, and said that no other
church would do. so much. l have a
year more to stay in Boston, when eX-
pect to apply to the MethodiSts for Ii

Miss Oliver is the daughter of Mr..
Snowden, of this city. Her true name
is Annie Olivia Snowden; but as she
was known as Miss Oliver among the
crusaders, she clings to the latter name.

A Clerks Story.

tell you there was some tall stories told
in praise of goods, about that time; but
the tallest talker, and the one who had
the most cheek of any of us, was GER
tain Jonah GuireS, who rOOmed with
me. He could talk dollar out of
mans pocket when the man only IN
tended to spend a six-pence, and the
women-Lord bless you-they Just
handed over their pOcket-books to him
and let him lay out what he liked for
them. One night Jonah woke me up

Two Farmers.

The two farmers farms lay side by
side. One of these farmers | will call
Farmer A, the other Farmer b. Now
there was always a wide difference In
these two farmers crops. So, one day
Farmer A goes to Farmer b and says: ::
s'See mere, neighbOr, | want you to tell
me how it happens you always have
such superior crops to mine, with only
the fence between our crops; Ior know
nv farm is composed OF as good soil as
yours, and why is it?" ''Why," says
Farmer b, s'the difference is but avery
small matter, and can be told in a very
few words: 1 always start to my work
on the farm, and say to my boys,
'Come on, boys, let's go to work :
while you always say, go on, boys, to
YOUR work, , at the same time you start
off to some neighboring village or city,
where YOU spend the day loafng about
saloons, gambling hells, crOquet
grounds, etc. Thus you while away
your time day after day, not knowing
or caring very much whether the work
is going on at home or not, while am
on the farm with the boys, encouraging
them to take an interest in the work OF
farming by helping them. 1t Is ma
tural consequence, where the father
does not encourage the boys by helping
them, for the boys to think, We'll, if
father don't take any interest OIL the
farm. what's the use for us boys to both
or our heads about it?' Therefore the
BOYS either go carelessly or not at all
about their work. "
Fathers, encourage your boys to work
by going along with them and helping
them Indiana Farmer.

Andrew JOhnSOn's Economy.

Andrew johnson was very close and
saving in money transactions, carrying
the economy he learned in the severe
school of poverty almost to an extreme.
His stvle of life at Greenville was ex-
ceedinglv simple and nOn-expensiye, re-
minding one of the first days OF the Re
public, and, we may add, the better
days. He would often say: MY
wants are few and easily supplied. y
When he retired from the Presidency he
had saved from his salary and interest
accumulations S65, 600. This he de-
posited in the First National Bank at
Washington, H. ID. Cooke, President,
upon an agreement to pay him D per
cent. interest. He did not even draw
out the interest, and when the Cookies
exploded he had in their bank S73 900,
the increase being the result of interest
accumulations. OF this sum he receiv-
ed about 55 per cent. and the last time
[ saw him he told me that he meant to
have the rest if there was any law in the
United States that would reach the case. 3.

Remarkable Changes in the Earth's
Surface.

1t has been proved that the whole Pa
cific coast, especially California, with
all its mountains, is perpetually rising,
and that at a comparatively rapid rate.
The land containing in its bosom our
great American lakes is slOwl Y sinking
while Southern Indiana, Kentucky and
the surrounding States, are rising.
Geological investigations prove that our
great lakes, except Ontario, had form
erly a southern outlet; until, by gradual
northern depressions and southern up
heavals, a northern outlet was formed
from Lake Erie into Ontario, about 40
600 years ago. The outlet, the Niagara
River, is still wearing away its channel.
The division line of the watershed south
of the lakes and the Mississippi valley
has since that time been steadily travel
ling southwark; and when Chicago re-
Gently turned the waters of Lake Michi-
gan, through the Chicago River into
the Mississippi valley, the old state of
things was artiicially re-established.
New Jersey is sinking, with New York
City and and Long Island, at the esti-
mated rate of about sixteen inches per
century. The coast of Texas is ascend
ing at comparatively rapid rate, some
observers stating that it is as much as
thirty or forty feet in the last half CEN
tury.
Combining these observations with
the results of the recent deep soundlngs
of the United States steamer Tuscarora
in the Pacific ocean, we fond that the
bed is evidently. sunken continent,
abounding in volcanic mountains, some
y 200 feet high, many of them not
reaching the surface of the ocean, and
others, which do so, forming the num-
berleSs islands of the Pacific. The
study of the coral rock proves that this
sinking has continually been taking
place during several centuries, and OBJ
Servations of the coast will undoubtedly
reveal the fact that it has not ceased.
The most eminent German geologists
and ethnolOgists now maintain that the
locality of mans primitive organ, the
seat of the socalled paradise, was in the
Pacific ocean south of Asia, whence the
race slowly diffiused itself northward to
Asia, westward to Africa, and eastward
to Australia. When the great Pacific
continent slowly sank, so that the ocean
commenced filling the valleys, man re-
treated to the mountains, which, by
continued sinking, were transformed
into islands, and now form the many
groups of Polynesia. The insularity of
the thus preserved races was not pro-
ductive of civilization, which requires
conflict, in which the superiors in the
end gain the victory over the interiors.
In those islands the inferior races were
preserved for want of this conflict,
hence their savage condition even at the
present day; while primitively the
greatest advance took place at the spot
of the most intense conflict, the conti-
nent of Southern Asia. a.-Scientifc Amer-

A Horrible Death.

1t is doubtful if there has ever been
reported in these columns a death so
terrible as that of John SchOven, which
took place at No. 123 Forsyth Street
Monday evening.
He was German, over seventy years
of age. He lived with his daughter, a
young woman of eighteen, at the ad-
dress given above. For some time back
he had been in feeble health, his dis
ease being of a nervous character,
which required the administration Of
narcotics to produce sleep and rest.
Hydrate of chloral was the drug pre-
scribed by his physician. 1t was kept
in little closet along with other bot
ties, among which was small vial,
containing creosote. On Monday even
ing Mr.. Schoven, feeling i'll at ease, re-
quested his daughter to bring him the
narcotic. The bottle containing it and
that which held the creosote were pre-
cisely the same in form and size and al
so in generalappearan Neither bot
tie was labeled. The daughter, in
stead of bringing the old man the mar
cote, brought him the creosOte, and
he, equally ignorant, poured out a
spoonful and swallowed it.
The next moment the old man threw
up his hands in terror and consterna-
ton, crying, ''My God have made
a mistake. I'm burning up. Help!
for Gods sake, helpi'' The fumes of
the creosote at once led the girl to real
ize the situation, and crying and wiring
ing her hands she rushed frantically in
to the street and accosted an officer,
