HEIGHT or FHE WATER.

The waGsr here was four feet below the
food Of 1867; at jasper it was only two
feet below; at Knoxville it was several feet
higher. The work done by the government
on the suck modified the food materially
here. WeshouldprobablY have had as much
water here as We had in 1867 but for the
additional channel cut at that shOal. The
modification Of the channel by dams and
other appliances for the benefit Of naviga-
ton during low water, between here and
Knoxville, probably contributed something
to the unprecedented high water at thai
place.

VERY SAD INDEED.-As a Council
Bluffs woman was doing her washing,
one of her children fell into kettle OF
water. The mother seized the infant,
whose heart rending cries indicated the
terrible nature of its injuries, and depos-
tied it on bed, while she ran to neigh
Dor to get him to run for doctor. Be
fore the doctor arrived all the neighbors
had gathered, and among them had un-
dressed the screaming infant very care
fully, so that the scalded skin should not
peel off, and sprinkled it with flour. AT
length the doctor arrived, reaching the
door at the same moment with the terror
stricken husband, whom also the messen-
ger had found and hidden to 90 home
and prepare for the saddest news" The
doctor made a careful examination of
the infant, and promptly advised the
mother to put shirt or something on
on the child SO that it might not freeze
to death. The assembled neighbors, one
after another, felt of the water in the
kettle, found it icy cold, and quietly de-
parted.

A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF FIRES. "A
London Journal states that when oxide
of iron is placed in contact with timber
excluded from the atmosphere, and aid
ed by slightly increased temperature,
the oxide parts with its oxygen, and is
converted into very divided particles of
metallic iron, having such an affinity for
oxygen that, when exposed to the action
of the atmosphere from any cause, the
gas is absorbed SO rapidly that these par
ticles become red hot, and if in sufficient
quantity will produce temperature far
beyond the ignitable point of dry timber.
Whenever, therefore, iron pipes are en-
ployed for the circulation of hot water,
air or steam, and when in close contact
with timber, are allowed to become rus
ty, it is only necessary to suppose that
under these circumstances the finely di-
vided particles of metallic iron become
exposed to the action of the atmosphere,
in order to account for many of the fires
which take place at the commencement
of the winter season.

OFFICIAL RTNGMARoLE. The Tower
Of London is locked up every night at
II o'clock. As the clock strikes that
hour the yeoman porter, clothed in a
long red cloak, bearing huge bunch OF
keys and accompanied by warder car
rying lantern, stands at the front of
the main guard house and calls out,
" Escort Keys" The sergeant of the
guard and five or six men then turn out
and follow him to the outer gates, each
sentry challenging as they pass with
Who goes there the answer being
" Keys The gates being carefully
locked and barred, the procession returns,
the sentries exacting the same explana-
tion and receiving the same answer as
before. Arrived once at the front of the
main guard house, the sentry gives a
loud stamp with his foot and asks, "Who
goes there ?" &" Keys" Whose KEYS }"
"Queen Victoria's keys" Advance,
Queen Victoria's keys, and all's we'll" :"
The yeoman porter then calls out, "God
bless Queen Victoria" To which our
guard responds, Amen" The officer
on duty gives the word, =" Present arms, !"
and kisses the hilt of his sword, and the
yeoman porter then marches alone across
the parade and deposits the keys in the
lieutenant's lodgings.

How To CURE INTEMPERANcE.- The
passion of drink must be supplanted by
higher passions, higher indulgences.
Those who drink and reform have an
emptiness which must be filled. This
vacancy must uot be left. BY supply
ing the man with higher enjoyments
more can be done than by legislation. If
by legislation intemperance could sud
denly be turned away, unhappy lives
and homes converted into better and
sweeter ones, there is left that passion
which drink has supplied More must
be done. Strength of will must be sup
piled by arousing the better and high
er passions. Life would thus be made
better, happier and richer if every means
of social and intellectual culture and
pleasure were used to fill the vacancy
left by the want of that stimulus which
filled it. If knew any young man who
thought wanted to rescue himself from
the power of drink, / would urge him to
confess before God, and before his own
soul, and before his fellow men, that he
will never drink again. But after that
is done | should endeavor to fill his life
full of other and better interests. |
would try and introduce him to culture
or in other ways to help him to better
and more earnest life, and finally /
would bring religion to bear upon him,
not the religion which is restraint. but
which is satisfaction. In dealing with
the drunkards | would advise those
working with them to not stop with get
ting them to sign the pledge, but to fol-
low them until they are sure their lives
are full. More sympathy should be ex-
pressed and shown, in order that the feel
ing of degradation may be less keen in
the unfortunates. They should have in
fiuences, social, sympathetic and relig-
ious, thrown around them. The power
of the will must be restored, and it can
be brought about by the Transporting of
a man to a higher life. Rev, Philips
Brooks.

lies, he seems, like other great inventors,
to have lost much Of his reputation by
the continual improvements that have
been made upon him. S'cif.
The most intangible, and therefore the
worst, kind of a lie is half truth. This
is the peculiar device of "conscien-
tious detractor.- Washington AHston,
No lie you can speak or act, but it
will come, after longer or shorter circu-
lation, like bill drawn on Natures re-
ality, and be presented there for pay
ment-with the answer; No effects
Carlyle
Habitual liars invent falsehoods not to
gain any end or even to deceive their
hearers, but to amuse themselves. 1t is
partly practice and partly habit. 1t
requires an effort in them to speak the
truth. Hazlia.
Lying is disgraceful vice, and one
that Plutarch paints in most disgraceful
colors, when he says that it is " affording
testimony that one first despises God,
and then fears men," 1t is not possible
more happily to describe its horrible,
disgusting, and abandoned nature; for
can we imagine anything more vile than
to be towards with regard to men, and
brave with regard to GodE-M Montague
A lie has no legs, and cannot stand;
but it has wings, and can fly far and
wide.- Warbarton.
The gain of lying is nothing else but
not to be trusted of any, nor to be be-
lieved when we say the truth.-Sir Val
ter Raleigh
After tongue has once got the knack
of lying, it is not to be imagined how
impossible, almost, it is to reclaim it.
Whence it comes to pass, that we see
some men, who are otherwise very hon.
est, so subject to this vice. Montague.
When thou art obliged to speak, be
sure to speak the truth for equivocation
is half way to lying, and lying is the
whole way to hell William Penn.
He who has not good memory should
never take upon him the trade of lying.
Montague.
Lord, Lord, how this world is given to
lying !-Shakespeare
He who tells lie is not sensible how
great task he undertakes for he must
be forced to invent twenty more to main
tain one.-Pope.
Truth is always consistent with itself,
and needs nothing to help it out it is
always near at hand, sits upon our lips,
and is ready to drop out before we are
aware; lie is troublesome, and sets
mans invention upon the rack, and one
trick needs a great many more to make
it good. 1t is like building upon false
foundation, which continually stands in
need of props to shore it up, and proves
at last more chargeable than to have
raised substantial building at first up
on true and solid foundation. add

Horace Greeley in Jail.

One of the most ludicrous incidents of
Horace Greeley's only trip to Europe,
was his getting into Jail. He was one Of
the American Commissioners at the Paris
exposition of Industry, and whenin Paris
was arrested on complaint of French
sculptor, who had sent statute to the
Worlds Fair in New York City. Mr..
Greeley had been one of the managers
of this fair, and the artist asserted that
his statute had been injured, and held
Mr.. Greeley responsible for three thous-
and dollars damages. The bailiffs would
not let Horace go unless three thousand
dollars were deposited as security. 1t
was late when he was arrested and his
friends checks ON the banks were not
satisfactory, as the bailifs could not
draw the money till the next day.
There was no escape and he was put
in prison, breathing maledictions on the
French police, and French law in gener.

spirits, and said to a visitor, This has
been one of the most fortunate incidents
of my life. Without it, doubt if ever
should have had the opportunity to see
good society. Scarcely had l arrived

delegation of aristocrats and invited to

AFRICAN CUSTOMS. s.-Before the house
is usually post, on which are hung the
trophies of the hunt, such as horns of
antelopes, skulls of animals and men,
and horribleto say, dried hands and feet.
These proclaim to the world how great a
warrior is the owner, and, in part, answer
the purposes that fine houses and clothes
do with us.
When two friends meet they do not
shake hands, but join their middle fin
gers in such way that the joints crack,
while they nod at each other, more as if
in disgust as it looks to a white man
than in friendly greeting.
If they find hollow tree in which
wild bees have laid up honey, they at
once smoke the bees stupid, and eat hon
ey, wax, bees, and all Indeed they eat
several things that we would not like.
The children in some parts of Africa eat
rats and field mice, which they catch by
means of baskets woven in form of long
tubes. They are laid fiat on the ground,
near the mouse holes, and then the little
savages begin great noise of stamping,
shouting and slapping of hands. The
poor little animals are frightened, and
run into the traps for safety, and are
easily taken. They are then tied by the
tails in punches of dozen or so, as you
have seen children tie cherries, and bar
tered with each other as choice morsels.
Sometimes they use them as bats to catch
cats-roast cat being favorite dish.
They build small huts of twisted reeds
