CIVIL RleIIrs Too SooN.-The more
ignorant of the colored people seem to
have strange ideas of the Civil Rights bill.
Last week at the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Asylum one of the colored maids put
shawl belonging to one of the pupils ON
her shoulders to wear. Being ordered to
take it off, she said that 1T was as much
hers as anybodys-that the State paid for
it, and that her right to it was as good as
that of the scholar who wore 1.-THE Civ
ilized hill'' being passed, which made State
property common property This extra
ordinary stand taken by an employee was
reported to Capt. Mccoy, the Superintend-
ent, who, after an Investigation, ordered
her to be paid up and discharged. The
Civil Rights bill is not vet passed, but if
it should be, we hope our colored people
will get all such wild ideas of it's benefits
as this. out of their heads. If they do not,
their ignorance will cause them much
trouble.

STONES OF SIZE. Some of the
blocks Of granite used in the con
struction of the treasury building
at Washington are the largest ever
moved in this country, and were all
carried from the eartern part OF
Maine. They were transported to
Washington by water, and, after
their arrival there, moved by OK.
power upon double pully system,
a distance of two miles, to the spot
where they were wanted for use.
The work Of moving them was per.
formed with comparative ease, not
more than eight or ten yoke of OK
en- being employed to move block
of mere than seventy tons weight.
The tluted pillars, great numbers of
which are used in the building, are
forty feet long and weigh fifty tons,
at least. The largest blocks, thirty
to forty feet square and thirty feet
thick, weighed upward of seventy
tons. The facility with which these
large blocks were moved and fixed
in their places was source of Won
derment, and seemed to admiring
spectators to be the perfection of
mechanical skill and ingenuity. And
yet, how insignificant the achieve
ment when compared with the tri-
umphs of ancient art. In the foun.
dation of the great temple of the
sun. at Balbec, may still DE seen,
even in the second course, stones
which are thirty y-seven feet long and
nine feet thick and under these,
about twenty feet from the ground,
three stones which alone occupy
one hundred and eighty-two feet in
length by twelve in height. These
three stones are estimated to weigh
nine hundred tons each.
But we read of aniEgyptian idol
temple, Baris, far surprising this,
in which there was sanctuary COM
posed of siugle block of granite
sixty feet square. This is the larg
est and heavist stone mentioned in
history.

Somebody's Servant Girl.

She stood there leaning wearily
Against tho window frame;
Her face was patient, sad aud sweet,
Her garments coarse and PLAIN;
"Who Is she, pray I" asked FREUD.
The red lips gave CURL
"Really! do not know her name,
She's some ones servant girl"
Again saw her on the street
With bundle trudge along,
Her face was sweet and patient still.
Amid the jostliug throng;
Slowly but chcerfully she moved.
Guarding with watchful care
A market basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
4 man, l thought u gentleman,
Went pushing rudely by.
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
but turning not his eye;
Nor there is no necessity,
Amid that busy whirl,
For him to bo q gentlman-
To somebody's servant girl.n
All. we'll it is that God above
Looks in upon the heart.
And never judges any one
BY just the outer part;
For if the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what tho garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many man and woman fair
by fortune reared and fed.
Who will not linger here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from life,
Beyond the gates of pearl,
Will meet before their Fathers throne
With many servant girl.

A hundred silver.miners had

were crowded around a prairie.hun
ter who sat his pony in the centre o.
the camp, and held up to view a
handsome little boy about three
years old.
Had one of the unkempt grimy

a cool 100000, Peach Gulch could
not have been more excited than
when the hunter rode into camp and
held the boy up to view.

"Whar did ye git him 7"
"Whose che.ild is it'"
"What ye goin' to do with him ~
The hunter handed the hoy down
to the hands held up, dismounted,
and then, while he munched his salt
pork and Johnny cake, he explain
ed:
Fifty miles away, on the broad
prairie.he had come upon the child,
wandering over the grass alone, not
a wagon trail nearer than thirty
miles, and no sign of human life
about. The boy was hollow-eyed
and worn-out, showing that he had
travelled a considerable distance,
and suffered for want Of food and
water.
~ thought it war a wolf when ]
first seed his little white head above
the grass" explained the hunter
''an' it war just luck an chance
that l bore down that way. He
war wild at first, and when 1 gin
him some pervisions he devoured
EN- like he hadn't tasted food for a
week."
"Then it's a real che-ild. is it "
asked big miner, peering into the
boys face.

piled the hunter. "See that blood

cub was overlooked some way and
wandered off. Why the wolves
didn't make meal of him, is more
