SCHOOL-ROOM PERILS.
che Slaughter OF the Innocent.

che Slaughter of the Innocents.
DR.. Ricard McSherry, of Baltimore,
has an article in the SanitariGn for this
month on the above subject. He charges
that g the local authorities of cities and
very largely throughout the country,
out-Herod Herod in the slaughter of the
innocents." There is no bloodshed,
indeed, in the beginning, but there is,
he says, ''towards the end, in various
forms of hemorrhage." In speaking of
schools for girls he expresses the opinion
that the evils of the school-room ssoften
tend to the extinguishment of families. "
He adds, and the reasoning applies in
the main to children of both sexes:
"What else can be expected when
young children are imprisoned for long
and weary hours, day after day and year
after year, in close and sitting school
rooms, where the air is hebitually SO foul
IS to be exceedingly offensive to any one
entering from without, though unnoticed
by those within who are breathing it
over and over again? A lady who is
fond Of plants and flowers, and has but
small space for cultivating them, say
in window-gardening finds that her
favorites require a goodly quantity of
sun and air to thrive, which she seeks
for them accordingly, while she sends
those more tender plants, the children,
to horrid scool-room, whence the rays
OF the sun are excluded, while the arti-
fcial heat, often loaded itself with coal
gas or carbonic oxide, is made mephitic
with carbonic acid from many breaths,
and all the exhalations that
arise from miscellaneous crowd
of helpless and innocent little prisoners.
This is not matter of comfort or dis
comfort, but more clearly matter of
| life or death with the children. What
| is the good of all the learning, such as it
is, acquired in the school room, and by
gas light at home, to a young girl who
has spinal curvature and perpetual
headache, and weak chest, and indi-
gestion, and fabby muscles, and, in
short, universal delicacy in every part OF
her organism? How is she prepared
for the wear and tear Of life duties, and
what kind of help-meet is she going to
make2 The evil is a crying one it is
fraught with ruin, yet scarcely any but
few medical men seem to appreciate
its importance"
What is the remedy? Clever hours
at school" he says, "and fewer studies
at any one time" Frequent changes OF
position and air; brief recess every
hour to relieve the mental tension, stretch
the cramped limbs, and enable the schol-
ars to take in good inspirations of fresh
air.
"Let the school-room be cleared
every hour, and thoroughly ventilated
while the children plav fora few minutes
in the open air in good weather, or I'M
der shelter while it rains. The shelter
should be provided, no matter what the
cost. Life and learning are of little
worth without health, but learning and
health would both be promoted by these
measures"

A Warm for the Marines.

A Philadelphia dispatch says: Capt.
West, q submarine operator, was at work
on the hulk Of the sunken ronsides, off
the League Island Navy Yard, on Tues
day, trying to blow the hulk to pieces.
He charged it with $50 pounds of double
strength powder. When this was fired,
it blew piece Of iron weighing nearly a
ton twenty feet into the air. In its de
scent it struck barge several hundred
yards away, and went through its deck
and bottom. The barge was loaded with
iron plates and chains from the Iron
sides, and it went down like flash.
When the barge touched the bottom, i
careened, dumped it's load, and instantly
rose to the surface again, thus saving the
lives of the workmen on board. The
whole time occupied less than minute. y

Death ON Snakes.

A few days since boy, son of Mr..
Osborne, residing near West Salem,
Wis, went out to gather blackberries on
a bluff near his home. He set his bas-
ket down for a moment, when his eye
fell on two rattlesnaks summing them
selves near by. He dispatched both in
short order, and went 60 take up his bas-
ket when he, heard rattles again. A
glance just beyond the basket revealed
four more coiled up near each other.
Undaunted, he commenced the wal
again, and did not leave the field till he
had slaughtered all. But he had hao
enough Of blackberrying for that day, as
instead of lot of berries, he gathered
up his half dozen rattlesnakes, put them
in his basket, and triumphantly carried
them home as trophies of youthful valor

A SWIndIer Captured.

A remarkably successful adventurer
has been arrested in Philadelphia. His
last assumed name was Chalnotte, but
his real name is unknown to the police,
and his most recent exploits were per-
formed as a brother of Don Carlos. His
general plan was to firt with women,
induce them to compromise themselves
in some trifing way, and then blackmail
them. His good looks, education, and
intelligence enabled him to make sur
prising number Of dupes. Letters from
over thirty women and girls were found
in his trunk. This year he made
round OF the watering places, and when
caught was operating at the Centennial
Exhibition. A sensible woman exposed

even waited for one marksman to go
home after his revolver. and the only

who had pawned his pistol and wanted
the fugitive to wait until he could Sc

He hadn't time to wait, but he conpro-

Methodism invaded Germany in 1849.
It has now 481 preaching stations;
cheap chapels worth about $500, 900;
the annual collections are nearly $40, 900;
their theological seminary at Frankfort
has sent out sixty-one young preachers;
and the publishing house at Bremen
issues to subscribers four different pa

unfriendly German paper which gives
these facts adds that "the movement is

OUR OLD MAID.

Her .iuglcts fall around her brow
TO hide the wrinkles burrows,
Her cheeks she painteth every hour
To mask old ages burrows.
Her form she clads in fashions style
And wears the biggest bustles,
And corsets laced up all the while
As tight as shells of musses.
Both bow'rs she oflentmes has played
Bat sobs would always choke Ter,
For when trick she thought she had
There came that little joker.
Right bad she's played her little game,
Her life now seems to show il,
Hearts may he trumps, lis all the same,
Alone she'll have TO go it.
She fingered long upon the shore
OF ma,rmony's river,
But past her sped each gallant beau,
Aud would no voyage give Ter.
Once in while little bark
Would head its way straight to her,
And seeing she was but shark
No bait was thrown to WOO her.
No fish she's caught, her heart has sank,
But still she will not wander,
She fingers yet upon the bank,
III luck has raised her dander.
She puts no bait upon her hook,
Her line has lost its sinker,
She gives it yet one last hard jerk
And crazy now we think 'er.
And now Wiener she sees some lass
Who is a skilllul fisher,
She will not let the moment pass
And only bad luck wish 'er.
But when she sees she's got bite
She jumps into the water,
And though to sink she is too light
She scares the fish about 'er.
hope these lines may catch her eye
And teach to her lesson,
And tell her that her times gone by
And gone without bessin;
And that her mouth is better shut
Than meddling with all others,
And better leave that ugly rut
Which interieres with lovers.

occurs the subioned trenchant descrip-

the figure of an old writer, Macaulay's
prose is not like flowing vestment to
