the second OF January between the Sioux
And,ans under Sitting Bull and the garrison
ct Fort Prase, in which q great many In

heles of virtu saved from the fire of 1865,
when llampton's fathers home was burned
at the same time as his own silver and cloth

having only their dressing gowns; and Gen.

clothing, except those he had on. The only
thing saved was a bust of General Hampton

Plebians at College.

This is sample of the ''hazing" for
which a number Of silly young fellows
have Just been expelled from the naval
academy at Annapolis: "A third-class
cadet, backed by several Of his mates,
would enter the room OF 'pleb' and
address him thus: i am an ugly fel.
low don't you think soF OF course
the pleb would declare that he thought
him a very handsome fellow. Then,
SAYS the third classman, you mean TO
call me a liar The trembling boy
would humbly assert he meant nothing
OF that kind, but the fellow would grab
him by the neck and heels, declaring he
would throw him out of the third-story
window. Dragging him TO the window,
he would thrust the frightened pleb Just
far enough out to make him believe that
the least jar or movement would precipi-
tate him TO the pavement below. After
being hauled in he is placed between
two mattresses and an Indian war-dance

Mr.. Magnus condemns the use of blue
glass ss a protection for the eyes, and
prefers the gray and smoky glasses used
in England. He considers blue glass,
especially, irritating to the eye, and says
that many birds, reptiles, and amphibians,
have yellow or reddish oil-drops ia the
eye.
In a work on the Voices Of Ami
mails" by Landois, additional evidence
is collected OF the universally of vocal
sounds among the lower animals, includ-
ing the Molusca. The auther considers
il to be indisputsble that ants possess a

to exercise those higher mental faculties
to which they owe their high social or
ganizatien.
Prof. Maurice Schnif, of Florence,
Las demonstrated that the non-cdiblc
mushrooms, toad-stools," contain a
compon poison, musoarine, and that its
effects are counteracted by either afro
pine or daturine. Italian apothecaries
now keep these drugs in rural districts,
where the consumption Of non-edible
fungi is apt to occur. The hint is worthy
of attention everywhere.
Prof. Clark Maxwell explains how an
ounce of air, in a closed and fragile jar,
sustains the outside pressure Of the at
mosphcre amounting to several tons !;
this he does by the theory that the
ounce OF air is made up Of molecules
which have 50 rapid motion among
themselves that they collide on the in
side of the jar with as great force as
that OF the atmospheric pressure exter-
nally.

Higher Aims in Journalism.

No one known better than the editors
and proprietors of respectable newspa-
pers the Injurious effect upon journalism
which reckless and sensational editors
have recently wrought. There is a GER
tain class Of newspapers which live by this
styleof defamatory writing. They are ut
terly reckless in their statements have
no regard ior private character, no ven
Grafton for ood and holy things, and no
respect for exalted virtues and pure lives.
Whatever will produce sensation and
sell papers they are ready and anxious to
publish. But the journals of this char
actor are few. Asa rule, the newspapers
of to-day seek to be fair and honest, are
conscientiously conducted by men of
high character and COED standing in so
ciety, whose mission Is TO fairly and
honestly chronicle the current news of
the day, and to intelligently comment
thereon. Unfortunately for respectable
journalism, the public sympathizes with
and demands the reckless and sensational
style. Journals which make it busi-
ness from day to day to assail and traduce
private character; to conspicuously
parade, with exaggerated headlines, III
the criminal acts of the depraved classes
to gloat over murderers and nssassina
tions; to depict in seductive Language
rapes, indecent assaults and outrages o.
ali kinds, are the journals which circu
late with the greatest freedom among tn,
masses. The public crave sensations, ant

AMOUNTS TO BE ALLOTTED

to each work named, reference has
been made to balances on hand of pre-
vious appropriations for works specified.
All these Improvements, for the contin-
uance of which parts Of the appropria.
tions that have been allotted, are in my
judgment. clearly national allotments
to improvements Of lesser magnitude and
consequence, and indispensably necessary
to protect that already done.
The officers in charge of the improve
ments were notified Of the amounts Of
the allotments, and the works are now
being conducted on this basis.
The report epitomiaod, detailed the
accounts given by the various officers of
river and harbor improvements, etc,
now in progress under their respective

amounts which these officers estimate,
can be proGtsbly expended during the
