Prevention Of Fire.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

Keep matches in metal boxes, and out
of the reach of children wax matches
are particularly dangerous, and should
be kept out of the way of rats and mice.
Be careful in making fires with shavings
and other light kindlings. Do not de-
post ashes in wooden vessel, and be
sure that burning cinders are extin-
guished before they are deposited.
Never put frewood upon the stove to
dry, and never put ashes or light I'M
der staircase. Fill fluid or spirit Cor
kerosene) lamps only by daylight, and
never near a fire or light. Do not leave
candle burning on bureau or chest.
Never. throw cigar stump on the floor,
or into spit-box containing sawdust or
trash, without being certain that it con-
tains no fire. After blowing out can
die, never put it away until sure that the
snuff has gone entirely out. A lighted
candle ought not to be stuck up against
frame wall or placed upon any portion
of the woodwork in q stable, manufac-
tory, shop, or any other place. Never
enter barn or stable at night with an
uncovered light. Never take an open
light to examine a gas-meter. Do not
put gas OF OGA0r 1lguGS u0af cufGaluS.
Never take light into closet. Do
not read in bed, either by candle or
ampight.
The principal register Of furnace
should always be fastened open. Stove
pipes should be at least four inches from
wood work, and well guarded by tin or
zinc rags ought never to be stuffed
into stove-pipe holes openings into
chimney fues for stove-pipes which are
not used ought always to be securely
protected by metallic coverings. Never
close up a place of business in the even
ing without looking well to the extin-
guishment of light and the proper Sc
curity of the fires. When retiring to
bed at night, always see that there is no
danger from your fires, and be sure that
your lights are safe.

A Narrow EScane.

Mr.. TEL. Taylor, VINO brought the news

he discovered 40 Sioux driving a herd
of about 100 buffalo up the valley, and,
not wishing to have trouble with them,

first thing he knew, whiz went an arrow
near his person, when, looking in an
opposite direction from the Indians with
the buffalo, he saw an Indian about go
yards from him deliberately drawing on
him for shot, and, still beyond, several
other Indians. He then made dash

A Remarkable Piece of ALTERATION.

A Remarkable Piece of ALTERATION.
"ScRANToN, Pa, June 8, 1876.-Can
you inform me where | will find, what L
thought in my youth, some forty years
ago, a wonderful piece of ALTERATION,
commencing
San Austrian army, awfully arrayed
Boldly by battle besieged Belgrade.
Respectfully, SUBSCRIBERS CLERK"
Reply-The date of the above will
give an indication of the research we
have made after the authorship. We
found il at last, with statement that the
author was unknown, and that it was
first published anonymously in Bentley
Miscellany for March, 1888. But as, in
our researches, we had found still ear
lier trace of it, we were not satisfied with
this, and we found it at page 244 OF the
Hampshire Magazine, published at
Winchester in 1923, with the following
heading "These lines having been in
correctly printed in London publica-
ton, we have been favored by the author
with an authentic copy of them:
Gan Austrian army, awfully arrayed
Boldly by battery beseiged Belgrade;
Cossack commanders cannonading come,
Dealing distinctions devastating doom.
Every endeavor engineers essay
For fame, for fortune-fghting, furious fray
Generals gainst Generals grapple-gracious God
How honors heaven heroic hardihood!
Infuriate, indisCrmlnate in all,
Kinsmen kill kinsmen--kinsmen kindred kill!
Labor low levels loftiest, longest lines;
Men march mid mounds, mid nloles, mid murder
Gus Mines
Now noisy, noxous numbers notice naught
Of outward obstacles opposing ought;
Poor patriots, partly purchased, partly pressed,
Quite quaking, quickly quarter, quarter quest,
Reason returns, religious right resounds,
Suwarrow stops such sanguinary sounds,
Truce to thee TIlrkey-triumph to thy train
Unjust, unwise, unnerciful Ukraine!
Vanish vain victory vanish victory vain!
Why wish we warfare? Wherefore welcome we
Xerxes Ximenes Xanthus, Xaviere?
Yield, We youths We yeomen, yield your yell
Zeno's Zarpatus', Zoroaster's zeal,
And all attractng-arms against appeal"
The authors name is not given, but a
distinguished critic at a later date
ascribed the lines to Rev. B. Poulter,
prebendary of Winchester. -NeaO York

pursuit and shooting, when he discov-
cred high rock, perpendicular on all
sides and inaccessible except at one
place, which a man well armed as he
was could defend against a good many
Indians. Abandoning his horse, he i'm
mediately assembled and took possession
of the rock, which afforded him protec-
ton against the Indians, who spent the
rest of the day in shooting at him and
trying to catch his horse, but failed. At
sunset they left, when he came down
from his covert on the rock, easily
caught his horse (Which is good one),
mounted him, and continued his journey
night and day, arriving at Fort Ellis on
the third day from starting.-Bo@emadaa

esRIack.Eyed Susan.,s

Gay wrote this well-known ballad on
Mrs. Montford, a celebrated actress,
contemporary with Cibber. After her
retirement from the stage, love, and the
ingratitude of bosom friend, deprived
her of her senses, and she was placed in
q receptacle for lunatics. One day, dur
ing a lucid interval, she asked her at
tendant what play was to be performed
that evening, and was told that it was
"Hamlet. T" In this tragedy, while on
the stage, she had ever been received
with rapture in Ophelia. The recollec-
ton struck her. and, with that cunning
which is so often allied to insanity, she
eluded the care of her keepers and got
to the theater, where she concealed her
self until the scene in which OpheEa
enters in her insane state she then
pushed on the stage before the lady who
had performed the previous part of the
character could come on, and exhibited
a more perfect representation of mad
ness than the utmost exertions of mimic
art could effect. She was In truth
OpheIia herself, to the amazement of the
performers and the astonishment of the
audience. Nature having made this last
effort, her vital powers failed her. Or
going off she exclaimed, cit is all over. :
She was immediately conveyed back to
her late place of security, and a few
days after,
Like lily dropping
Bowed her head and died.

Educational Progress in the Last Hum
Gl'ed Years.

Educational progress during the past
century was the theme of an interesting
address by William E. Phelps, of Vino
ma, MINI, at last weeks session OF the
National Educational Association In Bal
timore. In 1776, there were but nine
colleges in the United States now there
are 400 colleges and universities, with
$1,000 students and 3, 700 professors and
teachers Then little or nothing was done
for the education of women; now there are
200 female seminaries, with %, AS stu
dents and 2,285 teachers. At that time
professional schools were unknown now
there are 1872 professional schools, with
%, $50 students and 2, 400 teachers. Then
there were no commercial colleges now
there are 1877, with 1892 students and
SIT teachers. The secondary and pre-
paratory schools were almost unknown
then now there are l, 122, with 100, 593
pupils and 6,163 teachers. The school
population of that day is unknown, but
at present it is more than Is, GOO, 900, and
the school enrolment now amounts to
5000, 600. The total income of the pub
lie schools at present is 1882, 100000 ex-
penditures, $75,000,000 value of prop
erty, $165, 100000. These figures are
very eloquent as showing what has been
accomplished, but the following extract
from the report is quite as eloquent in
showing that much yet remains to be
done before the whole field of education
is fully occupied and developed The
number of illiterates by the census of
1870 above the age of 10 years was, in
round numbers, 100000 Of these,
more than 10000 were adults up
ward of 1900, 900 more were from Is to
81 years of age, and 1,000,0 900 were be-
tween 10 and Is years old. Of the num-
Der between Is and q years, it is esti-
mated that about one-half have passed
the opportunity for education and,
since it is well understood that large
portion of the children in this country
leave the schools perhaps at an average
age of 10 to II years, the conclusion IS
irresistible that tens Of thousands Of
those who are reported as illiterate be-
tween 10 and Is years of age will forever
remain so. Of the 100000 illiterate per-
sons between Is and 81 years of age,
who have passed their opportunities for
instruction, 1877, 900 are in the Northern
States, Is, 900 in the Pacific, and IT'S, 900
