Crack Shots OF KeOkuk.

A Keokuk darkey was caught in the
act of robbing deck passenger on the
Rob Roy, early Saturday morning. The
robber broke away and ran, but all Keo-
kuk turned out with revolvers and shot
at him. Tons of lead whistled in the air
and fell in the streets, and the unscathed.
accommodating shade gave every man a
chance that wanted a crack at him. He
even waited for one marksman to 90
home after his revolver. and the only
request he refused was that of a man
who had pawned his pistol and wanted
the fugitive to wait until he could Sc
his dog and get his artillery out of soak.
He hadn't time to wait, but he compro-
missed by letting this man throw q brick
at him. Then the robber departed, and
keokuk put away its guns and went to
sleep to dream about the mutability of
human affairs aid the uncertainty of
pistol practice.-Burlington (fa)

sCHooL.RooM pERILs.



DIR. Ricard McSherry, of Baltimore,
has an article in the Sanitaridn for this
month on the above subject. He charges
that 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 tho end, in various
forms of hemorrhage." In speaking of
schools for girls he expresses the opinion
that the evils of the school-room soften
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 habitually 80 foul
as 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
a 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-
fetal 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 q 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 a perpetual
headache, and weak chest, and indi-
gestion, and fabby muscles, and, in
short, universal delicacy in every part of
her organisms How is she prepared
for the wear and tear of life duties, and
what kind of a help-meet is she going to
makel The evil is crying one it is
fraught with ruin, yet scarcely any but
few medical men seem to appreciate
its Importance"
What is the remedy? "Fewer 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-
airs to take in good inspirations of fresh
air.
"Let the school-room be cleared
every hour, and thoroughly ventilated
while the children plar for few minutes
in the open air in good weather, or um-
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 Yarn for the Marines.

A Philadelphia dispatch says: "Capt.
West, submarine operator, was at work
on the hulk Of the sunken Ironsides, 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 it's de-
scent it struck a 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 a flash.
When the barge touched the bottom, It
careened, dumped its load, and instantly
rose to the surface again, thus saving the
lives of the workmen on board. The
whole time occupied less than a minute"

.fBciow isa rranarkabs .tfterary curiosity IN the
shape OF a medley OF distinguished poems. IL is
nearly the equal OF ths one no sg iSnols which is TO
the beautiful in measure. This Is arrangement
of souie fourteen months stady. of the various
authors Of England aud America, living and dead.
The reader will notice that each line Is quotation
from some one OF the standard poets of America and
England II embraces the words of thirty-eight
different poets. The number Of each line refers TO
1. Why all this toll for trIumphs OF an hour?
g Lies short summer, man a flower;
3. BY turns we catch the vital breath and die
A. The cradle and the tomb alas! so nigh.
g. To be is far better than not to be-
8. Though all man life seems tragedy
{. But light cares speak, when mighty griefs are
e. The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
3. Your fate is but the common fate of all;
10. Unmingled joys here to no man fall
Al. Nature to each alots here proper sphere.
IT, Fortune makes folly he- peculiar care;
rs Custom does not often reason override,
IA Aud throw cruel sunshine on fool.
rs. Live well-how long or short permit to heaven
Id. They who forgive most shall he most forgiven.
II. sin may be elapsed so close we cannot see it
faoe-
I8. Vile intercourse where virtue has not place;
~. Then keep each passion down. however dear,
20. Thou pendulum betwixt smile and tear
81 Her sensual snares let faithlsss pleasure lay,
~. With craft and skill, to ruin and betray;
%. Soar not too high TO fall, but stoop to rise;
"a. We masters grow OF all that we despise.
Is. Oh, then, renounce that impious self-esteem!
26. Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream.
n. Think not ambition wise because tits brave;
%. TIE paths Of glory lead but to the grave.
% what's ambition? IT'S glorious cheat,
80. DULY destructive TO the brave and great.
81. What's all the gaudy glitter of q clown?
81. The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
So How long we live not years but actions tell;
81 That lives twice who lives the first life well

The amount of sickness and suffering
THAI has prevailed among the little chill
dren of the poor during the past two
months far exceed anything wit

days of last month a child under 5
years of age died in this city every tif-

A Swindler 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 brother of Don Carlos. His
general plan was to firt with women,
induce them to compromise themselves
in some trifling way, and then blackma'l
them. His good looks, education, and
intelligence enabled him to make a sur
prising number of dupes. Letters from
over thirty women and girls were found
in his trunk. This year he made a
round of the watering places, and when
caught was operating at the Centennial
Exhibition. A sensible woman exposed

Death on Snakes.

A few days since a boy, son of Mr..
Osborne, residing near West Salem,
Wis, went out to gather blackberries on
q 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 TO 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 war
again, and did not leave the field till he
had slaughtered all. But he had had
enough of blackberrying for that day, as
instead of lot of berries, he gathered
up his half dozen rattlesnakes, put them
in his basket, aud triumphantly carried
them home as trophies of youthful valor.

Methodism In Germany.

Methodism invaded Germany in lS49.
1t has now 481 preaching stations;
cheap chapels worth about $500, 600;
the annual collections are nearly SAC, 0OO;
their theological seminary at Frankfort
has sent out sixty-one young preachers;
and the publishing house at Bremen
issues to subscribers four different pa
pers, aggregsting 10000 copies. The
nnfriendly German paper which gives
these facts adds that "the movement Is
producing great confusion with weak
heads"
