followed them, and arrived there just in
time to hear of them in France. From
France he traced them to the north of
Europe, and thence they led him will

other times unheard of for months, to
Constantinople, where they become en-

the Crimean war broke out, Francis en-
listed in the English army as cook, and
served until the end of the war. Some
years thereafter he was in the employ of

charge, and it is said he is living on

Countrifed.

Country homes All, yes Remem-.
ber them, young man and young woman
from the country, when next you hear
that affiicting phrase whispered behind
your back He, or she, is so "coun-
trified all because your shoes are not
tighter than the skin of your feet, be-
cause your gloves will button, and your
clothes are made for comfort Remem-
ber then, what country homes of the
right sort mean. They mean cleanliness
and quiet. Room to live your own life
and think your own thoughts. Immun-
ity from a thousand aches and pains,
that haunt your city friends, and, conse.
quently, longer and happier life. They
mean plenty of blue sky and all the sun
shine you want; and free, sweet winds
and pure waters, and world of other
lovely things, for which the city can fur
nish no equivalent. Think of these
things and perhaps you won't mind so
much being called countrifed"
But this being outwardly countrifed
when the term is well deserved), which
has so much to do with everybody's re-
probation of the epithet, is not thing
which comes exclusively of living out of
the city. 1t is simply one form under
which bad taste, or want of taste, of In
telligence, of a sense of the fitness of
things, manifests itself. He who exhib-
its Lad taste in the country, will not
change his nature by going to the city.
The vulgar are alike vulgar in all places,
aud amid all surroundings. There are
as many opportunities for eultivating
true refinement in the country as there
are in the city. 1t all hinges upon a
persons own degree of intelligence and
selfrespect A true gentleman is neith-
er country-bred nor city-bred. Both are
cosmopolitan. But there is no such
stickler for good taste in externals as
nature. You may read her lessons at
every hour of the day, in every chang
ingand every feeting shadow, from dawn
to dark and if to be countrified means,
among other things, to be in harmony
with nature, then let us glory in it -

Worse than Hazing.

The Yale Freshman had a hard
time of it in the eighteenth century. In
Scribner for April there is an article on
the college, by Henry A. Beers, who
quotes from the old regulations
Every student" runs one of the old
laws, shall be called by his sir name,
except he be the son of nobleman, or
knights eldest son." As between the
college classes, strick subordination
was enforced, and a somewhat laborious
etiquette Prevailed between faculty and
students. The Freshmen were almost
in the condition of Tags in the English
pnblic schools. The following statutes
from book of Freshman Laws seem
incredible, but were gravely meant, and
put in practice
The Freshman, as well as under
graduates, are to be uncovered, and are
forbidden to wear their hats (unless in
stormy weather. in the front door-yard
of the Presidents or Professors house,
or within ten rods Of the person of the
President, eight rods of the Professor,
and FIVE rods of tutor"
81 A Freshman shall not play with any
members of an upper class without be-
ing asked"
" In case of personal insult, Jun
ior may call up Freshman and repre-
hend him. A Sophomore, in like case,
must obtain leave from a Senior, and
then he may discipline Freshman"
Freshmen shall not run in college
yard, or up or down stairs. or call to any
one through college window"

Evenings at Home.

remember in our seminary days our
lady principal began little talk to US,
one morning in this way;
Young ladies, ! am going to make
you all clairvoyants. In that state you
know you see things present to the eye.
Now, then, you are all back in your
rooms look at your study tables-are
books, papers, pens and ink in place
See your wash stand, do you see un-
emptied bowls Now look up to the top
of your stove pipes, do your clairvoy-
ants eyes see any dust Take a look
under the bed, are there any rolls of
lint ? Open your closet doors, do dresses,
hat and cloak hang on their hooks; are
boots and rubbers set up clean and tidy;
are the shelves in order? Shut your
closets, and look again well around the
room. Does it look as though you flew
out and left your chairs any how, when
the chapel bell struck ?"
Now, dear young folks, as we gather
around the evening lamp, suppose
make you clairvoyants and ask you the
same questions How did you leave
your own rooms this morning? How
have they been through the day, and
how do you expect to find them when
you retire tonight Carpets swept,
oh al re Stapd apJ tabla -, ,rlo, a,,r,n,,s
evenly looped, or evenly rolled, and bed
so smooth and even that it will seem
good to lie down on it F.? Remember, ones
room from day to day, tells the character
Of its.occupant
We'll" says the boys, that does
very well for the girls. The girls take
care of my room wish they would be
as nice as that" Boys, did you ever
think how much work it is for yonr sis
ter or your mother to keep all the rooms
nice every day? Well, that is their
business" To be sure it is, but you can
help them great deal if you will. How
very easy for you when you spring out
of bed in the morning, to draw the bed
clothes back smooth upon chair at the
foot; ana when you leave the chamber,
how easy to open the sash. Then when
the sister comes she finds the room and
bed aired, and all ready for her to fix
nice" All, but how many boys leave
their bed in a snarl and tangle, and
perhaps have worn dirty boots up stairs,
too
But there is little introspection may
ask you to make this evening, not con-
nected with tidy rooms SO much as with
tidy hearts and well-kept tongues. Boys,
who of you have spoken cross and un-
kind words to your sister or to each
other to day? Who has been unwilling
to rest mother by tending the baby
| Who has felt fretted, when asked to
help about some work or chore? Girls,
who has said, 40, can't" when little
brother or sister ask you to lace shoe, to
give string, to find toy, to come and
play? Well, as you think of it, and
the little monitor within says, Wrong,
wrong" do not shrink from going and
saying, am sorry spoke cross to you
to-day" or, am sorry did not help
you when you wished. will next
time.
Because these little confessions are
wonderful helps to start right again,
and wonderful strengtheners of family
affection. Prairie Farmer.

VALUE OF TINE l suppose all chill
dren residing in the country, though be-
longing to families in the narrowest cir
cumstances might at the age of sixteen,
possess very respectable attainments in
geology, mineralogy, and know a great
deal of botany, entomology, and agricultu-
raj chemistry without ever abstracting
one hour from their customary labors, by
using the time and the powers which are
now wasted. The only conditions to be
performed for the attainment of such re-
suits are, that their parents shall be so
full of knowledge that their children
shall breathe it as they now inhale com
mon air.-H Mann.

gered and possibly paid for service, are
working in his behalf and fixing up
caueuses which will send Hendee dele
gates to the convention Outside of
these influences he will have no strength.
We have conversed with men from diff
ferent sections on this matter who natur-
ally would have no pique or unfair bias
against Mr.. Hendee, and they are all of
the same mind. They consider that he
has been better served already than he
has deserved, and that it is impudence
on his part to force himself on to the
district longer. The voters in the third
district do not want G.. w. Hendee for
representative, and.if he or his friends
force his nomination, the apathy and
dislike toward him will be shown in an
exceedingly light vote for the Republi-
can candidate for representative.

One Of Nast's pictures in Harper's
Weekly illustrates. better than column
leader would be able to do, the precise
condition Of the Democratic party with
the two elements of soft and hard mon
ey 6ercely cOntending for supremacy.
The picture is the famous Democratic
tiger which Mast has used so long in his
illustrations, with the face Of Tilden on
the front end Of the animal, and the face
Of Hendricks at the other extremity
The legs Of the two.headed creature rep.
resent the two ends a pulling fierce

The girl who wrote home from the
centennial exhibition to her mother, be-
gan and ended her letters thus: 30 |!
OH Ohllw All those with whom we
have conversed or who send written ac-
counts about the exposition are as full
Of EXPLANATIONS as was this girl. There
can be no doubt but that this is the
most extensive, most complete and best
exhibition ever seen in the world. 1t
will be a great misfortune TO those who
are deprived from visiting it some time
during the season. We advise all per.
sons to go who can possibly spare the
time and money required. 1t will be q
profitable investment to put from $50 t
800 into the pleasure and knOwledg
that may be had and gained from Wis
it to Philadelphia in 1876.

The lottery business in this country
has received a blow which it is hoped
will prove fatal. BY the laws of differ
ent States the business has been made
locally illegal and generally disreputa-
bic, and both branches of Congress have
now passed law containing provision
which prohibits the circulation through
the mails of any letters or circulars con
corning lotteries, or any gift enterprise
or similar scheme in the nature of lot
terry. The penalty is heavy fine, which
will be sufficient 10 debar the lotterl
agents from taking the risk

DOUBTFUL STATES.
! the above column no State

In the above column no State has
been set down in the Republican column
without reasonable certainty, while it
is by no means clear that some of the
States in the Democratic column ought
not to be placed among the doubtful, and
one or two Of the doubtful changed to
the Republican column. Thus many
believe that California may now be
safely counted for Hayes and Wheeler.
In Louisiana there is Republican ma
jority on fair count of 10000, and in
Mississippi Majority of $4,000. II
proper precautions are taken to enforce
the laws, and secure an honest election
both of these States will vote for Haye:
and Wheeler
1t will be seen that Tilden must receive
all the votes on the list Of Democratic
States, and also the votes of Louisiana
Mississippi, Indiana, and New York, Il
be elected, He cannot spare a vote
Indiana is as essential as New York

II is announced that ex-Secretary
Bristow will visit Vermont next month,
and will discuss the political issues of
the campaign. As there are to be one
or more Republican mass meetings in
the county during the fall, let us invite
Col. Bristow to address the people of
Orleans. No man is more highly es-
teemed, and no man would call out SO
large a number of voters.

The letter of Hon. VIM. A. Wheeler,
accepting the nomination for vice presi-
dent, is an excellent paper. His views
on the money question are unequivOcal,
while his opinions on Southern affairs
are well-estimated and statesmanlike.
In respect to civil service reform and a
just economy in public expenditures,
Mr.. Wheeler is in full accord with the
best sentiment of the Republican party.
In most respects the letter isas satisfac-
tory as that of Gov Hayes.
