THAT delightful city OF Chicago,
which has read Texas 80 many moral
lessons about mob law, Is evidently
approaching that happy condition
when anarchy shall reign supreme and
illegal hanging be the order of the day.
1t seems that the ballots polled in
recent city election were deposited for
safe keeping in u vault securely locked,
but that the corrupt oustodions of that
vault and those ballot boxes, opened
the same at midnight and stuffed in
few thousand bogus votes. This arous-
ing the ire OF virtuous Chicago, an inn
mense mass meeting was held. The
following extract from the Tribune
will show the drift of popular senti-
ment "Mr. SWEET had portrayed the
state Of affairs. The question now Isl
said he, what shall we do to emanci-
pate ourselves from the rule of the
swindlers p 1t was In no ordinary
tone OF condemnation that the answer
came: Hang them hang them /! !!
And from mouth to mouth the sent
ence flew, till every man was on his
feet, aud the speaker stood aghast as
he contemplated the storm he had
raised. Hang them hang them ?
The cry came again and again, and
the great sea Of faces was stormy then.
The din was fearful. There was no
shrieking or yelling then. 1t was y
wild, passionate cry. From every side
It came up, swelling, fading and swell
ling again, until the lips were exhaust
ed and pallid, and 1t died away in a
wall Of rage and disappointment"

Posrep of uJonsam.

When first Mrs. Grey joined her hus.
band in the mining camp she shrank
from the rough men surrounding her.
They had not seen the face of wo-
man for six months when she went
among them, and their recreations
consisted Of prize-iighting, gambling,
cock-fghting. drinking. anything to
pass away the time--and all this in
dirty clothing, unshaven, unwashed,
with hair unkempt. Presently her mr.
rival was noissd about the mines. and
the next Sunday every miner, TAR aud
near, made himself presentable. In
the course of the day they congregated
in the lady's vicinity, and while pre-.
tending TO chat with each other were
seen pesring about. trying TO catch a
glimpse Of the lady. She soon chang
cd the state of affairs. aud the Sabbath
day was no longer desecrated by gam
bling and prize-ighting; and the men
became tidy and decent in personal APP
pearanee. Indeed. such was her inhu-
ence that il would have been death to
he man who dared lisp a word against
her.

Hoe to Teach the yoaag.

The education of children is always
an important subject. 1t has no wear of
wool To awaken intelligence, to
arouse and strengthen memories, to
excite interest, to animate and enchain
the attention of the young mind, is of
great moment while the rudimentary
branches are being taught. Incorrect
spelling, indistinct pronunciation Of
words, monotony Of tone and wrong
emphasis in reading, inaccuracy and
inexactness of quotation, an Insult
cient knowledge OF the multiplication
table, together with confused and
vague idea of elementary geography
these educational defects, too often
vilible in men aud women, are sure
signs of an incapable or an impatient
teacher in the earliest days of home
or school teaching. Lesson time should
be Of short duration. To keep a dull
child at its book, or an active child
chained to its chair for any length of
time is almost u cruel net, certainly it
is an unwise one. At the outset--say
when the little one is five years old,
five minutes is quite long enough to
keep its attention. When the child be.
gins to read, then of course more time
will he required to be spent on the dai.
ly lessons; but even then, half an hour
well spent-that is, with its mind con.
centrated upon its task-will do more
toward its advancement than couple
of hours of dawdling, yawning and
inaltention.

LOST A FoRruNR.--A romantic
story is told by the Amador California;
Ledger. An Austrian named John
Travis. after many years Of hard work
at the Oneida mine, had saved up
about $1,000 in gold. With this
good sum around his waist he started
for the old land, resolved to bring his
wife and family to the land OF freedom.
As he stood on the plank that joined
him TO his native land il suddenly
broke precipitating him and many
Others into the sea. He was a good
swimmer, but to gain the shore he
had to disongagc and cast away the
hard-earned earnings of years. Count.
ing up the slender stock of money
left him he found he had just enough
to bring HIN home or to carry him to
California He returned, and is once
more bravely trying to build again the
fortune which the sea so cruelty tore at
the threshold of his happiness from
around his honest heart.

Pressure of the atmosph ere is now
applied to rai,ing coal from the mines
in the Creuzot district in France. The
air is exhausted from a hollow tube
running along the shaft from the bot
tom to the top of the colliery. At the
foot Of this tube is n piston, fitted to
it, and supporting cage into which
the coal is loaded. When the cage i.
full, the air from the mine i, allowed
to press upon the piston underneath,
and there being vacuum above the
piston and the cage, the load is borne
upward TO .he surface. Not only is
the coal raised in this way, but the
ventilation Of the mine is vastly I'M
proved, for the contaminated air Of
the colliery flows up through the tube,
bearing the loaded cage above it, while

by the inflow of fresh air fyom the sur

NATURE has always had the credit
Of adapting her means to her ends.
The tenderness of her provision for the
wants Of the humblest of her creatures
is illustrated by Mr.. Darwin. who says
that male grasshoppers use their hind
legs to fiddle On the edge of their
wings. and that the best fiddler first
succeeds in fascinating the females.
Behold how the industrious spider
spins her web, and then sucks the
blood of her husband and filings his
carcass out in the back yard. Thusi it
is that the harmonies of life swell the
grand diapason of the Universe. as it

A Dog Rcsurrecfed Lv Tranafusioa
of Hood.

Yesterday afternoon delicate and

formed at the Medical College. in il.
lustration Of the theory Of TRANSMISSION
Of blood. The operation took place
under the direction of Prof. Mason,
teacher Of physiology, and was wit
messed by the entire Faculty, the
students, and a large number of other
persons.
Two dogs were secured, one little
larger than the other. They were
both placed under the influence Of
ether and rendered insensible. One
end of thin rubber tube, filled with
bicorbonate of soda to keep the blood
from coagulating. was then inserted
into the carotid artery of dog No. l.,
the larger one, and the other end into
the jugular vein of dog No. 2.
The tube was securely fastened, so that
there was no danger of its slipping. A
vein was then opened in the latter and
all the blood drawn off until respira-
ton ceased, anu the dog was to all
in,ents and purposes dead.
BY the aid of an air.pump artificial
respiration was kept up in the body
and the blood turned on through the
tube from dog No. /. In few
minutes, after about 4 ounces Of
blood had been transferred into the
carcass of the dog, he began to breathe.
His respirations gradually returned,
