The Quaker'a Hat.

The first occasion on which the
Quaker's hat came publicly and Off
cially into trouble was at the Launceston
Assizes in the year 1856, before no less
a person than Chief Justice Glynn.
"When we were brought into the court -
says Fox, "we stood pretty while
with our hats on, and all was quiet,
and l was moved to say, Peace be
amongst your why do you not put
your hats OFF, said the judge to us.
We said nothing. Put Off your hats,
said the judge, again. Still We said
nothing. Then said the judge, The
court commands you to put off your
hats" George Fox, with amazing
simplicity, asked for some scriptural
instance of any magistrate commanding
prisoners TO put off their hats. He next
asked to be shown, ''either printed or
written, any law of England that did
command such a thing" Then the
judge grew very angry, and said, 81 do
not carry my law books on my back. +"
"But," said Fox, "tell me where it is
printed in any statute-book, that may
read it." The Chief Justice cried
out "Prevaricator 20 and ordered the
Quakers to be taken away.
When they were brought before him
again the Chief Justice asked Fox
whether hats were mentioned at all in
the Bible? "Yes," said the Quaker,
Gin the third of Daniel, where thou
mayst read that the three children were
cast into the fiery furnace by Nebuchad-
neZzar's command with their coats,
their hose and their hats onv' Here
was proof that even a.heathen king
allowed men to wear hats in,his presence.
'.This plain instance stopped him." says
Fox, $50 he cried again, Take them
away, gaoler;' accordingly we were
taken away and thrust in among the
thieves, where We were kept a great
while"
After nine weeks imprisonment "for
nothing but about their hats" as the
Chief Justice told them they were again
brought before him, grimly wearing
the offending headgear. ''Take off their
hats" said the judge to the gaoler.
"Which he did," says Fox, 'and gave
them unto us: and we put them on
again. Then the judge began to make
great speech, how he represented the
Lord Protectors person, and that he
had made him Lord Chief Justice of
England" The Quakers were incorrigi-
bic. They were sent back to prison,
but not really so much for the wearing
of their hats as for the suspicion that
they were royalist emissaries affecting
religious singularity in order to win
their way among the extreme Puritans.

Fresting.

He who frets is never the one who
mends, who heals, who repairs evils ;
he discourages, enfeebles and too often
disables those around him, who, but
for the gloom and depression of his
company, would do good work and
keep up brave cheer. The effect upon
a sensitive person of the mere neighber-
hood of fretter is indescribable. 1t is
to the soul what cold, icy mist is to
the body-more chilling than the Bit
terest frost, more dangerous than the
fiercest storm. And when the fretter is
one who is beloved, whose nearness of
relation to us makes his fretting even at
the weather seem almost like personal
reproach to US, then the misery of it
becomes indeed insupportable.-Our
Dumb Animals.

Whipping the Sea.-You've heard
about Xerxesf OF course you have /;
every history scholar that comes into
my field to study talks about Xerxes of
old, and his great armies. Well,
heard a very queer story about this
same Nerxes the other day-picked ont
of one of the big books, you know. In
one of his wars he wanted his soldiers
to cross piece of water a mile wide.
So he caused a bridge of boats to be
made. But before his men had crossed,
a storm came up and destroyed the
bridge; wbereupon this brave general
flew into passion, like little boy,
and ordered the sea to be whipped with
three hundred lashes, and a set of fet-
tiers cast into it, to punish it for its dis
respectful conduct
Dear, dear. I'm told the little waves
are sObbing on the beach to this day
st. Nicholas for April.

The Stork-The stork is a remarka-
BILE bird. In Germany the stOrk lives
in the marshes and low grounds, where
It can find plenty of frogs and small
fishes: on these it feeds.
The stork is welcome bird where
ever it visits; for it is useful in de-
stroying the nOxious reptiles that might
do harm. The white stork approaches
the dwellings of man without fear. In
Holland and Germany, the stork is so
well treated, that it returns every year
to the nest where it was born.
The winter is passed by the stork in
the more genial climate of Asia, and in
the northern part of Africa, Egypt es-
pecially. Those who have seen these
birds in the act of migrating speak of
their numbers as very large.
When DIR. Shaw was travelling over
Mount Carmel, he saw the annual mi
grafton of those storks which had quit
ted Egypt; and he states that each of
these tiOcks was half mile in breadth,
and occupied three hours in passing
over.

The little Heroine of Bloomington IH,-
nOis.-The worlds history is full of lit
tie heroines-tIny Joans of Arc: baby
brave-hearts. whose prowess makes
the sweetest stories in the volume of
daring deeds. But in all the list we
think there never was an act more tho
roughly brave than the following: \
little German girl, Rosa COtterman,
aged ten years, of Bloomington, Illi-
nois. lately stood in the way of an in
furiated COW while she put four or five
smaller children over a fence.
Her clothing was nearly torn from
her. and she was very badly bruised
but the mayor and police force, as they
descended from the lamp-posts and te-
legraph-poles, were loud in praise OF
her courage.

THE QUEEN OF THE ORKNEY ISLANDS


Oh. the Queen of the Orkney Islands.
She's travelling over the sea
She's bringing cuttle-fish with her.
To play with my baby and me.
Oh, his head is three miles long, dear;
His tail is three miles short:
And when he goes out, he wriggles his snout
In way that no cuttle-fsh ought.
Oh, the Queen Of the Orkney Islands,
She rides on a sea-green whale.
He takes her q mile, with an elegant smile,
At every flip of his tail
Oh, the Queen of the Orkney Islands.
She dresses in wonderful taste;
The sea-serpent coils. all painted in oils,
Around her bee-yutiful waist
Oh. her gown is made of the green sea-kale,
And though she knows nothing Of feet.
She can manage her train, with an air Of disdain,
In a way that is perfectly sweet
Oh the Queen of the Orkney Islands.
She's travelling over the main;
So well hire hack. and send her right back
To her beautiful islands again.

Sleeping stories.

Mr.. Platter, the celebrated lutanist, or
lute-player, one evening dropped asleep
while playing, after partaking of an un-
usual liberal supper. He continued to
"discourse sweet music" correctly and
tastefully until reused from his drowsy
nap by the noise of his lutte falling on
the floor. A "reader" i'm a printing Of
flee fell asleep while reading for the
correction of proof, but continued read
ing down to the bottom of that page.
In this case the probability is that his
sleep only went to the extent of drowsi-
ness; at any rate, when reused up he
could not remember the words which
he had just been correctly reading.
Sir John Moore during his ever memora-
BILE retreat to COrunna, had to make
forced marches night and day, as the
only mode of averting capture by vast
ly larger French army; his poor tired
soldiers often slept as they marched or
maeched as they slept. A truely
remarkable manifestation of sOmnam-
bulism is that which can be brought
about by the influence of some other
person on the sleeper. External voices
and sounds can move him to action
even when his consciousness is asleep.
DR.. Carpenter and other Psychologists
have recorded many instances of this
kind. A young naval officer, signal
lieutenant to Admiral Lord Hood, at
TOulon sometimes continued his an nxious
studies for eighteen or twenty hours at
stretch; going to his berth and falling
instantly asleep, his mind was never
theless so far awake on one particular
subject that If a cOmrade whispered Sig
nal = i'm his ear it reused him at once
and irresistibly. A young military Of
ficer voyaging with his regiment in
troopship displayed tendency which
the mischievous wags about him took
an unfair advantage of. When he was
asleep in his berth they would whisper
in his ear, giving him all the details of
a duel, shipwreek, or battle; his
mind uncOnciously followed the narra-
tive, until he was reused to action by
the climax. and awoke by springing out
of bed; fortunately for society such
cases are rare,-Chdmber's Journal.

Disdgrcedble Enthusiastically all the
disagreeable habits which people take
up come at first from mere accident or
want of thought. They might easily
be dropped but they are persisted in
until they become second nature. Stop
and think before yOu allow yourself to
form them. There are disaRreeable
habits of body, like scowliDg. winking,
twisting the mouth, biting the nails,
continually picking at something,
twirling key or fumbling at a chain,
drumming with the fingers, screwing
and twisting a chair, or whatever you
can lay your hands on. Don't do any
of these things. Learn to sit quietly,
like a-gentleman. was going to say,
but l am afraid even girls fall into
such tricks sometimes. There are
much worse habits than these, to be
sure; but we are speaking only of very
little things that are only annoying
when they are persisted in. There are
habits OF speech also, such as begin
ming every speech with "yOu see," or
you know" "now-a,n 81 don't care"
tell ye WHAT tell We now.- Indistinct
utterance, sharp nasal tones, a slow
drawl, avoid them all. Stop and think
what you wish to say, and then let
every word drop from your lips just as
smooth and perfect as a new silver
coin. Have care about your ways of
sitting aud standing and walking. Be-
fore you know it, you will find your
habits have hardened into coat of
mail that yOu cannot get rid of without
terrible effort.-Littie Corporal.

Trareled Dogs.-The captain of q Ma
hant boat has fine, curly dog, which
never misses making q trip with his
master if he can help it. He likes the
hustle and little excitement of getting
underway, and going on shore again.
as we'll as old sailors love the sea. He
is quiet sOciable, and well acquainted
with the regular passengers. They
know his peculiarities, and he knows
some of theirs. If he does not regular
ly "begn he is still sharp enough to
chang rOundr those who are rather lib
orally disposed. He generally gets his
penny or five-cent piece, and then off
he bounds to the refreshment table,
and lays 1t out in cakes as orderly as q
boy. He would scOrn to eat it Oft the
floor, like dog that had never been
taught good manners. He hunts up
mis- master and puts the cakes in his
hand, and then stands by decOrOusly
and eats it, piece by piece, as it is bro
ken off for him.
Another smart Yankee dog has a
taste for visiting. He goes down to the
depot and steps aboard the train, with
out the customary little ceremony at
the ticket-office and when he reaches
the right town he bounds Off and pays
visit to some family friend of his
master. He never makes a mistake
about the town or the train, and is such
fine. intelligent fellow. he always
meets with welcome. He usually
spends two or three days on his trips,
and no doubt picks up considerable dog
lore in his travels. / do not know
whether the mightier dog shows him
any particular attention on his return,
but he is on good terms with them all.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Tie Republican Convention which
met here last Saturday was the most
tnha, sonions ever held In che county.
or perhaps in Nevada The Sheriff
was the rock On which the convention
struck and partially went to pieces

in the Sheris question that tl,e success
of each of the rival aspirants for other
Offices depended upon the choice of the
man with whom he was 10 alliance for
Sheriff On the first ballot for this
office the vote stood equal between G.
M. Miller and Richard Nash, With the
balance of power in favor Of c. II.
Nichols. Subsequent boiling increased
Miller vote to twenty-five. and reduced
Nash's strength to eighteen. On the
aineteenth ballot Nash withdrew from
the convention, and announced himself
an Independent candidate for Sheriff, 4
movement which his friends warmly
spplanded. This did not cad the con-
test; the balloting continued. Miller
lacking but one vote of nomination,
until Monday. The Chairman, G. S.
Osborn, declined 10 act longer in that
capacity if the convention continued in
session on Sunday, and motion TO
adjourn until Monday prevailed. The
Feeling was bitter. and several OF the
candidates knowing that the defeat of
the ticket was inevitable, withdrew
from the contest. An effort to compro-
mise on new man for Sheriff failed,
and to. day Miller, who, from the first
ballot developed the greatest s.reagth
in the convention, vas nominated by
acclamation. A full ticket, which
appears elsewhere. ives nominated
to-day. and visa q few exceptions is
conceded to be rs weak as could have
been made, and the representatives of
