The Conduct Of Life.

Ever onward and upward pursuing
The aim that is thine for the day,
Adding strength to thy strength by thy doing,
Ihon shalt gain it, nor faint by the way.
And though thou art busiest with small things.
Though menial thy labor nay be,
Do thy utmost in that and in all things.
Thou still shalt be noble and free.
Dost thou love? let it be with full measure;
Nor mingle with coldness or hate
OF others the joy of thy pleasure.
The passion that crowns thy estate.
BE to every man just; and to woman
BE gentle, and tender and true;
For thine own do thy best but for no man
Do less than brother should do.
SO living thy days full to number,
In peace thou shalt pass to the grave -.
Ihou shalt lie down and rest thee, and slumber
Beloved by the good and the brave.

Another Formidable Russian Foe.

A Bucharest correspondent writes A
thing of greater gravity then is generally
supposed-the spread of NihilisBs in
the Polish provinces-is occupying the
attention of Austrian, Russian, and
Roumanian statesmen. The sect of the
Nihitistes has hitherto been confirmed
exclusively to Russia proper. OF the
precise nature of their tenets and as
pirations no one can speak positively, all
that is known being that, as their name
implies, their creed is based upon the
negation of everything involving the
principles of law in the State. Believ-
ing neither in God nor the evil one,
these people strike at the head of all
authority, the sovereign. They cannot
be classed with the Communists, and
yet, TO gain their ends, they are said to
be affiliated TO that great nursery of
the Commune, the mternationale. Un-
like, too, the French Radicals. these
lNihiLiStcs recruit their numbers in all
classes of society. Two thousand of
them are at this moment in the prisons
of Moscow and st. Petersburgh, and
among these are found, not only students
of the public schools, but respectable
merchants, high officers of the army in
active service, and even young girls of
good family and, in other respects un-
tarnished reputation. These last are,
indeed, particularly fanatical and active
in the propagation of their dogmas, and,
according to the avowal of their fellow
prisoners themselves, may be clssed in
the category of their most energetic
adopts. The act of accusation against
those now arrested contains some de-
tails upon the organization of the
"circles in st. Petersburgh, Moscow,
Kieff, Kazan, and Odessa, but the Gen.
tral committee has not yet been dis
covered, and it would seem that all the
different sections of the society act in
dependently of each other, although in
accordance with programme elaborated
in common. Among packet of letters
seized in the apartments of a'medical
student in st. Petersburgh was found a
communication-anonymous-from his
colleague at Kazan, in which it is urged
that, as the Njhilistes are not yet in a
position to act by force, they should
profit by the critical situation of the
government, whose authority has been
shaken by the recent military disasters,
and should work upon the public opinion
by political demonstrations at the funer-
ais Of their comrades, and on the arrival
of the trains containing wounded sol
ton, and of others which caused the
arrest of many of the gang residing in
the provinces, the bodies of all the
prisoners who die in the military hos
pitfalls are inferred during the night
without other witnesses than the nurses
on duty in the ward. Considerably ex
cited by the imminence of this danger,
so menacing to society, augmented as it
is by the feeling of discomfort which If
gradually pervading the masses, the
police are taking stringent measures
All public meetings are forbidden
domiciliary visits are made discretionary
with the police, and the press is sub
mitted to q censorship which is almost
arbitrary in its severity.

The Growth of Dead Mans Hair.

DR.. Caldwell, of Iowa, says that in 1867
he was present at the examination OF
body which had been buried two years
before. The coffin had sprung open at
the joints, and the hair protruded
through the openings. On opening the
coffin the hair of the head was found
to measure eighteen inches and the
whiskers eight inches. The man had
been shaved before being buried. In
1S47 similar circumstance occurred III
Mercer county, Pennsylvania. In Dig
eing a grave the workmen came across
the skeleton of o man that had been
buried ten years. The hair was as firm
as during life, and had grown to length
of ten or twelve inches.

A WAY They Have.

Chow many thumbs ?" smilingly asks
the sitting-room carpet, looking up at
its colleague, the battered stove-pipe.
With wink in its disjointed elbow the
stove pipe, ,riveting its gaze on its friend,
replies "Only three, but I've raked
enough skin off the other knuckles to
make pair of boots" Chuckling re-
sponds the carpet: "Not so well as you
did last year. I got couple of finger
nails, two whole trousers knees, started
good crop of hang-nails on every finger
in the house, and think I have di-
vorce suit pending" "That's pretty

the graceless trio smiled in silent chorus
and an old, rheumatic mop that was
standing on the porch listening to the
conversation through the keyhole
pumped itself against the door in an
ecstacy of delight and fell fainting across
the wheelbarrow with one leg that was

Female Suffrage Refused.

A telegram from Leland, ILL.,, to the
Cincinnati Gazette, dated the day after
election, says: An incident which created
quite a ripple of excitement yesterday
afternoon was the appearance at the
polls of Misses Hughes, Hurd and
Squires, lady teachers in the puohc
schools, who went together to the polls
and insisted upon casting their votes tor
school commissioner, their argument
being that if q woman was intelligent
enough and had right to be school
commissioner, she ought to be allowed
to express choice in the matter. The
anti-woman suffragists were on hand IN
force, among them being the street COM
missioner, who demanded that they pay
poll-tax if the Judge allowed them to
vote. This created big laugh among
the hangers on about the polls, but the
ladies insisted, as they retired, that IN
the refusal of the judges to receive their
votes they were denied their rights.

Prehistoric Animals.

1t appears that Silver lake and Sum-
mer lake, in Oregon, are filed with re-
mains of prehistoric animals. Among
the fossils recently taken there, the
smaller quadrupeds had representa-
ton. Bones answering in size to the fox
and wolf were found also others an
swering to the sheep goat in size and
appearance. Remains Of birds were
plentiful some very large, others quite
small. Waders, swimmers, scratchers,
and probably climbers were recognized
The vertebr@ or backbones Of fish, or
some other animal with backbone like
the fish, are found in great plenty.

HAMPrOK ANp OHAMBERLAIN.

1t has been truly said by the
Louisville Courier : Journal that
"Chamberlain's organ, the New
York Times, is. naturally very severe
on Governor Hampton because Of
the attention which has been paid
him during his recent trip and So
journ at Washington. Says the
Times: HE has been invited by
tine President to come to Washing
ton to give the administration such
aid as he can in determining its
duty with reference to South Caro-
lima. On a similar invitation Mr..
Chamberlain went quietly and
quickly to the capital, and placed
himself in communication with the
President. But Mr.. Hampton ad-
yances by slow stages, hauangaing
partisan crowds at every station,
and firing the Southern heart
with absurd rodomontade. He is
going to state his claim, not as a
claim, but as " a fact;' he viii de
clare to the President that he asks
.'no recognition from any Presi-
dent" he will demand his rights,
nothing less,and SO help him God, 70
take nothing less" with more bonn

Ton used these expressions or not,
