Differences in People.

There is q vast difference in people.
However moralists and metaphysicians
may class them, there are opposite
points among the most similar which
are broad. contrasts-sweet and sour,
winter and summer-or any other pro-
verbal antithesis. To some folks the
leaves of forest are all alike, and q
school full of boys presents only 80 many
fao-similies of each other. Such person
ages regard all mankind as so many bi-
peds; of the difference between them
they are scarcely conscious.
Some people soothe one like strain
of music, while others agitate every
nerve with the irritating power OF a dis
cord. How much might be said about
the difference of people in their charac-
ters and actions. There are those who
turn pale at the sight of cheese, and 9TH
ers who shudder at the mention OF car
rots this one prefers hard eggs to soft,
and that one does not Like buckwheat
cakes. These marks by which some OF
our race are distinguished from the rest,
are but few of those which crowd the
mind. There are people who actually
detest children these who never have a
moment to spare and those who don't
know how to get through the day. Your
touchy people who are always prickmg
ND their ears to catch the first faint
sound of an insult, and your people
without humor who can never either
furnish Joke or understand one. There
are two causes of the great difference
perceptible in people. Much may Ger.
tainly be ascribed to education, but
much also to constitutional dissimilarity.
Here is one on whom good music acts
like enchantment; he cannot sit still
while hearing it; his eyes fill with tears;
he forgets oil his troubles, and when the
tune has ceased it is still in his mind,
bursting out at intervals in fragments
and exclamations, and keeping HIM
awake in the night by its busy mental
repetitions. Who shall say that his ma
ture is the same as that of another who
finds in the italian orchestra only dis
agreeable scraping, whose lips cannot
hum, whose imagination cannot contain
a tune? And thus on through life and
in every day intercourse if we but OBJ
sereye lite carefully, we will scarcely
veE,find two people alike-even those
pursuing the same avocations and united
by the closest ties, are oftentimes the
most aissinilay in shsir natures

A Little Off.

A Detroiter called at livery stable
to secure rig to take his wife out for a
ride, and he made it APPOINT to ask for a
docile animal. While the horse intel d.
ed for him was being hitched up she
reared up and acted very nervous, and
the proprietor explained:
"You needn't be bit afraid of her.
She's simply little off, to-day"
The citizen got into the carriage, was
whirled around the corner, and nothing
more was seen of him for two hours.
Then he came limping back and asked !:
"That horse was little off, wasn't
she?"

"Well, she kept growing offer and

then the way she got off altogether was
bad for the buggy. Go And get the
pieces. and we'l1 settle up"

A Curious Surgical Operation.

A boy named Frank Hanafin. who had
been injured in sawmill here, and had
been, as we might say, almost skinned
alive. was supplied with new SKIN
by taking pieces from the arms OF eight
or nine other boys. In the accident
very large wound was made in his back,
the surface being one macs of red, quiv-
ering flesh, though healthy in appear
ance. The wound, of course, was very
sensitive, and the operation must have
been quite painful to him. Drs. PicOt
and MAYNARD and an assistant performed
the operation. Around the- bed werc
gathered six or eight Irish boys, from
eight to fifteen years of age, from whose
arms had been taken, or was to be TAX
en-. the skin needed b. replace that
which YVES lost. As each was called on
by the doctor, he came forward, and
barring his arm, small piece OF skin was
skilfully cut out with the lancet and
gently placed upon the raw flesh. About
thirty pieces in all were 80 put on. Sew
eral of the boys gave up more than one
piece. and Folger Picot, the doctors
son. contributed eight pieces. A young
er brother of Hanafn's gave nearly as
many. While the operation was going
on the boys ioked among themselves on
helping to make up Hanafn, and ban
tered each other on the number of times
they had submitted to be cut into Tor
the benefit of their playmate. The boys
were generally very willing to give the
skin required, but after while they
evidently began to think enough was
AZ GOOD as feast, and they moved out
doors, watching further operations
through the window. 1t is thought.
however, that enough will consent to
give skin, so that Hanafn's wound VIII
be entireiy y covered over, thus Fastening
his recovery, and adding to his comfort
when the wound shall have healed.-Au-

A Russian General.

The Plevna correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes Major General Scob-
eloff is a character-one of the most
striking men have ever met; he is a
son of Lieutenant General Scobelof, of
the Russian army, and has been in every
campaign the Russians have had since
he was old enough to enter the field.
In Khokand, where everything was
considered in q critical state, young
Scobeloff was left to cover the rear of
the army with five battalions and twenty
guns. His elders in rank and years had
selected him to bear the disgrace of the
expected catastrophe; but he did not
fancy this situation of affairs, attacked
the enemy (numbering forty battalions)
In the night, threw them into panic,
and utterly routed them, remaining mas
ter of the province. For this he was
made a major-general at thirty-one, and
became the object of much envy and
calumny at the hands of the officers
whose beads he had passed over.
At the recent battle of Plevna he had
his brigade of Cossacks and battalion
of infantry, the latter numbering about
seven hundred men. Three hundred
and forty of this battalion fell in the des-
perate contest, one hundred and seventy
of them being killed outright; unsup-
ported the remnant were compelled to
fall back, but they retreated in good Or
der, bringing away all the wounded, and
actually left the deadly line of battle
singing one of their wild but very melodi-
GUS mountain airs. A Amaior-general, thir-
ty-three years of age, tall and handsome,
Scobeloff is the ideal of benu sabreur
of the old Murat type. Brave almost to
recklessness, yet possessing a certain
shrewd aptitude for estimating chances
and the strength of position.
He will make his mark in this cam
paign should his carelessness of personal
danger not bring him before some fatal
bullet-he has already been wounded
six times during his career. Having
been appointed to the staff of the COM
mander of the Plevna army, he was on
the way to the camp of his cavalry brig
ade to turn over the command to his
successor.

The Writer'S Cramp.

: A paper read by N, Bouilland before
a recent meeting of the French Academy
of Sciences gives an account OF his fur
ther researches relative to LESSONS OF the
brain. In his former communications
he demonstrated that the loss of speech
was due to malady of the third circum-
volution of the left anterior lobe Of that
organ. He now goes farther, and as
serts the three fecultias which essential
ly distinguish man from other animals
speech, reading and writing-are each
controlled by separate portions of the
brain. In his researches he discovered
that the paralysis of one of those func-
tions could exist without the others be-
ing effected, and he gives as an example
O case in which he was called to a con-
sultation on young man, whose avoca-
tions compelled him to write continually.
At first the patient had felt slight
weakness in writing, then great diff.
Guilty, and finally, an absolute loss OF
the fsculty. The result of the closest
examination could not detect any defect
in the muscles of the arm or hand, the
latter retaining all its sensitiveness and
power for every other purpose than that
of writing, and all his other functions
being moral and in good condition. The
conclusion arrived at was that the source
of the in6rmity must not be sought for
in the external organs, but in the center
itself of nervous action-the BRAIN. The
Young man was advised to write with
his left hand, which he rapidly succeed
ed in doing. The defect from which he
suffered had long been known as writer's
cramp, just as the loss Of speech was for
centuries termed paralysis of the
tongue. Both designations were equal
ly erroneous, both being now attributed
to maladies of certain portions of the
brain,

Words Of Wisdom.

He that is everywhere is nowhere.
Confidence generally inspires con-
fdence.
The greatest scholars are not the
wisest men.
Nothing is so uncertain as the minds
of the multitude.
No excellent soul is exempt from
mixture of folly. -
To what use serves learning if the
understanding be away.
If individuals have no virtues their
vices may be of use to us.
Age makes us not childish, as men say;
it finds us still true children.
Two things the most opposite blind
US equal. custom and novelty.
Fishes live in the sea as men do a-land;
the great ones eat up the little ones.
A kiss ought to be q mark of honest
affection, not weapon of hypocrisy.
Prosperity does best discover vice,
but adversity does best discover virtue.
Reason cannot otshow itself more reason
ably than to cease reasoning on things
above reason.
It is not enough to have great quali-
ties we should also have the manage
ment of them.
Let no man trust the first step of guilt;
it hangs upon q precipice, whose steep
descent in lost perdition ends.
There are those that never reason on
what they should do, but on what they
have done as if reason had his eyes be-
hind and could only see backward.
He that waits for repentance waits for
that which cannot be had as long as it is
waited for. It is obsurd for . man to
wait for that which he himself has to do.
The passions are the only orators that
never succeed. They are, as it were,
natures art Of eloquence, fraught with
infallble rules. Simplicity, with the aid
of the passions, persuades more than
the utmost eloquence without it.
Oratory, like the drama, abhors length
mess; like the drama it must keep
doing. It avoids, as frigid, prolonged
metaphysical solloquy. Beauties them.

The gravest events dawn with no more
noise than the m6rning star makes IN
rising. All great developments COM

The Queen of Madagascar has by
public proclamation liberated the whole
of the slaves in the island. By treaty
with England in 1865 she engaged that
the practice of buying and selling slaves
should be discontinued, but her subjects
having evaded the treaty to great ex-
tent by pretending that their slaves were
purchased before the treaty came into
force, the decisive step taken by al.e

The False Oracle.
BY BRET HARTE.

BY MARY AINGE DE WE'RE.
She picked little daisy flower
With fringe Of snow, and heart Of gold
All pure without, and warm within
And stood to have her fortune told.
d" He loves me" low she musing said,
And plucked the border leaf by leaf;
GA little-too much-not at all
With truest heart-beyond belief"
" A little-too much-not at ALL
So rang the changes DER and DER;
The tiny leaflets fluttered down,
And strewed the meadows grassy floor.
"a little-too much-not at all
With truest heart oh, magic brief!
All, foolish task, to measure out
Loves value on daisy leaf
For she pulled the latest left
With "not all left, I heard her say,

He'll love me till his dying day."
