Self Help.

People who have been bolstered
up all their lives are seldom good
for anything in crisis. When mis-
fortune comes, they look around for
somebody to cling to or lean upon.
If the prop is not there down they
90. Once down they are perfectly
helpless, and they cannot find their
feet again without assistance. Such
persons no more resemble men who
have fought their way to position,
making difficulties their stepping
stones and deriving determination
from defeat, than vines resemble
oaks, or sputtering rush-lights the
stars of heaven. Efforts persisted
in to achievements train man to
self-reliance, and. when he has prov
ed to the world that he can trust
himself, the world will trust him.
One of the best lessons father can
give his son is this: Work; strenth-
en- your moral and mental faculties
as you would strengthen your mus
cles, by vigorous exercise. Learn
to conquer circumstances; you will
then be independent of fortune.
The men of athletic minds, who left
their mark on the years in which
they lived, were all trained in a
rough school. They did not mount
to their high position by the help of
leverage; they leaped the chasm,
grappled with the opposing rocks,
avoided avalanches, and, when the
goal was reached, felt that but for
the toll that strengthened them as
they strove it could never have been
attained.

The first and the best is a suspend
ed looking glass. Take two small
cheap mirrors, fasten them back to
back, attach cord to one angle, and
hang them to an elastic pole; when
the glass swings the suns rays are
reflected all over the field, even if it
be a large one, and even the oldest
and bravest of crows viii depart pre-
cipitately should one of its lightning
flashes fall on him. The second
plan, although terror to crows, is
especially well suited to fields sub
iect to inroads of small birds and
even chickens. 1t involves an arti-
fetal hawk made from a big potato
and long goose and turkey feathers.
The maker can exercise his initiative
skill in sticking the feathers into the
potato so that they resemble the
spread wings and tail of the hawk.
Ii is astonishing what feroclous
looking bird of prey can he CON
structed from the above sVnple ma
terial. 1t only remains to hang the
object from a tall, bent pole, and the
wind will do the rest. The bird will
make swoops and dashes in the most
headlong and threatening manner
Even the most ipquisitive of venera-
bile hens have been known to hurry
rapidly from it's dangerous vicinity,
while to small birds il carries I'M
mixed dismay.

The Mother.

Of all the impressions made upon
the youthful mind, none are so last
ing as those received from a mother.
While the rough finger of time may
eradicate almost all others, these be-
come, as it were, part of our ma
ture, controlling motives, exerting a
powerful influence over US in all af-
fairs of life; and this fact is sustain
ed by the evidence of many of the
greatest men that ever lived. Per
haps, of all whom the world has
honored with the appellation of
great, more than one-half might,
with the strictest propriety, inscribe
on their escutcheons, as the motto
of their success, the simple word
"Mother." Truly weighty, then, are
the obligations devolving on woman
in discharge of her duties in this re-
lation. The formation of character
is hers. And may not she be also
responsible for the future welfare or
misery of her child, Just in proper
tion as she discharges faithfully, or
neglects to discharge, her obllga-
tions to himP The child is father
of the man, and the seed sown in the
molding of youthful character must
bring forth good or evil fruit in the
harvest of mature age, Ay, its IN
fuence will be felt by future gener-
ations, and it remains with the moth
er whether those who, in future time,
may be affected by the acts of her
child, shall have reason to bless OF
curse the name of her who gave him
being. "Show us a good mother,
and we will show you good SON
So far does maternal influence affect
the character of the child.

A Concert of Four-Hundred Dogs.

The people who spent the night
in the Hippodrome aver that seven
menageries, each with steam CALI
ope ike Barnum's, would have made
less noise than these seven or eight
hundred dogs kept up all night long.
Bv daylight some of the ferociouS
brutes had howled themselves hoarSe
and ceased yelling; Others became
Quiet through sheer exhaustion.
Comparative quiet reigned for an
bour or two, until The morning arri-
walls began to pour III; then the up
roar began anew. 1t seemed as if,
in dog lingo, each animal already
caoed velied at each new conner,
wanting to know where he came
from, why he came, who he belong
ed to, and offering to whip him just
for fun. That, of course, brought
ON a general dog convention. The
attendants talked to Pantomime.
Ed. Gilmore came in at an unusually
early hour, looked about put his
1nger iii his ears and fled, shOwling
at the door that it would take ten
barrels of cologne to get the smell
of dog out of the building"

Pearl Fishing.


Ceylon newspapers mention the
excitement prevailing in that island
in March in connection with the re-
sumption of pearl fishing. The
pearl oyster produces its best pearls
when about four years old, so that
the great object kept in view by di-
vers is not to take any that have not
reached that period of existence.
This has led the authorities to Pro-
hibit fishing on the several banks
except at intervals of four years, but
this system has resulted IN other IN
conveniences, in-as-much as the mol
luskS are beset with divers danger
Gus enemies, who, it is cOntended,
make frightful havoc on a bank III
one season if it be not fshed. The
Government is not intent upon dis
covering what is the right time for
bed to lie dormant. The expert
ences of recent years give ten mll-
lion oysters as the average crop of a
bank, and the average pearls found
would amount to two per cent
When one thousand oysters produce
one hundred dollars worth of pearls
it is considered a very remunerative
product. A hundred pearls of the
size of pins head are not worth
one as large as a pea. Ten thousand
people are directly or indirectly en-
gagged in this industry. In the last
great haul in 1874 a million and {
quarter oysters were taken on One
bank, which was sold for fifty thou
sand dollars.

The Baltimore Gazette thinks ''Mr. Mac
Yeah has so strikingly demonstrated his
ability to cope successfully with the cham
pion blackguard of the age, that we can
not help regretting that he is not mem
ber of the House. 1t would be a great
comfort to have somebody handy to clap
down the matches when the General begins
to get offensive, as he is sure to do at the
first opportunity"
The above is quoted with approval by
the Pittsburgh Telegraph, which apparently
intends it as complimentary notice of Mr..
MacVeah. If the opprobrium heaPed up
on Mr.. Butler, becomes merit in Mr.. Mac
Yeah when successfully ooped with, the
latter certainly has a compliment to enjoy,
But our chief object in noticing the arti-
Gle is the low abuse cast upon the charac-
ter of man who in every place he has fill
ed, has acquitted himself and served his
country well. Rebels, whether male or'te-
male, have found his loyalty and resources
too much for them, and they have found
him hard snag to run against. Smartln
under the defeat of their malicious mach
nations, -bilingsgate- beast,
and 'blackguard, &c., have been hurled
at him in their impotent rage. All sorts
of ISLANDERS and falsehoods have been in
vented for his injury and destruction, but
they do not affect him. He is more than
master of the situation, every time. Reb-
eli impudence, in the House as well as else
where, has got nothing but defeat and
modification in return for their 1ippancy
and haste in making an attack upon him.
The pitiful part of this whole thing is
that Republican and quasi-Republican pa
pers have sympathized with the abusers OF
this extraordinary-and as far as has been
shown-patriotic statesman, and Joined in
hurting at him necessarily such opprobri-
um as is seen in the paragraph quoted 1t
is one of the weaknesses of human nature,
that higher enjoyment is realized in tra-
ducing and abusing man, than in speak
ing we'll of him, and especially is this in
diligence sweetened, when current shall
have been started in that direction-no
matter by whom, or for what end, it shall
have been started, Independence OF
thought and honest convictions in this
matter, can hardly bring man to any
other conclusions than those of contempt
for the kennel that do the yelping, and a
greater respect for the object Of pursuit.

Mrs. Chisolm has published an account
of the Kempen Co. Massacre, which thrills
every feeling of indignation. All the more
so, perhaps, because we are under the reign
of Cancellation, with sanctions and pledg-
es from the South to carry out the terms of
compact to this end. If in the face OF
such pledges, the chivalry of Mississippi
pursue, shoot down, and mangle SUCH a
little band as if each victim, male or fe-
male, was wild beast, it is well calculated
to upset our confidence and faith in all
such pledges as have been given in a sort
of resiprocity to the Presidents Overtures.
1t was mob of men against family, If
the father and his sons had been guilty of
all the crimes in the calendar, stained with
blood, and dangerous to be at large, they
could not have been pursued with more
vindictive determination. Mrs. Chisolm
declares that her husband was killed be
cause he was Union Republican. Dem
ocratic papers affect to turn this off by
saying that it was mere feud between
neighbors. This may do for political ef-
feet. But is it impossible fer Mississippi
to institute strict inquiry into this horri-
BILE affair, fix the responsibility, and pun
ish the murderers?

=
ed at a Police station.
The Mrs Rutherford B. Hayes
temperance society, of Washington,
has attracted some attention through
the newspapers, and attempts have
been made to bring it into ridieule,
but it is unworthy of them, and is
really doing great good in a quiet
way. It's origin was interesting ana
neculiar. A number of local news
naper reporters were sitting in the
police station the evening after the
Grand dukes dinner at the White
House. and were discussing Mrs,
Haves' action in regard to wine. 1t
met their unanimous approval, and
the opinion was concurred in by all
that the example thus set in the
White House would have an excel
lent effect upon official life here and
social habits throughout the coun-
try. One of the number who W; s
notoriously hard drinker, surprised
his fellows bv expressing violent
admiration for Mrs. Hayes course,
and declared that he would qu I
5r;nL-ipo untiI wine was reintrGduced
into the White House; and ne oounI
himself to the VOW by shaking
Lnnds ON it, all around. Several
others in the party were accustomed
to drink occasionally, but, feeling
desire to strengthen the man who
had ''iust sworn of, ;" they all joined
him in the pledge, and it was then
determined to notify Mrs. Hayes of
this immediate and direct effect of
her example. In discussing the
method of notifying her, one Of
them proposed that they form tenn
perance society to be called by her
name, and invite other newspaper
men to join it. The proposal was
unanimously adopted, a pledge and
certificate of membership was writ
ten out and signed by all present,
each solemnly swearing on the po-
lice court Bible to abstain from all
Intoxicating liquors, and to do all in
his power to secure abstinence IN
others.
One of the reporters thought the
best way to notify Mrs. Hayes would
be to publish an account of the or
ganization OF the society and send
her a marked copy of the paper.
Merely an announcement was made,
and notice given incidentally that a
meeting of the society would be held
at the Central police-statiOn that
evening. Much to the surprise OF
the boys, the idea was very popular,
and about hundred people attend
ed the meeting, filing the police sta
ton to overfowing, so that there
had to be an adjournment to an ad-
Joining hall. Since then about three
hundred have signed the pledge, and
meetings are held each Tuesday eve
ming, which are largely attended.
