"To some minds, education is like the
/ notion of adress-sOmething which should
be literally trimmed, which should have
its rough edges bound, its basting threads

To man weighing two hundred
pounds, hanging appears TO be rather
pleasant. Mr.. Burns, Of Missouri
person of that weight, was hanged four
times, and he says that he lost con-

OF Chicken Charley, Salt Lake thief,
it is said "He will steal nothing but
chickens. You can trust him anywhere
or with anything but chickens. II he
comes into the society of chickens, he Is
bound TO steal them. He has served out
several imprisonments for this same
crime, the last year in the penitentiary;
but he was no sooner free man than he
was INDUCING his old passion"

The flies buzz about the surface Of the
water in myriads. When scoOped of
the water they seem to be perfectly help
less. They are thrown upon mats to die
and dly in the sun. They are then
rubbed between the hands to break of
the legsand wings, which latter parts are
, winnowed out and the bodies packed IN
sacks and baskets for winter use When
boiled the flies turn red looking and

The phenomenon Of phosphoresence at
sea has generally been supposed TO be
} caused by electricity. Sci ntists now as
sert that electricity has nothing to do
f with the matter. They claim that IL IS
: due to miorOzOa which exists far down in

THE old Egyptian and Assyrian had
the downward slope Of the eye and no
calves on the legs. The same with the
Greeks and other old savsges The men
had no calves. Wherever we end the
downward slope Of the eye and no calves
we find fanaticism aud Ignorance. Show

fanatic. In Massachusetts, we have a
statesman with a downward slope OF the
. eye, or rather both eyes and he Is q

noses. Having small noses they munehed
