THE toilet of the fly is as carefully
attended to as that of the most
frivolous of human insects. With a
contempt for the looking-glass, he
brushes himself up and wabbles his
little round head, chuck full of vani-
ty, wherever he happens to be. Some
times, after a long day of dissipa-
ton and flirting, with his six small
legs and little round body all soiled
with syrup and butter and cream, he
passes out of the dining-room and
wings his way to the clean white cord
along which the morning-glories
climb, and in this retired spot, heed
less of the crafty spider that is prac-
tising gymnastics a few feet above
him, he proceeds to purify and
sweeten himself for the refreshing
repose and soft dreams of the balmy
summer night, so necessary to one
who is expected to be early at break
fast! 1t is wonderful toilet. Re-
sting himself on his front and mid
die legs, he throws his hind legs
rapidly over his body, binding down
his frail wings for an instant with
the pressure, then raking them over
with a backward motion, which he
repeats until they are bright and
clear. Then he pushes the two legs
along his body under the wings, Civ
ing that queer structure thorough
currying, every now and then throw
ing the legs out and rubbing them
together to remove what he has col
lected from his corporeal surface.

Oft, but no fly ever committed sui

much resemble those of pussy at her

eye, that he does his work thorough

like new fly, so clean and neat has
he made himself within few min
utes. The white cord is deflcd, but

In London Tower.

Fortune gave me good day al
the tower of London. The sky
lowered. The wind blew with angry
gusts. The rain fell now and then
in a chill drizzle. The river was
dark and sullcn. If the spirits Of
the dead come back to haunt any
place, they surely come back to
haunt this one, and this was a day
for their presence. One dark ghost,
in particular, seemed present at
every step-the baleful shade of the
grim Duke of Gloster. The little
room in which the princes are said to
have been murdered by his order is
shown, and the oratory where King
Henry vi. is supposed to have met
his bloody death, and the council
chamber into which Richard rushed,
from an ambush behind the arras, to
denounce the wretched Hastings.
This latter place is now used as an
armory; but the same roof covers it
which rang with the bitter invective
of Gloster, the rude clamor of his
soldiers, and the cries of his frigh-
tened victim, who was plucked forth
from under the table where he had
taken refuge, dragged down stairs
and beheaded on a stick of wood in
the courtyard. This tower is
place for such deeds and you almost
wonder that they do not happen still
in its gloomy chambers. The room
in which the princes were killed is
the most murderous in aspect that
could be imagined. 1t is an inner
room, small and dark. A barred
window in one of its walls fronts a
window on the other side of the out
side passage by which you approach
it. This window is but a few feet
from the floor and doubtless the mur-
derers paused to look through it as
they went to their hellish work upon
the poor children of King Edward.
The room is empty now. The en-
trance was pointed out to secret
passage by which this chamber could
be-and doubtless was-approached
from the foot of the tower. The
oratory in which King Henry vi.
was slaughtered-if, indeed, the
story be true-is where the crown
jewels are exhibited in large glass
case. There is a crown here of vel
vet and gold, which was made for
poor little Anne Boleyn. You may
pass across the courtyard and pause
on the spot where this unhappy lady
was beheaded, and you may walk
hence, over the very ground that her
last trembling footsteps traversed, to
the round tower in which she lived.
Her grave is an the chancel of
little antique church close by. /
saw the cell of Raleigh, and that
direful chamber which is scrawled
all over with the names and emblems
of prisoners who therein suffered
confinement and lingering agony,
nearly always ending in death; but
| saw no sadder place than Anne
Boleyn's tower. 1t seemed in the
strongest way eloquent of mute suf-
fering. 1t seemed to exhale grief
and to plead for love and pity

WHOSE Ok IS GoRED?-The New
York World says with truth that il
one twentieth part of the uproar and
and lawlessness which have lately
disgraced the great States of New
York and Pennsylvania had occur
red in Virginia and North Carolina
every radical newspaper and spouter
in the North would have united in
clamoring that the "Southern policy"
of President Hayes was a disastrous
failure and insisting that those an
cient Commonwealths should be re-
duced to the condition again of mill
tary provinces. While New York
has reserted her authority within her
own border Pennsylvania is largely
depending upon the federal army for
the restoration of law. Yet the
Blaines and Buffers have raised no
voice to ask that she should be made
a military province.

civilization of the age in which they
live and properly belong to that class
of people whose end is foreshadowed
by the Gospel words, "what shall it
profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul" Those
''high minded men" that the poet
speaks of as constituting State, are
not found among the purely selfish.
They do not begrudge the payment
of all the just claims that the state,
that society, and that common hui
mainly have against them; but rather
delight in the discharge of what, to
them, is precious duty. The selfish
miser belongs to the other extreme,
and is therefore the contrast, as is the
darkness of night to the brightness
of day. Viewing the race as whole,
he is seen to be an important factor
In the world, but altogether OF the
negative order, bearing the same rela-
ton to the honest, noble and gener-
Gus man as the shadow to the sun
light, pain to pleasure, or vice to
virtue. If there is anybody in Clarke
County who, upon reading the above,
feels cut thereby, we'll and good, our
object was to cut them, and we hope,
for their sakes, they will review their
lives and make preparation for re-
form; but we indulge in the further
hope that there are no such men in
these borders.

Decorating Graves.

Complaints have been made lately by
those having relatives and friends bur-
led in the Military Cemetary, that
some parties. too low to respect the sa-
cred resting places of the dead, much
less themselves. are i'll the habit of
plucking flowers ard shrubs from the
graves. Not satisfied with taking the
flowers they have in some cases pulled
up the roots also, seemingly for no pur-
pose whatever save righteousness.
There may, perhaps, be those in the
community who have never learned to
respect the graves of the dead, or that
flowers and mementos placed there by
loving friends are entitled to the same
respect as if they were growing in a
garden or greenhouse. If any such
there be, it is time they were taken in
hand by some missionary for little in
struction. To those who would wanton-
ly trespass in such places, we warn
them that there is law of the Territory
which will punish them severely when
its clutches find them. Somebody will
get caught at this dastardly conduct,
and then an example will be made OF
them.

The Selfish Man.

Selfshness is one of the ruling
forces in the world. Self-preservation
is the first law of nature, and this in
cludes as well the provision for mans
bodily wants, the necessaries of life,
as the protection of his person and
his family. This principle is the
groundwork of all the business of
life, the basis upon which the struct-
ure of human life is built; but while
there is truth in this statement as a
fundamental proposition, and all men
intuitively recognize it, how mean
and despicable is the character which
can never rise TO any motive higher
than that of selfishness. There are a
great many men in this world, who,
when their motives are carefully
traced, are found to be purely selfish.
They live, move and breathe all for
self. If they give aims, they do it
openly and to be seen of men and
look eagerly to see their names print
ed among the list of donors. They
are generally found among the oppos-
ers of public improvements, are gar
rulous and grouty about paying taxes
and chemically clamorous for a re-
duction of public expenses. Many OF
them will perjure themselves rather
than furnish the assessor with true
list of their property, and will send
their money out of the county, where
by the grace of God they have earned
it, and thus escape the payment of
their just proportion of the revenue
required in the administration Of the
law that protects them and their pos
sessions. Such men are parasites on
the body polite, draw back to the

Notice to Public School Teachers.

Realizing the necessity of securing
more competent teachers for our pub
lie schools, l shall on the occasion Of
the public examination of teachers on
the third Friday and Saturday of the
present month, require all applicants
to give correct answers to at least
seven tenths of the questions pro-
pounded, to entitle them to a certif
icate to teach. They will also as
heretofore, be required to furnish sat
isfactory evidence of good moral
character. These regulations will be
strictly adhered to, and teachers will
do well TO remember this and govern
themselves accordingly. My reasons
for this new rule in examinations will
be readily seen by all those who have
correct ideas on this subject. Those
who may not understand the necess-
ity of the requirement, are especially
invited 10 peruse an article which
will appear on the first page Of the

there has been splendid marble quar-
ry found ON the North Fork of Lewis
River, about ten miles from Pekin. Mr..
J. w. Strong was one of the party. I
saw a small piece of the marble, it
looked to be good. Mr.. Strong says
there is any quantity of it. | also
understand that the same parties found
good groupings for copper and gold
bearing quartz. Stone coal has been
found, so one of the party told me. He
said the ledge was about six inches
thick where they quit working it, they
thought the prospect was good for coal.
They say they tried some of it and it
burned well.
