The School House Conspiracy.

The scene is laid within half a mile
of the Clay School, Detroit. Twenty
one of the largest boys gathered in
solemn council in IL corner OF the yard
and decided TINT they were too big to be
licked by any school teacher walking the
face of the earth. After arriving ut that
decision q conspiracy was entered into.
The biggest boy in the crowd was to
bring on a conflict with the teacher as
soon as possible, and the other twenty
were 70 back him.
"Death to towards !" shouted II rs
the plan was all fixed.
"No backing down-no hesitation j.
cried another.
"A rush together-one wild yell
one mad struggle, and victory will be
ours !" yelled the smallest of the lot.
It was q desperate plan.
The school-house was not defended by
even q Calling gun.
It might be the commencement OF q
rebellion which would not end until
every school-house in the land was
turned into IN establishment for the
sale of mourning goods.
Scene second came fifteen minutes
later. The innocent teacher looked
around upon her scholars without the
least suspicion that fierce rebellion was
brewing. The clock licked the same as
ever. The. boy across the street pound
ed on an old tin pan the same as ever.
The big conspirator wa suddenly seen
to throw a paper wad across the room.
He was ordered to come forward. He
said he didn't have to.
1t was a moment of peril, but the
teacher didn't realize it. She walked
down the aisle, took the big conspiratol
by the collar, and in ten minutes he
wondered whether he was down cellar
or up in the garnet, while twenty other
boys grew white around the mouth,
bent to their lessons with renewed en-
ergy, and mentally whispered:
"Be still, thou wildly beating heart
wait till T grow O foot or two more! !"
The big conspirator is now thrashing
them in solemn succession. He reached
number eighteen yesterday.

The Wife'S Choice.

The Evansville (Ind.) Journal says:
A certain man in this vicinity, whose
name we are not at liberty to give, went
into the army, and ut the close of the
war his family could hear nothing from
him, and for four years after-eight from
the time. he left homc-they still heard
nothing from him and believed him to be
dead. The woman, feeling no doubt OF
his death, was married to another, and
they lived happily together for six
months, when, to the surprise OF all, her
first husband returned and gave what
seemed to the family q sufficient II
for his long and mysterious absence.
But now what could be done? The two
mel met and in friendly manner talked
the matter over and each felt that no one
was to blame for the circumstances. The
parties agreed, however, to leave the
wife for a few days, and at m appointed
hour and moment the three should meet
and the wife should decide whose wife
she should be-. The decision Was to be
final and the man not received should
leave the vicinity. With this arrange
ment each complied. The decisive mo-
ment, the important time arrived and
the woman decided that he who had been
her first husband should be her last. The
other procured his divorce and left for
other parts.

A Modern Robinson CruS0e

George Hosley, formerly Of Arlington
VT, turns up at Ross, West Coast, New
Zealand, after being missing for twenty
one years aud writes home of his advent
ures. He had started to return to this
country eight years ago, after accumu-
lating a small fortune in the gold dig
gings, but reports of al Ell Dorado, sixty
miles off, drew him away, and the steam
er had sailed when he had only discover
ell the r,lmor worthless, Starting short
ly afterward with two companions for
supposed gold fields, several hundred
miles away on the West Coast, their
boat was wrecked in a terrible gale, and
he alone reached the shore by swim
ming, badly bruised and bereft of all
his provisions, clothing, and $1,000 in
gold. He was two hundred miles from
civilization, and lived on birds, berries,
and such, for six weeks when a ship
sailed ten miles from the coast, but not
noticing the smoke Of his fire, left him
in despair for three weeks longer, when
a small schooner took him off to Hoki-
tika, the. nearest settlement. He has
been in the gold fields up to the date
of his letter, July %. 1877.

Good News for HumDbacks,

"Thank God, the days of the hump.
hack are ended" said DR.. Sayre, at a
recent meeting of the Cork branch of
the British Medical Association. His
method of treatment of spinal diseases
is to give complete and continued rest
day and night OF the point where the in
fammation exists, perfect freedom from
compression and at the same time abso-
lutte immobility, SO enabling consolida-
ton to take place. His process involves
the temporary suspension Of the patient
in a peculiar apparatus by which the
weight of the head and shoulders is taken
off the spine, and the application of a
~skin-ftting shirt coated over with plaster
Of Paris. A sufficient u for the
patients food is secured by laying a cot
ton pad or India rubber bag beneath the
shirt, over the stomach. until the outer
case is hardened, after which it is re-
moved. DR.. Sayre exhibited a patient,
a young man of nineteen, who had suf-
fered from an angular curvature of the
spine, the angle Of this curvature being
about 100 degrees, and was only able to
move about by putting his hands on his
knees or catching. at the furniture. Al
ter six weeks treatment the patient was
perfectly erect and had gained three
quarters of an inch in hight, he had tax
en-, unassisted, a walk of four miles, and
the bone was rapidly developing. In the
case Of another sufferer, a little boy of
seven, affected with curvature of the
lumbar vertebr@, marked benefit had
followed O very brief treatment,

Origin OF Names.

A largo number OF names derive their
origin from the seasons, as Winter and
Spring; many others from the elements,
US Frost, Snow, Flood; good or bad for
tune; points of the compass, as North.
South, East, West; dignities, Offices, ag-
riculture, utensils and astronomy; and
also from animals, as Wolf, Lamb, Lion,
Cat; vegetables, minerals, colors, arms,
etc. But by far the most numerous class
of surnames are those which had their
rise in certain trades or professions, of
which q few are-Webster, q weaver;
Baily, a bailiff; Fletcher: a maker of ar
rows from the French feche); Tucker,
a cloth fuller, to say nothing of the very
obvious Butcher, Baker, Carpenter,
etc. A search i'll the old statute-books
will furnish plenty of such names as
Robertus de Bakester Baxter? Simon
Ironmonger, John Daylaborer, etc. An
other very fertile source of derivation
was from places, as Gilbertus Anglicus,
Godefridus de Meanwhile, Henricus de
Hessia, Guliemus Parisiensis, ETC., and
most Of the names terminating in by,
ham, ton and vile, belong to this class.
Further a large number of surnames
were originally patronymics-that is to
say, names formed. by the addition OF
son, or some other word expressive of a
similar relation to the paternal name.
The Normans superadded Fitz (the old
French for 6ls), as Fitz-Allan, Fitz.G Ger,
aid, Fitz- Walter ; the Irish o, as O'Don-
nell; the Scotch Mac, a MacDougall;
and the Welsh Ap, as Apthomas. It was
once remarked to the writer as curious
that Ben should be such common name
among the Hebrews. and considerable
surprise was manifested when it was
pointed out that it was originally a pre-.
Ak, Ben-hadad being simply the son Of
Hadad.

A Light In the Window.

OFF the coast of one of the Orkney
Islands, and right opposite the harbor,
stood a lonely rock against which, in
stormy nights, the boats of returning
fishermen often struck and were lost.
Fifty years ago there lived on this
island a young girl in a cottage with her
father and they loved each other very
tenderly. One stormy night the father
was away on the sea in his tisherman's
boat, and though his daughter watched
for him in much fear and trouble, he did
not come home. Sad to tell, in the
morning his dead body was found washed
upon the beach. His boat, as he sought
the harbor, had struck against the
"Lonely Rock" and gone down.
In her deep sorrow, this tisherman's
orphan did not think Of herself alone.
She was scarcely more than a child,
humble, poor and weak ; but she sold III
her heart, that while she lived no more
boats should be wrecked, no more boats
should be lost Oh the "Lonely Rock"
if a light shining through the window
would guide them safely into the harbor:
And so, after Watching by the body of
her father, according to the custom OF
her people, until it was buried, she laid
down and slept through the day +; but
when night fell, arose, and lighting a
candle, placed it in the window of her
cottage, so that it might be seen by any
fisherman coming in from sea, and guide
him safely into the harbor. She sat by
the candle all night and trimmed it, and
spun ; but when the day dawned she
went to bed and slept.
As many hanks as she had spun before
for her daily bread she spun still, and
one over, to buy her nightly candle; and
from that time to this, for fifty years,
through youth, maturity, and old age,
she has turned night into day, and in
the snow storms of winter, Through
driving mists, deceptive moonlight and
solemn darkness, that northern harbor
has never once been without the light of
her candle.
How many lives she saved by this
candle, and how many meals she won by
it for the starving families of the boat
men, it is impossible to say. How many
dark nights the fishermen, depending on
it, have gone forth, cannot be told.
There it stood, regular as q lighthouse,
steadily as constant care could make it.
Always brighter when daylight waned,
the fishermen had only to keep it on
stantly in view, and were safe ; there
was but one thing to intercept it, and
that was the rock. However far they
might have gone ont to sea, they had
only to bear doSn for that lighted win
dow, and they were SIRE of q a.e en-
trance to the harbor.
But what DO the boatmen's wives
think of this? Do they pay the poor
woman? No !; they are very poor ; but
poor or rich, they know better than that.
DO they thank her? No. Perhaps they
think that thanks of theirs would be in
adequate to express their gratitude ; or
perhaps long years have made the light
ed easement so familiar that they look
upon it as a matter of course, and forget
for the time the patient watcher within.

A uniuue Case.

There is now in this city, says the
Wilmington IN. O. Star, IL of the
most remarkable specimens of humanity
that has been known to inhabit the
earth since the days of Adam. He is
colored, and goes by the name of DR..
George Thomas, and seems to have liter
al control of his entire physical nature,
being able, by the simple exercise Of his
will, as it were, to change Mt pleasure
the location of the macllineryofhi his body ;
beside Which, he is possessed of muscle
of the consistency of iron, which he is
capable of developing to u remarkable
degree. For instance, he takes d solid
bar of iron Of about three inches in cir
conference and some three or four feet
in length, holding it i'll Il hand, and
bends il by striking it repeatedly across
his disengaged arm, the blows being
sufficiently vigorous to break the limb Of
any ordinary man, but which do not
seem to have the slightest effect upon
his own, the muscles of which are as
hard as the iron itself. He then
straightens the bar in the same manner.
He asks you to feel the pulse in his
WTlSC, duu IL DehIS WILL tuc Sdllt TeSu-
larity and power of that of an ordinary
mortal ; but, by a sudden but almost
imperceptible movement of the muscle
of the arm, the pulsation suddenly ceases
altogether, but is in reality removed
from it's original position. Byt the ex-
ertion Of the same power it is then re-
stored at pleasure to its proper place.
He can also remove his ribs from his
side to the abdominal region, where
they can be distinctly felt, and return
them to their proper place at will ;
while by the exercise of the same power
the heart is changed from the left to the
right side of the body. Two of our
physicians, we learn. examined this re-
markable specimen of humanity, and
were astonished at the extraordinary de-
velopments which resulted from a prac-
tical test of the wonderful powers of the
man. One of the physicians was asked
to place his ear to the region of the
heart, and it's beatings were regular and
distinctly noted but suddenly there
was an entire cessation of the throbbing,
and on the instant his companion, who
had his ear to the right side of his body.
exclaimed that he could then detect the
beating of his heart on that side.

Beavers ut Work.

In almost my stream in the mountain
Gus parts of Wyoming Territory, You
may find more or less beavers OF beaver
dams. But Green river and this whole
region, writes a member of Hayden's
surveying party, surpasses any place 1
know of as q resort for these animals,
now so scarce east OF the Mississippi.
In therocky canon higher up, this creek
wa thirty or forty yards across, nor
would it have been much wider in the
more open valley below had it not been
impeded. But for a dozen miles the
beavers had so damned it and choked it
with their houses, that the water spread
out to q mile Or more in width, and hun
dreds of dead or living trees, once far
back from the margin, were standing
equally far out in the water. Some of
the dams measured 100 or more feet in
length, and were built on a curve, with
the hollow OF the curve mp stream, yet
so. substantially that they were standing
the beating Of the freshet with slight
damage. All along the bank of the
stream the hillside was bare of aspens,
aud their stumps, cut off close to the
ground, showed what had destroyed
them. Some Of the stumps were of
trees ten or twelve inches in diameter,
and seventy-fve yards from the water,
yet there wa no doubt that these rodents
had felled those trees, trimmed off the
branches, peeled away the bark, and
then dragged the log all tho way to the
water to put into a new dam or repair an
old one. Indeed, we surprised some Of
them at work. Most Of the dams were
shorter than those I have mentioned,
and run from one to another, so that there
was a network of them supporting q
growth Of willows, and each enclosing a
little basin of deep, still water, in which
would rise like AL island the domed top
Of their home. But the houses of many
were under the bank, aud of others be-
meath the dams, as we could see, by the
paths to them, which showed plainly
through the water. Wherever the will
lows grew closely to the waters edge
for some distance there would be roads
through them at frequent intervals, the
stems gnawed off anu the weeds trodden
down smooth. "Busy RS u beaver" &C
c~easelessly he must work to get his daily
food, collect his winter stores, keep his
house in order, repair his dam, and
guard against enemies. We saw none
OF the animals themselves. They are
rarely seen by any one, being able to
detect your approach by the jar of the
ground, if not otherwise, and hide them
selves.-Boston Herald.
