MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

OLD ADAM WITHIN Us.-Wick-
edness and crime form the theme of
nearly all the newspaper gossip, and
men devour with perfect greediness
all the sickening details of deed of
blood. Indeed a strict gdherence to
truth will force us to the admission
that we are little more than educated
barbarians, whose instincts will fire.
quently crop out upon the slightest
encouragement. There is not, per-
haps, boy in all the land who has
not taken an interest, intense and all
absorbing, in closely contested en-
counter between a terrier and rat.
There is not a man among us who
has not at times felt the barbarian
blood boiling in his veins as he gazed
in raptuous delight upon a contest
between two game cocks in his barn
yard. 1t is the old Adam within us,
and ages of civilizing influences may
serve to eradicate it, but the time is
not yet.

- THE account lately published in a
London paper of exciting trips of two
boats drawn by whales in Boston har-
Dor is suggestive. How simplifed
ocean navigation would be if whales
could be generally used for this pur-
pose! 1t might not be necessary or
desirable, however, to confne the
enterprise to whales; other fishes
could as well be put under similar
training. The lively sword-6sh and
the festive shark naturally suggest
themselves as fitting subjects. Moral
suasion, of course, would not always
be successful with these creatures,
but the means adapted to each case
could be readily employed. Our
aquarinms would then rival the me-
nageries as great moral exhibitions,
and our system OF training schools
be supplied with the subjects in
which, it has hitherto been painfully
deficient. We throw out these sug-
gestions tentatively, not wishing to
anticipate the wOrkingslof such in
stitutions. Il is enough for Us to
suggest the glOFiods possibilities
within reach u those who will devote
t',emselVs. uhScservedly 10 the estAb-

STRANGER THAN FIcTIoN."-A sto-
ry-comes from Michigan of a widow
woman whose husband provided in
his will that, in order to receive his
property she must marry again with
in thirteen months, the ceremony
being performed in a barn in the
dark. The marriage came off accord
ing to the provisions of the will, but
four different persons had been pay
ing attention to the widow, and no
one but herself knew who was the
favored one. They were all there,
and each ever after protested that
he had held her hand and been mar.
ried to her in the barn on that event
full night. She knew whom she in
tended to marry, but could not swear
that she had been married to the
right one. The Clergyman knew
nothing about it, and the question
was a difficult one. However, one
of the men took possession ot the
woman and bought the others off for
$4,000 apiece.
