We are obliged to the New Century Art
Publication company for one of their ex-
Quisit chromos, but we feel compelled to re-
turn it with the request that they send US some
less elaborate study in its stead. This picture,
Autumn Scenes on American Farms" is
beautiful enough, the atmosphere is marked
with rare transparency, the foreground is
marvellous copy of nature, the perspective
is perfect, the high light, middle tint and
background are all good, the drawing is ac-
curate, and the coloring delicate and natural,
and we will say the other things about it when
the company sends us the other art stand.
But we cannot hang it up in our house. We
have son, who will in all probability be
raised in the city, and we cannot, without do
ing violence to the feelings of father, per-
NIT the hope and staff of our declining years
to grow up, and by constant study of that
picture, fall into the belief that American
farmers, in tight boots and claw-hammer
coats, and their wives and daughters in
princesse dresses and valenciennes lace and
kid slippers, 60 out in the autumn with pair
of blooded horses and basket phaton, and
gather blood-red and golden yellow apples off
the same spreading, gnarled and rugged oak
tree, glowing in all the splendor of the au-
tumn glorifed maple. Take back your pic
and give US David and Goliah, with green
grass and red blood. Don't put in much
grass, but pile on the blood.

MOrtOn'S Credit.

On one occasion the demand for troops was
so great that he decided to urge them to 60 to
Washington without their bounty money. At
midnight he called up one regiment and
stated the case. They agreed to 60 because
you have requested us, Governor Morton, but
for no other reason" The Governors heart
failed him-the conduct of the men was too
generous The executive oi the State of In
diana proceeded on begging tour in the
capital The, first bank he came to greeted
him with, mo, we've no currency on hand. :"
The president of thenext bank asked, "What
do you want" Money" was the reply.
''Get out; we haven't got any. What secur-
ity can you give? ''Only my individual
name! sir, said the Governor. individual
name!" thundered the bank officer. ''How
much do YOU want, and what do you want it
for?' The Governor explained the dire nec-
essity, and said he wanted fifty thousand dol
lars "What have you got to carry it in ?"
and without waiting for an answer. the Off
Ger produced basket, laid in it fifty $1,000
bills, and handed it over with the exclama-
ton: ''There, sir; leave me memorandum

more than half a million of dollars, for
which the banks charged no interest, and

Some Things That Beecher said.

Beecher prayed on Sunday that Hayes
might be brought to fear God and he led to
work righteousness in the affairs of the Gov
ernment. Several persons were formally
taken into the church. Beecher admonished
them to 'savoid all causes of scandal" The
text of the sermon was, ''But though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day." Beecher said that
within the man of passions and earthly de-
sires there is better spiritual man, which
comprises the higher sentiments. Some men
seem to be what they are not. They are like
corn that is measured on the cob. 1t takes
three and one-half bushels of corn on the
cob to make one bushel of shelled corn.
There are men who make great show of
piety and good works who are really dwarfs
in righteousness. They talk loud, but there
is no telephone between them and heaven.

Lodged in q Corn Crib.

When Andrew jackson was young man
attending court at Rogersville. Tennessee, he
lived at a hotel famous for its good cheer.
One day, rs he sat on the piazza, youth came
riding along dressed in the pink Of fashion,
his eyes fixed on vacancy, replying not to the
salutes which it was the custom OF the times
for strangers to give each other. At glance
Jackson saw the fop, and determined to play
the part of Boniface. He welcomed the silent
stranger with distinguished pcliteness, and
the company about the fire made room for
him. But the automaton was not to be won
to conversation. He walked up and down
the room contemplating bis own graces, and
presently, exclaimed, commandingly:
Landlord, want supper"
Supper was spread and the stately youth
devoured it. Then he resumed his walk,
answered not word to the remarks of the
fireside circle of lawyers and judges, and
Jackson grew more and more wrathful.
Landlord, want to go to bed!" was the
next demand and he added, Il want room
to myself"
jackson represented that the house was
full, and there was no single room to be had !;
the young fellow was not TO be moved. Jack
son disappeared, and shortly returned, an
nouncing that the guests room was ready.
The two went off through the front door, all
the company following, and stopped-at the
corn crib, through the cracks of which a
light was shining.
'There's your room," said Jackson.
''Do wish to insult me, sir?"
mo insult at all, sir. You vowed you
would not sleep in room with any one, and
demanded a room by yourself. There it is,
sir.
II vow l will not sleep there" said the
dandy.
''By the Eternal, you shall !" exclaimed
Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he sent him
at one toss into the crib and locked the door.
And there he staid all night, and in the morn
ing he was released and dismissed breakfast
less by the impetuous Jackson. This is a
tale related by an ancient lady of Rogersville.

Old Days I'm Washin ki6ii:

Mrs. General Green, lady years ago we'll
known in Washington society, has been CIV
ing q correspondent her "reminiscences OF the
old days at the National hotel. Here are
several:
Il was SO ill one time that my life wae
despaired of. Into my Tom came Mime. La
Vert. I could not go, Mrs. Green, without
showing you my lovely Shoes She lifted up
her party dress, and danced about in her pink
satin boots, asked if they were not pretty,
aud at last danced off like fairy to her ball
room. began to mend from the time saw
those pink shoes. Poor Mme La. Vert died
last year, in poverty so bitter that she had not
cent to call her own.
''1Irs. Mills was Adbitue of the hotel.
Sne was very rich. Her daughter married
Fernando Wood, and for this reason became
so bitter that there was no communication
between mother and child, and she willed
even her pictures to gallery, SO that Wood
never should have them to adorn his walls.
Once she sat in her carriage while went in
to call upon her daughter. The carriage
stood at little distance. The elegant house
was crowded. 1t was reception-day. When
reached the carriage Mrs. Mills said ex-
citedly, How is she How does she look
How did she receive you? What did she

to me how she is, she said coldly, drawing
her furs about her neck. Mrs. Wood Is now
insane, and Mrs. Mills fell from hotel win
dow and killed herself one Fourth of July,
two years ago or three.
"in this hotel also lived Myra Gaines, poor
as mouse, running up bills to be paid when
she came into her Inheritance. She owes
Charles O'Conor about $4,000. She owes
board bills every place in Washington, and
her store bills have been running for twenty

at her expressing her loss in that way, but
while she was still rummaging discovered

A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.
How Savage was Dealt With in the Black
Hills,

Last April, man named Roberts, who
went out to the Hills from Delaware, was
captured by the Indians near Deadwood.
When they had robbed him of everything
except shirt and pants, six Of the seven red
skins were in favor OF turning him loose and
letting him get back to the city. The seventh
Indian protested against this action, and when
he had to submit to the majority he struck
Roberts in the mouth with the head of his
tomahawk, smashing out several teeth and
inficting other injuries. Roberts took good
look at the warrior, and as he was turned
loose he vowed to get even if he had to stay
out there until Darwin turned back into
babOOn.
The mills of the gods grind for the savages
as we'll as for white men. Roberts and others
have a camp about two miles from Dead
wood. Indian beggars and loafers come into
all the camps almost daily, and the other day
the old top-knot who played smash with the
Delaware mans teeth, entered the camp and
wanted to trade lot of fresh venison for
bar-lead. Roberts identified him in IN in
stant, and the venison and the savage were
''jerked" at one and the same moment.
All the men in the camp knew how Rob-
erts had been served, and when he had the
right man in his grasp, there was no one to
plead the other side of the case. The Indian
was staked down on the grass. as first move.
He recognized Roberts, and realizing that the
hour of reckoning had come, he whinned like
a dog. He offered rife, knife, and all else
to settle the dentistry business, but the miner
couldn't have been bought off for $40, 000
When he got ready he went TO work with the
red mans tomahawk and deliberately knocked
out every tooth he could get at, and be didn't
miss great many. The Indian had no more
grit than boy, but yelled like regiment OF
cavalry going into fight. A tooth for a
tooth was not enough for Roberts, and he
coolly sliced off his victims ears, working
slowly and doing a frst-rate job. Then he
| sheared the warriors top-knot off and turned
him loose to find his friends and receive their
praises on his early assumption of fall styles.
| The wretch didn't wait second after being
told to go-didn't even ask for his ears as
pocket pieces. Roberts had them pinned up
as relics, with bag full of teeth hanging
| above them, and to strangers he explains
| 1.-The burned Injun who picks my molars
with his Thomas hawk wants to leave the
country on the very first train, or he'll wish

What They Meant.

some one was praying. What did they mean:
If any one knows let him hold up his hand. y
Up jumped little fellow, so eager to an

know!" he called out. ut means hurry up

There was an audible smile, and many of
the elders, we have no doubt, felt that the
definition would be very useful if it could be
generally accepted, and "Amen" used to
shorten long prayers.

Separate and Special Education OF the
Sexes.

president Bartlett of Dartmouth College]
l believe in giving our daughters the best
and highest education. and therefore believe
firmly in giving them separate and special
education. Co-education may answer during
the period of childhood and the earlier stages
of instruction; It may be necessarily and
safely continued to later period in the linz
tied circumstances and watchful guardianship
of country village; and under exceptional
conditions may proceed, perhaps in the high
range of study. But so soon and SO far as
the distinctive traits of manhood and wo-
manhood begin strongly to develop and as
sert themselves, the physical, intellectual and
moral necessities of the case seem to me to
demand difference of method and separate
ness of daily study, recitation and intercourse.

Mr. Beck's father was rich merchant in
Boston, who was agent for the French gov
ernment, and brought into close connection
thus with the French officers attached to the
squadron which for time was anchored in
Boston Harbor. His house was the resort of
the foreigners, who were looked upon with
unbounded curiosity by the Boston people,
brought for the first time into acquaintance
with nation uniformly traduced by the
British. 1t was incredible to them that per-
sons who were popularly supposed to subsist
mainly on frogs should be so plump and
well-havored but the original facts were
stoutly maintained and supported by the ru-
NOR that they had been discovered hunting
for their favorite food in the frog pond on
the Common. ...
/ "With this last notion in his head, Mr..
Nathaniel Tracy, who lived in beautiful
villa at Cambridge formerly Washington's
headquarters, and now Mr.. Longfellow's
houseI, made great feast for the admiral
and his officers. Everything was furnished
that could be had in the country to ornament
and give variety to the entertainment. My
father was one of the guests, and told me
often after that two large tureens of soup
were placed at the ends of the table. The
admiral sat on the right of Tracy, and M.
De PEtombe on the left. L'Etombe was
consul of France resident at Boston. Tracy
| filled plate of soup, which went to the ad-
miral and the next was handed to the con-

to the plate, he fished mp large frog, just as
green and perfect as if he had hoped from
the pond into the tureen. Not knowing at
first what it was, he seized it by its hind
legs, and, holding it up in view of the whole
company, discovered that it was a full
grown frog. AS soon as he had thoroughly
inspected it, and made himself sure of the
matter, he exclaimed, 'Ah mon Deu une
grenouillel = Then turning to the gentleman
next to him, gave him the frog. He received
it and passed it round the table. Thus the
poor crapdud made the tour from hand to
hand until it reached the admiral. The COM
pany, convulsed with laughter, examined the
soup plates as the servants brought them,
and in each was to be found frog The
uproar was universal. Meantime Tracy kept
| his ladle going, wondering what his outland-
ish guests meant by such extravagant merri-
ment Whats the matter? asked he and
raising his head, discovered the frogs dang
ling by leg in all directions why don't
they eat them p he exclaimed. IF they
knew the confounded trouble I had to catch

their own country, they would find that with
me, at least, it was no joking matter -
