The Putin Chap.

1t is related that when Andrew Jack
son vas military commander in Flori-
da, he had tried at drum-head court
martial, sentenced and hanged two
Englishmen who had tried to incite in
surrection among the Indians. Presi-
dent Monroe feared that Great Britain
would be indignant, and summoned
Jackson to Washington to be reprIman-
ded. Secretary Adams defended jack
son, and made a long argument, in
which he quoted international law as
expOunded by Grotius, Vattel, and
Puffendorf. Jackson listened in sullen
silence, but that evening when asked
at dinner party whether he was not
comforted by Mr.. Adams citation of
authorities, he exclaimed: '.What do |
care about those musty old chaps
Blast Grotius, blast Vattel and blast the
Puffen-chapi This is fight between
Jim Monroe and me, and proprose to

play-only an hour of intermission :;
but we crowded in as much sport as we
could, and the time passed rapidly with
one thing and another. Ii must have
been nearly time for the teacher to come
back to open afternoon school, and we
were every minute expecting TO hear
some one say, oh dear there he comes y
when shout or scream from the boys
made us spring up in terror and direct
every eye TO the object from which they
were running in hot haste, screaming,
a bear. bear! jump, girls, jump
and jump they did, every one, except
me; for trotting along after the boys
came a good sized bear ont of the woods.
Not in i great hurry TO be sure, for he
was too certain he would catch one of
us; but coming right along and no
mistake. The boys ran TO the school
house and scrambled in, shouting TO the
girls to jump and rum
at took only minute for all to reach
that safe shelter, except Ned and poor
little grandmother There L was para
lyzed with fear, TO scared too leap OF
the low part of the roof, which was the
farther way, too scared TO move at all,
and that dreadful bear coming nearer
and nearer.
'As Tor Ned, he saw my helplesness,
and he was just a. anxious To get int
the house as any of them; but the dear
fellow rushed Tor me with all his might,

him; the door was slammed in bruins
face, with loud bang, but not until he
had lifted one wicked paw and taken
the backbreadth out of my dress ~
''And what did you DO them | ask
ell Jeanie
''Oh, We huddlcd under the desks,
too frightened TO even whisper, and
that Dear went round and round the
house, scrambling toward the windows,
and growing till our hair stood on eud
1t the dreadful sound.
''Fortunately the windows were too
high for him to reach, and when he
found he couldn't have nice little boy
or girl for dinner he left US, and sulked
cE down to the springs"
And was tha. the last of it!"
NO, not quite; when We found he
had fairly gone, 4 few OF tho biggest
boys ran to meet the teacher, and among
them they called ont some men with
dogs and guns who hunted through the
woods, and the next day the bear was
shot On rhe mountain"
"That was good, - sail the old child,
who was listening TO the story. Any
thing more about Ned:"
"Oh, yes" said grandmother Jeanie.
''Stout, short, middle-aged man, a little
bald. good As gold. married and blessed
with two pretty children so they tell
me. We moved from the Laurel hill
few months after, and I've never seen
him since"
"O-h-h," said the old child. ''But

Stoves.

Next TO the fire place an open stove,
like the old fashioned Franklin CRATES
or stoves, are pleasant. In these can be
burned wood or coal, but have the for
mer if possible. Again we say what
ever means you employ for heat either
furnace, steam coal or wood stoves try
and have an open fire in the family or
sitting room, One movement with reg
ard to closed stoves is being made in the
right direction of which a moment,
thought will assure one. 1t has been
thought proper for some years to send a
stove As high up in the air a possible,
put story upon story and then finish by
letting the pipe drag its black length
through a chamber abOve-tO warm the
chamber? No, such heat ever was sd
tisfactOry, but to let the accumulated
breath of the whole day descend TO the
sleeping apartment to be inhaled all
night by its occupant. When you buy
stoves buy the low ones that are now
made; the nearer the floor the better,
and if you want TO warm a bed room get
a little box stove, and one armful of
wood will make the room whOlesOmly
comfortable, instead of that clammv
unhealthful chill that attends amy heat
derived from room or stove below.

A Plucky Horse.

After the 7.45 Long Island Railroad
express train from Hampstead passed
Garden City recently, the engineer,
John Townsend, espied gaunt, black
horse grazing by the fence. AS the
train neared the horse he bounded out
on the track with snort of defiance,
and started on fast trot ahead of the
locomotive. He was not swift-footed
enough to keep ahead, however, and as
the train crept close 10 his flying heels,
Engineer Townsend showed down the
brakes and set the whistle TO Shrek
ing. At this the horse redJubled his
speed, and the train started ahead, and
was quickly at his heels again. For
over mile the race was kept up in this
way. Every time the train overlook
the horse it would be Stacked up, and a
wild whistle would make the horse re-
new his efforts. Still he determinedly
kept on the track. In one place there
was small culvert crossing the road
bed, and the horse got one of his feet
All tiiis anu went uON II IletlS over mean.
His nose struck the track. and he made
a somersault on his back, and then
rolled on his side. The engineer then
stopped the train and went with some
of the passengers to see whether the
horse was dead, but before they could
reach him he was on his feet and away
down the track again at a tremendous
pace, still snorting defiance at his pur-
suers. At the end of the next half
mile he stumbled and fell a second
time, but pluckily picked himself up
and ran on. A little further on, as the
engine was close to him, he dropped on
his knees again, but was instantly erect
and off once more. After he had ran
nearly three miles, he came to a road
diagonally crossing the railroad, and
wheeled into it just as the train was
again rushing and bowling close be-
hind him. The horse kicked up his
heels as he dashed snorting down the
road and disappeared. The train lost
about seven minutes on its schedule
time by the race, but the passengers
quietly enjoyed it.

TIE ROOTS OF THE ROSES.

The leaves are fading and falling,
The winds are rough and wild.
The birds have ceased their calling
But let me tell you. my child
Though day by day as it closes,
Doth darker and colder grow,
The roots of the bright red roses
VIII keep alive in the snow.
And when the winter is over,
The boughs will get new leaves.
The birds come back to the clover.
The swallow back to the caves;
The robin will wear on his bosom
The vest that is bright and new.
and the liveliest wayside blossom
WI shine with sun and dew.
50. when some dear joy loses
II beauteous summer glow,
Think how the roots of the roses
Are kept alive in the snow.

Measuring Grain.

By the United States standard 2,l50
cubic inches MAKE bushel. Now, as a
cubic foot contains J, l,72S cubic inches, a
bushel is to cubic foot as 2, loo is 70
lbs; or, for practicable purposes. as 4
to 5. Therefore, to convert cubic feet
to bushels, it is necessary to multiply
by four-flfths. Example.-How much
grain will a bin hold which is 10 feet
long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet deep? So
lution.-10 multiplied by 4, equals 160
cubic feet; 160 multiplied by four fifths
equal 12S, the number of bushels.

The Arrested Padrones.
New York Post, November 49,

New York Post, November 49,.
On the arrival of the steamer City
Of Montreal from Liverpool yesterday
she was boarded by Messrs. Chiardi
jenkins, special agents Of the society
for the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren, who, by virtue of a bench war
rant, arrested Luigi Dibia, aged thirty
five years, of No. 45 Thompson street;
and Rafacli De Grazia, aged forty-two
years, of Chicago, who are accused of
importing italian children for the pur-
pose of reducing them to involuntary
servitude. The society has long been
endeavoring to suppress the traffic car
ried on by Italian p~adrones, and De
Grazia and Dibia it is alleged, have
been for years engaged in this bust
ness, one of them having brought over
as many as twenty boys in one ship on
speculation.
Yesterday they had six boys, two
adults and four sixteen, fifteen, eleven
and twelve years old respectively.
They had some boxes and bundles
containing musical instruments and
appliances, and the elder boys pretend.
ed to have the younger in charge or to
be related to them. The two younger
children we're conveyed to the First
precinct station house and the grown
boys we're detained at Castle Garden,
The information which led to the ar
rest Of the padrones was received -four
or five weeks ago from the Italian Con-
sui, who a%scertained that the boys had
been traded out by their parents in
Southern Italy.

The Theater.

Contrary almost to expectation there
was a fairly half filed house last night,
wet and stormy as it was, to witness the
inimitable performance of Mulberry
Sellers" by Mr.. John 7. Raymond and
his excellent company. Public anticipa-
ton was more than realized. SELLERS" is
a character that rather grows upon us.
He is only a slight exaggeration of some
body that we have all seen, and we never
grow tired Of his good nature, his sanguine
temperament and ever hopeful disposition.
Visionary, whole souled and generous to a
fault with the money he is about to make
BY the million, and always confident that
the next venture, whether in town lots,
steamboats,, hogs, mules, turnips or gov
eminent subsidies will crown his life with
success, he keeps his audience in sympa-
pathy, or in a 0 Of laughter, from first
TO last. The other parts are well played,
and the whole piece runs naturally and
smoothly. The orchestra executed a mum.
Der Of good selections, and the audience
was 50 well pleased that they forgot al
about the rain storm. Tonight thert

splendid burlesque on the lif%e-insuranc'

play. We viii see Mr.. Raymond to-nigh

The Graphical
Yellow fever cannot originate in the
Gulf States uuder any condition
whatever; it Is a creature Of the
tropics, and the original germ is in
variably imported, favorable local
sanitary conditions only depriving it
of a portion of its terrors.
State or municipal guarantees
against foreign ports are inadequate
and unsafe, giving us e%ver-recurring
epidemics, with their multitudinous
CHASTITY and terrible attendants. With
the spread Of population and growth
of railroads, non-intercourse between
our gulfports and interior points, at
any season of the year, becomes i'm
practicable, and it therefore becomes
necessary to have the strong arm Of
the Federal government between us
and the source Of danger. We have a
wise and judicious system Of quaran-
tine laws administered from Washing
ton. In this way only can we be safe
from the clutches of this deadly pes
thence, which has brought widespread
desolation and loss to our shores Sc
often, and which may yet, in one sum
mer, spread its ravages over a dozeT
States.
Galveston has, fortunately, escaped
but our immunity is due to vigilant
care against infection. While tn,
sanitary condition of this city is good
as compared with former years, it il
far from being perfect, and had
case Of yellow fever been introduced
here at any time this summer, i
would in all probability have been fol
lowed by an epidemic.
