Gone to Grass.

Peter Harrison left his home at Erie
Pa, to become a bank cashier in Detroit
Some one in Erie told him that thirteen
cashiers were wanted here at once, and
he came on as fast as conductors on
freight trains would permit him. Dis
appointment is the lot of man, or of lots
of men, and Peter reached Detroit to find
all the best positions taken. One bank
offered to permit him to cashier in ten
bushels of coke, but Mr. Harrison didn't
come to this town to drudge. He was
trying to obtain few hours sleep on
the grass in the public park previous to
Il second struggle with the mad world,
when an officer suggested the propriety
of walk to the station.

That's mean, judge. What would
George Washington have amounted to if
he had been sent up just as he was trying
to get a start in life?"
"This court has nothing to do with
George Washington, sir If he had been
brought before this bar with his shirt

mine and his breath smelling of whisky,
he would have been sent up for sixty

Words of Wisdom.

fun is good, truth is better, and love
is best of all.
He shall be immortal who liveth till
he be stoned by one without fault.
No man ever regretted that he was
virtuous and honest in his youth, and
kept aloof from idle companions.
Stick to one thing until it is done, and
done well. The man who chases two
hares not only loses one of them, but is
pretty .sure to lose the other also.
You ought not to ask odds of any one
Like a blooded horse, all you have Il
right to demand is to be put even on the
whiffletrees. After that show your
mettle.
The fortunate man is he who, born
poor or nobody, works gradually up to
wealth and consideration, and having
got them, dies before he finds they We're
not worth so much trouble.
The damps of autumn sink into the
leaves and prepare them for the necessity
of their fall; and thus insensibly are we,
as years close round us, detached from
our tenacity of life by the gentle pres
sure of recorded sorrow.
No man possesses real strength OF
mind if he cannot, after having heard all
that others have to say, resolve, and
firmly resolve what to do, and carry his
resolution into effect. Take counsel OF
others; profit by their experience and
wisdom; but above all take counsel with
yourself; make up your mind what to
do in the world, and-do it.
A habit of scolding indicates a want OF
self discipline. The machinery has got

A Curious COnceit.

Mr.. Jonathan Rees, of Phenixville,
Pa, has evolved plan by which nature
is to be made subservient to n want
which has hitherto been supplied by a
door plate. He proposes literally to find
" tongues in trees and not merely make
them tell tale that might please the
fancy, but to stand upright before the
cottage or mansion and inform the tramp
and the traveller the name of the man
who lives within. "The Talking Oak"
of the poet is to become a reality. Mr..
Rees has discovered that the initial letter
of our most valuable trees comprise
nearly all the letters of the alphabet,
and can placed so as to be read as easily
as the alphabet by those who make
themselves acquainted with the letters
the trees are intended to represent,
Farmers could have their names planted
in groves along the roads bordering on
their property, with the date of planting;
and it would be both interesting and in
structive to be able to tell by these who
occupies the premises by reading the
planters name in his trees.
Mr.. Rees makes up the list of useful
and ornamental trees as follows:

Mr.. Mccormick, COmmissioner-Gsn-
eral from the United States to the Paris
Exposition, is engaged in dispatching
the diplomas and medals recently re-
ceived from Paris to the fortunate eXhib-
itors. The latter are of gold, those of
silver and bronze not having yet arrived,
They are about two inches broad, weigh
three ounces, and are worth $50. On the
diverse side is the medallion of n female,
the head of the republic of France, in
scribed "Republique Franchise" On
the reverse are the figure of fame, with
the legend, Exposition Universelle In
ternational de 1872 A youth beside
the figure holds a tablet, upon which is
engraved the name of the exhibitor.
There are l4O of these, and with each
goes q diploma. The latter are hello
types eighteen by twenty inches. The
upper sections contains an allegOry of
Peace and Fame clasping the hand of an
artisan at the foot of throne. The lower
portion is inscribed, Exposition Uni
Verselle de 1878. lie Jury lnternationale
des Recompenses de cerne une Medille
Dor" with the name ofeXhibitor, group,
etc. There are 225 silver medals, 200
bronze and about 200 certificates ofmerit,
which is the lowest prize given. Mr.. X.
R. Hit, secretary Of the American Lega-
ton mt Paris, says that the principal
officers of the French government are
very enthusiastic over the character and
conduct of the American department OF
the Exposition.

During the seige of Paris there was
nobody more popular, and afterward
there was nobody more unpopular than
Sergeant Hoff. He with his own hand
slew twenty-seven Germans during the
first six weeks of the seige. His gallantry
was rewarded by praise lavished in his
regimental order ofthe day and in gen.
eral order of day, and the Legion of
Honor was bestowed on him. The Min
lister of War told him it was very impor-
tant that dispatch should reach Mar
shall Bazaine and offered him $4,000 to
undertake the mission. 1t was perilous.
He staked his head on success. 1t was
easier for him than for many French
men-he was an Alsacian ard spoke Ger
man we'll He said to the Minister OF
War: Il accept the mission, but | re-
fuse the money" Howl after howl of in
dignation went up when it was found
Sergeant HOtf had disappeared. 1t was
said that he had always been Prussian
spy and was now a traitor The govern
ment gave the keynote to these howls
to save Hoff's life if he were discovered
as he passed through the enemy's lines
lie safely reached Bazaine. The war
over he was mrde keeper of Vendome
Column. The keeper of the Triumphal
Arch died the other day, and Sergeant
Holf, to the delight ofthe Parisians, has
been appointed to the vacant place.
A New York paper has an article in
regard to the proposed plan of General
Fremont, Governor of Arizona, to extend
the Gulf of California by tapping the
northern end and letting it run into and
fill up the great Colorado Desert. 1t
seems that the sediment carried down
for ages by the great river Colorado ut
last collected at what was then its mouth,
in sufficient quantity to dam off the
northern arm of the Gulf of California
! from any connection with the ocean.
The water in this unfed reservoir then
| slowly evapUrated, leaving n dry basin
1870 miles by thirty, and this, together
with the surrounding slopes, soon be-
came "bladeless desolation," while
the river turning southwark found en-
trance to the gulf many miles below.
Between this arid waste and the present
head of the gulf lies some thirty miles o
soft earth, Just lifted above sea-leyel,
and through this Governor Fremont pro-
poses to cut his canal. 1t is a highway
| of commerce that IS now contemplated,
but originally the main object aimed at
| by pouring the desert full of water was
! to restore the natural harmOnies which
had been disturbed by the drying up OF
the sea. Human remains prove that the
desert was lately fertile, and an old
Spanish map is mentioned which places
the boundaries of the gulf far beyond
their present positions.

Occasionally the newspapers contain
accounts of the exhumation of bodies
that give what is called unmistakable
evidence of having been buried alive.
Speaking of this matter, a city paper op-
poses the belief which prevails in the
minds of many that persons are fire.
quently buried while the spark of life has
not yet left the body. 1t says that
"while such things have happened,
add may still happen, they are of the
rarest occurrence. Winslow, the cele-
brated anatomist, is said to have had
two narrow escapes from burial alive,
and to have published in consequence,
treatise on the signs of death. Bou-
chut, Michel Levy and other physicians
have also expressed their views on the
subject; but all testimony procurable
establishes the fact that burial alive
hardly ever takes place in these times.
In corroboration of this, many German
cities have in their cemeteries mortuary
houses, in which the dead are kept some
days before final interment, the bell-pull
being so arranged that the slightest mo-
ton of the body would sound an alarm.
So far these precautions have been super
fluous In more than forty years not one
supposed corpse has proved to be any
thing else"

TIMELY TOPICS.

The grave can have no terrors for an
eccentric individual out in Illinois. He
SCOTS at the comforts of patent spring
mattress, with the accompanying pill
lows, holsters, sheets and snowy cover
lids, and even deems the Indian luxury
of a blanket and fire effeminate and
unworthy of man. In his back yard
there is a shallow trench, in which he
lays himself each night at bedtime, and
a faithful man servant shovels earth over
him till nothing but his head is left un-
covered. He has no fear of fire or bur-
glars, but sleeps serene and happy in his
couch of earth. If he should wake up
and find himself dead some morning, he
would be both dead and buried. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that he is not a
married man.
