1mperfectly Directed Letters

In New York, Boston, Baltimore and
other large cities, it has been the prac-
tice for years to try to forward imper-
fectly directed letters on their way to
those for whom they are intended, and
thus to prevent them from being buried
for weeks or months-possibly for years
in the dead-letter Office. We say
years advisedly, for within a few weeks
past letter was returned to this Office
from the 6ead-letter Office that was
mailed well On to two years ago. The
old practice was good one, and earned
a great deal Of credit for the post Office
department. All imperfect directions
are not the result Of carelessncss.
Many of them are defaced because the
writer's do not know how to do better.
There never was a time and never will
be, until human nature shall become
perfect, or until official information pen
etrates every humble house in every vii
LACE, when all letters were or will be di-
rected precisely as they ought to be.
Every postal department has recognized
this in6rmity among letter writers, and
has employed skillful and experienced
persons to exc out the shortcomings in
the addresses Of letters, so sas to get
them to their destinations. AS well
suspend all this aud leave the bad spell
ers, poor penmen and penwomen, and
unforturates who pronounce according
to their understanding in foreign
tongues to their fate-close the doors of
the post offices against thcm--as to re-
fuse to forward letters to the absolute
destination OF which is perfectly well
known to the post office clerks, for the
sole reason that they are addressed to
the popular, political or geographical
names of the places they are intended
for, instead Of the oftentimes arbitrary
post Office names.

The Love of Flowers

Of the many touching tributes paid to
flowers. there is one associated with the
closing hours of Henry Heine, the poet,
which appears to be very beautiful. He
was dying in Paris. The doctor was pay
ing his usual visit, when Heine pressed
his hand and said: doctor. you are my
friend; ask favor Tell me the truth
the end is approaching, is it noti'
The doctor was silent.
"Ihank YOU said Heine calmly.
Have you any request to maker
asked the doctor, moved to tears
Eyes, replied the poet; my wife
sleeps-do not disturb her Take from
the table the fragrant flowers she brought
this morning; love flowers so dearly.
Thanks-place them upon my breast"
He paused as he inhaled their perfume
He closed his eyes, and he murmured:
"Fhwers, flowers, how beautiful is
Naturew These were his last words as
his life slowly ebbed away.

George Eliot's Domestic Life,

L have been reading minute account
of George Eliot, written from London
by the clever correspondent of Califor-
mia paper. The latter has been copied
into various journals, but put up by
others into paragraphs, handy for circu-
lation. This sweet-friendly account is
sometimes erroneous and often imagin-
alive. Marian Evans was not the
daughter of country curate," nor of q
clergyman or parson of any kind. Nor
was there any mysterious clerical bene
factor who took charge of her or her ed
ucation. He is pure myth, probably
evolved to explain how she came to
write "Scenes Of Clerical Life. "Adam
Bede" was not published until 81 years
ago, and it did not bring her the &C
quaintance of either Herbert Spencer or
Lewes
1t is fabulous that Lewes' legal wife
ever eloped with anybody once, much
less twice, as this story states, it is
equally mythical that tho union of G.
III. Lewes with George Eliot was de-
SAOSu ullcl a COilSuiUaoiO WIFI Ills
or her distinguished friends. There
was no knowledge about it beforehand;
it was decided ON between themselves
and took their friends by surprise. They
disappeared together, and came back
from the continent to reside under one
roof. There has never been any pre-
tense that their union is a spiritual one
or their cohabitation patonic; there is
probably as little ground for that report
as for another foolish one sometimes
seen in American newspapers, that
Lewes and Miss Evans We're, at some
time lawfully married. Whatever
these two people may have done they
never did anything to include themselves
among Artemus Wards atfinerties, nor
yet get down on their knees to beseech
pardon Of society by undergoing a mar
riage ceremony. They never wanted for
society such as they cared for; they had
to fence off society. They might have
dined out every day in the year with
cultivated and wealthy people and
danced in brilliant assemblies every
night. had they been so inclined
am happy in the belief that there is
no ground for the statement in the let
ter which has mingled these mistakes
with its otherwise valuable information
that George Eliot had aid aside her
pen. It is pretty certain that she is
finding in continued literary work the
chief solace Of her heavy sorrow. The
Sunday evenings at the priory, which
have in the past brought together so
many CT the finest thinkers in London,
will probably continue, and the potent
influence of this great-hoarted and large
Drained woman will still go forth to the
world through the brains of others as
well as through her own penn. d.

Is Slavery Abolished?

How lacerated were the tender sensi-
bilitits of iberty-loving New England,
when the sable-hued mothers in the
Southern States were separated from
their children by their inhuman masters.
What storms of fiery indignation burst
from the lips Of her statesmen against a
code that licensed such outrages
What denunciations from its pulpits up
on any religion that tolerated such
wrongs. What burning invectives were
hurled from its press upon a civilization
thai permitted such atrocities. How
melting was the pathos of its orators
over the inhumanity of this barbarous
system. What floods of sympathetic
tears it's people shed over the victims of
such heartless cruelty. And what glad
poems of triumph awoke the echoes of
New Englands hills and dales at the
downfall Of this iniquitous institution.
But is slavery really abolished To-day
q mother is fleeing from this land of the
free and refuge Of the oppressed to find
in some monarchial country of the old
world an asylum denied her in this land
Of her birth, where the babes she has
borne and nursed shall not be wrenched
from her protecting arms by her irfur-
late drunken master. But where is now
the hot indignation Of New England's
statesman? Where the remonstrances
of her pulpits-the invectives of her
press-the denunciations of her orotors
and the tears of her people2 All
are strangely silent and passive.
And why Because the "pant-
ing fugitive" now is only
white woman--a New England wife
and mother-and the laws by which her
babes can be torn from her fond EN-
brace were not exacted south of Mason
and Dixon's line, but are New England's
own time honored statutes, made sacred
by their age. And if any man weakly
yielding to his humane impulses shall
dare to give aid or assistance TO this
fleeing, fugitive mother and her infants,
he will do it ct his peril. The whole
vengeance of our most holy fugitive
wife laws viii be invoked upon his de
voted head Do people seek to justify
the barbarity Of their laws by reiterat-
ing the vile ISLANDERS against Mrs.
Spragus? Suppose them true, what
would lie thought Of proposition to
deprive every husband who was false to
his marital VOWS of the custody and
control of his lawful childrenl If such
We're done, the number of half orphaned
children would be fearful to contem-
plate But wife may be pure as the
Madonna-may be the embodiment. Of
all virtue and wisdom, but yet in the
nineteenth century many Of our States
give the mother no legal right to her
babes, but will permit any drunken,
vicious tyrannical brute Of husband to
rob her of her offspring.
While Mrs. Sprague with the prestige
of her fathers great name and the inhu-
entail friends she may command is forced
to expatriate herself in order to enjoy
the rights, hottest and dearest to woman's
nature, the society of her children, well
may we exclaim, women have no coun-
try.-Women's Journal.

Though the Esquimaux are generally
below the middle stature of man, their
heads are as large as those of more
favored races. According to Professor
Flower, the average capacity of an Esqui-
maux skull (male) is l.546 cubic cent?
metres the average of seventy four mod
ern Italian skulls This large size of the
brain seems not necessary to be connect
ed with actual development. Another
distinctive characteristic of the Esqui-
mau skull as pointed out by Professor
Flower, is its great length and narrow
ness, especially in the upper part. The
base is fairly broad, and the mastold pro
cesses well developed but instead Of
expanding upward to the parietal region,
it narrows, and, toward the median line
above, contracts so rapidly that the
upper part os the skull has the form Of
the roof OF house. The afiinities of the
Esquimaux race are declared to be more
with the inhabitants of Northeastern
Asia than with the American Indians ;
and probably they are derived from the
same stock as the japanese

The Road Agent.

Ny route, which was the only road
between the town of Ireton and Chester,
lay for three miles through an almost
unbroken wilderness. The track had
been badly cut to pieces by recent rains,
and my progress was much slower than
was either safe or pleasant. Sunset
found me still many miles from my des-
tination, and l began to reflect on the
probability of a nights lodging in the
woods in no very comfortable frame OF
mind
NV horse stumbled SO constantly in
the increasing darkness that Twas forced
at length to allow him to pick his way
at slow walk. l had arrived at par
ticularly rough part of the road, and
halted to make sure that no pitfall lay
in the obscurity beyond, when a form
sprang out of the bushes and stood
beside me- In the dull light 1 conld
perceive that it was a small, slightly
built man, clad in shabby garments,
with broad slouched hat concealing his
face and that he held pistol in IN
pleasant proximity to my head.
what do you wantf' ] asked, with
what composure could muster.
"Your money" was the answer. "Fling
it into the road and ride on"
The voice was singularly sweet for a
nan-a rutian at that-and there was
a tremor in it that belied his threaten
ing air.
"The man is coward" l said to my
self; then aloud, Suppose l refuse to
comply with your very reasonable re-
quest, what thens'
81 shall blow your brains out" WAS
the reply. Throw me your money, and
be quick about it"
! raised my hand from my side Us if
to comply with his demand; but instead
of doing so | suddenly lifted nv riding
whip and brought it down upon the tenn
pie OF my wsylayer. The blow was a
powerful one, and he rolled under my
horses feet without sound
Springing from my saddle to grapple
with him, found him PROSTATE and in
sensible, with the blood flowing copious-
" from an ugly wound in the forehead.
In the act of lifting his head upon my
arm, his hat fell off, and coil of lux
uriant brown hair fell over nv arm.
Much astonished at this, / bent over the
lifeless body and beheld pale beautiful
face, with small delicate features, whose
expression, even in inconsistencies,
was that OF mingled sadness and despair.
Ny assailant was woman, young and
bearing traces of refinement about her,
despite her male attire
After little search / discovered the
weapon with which she had threatened
me. 1t was an old pistol broken and
unloaded With an impulse that / did
not stop to question, l thrust it into my
pocket Then examined the wound
had inflicted. 1t was slight one, but
would leave life long scar upon her
temple.
