REPLY GIVEN TO A COMPLAINING DEL
EGATIoN FROM THE WEST.
"Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you
had put it in the hands of BIOndin to
carry across the Niagara falls on tight
rope, would you shake the rope while
he was passing over, or keep shouting
to him, 'Blondin, stoOp a little more !;
go little fasterP No, am sure you
would not. You would hold your
breath as well as your tongue, and keep
your hands off until he was safely over.
Now, the government is in the same
situation, and is carrying across a stormy
ocean an immense weight; untold
treasures are in its hands; it is doing
the best it can don't badger it; keep
silence, and it will get you safely over"

Custom House Red Tape at Venice.

From BOtzen | sent a trunk to Venice
by freight-train, and | went to the sta
ton to get it. | was met by porter
who had served in the Austrian, army,
and who spoke German. He kindly
took my case in hand. Armed with
my receipt, | was conducted to freight
clerks office. He looked through many
pigeOn-hOles, and shrugged his Shout
ders--my trunk had not arrived. ex-
postulated. He looked again, and again
shrugged. Fourteen days should have
suf1iced, but he had as yet received no
notice of the arrival. My porter took
me to the custom house; there stood
the trunk, covered with a weeks dust.
Back to the freight clerk he looked
again. No, the freight letter had not
arrived. l did not want the letter,
wanted the trunk. He shrugged his
shoulders; we must wait until the chef
should come. At last the chef came.
He remembered having seen the letter,
and he looked through the pigeon-holes.
He must be mistaken; it could not
have come. No matter about the letter,
my receipt was duplicate, and | want
ed the trunk. The chef shrugged his
shoulders. Then he went off to rum
mage through a desk at another corner
of the room and at last he found the
unlucky letter. Then he must take the
letter to the custom house. Official
number one UiSed it, and sanded it, and
turned me over to official number two.
This one looked at the trunk, wrote
something on the paper, blotted it with
pinch of dust from the floor, and sent
us to official number three, who did a
long sum on it in tr1plicate, opened a
little drawer, took out some sand with
an iron spoon, and sprinkled it again.
Then number four wrote an illegible
| signature on each of the three sections,
sprinkled on some sand from a box,
poured most of the sand OH to his desk
and sent us to number five, who veri-
| fed the computation, wrote his name
three times, sanded, and dispatched us
to number one. The circumlOcution
was complete. Number one wrote
something more, sanded the newspaper
he had been reading, and set us free.
Now we would get the trunk and be
off. By no means, we must trudge
back to the station, wait for the clerk
to come back from somewhere, pay him
some money, give him the letter and
get his permit, duly signed and sanded,
and then go to the custom house and
carry away the property.

PURE AIR IN ScHooLs.-At the Edu-

PURE AIR IN SCHooLs.-At the Edu-
cational Convention in Newark, N. j.,
lately, DR.. Griscom, of New York,
urged upon school committeeman and
teachers the Importance of pure air for
scholars. He remarked that it would
astonish some, when he said that res
piration was the last act of digestion.
This act oxydizes and decarbonizes the
blood. The want of fresh and pure air
is among the prime causes of MOI tality
1t is a fact that half the race die before
the age of twenty-one. The school room
and dOrmitOry are changed into abodes
of death. Fresh air is deliberately shut
out, and foul air-the fell minister of
death-kept in. When will due atten-
ton be paid to the subject of ventila-
ton in constructing school rooms, pub
lie halls and dwelling houses?

II DR.. C. B. Smith, whose tragic
death by lightning occurred recently in
CRANKY, left this important testimony
on the cider question: Two or three
days before his death, in speaking of a
portion of his medical practice, he said,
with emphasis, "The evils of cider
drinking in CRANKY, South Hadley, and
Ludlow are at least t,Uice as great as
those of achiSkV drinking. 1t sets the
appetite going and keeps it going" He
then referred to special case, where a
man had just come near having delirium

cider. If it be so in three towns, it is so
undoubtedly in many more.

The SICK ROoM.-It is extraordina-
ry how many persons, unused to the
SICK room, mistake certain noises for
quiet. When such people have to walk
across a room, they do so with bal
anclng sort of movement that makes
every plank creak uneasily. Their very
dress rustles in way that would make
the fortune of a rattlesnake. If any
thing has to be said, it is spoken in a
loud, whirring whisper, that nearly
conceals the words, but makes the most
irritating of noises. Now, the silence

nature of the soil, it is very desirable
that cows should be pastured upon
high, well-drained land rather than
upon low, swampy soil, for two rea-
sons: In the first place, the malaria of
low, undrained land will more or less
affect the health of cows feeding upon
it, and consequently deteriorate the
quantity and quality of milk from them (;
in the second place, upon such land
weeds and the wild grasses will newt
ably run out the clover and timothy,
while in order to secure the best results
from the latter, the pastures must be
kept clean.
