An Ideal School for Girls.
London Truth.

| have long had as an idea the crea-
ton of a girls school which shall be
organized on exactly the same plan as
public schools for boys-Eton, for in
stance. The girls should reside by
twenties in The houses of married mas
ters, whose wives would act as danes"
and there s!iulili in each house be a
resident governess to discharge the
functions of monitors. The girls should
each have their own private room,
where they might take breakfast and
tea singly or in messes of two or three,
as they might prefer, and they should
dine and sup at their tutors and danes
tables. The classes should be held In
the school rooms of the college under
the direction of male or female profess
ors: and the girls should attend services
altogether IN their college chapel. As
for recreation, such college as pro-
pose would become a little township,
having its walks and parks where the
pupils would have liberty to roam and
play as they pleased, under certain re-
strictions as to hours of lookup. If in
a college of this kind music and draw
ing were treated as extras, and the gen
eral education were confined to the
three Rs, modern languages. history,
geography and sewing, am convinced
the school would turn out very credita-
BILE pupils indeed, and, what is equally
to the purpose. would render the school
life of the girls happy, which it seldom
is at present. l hope to see this idea
carried out some day BY group OF

bark in an enterprise which would ulti-

an entry into the castle of Herkull,
penetrated as far as the bedrooms, stole
several clocks, watches and reyolyers,
and left without being noticed, having
proiifed by the slumber of the occu
pants to commit the burglary. He
escaped the search that was instituted
by hiding in a cornfieid. Jurri Rum
mo moves rapidly from one place to
another, and contrives, by frequent
change of vehicles and horses, to throw
his pursuers off the scent, leaving the
animals which have brought him to the
scene of robbery near the spot, and
riding off on others, which he "bor-
rows" for the purpose from their own
ers. As a necessary result, his "des-
cription" has TO be constantly changed,
the steeds of yesterday not being those
of tomorrow. The population are
afraid to denounce him, and regard
the desperate in the light of a hero.
He has been daring enough to travel
post. On one occasion the intendent of
the Chateau of Arrohof, near Pernau,
succeeded in capturing and handing
him over to the authorities. Rummo,
however, got free, and only his convey
ance was found with the stolen articles.
The peasants OF the village of Rechtel
made regular hunt after the robber,
but merely managed, as in the case al
ready cited, to seize the cart and its
contents. At this very place, indeed,
he took refuge in public beershop.
The country people who were present
suspected that he formed one of their
number, and, just as the fact was pro-
claimed, the audaCious marauder sud
denly got up from a corner, leaving his
boots behind him. A few steps from
the door he met 6 farm laborer, and
told the latter h. had left his shoes in
return for the property taken from the
lord of the manor Quite lately Rum
mo went as far as Oberpahlen, and ar
rived there in an appropriated carriage
and pair. On the point of being taken
into custody, the Protean bandit van
ished afresh in seemingly miraculous
manner. In every country women
have sneaking kindness for this Kind
the case of Jurri Rummo. 1t is the
weaker sex who habitually assist him
in his exploits and miraculous escapes.
Some almost chivalrous traits are re-
ported of him. An instance in point:
Rummo enters widows hut and de-
mands dinner. Hegoes into the yard
and kills a goose with his own hand, has
it cooked, and leaves a bank note for 25
rubles in the hands of the astonished
woman. He is said to keep his cores
pondence and accounts by double entry,
like any other business man.

DiogOnes' Tub a Wine-Jar.

Another harmless and familiar de-
fusion has been ruthlessly swept away
by the restless broom of scientific in
vestigation. The tub of Diogenes, so
graphically depicted by Busch in his
inimitable "Bilderbogen," has been rel
egated to the dismal limbo of dis
credited myths. Diogenes, SO we are
sternly informed by German archeolo-
gsts, never lived in tub at all. The
illustrious stole resided in a jar-a sort
ofover-grown earthenware pitcher with
out a handle. Careless translators. who
have recklessly rendered the Greek
word for ''winejar" by the compare
lively modern substantive stub" are re-
sponsible for the error in which human
ity has been unwittingly plunged for
ever so many hundreds ofy years. Pliny
assures his readers, ancient and modern,
that tubs are of Gallo origin. Diogenes
can have known nothing about them.
The Greeks kept their wine in jars,
frequently bottomless, and thrust into
the soil of their cellar floors, so that the
liquor poured into them might not
dribble through inequalities in the
lower rim of the amphora. 1t was in
one of these bottomless pitchers that
Diogenes took up his abode. Placed
upon its side, he slept in it; set upright,
he walked about in it. There is mon
umental evidence extant to the fact
that he chose for bis dwelling cracked
and Clipped jar, unfit for liquor-con-
tanning purposes, being prompted to
this selection by his hatred OF anything
like luxury or wastefulness. In certain
districts of Brazil the aborigines for
merly buried their dead in jars exactly
similar to Diogenes' earthenware free
hold; and these quaint collins are still
not unfrequently found, containing
mlmmified bodies of priests and war
riors, with their ornaments and arms,
under the giant trees on the banks of
the Paralba, where abide the Coreades,
civilized Indian tribe.

Randolph on Clay.

For bitter invective and whitening
sarcasm, the language used by John
Randolph toward Henry Clay, which
led to the duel between these two dis
tinguished gentlemen, is probably with
out a parallel. There was no choice by
the people for the president IN 1874.
and John Quincy Adams was elected
by the house of representatives over
Andrew jackson. Henry Clay had
been a candidate, and had received
some electoral votes, which defeated
the choice by the electoral college. In
the house, the Clay votes were cast for
Adams, thus securing his election.
After the Inauguration of Adams,
March 4. 1875, he appointed Clay to the
office of secretary of slate, the head
place 10 his cabinet, Mr.. Randolph,
between whom and Mr.. Clay there had
long been a bitter feud, took an early
opportunity in his place IN the house

he so padded that he was on one side 4

which would have gone through Ran

Mr.. Randolph reserving his fire, and
having his victim at his mercy, with
magnanimity equalled only by his

that it came in contact with the hand of
well-dressed and pretty young lady.

around at her, and was nonplussed at
seeing two dainty little hands, encased
in beautifully fitting gloves, which were
crossed on her lap. He Jaw through
the trick at once. This female was a

her lap were false. The gentleman
kept quiet until the vehicle had gotten
well into town, when he told the female
that she had better get out with him.
She readily assented, the wagon was
stopped, and the two alighted. Upon

And then remember my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle
pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or set
of books, digging bitches or editing a
newspaper, ringing an auction-bell or
writing funny things, you must work.
If you will look around you, you will
see that the men who are the most able
to work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with overwork, son. It is be-
yond your power to do that. Men can
not work so hard as on the sunny side
of thirty. They die sometimes, but its
because they quit work at 6 P. NJ, and
cont get home until 2 A. NJ It's the
intervals that kill, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals;
it lends solidity to your slumber; 1t
gives you a perfect and grateful ap-
probation of holiday. There are
young men who do not work, my son
young men who make a living by
sucking the end of cane; whose en-
tire mental development is insufficient
