envy in the northern part of Cairo,
Illinois, was struck by lightning dur
ing a thunder storm about o'clock in
the morning Of March 26, set on fire,
and entirely consumed, despite the eff
forts made to save it. It was q large
four-story frame structure, and occu-
pied by the sisters and pupils Of the
school, who were asleep at the time of
the stroke. In very little time, how
ever, every sleeping one was gotten
out, and no person was hurt. Much Of
the furniture was saved, although III a
damaged condition. The chapel, near
the main building, was saved. There
was but little rain, or the fire might
have been extinguished. The loss is
estimated at about $4,000; insured for
$1,000. The school, which was in sue
c9ssful operation, will, of course, lie
suspended for a time.

Social Ceremonies.

At bottom, the social forms OF all
civilized nations are based on the grand
principle of mutual good will, and OF
doing to others as we would that others
should do to us. There must be reel.
procity, both of forbearance and OF act
i've kindness. The French have a
proverb, "A pleasure conferred de
serves another in return and in popu-
lar language. pleasure has wider sense
than the mere dictionary meaning,
stretching so far as even to include u
money present. When once the mutu-
ality basis of politeness is admitted and
adopted, the rest will ever be question
of degree, to be regulated by the slid
ing scale of time and opportunity
Hence, cases, anecdotes, and illustra-
tons, are better guides to the true
spirit of all ceremonial, than any code
of abstract rules.
Common sense and ready tact can
alone prevent people from committing
blunders and improprieties. If from
the sublime to the ridiculous there is
only one step, who does not feel that
there is only half step from civility
to affectation, from kindness to famll-
iarity, from pleasantly to sarcasm, from
dignity to stiffness, from unreserved to
rough behaviour, from cheerful fun to
boisterousness? Whoever keeps on
the right side of the boundary, and, by
long usage or by natural instinct, not
only does what he ought at the right
time and place. but absolutely and
completely refrains from everything
that would compromise him, may fairly
claim the title of a well-bred person.
In manners, as in diplomacy, excess
of zeal is great mistake; in none Of
it's shapes should politeness ever be
overdone. Set compliments are dan
gerous things to handle. They may be
offered in all sincerity, and yet have a
very equivocal sound. An old adage
says, "All men are equal before Polite
ness" which is certainly a great mis-
take. On the contrary, ceremonial po-
likeness recognizes and regulates the
inequality of men and women. 1t gives
unto Caesar the things that are Caesars,
and to the underling the things that are
the underling's. 1t is as strict as
Portia, in the matter of the pound of
flesh; it forbids the taking of hairs
breadth more ore less than the pound
written in the bond and due to the
claimant. 1t metes out its awards with
an iron rule. This is your right and
that is yours; here is his place, and
there is theirs. No cavil. dispute or dis
cussion is possible; still less pleading
for indulgence and favor.

time when every available man, black
and white, was needed at the front"
Gen. Lee Endorsed it on the 9th, and
it was returned to Adjutant Newman
too late to be made or.anyiservice. On the
81 of April, a week later, the Adjutant
was captured at Fort Gregg. near
Petersburg, having this document and
other important official papers in his
possession. OF the 265 gallant Con-
federates who manned that ill-starred
fort on the morning of that day but
thirty-four survivors came out of the
bloody contest for its defense.
Major Newman says he saved his
official papers by hiding them in the
lining of his hat, where they safely lay
hid from detection during his three
months captivity on Johnson's Island,
in Lake Erie, to which point the pris-
oners were taken. This document was
drawn up very soon after the Confede-
rate Congress had passed an act auth
orizing the utilizing of negroes for
military purposes" Step by step it

Lee. at each step promptly receiving

Lee, however, not only ''commends
the spirit displayed by the regiment"
in setting the ball in motion, but sug-
gests, officially, how the colored troops
should be organized and assigned to
duty. Gen. G. NJ. Wilcox and Gen.
Harry Heth had approved the docu-
ment before Gen. Lees Endorsement
was made, yet, report says, there would
have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.
Other regiments beside this one fav-
ored the utilizing of negroes for mill
tary purposes" but to Adjutant New
man and the Forty-ninth Georgia regi
ment was due the credit of promptly
putting into operation the action of the
Confed crate Congress on this subject,
although too late to reach final con-
summation before the surrender, which
occurred within fortnight after the
document was approved by Gen. Lee.

SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
lonely village. where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground WAS
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind it there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life--the wild rush
of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall Of rocks or earth threatening to
crush or overwhelm him. But it is war
and not peace that makes heroes, and
so all these dangers of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be a genuine
son of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for it
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some peighboring town
and learned the secret Of the confec-
toners art, for the Swiss are skillful in
the preparation of sweets and pastry,
and can make delicate cup Of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks. nourished
only by the coarest fare. His ambition
is to go wherever the channels can make
its way, and in so doing he forms su-
preme contempt for the greatest dan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or rugged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty Of the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.

Educating Young Horses.

Rev. w. II. II. Murray, gives, in the
Golden Rule, the following directions
for educating, or as it used to be called,
breaking in young horses
If you have colt to teach. and have
the habit of speaking sharply and loud
ly correct yourself of. it at once. Colts are
timid. HI gh-spirited things, if they are
worth anything; and he who manages
them should be of quiet habits, and
have low, pleasant-toned voice. The
trainer that yells, stands in the same
category as the driver in the public
race who screams and whoops like
Comanche Indian when coming down
the home. stretch; the one should be
banished from the track, and the other
turned out of the gentleman's stables.
Our method of educating n colt to the
harness and wagon is to educate him
singly, by himself; and this education
should begin very early. When the
colt is twelve or fourteen months old
begin TO put the harness on him. In few
weeks he is accustomed to it and ready
for the shafts. But in doing this, do
not be in ahurry. Give the youngsters
time to get thoroughly acquainted with
every strap and buckle, as it We're. Let
him see everything and smell every
thing. The senses of sight, smell and
touch are the great avenues of knowl-
edge to the horse, especially the last
two. The ear and eye give the alarm.
These two organs stand. as it were, on
picket for the animals safety. But if
your horse is frightened at anything,
let him smell and touch it. and he will
fear no longer. If your colt is afraid
of the harness as it comes rustling out
of the harness room, let him touch it
with his nose, and smell of it few
times and he will soon understand that
it will not hurt him. If he is inclined
to kick or Jump, if the preaching band
or any strap hits his hams or legs, by
gently rubbing them against the sensi
tive places he will soon become indif-
fercnt to them. BY the time the colt
is two years of age, or even less, he
should be educated to go between
shafts, either forward or backward, and
be thoroughly familiar with the harness
and vehicle, and ordinary road service.
SANITARY VALUE OF TREEs.-The
value of trees, in a sanitary point of
view, in large and overcrowded cities,
can scarcely be over-estimated. Apart
from the sense of relief and GOODNESS
which they impart, their inflence as
purifiers of the atmosphere is almost
incredible. 1t has been calculated that
a good.sized elm, plane or line tree
will produce 100000 leaves, having n
united area OF 200, 900 square feet. Com
petent authority shows that not only do
the leaves absorb deleterious gases, but
they exhale oxygen. They must. there
fore, be- of immense benefit in over
crowded and unhealthy districts. When
to this it is added that trees modify
temperature, promoting GOODNESS in
summer and warmth in winter, also.
that they purify the soil be ow as well
very powerful sanitary argument for
tree planting.-Londo. Medical E.edm-
