That Bronzed Seafaring Man.

Yesterday afternoon . man with .
bronzed face and the dress of q petty
officer on shipboard, carrying partly
concealed beneath the skirt of his
jacket q good-sized package, peered
into the Office of United States Com
missioner Shields and lodged back into
the hall. The Commissioner called
out, ''Do you want to see me? Come
in" The man thereupon entered the
Office and in q whisper asked Mr..
Shields if he would not like to buy q
silk dress. pattern or broche shawl
very cheap indeed. -.
"How can you afford to sell so low?'
asked the Commissioner.
swell, the fact is said the man in
low tone, h" don't mind telling YOU l
follow the sea, and / bring over q few
articles with me on every trip, just to
speculate on" '.',
ooh" said Commissioner Shields,
s.then you struggled them; is that it?'
The bronzed stranger winked. The
Commissioner said he thought Mr..
Drummond on the floor above might
like to buy q shawl, and to the floor
above the bronzed person went. Special
Agent Drummond, of the Treasury
Department, examined the mans stock,
which was of inferior quality yet calcu-
lated to deceive persons knowing little
of such fabrics, and when the brOnzed
person intimated that it was Struggled
Mr.. Drummond said:
my good man, TIM . revenue officer
and shall have to put you under AZ
rest"
The bronzed man turned yellowish
green, and said he had been lying.
"You'll have to show the bills for this
stuff" said Drummond. He produced
the bills, which were from cheap
e..st-side store, and as it is not an Of
Tense against the Gust pms laws to lie
abont domestic manufactures he was
let go.--N. Y. World,

Inherited Antiquities.

Cows hate dogs instinctively, from
their earliest calfhood upward. used
to doubt once upon time whether the
hatred was not of artificial origin and
wholly induced by the inveterate human
habit of egging on every dog to worry
every other animal that comes in its
way. But tried o mild experiment
one day by putting half-grown town
bred puppy into small enclosure with
some hitherto unworried calves, and
they allturned to make a common head
way against the intruder with the same
striking unanimity as the most ancient
and experienced COWS. Hence l am
inclined to suspect that the antipathy
does actually result from a vaguely in
herited instinct derived from the DAYS
when the ancestors of our kline was
wild urus, and the ancestor of our dogs
a wolf, on the wild forest-clad plains of
Central Europe. When cow puts up
its tail at sight of a dog entering its pad
dock at the present day it has probably
some dim instructive consciousness that
it stands in the presence of dangerous
hereditary foe; and as the wolves could
only seize with safety q single isolated
urus, so the COWS now usually make
common cause against the intruding
dog, turning their heads in one direc-
ton with very unwonted unanimity till
his tail finally disappears under the OPP
posite gate.
Such inherited antipathies seem COM
mon and natural enough. Every species
knows and breads the ordinary enemies
of its race. Mice scamper away from
the very smell of q cat. Young chick
ems run to the shelter of their mothers
wings when the shadow of a hawk
passes over their heads. Mr.. Darwin
put a small snake into a paper bag,
which he gave to the monkeys at the
Zoo; and one monkey after another
opened the bag, looked in upon the
deadly foe of the quadrumanous kind,
and promptly dropped the whole pack
age with every gesture of horror and
dismay. Even man himself though
his instincts have all weakened SO
greatly with the growth of his more
plastic intelligence, adapted to wider
and more mOdifiable set of external cir
umstances-seems oretain vague and
original terror of the serpentine FORM

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL,

American residents in London pro-
pose erecting a Protestant Episcopal
Church in that city at q cost of $75, 600.
The English Nonconformists expect
to gain one new privilege from the
Gladstone Government the right of
burial in the Church of England burial

The effect of the expulsion of the
Jesuits from France, says an exchange,
is likely to promote their influence, iu-
asmuch as it will 80 widely distribute

1T il said that not less than 1000
ministers, representing the various re-
ligious denominations of the country,

MIR. George l. Seney, President of
the Metropolitan Bank, Of New York,

Mr.. E. Payson Porter is recognized
as an authority on Sunday -school sta
tistics. He has figured up the Sunday
school census, and finds that there are
in the United States and Canada 81, 661
Sunday schools, with 928,O4O teachers
and 6,96S, 294 scholars. OF this total
81, POI schools, with 1856, 1928 teachers
and 6, 623, 120 scholars, are in the United
States.
The year 1880 is destined, it is be-
lieved, to be very memorable in the &C.
clesiastical annals of Germany, mas
much as not only is it to see Cologne
Cathedral completed, but the venerable
cathedral of Frankfort-on-Main, part of
which was burnt in 1867, restored. In
terest in this structure centers in the
electoral chapel, in which the Archbish-
op of Maintz used to crown the German
Emperors, who were then anointed be-
fore the high altar. The first was thus
crowned in 1862, the last in 1892.
1T is abundantly possible, says the
Saturday ReuieU, to give children too
much schooling as we'll as too much
church on Sunday, and they have very
often been oppressed with a great deal
too much of both. An hour or two of
Sunday-school, succeeded by two
hours service, probably ending with
sermon entirely beyond their compre-
hension, is more than any children can
be expected to endure with patience,
certainly more than any child will I'M
dergo with profit. Shorter services,
specially arranged for children, with
plenty of singing and discourse neither
too long nor too learned to secure their
attention, offer one solution of the diff
Guilty.

A Sad Warning to Young Ladies.

A young lady on her way to Kansas,
last week, rel1ted story which has been the
experience of many before her. Her home
had been in Central Illinois, she attended
school in Bloomington, and had returned
home to spend the summer months with her
parents, when, little over a year ago, a
young man came into the neighborhood and
In short time won her affections. Her par
ents strongly protested against her having
anything to do with the young man, but she
him last September. The union proved to
{" honey-moon" closed he became dis
sirated, and about Christmas became an
habitual drunkard. She labored to reform
sope: q qssanps linn an sS0h ns
him were futile, though she persevered until
about two weeks ago, when she left him.
She has since had . slight reconciliation
with her parents, who provided her with
the necessary funds to defray her expenses
friends. She expects to engage in teaching
school there, preferring that distant place
to the surroundings and associations OF her
youthful and happy days, and her subsequent
trials and sorrow. She was intelligent,
and her conversation expressed an honest
candor.
Yet we read the story Of this unfortunate
girl, and It is gone with the passing moment;
We read it 40 piece of fiction, the Impression
vanishing with the glance we gave It. AL.
most daily this sad history is the story Of
many. The fippant stranger insinuates him
self into the affections of some innocent girl,
short courtship follows and marriage soon
consummates the transports of . few weeks.
Blighted promises, miserable life or separa-
ton IL the result.
Girls must learn, first, ''all that glitters is
not gold" The waxed moustache, boiled
shirt and plug hat are not infallible standards
by which to judge . young man for hus-
band. And, again, they must learn to obey
more closely the precepts of their parents in
these matters, though they have attained the
years of majority. The "old folks" have
seen more OF the world and its wickedness,

over their daughters with the tenderest solici-
tude; ninety-nine times out of q hundred

hearted parents. In fact few heard her sad
narration without becoming deeply affected

His Welcome from the Old Folks.

Ex-Governor Duvall. of Florida, was
the son of q poor Virginian, stern,
strong. taciturn man. The bow was
huge youth of fifteen. At the cabin fire
at bedtime, according to the custom of
putting on q back log. the old man said,
between the whiffs Of his silent pipe:
Tab. go out and bring in that gum
backlog, and put it ON the fire." Tab
went out and surveyed the log. He
knew it was of no use explaining that
it was too heavy. nor prudent for him
to return without having it ON his ehoul-
der. His little sister, passing, was not
surprised that he reques: ed her to bring
out the gun and powder-horn, as pos
sum or coon might have passed, or the
brother might have seen bear signs
She brought the gun and Tab started
He found the way through the woods
into Kentucky in 1891. After an alb
sence of eighteen years he was elected
to Congress. A man of immense size
and strength, he started for Washing
ton, going by the way of his old home
to see the folks, who had long since
given him up for dead. Entering the
little cabin door near bedtime, he saw
the identical gum log. He shouldered
it, pulled the latchstring, and with his
load stood before the old man, pipe in
mouth, quiet as usual. "Hcre is the
gum log, father" ''Well, you've been
. long time getting it. Put it on the
fire and 20 to bed," was the reply

A Treasure Wagon.

The removal of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, at Washington,
to building half q mile from the
Treasury has made it necessary to pro-
vide new arrangements for the transfer
of money and bonds between the two
establishments. The Department has
had constructed heavy, van-like wag-
on, a sort of vault on wheels, built of
iron and steel. and arranged internally
like bank vault with sheet-iron lin
ing. The doors are fastened with tre-
mendous bolts, and the locks are of the
combination order. The body of the
vehicle is painted an olive color with
gilt OrnamentatiOn. When drawn
through the streets by two immense
horses it attracts considerable attention,
especially as it is always accompanied
by five armed agents of the Treasury
Department, two guarding the front
and three the rear.
PROF. A. S. SAYCE pleads very ear
nestly for a scientific alphabet. He
saws: Writing should represent clear
|ly, tersely and as nearly as possible the
individual sounds of words, and, unless
it does this, it has not advanced much
beyond those infantile stages of growth
through which we have watched it
struggling to pass" One symbol
should be framed for each principal
sound Of a language, so that any new
word can be correctly pronounced at
once. An alphabet which does not
enable us to do this is, in his opinion,
irrational and inadequate. An adequate
alphabet would not disturb the science
Of etymology, because that deals with
sounds, not with letters. III" he
concludes, 1.-THE history of writing has
taught us anything, it is that writing is
perfectable, and that what was done in
old days by those whose civilization we
are apt to consider inferior to our own
can be done also by ourselves"
