Every bachelor Joining

1. Every bachelor joining the
League is to cancel all previous en-
gagements.
3. Every bachelor having Subscribed
for five years to the League, and who,
by misfortune, shall have incurred q
matrimonial engagement, shall be de-
Tended against any action for breach OF
promise, and thus saved from the shame
and misery of going through the Court
of Hymen, which is too frequently an
other name for the Insolvent Court.
8. Connected with the League it is
intended to establish a Bachelors In
surance Office, to insure single men
against marriage and Irritation, on the
same principles as are usually applied
to death and fire. ANY member having
visited willfully house with more than
two manageable daughters, will, in
the event of the calamity of marriage
Detailing him, be recorded in the same
light as felo de Sc, and his policy will
be vitiated on account of the very bad
policy that will have guided him. Any
bachelor falling-into matrimony-by
his own hand, as in the case of writ
ten promise to wed, will be deprived
of all the benefits of his insurance, and
every applicant proposing to be insured
must answer the following questions,
among others that will be proposed to
him: What is your age next birthday
At what age had your father the mis-
fortune to marry your mother? Have
you been afflicted with the German or
other maniap Are you subjected to
sentimental fitsp Have you been ad-
dicted to the writing of sonnetsp Or
have you ever suffered from the caco-
ethics scribendi in any shape, or at any
time whatever Have you at any time
in your life been victim to the flute,
or any other deadly-lively Instrument
Have any of your near relations fallen
in love at any time, and if so, have they
recovered, or have their cases ended
fatally?
If these questions are all answered
in satisfactory manner, any member
of the Bachelors League may insure
any amount under $4,000, to be paid
within three months of the melancholy
termination of his single career, on
proof of wedlock having actually over
taken him. The insurance against fir
tation or fire can be effected where the
applicant is more than ordinarily in
f1ammable, and watering places in the
season, balls and picnic parties must be
considered as doubly or trebly hazard

Typhoid Fever.

Typhoid fever is, of all diseases, pre-
eminently filth disease, traceable with
as much certainty as fire from smoke.
Wherever it exists it points unequivo-
cally to unremoved filth, and is dis
ease, therefore, altogether and wholly
preventable by proper sanitary meas
ures. Notwithstanding, during the
census year of 1870 there were, in the
United States, twenty-five thousand one
hundred and eighty-seven preventable
deaths from typhoid fever. But had
there been the same ratio to the total
population of the United States as in
Philadelphia during Centennial year,
the mortality from this cause would
have been over thirty-seven thousand.
And this was far from being all, as re-
CARDS Philadelphia All over the coun-
try fatal cases of typhoid fever, and
other diseases nearly allied to it, were
attributable to the Centennial vista
tion-the neglected drainage. criminal
insufficiency of water closets and bad
plumbing. These conditions, so promi-
nently manifest at the Centennial, and
apparently to an extraordinary degree
in Philadelphia even yet, as judged by
the prevalence of typhoid fever, are, of
all causes of mortality, the most Grim
inal, because the most easily preventa-
BILE. Universal experience attests that
water closets inadequately provided
with means for speedy and complete
cleansing and aeration are prolific
sources of typhoid fever and kindred
affections in all temperate ATTITUDES,
and, with prevailing high temperature
and moisture, of the still more deadly
disease, yellow fever. And all the more
dangerous are these conditions because
they are not infrequently the means of
spreading that disease to distant places.
The existence of typhoid fever or allied
diseases in any place is prima-facie
evidence of filthy surroundings. -,Sami-

Fashions i'm Faces.

The subject of beauty and of external
attraction has been discussed so per-
petually in every age and in every
country that it is amusing to find how
eagerly each generation takes up the
topic, and how, like love, it is always
young. In general society the at
tractive qualities of woman, apart
from beauty, lose or gain in importance
according to the fashion. At one period
learning, at another wit, at another
blunt frankness of speech, at another
graceful reticence and lady-like bear
ing may hold sway; but the power of
beauty is greater than any of these quail
tiles, and when it is added to one or the
other of them the owner remains para
mount. In speaking of beauty in this
way it is no ordinary type that is i'm
piled, but beauty of that rare kind that
has been immortalized in history, the
loneliness that is capable of running a
nation and upsetting kingdoms. Our
ideas of what constitutes beauty vary
so much that no hard and fast line can
be laid down regarding il. Such face
as that of Mary, Queen of Scots, in the
UOob pOl u dlto VI ucIS ID uOI W U0 COI1-
pared with that of many a lovely por-
trait of our own time or of century
back. But there is no doubt that her
charm ofmanner, her accomplishments,
and last, but really not least, the arts
of the =" toilet acquired by her in
France, made up so fascinating pres
ence that men gladly sacrificed their
hopes in this world and in the world
to come for her sake. 1t is fortunate
that there should be more variety in
taste in ordinary life and that we do not
all think alike, otherwise the effect of
beauty might be terrific. If Helen's
charms had been more doubtful Troy
might have been saved. That it is pos
sible, though, for whole community
to worship, as beauty, positive ugliness,
is well substantiated fact. We read of
an Alpine village, where goitres were
universal, being visited many years ago
by very handsome Englishman. He
fell i'll of fever, and on his GONZALES
cence attended the church to return
thanks for his recovery. His figure

Mustn't DO it Again.

An accident occurred in Thomaston
some years ago in connection with the
Naugatuck Railroad Company, that has
probably never appeared in print. A
man by the name of barrow owned
number of COWS, and one day they es-
capped the confines of their pasture and
strayed on to the car track. The engine
OF a passing train ran over and killed
two of the animals. Next day Mr..
barrow went to Mr.. Waterbury, then
Superintendent of the road, and, after
explaining the matter of his loss to him,
asked him what he would do about it,
Said Mr.. Waterbury: " Was any dam
age done to the road, as you sawPn
g Why, no, not as l know Of" said
barrow. Was the engine or any of
the cars injured in any wayP No, OF
course, not" said barrow. Well,
then" said Waterbury, " if no damage
was done to the company, | won't do
anything about it; but you must be
careful not to allow such thing to oc-
cur again. Waterbury Conn. Amer

A Fight With a CatamOunt.

The lumbermen on the Little Pine
Creek, in Lycoming County, have had
evidence for some time that some wild
animal was prowling around their
camp. A few nights ago Robert Car
son set heavy steel trap on the bank
of the creek, believing the animal ODE
a panther. Day before yesterday he
went to examine the trap. He reached
the spot, but although he had chained
the trap fast, no sign Of it could be
found. He at first thought some one
had stolen it; and was about to return
home, when he discovered punches of
hair lying around on the ground and
evidences of struggle in the bushes.
He was looking around for some trace
of the missing trap, when he was start
led by fearful howl that proceeded
from a tree near by. He lookedup and
saw an immense catamount crouching
on limb. The next instant the ami
NAL sprang at Carson and lighted
on the ground within two feet of
him. Carson saw that he was
saved from the claws of the fero-
cious beast by the fact that his
heavy steel trap was fastened on one
of It's hind feet. The catamount in
stantly gathered itself up for another
spring. Carson had an ak in his hand,
and before the animal could jump he
threw the ak at it and struck it with
such force that the catamount was
knocked several feet down the hill.
Carson is cripple and knew that it
would be impossible to get away from
the catamount, Notwithstanding it was
hampered by the trap. He prepared
to fight the Infatuated animal as best
he could. The catamount did not give
him a moments time to make up his
mind as to his mode of defense, but
rushed at once back up the hill to the
attack. Carson picked up large
stone, and when the animal was
almost near enough to him to
seize him with its claws, he
knocked it down again with the stone.
Carson says the shrieks of the catamount
made his blood run cold, and as it
seemed to understand that the trap
was preventing it from springing upon
its enemy, it snapped and bit iuriously
at the iron that held its leg. 1t hurried
to the attack the third time, when Car
son dealt it blow on the head with a
stone forcible enough to stun it, and
then pounded it to death. The cata-
mount was the largest one ever killed
in this region, and Carson firmly be-
lieves that he owes his life to the fact
that the animal was incumbered by the
trap WilJiGnasport (Pd.) Cor. Nes0

the tail-race in order to find out how
much dirt had been washed out. His
attention was attracted by some shin
ing Jumps. Not knowing what they
were he gathered up several of them
and took them to his fellow workmen
for their inspection. One of these men
had some knowledge of metals, and at
once proceeded to test the nuggets. He
procured some aeuafortis, and after ap-
plying it pronounced it gold and no
mistake. 1t was agreed to keep the
discovery secret, but Marshall was
to inform Captain Suter, who was then
at his fort, some twenty miles distant.
Marshall took several of the nuggets in
bag and started on foot to the fort.
Of the interview Captain Suter gives
the following account: Marshall
reached my place about three o'clock
in the afternoon. He seemed greatly
agitated. He asked me to go into a
private room, as he had something to
communicate. After we were in the
room he asked me to lock the door. l
felt uneasy, for the man looked wild.
After had locked the door he desired
me to place something over the key
hole. "Now, Captain" says he, " do
you think anyone can hear us?" He
then pulled out his bag of precious
metal, and, emptying it upon the table,
desired me to examine it, which did,
and pronounced it gold. Marshall i'm
mediately prepared to return. l told
him to remain all night, and that 1
would go up with him. l could not
persuade him to remain. The next
morning L started on horseback, and
several miles on my way / met Marshall
coming out of the bushes, all wet, it
having rained hard in the night. We
travelled along together until we reached
the saw-mill, where we found all
hands had quit work and gone to gold
hunting
sit is singular fact that the same
man who discovered gold in California
was the cause of its being found in
Australia, in which country it was dis
covered by James Hargrave. England,
for the benefit derived therefrom, by
act of Parliament gave to Hargrave the
sum of $4,000, while Marshall has
never received cent from the United
States, not even pension, showing the
difference between the two Govern
ments. Hargrave and Marshall were
old acquaintance, and HargraYe had
just returned from Australia when Mar
shall met him and induced him to re-
turn to Australia and seek for gold.
This he did, and the result was the find
ing of richer deposits than in Califor-

The New Departure in the Public
Schools.

At length the old system which has
endured so long seems crumbling. and
new methods and new ideas appear on
every side. That old system, the sys-
tenn beloved by the true pedagogue. is
only too well known. 1t is the system
of routine and of cram, and there are
few people under forty who have not at
some time suffered under it.
To excite interest or arouse enthusi-
asm has not been considered the task of
a master in the common schools. On
the contrary, an interested school room
would probably be rather noisy, and
hence Objectionable. Scholarship has
been held to consist in learning text
books by heart, and in answering by
rote such questions as were printed for
the masters use; that school has been
the best where the routine was most
iron bound, where children we're
drilled in their exercises like soldiers
in the manual, and where excellence,
in the one case as in the othsr, de-
pended on turning human beings into
machines.
Now, apart from the fact bat such
discipline is pernicious, becaise it en-
feebles the mind by overlooking it with
undigested matter, and c'ushes out
originality by discouragirg all indie
pendent thought, it is equally obiec-
tionable on other grounds. Long ex-
perience has proved that it is doubt
full blessing to teach MN to read, and
then turn him upon tie world to pick
up such further education as the cheap
literature of great cites affords. The
immense sale of sensational newspa-
pers of the worst class proves the truth
of this fact, and is admitted to be one
of the most threaening signs of the
times. There is mouse in attacking the
publishers of criminal literature by in
dictment, and by fine and imprison-
ment. Where there is demand there
will be supply, all the laws in the
statute book to the contrary notwith-
standing. The true way to suppress
such publications is by lessening the
demand, and this can be done only by
educating the children in the common
schools to read something better. Tina!
much can be done in this direction the
believers in the new departure are
thoroughly convinced, and that with
out any great expense or radical
change, except in bringing common
sense to bear upon the educational
problem. -Murcb atlantic.

of this paper, and occurred in the fol-
lowing manner: Captain Suter was
building saw-mill, and had employed
two or three white men as well as q
number of Indians. They had dug
race to the river and built the frame
work of the mill. In the evening they
had turned the water into the race so
as to sluice cut the tail-race. In the

A Bachelors League.

Many highly respectable men in Lon

files tell us, had become thoroughly i'm
pressed with the idea that something
ought to be done to relieve themselves
from certain social duties which had
been gradually growing more and more

the interested persons it was finally de-

and as the members of that league were

forests by steam. A traction engine OF
twelve horse power is stationed some
distance from the wood, and a wire
chain is fastened to tree. Steam is
then put on, and the tree is pulled
forcibly out by the roots. Upward OF
nine hundred trees per day of ten hours
can be pulled out by this process.
