American Street Railroads in Rio
JaneilO.

The street railways of Rio de Janeiro,
the government tax upon which is said
to have caused violent outbreak in
that city, have had somewhat curious
history. Established by an American
company about Is years ago, during the
Paraguayan war their first appearance
happened to coincide with that of the
treasury bonds with which the govern
ment attempted to relieve its financial
embarrassments; and from this circum-
stance the cars took the name of "bOnds,"
by which they are known. They at once
became popular, by enabling the respect
able residents to traverse unmOlested
the quarters inhabited by the negro and
mulattO population. The company
gradually extended its operations till in
1872 its cars made $50 round trips daily
with a radius of five or six miles beyond
the town. From Rio de JaneirO they
spread to Bahama, PernambucO, and
other great seapOrts, their tickets act
ually passing current as money, and be-
ing used as such by all the stores and pub
lie Offices. The cars are of fac simile
of the ordinary New York street car, and
are drawn by mules, most of the con-
ductOrs being men of color.

A FISH STORY.

Ne Chance for Moderate LIARS Here.
Boston Correspondence of the Forest and
Stream.
One pleasant summer afternoon was
standing upon the shore of pond, down
on Long Island-way dOwn-where Mr..
HallOck has, trow, many times and oft
cast line. watching the play of swal-
lows as they skinned just over the sur
face of the water shortly before sunset.
About 100 yards out was a bed of lily
pads, and as the swallows skipped it oc-
casiOnally good sized ripple could be
seen, and sometimes break from the
edges indicating fish there. This fast
ened my attention to the particular
place. had often seen cats play with
swallows, swOOping at them, but the
idea of fish doing the same was some
thing new to ME. Presently l saw a
clean breach and a fine large pickerel
showed his whole size and got a swallow
too as he disappeared beneath the water.
This saw repeated several times, and
called the attention of my companion to
this novel sight. While we were watch
ing we saw two large fish break at the
same swallow, the fish coming from OppO-
site directions and each head on to each.
Both missed the swallow, but singular
to relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water and neither was observed
to pass the other. My companion and
myself looked with wonder. There was
a great cOmmOtiOn in the water, with a
continuous scattering, and boat being
handy, we jumped in and rOwed to the
snot and picked up the largest pond
plckerel ever saw. When we had him
in the boat, the mystery was solved;
the smaller of the fish had i'm his eager
ness for the swallow jumped clear down
the larger ones throat, and only the
tail to the extent of about an inch, show
ed. The large fish was completely rent
asunder and killed by the catastrophe.
Both together weighed 50 pounds.

The customary standards by which
the success or failure of teachers work
is gagged are very imperfect. Many
parents settle the whole question on ex-
animation day. If their children fail to
shine as brilliantly as they expected to
see them on that day,the whole has been
little better than time thrown away. Ex-
animation day has its value, but it is
usually given too much Importance as a
grand trial day of teachers work and the
scholars progress. 1t is day on which
the scholar with the best memory too
often gets credit as the best scholar, and
the teacher who is the most skillful in
getting up the programme and in general
scenic effects is regarded as the most
efficient.
1t is not an easy matter to define sue
cessful teaching, or to give teacher his
or her just need of credit or censure.
The parents can only judge of the value
Of teachers instruction to their chill
dreD by the interest which they take
in their studies, and their progress up
ward from grade to grade or class to
class. A genuine interest shown by a
child for his studies is far better sign
of good, faithful teacher, than is rapid
promotion into higher classes. The
scholar who shoots rapidly ahead and
shines very brilliantly in school not fire.
quently fails in after years to come up
to the fond anticipatiOns Of those who
have prOphesied him high place in the
temple of fame.
One teacher may put his pupils
through twice as many books as another,
and not teach them one half as much.
A teacher who enters school room as
machiniSt enters his shop, and
sees his days work before him i'm the
shape of boy and book which in some
way, or any way, provided it's the quick
est way, are to be pounded together, is
not fit to teach a school. The teacher
who teaches nothing but what the books
teach only half does his duty. We do
not expect teacher to teach the scholar
manners, or truthfulnesS, for these
should be taught at home. We do ask
them to teach the scholar the value of
time, the value of education, and its
chief end. We would have the pupil
learn to think and to act for himself
Learn to feel that it is Of little real ben
eft to him to reach the last page Of his
school book, unless when he has reached
it he has learned more from the book
than the author intended it to teach.
A teacher who has taught his pupil
these things has taught him to study.
Such teachers instruction will not be
laid on the shelf with the WORKOUT
school book, but will so with the pupil |
into the greater school of life. Happy |
the pupil who finds such a teacher. |

made for the sofa.

Years ago-in the autumn Of 1871
two strangers met i'm what was then q
farming suburb of New York (it must
have been very near what is now the
corner of Eighth Avenue and Twenty
ninth street,. One was young man
from the country, with his spare ward
robe in a bundle under his arm; and
the other a merchant of the city. The
cOuntry-lad, observing that the gentle
mas was kind-lOOking, ventured to adj
dress him.
"Can you tell me, sir" he said, where
l can find wOrk?"
The gentleman asked him what kind
of work he was looking for.
"As to that, sir" answered the youth,
cheerily, II am not particular, so long
as it is honest. 1 left home hoping that
1 might get an opportunity to teach
school; but / find little encouragement
in that direction. But I must earn q
living somehow. l am strong and am
not afraid of work. 1 can take care of
horses, or can wheel barrow"
Sand you think know enough to keep
SCHOOL,"
II hope so, sir"
But, failing that, you are willing to
Work at any hoHesI oaiiihs'
"Yes sir"
The gentleman reflected a few mo-
ments, and then handed to the youth a
card, saying:
Call, tomorrow morning at the store
there designated. If you do not find
work before, you may find it there"
On the following morning the young
man was at the stOre-a large whole
sale house on Fulton street-and there
met his friend of the previous day. He
was engaged as a porter, and he set
about his work readily and cheerfully,
and proved himself attentive, punctual
and faithful. And he remained in that
same house, working his way upward;
and to-day he is one of the wealthiest Of
our New York merchants-wealthy in
material things, and wealthy in honor
and trust. His name is known far and
wide, and is bond Of itself; and he is q
power for good in the land that gave
him birth. And the place which he
now occupies is open to every youth in
the land who has the wish and the will
to climb the ladder,

The History OF Writing.

The Ashmclean Museum at Oxford
contains one of the oldest monuments
of civilization in the world, if, indeed,
it is not the very Oldest. This is the
lintel-stone of q tomb which formed the
last resting-place of an officer who lived
in the time of King Sent, of the second
dynasty, whose date is placed by NJ.
Mariette more than 5000 years ago.
The stone is covered with that delicate
and finished sculpture which distin-
guished the earliest period of Egyptian
history, and was immeasurably superior
to the stiff and conventional art of the
later ages of Egypt which we are ac-
customed to see in our European muse
ums. But it is also covered with some
thing more precious still than sculpture,
with hieroglyphics which show that
even at that remote epoch Egyptian
writing was a complete and finished
art, with long ages of previous devel-
opment lying behind it. The hero
glyphic characters were already used not
only pictorially and geographically,
but also to express syllables and alpha
bette letters, the name of the King, for
instance, being spelled alphabetically.
In the hands Of the Egyptian scribes,
however. Egyptian writing never made
any further progress. With the fall of
what is called the Old Empire (about
B. C. $500 the freshness and expan-
sive force of the people passed away.
Egyptian life and thought became fos-
silized, and through the long series of
centuries that followed Egypt resem-
bled one of its own mummies, faithfully
preserving the form and features of a
past age and of life which had ceased
to beat in its veins. Until the introduc-
ton of Christianity the only change
undergone by Egyptian writing was the
invention of a running-hand which in

Tea In Scotland.

In 1743 there was quite an anti-tea
agitation in Scotland, where it was
pronounced by the famous Duncan
Forbes to be "in many respects an i'm
proper diet, expensive, wasteful of
time, and calculated to render the
population weakly and effeminate."
During that time there was vigorous
movement all over Scotland for abol-
ishing the use of tea Resolutions were
passed by town councils and the inhabit-
ants of villages condemning it and ad-
vocating beer. Sir William Fullerton's
tenants in Ayrshire entered into the
following bond: "We, being all farm
ers by profession, think it needless to
restrain ourselves formally from in
dulging in that foreign and consump-
tive luxury called tea; for when we
consider the slender constitutions of
many of higher rank among whom il
is used. we conclude that it would be
but an improper diet to qualify us for
the more robust and manly part of our
business; and therefore we shall only
give our testimony against it, and leave
the enjoyment of it altogether to those
who can afford to be weak, indoleni
and useless"

Denocratic Booms Out Of Sight.

. All the Democratic booms are out Of
sight, and the barrel holds the field
alone. Bayard is abandoned by every
body except the World newspaper and
the South. Hancock, for some reason
or other, has no advocates anywhere,
except q few in the South. Seymour is
hidden completely behind his brass and-
irons. Randolph had shadow of a
chance. and he wiped it out himself
with uncommon ability. Thurman and
Hendricks have been dead for six
months, and there is no hope of resur-
rection. The Jewett boom exists sole
ly in the imagination of his personal
friends, and there isn't bit more real
ity to the alleged Palmer and Church
booms. The Great Whisperer is master
of the situation, and the party realizes
its fate and is making up its mind to
submit and look pleasant. Even Tam
many contents itself with muttering
about the unwistlOm of nominating Til
den, and carefully. abstains from all
threats to bolt. Committeeman Priest,
of Missouri, says Mr.. Dorsheimer as
sured him that Tammany will support

Grow ugly weeds. With my heart

The weeds of cant and deceit.

Begets few thanks, much hate;

NUMBER 80.

Hill proposition defeated even at the
cost of dividing the Democratic major
ity. Nevertheless, the disgraceful eff
fort win have been made, and, Il 1t
fail by a few votes, the failure win be
due, not to any Democratic sense Of
Justice, but to the fear that the outrage
may be injurious to the party. III
There is another view, entirely inde-
pendent of the agreement which the
Democrats made in their own interest,
which renders the attempt to 0ust Kel-
logg revolutionary and dangerous. The
Senate has once declared him to be law
fully entitled to his seat. The only
lawful way to deprive him Of this right
is by means of expulsion, which must be
for good cause, and which requires q
two.thirds vote. If the Senate should
remove Kellogg in any other manner by
simple resolution of the majority, it
would establish q precedent which
would render the tenure of a seat in the
United States Senate as uncertain and
insecure as that of a place in revolu-
tionary body in Mexico or one of the
South American States. Thereafter the
ruling majority in the Senate, no matter
how often it might change, would
always have the power to unseat any
member of the minority whom Ii might
desire to exclude. There would never
be any final settlement,of7 . Senatorial
election, and every Senator's title to his
seat would depend upon the success OF
his party in keeping political control OF
that body. In this respect the ousting
of Kellogg would be long step in the
direction of anarchy. ra7zts.a.z
1t is not likely that the Democrats in
the Senate will have the manliness and
decency to dispose of the Kellogg case
as the sNesUs and Courier advises. 1t
may be that they viii not dare to adopt
Ben Hills resolution; but in that event,
they will probably postpone considers
tion of the caseinde efnitely and thus seek
to divert public attention from it until
after the Presidential campaign. If the
case be treated in this manner. the peo-
pie may be sure that the Democrats viii
only await further accretion of power
in the Government from this year s
election to revive the Kellogg outrage.
and perhaps to proceed against other
Senators and Representatives of any
minority party, no matter how strong
their title nor how sacred their rights
may be. The Democrats nave shown
that they seek power only to abuse it.
