the strange fallacy which has leu

they seriously insisted that the Constitution

with unwashed hands expecting to resume
their old places unquestioned.
And they complain because partisan

pened in four years and refused to take the
responsibility of reinstating them in the places

mankind in all ages of the world has decioeu
to be treason. How would it have looked 10

armies were disbanded and their gov

Army or Rebel Congress and be received with
open arms in the Federal Congress. There
was nothing in the Constitution to coerce
them in the first instance, or punish them
when they failed. Because the Constitution

umbrage. So they had no recourse, according

view that the rebellion was simply an I'M
fortunate experiment.
Mr.. Stuart has given only the reasons
why the Southern people who were con-
ccrned in the rebellion are justified
in acting with the Northern Democracy. The
real question OF Solid South lie fails to
touch. 1t is not so much the mistake the
late Confederates make IN joining their old
allies-that is not so much to be wondered at
but it is the blunder of making the South
solid by the suppression Of all opposition
through intimidation or fraud, and thus fore
ing upon the North the old sectional issues.

was nailed on the plank SO that she could
move neither her hands nor feet. Beside
her was the head Of a Buddhist priest;
attached on the right-hand side of the
plank some cakes and other eatables so
fixed that she could bend her neck and
eat them. and on the left 5000 copper
cash, and inscribed below was: "This
5000 cash is provided for her coffin when
she is dead and special inscription
was written above her head, whosoever
pities her and endeavols to save her life
they are guilty of man to gu chong,"
which means, "If men save her they are
thieves, and if women save her they are

young damsel belonged to wealthy fam

from Hankow, used this cruel treatment
because she was guilty of criminal inter

she is still floating on the Yangize River.

A physician writes to the Syracuse
StaHdWd. II notice in this mornings
issue of your paper the report Of the
cases of two young men, afflicted by n
peculiar rash on eruption recently, sup
posed to have been induced by bathing
in Onondaga Creek. This reminds mo
of two cases in my own practice, occur
ring within the last few weeks, of two
young men whose entire cutancous
surface, including the scalp, was studded
with on eruption, first popular and at
tended with intense Inflammation, burn
ing, and itching, then versicular, then
pcstuIar, and finally disappearing by
dcsqunmation. These young mel had
recently bathcd in the creek, habitually.
The disease was unique to me, having
never observed or read Of any eruption
exactly like this. 1t had the samblance
of chickcn-pox, although it lacked the
pcarly, circular characteristics of that
disease. Although | have not conferred
with other physicians on this subject to
lcarl. whether they have encountered
like cases, still am inclined to believe
that these cases are not mere co.
incidenccs, but were caused by some
poison i'll the water or in the deposits
along the borders or the bottom of tho
stream. and therefore it would be adj
visablc to avoid bathing in the creek
anywhere between Kinks woods and the
lake.

this secret cupboard is much used, the
Spanish idea of security being Gan idea
founded on bitter experience Of many
years. to cage the windows in iron bars,
lock up the house at night in winter,
look Mt the money, and then say, in Sc
curity and elf-congratulation:
"Why, | am very safe; all | love and
all I need is contained within the four
walls Of my caSn.
There is vast deal Of distrust Of banks
and government securities, and II great
holding to the proverb, "No friend save
God, and dollar in your pocket" And
now with the middle class there is no
banking Of money
The bankers, to begin with, give no
interest, as rule; and SO, just as in Scot
land, in the troubled year Of 1850, the
goldsmiths were the only bankers, 80

COLORED FORGIVENESS.
4 Desparass =. Tair Between Buck Horn
and old Nicholas.

little Rock Gazoite.l
The forGving spirit of the colored peo-
pie is distinctive character Of that race.
The most violent animosities may be
cooled by the wave Of the fan of conces-
sion, and the hottest fire of hatred can
be extinguished by drop Of the milk Of
human Kindness. Sandy Horn, colored
man known in the neighborhood as Buck
Horn, sometime ago met the wife Of one
eyed Nicholas. Mrs. Onecyed Nicholas
was "lkely oman" but her attraction
Mt least for Buck Horn consisted in lack
rather than in the abundance Of the Mrs.
Caesar material. Buck Horn hung
around Nicholas house while the old
man was away. Finally he and Mrs. One
eyed Nicholas ran away and came to Lit

A ChiId's Library.

Our own experience has convinced us
that, for the average child, the element
of possession of book is Of great i'm
portance. The borrowed book, however
attractive, is never read with the loving
enthusiasm with which the child devours
the volume that is his own. Try the ex-
pertinent Of loaning to your pupil
SCOTS Lady If the Luxe, RobinSOn
CruSoe, Arabian Rnights. Give to
another pupil the same book as his own
property; in nine cases out of ten the
borrowed book will be read on the gallop,
hastily taken in and forgotten. The
book owned by the child will be read
leisurely, returned to, and fingered over
with loving fondness; taken out under
the trees in summer; taken down from
the shelf for consultation; really assimi-
lated into the mental and moral being.
1t is the most commonplace truism
that the value Of reading does not de-
pend half as much upon the quantity
gone over as the quality of the book and
the deliberate and thoughtful method Of
using it.
Now, the natural way to interest
child i'll reading is to give it book, suit
able to its years and mental condition,
and leave it to its own way Of appropri-
ating its contents. Every child, nova
days, even the poorest in the public
schools, should be encouraged to found a
library. The boy who sees growing
bookshelf every morning, when he gets
out Of bed, will have constant reminder
to save his pennies to buy some favorite
book, rather than spoil his stomach with
candy or buy "a ticket to the BldcE rrOOk.
Nowadays, when readable editions of
the English classics can be bought for
fifty cents volume, almost every child
is able to buy n few books every year. 1t
is surprising how soon such library as
sumcs respectable dimensions, andamaz-
ing how many beautiful books and valua-
bic magazines are destroyed by children
nowadays for want of some definite
plan Of keeping them together. And
anybody who knows child nature can I'M.
dcrstand how much more thoroughly
the books of that homc-library will be
read than the volume borrowed from any
source.
Teachers and parents, set your chill
dren to this good work Of founding a
child's library and keep them at it till
they need no pushing from you. And it
may turn out that few shelves OF good
books will educate your child more than
all the schools and universities. ~ f.

the number Of seeds usually existing in
cultivated soils. Small portions of the
soil were measured in bulk, and the
number of weeds obtained from these
portions in pots counted. From these
results, after II number of trials, it was
determined that from 100000 to 49,

soils--cnough to supply any number
