The Value of Wiyas.

The value of wives varies in different
countries. In America they are often
expensive companions, but in the higher
regions of the river Amar, and on the
Ussun in Siberia, according to informa-
ton furnished to the British Scientific
association by the Rev. Henry Lansdell,
the price of a wife is eight or ten dogs,
sledge, or two cases of brandy. In
another part Of the world, according to
evidence furnished to the same associa-
ton by Wilfred Powell, in New Britain
and the neighboring islands on the east
coast of Guinea, the wives are the abso-
lutte property of their husbands, and are
bought, sold and eaten by their better
halves. There was one New Britain
young woman who rebelled at her matri-
monial relations, whereupon her hus-
band said he could put her to better use,
and straightway killed and ate her. I'm
fortunately, according to the same au-
thority, the eating is not confined to
wives. The natives are fond of mission
ary meat, and think the English are un-
utterably stupid because they are unwil-
ling to feast on such delicacy as the
human thigh, prepared with cocoanut
milk and dressed with banana leaves.
Mr.. Powell does not advise woman to en- en- ).
igrate to New Britain. =" @@'se!&l1s;

and later received the name of "The
Cradle of New York." It is a thickly
wooded little park, and is ornamented
with pretty fountain. Its area is trifle
over half an acre. Being directly oppo-
site the old fort it was great resort for
the worthy burghers century ago, and
was the spot generally selected for the
holding Of out of door meetings. Be-
fore the revolution, the spot now occu-
pied by the fountain contained stat,,e
OF George Ill, mounted on fiery
horse, and bidding defiance to the world
at large. On the evening that the news
OF the adoption of the declaration of in
dependence at Philadelphia reached this
city, a mob of excited citizens gathered
on the green to discuss the exciting
events of the day The incongruity Of
the presence of their late monarch's
statue struck them simultaneously. and
without delay it's destruction was resoIv
ed upon. Arope was placed around the
neck of King George, and hundreds of
willing hands, joining in hearty tug,
brought king and horse to the ground.
The statue being of lead, was afterward
melted aud made into bullets, many of
which no doubt found billets in the
bodies OF King Georges soldiers. Or
poslte the green were, in earlier DAYS.

Victor Huuo.
tFrom the N. Y. Times, Feb, 26,

tfroAa tue N. I. Times, Feb. 26.1
Victor Hugo, who begins to-day the
elghtieth year of his age, led strange
life i n his early childhood, and full
record of it, did we possess one, would
be as romantic as any story he has told.
Born when Napoleon was in the full
flush of power, his parents had been
identified with the two opposing parties
which, in the last century, were in vio-
lent struggle for supremacy in France.
His mother was an ardent royalist. q
native of La Vendee, the last and most
unyielding stronghold of the church and
nobility. She had part in the famous
lnsurrection of La Vendee, where q
hundred thousand lives are believed to
have been lost, and, with Mines.
DE Bouchamp and De Larochejaquelin,
was surrounded in wood and subdued
after the insurrection had long bafaed
the skill Of generals to put it down.
Hugo's paternal grandfather, who be-
longed to the old nobility and dated his
title from the middle of the sixteenth
century died on the scaftold under
R!obespierre. The father of the poet
linked his fortunes with Bonaparte, be-
came general in his army, and finally a
governor of important provinces in
Spain. Before the boy was 5 years of
age, Gen. Hugo's Office had carried him
to Elba, Corsica, and Switzerland. and
then into Calabria to suppress Fra
Diavolo. Into these countries he took
his son, and in Italy allowed him to
study Roman history and the Italian
language. Before Young Hugo was 8
he had seen Spain. It was fitting that a
child who had Witnessed so much should
develop early the genius for authorship
that was in him. He wrote verses of
striking merit in the tenth year of his
age, thus offering parallel to the pre-
cocity of many English authors Pope,
Chatterton, and Bryant, not to mention
Tasso among Italians. He shared. in q
sense, the fate of Bryant and his
" Thanatopsis," for at Is when he sent
q prize essay to the academy, he failed
OF the prize, because the judges would
not believe so young a person was the
author OF the essay. It is known to few
outside OF France, that Hugo has had
two brothers who made mark as
writer's. One was historian OF consid-
cradle repute in France, the other q poet.
who died in 1887. Eminent authors
With brothers who have made names
IS writer's are common in this century,
! fact which we do not remember to have
seen remarked. A list of them would in
,lude, besides Hugo, Tennyson, CARLYLE.
Cardinal Newman, and our own BRYANT

How to Amuse the Little Ones.
[Aunt Ruth in Christian Intelligencer. !

kAunt ruin IN Christian 1nte1ligeQcer.7
Here Is one way. For a few moments
this morning my ingenuity was put to
the test. as dear child of six summers
stood before me saying, "Won't you
help me on with my sacque, I am going
out to the barn now?'' She is her
fathers almost constant companion on
The farm. But it was raining hard and
would be too damp for her at the barn.
l said, Don't 60 out now, darling, it
rains. Play here with your things and
get dinner for the dollies." No: she did
not wish to do that. Then said "Don't
you want to have paste and paste pic
lures in book?" This proposal pleased
her and the paste was made. From
among her own playthings she found
book and pictures. I showed her how
to cut and paste them nicely, and then
for two hours or more she sat by the
table working at her book and pictures.
The book she pasted them in was only
bright-covered almanac. and the pic
lures were cut from old advertisements
Of different things. Almost any mother
could find as much to amuse her child.
Dear mothers, don't say too often to the
little ones when they ask for something
to do. ooh, do go away and play. [
cannot bother with you, Iwantto work"
Remember, when you spend some of
your precious moments in starting some
thing which will amuse your child for
hours, it is noble work. Make their
childhood happy if you can. Be kind
to the children. Answer their questions,
even if it takes time and Thought. As
this little one was working this morning.
she often asked me to look at it to see #
it was right. I did so and I am happier
tonight because l did it. At noon the
clouds broke away and I helped her with
sacque and rubbers, and away she went
to have good time with papa.
