origin of Nnu,es I'm the week.

In the museum at Berlin, in the hall de-
voted to northern antiquities, they have
the representations from the idols from
which the names of the days of the week
are derived. From the idol of the Sun
comes Sunday. This idol is represented
with his face like the sun, holding a burn.
ing wheel with both hands on his breast,
signifyiDg his course round the world. The
idol of the Moon, from which comes Mon
day, is habted in a short coat, like a man,
but holding the moon in his hands, Tuisco,
from which comes Tuesday, was one of the
most ancient and popular gods of the Ger
mans, apd represented in his garments of
skin, according to their peculiar manner of
clothing; the third day of the week was
dedicated to his worship. Wooden, from
which comes Wednesday,, was valiant
prince among the Saxons. His image was
prayed to for victory. Thor, from whence
comes Thursday, is seated in bed, with
twelve stars over his head holding scep
ter in his hand. Friga, from whence we
have Friday, is represented with drawn
sword in his right hand, and bow in his
left. Scatter, from which is Saturday, has
the appearance of perfect wretchedness
He is thin-visaged, long haired, with a
long beard. He carries pail of water in
his right hand, wherein are fruits and
flowers.

Death OF n Daughter of Con. Scott


Mrs. Goold Hoyt, daughter of the late
Gen. Winfield Scott, died at her residence
in New York Wednesday morning. She
occupied prominent position in social cir
cles. The New York Herald learns that
Mrs. Hoyt, although not in health, had
been suffering at times from severe pains
from which dose of laudanum generally
relieved her. On Tuesday afternoon she
had an acute attack of pain, and used the
same remedy as before, though it is sup
posed in a much larger quantity than usual
At about half-past six o'clock in the even
ing one of her daughters went to her room
to tell her that dinner was ready, and
found her, as she supposed, asleep, but be-
ing unable to arouse her became alarmed.
Physicians were summoned, and by
3o'clock Wednesday morning she was
sufficiently restored to satisfy them that
the worse danger was over and to relieve
the household from great deal of anxiety.
Shortly before o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, when everything seemed to be pro-
crossing favorably, Mrs. Hoyt suddenly
expired. Her death was unexpected by
the physicians who attended her, and it is
said they are of opinion that she was suf-
fering from some organic disease which the
laudanum acted upon with fatal result, al
though her death is not attributed directly
TO the poison. Tho diseased was married
TO Mr.. Goold Hoyt in December, 1851, and
leaves, besides her husband who has fol
some time been an invalid, three daughters
and three sons.

Senator Newberry briefly addressed the
Senate, denouncing caucus rule and one

in the two houses resulted; Allen 20,
Brockett 40, Massey 6. DR.. Allen was de.

There are some men in this community
so devoid of humor that they couldn't see
joke if it was fred into them by a ten
inch gun. The other day old John Per-
kins, whose office is on Battery street, went
to the hich connects with his
residence on Van Ness avenue-and chang.

''Howdy, Mrs. Perkins; are you alone ?'
"Is that you, BobY' was the faint re-
sponse, after pause.
"Yes," replied the merchant; "when can

"Well, the old pelican may come home to
lunch presently" was the response, $50
perhaps you had better drop in casually
this evening, as it is club night"
But instead of Bob nobody dropped in
but man to take out the telephone, al

swore she knew it was joke all the time

A Surgical Triumph.

DIR. r. ]. Lewis, of Philadelphia, is
credited with the performance of remark
able surgical operation. John Delaney
months ago with his face, neck and breast
terribly lacerated by an explosion, in coal
mine. The wounds healed, but the sufferer
was disfgured. Perhaps the worst feature
of his case was his inability to close his
eyes, the lids having been torn away. The
head, too, was drawn forward SO that the
chin rested below the cellar-bone. DR..
Lewis, by what is known as the plastic
operation, succeeded in restoring the head
to its natural position, using bandages and
weights. Two upper eyelids were formed
from the skin of the mans little finger,
which had been amputated, and last week
a large piece of skin was taken from the
arm and used in making lower eyelids.

Legislature scene.chewer.

san FrancscO Posi-.
Probably the greatest curiosity in WASH
ington just now is the member from the
Fourth Tennessee district, who had been
an actor of the heavy villain species up to
the time of his eleAion. Visitors to the
House gallery say that this party moves a
resolution in manner highly suggestive
of both Forrest and Booth. He has already
been called to order four times for address
ing the Speaker as "Sirrah !" and ''Varlet,"
And when he snorts, rolls his eyes. grits
his teeth, and alludes to some opposing
speaker as "How now, caitif?" his awe
struck colleagues feel as though they had
been deadheaded into five act melodrama.
At last accounts the histrionic statesman
was striving to introduce bill providing
for the appointment of an official prompter

said the st. Jacobs Oil is known to about

of ills, such as rheumatism. neuralgia,
sprains, etc. Mr.. Fisk stated that he had
been using it a long time for sprains and
bruises, and always found relief. Upon one
occasion, while getting off train, he
slipped and huIt his knee very badly. The
hurt was SO severe that it laid him up. lie

Euuber Week.

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of next
week are Ember days. Flesh meat is pro-

Protestant Episcopal Churches, the name
being derived by some from German
word signifying abstinence" though others
derive it from Saxon word meaning "a
circuit." Ember days occur four times a
year, namely, in the week after the first
Sunday in Lent, after Whit-Sunday, after
the 14th of September, and after the 18th of

Boiler Explosions.

1t is hardly necessary, says London Iron,
to remark that in ninety nine out of every
hundred cases of fatal boiler explosions there
is nothing more accidental than there would
be in the death that might be caused by firing
a gun in the midst of crowd. 1t a steam
boiler explodes the inference that negligence
has been displayed may at once be drawn
with almost absolute certainty; and the bust
ness Of a court of inquiry in such case is to
fix the responsibility for the occurrence in
the proper quarter. To talk of accidents
in these matters is sheer nonsense. If the
cupidity which induces owners to work boil
ers long after they should have been broken
up as old iron, or to withhold the outlay for
keeping them in satisfactory repair. and the
carelessness of boiler tenders are accidents,
then the verdicts Of coroners' juries are
sound: otherwise they are simply meaning
less. 1t is high time that public opinion
should undergo some degree of education in
such matters, and it clearly rests with the
authorities to impart the training required by
instituting criminal proceedings in every
case of gross negligence.
