A Painted Boy.

The denizens of Hartwell, village
fifteen miles north of Cincinnati, are
much incensed over an outrage commit
ted BY q man named Zeibe, who in fit
of passion perpetrated an act that came
near resulting in the death of a little boy.
The tarring and feathering of Zeibe was
seriously talked of, and the excitement
in the community has not yet subsidized.
Mr.. j. Burgess, who is q collector of in
ternal revenue, has little son about
seven years old. The lad has been q
playmate of son of the man Ieibe. On
Friday last the two boys were playing
together and during the afternoon they
found their way into Zeibe's carriage
house, where they discovered a pot of
mixed paint 1t occurred to the young
sters that it would be grand sport to
paint something, and one of the wheels
of Zeibe's buggy was soon pretty
thoroughly smeared. The wheel was
thus covered with coat of an entirely
different color from that of the other
three. When Mr.. Zeibe became aware
of the transformation he flew into ter
rible rage and proceeded to mete out
such punishment as in his opinion was
commensurate with the enOrmity of the
offense. Catching the little Burgess boy
he stripped him of his clothing and
painted him from head to foot with the
same mixture that had been used in
daubing the buggy wheel. The poor
boys hair was filled with the stuff, and
his body completely covered with it.
The paint closed up the pores of the skin
and came near killing the lad before he
reached home, and it was removed with
great difficulty. The shock to the boys
nervous system was nearly fatal and the
danger-line has not yet been passed.
Mr.. Burgess, the father of the painted
boy, went over to Mr.. Zeibe's with the
righteous intention of whipping him for
the outrage. Unfortunately he depend
ed upon his fists for weapons, and, being
a small man and Zeibe big fellow, Mr..
Burgess got much the worst of the en-
counter. An effort was made to organ
ize crowd to tar and feather Zeibe, but
the matter was postponed in order to
give Mr.. Burgess further opportunity
of meeting Mr.. Zeibe on more equal
terms. Cincinnati Special TO Chicago

NO government aid is given to the
peasant in the Rhine province; he must
rafse money by frugality and hard work
before he can hope to ''sit under the
shade of his own tig-tree." There are
many private societies for advancing
money, at low rates of interest-none
hlgner than five per cent. If man
desires to buy his holding, he is at liberty
to pay portion down. and the rest by
annual installments- From the date of
the nrst payment the property is his own.
should he become bankrupt, the land
lora can not seize it, he must take an
aGtloh against the insolvent purchaser,
when the land is sold by public auction,
ana from the proceeds he is paid such
a sum as the Judge considers equitable.
The price of land varies from POO to 800
thalers (t30 to 975) for a ''morgen,"
nine-tenths of an acre. in the Rhine
province; but this varies in different To-
cahties, and is, of course, dearer near
towns and cheaper in the country dis
trlcts. When land is rented, however,
from fl to Is los. per "morgen'' is
usually paid; but this, too, varies acord-
ing tothe demand for and quality of the
land,
A portion of land is in some commu-
nltles set apart for experimental hus-
bandry, and only such seeds and fertil-
lzerS as produce good results are bought
Inc peasants, too, pay professors of
agriculture to test the value of chemical
manures, while experienced men travel
from village to village to give needful
Inclination Tho nd ,oSnltS If
bination again prove the truth of the
proverb which is constantly. though,
alas, Intellectually, dinned into our ears,
'Unity is strength" Bullocks are more
used for blowing than horses. Very
little stock is kept in this part of Ger
many, and between the fields are white
washed landmarks, not fences.
The cottages have in nearly every case
an upper story, and never consist of less
than three rooms and loft. They are
built in many instances of wood, but
more frequently of brick, plastered
white and crossed by black beams. They
are scrupulously clean; most have bright
green shutters and are often empowered
in creeping plants. The furniture is
simple, and stoves in which coal is
burned are to be found in every house.
Wood is in the Rhine province too dear
to admit of its being generally employed
for fuel as it is in the North, and turf is
little used here, though common in other
localities.
The food is chiefly vegetable Break
fast consists OF black coffee and rye
bread, better quality of which is called
''fine bread" and eaten by the upper
classes with slices of buttered white
bread like sandwiches. The father of
the family, if able to afford it, may in
dulge in sausage as well. The dinner
is composed invariably of large tureen
of soup, cabbage, potato, buttermilk,
pea, beer, black bread, raisin, or rice, as
the case may be; the buttermilk and
beer soups are to an Irish palate about
as appetizing as Spartan broth! Meat is
with the poorer classes rare luxury;
but they eat every variety of vegetable,
cooked in a much superior manner to
ours, and rendered palatable with dip
ping. On high days and holidays
'tsauerkraut'' and sausages make their
appearance.-Harper'S Bazar.

THE HAY FIELD.

Is any season so blithe and merry,
SO gay with flowers, or so sweet with song,
AS that of the rose and the ripened cherry,
When nights are tranquil and days are long2
The earth has forgotten her time of sadness,
The silence and shadows have passed away;
There is nothing but universal gladness
Among the hay.
This is the season when lads and Iasses
Are up betimeS in the sunny field;
When the swish of the scythe lays low the
And the passing hours new pleasures yield,
The time of the festive, sweet hay-making,
When the sporting laugh and the joyous
word,
And the song of grateful love partaking
Are all day heard.
Why should we squander the hours in signing
That things which are lovely do not stay,
That the dancing grasses so soon are dying?
Let us be merry amid the hay.
There is time enough Tor the coming sorrow,
There is wealth of beauty around us yet;
Let us use to-day and leave tomorrow,
Nor God forget.
Blue and bright is the sky above us,
Sweet with flowers is the scented air;
All things whisper that God doth love US,
All sounds woo us to happy PRAYER;
The forest glades are win n 10Y SONGS ringing
Let human voices to Him be singing
From fields OF hay.
Though far away are the days of childhood,
OF glad Observation-Disclosures, careless mirth.
There is pleasure still in the field and Wild
wood,
And joy for all dwellers in Gods fair earth
What does it matter that we grow older?
The best shall come when we pass away;
And we learn a lesson that makes faith holder
From fields of hay.
Nothing is coming that need Cypress us;
Let us raise in triumph truStfu song;
God is our father and He will bless us,
His love makes summer the whole year long,
Though skies should darkcn and flowers be
falling,
Though life be stormy and days grows dim,
Gods powcraud mercy are aye prevailing;
We trust in Him.

What Has England Done for India i?

The responsibility assumed by England
twenty-four years ago is one which was
laid upon the back of every elector in
this country. Yet nothing, absolutely
nothing, has been done to teach our
electors-that is to say, our people-what
is meant by our rule in India. Mr..
Pidgeon has stated part of the case adj
mirably. What, he asks, has England
done for this vast Empire? She has
converted an immense amount of Jungle
land into fertile land, she has drained
malarious swamps, Joined the interior to
the seaboard by railways, spanned great
rivers, constructed canals, irrigated bar
rem lands, made native races live peace
ably, stopped the raids of Afghans, Per-
slams and Tartars, put down predatory
castles, substituted justice for oppression,
police for soldiers, schools for idolatorous
temples. She has further erected great
trading cities, introduced manufactures,
opened mines, made beginning in
teaching the people and revived the
literature of the country. Five thousand
native books were published in India in
the year 1878, and there are $50 native
journals, The family life of the Hindoo
has been touched by the modern intel
lectual movement; there are some signs
of an uprising from the degr adation of
the Zenana; and the establishment of
municipalities on the ruins of the old
village guilds points to the awakening
of new political life. This is solid
and an honorable record, and effectually
disposes of the old pyramid of beer
bottles theory. This, is, however,
great deal yet to be done. India is in
parts over-populated; irrigation must
be extended; there must be an equitable
land law; and we must consider in
whatever we undertake the fact of the
frightful poverty of the vast majority of
the people.-Saturday Review.

Economy is wealth. 1t takes a child
six or seven years to learn to read and
spell intelligently. But an English gen
tleman says his little boy of four years
will read any phonetic book without the
least hesitation, not even baking at the
hard names in the Bible. His father
taught him to read after this method in
eight hours. Another gentleman says
that he has taught poor children in Glas-
gov to read the Sermon on the Mount
phonetically in the course of six hours
study. Time is money Chicago NcWS.

A Tidal Wave.

The liquor-dealers and their numer-
Gus sympathizers are beginning to I'M
derstand that the Temperance tide is
really coming in after a l. That the
1000 majority which Iowa gave in
favor of a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors in that State is
genuine handwriting on the wall and
quite easily read. Kansas holds to her
noble position, and the mighty State of
Ohio is swinging into line. Arkansas
has closed three-fourths of her saloons
under the Option law, and though the
Kinds Bill " failed in Illinois it is to
be tried again in another form.
Nebraska enfOrces her Anti-Treating
law, and Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Indiana lay heavy burdens on
the rum-seller, and keep up the old
fight against the saloon. All this in the
face of the oft-repeated declaration that
the Maine Liquor Law is failure, and
that prohibition does not prohibit.
The stale old lie that more liquor is
sold under the Prohibitory law than I'M
der license law will not 90 down with
the common people, whose quick rea-
soning notes the fact that while the
rum-sellers declare their business to be
better under a Prohibitory law, they at
the same time move earth and the other
place to get the restrictions lifted.
The Iowa men and women Join hands
with Kansas, and push the battle to the
gate. 1t may we'll be said of the Tenn
perance movements, as it has been said
of revolutions: They never go backward.
They may be begun at wrong. times,
and managed by wrong hands; may be
marred by excuses and retarded by
folly, but they never go backward.
This movement is to overturn and over
turn till He whose right it is shall reign.

In recent visit to the State of Maine
we took our own observations and made
inquiries in regard to the much disput-
ed question whether prohibition has
been a success or a failure, and we come
to an undoubting conviction that it has
been decided success. This does not
mean that no liquor is sold in the State.
1t is, perhaps, an impossibility wholly
to prevent its introdu ttion or its sale.
This will be carried on to certain ex-
cent, as long as mems appetites and Gu
pidity remain what they are. But the
great point has been gained-and this
is an immense gain-that the sale of in
toxicatng liquors is driven out of soci-
ETY., is under ban, and the evidence
of an extensive uses of such drinks is
driven out with it. Rec. Dr.. S. 1.
