A Lake Of Fire.

The burning of Moscow is described
an "ocean Of fame" The scene Of q
burning lake here related must have
been equal in grandeur TO that confagra-
tion, and none Of the less impressive for
being q wonder Of nature. Imagine q
bonfire four or five square miles in ex-
tent.
1t is said that from one Of the chief nap
tina wells of Russia the liquid shoots up
as from a fountain, and has formed o
lake four miles long and one one and q
quarter wide. Its depth is, however,
only two feet. This enormous surface of
inaammable liquid recently became iguit-
ed, and presented an imposing spec
tacle, the thick, black clouds of smoke
being lighted mp by lurid glare of the
central column Of fame, which rose to q
great height. The smoke and heat were
such as to render nearer approach than
one thousand yards distance impracti-
cable. Suitable means of extinguishing
the fire were not at hand, and it was
feared that the conhagration would
spread underground in such manner as
to cause an explosion. This supposition
led man inhabitants Of the immediate vi
cinity to remove TO safer distance.
The quantity of naphtha on fire was esti-
mated at four and half million cubic
feet. The trees and buildings within
three miles distant we're covered with
thick SCOT, and this unpleasant deposit
appeared on persons clothes, and even
on the food in the adjacent houses.
Not only was the naphtha itself burn
ing, but the earth, which was saturated
with it, was also on fire, aud ten large
establishments, founded at a great ex-
pense for the development Of the trade
in the article. were DESTROYED.

Oeliriously Happy.

Among the inmates Of the insane
asylum on Blackwell's Island is hand
some man about fifty-six pears of age
who, the physician in charge says, is the
happiest man in the world and has been
so for the last two years. He imagipes
himself enormously wealthy and his de-
light is to offer costly presents to every
one he meets. He wants to make all the
world as happy as himself, and hence he
promises valuable presents to everybody
he comes in contact with. He gives
away, in his fancy, houses, farms, money,
jewelry, and rich wearing apparel, adap-
ting in every case his gifts the condition of
the people who are to receive them. The
physicians say this poor mau will come
to sudden death, for he is suffering
from general paresis, disease which, it
is said, has greatly increased during the
last decade. Formerly such cases were
very rare, aud physicians would travel
miles to witness and investigate the
mental phenomena OF their condition.
Now they can find one in any asylum.
They i've in wild delirium OF Joy, and
can readily be picked out of crowd of
luuatics by lay visitor, by their exces-
sive cheerfulness. II would be fortu.
nate thing ifllunacy always took the form
of general paresis, for an immense
amount OF suffering would be saved the
most unfortunate class of unfortunate
beings. Sufferers from the disease are
never violent, simply boisterously jubi-
liant. They think the whole world is
their friend.

His Own Monument and Epitaph.

A gentleman from this city who has
Just returned from visit to Vermont, in
visiting cemetery at Cavendish,
Windsor County, saw a monument of
recent date. The person who e.ected it,
and for whom it stands in memory, still
lives, although he has had his funeral
sermon, taking his place in the church
in front Of the mourners. He has now
his coffin ready, in the house, to receive
him as soon as life is ended. 1t is in
scribed:
"Tho'I am dead yet speaketh. For hero Ia rest"
"Upon this milestone top
set the noble block
To let the world no what

To do unto you a / would
That ye should do unto me-
80 cast the beam out Of your own eye
And let me lie in peace,
And sing my redeemed love.
Come my sweet companion,

He being miller, took one of the mill
stones for a base for his monument.
Since the erection of the monument his
'sweet companion" has died.

CAUSE OF GILLIAN SUCCESS.

The Chili-Poruvian war has proven
the fallacy of CHASING the people of all
the Spanish-American republics together
as homogeneous in character and habits.
1t has demonstrated the fact that the
Chilian3 and Peruvians differ as widely
in most things as do the people of the
United States ami Mexico. Difference
OF climate has something to do with the
divergence, as Chill lies outside of the
tropics and consequently possesses the
Same advantage that the inhabitants of
the north temperate zone have over the
people living in the enervating hot
climates. Chili's government is not
only stable one, but may even be
called aristocratic, as the proportion of
voters to male citizens is small. As
more directly connected with the recent
events, the different standards of mil
itary discipline prevailing in the two
countries-Chili and Peru-indicate
clearly the wide difference between the
two people and also the cause of Chili's
success. A correspondent recently writ
ing from Lima puts this matter in clear
light. He says: "Atter having been ac-
customed for many years to the laxity
and carelessness Of the Peruvian military
regime, it quite startles one to note how
inhexible is the discipline observed in
the ranks of the Chilians. 1t is only a
few days since that an artiIleryman shot
his sergeant in revenge for a number of
stripes vigorously administered, and
within 4S hours fell before the muskets
OF q firing party; and not two days since
a couple of deserters from one of the reg
iments were taken out TO the Alameda in
the early morning, followed by process
sion composed of 25 men from every
corps in the garrison, and despatched to
another sphere of duty. Every day al
most the Army Gazette contains an
nouncements of the cashiering of officers
for misconduct and neglect of their obi.
cations, and the soldiers are subjected
to the most rigorous supervision. Con-
sequently the service is not popular, and
the vacancies occurring in the different
regiments are hard to fill."

a NORWEGIAN REPUBLIC.

Among the many queerly constructed
governments of Europe, says the New
York Mail and Express, that which nomi-
nally makes one kingdom of Sweden and
Norway is one Of the queerest. The
Norwegians have their own capital and
their own storthing, or parliament, and
the Swedish army is forbidden to cross
the frontier. The danger of centrali-
zation in such government, il by that
word it can be called, is certainly at q
minimum. There seems to be now q
tendency toward still greater freedom in
Norway. 1t is stated that four-ffths of
the members just elected to the storth-
ing are avowed republicans. If they
shall succeed in setting up republic, it
will be remarkable political evolution.
Republics usually succeed tyrannies;
the path OF states, like that of the moon
around the sun, is not an even advance,
but wabbles" from one-side tosthe
other. The government of the kings Of
Norway and Sweden has not, however,
been generally oppressive. The NUT.
terings of discomfort are not such as
bave been heard for forty years in
Russia. Indeed, were it not for the
genius and energy Of one man, the op-
position to King Oscar would probably
not have amounted to anything. That
one man is Bjornstjerne Bjornson,
novelist, dramatist, poet and-in the
best sense of that word-politician
Twenty-Five years ago, soon after his
graduation from the University of
Christiapia, he edited paper in that
city, which stirred up so much conser-
vaiive opposition that he was compelled
to leave the country and to remain out
OF it for some years. Now, he has such
a hold on the popular heart that his
banishment is impossible; and if be
lives, we may ice before long the re-.
public of Norway established by peace
revolution.

Punishment and Pardon.


Mr.. Stanley tells, in his Dark Con-
tinent," how he dealt mercifully with Q
thief, who was one Of his most valuable
men, and at the same time prevented
the decentralization OF his followers.
Uledi, the coxswain of his boat, and
most useful helper, was detected in o
serious theft. He had stolen five pounds
of beads, on which Mr.. Stanley depend
ed to buy provisions from the natives.
Stanley was perplexed. He could not
spare Uiedi's services, nor could he al
low the offense TO 60 unpunished, lest
his clemency might iniure the discipline
of the corps. He thought the matter
over and wisely determined to leave the
matter TO the company. The chief Of
the negroes spoke first, saying. il 1t had
been one Of the common men, he would
have advised punishment by death, but
as il was Uledi, always bold and faith
full, who had saved thirteen lives, he
should advise whipping. Other lead
ers agreed with the chief. Mr.. Stanley
then asked the opinion Of the boatmeu.
The fret said the offense must be pun
ished, even II the criminal wero Uledi,
but be hoped the whipping would be
light. The next, the culprit's brother,
said, "Uledi is thief. I have begged

EMBEZZLEMENT.

The U. S. Economist has an excellent
article on embezzlement, in the course
Of which it says that honesty, in the
common meaning of the term, is the
cardinal virtue of trade. Integrity in
matters of business, namely, justice be-
tween buyer and seller, is clearly the
bond of union among all who engage in
exchange of value for value. To put
the matter on the footing of the adage
that Honesty is the best policy, &"
would be looking much too low.
Bright honor, in all that regards proper
ty, is the dictate of an enlightened con-
science, and is ennoblipg to man. Prin-
ciples OF honesty are implanted early,
perhaps at an age earlier than the en-
trance upon the most Juvenile business.
The community is startled when some
great sinner absconds. leaving hundreds
Of widows and orphans beggared by his
monstrous frauds. But the food which
has now burst its banks began to trickle
many years ago; and close inspection
will, perhaps, show that the princely
villain has long been living in breach of
other commandments beside the eighth
There was no moral principle. We
warn the youth who enters mercantile
house to watch that he may not be led
into temptation. You feel safe, but so
have others-so have all felt. The
sight and handling Of money works
changes in the mind. Where there is q
chance Of appropriating what is anoth-
er's, he who has no fixed moral principle
will brave the risk Of detection. 1t is
not only perilous but destructive, to ad-
NIT the treacherous thought that the
pettiness OF the crime removes its guilt,
Equally delusive and ruinous is the
pretext which commonly wells the be-
cummings Of embezslement, that what is
extracted shall be replaced. Theft is 10
odious, that he who purloins from his
employers, does so under some
fairer name = than that of steal
ing. Yet, such it is, whether by
detention Of funds, false entries in books,
deceptive Representations as to value,
coaceaimcnt Of errors, or connivance at
the petty tricks Of sthers. Ingenious
youth ought TO be made acquainted with
the fact, whichw We derive from merchants
o. the highest class, that cases of private
dishonesty are much moro common than
appears by any public statement. In
