Zoo See We'll we bust Live wen.

Every event, no matter how trivial, is
pointing to the absolute freedom of man.
How can it be otherwise? Man is the
blossomed thought, passing rapidly into
the matured fruit of matter; every day
and hour, every revolution of the earth
on its axis contributes their ripening in
auences to him. Alre ady he is learning
his own powers, and from them the
powers of others. He is finding his own
equipose, and establishing from this
point the equipose Of the universe.
Archimedes said that if he had fulcrum
on which to rest his lever, he could lift
the world. The man who finds himself
has found this fulcrum.
Is it not singular fact that in proper
ton as man finds himself he finds 9th
ers? The more he sees Of his own rights
the more he sees of his neighbors'
rights. The more he expands in upward
growth, the larger all men look to him.
Beauty is in the eyes of the possessor,' y
it is said. 1t Is by the sense of beauty
that the presence of beauty can be re-
cognized. The same may be said Of
goodness and virtue, of greatness In
every form, and alas, in every form Of
vileness also. The loving thought seeks
its counterpart when sent to the breast
of another person, and will bring back
nothing else; it can find absolutely moth
ing but its own rejection. And SO OF
the unIoving, the baser thought; it, too,
sees nothing but that which Is allied to
its own character. 10 see the best there
is in men we must live the best there is in
ourselves.

Do Robins Get intoxicated.

A New York sporting paper some
time since stated that the robin does
not show himself much in Southern lat
itudes until the berry of the China tree
is ripe, and then partakes Of it literally,
becomes intoxicated from the alcoholic
quality of the berry, and often falls to
the ground in an unconscious state.
The Atlanta Constitution defends the
bird against this Islander, as follows !:
Observation has convinced us that the
antics of the robins are the result OF
sl.ffocation, and not intoxication. The
conformation of the birds neck Is such
that food must pass directly across the
windpipe to reach its destination, and
in the case of a china berry this journey
is rather troublesome to the bird. The
berry lodges against the windpipe, and
the attempts to swallow it result in suf-
location. 1t is then the bud falls from
the tree, and his efforts to swallow the

Life ina Lazy Land.

Visitors to Morocco find the country
and its people marvelously strange and
fresh. Theirs ''are the rain and sun
shine and the ways Of an old wisdom by
our world forgot" Nowhere can a man
be more conscious of the mere Joy of
living; nowhere be more impressed with
the vanity and tedium of much that
European civilization considers indis-
pensabls to the interest of life. From
the hour you set foot in the country the
present moment seems so full of enjoy
ment that there is but the smallest de-
sire to project life into anticipation.
Time ceases to exist, or at least to be of
any account. It must be admitted,
however, that the disposition of every
body in this lazy, lotus-eating land, to
act on this is at times very troublesome.
You have arranged to make an excursion
to a town in the interior; you have fixed
o day for starting-after having found
that it must not be a Tuesday, for
"Tletsa, feletsa" Tor ''the third day all
fails'D; nor on Friday, for that is their
Sabbath-you have been promised
guides and mules at such time; but do
not expect them there, they will not
come. You go to the man with whom
you have made arrangements; he is pro-
badly doing nothing, and has pro-
badly nothing to say in answer to your
complaint but "Please, Allah, to NOR
row." Yet if you manage to set out ON
the third day or before the week is out,
you will have been treated fairly well.
They mean no neglect or disrespect; it
is only their "old-wOrld" way. Hence
their proverb, "Once over threshold the
journeys half done"
For travelling there are, of course,
neither carriages nor roads; the roads
so-called are only collections of mule
and camel tracks. Till within two or
three years ago there was not single
wheeled vehicle in Morocco, but now
there are known to be two-the one is
yellow antediluvian gig, which the Sui
tan has procured somehow or other, and
which figured some time ago In a State
procession, to the establishment and de-
light of the spectators; the other is
wheel-barrow which gentleman recent
ly took to Mogador, and of which the
stalwart Moor to whom it was consigned
so little surmised the use, that when he
had filed it up with mortar, according
to instructions, he promptly shouidered
it, and strobe off. Travelling on mule
back, however, in the large, well-padded
saddles of the country, with stirrups like
slippers, is no great hardship to either
mar or woman, and the way is constant
ly beguiled by some fresh illustration of
Moorish life and manners; company of
noisy country folks going to or coming
from market; troop of horsemen dash
ing past, with flowing white jelabs; the
ghosdy-looking, silent cavalcade of an
Arab Shiek of the plains and his harem,
swathed from view, all but, perhaps,
one lustrous eye; the astonished rustic
girl, who hides her face but not her legs,
or the toilsome, almost naked peasant
dwadling along behind his aboriginal
pillow. A goat and donkey may often be
seen yoked together, and woman has
been seen in the place Of the goat; but
whatever the team, the blowing is
always the same-a mere scoring OF the
soil-and yet it brings forth in abund-
ance

A dispatch from Buenos Ayres, dated
Jan. "a, says particulars have been received
there of the massacre Of the inhabitants of
Pisco by the Peruvian scldiery. Col. Mas, with
600 troops from lea, attacked Villavacentio,
routed him, and with the aid of his men pro-
ceeded to sack Pisco. A thousand pipes of wine
were distributed among the men, who burned
the houses and murdered the inhabitants. Four
hundred foreigners resisted and were cut to
pieces, 300 being killed, including the French
Consul. The total number of the victims was
1000. 1t IS said Col. Mas has since'been shot BY
Garcia Calderon's troops. Pisco river flows into
the Pacific 100 miles south of Lima, and the
town of Pisco is situated at the mouth of the
stream.
Immigrants are coming to America in
mighty droves. A New York telegram says
The arrivals at this port thus far this year show
an increase of 5000 over the number landed
in the same time last year. In Janua-
ry, 1881, the number landed was 8082.
Last month the arrivals numbered H.
242. In February, 1881, the number
landed was 9, 1853, and thus far this month the
number is 9575, and the total for the month
will probably foot up between 5000 and 1900.
Everything points to q large increase in immi-
grafton this year. 1t is probable we shall have
more than 100000 immigrants at this port this
year, which will be an increase of $4,000 over
the figures reported last year.

1t is well known fact that any per-
son of average structure and lung ca
pacitY will float securely in water if care
is taken to keep the hands and arms sub
merged and the lungs full of cir. Yet
in most cases persons who are not swim.
mers Immediately raise their hands above
their head and scream the moment they
find themselves in deep water. The
folly of such action can be impressiveIy
illustrated by means of a half-empty
bottle and couple of nails; and the
experiment should be repeated in every
household until all the members
particularly the women and children
realize that the only chance for safety
in deep water lies in keeping the hands
under and the mouth shut. Any short
necked, square-shouldered bottle will
answer, and the nails can be easily kept
in place by rubber band or q string.
First ballast the bottle with sand, so that
it will just float with the nails pointing
downward, then by turning the arms mp
ward, the bottle will either be forced I'M
der water at once or will be tipped over
so that the water will pour into the open
mouth, and down it will go. To chill
dren the experiment is very impressive
one and the moral Of it is understood.
The vital value of this precautiOn was
strikingly illustrated near Accomac G.
H., Virginia. A niece of the Hon. John
Nicely, while bathing, was swept off info
the ocean by strong current and soon
disappeared in the high breakers. AS
she could not swim her companions gave
her up for lost. Two young fishermen
who were employed some distance away
thoughtfully set out with small boat in
search of her, and when mile or more
from shore, found her floating on the
water. She had been drifting nearly an
hour and was greatly exhausted, but soon
recovered. Unable to swim she had
pluckily foated, thereby making her
rescue possible. Scientific Americon.

of the Lucas sleepiug-car, was roughly but not
dangerously handled. Five or six others were
injured by broken ribs and other painful but
not serious wounds When the boiler exploded
