A Terrible Tragedy.

In a book published at Berlin, under
the title of "Shlzc and Muller in Lon
don," is the following passage: Sat
quarter to six went to the great post
office. The squeeze was tremendous
round the newspaper box, where the
newspapers are thrust in bales and it
is, indeed on grand scale, since the
Times alone has 10000 subscribers.

COMPULSORY VACCINATIoN.--An
amusing scene occurred on board the
steamer Austrian from Liverpool,
which arrived in Boston lately. A
mong the passengers were five Hun
garians. Upon the steamers arrival
at the quarantine they refused to allow
the port physician to vaccinate them
thinking that they were to be branded
or marked so that they could never re-
turn to their country. The physician
allowed the steamer to proceed up the
harbur, and when off the docks she
again stopped. The police were called
by DR.. Jarvis but the Hupgarians still
refused to allow the vaccination. The
police then transferred one of them,
after much resistance, to the quaran-
tine steamer, where the doctor vac
cinated him while the police held him
down upon the deck. The remainder
seeing what was done with the first,
quietly allowed the doctor to vaccinate
them, the passengers enjoying the
scene. The steamer was then allowed
to go to her dock. Rather rough on
Hungarian.

WHAT TO DO WITH THEN.-The
question is frequently asked, What
shall we do with our daughters? II
often seems hard one to answer, but
some writer has done it squarely and
sensibly as follows:
Teach them self-reliance. Teach
them to make bread; yes, to make
shirts. Teach them to add up bills.
Teach them not to paint or powder.
Teach them to wear a cheerful smile.
Teach them to wear thick, warm
clothes. Teach them how to make
their own clothes. Teach them that a
dollar is only one hundred cents. Teach
them how to cook good meal.
Teach them to say No, and mean it,
or Yes, and stick to it. Teach them
to regard the morals and not the money
of beauxs. Teach them to wear calico
dresses, and do it like queen. Teach
them to wear their own hair and dress
it neatly. Teach them all the myster-
les of the kitchen, the dining-room, and
the parlor. Teach them to cultivate a
garden, and to drive road-team or
farm wagon. Teach them to have
nothing to do with Incorporate or
dissolute young men. Teach them
that the more one lives beyond his
income, the nearer he gets to the poor
house.

you see, there's no telling how soou
We may move
II was the afternoon Of Tuesday,
June IA, 1864. We had been march
ing and fighting almost continually for
five weeks and more, from the Wilder
ness to Spottsylyania, over the North
Anna, in ut Cold Harbor, across the
Pamunky and over the Chickahominy
to the banks Of the James River, about
mile and half from which we were
now lying, along, dusty road. We
were sunburned, covered with dust,
and generally used up, 80 that II swim
in the river would be refreshment in.
deed.
Having learned from one of the Of
ficers that the intention evidently was
to remain where we then were until the
entire corps should come up, and that
we should probably cross the river at
or somewhere near that point, we re-
solved to risk it.
So, over corn-feld we started at
good pace. We had not gone far
when we discovered mule tied up in
clump of bushes, with rope around
his neck. And this long-eared animal, -,
somewhat gothic III his style of archi-
lecture, we decided, after a solemn
council of war, to declare contraband,
and forthwith we impressed him ipto
service, intending to return him, after
our bath, on our way back to camp
Untying Bucephalus from the bush, we
mounted, Andy in front and l on be-
hind, each armed with a switch, and
we rode along gayly enough, with our
feet dangling among the corn-stalks.
For while all went well. We fell
to talking about the direction we had
come since leaving the Pamunky; and
Andy, who was usually such an au-
thority on matters geographical and
astronomical that on the march he was
known in the company as the COM
pass confessed to me as we rode on
that he himself had been somewhat
turned about, in that march over the
Chichahominy swamp.
And as for me- said l, Il think
this is the awfullest country to get
turned about in that l ever did see.-
Why, Andy, while we were lying over
there in the road it seemed to me that
the sun was going down in the east
Fact But when l took my eanteen
and went over little ridge to the rear
to look for water for coffee, 1 found,
on looking up, that on that side of the
ridge the sun was all right. Yet when
I got back to the road and looked
around, judge of my surprise when l
found the whole thing had somehow
swung around again, and the sun was
going down in the east
whoa dar! Whoa dar! Whar
you gwine wild dat dar mule O. mine?
Whoa, Pete y
The mule stopped stock-still as we
caught sight of the black head and face
of darkey boy peering forth from the
door of a tobacco-house that we were
passing. Possibly, he was the owner
of the whole plantation now, and
the mule Pete might be his only
livestock.
Where are we going, Pompey?-
Why, we're going 'on to Richmond! -

Grand Falls and Beautiful Grottoes in q
River Of the Northwest.

For two or three miles above tho
Shoshone Falls the Snake River flows
through immense chasms, with walls on
either side hundreds Of feet high. The
river is full Of rapids for miles, the de-
scent being 80 great. AT the upper
Sh0shone Falls, known as the Twin or
Little Falls, the river is divided by an
island, and the two streams rush over u
precipice and fall into pool l75 feet be-
low. As viewed from the bluff hum
dreds Of feet above, the sight Is grand,
and from below there is still more to
admire and awe the visitor Some four
or five miles down the river we come TO
the great falls, where the entire river de-
scends in sheet 2l0 feet, Some thirty
or forty miles further down stream is
Solomon Falls, extending quite dis
lance, The greatest Of these falls is on
" twenty feet, but the forms and great
number of the falls and cascades make
it very beautiful.
But n short distance above the falls is
the most remarkable sight we have ey-
err seen. In the high bluffs along the
river there issues numerous great
springs, the waters Of which, fall over
the rocks and are dashed to silvery
streams and spray in their descent. The
first Of these pours over cliff in a semi
circular form and falls over 200 feet.
As seen from the opposite side of the
river it is very beautiful. Further down
the. river is a much grander sight. A
stream OF water equal to that OF a small
river pours out Of the bank and falls
over the rocks in silvery streams Of al
most every conceivable shape and form,
while the spaces between are lined with
green moss and shrubs, so that it pre-
sents an appearance Of an immense
grotto. $500 omaha Bee.
