A Senator 10 a Shoemaker.

A young workman Of Columbus,
Ca, recently sent Senator Brown
pair of shoes of his own making, and
received the following note of thanks:
Please accept my sincere thanks for
the present which you send me Of
pair of CATERS, suppose they are
called, made with your own hands.
You state that you are seventeen years
of age and that they are made by your
self. trust that this speaks well for
your future. If many thousand Of the
youths Of the Southern country would
engage in useful pursuits Of that and
Ike character. instead of passing
great deal of their time in idleness, as
some do, the country would be in
better condition. Always recollect
that all labor that is useful is honor
able. In whatever position a young
man is placed, if he has health, he has
it in his power, by his labor, to make
himself useful and respected; and l
delight to see the young men Of
Georgia laying aside all false pride on
this subject and going to work man
fully to make good living and make
themselves useful citizens. 1 trust
you may become distinguished in your
trade or profession, and may not only
make yourself useful to others, but
that you may be eminently successful
in building up your own fortune"

Ponpsii.

The excavation of Pompe.i was
begun in I748, and about two-ffths Of
the city have since been brought to
light, giving to the modern world a
remarkable monument Of ancient
civilization. This work has also shown
something Of the nature AMI extent oi
the catastrophe which overwhelmed
Pompeii. The destruction was not
caused by lava, but by burial in a rain
of ashes and cinders from Vesuvius.
The larger part Of the inhabitants had
time to escape, but thereis good reason
to believe that at least LOO of them
perished, 450 bodies having thus far
been found. It was happy thought

S.ranne SFnnes.

In the sand of the Ergent noun
tains at Sarepta, Asiatic Russia, are
found some curious stones. They have
round, cylindrical shaped forms and
range in size from humps smaller than
walnuts to masses Of more than four
teen inches in length and from two to
seven inches in thickness. Each of the
cylindrical stones-which are often
forded and root-like in APPEARANCES
found to contain a brown kernel with
a white spot in the center. These sin
gular formations have perplexed many
persons, including Alexander Hum
boldt, who, while declaring the stones
to be of recent date, could not explain
their origin. Alexander Becker now
believes that he can with certainty as
sert that they have been produced
around the roots of plants containing
milky juice Several such plants grow
abundantly in the white sand. The
ong roots are lacerated by insects, and
the milky fluid flows continually from
the wounds, sticking the chaIky sand
firmly around the roots. In time the
roots die and disappear, leaving in
their places white--often hollow ker-
nels, together with the brown color of
the root-cortex. The round and target
shaped stones--only few Of which have
brown kernel-may have formed
where the milky fluid ran away into
the sand.

The ordinary Mexican is not much
removed in appearance or habit from
the Indian. He has the retiring fore
head, the straight hai1, the sallow COM
plexion, the same shrewdness and cum
ming, the like aptitude in observing the
habits and movements of animals, and
Similar qnickness to take offense and
readiness to retaliatu a real or fancied
injury. He generally lacks the activity
and resolution conseientiously and
promptly to keep together roaming
cattle. but is better fitted for aazily
lying on the sunny plains. contentedly
watching the more peaceful sheep, and
on his patient companion, the burro
donkey driving the flock to their cor
raj at night. Men are won't to work
for week or fortnight, and throw up
their employment idly to spend the dol
lar they have earned. Even the better
classes, with farming lands, stock or
stores, rest satisfied with very modest
competence, and make small effort to
extend their business or resources.
Such apathy doubtless comes mainly
from long inheritance and from both
strains in their ancestry, but has also
been ingrained by the comparative IA
cility with which the bare subsistence
with which they are satisfied, is OBJ
tained, the long-continued want of op-
portunity for profitable industry, and
the absence of any market for anything
they produced. Now, however, that
railroads are bringing into their coun-
try Americans and other active, push
ing, enterprising people, and that
mining, cattle and other industries are
being developed. the Mexican, possessed
of good initiative faculties, and, al
though slow, learning to be fair
handicraftsman, is already showing
some evidences Of Improvement. He
endeayors to speak English; he is de-
sirous Of having his children educated;
he sticks more steadily to work; alittle
plain furniture is finding its way into
his house: somewhat more attention is
paid to cleanliness and to the dress of
both sexes; in the houses of the new
comers pots or boxes Of flowers are
seen, and in empty oyster tins or broken
bottles Mexican women and children
are observed growing homely plants.
The vices as well as the virtues Of the
white race are, however, unfortunately
copied.

Mr. Stephens and His Mother.


Upon stone near the spring of the
old homestead in Crawfordville, Ca,
the late Alexander II. Stephens carved
his name when boy. The spring was
his favorite resort at that age. Here"
he says. Il have often lain upon my
back snd looked up through the tops Of
the trees toward the sky and watched
the flying clouds. Ny mother I had
only heard Of from others, and when I
was very young usel to come here
aai think where she then was. I
fancisd she might Be in one Of those
passing clouds. and might know how
my heart longed for her.

There is No in This.

John Knox was a wight of wondrous might,
And his words rang high and shrill;
For bold and stout was his spirit bright,
Strong was his stalwart will.
Kings sought in vain his mind to chain,
And that giant brain to control,
But naught on plain or stormy main
Could daunt that might soul.
John would sit and sigh till morning cold
Its shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold,
And brought but pain and doubt
But light at last on his soul was cast
Away sank pain and sorrow;
His soul is gay in a fair to-day.
And looks for a bright tomorrow

Keeping Warm in The Far North.

l reached home on the 18th, the
coldest weather experienced on the
trip being on the 18th, when, about
two hours before sunrise, the ther-
mometer indicated fifty-three degrees
Fahrenheit. That day l made a
journey of twenty-five miles, riding
most of the way on the sledge, and
at no time during that day did l feel
uncomfortable, the highest the ther-
mometer reached being fifty degrees
Fahrenheit, and l might here say
that 1 really enjoyed the whole trip.
l attribute this almost wholly to the
Esquimaux reindeer clothing and
constant living in a snow igloo like
the natives, where the temperature
is never above freezing and generally
ten to fifteen degrees below that
point. / do not believe-and my
belief is confirmed by the written
accounts of others-that any arctic
voya9ers, housed in warm ships as
their base and clad in the usual
arctic suits of explorers, could stand
such journey without more or less
material discomfort. Once only did
| learn the lesson of caution. l took
off nv right mitten in attempting
to get shot at a passing reinl' eer,
the wind blowing stiffiy in my face,
ard the thermometer thirty-seven
degrees Fahrenheit, when the per-
sistent refusal of the frozen gun
lock to work perfectly kept my hand
exposed much longer than l had
intended. When | attempted to use
it again it seemed paralyzed, and
looking at it | noticed that the skin
was as white as marble Toolooah,
who was beside me, noticed it at the
same time, and with an Innuit ex-
clamation Of surprise, hastily doiiing
both his mittsns, graspel it between
his warm hands, and then held it
against his warmer body under his
coo le tab, or Es1uimaux coat. 1t
soon resumed its functions, and al
though l felt for some time as
though l was holding on to a
hornets nest. l experienced no more
serious results than a couple Of ugly
looking blisters where the iron of
the gun had come in contact with
the bare hand. The reindeer escaped.
AS the reindeer clothing is the warm
est in the arctic, so it makes the
warmest bedding, two large skins
made into a long cofin-like bag or
sack, the hair side in. being a sufi-
cient protection in The coolest weather
Wien in q properly constructed igloo.
When the first severe cold came at
North Hudson bay l was sleeping
under blanket and two fine buffalo
robes, which | found, as the ther-
mometer sank below thirty t. forty
degrees Fahrenheit, to be inadequate
to secure comfort, until 1 procured a
reindeer sleeping weighing not
half as much, after which cold night
were no longer dreaded. The robe ot
the American bison seems under thu
least provocation to become damp,
and then freezes as stiff as piec,
of sole-leather. Once spoiled in, this
manner, it is difficult to dry it and
restore it to its former pliability in
the low temperature of an igloo
The furs of the beaver and muskrat
l found to lie equally unsuitable in
our mode Of life, and | believe that
all the other furs of the temperate
zone would have shared the sami
opinion if tested in the same practi
cal way.-Ljeatfe11a71t Schpatka.

Rev DR.. Deems, Of New York city,
in an article in the North american
Rsriev on "street-Begging," says:
street-beggars play on the feelings
OF tho e who are kindly disposed, and
they understand the art Of approaching
good people on "the blind side" They
forra a fraternity bound together by
certain ties of mutual helpfuIness in
their business and by certain signs
which enable them to cooperate. If
these men applied the same abilities
with the same industry to lawful pur-
suits, they would make a legitimate
livelihood. But they viii not work.
Nevertheless, they base their appeals
usually on the ground that they cannot
get work. They find you when they
believe YOU have no employment for
them, a I'd then-"if they could only
get work :" They know what will
pass in your mind, and that finally you
will give them money because you can
not give them work. and cannot bear
to turn away fellow man who is
hungry. and who does not seem to have
the means Of winning bread. But if
you viii make some little contrivance
in your house, which, while it is wholly
unproductiye, seems to have the
semblance Of work, and offer these
men pay, yon will soon discover the
real state Of tile case.
A number of examples of this kind
are known, but only two will be given,
and the reader may be sure that they
are perfectly authentic. A gentleman
Of high character and great generosity,
who has large manufacturing estab-
lishment in the city Of New York,
conducted his business where it was
very easy of access to beggars. They
so interfered with his work and
wrought upon his feelings that he had
recourse to the test Of giving the ap-
plicants apparent employment. On
the floor on which was his counting
room he had a pump erected, in full
view of his desk. He did not need the
pump. The water which was drawn
ran off unused but still it was some
work to draw the water. As each
beggar came, and was told he should
work for his living, his pathetic reply
was to the effect of, "Oh if I could
only find work" The pump was
Immediately proffered, and pay at a
rate which would procure a nights
lodging for an hours work. He was
told he could have that work every
day until he found other employment.
The suffering applicant was much
obliged, but in one case he had a lame
hand, and in another he had friend
at the door whom he must dismiss, 50
that he should not be kept waiting
during the hour; but it seemed to take
all the rest of the day to dismiss the
"friend as the applicant never came
back. In other cases there were other
excuses and the upshot of the expert
ment was that, while few accepted
an hours work at good pay, there was
only one man who returned the second
morning, and he never came back
again.

ALudi.rous Mistake.

A Scotch minister, forgetting his
spectacles. could not read the hymn, SO
he said: Ny eyes are dim; cannot
see" The precentor Immediately sang:
"My eyes are deem; 1 caw-noot see. :"
The minister explained: II spoke Of
my inhrmity." This was sung as the
second line. Theminister pleaded: l
merely said my eyes were dim." These
words were sung, and he sat down, say
ing: II did not mean to sing a hymn
When this line was sung the services
closed.
