The discrimination of the regents against

is completed, when the Commission will lay
before Congress a report, in which the rela-
tive qualifications of the competitors are to be
exhibited by grades. We trust the Commission
is proof against the destinations of sex and the
cajoleres Of art.

circles, who sparkle on the crest Of Murray
hill, tell with many smirk, the story of
widow who the day on which her husba nd
was buried, engaged herself to young man
who has for some seasons shown her more
marked than discreet attentions. This is
only equalled by that of the New York mer-
chant who, coming home from Europe with
the body of his deceased wife on the steamer,
engaged himself to a lady passenger. He
married her in less than year, and now she,
too, is what they call "a.young and attractive

comes Of another one in which the brilliant

Of the principals, and d. B. Sheahan, of New
York, is the other, in which one of the par
ties received a wound. This report lacks
confirmation, but there evidently is trouble
ahead between the parties, and in the light of
past events, and the adverse criticism of the
public and the press, regarding the Virginia
editors, it is an open question if these latter
parties can get the satisfaction" they de-
mand, and seem to think they must have.

Dealing in Riddles.

Charles Reade tells one tale of the
romance of fddle-dealing which is
charming. There was certain precious
violoncello at Madrid. It was a gen
uine Stradivarius. The local maker,
one Ortega, had put in a new belly
and sold it, keeping the old belly in his
shop. II. Chanot, " the best Judge of
violins left, now Tarisio is gone, ;"
lighted upon the old belly and bought
it. TarisiO then discovered it and
pestered Chanot till he sold it for /. 900
francs, and told him where the remand
err was to be found. The owner was
persuaded to part with It for 1000
francs, and Tarisio started exultant for
Paris with the Spanish bass IN a case.
He never left it out of his sight. The
pair We're caught by a storm in the Bay
of Biscay. The ship rolled; Tarisio
clasped his lass tight, and trembled.
1T was terrible gale, and for one whole
day they We're III real danger. Tarisio
spoke Of it TO me with 9 shUdder. I
VIII give you his real words, for they
struck me at the time, and I have often
thought Of them since: ''Ah, my poor
Mr.. Reade, the bass of Spain was aIl
bCt lost" Was not this true connois-
seur? Agenuine enthusiast? Observe!
There was also an ephemeral insect
called Luigi Tarisio, who would have
gone down with the bass, but that made
no impression on his mind De mini
mis- non curat Ludovicus. He got it
safe to Paris. A certain high priest in
these mysteries, called Vuillaume, with
the help Of n sacred vessel, called the
gluepot, soon rewedded the bacl, and
sides to the belly, and the bass, being
now just what it was when the ruffian
Ortega put his finger il the pie, was
sold for 10000 francs (eS00). saw
the Spanish bass in Paris twenty
two years ago, and you can see it at any

A BeggSr'S RUSe.

\ man OF genius, but somewhat seedy

months, and after the usual greetings
the conversation, by mutual consent,
dropped into matters literature and
philosophy.

visitor, heres good thing from En-
erson. You know, when a good thing
strikes me, I iot it down. Il exactly
fits my case in the present instance"
Taking a scrap paper from his
pocket: he read. q

vou apologize for not having visited
him. and waste your time and deface
your own act? Visit him now. Let
I'm feel that the highest love has come
to see him in thee-its lowest organ. Or
why need you torment yourself and

YOU have not assisted him or compG-

Shine with real light and not with the
borrowed reflection of gifts. Common
men are apologists for men; they bow
the head, excuse themselves with pro-
liz reasons, and accumulate appearances

How keen, how philosophic, how
truep exclaimed the visited.
"The genius Of truth" added the
visitor
Then, buttoning his coat, he arose
and prepared to go. AS he approached
the door he turned back, and, with a
nonchalant air, remarked

Rules for Coed Conduct.

Here are ten rules that every pupil
should remember. It would be well
for the teacher to write them upon the
blackboard that all may be able to
keep them In mind and practice them
1. Shut every door without slam
ming.
2. Walk about the school-room, in
the halls and up and down stairs qui-
city.
8. Speak in low tone of voice in the
school-roOm.
4. Always speak in kind and polite
manner to y0ur teacher and school
mates.
5. If your teacher tells you to do
anything, do it promptly and cheer
fully.
6. Never tattlo.
7. Carefully clean the mud and snow
from your boots before entering the
schOol-roOm.
s. Be punctual and industrious.
9. Never come to school with your
ha:r or dress in disorder, or with soiled
boots or hands.
10. Always be as quiet and polite in
the scnool-room as you would be Ii the

John e. Calhoun,

Mr. Calhoun spoke like Q college
professor demonstrating to his class
His position was stationary, and he
used no gesticulation. His pale and
Iivid countenance Indicated the cloister.
His voice was silvery and attractive, but
very earnest. His eyes indicated quick
perception. Starting with the most
plausible premises, he would carry YOU
irresistibly along with more plausible
reasoning until you would be puzzled
to know how much back-track it was
indispensably necessary for you to take
to avoid conclusions which would make
it difficult to tell the difference between
your views and those of a South Carolina
SecessioniSt. After having heard all
the Senators speak, if a stranger should
select, the one, irrespective Of doctrine,
who came nearest a saint, he would
select Mr.. Calhoun, and such he is held
to be through most of the South to this
day. College professors in the South
were his great admirers, and taught his
doctrines to their students. Educated
clergymen and all fashionable society
there lost no opportunities of manifest
ing their admiration of him. "Have You
seen Mr.. Calhoun" do you think of
leaving without seeing Mr.. Calhoun ?"
were questions invariably asked by
Southern Congressman of their con-
stituents visiting Washington. And Mr..
Calhoun's prestige was so worked up that
Southern visitors, both gentlemen
and ladies, were as much expected to
call upon him as upon the President.
AT She time OF his death he was gaining
a strong foothold among the scholars of
the North, who seemed incapable of re-
sistirG the seductive reasoning OF his
perceptive, comprehensive and analytic
mind. Senator John P. Hale, of New
Hampshire, once came to my seat and
said: I am going to astonish you. Mr.
Calhoun has Just brought me letter,
which he said he had just received from
President Nathan Lord, of Dartmouth
College, and asked me a great many
questions about him and the college. He
left me, asserting that President Lord
was one of the ablest thinkers and pro-
foundest reasoners in the country"
At that time President Lord WAS not
only the head of the college, but of the
Congregational denomination In New
England. With bravery worthy OF a
better cause, he followed Mr.. Cal
houn's doctrines to their natural Sc
quence, and he had to give up his posi-
ton. No man ever eXerted the infiu-
ence upon this country that Mr. Cal
houn did. All the calamities of the. late
war were the legitimate outgrowth OF
doctrines of which he was the father,
and to which the sincerity of his devo-
ton was manifested by his advocacy OF
them in his dying hour. = Renli1llS-

Wet days, that the ticket of-leavers who
went into trade were much more

the objects of jealous notice, and that

You so?7 Looking at the heavy per-
eentage of these men who become ex-
emplary citizens and fathers OF worthy

greet that the system had to be
abandoned. The convict in England to-

sus, Was 400 feet to the support of the
roof. It was 100 years in building.
The largest Of the pyramids is 481 fee:

The base covers eleven acres. The
stones are about sixty feet IN length,
and the layers are 20S. It employed
