During his explorations in tropical
America, Agassiz counted III different
kinds of wood (many of them fitted for
the finest cabinet work. growing within
the space of half a mile square. He
spoke of the blossoms as being magni6-
cent beyond Imagination.
Splendid white, yellow and red clusters
mingled with flowers of humber and
duller hue. Here were dehcately feath-
cred leaves, there were narrow ones,
yonder broad. Here again were pointed
ones, there were obtuse, further, feshy
and Iustrous foliage. In the lowlands
the forests are gloomy. Damp, cool,
odorous arches rear heavenward. Under
these there is no moss, no creeping
plants. Only mushrooms spring from the
humid soil. When the rainy season
comes on thick fogs encircle and pene
trate these forests. No bird or butterfly
comes forth. There are hoarse croakingI

cIsyeIand's Course as an Official.

Cleveland was elected governor Of
New York by a majority Of 1872, OOOl
being the largest ever given in that or
anv other State. This majority was not
composed wholly of Democratic votes;
the contest was one in which the merits
of the candidates were actively discussed,
and the remarkable ma jority accompany
ing Clevcland's election was an emphatic
expression of the confidence and respect
with which he was regarded by the
people of the State. He was largely
supported by the business men of New
York irrespective of politics, many prom
inent Republicans openly supporting him
on account of his well-known integrity
and ability. Il was the record he had
made in Buffalo as an official, his
simple eloquence Of speech and his
dignity and strength of character that
gave such extraordinary success to
his canvass. He became governor
because the people felt the need
Of such man for the place, and the re-
suits he has accomplished during his ad-
ministration plainly prove that the
popular estimate of his worth was not
mistaken, In his official acts ne has
always been prompt, decided and
straightforward, leaving no grounds
whatever for doubt as to his motives and
intentions. In many instances questions
have come before him, as governor, ex-
tremeIy difficult to decide, and involving
political prejudices. But he has never
hesitated, he has always followed the
conclusions of his own Judgment and
acted with frmness and promptitude,
never shirking a question because it
touched upon delicate grounds, but al
ways ready to state in brief, clear words
the reasons for his action. In moral
courage and infexible adherence to duty
no public character is more distinguished
than the Democratic nominee for presi-
dent.-St. Louis Republican.

Full Of Inconsistencies.

The New York Tri5unes fight for
Blaine is SO full of inconsistencies that
it is no easy matter to keep track of
them. For Instance, to read its columns
to-day it would be difficult to believe
that on March 10. 1876, the Tribune said,
in comparing Blaine and Butler: "There
is great difference between the two
men. for Butler is blackguard by
nature, while Blaine is only bully
through calculation But the Tribune
actually said this, and worse yet. On
May 81, 1876, it editorially remarked:
ssHc (Blainel is at all times partisan,
aud too much imbued with the prelu-
1ices and habits of partisanship to make
an ideal President or an ideal candidate,
aud it is true, too, as has been once or
twice said, that he has been in a cons
spicuous and influential position in Con-
gress for many years and has not urged
any measure Of reform or protested
against bad government and corrup-
administration. We doubt not that the
Tribune voiced its honest convictions in
the above quoted sentence, and the ques-
tion now suggests itself: Is Blaine less
Of bully or less of a partisan or more Of
protestor against corruption to-day
than in 1876, ot is the Tribune prosti-
tuting its better self to q bad causea
Surely there is nothing to indicate thas
Blaine is a better Blaine than he was
eight years ago. Rome tN. ID Sentinel.

WORDS or WISDOM.

\ When the sun Of virtue is set the blush
Of shame is the twilight. When that
dies all il darkness.
Moderation may be considered as a
tree, of which the root is conteutment
and the fruit repose.
Doctrines are Of use only as they are
practised; men may go to perdition with
their heads full Of truth.
I The real wealth of man is the num-
! Der Of things which he loves and blesses,
and by which he is blessed.
Idleness is the most corrupting fly that
can grow on the human mind. Men
1 learn to do i'll by doing what is next to
it-nothing.
Never contradict anybody in general
society. Rarely do it even at home. No
body likes to be contradicted, even when
contradiction is deserved
Whoever looks for d friend without i'm
perfections will never find what he seeks.
We love ourselves with all our faults, be
they few or many. small or great, and we
ought to love our friends in like manner.
Censure and criticism never hurt any
body. If false they cannot harm you.
unless you are wanting in character; and
if true, they show man his weak points,
and forewarn him against failure and
trouble.
It is when we come to rejoice in duty,
to take pleasure in sacrifice, to follow JUS
tice, mercy and truth, not only with the
firm and steady step, but with a loving
and tender clasp, that we realize the true
! vitality of righteousness.
Good fortune and bad are equally nee
essary to man to fit him to meet the con
tingencies of life. Few men who have
not experienced the vicissitudes of for
tune know how to bear them with firm
ness or are fit to meet them.

ChImss and How Iher Ars Runu.

Bells may be rung in two ways-frst,
by swinging them with rope and wheel,
and, secondly, by striking them either
upon the outside or inside with hans
mers, the bell itself being stationery. II
England the former method Of rope and
wheel was almost universally adopted,
requiring man for each bell From
this method we get that interesting and
peculiarly English kind of chime music
known as the s'changes, which gave
England the name of the Ringing
Island In Belgium, however, the sta
tionery method was used. Chimes
played in this manner were run by one
person, and were called carillons. be-
cause the italian quadriglio, or quadriIIc
" a dreary kind Of dance music. - was
the first ever played upon them. To play
upon carillons the performer used an in
strument known as the " "clavecin,r y
kind Of rough key board arranged ia
semi-tones. Each key was Connected by
wire or rope with hammer, which
struck the bell when sharp blow was
given the key with a gloved fist This
machine was necessarily extremely crude
at first, and since chimes have never been
played half SO well as in the days Of
this invention, it is all the greater won
der that the art ever progressed at all.
Recently some great masterpieces in
chime music have been found, which
were composed and played at LouFain
in the latter half Of the last century by
the most skillful and wonderful chimer
who ever lived, Matthias yer den Gheyn-
No one in Europe or America can now
be found who IS able to play this music,
which rivals in depth and subtletY Of its
composition same Of the finest works Of
Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven. Hence the
inference is that the art Of playing CARL

poets Of ever recovering the lost ground

Making a Directory.

~ tell you what it is, you or any one
who have never got up city directory,
don't know what queer ideas people
have, or how many seem to be really
above their occupation" remarked a
canvasser for the new city directory, as
he was about to make memoranda on
slip of paper. cat some Of the houses
you can't make people understand any
thing. / asked lady how many lived
at her house, when she fared up and
said it was none Of my business. She
then took the time to ventilate her mind.
she said if she did rent her rooms to a
few dodgers it was her own business, and
no one need worry about it. 4 amt
obliged to rent my rooms, she said, but
it's no harm for woman to make an
honest penny in this way if she wants
to. finally made her understand that
l only wanted to know the names Of her
dodgers to put into the directory as a
guide. She then realized that she got
hot box without cause, and apologized.
Then there is the wkitewasher. You
have to take down 'fresco artist. Just
so with nearly every business. A labor
er is contractor, saloonkeeper is a
1iqnor merchant, barber is 'tonso-
rial artist, a common sign painter wants
to be put down as an artist, the re-
porter considers journalist as the proper
word to designate his occupation. Why,
even an old junk dealer considers that
nothing short of broker would tell OF
the business he is in. Then there are
the gamblers, they want to be put down
as gentlemen of leisure The clerks
that is large number of them, want to
use some word to express their situation
iii such way as to lead people to think
they owned at least half their employers
business. The word clerk after their
name is a terrible thing. They want
salesman. confidential secretary or
something of that SOFT. I've noticed
this fact, though, that the people who
are not above their calling, who want it
put down in plain English without tie
use of high sounding words, are tie most
prosperous. They have gone into the
business with purpose to succeed, and
they'll do it, too. Yes, we meet with
all kinds of receptions. AT one place l
visited in the Third ward, they threw

was met at the door by an old lady, who
not only slammed the door in my face,
but let the dog out of the back way, and

very funny for the dog, and it wasn't 20

a Bull and a Bloodhound.

A wild Cherokee bull imprisoned in
the pen of Mr.. Shucknight was very fe-
rocious, Just come from the Indian Terri
tory The door of the pen Was left open,
and the bull made dash through it.
Two neighboring dogs ran at him, and
he charged upon them, killing one with
his sharp horns. He then made dash
for young butcher, struck him in the
side and knocked him into ditch Two
bloodhounds were procured and put in
pursuit. The bull killed one, but the
other got him by the ear and no amount
Of shaking would throw him off. He
finally ran again, with the dog still
clinging to his ear. Reaching Beargrass
he plunged into the creek and held his
head and the dog beneath the water un-
til be thought the latter was drowned.
When be was unable to hold his head
under the water any longer he brought
it up, and the dog was still there. The
bull gave up, and swan to the bank,
where he was lassoed and captured.

The audience was much amused to see the

The Free kindergarten School at No. "a
William Street.
One of the most promising of all our city
charities is the free kindergarten which is
now being carried on at GA William street.
This school is managed by three teachers,
Miss Brooks, principal. and two assistants,
Miss Clark and Miss Peck. Every day from
9 to IL in the morning about twenty-five
children between the ages of three and six
gather there, receiving the moral culture and
the discipline of mind and hand that comes
with the application of the free kindergarten
system This is a mission work, and only
those who know the surroundings from
which the children come can appreciate what
true charity it is. The present quarters
are quite small and change for the better is
hoped for by the first of next October.
Visitors are always welcomed and it is hoped
| that our citizens will avail themselves of this
opportunity of seeing the workings of sys-
/ tenn which is now attracting such general at
| tention as means of training and develop
ment for the youngest children of all classes
