Give your daughters a thorough educa-
ton. Teach them to cook and prepare
the food of the household. Teach them
to wash, to iron, to darn stockings, to sew
on buttons, to make their own dresses.
Teach them to make bread, and that
good kitchen lessons the doctors ac-
count. Teach them that he only lays
up money whose expenses are less than
his income, and that all grow poor
who have to spend more than they
receive. Teach them that calico dress
paid for fits better than a silken one I'M
paid for. Teach them that full,
healthy face displays greater lustre than
fifty consumptive beauties. Teach them
to purchase and see that the account cor
responds with the purchase. Teach them
good common sense, self-trust, self-help
and industry. Teach them that an hon-
est mechanic in his working dress is a
better object Of esteem than dozen
naughty, finely dressed idlers. Teach
them gardening and the pleasures of ma
ture. Teach them if you can afford it,
music, painting, ETC., but consider them
as secondary objects only. Teach them
that walk is more salutary than ride in
carriage. Teach them to reject with
disdain all appearances, and to use only

Bishep Potter's Pluck.
omaha Special.

Hon. James NJ. WooIwOrth, Chancellor
of the Episcopal Diocese OF Nebraska, re-
lates an interesting sequel to the modern
Mazeppa romance published in the Globe
Democrats Omaha dispatch s about June
II. President Potter, of Hobart College.
n. Y, who had just been elected Bishop
of Nebraska, was making tour of the
cattle country in August, in company
with Woodwork. AT Paxton Branch, on
the Ogallala Land and Cattle Company's
range, they heard that Wilson, the man
that tied Burbank on the brOnchO's back
and turned him adrift on the prairies,
bad been caught and was held prisoner
at Blue Creek ranch, sixty miles distant.
Bishop Potter drove over there the next
day and learned that Wilson was to be
killed at shutdown. The Bishop implOred
the two cowboys who were guarding the
prisoner to release him, but they were re-
lentless. After pleading and praying
with them for long time DR.. Potter con-
cluded they were past such influence and
wound up by giving them both a thrash
ing. This done he unbound Wilson, who
saddled pony and escaped. The affair
made the Bishop hero among the ranch
men and he was induced to write adetailed
account of the rescue to his friends in the
East.

RAT-HUNT NC IN PARIS.
The Biggest Rat K ling Since the siee

The Biggest Rat K ling Since the Siege.
Some excellent S, )rt has been afforded
during the last few Gays in the very heart
of the French capital, says the London
Globe, without one in a thousand of the
inhabitants being in the least aware of
what was gong on. 1t appears that
since the siege, when rats flesh was at q
premium and the rodents were nearly ex-
terminated in the crusade carried on
against them, these animals increased
prOdlgiOusly, until the great drains which
run beneath the streets of Paris, had
begun to swarm with them. So numerous
and bold had the brutes become, that it
was not uncommon of an evening to see
them appearing at the mouth of the peep
holes leading down to these sewers. and
scampering about over the roadway,
thence doubtless making their way into
many cellar or house, where a better
living was TO be had than in the Stygian
regions below. Accordingly, the munich
pal authorities, upon whom the care Of
the sewers deyolye, resolved upon a
chase enregle. A good deal Of skill was
displayed in planning the campaign,
which was evidently organized by an ex-
perienced sportsman. In the first place,
a pack of no less than 100 rafting dogs
was cOllected-terriers Of all sorts and
sizes, and a whole host of those strange
ours in which Paris abounds They were
taken down to a spot just below where
one Of the nam drains is joined by a num-
Der of aff1uents, but here they were held
carefully back till the critical moment
had arrived. Then a grating was placed
across the sewer so as to intercept the
rats on their way down, and at the same
time whole army of drainmen was sent
up into the upper passages to act as
heaters. As the unearthy sounds Of these
men echoed along the vaults, the rats
began to come down in their regiments,
seampering, swimming, and diving along
the passages as best they could. The
grating formed an effectual barrier, and
then the pack was let loose, imparting a
new and much more hideous element Of
noise and death into this subterranean
pandemOnium.

HAVANA, June 20.-Captain-General Castillo Is
about to send to New-York by the next steamer one
of the five commissioners who came here from
Madrid a fortnight ago. He is prom ped to do TINS
by the reception of dispatches from the Spanish
Minister at Washington and the Spanish Consul at
New-York. These men have apparently been
alarmed by the nomination of Mr. Blaine and es-
pecially by the statement of Mr.. W cker, OF Key
West. who is said to have declared that he had II
from BaIne's own mouth that Cuba was worth
$500 600 600 to the United states. They say III

absolutely in favor of making the purchase OF or
annexing Cuba an event for which they believe
the Canovas Government ls prepared, but from
which they would like to see HIM get the greatest
possible benefit; for they say the Americans VIII
not find the price too high.
The Minister adds that after the failure OF the lu-

bera, it will be difficult to make the Government AT
Washington take any action against the CUBAN
conspirators The Captan-Geueral therefore sends
