ANcIENT history abounds with
accounts OF attrocous murders and
assassinations committed by men
and women who claimed that they
were bat obeying the commands OF
the Almighty. This country and
age have provided modern history
with several such cranks, notably
Guiteau and Rel. We believe it
was Madame DeStael who oXclaim-
ed, 90, Liberty, what sins have
been committed in thy name r
Well may the people Of to-day cry
out, son, God, what sins are
committed il Thy name !" We
have cranks near home, wlo do not
take life, but under pretense Of
serving God, assassinatc the char
acter of men, "thc latchets OF
whose shoes they are unworthy to
unloose."

He Looked Very Lifelike.
from the New York Herald I

From the New York Herald.
A blonde young man, with a pair OF
canary whiskers and the cast-iron
smile of patent-medicine peddler,
stood in the Eden Musee yesterday
complacently beaming upon the fig
ures, when a party ofvisitors came up.
One of them, a young lady, viewed the
statuesque onlooker with some inter
est, and he, in futter of selfsatisfac-
ton, returned her stare admiringly.
All of sudden the object of his scru-
tiny plucked an elderly companion by
the dress and blurted out Ingenious
ly:
"What funny eyes he's got! Isn't he
natural?"
In the solemn hush that succeeded
the young man with the buff whiskers
was heard to say, in voice like a
street-scraper:
"He ought, when he's alive"
At that, full Of repentance for her
mistake, the young lady precipitated
disaster.
30 pardon mel" she said, sincerely.
"Indeed- indeed-I never would have
thought it."
And then the conversation ended
abruptly, and the young lady blushed
deeply, but without awakening even a
thrill in the heart of the young man.

Monuments of Fashion.

GA Newport gentleman" writes
Margery Dean, "asked me not long since
to come to his house, where he would
show me the bones Of forty women.
Knowing him to be a. collector of all
manner of things rare and unusual, |
was only too glad to get within
his walls. But pondered long over
these "bones" so suggestive of ST..
Ursula and her virgins and the Capu-
chin monks in Rome. | went Verify
they were the bones of forty women
Dusk bones-and curious indeed
was the collection. There was
time when women tortured
themselves even more than they
do now. In those days ships
were always coming and going from
Newport, and the sailors left their
wives and sweethearts behind them
for three years voyage. Every sailor
who came home brought his sweetheart
and it is to be hoped his wife if he
had one-a bit of his handiwork while
at sea, in the shape of a Dusk bone
made from wood, ivory or walrus
tusks. These were carved and orna-
mented according to the skill and taste
of the sailor. Forty Of these have been
picked up in old Newport. On some
are tender sentiments engraved, which
must have brought bushes, and all
bear curious devices"

Amusements Next to Education.
From Good House eeping.1

From Good House keeping
In the matter of amusements, as in
all other things, there is great variety
Of opinion, and there cert ainly is room
for much honest difference in a matter
which is OF Importance to our families
next to education. If a. home is to be
made attractive to the children it
must have amusements of some kind.
They will through the day devise for
themselves many occupations which
IN younger years are almost ALWAYS
| limitations of the real life of their old
er acquaintance. The little girl has
the doll, which is very real to her, and
fortunate is she if, while she has the
interest Of the child to inspire her, she
IS taught to make its clothing and care
for its other imaginary wants In it's
mimic life, thus gaining true ideas for
future real life. The boy has desire
for a merchants life and if properly
encouraged will learn much with his
paper coins and imaginary merchan-
disc; or, if his ambition is to be me-
chanic, like his father, the mechanical
toy which may be built up and recon
structed In various forms, affords an
education in that line. But when the
day is done and the play of the chill
dren, as well as the more serious af-
fairs Of the family, are laid aside for a.
few hours, then comes the time when
all may join with profit in some gener-
al recreat on.
''But, " some may say, eve must not
encourage the young to indulge in
games and amusements- innocent in
Observation-Disclosures that will lead
them to excess, and excess even in an
innocent amusement is wicked and in
furious" There was a time when this
idea had some practical hold on the
community, but it is fast giving way
to a more intelligent view, If, indeed,
it has not already so nearly disap-
peared as to be unworthy of much at
tention. II the young person does not
find anything attractive and pleasant
at home, other resorts will be found
more congenial. If the father would
know where the boy is and what he is
doing he must be confidential with
him, know his wants, and with a
sympathy inspired by recollec-
ton of his. own boyhood join
with him In his sports, direct
ing them into pure channels. Ii
the mother wonld guide her daughter
she must keep her near her heart by
wise and confidential sympathy and
advice-aud, fortunately for the girls,
the mothers are much more sensible
in this direction then the fathers.
Alas, there is so much business to be
attended to that the wants of the boy
are forgotten by the father, and he is
left to hunt for his pleasures in I'M
known and unheeded places till it is
too late, and broken hearts are of no
avail.

Casey's MOOD"

The Chatham World has the follow
ing: When the Miramichi Valley train
was on the way down from Blackville
late on Saturday afternoon, the en-
ginedriver anxiously remarked to the
fireman as the train was near the
boom: "I wonder what kind of mood
Casey is in tonight" He looked
ahead, as he spoke, and there was
Casey, surnamed Patrick, in a very
bad mood entirely. He placed two
fence rails on the track and sat down
on them. The train was stopped and
the would-be wrecker was invited to
get off the track. He refused to do so.
1t was his land, he said, and the train
shouldn't run over it. He was re-
moved and the track cleared. But be
ran ahead and INSTRUCTED the track
again. After considerable time had
been wasted IN trying to pacify the
half-drunken crank, he was held while
the train ran past him. The engineer
says the man has often threatened to
wreck the train, and sharp lookout
is always kept on the line that runs
through his farm. A term in the peni-
tertiary seems to be what the man is
working for, and it is what he should
get for attempting, drunk or sober, to
derail train. Mr.. Casey is said to be
g. very fine man and a great friend of
the railway when, by any accident, he
happens to be sober.

"A Use For the Nose.
From the Pail Mall Gazette J

From the Pail Mall Gazette.]
The old story of how Mozart made
use OF his long nose when executing a
piece on the piano which would have
been impossible but for this way OF
making up for the want of an eleventh
finger, has often comforted people
afflicted with an olfactory organ OF
unusual length. But the full use OF
the nose has only lately been discov-
cred by community ofyoung Italians,
who claim that by the adroit pressure
of the nostrils with the thumb and
forefinger, supplemented by iudicious
breathing. the softest, sweetest meIo-
dies can be executed, and that the
Italians favorite air, ''The Delight of
Love-" is never more charming than
when executed on the nasophone, this
being the aristocratic name by which
the newborn art has been called.
Novel, indeed, and original is this mu-
steal instrument, but considering how
many people sing through their noses
already, it is doubtful whether the new
INVENTION will add to the sum of hui
man happiness.

Dennis Ryan's Investments.

The Muscular SchooImarm.
TFrom the San Francisco Bulletin 7

from Une san francisco Bulletin
A young lady schoolmistress of
sacramento County, but who halls
from Red Bluff, has no matrimonial
inclination toward her unruly pupils
of the masculine gender. She teaches
q village school in the county and
knows how to keep it in strict train
ing. She has had one chad boy" un-
der her tuition, and has, under her
corrective principle, taught him a
lesson likely to induce to his good
behavior In school from this time
henceforth. He will hereafter be as
respectful toward female as toward
male pedagogues. She appears to be
equally energetic, muscular and de-
clslve. There is no tom-foolery about
her. Big boys who have an 'inclina-
tionto play thefool areinvited to go to
some other institution of education.
She took this wild boy of thirteen
years by the nap of theneck and threw
him to the floor with such emphatic
violence as to break one of his legs be-
tween the ankle and the knee The
attention of lady teachers in our San
Francisco department is called to the
extraordinary feat. The attention Of
unruly boys is also called to what
may be the result of vicious ways.
Lady school-teachers cannot be sup
posed to be composed all of patience
This sacramento lady's exhibition of
temper was severe, but presumably ef-
fective. She is unmarried, but her
mutilated victim has parents. And
some of these days she may have a
wedding. The hardest Of hearts may
under affectionate circumstances be
softened.
