Professor Gray.
Exchange.

One of the most eminent of bota- nists, Dr. Asa Gray, died recently in Cambridge. His father was tanner in central New York, and the future scientist began active life by tending the old horse which turned the wheel that ground the bark. We know not what he turned over in his mind as. sitting upon the pole that went round and round, he now and then goaded the lazy old horse into quicker pace i; but after he had passed through a se- lect school, he studied medicine, and received the degree of M. D.
 The reading of the article "Botany" in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia caused him to abandon the practice of his pro- fession, that he might devote himself to the science of which he became one of the ablest and most philosophic teachers.
 The great botanist was kindly and helpful man. Amateur botanists. when in difficulty, found him always ready to aid them with his vast learn ing.
 The Harvard professors, and me- chanics, tradesmen, gardeners, and the printers with whom he had 80 much to do-for he published many books loved the man, for he was gentle of speech, courteous in manner, and never found fault with any one.
 A mistake was something to be corrected, but not matter for up- braiding. "We never had a sharp word from him." said a tradesman of Cambridge.
 He was severe critic. He criti- cised Agassiz to his face, and he criti- cised himself more mercilessly. The Boston Transcript tells two anecdotes illustrative of his severity toward his own errors.
 A lady, herself a botanist, showed the professor specimens of plant which differed from his description of it in his botany.
 Madam" said he, looking at the specimens, "I have never been able to make plants grow according to my descriptionsw
 One of his assistants discovered an eiioI III oiic ol tne professors early books. Taking the plant to his chief, he with trepidation pointed out the erroneous passage in his book. The doctor read it, looked at the plant, and 
 Tgnorance pure ignorance!
 It requires not only a great mind but an intense passion for the truth to be merciless to ones own errors. Few men even play the part of Brutus to the child of their brain, no matter how mt ruf hful if mav ho

New York Tribune.

At the entrance to the National Museum at Washington is 8 large stone sarcophagus, which was brought to this country some years ago from Egypt and presented to the Smith, sonian institution. The other day one of the excursionists from northern New York, entering the building, stopped to look at it. Turning to the man who cheeks umbrellas and canes, she said:
 "What is that great stone affair.""
 "That's sarcophagus, ma'am," he answered.
 "Where did it come from?"
 "From Egypt, ma'am."
 "What do they use it for2"
 "To spit in, mostly, ma'am," replied the faithful public servant.

is good thing to get, and the man who wins it by superior skill, or by an unexpected turn of Fortunes wheel, is to be congratulated. But he who escapes from the clutches of that dread monster, Consumption, and wins back health and happiness, Is far more for tunate. The chances of winning $l00,- 900 are small, but every consumptive may be absolutely sure of recovery, if he takes Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in time. For all scrofalous diseases Consumption is one of them, it is an unfailing remedy. All drug gists.

A Precious Relic,
Augusta News.

"All the money you ever handled couldn't buy that little piece of pa- per"
 With that he handed me manifold soiled scrap on which I could at first see nothing. At length I deciphered in rude, disjointed letters, the two words: "Dear Papa" He had dis covered it in the playhouse of his lit- tie daughter who died only few days ago. Some time when, in the midst of her play, her little heart had turned toward him, she had scrawled these two words, and then, having borne testimony of her love, threw the paper away.

Moments of Terror, Territorial Entarnriac.

"I was working at the Chollar in 1866," said an old timer the other night. "We were sinking the shaft with bucket, and were down over 500 feet. We had a double compart- ment shaft, all boarded up. We used to lower our timbers one at a time, and, thinking that was too slow, we bored holes in the timbers and passed chain through and then lowered sev- eral at once. This plan worked we'll until one day. There were six of us in the bottom of the shaft, and among the number was 8 tall state of Maine man, who had come to earn money to buy farm.
 "They were lowering a number of timbers and we paid no attention to them, but it seems that they caught on the side of the shaft and the cable un- rolled on them until the load was too heavy, and then down they came one after another, ripping and tearing down the boarding. We made our selves as small as we could ill that shaft, three being in it and three in the other compartment, and we thought the timbers and boards never would stop coming down. Not man moved until everything was quiet, and then we went to the other com pertinent and were pulled up. The Maine man never opened his mouth, but put on his coat and started off for Maine that night to work on farm.
 "But l want to tell you another scrape had in that shaft few days before: was being lowered on the bucket, and when about 200 feet down it caught on one side of the shaft and canted to the other side and stuck there. l gave an alarm, but was not heard, and then set about doing the best could. I balanced myself and steered the cable clear and let it go down. The great danger was ill the bucket starting as the cable gathered weight on it. But did my work so we'll it stayed there. After managed to make myself heard men came down the shaft and released me by working through the compartment"

Chivalry Gone to Seed.
Boston Globe.

It is becoming rather an interesting question how far man is bound to refrain from using force against a woman.
 In many places it seems to be fre- quent practice for women to wield the horsewhip over men, even the public places. In New York it has happened on several occasions of late that women have thus assaulted men by mistake, or for some trivial offence. In Jersey City not long ago reporter was dashed across the face with whip in the hands of young woman of un- savory reputation whose appearance before police court he had reported in the regular course of his duty. A few weeks ago married woman in New York met her husband walking on Fourteenth street with young woman. The wife pulled cowhide whip from under her cloak, lashed the man till he ran away, and then turned her attention to the young woman, whose face she lacerated in horrible manner. An innocent bystander, who ventured word of remonstrance, was treated in the same manner. Only last week young actor was severely punished by a female member of his company, who, while intoxicated, fancied herself the victim of some trivial slight.
 In each of these cases the man made no resistance whatever, being re- strained by mistaken sense of honor from using force towards a woman, even under those circumstances. But there is no ground for such senti- ment. The woman who will so far forget her womanhood as to resort to such measures has no claim upon any chivalric feeling among men. She who appeals to force has no ground of com- plaint if force be used against her.
 The man who would willingly strike woman is brute; but no man is called upon to endure passively the blows of the unsexed creatures who appeal to the horsewhip. Especially if, like the reporter and the innocent spectator who demonstrated, the man be blameless, he has 8 perfect right to use whatever force may be necessary to protect himself.
