A Greek Boy and the Classics.


 On our way into the delightful shadow of the more sequestered valleys we fell in with human link which brought the past, on a sudden, very near to us. It was little boy about twelve years of age, who came riding toward us, seated sideways on his donkey With his black glossy hair, his wide, merry making eyes and apple-red cheeks, he was quite picture. He wore the usual frock coat of faded blue, and the close-ftting white knee brooches, with the footIess stockings His brown feet had escaped the needless con- fnement of the low shoes of untaaned leather which gre so often shuf1ed of by the wearer when he or she enters the cottage, or has no active employment for the foot. The little fellow hailed us with volley of questions, brought his willing beast to a stand, and eioquently recommended the sim pie produce of his fathers farm to our pur- chase. He spoke in very good Greek, which he enuneiated with unusual clearness. In answer to our question he told us that he could read. It was almost unnecessary to make such an inquiry. The greater part of the children in Greece can read. We drew out pocket copy of 'fPausanias" in the ancient language and presented it to him. He opened it at the title page, and then passed on to the first and second pages, reading it aloud With Tne greatest ease, ana pr0nounclng every senteuce ''trippingly on the tongue.' We questioned him, and could plainly see that he we'll understood every word that he had read.
 This mention as only one out of the many proofs which might be adduced in order to show at how short distance the modern lies from the ancient Greek. It may also serve to show us how painful and circuitous is the route by which our academical insti- tutions try, and often try in vain, to reach the goal of Greek scholarship. Time and treasure, and an incalculable amount of in- telleotual, not to say ot physical, energy, are expended in mastering perhaps 8 few authors, with certain garnish of glosses, soholical and critical annotations, while the great continent of the language itself lies com pletely beyond the range and reach of the scholar to whom, in many instances, Greek remains, in every sense of he phrase, dead language. It is true that, with fine cere- monial instinct for critical niceties, he may follow the scribes and pharisees into all the subtleties of d certain artificial accom- plishment which passes under the name of scholarship, but as to speaking, reading at sight, writing decent piece of prose at moments notice, he is as far from a liv- ing knowledge of Greek as the jargon of the parrot is below the tongue of men or of angels.

TEE MAN FROM NOWHERE,


 Grover Cleveland once had the luck to be Mayor of Buffalo. The Buffalo Express sup ported him strongly when he was candi- date for the place, and did much 10 help elect him. But the Express has seen reason to change it's mind about him since he was it's candidate for mayor. It how says: But with the South for him as solid as it can be the Man from Nowhere cannot be reelected without the vote of the great State which he so proudly hailed from beforei And we don't see how he can expect to get that. We don't see how New York can give majority to a man who did not prize his birthright sufi- ciently to be willing to pay small tax for keeping it-who sordidly threw up his citi- zenship in the Empire State-whose aceepta- tion of the renomipation is 8 broken pledge who has betrayed reform and condoned treason-who plots with capital to ruin labor who breaches that ''public office is pulp lie trust" and treats it as his private property we do not see how the intelligent and high spirited citizens of the State of New York can allow their electoral votes to be counted for this monumental egotist and ingrate, whose coagulated sel6shness sickens friend- ship and disgusts enmity-and so we think, as we hope, that Grover Cleveland will be beaten out of sight this time. We can't name probable Republican candidate who could not carry New York against him.
 Cleveland's luck has done well for him in New York, but the Express may be right, and there are not few signs that it is, in thinking that it is about to desert him, and that he cannot carry New York again. At any rate, the Express tells some plain truth very forcibly in what it says.

 stood waiting with intense anxiety for the
 explosion which was to follow. But seconds,
 then minutes, then tens of minutes passed,
 and still no sound from the mine The sus- pense became painful, and the gloom of dis appointment oversPread the anxious faces of officers and men. The fuse had been spliced about midway. It was now thought that there was defect in the splice, and that it was at this point that the fuse was hanging fire. The day was breaking, the enemy was beoom- ing alert at sight of our unmarked co1zmns, there was not moment to be lost. Lieutsn- ant Doughty and Sergeant Rees, of the 84th Pennsylvania infantry, now volunteered to examine the fuse. They entered the long dark gallery which led to the mine and with out stopping to calculate the chance of life calmly exposed themselves to one of the most horrible forms of death. With no excite ment to lend them it's intoxication with noth- ing to divert their minds from tho fare which seemed to await them, they followed the course of the fuse through the long subterrsn
 can passage, found the defect at which the spark had been arrested, and made a new splice On their return the match was again applied, and the train was now prompt to do it's deadly work. These men display ed even a higher erder of courage than those who afterwards charged into the breach"

A German paper says that the following
 process will make plotting paper available for making copies of letters: Soak four parts | of the best clear glue in a mixture of five parts of pure water and three parts of am | monia liquor until the glue is dissolved, and 1 add three parts of granulated sugar and eight parts of glycerine, stirring the mixture well I and letting it come to the boiling point. While it is hot paint it with broad brush
 on clean white plotting paper until the latter is thoroughly soaked and 8 thin coating re- mains on the surface. Let it dry for two or three days. The writing to be copied must
 be done with ordinary aniline ink, and 10
 transfer it the plotting paper should be wet
 with sponge, and then, after it has stood for g minute or two, the latter should be pressed down softly upon the damp surface. After few moments it can be taken off and there will be an impression on the plotting paper, from which several copies can be taken, and which can be partially renewed when the impression grows faint by dampen- ing the plotting paper again.
 An invention has recently been perfected in England which promises to bring about important changes. This is an automatic device by which perfect combustion can be secured. The apparatus owes it's origin to the desire of English tea planters in Assam, India, to have made for them some device for drying tea which would not subject the latter to contamination by gas or smoke of any kind. Ordinarily, when coal wood is burned, smoke or gas are evolved from the fire, for the reason that there is not sufficient supply of oxygen furnished to enable cons bustion to thoroughly take place; hence 8 part of what would otherwise be consumed is carried off in the shape of smoke and gas. But by the device referred to the exact sup ply of air required to give the oxygen needed for perfect combustion is furnished to the fire, and while the fan pumping the air is in operation person can stand directly over bed of burning coal, and, though the heat may be intense, it is that of perfectly fresh heated air, neither causing the eyes to water nor producing the least taste to the mouth or scent to the nose

To enforce boycott against their employ CTS the brewery workmen of New York col lected $36, ,000 from laborers in the metropo- lis, only to meet a dismal failure after six weeks of effort. Nobody knows how or where the money went, but after the depart ure for Europe of the manager of the boy colt it is found that only about $3, ,000 of the total amount can be accounted for beyond the mere statement that the balance "went for aid." Many of the labor leaders can fair ly be strongly suspected of taking "aid."

Testing A tnospheric Purity


 Recent discoveries by English scientists with regard to atmospheric constituents and how to ascertain them should be of great in- terest to all. The following are three of the more important tests: The test for oarbonic acid consists in placing several two-gallon glass bottles side by side and filling them with air withdrawn from different parts of the room by means of India-rubber tubing. Into each bottle is then poured a small quantity of weak baryta water, which, acting upon the carbonic acid, gives rise to dense white precipitate of barium carbonate, easily separated by filtration and weight. The germ test is made by means of glass tube, some two feet long by three inches in diameter, lined inside with coating of transparent gelatine. A certain quantity of air is made to pass through the tube. and the germs de- posit themselves upon the gelatine, where they can live and multiply, and where they the microscope. For the detection of er- ganic matter, six large glass bottles are filled with distilled water, and are connected with each other by glass tubes. The air, made to pass through the whole series in 8 continu ous stream by means of an aspirator, com municates to the liquid all the organic ina purities with which it was charged, and with out visibly affecting its color, causes it to ! acquire disagreeable smell. This simple process recommends it to the serious consid- eratien of those who are intrusted with the care of the public health. Public buildings | and apartments, in which large bodies of persons daily congregate for business or 1 pleasure, should be provided with the neses- 1 sary and inexpensive apparatus. It might be presided over by some intelligent person l (not necessarily scientist), and its frequent use would insure the immediate detection of a noxious element, and we might thus constant ! ly maintain or restore pure air by applying such preventive or remedial agents as are well known.
 Two Kinds Of Courage. ! General Horace Porter contributes an arti- cle to the June Century on 'The Philosophy of Courage from which we quote as follows Indifference to danger is not always the l form of courage which should entitle it's pos sessor to the highest credit It is negative virtue as compared with the quality which enables one to perform dangerous duty while realizing the full measure of the peril | encountered.
 "These two traits are best illustrated by | the old story of the two soldiers whose regi- nent was charging up s hill in a desperate
 attempt to capture battery. When hali I way up, one of them turned to the other and said, Why, you're as pale as sheet; yor 1 look like ghost; believe you're afraid, Yes, I am,' wa. the answer; and ifyou wsr, ,,, half as much afraid as am you'd have TUT

There are tricks in every trade, and Troy florist has exposed some of the tricks of his trade. He says that Perle des Jardin roses are palmed of for Marechal Niels, snd that not one bride in five hundred who is de- scribed as wearing orange blossoms is so for- tunate as to have them. An orange flower wreath or bouquet would cost from $15 to $50, so the dealers take stephanotis blossoms, worth from $3 to t5, and array the unsus- pecting maiden at lesser price but greater profit. There are other similar deceptions.

Congress has just enacted that pensions heretofore or hereafter granted to widows of soldiers of the war of the rebellion shall com mence at the date of the death of their hus- bands. This legislation fayorably affects all claims of widows of the late war, which have been filed in the pension office on or after July 1. 1880, and which have been allowed to commence from the date of filing the claims; but will not favorably affect the cases of such widows as were filed before July 1, 1880, and which have been allowed, pension having already been granted in those cases from the date of their husbands death. The commissioner of pensions gives notice that in the settlement of claims. under this law, already allowed, no formal application will be req yuired and that the services of at- torneys will not be necessary. Widows en- titled under said law need only write letter, giving name,s postoffice address and certifi- cate number, and the claims will be allowed with as little delay as practicable. This leg

The invitation of the Boston Record to its readers to send their preferences for presi- dential candidates was answered by some hundreds, and the result shows that Gresham is the first choice of 42S, Blaine of 271, De- pew of e11, Sherman of 92, and so forth. For vice president 327 preferred Long and no other was the choice of any considerable number. Gresham and Long therefore seem to be the favorite ticket of the Records read CTS, and the Worcester Spy thinks that they fairly represent the Republicans of Massa- chusetts.
