THE two Mugwump papers of New York
the Times and the EUening Post-haye
fallen out, and are telling the truth about
each other with remarkable frankness. The
Post says the TEmes's statements about any
important matter in, which it has an inter
est, are usually untrue and homogeneous"
and the Times says the Posts old habit of
perversion is firmly fixed, and its ignorance
is ineurable. Defective information or con-
tempt of truth form the basis of most of its
assumptions" Howcorrect each of these is
in regard to the other, all soldiers know who
have read their virulent utterances in re-
gard to pension legislation.
IT takes longer preparation and more
pow-wow in the papers for Kilrain and Sui
livan to come together for few rounds of
brutal smuggling, than it used to require to
assemble an army for campaign against
some objective point.

THE mean New York Times does not like
the Postmaster General, and it constantly
alludes to him as the "good Mr.. Wana-
maker" or the pious," "the devout," or
with some similar slur. A base hypocrite
itself, it always is on the outlook to charge
hypocrisy On someone else.

Thimble in a Gizzard.

George Gooderl, the proprietor Of a
meat market at Barnesville, Ohio, tells
this story of thimble and chicken. Some
time since his wife was engaged in
feeding the chickens, when thimble
she wore on her finger at the time mys-
teriously disappeared. Quite a time
elapsed, when the other day Mrs. g..
requested her husband to behead a
chicken, which was done. In dissecting
the fowl the missing thimble was found
firmly imbedded in the chickens gizzard,
the process of digestion having almost
worn the thimble smooth. The hole OF
the thimble was found to be completely
plugged with indigested grain which
the hen with ostrich proclivities had
swallowed. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Animal LOcOmOtIOn.

1879 instantaneous photogra.
ply has given more accurate ideas Of
animal locomotion than were held pre-
viously. In lecture on this subject
at the Royal Institution, London, Mr..
E. Muybridge illustrated by moving
pictures the interesting fact that all
quadrupeds except the camel walk in
the same manner. They support
themselves first OH tIaa3 feet and then
on three. The two may be either both
ON the same side or one ON each side.
When the former, the legs are widely
extended, the fore foot being thrown
forward and the hind-foot stretched
backward; and when the latter, the
legs are both under the belly of the
animal, the fors-foot being in back.

forward.

While our trades unions are fighting
the apprentice sytem and resorting to
strikes to discourage it, as instanced at
Bridgeport the other day, technical edu-
cation, not by apprentice system, to be
sure, but by polytechnic schools, is max
ing rapid strides in favor OF England,
The achievements of the London Charity
Commission in this direction are particu
larly deserving of notice. A good part
of the large income which this commits
sion enjoys is already devoted to the
work of maintaining polytechnic schools,
and so popular and useful have they be-
come that their scope is about to be ma
terially extended, The schools are locat,
ed in the midst of the densely populated
sections where the wage-woI kers reside.
The plans for extending the industrial
training system have gone 80 far that, as
described, 1.-TWO extensive purchases OF
real estate have been made in South
London for sites for new schools and a
third purchase is contemplated. In
North London committee appointt d
for the purpose has discovered that the
necessities of that section of the metro
polls demand four trade schools whose
establishment and maintenance would
require capital of not less than $4,000,
OO6." Moreover, it is proposed to organ
ize all the existing trade schools under
one common head, to obtain all the ad-
vantages which will result from COM
prehensive, well regulated system. This
London enterprise is an ambitious pro-
ject, exceeding in magnitude anything
of the same nature which has yet been
undertaken in the United States. Nigh!
not similar plans profitaby engage the
attention of some of our charitable or
carnations with abundant funds at their
disposal? Is there any reason why we
should be outstripped by England in this
department of education and philan-
