Human Leather.

An officer OF the marine infantry, VIII,
commanded the penitcntiary OF St. Mary
a III Comtc.in New French Guiana, lately
died OF diseases contracted ut that insa-
luxurious station, The inventory Of the
objects he left behind him comprised a
very curious cuirass, with straps and other
accessories. On examination it proved
to be of human skin. A convict lad
died whose breast was covered with cx-
trcmcly beautiful tattooing. The COM
mandant of the station knew this, and
had the man ilayed before he was buried.
For moment it was thought that this
human relic would have been put up for
auction with the officers other effects,
but, fortunately, it occurred TO somebody
that it was rather too disgusting. 1t was
known that the officer had worn the
cuirass several times when fencing VII,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A lie is black even if it is white lie.
The post of homo, is the post of duty.
al can't" is Il humbug and anuisance.
Wishes at least are the easy pleasures
of the poor.
You believe that easily which You hopc
for earnestly.
When you assist the needy don't do it
ostentatiously.
Don't say II am gcntlcman;" it is
never necessary.
BE loyal to death to those who have
befriendcd you.
The only disadvantage of an honest
heart is credulity.
When there is room in the heart there
is room i'll the house.
People who are disposed to complain
never find lack of subjects.
Charity and personal force are the only
investments worth anything.
II You should escape the ccnsurc Of
others, hope not 10 escape your own.
1t is right to be con,cnted with what
we have, but never with what we are.
Without content, we shall find ii al.
most us difficult to please Others rs our.
selves.
The covctous man pines in plenty, like
Tanialns up TO the chin i'll to water, and

Violent zeal for truth has II hundred to

Most people would succeed in small

In matters of conscience first Thoughts

He who receives good turn should
never forget it; he who does one should
never remember it.
Beauty is always precious, but after all

Angling fnr Wild Cat.

As Mr.. Ii. Montrcuil was padding his
pircguc to the mouth of Chef NIcnteur
and Lake Borgne,' La. where he was fishing
for green trout, IL few days ago, he saw
what he took to be young deer swim
ming, not far away, i'll the water. He
Immediately gave chase, but on nearing
the animal he found it to be u large wild
cat. The bold fisherman took his rod
and made n cast at the wild cat. His
first casts were unsuccessful, but Mt last
lie hooked him under the thigh. when
making fast his pole he began padding
as hard as he could in order to pull the
wild cat under water and drown him.
Finding himself hooked the wild cat
turned to attack the piroguc and its oc-
cupant, but the latter, by padding Wig
orously, kept pulling him tail foremost
and in this way, after protractcd strug.
gle, in which he was nearly worn out,
Mr.. Montrcuil succeeded in drowning
the wild cat; and he subsequently landed
him safely. His spoils for the day con-
sisted of fourteen green trout and one
wild cat.-Ifmes- Democrat.

dcinic prevailed, and the means which
were employed 10 put an end to them.
When Napoleon was in camp at Bou.
lognc, 1T was found that soldier com.
mittcd suicide every night in his sentry
box. Napoleon ordered the sentry boxes
to be burned, and the suicide ceased.
Again many years later II suicide oc.
cured in II certain regiment every day.
The Colonel accordingly published Nh
order OF the day in which he set forth
that the suicide OF soldier is an act of
cowardcc and dcsertion, and closed in
these words: 'lIcnccforward every man
who commits suicide shall be condemned to
military degradation and DEATH Thence
forward we are told that suicides in that
regiment became Il thing OF the past.
On the ground, which is perhaps not
entirely certain, that suicide is invariably
an act of insanity, and on the Ground,
which is not certain Mt all, tina, brutcs are

tained that the lower animals never com
init suicide. The contrary, however, ap-
pears TO be proved by actual cases of self
destruction committed by brutes. Re

was II monkey which had been trained TO

and of which Two charges had been

there, only running out from time TO

cational course. The dormitory will be
situated about II Thousand feet from the
other buildings. II will be Pa 10y 1lj,
four stories high, presenting Il very I'M
posing structure. The material used is
San Jose stone. The building will accom-
he rs by 26, and double rooms % by 2G.
Altogether there will he from one hun
dred and twenty-five To one hundred and
fifty rooms. There will he only one dining
room for the two hundred students, anil
this will occupy the central portion of the
lower floor. The kitchen, laundrics, etc,
are i'll the basement; but, rs the dining
room is raised considerably above The
floor on Which it is situated, there will be
plenty Of light and air afforded for the

be heated by steam and lighted by cleo
tricity from one central station placed in
the rear of the quadrangle. The uni
vcrsi!y will not resemble any Of the Eastern
universities 10 any great extent. All the
