The Original squeers.

The grossest injury which Dickens ever inflicted on fellow being was his too accurate portrait of an inno- cent man in his Squeers. That YH.k- shire schoolmasters were, as a rule. cruel and wicked enough it is true, but the particular schoolmaster who was recognized and who recognized him self as the original Squeers seems to have been an exception to the rule.
 It will bc remembered that Dickens end his Illustrator travelled together to the north of England for the pur- peso Of collecting material for Nick leby" and especially for the Dothe boys episode. At Great Bridge they visited Il boarding school known as Bowes academy. The master, William Shaw, received the strangers with some hauteur and did not as much as withdraw his eyes from the operation of penmaklng during the interview.
 rhiz sketched him in the act; B3z described the act. The personal pecul iarities of William Shaw were recog- nized in Squeers. Shaw became butt of popular rdicule, lost his pupils and finally died of q broken heart. Yot there is abundant evidence to prove that he was really excellent and kind hearted man, who was made to suffer for the misdeeds of his neighbors.- Literary Era.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
Tn England It Ia Withheld From
 Mnny Full FledEed Citizens

There are many full fedged English citizens who are disqualified from membership in parliament and from taking any part in parliamentary cleo tions. Thus aji peers of the realm, eX- cept those Irish peers who do not hap pen to have been elected for life to represent their order in the house of lords are barred from the exercise of franchise. So, too, are police officials, high and low. They neither have a vote nor are they eligible.
 Ineligibility to parliament extends to the Anglican clergy. to Scottish Pres byterian ministers and to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Undischarged bankrupts and those convicted of fel- ony and who have not completed their sentences and are merely freed on tickets of leave are likewise disQuali- fled from election to parliament. So, too, are young men under the age of twenty-one and persons who, having been judicially declared insane, have not been legally restored to their civic rights and privileges.
 Insanity. however, does not consti- tute any disqualification in the case of the upper house of parliament. Luna tics are permitted to take part in the divisions in the gilded chamber, and at the time when the Irish home rule bill, enacted by the house of commons, was defeated by the house of lords no less than three crazy peers were brought down to Westminster by their keepers from the insane asyums in which they were held under restraint and voted as hereditary legislators against ncme rule being granted to Erin.

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.
1t was Started With Dollar In the
 Yenr 1871.

"In the year 1S11," says II. D. Arm strong in Ainslee's Magazine, 'an anonymous citizen of New York sent n dollar to the treasury department af Washington with an avowpl that he had defrauded the government ana wanted to make restoration. A dollar meant something to Uncle Sam in those necessitous days when the coun- try verged on war with Great Britain. and it was patriotic as well as q pen itent act. The contributor was the founder of the conscience fund, and probably he died in the odor of sane tity.
 During the preceding thirty-flve years of the life of the republic no one had despoiled the government, or the New York man. indeed. seems to have been the one bemish on golden era of national virtues. for fifty years were to elapse before there was an addition to the fund
 Tn 1861. just after Sumter was fired on, the sum of SG,000 in bonds was re- ceived by the treasury department, with letter explaining that sorely tried conscience could no longer en- dure its burden of guilt. The plain in ference was that the sender. realizing the United States would need mint of money 10 carry on the war, judged 1t not to be time to defer repentance. Think of the bounty jumpers who prof ited by his contribution.
 Tt was really useful to the country in another way. The conscience fund. which had languished for want of a shining example. now became active. It has been quoted pretty steadily ever since. At the present time it amounts to more than $300.U00. Indeed, restitu' tion is getting to be the fashion, and the time may come when no one will take advantage of the government Of do so only with the laudable design uf swelling the conscience fund when any emergency coufronts Uncle Sam"

Connecticut Mythology.

Once upon a time-to be more pre- cse. in the latter part of the eighteenth eentury-thre lived n worthy Connectl- cut divine ramed the Rev. Samuel Peters. Peters was picturesque per sonage in his way. but his fame rests entirely upon the fact that he wrote a book. This is one of the most mar velous works ever issued from tlie press.
 1t was Mir Peters, for example. who first discovered and made known to the world that the founder of Yale college was Rev. Thomas eters. evidently one of his own ancestors; that at Bellows Falls the water flowed so fast that it became as hard as mar be. making it possible to float crow bar upon 1t: that two most marvellous luadrupeds. the "whappermocker'' and fhe cuba" tevldently the ancestors of tbe jabberwockl roamed wild in the Connecticut forests. and it Is also from MT. Peters that we first learn of the famous incursion of the Windham frogs.
 But it was in the early jurisprudence of Connecticut that this eXpatriate made his most interesting discoveries. He informed his English readers-and most of them believe the story de- voutly to this day-that the citizens of the state were forbidden by law to make mince pies, to play on any in- strument of music except the drum. trumpet or jewsharp. and that every male must have his hat cut round. "ac- cording to cap" the model preferabl being the hard shell of a pumpkin.-
