The influence of the eye in the dis
cipline Of children has been sufficiently
noted, but any one can convince himself
of its power by experiment and observa-
tiop. Not an angry look at all, but
steady one--an almost magnetic gaze-is
the expression required. This gives the
impression Of superior will, of latent
force held in reserve, which arrests the
attention and ultimately ensures the
submission of the most rebellious.


The animals control their young by
the eye and voice combined; no violence
is used, no reasoning, that We are aware
of, attempted, yet perfect obedience is
exacted and rendered.


A calf or lamb, few days old, on be-
ing for the first time placed by its moth
er in fence corner, among the bushes
and left hidden there while she grazes,
will coon leave its shelter and come out
either to seek its mother or to play; but
the watchful parent goes at once, with
out delay OF an instant, and leads the
little one back again, and yet again, un'
til it learns to obey. Each time that
she makes it lie down, she stands look
ing intently at it awhile. Then, pres
emily, when it has remained quiet Ions
enough, she, standing at short distance
in the field, will call gently, and the lit
tie creature Immediately leaps and run
to her side.


A hen will separate two of her chick
that are fighting, and, lowering he
head, look at the aggressor steadily un
} til he is subdued and peaceable.
1t is also very interesting to watch
} cat training her playf family, who Civ
! her but little trouble until they get thei
, eyes open. Then all wish to com
sprawling and tumbling out of thei
basket, and, as their mother has huntin


to do, she must train them to renal
, quiet during her absence, and one morn
, ing spent in teaching her babes genera
ly sufices for puss.


Now If we were wiser than the an


mails, what nation We should becom

The sea is the largest of all cemeter-
les, and its slumberers sleep without
monuments. All other graveyards show
some distinction between the great and
the small, the rich and the poor, but in
the great ocean cemetery the king and
clown, the prince and peasant are alike
undistinguished. The same waves roll
over all; the same requiem by minstrels
of the ocean is sung to their honor
Over their remains the same storms beat,
and the same sun shines, and there, un-
marked, the weak and the powerful, the
plumed and the unhonored, will sleep
on forever.

Professor P. G. TAFT, of the Universi-

He concludes that ten millions of yea re-

the physical point of view for all the
changes that have taken place on the
earth's surface since vegetable life of the
lowest known form was capable of exist

WHY THEY WANT JEFF DAVIS
RESTORED TO FULL CIrIzENsHIp.-
The House of Representatives seems
likely to devote several days to the
consideration of the question whether
or not jeff Davis shall be entitled to
appear once more at Washln -ton as
Senator Of the United States. For
that is what this long and hot discus
sioo resolves itself into. If jeff Davis
intended to speno the rest of his days
out OF the country, or in retirement.
no one would care about the removal
of his political disabilities But once
relieve him from these disabilities, and
he would very soon be sent back to
the Senate again. We de not believe
that the people of the United States
are quite prepared to see the ex-Pres-
ident of the Confederacy charged
with the authority to assist in making
the laws of the nation which he labor
ed for many years to destroy. Even
magnanimnity may be pushed too far.
No one can accuse the people of being
actuated by any vindictive feelings to-
ward the leaders of the Southern Con-
federacy, but they may reasonably
think that the head of it ought not to
be allowed is resume his seat in the
United States Senate If the line
ought to be drawn anywhere, it GER
tainly must be at Jefferson Davis

''Nobody ever repented of eating too
little,n was the sage remark of a gentleman
on the verge of ninety, next to whom the
writer had the pleasure OF sitting at din
ner the other night. The host was press
ing him to take more, and urging him in
the usual phrase, "Why. you have eaten
scarcely nothingr' Now it is to be as
sumed that the old gentleman's words in
dicated one of the byways to good health
along which he had travelled through his
long life. and 10 which he owed his pres
ent remarkably hearty condition; so it
was suggested to him interrogativcly that
he had always been a small Feeder. YES"
he answered, ''ever since was one or two
or three and twenty; up to that time
was weakly fellow enough, and / used
to make the great mistake of trying to eat
and drink all | could, in the hope of be-
coming strong. All my friends and the
doctors backed me in my error; but for
tunately | found it out in time, and
knocked of'-'as your modern slang has
it-more than half my usual amount of
food and stmuants. | gave up the idea of
making myself strong and merely strove to
make myself well, and 80 | was contented
with eating just as much as could digest
and no more. OF course It took little time
experience to discover the precise limits;
| could not adopt the golden rule Of always
leaving off with an appetite because Inever
began with one, but by persistent erring
on the right side got hold of one of the
great secrets of life-the secret of know
ing when one has enough, and after
year or two became so much better that
| used to find myself keenly ready to eat
at meal-time, and by degrees actually ac-
quired an appetite. Then, once found,
never destroyed it, but always determin-
ately rose with a feeling that should like
to eat more. Naturally the temptation for
a while grew greater as my digestion grew
stronger; but | was firm; did not be-
have ungratefully to my stomach, and i'm
mediately presume upon its increased
powers by overlooking it; did not live to
eat, but only ate to live; and behold me
/ have no need to be very particular as to
what | eat, even at my time of life; |
have only to be careful not to eat too
much" Here, indeed, is the secret of
great deal that is amiss with many of us.
We are in the habit of eating too much,
more than our digestive powers can tackle,
and that which is not assimiated is more or
less poisonous. The system becomes
overcharged, and gives any latent tenden-
CIV to disease within US every faculty for
developing itself. The questionis, not so
much what to eat as what quantity to eat;
and nothing but sharp look out kept by
ourselves upon ourselves can give us the

Nor only among the foot hills, along

WHERE IS HE.


The most desperate of the old Church
street gang, Jack Scott, better known as
New York Jack, escaped from the city cells
some time since in company with Blubber
Davis, after threatening the life Of cy-Chief
Brady. Davis was captured on Saturday
and 1t was supposed that his companion
would not be long out of the city, and a
sharp watch has been kept for him.


Yesterday the vigilence of the po-
lice was rewarded at last by a sight
of the desperate bully and thief,
but this was all, one of the officers
having just canght glimpse of him as he
passed quickly around convenient corner.
He is disguised so well that only person
very intimate could recognize him. Upon
the news of his appearance, special efforts
were made to capture him, and all of the
city was put under close surveillance.
Nothing further has as yet been seen of
him by the police and it is generally be-
licved that he has taken fight and left the
city. When seen yesterday his face was
closely shaven, and he boldly appeared in a
prominent portion of the city, and seemed
to think that he was safe from arrest.

scrape occurred this morning
about s o'clock, on the corner OF

the statements of witnesses of

occurrence, we have learned the
following particulars: The two
men had been drinking very
freely and had probal ly been up
all night. At an early hour this
morning they were in the Dolly
Warden Saloon together andtook
several drinks. They shortly
afterwards got into an alterca-
ton, in the course of which Har-
ry struck Gull with a chair and
threatened to shoot him. He
was ordered out of the saloon
and went, but returned shortly
and he and Pat went off to-geth-
er. The went up first street to-
gether, seeming to be quarrelling
and on arriving at Bean u
Whites corner they both drew
their revolvers. Pat struck the
German over the head with his
revolver, firing at the same time.
He followed 1t up by striking
him several more blows with
the revolver. They tvs men
then clinched and fell down in
the mud. Mr.. Coulter, who wit
messed the affray, in company
with Mr.. Pumphrey, rushed for

the German and Mr.. Pumphrey
secured that of Gull. Pat was
taken charge of by the Marshal
and the German was taken to

scalp wounds where he had been
struck by the pistol, and a gun
shot wound between two fin
tiers, ranging back into the hand.
His wounds were dressed and
he was taken to the calaboose.
