The following little story is told at the

ious in regard to the prevention of small

enforces the rule that whenever a case
of sickness is reported in the family OF
any one of her pupils, the pupil must
hiring certificate from the family ply
sician stating that the disease is not
contagious, failing in which the pupil
must remain away until all danger is
over. A few days ago she was informed
that one of her pupils, a little girl Of
Teutouic extraction, had sickness in her
family. On being questioned, the girl
admitted that "she had sick at her
house," that her mother was sick, and
that she had marks on her face. She
was accordingly sent home. She re-
turned in a few days. however, and re-
ported that her father was sick" She
was again sent home, with orders not to
come again without a certificate from
the family physician. The next day she
returned to the school, and shyly siding
up to the teacher, with her finger in her
mouth. and the little bonnet swinging
by the strings, she said: Miss =,
we've got a leetle baby at our house,
but mother told me to tell YOU it isn't

glad il wasn't catching, and told her
pupil to take her seat.

David tells us that he was hasty
in asserting that all men are liars;
but he might have said deliberately
observes the Saturday Reoieac) that
most men are either liars or the
unconscious accomplices Of liars.
The quantity of sheer unmixed ly-
ing which exists in this world is,
we suspect, greatly under-cstimated
by most people; and Of the quantity
Of false statement which is not
quite lying, because it begins by
self-deception, few persons have
even a faint conception. The rea-
son of this seems to be simple
enough. For practical purposes we
are obliged to assume that people
speak the truth. A certain quantity
Of mutual trust is necessary in order
to carry on the business oflife; and
we naturally make the mistake of
contounding provisional assump-
ton, which, for ordinary purposes,
is accurate enough with statement
of actual facts, and then apply it to
cases where it is more frequently
falsiiicd than verified. We infer
from the practical necessity trust
ing people in trifies that they are
always trustworthy even in serious
matters; and thus we exaggerate
beyond all bounds the weight
which should properly be attached
to a simple unsupported assertion.
If a respectable person, that is to
say, man in a black coat who has
not been convicted of picking pock-
cts, tells us the widest story of
ghosts or rapping tables, the-one hy-
pothesis which the ordinary mind
altogether refuses to admit is the
surely not inconceiyablc one that he
is liar and cheat 1t is thought
to be almost paradoxlcal to assert
that any one, outside ofthe criminal
classes, is ever guilty of downright
falschood. The weakness is cor-
tainly amiablc; and yet it may fairly
be doubted, whether capacity to
tell the truth is not rs rare as the
habit Of uncquivocally lying.

New York has wonderful endurance.
Richer and greater by far than any other
American city, she tolerates as her principal
market place an old, crowded, struggling.
inconvenient, dark, unventilated, undraincd,
tumble-down wooden structure. Of which Q
town of fifty thousand inhabitants would be
ashamed Surrounded by narrow streets, its
combustible materials, likely at any minute
TO take fire, are q constant menace to the tall
stores which on three sides overlook il, and if
once confagration got Roadway there its
rapid spread would be almost inevitable.
Recent experience tells our citizens that even
in New York it is possible TO construct mar
ket houses which shall please the eye, and to
so conduct the sale of meats, fish, vegetables,
game and poultry as not to offend the nose.
Therefore there is constantly increasing cry
for the reformation or abolition Of the chronic
denominations of Washington Market One of
the first requisites for q market is perfect
drainage. This on the present site is not easy
to secure 1t has been suggested that the
city could provide for the immense market
business of this neighborhood far better ac
commodation by building out into tho river
upon suitable piers wide, .well-constructed
market house, to which there could be inme-
diate communication by steamboats,. and in
which there should be no excuse for lack Of
the most absolute cleanliness, as the wash
would escape directly into the river. Thus
we might have public market worthy of the
metropolis, and valuable square of ground
would be gained for business. Has not Now

to abate the nuisance?

A Georgia paper tells a good story of
one of the candidates for County Sher-
iff in that State. The candidate, a
physician, lately stopped to talk with
a man, who with his two daughters
was pulling fodder, and the doctor, in
order to keep alongside of him, com.
menced pulling the fodder in the
row he was walking in. When he
got fairly settled down to it, the farmer
says: FExcuse me minute while
step oyer to the house--you
just knock along with the girls
here" and he left. At this the
girls just made the fodder fly, going
down the rows IN double-quick time.
The doctor manfully went in, hand over
hand, shucked his coat and did his
level best. He painted, he sweated,
and yet he showed along under the
broiling sun while the farmer was in
his piazza with his pipe lit, taking it
cool, and laughing IN his sleeves. IN
about an hour he went out to the field
and released the doctor. They say the
doctor never limited "Sheriff to him,
but jerked up his coat and left; and
now he don't go in fodder fields for
votes--he lodges 'em.

The Portland, Or, Evening Bulletin
Of August 29th describes the passing of
a passenger train, on the evening Of Au-
gust 9th, through burning canyon
north of Oakland, on the Oregon and
California railroad. The fire had enter
ed the canyon and attacked the trees on
either side of the track several days be-
fore, and the Bulletin says that at times
the flames would leap from one side of
the track to the other, while the entire
canyon looked more like a roaring fur
mace than the road bed of a railroad. -
Many of the srees would fall across the
track, and it required the most strenuous
exertions on the part of those employed
to keep the track free. The train en-
tered the canyon during temporary lull
in the fury of the fire. If the track had
been known to be clear of all obstruc-
tions the engineer could have put his
iron horse to its utmost speed, and dash
ing forward, gotten through in few mo-
ments: but the very fact that trees were
falling every minute rendered it necessa-
ry for him to proceed with caution. He
pushed into the fiery furnace, and had
barely entered the canyon when the
flames, famed by the breeze commenced
to quicken and closed up behind him.
Slowly the train moved along, while the
angry flames followed fast and furious,
until at last the outcome was reached and
all danger was passed. Twenty minutes
later the entire canyon was one sheet of
flame, and the road bed, with its bars of
iron, resembled a huge gridiron.

The operation of raising the oysters


from the Princes Bay and other beds in


summer is interesting. In winter they


can lie long time IN vessels without de-


triment, but in hot weather they must be


taken to the consumer rs quick rs posi-


BILE after leaving the water. In former


times much Inconvenience was experience
ed by Staten Islanders in getting their


vessels loaded in time on summer morn


ings. They would have to begin at mid


night to suit the tides, because one pecul


iarity of the delivery of oysters is that


they should lie on hard, clean surface


under water during one shifting OF the
tide to clear themselves of mud From
this substance of course they obtain a
part of their food, and when first raked
from the bottom they have much of it
within their shells. Ii left few hours
on clean, hard sui'qce under water,
where they can draw in only water, they
clean themselves, and thus present no
unpleasant morsel of mud to the consum
er. The custom was formerly to put
them on a sandy beach, or if that could
not be had, a hard mud or soft meadow
bottom, where the high tide would over
flow them. The fishermen were often
much put out waiting for those high
tides, shifting little as they do every
day. Finally a man named Thompson,
who is still large dealer, invented a
remedy for the difficulty; he built the
first oyster-hoat These receptacles
might be called "oyster bathing houses"
They are seventy five feet long by twenty
two feet wide, and hold from five to nine
hundred bushels. They are made of logs
and plank, the latter half an inch apart,
to permit free passage of water. These
affairs save time and labor and greatly
equalize the work. For in the warmest
" weather even the oysters which are laid
On them from four to twelve inches deep
