THE COLISEUM BUILDING A view of the Coliseum at Boston, when filled with Q vast audience is really an inspiring sight, correspondent says: The orches- tra of 2,0O0 men in the center of what may in merely indictve way be de- nominated the stage behind them and on either side a great anphitheater, up on which are ranged the twenty thou sand choristers in front of these level field of faces, so wide and long that per sons are dwarfed in the distance; while high overhead floats myriad of banners and pennants of infinite variety of con- ception. Taken altogether it is sight which must endure in the remembrance forever. While we are viewing it with admiration and wonder there rlses upon the air the finest soundof music-a sweet strain from the violins. In an instant, with the exception of the unceasing trampling of feet in the corridors, the vast audience is hushed. Higher and higher swells the volume of harmony as one division after another of the gigantic chorus joins in, until at length all together chorus, orchestra, and great organ are pealing forth very ocean of sound. Still it does not seem to overwhelm the auditor as one would expect. The build ing is so enormous that the effect seems almost like that of music in the open air. Strangely enough at the same time the most delicate movements are not lost.

THE Sp1DER.-The spiders maternal instincts and affection are so strong as to lead her to guard her nest of eggs or of young, even to the sacrifice of her own life. The nest-a little globular silken bag-contains from sixty to several hundred of her progeny, which, after they have left it in some cases, are car ried about by ths mother on her body until they are old enough to provide for their own safety-about fifteen days from the time they are matched. There is generally one brood in 8 year. The en- bryos are developed after the deposition of the eggs, which are spheroidal, and are matched sometimes in few weeks, and at others not until the following spring.

 I"How," you ask, " is the little sac filled to its utmost capacity and at the same time sealed p In this wise: the spider weaves from silk one-half of her nest, fashioning it with her body, as 6 hen forms hers she then lays her eggs in this cup, not until it is full only but until it is twice full, or heaped as high above the rim as the depth of the cup finally she weaves web over this accu. ! mutation and seals it up. When the brood is matched she pierces 0 single hole in the top of the nest, and the spider chicks take shelter upon her body, as they emerge, and are carried about by her until large enough to provide fol themselves.

A watch is a most delicate machine, and very little thing is enough to damage it's system, and make it go too fast or too slow, or to arrest the motion of it's wheels, and it is just that very little thing that you don't take any notice of. Show us your watch, and we'll tell you what are the habits of it's owner. A person of ir- regular habits will spoil the best watch in the world. Careless and inexact people will always have watches that will go fast or slow-or that go both too fast and slow by turns. If you can't be steady and regular in your habits, you need not expect to have watch that you can rely on.

 All the best watcb-makers in the world will be unable to give your watch that re- gularity which is lacking in yourself, and which you cannot, therefore, preserve in your watch, and which you destroy as fast as the watch is regulated. For a watch should be wound up every day at the same hour, and as soon as possible ill the morning. And the best occasion for doing this is7when the minute-hand marks seven or ten minutes after the hour-hand has marked the hour.

 The operation of winding up 8 watch should never be performed carelessly or roughly; but, on the contrary. with great precaution, especially at the moment when you give the final turn to the key Then you should gently moderate the movement, so as not to wind the watch up too tight. You should always take good care to fit the key perfectly into the key-hole before commencing. It is not { good plan to carry the key about witt you, unless it is kept in case; and never carry it loose in your pocket, as it is liable to get dust into It, which you will intro duce into the watch, from time to time in winding it up, to its great detriment Never, under any circumstances bu those of extreme necessity, open the in terior compartm ment-that which contains the machinery of the watch. In winding up the watch, the hand which holds i should remain perfectly steady and with out motion. The hands may be advanced or set back, when necessary, withou any harm being done to the watch although contrary to the popular notiol on the subject.

 The difference of temperature, or tn habit some have of carrying the watcl about the person for period, and agail leaving it motionless for great length 0 time on some piece of furniture, ma, cause slight irregularity in the bes watch.

 Whether the hands are advanced or SC back, we should never touch the regu lator, as long as the defect is trifing. The crystal case of the watch shoul' never be opened, except by the watcl , maker.

 f By keeping these rules in mind, an putting them in practice, people woul have less trouble with their watches, an far less need of the services of watch

If the power which the editorial pro- fession w1elds be understood, says an editor before the Wisconsin Editorial Association, it becomes all and each of us to bear in mind that we have no right to use it thoughtlessly or recklessly. We have vast field for good, and, we may likewise say, vast field ot ev1l. we can aemoroliza and corrupt the public mind and we can elevate it and refine it. And when we remember that, in the present condition of the world, public sentiment has become more powerful than vast fleets and great armies, we can better understand how much we need conscien- tiousness in the discharge of our duties. The earnest man, even from his very honesty is too much inclined to assail the motives of those who differ from him. He is too apt to pronounce his opponents either dupes, rogues, or fools. This IS resorted to frequently to impair the in duence of those whom he deems to be false leaders. But would say to one and all, from the experience of five and twenty years, that charity is one of the greatest virtues in our profession. We must all admit that it is rarely practiced, because we fear that people may be mis- led, if we admit that those whom we op- pose are acting from good motives. But as the instinct of each mans heart teaches him that he needs charity for himself, sc let it be meted out to others, whether divided or not by party lines, Let us not forget that we are all members of so great profession that we should feel c professional pride in not belittling it by personalities or unworthy depreciation. We can do great deal more good in the future if we act with that charity. It pleases me to say that in the past twenty years there has been 8 vast change fol the better in this respect. Newspapers contain one line of personal defamation now, where formerly they contained ten

 These personalities are justly considered as unworthy of our high calling ant editors, instead of being engaged in fill ing their newspapers with abuse of theil rivals are now seeking to render then replete with suggestions for the gratifi

 cation of every conceivable want of oul complex modern civilization. I would say further to my brethern, let us be SC devoted to our profession that no offer can tempt us to leave it; that no am bition can be higher than to fill the pos of an intelligent, useful and infuentia editor. ,.

The widest storms of winter do great
good by thoroughly removing any nox-

and replacing them with purer air. Air

6ers of the world. So, while we fasten
our garments more tightly around us,
and hurry along in the pelting shower

think of the health-giving oxygen that
comes on the tempest; and while en-
joying the shelter of our roof, think of
the good work going on above us IN

The Boston Journal thinks the strangest
example of ''stitch in time" is the custom
which prevails among Dutch families living in
the Catskills, that of preparing their
own grave clothes. They take great pride in
fashioning them of the finest materials and
making them up in the daintiest manner. If
the owner lives long enough for them to be-
come yellow with age they give place to new
and fresh ones.

the terms of the invitation were ex-
tended so as TO exclude men in the posi-

in the call. When this was done it il
understood that the majority of the

Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
declining the nomination for Governor,
rendered him by Grant convention,
says:


It now appears to be the intention of
the majority of the members Of the con-
ventiOn, on its re-assembling at Baton
Rouge, TO attempt an alliance with the
Customhouse party, which is to meet at
that place on the same day, for the pur-
pose of re-uniting with those whom
consider the most dangerous enemies of
the country and the State, with the ar
rogant dictatorial and corrupt admins
tratiOn Of General Grant, and with the
party which, under the leadership of his
followers and agents, would subject this
State TO continuance of rule of ignO-
rance, Yenality and corruption, unpar-
alleled in the history of any other COM
munity. The success of General Grant
at the ensuing Presidential election
would be calamity such as cannot be
contemplated without alarm. 1t would
be the perpetuatiOn, perhaps the
permanent establishment of personal
government in its worst form. Itwould
be the commencement Ofimperialism in
politics, and the utter and hopeless
degradation of political morality. 1t
would be the continuance. of an 0dious
executive and legislative tyranny which
tramples with equal indifference upon
the rights OF persons and of commune
ties; which Overturns all the muniments
Of public liberty, and drags thousands of
peaceable citizens to the common Jail on
a false pretence of secret conspiracy I;
which uses the bayonets of its sOldiery
TO Overawe a convention of the people,
and prostitutes the courts of the country
and the officers of the law to the service
OF an audaciOus attempt to overthrow
the government of a State.


1t was in order to avert these evils and
to join in the general protest against
these infamous acts, as well as to save
this State from the further depredations
of the ring of Federal officials who have
persistently used their personal and po-
litical power TO suborn and corrupt the
Legislature, that l went to Cincinnati
and participated in the nomination of
Greeley and Brown. 1t is with the view
of assisting to prevent the triumph in
this State of a party whose success would
ill the Legislature with the representa-
tives of organized ignorance and un-
blushing venality; would cause irrepara-





trievably ruin our credit, and bring con-
tempt and scorn upon even the benefi-
cial results Of Republican policy, and
upon the whole scheme of Republican
reconstruction, that l have resolved to
devote all my energies to the service of
the Liberal Republican party and the
allies who may act with it in this con
test.


] again thank the convention for the
honor conferred upon me, and trust that
you will communicate to them the re-
grets which l feel in finding myselfcom-
PEELED to seperate from the friends who
have so long and so faithfully sup
ported me.

Nothing surprises men more than
the odd ignorance OF women con
cerning them; aud half the unhap-
piness IN marrieI lite, at least lii
England, springs from that jgno-
rance. They cannot be made TO
understand the difference between
mans nature and requirements and
their own and they condemn al
that they cannot understand. IN


hose few rational homes where
mems sports and GATHERINGS, Undis-
turbed by the presence of pettieoGts,
are not made occasions for suspicion
or femOnstrance, the stock OF love
and happiness with which mal ried
life began IS more Ike the widows
cruise than elsewhere but uufol-
tunately for both husbands and
wives, these homes are rare; while
those are common where a game OF
billiards In the evening is occasion
for tears or pouting, aud deadly Of
fence IL taken at ciuD-dinners or a
weeks shooting. The consequence
of which is deceit or dissension; and
sometimes both.


The woman's ideal man has none
of these erratic tendencies. His
business done, he comes home with
the docility of n we'l-bred pointer
sent TO heel, and finds energy enough
after his hard days work for a varie-
ty of petits soins which make him
more precious IN her eyes than all
the tact, the temper, the judgment,
the uprightness, he has manifested
in his dealings with the outside world
And the domesticity which she
claims from her husband she de-
mands from her son. Latch keys
are her abomination; and the gas
left burning IS as a beacon-ight on
the way Of destruction. She has the
profoundest suspicion Of all the men
whom her boy calls his friends. She
never knows into what mischief they
may lead him; but she Is sure it Is
mischief, if they keep him away from
his home in the evening. She would
prescribe the same social restraints
and moral regimen for her son as
for her daughter; and she thinks the
energies OF masculine nature require
no wider field and no lOOser rein.


But though she likes those tame
aud tender men whom she can tie
up close to her apron strings, and
lovingly imprison IN the narrow do
main of home. she succumbs without
a struggle to the square-jawel brute
OF the Rochester type-the man who
dominates her by the mere force Of
superior strength and she IS not
too severe on Don Juan, If only she
can hatter herself that she is the best
loved and the last That these are
the men most liked by women Is
shown both by their own novels, and
by daily observation and 1t seems
to Us that, among the many subjects
of extended study of late proposed
for women, a better acquaintance
with mems minds, a higher regard
for the robler kind Of man, and the
ability to accept love as only one of
many qua1Iues, aHG NOT always ths
strongest praiseworthy of his imPul-
ses, would not be out of place.-Lo11-
