_ , A. Milly-Air Compromise.
Not many years ago, and not far from the
city of Elmira, at a locality known as “The
Female College,” the circumstances which
we are about to relate took place. It seems
that the principal of the college accidentally
overhearda plan among a number of_ his
young lady students of drawing a young
gentleman up to one of the third story
rooms, "in a basket at night,” as no gentle-
men suitors were permiltédio visit their
college lady loves, and see them aloue,un-
der the strict rules of the institution. The
principal acted accordingly; and at the up-
pointcd time was at the designated spot, and
when the basket. was let down took the
lover's place, gave the “signal twitch,” and
commenced going up, towards heaven,
drawn by a trinity or two of angels. When
two-thirds up, the angel expectant on look-
ing down from the window, discovered to
her terror and dismay that instead of her
and, nearly frightened out of her wits, made
the fact known to her fair helpers in mis-
chief with Ihe pertinent inquiry, “What
shall we do i" , Whereupon one of their
number-meted for her coolness and presence
of mind in trying emergencies, said :
“Here i you all hold on this rope now, do
net as I tell you, and I’ll take clue of the
min, no matter who the man‘is or where
he came from.” p ' ’
Then, taking out her pocket-knife and
opening it, she leaned out of the window,
and in a low but firm voice, said:
“Who are you in the basket ?"
No response. - ,
“I say, who are you in that basket? . Do
you hear ? I have a knife in my hand and
unless you answer me in less than ten
seconds 1 will cut the rope.”
“Why, it’s your Principal, don't you know
me ? Don’t, for mercy’s sake anhe‘ rope i
Keep your knife further away from it I"
“Well. you are in a pretty fix, Professor,
—n pretty fix, indeed—and hanging between
heaven and earth, between life and death,
What do you think ought to be done with
you 1’ A Principal of a female college. who
thus endeavors at night to clandesliuely
reach the room. of a lady student ought to
be severely punished and also exposed.”
“Oh! Ibeg of you not'to harm me nor
expose me ; but let .me down again care-
fully, and don’t let the rope slip I”
“Professor," said the shrewd beauty, “on
one condition only will we comply with
your request.” . '
' “Name it, name _it I”
“You must solemnly promise that none of
us ‘who have been engaged in this little
romance shall be discipliucd'for it, and that
you shall make no mention of it to any
living soul while we are inmates of this
college, with the understanding that we ob-
sch the same solemn promise. What say
you P” . '
“I promise ; solemnly promise.”
_ “Very. well. Hold up your right hand.
You solemnly swear that you will faith-
fully kcep andobserve that promise, so help
you God I"
“I do I"
, “Enough, girls. He has taken the oath.
Lower away i”
The “Professor” was soon carefully land-
ed once more, on lerra firma,greatly to his
own relief, and greatly to the joy, no doubt,
of the other party to the compromise, and
he lived up to his oath. In ,ullereycars,
however, when time had absolved him from
it, and the lover whose basket he.“mouopo.
lized” on that eventful night, had,us the
story. goes, married the girl—who on that
occasion was up “far above llinl,”—tlle Pro-
fessor used to tell' the adventure to his par-
ticular friends and laugh over it till the
_tears ran down, his cheeks, as the mostlu-
dicrous sorape he' ever got into- in all his
college life; and as the only one he was let
out of under an oath administered.

“OLD PROE.”-—The idea which may be
entertained by some that the weather prog-
nosticalions sent out by the signal office
daily are really made by a certain old gen-
tleman deeply versed in meteorological-lore,
and to whom the irreverent appellation of
“Old Probabilities” properly belongs, is
altogether fallacious. If that name belongs
to any one in particular, it ought, perhaps,
to altadh to Gen. Albert J. Myer, the chief
signal oficer, under whose general direction
weather predictions are made—all except
the "Old," which does not apply. Gen.
Myer, however, has not- direct agency in
compiling the daily reports, that workbeing
assignedio three gentlemen—Lieut. Robert
Craig, of the United States army, and Pro-
fessors Cleveland Abbe and Thompson B;
Morey—who alternate in making the daily
meteorological forecasts. None of these
gentlemen are old men. Licut. Craig is a
graduate of West Point, and is about twen-
tv-eigbt years of age ; Professor Abbe, who
was formerly, director of the Cincinnati
observatory, is but thirty-five, and Professor
Morey, who was a few years ago president
ofa Kentucky college, is about the same
age. The professors have no connection
with the military service. but are simply
cmploybd to aid in‘ compiling the reports
All of these gentlemen are enthusiastic
meteorologists, and were selected wuh a.
special view to their peculiar qualifications
for the positions they now fill. It will be
seen from’this statement of facts that “Old
Probabilities" is a myth,‘and that the public
.is indebted for the daily weather reports
printed in the press to three young men, all
of whom, as we have before stated, are
under thirty-five years of age.
Thelate Prince Albert once paid a visit
to a school, and heard the teacher make one
of the classes go through what is termed, in
the phrascology, au‘ object lesson. Now,
can you tell me anything about heat? was
one of the questions. A bright little man
held forth his hand, as much as to say that
he could. Well, now, my boy, said the
teacher, what do you know ? Heat expands
said the boy, in a jerky style of delivery
characteristic of his years. Heat expands——
cold contracts. The teacher looked at the
prince for approval. The prince bowed his
head, and smiled approbation. The lcacll-
er, eager for more such smiles, went on
Very good, he said, now give me all 'cxam-

ter the days are short.

As some doubthss been expressed with the
truth of the felony of..hia' Exploits, we will
to a circuit, and upon a certain occasion was
invited to dine with a wealthymun.
Carpets were not near so commml then as
they are now. Most people had their doors
scoured very clean, and nice, white sand
.sprlnkied over them. Sometimes an extra
touch was given the floor by sprinkling
black sand about in streaks and figures over
the white. 3
This wealthy man with whom the young
preacher was to dine, however, had a carpet,
qut it was not large enough to cover the
floor, so there was a naked place all round
the room about the width ofa chair. ,
It was the first carpet the preacher had
ever seen. and he thought it would not do
to step on it, so he look a seat near the wall
and drew his feet around on each side of his
chair so as not to touch it. ‘
After a While a servant came in, and
spreading down a piece of linen in the mid-
dle of the reom, placed the dining table 0
it and began to set it. . ‘
The preacher was greatly troubled, he did
not know how he was to get from the naked
place where he sat to the piece of linen on
which the table stood. He knew he could
e
how was he to manage with the chair be-
l‘ween his feet he did not know. But then
the' thing must be done some way ;‘ so when
dinner was announced he arose from his
chair and' summoning all his energies he
made a desperate loop, and to his great joy
made the trip in sufcty.—Paczfic Methodist.

An Attack ‘on “a; Teapot.

attack upon the teapot. “"ca," says our
medical contemporary, “is no more a fit
thing to drink in excess than is alcohol.”
It is admitted ihutlca bibbing is much- less
Thai,'of course, must be self-evident to every
one; but the Lancet proceeds to analyze
with a dreadful, ulinulcncss the principal
strates that the quantities of this beverage
drunk every day, especially by women of
the poorer class, must prove “decidedly
videuce of the good influence eerrted upon noxious." The mischief arises in this way, a

It would be impossible to keep up with
the slandcrs, new and old, with which the
President’s enemies are trying to destroy his
good name. One of the last of these was
invented and used by General Kilpatriek in
[nine and elsewhere, to the effect that
when General Rawlings lay on his death-
bed hc telegraphed to‘ General Grant at
Saratoca : “General I am dying ; I must 'see
on before I die ; come here 1" Grant, said
ilpalrick 'refuscd to go, preferring rather to
attend a ball at Saratoga. Kilpatrick dWelt
upon the theme, contrasting the d 'ing
an'ouies of Rawliugs with the ingratitu e of
cncral Grant in refusing to hasten to his
bedside. The only grain of truth in this
st'ory is the fact that the President was in
Saratoga during Rowling’s last illness.
While there he received a dispatch from
General Sherman, merely saying “Rawlin
is worse”, At this moment a special tram
was in waiting, which was to convey. the
general to Ulica, where he expected to meet
a large concourse of citizens. There was no
urging, no entreating in Sherman’s dea- .
patch to Grant to hurry back to Washing-
ton. He was simply informed, Rowlings is
worse.” Grant instantly relinquished the
visit to Utica, and hastened back to Albany,
