House Cleaning.
The housekeeper giveth a cheerful hop,
And we hear the musical flippety flop
Of the moiety, misty, maddening mop.
And '10,;1‘10 maddening horrors rush ‘7
Athwart ours0nls at the sappy gush
0f the‘sllppery, slimy scrubbing brush.
From early morn till even‘ng gleam
We hear the_scratehing in hallfand- room
0f the boisterous busily bebbing broom
And now there so neth a woesome wail—
That sugars sgea’raliy gusty gale-—
From a'mah with his leg in the scrubbing;

President, ‘Noah Iorter, EX‘PK sident
Woolsey, Dr. Lanard Baco-i and Profes-
sors Wayland, Harbour and Walker of- Yale
College, together with Eli-Governor anlish,
Father {Carmody and Dr. Edw'n Harwocd
Of New Hthn, have signed a circular note
to the newspapers in which they say .
“We desire to call your attention to the
cheap, trashy literature which is demoral-
izing the youth of the country. These pa
pers contain stories of the most sensationall
and slangy character, judgingby the titles,
of which we name the following: ‘Dash
ing Dick, King of the Highway ;’ ‘Yauhee
Claude Duval, the Dashing, Knight of the
Road;’ Corkey. or the Tricks and Travels
of a Supe;’ ‘Shorty, .111, or-the Sonof his
Dad ;’ Bang Up, or the Boy Rancher‘o' etc.,
etc. We see not one redeeming lrait in these
or other papers of this class. We are in-
formed that many of the advertisements in
their columns are of the most villianous kind.
Will you not do what you can to warn your
readers against the peril that besets our
youth.

The Cleveland Herald thinks that if the
President, the Republican members of Con-
gress and the Press will agree upon the fol-
lowing platform principles it will be easy to
elect a Republican majority of the next
house of Representatives and to carry the
close and doubtful States: -
1. The resumption of specie payments
in gold and silver.
2. Resistance to all schemes for inflating
the paper currency.
8. A fair and moderate tarifi that will
afford reasonable protection to American
industries.
4. An amendment to the constitution of
the United States. prohibiting the use of
money raised by public taxation for the
support of sectarian schools.
5. The speedy completion of all public
works, such as river and harbor improve-
ments, public buildings, fortifications, etc.,
now that labor and material are cheap; and
workingmen need employment, , and a liber-
'al policy for the improvement of great na-
tional channels of commerce like the Missis-
sippi_riveer and its tributaries.
WILLIAM Manor Twnan, more generally
known as “Boss Tweed,” was born in New
York, in April, 1823, and was consequently
55 years old. He learned the trade Of chair-
making, and later in life was admitted to the
bar. In 1852 he was an alderman, in 1853 a
Congressman, in 1856 a supervisor of the
city, in 1857 a school commissioner, from
1861 to 1870 deputy street commissioner, and
from 1867 to 1871 a state senator. In 1870
he was appointed commissioner of public
works, and. while in that position entered
upon his “ring" schemes of plunder that gave
him power and wealth for a season, but
which ultimately brought him to the pcni-'
tentiary. _
Gen.:James Shields.
James Shields—an Irishman by birth—an
American in every fibre of his soul—as galv
lant a man as walks the green earth-a
soldier of two wars, more terribly wounded
than any other soldier who survived his
wounds—so greatly esteemed in private life
as to have been honored by two States with
elections to the United States Senate—now
an old man, but still hale and hearty—so
poor as to ask his country for an increase of
pension—this JAMES SHIELDS has been nomi-
nated for Doorkeeper of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Not a great office to leader a
citizen, but a good thing for the old Patriot
in his poverty, and a national assertion that
he is not forgotten. .
No matter what party, or what man may
have nominated him, the moment James
Shields’ name was before that House every
member regardless of party has risen up in
its heartiest support. Common gratitude de-
manded it. The common sense of justice
and propriety of all parties throughout the
country—of all fair-thinking patriotic men—
still demands it. No other candidate should
he sought'when James Shields is in the field.
Yet, the House did not elect General
Shields, but adjourned “to consider” They
will learn that the country took note, and is
also “considering." .5. canons of the majority
has been held, and one “General Charles W.
Field” has been placed in nomination. One
Field who was cducaied at West Point, and
who drew his sword in the rebellion to de-
stroy the government that had taught him
its use. After the war—one of those who
could not endure to live lunger in this count-
ry—he went abroad, and sought service
under the Khedivc of Egypt. '
These are the men—their record is known
to all the county-Saunas and Fields. The
one an adopted citizen, who has fought and.
bled for his country; the other, a native-born
citizen, who foughtébut' 'did not bleed—
against it, and who is now brought forth
from the Egyptian darkness, to which he had
fled, to be placed on guard at the doors of an
American Congress. The House to day
chooses between these two candidates, and
while it chooses thc'country is looking on.

Heirs of an English Millionaire
' ' Wanted.
An advertisement in the Baltimore Sun
from the British consulate in Baltimore in-
dicates several points of somewhat roman- -
tic interest. In 1870, in England, the widow
of Gen. Robert Blake died, leaving an es-
rf ever a million of dollars to fall in the
It, .- :airs who are yet to turn up, and who,
tiny..- :1 probability, may be traced to early
-. sis of Baltimore. Gen. Blake died in
Suffolk, England, in 1850. There is some
doubt whether he left a will, but his widow
remained in possession of the entire estate
from his death until her death. in 1876 If
there was a'will leaving it to her, then her
heirs are the parties entitled; otherwise it
will go to the heirs of Gen. Blake. Mrs.
Blake was Miss Helcu,Sheridan, daughter of
Wm. Le Fanu Sheridan, formerly of Balti-
more, who came from Galway, Ireland, in
1811, leaving the daughter Helen in Eng-
land, where she married. The nearest rela-
, lives of Mrs. Blake are the descendants, if
any, of her mother, Mrs. Sheridan, by a
second marriage. Richard Brinsley Sheri-
danis stated "to have been a connection of
the family.
They have hada funny law suit in West
Stratford. A resident owned a hen of a
fancy breed that stayed upon a neighbor's
remises and laid anest full of eggs. Another .
en‘ belonging to the owner of the land took
possession of the nest and hatched the eggs.
Then the two neighbors got into a wrangle
.-I ~' sickens. - They were sold by No.
"3-: party, whereupon No. 1 got out
*‘ lplevin and the case was tried a
. ,: .:_o with able counsel and many
witnesses. The court, decided that the hen
that hatched the eggs was the legal mother
and dismissed the pleviu suit. ' -
In the recently published biography of
George D. Prentice a letter of his is given
whicn contains the following remark :—
hear a thousand things from the pulpit that
make me smile, yet I would rather be a
Christian of the very humblest order of in.
tellect than the most glorious gifted infidel
that ever blazed like a comet through the
Nota marrying Girl.
(From the New Brunsvnck Fredonian.
They were seated together, sideby side, ’on
i the sofa, in the most approved lover fashion—
.his arm encircling her taper waist,.ctc.
“Lizzie,” he said, “you must have read my
heart erc this; you must know'lrow' dearly I._
ldve you.” '
“Yes, Fred; you have certainly been very
attentive," said Lizzie.
_ “But, Lizzie, darling, do you love me?
Willyou be my wife?"
1 1 “Yourwife,Fredl Of all things no! No
indeed, or any one else's."
“Lizzie, what do you mean ?"
“Just what I say, Fred. I’ve two married
sisters."
“Certainly! and Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs.
Skinner have very good husbands, I believe."
“So people say; but I wouldn’t like to
stand in either May’s or Neil’s shoes; that
all." -
“Lizzie, you astonish me.”
“Look here, Fred; I’ve had over twenty-
five sleigh rides this winter, thanks to you
and my other gentlemen friends.”
Fred winced a little her 0, whether at the
remembrance 'of that unpaid livery bill, or
gentlemen friends I cannot positively
answer. '
“How many do you think my sisters have
had? .Not the sign of one, either of them.
Such pretty girls as May and Nellie- were,
too, and so much attention they used to
have 7"
“Now Lizzie—”
“I am fond of going to the theatre oc-
casionally as wellas a lecture oracoucert-
sometimes, and I shouldn’t like it if I pro-
posed attcnding any such entertainment to be
invariably told that times was hard and my
husband couldn’t afford it, and then to have
him snealeof alone.”
“Lizzie, Lizzie—”
“And then once in a dog‘s age he did con-
descend to go with me anywhere in the even-
ing, I shouldn’t like to be left to pick my
way along the slippery places, at the risk of
breaking my neck, he walking along uncou-
Sciously by my side. I’m of a dependent,
clinging nature, and I need the protection of
a strong arm.”
“Lizzie, this is all nonsense.”
“I’m the youngest in our family, and per-
haps I‘ve been spoiled. At all events, I
know it would break my heart to have my
husband vent “all the ill-temper which he
conceals from the world on my defenseless
head.” '
“But, Lizzie, I promise you that I—”
dOh, yes, Fred; I know what you are
. going to say—that you will be different; but
Mnry’and-Nell have told me time and again
that no better husbands than theirs ever
lived; no, .Fred, as a lover, you are just as
perfect, and I shall hate awfully to give it
up. Still, if you are bent on marrying, there,
are plenty of girls who have not married
sisters, or who are not wise enough to profit
by their example, if they have. And don’t
fret about me, for I’ve no doubt I can find
some one to fill your place—”
“But before LiZzic concluded, Fred made
for the door, muttering something “unmou-
tionable to cars polite.”
"There!” exclaimed Lizzie, as the door
closed with a’bang. “I knew he was no
better than the rest. That’s the way John
and Aleckswear and slam doors, when things
don‘t go just right. He’d make a perfect
brute of a husband. but I'm sorry he name
to the point 'so soon, for he was just an
splendid beau."
INTERESTING TELaPn'oNE Exrxnmsx'r.——
The Philadelphia papers state that some inter-
esting experiments with Edson's carbon
telephone were conducted on Tuesday on the
Western Union line between Philadelphia and
New York. Experiments were conducted
over a circuit of 106 miles, the line passing
through amaze of wires, crossing fivc streams
in cables and passing underground in New
York city to the Western Union office, where
there is great electrical disturbance, owing to
the number of batteries collected there. The
carbon transmitter worked perfectly, every
word spoken at one end of the line being
clearbr articulated at the other. The test was
a severe one,\a's on a line exposed to such
electrical disturbances the ordinary magneto-
telephone cannot transmit intelligible sounds.
The carbon telephone is thus far the only one
that has been successfully » worked over long
lines exposed to the disturbing influence of
induction from other lines. It receives its
name from the use of a carbon disc. (made of
the smoke that gathers on a lamp chimney),
which forms part of an electric circuit. '

A HINT T0 TEACHERS AND PARENTs.—It is
not enough recognized by some teachers that
their special business is to act as inspirer and
hence as creator. It is their business to create
if possible in the mind of the pupil a certain
confidence in himself andiu his own powers.
The teachers who can do this are those who
,creat a genuses out of common material.
There is no word which ought to beheard
oftenér in a school-room then that of en-
couragement. “Yes, you can do it.” “Yes.
you can understand it.” “Do not be afraid
to try.” “You do know it.” Such are the
phrases which should be common as house?
hold words in every sclmola'omu. \Vhere
they are so. the faith of the teacher in the
power of the child creates in his mind a cer-
tain faith in himself, and then the work is
well begun. On that confidence he can ven-
ture to take another slop. and then another,
and yet another.—.’-in«na 0 Brrwletl.
Wham-2 CLAIB JACKSON Gorilla \VII'ES.—
The "I‘exorkana (Men) Democrat tells this
story .l“Claiborne F. Jackson, native of Ken-
tucky, was once governor of the state of
Missouri“ He, joined the southern confeder-
acy, and died during his term at a farm-house
opposite the city of Little Rock, among
strangers, with no kind hand of affection
near to soothe his pain and rob his death-bed
of half its anguish. The most remarkable fact
connected with the history of his life is per-
haps the statement that he married five sis-
ters in one of the most respectable, wealthy
and distinguished families in the state; that
_as soon as one wife would die he would go
and marry her sister in reasonable time. Of
course, some of them Were widows when he
married them. In connection with the mar-
riages there was a. standing joke told at the
' expense of the Governor, which was that,
when he went to ask the old gentleman's
consent to marry the last one, the venerable
father said, “Yes, Claib, you can haveher.
You have got them all. For goodness sake;
don’t ask me for the old woman."
The manner in which the new Pope took
his name of “_Leo” is thus described: Mon-
siguor Lasagui (pro-Secre:ary of State dur-
ing the Conclave) had already risen to dis-
patch Tommaso Tosit captain of the Con-
clave, with the oflicial announcement to the
Marshal Prince Chigi, that the Conclave
would be open at 4 p. m., and that the Mar-
shal would be first admitted to kiss the
sacred foot, when it occurred to him that the
title by which the new Pope was to be pro-
claimed was yet unknown. "By what name,”
he asked, “does your Holiness choose to be
made known?" “Who is the patron saint of
to-day I” “St. Leo.” “Then announce me
as Leo XIII.”
Of the minor uses of the phonograph the
New York Herald says :—"It is claimed that
at the coming Christmas there will be a thou-
sand and one novelties in toys; dolls are to
speak in any language that may be desired ;
the animals of Noah’s ark are to give forth
their natural tones of voice, and there is al-
most every kind of self acting musical instru-
ment, in every size and shape. The great use
of the instrument is expected to befound in
commercial life. It can be used in connec-
tiou with the telephone, and messages may
be recorded by the person sending and also
by the the person receiving, thus preserving
_a fidelity in business transactions that hither-
to has been unattainable by any telegraphic
process.

During the last four months Ceylon has
been visited by a succession of floods. which
have caused great destruction of property
and seriously impaired the prospects Of the
coming coffee crop. In some districts as
much as 50 inches of rain have been register-
red in 20 days; and from the let ovaovember
to the 20th of January last, 140 inches of

"that an elephant here had a disease in his
eyes. . For three days he had been complete-
ly blind. His owner, an English officer,
asked Dr. Webb if he could do anything to

casioned. The effect, however, was wonder-

the animal could partially see. The next day
when he was brought, and heard the doctor‘s
voice, he laid down of himself, placed his
enormous head on one side, curled up his
trunk. drew in his breath (just like a person
to endure an operation). gave a sigh of relief
when it was over, jind then by trunk and
gesture evidently wished to express his
gratitude.

Dewitt Talmadge laid down theology in
this way, Sunday: The best music has been
rendered» under trouble. Those who cannot
.smg must learn to sing. The construction of
the human threat is indicative of what God
means us to do with it. There are fourteen
direct muscles that produce 10,383 sounds
and 30 indirect muscles that produce 173,741,
822 sounds and the human voice can produce
17,592,185,044,415 difierent sounds. What
does that mean? It means that mean sing.
If a man can sing- and won’t sing he desérves
to be sent to Sing Sing.
