He was thoroughly acquainted with tlio Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Spanish, liobemian, Polish, Danish and other languages, numbering 80 in all. The British Museum is said to poshes a finer American library than any in the United-States. Charles Loland is -taking full advantage of it, reading up ami collecting material for his life of Lincoln. Wirt Sikes, whoso work on the Folk Lere of Wales is already attracting the attention of scholars, reads constantly at the Museum whon his leave of absencefroni his post permits. The Leipzig correspondent of a Philadelphia paper mentions a minor that KichardWagner, the composer, has become hopelessly insane, and adds: Heretofore ho has been considered very ococntrto, but eccentricity like his is often incipient madnott, and a morbid brain is apt to fail entirely when employed upon mich prodigious work as Jias occupied him for so many years." Mr. J. Payne Collier writes to the AUitnum that he bollves indeed, he is confident--ho has found another tragedy by Shakspoaro. The title of it is " A warning for Fair Women," and it was printed in 1599 anonymously. The .tory is domestic, and relates to the murder of a husband by his wife nearly twenty years before Shakspearo was a popular writor for the stage. Till now the name of Shakspeare has never been connected with it, but the strongest internal evidence, in the opinion of Mr. "Collier, shows it to bo his. Professor H. W. Longfellow was 72 3"ears old on the 27th of February. The -children of Cambridge celebrated the occasion very prettily by a gilt of an elaborately carved arm-chair, znado ironi the ancient horse-chestnut tree, whose perfections are chanted in the Village Blacksmith." The carving represents horse-chestnut loaves, blossoms and burrs. On a snail brass plate is this inscription: "To the author of the Village Blacksmith this chair, made from the wood of the spreading chestnut tree, is presented as an expression of grateful regard and veneration by the children of Cambridge; who with tlieir friends join in best wishes and -congratulations on this anniversary. .February 27, 1879." Science and Industry. The new ice-works in Columbus, Ja., will furnish iceatooo cent, a pound cheaper than nature can manufacture it. North Carolina will employ 50 convicts in draining and reclaiming Angola Hay an immense body of swamp land. American anthracite coal, conveyed by sailing vessels to Marseilles and fey rail to Geneva, is sold in the latter place for about $10 a ton. It is cheaper than German or French coal and better. The principal centers for tho manufacture of coral ornaments are Naples, Leghorn, and Marseille. In tho former more than 1,000 women are employed in making coral beads for necklaces, etc. Twenty per cent, of the total export, -of the United Statos during the liscal year, were mnnuf acturoe. 1 hey exceeded the total wheat export an J nearly equaled tho valuo of raw cotton sent to England. Not many years ago tho valuo of the silk manufacture of Franco was far in excess of that of worsted, but the latter is now of more value than the former. The total value of tho worsted industry in France is $120,000,000, noarly half of which is exported. Kngineors of steamships have found that the beet lubricants are glycerine for the cylinders and castor oil for the bearings. When castor oil is used the main bearings seldom become hoated. Only th best glycerine can bo employed with advantage, but when it is of a high grade the results leave but little to be desired. Pittsburg, Pa., produce more than half the glass made in tho United States. Its factories number 7, with G90 pots, and givo employment to 5,218 hands, whose wages approach $;i,O00,OOO a year. Tho materials employed in the manufacture were, the past year, 12,110 tons aodaMli, 48,!H0 tons of sand, 152,000 bushels of lime, 1,218 tons nitrate soda, 783,500 bushels of coke, 4,525,700 bushels of coal, 4,020 cords wood, 0,055 tons of straw, 2,7ti0 barrels of salt, 350 tons pearl-ash, 360 tone of lead, 150,000 fire-brick, 2,955 tons of German clay.

Tho total cost, for all public schools in Michigan last year was $2,98,193.20. Tho Governor laments that while the system of teaching is in (he main excel lent, thoughtful observers declare that it is wanting in. thoroughness. The State Normal School trained last year 608 students ; the whole number graduated in '77 and '78 was 181. A number of friends of Princeton College have agreed to pay off the existing debt of the College, amounting to 120,000, on the condition that no further debt should ever be contracted, but that the College should henceforth keep its annual expense within its income. Since Dr. MoCosh became President donations amounting to $2,5O0,0b0 have been made to the College. Superintended Kliot, of Boston, in his recently published semi-annual report, considers the frequent or habitual use of corporal punishment in the schools a confession of some degree of intellectual or moral weakness in tho toachor himself, and that this belief is borne out by the fact that tho best discipline and tho highest development of tho powers of the pupils aro found in tivnse schools where corporal punishment is unknown. Dr. Kliot urges that no teacher should bo allowed to punish :t pupil during tho same session in which tho offense was committed, and that he should be requirod to report, not only the reason for the use of tho rod, but the reason for choosing this punishment in preference to any other, and also the effect of tho punishment npon the pupil's conduct and behavior. Superintendent Wickerhara, of Pennsylvania, in comparing the elementary schools of Europe and Ameri ca says that tho foreicn schools are moro carefully inspected : their course of study is better; their terms are longer : tho teachers havo made moro special preparation for their work, and more attention is paid to moral and religious instruction. Tho American school's, he thinks, surpass, tho European ones in these particulars : Wo have better school-houses, our school-furniture is superior, our text-books aro better, our schools are thoroughly free, our teachers have moro tact and natural aptness for their work, and, more is done to form character iu America the school is a social force, always moving upward. Hap and M l.i h ftps. Benjamin Flynn, a farmer who resided near Miami City, O., was instantly killed while adjusting some machinery in a saw-mill in which he was working. A little daughter of Marion Kline, of Middleport, O., drank a quantity of concentrated lye which had been "prepared for washing purposes and luft on a table. She died in a few hours. Dr. E.

At Mitchell, Ind., as John Baker and family wore moving a tall tree which had been cut down and was lying oloso to tho roadside, a branch caught in tho harness, springing hack and striking the baby, which Mrs. Baker held iu her arms, instantly killing it. Mrs. Catherine Louisa Voelkor, of Buffalo, Is'. Y., was combing her little daughter's hair, when a lamp standing on a bureau near by was overturned. The mother's dress was saturated with the burning oil and she was fatally injured before the flames could bo extinguished. While seven men wero at work on the new United Brethren Churoh at Elkhart, Ind., the scatlblding gave w ty and precipitated them to the ground, injuring three fatally.

In getting into the wagon Taylor' gun was accidentally discharged, the contents striking Guy in tho iorehead, causing instant death. John MoNulty, of Columbus, O., killed himself with his own gun while duck hunting. James Koring, of Dennison, O., was fatally shot by a companion while hunting.

French and English The fishermen on the coast of Sussex and the opposite coast of France often have occasion to' change civilities at But how can they do so, not knowing each other's language? Some years ago we were told they got over the difficulty without cost or trouble by an exceedingly simple and satisfactory process. They exchanged children. A Sussex man took the son of a Frenchman to board for a time in his family, and let the Frenchman have his son in return. In this accommodating way French fisher-boys learned English and English fisher-boys learned French. It was a beautiful arrangement throughout, for beside any advantage derived from lingual inter-commnnieatlon, feelings of good-will grew u between the two nations. Ctetnfora'a Jtttrmt,
